Lu Qian pulled Lu Min's old ox cart and sat at the street opposite the imperial city gate, waiting for the results of Lu Min's 'interview'.
This wait lasts from the rising sun to noon.
After yawning, Lu Qian waved, and a hawker from a wonton stall on the roadside hurriedly came over. Lu Qian casually ordered two large bowls of wontons, and asked the boss to add more spicy oil, and had a hearty meal.
This tastes right.
It should be a serious business of Haojing Baihutang.
Back then, Lu Qian, partnering with Ah Hu, built a series of food stalls in Haojing City, earning extremely huge profits every year.
Unexpectedly, without Lu Qian doing much, the food stall of Baihutang had spread from Haojing to Yincheng, which is more than 10,000 miles away from Haojing.
It can only be said that the business in this market is like weeds.
As long as you scatter a few seeds, they will flourish.
Lu Qian ran over, handed the sea bowl back to the vendor, and selected a dozen extra-large skewers from the barbecue stall nearby.
Beef, mutton, lamb kidneys.
The taste is right too.
There are more than twenty food stalls of various kinds gathered at this street corner, each with a different business.
Lu Qian sat back on the bullock cart, carrying the skewers and feasting, looking at these small vendors thoughtfully. The palace guard had not been able to reach into Yincheng before, so what about the vendors in Baihutang?
"I don't know if they are franchise stores or directly operated stores. If they are directly operated stores, then there should be a node leader responsible for receiving profits and collecting information from the streets."
Lu Qian planned to contact Ah Hu in Haojing later to see if there was anyone available in Yincheng.
What an unexpected surprise.
These days, I am busy helping Le Yi and Le De organize their private army in the military camp outside the city, but I have not noticed that the small vendors on the streets of Yincheng are also mixing their own business.
The sun has moved a little further to the west.
With the sound of "bang", the gate of the imperial city opened with a bang, and a group of people marched out of the imperial city with a guard of honor, holding a staff, an axe, a large banner, and a black umbrella.
Lu Min, who had obviously taken a shower and changed clothes, with his hair combed to a shiny finish, was smiling and sitting on the back of an extraordinary white horse with a three-inch long horn on its forehead, and was wearing a silver suit with the title of a monarch.
Wearing a large black robe with Kunpeng pattern, a sword on his waist, and a gold medal and jade seal hanging on his belt, he walked out surrounded by thousands of guards.
Several eunuchs in purple came to the gate of the imperial city carrying big gongs and beat the gongs to an earth-shattering sound.
"Today there is a great sage named Bai Changqing, who says that Dayin has a superior body and a heavenly heart. He obeys the will of the people, punishes crimes, and seeks the welfare of the people of the world. Therefore, he has traveled thousands of miles to join..."
A young eunuch screamed at the top of his lungs, announcing Lu Min's identity to all directions.
He used extremely gorgeous and even exaggerated rhetoric to boast about Lu Min's martial virtues and unparalleled talents...
Lu Qian was dumbfounded when he heard that Lu Min was actually canonized by the Le family as a first-grade Grand Sima. His official position was equivalent to that of a general or a prime minister. He was responsible for the people of the Le family, mainly the private armies formed by the young masters, and coordinated the expeditions of these private armies.
Dayin.
What kind of enchanting soup did Lu Min pour into Leshi to make her give him such a canonization?
A real first-class Sima!
Because this official position conflicts with the powers of the general, the post of Grand Sima has been vacant in Dayin for many years. For a long time, the Grand Sima's responsibility of coordinating and dispatching the army of the country has been delegated to the General's Office and the Fifth Military Office.
Later, the city defense army and the Wei Mansion divided it up.
Lu Min actually got this job in Xinyin?
Although he can only restrain the newly formed private army of the Young Master, he has no right to interfere with the elite private army that Le Wu has controlled for many years.
But... Le's family has so many young men who are eager to make contributions.
As far as Lu Qian knew these days, his buddies of similar status to Le Yi and Le De had formed at least two to three hundred small teams, and they were all recruiting troops with great enthusiasm and conducting vigorous drills and training.
Among the private armies formed by these two to three hundred small groups, the most prosperous ones include Le Yi and Le De supported by Lu Yi, with a total number of private armies of 30,000 to 40,000 people. There are other smaller private armies.
It's also more than 10,000.
This is millions of private soldiers...
And as the war breaks out in the future, these young men will definitely expand their armies, even if they are like Xiong Taidou in Anping Prefecture, coercing the people and forming a cannon fodder army?
It is possible for these millions of private armies to expand to tens of millions.
After all, if you want to encroach on such a vast territory like Dayin, you have too few soldiers and horses to even take care of the city!
Even if these private armies have a little less combat effectiveness, a little lack of military discipline, and a little bad moral character, their numbers are sufficient. This is a 'huge force' that can scare people when spoken out in one go!
Leshi gave this authority to Lu Min? Gu
Lu Yi stared at Lu Min, curious about what he said and did in front of Leshi...
The proud Lu Min pulled the reins, looked at the old ox cart across the street, and waved to Lu Qian.
Lu Qian pulled the old ox cart and walked over, bowing his hands towards Lu Min: "Congratulations to the Great Sima, congratulations to the Great Sima... The Great Sima has unparalleled talent and learning, and the emperor's grace is so great. This official position is extremely suitable for the Great Sima.
