The new newspaper office is still planned to be placed in the slums. To the people in the town, the slums are a mess, a mixed bag of good and bad, and useless.
But people who know this place feel that in addition to its shortcomings, the slums also have advantages that are not available outside.
The first is concealment. Concealment in slums is relatively better than outside, and there are no messy things. Even law enforcement teams rarely enter slums.
Secondly, there is the personnel. Because there is a mixture of good and bad, and there are all kinds of people, there are often talents hidden in the slums that you would not expect.
For example, Xiaoman, who would have thought that the blood of the Thunder Clan would be in the slums?
Although the slum is located in the outermost and most remote area of Manbach Town, the slum is within Manbach Town. It is part of Manbach Town. The population here accounts for two-thirds of Manbach Town and is protected by city walls.
"The Manbach Town tabloid will focus on gossip news from now on and look for talents in this field, preferably the down-and-out talented and beautiful women. Old dog, how old are you this year?"
The first words were not surprising, but the last words made the old guard dog stunned for a moment.
He scratched his head and said with a simple smile: "Twenty-nine or thirty, I can't remember clearly!"
Li Yinguang nodded: "Do you have a wife?"
daughter in law?
Licking his lips subconsciously, the old dog shook his head a little embarrassed: "No!"
"Do you have a crush in Manbach Town?" Li Yinguang continued to ask without wanting to let him go.
After hesitating for a moment, the old dog nodded: "There is one, a widow from the west side of the town. She has a good personality. I have known her for a long time. Every time I come back, I will go to her."
Li Yinguang laughed and said, "Can you marry me back?"
The old dog was stunned for a while, then shook his head: "I don't want to, marry me and suffer hardships with me. It's good like this now. She doesn't have to think about me, and I don't have to think about her. We can get together when we have time. If we die,
I won’t miss it in the future!”
It was said in a free and easy way, with the pride of a prodigal.
The stories of little people may not be very memorable, but there is always something touching in the ordinary. The world is so big, how can there be so many big people, and who is not a small person.
"I'll give you fifty silver cattle coins. You can rob or buy them. Can you get him back?" Li Yinguang asked.
The old dog scratched his head and said, "Yes, but I won't let her stay in the slums. It's unsafe here." It sounded like he felt sorry for the widow.
"come over!"
Li Yinguang waved to the old dog and asked him to come over and whisper in a voice that only two people could hear.
"Do you understand?"
"clear!"
The old dog nodded and walked outside.
Lan Ling asked curiously: "What did you whisper to him?"
Li Yinguang smiled and shook his head: "It's not convenient for me to tell you about men's matters!"
Men's things? Lan Ling's face turned slightly red, thinking that there could be some good things between you men, and it wasn't all dirty things.
The reason why Li Yinguang asked Lao Gou if he had a woman or a lover was because he wanted to employ people and arrange some informants in Manbach Town. He didn't need to do anything too dangerous or inquire about private information, but it happened among ordinary people.
You have to let him know what's going on.
Even if the old dog doesn't have a woman, he will be asked to find one later.
"You are familiar with the slums. Is there anyone you can call someone on the list? The best ones are ruthless, poisonous and capable." Li Yinguang looked at Scarface.
Scarface said: "Yes, there are many people like you said."
"Find a few and bring them back. They must be able to feed them. Don't feed them too little. They can run faster than anyone else when doing errands!" Li Yinguang said.
"OK!"
Scarface understood what Li Yinguang meant. The city owner wanted to raise a few dogs in the slums. The investment in the newspaper office was not too big, but small was too little.
If someone messes up, the loss will not be small.
"You follow Scarface, you are obedient and easy to talk to, but you are dishonest and fix things properly and smooth things over." Li Yinguang said to the other three guards around him.
Nothing should happen in the small newspaper office in Manbach Town, not to mention that Li Yinguang also has Sophia and Lan Ling beside him.
Li Yinguang thought for a moment and asked, "Is it easy to train an assassin?"
Sophia frowned and shook her head: "It's hard to train, especially an outstanding assassin. It's hard to find one in a thousand miles!"
Li Yinguang squinted his eyes and smiled, and said: "Then train me some assassins who are not outstanding. They don't need to be the one-in-a-thousand experts. They just need to know a little bit about assassins and have some experience."
After thinking for a while, he said: "Recruit thirty to fifty half-year-old children, hire them for a long time, and pay them one silver bull coin every month. I will be nearby and find a suitable place for you to train!"
Sophia looked at Li Yinguang, frowned and said: "City Lord, the cost of raising dozens of children is far less cost-effective than finding a good person to come back and do the work."
Li Yinguang shook his head and said: "They don't need to assassinate anyone, but they must receive training in this area so that who is a good person and who is an assassin can be seen at a glance in the future. Prepare for a rainy day. We can't stay in the slums every day in the future."
, but the newspaper office is here, even if it is moved from here, it will still need manpower wherever it is placed."
It is true that Manbach Town is a safe zone for the Iron Armored City Lord, but it is inevitable that darkness will hide in a bright place, and it will be dark under the lamp. If you don't harm others, you can't help but prevent others from harming yourself.
Sophia asked strangely: "Does the city lord want to train a group of people with knowledge and experience of assassins to prepare for assassins' raids?"
Li Yinguang said: "Yes, we will need people no matter what we do in the future. The people in the slums are also people, and the people hired in the town are also people. They are all trained. There won't be much difference."
The Castle Iron City has launched a "talent plan". In Li Yinguang's opinion, this plan should be the core of the development of the Castle.
"Understood!" Sophia nodded, indicating that she knew what to do next.
The Manbach Town tabloid has been open for a long time, and it has a certain reputation in the slums and Manbach Town, especially in the slums, and there are many people working in the tabloid office.
In the cold winter, it is not easy to find some work, let alone in the slums, even in other parts of the town.
"It's too cold today!"
Li Yinguang frowned and couldn't help but stamp his feet from the cold in the tabloid office. There was a charcoal stove indoors, so you can imagine how low the temperature outside was.
"The Black Heart Grocery Store opposite has set up a porridge stall, and Old Man Zhou has sent people to make porridge." Lan Lingha started and walked in from the outside.
Li Yinguang looked at her, his face flushed like a ripe fruit, making people want to take a bite.
"Save porridge?"
In the past, Old Man Zhou had done this kind of thing to win people's hearts in the slums, and he would have been nicknamed "Zhou Shanren" by others.
"Well, there are two big pots, and the queue outside is quite long... The porridge is also quite delicious!" Lan Ling nodded with a silly and sweet look, which made Li Yinguang feel a little restless.
