Early the next morning.

Yang Qing held his cheeks, lying on the desk, looking at the empty and dirty yamen hall, sighing and sighing, his eyes full of melancholy.

"Did Lord Yang sleep last night?" Yan Yunting stretched his waist, yawned, and walked slowly into the lobby.

Yang Qing immediately got up, and the first thing he asked was: "Mei Daxia, where is my gold?" ”

Yan Yunting said casually: "There is a girl in Yating Xuan, her singing is so good, she can only sell her for one night with a lot of money." ”

"You just spent all the thousand taels?"

"yes, I think it's worth it."

In fact, it's really worth it.

Yang Qing sat back in the chair like a deflated ball, pointing at Yan Yunting and wanting to blame something, but was finally replaced by a sigh:

"Now that I only have less than 1,000 taels left, how can I recruit talents and reopen the official mansion? Look at this desolate lobby, there is not even a plaque, alas...... Alas...... Alas......"

"Lord Yang, there is a surprise!" Li Man limped into the lobby with a tray covered with a red cloth.

Yang Qing waved his hand, "I'm not interested in hearing any surprises now." ”

"But what do you see?" Li Man uncovered the red cloth, Huo! Good guy, the golden ingots are all fifty or two parts, and there are twenty or thirty ingots!

Yang Qing's eyes widened, and he jumped up from the stool, rubbing his eyes: "I...... I don't have flowers, do I? Still hallucinating. ”

Li Man put the gold on the desk and smiled: "I found it from a cabinet when I was cleaning the room, maybe it was the stolen money hidden by Zhizhou before?" ”

Yang Qing picked up the gold ingot, touched it, bit it, the voice was crisp, genuine, he happily picked up Li Man, and was grateful while turning around: "Miss Li, you are really my Fubaoer!" These hundreds of taels of gold are like the nectar of the long-term drought and the charcoal in the snow, which is the solution to my urgent need! ”

Li Man couldn't help blushing, "Wen Crepe, you put me down quickly, I'm dizzy......"

"Uh, I'm sorry, I can't help it, I lost my etiquette," Yang Qing put down Li Man, scratched his head and smiled, then wrapped up the gold, pulled Li Man and walked out of the hall: "Let's go, I have already written the recruitment document, let's go to the market to recruit officials!" ”

Li Man half-pushed: "Huh? I won't go with it, I'm so ugly, I'm afraid of dirtying the face of adults......"

"Harm! In the opinion of a gentleman, does he care about beauty and ugliness? Out of the way, out of the way! ”

"It would be nice if Lord Yang could speak normally."

"You stutter yourself and ask others to speak more normally?" Yan Yunting said after the two.

Li Man snorted lightly: "That's better than you taking public money to visit the Qinglou, and you want to take Lord Yang with you, but Lord Yang won't go with you." ”

Yan Yunting squinted his eyes: "When did a little servant dare to speak to me like this?" ”

Li Man looked up: "I'm a servant, you're a bodyguard, we are always with Lord Yang, everyone is of the same level, why can't I talk to you like this?" ”

The corners of Yan Yunting's mouth curled slightly: "Very good, very individual." ”

……

Yang Qing walked on the street, as bright as the stars in the night sky, and the people cheered and loved it to the extreme.

"Lord Yang, I don't have anything for you at home, this is my sewn step shoes, please don't dislike it!"

"Lord Yang, I have two eggs here, you take them!"

"Lord Yang, the little girl is twenty-eight years old, and her wife and concubine don't dare to climb high, so I will send you to be a maid, right?"

……

Yang Qing thanked him as he walked, and said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness, but Yang is principled and will never take a stitch from the people!" ”

"Qing Guan! Qing Guan! ”

"With Lord Yang in Xuzhou City, we ordinary people must have a good life!"

The people's desire is what everyone wants, and last night's killing of chickens and monkeys made an example of the general.

Finally squeezed under the city gate, Yang Qing took out a poster from his arms, pasted it on the bulletin board, and then said to the people:

"The government will be restarted in three days, but the people withered, so come here to recruit a hundred servants, all eighteen to thirty-five years old, more than six feet tall, powerful young and middle-aged can participate, in addition to a bucket of grain per month, there are ten taels of wages, although not rich, but enough to solve the problem of food and clothing, but also ask all people with lofty ideals to sign up enthusiastically, and I will restore Xuzhou City together."

"Lord Yang, where do you sign up?" There were questions in the crowd.

Yang Qing pointed to Li Man beside him: "Later, I will set up a registration point at the entrance of the mansion, and my clerk Li Man will register for everyone, and my guard Mei Mingzhi will screen it." ”

"Hurry up! Only 100 people are recruited! First come, first served! ”

"Hey, folks, it's not first-come, first-served, it's going to be tested, you don't need to be in a hurry, it's not too late to go home and eat first."

"Let's go ......"

The young and middle-aged people in the crowd rushed to the government.

When Yan Yunting and the others returned to the mansion, there were no less than seven or eight hundred men gathered outside the door, some were tall and tall, some were thin, and some were old and weak to try their luck, after all, there were twenty catties of grain in a bucket, and the savings were enough for the family to eat and drink.

Yan Yunting picked a stone manger from the yard, weighing two hundred pounds, and drew a yellow line outside the three zhang, and anyone who could pick up the stone and walk through the three zhang was regarded as qualified;

Yang Qing moved the desk, prepared the pen and ink and the roster, and Li Man sat at the door to register the qualified;

For those who are armed with force, this test is nothing, but most of the people who come to the trial have not eaten a decent meal, and it is still difficult for them.