"
Lu Qian coughed lightly and said with a smile: "After becoming the Great Sima, he will definitely be able to rise to the top and be crowned king. It will only be easy to turn around."
Lu Qian looked at Lu Min and said with a "haha" smile: "Young man Le Huo, following the two young masters Le Yi and Le De, has formed a private army of 30,000 men. From now on, I will obey the command of Da Sima. Please also invite me."
Da Sima Duoduo will take care of you."
When it comes to acting, you have to do the whole thing.
In front of thousands of guards, hundreds of honor guards, and so many people at the entrance to the imperial city, Lu Qian calmly took out a few large top-quality gems and handed them to Lu Min.
Lu Min was stunned, blinked his eyes, and took a deep breath.
"Little brother Lehuo, I think you...are really a young talent, worthy of being brought up..."
With a wave of the sleeves of his spacious uniform, the few top-quality gems worth more than 100,000 yuan in Lu Qian's hand disappeared. Lu Min smiled and nodded to Lu Qian: "In that case, tonight, I will be at Da Sima
There is a banquet held in the mansion, you ask Le Yi and Le De to help me post a message and let all the young masters of the Le family who have formed a private army in Yincheng go to the Grand Sima Mansion to attend the banquet."
Lu Min said seriously: "I want to test the talents, learning and character of all the young masters, and use them according to their talents!"
At the gate of the imperial city, several young eunuchs took a deep breath of air-conditioning.
"This Grand Sima is a member of my generation!"
The little eunuchs were also jealous of those sparkling top-quality gems. Of course, the problem was not those gems, but that Lu Yi actually bribed them in public, and Lu Min actually accepted the gems in public without any scruples.
!
On the wall of the imperial city, Yu Sandou clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Lu Min and Lu Qian who were talking in front of the door with a smile.
"greedy?"
"I'm afraid you won't be greedy."
"Tsk, tsk, greed for money is an excellent character. If you are not greedy, who would dare to let you be an official?"
Lu Chen bowed to Lu Min.
Lu Min rode on horseback, head held high and surrounded by people, and headed along the street to his Grand Sima Mansion.
When Xin Yin was first established, everything was kept simple. The so-called Da Sima Mansion was the original Qingping Fangling Mansion. Under the orders of the Le family, the officials in the Fangling Mansion were moving in a hurry, clearing out all the original files and documents, and giving the land to
To Lu Min.
Groups of government officials carried big gongs and walked up and down the streets of Yincheng, announcing to the world the birth of the new Yincheng Sima. They also announced to the world that as long as you have talent and talent,
, Xin Yin City will make special promotions.
Look, a new great sage, Xin Yin, dared to directly give him the position of Sima, allowing him to directly take charge of millions of soldiers and horses... Such a great grace, such a thirst for talents, all sages, you
What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and join Dayin, sweat, sweat and contribute to the great cause of the Le family's rebellion!
It has to be said that Lu Min was directly awarded the post of Grand Sima, which moved the hearts of countless people inside and outside Yincheng.
Many talented people who were still waiting and watching, hesitantly and coyly, began to walk in the direction of the recruitment list.
Lu Qian ran back to Lehe's mansion and kicked Leyi and Lede from the bed.
When Le Yi and Le De heard about Lu Min, they heard that a man who had just joined the army was actually awarded the position of Grand Sima. The two brothers jumped to their feet and made a noise at the same time, and then hurriedly sent out troops to help Man Yin.
I went to the city to find the young masters of the Le family.
From noon to evening, everyone who needed to be notified was finally notified.
At nightfall, Qingping Leyuan, a hall where Leshi used to host banquets to entertain guests during the New Year and Spring Festival in previous years, is brightly lit. Countless lights illuminate the hall like a crystal palace, which is extremely glorious and gorgeous.
Countless pretty maids came and went, delivering all kinds of fruits and wine as if they were flowing.
The young masters of the Le family came over in groups, each with their own thoughts, to attend the welcome banquet for the new Grand Sima.
To be honest, the real elite members of the Le family all followed Le Wu and led the army to Haojing.
Those who stayed behind to form a private army and prepare to attack cities and territories were all the less accomplished playboys of the Le family. In terms of ability, they didn't have much ability, but in terms of temper, each of them had a bigger temper than the other.
.
Thousands of young men gathered together, accompanied by a large group of soliciting hangers-on, thugs, benefactors, lovers, etc. They were in a mess, shouting in all directions.
"Where did Bai Changqing come from? Bah, Bai Changkong's distant cousin? Young Master, what I have looked down upon all my life are those rotten fools who insist on studying... So, Young Master, I have never studied, and I have raised 20,000 yuan."
A multi-person team?”
"Da Sima? Why should he be a Da Sima? Today, Master, I want to give him a good look! Look at me blowing his head off with one punch. This position of Da Sima, you might as well give it to me!"
"Okay, brother, after hearing what you say, I support you... If you don't go back and blow Da Sima's head off, you will be raised by my concubine!"
‘Bang’!
The banquet hadn't even started yet, but dozens of fights had already broken out among the young men.
This scene was really smoky and chaotic to the extreme.
