Chapter 35: Holy Order
Chu Hao waited in the wind and rain building for five days, and the chief steward finally arranged to meet with the lord of the mansion, and the location was set in the Yuhua Pavilion in the city, which is the largest restaurant in Taihang County, with elegant architecture, luxury and nobility, and extraordinary style.
The steward took Chu Hao into the Yuhua Pavilion, and the steward said, "My lord, the lord of the mansion has arrived, shall we go in?"
Under the leadership of the steward, Chu Hao and Li Jun came to the room on the third floor. The room was very large, at least 100 meters above, and the interior was extremely luxurious, leaning against the window, there was a somewhat obese middle-aged man.
The steward stepped forward and bowed, "Lord of the House, this is our ancestor's personal disciple Chu Hao." The steward pointed to Chu Hao and introduced.
The mansion master got up and looked at Chu Hao's age, and smiled secretly in his heart, at such a young age, what can he do to find himself, could it be that the ancestor of the Xuanwu Sect has something to find himself?
The two saluted each other and introduced each other's names, the head of the mansion was called Kang Dingkun, an officer in the army of the Xuanwu Kingdom, and he was a captain of 10,000 people in the army.
The steward was very interested, and after introducing each other, he left the room directly.
Li Jun smiled with a smile on his face, and said in front of the mountain: "In Xia Li Jun, my father is the head of the Li family in the royal capital, and today I will meet the head of the house with my brother." ā
After the lord of the mansion heard the Li family in the royal capital, his face was immediately happy, although the Li family in the royal capital was not an official in the court, but the business was very large, and in the kingdom of Dayu, it also belonged to the top three rich families.
The three of them sat down with each other, ate a simple bite of food at the wine table, toasted each other a few glasses of wine, and chatted with each other.
Chu Hao is not a person who beats around the bush, looking at the ripe time, he said: "Mansion master, I won't tell you, I have something to discuss with you today." I came out to experience this time, and I went to the family first. The family is in Taishan Town, and I heard that something happened to the mayor of the town some time ago, so I want to discuss with the lord of the mansion whether I can give the position of mayor to the Chu family. ā
After Chu Hao finished speaking, he glanced at Li Jun, Li Jun took out a gold coin card, handed it to the mansion master, and said: "Mansion master, here is 100,000 gold coins, I hope the mansion master will laugh and accept it, don't dislike it, I believe that the mansion master can give the town mayor position to the Chu family, this little thing should be very simple for the mansion master, right?"
The mansion lord looked at Chu Hao's expression, then at Li Jun, and then at the gold coin card, thinking about the situation in front of him. The identity of the other party, one is the apprentice of the ancestor of the Xuanwu Sect, and the other is the heir of the Li family in the royal capital, although he is not afraid of them, but the other party is not easy to mess with, and the other party also gave 100,000 gold coins very politely, just a town mayor, in the entire Taihang County, there are at least dozens of town mayors.
The lord of the mansion smiled and put away the gold coin card, smiled, and said: "Brother Chu and Brother Li Jun, I agreed to the matter of the mayor, but the Dayu Kingdom has rules, and the mayor needs Xuanling primary to be the candidate, so the only requirement for the Chu brothers must be Xuanling primary, otherwise I will not be able to deal with it!"
Chu Hao said: "Rest assured, the mansion master, he is definitely the primary level of Xuanling, and he is the uncle of my family, although you can rest assured of this, and in the future, the benefits of the mansion master are indispensable." ā
The lord of the mansion smiled and said, "That's good, that's good, as long as the cultivation is achieved, it's easy to say, and it also saves me from sending someone to manage it alone, isn't this the best of both worlds?" The three of them smiled at each other at the wine table.
The three of them were in the room one after another, eating and drinking, and the three of them achieved their goals one after another, and their mood was also a lot more relaxed.
The lord of the mansion said: "Brother Chu, I don't know if the mayor of the town has been selected, if it arrives, go to the county government early tomorrow morning to go through the formalities, and then you can take office, I hope that the Chu brothers family can manage Taishan Town well." ā
Chu Hao got up and promised: "The mansion master can rest assured, Taishan Town will be handed over to my Chu family, you can rest assured, every three years in the future, I will ask someone to send the corresponding remuneration, and I will definitely not treat the mansion master badly." ā
Hearing Chu Hao's words, the mansion lord's heart blossomed, and there would be such a reward in the future, he was shocked by the wealth of the Chu family in his heart, and admired Chu Hao in front of him, not only his status was noble, but the family wealth was quite rich, and the future of such a family was absolutely bright.
The mansion lord said: "You're kind Brother Chu, everyone takes care of each other, I am very happy to get to know you, if there is something in Taihang County, I hope Brother Chu can help." ā
When the three of them were chatting and drinking, a powerful aura fluctuated, spreading from the wind and rain building to the surroundings, and the aura wanted to be very strong, layer by layer, impacting the Taihang County City, the area was very large, and the radiation area was at least more than ten miles.
The three of them who were eating felt the aura fluctuation at the same time, and the three of them sensed the location, Chu Hao and Li Jun were happy in their hearts, and sighed, Haishan finally broke through, once he successfully broke through, he would be his own guard, and the safety of his family would be guaranteed in the future.
