Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Monarch Profession - The Lord's Mode is On
In Macheng, a dilapidated refugee slum, a barely intact and large-scale building stands in the center of Macheng, which can be regarded as Li Xuan's official residence in the future.
The official residence, above the yatang, the atmosphere seems a little depressing.
Li Xuan sat on the main seat, did not speak, quietly flipped through Ma Cheng's household registration files, the four generals of the Wind Forest Volcano stood on Li Xuan's left and right, looking at Zhao Chuan who was standing in the hall and did not dare to come out.
Zhao Chuan and a group of people and horses stood in the center of the yahall one by one, waiting for the final judgment of fate, and they did not dare to come out, and on both sides of them, there was a row of the most elite warriors of the Han Dynasty.
After a long time, Li Xuan threw down the dilapidated household registration file in his hand, his eyes were like knives, and he fell sharply on Zhao Chuan, and said coldly: "Zhao Chuan, I need an explanation!" β
A huge sense of oppression followed, and the thin Zhao Chuan finally couldn't stand the pressure, and knelt on the ground with a pop, his thin body trembled, and dozens of old and weak soldiers behind him were even more unbearable, and some even fainted.
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "According to the household registration record, there should have been 708 households in this horse city, with a population of 3,128, and there should be a tun guard to resist the invasion of the Hu people, and there should be grain and grass in the warehouse, but since the general entered the city, what he has seen is ten rooms and nine emptiness, and there are no particles in the warehouse, as for the so-called garrison, I only see dozens of old and weak soldiers, where are the general's people?" Where are the soldiers? Where is the food and grass!? β
In the end, the anger suppressed in the bottom of his heart finally broke out, like thunder on the ground, and fine dust fell on the already dilapidated beams, as if it might collapse at any time.
No wonder Li Xuan is angry, since he walked into Macheng, nothing has gone well, not to mention the dilapidated city wall, the dilapidated military camp, from the appearance, has been deserted for some years, the dilapidated houses, in Guangzong it is estimated that even beggars will not live in it, and most of the small population are some old and weak women and children, along the way, even a decent militia can not be found.
And what makes Li Xuan most angry is that the huge warehouse is definitely the cleanest place in the entire horse city, so clean that rats can starve to death, and there are still 2,000 soldiers under his command to open their mouths to eat, such a clean warehouse, such a depressed city, not to mention filling up the deployment of 8,000, that is, how to feed these two thousand men and horses is a problem, if it is not for the help of the counties along the way, a lot of yellow scarves have been exterminated in the counties along the way, and the local gentry have sent a lot of grain and grass, which can support for a few days, it is estimated that the next meal can force Li Xuan to take the ** away.
Li Xuan really has the urge to kill people with a knife now.
"General Mingjian." Zhao Chuan had a bitter face, and his voice had a feeling of exhaustion: "This horse city is located on the border, perennial invasion by the Hu people, the people's livelihood has withered, plus the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, after several wars, the population has decreased sharply, not long ago, the state capital came, not only recalled the county order and the county lieutenant, but also took away the original five hundred garrisons, and now these soldiers are just strong men who have participated in resisting the invasion of the Hu people and have been on the city wall, and they are not in the establishment, so they can be preserved, it is not the intention of the lower officials to deceive, it is really ......" In the end, Zhao Chuan's voice was a little choked.
When Li Xuan heard this, he was silent, but the killing intent on his body was heavier, and even Li Shan and the others felt a little out of breath.
"Can the official seal of the prefectural order be?" After a long time, Li Xuan let out a long breath and looked at Zhao Chuandao.
"In, in." Zhao Chuan hurriedly ran to the back hall, and soon walked out with a burden, trembling in front of Li Xuan.
Li Xuan opened it with his hand, and there were three party seals neatly placed inside, and the county order, county cheng, and county lieutenant seals were sent by him, obviously he had already prepared for the worst.
"Di ~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ownership of a county town, the king profession is activated, the lord mode is opened, and the host plane reputation is rewarded with 100, and the plane is exchanged for huΓ n points of 1000."
At the moment when Li Xuan stretched out his hand and touched the seal of the county order, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind, and at the same time, there was an additional attribute template in his mind.
