Prince Rui, don't spoil your adopted daughter too much: she will eventually get married

"Your Majesty, one hundred thousand taels, not a cent less."

Everyone was a little bit unbelievable when they heard this. There really was someone who was willing to give 100,000 taels of silver.

They had never seen so much money in their lives, it was so white that some people drooled at the sight of the silver.

Feng Chenyi said coldly: "Then this king thanks you on behalf of all the people in Fengling City."

Dayi stood up and said, "The silver has been brought, and I will also give the message to the escort leader. I will return soon."

The soldiers who realized it later said happily: "That's great, we have money now, we don't have to pay out of our pockets."

"At first, the prince said he wanted to raise money to build a canal, but none of us believed him."

"I didn't expect the prince to actually do it. He's so amazing at such a young age."

Feng Chenyi listened to these words of praise without a trace of expression on his face. He leaned over to Qi Nuo and said something. Qi Nuo shouted and announced, "The prince has ordered that the silver has arrived. All soldiers must work together to complete the project within seven days. If anyone causes trouble again, they will be punished by military law."

The silver was already in front of them, and the soldiers present knelt down one after another, saying, "As you command."

Even Lieutenant General Li and the people behind him had no choice but to kneel down. Qi Nuo and Zhai Yun followed suit, saying, "We fully support His Majesty."

The canal construction was in full swing, and Zhai Yun also began to rectify the internal affairs of the Hongxi Escort Agency and reorganize the various people recruited.

Those strong men are taught martial arts by the freshmen and sophomores, those who do odd jobs are taught rules by the juniors, the kitchen is supervised by the seniors, the fifths are responsible for receiving and negotiating with the caravans, and the sixths are responsible for continuing to recruit people.

The escorts have to face bandits, and they definitely cannot deliver so many escorts. Zhai Yun ordered Dawu to spread the news that Hongxi Escort Agency can only escort one caravan at a time, and the highest bidder will win.

When the news that only one caravan would be escorted at a time spread, there was an uproar at the entrance of Hongxi Escort Agency. Many merchants came with banknotes just to ask people from Hongxi Escort Agency to escort the caravan.

Even a warrior who was used to seeing life and death was overwhelmed by these tedious matters. Two days later, Dawu came to Zhai Yun with a bitter face and asked, "Can you give me a different job?"

He even forgot to address her, and looked at Zhai Yun with a somewhat crazy look.

Being able to force the assassins to this extent, Zhai Yun also felt that her allocation was a little unreasonable, "No."

"Why!" Da Wu slammed his hand on the table angrily. "You have no idea how difficult those people are. They've agreed that it doesn't matter how much money you offer. No one can agree to it first."

Seeing Dawu on the verge of madness, Zhai Yun said, "Because you are smart."

Most of the death squads were old-fashioned and followed a routine, but Dawu was different. He was very young, and within two years of joining the death squad he had already stood out and taken the lead, so his nature was not completely destroyed.

If he couldn't handle those people, no one else could.

Seeing Dawu so excited, Zhai Yun taught him to take a deep breath: "Don't be anxious."

"We've been escorting the caravans for so many days now, the drinking water channel is almost finished, and there are countless caravans coming, but we haven't decided which one to take on. There are already rumors out there that the Hongxi Escort Agency is just a name for nothing." Dawu became increasingly impatient as he spoke.

"It will definitely not work if you call so many people together. Have you ever thought about interviewing each of them one by one, and then arranging them in order of priority according to their final bids?" Zhai Yun began to give advice.

"Let's queue up. With so many people, how long will it take? I think we are still short of manpower. If we gather another thirty or fifty people to take on the escort work, the monthly income will be considerable according to their bids!" Xiao Wu was anxious when he saw that Zhai Yun was making a lot of money.

Zhai Yun looked at the angry Da Wu and reminded him, "We at Hongxi Escort Agency are not here to make money. Besides, scarcity makes things valuable. If we take on all kinds of escorts, the price won't be this high. Just look at how much other escort agencies make per trip, and then look at how much we make per trip, and you'll understand."

Besides, it is so difficult to recruit people from Fengling City, and using all of them as death squads will only arouse suspicion.

After hearing what Zhai Yun said, Da Wu began to calm down. He really had not asked about the prices of other escort agencies, but no escort agency dared to run the route from Beihuang to Tianjin Kingdom, so the price of Hongxi Escort Agency was high.

Zhai Yun asked Dawu to figure it out on his own, while she bought a beggar's chicken from the street and brought two jars of wine back to the general's mansion.

Feng Chenyi hasn't come back for several days. Zhai Yun is very worried about him and cannot take time off from Hongxi Escort Agency to see him. Those six men are used to being death squads and don't know how to adapt to many things.

The escort agency is in a mess and they still need time to adapt.

They were a mess when it came to managing people. They would draw their swords at any time. Zhai Yun confiscated their swords to ensure that no one died tragically at their hands. I really don't know when they can get used to it.

Zhai Yun changed her clothes, left the general's mansion, and rode her horse straight to Feng Chenyi's camp.

They had never been apart for such a long time in this life. She wanted to see Feng Chenyi and want to know if he was progressing well.

It was already late at night when Zhai Yun arrived at Feng Chenyi's tent. The lights in all the tents along the way had been turned off, only Feng Chenyi's tent was still as bright as day.

When Zhai Yun arrived, there were only soldiers guarding outside the tent. When she entered the tent, she saw Feng Chenyi who was still looking at the picture, and Qi Nuo who was serving tea beside him.

Qi Nuo saw Zhai Yun come forward and bowed, "Hello, young master."

When Feng Chenyi heard that it was Zhai Yun who came, he suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with light, and the corners of his mouth raised, "It's so late, why did you come here alone?"

She had six assassins around her, but she didn't bring any of them with her.

Feng Chenyi stood up, put down the work in his hands, walked to the tea table and sat down, poured a cup of tea and handed it to the person opposite him, and said slowly: "It's cold at night, drink a cup of tea to warm yourself up."

It was indeed cold and windy at night. Zhai Yun had already brushed off the sand on her body before entering the tent.

Zhai Yun raised the wine and beggar's chicken in her hands and said, "The food in the camp is not very good! Look what I brought you."

Zhai Yun sat down and opened the oilcloth covering the beggar's chicken. A rich aroma filled her face. Zhai Yun could not wait to tear off the chicken leg and handed it to Feng Chenyi. "This is the most delicious beggar's chicken in the north of Fengling City Street. Try it."

Feng Chenyi took the chicken leg that Zhai Yun handed over, took a bite, and chewed it slowly, "It's really delicious."

Seeing Feng Chenyi enjoying his meal, Zhai Yun was also very happy. She felt that it was worth it for her to come all night. She opened the wine and poured a glass for herself and Feng Chenyi respectively.

"Brother Yi, why aren't you resting yet so late?" Zhai Yun looked at the messy drawings on the desk, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Feng Chenyi finished his chicken leg and took a sip of wine. "It's okay, I'm just looking to see if there's anything I can improve."

As Feng Chenyi spoke, his brows slowly furrowed, but he didn't look like he was fine at all.
