There are four gates in Litian City, and there are four city gate captains and official positions, which can be said to be quite flooded.

At the beginning, Zheng Fan had complained about the military system of Yan State more than once, especially in Beifeng County, there were as many captains as dogs, and they were as alive as the donors of the Qing Dynasty in later generations.

But it's still the butt that decides the head, when Zheng Fan was just a school captain, he would naturally "criticize and write" in the face of the depreciation of the school captain, but when he became the city guard in charge of a city and an area represented by this city, it instantly became "true fragrance".

The military salary comes from the treasury, but compared with the so-called military salary, this little bit of silver, ordinary soldiers will take it very seriously, but for those who have already mixed up, especially for those who are strong and powerful in Jindiwu Fort, it is inevitable that it is not enough.

At this time, it is natural to start offering the "school captain" Dafa,

Give you one, give him one, don't rush or grab it, it's all there, it's all there.

For a while, everyone got the official body of Dayan, and naturally they were a family, and the rain and dew were evenly wet, so it was better to be.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there are four captains guarding the gates of a city alone.

However, the guards of these four city gates are mainly Zheng Fan's old team, and the barbarian soldiers account for the vast majority.

He worked hard to build this city and defend his hometown, and this key naturally has to be handed over to his descendants.

Changing to other people to defend the city, Zheng Fan and the demon kings under his command are not very at ease, in the past, he and others liked to steal other people's city gates, so if they did too many bad things, they were afraid that retribution would fall on their heads.

If in the end, because his subordinates were bought out, the inside and outside should be combined, and the strong city wall that was built so hard was directly reduced to decoration, it would really have to be compared with the Gallic rooster in World War II.

In the early morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Yu Huaping put on a set of leather armor, did not take a sword, but took a swallow knife and walked out of the post station.

In the inn, there is breakfast.

Steamed buns with stuffing, shredded radish filling, pickle filling, bean paste filling, pure meat buns and porridge, as well as siu mai and fried food.

The example of the king of Chu's good waist is vividly displayed in Shengle City, and the daily diet in the general's mansion has slowly become the mainstream standard in the city.

It's just that the taste of this kind of thing can't be changed overnight, but there is no way to change it, because Shengle City has implemented military control since very early on.

The post station is the property of the General's Mansion, and when you walk out of the post station, you go down a street, but all those that are open for business are all the industries of the General's Mansion, which is the so-called state-owned.

In the population of Shengle City, the military population accounts for the majority, which is actually convenient to manage in disguise, there is a family and in the city, the family will be according to the population, adults and children are different every month to get the ration of rice, flour, grain and oil, bachelors eat and drink in the barracks anyway.

The caravans coming and going to Shengle City are all in the merchant house, which is also the property of the General's Mansion, and every time a transaction is made, the General's Mansion will take a 10% tax from it.

It's not that there are no caravans trying to evade taxes, in fact, it's almost the instinct of the merchants.

However, since the beginning of a dock fort lord set up a private field in his dock fort and was sent by Shengle City to destroy the whole clan, this kind of thing has suddenly become much less.

According to the General's Mansion, the reason why everyone can do business here and not be affected is because the General's Mansion is maintaining law and order here, so it is natural for everyone to take a cut of the General's Mansion when they do business and make money.

There is a vegetable market, but it is also an industry of the Shogun's Palace.

Originally, the sign hanging in the vegetable market was Shenglecheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but later I don't know why, General Zheng felt dissatisfied after seeing it, and ordered it to be replaced by Shenglefang City.

If you want to buy groceries, you can go to the market to buy them, and the rest, from coal to cloth, and other daily necessities, are also open to people inside and outside the city.

In other words, all the industries that can be done in the city have been covered by the General's Mansion.

Yu Huaping instinctively felt uncomfortable about this, and walking on the streets of this city made him, the current Sword Saint, feel like he was being choked by the neck and was about to suffocate.

