Rebirth in another world as a fake eunuch

Chapter 9
"With His Majesty's approval, I was asked to set up Jinyiwei, so I am also planning to find a few trustworthy people to recruit people outside the palace to share my worries. How many of you are willing?"

"The subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for your lord, and you will not hesitate to ask your lord to express it clearly."

Upon hearing this, Wang Kuo and the other five people quickly knelt down on one knee to show their loyalty.

"Well, this matter is of great importance. While you continue to try your best to recruit people, you must also pay attention to whether these people are loyal or not. Li Jin, you are responsible for recruiting people for the Nanzhen Fusi. At least 500 people are required. The more the better, the number of people After being recruited, they will be taken to the Dongcheng camp for training."

"By the way, there are some clothes for you, including a saber and a waist card. With a waist card, you can enter and leave the palace unimpeded during the duty period. You should wear this set of luggage when you go out of the palace for errands in the future. "

Everyone followed the direction of Sun Deqiang's finger, and they saw several sets of clothes, sabers and waist tags neatly placed on the table not far away.

"Yes, my subordinate obeys." An eunuch on the far left knelt on one knee and responded respectfully. After Sun Deqiang waved his hand, he went to a table not far away to claim a set of luggage, and retreated. .

"Wang Kuo, you are responsible for recruiting Jinyiwei in the Gyeonggi area. The minimum number of people required is more than 1000. The more the better, bring them to the Dongcheng camp for training."

"Your Excellency, this subordinate obeys." Wang Kuo also took a step forward and knelt down on one knee when he heard this, and said respectfully.And following Sun Deqiang's wave, he also took his own bag and retreated out.

Wang Kuo, who exited the room, didn't know how the rest of the people would arrange it, but he already had a task, so he had to take care of his own first. As for other people's tasks, although curious, they were not too important up.

Back at his residence, Wang Kuo simply tidied up, then called Xiao Dezi and two other eunuchs, and a group of four went out of the palace with the tokens they got from Sun Deqiang.

The palace was very big, so Wang Kuo and the others went through more than ten investigations and walked for more than three hours before they walked out of the gate of the palace. Especially Wang Kuo saw the world outside the palace for the first time.

On both sides of the gate of the imperial palace, there are more than 30 sergeant handles. The huge gate is densely covered with steel nails, and the erected city wall is nearly ten meters high.

Everything here is dignified and majestic, and there is no one within a hundred meters away, forming a vacuum, but beyond a hundred meters, what is visible to the naked eye is a bustling scene.

There was an endless stream of people coming and going, shouting vendors everywhere, countless carriages and sedan chairs, some dignitaries and dignitaries in brocade clothes, and ordinary people in plain linen clothes...

"Oh, it really is a scene of peace and prosperity."

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Wang Kuo couldn't help sighing. If he hadn't known some things about the Tianming Dynasty after a few months of understanding, Wang Kuo might really think that he had come to a prosperous dynasty.

However, the cruel reality is that the Tianming Dynasty has constant internal and external troubles. There are many rich people and more poor people. Although this place is prosperous, there are also many slums in this big capital city, and there are countless alien races outside. Because of the Tianming Dynasty's self-abolishment of martial arts, it is eye-catching.

"Let's go, take me to the nearest slum."

Wang Kuo lost interest after just a few glances. Looking at this place is more like looking at foreign scenery. The prosperity is not as good as modern high-rise buildings. Only those antique buildings can be seen as a scenic spot. .

"Yes, the prince..."

"When you leave the palace in the future, remember to call my lord, or lord Wang!" Before his subordinates finished speaking, Wang Kuo suddenly looked over indifferently, and the ruthless eyes immediately frightened the eunuch, nodding his head and trembling in response.

"Lead the way ahead." Wang Kuo waved his hand directly as he was not looking at the terrified eunuch anymore.

"Yes, my lord."

There is a saying in this world, called Dongquan, Xigui, Nanmin, Beishang.

Among them, there are mostly poor people in the south city and the north city, while the east city is the place where dignitaries and dignitaries live, such as the officials of the current dynasty, this lord, the prince of the country, etc. As for the Xigui, it is the squires. Big households and some dignitaries, but not as many as in Dongcheng...

Under the guidance of Xiao Dezi and other three subordinates, Wang Kuo quickly came from the gate of the palace to a well-known poor street in Nancheng.

Poor Street is also called Hugong Street. According to legend, it was the place where some Hu Gong lived in the previous dynasty, but now it is reserved for these poor people.

"My lord, this is Hugong Street, and the people living in it are some poor people and some thieves."

After Xiao Dezi came to the intersection, he also stopped quickly, turned his head and said respectfully to Wang Kuo.

"Well, let's go in."

In fact, Xiao Dezi didn’t need to say, Wang Kuo already knew that this was a slum, looking at all kinds of poor people inside, each of them was pale, their clothes were torn, and he could smell the stench coming from somewhere nearby. Wang Kuo couldn't help but nodded with a serious expression.

