Chapter 449 Token, County Order
Chen Xianling took a sip of the teacup, but his face became more serious than ever.
He glanced at Yang Dong deeply, and slowly spoke:
"The two distinguished guests seem to have come prepared, and since this is the case, the official will not hide it. To tell the truth, these so-called thieves are from our Xiongxian County. ”
Speaking of this, he sighed deeply, his eyes no longer looked at Yang Dong, but stared at the teacup in his hand a little distracted.
After a moment, he continued:
"When the Great Zhou Dynasty was first founded, our Xiongxian County was a military location. The attention of the previous emperors to Xiongxian County made it once a small capital in the north. ”
But later, with the recovery of Youzhou and Pingzhou, the location of Xiongxian County became more and more insignificant. But there were a lot of soldiers here, and these soldiers gave birth to children in Xiongxian County and have multiplied to this day. ”
"I don't know when it began, the population of Xiongxian County is too big to fall, and it has become a heart disease of His Majesty in the capital. As a result, a large number of young people from Xiongxian County were recruited to serve as pioneers in various armies. ”
"What the pioneer represents, I think the two distinguished guests should understand."
Yang Dong thought so deeply and bowed slightly.
"Indeed, I think that the sparse young population in Xiongxian County today is due to this."
At this moment, Chen Xianling seemed to have fallen into memories, he ignored Yang Dong's words, and continued his statement.
"Our Xiongxian County is bitter, we shed blood and tears for the Great Zhou back then, but in the end, we still suffered from the fear of the capital. Nowadays, there are more and more desperate households in this Xiongxian County, alas, ......"
Chen Xianling sighed again, and then he seemed to come back to his senses, patted his head lightly and said:
"Let the two distinguished guests laugh, the official is old, and he always likes to talk nonsense. To tell you the truth, if you want to do a warehousing business, you need to talk to those bandits. ”
"Actually...... They are also miserable people. If the two of them can share some profits, the official can make a guarantee from it. ”
Hearing this, a strange look flashed on Shu Mouse's cheeks.
Among the few people present, only he knew in his heart that Yang Dong was planning to transfer a brave army over.
In front of those terrifying firecrackers, these so-called bandits are not worth mentioning at all.
It's just that now it seems that Yang Gong has other plans...... Could it be that his old man has fallen in love with that Liu Sanniang? If so......
I have to say that Yang Gong's insight is indeed not something that a shallow person like me can understand.
This mature woman really has a different flavor......
No, I have to find a chance tonight to go to the Qinglou in Xiongxian County......
"Profit sharing is a small thing."
At this moment, Yang Dong spoke.
His expression was still flat, but there was a bit of confidence in it.
"To tell you the truth, my son is not short of money!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Xianling and Liu Sanniang's eyes lit up slightly.
After so many years, it is not easy to find a wronged leader!
"But...... My son doesn't like partnerships. ”
Yang Dong said, taking out a handful of silver tickets from his arms.
The moment she saw the silver ticket, Liu Sanniang's eyes straightened.
When she looked at Yang Dong again, her eyes even became moist.
Not to mention being handsome, the key is to be so rich.
Such a rich boy is really a good match! Even if you can't be in the main palace, you can be a concubine, at least for the rest of your life, you won't have to worry about food and clothing.
Thinking of this, Liu Sanniang took the initiative to pour wine for Yang Dong.
"Childe, is it still good to taste this wine? This is made by the slave family! ”
Yang Dong picked up the wine glass and drank it all, but his eyes stayed on Chen Xianling's body, and he said word by word:
"If they can be used by me with peace of mind, not to mention a lifetime of glory and wealth, but they can also have no worries about food and clothing. But I have a premise, and that is to prohibit it. ”
When Chen Xianling heard this, his expression was happy at first, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he frowned slightly.
This time, he was silent for a long time, until the hot tea in the cup became warm, and then he stared at Yang Dong and said seriously:
"This son, it is the rule in the army to prohibit it. Could it be ...... Are you in the military? ”
Yang Dong shook his head lightly and said:
"Chen Xianling misunderstood, what this son wants is not an army, of course, you can also understand it as an army. But...... I prefer to call them mercenaries. ”
"Mercenaries?"
When Chen Xianling heard this, his frowning brows became deeper and deeper.
As the name suggests, he already has a rough idea of what mercenary means.
But because of this, he hesitated. Because this kind of thing is not handled well, it may offend the emperor.
After all, Xiongxian County is still under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou Emperor, if this matter reaches the ears of the Great Zhou Emperor, it will be a rebellion, not to mention the killing of the head, maybe the nine clans will be punished!
Thinking of this, Chen Xianling shook his head with a wry smile.
"The matter...... I'm afraid this official can't call the shots. If this mercenary is known to His Majesty, I am afraid that he will punish the Nine Clans. ”
"And what if you add that?"
Yang Dong said, slowly took out a token from his pocket and put it in front of Chen Xianling.
Chen Xianling just glanced at it, and his face turned extremely pale in an instant.
He jumped up from the table almost subconsciously, and then knelt respectfully in the direction of the token.
"Xiaguan Chen Yu, I have seen the envoy."
"Get up, Chen Xianling doesn't have to be so panicked."
Yang Dong's tone was still flat, but his blandness added a bit of detachment to him.
At the same time, the children in the other corner of the canteen immediately exclaimed one by one when they saw Chen Xianling kneeling.
"Look, Chen Xianling actually knelt down towards a sign, you say, what is the origin of this little brother from the capital?"
"If you want me to say, he must be a great big man!"
"You're not talking nonsense, everyone can see it! But Erxiong, your Liu Sanniang, I'm afraid I'm going to change my mind~"
"Have you noticed, Sanniang's eyes began to draw when she looked at that little brother......"
"Alas~ It would be nice if people were as big as Sanniang, but it's still too small, I'm afraid my little brother won't like it!"
"Oops! Not necessarily! One by one, don't you want to leave Xiongxian County? ”
As soon as these words came out, the children's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Perhaps, this little brother is our chance to leave Xiongxian County!"
"Brothers and sisters, cross him!"
"Or ...... How about we just tie him up? If Sanniang is stunned and sent to bed again, he must be grateful to us. Maybe when you go back to Beijing, you'll take us all with you! ”
A group of children gathered together and chattered, looking in the direction of Yang Dong and Liu Sanniang from time to time, whispering.
Yang Dong naturally didn't know about the children's plans.
He stared at Chen Xianling at the moment, and asked again:
"What, does the prefectural magistrate have any other concerns?"
