The soldiers who can enter the white-clothed camp are either the servants and maidservants of the dignitaries in the Iwakura Palace, or the second ancestor, and basically there will be no good stubble.

The soldier was rewarded for flattering Wu Feng, but he was jealous of Deng Sanshi's henchmen, beaten and robbed, and naturally did not want to give up. When he was promoted to squad leader by Wu Feng, he would definitely get this account back.

These people have been exposed to power struggles and know how to use the power in their hands.

When the soldiers who participated in the beating and robbery were retaliated against several times, so that they could not participate in the training while lying in bed for several days, and Wu Feng and Xin were waiting to be deaf and dumb about this, the soldiers of the white-clothed battalion knew the stakes.

The new ruler seems to be very fond of killing with a sword.

People who like to borrow knives to kill people are undoubtedly much more terrible than people who do everything themselves.

A few days later, Wu Feng made an appointment with Song Shannei to inspect the territory together.

At this time, Hong Meng came to ask for an audience.

Wu Feng smiled and said, "Cultivation will be fruitful, won't it be so fast?"

Hong Meng said: "Lord, I have learned something, but it is not enough to satisfy the lord." Today I am introducing a person to the lord. ”

As he spoke, a middle-aged man in a white turban walked in. This person has a high nose and deep eyes, very similar to the fair-skinned people of the West, but like the Easterners, he has black hair and black eyes, and his skin is also yellowish.

Wu Feng read what was said in the book, and knew that the Western Desert race was like this, only in the West Pole region on the western edge of the Western Desert, white-skinned people were truly as white as snow.

Hong Meng introduced Wu Feng and said, "This is Mr. Muhammad Rahim from the two rivers of the Western Desert. ”

"Fortunately, Mr. Rahim. Wu Feng said to Muhammad. Westerners have the surname last and the first name first, and he also knows this.

Muhammad greeted Wu Feng, shook hands, and said, "Fortunately, lord of the East." ”

Hong Meng said: "The lord once instructed to find a competent agricultural technician to guide and teach apple planting. I think apples came from the Western Desert and have not been cultivated in Middle-earth for a long time. If you're looking for an Oriental, I'm afraid it's not professional enough. Mr. Rahim came from the Western Desert, where apples originated, and Mr. Rahim's family has been growing apples for generations. He is quite good at breeding, seed selection, and grafting, and although the asking price is higher, he must be able to satisfy the lord. ”

When Wu Feng heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he said, "Okay! The high asking price is not a problem. Being able to get things done is the key. The most expensive person in this world is by no means the one with the highest salary, but one who does not do things or does not do things well. ”

"Praise you for your wisdom. Praise be to Allah. Muhammad also said happily.

The Western Desert is a place of chaos, much more chaotic than the East, and the mortality rate is extremely high, so men are more and more precocious, often marrying and having children at the age of thirteen or fourteen, to support a family. Hummun also said to Muhammad that their lords were young. But his talent and courage were unusual, so Muhammad was not surprised by Wu Feng's youth.

"Three hundred taels of silver a year, how?" Wu Feng offered.

Muhammad was thinking about how to make an offer, but Wu Feng directly quoted an extremely high price that he had not expected at all.

Of course, he thought he was worth the price, but he didn't expect to get such a high price in such a small place.

In Middle-earth, three taels of silver is enough for a commoner to live for a whole year, one tael of silver is equivalent to one stone of rice, and three hundred taels of silver is equivalent to tens of thousands of catties of rice.

This salary is really much higher than the salaries of Hong Meng and Qin Yu.

Wu Feng said to Hong Meng again: "Don't panic. As long as you make a contribution, your salary will also rise. If you just catch a few strong men and collect taxes, of course, the salary is only that little according to the norm, but if you do things well. If the people's lives are improved, we will receive more money and food, and you will naturally get more returns. ”

"Thank you......" Muhammad began.

Wu Feng smiled: "Mr. Rahim doesn't need to be in a hurry to thank me. The three hundred taels of silver will not be settled until the end of your year's work, and you can currently pay for your basic living expenses, and we will take care of the food and lodging problems. If your work exceeds my expectations, then in addition to the salary. There's also a bonus, but if the job doesn't satisfy me, you'll be fired before the end of the year, and you won't get any pay. ”

Muhammad's expression became serious and he said, "Please trust my lordship in my abilities." ”

Wu Feng said: "No problem, let it go, my subordinates will assist you in your work." I heard that your teachings are similar to those of the Western Arctic Cross Religion, but they are in opposition to each other, and they don't eat pork, is that true?"

