Chapter 258: The City Governance Army

"General Xiaobai, since the two of you have a good relationship, for your sake, I usually ask people to take care of Gan Ning more. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Heh, when did I say we were on good terms?" Lin Ran turned his head and asked.

"Well, didn't you just say you knew each other for a long time?" Huang Zu was a little confused, could it be that he had heard it wrong before?

"That's right, but we don't know each other, and that time, I met in a battle with him when I led the navy. At that time, he was leading his men to plunder the waters near me. ”

"Gan Ning has ever done such a thing?" Huang Zu understood that the two of them met, not only because the two were acquaintances, but also because the two were enemies. Now it seems that Xiaobai and Gan Ning must have the latter relationship.

"So, it's up to you to decide what to do with Gan Ning."

Lin Ran's fluttering words made Huang Zu even more sure that the two of them had a grudge, originally he didn't look down on this general who was born as a water thief, but now the disgust in his heart was even worse.

"Originally, I saw that Gan Ning's ability was not bad, and I was about to promote him to the rank of general, but I didn't expect him to have such a bad record before. It seems that this appointment needs to be reconsidered. ”

Think about it? Thinking about it, I don't know how many years have passed, Gan Ning's career here in Huang Zu has basically come to an end because of a conversation between Lin Ran and Huang Zu just now.

But this is exactly the effect that Lin Ran hopes to achieve, if this Huang Zu really attaches importance to Gan Ning, Corporal Lixian, and entrusts Gan Ning with a heavy responsibility, so that Gan Ning is dead set on him, then Lin Ran really has no chance at all in the future.

Now let's create a little rift between the two, maybe there will be many more opportunities in the future.

Lin Ran and Huang Zu walked out of the water village as they spoke, leaving only Gan Ning's training soldiers who were still working the fighting ship, hoping to let Huang Zu, who had recently taken refuge, see him and attach importance to him.

Entering Jiangxia City, Lin Ran had to say that the prosperity here is indeed not comparable to Yuzhang County and Nanchang City, the business travelers in Tiannan and Haibei, the bustling streets, there are rows of stalls on both sides, and the items sold range from low-level rough iron swords, long knives, to high-level armor, crossbows, large and small gold sore medicines, cloth, everything, not only players are shopping on the streets, many rich NPCs also like to come here to purchase things, and they can often find value-for-money things.

"There's also rouge sellers here! The packaging is very good-looking, I have never seen this thing in Nanchang City. Xue Min saw the lively atmosphere on the street, and a girl's shopping instinct came spontaneously, so she walked to the rouge stall and picked it up.

Lin Ran smiled, and also walked over to help Xue Min choose by his side.

Huang Zu and his subordinates were stunned, this kind of stall, what is there to visit, it is too disrespectful, but since Lin Ran has passed, he can't move here anymore, so he has to follow the rouge stall.

Xue Min picked for a while, bought the right rouge, and saw the dyed colored satin on the side, which was colorful and very good-looking.

"Many girls in our legion have been asking me to buy them a set of colorful cloth clothes, I think the gray clothes are too ugly, but I haven't been able to find them in Nanchang City, I didn't expect there to be so many here!"

Xue Min ran to the colorful silk stall again.

Lin Ran was a little helpless, this Huang Zu, it was not good to choose what street, so he had to bring them to this commercial street full of shops. At this rate, I don't know how long it will take to get to the Taishou Mansion in the middle of the city.

However, Lin Ran looked at Huang Zu, who was also full of helplessness behind him, and laughed in his heart, in this game, I am afraid they are also the first to let an NPC Taishou accompany him to go shopping.

Seeing that Xue Min's enthusiasm for shopping was getting more and more enthusiastic, and there was no tendency to weaken at all, Lin Ran had to quietly walk up to Huang Zu and said, "Is there any way for you to let these traders stop selling for the time being?" Otherwise, at our current speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to get to your Taishou Mansion until dark. ”

Huang Zu's face darkened, and he whispered: "I can't go when it's dark, we don't have a curfew in Jiangxia City, it's dark, and there is a night market!" ”

Lin Ran: "......."

"Two generals, I have a solution." One of the guards beside Huang Zu stepped forward and said.

"What's the solution?" The two hurriedly asked.

In front of the two generals, the guard touched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I happen to be the commander of the Jiangxia City Governance Army." ”

"The City Governance Army?" Lin Ran heard this official position for the first time, and he remembered that there was no so-called urban governance army in the official position of the Eastern Han Dynasty?

Seeing Lin Ran's puzzled face, Huang Zu explained: "This city governance army was set up by our Jingzhou Thorn Shi Jingsheng, specifically for the chaos of trade in the city, and there are stalls and stalls in the city. Evict these vendors. “

Lin Ran smiled in his heart, isn't this the chengguan of later generations? It turns out that this chengguan is not a unique product of modern times, but was invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

With Huang Zu's permission, the guard quickly mobilized a large number of city governance troops, and rushed from the other side of the street to this side.

Along the way, countless hawkers turned pale with fright when they saw these 'city managers' dressed in gray uniforms, and they picked up the stalls under their feet at a flying speed and fled in all directions -- if these hawkers were caught by the 'city managers,' not only would all the goods in their stalls be confiscated, but they would also pay a large fine, and the losses would be very heavy.

The bustling streets, which had been bustling just now, had become completely clean in less than ten minutes after these 'city affairs', and there were only a few broken melons and dates left on the streets that had fled in a hurry and had not had time to clean up.

Just now, Xue Min was just choosing a colorful brocade, but he lowered his head, looked at the brocade in his hand, and when he lifted it up again, he found that the owner of this stall was already wearing a variety of brocades, leaving the lonely stall in place and running away.

Xue Min looked at the 'city managers' behind him who were holding long spears and short sticks, and he was also a little speechless.

Next, several people finally came to Huang Zu's Taishou Mansion, which was built very tall and brilliant, and it seems that a lot of manpower, material and financial resources were used, and only in a rich and peaceful place like Jingzhou, people here are in the mood to build such buildings.

Huang Zu introduced Lin Ran into the hall of the Taishou Mansion and set up a banquet to entertain him, Huang Zu sat on the chairman, flanked by some officials of the Jiangxia Taishou Mansion, Lin Ran sat at the head of the guest table and toasted Huang Zu. (To be continued.) )
