Chapter 2: Recruiting New Recruits

The Kaiping Empire, as the top two of the six small countries among the five major countries of the Yunran Continent, has even had a tendency to catch up with and surpass the Tianyuan Empire in recent years, and the achievement of this status is not as simple as relying on a Linjing City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

For the powerful Kaiping Empire, it takes a day to destroy a city, and it doesn't take long to build a city.

The new emperor of the empire was very lucky, Zhang Jingyao's ten years of reign had accumulated quite a lot of capital for him, millions of soldiers had already bowed to him, and all kinds of armies had also been drawn to various garrisons to guard the safety of the empire.

On the day of the Great War, the empire ushered in their new emperor, and then a large number of craftsmen moved into the capital, and the new royal family did not choose to move the capital, but planned to re-establish the city on this battlefield that had been razed to the ground.

It's just that the craftsmen first built not a palace, but cultivated two magnificent statues in the city, and built a circle of buildings around the statues.

Linjing City has a new plan, and the royal family plans to double the city's original territory and establish the largest city in the Yunran Continent beyond Tianyuan City, to reflect the powerful heritage of the new empire.

Simple huts were quickly erected, more than 100,000 residents who had previously been outside the city moved in, and the busy city was once again calm.

For the hundreds of millions of people of the Kaiping Empire, the place that they can talk about in addition to Linjing is Hanshui City in the southeast of the empire.

Although the location of Hanshui City was a little off, it was relatively closed in history, and it was not even a middle-level city in the empire, until after Zhang Jingyao's registration ten years ago, the city underwent a comprehensive expansion and became the top five large cities in the Kaiping Empire.

Zhang Jingyao made his career here, Zhang Lingxi was born here, the former was the lord of the city here, and later he was transferred to Linjing soon after he had a daughter, and was valued by the first king in the court, and the official position gradually became bigger, and finally relied on the rebellion to become the emperor of the empire for ten years.

In the past ten years, Hanshui City has undergone such earth-shaking changes.

After Zhang Jingyao's death, it was only a one-day time, and officials in various parts of the country began a great purge, and Hanshui City, which was the birthplace of Zhang Jingyao, bore the brunt.

In this official reshuffle, whether it is the city lord or other officials in Hanshui City, almost all of them have changed, and the soldiers wearing new armor patrol back and forth in the city, and the bright weapons exude a fierce brilliance.

Everyone in Hanshui City did not dare to make any changes, and they were cautious in doing things, for fear of being caught by the head bird at such a juncture.

The statue of Zhang Jingyao in the city had been torn down and smashed to pieces, and the crumbs of the stones had been pushed out and used as footsteps in the construction of the new city walls.

But no matter how this place changes, no one dares to touch the quiet house in the north of the city, and there are really not many people who come close to it, even the merchants who walk the streets and alleys avoid it.

When Zhang Jingyao was still the lord of the city, this was the old house of the Zhang family, and later Zhang Jingyao became the emperor, and there was no Zhang family living in this house, but a few families lived in it for a long time and were responsible for cleaning and taking care of it.

Three days ago, the owner of this house finally returned.

Many people in Hanshui City are actually waiting to see the attitude of the new dynasty.

The first thing the new Hanshui City Lord did after taking office was to personally take it to this mansion, but the people were rumoring that the owner of this mansion did not seem to give face, and the new city lord was blasted out.

Obviously, for the owner of this house, the new dynasty never dared to offend, and even said that it was a little goodwill.

However, from the incident where the city lord went, they heard another thing, and that was that the house was holding a funeral.

But guess, the people also know who this loss is for.

Every time this matter was mentioned, everyone was secretly sighing, no matter how Zhang Jingyao commented on his merits, but after all, he took pity on their princess.

I heard that the son of the Duke of Wei Guo killed Zhang Jingyao with his own hands in Linjing, and the Xunzhang family has completely broken off their kindness.

From the words coming out of the mouths of the people in the mansion, I learned that Zhang Jingyao's funeral was held in the house, and he couldn't see it on the street, and he could only stand upstairs in the distance and see the white pans floating in the house.

The door of the mansion was closed, there was no music or crying, and it was deserted.

No matter how much courtesy the court has for the current owner of this house, no one dares to worship Zhang Jingyao.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, when the house finally opened, a handsome maid came out and posted a notice in front of the excerpt, meaning to recruit a few subordinates.

Many people gathered around, pointing and watching, the price given on this notice was not low, and it was difficult to find it in Hanshui City, but these people just whispered, and no one acted.

