Chapter 023: Development Forces
Soon, the meal was ready.
Although there are big fish and meat, and there are green and healthy vegetables, there are no particularly precious dishes.
Long Junjiu beckoned everyone to eat together, and the great elder of the Zhou family did not dare to refuse, after all, now the lives of all the people in their Zhou family were in the hands of the other party.
After a while, Lu Lao walked in from outside the living room, and said with a slightly respectful expression: "Lord Wang, Lord Taishou is here." ”
Long Junjiu nodded, waved his hand and said, "Well, let him in." ”
Hearing this, the great elder of the Zhou family was slightly stunned, Jiangcheng County was too guarded? What did he come to do?
Soon, Jiangcheng County Taishou Ma Sanbao entered the living room, with a flattering smile on his face, and shouted to Long Junjiu: "The minister greets the prince." ”
"Here, sit down."
Long Junjiu nodded lightly and stretched out his hand to signal.
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
Ma Sanbao was then seated.
Seeing this scene, the great elder of the Zhou family was a little surprised, and guessed in his heart why Ma Sanbao would be so respectful to Long Junjiu, they had lived together in Jiangcheng County for decades, he still knew Ma Sanbao, the other party was a scheming old fox, don't look at the surface to everyone is kind, in fact, the means are very yin, and the power of the Taishou Mansion is definitely not inferior to any of their seven families.
As soon as he thought of this, the Great Elder of the Zhou Family immediately said tentatively: "Why is Matthew Shou here? ”
Seeing this, without waiting for Ma Sanbao to speak, Long Junjiu explained lightly: "Ma Taishou and your Zhou family have the same reason, they are both their own people. ”
Hearing this, the great elder of the Zhou family was shocked, and turned his head to look at the Taishou of Jiangcheng County, only to see a bitter and embarrassed smile on the other party's face, he didn't expect that Long Junjiu had already controlled the Taishou Mansion, could it be because of the changes in the Taishou Mansion a few days ago?
"There are no outsiders here, and the king knows very well that you have a grudge against him in your heart."
Long Jun Jiu said expressionlessly.
"Don't dare."
The faces of the two changed slightly.
"It doesn't matter, this king's measure of his own people is still very large, you can't trust this king, and this king can't trust you either, but as long as you are honest and do your duty for this king, this king can't treat you badly, to be honest, if it weren't for this king's first arrival in Jiangcheng County, there are no people under him, I'm afraid you won't be sitting in front of this king now."
Long Junjiu said very frankly.
Hearing this, a layer of fine sweat couldn't help but appear on their foreheads, and their faces were nervous.
"Don't be nervous, I also said in the previous sentence, as long as you are honest and do your duty for the king, the king will not be able to treat you badly, as for what you have done before, the king can also be blamed in the past, but not as an example."
With that, Long Junjiu took out two small porcelain bottles and put them on the table.
Seeing the familiar small porcelain vase, Ma Sanbao's eyes suddenly became hot and salivating, it was... A rare elixir that can directly improve one's cultivation?!
"This thing is called Xiao Pei Ling Pill, one can improve cultivation for five years, and everyone can take it up to ten times, presumably Lord Taishou has clearly and profoundly experienced its effect, right?"
Long Junjiu turned his head to look at Ma Sanbao and smiled faintly.
Ma Sanbao nodded, and replied in a sincere tone: "This thing is indeed magical, and this elixir must be an incomparably precious thing." ”
"One can improve your cultivation for five years?"
Hearing this, the Great Elder of the Zhou Family was stunned, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the two small porcelain vases.
"There are five small Peiling pills in each bottle, which should be a gift from the king to the two of them, there was a little unpleasant friction before, let it pass in the past."
As he spoke, Long Junjiu urged his spiritual power to send the two small porcelain vases to the Taishou of Jiangcheng County and the Great Elder of the Zhou Family respectively, and said lightly.
Suddenly, the Zhou family elder's breathing became a little shorter, and he thought: Five? One is five years of cultivation, and five is not equivalent to twenty-five years of cultivation?! With these elixirs, I may be able to try to storm the Grandmaster Realm and secure the position of the head of the family.
Today's Zhou family has been baptized by Long Junjiu and others, the ancestor of the Zhou family and the former head of the family have fallen, and the rest of the powerful masters have also fled, scattered, and the overall strength is not as good as before.
If a Grandmaster Realm powerhouse can be born at this moment, although it is useless, it can at least make everyone in the Zhou family feel at ease.
"Thank you for the treasure, the Zhou family is willing to saddle the horse for the prince, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not give up."
The Great Elder of the Zhou Family stood up and said respectfully.
"I don't want to listen to any flattery, what I want is your actions, this kind of thing is more than this king, as long as you follow me to work hard, the future achievements are not limited to this, I said, I am very generous to my own people, with my mouthful of meat to eat, you are indispensable to drink a mouthful of soup, okay, sit down."
Long Junjiu said nonchaltly:
"I want the information of the six major families, what they have done, what bad things they have done, what connections and backgrounds they have, and the current strength, the more detailed the better, how long will it take for me to sort it out?"
Long Junjiu's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop and asked nonchalantly.
Ma Sanbao and the Great Elder of the Zhou Family were slightly shocked, the other party couldn't wait to do something to the other six families?
"This matter is easy, the minister will sort out the information and send it to the Jiangwang Mansion when he goes back, and it will be enough in one day."
"With Ma Taishou, the information will be delivered to the prince tomorrow, please rest assured."
"Well, that couldn't be better."
Long Junjiu showed a gentle smile, then stretched out his hand and said:
"Let's eat, everyone, and the food will be cold if you talk about it, hehe."
……
After sending away the Great Elder of the Zhou Family and Ma Taishou, Long Junjiu turned his head to look at Lu Lao, and said lightly: "Lu Lao, set up a big drum at the gate of Jiangwang Mansion, and a mailbox, so that people can release news in Jiangcheng County. ”
"Yes, lord."
"In addition, I plan to recruit a group of private soldiers and horses, the number of tentative 1,000 people, and then slowly develop, the treatment of the family allowance is five taels of silver per person, exempt from the family of one person to conscription, military salary of two taels of silver per month, or the equivalent of food for distribution, if the accidental death in battle, the pension will be issued to his family, if the family has children and the elderly no one to support, then the Jiang Wangfu is responsible for raising the children to adulthood, supporting the elderly into the soil for peace, if the family has a person who can not take care of himself, and there is no one else around to take care of him, he is not allowed to join, Whoever dares to deceive and not report shall have twenty rods. ”
"Two taels of silver a month? Lord, will you give too much? Putting aside the issue of settling-in allowance and pension for the time being, the ordinary soldiers of the Jiangcheng County Government are only worth half a tael of silver a month. ”
Hearing this, Lu Lao thought that Long Junjiu was not able to do this, so he couldn't help but remind.
"If you don't feed people and solve their worries, how can you expect them to be willing to die for you? This king wants a well-disciplined elite army, not a plate of loose sand that tries to eat and wait for death, and besides, the king's money is not so easy to take, and if you enjoy the treatment given by this king, then you must abide by the rules of this king. ”
"The prince is wise, the old slave understands."
