There is a big market in Shen County, which has many varieties and styles, the price is cheap, and the children are not bullied, it is a good place!

Such news spread in the county for a month, and when the novelty gradually faded, the living habits of the residents also quietly changed.

More and more people are accustomed to going to the big market to buy vegetables, and more and more vegetable vendors are no longer walking the streets, but trying to rent a shed in the big market and open a simple and unusual shop.

Although the shed is simple, it is also an industry after all.

Attachment to private property is the nature that flows in people's bones.

Vegetable farmers outside the city also gradually heard the news of the fairness of the big market, and began to try to deliver vegetables here in groups of three or five. The managers did not refuse, divided into three, six, nine and so on, and gave the price respectively, which was not much, and it did make the vegetable farmers happy.

And big shops such as firewood, rice, oil and salt have also begun to enter the big market.

With the entry of a large number of goods, the variety of the big market is becoming more and more abundant, there are officials patrolling outside, and there are also a lot of security guards walking back and forth inside, no matter what happens to the buyer and seller, they can call to help solve it, such a convenient service, so that they can experience the comfort of leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade.

So Cheng Ming became famous, and the people awarded him the title of a good man.

"The formwork is almost completed, and now there is still this piece left in the yamen."

Wei Zhongxian and Cheng Ming sat opposite each other, and exquisite delicacies were placed on the table.

This is made by the chefs sent by the shopkeepers, and it is really full of color and flavor. Especially one of the boiled pork slices, although simple, made Cheng Ming want to stop.

"It's just a county office, it's not easy to use your old Wei's means to elapse him."

"It's not difficult, as soon as the correspondence is broken, there is basically nothing to do with him. The little officials below don't have to worry about it, it's their nature to worry about which side is strong and which side is strong. Wei Zhongxian took a slice of duck meat, looked at the shine on it, and threw it into his mouth.

"The only thing that is a little troublesome is that we don't have enough manpower now, and there are too few people who can read and write, and know the ways of officialdom."

"It's a hassle to cultivate?"

"That's not it, it's just that our flag is not the same road as them, unless we have a sick brain, we won't come over!"

Cheng Ming was speechless.

"Then take your time, just pick from your subordinates, the current expansion speed is not slow, and you can make up for it sooner or later!"

"That's right, I did see two good ones, I'll train them in two days and see if they can come in handy."

Cheng Ming said indifferently: "If it doesn't work, just teach it from scratch with a clean foundation earlier, and learn it slowly, anyway, the Ming Dynasty can last for many years!" ”

Wei Zhongxian glanced at him, "This statement is unusual. How so? ”

"Obviously, now that the aura is revived, when these beasts spread out, once there is a big war, as soon as the smell of blood appears, those carnivorous beasts will not show up one after another? How many do you think ordinary soldiers can survive in the face of special beasts? ”

"There's a military formation, isn't it?"

Cheng Ming didn't argue with him, and took out a terrifying apple and put it on the table.

"Oh? Has the expression reached this point? How many levels are there? ”

"I got my hands on it a few days ago, and I'm already at level twenty-eight."

Wei Zhongxian said: "This means that two hundred and eighty soldiers are needed? ”

"Two thousand eight is enough!" Cheng Ming shook his head and said: "It's like a duel between martial arts masters, if the martial arts are a line higher, then it will be too high." The strength and speed of the level 28 beast and its physical strength are not much higher than ordinary people. In a head-to-head duel, even if it becomes a flesh-and-blood battlefield, it is difficult to win.

What's more, this is only level twenty-eight, and when the level of the beast reaches level fifty-eight, eighty-eight, and one hundred and eight, I'm afraid that the numerical advantage will no longer have any effect. At that time, who will dare to start a war lightly? If there is no war, there can only be peace! ”

This is roughly the same as the nuclear deterrence of nuclear weapons in later generations, the difference is only that one is an animal and the other is a simple weapon.

Wei Zhongxian shook his head and didn't speak, it's not that he didn't understand, the world is changing fast.

Is there a time when war can't be fought?

"I heard someone is here again?"

"Well, there are quite a few people this time, about 300 people, and they also brought hundreds of soldiers." Cheng Ming said lightly: "I deliberately left the hundred households and let them go, and when I left, I said that I was going to commit suicide for a while, ashamed of the emperor, and said that I would bring the troops back to take revenge.

The rest of the people were sent to the back mountain. If you are interested, you can go to pick someone inside, there should be a lot of people who can write and have brains in Jinyiwei. ”

Cheng Ming remembered what happened two days ago and smiled.

It should also be the bad luck of the hundred households, who wanted to go to the county government to borrow troops to ensure that this operation was foolproof. Unexpectedly, when he entered the county office, he went directly into the tiger's mouth.

"It's almost time to harvest the autumn grain." Wei Zhongxian said.

"It's time to hand it over, we're good citizens!"

At this moment, a servant came to report: "Your Excellency, the city gate is in a hurry to report, there are bandits attacking the city!" ”

"Hey, that's interesting!"

Cheng Ming suddenly became interested, threw down his chopsticks and said, "Lead the way!" ”

Looking at the city gate of Shen County, Zheng Peng's heart was broken.

Two years ago, there was a large-scale civil uprising in Shandong, and he became the boss of a group of people in a daze, following a group of people everywhere, killing people and stealing food. Later, the officers and soldiers suppressed the bandits, and the chaotic people were defeated and fled in all directions.

At that time, many people were arrested and killed, but he was still relatively lucky, fled to the vicinity of Dongchang Mansion, and directly led his subordinates to occupy the mountain as the king.

Dongchang Mansion is the junction of Shandong and Henan, and there are many pedestrian caravans, so although Zheng Peng only occasionally makes shots, he is not short of food and clothing.

But on a day when no one was recruited and no one was provoked, a catastrophe fell from the sky.

A giant wolf with a height of three meters, with seven or eight wolf cubs the size of calves, suddenly appeared on his mountain, and frightened the bandits and bandits into weakness.

Originally, there was a proposal to kill the wolf, but after the spies accidentally saw a giant wolf hunting process, everyone stopped cooking.

What's worse is that except for this giant wolf, the other big ones are not like words, they are very fierce at first glance, and the fierce beasts that eat people without waiting to chew the second time appear one after another, constantly squeezing the territory where the bandits survive.

They didn't dare to fight, they couldn't hide and couldn't hide, their territory shrank little by little, and they were about to be cornered, and finally they could only abandon the village and flee with a ruthless heart.

But as soon as he came down the mountain with more than 100 people, before he had time to make a vote, he found four or five peers who had the same experience as him.

Hundreds of people always have to eat when they get together, and now in this year, the people's families are also poor, and the grain in the fields is not yet ripe.

There are a few bold ones to discuss, let's just go and grab the county seat.

was already hungry and lacked eyes, and he had a large number of people, and a group of people hit it off and went straight to the nearest Shen County.

But when they arrived at the gate of Xin County, before they could plan their plan, they heard a cannon fire in front of them, and a large group of people rushed out.

They are just stupid.

What the? Is there another group of people?
