Chapter 015: Windfall
Yuan Lang's thoughts were by no means groundless, he didn't take conscription seriously, he only knew that Yuan Shao was recruiting troops in Bohai at that time, but he didn't expect that he would also extend his claws to the jurisdiction of the several county guards who defected to him.

"Zhou Liang, do you know how many people live in Changshan County, and how many can serve in the military?"
Yuan Lang asked a question that seemed common to him, because in the modern society in which he lived, the data itself was known to many people, and he was also a person who worked as a supernumerary in the government.
But Zhou Liang's shaking made Yuan Lang realize that this was not the society before him, the times had changed, this was not a digital era, and the questions he just asked, in the current Zhang Yan and Zhou Liang, had never paid attention to it at all, nor did he care about it.
So, Yuan Lang finally knew what the first major thing he needed to do when he came to Changshan County was the census, and the focus was on the group of people over 15 years old and under 40 years old, because they were all new forces to fight against Yuan Shao, who was growing in ambition in the future.
When Yuan Lang said this idea of his own in front of his fifty subordinates, everyone looked at their commander with surprise.
Census, this is a word that I have never heard of, and a Changshan County is not a village, and this carpet visit cannot be done in a few days or even ten days.
And there is one of the most important problems, that is, there are too few literate people among these people who can read and write, and few of them can do such clerical work that requires registration and making records.
Yuan Lang didn't expect that the "census" would be so difficult, and as soon as he came up with such an idea, he was immediately strangled in the cradle.
Yuan Lang's mood was terrible, and the long dragon banquet that he said was also in the soup, he wanted to give everyone a good meal, but these subordinates who saved were not willing to eat a few days' ingredients in one day, they just ate a whole whole grain cake and ate it, Yuan Lang is not low-grade, and the cake is rolled with meat foam, which can be described as extremely shabby.
"Huang Shuai, Huang Shuai, found something good, something good ......"
Several subordinates happily brought a large jar of things, and they didn't know what was inside, but they seemed to have picked up a treasure.
"It's wine! Damn, the labor-management wine bugs are out! ”
Zhang Yan was right, it was wine, and Yuan Lang could smell the aroma of wine from such a distance.
"Where did you find it?"
Yuan Lang felt a little incredible, it stands to reason that Zhang Tong escaped so completely, he had no reason to leave this jar of wine for himself, even if he couldn't take it away and break it, could it be that Zhang Tong's conscience couldn't find out.
"Whatever, labor and management taste it first!"
Zhang Yan said, patted open the mud seal and said that he was going to scoop a scoop up and taste it.
Yuan Lang always felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he quickly grabbed Zhang Yan, and then said to his subordinates: "Bring a silver needle!" ”
Taking the silver needle is naturally a test of poison, Zhang Yan was so excited just now that he forgot about this stubble, the origin of this wine is unknown, if it wasn't for Yuan Lang's thoughtfulness, he would have drunk it just now, if it was the enemy's ulterior motives, then wouldn't he have planted it.
The subordinate took the silver needle according to his words, Yuan Lang scooped a little wine with a scoop, and then inserted the silver needle into it.
The result was beyond Yuan Lang's expectations, this wine actually had no toxins at all, could it be that he thought too much.
"Huang Shuai, no problem, can you start drinking?"
Zhang Yan has been waiting there for a long time, not to mention that this wine is not poisonous, even if it is poisonous, this drunkard will dare to drink it as soon as he is drunk.
Yuan Lang nodded, since it is not poisonous, then drink it freely for pleasure, he immediately ordered this jar of fine wine to be distributed, and everyone present has a share.
It was a light lunch, but I didn't expect it to be a lot more colorful because of the wine, but although the wine was drunk, but Yuan Lang's heart was still there, just when he was puzzled, he only heard a commotion outside the hall, when Yuan Lang looked again, he saw that two of his subordinates on duty escorted one person in, and the detained person seemed to be explaining something, as if he was innocently arrested.
"Who is coming, you are not from my Yellow Turban Army, what are you doing here?"
Yuan Lang looked at the human face, so he asked.
"My lord, my lord, I, I am...... Ah, Zhou Liang, Brother Zhou, save the little brother! ”
The man just wanted to report his home, but once his eyes fell on Zhou Liang beside Yuan Lang, he seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and he couldn't help but ask for help.
Yuan Lang looked back at Zhou Liang and asked, "Zhou Liang, do you know him?" ”
Zhou Liang nodded reluctantly, and said: "It's a little girl next door, we have been playing together since we were children, but I heard that he was sent to a foreign land for theft, but I didn't expect to come back so soon!" ”
Theft is a very serious crime in this era, the distribution is light, and if you don't get it right, you will die, but I didn't expect this person to be blessed with a great life, and he was not killed, it seems that there must be a lot of relationship behind it.
"Since you know Zhou Liang, then I don't embarrass you, but you have to make it clear to me about your intentions in the county guard's mansion, as long as I hear the slightest lie, I will definitely convict you of trespassing into the official mansion and imprison you for a few years!"
