Strolling Around the City
Just like that, I led the team to train until the fourth of April. That night, after I led the team to run exercises. I stood on the stage and said to all the soldiers below,"In the future, my six guards will lead everyone in training. Whether everyone had improved or not, they would know in another month. At the end of this month, I will come to watch your tri-monthly squad leader and captain challenge competition. I hope that you will enthusiastically sign up. In addition, I will select 6,000 of your most elite warriors to form my own guards. The current guards were formed last year to take care of my father. After my father passed away, they were disbanded. In the future, the Imperial Guards will only listen to me and will not have to participate in any duties such as guarding the fields. Moreover, their pay was double that of ordinary soldiers. Do you want to join my guards?”
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The soldiers answered in unison. Everyone knows that the current Fan brothers, Xue Yi, and Chen Heng were promoted from my army. Joining my army means the fastest opportunity to level up, the best treatment, and the best chance to make a name for yourself.
The next day, I arrived at the prefect's manor early in the morning. He sent someone to call Zheng Hun over. The two of them drank tea while waiting for Liu Kai to arrive. When it was almost noon, the guards came to report that a group of people had requested to meet them. I asked the guards to inform them to come in.
Soon, Liu Kai came in with twenty people. "I am Liu Kai. Greetings, Military Advisor.”Liu Kai bowed to me. "No need to be polite. Who are these people behind you?”I nodded and asked Liu Kai.
"These are the best ironsmiths in our village. I guess the military counselor asked me to come here for my profession. I'm afraid that I can't do it alone, so I asked them to help me.”Liu Kai raised his head and said to me.
"Good! He was indeed smart. Let me introduce you to the world-renowned weaponsmith, Zheng Hun. This is the blacksmith I mentioned to you, Liu Kai. You guys should get to know each other.”After the group of people met each other.
I said to them,"Just as everyone thought, I invited everyone here to forge the best weapons. All of you should have heard of my purpose. Only with the best public security can the people live and work in peace and contentment.”I saw everyone nod in agreement.
"I've already forged a scimitar with Master Zheng, ready to equip the cavalry." This item will greatly increase the agility and lethality of the cavalry. I'm asking Master Zheng to take in more disciples so that Mister Liu can continuously refine the best iron for me. I want to be able to produce 20,000 of these scimitars in three years. I now appoint Zheng Hun as the chief weaponsmith in my army, and he will enjoy a salary of 300 large coins every year. Liu Kai was the Chief Ironsmith and enjoyed a salary of 300 large coins every year. The rest of them would receive a salary of 100 large coins every year. You can continue with your business, but you have to put the scimitars I want first. Also, I heard that there's Millennium Meteoric Iron somewhere in the South Sea. There are two materials called 'Chromium', which are very good for forging weapons. I will send people to buy them back slowly. I hope that everyone here can do their best to help me.”
"Our salary has already exceeded that of an ordinary county magistrate, yet you treat us like this. We are willing to die for you!" Everyone answered in unison. "Mister Liu, you should bring these people back to continue smelting iron. I'll ask the Mayor of Shixin to send someone to escort your refined iron every time. Master Zheng, you can put up a notice tomorrow saying that you want to take in a disciple to teach you your skills before the closing of the mountain. I hope that you can take in more than 20 disciples before October this year.”I smiled at Liu Kai and Zheng Hun. "Yes! We'll take our leave." Everyone left after saying that.
Taishi Ci returned in the afternoon. As soon as I entered the hall of the prefect's manor, he said to me,"Advisor Jun, I failed. A few days after I entered the mountain, I was discovered and chased out. He didn't find anything. Please punish me, Military Advisor!" "What crime? At least you've told me the most important piece of news.”I shook my head.
"Oh right, Ziyi, if you have nothing to do these two days, you can walk around the city. What could he do to help the commoners?”I told Taishi Ci. "Understood!" Taishi Ci left after saying that.
After Taishi Ci left, I pulled Kitten along and went shopping. Now that they were walking in the city, they felt as if they had become smaller. The two of them walked and stopped. Along the way, this little girl displayed her shopaholic nature and bought a lot of things.
Unknowingly, we arrived at the entrance of the Immortal Tavern. I said to the kitten,"Shall we go in and sit?" "No, I still have a lot of things to buy.”Kitten shook her head and said to me. "Then hang around for a while. Don't go far. I'll go in and sit.”I said to the kitten with a smile. The kitten smiled and ran out.
The moment I entered the lobby, I saw a sea of people. Business seemed to be very good! Guo Tu nodded at me when he saw me. A few of the soldiers inside also saw me and nodded. I looked around for a long time and there seemed to be no seats. I walked to Guo Tu and said,"Shopkeeper, business is too good today and there are no seats. Send a few dishes to my house later!”Guo Tu quickly said,"I'm sorry, sir. I'll send it over personally later."”
