Merchant of Otherworlds

Chapter 154
So they all replied: "The subordinates have no objection; everything is subject to the arrangement of the prince (the leader)." Then they all retreated.

After those scholars had retreated, Yu Ling found that Liu Qianjun hadn't gone out, so she couldn't help thinking that she didn't seem to have asked about his specialty, so she asked him: "You have the same surname as Elder Liu; I don't know what is the relationship with him?"

Liu Qianjun quickly replied: "Elder Liu is the villain's clan uncle."

Yu Ling nodded and asked again: "Since Elder Liu called you here, he definitely wanted to recommend you to me, but I don't know what you know?"

Hearing this, Liu Qianjun replied confidently: "I have been in the army for generations, and I know a thing or two about logistics and military management."

Although Liu Qianjun said it very modestly, judging from the confident expression on his face, it was probably not that simple. It happened that Yu Ling wanted to organize the city defense but had no one, so he said to him: "If that's the case, then I will leave the city defense to you first; I still want to try it first to see how capable you are. Although you are Elder Liu’s nephew, you still have to test what should be tested."

Hearing that Yu Ling wanted to test him, Liu Qianjun's face remained unchanged; as if he knew that Yu Ling would have such an arrangement, he just asked Yu Ling; "I just don't know what the prince wants from the city defense army; That is, how much is the salary? What is the usual work content?"

Yu Ling thought for a while, and finally replied: "The requirements for recruiting soldiers are about 18 to 30 years old; the height is above 1 meters, as long as they are in good health and have no bad habits. Well; since the requirements are set so high, The salary is set at ten taels of silver per month. As for the work, it is to maintain the normal operation of the Iron Collar Gate, and go around the Iron Collar Gate regularly; catch some sneaky people, if you have the ability; It would be best to train them until they can participate in city defense, and..."

I saw that Yu Ling made one request after another, but Liu Qianjun didn't even change his expression, as if Yu Ling's request was easy to fulfill, but he didn't know whether he was ignorant, meaningless or possessed. Really good.

After giving all the tasks he could think of to Liu Qianjun, Yu Ling said to Liu Qianjun: "There are only so many specific tasks; I just don't know if you can do it?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Qianjun said: "It doesn't matter whether it can be done, the important thing is that since the leader has given these tasks to the subordinates, the subordinates only need to try their best to complete them, and the leader will decide whether it is good or bad."

Seeing Liu Qianjun's behavior like this, Yu Ling couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good; if that's the case, then you should go down and have a rest too! Starting tomorrow, the city defense of the Iron Collar Pass will be completely entrusted to you. "

Liu Qianjun nodded, and after saying goodbye, he backed out.

After seeing Liu Qianjun, Wang Erniu stood up and said to Yu Ling: "Master, you have set the requirements for joining the army so high, so we won't be able to recruit anyone? Moreover; the salary is set at ten liang, so this ...This is too much!"

Yu Ling didn't think so, and pointed at the ape-man outside and said, "Since you knew me as a teacher until now; when have you ever seen me commanding many soldiers and horses. Since being a teacher can help others improve their strength, then it's just a matter of time." To be able to win more with less, so the division has always followed the policy of elite soldiers. Although the division has set the requirements a little higher, but as long as the loyalty of those people is confirmed, the division can make them into the ape-man army Such a strong army, even if the number is a little smaller, will still be able to defend the iron collar. As for the salary, is this king really short of money?"

But he didn't want Wang Erniu to really say: "Master, don't you know?"

Seeing Yu Ling's really puzzled look, he knew that Yu Ling might really not know about those things, so he explained: "Because recently, in order to promote our 'Only Self Teaching'; Elder Liu has spent A lot of gold and silver have been lost. If it is not for the fact that there are still a group of merchants in the church who are doing business everywhere to make money, I am afraid that the "Wangjiang Tower" alone will not be able to support it. Although Master, you The territory should have a lot of income in the future, but now..."

Yu Ling couldn't help but sweat when he heard this; he really hadn't noticed these things. He had always thought that he was not short of gold and silver, but he didn't expect that he had become a pauper without knowing it.

But fortunately, gold and silver are not valuable items. Knowing that he was short of money, Yu Ling spent 1B coins to buy back a small gold mountain.Then he put Jinshan directly in front of Wang Erniu, ignoring his damned look, and directly ordered: "Since you said you have no money, then use this to pay for it! Well; you cut off the nine layers Send people to Chang'an, but it will cost more money to come to his side than to our side."

Looking at the gold mountain that was three or four people tall, Wang Erniu couldn't help swallowing, so much gold; if it was taken out, it would be enough to make a person live comfortably for ten generations!

Hearing that Yuling wanted him to cut off the nine layers and send them to Chang'an, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Master, how can I cut off such a big piece of gold, and now both the ape-man and the Holy Son and Holy Daughter have work to do. I'm afraid of ordinary guards; I'm afraid they will be robbed before they reach Chang'an!"

When Yu Ling heard this, she couldn't help but frowned, and finally thought of something; she waved her hand and said, "If that's the case, then you ask someone to collect it, and then resettle the people and pay the army; just use this!"

Hearing Yu Ling's words, Wang Erniu nodded quickly, ran outside and asked a few apes to carry the golden mountain out.After Wang Erniu and those apes left, Yu Ling activated the teleportation ring on her hand and returned to her original room. As long as there is a designated place, Yu Ling can come and go freely at any time, if Yu Ling didn't think of it by herself; He almost forgot that he also left a space marker in Chang'an.

When Yu Ling teleported back to her room in Chang'an, she found that her room was still empty. Looking at the spotless surroundings, someone would probably come to clean it every day!Yu Ling couldn't help but secretly nodded, although he couldn't explain everything, but based on what he saw now, at least Liu Decai was still respectful to him.

Regarding her return to Chang'an, Yu Ling didn't want others to know, and of course she wouldn't tell others about the advantages and disadvantages of the teleportation function.Once other people knew that he could appear somewhere at any time, they would inevitably have other ideas, so Yu Ling only planned to come back to meet Liu Decai and Li Guobang; as for the other people, he didn't want them to know.
