Chapter 251: Reasons for Allegiance
Zhang Zhongjun's eyes were shining, he knew that Fulong County was the richest county in the entire empire after deducting Gyeonggi and several mineral capitals and port capitals. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It can also be said that among the coastal counties of the empire, it is the largest in area, the most populous, and the most noble.
It is reported that the county's successive county guards and county magistrates have almost all been promoted and left after serving one term, and they have either been impeached and removed from office by their rivals, or they have committed crimes and have been arrested and imprisoned, and more often have sought to be transferred abroad as soon as they took office. Of course, there are also many who die of old age directly in office.
As for the county lieutenant and county lieutenant of this county, either they are successful in their first term and are promoted and leave, or they die of old age in office, or they are killed in the line of duty by bandits, anyway, there are only three styles.
On the contrary, the officers in the Fulong Naval Army, which is unique to the coastal county government, also strictly follow the rules of changing the term of four years and the transfer of two terms.
The whole empire knows about it, but the emperor doesn't speak, the court doesn't say anything, and there is no relationship between the counties and subordinates, so what happens to Fulong County, outsiders can only guess.
But think about it, even people in a small inland county like Zhang Zhongjun have heard about the situation in this Fulong County, and they know how arrogant they have become.
And what made Zhang Zhongjun's eyes shine even more was that this guy who called himself Zong Haoshan had a very ancient kneeling etiquette, and there were specific movements between bowing together.
These actions, if it weren't for those who had been educated in the etiquette of the imperial court, would not have known about it at all.
This is not the current etiquette of the empire, but the etiquette of the previous dynasties before the establishment of the empire, and this etiquette is only retained by the surrounding vassal states that have submitted to the empire for generations.
In other words, this ancestor named Zong Haoshan was actually a nobleman from a vassal state, and then he came to settle in Fulong County of the empire for unknown reasons, and then he didn't know what happened to his family and forced Zong Haoshan to embark on the path of a free contract assassin?
It's just that this kind of guy from a coastal frontier vassal country, why should he worship himself as the lord? If you are a foreigner in the southwest and northwest regions, you will come to worship yourself, the man of Bali Pavilion, as the lord, after all, the distance is close!
But you are a person from a coastal area thousands of miles away, and it is too much to worship a feudal lord in the southwest corner of the inland to be the lord, right?
He only changed his attitude when he heard the name of his Bali Pavilion, could it be that there was anything strange about Lao Tzu's fiefdom?
Isn't there a big desert around, a big freshwater lake in the middle, and then there's a ...... at the bottom of the lake?
Well, my own territory is a bit weird!
Let's not mention that the upper half of the circle that was excavated by them is a water elemental stone, the lower half circle is a fire elemental stone, and there is a hollow circle with suspended plants in the middle, and then there is a skeleton temple controlled by Xiaobai below!
Moreover, the son of an honorary earl was actually canonized by the Emperor of Heaven to Bali Pavilion as a real baron, it is strange that this Bali Pavilion is not weird!
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongjun directly asked: "Zong Haoshan, since you are my subordinate, I don't know if you can tell me, why did you decide to be loyal after hearing that I am a Bali Pavilion man?"
Zong Haoshan did not hesitate at all, and said directly: "Lord, when the subordinates hear the full name of the lord, they naturally swelled up, as long as they follow the lord, the subordinates can achieve their wishes, and the subordinates' sixth sense is very sensitive, so the subordinates directly ask for allegiance!"
"Damn! You really dare to say it! What a liar you say! Do you think this lord is so stupid?!" Zhang Zhongjun shouted.
Zong Haoshan was a little stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Zhongjun to refute so bluntly, didn't he say that nobles all want to be face-saving? It stands to reason that you shouldn't believe what you say in your heart, and you should pretend to believe it on your face?
"Lord, everything the minister said is true! It is indeed the minister's senses!" Zong Haoshan knelt down and kowtowed and shouted.
"Damn, it seems that you guys have some secrets that can't be said! Okay, this lord doesn't explore your secrets, you just tell this lord the truth, whether you really serve this lord!" Zhang Zhongjun said with a stiff face.
"The minister is indeed truly loyal to the lord!" Zong Haoshan kowtowed and said categorically.
"Are you willing to obey all my orders?!" Zhang Zhongjun asked in a cold voice again.
"Fulfill it truthfully, never disobey!" Zong Haoshan continued to kowtow and said firmly.
Zhang Zhongjun frowned, staring intently at this Zong Haoshan, he felt that he was strange, knowing that the origin of this goods was unknown, and he was ready to assassinate himself before, but Mao himself heard his words of allegiance, and felt very comfortable?
Think carefully about the feeling that Zong Haoshan gave himself, if you don't consider his origin and strange behavior, just by feeling, this person has no malice towards himself.
Zhang Zhongjun believes in his own feelings, so although this thing is very mysterious and the excuse used is also very weird, but since there is no malice, then let him really be his subordinate, anyway, the secrets he hides will always be exposed in the future, and he will always know.
Zhang Zhongjun directly smiled and helped Zong Haoshan up, and patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Okay, I believe in you! So do you have any requirements? ”
"For Yulu, the minister is the same as everyone else, but the minister needs to take a day off on the fifteenth day of every month, and he also asks the lord to allow it. Zong Haoshan knelt down again and said.
"You are not a condition, the rules in our territory are the same as those of the empire, the first day of every decade is a vacation, and there are three days off a month, you only ask for one day now, but it is less. Zhang Zhongjun said with a smile.
"The minister only needs to take one day off on the fifteenth day of the month. Zong Haoshan said respectfully and firmly.
"Well, whatever you want. Zhang Zhongjun shook his head, then threw out ten golden cakes and said, "This is your settling-in fee, you go and deal with personal affairs first, how long will it take?"
"It only takes one day. Zong Haoshan unceremoniously looked at the ten gold cakes on the ground, and the gold cakes disappeared immediately, obviously this thing also has things like storage magic weapons.
This made Zhang Zhongjun can't help frowning, feeling that this storage magic weapon seems to be worthless, the righteous father and brother have it, the two brothers of the Five Tigers of the Broken Door have it, and the newly acquired subordinates in front of him have it!
After Zong Haoshan saluted Zhang Zhongjun, the whole person suddenly disappeared, Zhang Zhongjun was busy thinking around, and the bean soldiers also deliberately walked around at will, but they just didn't notice the slightest situation.
This couldn't help but make Zhang Zhongjun sigh: "What a cow!"
