The acquisition of shops on the East and West Streets is still going on, and the vacant space on the West Street has been cleaned up. All the cooks, maids, and eunuchs of the Wangfu have been dispatched, pretending to be various small vendors to set up stalls.

West Street is close to the West City Gate, and the West City Gate is the main passage for the people around Jianyang City to enter the city.Probably because Jianyang is surrounded by mountains in the north, rivers in the south, and official roads leading to Xunyang in the east, most of the farms and villages are in the west.

In the past few days, the west city gate has gradually become lively. Farmers in the outskirts of the city can see the small market when they come in through the west city gate.Vegetable sellers, butcher sellers, gadget sellers, and so on. If you have a quick mind, you can ask those stalls about the situation.

"Brother, how do you sell this comb?" A woman wearing a hairpin looked around and saw that the peddler who sold the comb was a young and fair guy, so she tried to talk to him.

The young man selling combs looked up, and it was Chen Ziqi's personal eunuch Fuxi.The prince asked these servants to come out and set up a stall, and think about what to sell.Fuxi follows the prince every day, and is well acquainted with the blacksmiths and carpenters in the armory, so he has many contacts. The carpenter entrusted him to sell this comb.

"Sister, which comb do you like?" Fuxi asked with a smile.

The woman chose casually for a while, then picked up a boxwood comb and looked at it. When she asked the price, she didn't say she bought it, but began to chat casually, "Young man, you don't take any weapons to set up a stall here. You're not afraid of people coming to snatch it." ah?"

"There is a patrol battalion, no one dares to make trouble." Fuxi pointed to the team that was slowly passing by not far away, boasting that he had been here for several days and hadn't seen any trouble.

"Are you going to pay the patrol battalion?" The woman looked at those people wearing daggers, seeing that they were from the dagger gate, she couldn't help but feel confident.This Jianyang is next to the Long Sword Gate and the Short Sword Gate. With them here, it is as safe as the sect's farm.

"Give it to the Wangfu. This is the site of King Jian. In the morning, the steward of the Wangfu will come to collect the money. A stall costs two yuan a day." Fuxi pointed to a small wooden sign next to the stall, "You can get this number after paying the money." Cards, just hand them back when the booth is closed."

The woman picked up the small wooden sign and looked at it. There was a simple "three" character engraved on it, which was meaningless. It just proved that this person had paid for today's booth.

Two Wen is just the money for a biscuit, and anyone can afford it.The woman's mind became active, and she went to other stalls to ask questions, and then left happily.As soon as the woman left, another strong man came over, picked up a wooden comb and asked Fuxi, "Young man, you set up a stall here, aren't you afraid of being robbed?"

Fuxi said the same thing dozens of times a day, and his voice was hoarse when he returned to the palace.Chen Ziqi patted him on the shoulder, "Good job, continue tomorrow."

Fuxi had a bitter face, but did not dare to object, and continued to set up a stall the next day.

This persisted for three days, and on the fourth day, the little woman from the first day came with a basket, and in the basket were sugar cakes she baked herself.

The people in the palace looked at each other, and they all saw excitement in each other's eyes.

Although there are few people in Jianyang City, it is not that there are no people. Recently, the craftsmen are working in the weapon shop. With stable wages, there are quite a lot of people buying sugar cakes.In one morning, all ten sugar cakes were sold out, and the woman counted the twenty coins in her hand, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.

On weekdays, the family doesn't have any spare money, and they can only get some food for farming for the sect. The money is all exchanged with the eggs saved at home, which is only enough to buy salt.With the opportunity to set up a stall, you can save money to sell cloth for the children to make new clothes.

When the first comes, there will be a second.After persisting like this for half a month, there are no servants of the palace in this open space, and people who really want to set up stalls have replaced them.

Jianyang City finally had fireworks, and those who got money from selling shops also began to move to the city.

The first one to move here was Hao Dongxi who sold twenty shops.Hao Dongxi took the note to the palace to pay 20 taels of silver. The accountant wanted to give him all the 480 taels, but he didn't dare to take it, fearing that he would be robbed when he went out, so he only took 20 taels.Hao Dongxi still couldn't believe that Bai Huahua got the cash.

I bought a two-entry house in the south of the city, and now the houses in the city are so cheap, such a two-entry house with a two-story building only costs ten taels of silver in total.After setting up a house, Hao Dongxi lived in the city by himself for two days, and found it safe. At night, there were watchmen and people from the patrol battalion patrolling back and forth. He immediately went home to pick up his mother, younger brothers and sisters.

"I heard that the Hao family doesn't plan to stay here anymore?" The women on the farm discussed together.

"Being annulled, do you feel ashamed?" Someone speculated.

"Fart, I got the money to sell the shop, so I want to move to Jianyang City."

The matchmaker who told Hao Dongxi about his kiss passed by, and when he heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears to listen.Hao Dongxi got rich?Can Jianyang City be inhabited now?

Hearing that Hao Dongxi seems to have gotten a few hundred taels of silver, the matchmaker's face turned pale with fright. If the girl from the divorced family heard about this, wouldn't she be so regretful that her stomach would turn green?

News like this gradually spread among the people in the suburbs.

