Chapter 75 Movement
"Brother, can you buy some clothes after dinner?"

In a restaurant in Chang'an City, Liu Qiaoyu asked after sitting down.

It has been five days since Chen Songlun was killed and Gao Yaofeng was captured.

Yang Yuze posted a notice in the afternoon that the Prime Minister's Mansion was recruiting personal guards.

Anyone with a clean identity in the world can come and apply for the election, and the treatment will be favorable.

How to improve the law, Feng Jiang now knows a lot through Xu Jianxi.

For personal guards of the same level, the treatment given by Xiang Wangfu is about [-]% higher than the average level of many palaces.

Don't look at it as more than half, it's already amazing.

This kind of treatment can be ranked among the top ten in many palaces.

As for the number of personal guards in the royal palace, the imperial court actually did not make clear regulations, but the royal palaces were very tacit and did not dare to recruit too many.

In addition to avoiding the suspicion of the court, raising more personal guards requires a larger expense.

The annual salary given by the imperial court to the Wangfu is limited, even if the Wangfu has its own way to get money, the various expenses in other places are not small.

King Xiang was regarded as a deposed emperor. Although his salary was good, he had no foundation in Chang'an, and there were almost no other ways to get money.

It is very difficult to maintain the average number of personal guards in the palace, not to mention that the treatment is still going up.

The number of guards recruited this time is about a hundred, and their strength is above the second-rate. There will be three levels of treatment according to their strength.

They are second-rate, first-rate and top-notch respectively.

As for the peerless world, it is hard to come by.

A hundred people spend at least 10 taels a year.

This cost is not only the money that each person receives every year, the palace also has to be responsible for some of the pills, exercises, etc. they need for their practice, as well as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Adding them all up, it's about the same number, just a little more.

As far as Feng Jiang got the news, the savings of the palace was only a few hundred thousand taels.

If there is no other income, I am afraid it will not last for two years.

The financial pressure of the palace is very high.

This is Feng Jiang's idea.

However, this is decided by the princess, how can he control so much as a bodyguard head, the palace will never default on his salary, right?
He didn't want a farce asking for salary at the gate of the palace.

"I don't know how much money we can get from Guangjin Trading Company." Feng Jiang thought to himself.

Before the princess mentioned Guangjin Commercial Bank, it was not just for revenge.

Now that you know you can't move the Tian family, you must strive for the greatest benefit for yourself.

Among them, I want to get a sum of money for the palace.

When the time comes, the imperial court will confiscate the Guangjin Commercial Bank on the charge of colluding with the assassin of the King Xiang, and part of the silver will be given to the palace by the imperial court.

King Xiang was frightened by this, and now that he has found out the truth, the court can't say nothing at all.

Feng Jiangzhuo felt that there should be several 10 taels.

At that time, the cooperation between Wang Fu and Wei's Commercial Bank will be on the right track, and the financial problem should not be too big.

"Didn't you buy two sets?" Feng Jiang pointed to a bag on the table, "Is that enough?"

"Which is enough?" Liu Qiaoyu shook her head hastily and said, "Brother, your status is different now, you can't dress sloppily, you don't care, but you have to take into account the face of the palace. If you want me to say, you have to buy two more sets."

Liu Qiaoyu lowered her voice when the word 'Wangfu' was mentioned.

"What you said makes sense." Feng Jiang nodded and said, "Well, then you can choose a few."

"I~~I don't need it."

"Your elder brother is not short of money right now." Feng Jiang said with a chuckle, "Are you afraid you can't afford a few clothes?"

"Come on, then it's settled. Tomorrow we'll go to Xiangwang's Mansion to apply for a personal guard." Suddenly, a person from the rivers and lakes at the table next to him slapped the table and shouted loudly.

The voice was loud and abrupt, which startled the little girl.

Liu Qiaoyu blinked at Feng Jiang with her big eyes, which meant that she was talking about us and you.

