Chapter 429: Strategy

"Heavenly soldiers recruit celestials?"

The old beggar said dissatisfiedly: "Nangong Yu, do you want me to be your apprentice's bodyguard?"

Nangong Yu hurriedly said: "How can you be a bodyguard? I want my apprentice to honor you!"

"That's a nice thing to say. ”

The old beggar snorted and said, "Are you pushing me into the fire pit? Who doesn't know that the Hundred Battles City is being targeted by two holy places?"

"With your old identity, the Holy Land doesn't dare to do anything to you, besides, my apprentice is not the kind of black-hearted person, and he will definitely not ask you to defend the Hundred Battles City!"

"Your apprentice is not black-hearted, is it okay for everyone to call him Zhang Papi?"

"That's slander, how can I be black-hearted when I slay the disciple of the Evil Dragon?"

Nangong Yu said unhappily: "If he was really black-hearted, I would have beaten him to death a long time ago, besides, the Hundred Battles City was built by him to live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone praised it, even Confucianism praised it, and sent people to travel every day." ”

"That's right!"

The old beggar still believed in Nangong Yu's character, but he still didn't agree: "Nangong Yu, the old man is already old, and I'm not interested in wading into this troubled water, to be honest, your apprentice is too good at death, and he even dares to offend the Holy Land." ”

"This is my apprentice who slays the Evil Dragon. ”

Nangong Yu laughed, he pointed to the beautifully packaged bottle of wine on the table and asked, "Elder Hong, do you know what kind of wine this is?"

The old beggar took a sip of wine and replied, "Of course I know, this is a dream wine, it has been selling very well recently, but it is too expensive, to be honest, old man, I only drank it for the first time today." ”

"This dream wine is produced by my apprentice, a bottle is tens of thousands of taels, and it can sell hundreds of bottles a day, and this is still when he doesn't ship it with all his might. ”

Nangong Yu said proudly: "My apprentice is filial, as soon as this wine came out, he immediately sent hundreds of bottles to me!"

The boss of the old beggar's eyes opened: "In other words, he can earn millions of taels a day?"

"That's just the income from Dream Wine, and there are many other things, such as blood spars and raw silk factories. ”

Nangong Yu said: "My apprentice's ability to make money is first-class, if you go to Hundred Battles City, he will never treat you badly, aren't you beggars short of money?"

There are also beggars in the Martial Immortal World, but they are not strong, in fact, in the past, the beggar gang was not unified at all, it was a scattered force.

It wasn't until this generation of beggar gang leader Hong Jiu broke through the heavens that the beggar gang was officially unified, however, because it was just starting out, there were many problems, and it had no prestige in the rivers and lakes, in short, it was a group of beggars who asked for food.

The old beggar in front of Nangong Yu is Hong Jiu, the leader of the beggar gang, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him a life-saving beggar!

"We beggars are not short of money, but we have always been short of money. ”

Hong Jiu smiled bitterly, and said with a little heartbeat: "Your apprentice is willing to pay to support our beggar gang? ”

The purpose of the Beggar Gang is to save the beggars in the world, but the Martial Immortal World is divided and there are beggars everywhere, so the money of the Beggar Gang will never be enough!

It is precisely because of this that Hong Jiu will be the poorest person in the world!

He was so poor that he couldn't even afford clothes, because all his money was contributed to the beggars!

"He may not be able to pay to support your beggars, but he will definitely give you a lot of money, and my apprentice has nothing else, but he is rich, very rich. ”

Nangong Yu said: "By the way, my apprentice will also give you a heavenly soldier, you can sell it for money, how many beggars can you save?"

Hong Jiu's eyes lit up: "Sell Heavenly Soldiers, are your apprentices willing to let me sell them?"

"If you don't let it now, you will let it later. ”

Nangong Yu smiled and said very sincerely: "Elder Hong, to be honest, it is not a way for your beggar gang to continue like this, I think my apprentice may be able to show you a way out." ”

"Nangong Yu, it's not that I underestimate your apprentice, but with the current situation of the empire, how can a beggar survive?"

Hong Jiu said bitterly: "Moreover, the world is about to be in chaos." ”

Nangong Yu persuaded: "It's always an opportunity, what if there is one? No matter how bad it is, he can also make the beggar live a little better." ”

"That's ......"

Hong Jiu hesitated, and Nangong Yu made persistent efforts and said: "Elder Hong, you don't have to make a decision right away, you can go to Baizhan City first and communicate with Zhang Yunhao, I believe that he will not let you down." ”

Hong Jiu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, Nangong Yu, I'll go to Hundred Battles City to see Zhang Yunhao, but I may not necessarily agree to it if I state it in advance." ”

"No problem, as long as Elder Hong is willing to go to Hundred Battles City, the rest depends on that kid's creation. ”

Nangong Yu was overjoyed, nodded again and again: "By the way, whether it works out or not, you can blacken a sum of money from him, just say I borrowed it." ”

Hong Jiumeng rolled his eyes: "Is it really good for you to pit an apprentice like this?"

Nangong Yu said as a matter of course: "A master who doesn't pit apprentices is not a good master!"

"You......"