Territory: Horse City
Level: County seat
Current Status: Broken
Popular Sentiment: 0
Population: 157
Prosperity: 3
Culture: 0
Military Value: 200
Commercial Value: 0
Defense: Very low
Official Buildings: Castle Lord's Mansion (Dilapidated), Barracks (Abandoned), Arsenal (Abandoned), Council Hall (Dilapidated), Stables (Abandoned), School Yard (Abandoned)
Defensive Structure: Walls (Abandoned)
Livelihood buildings: blacksmith shop (abandoned), inn (abandoned), wine shop (abandoned), teahouse (abandoned), Shang Dance Workshop (abandoned), Jiangwutang (abandoned), market (abandoned)
Looking at the outrageously low rows of numbers, as well as the abandoned words behind the buildings and the various values related to the needs, Li Xuan's forehead flashed black lines, and this number jΓΉ was very accurate to tell Li Xuan the fact that this was indeed a city that had been abandoned, no wonder he would be willing to give himself so much power, and even the county orders could be held by himself, and all the official appointments in the city were directly appointed by himself without the consent of his superiors.
After a long time, Li Xuan suppressed the majestic anger in his chest, and thought about it carefully, with the systematic slamming of the door and the rules of this plane, if it weren't for such a city, I'm afraid it would be impossible to give himself such a big right, even if he continued to dwell on these now, it would be useless, since it is already his own territory, then find a way to develop it well.
"Li Shan." Raising his head, Li Xuan's gaze swept towards Li Shan.
"The end will be." Li Shan strode down the lobby and bowed.
"From today on, I will order you to be the lieutenant of Macheng County, lead a tun of men and horses, be responsible for the defense of Macheng, and organize people to repair the city wall." Li Xuan solemnly handed the seal of the county lieutenant to Li Shan.
"The last general commands." Li Shan bowed down to take the seal and replied resolutely.
Li Xuan picked up the seal of the county in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Zhao Chuandao, who had a bitter face: "The post of county leader will continue to be held by you, and I will find a way to make up for it in terms of population and materials, and you have only one task, to restore the livelihood of the people in Macheng as soon as possible." β
"Yes, Lord Xie's grace of not sinning." Zhao Chuan hurriedly took the seal, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he said to Li Xuan respectfully.
It's not that Li Xuan doesn't want to use Li Lin and others, it's just that the four generals of Fenglin Volcano are talking about combat power, after half a year of military career, although the strength is not high, but he is already a qualified general, but when it comes to managing people's livelihood and taking care of the city, these four big men are obviously not this material, and Zhao Chuan, although all attributes are not high, but when he took over Macheng, he was automatically included in his own generals, which should be regarded as the system's compensation for himself, although the loyalty is only 50, but for Li Xuan, who is short of manpower in his hands, It's already good.
"I ask you, how long have you been in this horse city?" After the appointment, Li Xuan suddenly looked at Zhao Chuan and asked.
"Back to the adult, the villain is originally a person from Macheng, and he has lived in Macheng since he was a child." Zhao rumored the rumor and hurriedly replied.
"Then you must be very familiar with the area around Horse City?" Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and asked.
Zhao Wenyan couldn't help but straighten his chest and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, this horse city is a hundred miles away, and there are few things that the lower officials don't know." β
"That's good." Li Xuan nodded, and then said, "Before tomorrow, give me the most detailed map of the surrounding Macheng, including the distribution of the surrounding bandits and Hu people, the more detailed the better." β
"My lord, but I want to ......" Zhao Chuan was startled, and raised his eyes to look at Li Xuan carefully.
"Don't ask, don't ask." Li Xuan snorted coldly.
"Oh, the lower official obeys the order." Zhao Chuan wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, bowed down and said, Now Macheng is the world of others, he is a small county, he has no soldiers and no power in his hands, even if he has ideas, he does not dare to say it directly.
"It's all gone." Li Xuan waved his hand.
Looking at the current shelf, there is no need to think about getting supplies from the imperial court, as for cutting the source of troops, Li Xuan didn't think about it at all, honest farming is not Li Xuan's style, there are two thousand elite troops in his hands, and it would be a fool not to make good use of it.