Muhammad nodded: "Yes, although I have come to the East, I wish to respect my religious practices. ”

"No problem. Wu Feng said to Hong Meng: "Let the person in charge of the diet pay attention to this, and supply Mr. Rahim with beef and mutton, and the lard is not allowed." Mr. Rahim probably didn't like to see people eat pork either, so the meals were delivered to his house. ”

Although he wants to attack Westerners in the future and regain those fertile lands, Wu Feng also attaches great importance to the strengths of the West and has a spirit of inclusiveness towards Western culture.

Wu Feng took out an antique vase from the space bag and said to Hong Meng: "Although I don't know what Mr. Rahim can achieve, but you can think of hiring a Western technician, which is commendable." I reward you with this vase as a reward for your efforts. ”

Although Hong Meng didn't know the goods, when he saw that this vase was smooth and exquisite, he knew that it was worth a lot of money, and he couldn't help but thank him.

For subordinates, rewarding famous things not only means a monetary reward, but also means that superiors value their subordinates.

After a few more conversations, Wu Feng asked, "What does Mr. Rahim think of Scurry, the hero of the Western Desert?"

Speaking of Scurry, Muhammad suddenly showed a sad and angry expression: "That man...... It's hateful, it's terrible. I cursed him, but I knew that my curse would not be able to exert its power. ”

Wu Feng knew in his heart that the reason why Muhammad came to the East must be related to Scurry's expansion.

"The army of that old dog destroyed my home and killed my relatives. His army was in the name of charity, but they were keen to kill and plunder. Muhammad said.

At this time, Hong Meng said: "It's a common hypocrite in troubled times, no, it's not even a hypocrite." What is it called, hey, don't be afraid. ”

Wu Feng didn't speak, and based on the legends he had heard, he knew that Scurry would never be so simple.

But Muhammad said: "The tribes of the Turki League are barbaric nomads, who, although they also profess our doctrine in name, but only for the sake of expansion, and who really worship their god, the Immortals, and who kill us devout believers without mercy." However, the terrible thing about that old dog is that although he is hypocritical, he can bring civilization to his people with hypocrisy. When I was taken captive, and along with a group of other captives, he heard that I was a well-known agricultural technician in the area, and he untied me and received me, hoping that I would work for him. When I flatly refused and asked to die, he said he didn't want to kill a good technical talent, and then let me go. ”

"What a show. Song Shanuchi on the side commented.

"It's not easy for a nomadic leader to be able to attach so much importance to technology. Wu Feng said.

Not only that, but he also stipulated that every family in each tribe should have a child to attend a public school, and if there were no boys, girls could be sent. Muhammad was also a man of insight and knew what foresight this meant, although he did not understand the promotion of women in his belief in the inferiority of men.

Wu Feng immediately made a judgment in his heart: this person is a hundred and ten times more terrifying than those fierce and brutal Hu leaders during the Wuhu Rebellion.

Not every powerful nomadic leader qualifies as a conqueror, many more are just saboteurs.

The cook in the territory delivered the meal, and taking into account Muhammad's habits, there was nothing related to pigs.

After eating, Muhammad departed, and Wu Feng and Song Shannei ascended to a high post in the territory.

"You seem to have a crush on that Scurry. Song Shannei said with a smile: "The kind of top heroes who are second to none in the West are not something we should consider." ”

Although Song Shannei is smart, after all, he can't understand Wu Feng's ambition yet.

Wu Feng casually perfunctory a few words and said: "The reform measures we discussed before were all in agriculture. There are still one or two towns in my territory, shouldn't I think about some crafts?"

Song Shannei thought for a moment and said, "The hilly area lacks deep metal veins, but the soil is suitable for firing utensils......

Wu Feng's eyes couldn't help but light up, and then said: "But if you fire ceramics, there is no meaning, the ceramic market is monopolized by the world's famous kilns, ordinary bowls, profits are really limited, and it is not easy to open up sales." ”

Song Shanuchi asked, "What about glass? It is also something that came from the West." ”

Wu Feng clapped his hands fiercely: "Good idea! Glass has not been around for a long time, but it has become popular in the rich room, and it is the time when scarcity is expensive, so it should be produced first, and when it is all over the place, it will be worthless." ”

He said again: "Yamauchi, you have helped me so much, why don't I assign a village to you, so that you can also taste what it is like to be a lord?"

Song Shannei shook his head and said, "You know, my mind is not in this rock warehouse. ”

Song Shanuchi thought that he would eventually leave Iwakura in the future, and there was no point in owning the territory. He is an egoistic person, and if he wants to lose his territory in the future, it is better not to spend his energy on it.

Wu Feng is different from him, even if he can't keep these territories in the future, if what he does now can improve people's livelihood, he will enjoy it. (To be continued.) )
