Chapter 735: Careerists Everywhere
"There are ten towns under the jurisdiction of Tongyuan City, the largest has 30,000 permanent residents, and the smallest town has 5,000 residents!"
"In addition, there are nearly 100 villages under the jurisdiction of Tongyuan City, thousands of people in the big ones, and two or three hundred in the small ones, who are specifically responsible for planting grain, shepherding livestock and supplying the food needs of Tongyuan and ten towns, and there are also a lot of bad rice, meat and vegetables, which are provided to the caravans to sell to the chaotic hinterland of Daqi!"
"Generally speaking, although Tongyuan is prosperous in the three-thousand-mile frontier, it is prosperous in commerce, and the rest of the cities have different functions, or specialize in the production of leather, or specialize in the production of knives and cows unique to the frontier, or specialize in the production of grain processing products, etc., the entire three-thousand-mile frontier can be said to be rich and peaceful!"
"After ten years of development in a peaceful environment, the 3,000-mile frontier not only does not need to be supplied with materials from the mainland, but on the contrary, it has continuously sent grain, iron tools and various special products and other materials to the interior, and has become the main source of food for several nearby states!"
Reading this, the middle-aged man with a shrewd face gently closed the official proclamation that had been translated, breathed a long sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "It's really incredible!" ”
"Incredible!"
The majestic man sitting at the top said in a deep voice: "To be able to make the desolate three-thousand-mile frontier so prosperous in a short period of time, that mysterious frontier lord is a great talent!" ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood in their hearts: the big leader has a heart of love for talent again!
Not only did they not have the slightest resentment at this, but on the contrary, they were very satisfied with the idea of the great chief.
Don't talk about the big leaders, it's them, why weren't they shocked by the content of the official proclamation?
As long as you are not a fool, you know that the Lord of the Three Thousand Miles Frontier is definitely a business-oriented talent!
And what they lack as a group is such a managerial talent.
"The thickness of the three-thousand-mile frontier is also unexpected!"
The shrewd middle-aged man who had just read the proclamation sighed: "I have found out a lot of news in the yamen, and at this time, the three-thousand-mile frontier is said to have a population of nearly five million!" ”
The people present didn't react much to this, and obviously didn't care much about the five million people.
At the peak of their careers, they had tens of millions of people under their rule, and a mere population of 5 million was nothing.
It's just that......
"Great Chief, this is a three-thousand-mile frontier, according to the archives in the yamen, ten years ago, the population of the entire three-thousand-mile frontier was less than 500,000!"
The shrewd middle-aged man who read the official proclamation said in a low tone: "And more than two-thirds of these five million people are strong men and women!" ”
This is a place where everyone is shocked!
More than two-thirds of the population of 5 million are young men and women, and after removing half of the women, there are 16.7 million young men.
Even if you directly take one-third of them into an army, and the rest of the young and strong people are all responsible for logistics, then you can instantly pull up an army of five or six hundred thousand, and in terms of the peak martial arts style of the 3,000-mile frontier, it only needs a little training to be a strong army!
Moreover, the 3,000-mile frontier is remote, there is no shortage of money and food, and there is enough time to train and form the military horses under his command, and the combat effectiveness is much stronger than the hundreds of thousands of rabble of the previous commanders.
In this way, all the people here who have great ambitions are determined to achieve the 3,000-mile frontier area!
……
At the same time, in the back office of the official mansion of Tongyuan City, the county of the city was receiving an uninvited guest.
"The county guard has to think about it, don't miss the opportunity!"
The uninvited guest said slowly: "If the county guard votes for the imperial court, His Majesty will definitely have a heavy reward at that time, and maybe he can make the county guard go further and become the marshal of the three-thousand-mile frontier!" ”
But it turned out that this was actually a lobbyist for the royal family of the Great Qi Dynasty.
The county guard of Tongyuan City was very moved, but after his face changed a few times, he still said in a gloomy manner: "Don't hide it from your envoy, if you can return to the rule of Great Qi, it would be the best, and this official is quite happy in his heart!" ”
The royal envoy's face was overjoyed, and he thought that the purpose of his visit was about to be accomplished.
"But ......"
As he spoke, he was afraid of the word 'but', and the smile on the royal envoy's face froze, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Really......
"It's not that I'm cowardly, it's that the Lord of the Frontier is too terrifying!"
The county guard smiled bitterly: "If the royal family wants me to defect, I can also join the officials, but the royal family must kill the lord of the frontier, otherwise I have to think about my own family!" ”
And the face says that he is not timid?
The royal envoy was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, but he couldn't attack directly, so he had to say with a stiff face: "The royal family has really considered this matter, and it will not disappoint the county guard!" ”
"Then I'll wait for the good news!"
The Tongyuan County Shou climbed up the pole and said with a wry smile: "Let Your Excellency laugh, it's really my last Tongyuan County Shou's family who died too miserably, and I don't dare to take risks easily!" ”
The royal envoy had nothing to say, and the other party had said everything to this point, if the royal family wanted to ask him to take the risk of surrendering without any evidence, it would be impossible at all.