In fact, government-run operations have existed since ancient times and have always occupied a huge market share, but it is really extremely rare to have a situation like Shengle City, which completely strangles the private economy in all directions.

Outside the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, there are still a large number of local people who set up shops to do business, and Zheng Fan and the six princes also went there to drink mutton soup.

But Zhenbei Hou Mansion has the entire Yan Kingdom as blood transfusion support, and here in Shengle City, to be honest, every time I can get support from the imperial court, it can really only be said that it is better than nothing.

According to the establishment of the imperial court, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses in Shengle City, but in fact, the inside and outside add up, and the soldiers and horses in Shengle City have already passed 10,000, close to 10,000.

It's just that the Jin people account for the majority of it, plus the five thousand Jin battalions that Zheng Fan just pulled over and the ones that were originally there, and at the same time, counting the children of the Wubao Haoqiang family who have recently defected to the service, the Jin people and horses are nearly 10,000 in Shengle City.

For the remaining five thousand miles, the barbarian soldiers were in the majority;

Therefore, in the Shengle City barracks, it was difficult to hear the words in a Yandi accent.

Because blood transfusions cannot be carried out in the locality, everything has to be coordinated from the beginning, and Siniang and the blind man used this method to practice extraordinary methods in extraordinary times.

Yu Huaping is uncomfortable, he is a man in the rivers and lakes, he instinctively does not like restraint and likes freedom, but he has nothing to say, because there are no homeless people and beggars on the street.

But where there are hands and feet in the city, regardless of men and women, there is a job to do, and in the workshop groups outside the city, there is a great shortage of labor, and it is almost impossible to eat idle food in this city and eat subsistence allowance for poor households.

At the same time, school-age children can enter private schools for free, and medical centers also provide treatment at a very low cost.

Yu Huaping felt that the rule of the ancient benevolent kings that those literati sang about every day seemed to be nothing more than that.

In the city, the largest gold cave is also opened by the General's Mansion, a very large restaurant, from the daily people's banquets and gatherings to a higher level of wind and dust, can be held here.

Behind the restaurant, there is also the largest and only red tent in the whole Shengle City, which can be regarded as meeting the needs of customers at all levels of consumption in an all-round way according to the price sign.

Shengle City, it can be said that it is the only city that does not have a private kiln, one is not necessary, Siniang can be said to be really handy when doing this, and the rules are very mature, and the doctor will be invited to come over for regular physical examinations.

The sisters themselves are willing to come, and here, there is also a guarantee.

Of course, there are also old bustards who want to "start their own business",

In the end, he was caught, and the old bustard was thrown into the prison in the city with his sisters below.

Yu Huaping knew that the soldiers and horses in Shengle City had a very high salary, which was comparable to the Jingnan Army, which seemed to be an unbearable burden.

But take a look,

After the silver was paid to those soldiers, they ate in the city, put down red tents, and so on, all of which were the property of the general's mansion, and often the military salary was paid once a month, and half of the military salary just sent out after half a month had to be returned, and it was impossible to completely protect the capital, but as soon as the silver was circulated, in fact, the cost of military salary was not as heavy as it seemed.

Walking and walking, Yu Huaping walked to the gate of the East Gate.

There were two hundred armor soldiers in charge of guarding, and the captain of the city gate was a barbarian, who could speak Xia language, but with a slightly heavy accent, and there were a hundred barbarian soldiers and a hundred Jin soldiers under his hands.

After Yu Huaping arrived, the barbarian lieutenant named Jin Shuke took the initiative to send a dim sum, and the dim sum had the mark of the General's Mansion on it, proving that it was bought from the pastry shop under the General's Mansion.

"It's, yours."

Alchemy can deliver dim sum to Yu Huaping's hands.

Yu Huaping nodded, and then remembered that someone in the city guard called on everyone to get together the day before yesterday, and the mother-in-law of his own school captain gave birth, and everyone had a meaning.

