"Lord Lin, we know you are coming here, but we have been looking forward to you." A large group of elderly people greeted Lin Haoming with smiles.
"This is Nan Ziren, the old guard of Haowen Town. He has been in Haowen Town since he was a child. He has been a guard for almost a hundred years, right?" Yu Zhenghuan introduced with a smile, and it seemed that he was still an old acquaintance.
"It's more than one Jiazi. I've become a doorman at the age of 26. I'm already eighty-eight this year." Nan Ziren made a gesture with a smile.
If you can become the guard of a big town, you must at least practice Qi in the late stage. That is to say, this old man is at least at the seventh level of Qi training at the age of twenty-six. But now so many years have passed, and it is still the peak of Qi training. There has been no breakthrough in the next few decades. However, this is the majority of the cultivators at the bottom.
"Where is another guard?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Hao Yan, I have sent someone to inform you. I really don't know that Master Lin will arrive today. If he had known earlier, we would have prepared early, but I have sent someone to prepare for a reception banquet." Nan Ziren is not bad for being an old guard, so the matter was arranged immediately.
Lin Haoming was greeted in, and at this time he saw that even though it was already evening, there were still many believers coming here to worship.
The entire incense hall is actually very large. When you walk into the door, you will first find a garden corridor, which divides the believers into several ways to guide them to a worship space inside. Then inside is the hall of the Great Hall of the Imperial Palace. There are also side halls on both sides of the hall, and behind the hall. Behind the hall is the hall master's residence and the place where you deal with official affairs on weekdays.
The guards and the Xiangtang guards will only be here on duty and are not stationed on weekdays. After all, the master himself has the highest cultivation level. Lin Haoming is the only foundation-building stage of the Xiangtang. If he can't deal with the enemy, it will be useless no matter how many others there are.
Later, because the leader of the hall left, some places were locked up directly. Now Nan Ziren opened the lock and let Lin Haoming enter it.
"This is the place where the master lives. He only opens it every three days when he finds someone to clean it. This is the key." After Nan Ziren introduced, he handed the key to Lin Haoming.
Niu Qingyun took the initiative to take it over at this time, and Nan Ziren also smiled and nodded at him.
"The master of the hall is here, where is it? Take me to see him." At this moment, a sound full of energy came from outside.
Lin Haoming watched a tall and burly man strode towards him.
"Lord Lin, this is the other guard Hao Yan." Yu Zhenghuan confirmed Lin Haoming's guess at this time.
"This is Lord Lin. Hao Yan, my subordinate, has never greeted him. Please forgive me." Hao Yan came to the front and bowed directly to Lin Haoming.
"No need to be polite, I did not inform you. You have something to do." Lin Haoming said with a smile.
"It's the extreme, it's the extreme." Yu Zhenghuan also nodded and agreed.
Lin Haoming looked at Hao Yan, looking rougher on the outside, but his actual age is probably only in his thirties. He is at the ninth level of Qi training stage. He seems to be just getting ahead of him, and his aura is not very stable. It is okay to have such cultivation at such an age.
"Are both born locally?" Lin Haoming also asked at this time.
"Old Nan is indeed born in Haowen Town. I was born in the next county and married the daughter of the local Cao family. I will stay there." Hao Yan said happily.
In fact, Yu Zhenghuan mentioned two guards on the way before, and even mentioned the two major families in Haowen Town, namely the Nan family and the Cao family. Therefore, if you want to do a good job in Haowen Town, you must also handle the relationship with these two people.
After a walk around, Lin Haoming also took Niu Qingyun to attend the so-called welcoming banquet.
The welcoming banquet was at a restaurant not far away. When Lin Haoming arrived, he found that there were many people here. Obviously, he arrived by himself, and all the well-known local figures came over.
The two guards introduced several people in succession, and they were indeed some of the people with status here, including several cultivators. Most of them were responsible for some industries in Haowen Town. Haowen Town is also close to Mogang County. Therefore, there are several large businesses in Mogang County in the entire town here to refine Mogang Steel. The Magic Steel Industry is also the most important pillar here. At least 30% of people in the city are busy with this matter, and less than thirty miles southeast of the city, there is a large black iron ore, which is also the relatively important reason here.
Lin Haoming also recorded them, and the responsible persons of the two largest families were invited to their deskmates together.
These two are also cultivators, one male and one female. The man is named Hua Haidu, and he is in his seventies or eighties. However, he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties. The other is a woman. Lin Haoming only knows that he is called Mrs. Shen. Both of them also have eight levels of cultivation in the late stage of Qi training. The former is the main manager of Bailiantang, and the latter is the wife of the concubine of the second master of the Shang family.
Whether it is Bailiantang or Shangshi Treasure Refining Hall, they are both the largest weapon refining chambers of commerce in Mogang County. However, even in Mogang County, these two families are just semicolons of Mogang County. Lin Haoming had a brief understanding of it when he came here, and some things were just on the surface. The root of the two chambers of commerce is still in Haoyuan City. As for what else is above Haoyuan City, Lin Haoming doesn't know.
Several people were cheering and drinking at the table. After a while, Lin Haoming found that whether it was the Cao family or the Nan family, they had a little special communication with the two sides. It seems that the two major families in Haowen Town may also have a relationship with these two major forces, but Lin Haoming is not sure about what the relationship is.
After three rounds of drinking, Mrs. Shen, the only woman, had a pretty face and big watery eyes. She looked at Lin Haoming and asked on the initiative: "Master Lin, you are just taking the Niu Guard to take office this time, and there are no fairies around you. Could you choose fairies directly in the local area?"
"I am young and my first time as the hall master. There are really no preparations in many places, and there are no suitable candidates for fairy girls around me. However, the rules of the Hall of Fortune Palace, everything is fine according to the rules. I heard that the simplest one is to directly select two from the Young Academy of Mogang County." Lin Haoming responded.
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she immediately shook her head and said, "Lord Lin, if this is the case, I'm afraid that Master Lin will disappoint you."
"What's wrong?" Lin Haoming asked back as if he was unclear.
Mrs. Shen immediately explained: "Although there are children sent to Haoyuan City from various places in the Young Academy, and after testing and being qualified, they will be assigned to various places for various training, but truly outstanding children will definitely be left in Haoyuan City and can be assigned to the county. If they were not from Mogang County, then the qualification would not be very outstanding. And Lord Lin had already built the foundation at a young age, so he naturally could not be worthy of ordinary people."
