Chapter 23 Recruitment of Talents

The two came to the staircase of the proud building together, and the two guards guarding the staircase saw that it was the son of the city guard, and they began to bow down to greet them from a distance.

Su Songyi nodded slightly, and walked straight upstairs, Shi Ziling naturally followed him step by step, and a guard asked, "Master Su, is this one coming with you?"

Su Songyi said: "Yes, this Boss Lu came with me to enjoy Miss Huangying's demeanor, and by the way, I gambled a few hands." With that, he went straight upstairs.

Shi Ziling followed Su Songyi upstairs closely, and the two guards all knew that Su Songyi had always been the most loyal fan of Miss Huang Ying, and since Shi Ziling was brought by him, the son of the city guard, he naturally couldn't stop it.

Su Songyi and Shi Ziling came upstairs and directly entered the casino in the inner hall. Although there were not as many people in the gambling hall as downstairs, there were not many of them, and everyone greeted him when they saw Su Songyi coming in.

Su Songyi is a frequent visitor here, and he is also a representative of the noble son in Songhu City, not only the Duanmu family and Caiyunxuan who run the proud building know him, but even many guests here also know him.

Su Songyi didn't have the shelf of a city guard at all, and nodded politely to everyone who greeted him.

Gu Fei, the deputy commander of the garrison, and Chen Gongzhao, the garrison lord, also saw Su Songyi, and immediately came over to greet him together, and introduced Luo Linhai to him.

Su Songyi had just heard the news that Luo Linhai, the number one master in the capital, had come to Songhu City, but he didn't expect to meet him on this "proud building", so he hurriedly bowed to Luo Linhai and said: "I have heard the name of Lord Luo for a long time, I didn't expect to see the prince here, and I am fortunate to meet him." ”

Luo Linhai knew that Su Songyi was the son of Su Bairen, the lord of the city, and was also very polite, and said:

"Su Gongzi is polite, this prince has been staying in Yanjing City is really a little tired, take advantage of this time to come to Songhu City on business, just to see the prosperity of the largest city in the east. Today, I took a little stroll, and it really deserves its reputation, especially to be able to come to the world's famous 'Proud Building' to gamble a few hands, which is really a great joy in life. Why, isn't Su Gongzi a frequent visitor here?"

Su Songyi said: "The kid has nothing to do on weekdays, so he will often come to the 'Proud Building' to mess around, which makes Lord Luo laugh." ”

Luo Linhai said with a smile: "Su Gongzi seems to be a talent, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future." If you are interested in a career, you can actually consider going to Yanjing City with me for development. Now that the situation is unstable, the imperial court is the time to employ people, and young talents like Su Gongzi are exactly the talents that the imperial court urgently needs. ”

Su Songyi said: "Lord Luo is too complimentary, I have always had no ambitions, and I am already very satisfied with the gangsters in Songhu City, Yanjing City is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, how can a person like me who is used to being idle go." ”

Luo Linhai showed a look of regret and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, Su Gongzi is at ease in Songhu City, in fact, this prince is also very envious." ”

Su Songyi saw that this famous prince didn't have much of a stand, and he seemed quite friendly, and couldn't help but have a good impression of him, and after everyone sat down, he asked: "The prince came all the way to our Songhu City, I don't know what the so-called Dao is?"

Luo Linhai said: "This king's trip to Beijing this time is specifically for the imperial court to recruit talents. ”

"Now Yanjing City is starting to form a new legion, and the plan is to expand the original three major legions in the capital to five, but it is easy to recruit ordinary sergeants, but it is difficult to recruit first-class masters. Therefore, the emperor asked me to search for masters throughout the Bright Moon Continent, hoping to find a suitable candidate to go to Yanjing City to join our newly formed legion. ”

"In addition, recently there was a young master named Shi Ziling in the east of you, and upon the recommendation of Lord Lingzun City Shousu, the imperial court specially approved this deputy general Shi Ziling to be directly promoted to the position of the capital of the fifth grade, and asked me to give him a seal by the way. ”

"By the way, there is also good news that Lord Su has told you that the emperor has approved the request of Songhu City to expand the garrison of the city, and agreed to be led by Lord Su to form the 'Songhu Army' in the east. ”

Su Songyi was shocked, his father Su Bairen has been reporting to the imperial court for many years to expand the garrison army, but he has never followed, and he didn't expect it to be approved all of a sudden, and he was also greatly promoted to the military position of Shi Ziling, which is really good news.

