Zhao Ming asked in a low voice: "How many state lords are here!" He knew about these officials, but it was rare to encounter such a high title as the state marquis in the extreme border city, so he was a little curious, most countries are fiefdoms, county lords, state lords, government lords, town lords, The lord of the country is the title of the title, the lord of the country has a fief to the lord under each belt, the people are managed by the lord on behalf of the lord, and the tax is collected by the lord himself, but they have to pay a certain tax to the state every year according to the size of the fief, and there are various officials of all sizes in the main city of the country, such as consuls, deacons, deacons, deacons, deacons, etc., and the state also has various officials who inspect the situation in various places.

"Our Tianma City is a big city, so there are more lords of various titles, the state lords are the first two in the left and right rows, there are three or four mansion lords, and the others are town landlords and township landlords. Tang Yuan returned.

"The one who called Murong City Lord's name was the state lord, no wonder he was a little arrogant!"

Hearing Zhao Ming say that the state lord was arrogant, Tang Yuan smiled and said: "Actually, the city lord has the title of county lord, but there is no right to control between the big and small lords, and they are only under the orders of the lord of the country. ”

Of course, it's okay to have more, and you can also send food to the gold yuan, and now everyone goes to Mu He to register their own supplies. Mu and the middle-aged man sitting on the table and chair next to Mu Rong, Mu Rong's youngest son, Mu An's father, married the fifth princess of Ailan.

Most of the people got up and walked towards Mu He, and a small number of people sat still in place.

"I won't give out this money, and where can I get so much money from the house. Seeing the hesitant expressions of the remaining small number of people, Duan Shan said loudly, thinking in his heart to stabilize these people first.

"Oh, Duan Shan, the last war was more than ten years ago, your fiefdom is so big, it is impossible to have no money for more than ten years! How can the same state lord Lie have money, and you don't?" Mu Rong said with a smile.

"Maybe the civilian harvest on his side is better, it can't all be the same!"

"You see I'm protecting everyone, you can't make friends if you don't make it! Look at the people behind you are waiting for your reaction!"

The people behind all looked at the ground when they heard Mu Rong's words, but they didn't mean to act.

"I believe they also have a bad harvest, and there is no money, what do you ask us to pay!"

After listening to Duan Shan, someone seconded: "Yes, yes, the harvest is not good." ”

"There's no money, right, then why did you take in concubines recently, and recruited high-level meta-technicians, and you also raised 10,000 sergeants fat and fat, Ley is rich, why didn't I see that he has three concubines." Mu Rong said flatly.

After Mu Rong finished speaking, several people stepped forward to register the materials handed in.

This old guy investigated me so clearly, I just don't pay it, can you still come and grab it, Duan Shan didn't speak with a dark face.

"The lord of the law state of Murong City can have 10,000 soldiers, and besides, our soldiers are used to help civilians catch mountain bandits and catch gangsters. The voice of the person sitting next to Duan Shan.

"I didn't say no, I don't think the Marquis of Leyzhou has the money to support so many sergeants, or you don't need to support you with a hundred gold yuan, just let your 10,000 sergeants join the army defending the city!"

Duan Shan's face turned from black to red and from red to black, this Mu Rong thought it was too beautiful!

"Okay, I'm not going around in circles with you, you guys haven't registered yet, are you really a good old man? I'm waiting to throw you down from the city tower one by one, I want to see if the lord of the country will come to punish me as the lord of the city in this war years, you have to double the registration, go back and don't add taxes to the civilians, the lord of the country is here to let you lead them, not let you come to fish them, if the old man hears that there is something wrong in your fiefdom, I ask the lord of the country to change you immediately, these registrations are to give the lord of the country a purpose, maybe in the future victory, you still have a small merit nickname! One by one, they stared at the gold yuan coins in front of them, and they didn't want to think about the old man's city is gone, what happened to you, and I thought that the old man was coaxing you to play!"

was reprimanded by the city lord of Mu Rong like this, and everyone who didn't pay it behind them panicked, and they all hurriedly stepped forward to register, only Duan Shan was still sitting in place.

Some people thought in their hearts, I didn't expect the city lord to be such a person, because there is no intersection, everyone rarely interacts, and some have not even seen each other, but I heard that this city lord used to be an obscurity, more than ten years ago in the war, he jumped from an obscurity to become the city lord of Tianma City, it is rumored that he has an amiable personality, and his amiable personality will throw people down from the city tower?

Some people are full of regrets, they have known that they have already paid it, and they will see what kind of fart they have! What kind of luck mentality does not have to pay, and now they have to pay double the military funds!

"City Lord Murong, I want to ask, how many soldiers have been recruited recently!" Duan Shan said politely. An idea crossed Duan Shan's mind.

"More than 10,000, plus some outsiders, otherwise there won't be so many!"

"Oh, that's it, I can't seem to say that I can't afford to pay for so many soldiers, I'm asking by the way, how many troops will our Tianma City send to support Pingshan City tomorrow?" Duan Shan continued to ask politely.