Jin Shuke's mother-in-law is a savage, he bought it from the slave yard in the city, of course, this yard is also opened from the general, only the population who signs a contract to buy and sell here is protected by the general's mansion, and the slave general's mansion who trades privately is not recognized, and even once there was a slave who was privately bought and sold after he escaped and was caught, because there was no official seal and contract of the general's mansion, so he was sentenced to the freedom of the slave.

According to what his subordinates originally thought, this barbarian army has always been General Zheng's henchman, and alchemy is the earliest three hundred barbarian soldiers, as a barbarian general, not to mention the future, the current status is already very high, not to mention the extravagance to marry a little lady in Xiahang, Yan Kingdom, it is always possible to marry a Jindi woman.

But he didn't, and married a savage aunt.

In private, many of his Jindi soldiers also ridiculed, saying that the vision of the barbarians is really strange, and the barbarians marry savages, and it is really Wang Ba who looks at mung beans and sees the right eye.

But in fact, Jin Shuke always remembered the scene when he accompanied his master to attack the first dry fortress.

In that dry man fortress, there was a small red tent, and there were women in it.

The barbarian soldiers looked at the women, their eyes straightened, and they sent a halazi.

But Alchemy Coco noticed that at that time, there was dissatisfaction in the eyes of the master.

Therefore, Jinshu didn't dare to touch the women of the Qianguo, nor did he dare to touch the women of the Yan Kingdom, and the women of the Jindi did not touch it, so he bought a savage female slave.

This savage aunt was also very angry, and she was born only five months after she bought it.

gave birth to a boy in his life, but he was happy with alchemy.

Yu Huaping knows that many Jin people at the bottom feel that alchemy is a bit silly, and this is not his own species.

But Yu Huaping understands that in the culture of the barbarians, as long as the child grows up with him and inherits his surname, he is his "child" and a member of his own branch.

When the barbarians went to war, the men above the wheel of the local chariot would be killed, because they thought that the grown children could not be assimilated, and the small children were not a problem at all.

Alchem was really happy, and even when he bought the savage female slave, he might have noticed that the woman was already pregnant, and he might feel that he had taken a big advantage.

But no matter how much you joke about this boss in private, after all, people are their own bosses, so everyone is still very interested in making friends according to their personal feelings.

Jin Shuke is also very on the road, specially bought pastries and sent them to everyone, and then, Jin Shuke also said to everyone:

"After I get off work tonight, I will be the east of Juyi Building!"

Juyi Building is the largest restaurant in Litian City, and it is also the only restaurant that is open to the public.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Your Excellency!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Whether it was a barbarian soldier or a Jin soldier, they were all happy when they heard this.

Yu Huaping was carrying a knife and standing in his position, the city gate had been opened, and there were already delivery caravans coming in.

However, there was no scene where many vegetable sellers flocked to the morning market when the city gate was opened in the morning, and these things were all sent by the General's Mansion in advance to buy them below and then transport them in.

And although the suspicion of war is already in sight, and the wild rebellion will not affect here at any time, as long as the war does not really start, those caravans will continue to come in.

This made Yu Huaping feel that the pursuit of making money by these businessmen was very similar to the dedication of swordsmen to swordsmanship.

Alchemy began to arrange people to do caravan inspections, they just checked the first wave, to see what secret spies and spies did not leak in, there was a transit area behind the city gate, and a small place was deliberately demarcated, and there were special officials responsible for cleaning up the goods and registering them.

Anything, as long as it enters Shengle City, then it will inevitably leave traces, and these are also the evidence of tax collection after the transaction is concluded.

You can trade in the merchant hall yourself, or you can hand it over directly to the merchant yamen under the general's mansion, but the price of the latter will be lowered.

In the past month, Yu Huaping has heard the news that more than a dozen officials have been killed and skinned, and in fact, there will only be more officials punished.

The chair on which the enumerator sat was already covered with two layers of human skin, and the chair was not allowed to be changed, so you sat there and continued to work.

