Respectful...... Lord of the Castle?

Everyone looked at Zhang Mingda blankly, in disbelief.

Zhang Mingda, as an old man and a scholar, hates all kinds of evil deeds of the three princes, such as a number of family treasures, and it is not the same to scold people with culture, everyone likes to hear him criticize the three princes.

Why did the third prince become a respected city lord in a blink of an eye?

Someone couldn't help but be angry: "Old Zhang, were you bought by the third prince, why did you start to help him speak?" ”

"Whew! The old man is upright, how can he be bought with just a few dollars? ”

Zhang Mingda scolded loudly, and then said: "Let me tell you, this notice says that the City Lord's Mansion will give porridge for half a month from tomorrow, once in the morning and once in the evening!" Such a wise lord, can I let you insult me? ”

"What? Soup kitchen?! ”

"Once in the morning and once in the evening, then I can eat two meals a day?"

"Woo woo, don't we really have to be hungry, the city lord has really gotten better."

"With this kind of city lord, our good days are coming!"

"Great, I'll bring the child before dawn and wait!"

……

When more and more people learned the news, they gathered under the notice board and cried with joy, telling their joy.

At this moment, another guard walked out of the city lord's mansion and posted another notice.

Someone couldn't wait to urge: "Elder Zhang, let's take a look at what has been written, is there something good again?" ”

Compared to before, their mentality has changed significantly, they were originally scared when they saw the notice, and instinctively felt that it was not a good thing, but now they are full of anticipation, thinking that the city lord will surprise them.

Zhang Lao looked over, and his pupils suddenly shrank, "This, this is ......"

"Stop playing dumb riddles, please tell me quickly." Countless people urged.

"It's a job posting."

Zhang Lao took a deep breath and read it out slowly, "Recruit a person who can read and count, fifty wen a day, recruit ten healthy adult men, thirty wen a day, the above wages are settled according to one month, all personnel include three meals a day, and candidates can go to the city lord's mansion for interviews, the border city is still in its infancy, the development is good, the salary will rise, and there will be a year-end bonus at the end of the year." ”

Everyone held their breath and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word, and when Zhang Mingda finished speaking, he still couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

A moment later, a roar of excitement erupted.

"Oh my God, thirty wen a day? The City Lord's Mansion is too generous! ”

"It's only twenty yuan a day in the Xiao family, and he only eats two meals a day."

"Where can the Xiao family compare to the City Lord's Mansion? I'm going to apply for a job, and I'm going to work for the lord of the city!" ”

"It's good to be literate, fifty wen a day, and being literate is different."

"The key is that it will rise in the future, and there will be bonuses at the end of the year, why only recruit men? Can't we women? ”

……

Of course, Li Changan is not discriminatory, in fact, the City Lord's Mansion is very short of slaves and maids to do chores, but considering his previous bad reputation, if he recruits slaves and maids, he may be misunderstood as a pervert, and the funds of the City Lord's Mansion are too tight, so this matter can only be postponed.

At this time, Zhang Mingda had already broken away from the crowd and went straight to the city lord's mansion, not like an old man at all, his body was very tough, and he walked like a fly.

Fifty wen a day, and three meals a day, what kind of fairy treatment is this?

There's only one place, don't stop me, I have to go and die for the city lord!"

The hall of the Castle Lord's Mansion.

Zhang Mingda saw Li Changan as he wished, and became extremely restrained for a while, and lowered his head worriedly.

As soon as he thought that he had scolded the third prince before, his old face couldn't help but turn red.

Li Changan sat on the chair, looked at Zhang Mingda calmly, and asked with a smile: "What did the old gentleman do before?" ”

Zhang Mingda replied: "The villain has been idle at home for a long time, but he spontaneously taught to the children, and occasionally took on some bookkeeping work to earn some money." ”

Mr. Teaching?

Li Changan couldn't help but have a good impression of Zhang Mingda.

