Chapter 568: Variables

Fucheng did give Zhang Zhongjun face, and he knew it when he saw the carts of materials being transported.

Needless to say, money and grain, the city directly sent 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stone of rice, as for clothing, knives, guns, armor, horses, these official standard equipment was also transported by a large amount.

After a painstaking inventory of the dozen or so documents, the clerks were all smacked, although they didn't know how much would be allocated to establish a district office, after all, the lowest county government in the Great Chen Dynasty had been established for hundreds of years.

But looking at so much money, food and materials, it is definitely a big deal, because everyone has brains, and a little estimate, one-third of the money, food and materials can build this district government very well!

And more importantly, in addition to the money and food, a complete set of 1,000 sets including battle robes, underwear, bedding, shoes, socks and hats, 50 war horses, 100 sets of armor, 500 sets of leather armor, 500 metal shields, 1,000 swords, 5,000 spears, 200 1 stone bows, 50 2 stone bows, 20 crossbows, 5,000 armor-piercing arrows, and 100,000 ordinary iron-tipped arrows.

Everything else is easy to say, but the three-piece set of war horses, armor and crossbows is not allowed to be equipped by non-official soldiers. Don't look at Chen Yifeng of Fengwutang, he once led a team of cavalry to run around with great power, but in fact, their mounts are all retired war horses, or horses cultivated by themselves, maybe there are a few strong war horses among them, but it is impossible to want all elite war horses.

And they can't be equipped with armor and crossbows, they are at most equipped with leather armor and strong bows. Because the craftsmen who can make armor and strong crossbows are all collected by the government in the city.

And these things will only equip the city guards, and it would be good for the inspection battalion to have leather armor, but now so much equipment is actually sent to Lord Zhang Hongyi, who has the power to inspect it?

How extensive and deep is the relationship between this Lord Zhang Hongyi in Fucheng, you must know that the matter of allocating equipment is not something that can be said by Futai alone.

As long as a discerning person can see these things clearly, everyone has a deep awe of Zhang Zhongjun, who is only a sixteen-year-old eight-rank official.

Zhang Zhongjun didn't deal with specific matters, the treasury was managed by the clerk and the patrol officer, and the building was also handled by the clerk and the construction team, so he stayed in the camp that had just been fenced and trained the 150 inspectors.

It was only a month, and when the district government was only halfway established, Zhang Zhongjun had already trained these patrolmen to the point of seven, eight, eight, eight or eight of them, as long as they saw blood and fought a battle, these patrolmen could become an army.

It's just that this bloody battle is a troublesome matter, but Zhang Zhongjun has taken these patrolmen with him and walked around the entire water forest area. Especially the mountain col where he had been ambushed on the way to Nanlin Town before, he deliberately led people to pounce on it.

But he couldn't even see a single hair, let alone find the thief to go to war.

As for why this was the case, Zhang Zhongjun guessed that it might be the 150 officials he recruited who were eager to make meritorious contributions, and as early as when he was shrinking into the barracks for military training, these officials were wandering around in the five towns, looking like they wanted to sweep away all evil things.

But Zhang Zhongjun himself recruited the leaders of the largest snake ruffians in the five towns into the government service, and they became government officials, and their control over the town was even more open, and the ruffian gangsters who could still dance before had long since shrunk their heads and did not dare to speak.

Therefore, after wandering around several times in this group of officials who were eager for meritorious service, they did not even find the current cases of fighting, brawls and thefts, and even less of the major cases of beating houses and robbing houses.

Similarly, Zhang Zhongjun recruited 150 patrolmen and trained them in the camp to kill the sky, such news has long been known to everyone, and a little brain knows that this patrolman will definitely find a target after becoming an army.

Therefore, in a place where 150 officials and three times the number of white servants patrolled, and there were 150 patrolmen armed to the teeth, waiting to be cut, I really don't know how confused the thieves would remain in the area of the water forest area to beg for a living.

Therefore, Zhang Zhongjun led 150 patrolmen to wander around the mountains and wilderness, and stepped on all the dark and remote places in the entire water and forest area, killing a lot of snakes and insects, but he didn't even see a single thief.

It was really unpleasant to let his 150 trained and screaming patrolmen not be able to see the blood, Zhang Zhongjun was thinking about whether to take them to hang around the entire Heyuan Mansion, anyway, he had the power to take the patrolmen to wander around the entire Heyuan Mansion.

And when he was thinking about whether to start the operation, Liu Jianzhong, who was temporarily in charge of external and internal intelligence because he went to Fucheng to deliver letters, came up with a stack of booklets and said carefully: "My lord, the Huangwu Forest Farm completely refuses to purchase timber, not only our town, but also the timber in the entire Shuilin District cannot be sold, and now the logging farms and forest farms in the five towns of the Shuilin District are a little turbulent, and many lumberjacks have been fired and stayed in the township, and the heads of the towns have sent messages saying that the public security is a little stressed. ”

"Why don't you buy it? Isn't this the best time to sell timber?" Zhang Zhongjun also had read the information, so he asked curiously.

"There is no reason, anyway, the purchasing shops of Huangwu Forest Farm are directly closed, and it is said that Huangwu Forest Farm has also begun to fire lumberjacks, and it is estimated that the government in Shanzhou is now more headache than ours. Liu Jianzhong also said with a puzzled face.

"What's the matter with the Guanguan Mansion? I remember that the Huangwu Forest Farm is the property of the Three Movement Gang, right? They fired the loggers, and the loggers should be troubled by the Three Movement Gang. Zhang Zhongjun asked.

"I don't know what's going on, as early as a few months ago, the Sanyun Gang sold the Huangwu Forest Farm to the government in Shanzhou, so the Huangwu Forest Farm is an official property. Liu Jianzhong said.

"Huh, a few months ago, could it be the time when Fengwutang gave up the water forest area? It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Zhang Zhongjun said as he touched his chin.

"Uh......" Liu Jianzhong hurriedly flipped through the booklet, and said with a surprised face: "It's really such a coincidence! The time for the Three Fortunes Gang to contract their strength is actually the same as the time for Fengwutang to contract their strength!"

"Damn, Fengwutang and the Sanyun Gang actually contracted their strength at the same time, and our Shuilin District was actually an abandoned place, you go and investigate the relationship, and see where Fengwutang and the Sanyun Gang have shrunk their strength!" Zhang Zhongjun waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes!" Liu Jianzhong naturally immediately took the order to retreat.

"Damn, it's no wonder that the officials assigned to the Shuilin District are now halfway through the construction of the district office, and they still use various reasons to die in the county seat and not come out, they must know something. Damn, natives are natives, and the news is definitely not something that can be compared to me. But why didn't these officials in the government remind me?" Zhang Zhongjun touched his chin and thought.
