"Because there are a large number of people, and each has its own specialty, according to the characteristics of the three types of guards, hidden guards, and secret guards, but unfortunately although there are many female martial arts practitioners, there are not many suitable ones, so up to now, more than 300,000 people, I have only selected 6,000 of them, but the son can rest assured, and the slaves and maids will reduce the number of people after settling down!"

"Your idea is good, just continue to recruit, there is no hurry to reduce the number of people, if it is really good, it doesn't hurt to stay, you can tell me what these three are for first!"

"The number of guards is mainly used to attack and kill, the hidden guards are responsible for assassination, and the remaining secret guards are the source of these data, their main task is to monitor whether there is any abnormal or improper place, if there is a problem, they have the right to report directly, after all, there are not enough officials to manage it now, and the slaves and maids can only make this decision!"

"It's not a good idea!" Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled: "Since you are good at this, then this matter will be left to you to handle, how did you select these three candidates?"

After listening to Xiao Zheng's words, the two of them were still very happy, and turned to respectfully said: "The guards and hidden guards are all selected candidates with extremely high strength, the strongest has reached the level of slaves and maids, and they are only one line away from the realm of grandmasters, and the selection of secret guards is more extensive, but they are more cautious, and they take the longest time, all of them are reliable people who have no relatives, among which the martial artist is preferred!"

"It seems that you have a lot of experience doing this, is that what you did in the past?" Xiao Zheng was very satisfied, but he was still a little puzzled

"No, but the two of us are actually imitating the duties of the secret sentinels and the internal guards and the janissaries in the army, but the selection is still far inferior to the elite of the dark sentinels, internal guards and janissaries, but the slave thinks that they will be able to surpass them in time!"

Qing'er Yu'er swore an oath just to let Xiao Zheng make up his mind, in fact, Xiao Zheng would definitely not refuse, although Xiao Zheng didn't think about it, it doesn't mean that Xiao Zheng doesn't know the strength of this institution: "I believe, but I can now give you a right to recruit, the number of guards and hidden guards can be increased to five thousand, but this number has basically been set and will not change, originally I didn't want to have too many people, but after listening to your idea, I can only change my plan."

"The slave is at fault, please forgive me!"

"These five thousand people are not too much, and you understand, too many are useless, and five thousand people are already a lot, although they are only five hundred each, but just like the secret whistle you know, the essence is not much more expensive!" Xiao Zheng emphasized the role of elite soldiers twice in total, which shows that it is impossible for Qiongdao in the future to have many military-like things, and the guards of these 5,000 people plus hidden guards are actually half of the guards on the surface, and as a marquis, Xiao Zheng can have 10,000 guards, and it is normal for the hidden guards in the shadows to be discovered, so Xiao Zheng simply counted the hidden guards into it

"What about the Dark Guard?"

"There are no limits to the Dark Guards, but they can never be in the open, you know?" Xiao Zheng looked at Qing'er, as Xiao Zheng expected, Qing'er quickly understood what Xiao Zheng meant, this Qing'er is really a talent who is a spy!

"The slave understands"

"It's good to understand, but you have to remember that although there is no limit, you must focus on safety, and you must not leak any information, once it is leaked, you know the consequences!"

Xiao Zheng's tone turned cold, and there was a faint sense of deterrence in this tone, Qing'er Yu'er had seen a lot of this kind of thing, but she still felt the strong sense of oppression in Xiao Zheng's momentum, and it was obvious that Xiao Zheng concentrated his momentum on the two of them!

"Never leak!"

"Well, you go down and tell them that I already know about them, and I can do the rest by myself, and I will tell you if there is anything!"

"Then the slave will retire first!"

The two of them retreated, and at this time, Bing'er and a few people looked at Xiao Zheng and asked what Xiao Zheng said just now, and the people who didn't know much about guarding or anything, only knew that Xiao Zheng seemed to need some defensive strength now, as for those minotaur Han Ling'er hadn't been trained yet, so naturally they couldn't use it, and a few people weren't very interested in these things, so they put it down for the time being after asking, and soon after Qing'er Yu'er left, Guan Hai also sent someone to say hello to Xiao Zheng, after all, now Xiao Zheng's title is in his body, and he can be regarded as a concubine. Guan Hai wants to show the necessary respect

"Where are we going now?"

