Chapter 227: Rectify the border market

"That young man has a master by his side, when I was near the other party's tent, I accidentally stepped on a dead branch, and immediately someone came out of the tent to check, fortunately I dodged and hid behind another tent, the other party checked and didn't find it, so I went back again, and I quietly followed, and heard someone talking inside." When the wild dog said to the end, he also showed a solemn expression on his face, and those who could be called masters by him would definitely not be worse than Lao Dao and Lu Wu.

"What's going on inside?" Li Zhang couldn't help but ask eagerly when he heard this, if he could overhear the other party's conversation, maybe he could know the exact identity of the other party, if it was really Li Yuanhao, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

What Li Zhang didn't expect was that the wild dog shook his head and said, "I don't understand, but what they said should be party words." ”

Li Zhang was also stunned at this time, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly, he forgot the reason for the language barrier, after all, the wild dog is not a professional spy, and it is normal to not understand the other party's language, and thanks to the fact that they have been in Gyeongju for a while, there are also many party members in Gyeongju City, so the wild dog can distinguish that the other party is speaking party language.

"But although I can't understand the other party's conversation, I have heard the other party mention the names of you and General Cao, and more than once!" At this time, the wild dog suddenly spoke again, he couldn't understand the party language, but when he said the names of Li Zhang and Cao Wei, it was still the pronunciation of Chinese, so he could still hear it.

"Did they really mention my name?" Li Zhang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, it is normal for people who come here to do business to mention Cao Wei's name, but there are not many people who know him, and his name is mainly associated with the musket battalion, so unless it is someone who specially inquires about the news of the musket battalion, it is impossible to know his name.

The wild dog nodded very definitely at this time, Li Zhang was also overjoyed at the moment, the other party was a party member, and he was about the same age as Li Yuanhao, and he was likely to inquire about the news of the musket battalion.

Thinking of this, Li Zhang couldn't help but get excited, and even in his mind, he was thinking about how to kill the biggest threat to the future of the Great Song Dynasty? But soon he calmed down again, because he thought that now he can only say that he is suspicious, and he can't determine the identity of the other party, if he makes a mistake, maybe he will startle the snake, and if he wants to kill Li Yuanhao in the future, I am afraid that he can only work hard to develop armaments, and then fight under Xingzhou City.

Early the next morning, Li Zhang sent the wild dog out again to keep an eye on the camp where the teenager lived, but the wild dog found that the other party did not leave, but came to the border market at noon as yesterday, then ate and drank in the Tokyo Building, walked around the border market in the afternoon to buy things, and then went back when it was getting late.

In the next few days, the boy was like this almost every day, and it can be seen from here that the boy's life is extremely regular, and the wild dog did not find out that the other party was inquiring about the musket camp, which made Li Zhang also a little suspicious that he had guessed wrong? Because in his imagination, after the reputation of the musket battalion spread, Li Yuanhao was so concerned about the situation of the Great Song Dynasty that he would definitely come to check, but this young man who was suspected of being Li Yuanhao did not act in this regard, but seemed to be more interested in the border market.

Of course, Li Zhang has not been waiting for the past few days, and the rectification of the border city has also begun to be launched, he is responsible for planning, and Jinshan is responsible for implementation, but before the beginning of the rectification of the border city, most of the officials in the border city have been removed, because these officials have a deep interest in the border city, if they are allowed to stay, they will only secretly obstruct Li Zhang's rectification of the border city, after all, this is moving their interests.

However, Li Zhang is not afraid of offending people, and his backstage is hard, not only has Cao Wei to support him, but also Liu E is a big backer, so even if those officials are local snakes, they have to be honest at this time.

After the newly transferred officials took office, Li Zhang also immediately began to divide the border market into several areas, which were mainly divided according to the types of traded commodities.

For example, the trade of cattle, sheep and horses must be in a specific area outside the border market, which is also easy to manage, and at the same time, these livestock no longer run around, so that the sanitary conditions in the border market are also greatly improved, instead of cattle and horse manure everywhere as before.

Of course, when redividing the region, there is also a lot of resistance, the key is that some of the land in the border city sit and collect money, they divide their own sphere of influence, and other people want to come to their territory to trade, they have to pay them money, and now the government redivides the region, which naturally cuts off their financial route, so these people also join forces to make trouble.

However, for these people, Li Zhang was not soft at all, and directly sent Cao Yu to lead the troops to arrest all these people, and then threw them to the iron mine to mine, no matter who was behind them, Li Zhang did not give any mercy at all, because he had already let out the wind before, but these people quit early without knowing each other, and now he naturally wants to take advantage of these people.

Li Zhang's thunderous methods finally frightened many people, and then his rectification in the border city really went a lot smoother, of course, there are still a lot of difficulties, such as public security and other issues, there are too many Hu people in the border city, these people have lived in a lawless environment since childhood, whoever has a big fist makes sense, so they have long been used to solving problems with violence.

To deal with these people, Li Zhang's methods are also very simple and rude, as the so-called troubled times use heavy codes, after the border city established rules prohibiting fights and brawls, all those who dared to do it were arrested by the patrol soldiers, and then flogged according to the situation, the whip made of cowhide was stained with salt water, and the skin and flesh would be broken when the whip went down, and no matter how strong the tough guy was, he would have to scream again and again, and if he was hit with thirty or fifty whips, the weaker ones would have to lose their lives.

Under this kind of heavy punishment, the law and order of the border city has also been rapidly improved, and the streets are no longer as stinking as before, and this is only the beginning, and with the deepening of the rectification, the border city will also be more prosperous, and at the same time it will be transformed into a normal town.

While rectifying the border market, the wild dog has also been staring at the young man, the other party seems to have left for a while, but soon came back, but the other party is very careful, Li Zhang has not been able to determine whether the other party is Li Yuanhao, and finally Li Zhang finally couldn't wait, so he decided to go one step further and meet the other party in person!
