Chapter 272: The Face of the Lost Country
This time, with Li Zheng's letter, Ge Hong dared to take people to the neighboring Huairou City, saying that it was adjacent, but Zihan's geographical location was too special, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and the two cities were far apart.
As soon as Ge Hong set off here, he walked out of Hanyun Town and rushed towards Huairou City, and before leaving, he told Murong Lie to be ready at all times.
Murong Lie has been very proud recently, with the opening of the Chamber of Commerce in the rest of the towns, the army under his command began to be sent out, two thousand people in Purple Cold City, one thousand people in Pisces Town, and one thousand people in Da'an Town, and his side continued to open the door of convenience, and if the talents in the entire Purple Cold City wanted to enter the army, they could come and sign up.
It didn't take long for the number of people in Murong Lie's military camp to exceed 10,000 again, and this time there were not only the people near Hanyun Town, but also the people from many other towns and Purple Cold City, because the treatment here was good, and after they were discharged, they could go to serve in the Guangyao Chamber of Commerce, which was also a reason why they were tempted. Joining the army can get status and money, and after leaving the army, you can also be assigned a job, such a good thing is unique.
As for Murong Rou's development, the development has slowed down a lot, but the personnel are ready, and she has begun to train a successor, so that she can withdraw in advance, this successor is looking for from the Murong family, which is also an order from Ping'an.
Ping'an didn't want to do things desperately, he knew that he came out mainly to help the Murong family find a place to live abroad, so the shadow of the Murong family must be printed here in Hanyun Town, but this army must be under his control.
Murong Rou's ability is very outstanding, it is a waste to stay in Hanyun Town, as for Ge Hong, although this person is a little conservative, he is very capable and strong, with his realm, let alone a third-class city, even if he goes to a second-class city, he can go sideways. But he is now the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, there are many things that he can't do, and the people he brought with him are not strong, so Ping An had to go out in person and secretly cooperate with Ge Hong.
Ping An is a person from the shadowless organization, and after coming to Hengyuan Country, no one will take care of himself after he only gets a task, and Ping An has no way to contact his superiors, if the above is held accountable, it has nothing to do with him.
After leaving the town, Ping An was not in a hurry, but rode all the way to Huairou City, out of the Purple Cold Territory, into the Huairou City sphere of influence, just arrived here, Ping An felt the gap between this place and the Purple Cold City, although the Purple Cold City is barren, but the people are still living and working in peace and contentment, but when they arrived at the Huairou City sphere of influence, they found that the people here are like walking corpses, mechanical labor, and the vast majority of people have despair in their eyes, as if they have lost confidence in life.
When he arrived in the town, Ping An found that there was a big problem with the management here, the officials and businessmen colluded, and in broad daylight, he could see the rich boy with his subordinates bullying the people on the street, and the patrol team did not care when they passed by, seeing these people laughing arrogantly, Ping An wanted to rush over and kill them. The situation here is better than that of Yong'an Town, where he has stayed, and the wealthy merchants and officials in Yong'an Town can still scruple about it, and here is directly in front of them, no wonder the people can't see hope, there is such a manager, and it is strange to have hope.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was beaten by five or six people, he couldn't stop wailing, and sighed, what happened here is similar to Uncle Yang's encounter with hooligans back then, how good it would be if he had such a realm back then.
Thinking of this, Ping An was a little excited, waved his right hand without a trace, and the mob slaves who were abusing there suddenly stopped, and the rich children who were laughing happily saw the house slaves who stopped, and scolded angrily, just scolded twice, and felt a cold in the throat, and then a sharp pain in the heart struck, and the rich children covered their necks with their hands, and uh screamed twice and turned over and fell.
None of the house slaves who came with him went to help their young master, because they had met Hades one step earlier than their master, and the whole street was in chaos because of the death of the rich children, and no one paid attention to this dusty young man.
After leaving here safely, he rode his horse and continued to rush towards Huairou City, and what he saw along the way was the same as the town before, there was no law at all, and the law became a weapon for officials to deal with rich merchants and the common people here, and the people needed to pay all kinds of taxes, and they couldn't live, and they couldn't die, so it's no wonder that they became insensitive after a long time.
