Just when the newly arrived refugees were worrying about how to survive the winter, His Royal Highness Shi Zi suddenly issued a new announcement.

The announcement said: Winter is coming, in order to ensure the safety of the new members through the winter, His Royal Highness Shizi decided to open the built factory for the new members to spend the winter.However, new members need to exchange their labor for beds.

That is to say, the prince will provide accommodation for the new refugees, but the accommodation is not free, and the refugees need to exchange their labor for four hours a day.

The old refugees who have built houses can also apply for jobs and participate in the construction of the new city, and His Royal Highness will distribute the salary.

The refugees burst into applause after hearing the words, praising His Royal Highness for his benevolence and the gods and Buddhas alive.

They are not afraid of working, but they are afraid of waiting to die in vain if they have nothing to do.

How could they not be grateful for Shizi providing them with a way out now?

Who can't do hard work?

Of course some people won't do it.

Tao Kun would not work hard.

Although he was not born in a wealthy family, he has never done heavy work since he was a child. On the one hand, he is thin and thin, and on the other hand, he takes reading as his duty and rarely exercises.

Tao Kun's father used to work as a bookkeeper in the wine store in the town. Later, rebels broke out in their prefectures and counties. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes.

His father took him and his mother to flee with everyone.

Unfortunately, his father passed away due to wind and cold on the road, and his mother was so sad and helpless that she couldn't afford to get sick.

Tao Kun asked someone to help him make a straw mat, tied his mother to the straw mat, and dragged her to Gyeongju.

When I first came to Gyeongju, the weather has turned cold.

They are refugees, with no house to live in, no source of income, and can only rely on soup kitchens outside the city to survive every day.

He has no money to see a doctor and take medicine for A Niang. Seeing that A Niang will not be able to persist, a new announcement is made.

Tao Kun wiped away his tears, ran into the tent, held his mother's hand, choked up and said, "Mother, I can go to work, and we will be able to live in the factory soon."

Mother Tao's lips were pale and chapped, she struggled to pull out a smile, and said in a rough voice: "Good boy, if you have work, you won't starve to death, mother knows you can do it."

Tao Kun's eye circles are red, and the hand that was once only used to hold a pen has become rough and chapped.

He said firmly, "Mom, I will definitely make you better!"

Mother Tao smiled and said nothing.

Her only wish is to see her son take root and survive here. Only in this way can she die without regret.

Tao Kun is not a fool, he can more or less sense what his mother is thinking.

"Mother, you must persevere. If father is gone, you will be the only family member left for me."

Tao Kun cried and said, "Mother, don't you want to see me marry a wife? Don't you want to hold a grandson?"

Of course Mother Tao wanted to, but her body was really dying.

"Hurry up and sign up. What if you can't do the job if all the people are recruited?" She hurriedly urged her son.

Tao Kun's tears finally fell.

He turned his back and hurried out of the tent, wiping away his tears as he ran to the recruiting area of ​​the factory.

Because of not watching the road carefully, he accidentally bumped into a person.

He quickly bent down and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't see the way clearly."

He also cried when he spoke.

He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was young, so crying made people feel a little sympathetic.

Zhang Feng was a kind-hearted young man, so he couldn't help asking: "Why are you crying? What happened?"

His sincere expression and caring words made Tao Kun's heart ache even more, and tears rolled down, which could not be stopped anymore.

Zhang Feng was in a hurry: "Don't cry, is it hurting somewhere? I'll take you to see a doctor!"

As he said that, he was going to pull his sleeves and take him to the hospital.

"No, I don't hurt," Tao Kun shook his head, "I, I just can't help but want to cry."

Seeing his ragged clothes and panicked expression, Zhang Feng knew that he must be a new refugee, and felt even more sympathetic, and said softly:

"Don't cry, if you have any difficulties, you can go to the manager and talk, maybe you can solve it."

After coming to Gyeongju, Tao Kun has been anxious all the time, and suddenly met a kind and gentle young man, like a drowning man catching a piece of driftwood, and asked quickly, "Can it really be solved?!"

Zhang Feng nodded: "How do you know if you don't try?"