"Well, I think it's good to watch here for a while, where else are you going?" Han Ling'er rarely didn't want to run around, but now Bing'er and Wan'er felt very bored, as for the two ghost clans and dark elves, it didn't matter, they were all wrapped in black, and there was even a faint coolness when standing beside these three people, especially the autumn breeze, there was a faint breeze blowing in it, which was a special feature of some tribes of the elf clan, maybe the autumn breeze was a member of the Yin Wind tribe in the past

"Let's go to the port, we just saw it on the ship, we haven't seen it yet!" Xiao Zheng pondered slightly, and then said, in fact, Xiao Zheng just wants to see how the current progress is, if this port is built, the benefits to Qiongdao are immeasurable, and this scale is obviously much larger than that military port!

"Okay! We can still take a boat, but I don't know if there is a boat, and we are just catching some fish at sea these days!"

"That's a good idea!" Shangguan Wan'er also squinted, obviously agreeing with this suggestion!

Seeing that everyone agreed, Bing'er had no other objections, and then everyone walked to the courtyard in the distance, also because most of the craftsmen were building the port, for convenience, this courtyard was not far from the port near Beishan, and it was inevitable that Xiao Zheng and others would pass by

It was not Xiao Zheng who borrowed the boat this time, after all, Xiao Zheng already had a lot of people who knew him, and it would be bad if he was recognized, so it was Bing'er with a veil who borrowed the boat

It's not easy to borrow a boat, and because Bing'er is good-looking and left ten taels of silver to borrow, ten taels of silver is not much, but what ordinary people care about is not money, but the practicality of the boat, maybe the ship can't use ten taels of silver, but in their minds it is enough to be worth a gold, but the people who really want a gold will not make a living from fishing!

"Whew, this thing is really hard to borrow!" Bing'er, who successfully borrowed the boat, patted her chest, her forehead was slightly sweaty, obviously she had just borrowed something and tired Miss Bing'er, but when she thought about it, when Xiao Zheng went to borrow it, she also resigned for a long time because of Xiao Zheng's identity before she got out, but this time it was because she didn't believe it

"After all, it's borrowed, let's go!" Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, it was expected to encounter this kind of trouble, and it didn't hurt to let Bing'er feel it

Xiao Zheng brought a hat in advance, and the group basically did not show their true faces except for Han Ling'er, the owner of the fishing boat saw this scene and decisively regarded Han Ling'er as the real gold owner, and ignored all the other people when he spoke or something, Han Ling'er did not have the slightest intention of refusing, and he was very happy to say it in an orderly manner, Xiao Zheng touched his nose and could only wait quietly for Han Ling'er to communicate with the boatman

Bing'er was dumbfounded, and her voice sounded in Xiao Zheng's mind: "If I knew earlier, let Ling'er say it!"

"I didn't expect Bing'er to be so fond of saying it, if I encounter this kind of thing in the future, I will definitely let Ling'er do it, and Ling'er won't refuse if I think about it!"

Just as the two were talking, Han Ling'er also finished talking to the boatman, and beckoned the people to get on this small boat, but this time there was no need for Xiao Zheng to use internal force to push it, there were ghost eyebrows and ghost spirits on the boat, and everyone just enjoyed the scenery

"Ling'er, what did you say to that boatman just now?"

"I said what good things are in this sea, and then borrowed two fishing rods by the way, I remember that the last time I fished was on the Yellow River, this time I fished for sea fish, haha! When we go back in a while, we can ask the boatman to help make fish soup!"

"Uh, did you just say that?" Bing'er looked at Ling'er with some curiosity

"That's all! What else?"

"Well, it's nothing, I just think Ling'er, you are so powerful, no matter who you talk to, you can go together, but in the market or the market, and then to the slave trader and this fisherman"

"Hee-hee, how can there be!" Han Ling'er said happily, anyone can see that Han Ling'er is in a good mood at this moment

It seems that Han Linger's character is like this, she loves to talk, loves to play, and seems to like to cause trouble everywhere, don't say anything about causing trouble, in Han Linger also has the same nature as fun, who makes people have a strong father? !

The rowing is relatively slow, and Xiao Zheng's kind of internal force makes the boat incomparable to the artistic conception of a few women, and Xiao Zheng can only be controlled by a few people

The port is similar to the prototype seen before, and now it is just a simple T-shape, and it may take several months to take shape, but from a distance on the military ship, it is clearly seen that it is different from the small boat, this T-shaped port still has a certain carrying capacity, and the current construction method is no different from what Qin Wanru said at the beginning, it is built along those shallow reefs, and more boulders and giant bamboo baskets made of wood and rattan are put into large stones to expand the area around the reef, so as to expand some places, These places will either be used as temporary warehouses, or some resting and defensive facilities will be built!

Glancing around, excluding those fixed facilities are the scattered stone platforms that have been reinforced around, according to Qin Wanru's original meaning, these towers that are ready to be built echo the defense facilities on the north mountain, but (to be continued. )
