Zhang Zhongjun didn't have anything to do after his own guardian beasts were upgraded, that is, he was desperately trying to fill his own dantian by cultivating, of course, this was a very difficult thing.

And in addition, it is natural to send people everywhere to buy cheats, and the meridians that have been opened in his body now have increased to fifteen because of the [Flame Fist], and it will take a long time for the meridians of the whole body to be opened. Oh, it shouldn't be said that it is a long time, but it requires a lot of different kinds of cheats, if there are enough cheats of different kinds, Zhang Zhongjun is not unable to open the meridians of the whole body in a short time.

Zhang Zhongjun's guardian beast, the woman turned into a hen, surrounds Zhang Zhongjun all day long, serving tea and pouring water, washing and cleaning, etc., except for not warming the bed, other maid work has been done. Maybe the identity of the hen is very maternal enough, so she does these jobs very decently, and she has become a super maid.

Of course, this hen demon, who was given the name Zhang Hongyan by Zhang Zhongjun, naturally became the director of the inner house of Zhang Zhongjun's mansion.

There are so many guardian beasts under Zhang Zhongjun, that is, Zhang Hongyan, the hen, who always stays by Zhang Zhongjun's side to guard, and as for the tree man named Zhang Gangmu, it has become a big tree in Zhang Zhongjun's house, and he keeps cultivating.

Twelve chicks? They prefer the body of a chick to the body of a human child, and they are chattering around Zhang Zhongjun's mansion all day long. Well, their names, the male ones are called Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Fenger, all the way to Zhang Fengliu, and the female ones are Zhang Huangyi, Zhang Huanger, and all the way to Zhang Huangliu.

Foxes and big bad wolves, they naturally went to the surrounding mountains and forests to cultivate, and only ran back to the mansion to rest when they were tired or bored.

As for the name, according to Zhang Zhongjun's character, the fox is called Zhang Yanmei, and the big bad wolf is called Zhang Yaoyang.

Although Zhang Zhongjun's name was a little bad and too casual, his guardian beasts were grateful one by one, because Zhang Zhongjun gave them the surname Zhang, which was an important sign of accepting them as a member of the family.

This is the case on the side of the guardian beasts, what about the hundreds of people who recognize Zhang Zhongjun as their lord? After being notified by Zhang Zhongjun that he had become a lord, that he had 10 square kilometers of land, and that it was also land near the sea, they were all grinding their fists and clapping their hands.

No wonder they are excited, first of all, their lord has become a nobleman, so everything they do can only be punished by the lord, and the government is not qualified to punish themselves, which is just an extra talisman! If the relationship with the lord is very good, then it is okay to kill people and set fire outside!

And this is the privilege of the aristocracy, not only the nobles cause trouble, but the local government has no right to manage it, but the slaves of the nobles make trouble, and the local government has no right to manage it. I don't know how the Great Chen Dynasty would give such rules to stir up discord between officialdom and the people and nobles. But I think it is to make the reputation of the nobles bad through such indulgence, so that as long as the nobles dare to commit something rebellious, the officialdom will not cause public opinion.

Among them, Zhang Zhongjun has been vaguely aware of this problem, don't look at the government does not care about the countryside, directly throws the countryside to the gang management, and indulges the nobles, but the nobles' territories are all outside the city, that is to say, in fact, the nobles are generally engaged in the gang's territory.

In many cases, the government can be said to sit idly by and watch the nobles and gangs fight privately, and even encourage such behavior. Of course, most of the results of the nobles fighting with the gang are that the nobles suffer heavy losses, and then the gang is scolded by the government, and afterwards secretly makes up for the gang from all aspects, so that the gang can continue to fight with the nobles after recovery.

This kind of gang that dares to fight with the nobility is what the government likes and will secretly support. Therefore, as soon as the gang found out that there were nobles on their territory, they all went to cause trouble without saying a word, so as to gain the favor of the local government.

Of course, there are also aristocrats and gangs united, for such an existence, the government directly ignores it, because no matter how they make trouble, they are still in the countryside, anyway, the countryside is abandoned, whatever you want, it is best to make the local gentry unhappy, and it is wonderful to accuse the nobles of rebellion.

Therefore, the basic plate of the government is in the city, and unlike the previous history, the cities of the Great Chen Dynasty are very huge, and a county town can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, a government city can have millions, and a provincial city can have hundreds of millions of people.

Moreover, all kinds of workshops are in the city, and with such a city, I am really not afraid that the countryside outside will be robbed. Unless there is that kind of thing, you can force the people in the city to be unable to leave the city, and then intercept all kinds of resources outside, and do not supply blood to the city, so that it is possible to force the city to surrender.

But just think about it, the city occupies almost seventy or eighty percent of the powerful forces in the locality, who can block the city, who can intercept the resources imported into the city from all over the country? That is all money, and it is probably more dangerous than blocking the city if it cuts off people's financial routes! Which of those who live by these routes of transporting resources is simple?

Oh, and more digressions. Or go back to Zhang Zhongjun's subordinates and show that he will become a nobleman. The people who recognized Zhang Zhongjun as the main father, if you really want to talk about it, are actually the military and political personnel in the Shuilin District, even those who did not follow the book office, the government service, the catcher, and the patrol, after Zhang Zhongjun came back, he found that everyone else recognized Zhang Zhongjun as the master, and they naturally did not lag behind, and they all followed to recognize the master.

Therefore, it can now be said that the Shuilin District is equivalent to Zhang Zhongjun's private kingdom, and all the military and political personnel from top to bottom are Zhang Zhongjun's retainers!

Because of this, Zhang Zhongjun originally wanted to wait for the holy decree to be issued, and he couldn't take all his retainers to the territory, and if he really wanted to take all the retainers away, this water forest area would be abolished!

You must know that Zhang Zhongjun is still the number one leader in the water forest area, and all the people except him are his retainers, in this case, if you don't hurry up and arrange all the positions, when will you wait? As long as the people are placed, even if someone comes to be the second-in-command, third-in-command, or fourth-in-command, even if the position of the first leader is changed, then there is no way to control the water forest area!

After listening to the advice of his subordinates, Zhang Zhongjun directly spent several days of hard work to exercise the power of his number one, and placed all the positions of real power that did not need official positions to his retainers, and even all other positions that needed manpower were all filled, or even supernumerated, anyway, all of them were placed in his retainers.

You must know that at the beginning, in order to make the district government function, Zhang Zhongjun only placed some indispensable positions with manpower, and the other positions were empty, but now he doesn't care if he is redundant or not, no matter how high or low, it is the minimum requirement to stuff two people.

As for those who need official positions, then Zhang Zhongjun has no choice, so he can only let his retainers cultivate diligently and reach the [True Yuan Realm] as soon as possible, so that at least with the position of a nine-rank official, he can occupy these positions that require official positions.

As for buying officials, don't think about it, although the Great Chen Dynasty is so spacious that as long as the strength of the people under its rule reaches the [True Yuan Realm], you will give a stupid look like a nine-rank official, but you are not a person who is not even a [True Yuan Realm], as long as you are not from the imperial examination, then no matter how much money you spend, you will not get an official position. The Great Chen Dynasty, a dynasty with a somewhat abnormal brain, still holds on to this point.

Therefore, if Zhang Zhongjun wants to truly turn all the locations in the water forest area into the same color of his own retainers, he has to work hard to cultivate his retainers.