No wonder the Jihadist Alliance can develop so well, numb people need spiritual comfort, the Jihad Alliance can give them what they want, there are naturally many joiners, and after seeing it, Ping An even thought again, whether he would also make a force similar to the Jihad Alliance, independent of the Three Kingdoms, and completely belong to his own forces.
Ping An thought about everything along the way, because he didn't deliberately hide the realm, so that some ill-intentioned people along the way didn't dare to do it.
When I arrived in Huairou City, the bullying situation was better, but it was also relative, and the security situation here was even worse than that of Shenwu Town. There are a lot of people swaggering through the city with a large number of followers on the main street, looking at the calm appearance of the people here, it seems that they have become accustomed to this matter, and after seeing it, he thought to himself that if there is no strength to deter this gang of forces, it is impossible for Guangyao to drive here safely.
From time to time, you can still see people in military uniforms entering and leaving the restaurant in groups, and there are many people who are already drunk when they walk out of the restaurant and need to be helped.
When some ostentatious people saw these soldiers, many of them went up to say hello, and when they saw the enthusiasm of the two sides, Ping An knew that things were a little difficult to do, but they didn't know how familiar the military was with the place.
Although Ping An has no information, he also knows that many cities in Hengyuan Country are controlled by the people sent by the three major powers, and these people come here to loot resources and money, and some even resell the population.
Now that the army is getting bigger and bigger, the Chamber of Commerce is under a lot of pressure, Ping An saw hope from Huairou City, and that afternoon, he sent a message to Murong Lie in the inn, telling him to let Murong Rou bring three thousand people over, not to wear military uniforms, and let them come in batches in the form of uniforms.
Ping'an was afraid that Murong Rou was not familiar with the army, so he specially asked Murong Lie to arrange for her to have a subordinate to come with her.
Ping An is very fond of this kind of chaotic place, in Hanyun Town he is like a tiger locked in a cage, now that the cage is broken, the tiger can finally come out to hunt for food. The major forces in Huairou City don't know that there is a living Hades here.
With Ping'an's current identity and strength, he has no leisure to intrigue with these small forces, he needs an opportunity, and this opportunity needs money to pave the way, so Ping'an can only wait for Ge Hong and Murong Rou to arrive, Ge Hong is relatively slow due to the large number of travelers, Ping'an arrived earlier than he left, and it took two days for Ge Hong and others to come.
Ge Hong first came to the inn to meet Ping'an, Ping'an told him about the situation here, and asked him to prepare a sum of money, he wanted to change the world in Huairou City, Ge Hong didn't say much, and directly gave Ping'an ten deposit tickets issued by the Ancestral Country Money Bank, each with 100,000 gold coins.
Ping An looked at the seal of the ancestral country money bank on it, and said with emotion: "Hengyuan country is probably not saved, even the people don't believe in the national coin, and use the currency of the ancestral country instead." ”
"Yes, the current exchange ratio, one ancestral country gold coin can be exchanged for five Hengyuan country gold coins, the currency issued by the Hengyuan royal family is not bought by the people at all, they are afraid that after Hengyuan dies, the gold coins in their hands, the deposit tickets, will become garbage. ”
"It's the first time I've heard that gold coins will also become garbage, even if Hengyuan dies, when the time comes, the gold coins can be melted and sold as gold. ”
"The young master doesn't know that the gold coins issued by the state are not pure gold, but gold-filled, only the outer layer is gold, and the inside of the gold is iron. ”
After hearing this, Ping An suddenly realized, and then he understood the reason, but Hengyuan did not die in the country, it had nothing to do with him, he just needed to use the environment here to achieve his own goals.
After seeing the peace, Ge Hong came directly to the Huairou Yamen to meet the city lord. The city lord of Huairou knew that the vice president of the Guangyao Chamber of Commerce was very enthusiastic, not only arranged a dinner, but also promised Ge Hong to help him find a good shop, but he didn't mention the reduction of the tax rate, and Ge Hong didn't care, knowing that these guys let themselves open a shop just to collect taxes, they could not care about the life or death of the people, but they cared very much about money.