"It's long overdue, Brother Duan Shan, tomorrow I will send 10,000 troops to support Pingshan City, what's the matter, Brother Duan Shan, what is your opinion?" Mu Rong also said politely.

"Then it's not the newly recruited soldiers who will support Pingshan Castle tomorrow!"

"Yes, of course, let the recruits go to Bo to see if they can help Pingshan City, our main force and elite still have to be preserved, in case Pingshan City is captured, it will effectively protect everyone's safety!" Mu Rong pretended to be puzzled.

Duan Shan immediately said loudly: "Everyone heard what the city lord said just now, so can we understand it like this, everyone contributes to the newly recruited soldiers, and the city lord just uses it to see if there is a chance, we all know that the new soldiers can't have any combat power, and everyone's military resources are estimated to be wasted!"

After Duan Shan finished speaking, the people around him were talking again.

"After all, you still don't want to pay for it! Even churches, colleges, adventure guilds, and various institutions have come out, what else are you reluctant to do, it's really so difficult to come out, do you want to keep the money to recruit and buy horses by yourself!"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's better for you to explain it to everyone. Duan Shan said urgently, what else did he find?

"Is it nonsense that you know best, explain? Oh, then I'll say it again! Tomorrow we will send 10,000 elites to support Pingshan Castle. ”

"You, that's not what you said just now!" Duan Shan said angrily.

"Oh, that's just a joke with you!" Mu Rong said happily.

"In vain, as the lord of a city, you are full of nonsense!" Duan Shan was extremely angry in his heart, this cunning old guy didn't take himself seriously at all.

"Don't leave you, the old man is too lazy to talk nonsense with you, if you don't hand it over, the old man who is stationed in the defenders stationed at the various passes on the periphery of your side will withdraw, you might as well send your own soldiers!" Mu Rong finished speaking to Duan Shan, and then said to the people who had already registered and taken their places: "If the real soldiers come to the city at that time, the lords of some of your forces can assist in the defense of various sections, everyone must cooperate! Today's main thing is this, it's afternoon time, some of you are coming from far away, some of you may have to travel for several days to get home, I suggest that you set off tomorrow, and I am going to have a banquet here in the evening, of course, you can go back now, but you don't eat in vain, these are all the money from everyone, maybe you can eat some money to go back! Okay, after today's matter, everyone can disband!" After speaking, he got up and walked to the gate first, leaving everyone with a stunned face, this old guy used everyone's military funds to feast everyone, and he said it was very arrogant.

Tianma City is called a city, in fact, it is also called Tianma Province, the total area of water and land is also thousands of kilometers, thousands of kilometers can not be enclosed with city walls, the periphery can build a city wall as much as possible, some dangerous places are not necessary to omit, some places even use the skills of the elementalist to help change the terrain into a lot that is not easy to pass or climb, mainly there are many passes of various sizes, and the main city where Mu Rong is located is only built according to the main road, like the extreme border city and Shengyuan City are small cities and occupy an area that is not very large, and the area of Pingshan City is relatively much larger, its area is half of Tianma City。

Waiting for Mu Rong to arrive, Zhao Ming and the others, who were at the end of the line, followed behind Mu Rong and walked out.

A few people did not go down to the city, but stood on the city wall and looked at the scenery outside the city, and some of the big and small lords who came out of the main city tower came over to say hello to the city lord and say goodbye, and some went directly to the stairs of the city tower.

"Brother Ley, thank you for your support. Seeing Ley coming over, Murong was the first to speak.

"For my own safety, for the security of the country, it should be so! I can't find a reason not to support it, the lord of the country has given me a lifetime of glory and comfort, and I must contribute when it is time to contribute, there are 5,000 sergeants on my side, I will keep 1,000 for public security, and the other 4,000 will join the army of the city lord to defend against foreign enemies!"

"That's great, it's still Brother Ley's sensible!, but you didn't seem to say anything about it last night!" Mu Rongxi said. Lord Ley has to travel several days from his own territory to Tianma City, and he only arrived last night, because he has a good relationship with Mu Rong and lives in the City Lord's Mansion temporarily.

"This is not to surprise my brother, I will go down first, the wind here is strong and my old guy can't resist it!"

"Okay, you go back first, I'll go back to you for tea later!"

At this time, Duan Shan walked out of the main city tower with a few people, he saw Mu Rong and his group walking towards the stairway of the city wall without looking back, Duan Shan walked out of the door, and Mu He also walked out and walked towards Mu Rong and the others.

"How much military resources does that Duan Mountain have?" asked when he saw Mu He approaching Mu Rong.

"Just a hundred gold coins, I'm about to tell you about this!" Mu He replied, thinking that since he married the fifth princess for the second time thirteen years ago, this father has not had a good face for himself, and he has simply lived in the capital and rarely comes back, this time he came back to learn about the war and lived at home for a few days.