Tao Kun didn't know the place well, so he asked anxiously: "My mother is sick, and I don't have the money to hire a doctor for her. Can this also be solved?"

"Your mother is sick?!" Zhang Feng was startled.

Now he understood why the little brother was crying like this.

A filial person deserves help.

Thinking of his family's previous situation, thinking of his father who was sick in bed, thinking of his mother's hard work in starching and washing clothes every day, and thinking of how he has become the pillar of the family now, Zhang Feng felt a sense of loyalty.

He patted his chest and said, "Follow me to find the steward, and I'll ask the steward for you. If your mother is really sick, the steward will definitely not ignore it!"

Tao Kun opened his eyes wide, showing a bit of hope, and he grinned: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome, since you and your mother have arrived in Qingzhou, we are a family. By the way, my name is Zhang Feng, what's your name?"

"My name is Tao Kun!"

"What Kun?"

"Yao Kun's Kun means beautiful jade."

"Haha, I haven't read a book, so I don't know how to read, Meiyu, it sounds like a good name!"

"Then I'll teach you how to read when I'm free in the future!"

"it is good!"

Two teenagers came side by side to find the steward.

Since Wei Si was transferred to the government office, the manager here has changed. He is the deputy trained by Wei Si before. His name is Ge Feng. He is very clever and kind-hearted.

Zhang Feng is an excellent employee of the woodwork factory. Ge Feng knows Zhang Feng well and has a good impression of Zhang Feng.

When he heard the intention of the two people, he did not give an answer immediately, but said: "You leave your name and tent number, and I will send someone to verify it later. After the verification, I will apply to the higher authorities. You go back and wait. "

When distributing tents to refugees, each tent is marked with a mark for easy identification.

He spoke kindly and looked calm, Tao Kun's uneasy mood gradually eased, and he hurriedly bowed down to thank him.

After going out, Zhang Feng leaned close to his ear and whispered: "You don't have to worry too much, our Royal Highness is the most benevolent, there must be hope!"

"En!" Tao Kun nodded fiercely.

Judging from the attitude of the manager just now, the people here are not as discriminatory and exclusionary as he imagined.

"However, if you ask a doctor to treat your mother, you have to pay on credit first, and you will need to work to pay off the debt later."

Tao Kun understands that there is no such thing as free food in this world, as long as he can cure his mother, he is willing to work for a lifetime!

Ge Feng was very efficient, and quickly verified Tao's mother's illness, and wrote an application to submit it.

This kind of trivial matter should not be brought to Lou Yu's hands, but Lou Yu's office system and personnel are not yet perfect, so he can only do it himself.

If the financial group is established in the future, such things that require advance payment of medical expenses can be verified and stamped by the steward first, and then directly submitted to the financial group for approval and appropriation.

Now I can only talk about myself.

He signed and stamped, and the approval was approved.

The seal was engraved by someone not long ago, and it is specially used for official business.

Of course, not only a financial team must be established, but also a supervision mechanism to prevent people from taking advantage of this kind of thing.

The approval form was quickly delivered to Ge Feng's hands. Looking at the signature and seal on the form, his hands were shaking with excitement.

This is the first time he has had such close contact with His Highness!

Your Highness's handwriting is so beautiful!His Royal Highness's seal is also very unique!

He wanted to keep this approval form in his possession so that no one else could see it.

Ge Feng suppressed this fanatical mentality and asked someone to call Tao Kun.

Tao Kun ran over excitedly, "Guan Ge! You are looking for me!"

Ge Feng always had a high regard for those who were filial to their parents, and handed him the approval form with a gentle expression.

"Will you know how to read?"

"Learn words!"

When Tao Kun saw the word "agree", he couldn't help being elated and tears filled his eyes!

This weird blueprint is his and his mother's hope!

Looking at Lou Yu's signature and seal again, he couldn't help but stay where he was.

The biggest official he has ever met since he was a child is the county magistrate. He never imagined that one day he would be blessed by His Royal Highness!

Shizi's writing is elegant and smart, Shizi's chapters are simple and elegant, Shizi is really a good man as Zhang Feng said!