Feng Jiang is the chief guard of the palace, in fact, he is also the chief guard, and he will be the leader of these people at that time.

Whether he can be hired or not, Feng Jiang holds the power of life and death, and the power is not small.

In the past few days, Feng Jiang's early work was almost done, mainly assisted by Xu Jianxi, and many things that seemed a little confusing to him were solved with his help.

He didn't come out to be lazy, he bought clothes and took Liu Qiaoyu around the city just by the way.

The real purpose is to see how much commotion there is in the city after the notice of the Prince Xiang's Mansion recruiting personal guards is posted.

Judging from the observation in the morning, Feng Jiang was quite satisfied.

Tomorrow is the day to recruit personal guards. If there are not enough people coming over, or if the strength is not enough, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
For now, Feng Jiang believes that some suitable candidates should be selected tomorrow.

There are a lot of people from all walks of life in the city, and most of them are talking about the recruitment of personal guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Five days was actually a bit rushed, and those who got the news and arrived in time were almost all the Jianghu sects within a few hundred miles of Chang'an City.

In this way, there will not be too much room for Feng Jiang to choose.

Of course, there are pros and cons.

The disadvantage is as mentioned above, most of the applicants are disciples from the surrounding sects, and a few are people from the rivers and lakes who happen to be near Chang'an City.

On the plus side, most of them are disciples of local sects, so it can be said that they are relatively knowledgeable.

Even if you don't know, just ask Yang Yuze and you will know.

Moreover, the sect of these people is near the city of Chang'an, if something goes wrong with the disciples selected as personal guards, the sect will not be able to escape the responsibility.

As the saying goes, if you run away from the monk, you can't run away from the temple.

Therefore, the disciples who come to apply for employment should be reliable.

Unlike some people from the rivers and lakes whose origins are unknown, perhaps they are strong enough.

But this has great hidden dangers.

Who knows which party he is from?
When choosing the personal guards of the palace, everything must be based on safety, and there must be trade-offs in some aspects.

Hearing someone talking about applying for a personal guard, Liu Qiaoyu was sensible and silent, and quietly accompanied Feng Jiang to listen to these people's discussions.

As soon as this topic came out, it quickly ignited the interest of many people in the world in the restaurant.

Of the ten Jianghu people present here, I am afraid that half of them want to enter the palace, and the other half do not want to, but are not strong enough.

"Oh, I was almost there. If I were given another three years, I would definitely be able to break through to the second rate."

"Three years? Are you kidding? Let the palace wait for you for three years? Besides, so what if you break through? I heard that among the second-tier, those who don't have the strength in the later stage are useless."

"The requirements are too high. We third-rates have no chance at all."

"I heard that the chief guard of the palace is a young man?"

"He's from out of town, right? Not only is he young, but he's too young. Guess how old this Director Feng is?" a burly man with cheeks said loudly.

"The chief guard of the palace, no matter how young you are, you should be in your 30s, right?"

"I think it should be within 30 years old, otherwise it wouldn't surprise everyone so much."

Many people here are from the rivers and lakes from outside the city. They have never seen Feng Jiang, but only heard about some deeds.

"It makes sense. It is said that he was the one who saved Prince Xiang. Those assassins are extremely skilled. It is already amazing that they are extremely skilled when they are around 30 years old."

The local Jianghu man listened to these people's guesses, his face was full of smiles.

"Hey, brother, don't be foolish, just say what you know. Judging by your expression, it seems that we have guessed wrong. You can't be considered young when you are over 40, right? You can't be in your early twenties, right?"

"In your early twenties? Thank you for being able to speak. Young is young. Is there such a master in the Jianghu?"

"Haha~~ You are underestimating people and this world. I will satisfy your curiosity, so let me tell you that Director Feng should be less than 20 years old this year."

"Bullshit."

"Come on, make up a decent story."

Obviously, many people present did not believe it.

Some local people just smiled and didn't say much. They really haven't seen the real Feng Jiang, so it's hard to say.
