Chapter 7: Nothing is unsolved by silver
Meng Xingci also understood, no wonder Ye Xun compromised so quickly to pick her up in prison. He had already laid out an empty city plan for her, this is really empty!
Meng Xingci had to grit his teeth and thank him: "It's really embarrassing for the prince, and he has to send me to take office when he is busy with official business." ”
Ye Xun actually hooked the corners of his lips, "Lord Meng is polite, Lord Meng came from afar, I promised the emperor that he would take good care of Lord Meng, so naturally I can't break my word." After a pause, his dark eyes met hers: "You and me, the coming day will be long." ”
Ye Xun finished speaking meaningfully, turned around and left.
Meng Xingci stared at his back, if it weren't for Song Nian watching from the side, she couldn't wait to kick him directly.
Ling Huan looked at Meng Xingci pitifully: "My lord, what should we do?" ”
Meng Xingci waved his hand weakly: "Let people pack up their things first." ”
Song Nian said: "My lord, there are many people in my convoy, in order to prevent thieves from sneaking in, these people still need to be investigated, and they cannot be released for the time being." ”
Meng Xingci is really angry now, what will she do if she doesn't release her? How is she going to clean up this mess? Is it possible to let her go in person?
Ling Huan stood in front of Meng Xingci, glared at Song Nian angrily and said, "What thieves sneaked in, those were all brought by adults from Shangjing, how could there be thieves?" ”
"This is the rule of the goose returning to the customs, and there is no way for the subordinates." Song Nian said slowly.
Ling Huan jumped to his feet in anger, and just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Meng Xingci.
"Okay, Ling Huan, how did you talk to Song Xiucai?" Meng Xing said softly: "There are no rules. Song Xiucai is right, we are new to the army, and we must not break the rules of the army. ”
From Meng Xingci's mouth, the name of 'Xiucai' was inexplicably ridiculed.
Song Nian's face darkened.
Ling Huan was triumphant, "Oh, my lord, it's all the slave's fault, the slave shouldn't have contradicted Song Xiucai!" ”
Song Nian was full of cold air: "It seems that the adults don't need subordinates anymore, and the subordinates have also taken their leave." ”
Song Nian actually threw up his sleeves and left.
Ling Huan lowered his face and asked Meng Xingci, "What should we do?" ”
Meng Xingci reversed the bitter look on his face just now, and instead smiled slightly: "Linghuan, my lord believes in a truth. ”
"What truth?"
"In this world, there is nothing that silver can't solve, and if there is, it's that there isn't enough silver." Meng Xing said slowly: "And it just so happens that your family has a lot of silver. ”
The Meng family is a Jiangnan family with strong financial resources. The Meng family is involved in many industries, and Meng Xingci, as the grandson of the long house, naturally has no shortage of her silver. Zhao Jin once suspected that Meng Xingci might be richer than him, he should actually be confident, Meng Xingci is indeed richer than him.
What's more, Meng Xingci's mother is also the daughter of a family member. The dowry when she got married was really ten miles of red makeup, and Mrs. Meng only had one 'son' from Meng Xingci, and she couldn't wait to give her all the good things, and Meng Xingci had never lacked silver.
Soon, Meng Xingci personally wrote a recruitment notice and posted it in front of the yamen.
Recruit a small maid and a concierge, five taels of silver per person per month, and also recruit wood craftsmen, one or two silver a day, including room and board. In addition, 20 reserve servants were recruited, fifteen taels of silver per month, including food and lodging, clothes for all seasons, and subsidies for injuries.
When this notice was posted, the entire Suiyuan County was a sensation. I've never seen such a high-paying errand! You must know that ten taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to live for a year.
But half an hour later, the people who came to apply for jobs were crowded with the government.
Meng Xing's recruitment method is very simple and rude, even if the person who arrives first is hired, and then he will be directly pulled to work. Repair the house, repair the furniture, make the things that can't be repaired, buy the materials you don't have, it's okay, Master Meng has silver.
A few craftsmen and carpenters have never done such a happy job, and Meng Xingci has a little request, not the best, but the most expensive. Cheap things are not worthy of Lord Meng's identity.
Under the big willow tree, Meng Xingci sat in the rocking chair made by the carpenter, and began to interview the little maid and the porter.
Regarding these people, Meng Xingci's requirements are relatively high.
"This one is too skinny."
"It's too ugly." Meng Xingci looked disgusted.
Ling Huan suddenly ran back and said excitedly: "My lord, I saw a little guy over there, who is handsome, let's leave him behind, right?" ”
Meng Xingci looked at her hand curiously, nodded, and praised her: "It's really pleasing to look at, so let him watch the door." ”
Ling Huan responded crisply.
Meng Xing resigned and recruited two small servants, a porter, all of whom were handsome. What I know is to choose a small guy, and what I don't know is to think it's a beauty pageant.
Then there is the selection of reserve officials, and Meng Xingci is even more selective about this.
To be physically strong, it would be better if you knew how to do martial arts moves.
Suiyuan County is a large county with military households, and almost half of the households are military households. also has a lot of experience in joining the army, which has saved Meng Xing a lot of things.
Meng Xingci shook his rocking chair, drowsy. The people who came to apply for jobs stood all over the courtyard, and there were hundreds of them. The shade of the tree blocked Meng Xingci's face, making it impossible to see her expression clearly.
So many people stood in front of her, and after half an hour, she turned a blind eye and did not say a word.
Everyone stood in the scorching sun, sweating profusely. In front of her was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old weak young man, she looked leisurely and complacent, without the slightest bit of strength, but these strong men could not have the slightest dissatisfaction.
Some people have begun to be unable to bear the crumbling, but only one man is as immobile as a mountain and very strong.
"Wow, this is too strong, right?" Ling Huan looked at the middle-aged man named Zhong Dayong in front of him, and his eyes were dumbfounded.
"Your Excellency, take him in! After watching it, Song Xiucai dared to bully me! Ling Huan shouted.
Meng Xingci couldn't help but say a word of conscience: "He bullied you? I think you're bullying him. ”
Ling Huan pursed his lips: "My lord! ”
Meng Xingci ignored her, but looked at Zhong Dayong: "This reserve official is not a serious official officer. He doesn't have the identity of an official, but he does all the things of a servant. Can you make sure that you can do a good job of this reserve? ”
Zhong Dayong is physically strong, and it is like a hill to that station, which makes people feel very safe.
Zhong Dayong smiled innocently: "I will do whatever the adults ask me to do!" ”
This answer made Meng Xingci's eyes flash, and he smiled slightly: "I accepted it." ”