If you want people to have a lot of money and food, as well as strong strength to surrender to Chengcheng, the royal family has to remove the biggest and most important hidden danger for others!
The last Tongyuan County Warden, I don't know which force was bribed, just five years ago, he directly raised the flag of rebellion and broke away from the jurisdiction of the lord of the three-thousand-mile border, and the momentum was quite noisy at that time.
Then, there is no then.
The next day, the bodies of his family, including himself, were all hung in Tongyuan City for three days, and the impact of the so-called incident on Tongyuan was pitiful, and it didn't even make much waves, but it just became a talking point in the mouths of the people, and it disappeared quietly.
Although all the people who colluded with the Tongyuan County Guard, although they were not killed, they were all sent to the labor camp according to the size of the crime.
For those involved, the camp is not a good place to go!
The lessons from the past are not far away, although the current county guard of Tongyuan City is a little excited, but he is not stupid enough to toss his own life indiscriminately.
The lord of the three-thousand-mile border, although he does not directly manage the place, is so powerful that it is not something that a mere Tongyuan city and county guard can contend with.
This is a world of demons and ghosts, and at the same time, a world of supernatural powers.
The county guard of Tongyuan City knows that the lord of the three-thousand-mile border is a strong magician, and it is quite difficult to take it down, and it is not that there is no existence of wanting to pick peaches all these years!
With the development of the three-thousand miles of border area is getting better and better, it has become the star of the states and counties in the border area, and if you want to control the three-thousand miles border, there are not too many careerists as a foundation.
But what is the end result?
As far as the county guard of Yuancheng knows, he knows several waves of careerists, but in the end, all of them died quietly, and even the bones could not be found.
He didn't want to follow in such footsteps, he was living a good life, and it was simply impossible for him to take advantage of the royal fire.
Obviously, the royal envoy also knew this, and was not too upset, this is all human nature.
As the situation in the Great Qi Dynasty became more and more turbulent, the current royal envoy did not have enough confidence in his heart, and he himself really had no confidence in whether the royal family was willing to spend huge efforts to solve the overlord here on the three-thousand-mile border.
When the county guard sent the royal envoy away, he was secretly relieved.
He had previously attached great importance to orthodoxy, and was very happy at the arrival of the royal envoy.
It's just that now, Tongyuan County Shou is a little stunned in his heart, and he doesn't feel very comfortable.
Whether the royal envoy was telling a lie or not, he could see at a glance that the originally high spirit seemed to have been directly poured down by a basin of cold water, temporarily extinguishing other thoughts.
Again, as the situation in the Great Qi Dynasty became more and more turbulent, the majesty of the royal family also declined rapidly, and it was impossible to empty the white wolf.
If the royal family can't take action to kill the lord of the three-thousand-mile border, the Tongyuan county guard doesn't feel the need to take refuge, although he values orthodoxy very much.
……
In a temple outside the city of Tongyuan, dozens of temples form a Buddhist temple with a large scale and quite good decoration.
At this time, in the side hall of the temple, several men with extraordinary bearing were communicating cordially with the temple host and elders.
"Hmph, how can we humans be subservient to demons?"
One of the men said angrily: "No matter how good that person is at governing the place, he can't hide the fact that he is a demon!" ”
"Exactly!"
His companion, a calm man with gray hair and a bearing like an abyss, followed: "It is our duty to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and the abbot and elders don't want to be under the jurisdiction of demons all the time, right?" ”
"Amitabha, the donor is laughing!"
The abbot clasped his hands together, shook his head and said slowly: "Although we are not very reluctant, the situation is stronger than people!" ”
"Master, that's wrong!"
The aura on the body of the first person to speak was extremely amazing, and the word was released gently, and in the room where the door was closed, a gust of wind was set off, and he said coldly: "As long as the border monk joins forces with us, how can he not solve that monster?" ”
"Since the donor is so confident, why don't you test it first?"
Without waiting for the abbot to speak, the temple elder next to him said unhappily: "I'll wait and see for the border monks!" ”
"Try it!"
That person's temperament was also quite anxious, and he sneered when he heard this: "I just hope that after I have tried it, the abbot master will not be the head of the turtle!" ”
"Amitabha, the donor is laughing!"
The abbot still looked kind, and said lightly: "The poor monk is waiting for the good news of the donor!" ”
Seeing this, the men with extraordinary bearing had to get up and say goodbye, and their expressions remained unchanged, as if they didn't feel the abbot's wordless refusal at all.
"Abbot, those are all the subordinates of King Liang who failed to fight for the dragon, I'm afraid that King Liang has also arrived at the three-thousand-mile border!"
The temple elder next to him said with a worried face: "As soon as they came, they wanted to unite with the border monks and target that person together, and their ambitions were really not small!" ”
"Amitabha, just watch what happens!"
The abbot's expression did not move, and his tone was indifferent......
