Zhu Shou always feels uneasy lately.
Even the female slave, who never gets tired of playing different tricks on weekdays, makes him lose his usual interest.
Today's dental clinic no longer makes Zhu Shou feel like he is walking on thin ice. He is no longer the duckweed-like character he used to be. Who would dare to look at him with the same look he used to have? At the end of last year, there was news that the superiors were interested in transferring him to the Imperial City Head Office as a deputy general manager. As a result, Zhu Shou spent some effort to find ways to cancel the transfer order from above and continue to stay in Fengri City.
Zhu Shou now has no interest in the position in the dental shop's head office. How could it be so easy to transfer him? This place has been hard-earned to create a fertile vacancy, and anyone who easily moves away is a fool. On the contrary, that transfer order was probably someone who wanted to send him away to pick up fallen peaches under the instigation of someone.
How many people are staring at the fat piece of Yaxing in Fengri City? Too many to count!
Not only people inside the dental shop are watching, but also outside the dental shop. As a leading figure in Fengri City Yaxing today, Zhu Shou has naturally become the center of attention. Now he has long been stuck in the dental system.
reason?
It's very simple, because Yahang in Fengri City holds the only slave caravan that was organized from top to bottom by Yahang's own people, and it has obtained unanimous permission from the Ministry of War and the border army to travel in the barbarian territory. Free business including slave hunting, medicinal material trading, etc.
In addition to the slave caravan built by Yaxing in Fengri City, there are countless caravans that can do business in the barbarian territory on one hand.
In this way, just thinking about it makes it clear how huge benefits such a slave caravan will produce.
Of course, you have to pay taxes, heavy taxes. Moreover, profits need to be distributed to the border troops. But even so, every barbarian slave transported back to the territory can be sold for a profit that far exceeds the cost by dozens or even hundreds of times.
Moreover, in the entire Jingjiu Dynasty, only Fengri City could sell barbarian slaves in regular quantities. Elsewhere you have to wait, take your chances, and even spend more money.
Therefore, last year, the money and spiritual stones earned by the dental shops in Fengri City accounted for nearly 40% of the total dental shops in the entire Jingjiu Dynasty! And this trend will not dissipate in a year or two. As long as other Yahang cannot form slave caravans and obtain permission from the Ministry of War and the border army to enter the barbarian territory, then this trend will continue to spread.
This is also the reason why Zhu Shou maintains a high status now.
Outsiders all said that Zhu Shou was lucky. He took a good road and boarded the ship of Shen Shaxing, the commander of the Black Flag Battalion. There are some who are envious, some who are jealous, and many who hate him to death.
But getting on Shen Shaxing's boat was actually correct, but not accurate enough.
In Zhu Shou's storage bag, there was a document written by Shen Hao personally appointed as a small flag officer of the Xuanqing Guard. He was actually a secret staff member of the Xuanqing Guard.
At the beginning, Zhu Shou was forced to participate. He had a very bad attitude toward Shen Shaxing and was reluctant to be wary of everything. It wasn't until he was secretly helped by Xuanqingwei to get the position of master of Yaxing in Fengri City thanks to his relationship with Shen Shaxing that he changed his mind, and gradually changed his mentality and began to work with all his heart.
The farther back he went, the more Zhu Shou could feel the lightning speed of riding on a carriage. When he looked back at the position of the Lord of the Yaxing of Fengri City under his seat, he suddenly felt a little inexplicably boring.
After all, a place like Yaxing is not a "yamen". It is just a government-run "shop", but it only makes a living that others cannot do.
And it's just one thing to make money and be soft. Money is useless if you have too much of it. Cultivation is not something you can just pile up by taking a few more pills. But the inner desires will expand day by day because of what we see and know.
Zhu Shou also knew that he was frantically testing on the edge of the cliff. He understood that his unauthorized manipulation of the Black Flag Camp's secret agent selection and training was a de facto power grab. This is contrary to the position Master Shen gave him at the beginning.
But Zhu Shou just couldn't control himself. He felt bad when he saw people like Wang Jian transform from a useless follower to a powerful figure in the Black Flag Camp who now holds great power. Suddenly I felt that all the progress I had made in the past few years was nothing.
Besides, it's just a tooth line, can it be compared with the Black Flag Camp that is in full swing now?
Why can't I get a higher position in Black Flag? I am a small flag officer! Zhu Shou often thought like this.
But how to speak is a problem. So Zhu Shou thought of a way, not to speak, but to grasp the key to the selection and training of the secret agent, and just hold it tightly without any more movements, and he could follow the spread of the Black Flag Camp's secret agent booth and obtain the result smoothly. greater rights. As long as these rights reach a certain level, his status in the Black Flag Camp will naturally rise with the tide.
This feeling of sneaking in and taking advantage is very exciting. Zhu Shou secretly sweats every time he holds on to more and more secret agent selection and training words. But when he was about to squeeze out all Wang Jian's men, Wang Jian came over.
Xiao Xiami, who was not looked down upon by Zhu Shou in the past, now exudes a strong aura. Although his words are polite, the pressure on Zhu Shou is difficult to ignore, and even makes him a little scared.
So Zhu Shou had to restrain himself, but he still secretly looked for opportunities to take a further step in the Black Flag Camp.
Until I received a Qianli Note.
Master Shen came and asked him to meet at a simple tea stall beside the official road on the outskirts of the city. Zhu Shou's first reaction when he saw this thousand-mile note was to "run", and then he followed his reason and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurried out.
Zhu Shou had never been to that tea stall. He put on a black robe and a black gauze hat and rode alone. After leaving the city gate, he walked for half an hour before he saw the tea stall. There was a tea stall next to it. Big stone dam, there are only a few carriages parked on the stone dam at this time.
The tea stall is not small, with a radius of thirteen or four feet, and dozens of tables. The signboard is called "Baba Tea".
This is where the large motorcade outside the city rests. Every day before dawn, a large number of motorcades would have to party into the city. In the past, the people in the motorcades would choose to drink tea and eat at this tea stall for a short refreshment. On the contrary, business here is relatively quiet during the day.
As soon as Zhu Shou entered, he was stopped by a store waiter, who then said "Please follow me" and led him to a small wooden house behind the tea stall, where Shen Hao was waiting for him.
"Are you here? Sit down and have a cup of tea. The herbal tea here is said to be very effective in relieving heat. If you drink two bowls of it, you can stay out in the sun all day without getting a heatstroke."
"Thank you, sir." Zhu Shou saluted before finding a chair opposite and sitting down.
Shen Hao poured a bowl of tea and handed it to Zhu Shou with a smile, and said with a smile: "I heard that you attach great importance to the task of selecting and training secret agents and want to take care of it? Is there such a thing?"
...
Ps: This is an update added to thank "Mao Nishiye" for rewarding a leader.
At the same time, I would also like to thank all my friends who have followed me all the way. thank you all!