The mansion lord frowned, looked at the direction of the wind and rain building, turned around and hurriedly said: "Two brothers, there are masters here in the city, I need to pay a visit, look at the intensity of the aura fluctuations, it is definitely a figure above the honorable level, such a character appears in the city, if I, the lord of the mansion, do not ask to see, I am afraid that the seniors will blame it." ā
Chu Hao stretched out his hand to stop the mansion master, and said, "The mansion master doesn't need to go, I know who this person is, I hope the mansion master can keep it secret, he will not be unfavorable to you, and he will not embarrass the mansion master." ā
Hearing Chu Hao's words, the mansion lord was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Brother Chu knows this person, can you introduce it to me, there is such a strong person in Taihang County, and I, the mansion master, don't even know it, isn't it a joke?"
Chu Hao couldn't say it clearly, but Li Jun wanted to give this mansion master a dismissal, and then the mansion master's words: "Mansion master, it's good to know at this time, it's not easy to publicize." The person who broke through is my brother's family, and I also tell you, the breakthrough is not the honorable level but the holy domain, this strong man is dedicated to protecting my brother, for today's matter, I also hope that the mansion master can keep it secret, once it leaks out, the mansion master should be able to think of the consequences, don't you need me to remind you?"
The mansion lord trembled with fright, and stumbled at Li Jun and asked, "Holy level? Or a member of the Chu family?" The cold sweat on the mansion lord's head came down, he looked at Chu Hao coldly, stretched out his hand and took out the gold coin card, and said: "I don't dare to accept Brother Chu's gift, and I will need Brother Chu Hao to take care of it in the future." ā
Chu Hao hurriedly explained: "Mansion master, after all, we are the identity of the people, although you take this money, if the mansion master has something, even if he commands, if he can help, I will definitely not shirk." Now that is over, we will not mention it, and we will continue to drink. ā
The lord of the mansion sat on the stool, holding a wine glass, thinking about the affairs of the Chu family, a saint-level powerhouse, not to mention being the mayor of the town, it is estimated that there is no problem in being the emperor in the kingdom, and so far, I have not heard of it, there are saint-level powerhouses in the kingdom of Dayu, once it is made public at this time, the king will invite this strong man, as the worship of the kingdom, the status is transcendent, even if he kills himself, the king will not say anything.
After thinking about it, the mansion master finally sat down and made a decision, a little embarrassed, and said, "Brother Chu Hao, can you agree to my request?"
Chu Hao stretched out his hand and said, "Can you please speak?" The mansion lord stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his head, and said: "Since Brother Chu Hao wants to call his family to be the mayor of the town, I will propose a building, do you see if it is feasible? Your mayor can continue to do it, but you have to add another identity, I can't be the master of the position of the lord of the mansion, I need to report to the king for approval, but this deputy lord of the mansion, I can still decide, and then I can report to the right minister for the case." This deputy lord of the mansion manages the towns around Taishan Town on my behalf, on the west, south and north sides of Taishan Town, there are about five towns, so please trouble Brother Chu Hao to work hard and take me to manage it. The economy over there is not good, the annual tax is very low, and even the local officials' salaries are not enough, so this burden, please ask Brother Chu Hao to help me bear it!"
Thinking about the words of the mansion master, the mayor over there is indeed very poor, but it is not enough for the officials, this is the mansion master's order to curry favor with the Chu family, and it just so happens that several mayors over there are close to the abyss ghost prison, which can be regarded as a good choice.
Chu Hao said: "It's okay, then thank you to the mansion lord, but I don't understand one thing the mansion master, how many people can the army source of these towns add up? ā
The lord of the mansion immediately replied: "According to the rules of the kingdom, a town can be set up, and the establishment of two hundred soldiers can be used as a guard for the town, but the border town can increase the number of people by one hundred, and the number of guards in the family can be without any requirements, as long as the family can support it." ā
Chu Hao said: "Mansion master, there are five towns around, plus Taishan Town, there are six towns, the soldiers guarding the city can reach 1,800 people, the area of the six towns, it is estimated that there is a distance of 200 miles, this 1,800 people is really not much, in addition, the equipment of these soldiers, is it provided by the county government or is my Chu family responsible?"
The mansion lord shook his head and said: "Brother Chu Hao, I will build yƬ you, the original veterans, don't care about them, just give them a few gold coins every year, you can recruit 1,800 new recruits, so that it will be easier to use, and the equipment can be equipped by yourself with the money of the Chu family, so that you can completely obey the orders of the Chu family, and you can completely avoid the control of the kingdom." If the county government is asked to pay, the soldiers will be controlled by the county government, which is a little unfair to the Chu family. ā
The three of them talked for a long time in the restaurant, and the lord of the mansion respected the Chu family very much, because Chu Hao was guarded by a super strong man, the Chu family was powerful, and he couldn't afford to provoke the Chu family at all.
What made the mansion lord happy was that Chu Hao promised not to disclose the fact that the Chu family had a strong person, and if the county government had something, the Chu family would come forward to help solve it.
The lord of the mansion also promised Chu Hao to give the Chu family an absolute status, and in the entire county government, as long as the Chu family has something, the county government will definitely support and assist.
