Chapter 12: Recruitment

"In that case, then Lone might as well tell you."

Ji Lie smiled indifferently and said softly,

"In fact, after being pushed into the well by Li Zhuo's bastard, Lone is indeed dead."

Hearing this, Zhang Changde's face was shocked, and his hairs stood up!

Could it be that Ji Lie in front of him is a ghost?

Seeing his appearance, Ji Lie laughed and said comfortingly,

"Commander Zhang is calm and don't be impatient, and listen to Lone's words."

"Just when Lone lost consciousness, a white-clothed immortal with fairy wind and bones suddenly appeared in front of Lone."

"He not only saved Gu's life, but also cured Gu's madness, and taught Gu many skills."

The reason why Ji Lie said this was to find a suitable excuse for his resurrection from the dead, as well as his sudden learning of winemaking and martial arts.

Second, the ancients have always been superstitious and worshiped ghosts and gods.

Ji Lie used this as an excuse to better control the royal palace.

Sure enough, after listening to Ji Lie's words, Xiu'er and Laifu on the side were full of awe.

Even Zhang Changde, who has always been resolute and determined, has a slight change in complexion!

Ever since he knew Ji Lie, Ji Lie had been insane.

But when he was pushed into the well by Li Zhuo, everyone thought that Ji Lie was dead, but Ji Lie suddenly came back to life.

The next series of operations, whether it is to kill Li Zhuo, or to plan and grasp Liu Youxin, are all breathtaking.

Early this morning, he was practicing a masterful martial art that even Zhang Changde had never seen.

Zhang Changde never believed in ghosts and gods, but the huge contrast between Ji Lie and before and after, he couldn't help but believe it!

From ancient times to the present, all emperors and generals will always have visions before they are accomplished.

Today, Ji Lie was rescued by the white-clothed immortal and taught him a skill, could it be that he is...... The Chosen One?!

Quite possibly!

After all, Ji Lie is the true prince of Great Xia.

He was abolished as the crown prince before, maybe it was also a plan and test from God!

If he really follows him, he will be on the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, won't he be able to soar?

Thinking of this, Zhang Changde's heart was pounding, and his breathing became rapid!

Putting Zhang Changde's expression in his eyes, Ji Lie secretly laughed in his heart, but on the surface, he was right.

"Oh yes, Lone asked Commander Zhang to come over, there is something important for you to do."

"Please instruct the prince, and his subordinates will not disappoint the prince!"

Zhang Changde said respectfully.

"Our royal family has a big business, and now we have partnered with the Zhao family to make wine, just with these guards in the palace, I am afraid that some people are not enough."

"Therefore, Gu intends to recruit people and expand the scale of the palace guards, what does Commander Zhang think?"

Ji Lie said slowly.

Now that the government is unstable, there are still people in the capital who are eyeing Ji Lie.

Although Zhang Changde was brave enough, there were only twenty guards in the palace.

This manpower is still a bit stretched.

In the case of having money, Ji Lie's first consideration was to recruit troops.

The prince is really ambitious!

Zhang Changde thought secretly in his heart, but on the surface, it was a positive color road,

"The prince has considered it very well, and his subordinates quite agree."

"It's just that if you are alone as a prince, if you have too many guards, it will inevitably be a bit of a transgression. I don't know what kind of good way Commander Zhang has? ”

Zhang Changde knew in his heart that this was Ji Lie's test for himself, and he had to seize the opportunity!

He touched his chin and muttered for a moment, his mind flashed, and he had an idea in an instant.

"The prince might as well organize the newly recruited people into tenants in the fiefdom."

According to the rules of the imperial court, the princes sitting on one side of the town, in addition to the regular distribution of the imperial court, also have 3,000 acres of royal land.

Although Ji Lie was not favored by the emperor, he still owned a thousand acres of royal land.

Zhang Changde's meaning is to place the newly recruited people on Wang Tian.

As a tenant of the palace, there is no need to pay taxes, and the government can't find out, so it is naturally convenient for Ji Lie to operate!

Ji Lie patted his head, and then remembered that he still had a thousand acres of land.

"Commander Zhang is really smart!"

He praised and nodded,

"In that case, from today onwards, you will be responsible for recruiting people."

"Subordinates obey!"

Zhang Changde took over the errand with a smile.

There are not many people who can use Ji Lie now.

If you really want to recruit people and expand the number of guards, isn't that equivalent to increasing his power?

After Zhang Changde received the matter of recruiting the guards and turned to leave, Ji Lie thought about it and ordered,

"Take Gu to the account room!"

The account office manages the entry and exit of the palace's money and materials, and the fiefdom of the palace is naturally under its care.

Ji Lie took Xiu'er and Laifu to the account room.

He was greeted by a thin, middle-aged literati with a goatee, and several other handymen.

"I've seen Your Highness!"

Ji Lie thought about it for a while, and then remembered the identity of the other party.

Feng Chong, the bookkeeper of the palace, is responsible for taking care of the accounts of the palace.

In the world, there were not many people who could read and write.

Therefore, don't look at Feng Chong as just a small bookkeeper, but he is not an idle person.

Speaking of which, he is Li Zhuo's cronies, otherwise it would be impossible for him to serve as a bookkeeper in the palace.

Thinking of this, Ji Lie's gaze at Feng Chong was also full of unkindness!

Feng Chong's heart sudden!

Ever since Ji Lie came back from the dead a few days ago, his madness was cured, and Li Zhuo died suddenly, he sensed that something was wrong.

It's hard to imagine that today, Ji Lie is here to ask the teacher about his crimes!

"I don't know if the prince is driving, is there anything important?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just a whim, I want to know how the harvest of the 1,000 acres of Wang Tian in the palace will be this year?"

Ji Lie said lightly.

"Wang Tian?"

Feng Chong pretended to be confused,

"Have you forgotten that we have sold the 1,000 acres of royal land according to your wishes!"

According to my meaning, it was sold?

Ji Lie was stunned for a moment, and then understood!

It must have been Li Zhuo who pretended to be in his own name before, and asked Feng Chong to sell Wang Tian in the palace!

Li Zhuo, this dog thing!

That's a thousand acres of fertile land, and it's worth at least 30,000 taels of silver!

With such a large sum of money, I don't know who this bastard has given to filial piety!

If it weren't for the fact that Li Zhuo's body had been thrown outside the city to feed the wild dogs, Ji Lie would have been eager to dismantle it in eight pieces!

But no matter what, he still has tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hand.

In the future, the business of drunken immortal brewing will be spread, and there will be a lot of money at that time.

You can buy some new land and place the newly recruited guards!

Ji Lie comforted himself, his eyes fell on Feng Chong, and he suddenly became angry.

Li Zhuo is certainly hateful, but Feng Chong, who is in cahoots with him and complicit, how can it be a good thing?

Thinking of this, Ji Lie's face sank,

"Come on, take Feng Chong down for me!"
