Chapter 69 Recruitment
Ding Yi was prudent in his work. He asked some knowledgeable people such as innkeepers in Qionglai County, and verified what Song Tongsheng said was true.Then he showed up directly at the Qionglai County Yamen, and with the help of the magistrate, arrested the inspector and everyone in Zhaojia Village.

Nazhi County originally wanted to make friends with Ding Yi, and meet the nobleman behind him by the way, but although Ding Yi is inconspicuous behind Huo Jing, he is also the king of Hades that everyone can't offend. Ding Yi said, "When you need to come forward When the time comes, the young master will naturally show up." He left the county office.

The county magistrate of Qionglai County was originally an official who passed the imperial examination. Because his family had no foundation, he was sent to be the county magistrate in an unknown place, Qionglai County, Shu County, Yizhou.

Originally, he had given up on his official career, but who knew that just when he was about to give up, a great nobleman came to this little-known town.

"Dong Weng, great joy!" The master cupped his hands to congratulate the county magistrate, and the young county magistrate Chen Wenshui also changed from his usual indifference, with a scorching light in his eyes.

Power is intoxicating, but if there is a chance, no one will miss it.As a parent here, he always feels that there is nowhere to display his ambitions. At this moment, a great opportunity may come, even if it is only possible, the indifference of the past will disappear in an instant, and the flame of desire will be ignited.

"Dong Weng, do you want to send someone to investigate? Know yourself and your enemy..."

"Shut up!" Chen Wenshui sternly refused, "Is it possible for you and me to spy on those noble people? They must have a plan when they come to our remote place, so we just wait. If it is because of my carelessness, If you offend the nobleman, you may not even be able to secure the position of magistrate. At this time, our eyes will be darkened, and it is better to be quiet than to move."

"Dong Weng Gaoming!" The master was flattering, but Chen Wenshui had already thought about it.But a general is so extraordinary, this nobleman must be more powerful than the nobleman I can imagine.When his chance came, Chen Wenshui clenched his hands behind his back tightly, his body trembling slightly, far less calm than what he said to the master.

Ding Yi came back and told Huo Jing and Lu Weimang all the news he had inquired about. Huo Jing nodded, "Since Song Tongsheng asks for it, let him have a chance to get the three black armored guards to come with him, Then find some people in the countryside, form a caravan of ten people, and let Song Tongsheng lead the team. When they come back, I believe there will be a clear situation."

Ding Yi took the order to go, selected people, informed Song Tongsheng, and gave him some money to buy the commodities he traded in Muya Grassland.Ding Yi completely followed Huo Jing's instructions and asked the three black armored guards accompanying the team to ignore everything and listen to Song Tongsheng. This was a test for Song Tongsheng and a field investigation of this business route.

When Ding Yi finished his work and came back to his command, Lu Weimang was eating with Huo Jing in the house.

In the past few days, when nothing happened, Huo Jing and Lu Weimang always ate in the lobby of the inn, trying to get more people to pay attention to them. At this time, they were eating in the room uncharacteristically. Ding Yi was keenly aware that the two should There is something to discuss, so after a brief report, he dutifully guarded outside the door.

In the room, Lu Weimang also had something to discuss with Huo Jing as Ding Yi guessed.

"I have some vague ideas, and I want to tell you. People in the field, such as Song Tongsheng, are familiar with the route, or there are many people who are familiar with the common sense of survival in the wild. There are also some people who put loyalty first and are very appealing in the countryside. .

It is too difficult for us to search for them by ourselves. We must promise great profits, or catch them with fame and wealth, so that they can stand up on their own initiative.So, my idea is to hold a recruiting meeting half a month later, and anyone with a skill can occupy a place in the caravan we are about to set up.

It is inevitable that talented people will be proud of their talents, so we will pass the test, compare one, two, three, let them compete with each other, we will choose the best from the best, and choose the best to form a caravan team.As long as we set up the shelf of the caravan and leave the rest to time, our mission is considered complete.When the first batch of goods from the caravan returns to the city, it will be the time when our checkpoint is established for the first time to collect taxes. "

After Huo Jing heard this, the look in his eyes was piercing, which made Lu Weimang couldn't help turning his eyes away.When he turned his gaze back again, Huo Jing had restrained his emotions, and nodded to Lu Weimang, "When you talk about doing things, you are very clever. In other respects, you are clumsy and maddening."

Lu Weimang nodded calmly, "No one is perfect, it's normal."

Huo Jing stared at Lu Weimang, "I will do as you said. However, if we want to hold this event, we need to create some momentum. In this way, I will let Ding Yi and Lin Chen go to Shu County in a while, and send Shu The horses in the county camp first mobilized a batch of emergency. After all, we formed a caravan, and horses are the foundation. Then we built a high arena on the most prosperous street in the county, and finally took out some prizes to inform everyone of the rules. Competitions on the arena, such as terrain knowledge competitions, equestrian skill competitions, and force competitions, as long as there is one thing that is different from ordinary people, one skill, you can get the lottery we prepared in advance."