Jin Shuke walked up to Yu Huaping's side and reached out to pat Yu Huaping's shoulder.

The action of patting the shoulder,

Originated from the owner of Shengle City, that is, General Zheng of the General's Mansion, it is said that he likes to pat his subordinates on the shoulder when he talks;

Gradually, this action was learned and imitated in the army and the yamen.

"Little fish."

"Yes, sir." Yu Huaping responded calmly.

Except for Zheng Fan and others, no one knows his true identity.

"You haven't started a family yet, have you?"

Although Jin Shuke's Xia accent is heavy, it is also neat when it comes to it.

"Not yet, sir."

"Shall I help you say an aunt?"

Lord Swordmaster's face was very exciting at this time.

He is really afraid of alchemy, but he has recently come to the field with a group of savage slaves, and one of them is a female slave, and she has even helped you bring seeds in advance, how to take advantage of Yunyun.

To tell the truth, the Sword Saint can understand some of the customs and habits of the barbarians, and he can also achieve a certain degree of respect, but if he wants to integrate himself into it, he is not willing.

Previously, there was a soldier nicknamed Sigui among the guards of the city, who went to the red tent in the city to open meat, greedy for cheap, and chose a savage woman, but it is said that he was fainted after taking off his pants.

This matter became a joke among the guards of the east gate for a while,

Yu Huaping naturally wouldn't get involved in this kind of topic, but when others talked about it, he couldn't hear it.

"A good woman, a woman from Jindi, is a widow with a daughter of her own, and a mother-in-law above."

Yu Huaping blinked.

"That woman is good-looking, and the most important thing is that, according to your Jin people's ideas, she is a woman who can live."

"My lord, I don't want to think about this for the time being, I want to earn some military merits, and I'll find it later."

Yu Huaping can only use this excuse to shirk.

He has his own code of conduct, and since he promised to help Zheng Fan guard the East City Gate, he naturally won't let himself give up halfway because of personnel.

A swordsman, a sword, sometimes it's just like that.

"It's always right to see."

Jin Shuke reached out again and patted Yu Huaping's shoulder, then lowered his voice and said secretly to Yu Huaping:

"You kid, I can see it, it's definitely not an ordinary person."

"What?"

"You and us, you and them, are not the same."

"Different?"

"Yes, it's different, the reason you just had, I don't believe it, they care, we care, money, women, status, but you don't care about this at all."

"I care."

"Don't lie to me, Mr. Bei's evening class, as long as I am not on duty, I will listen to it."

"Huh?"

The blind man's evening class, with the theme of brainwashing.

But sometimes when the interest comes, I will also talk about some life philosophy, which is the so-called output of three views, and it is easier to understand, that is, mixed with private goods.

This is the instinct of a blind man, an instinct that cannot be changed, or it can be said that anyone who feels good about himself will suffer from a disease that does not shake his private goods and is uncomfortable.

"Mr. Kita said that some people seem to be like us, but in fact, they are different from us, he is like the wolf king, while the wolves are cheering for the meat in front of them, he is worried about the coming winter.

The master is the wolf king. ”

The master, referring to Zheng Fan, is naturally.

Zheng Fan is very lazy and rarely attends public events, but it is precisely because of this mystery that he relies on his demon kings to shape his personality.

If Zheng Fan had nothing to do every day, he would just jump around a few times and show up everywhere, he might not have such a good character effect.

Therefore, every time Zheng Fan appeared, the surrounding armorers would be extremely excited, as if they had seen the fanatical fans of the idol.

Stimulated by the reaction of all the sergeants after Tian Wujing appeared in the army last time, during this time, the demon kings spared no effort in this god-making movement.

"My lord, I don't understand what you're saying."

"Since you came here to be on duty, the number of trips the master has taken to our east gate has begun to increase."

"The general likes to go through the east gate, what does this have to do with me."

