Hu Bing left without rejecting or agreeing. For Ling Xin'an, this was a good thing, but it just lacked a strong support.

Time passed by a few days, and Ling Xin'an was still running in the morning, exercising, going to class, and living a regular life every day. After a series of surprises, Butler Yang was sure that Ling Xin'an really didn't want to stay by his side. This could be seen from many things.

For example, during morning exercises every morning, he quietly arranged for Lu Fengxian, whom he trusted, to send some people to protect him along the way. For example, another of his subordinates disappeared during this period.

After retreating from the hall every day, the third young master would hide in the study and not know what he was planning. Everything was so mysterious.

It has been nearly four months since he came to this world. Ling Xin'an's biggest regret is that the nights here are too monotonous. Although Ling Xin'an knows that there are too many things he has to do, there is no manpower to restrain him all the time.

He knew that Butler Yang would be a great helper. After all, he had been following his nominal father for so many years. Trust and loyalty were absolutely reliable, but it was time for Ling Xin'an to let him leave Jiangzhou.

So tonight, Ling Xin'an arranged a barbecue in the inner courtyard.

In this era, barbecue is absolutely new to Shuang'er Xia Xiaoyu, let alone people like Yang Guanjia and Xi'er.

The entire government office was very lively, tasting delicious food that had never been seen before. Ling Xin'an said to Butler Yang: "Butler Yang, this is also a farewell banquet held for you."

As soon as these words came out, Butler Yang's face was startled, and he said in a flash: "Third Young Master, I understand, I will return to the capital tomorrow."

Ling Xin'an nodded: "Go back and tell Father, tell them not to worry, I am fine here."

Butler Yang said: "I will definitely bring you here."

Silent all night, when Ling Xin'an finished sparring with Lu Fengxian again, she saw Butler Yang staring at her, and the latter's face couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Butler Yang, who was about to say goodbye, came in again to watch Ling Xin'an's sparring. This was one of his must-see activities while sitting aside every day.

Then he had to sigh, the third young master's talent is really amazing.

The third young master, who had been a scumbag in his eyes at the beginning, was now more sensible. He fought with Lu Fengxian. Although he would still lose in the end, the gap was narrowing step by step.

His speed and reaction, as well as his calmness when facing the enemy, all prove that Ling Xin'an is definitely a super talented person.

"Three generals in one discipline!" Butler Yang couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time, he felt a little bit regretful that he could no longer follow Ling Xin'an.

Here, not to mention the delicious food, Ling Xin'an's attitude towards the servants is different. Although Ling Xin'an used to be slightly afraid of himself, in his casual eyes, he still maintained his noble pride.

He looks down on himself as a housekeeper, but the current third young master is different. If he doesn't like you, he doesn't like you, but he won't look down on you. In his eyes, everyone is independent. This is what puzzles him the most.

.

Why one drowning can change a person so much has puzzled Butler Yang.

Seeing that there were actually ten carriages and one scooter, Butler Yang couldn't help but blush at this moment, even though he had been the housekeeper of the Ling Mansion for decades.

The ten carriages were loaded with goods, which Ling Xin'an asked Butler Yang to bring back to the capital.

Three salt trucks and three soy sauce trucks were all filled with goods that were available in the capital but were scarce.

The Ling family has a big business, and according to Butler Yang, all these things can only last for half a year at most. If possible, he hopes to bring more.

From the fact that Butler Yang made such a request, Ling Xin'an's trust in him was greatly enhanced. From this point of view, Butler Yang really regarded Ling Mansion as his own residence and was loyal to him, otherwise he would not have done this.

Ling Xin'an naturally has no problem with the housekeeper's requirements. These are very simple to him, so he can take as much as he wants.

The remaining four carriages were filled with mature vinegar and white wine. These items were not yet on the market and could only be seen in the government office.

Vinegar has been around in this world for a long time, but to Ling Xin'an, it was as vulgar and inferior as the coarse salt before, so he taught Xia Xiaoyu a few tricks and let her pour it, and then launched these lightly scented ones.

Aged vinegar.

The same goes for liquor. Ling Xin'an personally filtered and distilled it, and then the world's first bottle of liquor appeared.

But Ling Xin'an did not seek cooperation from the three chambers of commerce, but instead ate and drank in her own yard.

Butler Yang left with doubts and confusion, and a little bit of expectation, looking forward to what new discoveries he would make when he comes back next time.

Even Butler Yang didn't know when his mentality quietly changed, and he didn't feel dissatisfied even if he was driven back to the capital by Ling Xin'an.

Seeing Butler Yang leave, Ling Xin'an could finally let go and do it.

You can also ask Sun Wu to come back.

At night, when Sun Wu stepped into the main hall, Ling Xin'an and Lu Fengxian were waiting for him, and there was a table full of food.

"My lord, fortunately you have lived up to your fate."

Ling Xin'an smiled and said, "Eat quickly and chat after eating."

Looking at the table full of food, Sun Wu's eyes were already shining. He sat down and ate everything in one go, until he burped several times.

Su Wu finished his tea and said, "Sir, we have recruited twenty-three people in total."

