Chapter 367: The Mission

The news of the city lord's going out was not hidden, and most of the people knew that the city lord had no other thoughts when he went out, and the life in Zhangjiacheng was too good, which made people unbelievably happy.

On the official road leading to Maoming County, a group of ordinary people appeared.

"Daddy, how long will it be before we get to where you are?"

Thirteen years old, because of long-term nutritional deficiencies, a tall and thin girl, looking at her father.

A family of more than ten people walked, among which the man was the pillar of this line and wiped a handful of sweat, "Soon, it will be soon to enter the Maoming territory, didn't you listen to what your uncle said, when we arrive in Zhangjiacheng, we will be able to live a good life." ”

The man explained to his daughter that it was better to give himself confidence that if there was no volunteer army, the man would live according to his original way of life, and there would not be much problem.

However, the development of Zhangjiacheng has absorbed the surrounding people like a super typhoon, and the people in several counties near Maoming are empty.

If the local government dares to stop the people, the next day it will gather a volunteer army outside the city, open the city gate, go in and chat with the county magistrate, and the volunteers will not kill anyone, but tell the county magistrate very seriously that it is not right to do so.

Of course, it would be better if the volunteers brought the dagger around the neck of the county magistrate. The volunteers entered the city very purely to warn and then go out of the city, without taking a stitch from the masses.

The volunteers did not occupy the county seat when they broke through, so they could do whatever they wanted, and if the county order was not afraid of being killed by the whole family of the imperial court, they could escape.

The imperial court will not be merciful to the handling of the fleeing county order.

Then there was a strange scene in western Guangdong, the county seat was still the original county seat, and the county magistrate was still terrified, but he lost control of the outside of the city, and the county order who knelt down to the county order on weekdays could only stay in the city.

As for the restraint on the people, it had disappeared by the time the volunteers conquered the county seat. The people's fear of the government is because of the centuries-old rule of the imperial court.

Now it has been bombarded by the artillery of the Volunteer Army, and the anti-thief Li Zicheng in the north of the capital of Beiping, who has long been spread all over the world, has broken through, and the prestige of the imperial court has plummeted.

The three county towns in western Guangdong, Maoming, Zhanjiang, and Yangjiang, belonged to prefecture-level cities according to later generations, and the power of the government almost disappeared, so they could only stay in the county seats.

Chen Zijian did not completely integrate western Guangdong into the territory, not because he was incapable, but because he did not have too many management subordinates.

According to the current development, the millions of people who manage Zhangjiacheng are no longer enough, and it is harmful to expand the territory like that.

At present, it is safe to develop one county in Maoming, and the rest of the places are temporarily unable to develop.

The people who came out of Zhangjiacheng have a task, that is, to "abduct and sell" the population, and the "trafficking" here is not just children, but big and small, as long as they want to go to Zhangjiacheng to do things.

Zhangjiacheng's "son" went to invite people back, and the method was not as simple as that of the volunteers.

At the beginning, the volunteers went to invite people back, and the methods were simple and rude, either follow me or be tied up by Lao Tzu.

"Lingzi" does not have such a great ability, (Yanzi, an ancient child, called by the middleman, here refers to the person who abducts and traffics in human beings) can only play a three-inch tongue, with Zhangjiacheng's specialties, to improve their persuasiveness.

Zhangjiacheng's cheap refined salt, soap and various daily necessities, plus the ruddy face of the "Yanzi", all explain a lot of problems. In addition, the government did not dare to come out to stop it.

The probability of "abducting" and selling people is still very high, and now there are more than 10 people in a group, living in a remote place, and the "people" who are more sensitive than dogs found out, and they were persuaded and fooled and brought people out.

The father-daughter dialogue in the back, Wu Shan in front listened to it and didn't think so, he saw too much of the people's worries, he was also an old fritter in Zhangjiacheng, and the people who brought it back to Zhangjiacheng were not a thousand but hundreds.

Because of Zhangjiacheng's mission, more than five hundred silver coins were harvested.

The silver coins in Zhangjiacheng are very valuable, and a house of 80 square meters is only 60 silver coins.

Wu Shan's income can be said to be a high income, of course, this business is not something that everyone can do, often go to the government to ask for people, although there is a warning from the volunteers, but the danger is not small.

One of the things that made him most proud was to persuade a strong man on a hill. Needless to say, the specific process is that a mountain thief was persuaded by Wu Shan, of course, the premise is Zhangjiacheng's policy and strength.

For the bandits who took the initiative to surrender, regardless of what they had done in the past, such people are not to mention in the whole Daming, but also in the eastern Guangdong Province, there are also a lot of people in Zhangjiacheng, if they want to be honest and honest, just that little administrative staff, one can not be managed when ten uses.

The current situation in Zhangjiacheng is dominated by the volunteers, and a group of "jumping clowns" below, but they dare not do anything under the strong strength of the volunteers, after all, the policemen who are more than the volunteers are always staring, obedient and obedient, and a little bit of a traitor, no matter how big or small, will be arrested and taken to Luzon as a pioneer.

Not long after entering the Maoming territory, a group of people saw the crowd in front of them, and everyone behind Wu Shan became alert.

Wu Shan: "Haha, everyone relax, those are the detachment of China Construction Road Repair, it seems that they have a lot of movements, and they have come here so soon to level the road." ”

Seeing that although there were many people in front of him, he was working with his head down, and he had no intention of hurting people, plus Wu Shan explained, the old man asked.

"Brother Wushan, that's the government building the road?"

Wu Shan "is not from the government, it is from Zhangjiacheng, uh, it is not wrong to say that they are from the government, Zhangjiacheng will soon replace the government, and then they will be the government." ”

The old man's face was as usual, the matter of Zhangjiacheng may be able to be concealed from other provinces, but the people of their Yangjiang County can't hide it, Zhangjiacheng is powerful, and they are not doing well in the original place so they came with their heads.

