Chapter 10 Purpose
"Old man, I won't say much about the other things. Now I am ordered to conscript, and the young and strong young men under your command are the goals of my trip. When I get there, I can promise you..."

Wang Kuo said a lot. To put it simply, Xiaozhi told the old man how good these people would be under his hands. How much money can Yue still have to get, etc., so he almost calls his place a fairyland on earth, a rare and good place.

But Wang Kuo, who had been rambling on for a long time, met a very straightforward old man, who did not move at all despite what he said, until his mouth was dry, and the old man showed a humble expression, Twist the index finger and thumb lightly, making a general gesture.

"I also ask you to make amends. It's not the little old man, I'm refusing. In fact, we poor people also have struggles here. There are only dozens of young and middle-aged people here. If these young and middle-aged people are handed over to the adults to take away, then we old women and women Isn't the child about to be slaughtered by other forces?"

"Your grandma..." Wang Kuo gritted his teeth angrily, couldn't help but almost yelled angrily, it wasn't because he was angry that the old man was refusing, and he didn't see that the old man was refusing, because just look at his twirling fingers, I know this is a refusal or I have to sit on the ground and raise the price.

"Huh..." He let out a deep breath, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart, Wang Kuo casually took out a tael of silver and threw it to the old man.

"Old guy, I warn you not to push yourself too hard. Remember that this is the emperor's messenger, working for the emperor, so if you really want to benefit, then you can go to the emperor if you have the ability."

After saying a word, Wang Kuo saw that the old man's expression restrained a little, and then he continued to tap.

"Old guy, you have to understand, if I really want to deal with you, believe it or not, I don't need me to show up, I can make it difficult for you to get along here? So you have to learn how to stop when you are a human being, and you must know what it means to be a man who knows the current affairs. , don't even look at me being friendly with you now, just treat it as me begging you!"

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and even at the end of the story, Wang Kuo's face had a hint of murderous intent, which made the old man tremble and turn pale with fright.

Seeing that he understood the seriousness of the matter, he purposely snorted while remaining angry, then changed his voice, and said sweetly again.

"Hmph, the reason why I gave you these benefits today is because apart from this matter, I have other things for you to do. If you do well, I can't give you the benefits, but it's not I can't give you some ideas, so that you can get more benefits."

Wang Kuo's words made the old man's eyes light up. Even though he was frightened just now and his heart trembled, he still couldn't help showing a flattering smile at this moment.

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord, I'm willing to go through fire and water for my lord, and I'm willing to do anything... I just don't know what my lord's solution is?"

"Hmph, come here and listen to me!" Wang Kuo was completely speechless to the money-grubbing old man in front of him, but he had to hold back his impatience and killing intent when he thought that there were still some things he needed to do. He deliberately looked around until the old man came over with his ear, and then said softly.

"Listen to me, Jin Yiwei's position is an imperial envoy. Since it is an imperial envoy, then the salary must be indispensable. Besides, it is not easy for an imperial envoy to have some gray income?"

"The money-greedy old guy is really stupid." Seeing that he said so much, the old guy still didn't react, Wang Kuo thought about it, and he could only explain it directly.

"What the hell, you're really stupid. Since these people listen to you, you won't tell them that this is the emperor's job you won for them, so in the future, their monthly salaries will have to be paid to you." You pay some, so that so many people's money is distributed to you, don't you just send it?"

"Eh... high, really high!" The old man stared at his bright eyes. After he understood Wang Kuo's idea, all he could think about was this young boy who didn't know if he was as old as his grandson. Why are there so many bad ideas? Is this the reason why people can be officials?

As for Wang Kuo's insults to him, it is not easy for poor people like them to live, so they have become accustomed to ordinary insults, so naturally they don't care, instead they keep thanking Wang Kuo for his idea.

"Okay, since you already understand, let me handle this matter first, and when you finish this matter, I still have something to tell you to do, and your benefits will be indispensable at that time, you know have no idea?"

"Yes, yes, sir, don't worry, I'll go and call all the young and middle-aged men of my clan." The old man was about to worship Wang Kuo as a god, and naturally he didn't dare to neglect what he said, let alone this It also related to his personal income, so he didn't dare to delay, so he turned around and walked towards the group of people.

"Hmph, I hope you won't go too far, otherwise..." Wang Kuo looked at the back of the old man leaving, his eyes flickered with an inexplicable light, when the old man smiled and looked back, Wang Kuo's face was only left With a gentle smile, it makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Under the organization of the old man, the young and middle-aged people in this poor area were soon brought in front of Wang Kuo.

From the youngest 35 or 50 years old to [-] or [-] years old, there were more than [-] young and middle-aged people. Except for some sallow, thin and pale faces, and malnutrition at first glance, these people were quite satisfactory to Wang Kuo.