"Let me come first! It's only 200 catties, and I can carry the 300 catties of grinding disc at home on one shoulder! A big black man with a height of nine feet spat on the palm of his hand, grabbed the stone trough with both hands, and yelled: "Get up! ”

With ease, he picked up the stone, took heavy steps, and finally crossed the yellow line.

"Good! Brother Erniu is really born with divine power! ”

"My name is Tie Erniu! It's twenty-eight this year! I live in Tiejia Village outside the city! If I am given a full bite of food, let alone 200 catties, I can lift it even 500 catties! ”

"You're going to eat half a bucket of rice for this full meal, right? Aha......"

"Laugh at you! If you have the ability, you can also do it! ”

"Hmph, isn't it two hundred pounds? I can lift it up with one hand! ”

A seven-foot-tall, dressed in sackcloth of a young man strode out of the crowd, he came to the stone trough, a steady horse step, out of the dantian, the sleeves of his shirt were bulging, he grabbed the groove with one hand, snorted, really lifted the stone trough to the single.

He's at least a Xuanjing martial cultivator.

Yan Yunting and Yang Qing looked at each other and nodded, the officials were in need of such a talent.

"My name is Xu Su, I am twenty-five this year, I have no children, no daughters, no relatives and no reason, I am helping at the dock!" The man in sackcloth shouted his name.

"Oh? Helping at the docks? With your ability, you are enough to eat and drink spicy, why do you want to be a servant? Yan Yunting asked.

Xu Su said disdainfully: "I disdain to be in the same league with the group of dogs and people on the dock," he looked at Yang Qing respectfully: "Last night, the villain was fortunate to witness the adult's punishment and elimination of evil, and he admired the adult very much, so he decided to join the government and serve the adult!" ”

"Good! With this heroic spirit, why worry about the government? Yang Qing praised loudly: "I will let you be the head of the government service, receive twenty people, two buckets of grain per month, and twenty taels of wages," and then he said to all the applicants:

"You are the same, if you have the ability, don't hide it, even if you show your hands and come out to see, I will choose five of the hundred officials, and the food and wages will be doubled!"

The enthusiasm of the masses is once again high.

Those who can be lifted can be qualified, and those who can't be lifted will not move the stone trough. Therefore, the screening was very fast, seven or eight hundred young adults, and in the end, only forty-two people were qualified, among which only Xu Su and another person named Zhan Bo were armed with force.

Most of the good men in the city have been called into the army, and it is quite good to have more than forty people pass the test.

Yan Yunting selected eight relatively strong men from the eliminated crowd and gathered fifty servants.

"All the officials who are on the register will report to the government office at three o'clock in the day after tomorrow, those who have weapons can bring their own weapons, and those who do not have weapons will be uniformly equipped with knives, clothing, waist cards, and advance wages, which will also be uniformly distributed after you officially join the company."

When the recruitment ended, it was close to noon.

"Lord Yang, how do we solve it for lunch?" Li Man asked, rubbing his rumbling belly.

Yang Qing thought for a while and said casually: "There are so many snakes and insects in the backyard, it's not bad to catch a few and cook them." ”

"Huh? Eat snakes? Li Man's face was full of reluctance, "Didn't I find you more than a thousand taels of gold?" Isn't it okay to buy some rice, noodles and pork? ”

Yang Qing waved his hand and said: "Now that gold and silver have just resumed circulation, the price is high, and the money can't help but be spent...... In short, if you can save it, you can save it. ”

Li Man pursed his lips and secretly spat out: "It's really ...... the door."

"Da da da......" The sound of horses' hooves entered my ears.

A convoy of three carriages slowly approached the government from the streets, escorted by two big men, accompanied by five male servants and five female dependents.

When the convoy approached, I saw that the first car was loaded with grain, I am afraid that it was three or five hundred catties, the second car was a number of fruits, vegetables and meat, and the third car was full of silk and satin cloth; The accompanying male servants were all in good spirits, and the female servants were as beautiful as flowers.

"Lord Yang, the boss of our family knows that the official mansion has not been opened for a long time, and there will be all kinds of shortcomings, so he specially sent these grains, rice, meat and vegetables and the family and daughters, and I hope that Lord Yang will accept it."

After the big man finished speaking, he beckoned, and the family began to unload the goods.

"Wait!" Yang Qing stopped loudly: "You go back and tell your boss that Yang has received his kindness, but it is useless, and I have enough gold and silver, so I only need to buy it, and I don't need to give it away." ”

The big man who drove the car showed embarrassment: "This ...... This is just a small heart, not mixed with any purpose, and I hope that Lord Yang will accept it, otherwise it will be difficult for the villain to go back to make a difference. ”

Yang Qing turned around and said, "Then you can take it home yourself, and I will treat it as a gift from me." ”

"Lord Yang doesn't want rice and meat cloth, so leave these family ladies and dependents, right? It's a big house, and it needs someone to take care of it, doesn't it? ”

"No need, Yang has never liked to be a master, I can have a clerk to take care of my daily life." Yang Qing pulled Li Man, who was in love with him, into the door.

"Hey, Lord Yang, Lord Yang......"

"Smack!"

Closed doors, just right.