If the city of Zhangjia alone is powerful and everyone enters the anti-thief territory, everyone does not have that kind of mind, and the anti-thief will be suppressed by the imperial court sooner or later, but the anti-thief territory is not looking for death. The key is the war in the north.

Wu Shan led people over and showed his small steel plate in front of the police, which was a unique identification of the son.

The policeman let down his guard at a glance at the sign, his own people don't need to be alert to anything, and the people in front of him really dare to make any murderous moves and treat them as dry food.

With a smiling face, Wu Shan asked his subordinates to come over, opened his special small box, and took out a bag of things to distribute to the police.

The lead policeman: "Yo, yes, there's a big front door." ”

That's right, Wu Shan gave the police cigarettes, of course, the packaging is very simple, but this is indeed a serious cigarette.

The time when tobacco was introduced to China was about the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty from the second half of the 16th century to the early 17th century, and several provinces in the south had already smoked cigarettes.

Chen Zijian had long seen that some of his subordinates were smoking cigarettes, that is, hookahs, which had much more stamina than tobacco, and then Chen Zijian asked people to set up a tobacco factory, named Bad Taste, Daqianmen.

Is smoking good for the human body, this Chen Zijian has no way to give an answer, you say it's not good, in later generations, the country monopolized tobacco, and private individuals were not qualified to produce it at all, and private individuals dared to produce it at their own risk.

If it was opium, Chen Zijian didn't say a word, and directly ordered a ban, but the tobacco had a different attitude. Although he doesn't smoke himself, tobacco is used to refresh some people, and it's not very toxic.

After the appearance of the big front door, it is undoubtedly a benefit for people who are addicted to smoking, and don't feel strange to see someone in Zhangjiacheng holding a cigarette between their fingers and spitting out smoke.

Wu Shan struck a match to light the fire for the leading policeman, while asking him about what happened during the time he left Zhangjiacheng, because of Chen Zijian, Zhangjiacheng developed too fast, and there were too many new things, let's just say that this match also appeared not long after leaving Zhangjiacheng last time.

When it first came out, it was loved by everyone, and the convenience of making matches for fire was much more convenient than the traditional fire of the Ming Dynasty.

Knowing that the city lord personally went out to fight, Wu Shan sighed with emotion, and quickly left with his people, and only after walking away did the old man come forward to ask for details.

"Oh, the police are the government's fast arresters, the dozens of people you just saw wearing uniforms are Zhangjiacheng's fast arresters, and the other ones who work are the China Construction Road Construction Bureau, you haven't seen those people from the China Construction Bridge Bureau, they are amazing."

The old man still wanted to ask, but Wu Shan didn't want to say more, he kept talking all the way, and the old man had too many questions, "Xiao Wu, you come over and talk to the old man." ”

Zhangjiacheng for manpower, has never been too little, any project, can consume a lot of manpower, just a simple road, from Maoming to Xuwen County road, directly call 100,000 people, road section construction.

Stepping on the cement road, the old man pulled his beard in surprise, and put it down after the pain, the old man's 60th birthday, what wind and waves have not been seen, and he will not be calm after seeing the cement road, how can this be done?

The cement road extends smoothly into the distance, and I heard that there are hundreds of miles from here to Zhangjiacheng, all of which are such roads.

In this era, anyone who saw the cement road for the first time was unconsciously afraid and in awe of the forces of Zhangjiacheng. How much money does it take to do something like this?

In ancient times, there were too few new things, and the people would have such emotions when they came here for the first time, surprised, stunned, and stunned. It's all a kind of discomfort with new things.

Later generations of people can quickly accept new things, because they are used to it, but the ancients are different, since the Qin Dynasty, the emergence of new things is very slow, maybe a dynasty will only appear one or several new things.

Wu Shan was unimpressed by everyone's reaction, he had seen a lot, would they be scared when they saw the viewing building?

The viewing building is undoubtedly the surface of Zhangjiacheng's most powerful performance, and the most powerful of the volunteers is the hot weapon, but the hot weapon can not be displayed in front of the people, which will scare the people and dare not walk.

In the era of the late Ming Dynasty, there was no building more than 50 meters, but the viewing building of Zhangjiacheng rose to a height of more than 100 meters, which is undoubtedly to tell others their own strength.

Familiar with the way, take more than 10 people to the epidemic prevention station, and give everyone a novice gift bag, which is a gift for every person to Zhangjiacheng for the first time, including soap, refined salt, and a new set of clothes. As long as you are a newcomer, you can get one.

The newbie package is somewhere else, don't think too much about it without three or four taels of silver, but it is the most basic at the epidemic prevention station.

When everyone received the gift, they immediately looked at each other, these things exist cheaply in Zhangjiacheng, but it is the first time that the dozen or so people have received such valuable items, and they have a sense of gratitude to Zhangjiacheng.

Wu Shan explained some words to everyone, let them listen to the arrangements of the staff of the epidemic prevention station, and then patted his ass and left, when he got here, he could get the silver coins and leave, and he didn't need to interfere in the rest of the things, Zhangjiacheng has long had rich experience in accepting the people, after all, there are too many things to do.

These more than 10 people will go to Zhangjiacheng together with the more than 500 people who arrived yesterday.

The epidemic prevention station is set up fifty miles away from Zhangjiacheng, in order to prevent the outbreak of epidemic diseases in Zhangjiacheng, Chen Zijian spent a lot of money, he does not want an epidemic disease, and Zhangjiacheng, which has developed with great difficulty, will be beaten back to its original shape.