Tao Kun was so overjoyed that he could see his teeth but not his eyes.

Seeing this, Ge Feng couldn't help laughing.

He instructed: "I will entrust a doctor to treat your mother later, and the medical center will provide you with medicinal materials according to the course of treatment. The consultation fee and medicine fee will be recorded in the record, and you will have to pay it back in the future."

Tao Kun nodded again and again: "I will pay it back! I will pay it back!"

He jumped and ran back to the tent, dancing and telling Mother Tao the good news.

Mother Tao was about to accept her fate, but when she heard this, her spirit suddenly recovered, and she asked in amazement, "You really agreed?"

Tao Kun smiled: "It's true! I have seen His Royal Highness personally signed and stamped by himself! It must be right!"

Mother Tao clasped her hands together: "No wonder everyone said that they would come to Gyeongju to seek a living. It turns out that we were not deceived. It was the right time to come to Gyeongju!"

She muttered to Tao Kun for a while, and said solemnly to Tao Kun: "Son, His Royal Highness is our family's great benefactor, we have to work hard in the future, do you understand?"

"Mom, I know!"

Tao Kun nodded first, and then showed a little melancholy.

But he really doesn't have more energy to sell, so what should he do?

After a while, a doctor came to the door, claiming to be the doctor of Lilac Hall in the city.

After treating Mother Tao, the doctor said that there was no major disease in her body, but that she might have been stimulated by something before, which led to stagnation in her heart, and coupled with running all the way, her body collapsed.

As long as you take good care of it, it will be fine in the future.

He left a prescription and said: "I'll go back to make the medicine first, and tomorrow you can take the prescription and go to the Clove Hall to get the medicine."

Tao Kun mother and son are naturally grateful.

When Zhang Feng heard the news, he approached Tao Kun after he got off work, and said with great loyalty: "You are not familiar with the place where you live, and it is inconvenient to go to the city. My house is not far from Dingxiangtang. Why don't you give me the prescription, and I will give it to you when I go to work tomorrow." bring."

Tao Kun was naturally very grateful.

"By the way, you don't have a pot for boiling medicine at home. I'll bring you one by the way tomorrow."

Zhang Feng's father has been sick for a long time, and there are some old medicine jars at home, so it's okay to give one to the Tao family.

"Brother Zhang, thank you so much, woo woo woo woo." Tao Kun couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Faced with the Tao family's gratitude, Zhang Feng was also very happy.

When his family was in the most difficult time, they met His Royal Highness.Because of the grace of His Royal Highness, their family is getting more and more prosperous.

Now he can help others and make others better.

so happy!

On the second day, Zhang Feng really kept his word, and not only brought a medicine bag, but also a medicine jar and two clay bowls.

Tao Kun had already gone to a nearby mountain to gather some dry firewood for the fire.

He doesn't know how to boil medicine, so Zhang Feng taught him by hand before it was time to go to work.

"Tao Kun, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Feng asked him while boiling the medicine.

"I, I don't know what I can do." Tao Kun looked ashamed, "I don't know how to blacksmith, carpenter, or farm. I just learned some bookkeeping skills from my father."

He couldn't even do chores on the construction site because his strength was too weak.

As for the work of the accountant, he didn't even dare to think about it based on his current status.

Zhang Feng couldn't help worrying about him. Looking at Tao Kun's slender arms and legs, he sighed and said, "Why don't you go to our factory to learn carpentry."

"Alright."

The two agreed temporarily.

Unexpectedly, an opportunity soon appeared in front of Tao Kun.

Zhang Feng got up early in the morning to go to work, and saw a group of people gathered around the alley.

Is there a new announcement?

He leaned over, and because he couldn't read very well, he caught a person and asked.

The man enthusiastically explained: "His Royal Highness is going to recruit Mr. Accountant! Anyone who can read and write and is proficient in arithmetic can apply!"

Zhang Feng's eyes lit up: "Can you go to work if you sign up!"

"That's not true. It is said that there will be a centralized assessment, and only those who pass the assessment can be used as accountants."

Zhang Feng got along with Tao Kun for a few days and knew that Tao Kun had studied and studied arithmetic, so he was sincerely happy for him.