Chen Ziqi didn't have time to appreciate the gradually prosperous Jianyang City, he was busy selecting archers.Feng Ling's people worked very quickly. In half a month, more than 200 young people were recruited.

Because of lack of money, Chen Ziqi originally planned to raise only fifty elite soldiers, but now that he has the money from Dan Yi, he can raise more for the time being.So they picked and picked, leaving 120 people, and planned to put these people together for training, and trained the best fifty to be archers, and the lesser ones could be ordinary guards.

Those youths who were eliminated would not be allowed to come in vain, and each of them would be given two taels of silver as hard work.

"My lord, please keep me. I don't want to be a soldier and let me do rough work in the mansion. I don't have anyone in my family anymore. I'm going to hang out by myself. I might starve to death someday." A thin young man knelt In front of Chen Ziqi, he raised the two taels of silver that he had just received over his head, expressing that he didn't want the silver.

Looking at the young man who was about his age in front of him, Chen Ziqi was a little stunned. If he hadn't been taken into the palace, he would probably be struggling like these young men now.

One knelt down, and the others knelt down one after another.

"Let's stay," Dan Yi patted Chen Ziqi's shoulder, "The people Feng Ling finds will not have any serious problems." The physical condition is not particularly good, and he can't be an archer, but it is no problem to be an ordinary soldier.Instead of waiting for the fief to grow stronger before recruiting soldiers, it is better to raise them now, maybe they can raise generals.

Chen Ziqi frowned slightly. It was indeed reasonable to say so, but he didn't have so many people now, and it was difficult to control these newcomers. He turned his head and asked Luo Yunsheng, who was pointing out the paperwork and registration, "What do you think, sir?"

Luo Yunsheng stroked a small lock of beard that had just grown out, pulled Chen Ziqi aside, and said in a low voice: "The subordinates have already seen these children, and there is no problem with their origin. The fief is so big, only five Ten archers are not enough, and the subordinates suggest that they all stay. However, the method of staying still needs to be considered.”

"How?" Chen Ziqi asked curiously.

"Manipulating subordinates and buying people's hearts, the prince should learn from this time." Luo Yunsheng said such a sentence inscrutablely, and asked Chenzi Qi Fuer to go over and whispered a few words.

Dan Yi sat on the Eight Immortals chair and drank tea slowly, her eyes were fixed on Chen Ziqi all the time, seeing that the surname Luo was so close to Chen Ziqi, her thin lips couldn't help but pursed into a straight line.

After Chen Ziqi listened to Mr. Luo's teaching, he suddenly felt enlightened, and re-examined Luo Yunsheng.This secretive gentleman has been giving him surprises in recent days, no wonder the second child is trying so hard to win him over.

Looking down for a moment, Chen Ziqi turned around and returned to his seat, slowly glanced around at the young people present, sighed and said: "It's not that this king doesn't want to keep you, the world is difficult, people are like mayflies, and the world is at stake. I also want to protect the young people in the fief as much as possible. However, as you have seen, Jianyang City has just been built, and I can't even light a lantern in front of the palace, so I really can't afford to support so many people."

Having said that, those teenagers kneeling on the ground couldn't help showing a bit of despair.

"If you have somewhere to go, then leave as soon as possible. If you really don't want to leave, then there is only one way, which is to stay in the barracks as a handyman." Chen Ziqi frowned, showing impatience, as if he was very embarrassed.

Those teenagers' eyes lit up, and they immediately said that they could do it.

Those who did not want to stay as handymen left one after another, plus those who were picked out before, a total of more than 180 people remained.

Chen Ziqi nodded slightly, and only then showed a little smile: "Although they are handymen, they can practice martial arts with them on weekdays, but they can only practice for half a day, and the rest of the day has to be done. If you practice well, you can be transferred to the Jingbing Battalion If the people in the elite battalion do not do well, they will be replaced by handymen."

After saying these words, Chen Ziqi asked the chef of the palace to cook a few large pots of stew, and invited the youngsters who were left behind to eat.There are cabbage, meatballs, and sliced ​​meat in the chowder. There is a lot of lard in it.

After eating such delicious food, the group of teenagers strengthened their determination to stay here, and what Chen Ziqi said later gave great hope to the teenagers who worked as handymen, and the selected ones felt the crisis , each one is full of enthusiasm.When training started, there was no one who was lazy.

"The world is difficult, and people are like mayflies at their peril..." Returning to the room at night, Chen Ziqi jumped onto the bed excitedly, repeated the words of the day passionately, and looked at Dan Yi with bright eyes, "How did I say it? People want allegiance so much that they want to dedicate their heads to me?"

Dan Yi took off her outer shirt and walked to the bed, pinched someone's squirming buttocks, "I don't know if you want to offer your head or not, I just know that it's already autumn, and you haven't come back with me yet."

Chen Ziqi scratched the pinched place, knelt down and hugged Dan Yi's waist flatteringly, put his chin on his chest and crushed it, "Three days, give me another three days, I promise."

Three days later, the news that thousands of chickens had been exterminated from the Jindaomen chicken farm reached Jianyang.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Jindaomen: Longevity, who killed our chicken!

Blood Blade Pavilion: Are you stupid? Didn’t I send you the blades?

Jindaomen: What's going on, please explain clearly!

Blood Blade Pavilion: Wait a minute, let's contact the killer