He is not a soft-hearted person, but when he saw these people in front of him, he still couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness, not for anything else, just for those very young children, whose childhood time is full of There was fear and malice, and the expressionless eyes made people heartbroken.

"Hey, outsiders, what are you doing here?"

Not far away, a young man who looked better dressed suddenly stopped the four of them. The vigilance in his eyes clearly told Wang Kuo and the others that this place was very exclusive.

"Bold, this is our Lord Wang. If you dare to speak so rudely to him, do you want to die?"

Hearing the young man's words, before Wang Kuo could react, one of the eunuchs under him could not bear to reprimand him first, but Wang Kuo didn't stop him, until the eunuch finished reprimanding him, he waved his hand indifferently, Like the young man said.

"I am a thousand households of Jinyiwei. I am here under our command and envoy. Whoever has the final say here, go and inform me, and tell him that I have something to ask him."

For these people in front of him, Wang Kuo doesn't feel sorry for anyone except children, and he will not be used to people like this young man.

What's more, Wang Kuo also understands that if these people are not given a warning, it will be difficult to do things, especially for these poor people, sometimes the more they reprimand them like that little eunuch, the easier it is for these people to be afraid. There are those who are in charge, according to the habit of human beings living in groups, there will definitely be ones.

"Jinyiwei?" The young man frowned when he heard the words, obviously he hadn't heard of this official position, or a position for so many years!But looking at Wang Kuo and the others with knives on their waists and brocade clothes, they were obviously not ordinary people, so he hesitated.

"Wait for me first, I'll go and ask for you."

"Bold, our lords came here in person. If you don't say no, hurry up and greet us. How dare you make us wait? I think you really want to die."

When the three eunuchs heard the words, their voices turned cold, and they drew out their knives and were about to strike, which also frightened the young man for a moment.

He didn't know that this group of so-called brocade guards were just eunuchs who had just come out of the palace. that piece of meat?

And this is why many eunuchs suddenly became tyrannical after gaining power, because their psychology has already been hindered.

"Forget it, go and come back quickly, don't affect my business."

Wang Kuo was not a serious eunuch, so he didn't have any psychological barriers. All he was thinking about was how to run his errands well, so he naturally wouldn't make things difficult for this young man.

Seeing Wang Kuo waving his hand very graciously, the young man escaped and ran into the street at a brisk pace.

In fact, many people feel that the poor are troublemakers, and they ignore the imperial power, etc. In fact, although there are many such people, they are more afraid of the imperial power.

Because of the fear in his heart, the young man was very fast, and he walked out quickly accompanied by a group of people in just a moment.

"Third uncle, this is the Lord Qianhu of the Jinyiwei that I told you about." The young man pointed to Wang Kuo and introduced to an old man in the crowd who seemed to be five or sixty years old.

"It turned out that the adults from Jinyiwei's Thousand Households arrived. The little old man felt lost and greeted him, and hoped that the adults would make amends." The old man was very polite, and he did not show contempt for Wang Kuo because of his youth. Instead, he led a group of people to kneel on the ground A big gift was made.

"Please hurry up, old man. I'm not an adult, I'm just doing business for the emperor, and the reason why I came here today is because of the emperor's order, and I still need your help, old man."

Seeing this, Wang Kuo hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man, and after the old man got up, he shouted to the kneeling crowd: "Everyone, get up, I was ordered to come here today to recruit soldiers, and the soldiers recruited are the so-called soldiers. Jin Yiwei, all my citizens of Tianming, young and strong, can be naturalized, and from then on they will eat the royal rations and receive their salary."

"This..." The group of poor people included young ones and some older ones. Although many of them showed excited expressions when they heard Wang Kuo's words, they couldn't help but cast their eyes on the old man at the front.

Eating imperial food is like an iron rice bowl. Although it cannot guarantee their wealth, it can solve the problem of food and clothing, and it is the kind of official errand who goes out and walks sideways. It would be a lie to say that they are not tempted.

"It seems that the ancients did not deceive me. No matter whether they are poor or rich, they all existed in the form of a family or an organization in ancient times, and the patriarch controlled the life and death of these people." Wang Kuo sighed secretly in his heart, but with a bright smile on his face, he said to the old man.

"Old man, do you think we can take a step to talk?"

"My lord, please." The old man observed Wang Kuo indiscriminately, and he didn't see anything inside or outside, but he knew one thing, that is, he couldn't afford to offend him, so he nodded in agreement and took Wang Kuo with him. Kuo walked to an open space and said, "My lord, do you have any orders for the little old man?"

"Ma Ma Pi, keep pretending!" I had clearly said it so clearly just now, but the old man in front of me was still pretending not to understand, which made Wang Kuo secretly roll his eyes, and he could only speak directly.