"Yes, yes, the little one is honest and doesn't dare to lie!" The man continued, "The little one's name is Zhou Qiang, and he was sent well before, but there was heavy snow on the way to escort him, and the small one and the little one took advantage of the chaos and ran back...... But the little one is wrong, don't hand it over, adult! ”
Yuan Lang didn't want to hear this, and immediately asked, "To get to the point, I don't want to know about your past!" ”
As soon as Zhou Qiang heard that Yuan Lang didn't ask about his previous crimes, he immediately returned to the topic and said: "The little one has a brother-in-law, who served next to the previous Master Zhang, he had a drink with the little one before leaving, and inadvertently revealed it to the little one, saying that there is an underground secret vault in this county guard's mansion, and there is an indescribable treasure in it, and the little one didn't take it seriously at the time, but these days have been tight, and the little one wants to sneak in and try his luck, I didn't think you would come, ah, my lord, spare my life, my lord......"
"Wait, you said there is a secret vault in this county guard? Have you found it? ”
Yuan Lang looked a little excited, the current Changshan County Shoufu can be described as poor, if it is really like what Zhou Qiang said, then he will not be able to get a windfall.
"The little one didn't dare to deceive, the villain's brother-in-law said the approximate location before, the small one was lucky and lucky, and he found it, no, the jar of wine in front of the adult was brought out by the villain, and he was going to take it back to enjoy, but he never thought that the adult's subordinates groped over, and the little one was so frightened that he hid and didn't dare to show up, until he wanted to go over the wall and was caught by the adult's subordinates!"
Zhou Qiang's words are extremely credible, this person is greedy for life and afraid of death at first glance, Yuan Lang forgives him for not having the courage to lie to himself.
In fact, the way to prove that he is not lying is very simple, that is, let him take him to the secret vault to take a look, if it is true, Zhou Qiang is not guilty, but a meritorious man.
Yuan Lang told Zhou Qiang about his idea, and the latter excitedly immediately agreed to take Yuan Lang to see the treasure house he found after winning the **** luck, hoping to get Yuan Lang's forgiveness.
On the way to the so-called secret vault, Yuan Lang also asked Zhou Liang, Zhou Qiang didn't lie this time, he did have a brother-in-law who served by Zhang Tong's side, and he was Zhang Tong's confidant, it seems that the news of the secret vault was indirectly obtained by Zhou Qiang, so in other words, this secret vault really exists.
The county guard mansion is very large, and Yuan Lang has just entered the mansion before he has time to walk around, if it weren't for the subordinates who have figured out the surrounding situation and Zhou Qiang to lead the way, Yuan Lang is afraid that he will get lost.
"Huang Shuai, this is where we found the wine jar!"
When Yuan Lang's subordinates walked to a place, they identified the scene where the wine jar was found at that time, and Yuan Lang saw that there was a long mark on the ground, which seemed to be too heavy for Zhou Qiang to move, so he could only roll on the ground and transport it.
Of course, Yuan Lang didn't care about this, he only glanced at it, and then continued to follow Zhou Qiang who led the way in front, in his heart, that mysterious secret vault was the place he wanted to explore.
Not far away, Zhou Qiang took everyone to a cemetery, where I don't know if the ancestors of Zhang Tong are buried, anyway, what is written on the tombstone is the Zhang family.
"Auntie, bad luck, say, did you mean it!"
Zhang Yan also wanted to see that treasure house, but he didn't expect to be brought here by Zhou Qiang, so he couldn't help but step forward and grab him, and he was about to move rough when he spoke.
"Hei Shuai, stop, I think this place is a little unlucky, but it is a hidden place, you wait for Zhou Qiang to identify it, if not, you will not be too late to do it!"
"Well, I'd like to see how this bird place can be conjured up with a vault! You go and point it out! ”
Zhang Yan let go of Zhou Liang, who was very frightened, this black man looked fierce and vicious, no wonder others could be bluffed by him.
"Here, here!"
Zhou Qiang walked to a larger mausoleum, then bent down and put his hand under the stele in front of the mausoleum, and he didn't know where he pulled it, only heard a loud "boom" sound, and the mausoleum, which was intact just now, actually broke in the middle in front of everyone.
The cracked mausoleum suddenly revealed a step down, and Yuan Lang brought all his henchmen, who lit the torches that had been prepared long ago before Yuan Lang went down to open the way in front.
After walking two steps, Yuan Lang had already come to a huge underground palace at this time, where there were a lot of things placed horizontally and vertically, including home furnishings, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, not to mention, there were several layers of wine jars piled up in a corner, and at first glance it was the kind that was brought to him before.
"Huang Shuai, come and see, he's getting rich!"
Zhang Yan's excited roar immediately attracted Yuan Lang to the past, and when Yuan Lang looked closer, he himself was also excited, Nima, a wooden box that was pried open was actually full of jewels and gold ingots, which was enough for their entire army to eat for a month, and there were more than ten such wooden boxes, if they were all treasures of this color, they would have eaten and drunk for a year.
Zhou Liang and Zhou Qiang were fortunate enough to witness all this, and they were also dumbfounded, especially Zhou Qiang, maybe he never dreamed that these unnoticed wooden boxes nested in the corner were actually the most expensive things here, and he must be regretting it in his heart now, why he was so lucky, but he missed it in the most critical place, what kind of broken wine jar to move, a handful of them is enough for him to spend for a lifetime.
It is useless for Zhou Qiang to regret it, because everything here is now owned by the Xinjun Guard, and it is impossible for others to get involved at all. (To be continued.) )