Huo Jing slowly thought about the plan, and Lu Weimang added from the side, "What are you going to give as a prize? Silver taels? Jewelry?"

Huo Jing smiled, "Of course it's good things that they can't refuse. Men love BMWs. We can bring out ten horses as rewards for the previous few days. First come, first served. Besides BMWs, there are also treasures. "

As he spoke, Huo Jing took out a brocade box from his carry-on package, opened it, and saw that it was shining brightly, and it was a rare treasure.

Huo Jing took out one of the night pearls and handed it to Lu Weimang, "These were originally selected from His Majesty's private treasury and prepared for you. Didn't I say that I would reimburse you? So, these things are handed over to you, you Let's see."

Lu Weimang glanced at it and didn't pay attention at first, but now he heard Huo Jing say that it was for himself, so he couldn't help but take it.These jewels look glamorous from a distance, but their fineness is even more fascinating when viewed up close.Lu Weimang was a little bit reluctant, taking out all the good things right now, isn't it too full.

Under Huo Jing's eyes, Lu Weimang hugged the brocade box in his arms with some embarrassment, "It's not good to give them such a good thing as soon as it is opened. How should I reward it? And if such a good thing falls into the eyes of an ignorant person, wouldn’t it be a waste of money? It’s better to use my things as a lottery. Wait a moment, and I’ll show you.”

After Lu Weimang finished speaking, he returned to his room with the brocade box in his arms, put down the brocade box, and took all his packages directly to Huo Jing's room.

Seeing Huo Jing looking straight at him, Lu Weimang was a little ashamed, "I'm not greedy for money, but I just think that all the people participating in the competition are big men. These precious pearls are cast in secret, and my heart hurts. Look, the things I took out, It's no worse than that box of jewels."

As she spoke, she took out the things in her bag.There is a hundred-year-old ginseng specially prepared by Steward Lu, just to save Lu Weimang's life in case of an accident on the road.There are also two boxes of jewelry heads, and each set consists of 23 pieces. It seems that the jewels produced by the process are not inferior to those produced by Huo Jing.

In fact, the price of what Lu Weimang took out was similar to what Huo Jing took out, but the value was very different.

For example, the ruby, what Huo Jing took out was a crimson gem the size of a baby's fist, and what Lu Weimang took out was a set of finished products.Lu Weimang's face can be bought at any time if he has money, and the gems that Huo Jing takes out are rare.

But just looking at the appearance, Lu Weimang's head has the upper hand.

Seeing Lu Weimang taking his treasure out like a hamster, Huo Jing held Lu Weimang down, "I'm kidding you. That brocade box was originally prepared for you. I still have other prizes here."

Lu Weimang said awkwardly, "It's okay, I still have a lot of these at home. Besides, I can't let you win the lottery alone. You know, I have a lot of money, so don't save money for me."

Lu Weimang said boldly here, Huo Jing teased, "I know you are a famous rich woman in Kyoto, but in terms of financial resources, I have never lost to anyone except Your Majesty, so don't fight with me."

Lu Weimang was surprised, and suddenly realized that the Huo family also had a solid foundation. Lu Weimang looked at the things on the table again, and for a while felt that he was quite stupid to show off his financial resources in front of the God of Wealth. "Then since I took it out, I won't recycle it, you can figure it out."

After finishing speaking, Lu Weimang tied his bag and threw it on his back, "It's getting late today, I have other ideas, I will discuss and supplement tomorrow, and I will leave first." After speaking, he pretended to be He walked out of Huo Jing's room calmly.

Huo Jing vaguely saw Lu Weimang's red face in embarrassment, and suppressed a smile. After Lu Weimang went out, he returned to his room. When the sound of stomping and lamenting came, he finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Although I have seen Lu Weimang several times since I was a child, she always has a calm and nonchalant expression. It is rare to see her showing the embarrassment of her little daughter at this moment, which makes Huo Jing feel good.

After a while, Huo Jing suppressed the smile on his face and called Ding Yi and Lin Chen outside the door to come over.

Today Ding Yi and Lin Chen stood guard at the door, seeing the rare peaceful atmosphere between the young master and Lu Weimang, they were a little relieved, Lu Weimang went back and forth in and out of the room, and the two of them also tried their best to be invisible, not to spoil the rare good atmosphere between the two.

In fact, after departing from the capital, the young master and Lu Weimang either did not speak, or sulked, and the atmosphere of getting along was tense.

As Huo Jing's personal bodyguard, Ding Yi and Lin Chen suffered greatly from the conflict between the two, so every time the two were alone, they were a little nervous.

I didn't expect to see a faint smile on the young master Wannian's indifferent face when he came in this time.The two looked at each other, sure in their hearts.

"You go find someone tomorrow, and build a high platform in the busiest street..."

Huo Jing ignored the exchange of eyebrows and eyes of the two subordinates, and gave orders directly.

"Yes, young master!"

The two took the lead.
