The big frog once again covered its stomach and kicked its feet in the sky, although it would stand out for Zhang Zhongjun being insulted, but when he saw Zhang Zhongjun being pitted, he couldn't help but laugh wildly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Seeing Zhang Zhongjun's expression, the officer obviously understood his worries, and couldn't help but comfort: "Don't worry, although your fiefdom is only an oasis with a diameter of eight miles, that oasis is an important stopping point for several surrounding countries to come to our empire's trade, and the tax revenue alone is almost comparable to the county town, plus all kinds of materials and goods are extremely rich." So, your fiefdom is still very good......"

Zhang Zhongjun smiled bitterly: "It's just that you need to deal with the 10,000 empires and 40,000 foreigners living around the oasis, right?"

Chen Jun's guards were also suddenly, no wonder there were 50,000 people surrounding an oasis with a diameter of eight miles, that is, only about 25 square miles, and this was a necessary resting place in the desert!

The ground is narrow and densely populated, and I am afraid that around this oasis, bloody storms and bloody rain will be staged all the time! The thought that they are only about 20 people to enter such a wolf's den, everyone's hearts are as if they are being pressed by a big stone, and they can't relax.

The officer was embarrassed for a moment, but still nodded and smiled: "That's true, yes, but even if you can't make them surrender, but you have the empire behind you, and a good man from the empire like the big head bell that the lower official said before will still confess to you in the face of the empire." ”

Zhang Zhongjun didn't speak, just nodded, everyone understands what this means, if you don't do anything, those local snakes will give you some benefits for the face of the empire, so that you can be a knight and chic, but if you want to do something, people will tell you what a local snake is!

Entering the county town, all you see are strict defense facilities, and the soldiers on the city wall are even more equipped with a pair of Ning Wang crossbows, and none of these soldiers are mortals, all of them are more than one weight of refinement.

The bluestone avenue, spacious enough to accommodate four rows of carriages, is presented in front of you, and on both sides of the road are bluestone shops, countless goods are placed in front of the shops, strangely dressed foreigners, leading horses, camels, lizards, and strangely shaped beast mounts, throwing awkward imperial Chinese, and bargaining with those indifferent-looking imperial merchants.

If you really want to talk about it, Zhang Zhongjun and they are actually all turtles, turtles in the hinterland of the empire, Chen Jun They have also seen some markets, Zhang Zhongjun spends most of his time in the county where the Earl's Mansion is located, and he can't help but follow the steward to the countryside to have a good time, it can be said that he has never seen foreigners, let alone those beast mounts.

However, Zhang Zhongjun calmed down faster than Chen Jun and the others, the reason is very simple, his senior brother is a frog holy beast, what is there to make a fuss about these mounts of ordinary beasts?

Of course, Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but be a little curious: "I didn't expect Tunshi County to be so lively, this business definitely looks more prosperous than the inland county town!"

The officer smiled a little smugly, "It's normal, the border counties, if there is no war, are the best commercial counties, and all kinds of goods and materials of foreign races and the goods and materials of the empire will be traded here. ”

The group was introduced all the way to the county guard's mansion, and after displaying the holy decree, they were welcomed to the yamen by the county guard. Although the county guard was extremely enthusiastic, Zhang Zhongjun was still sensitive to a hidden indifference.

But I don't think about it, as a county guard of 2,000 stones, in addition to having the power of the county guards of the counties in the hinterland of the empire, he also has the logistics of tens of thousands of county soldiers, and at the same time, he also controls the city guards who far exceed the number of soldiers in other counties.

What's more, these border county guards and county lieutenants are all the direct cronies of the Emperor of Heaven, and their status in the Emperor's heart is probably on par with his father.

I don't look at myself at all for this junior kid who is a real nobleman but has no backing, and now I can behave politely, I'm afraid it's all for the sake of the holy decree, and I shouldn't ask for anything.

With this thought, Zhang Zhongjun, who originally wanted to get some assistance from the county guard, naturally would not speak again, it was really better to rely on others than on himself.

After a while, the county guard still allocated 50 camels and a batch of tents and supplies suitable for use in the desert in accordance with the rules, and specially allocated several military drinking water trucks to Zhang Zhongjun.

As for weapons and the like, not even a spear has been allocated.

Zhang Zhongjun left the county government after thanking him and went to live at the post station, now he is not familiar with the situation in Bali Pavilion, so it is better to rest for a few days before setting off.

After settling down, the officials in the county town came to visit Zhang Zhongjun in person in order of status, and sent 50 camels to Zhang Zhongjun, the county lieutenant and the county guard, and then descended in turn, until the head catcher sent 1.

It's just that on the military side, except for the county lieutenant as a representative, the county soldiers didn't even come to visit a hundred generals, and everyone only symbolically came to Hara, drank tea, and then left, and there was no one to invite them to dinner!

It is conceivable that Zhang Zhongjun's future life will not be easy.

However, Zhang Zhongjun didn't care about this, and sent a sum of money to send Chen Jun and all of them out to find out information from the locals, while he used the identity of the lord to go to the county guard's house to find information.

Judging from the data, this Tunshi County has only been occupied by the empire for less than a hundred years, although a group of imperial people have migrated over, but the foreign population accounts for the majority here, and it is surrounded by desert grasslands, which is not suitable for the survival of an agricultural people like the empire.

In order to keep Tunshi County and defend against foreign invasions, Tunshi County has stationed a large number of troops, and it is said that a group of official monks have been stationed, but this monk does not belong to the county soldier system, nor does it belong to the northern and southern army system, and the information of the county guard is only vague and not detailed.

Zhang Zhongjun's fiefdom was originally an oasis without an owner, and several surrounding countries and tribes were fighting for life and death for this important transportation node.

In the end, the empire couldn't look at it, these guys fought chaotically, which was extremely harmful to the development of Tunshi County, and the rout troops flowed towards the empire, blocking the trade routes, and making Tunshi County's income drop greatly.

The Empire, as the most powerful existence in the surrounding countries, took this oasis, and other countries did not dare to speak up, and even those powerful desert tribes did not dare to seek domination, only prayed for the right to live.

In this regard, the empire is also very generous, and it doesn't even need to make decisions in the imperial court, and with a wave of the county guard's big hand, this Bali Pavilion has become a place where those tribes can enter and exit at will!

Zhang Zhongjun shook his head helplessly, no wonder the county guard was so cold to himself, and dared to feel that his fiefdom would appear in the current situation, because the county guard was poor and generous.

In this way, it is even more impossible for him to get help from the county, but fortunately, this county guard has been in office for almost ten years, and when the time comes, he must be transferred to other counties or promoted to the imperial court. When the time comes, the new county guard will come, and he should be able to get some help if he opens up the relationship again.
