Li Yi and Kan Er returned to Prince Yan's Mansion and reported the matter to Mu Yan.
Now the young master is working as an errand with the emperor, and they all live with the young master in the former Prince Yan's Mansion. A group of officials and entourage who followed the emperor on his northern tour also live in the Prince Yan's Mansion.
"Master, I have tried that skill of stepping on the moon, and it is as good as mine."
Mu Yan was a little surprised, he knew Li Yi's skills.
Of the eight guards his grandfather gave him, Li Yi was the most skilled. Is this guard hired by the little liar so skilled? Where did she hire such a person?
His brows tightened.
"Young master, I asked Madam Huo, but she was prevaricating and didn't say where she invited the person from. I'm afraid the origin of Tie Yue is a little unclear," Kan Er said.
"Not only is this Tayue, there are three other people. She secretly arranged for the four of them to go to Dongyang with the ship. When she came back, she went to the Yamen to register. She only said that she bought them from Dongyang. Others didn't know the origins of the four of them.
But when we went out to sea together, we saw Guangfeng Shui quietly placing them on the boat."
Li Yi reminds Kan Er.
Mu Yan tapped his fingers on the table. He had been busy before, and when he was in the capital, he forgot to ask her about the origins of the four people.
But even if he asked her, I'm afraid she wouldn't tell him the truth.
Today, Li Yi tried Ta Yue's skills and got a tie. It seems that the other three are not weak either.
Eight of them, like Li Yikan and Er, were trained by the Mu family since they were young, and they spent countless efforts. Such guards can only be trained by people with good foundation.
Then there are the disciples trained by Jianghu sects.
But looking at the four of them, they are not from the Jianghu, and they are very different from the Jianghu people. Instead, they are very similar to the dark people trained by some high-ranking families.
Mu Yan pondered, and Li Yi looked worried: "I don't know where Madam Huo invited her from. If the other three people have the same skills as Ta Yue, if these four people can't gather them, I'm afraid it will backfire."
Kan Er was not worried: "Such a master, since he is willing to sign a contract with Madam Huo, he should consider her as his master."
The eight of them have trained with the young master since they were young, and have grown up together. They only recognize the young master. But for a person like Ta Yue, who is so skilled and willing to sell himself to take over, he must have recognized Madam Huo.
But, "They are so skilled, it's a pity to follow Madam Huo." I'm afraid the heroes will have no use.
Li Yi does not agree.
People like them are probably tired of fighting and killing and don't want to make achievements. Hiding in the dark and not seeing the light of day, I'm afraid they would rather live an ordinary life.
After listening to the two of them talking, Mu Yan's expression did not relax.
He has been cautious since he was a child, and knows that there will always be conflicts of interest when getting along with others.
Unlike Li Yi and the others who had been with him since childhood, the four of them joined him halfway. If the little liar couldn't win them over, their loyalty might be limited.
Thinking about when I will meet her again, I will remind her a few things.
Jifeng recovered after a few days of food. Li Yi had helped him finish the work at the construction site, and now he no longer needed to go there to build the city wall.
I took leave from Huo Xi and went to meet my former co-workers and fellow villagers.
The fellow who secretly delivered the news to the first grade of junior high school saw him and did not dare to look at him. "There are some forces behind the foreman. I, I didn't dare to tell the truth."
They were all powerless lower-class people. When Chu first asked the foreman, he was afraid and said he had never said such a thing.
Ji Fengshi did not blame him: "If it were me, I might not dare to tell the truth. But you were able to reveal the news to Chu Yi and let him find me, so that our father and son can be reunited. I still want to thank you."
Looking at the food Ji Fengshi bought for him, the man was too ashamed to take it.
Other fellow villagers in the shack couldn't help but feel a little envious when they saw that Jifengshi had now won the favor of the nobleman and not only escaped, but also no longer had to do the heavy work of building the city wall.
People gathered around him to find out who the noble man was. He was so capable that he replaced the foreman and punished him.
Ji Fengshi thought about what Huo Xi had said to him and said nothing more.
He just said: "My master has many properties in Peiping, and now he is very short of manpower. If you finish the work here and don't find new work, you can go find me."
Huo Xi has now bought several villages, and she has to arrange for people to do the work in the fields. She also has to hire people to build the land she bought at Tianjin Wharf and the abandoned street she bought in Beiping City.
Knowing that Jifengshi's hometown was a saline-alkali land where crops could not grow and people from the village and countryside were looking for work, he asked Jifengshi to help find some people.
"Really? Is there any work at your master's place? What kind of work is it? Is the salary high?"
"There is a lot of work, not as tiring as building the city wall. There is also work in the fields. If you are willing, you can go to Zhuangzi to share my master's fields. The whole family can live in Zhuangzi."
"Really, the whole family can live there?"
Ji Fengshi nodded.
It is difficult to make a living in the hometown, so the men have gone out to look for work, while the women, children and the elderly have stayed in their hometown. They have gone out to work, so it is not easy to go back, and the traveling expenses are high. Some people cannot go back for several years.
If there were jobs in Peiping that women, the elderly, and children could do, then of course they would be willing to take out the whole family. Wouldn't it be better if the whole family could be reunited and make money together?
They all asked Jifengshi for news.
Jifengshi followed Huo Xijiao's words and spread the news. Someone on the spot said that he would send a message back to his hometown and ask his family members to come over.
They heard from the adults who oversaw the work that the emperor planned to move some people from other places to Peiping, and would provide them with travel expenses and resettlement money. But first, those who left their hometowns would be cheap, and second, when they arrived in Peiping, how would the elderly, children, and women be supported?
They can't support the family just by working outside.
So not many people are excited.
Now that I heard that Jifengshi's master promised them work and could arrange them in the village, where they would have a place to live and work to do, they couldn't help but feel excited.
"My master said that you can send a message back to your hometown and ask your family members to go to the county and ask if they can give them travel expenses and resettlement money if they want to move to Peking. If not, my master is willing to pay for their travel expenses.
"
"Really?" Jifengshi's master is still willing to pay the family's travel expenses to Peking?
Not only the fellow villagers from Jifengshi, but also the people from other places in the shack gathered around after hearing the news.
Huo Xi wanted to find people to work, build houses and farm, but she didn't dare to compete with the Peking Yamen for people.
Nowadays, building the city wall and digging the moat are tasks that have been clearly decreed. Nowadays, most of the civilians who come to Peiping to find work work in these two places. Some of them are also invited by the people of Prince Yan's Mansion to repair houses.
Nowadays, it is not easy to find civilian craftsmen in the city.
Huo Xi began to think about where to find some manpower.
I didn't even know anything about it, but Li Yikaner said there was no need to repay the favor in the first grade of junior high school, and within a few days, he was slapped in the face.