In this way, Songhu City can justifiably recruit troops and horses to expand its power, coupled with the sharp rise in the appeal of Shiziling, I believe that a strong Songhu Army will soon be formed, and then there will be no need to fear the invasion of foreign powers.

Su Songyi said with some excitement: "The Holy Lord's approval of the formation of the Songhu Legion is such a big news, why haven't I heard my father mention it?"

Luo Linhai said: "I went to the south first when I went out of Beijing this time, and the official document approving the establishment of the 'Songhu Army' is not on me, but will be brought by another messenger, and I will arrive in Songhu City in a few days." ”

"In addition to recruiting talents everywhere, I came by the way to give the seal to that stone tomb. I just arrived in Songhu City yesterday, and I just told Master Su the news first, and when the official approval arrives, Lord Su will announce it to everyone. ”

Su Songyi knew that the current military system stipulates that all important military posts that are allowed to lead more than 30,000 people must be uniformly awarded a special big seal by the Ministry of War, otherwise it is illegal. In this city, only Zhao Xiong, the official seal of the city defenders, has a large seal officially awarded by the Ministry of War, and Shi Ziling is the second general to receive this honor.

In fact, the implementation of this regulation is not strict in some places, such as the leaders of the two major legions of the Blue Wolf and the Grizzly Bear under the command of Tongtian Sect Leader Li Yuan were appointed by Li Yuan himself, and they were not officially awarded the seal by the imperial court at all, and no one in the court said that they were illegal, of course, even if Li Yuan said it, he would not ignore it.

This time, Luo Linhai was specially asked to confer the seal for Shiziling, I believe it is just a gesture for the emperor to win over the power of Shiziling and Songhu City.

Chen Gongzhao on the side also just heard the news of Shi Ziling's promotion, and couldn't help but be a little depressed, he thought that this Luo Wangye was just out to travel in the mountains and rivers under the guise of recruiting talents, but he didn't expect him to bring such important news and appointments.

What is even more unexpected is that Su Bairen, the lord of the city guard, did not reveal anything to the public this time, and Chen Gongzhao, the garrison lord, also knew nothing about this matter, if it wasn't for Luo Linhaikou's speed, he would have been kept in the dark.

Luo Linhai saw that everyone looked shocked, and said with a smile: "Why, I see that you are all surprised, it seems that Master Su's secret work is really very good." It stands to reason that I shouldn't talk too much before the official document arrives, but that's what I have to say, I'll say whatever comes to mind, ha, I'm sorry......"

Su Songyi said: "Lord Luo is quick to speak, it is really admirable, I think the reason why my father did not release the news to the public for the first time, of course, is because the official official document has not yet come down, but also because the general Shiziling who was promoted this time is going out and has not returned to Songhu City, it seems that he is only afraid that he will not be able to directly get the seal of Lord Luo." ”

Luo Linhai was surprised: "Yes, isn't that Shi Ziling in Songhu City? I don't know when he will come back? I really want to see this young master who came out of nowhere." ”

"But it doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry anyway, even if I stay in Songhu City for a little longer, it doesn't matter. In addition to the 'Proud Building', there is also the famous 'Deyue Building' I haven't been to it, it's rare to come to Songhu City for a trip, if you don't see the world's first Oiran Su Xiaoxiao, wouldn't it be a trip in vain, Ha Lu Ha ......"

Everyone laughed with Luo Linhai, feeling that this prince was indeed quite straightforward, and he didn't care about his royal status at all.