A yellow-skinned, very ordinary-looking dark-skinned man squeezed into the middle of the crowd, looked at the notice posted on the wall, and then walked towards the house, which attracted everyone's attention.

The people gathered in front of the sign looked at the dark-skinned man curiously, and after half a sound, the dark-skinned man walked out of the house and shouted at the group outside.

"There are nine more spots, as of tonight. Then he turned around and walked in.

Tell the people around you to look at me, I'll look at you, and then a large group of mermaids rushed in, as if they were fighting for something.

Steward Wang is an old man over sixty years old, he was on an errand here when he was thirty years old, and later Zhang Jingyao left Hanshui City to go to Linjing to be an official, and he became the housekeeper of this house, until now.

Sixty years old is not a small age in the secular world, he has short hair, sparse white, but not hunchbacked, clear and thin, and energetic.

He put his hands behind his back, followed by three subordinates.

"From today onwards, this room will belong to the three of you. Steward Wang pushed open the door, and a simple and spacious room appeared in front of the three of them.

"Pack up briefly, and we'll go to the front yard later, there's a task assigned to you. Steward Wang said a word and left, and three newly recruited subordinates walked into the room, and the two of them quickly occupied a bed by the window, leaving only a relatively cloudy bed in the corner.

The black and thin man didn't care about these little things, put his package on the bed, and simply cleaned it up, and the two subordinates on the other side seemed to know each other, and the two began to talk in a whisper at this time.

"I heard that the princess gave birth to flowers and moons, and the country and the city are overwhelmed, and I don't know if we will have a chance to see them. The taller, thinner, mustachioed man whispered.

"I'm afraid it's not much hope, we all do rough work such as carrying water and chopping wood, usually even if it is something related to the princess, it should be passed on by her personal maid, how can I have the opportunity to see the princess with a golden face." The other Humpty Dumpty shook his head and said.

"Alas, I really don't know if that Xun Qiu is sick in the brain, I don't want such a good princess, do you think he is stupid. ”

"Not to mention, the Xun family is the pillar of the establishment of the new royal family, it is said that Linjing City built two statues for Xun Changfeng and Xun Qiu father and son, said to be more than ten zhang high, extremely prominent. ”

"Alas, it's all about strength. ”

The two talked for a long time, and then they noticed the person who would live with them, and the two made a look, and then leaned over together.

"Hey, what's your name. The tall and thin man looked at the dark-skinned young man who was sitting on the bed, dumbfounded, with a hint of boredom in his eyes.

This person looks like he is in his early twenties, and he must be the kind of waste person who has no skills and can't read and write.

The dark-skinned young man raised his head, grinned, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "My surname is Li, I don't have a name, everyone calls me Xiaoer, and you call me that." ”

The Humpty Dumpty man was immediately happy, and sneered: "Li Xiaoer, haha, your father and mother are really prescient, knowing that you can only do these subordinate jobs in the future, and they have chosen your name in advance." ”

Feeling that this time they met the soft persimmon, the two of them were even more arrogant, the tall man stood on the side of the bed, looked at each other and said condescendingly: "My name is Sun Li, he is my brother Fu Biao, and I will be called Brother Sun in the future, Brother Fu, did you hear it?" ”

Li Xiaoer nodded hurriedly, and the two were quite satisfied with his attitude, and made a wicked smile to each other, as if they were brewing some plan, and walked away.

After a stick of incense, a newly recruited family member gathered in the front yard, and Steward Wang roughly assigned the task, and everyone began to get busy.

The three people who lived together happened to be in charge of replacing the front yard with new floor tiles.

Although this house has always been taken care of, there are usually only a few people living in it, and the floor tiles are more than ten years ago and are already a little dilapidated, which is not a small amount of work for the three of them.

After Steward Wang left, the three of them first removed all the floor tiles from the carriage and then began to replace them. It's just that less than half an hour after the work began, the two of them looked at each other, and surrounded Li Xiaoer, one left and one right.

"Hey, these jobs are handed over to you today, and if Steward Wang dares to talk nonsense when asked, be careful of your bones. Sun Li lifted the clothes on the other party's chest and threatened.

The black and thin young man nodded hurriedly, the two of them were very satisfied with such a simple handover of this pile of work to the wronged boss, after being recruited for a few years, they had already paid a part of the monthly money, just enough to sneak out and find a restaurant to satisfy their hunger.

After the two left, the black and thin young man continued to work alone, and by the time the night was getting dark, the work assigned to the three of them had already been done.

He raised his head to wipe his sweat, and when he bent down to continue drying, a beautiful shadow walked briskly.