What we didn't expect was that many of the diners asked,"Shopkeeper, you can also send it out. Then we'll have to deliver it next time too. It's too tiring to keep coming over and not be able to find a seat.”"Alright, sir. As long as you pay first like this customer, we will send it over later.”Guo Tu quickly said to the customers below. (A casual sentence from me caused the business of the station to rise by four levels. I didn't expect this myself.)
I went out to the jewelry store and found a kitten staring at a pair of bracelets in a daze. I stood behind her and asked the shopkeeper,"How much is this pair of bracelets?" " A hundred coins," the shopkeeper replied. The kitten turned around and saw me,"It's done so quickly?"”"Yes, do you like it? I'll buy it for you." I smiled at the cat. "It's too expensive. Let's go back." The little cat said to me sourly.
"Miss, if you really like it, we can discuss the price.”The shopkeeper quickly said to the kitten after hearing our conversation. It seems that the shopkeeper doesn't know me. If he knew me, he wouldn't have said that he could give me a discount so late. Recently, there were also many shops in the city.
I said to the shopkeeper,"I'll give you eighty-eight big coins. I don't want any more."”"This seems to be a little low. I don't even have enough to cover the cost.”The shopkeeper shook his head.
"Shopkeeper, if the cost of your jade bracelets is higher than fifty-five big coins, then you can buy them. I'll cut off my own hand. Don't play this game with me. If it wasn't for my good sister liking it, I wouldn't even look at your things. Eighty-eight big coins is for a good chance.”I said to the shopkeeper angrily.
"Hehe, hehe! Young Master is really an expert. Then we have a deal." The shopkeeper laughed dryly. I took out a hundred coins and handed it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper gave me 12 big coins, so I gave it to the kitten. Then, he picked up the jade bracelet and helped the kitten put it on.
Just as we were about to leave, someone came in and shouted when he saw me,"Lord Military Advisor, it's great to meet you here.”I looked up and didn't seem to know him."You are…"
"I used to be your subordinate. After the Battle of Shouchun, you disbanded my troops and let me live in Jian An City. I was originally living a difficult life, but ever since you encouraged us to open up wasteland and rented houses for us at a low price, I have been living in peace. The little one's life was slowly getting better. The spring planting this year is done. I sold a pig I raised today and planned to buy something here to give to my wife.”That person respectfully said to me.
"Alright, you have to live well in the future. By the way, what's your name?" I asked that person. "My name is Jin Bao." That person said to me. Just as I was about to reply, I heard a voice behind me."You're the military counselor. I didn't recognize you. I earned more money from you just now. I'll return it to you now.”I turned around and said to the shopkeeper,"Don't refund the money. I hope you can earn less money from the poor people in the future." That's the right thing to do."
"Military Advisor, please wait a moment. I didn't know you were here just now. I have a few treasures here that I want to show you. The waiter called out to the subordinates of this military counselor and sold them to him at the capital price.”The shopkeeper said to me. Jinbao thanked me loudly after hearing that! I nodded and pulled Xiao Mao into the inner hall with the shopkeeper.
After passing through a house and turning a corner, they arrived at a room. After we sat down, two servants served us tea. The shopkeeper went into the room to get something. Not long after, the shopkeeper and two servants came out with a few things. After the shopkeeper took it out, he said to me,"This is the Shadow Green Coiled Dragon Pillow. It can be used as a pillow to cool off the summer heat." This was a three-colored warrior figurine, and this was a jade talisman that could ward off evil spirits. This was the jade book of Zen, this was the bronze dragon head divine beast, and this was the dragon head divine beast. This was a real luminous pearl, and there were two armors here. One was called the Vajra Armor, which was said to be the armor of the God of War Vajra, and the other was called the Five-Colored Armor, which was said to be worn by Nu Wo when she mended the sky.”"How much?" I asked the shopkeeper.
"The Green Shadow Coiled Dragon Pillow is 1,560 copper coins. The three-colored warrior figurines cost 1,680 coins. Yu Bi Xie was one thousand three hundred and forty coins; One thousand five hundred and forty coins for the jade book of Zen Land; 1,870 copper coins for the Bronze Dragon-headed Divine Beast; Luminous Pearls: 3,280 copper coins; Diamond Armor, 3,560 copper coins; The Five-colored Armor was worth 3,880 copper coins.”The shopkeeper said to me. "I want them all. How much is the total?”I said to the shopkeeper. "A total of 18,710 copper coins. Advisor Jun, I will charge you 18,000 copper coins.”The shopkeeper said to me. "Alright, I don't have that much cash on me. Send someone to deliver the things to my residence, and I'll give you money at home.”I said to the shopkeeper. "Alright! You go first, I'll send someone to send it to you later.”The shopkeeper said to me. Kitten and I left the jewelry store and went straight back to the residence.
