Chapter 392: Official Xu

"Report to Lord Chengshou, everything is going well!" Guo Quan saluted Wu Kai respectfully. He had been dealing with Sun Xiao before. Sun Xiao was a typical soldier, bold and neat. He only looked at the results and worked hard like Guo Quan. People like this kind of chief the most, and now a city guard suddenly came, but he seemed to be a literati, Guo Quan couldn't help but feel agitated, wondering if this new city guard would do anything wrong. Picking his nose and raising his eyes, in order to establish his own prestige, an ordinary officer will definitely use a few people to kill him.

"That's good, that's good!" Wu Kai smiled all over his face, "Sit, sit!" Looking back inside the tent, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. There was only one chair in the whole big tent, but where did the guests sit? , Damn Sun Xiao, no matter how difficult it is here, it’s not even short of a few chairs, right?

"Don't dare to be, dare not be, my lord!" The more polite Wu Kai became, the more worried Guo Quan became.

"Forget it, now that Jishi City is being created and everything is simple, we don't have to be so polite. I'm new here, but you are an old man. I heard from General Sun that this Jishi City has grown from scratch, and you should live here." Half of the credit is due, most of the construction of the city now goes to the city guard's mansion, so please take care of it."

"Don't dare. Guo Quan was originally a slave. He was rescued by General Sun. Not only was he freed, but he was valued by General Sun and entrusted with a heavy responsibility. There is no reason not to repay him with death." Yes, the little old man doesn't have any other strengths, he just does things in a down-to-earth manner."

Wu Kai laughed loudly, "Old Guo, you are in charge of building the city. What a big deal this is. How can you do it just by being practical?"

Guo Quan's heart skipped a beat, is this coming? He held his breath and waited for the new city guard to find fault with him. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, Wu Kai said something. "Is there anything embarrassing for you to come to me today?"

Guo Quan was stunned, and then realized, "Yes, Lord Wu, now outside the city, tens of thousands of people have come from Langya, and the earliest arrival in Jishi City was nearly a month, and the latest was about ten days ago. , I just watched us provide food for them all day long. But they didn’t do anything, just idle around every day, I was thinking, can they be allocated to us, what I’m short of now is manpower, if they Give it to me, I can guarantee that the outer city wall of Jishi City can be completed a long time in advance."

"A long time in advance?" Wu Kai smiled and said, "How long is it?"

Guo Quan gritted his teeth. "General Sun originally asked me to complete the construction of the outer city wall by June tomorrow. If all these people allocate to me, I can guarantee that it will be three months in advance."

Wu Kai nodded repeatedly. "Okay, I know about this, but Lao Guo, there is no rush for this matter. You wait, wait. I will give you an answer in a few days, okay?"

"Yes!" Guo Quan looked a little sad,

He bowed and bowed to Wu Kai: "If your lord has no other orders, then I'll go down and do things."

Wu Kai smiled and looked at Guo Quan: "Old Guo, you are in charge of such a big deal, what title did General Sun give you?"

Guo Quan was stunned, "General Sun just ordered me to deploy manpower to build the city, but he didn't say anything else."

"How can this be done? If the name is not right, the words will not be right. How can you not have a name if you are in charge of such a big deal? General Sun was busy with the military before, and he didn't think of it. Now that Jishi Mountain City has appointed I am the city guard, so I have to set up this frame, Lao Guo, I am going to set up a worker under the city guard mansion, who is responsible for the construction of the city, you, just come and be the hero. If you need some officials, you can appoint these people, I think you have some useful people under your command now." Wu Kai dismissed another official, anyway, Gao Yuan asked him to be the city guard, now the city guard The Shoufu is empty, and there are a lot of vacancies, not to mention that this Guo Quan can build the outer city of Jishi City to such a large scale in a short period of time, he must be a capable guy, and because he was born as a slave, The work is solid, and this official position can make people feel at ease.

It took Guo Quan a while to realize, is this an official? Can I still be an official in my life? Can I be an official even if I don't know a single word?

"What's the matter, don't you want to?" Wu Kai said with a smile: "I still think the official is too small?"

"No, no, no!" Guo Quan shook his hands violently, "My lord, a villain who doesn't know a single word, how can he be such a hero?"

"What are you afraid of if you don't know how to read?" Wu Kai chuckled, "As long as you can do something!" He approached Guo Quan and said mysteriously: "Do you know that General Sun can read and write? Oh, yes, he should be able to read and write now." A few words, at least he can understand the order, at the beginning, he was just like you, he didn't know a single word."

Looking at Wu Kai's appearance, Guo Quan immediately felt that the previous high-ranking city guard had drawn closer to him, and when he thought that he could still be an official in his old age, he immediately burst into tears of gratitude. Kneeling down, "The villain must do his best to build this city well and firmly for the adults."