However, remembering that I was rejected because of my age for the first time, I was worried that there would be restrictions this time, so I quickly asked, "Are there any other conditions?"

The man shook his head: "Yes, you need to be over 16 years old and under 40 years old."

Tao Kun is 17 years old, age-appropriate, great!

"What else? For example, household registration or something."

"It's gone, it's just this one restriction, it's not even limited to men and women."

Zhang Feng was stunned, "Men and women are not restricted? Is it really written like that in the notice?"

Someone next to him began to criticize: "I think His Royal Highness is messing around this time, how can anyone recruit a woman as an accountant?!"

"Yes, yes, what is it called to let a woman work as an accountant?"

"You're right, what's the matter, your mother-in-law didn't cook at the construction site?"

"How can it be the same? Cooking is the same as being an accountant?"

"Stop arguing, I heard that it's the county manager's accountant, so he wants to recruit a female accountant."

"Really?" A woman was surprised, "If you pass the assessment, can you really work with the princess?"

"How can I really know this? If you want to know, little lady, you might as well try it. Anyway, it's not bad to try!"

The woman's eyes were fixed on the notice, her expression was trembling, and she ran away after a long time.

On the other side, Zhang Feng told Tao Kun the good news. Tao Kun was both surprised and happy, as if he was hit by a pie falling from the sky, and he was stunned for a while before recovering.

"Feng! Can I really sign up?!"

Zhang Feng nodded: "I've inquired, there are no other restrictions except age, you can sign up!"

Tao Kun was confused: "Where should I go to sign up?"

"There is a registration point in the city, and our new city also has a registration point. I will take you there!"

The two rushed to Ge Feng's office again.

Ge Feng still remembered Tao Kun, and asked with a smile, "How is your mother?"

"After taking a few medicines, I feel much better. Thank you, Guanshi Ge, for your concern!" Tao Kun said sincerely.

Zhang Feng couldn't wait to ask: "Guan Ge, is your Highness's Accounting Office here to sign up?"

"Yes, who wants to sign up?" Ge Feng looked back and forth between the two, and asked in surprise, "Could it be Tao Kun?"

These days, there are very few people who can read and write, and if you add one who can do arithmetic, there will be even fewer.

I didn't expect the young boy to have this ability.

He took out a registration form and said with a smile: "I thought no one would sign up today, but I didn't expect Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in our new city."

Tao Kun's face turned red suddenly, and he was humble: "No, no, I just learned a little bit, and Guanshi Ge praised me absurdly."

"Hahaha, fill out the form first, and wait for the notification." Ge Feng looked more gentle.

If Tao Kun really became His Highness's accountant in the future, it would be a great fortune.

Tao Kun in this room filled out the form excitedly, and on the other side, the woman who read the notice ran into a house.

There are quite a few young women in the yard, mending and doing laundry, all working hard.

"Sister Wen! Sister Wen!" The woman ran into the back room.

Tang Wen was leaning against the window to embroider, and the morning light shone on her face, bright and gorgeous, filling the room with brilliance.

Without raising her head, she asked calmly, "Ah Hui, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I saw a new notice from the palace, saying that Mr. Fang is going to be recruited!"

Tang Wen said coldly, "Oh, what does it have to do with us?"

"Sister Wen, I know you can make money with this manual embroidery, but you embroider all day and night, and your eyes can't stand it!" The woman looked worried.

They are all women from Yangwu Mountain, and they are arranged by Fengchun and Caixia in this area of ​​the house.

Tang Wen was the woman who stood up on the mountain that day and asked Chen Xuanshen to rescue the unconscious girl.

The girl who was rescued was You Hui. After waking up, she was very dependent on Tang Wen, and they were called sisters.

You Hui hurriedly said: "But I read the notice that both men and women can apply! As long as you can read and write, and be proficient in arithmetic!"

She and Tang Wen were born rich and powerful, and they had to learn to take care of common affairs since they were young, and their ability to keep accounts was no worse than that of the accountant at home.

Now that you have this opportunity, why not try it?

Tang Wen frowned when she heard this, "Really?"