Because these people were poor since childhood, they will endure hardships and stand hard work even more. As long as their nutrition can keep up in the future, after a period of training, Wang Kuo can guarantee that each of these people will be the most qualified fighters in the future.

Especially those fifteen or sixteen-year-old youths, because their bodies are not yet fully developed, so they will be more valuable in polishing and have more developmental advantages.

Nodding in satisfaction, Wang Kuo called one of his three subordinates and asked him to take these people to find a place to rest. Then he found the old man again and told him his mission.

"My lord, please don't worry, the little old man will go talk to them right away." The old man readily agreed to the task Wang Kuo gave him, because it had no effect on him.

"By the way, I don't know the old man's last name, how should I address him?"

Seeing the well-behaved appearance of the old man, Wang Kuo couldn't help but feel a sudden movement in his heart. Although this old guy is a bit greedy for money, but as the saying goes, a villain has a villain's usage, and a gentleman has a gentleman's usage, so he was moved in his heart, thinking that as long as he If this old guy is obedient, it will be very useful to me, so I asked this question.

"Little old man, my surname is Liu. I don't have a first name. You can call me Lao Liu or Xiao Liu."

"Xiao Liu?" The old man in front of him looked not 60 years old, but also 50 years old, and he couldn't shout "Xiao Liu Wang Kuo" no matter what.

"Okay, old Liu, right? You are very good. Go ahead. As long as you do well in this matter, I will give you a fortune."

Although he didn't know what wealth was like in Wang Kuo's mouth, the old man still nodded happily. For him, the current life was worse than bad.

In fact, Wang Kuo's task is very simple, especially when Lao Liu comes forward, and this also needs to talk about the situation in this slum.

Speaking of which, this slum is a street in Nancheng, with a total length of more than 1000 meters. There are many alleys in the north and south. At the same time, there are many poor people living here, and these poor people are divided into three groups. Lao Liu and his group are among them. One, and the weakest one.

If Wang Kuo came forward to discuss with the leaders of the other two groups, he might have to waste a lot of words, but with Lao Liu coming forward, he would be able to relax a lot, and Lao Liu is a kind of person like them, and it is easier to get these people trust.

After explaining that he would come here again in an hour, and asked Lao Liu to bring the leaders of the other two groups here, Wang Kuo took Xiao Dezi and another subordinate out of the slum, but he was going to visit the place. In the capital city of the Tianming Dynasty, I was looking for a restaurant to have a meal by the way, filling up my already somewhat empty Wu Zang Temple.

An hour is not long, and it is two hours when converted, so when Wang Kuo and the others came here once after eating, although an hour did not arrive, more than an hour and a half passed. I saw Lao Liu and two other poor leaders waiting here.

Although the poor are weak, they know how to report to the group to keep warm, because only in this way can they continue to survive in a weak situation, so they will be more trusting and convinced of the leaders they have elected.

Therefore, when the other two leaders agreed to Wang Kuo's recruitment, the recruits under him changed from more than 50 people to a team of nearly 300 people. At this time, it was just over two hours before he left the palace. It was just past noon.

Of course, the reason why things are progressing so smoothly is because Lao Liu clearly informed the other two leaders that as long as their subordinates are willing to join Jinyiwei, then they can collect the salaries of this group of people like him in the future .

For example, if a person's monthly salary is ten Wen, they can each receive one or two Wen. Based on the number of people, their income is definitely not low, and this is still a long-term solution. Instead of defrauding the group of people under his command, he found a better life for them, such a simple and conscientious way to get rich, the only ones who disagree are fools.

Lao Liu and two other leaders were mobilized again to help publicize and find other poor people to join in the slums of Beicheng. Wang Kuo also paid 15 taels of silver for this, and each of the three people was five taels.

If you want the horses to run fast, you have to feed the horses. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, so even if he is not too rich now, he still gave them five taels of silver. Tell them that as long as they finish well, they will be rewarded with five taels of silver each when they come back.

Encouraged by the reward, the old Liu and the others were full of energy, and rushed to the north city under the huge sun without even thinking about it.

The old Liu and the others were going to Beicheng to complete the tasks assigned to them by Wang Kuo, and he also had his own things to do, so he arranged for Xiao Dezi to follow the old Liu and let him wait for the young and middle-aged men in Beicheng to be recruited. Take those young and middle-aged men to the designated place to wait for him, while the other eunuch was sent out directly by Wang Kuo. After all, there are quite a few young and middle-aged men under the command of the two leaders, and he needs to take these young and middle-aged men who have just joined Go find the people from the previous batch.

Leaving himself alone, Wang Kuo also walked out of the slums, and began to get busy in the capital with a purpose.

for what purpose?
Of course it's for the money.