"It's not for me, it's for General Gao Yuangao!" Wu Kai patted him on the shoulder, "Get up, don't call yourself a villain in the future, in front of me, you have to call yourself a subordinate official, in front of the subordinates, you have to call yourself an official Hahaha, get up, how much salary did General Sun pay you before?"

"There is food to eat and a place to sleep here. People like me, what do you ask for money? On the contrary, the peasants who built the city are paid wages every day. But after the wages are paid, they will not provide food." Guo Quan was delighted. He is obviously still very happy to have won the official position of meritorious service here.

"This Sun Xiao, really wants the horse to run again, and doesn't let the horse eat grass!" Wu Kai shook his head again and again, "Old Guo, you are a meritorious serviceman in Jishi City, and your monthly salary will be five guanqian from now on. Already, the officials under you will report back to you, and each person will receive a monthly payment at the city guard’s mansion on the 1st of each month.”

"Thank you, my lord!" Guo Quan thanked again and again, "Actually, I am alone, and I have no place to spend the money I received."

"What's the matter, you are not young anymore, don't you have any family?"

"Small man, oh no, Xiaguan is fifty-one this year. He originally had family members, but unfortunately they all died later, leaving Xiaguan alone." Guo Quan became a little sad.

"That's how it is!" Wu Kai sighed, "Fifty-one, it's not too big, Lao Guo, save your salary in the future, marry a daughter-in-law, and have a few fat boys. There are three ways to be unfilial. The future is great! You are now my worker in Jishi City, with status and status, is it not easy to find a woman as a wife?"

After sending away Guo Quan who was full of joy, Wu Kai felt his tongue dry. He turned his head and glanced inside the tent, but he didn't even see a water bottle. He called out to Wu Yi, his servant who came from Fufeng, "Wu Yi, Wu Yi, bring a pot of hot water."

Wu Yi's promise came from over there, but she didn't hear her daughter's noise. It seemed that she was tired from the quarrel and had no strength. Tomorrow, she called two guards to take her out for a walk to see the scenery of the desert. , maybe it can make this baby lump happier. To be honest, the situation here is really too hard, completely beyond my expectations. This Sun Xiao has always led soldiers before, and Niulan Mountain was built entirely by soldiers. Now that a city as large as Jishi Mountain City is built, all the people are basically peasants. He is also the same, thanks to Guo Tsuen was born as a slave, and with sincerity and sincerity, he managed the matter to a certain extent, but after a long time, it was inevitable that there would be no problems.

When Wu Yi came over with a copper pot of hot water, Tang He just came back, and behind him was a tall, thin man in a green shirt, but on his face that should have been fair, now there were two It's blushing, and there are some faint blood spots. Needless to say, it was frozen out in this cold place. From Langya to Jishi Mountain, the climate has indeed changed a lot.

"Master Wu, this is Mr. Fan Dengke, Director Fan!" Tang He reported back to Wu Kai.

"Boss Fan, thank you for your hard work. Coming here from Langya must be a lot of inconvenience, right?" Wu Kai greeted Fan Dengke warmly and took the initiative to greet Fan Dengke.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the weather is too cold!" Fan Dengke rubbed his hands, "Master Wu, it's good if you come, this is finally a person who can talk, the former General Sun, will Once we throw it there, we don't care, how many things will happen to these tens of thousands of people, to be honest, I haven't slept a good night's sleep these days!"

"Wu Yi, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and find some stools over there, bring some tea, and make the tea." Wu Kai yelled at Wu Yi, then turned to Fan Dengke and said, "Sun The general is a warrior, and he does things straightforwardly, to be honest, I'm afraid he doesn't know how to place these people, so he can only put you there first."

"How do you say that?" Fan Dengke changed his face.

"President Fan, don't be angry, didn't you just send me here?" Wu Kai said with a smile.

Wu Yi brought a few stools over, Wu Kai asked Fan Dengke to sit down, served hot tea, and said to Tang He who was standing aside: "Master Tang, please remember, Guo Quan is now our city guard. I will let him appoint five officials on his own, and he will report the candidates later, and you have to write it down. Everyone has a monthly salary. Oh, yes, Mr. Tang, you In the future, the monthly salary will also be five guan."

After saying all this, he turned his head and looked at Fan Dengke who was a little stunned. Wu Kai smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I just took office today, and this city guard's mansion is just an empty shell with nothing. Master Bo and Guo Gongcao were all appointed by me just now."

Fan Dengke really couldn't imagine what such a sloppy city guard can do, thinking about the tens of thousands of people under his command, he couldn't help but look sad for a while, "Master Fan, how can you deal with such an empty city guard?" The problem we are facing now?" (To be continued...)
