The next morning.

According to Ji Lie's instructions, Zhao Meiniang, Wang Yan, Li Rong and others came to the palace.

"I've seen the prince!"

"No need to be polite, please take a seat."

Ji Lie waved his hand.

Once everyone was seated, he explained his intentions.

"Now the palace has purchased a lot of new fields and handed them over to the people to cultivate."

"Therefore, the palace is in urgent need of manpower, and Lone intends to choose the children of several of your families to serve Lone."

Ji Lie paused, and smiled intentionally or unintentionally,

"If you do a good job, you may be able to eat the food of the Shangguan family in the future."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present became short of breath.

None of them are stupid, so they can naturally hear Ji Lie's words.

Ji Lie was hinting to them that after removing Gongsun River and controlling the power of the fief in the future, they would arrange their family children to enter the official mansion.

You must know that Gongsun He, as a state minister, has the power to appoint and promote officials.

But all the members of the Gongsun, Yu, and Yang families were placed in important positions by him.

The rest of the scholars can either only serve as low-level officials, or they can't even get a half-official position.

Ji Lie made such a promise, for them little warriors, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Since the prince has spoken, we will naturally not refuse!"

"Yes, yes, let's let the dog report to the palace when I turn around!"

Everyone was gossiping.

Ji Lie just raised his hand slightly, and everyone immediately fell silent again.

"There are two people from each of your families, but remember that those who come must be intelligent, capable, and of good character."

"If not, we will send people back, and at worst, we will remove the family from our business alliance."

After Ji Lie and Zhao Meiniang reached cooperation with eighteen scholars and merchants, he also took the opportunity to establish the Youzhou Business Alliance.

In order to make the business bigger and stronger in the future, and create brilliance again, prepare in advance.

Hearing Ji Lie's warning, everyone's hearts sank, and they said in unison,

"Please rest assured!"

After some more small talk, they each got up and took their leave.

Ji Lie left Zhao Meiniang and asked about the situation of Yulushui.

After so long, now the business of Gyokuro Water is on the right track.

According to Ji Lie's meaning, Zhao Meiniang pressed the output of jade dew water very low.

As a result, the Gyokuro water on the market has been in short supply.

The situation in Youzhou City is not bad, in other counties and counties, and even in other states, Yulu water is hard to say, it is not too much to say!

"The prince is really a genius who can study such treasures."

Zhao Meiniang couldn't help but praise.

Although the business of Gyokuro Water is not as large as that of Drunken Immortal Brewing, it is better because of its high price and high profits.

Roughly calculated, the profit of Zhao's firm from it is no worse than that of Drunken Immortal Brewing!

This is also Zhao Meiniang, who admires Ji Lie more and more!

Ji Lie smiled,

"It's just a little trick to carve insects. As long as Mei Niang is loyal to work for Lonely, Lone will have other businesses to take care of in the future. ”

"Thank you for your trust!"

Zhao Meiniang smiled, looking at Ji Lie's beautiful eyes watery and full of charm.

At this moment, Laifu walked in from outside and saluted Ji Lie,

"Lord Qiqi, what you told me has been done!"

"Lone has something to do, Mei Niang, Lone is out of company."

"Lord Wang, please take care of yourself!"

Looking at Ji Lie's distant figure, Zhao Meiniang inexplicably felt a touch of loss in her heart.

If Liu Youxin hadn't been recruited as a son-in-law, how good would it be?

She sighed and walked away.

Ji Lie followed Laifu and came to a side courtyard of the palace.

There were twenty or thirty figures standing in the courtyard, all of them with young faces and tattered clothes.

"The prince has arrived, don't hurry up and salute!"

Laifu said in a deep voice.

"See...... I've seen the prince! ”

The young men were a little nervous, and hurriedly saluted Ji Lie awkwardly.

This time, there was a shortage of manpower in the palace, and Ji Lie not only asked those scholars to provide the children of the family, but also asked Laifu to select some clever young people from among the ordinary people.

The reason is simple.

As a traverser, he naturally understands what will happen if he blindly reuses the Shi clan.

It is necessary to promote the children of the poor family and compete with the children of the scholar clan in order to ensure stability.

"Are you all literate?"

Ji Lie looked them up and down and smiled gently.

"Back to ...... Back to the prince, we are all literate, but not many. ”

There was a brave young man, who said cautiously.

There are many of them who have been ancestors and have been defeated.

But fortunately, there are still some family backgrounds, and there are also books at home, so they are still literate.

"That's good!"

Ji Lie nodded with satisfaction and said loudly,

"Do you know why Lone brought you here?"

A group of young people, you look at me, I look at you, all shaking their heads blankly.

"Now that there is a shortage of manpower in the palace, I want to reuse you, I don't know what you mean?"

Hearing this, these young people were stunned!

Their family background is ordinary, even inferior to those little scholars.

On weekdays, I can only make a living by farming for people, and sometimes I can't even guarantee food and clothing.

They never dreamed that one day, they would be able to enter the palace to do things!

"Why, don't you want to?"

Ji Lie said with a smile.

"If you don't want to, the prince will be replaced."

The rifle gang on the side said.

"I ...... We...... Willing! ”

The young men came back to their senses and said with ecstasy!

For these children of poor families, only the smoke from the ancestral tomb can get such a good opportunity to turn over, how could they miss it?

"That's good! But you have to remember that if you dare to be cheating and ungrateful, you are not welcome! ”

Ji Lie shouted in a low voice.

"Please rest assured!"

"If we really do that, the prince will kill us, and we will have nothing to say!"

These young men hurriedly patted their chests and promised.

"Give each of them a tael of silver."

Ji Lie's side of the blessing commanded.

"We haven't started working yet, how can we get the prince's silver in advance?"

The young man from before hurriedly waved his hand.

"Since you are working for the palace, you are lonely people, and lonely nature wants to ensure that you have no worries."

"When you have taken the money, you will first put the affairs of your house in order, and then go and buy some decent clothes."

Ji Lie smiled faintly.

Seeing that he is a prince, he is so approachable and thoughtful.

The eyes of a group of young people from poor families couldn't help but become moist!

This bold young man is named Deng Wei.

He is also the most appealing among these poor children.

So Ji Lie appointed him as a chief official, responsible for managing other young people from poor families.

After Deng Wei and the others received the silver, they thanked Ji Lie for their kindness and left the palace.

At this moment, a subordinate hurriedly walked over,

"Lord Qi, the head of the Li family and the head of the Wang family are asking to see each other outside the door."
