Chapter 71: Expanding strength

"Bang, bang, bang."

In front of the palace gate, the manager under Li Ke rang with a gong and said, "Dear fellow villagers, our kind King of Wu, seeing that you have suffered from disaster, I decided to give you a way out.

Our King of Wu and the little gods in heaven and earth have opened a ready-made garment workshop. Now we are short of some staff, and we have the best girl. After receiving the things from the prince and the King of Wei, we can come to my place to register."

"Bang, bang, bang."

The manager beat the gong a few more times and said, "Our King of Wu not only cares about food and accommodation, but also pays wages. With wages, you don't have to worry about livelihood issues after the beginning of spring."

The people whispered and heard it vaguely: "Your Highness of the King of Wu is such a good person!"

People A: "Yes! Although the rice and grain from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is enough to eat for a while, it will not be enough to last until the beginning of next spring."

People B: "Yes, the rice and grain distributed by the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Wei can only solve our temporary difficulties, but not a long-term solution."

People C: "Yes, yes, yes, if I always come to receive these reliefs, I can't take off my old face. It's better for His Royal Highness the King of Wu to do this. We will work and work hard to change some food, so we will feel at ease when we eat."

People B spat at People C and said, "Old Man Sun, haven't you heard the person in charge say that we female relatives? Do you know how to be a female lover?"

The old man Sun's face turned red with shame, and he didn't hold up a word for a long time.

After a long time, the old man Sun shouted at the manager under Li Ke: "This manager, their female relatives have work to do, what about us big men?"

When the manager heard this, he first rang a few gongs, "Bang, bang, bang, bang," and said, "Don't worry, fellow villagers, our Prince of Wu and the little god have already thought about this. I wonder if you have heard of the name of Weiyuan Escort Agency?"

Some people said they knew, while others said they didn’t.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang," the people calmed down.

"It doesn't matter if you know it. This Weiyuan Escort Agency is run by our little gods. If you have some martial arts skills or have been on the battlefield, you can go to the Weiyuan Escort Agency to register. I heard that the lowest wage there is five staples per month."

Hearing this, Li Ke looked back at Yi Fan and said, "Ping An, you are robbing my reputation."

Yi Fan said disapprovingly: "If you have a way to place all these people, you can ignore me."

Li Ke was immediately discouraged.

After collecting the things, the people here hurriedly returned to Li Ke's side and began to sign up to go to the garment workshop to do work.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke and Yi Fan deeply, and then he stopped distributing things to the people himself, and handed over the matter to his subordinates.

At the same time, rumors began to spread about Chang'an County Magistrates.

In a restaurant, two people were drinking and sitting there. One of them said, "This heavy snow has made the people of Chang'an suffer."

Another person interjected: "That's not true! But I heard that our Chang'an County Magistrate stayed in the brothel last night, until it was almost noon, and the people in the county government found the county magistrate."

At this time, a diner on the table next to him also came over and said, "You two don't know. I was in that brothel at that time. Our county magistrate seemed to have not yet sobered up. He said at that time, but he just died of mud legs. Why are you so panicking?"

Cui Bao was furious at the Chang'an County Government at this time.

With a "bang", a tea bowl broke in the center of the lobby of the county government.

Cui Bao roared angrily: "This must be the rumor made by Yi Fan. I heard that he dealt with Buddhism this way last time, and this time he wanted to use the same tricks on me again."

Chang'an County Magistrate Liu Neng quickly entered the lobby, bypassed the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and reported to Cui Bao: "County Master, I have opened the granary of the county government for almost an hour. No disaster-stricken people have come to collect grain. Please ask the county master to give me some advice. How should I do it?"

When Cui Bao heard this, he became even more angry and knocked over the inkstone and said angrily: "Didn't you say you were hit by the disaster? Now that the county has opened all the granaries, why don't these victims come to collect the food?"

Liu Neng glanced at Cui Bao contemptuously, then quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and replied, "His Royal Highness of the King of Wu and Yi Fan from the Heaven and Earth have already settled the victims.

Another victim came to the granary and did not receive food. He just said, even if they starved to death, they would not eat a grain of food you gave me."

"It's these two people again, it seems that they sincerely want to go against me."

At this moment, a yamen runner entered the lobby. When Cui Bao saw the visitor, he waved to Liu Neng and asked him to retreat.

When the yamen runner saw Liu Neng walking away, he reported to Cui Bao: "County Master, today the Weiyuan Escort Agency has collected two or three hundred young men and entered it.

With the previous personnel, there are probably about 400 people under their jurisdiction, and they all possess martial arts. Just now, the Weiyuan Escort Agency customized a batch of swords from major blacksmith shops in Chang'an City."

Cui Bao suddenly laughed wildly: "Haha, okay, it's a good decision, Yi Fan, Yi Fan, you are really a little expert looking for death. When you get these swords, it will be the day you will receive the head."

At this time, Yi Fan was instructing Yi Yun: "Let your people find out which children have become orphans in this snow disaster.

Then ask them if they are willing to join you. Remember not to force them. If they are unwilling, you can send them some money and food.

If you want, send them secretly out of the city, find a safe and difficult place to detect, place them well, and teach them something when you have time."

"Yes, brother, I'll do it now."

After Yi Yun left, Yi Fan couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, it's really hard to survive in this world."

The next morning court.

Wei Zheng came out and said, "I will call on the emperor to ask for me for the King of Wu. During this snow disaster, His Highness of the King of Wu made great contributions and eliminated the snow disaster invisibly. The emperor should reward him."

Li Shimin seemed to be in a good mood. Looking at Wei Zheng, he said to him, "Wei Aiqing, I remember a few days ago, you impeached Ke'er and competed for profit with the people. He was inappropriate to do business as a prince.

As far as I know, this time Ke'er was able to resettle the victims so easily, all depends on the way of merchants. Why did Wei Aiqing ask for credit for him?"

Wei Zheng still had a stern face and said, "I am just talking about the matter. To this day, I still oppose His Highness the King of Wu to humble his identity and do that kind of stinking thing."

Li Shimin suddenly felt that chatting with Wei Zheng was boring.

Changsun Wuji also gave a speech: "Master, the prince and the King of Wei have also contributed a lot to this matter, and they should also reward them together."

After saying that, Changsun Wuji glanced at Xiao Yu, who was still alive, and said in his heart: "I didn't know that this Yi Fan was a member of the Hundred Family, I should have asked Chengqian to make friends with him, but now I have asked Li Ke to get a bargain."
