Chapter 176

: There are no poor families in the upper class, and no noble families in the lower class

The convoy is very large, with dozens of carriages alone. This is to take over the fiefdom, and this is no joke. Naturally, all preparations must be made!

Food is of course indispensable. Xinfeng County is very poor and has little self-produced food, so Wang Kang also brought a lot.

There are still people!

Because she was afraid that Wang Kang would suffer hardship, Su Rongguang, a maid, prepared dozens of them for him, including clothes for change, food and clothing.

It doesn't look like taking over a fiefdom, but going for an outing.

Wang Kang's carriage was in the middle of the team. This horse was also the largest and most luxurious. It was pulled by two horses, and the driver was Liu Jin.

The team leader is Zhou Qing!

A total of three hundred private soldiers of the family, including cavalry and infantry, were guarding both sides of the convoy!

Now that we have a fiefdom, we can build an army of five thousand families, but this must be done step by step and according to the discussions between Wang Kang and Wang Dingchang.

To implement the strategy of elite soldiers, there is not much personnel establishment. If some new recruits are mixed in, the training and support period will be too long...

But mature veterans are hard to come by, and loyalty is also a problem, so this is also a big problem at the moment.

Taking over a fief is not just playing house, it requires a lot, at least enough people to set up a management team.

There is obviously no such person in the Earl's Mansion, but Wang Kang is already prepared...

It was difficult to avoid attracting attention as the majestic motorcade moved forward. A large number of city residents came out from both sides of the street to watch.

"What is this Earl's Mansion going to do? Such a huge formation?"

"You still don't know? Emperor Zhao has issued an imperial decree on the Earl's Mansion fiefdom. The fiefdom is Xinfeng County. He is going to take over the fiefdom!"

"Xinfeng County? It's that poor place, surrounded by mountains, with no villages in front and no shops in the back!"

"That is also a fiefdom. The Governor is suppressing the Earl's Mansion like this. The more he suppresses others, the more powerful he is. Now he even has a fiefdom!"

"If Master Kang is not so powerful, who is better than offending Master Kang?"

"I heard that the one who is here to take over the fiefdom is Master Kang. He also said that he wants to be the city lord!"

"It's really novel for a prodigal son to be the city lord, but Master Kang is not taking over the fiefdom, he is just having fun. Look, the maid alone brought three carriages..."

"Your Majesty Earl Fuyang, you really entrusted such an important matter to Young Master Kang. Young Master Kang is good at having fun and spending money, so how can he manage construction..."

The surrounding citizens were talking and watching the excitement, while Wang Kang was enjoying himself comfortably on his horse.

Xiao Tao gently pressed his shoulders from behind, and Li Qingman beat his legs. It was really nice.

"I haven't even become a city lord yet, but I'm already acting like a city lord!" Li Qingman rolled her eyes at him and said eccentrically.

"You are still the wife of the city lord!" Wang Kang narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiao Tao, please lean forward."

"Yes, closer!"

"Hey, this is so comfortable!"

Seeing this scene, Li Qingman exerted a little force on his hands...

"Ah!" Wang Kang immediately screamed in pain, "What are you doing!"

"Where can I give you some fresh blood?"

"I think you want to make me cripple." Wang Kang said speechlessly.

"Knead it for you," Li Qingman said and started rubbing it gently.

"That's about it." Wang Kang muttered and leaned against Xiao Tao again.

"By the way, when you go to take over Xinfeng County, you only bring this few people with you. You can't just be a mere city lord!" Li Qingman said again.

"You are still smart!" Wang Kang sighed. I am afraid that no one else would have thought of this problem.

"Are you praising yourself? You must have thought of this problem a long time ago." Li Qingman rolled his eyes at him.

"That's right, not only did I think of it, I also solved it!" Wang Kang said proudly.

"Solved? Where did you find the government talents?" Li Qingman asked in surprise.

"You'll know in a minute!" Wang Kang gave up.

At this time, the motorcade had already left Yangzhou City. After a while, the motorcade stopped. Zhou Qing rode to the outside of Wang Kang's carriage and said, "The young master is here to pick you up!"

"Yes!" Wang Kang nodded and smiled at Li Qingman: "Here we come, do you want to come with me to have a look?"

Wang Kang said and jumped off the carriage. Not far from the motorcade, there were three carriages parked. Wang Kang saw Wang Kang walking by and jumped out of the first carriage.

This man was not very old. He looked to be in his early twenties. He was thin and appeared to be elegant. When he saw Wang Kang passing by, he cupped his hands and said, "My Excellency, Luo Bin, is here with a few fellow disciples on the order of the teacher!"

"Haha, thank you for your help, it solved my urgent need." Wang Kang said with a smile.

"We all come from poor backgrounds. Thanks to Master Cai for not giving up our mutual knowledge, we originally wanted to participate in the imperial examination to serve the country and develop our ambitions. However, the current imperial examination system is not careful and the style of discipleship is very strong..."

Luo Bin said again: "We have no other choice, and Master Kang is also a person we respect, so he is willing to serve."

"How can I, a prodigal son, be worthy of Brother Luo?"

"You are not a prodigal son. The students in the entire academy are studying that rare text, but there are still no people who have fully understood it..." Luo Bin said solemnly.

"Haha, it's getting late. How about we hurry on and wait until we get to Xinfeng County to talk about it?" Wang Kang said again.

"Okay, I'll let Master Kang arrange it."

After that, the three carriages merged into the convoy and continued to move forward.

Li Qingman returned to the carriage and said in surprise: "Are they all the people you found from Cai He?"

"Um!"

Wang Kang nodded and said: "They are all poor children and students of Master Cai. The man I saw just now is called Luo Bin. He is the best student of Master Cai. He is well versed in government affairs and good at strategy. He is a good staff member!"

"This really solves your urgent need."

Wang Kang snorted coldly and said: "Although there is imperial examination selection nowadays, the system is not strict. There are no poor families in the upper class, and no noble families in the lower class. These poor children have nothing to learn and have nowhere to use their talents. How sad!"

"I just want to give them an opportunity and a platform to show themselves. Of course they are willing. It's a win-win situation!"

"It seems that you really have a perfect plan!" Seeing what Wang Kang said, Li Qingman sighed.

"That's natural. You can just be your city lord's wife with peace of mind!"

Wang Kanghao said angrily: "When the new Fengcheng is truly established, that's when I will marry you!"

"Then I'll just wait for that day." Li Qingman said with a smile.

"Ha ha!"

At this moment, Zhou Qing's voice came from outside the carriage, "Master, Zhang Yuan, the son of General Zhang Boguang ahead, is here to see you!"

"Zhang Yuan? Are you here to see me off?" Wang Kang thought and got off the carriage again.

Zhang Yuan was also outside the car. He was wearing a military uniform and looked majestic. When he saw Wang Kang coming out, he got off his horse and came up to him and said with a smile: "Brother Kang is not an honest man. He left so suddenly without telling us."

"Don't say goodbye. I did this on purpose, but you still found out." Wang Kang said with the same smile.

We got together a few days ago, and Zhang Yuan also arrived. They ate and drank and chatted happily.

"You've made such a big fuss, it's hard not to know about it!"

Zhang Yuan said something and then said calmly: "I know you are in a hurry, so I won't say much. I am here to deliver something to you on behalf of my father!"