"It's true! The notice clearly states that both men and women can sign up! Sister Wen, let's go!"

Suddenly a sour word came from outside the house: "Some people just want to be beautiful every day, how can they recruit female accountants? Even if they recruit, they will definitely not last long."

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

When everyone suffered together in Yangwu Mountain, they were still able to work together.

But after she was out of danger, because Tang Wen was beautiful and had extraordinary embroidery skills, she earned more money than other people, and a few jealous people often ran against her openly and secretly.

You Hui is a fiery person, she often gets angry and bickers with others, and she is even ridiculed for currying favor with Tang Wen.

You know, the money Tang Wen embroiders for one piece of embroidery is more than they wash dozens of clothes to death.

One cannot be afraid of comparison.

You Hui was about to retort, but Tang Wen put down her needle and thread, and said towards the outside of the room: "If you have time to talk nonsense, why don't you do more work."

It's not that she doesn't want to teach them how to embroider, it's just that embroidery can't be learned overnight. Most people not only have no talent, but also lack stamina. Who's to blame?

"Sister Wen, are you going or not?"

Tang Wen was silent for a while, and asked, "Why do you want to hire a female accountant?"

"I heard it's to help the county supervisor!" You Hui said in a low voice, "Sister Wen, if we can work with the princess, life will get better and better in the future!"

They have lived here for a long time, and the people around them know their identities more or less.

It is impossible for a group of women who have been defiled by bandits not to suffer from white eyes and discrimination.

You Hui thought, if they can work for the princess in the future, who would dare to look down on them!

Tang Wen asked calmly, "Where do I sign up?"

"I found out, it's at the entrance of the alley next to the palace!"

Tang Wen decisively put away the needlework embroidery cloth.

"Walk."

The two walked out of the yard, and walked towards the Wangfu on foot, facing the indifferent or scrutinizing or mocking gazes of others.

Tang Wen's appearance is beautiful, even if she is dressed in coarse linen, she can't hide her beauty.You Hui was born delicate and graceful, Xiaojiabiyu is also an eye-catching beauty.

The two walked hand in hand, attracting many malicious looks.

Therefore, if it is not necessary on weekdays, they will not easily step out of the yard.

You Hui is now broken and broken, and when she sees those eyes, she will stare back fiercely.Tang Wen raised her head and raised her chest, ignoring it directly.

Some Xiaoxiao didn't dare to go forward and bully at will.

Not long after, they walked to the alley next to the palace.

There are already many people waiting in line.

At a glance, they were all men.

The appearance of Tang Wen and You Hui caused a group of men to be amazed.

There are really women applying for the job!

And she looks so pretty!

Someone couldn't help laughing and asked: "You two young ladies, are you here to apply for a job or to find a husband?"

Some people laughed out loud.

Only a few men had peaceful eyes and did not participate in this boring ridicule.

Tang Wen and You Hui ignored them and stood at the end of the line.

Fengchun and Caixia are responsible for recruiting people.

Seeing the noisy team, Cai Xia stopped immediately: "Quiet!"

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

Seeing the two people at the end of the line, Cai Xia paused and smiled in relief.

Although the notice said that male and female accountants are welcome, but after so long, she and Fengchun were not disappointed without seeing even a single woman.

The appearance of Tang Wen and You Hui made her really happy.

that's nice!

The registration period is only three days. Once the three days pass, everyone has to take the registration form and participate in the assessment.

A total of 130 people registered this time, including 130 men and two women.

When Lou Yu got the data, he couldn't help sighing with Lou Quan: "If my sister can get two female assistants, it will be more convenient to do things."

It's just that he only recruited 20 people at most this time, which is not a small ratio, but there are only two women, which is still a bit hanging.

Lou Quan couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm very surprised that a woman can take the initiative to sign up."

No matter what, what they need are people with real abilities, everyone will compete fairly, and those who are able will live.

On the day of the exam, Tang Wen and You Hui came to the exam room, which was guarded by government soldiers, solemn and solemn.

Rao Tang Wen couldn't help being shocked.

However, the government soldiers were strictly disciplined, and their eyes were all looking straight ahead, and they didn't fall on them at all.

