Chapter 284 Lu Min’s Coquettishness (4)

Lu Min was invited into the imperial city.

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, from the rising sun to noon.

After yawning, Lu Yi waved, and a vendor from a wonton stall on the roadside hurriedly came over. Lu Yi casually ordered two large bowls of wontons, and asked the boss to add more chili oil, and had a hearty meal.

This tastes right.

It should be a serious business in Haojing Baihutang.

Back then, Lu Qian and Ahu partnered up to build a series of food stalls in Haojing City, earning extremely generous 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, lamb, 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, ate the skewers, and looked at the 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 were any available manpower in Yincheng.

What an unexpected surprise.

These days, I was busy helping Le Yi and Le De organize their private army in the military camp outside the city, but I didn't notice that the small vendors on the streets of Yincheng were also mixing their own business.

The sun 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 holding a scepter, axe, a large banner, and a black umbrella, wearing the ceremonial guard of a monarch.

Lu Min, who had obviously taken a shower and changed clothes, with his hair combed and shiny, was smiling and sitting on the back of an extraordinary white horse with a three-inch long horn on his forehead, wearing a silver dress with a noble title. 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 loudly.

"Today there is a great sage, 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 and knowledge...

Lu Qian was dumbfounded when he heard that Lu Min was actually canonized as a first-grade Sima by the Le clan. His official position was equivalent to that of a general or a prime minister. He was in charge of the people of the Le clan, mainly the private armies formed by the young masters, and coordinated the expeditions of these private armies. Dayin.

What kind of ecstasy 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 assigned to the General's Office and the Fifth Army Office. Later, the city defense army and the Wei Mansion were divided 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... Leshi has so many young masters who are eager to make contributions.

As far as Lu Qian knew these days, young men 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 and training vigorously.

Among the private armies formed by these two to three hundred small groups, the most prosperous ones were Le Yi and Le De supported by Lu Qian. The total number of private armies was thirty to forty thousand. Other smaller private armies also number 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 just 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 enough. This is a 'huge force' that can scare people when spoken out in one go!

Leshi, just gave this authority to Lu Min?

Lu Qian 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 bullock cart across the street, and waved to Lu Qian.

Lu Qian pulled the old oxcart 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 slightly 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, he will obey the command of Da Sima. Please also invite 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, in front of hundreds of honor guards, in front of so many people at the gate of 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 Yi's hands disappeared. Lu Min smiled and nodded to Lu Yi: "In that case, tonight, I will be in 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 Qian actually bribed them in public, and Lu Min actually collected the gems in public without any scruples. Down!

On the wall of the imperial city, Yu Sandou put 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 were not greedy, who would dare to let you be an official?"

Lu Qian saluted Lu Min.

Lu Min rode on horseback, head held high and surrounded by people, and went 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 Fang Ling Mansion. Under Le's order, the officials in the Fang Ling Mansion were moving in a hurry, clearing out all the original files and documents, and giving up the land. To Lu Min.

Groups of government officials carried large gongs and walked up and down the streets of Yincheng, announcing to the world the birth of the new Yincheng Sima - they even announced to the world that as long as you have talent, you can succeed. If there is talent, Xin Yin will make an exception and promote him.

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? It’s only right to join Dayin quickly and shed blood, 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 position of Grand Sima, which attracted 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 and that a man who had just taken refuge 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 night, Qingping Leyuan, a hall where Leshi used to host banquets to entertain guests during the New Year and Spring Festival in previous years, was brightly lit with lights inside and outside. Countless lights illuminated the hall like a crystal palace, which was extremely glorious and gorgeous.

Countless pretty maids rushed back and forth, delivering various kinds of fruits and fine wines as if they were flowing water.

The young masters of the Le clan rushed over in groups, each with his or her own thoughts in mind, to attend the welcome banquet for the new Grand Sima.

To be honest, the real elite disciples 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 playboys from the Le family who were not very successful. In terms of ability, they don't have much ability, but in terms of temper, each of them has a bigger temper than the other.

Thousands of young masters gathered together, accompanied by a large group of hangers-on, thugs, financial backers, lovers, etc. They were in a mess and shouting in all directions.

"Where did Bai Changqing come from? Bah, Bai Changkong's distant cousin? Young Master, what I have looked down on all my life are those rotten idiots who insist on studying... So, Young Master, I have never studied, and I have raised 20,000 yuan." A team with multiple people?”

"Da Sima? Why should he be a Da Sima? Today, I want to give him a good look! I'll blow his head off with one punch. This position of Da Sima, you might as well give it to me!"

"Okay, brother, listen to 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 masters.

This scene was really smoky and chaotic to the extreme.