Knowledge is crucial in any era, and it is very rare to be able to take the initiative to teach children literacy, and at the same time, Li Changan can't help but diverge his thinking, the border city is too backward, and there are only a handful of literate people, so that schools must be popularized in the future, so that children can go to school.

He nodded and continued to ask, "How much does the old gentleman know about the border city, can you tell me more about this city?" ”

"Absolutely."

Zhang Mingda's face was solemn, and he said: "The border city is located in the northwestern part of the Great Win Dynasty, with perennial drought, poor soil, and extremely difficult crops to grow, so most of the food needs to be transported from other cities, but the northwest of the city is an endless forest, rich in beasts, ores and treasures, and it is a paradise for explorers, so many people will use the border city as a transit point into the endless forest, and it also attracts a lot of caravans to trade, and some will also enter the border city." ”

He secretly glanced at Li Chang'an, found that he nodded with satisfaction, and immediately felt certain in his heart, and continued: "Among them, the Xiao family, the Wang family, and the Sun family are the largest families in the city, and the shops, wine shops, and inns in the border city are basically opened by these three. ”

In fact, the structure of the border city is very simple, because it is backed by the endless forest, which attracts many explorers to come, and the beast ores and other things obtained in the forest attract caravans from nearby cities to come and trade, plus the border city is short of food, so the caravans will also sell food here.

This forms an industrial chain, but the worst is undoubtedly the civilians of the border city.

They don't have the skills of explorers, they can't grow food, and the price of food here is high, so starvation is the norm.

The Xiao family, the Wang family, and the Sun family......

Li Changan silently remembered these three families, since he became the lord of the city, of course he had to know these heroes in the city, and he wanted to make money...... Can't get around them.

Seeing that Li Changan didn't speak, Zhang Mingda whispered uneasily: "Lord City Lord, I ......"

Li Changan said with a smile: "Congratulations, you passed the interview, wait until you go to Grandpa Hai, if you recognize the right words, you can officially start working." ”

Zhang Mingda immediately knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord City, Lord City Lord is wise!" ”

Waiting for Zhang Mingda to retreat, An Zhaoran walked in from the outside and said complicatedly: "I really don't understand what you're thinking, just forget about the soup kitchen, and recruit people, where do we still have money?" ”

"You wait and see, there will be soon."

Li Changan smiled and sold a pass, he had already determined that the mine was a saltpeter mine, which was enough to make a lot of money this summer.

Originally, he didn't want to recruit people, but soup kitchens need manpower, mining and ore transportation also need manpower, and there are not enough people in the City Lord's Mansion at all, so the second notice was issued.

An Zhaoran wrinkled his nose, "Hmph, I'll see how you end up then!" ”

Li Changan asked, "Have you bought the grain?" ”

At the mention of this incident, An Zhaoran's face suddenly showed a look of indignation, and he slapped the table and said angrily: "I went to the Wang family and the Sun family at the beginning, they knew that we were going to give porridge, and they actually asked for a price all over the sky, not only lowering the price of our things by 30%, but also raising the price of grain by 30%, they just took advantage of the fire to rob, and they were angry with me, this group of profiteers who are rich and unkind!" ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Li Changan's eyes, "They have calculated that we have to buy it, once we don't believe in the civilians, then it will be embarrassing, this matter is not considered by me." ”

If he first released the words, the initiative would be handed over to others, and if he first silently collected the grain and then released the words, this would not be the case.

But the Wang family and the Sun family dared to bully the head of the city lord, and this Liangzi was settled, and Li Changan kept these two families in mind.

He subconsciously patted An Zhaoran's back, "Dissipate your anger, what did you do later?" ”

An Zhaoran ignored Li Changan's small actions and said: "Later, I went to the Xiao family again, and they were much better, not only bought our things at the original price, but also took the initiative to sell the grain to us at a reduced price of 10%, which is considered a rare good rich businessman." ”

The Xiao family?

Li Changan raised his eyebrows and showed a hint of curiosity, this family has vision, is this showing favor to the city lord?