Only some men who came to take the exam would look at them with disgusting eyes.

The examiner for this exam is Lou Yu, and the chief examiner is the accountant of the Wangfu. Feng Chun, Cai Xia, and A Yan are invigilating the exam together to prevent anyone from cheating.

"Anyone who looks around will be immediately exempted from the exam qualification!"

Cai Xia said loudly with a serious face.

The reference men all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the only two female candidates.

Tang Wen and You Hui silently thanked Cai Xia and sat down in the corner of the examination room.

Tao Kun also came to take the exam.

When he saw two women entering the arena, he was quite surprised. He didn't expect that there were actually women applying for the exam.

When the exam started, the invigilator distributed the test papers and draft paper, and many candidates were dumbfounded when they got the test papers.

so tough? !

These people boast that they can read a few words and do some superficial arithmetic, so they can be accountants.

Never expected that not only were the questions difficult, but the exam room couldn't even use an abacus!

How do they count?

Lou Yu knew that Dasheng usually relied on abacus to calculate accounts, but the numbers he gave were not difficult to calculate, but more focused on the candidates' thinking ability.

Those who are used to accountants, or those who are talented in arithmetic, can do basic mental arithmetic.

No matter how bad it is, don’t you still have draft paper, you can just draw slowly.

The exam time is half an hour.

Tang Wen was shocked when she got the test questions, but she was always calm, smart, and good at mental arithmetic, so she didn't find it difficult to accept.

You Hui was originally the daughter of a merchant, and since she was a child she had been fascinated by it, and such problems were no problem.

When it was Tao Kun's turn, although he found it tricky, he could still write the answer if he thought about it carefully.

After the exam was over, the test paper was sent to the East Hospital of Wangfu.

Lou Yu and Lou Quan personally corrected it.

130 The second test paper sounds like a lot, but the correct and wrong answers in mathematics are clear at a glance, and it can be corrected quickly.

Finally, the top 60 were counted, and these [-] people had to participate in another selection.

No.1 is Tang Wen, No.2 is You Hui, and No.3 is Peng Zhu.

Lou Quan was very surprised, the first two were both women!

Lou Yu said calmly, "Let's make a list."

Before the exam, he deliberately asked people to check the life experiences of Tang Wen and You Hui.

Tang Wen came from a wealthy family, You Hui had a well-educated family, and the rest of the men who participated in the assessment were basically from ordinary backgrounds. Compared with the two of them, they were indeed a little less knowledgeable, and it was normal for them to be inferior to them.

As soon as the top [-] list was posted, it caused a sensation!

Even people who don't pay attention to this matter have heard that among the 130 men, none of them passed two women's exams!

This is simply too embarrassing for a man!

Some of those who participated in the exam but were not on the list almost ran away with their faces covered.

As for the women, most of them feel elated, and a small number of them are old-fashioned, thinking that it is not a good thing for women to show their faces.

There is also a notice next to the list.

The notice said: The top 20 still need to participate in an interview, and after the interview, [-] people will be selected, and the interview will be held three days later.

After hearing the news of the interview, some people studied mathematics desperately after returning home;

After one night, everyone knew that Tang Wen and You Hui had been defiled by bandits, and they were no longer good girls!

As soon as this rumor came out, those male accountants who were suppressed below couldn't help feeling even more humiliated.

They were actually pressed down by two filthy women, it was a joke in the world!

Even if they were facing the palace, they protested recklessly: How could the palace recruit such a woman as an accountant?

Some people even preached in a dark way: Maybe His Royal Highness wanted to keep them because of their beauty.

Tang Wen and You Hui were deeply mired in rumors.

Pots of dirty water were poured on them.

You Hui was so angry that she cried hard.

She even wanted to give up, but was stopped by Tang Wen.

"The more they want to see us make a fool of ourselves, the more we want to live life freely!"

On the day of the interview, Lou Yu and Lou Quan personally acted as the interviewers.

Each person only needs to answer three questions.

"Why do you want to be an accountant?"

"If you need to learn a new accounting method after joining the company, would you be willing?"