The old beggar shook his head, and at this time, he thought of something, and asked with bright eyes: "By the way, you just said that your apprentice sent you hundreds of bottles of dream wine, didn't you?"

"Give you a hundred bottles. ”

Nangong Yu said bitterly: "Let your old drunkard have a good time." ”

"Happy, it's really the dragon that slays evil. ”

The old beggar was overjoyed, and then thought of something, and sighed: "I guess it's not enjoyable, this wine is so valuable, it's better to sell it to help the beggars, there are more and more beggars recently." ”

Nangong Yu sighed, admired Hong Jiu in his heart, and poured him wine, while saying, "Hey, Hong Lao, look at it, this world is like this." ”

"The bullshit world!"

Hong Jiu scolded, gulped down the wine in the cup, and then regretted a little, this glass of wine can be exchanged for thousands of taels!

Hong Jiu is a believer, and he rushed to the Hundred Battles City the next day, looking at the beggars who kept appearing on the road, Hong Jiu's heart sank, and this was just the beginning.

"The Holy Land is not destroyed, and the thieves are not stopped!"

Hong Jiu sighed secretly, but there was nothing he could do, he could only see what he couldn't see, and he flew with all his might.

The speed of the celestial people was amazing, and only two days later, Hong Jiu arrived at the territory of the Hundred Battles City.

As soon as he arrived in the area of Hundred Battles City, Hong Jiu felt that he had come to a completely new world, which was completely different from the outside.

The roads here are all rocky and orderly, and at the same time, the roads are planted with all kinds of grains, like a golden sea, which is refreshing.

Not only that, but the peasants in Hundred Battles City are not the same as the outside, whether it is clothing or temperament, they are full of hope, hope for the future.

"It is said that the governance of Hundred Battles City is good, but I didn't expect it to be so good. ”

Hong Jiu suddenly felt that this trip was the right one, just from this wheat field, this farmer, and this road, he knew that Zhang Yunhao was a good city lord, a very good city lord.

Hong Jiu fell from the sky, observing the Hundred Battles City as he walked, nodding his head again and again, at this time, he found a pavilion in front of him, so he walked over to rest.

The pavilion was already full of people, including peasants, scholars, merchants, and warriors, and they were very peaceful with each other, and there was no conflict.

"Old man, come and sit here!"

The scholar was quite polite, and when he saw Hong Jiu coming, he immediately gave up his seat, and after Hong Jiu thanked him, he sat down, and he asked, "Scholar, where are you from?"

The scholar smiled: "Old man, I came from Wuxian City and am traveling the world. ”

Hong Jiu was surprised: "Are you a Confucian?"

The scholar shook his head and said humbly: "It's just a scholar of the academy, not a Confucian." ”

Hong Jiu asked, "That's amazing, scholar, what do you think of this Hundred Battle City?"

The scholar immediately said, "Okay, Paradise!"

Hong Jiu was very surprised: "Such a high evaluation?"

"This is the truth, in fact, Xiao Sheng, I have been walking around the Hundred Battles City for several days, compared to other places, the Hundred Battles City is really a paradise. ”

The scholar smiled: "Here, you can have enough to eat, you can have a place to live, you can not be bullied, you can have hope, what is not a happy land?"

Hong Jiu was immediately impressed by the scholar, don't look at these few are very simple, but in the Martial Immortal Empire, there are few places that can do it at all!

Hong Jiu turned his head to a few peasants and asked, "A few fellow villagers, can you really eat enough?"

A middle-aged peasant with a lot of wrinkles replied a little stiffly: "If we can eat enough, the city lord only charges us 30% of the rent!"

Hong Jiu exclaimed: "It's only thirty percent, it's terrible, many places have received seven or eight percent." ”

"Our lord is a good man. ”

The middle-aged farmer smiled honestly: "He not only charges us 30% of the rent, but also helps us dredge the water conservancy so that we can have a good harvest." ”

"Not only did the water conservancy be dredged, but the city lord also asked people to teach you how to plant and give you interest-free loans. ”

The scholar smiled on the side: "The most important thing is that the city lord has also exempted you from conscription!"

The peasants nodded their heads and said gratefully: "Yes, yes, the city lord has also exempted us from forced labor!"

"Even the conscription has been exempted? ”

Hong Jiu sighed, forced labor is unpaid labor, and for the peasants, it is an extremely heavy burden!

A martial artist on the side laughed: "That's, of course the little overlord is terrible." ”

Hong Jiu also smiled and continued to ask the farmer before, "Fellow, has anyone bullied you?"

The middle-aged peasant smiled: "There used to be a lot, but after the city lord came, there was no more." ”

"Who dares them to bully them? At the least, they will be arrested and used as hard laborers, or they will be beaten to death. ”

The martial artist who spoke before rolled his eyes and said, "What did the little overlord say, by the way, if you want to make money in Lao Tzu's territory, you have to abide by Lao Tzu's rules!"

Another warrior nodded: "That's right, the army of faceless people under the little overlord is ruthless, and none of them dare to bully civilians have a good end." ”

"He's domineering. ”

Hong Jiu nodded, feeling more and more good for Zhang Yunhao in his heart.