Ling Xin'an nodded: "What is the character of these people?"

"Sir, don't worry. Most of them are from low-level positions and have known each other for a long time. Don't worry about their character. I also heard about what you did during this period, and I respect you, so I followed you without saying a word."

"Did you find the place I asked you to look for?"

"Sir, I found it, come with me."

Immediately, Sun Wu, Ling Xin'an and Lu Fengxian, sneaked out from behind without anyone noticing, and walked around to a remote courtyard with four buildings in the north of the city. Before they got close, they heard a low cry: "

who?"

Sun Wu said: "I, Sun Wu."

On the wall, two heads were exposed. After confirming, the door was slowly opened.

Entering the inner courtyard, Ling Xin'an saw four rows of people standing.

They were all teenagers, and despite the night, they still looked at Ling Xin'an with bright eyes, curious and expectant.

Su Wu and Lu Fengxian stood in front of them. No matter how stupid the people behind them were, they knew that this was the Lord Ling that Sun Wu mentioned.

Ling Xin'an cleared her throat: "Everyone, Ling is here today. I don't want to talk about big principles, but only one sentence, that is, if you follow me from now on, you are my people. As long as you are my people, I will be responsible for you to the end.

In this troubled world, I cannot guarantee that everyone will live a long life, but every day that you live, I guarantee that you will live a better life than everyone else."

Sun Wu and others immediately said: "I follow your orders!"

Ling Xin'an waved her hand and signaled everyone to keep their voices low. Soon, Ling Xin'an asked Sun Wu to divide into three groups. Each group had a total of eight people. Now there are only twenty-three people. The other group only has seven people. If the number is not enough, they will be added later.

A team leader was selected, Sun Wu was responsible for the three team leaders, and Sun Wu reported to him.

The inner courtyard was very large, so Ling Xin'an simply sat down and asked everyone to sit in a circle around him.

"Brothers, I am a few years older than you, so I am considered your eldest brother."

"It's not too much!" Someone immediately laughed.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter, and Ling Xin'an also laughed: "Outside, I am your Lord, here, we are brothers. If you are brothers, you won't say too many polite words. We have a lot of things to do in the future, but now everything

We haven't started yet, our foundation is too weak and we need help from all brothers."

"Brother, just say it, don't say whether you want to help or not." A man said.

"Well, I plan to set up three departments, and you will be the first batch of people in these three departments. Some of you may be difficult to meet again after we are separated, so if you have anything to say during this period, please hurry up.

explain."

Everyone's expressions became serious. Sun Wu originally said when he recruited them that what you do must be very dangerous, otherwise you wouldn't be anxious.

"Sir, please speak."

"From now on, you will be my shadow, eyes and ears. From the moment you graduate, you will go to distant places. Where you go, only you know. Everyone will receive a secret letter when they set off, which will tell you what to do and how to do it."

, and how much trouble there is. After that, you will only contact your superiors. Each of you will no longer know each other. Even if you meet somewhere in the future, you must pretend that you do not know each other. You can only contact you unless you receive an order.

, can you do it?”

"It can be done!" everyone said.

Immediately, Ling Xin'an began to train them. There were no skills. He only asked them to memorize as many as they could. He also taught all employees in the future how to become a successful commercial espionage.

It's just that he became a secret agent when he got here. The biggest pain point in Ling Xin'an's heart is that he knows too little information about this world, so many plans are often made unilaterally without accurate information.

It's not practical enough, so he needs to set up his own intelligence network.

Ling Xin'an taught very carefully, and everyone learned more attentively. Today was the first lesson, allowing everyone to understand the importance of information.

In the next half month, Ling Xin'an came over every night to give lectures and train. During the day, Ling Xin'an asked Sun Wu to send one or two of them out every day to explore the wind, combine theory with practice, and share it together in the evening.

The shortcomings are discussed and analyzed.

This unique and novel teaching model immediately made everyone find it interesting and practical.

More importantly, in just half a month, Ling Xin'an had completely mastered the gambling houses in the south of the city and the wealthy families behind them.

Looking at the information in her hands, Ling Xin'an felt that her efforts had finally paid off, and now she was just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Tonight, Ling Xin'an finished her last lesson. After nearly twenty days of cramming training, everyone at this time had an unspeakable aura about them compared to when they first started.

Ling Xin'an knew that from tomorrow on, he didn't know when he would be able to see them again. Looking at the tables full of food, Ling Xin'an raised his glass and said, "Brothers, these food and wine are gifts from me and Sun Wu."

Your banquet, this glass of wine, I toast you all, drink it!"

Everyone picked up their wine glasses and said, "Dry!"

Ling Xin'an waved her hand: "Eat vegetables."

Everyone picked up the bowls and chopsticks in their hands and started eating and drinking. However, within a minute, they heard the sound of someone falling to the ground. This scene fell into the eyes of everyone. They were shocked and fell down one after another before they could react.

Sun Wu and Lu Fengxian looked at Ling Xin'an with terrifying eyes. They saw Ling Xin'an spit out the meat and vegetables in her mouth and said calmly: "This is the last lesson I teach you. I hope you can remember it."
Chapter completed!