"If you were to work with a man (woman), would you be willing?"

For the first question, most people will say some scene words, which can be regarded as the warm-up part.

The second question is to see whether the candidates are willing to break the stereotypes and accept new things.

The third question is the most controversial and the most intensely answered among the candidates.

There are a large number of men who directly express their unwillingness to work with women.

A small number of men said that it doesn't matter who they work with.

Lou Yu was impressed by Peng Zhu and Tao Kun.

Peng Zhu is a young man in his twenties, with a well-proportioned appearance and a clear demeanor, he only said: "I just need to do my part, the rest has nothing to do with me."

The youth Tao Kun said with a naive face: "The two sisters must be very good after taking the first and second place in the exam! If I can work with them, I will definitely learn more!"

Tang Wen and You Hui didn't show any vehemence, they just needed to prove themselves with their strength, and they didn't care who they worked with.

In the end, twenty accountants were finalized.

Tang Wen and You Hui directly became Lou Quan's assistants, and the rest were assigned jobs.

After the [-] accountants joined the company, they first had to learn new bookkeeping methods and memorize the employee rules.

After being screened by written examinations and interviews, these 20 people can be regarded as talents with good character. They quickly learned new methods and were able to get started.

After the initial formation of the financial team was completed, Lou Yu gave them a lot of accounts, and everyone was busy.

After a few days of running-in, Lou Quan, Tang Wen, and You Hui became more and more compatible, and their work efficiency was multiplied with half the effort.

Lou Yu can finally be a hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind.

But only on the financial side.

He sat behind the case, stretched out his hand to press his temple, and then told Feng Erbi: "Go and call Huo Yan."

A moment later, Huo Yan walked in with a cold body.

He sat down opposite Lou Yu, staring at the young prince with deep and quiet eyes.

Lou Yu handed him hot tea with his own hands, "It's cold outside, let's warm it up first."

Huo Yan drank it down in one gulp, simply and neatly.

"Your Highness called me here, is there something to order?"

As long as Lou Yu doesn't have a meeting, he will basically stay in the military barracks to train soldiers.

Although it is not common to see Lou Yu, but the mansion barracks is close to the palace, and it exists to guard the palace, Huo Yan thinks it is quite good.

Lou Yu asked: "Now we have a total of more than [-] soldiers. In your opinion, how powerful are they?"

Huo Yan said seriously: "Training and fighting are different after all."

Having not experienced the baptism of war, these soldiers still lack some energy and spirit. Compared with Wang Dayong and those frontier soldiers in Jizhou, they are too immature.

Lou Yu understands this truth, but he can't take the initiative to fight with people now, can he?

This is not realistic.

He sighed softly and said, "I called you here today for two reasons."

"Well, you said."

Lou Yu took out a plan and handed it to him.

"The bow and arrow battalion and the cavalry battalion should be put on the agenda."

There was no such condition before, but now there are enough bows and arrows, and there is no shortage of horses, so it is necessary to train some professionals.

Archers are long-range assistance, and cavalry are mobile violence output.

Huo Yan couldn't help smiling: "Even if you don't mention it, I will suggest it to you in a while."

Lou Yu's eyes lit up: "There are specializations in the art industry, since you already have an idea, go ahead and do it! Also, I want you to secretly train an elite division and organize it into a special battalion."

"You mean, an elite team far superior to ordinary soldiers?"

Huo Yan knows the elegant meaning when he hears string songs.

His eyes flooded, he stared at Lou Yu's slightly tired face, and smiled even more: "Your Highness's thoughts coincide with mine."

The bow and arrow battalion, cavalry battalion, and elite division are all in his plan, but they are not perfect yet, and he hasn't had time to discuss with Lou Yu.

This kind of "heart-to-heart" made him feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

The person in front of him will always have wonderful ideas to surprise him.

Lou Yu was also very happy, feeling that Huo Yan really understood him and was so considerate, he couldn't help but said happily: "Then let's discuss it together."

The two chatted for a long time, until it was dark and Lou Yu's stomach was growling, and they came back to their senses.

They looked at each other and smiled.