"Nothing to do? The blacksmith workshop is in the west of the city, but the master went to inspect the blacksmith workshop and deliberately passed through our east gate, and after returning from the blacksmith workshop, he deliberately went around and returned from our east gate.

Forget it about going out of the city to inspect, the owner doesn't like people who are lively on weekdays, but recently he has frequently begun to patrol the streets, but all the inspections, will come to our east gate to see.

The day before yesterday alone, the master came to our east gate four times. ”

When Yu Huaping heard this reason, he was also a little helpless.

Really

Zheng Fan likes to run to the east gate when he has nothing to do during this time,

Even if you go on one or two trips, it seems that now that you have become a walk after lunch and dinner, you have to walk this way.

Yu Huaping can understand the reason why Zheng Fan ran here,

A Juggernaut was helping him watch the gate,

He doesn't have to come and see it every now and then,

Every time the corners of his mouth collapsed tightly, he pretended to be serious, but in fact, he was happy in his heart, and he was so unhappy.

"Brother, I don't ask you who the devil is."

"It's sacred."

"Well, sacred, I don't ask you, you are also very conscientious on weekdays, and you can't find the slightest mistake, which makes me very satisfied."

"Thank you for your appreciation."

"Tonight, you have to come."

"Something to do at night."

At night, the Sword Saint had to teach the little sword boy to practice swords, which was a lesson that could not be touched every day.

Hearing this, Jin Shu was not angry, but nodded and said:

"Okay."

After that,

Jin Shuke turned his head and pointed at the guards behind him and scolded:

"Eat the pastries after the next duty, stand up for me, and save the military discipline officer from coming over to beat you board!"

………

In the bedroom of the back house of the general's mansion,

The little marquis pouted and lay on the bed, with a mouth of "wow, wow", and he didn't know what he was saying.

After seeing this child, Zheng Fan asked Xue San to go to Litian City again, wanting to inform Tian Wujing of the news, the door of the Hou Mansion was still closed, and the armor soldiers on the periphery were completely unsympathetic.

Later, Xue San was forced to infiltrate the Hou Mansion and left Zheng Fan's letter in the Hou Mansion.

As for whether the letter will be picked up by others or something, Xue San patted his small chest and said absolutely not, as soon as he sneaked into the Hou Mansion, he instantly felt like he was being stared at by a tiger.

Obviously, all his small actions fell into Tian Wujing's "eyes", so it was impossible for the letter to be picked up by others, and there was no possibility of being left behind.

It's just that what makes Zheng Fan incomprehensible is that since his letter was sent, Tian Wujing has not come or said anything, nor has he sent anyone over to see the child.

It's like he's forgotten that his son is still with him.

However, in the words of a blind man, "looking" like this, a Longyuan sword and the five thousand Jin troops are considered milk powder money?

At this point,

The little doll eating "sky-high" milk powder is still on the bed and continues to work hard, no one in the house is looking at him, it is a very dangerous thing to throw a child on the bed like this, and the identity of this child is so precious.

finally

When the little marquis was about to climb out of bed and was about to fall down,

A stone that had been placed on the bed suddenly flew up and pushed the child back.

The little marquis rolled over on the bed like a green onion, and instead of crying, he looked at the stone with two small eyes.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

The stone did not move again.

Seeing this, the little marquis began to continue to crawl out of the bed.

finally

The one in the stone couldn't bear it,

A black shadow of a baby appeared,

The appearance of a magic pill with an extremely terrifying image,

Standing in front of the little marquis.

Xiao Hou Ye didn't cry, but lay down on his side, dancing and laughing while looking at the demon pill.

Magic Pill grimaced.

The little marquis slowly got up again,

Crawled in front of the magic pill,

Hold your head up,

Pouting little ass,

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Demon Pill opened his mouth and said:

"Boom............ Trugg............ ............"

"Wow............ Wow............ Wow............"

"Jie Ji ......"

"Wow......"
