Become a feudal king from today

"Your Highness, this is Wang Yanzhong, the head of the Yanjun Yachang."

In the living room, a middle-aged man wearing a black satin gown was lying on the ground.

"Caomin Wang Yanzhong meets His Highness."

After Liu Fu introduced him, Wang Yanzhong kowtowed to Zhao Xu.

"No courtesy." Zhao Xu looked at Wang Yanzhong.

His face was dark and there was a scar on his chin.

In ancient times, the dental industry was a human trafficking business.

From high-ranking officials to ordinary people, anyone who needs slaves or maids at home can turn to them.

This trade was legal in this era.

Zhao Xu's visit to him was naturally a business transaction.

As the saying goes, there is a specialization in a profession.

If you are in this business, you naturally know how to attract people.

What he needs most right now is population.

Whether it is to be used as a member of the royal family's army, or used for farming, or used to develop various technologies in the next step.

"I am looking for you because I want to buy some slaves. I wonder how many you have in your hands?" Zhao Xu asked.

He had just received one hundred thousand taels of silver from the Zhang family, and he could use it to buy some slaves.

Wang Yanzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Although dental work is a legitimate business, it is certainly the most despised.

Like brothels, they often face difficulties from the government.

On the way here, he was worried, fearing that King Yan would cause trouble for him.

Hearing this, he felt relieved a lot.

He said: "Back to Your Highness, the common people have three hundred slaves in their hands, including 156 young men, 63 women, and some are craftsmen. I wonder what your Highness needs?"

Zhao Xu looked disappointed, there were too few people.

However, Yan County is only a small place, so one cannot expect too much.

He asked: "Women, how much is a young woman worth? How much is a craftsman worth?"

"There are five taels for unskilled women and young men, ten taels for craftsmen, and fifteen taels for singers..."

Zhao Xu nodded, "I want them all."

Now the royal family's army has been established, and the soldiers of Yanjun County have been controlled.

In addition to daily training, all he has to do is provide them with excellent weapons and armor.

Only in this way can a strong army be built.

Otherwise, how could a group of soldiers who were at the same level as the private soldiers of a wealthy family protect Yan County.

The Beidi people who dominate Yanzhou and invade like fire are no joke. If they want to defeat more with less, they must have their own sharp teeth and claws.

Therefore, he took over the forging of weapons and armor. He wanted to use the advanced technology in his mind to give his army the best things.

After all, wouldn’t it be silly to not use it when there are advantages?

And this is why there is an urgent need for young people and craftsmen. He wants to put aside the war situation of the government and start a new one.

"The common people will bring it to His Highness tomorrow morning." Wang Yanzhong was very happy.

I didn't expect to encounter such a big deal.

Zhao Xu had no intention of letting Wang Yanzhong go back just like that.

He said: "Do you want to do a big business with the palace?"

"Big business? Isn't this big business?" Wang Yanzhong showed a puzzled expression.

Zhao Xu shook his head, "Can a business of more than a thousand taels of silver be called a big business? What I want to do with you is a business of one million taels or tens of millions of taels. If you do well, I will consider you in the future. I’ll give you an official position in the palace.”

"One million taels, ten million taels, an official and a half-job?" Wang Yanzhong was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

He is just a humble person, he has never had such extravagant hopes.

After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't guess what Zhao Xu was thinking, so he said: "I hope your highness will make it clear?"

"I want to buy your tooth shop. From now on, you will work in the palace, in Dasong, on the grasslands, and on the sea to collect people for the palace. How about it?" Zhao Xu said lightly, "Of course, if you don't want to, forget it."

Wang Yanzhong was stunned.

I don’t understand why King Yan wants so many people.

He is the King of Yan, the Lord of Yan County, and the entire Yan County belongs to him, so why worry about having no one?

But then he thought about it, and this seemed to be an opportunity.

His dental business is only a small business, and he is looked down upon by others.

After the palace bought it, he became a subordinate of the palace.

As King Yan said, if you can find an official position in the future, it will be like smoke rising from your ancestors' graves.

At that moment, he kowtowed again and said: "His Highness favors me, how dare I disobey you? I look forward to His Highness's support in the future."

"That's very good." Zhao Xu smiled.

He bought the tooth shop to prepare for a rainy day.

The population of Yan County is the smallest in Yanzhou.

This is just like a person who is born with a weak body and cannot withstand hardships.

Perhaps a battle with the Beidi people would cause greater losses, and Yan County's young men would be exhausted.

What's more, most people in Yan County are still in the hands of wealthy families.

The purpose of collecting all the refugees from Dasong through Yaxing and heading to Yan County is to make up for this.

After all, instead of letting the many refugees in Dasong lose their land and die in vain, it is better to gather them under his own banner and build his territory.

And he will give them a new life.

However, this was his first contact with Wang Yanzhong.

He didn't know who he was, so he said to the servant standing at the door, "Zhou Yi, from today on, you and Wang Yanzhong will be responsible for the dental work."

This Zhou Yi was one of the servants who rebelled against Liu Fu.

He was sent there to supervise Wang Yanzhong.

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhou Yi said.

Liu Fu suddenly became the royal master of the palace.

They are also envious.

Zhao Xu gave him an errand at this time, and he felt excited.

Wang Yanzhong has been practicing for a long time, and Wang Yanzhong is also a good person, so he naturally understands Zhao Xu's intention.

He didn't point it out and said, "Brother Zhou, starting from today, the two of us will work for the palace together. If I offend you, please bear with me."

"Don't worry, just do your best for His Highness." Zhou Yigong raised his hand.

Zhao Xu glanced at the two of them and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you will do your best to collect refugees and go to various places to redeem slaves and maidservants. Craftsmen who need silver can just get it from the palace."

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Yanzhong and Zhou Yi responded at the same time.

After deciding the matter, Zhao Xu asked Wang Yanzhong to go to the warehouse to get the silver.

One code equals one code, and the money used to buy slaves and tooth shops must be given to him.

After the two left, Liu Fu said: "Your Highness, this population is very expensive. If this continues, the palace's money will not last long."

Zhao Xu left the living room with his hands behind his back, recalling the wine he drank at the lunch banquet, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have a way to make money right now."

Liu Fu was surprised.

I wonder if King Yan is a god? An idea occurs in the blink of an eye.

He was still in shock when he saw Zhao Xu calling a servant over.

"You go find a clay pot and a length of bamboo tube, cut a hole in the pot, insert the bamboo tube, and then set up a stove." "Zhao Xu said.

Although the servant was confused, he still obeyed the order.

Not long after, two servants came over carrying a clay pot.

Just as he requested, a hole was made in the pot and a bamboo tube as thick as a wrist was inserted.

"What does His Highness want this thing for?" Liu Fu looked strange.

"Have you been drinking?"

"Of course, if anyone in the world doesn't drink, even that woman can drink." Liu Fu said matter-of-factly.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly and said proudly, "It's just that the wine they drank is no better than ordinary wine, but my wine will be comparable to fairy wine."