A thousand years ago, there were many good city lords like Zhang Yunhao, but now, they are really rare!

Thinking of something, Hong Jiu asked again, "By the way, are there beggars in the city?"

The scholar shook his head and said, "No, the little overlord does not allow beggars in the city, see one and catch one." ”

Hong Jiu frowned: "See one and catch one?"

"Don't get me wrong, the reason why Xiaobawang arrested them is because he doesn't want them to get something for nothing. ”

The scholar explained: "The captured beggars will be sent to the silk factory to support themselves, the salary is not low, and there are all kinds of benefits, and recently they have to share the house. ”

"Some beggars don't have the ability to make a living, right?"

"Beggars who have no ability to earn a living will be raised, and if they are children, they will also be offered books and teaching, and martial arts will be practiced. ”

Hong Jiu was a little excited: "Let the beggars fend for themselves and raise the beggars who can't make a living?

The scholar was obviously a little misunderstood, and said with a smile: "Of course it's true, old man, if you go to the Hundred Battles City, you will definitely be able to enjoy your old age in peace." ”

Hong Jiu didn't explain, and sighed: "What a good city lord." ”

A warrior said indifferently, "What's this? If I had the same wealth as Little Overlord, I would do the same." ”

The scholar shook his head: "You can't say that, there are more rich people, how many are willing to help beggars?"

The middle-aged peasant told off his experience: "Our city lord is rich, and I heard that the toilet, bed, table, and chair he uses are all made of gold. ”

Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and if the little overlord heard this, he would probably be angry to death.

The middle-aged peasant looked puzzled when he saw this, what were everyone laughing at, could it be that the furniture used by the city lord was not golden?

Suddenly, a martial artist sighed: "The little overlord is indeed a good city lord, but I don't know how long he can be in office?"

"Let's do it and cherish it, let's hurry up and get some more blood crystals. ”

The other warrior shook his head and got up with his companion and left the pavilion.

Several peasants were a little panicked when they heard this: "Could it be that the city owner will be transferred?"

"The little overlord has governed the Hundred Battles City too prosperously. ”

The scholar sighed: "When the sheep is fat, the wolf will naturally come." ”

Several peasants looked confused, completely unable to understand what the scholar was saying, and the scholar did not explain much, bowed politely to the crowd, and left.

"You don't have to worry, the city lord won't transfer away. ”

Hong Jiu let out a breath, he had already made a decision in his heart, and then, he got up and left the pavilion and headed for the Hundred Battles City!

The prosperity of the Hundred Battles City made Hong Jiu breathtaking, and soon, he came to the City Lord's Mansion and said to the guards: "I want to see Zhang Yunhao!"

The guard didn't despise Hong Jiu because of his dress, and asked dutifully, "Uncle, why do you want to see the city lord?

Hong Jiu said, "It was your city lord who invited me here. ”

The guard was a little unconvinced: "Our city lord invited you here?"

Hong Jiu said: "That's right, your city lord invited me with a heavenly soldier." ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, and then said incredulously: "Heavenly soldier, are you always a celestial?"

"Not like?"

"Of course not, how can anyone wear patched clothes?"

"Then you're going to drive me away?"

"No, you're always waiting here, I'll send someone to inform the city lord immediately!"

Hong Jiu was a little curious: "Since you think I'm not a celestial, why do you have to inform the little overlord Zhang Yunhao? aren't you afraid that he will blame you?"

"The city lord said that whoever he is, as long as he says that he is a celestial, he will immediately inform him, and as for the work of identifying celestials, he will be personally responsible. ”

The guard explained first, and then kindly persuaded, "Old man, this is really not a joke. ”

"Interesting, interesting, you go and report it!"

Hong Jiu laughed, Zhang Yunhao really had a different reaction, and while cultivating diligently, he also managed the Hundred Battles City in an orderly manner.

If the doppelganger Zhang Yunhao is here, he will definitely roll his eyes, is Lao Tzu in charge of the Hundred Battles City?

"Okay, old man, wait a minute!"

The guards didn't persuade anymore, and sent someone into the mansion to report, and soon, Zhang Yunhao came in a hurry, he looked Hong Jiu up and down, and asked in surprise: "But the life-saving beggar Hong Jiu's senior?"

Hong Jiu was a little surprised: "You recognize me?"

Zhang Yunhao said respectfully: "I don't know, but my master admires you the most, he once said that you are the most benevolent hero in the world!"

"What's benevolence and righteousness? It's a poor flower child. ”

Hong Jiu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Your master asked me to come here to have a look, so I came, I have to say, Xiaobawang, you really surprised me." ”

"Master asked you to come here and have a look?"

Zhang Yunhao was very grateful, the master was too good to him, and he said respectfully: "Senior, please come into the mansion to talk." ”

"Hmm!"

Hong Jiu nodded, and followed Zhang Yunhao into the City Lord's Mansion in stride.

"It's really a celestial?"

Looking at the two departing, the guard was dumbfounded, fortunately he was not rude, otherwise it would have been bad.

The guard secretly sighed: "It is said that the heavenly people have strange tempers, and it is true, they actually wear patched clothes, fortunately, the city lord is wise!"