Lou Yu felt that Huo Yan could keep up with his thoughts and understand some of his modern thoughts and ideas, so he was really his good brother and comrade in arms!

Huo Yan thinks that the son's wisdom is extraordinary, and he trusts him so much, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his Bole.

The two of them stared under the lamp for a moment, feeling a bit of sympathy for each other.

Lou Yu covered his stomach, ordered Feng Erbi to prepare a meal, and took advantage of the opportunity to invite Huo Yan: "Let's stay and eat together."

"Okay." Huo Yan naturally would not refuse.

Lou Yu usually eats a relatively light dinner. After the dishes were served, he suddenly remembered that Huo Yan's daily training is a physical effort, and eating such a light meal can't replenish energy, so he ordered Feng Erbi: "Let the kitchen cook another meat dish."

"Your Highness, do you want to eat meat today?" Feng Erbi went down with a smile and ordered.

After a while, the dishes were served.

Lou Yu said: "Put it in front of Huo Yan, I won't eat it."

Seeing the surprise in Huo Yan's eyes, he explained: "You have a lot of training on weekdays, and your physical strength is exhausted quickly, so eat more meat to supplement."

Huo Yan lowered his eyes and let out a soft "hmm", before speaking after a while: "You should also eat more meat."

"I have something to eat, eat it quickly, it will be cold in a while." Lou Yu urged him.

The flickering candlelight filled the room with warmth.

Huo Yan's chest was warm and warm, and while Lou Yu was eating with his head down, he stared at Lou Yu for a long time, his eyes seemed to be filled with light.

As he ate and ate, Lou Yu's eyes could hardly be opened.

It is said that people are more likely to be sleepy when they are full.

Lou Yu simply pushed the bowl away, got up and said in a daze, "Eat first, I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, without waiting for Huo Yan's reaction, he went straight into the inner room and lay down.

Feng Erbi lit the incense for him, and then came out lightly, with a distressed face, and said in a low voice:

"After returning from the capital, His Highness hasn't had much rest. He's exhausted these days."

Huo Yan nodded, and the rice in the bowl was too much to eat.

He also lowered his voice: "I heard that Mr. Feng is learning massage and correcting recently. Huo thinks the technique is good. I wonder if you are willing to learn it?"

Feng Erbi subconsciously asked: "Compared with Yuanwei?"

Huo Yan's eyes darkened: "Iris?"

"Don't you remember? When we were in the capital, the beauty given to His Highness by the Holy Majesty was very good. After His Highness came back, he still missed him, saying that I am not as good as him, alas!"

Huo Yan said firmly: "I am better than him."

The Huo family trains and fights all year round. In order to unblock their muscles and bones, they naturally need to press and correct.

This technique of rectification is specially sought out by famous doctors for advice. Proficiency in acupoints and the direction of tendons is of great benefit to the body.

Feng Erbi knew that he never spoke big words, so he agreed happily: "Okay, I accept your love."

In order to surprise Lou Yu, Feng Erbi finds Huo Yan secretly every day to learn the corrective techniques, and Li Shu is the subject of the experiment.

"I said Master Feng, your hand strength is too weak, I don't feel it, it's Huo Yan who pressed it with ease!"

Li Shu criticized ruthlessly.

Feng Erbi patted him on the shoulder, and said angrily: "Do you think His Highness is as rough as you?"

"Too."

Thinking of His Highness Shizi's elegant figure, Li Shu was deeply impressed.

He criticized Huo Yan again: "I said Commander Huo, you have this skill, why didn't you show anything when I was pressed to death by those bastards?"

Huo Yan said lightly: "You don't need it."

Li Shu wailed: "I need it!"

"Oh."

Feng Erbi laughed and said, "Are those soldiers under your command as smart as me? Even if Huo Yan teaches them, they won't be able to learn."

Li Shu: "..."

Master Feng is really immodest!

After learning [-]% to [-]% of Feng Erbi, he found an opportunity to give Lou Yu a massage.

As soon as he got started, Lou Yu realized something was wrong.

"I haven't pressed it for a few days. You have made great progress. Which teacher did you learn from?"

Feng Erbi is mysterious: "
