Panlong Village has two lizheng and ten chiefs.

Both the Rizheng and the chief were served by civilians who had practiced martial arts, and they were exempt from forced labor and taxes, and they could also receive a salary from the lord. But in wartime, they had to do military service and fight with their lords.

Both of them are cultivators of the Bone Forging Realm, and they can serve as regular samurai on the battlefield, which is the same as the disciples of Iwakura Hall who have achieved cultivation.

And the ten Bao Chiefs are only in the Qi cultivation realm, they are the most ordinary martial artists, and they are all old, and it is difficult for them to continue to improve in their cultivation. In wartime, they are the most ordinary miscellaneous soldiers, the so-called cannon fodder.

One of the two is called Hongmeng, and the weapon is a golden list made of brass, calling himself "Hongmeng Golden Bang", and the other is called Qin Yu, making meteor hammers, all of which are Qimen weapons.

Wu Feng secretly slandered.

Qimen weapons are suitable for brawls, but if such a low-level person does not unify his weapons, it is not convenient to practice. The most universal weapons are a broadsword, a spear, and a sword. Swordsmen are good at hand-to-hand combat and have strong flexibility; spearmen are good at opposing cavalry and have high defensive power, and can also be directly organized into lancers; swordsmen are the elite of soldiers, who can serve as junior officers and command operations, and can also form elite squads with great lethality, and carry out assault and other tasks with very high offensive and flexible requirements.

Iwakura Hall does not restrict the choice of weapons of these low-level martial artists, which will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness during combat.

And when the battle starts, a large number of soldiers with strange blades, and the military appearance will definitely not be strict, I am afraid that it will look like a peasant rebel army, where is there a famous family?

If most of them are allowed to change weapons, it will affect their combat effectiveness and coordination because they use blades that are not in their hands.

These two people are not too old, they are in their early twenties, and when they see the new lord coming, they all look very enthusiastic, full of sycophants, of course, they also have sycophancy to Hua Zongdai, but they are not as enthusiastic as they are to Wu Feng.

Of course, Wu Feng could also feel the surprise in their eyes. They really couldn't imagine that the new lord would be a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, and he was not a member of the Deng family, just an alien figure.

The reason why Hong Meng and Qin Yu flattered Wu Feng was determined by the structure of the upper and lower levels in this era.

Originally, if you want to improve your position, you should please your superiors in order to get promoted. It doesn't make much sense to curry favor with your direct superiors.

However, warriors like Hong Meng and Qin Yu, who grew up in the village, belonged to the marginal warriors of the Iwakura Temple, and they didn't have many opportunities to deal with the higher. For them, only when the lord is promoted, they have a chance to rise.

Land is the foundation of power, but it is isolated from the top institutions, which is a great drawback of today's system. The so-called "imperial power does not go to the countryside" is like this.

With the improvement of merit, talented people have more and more territories, and have great control over the territory, and it is easy to turn the monks in the territory into their own personal soldiers. As a result, separatist forces were formed layer by layer, and the ancient family gate lords were also prone to division due to territorial division, resulting in civil strife.

It is precisely because of this that the world has always been so chaotic that it is difficult to find a moment of peace.

But in the same way, ambitious young heroes have the opportunity to seize power and establish their own power. Otherwise, if a person only deals with civilian work all the year round, does not have his own territory, and does not have his own troops, even if he is the best military advisor and has extremely high martial arts cultivation, it is impossible to have much power at all.

Wu Feng understands that such a system is the ladder for his own rise. But if you have the power in your hands, you will definitely reform such a system, in order to end this long-term war!

......

In the next ten days, Wu Feng worked extremely seriously.

He asked a veteran clerk for advice on the specific methods and techniques of cartography, and he devoted himself to studying day and night.

Except for one night when he calculated that Yun Hailan needed his own blood and slipped out of Iwakura Castle to provide her with blood, he spent the rest of the night in the Drawing Pavilion, consulting the classics and materials, and reviewing the sketches made by the clerks.

Next, he left Iwakura Castle with his clerks, bathed in the wind and rain, and ran on the frozen land to conduct field surveys and depictions.

Deng Hengyi, the master of the main pavilion, saw that Wu Feng was so dedicated in such a Qingshui Yamen, and looked at him with strange eyes, as if he thought that Wu Feng was a psychopath.

Wu Feng understands that drawing a map is by no means unimportant and there is not much to do. If you get serious, you won't be able to finish what you have to do.

For war, having accurate military maps cannot be too helpful. The construction of the territory also needs the assistance of the map.

Learning this skill will undoubtedly help Wu Feng realize his lofty ambitions in the future.

In order to get Deng Aihou's further attention, Wu Feng must also work diligently. Deng Aihou values talents, not only the so-called celebrity style, and will not reuse a person who is accustomed to corpse vegetarian meals.

He did not forget to contact the warriors of Panlong Village, and invited them to a few meals in just half a month, and even chatted with the most ordinary villagers and asked about their living conditions.

Wu Feng didn't put on a show, but thought it was meaningful to do so, and he didn't feel bored. An excellent lord needs to understand the people's feelings, but a good lord who has observed the people's feelings is not necessarily an excellent lord, and an excellent lord should solve the practical problems of the people.

Wu Feng has the wealth left by his father and is not short of money at all, but he does not plan to reduce the taxes of the villagers privately.

That's the salary he deserves, and he adjusts the tax rate privately, which is suspected of being a selfish favor, and is easy to be slandered by villains. He prefers to use the money he has to help some villagers who are really in need, and lead his own people to carry out construction that can expand their income.

Instead of throttling, it is better to open source.

Soon, Wu Feng's excellent performance reached Deng Aihou's ears.

Deng Aihou ordered Hua Zongdai to summon Wu Feng to the main attic where he lived.

The main attic is made of stone, integrated with the thick city walls, rather than built in a small space between the walls, so the interior is not small, and there is a garden in the patio.

Deng Aihou's wife, children, servants, and personal guards all lived in this huge stone attic. But Deng Aihou's father, Deng Rong, was not here, but in the city on the other side of the hillside.

According to the rules of the Iwakura Palace, the reclusive hall master could not continue to live in the main castle, so as not to give different orders. But at the same time, it also enables the reclusive head of the family to still have his own group of people and have a certain amount of power.

This kind of contradictory rules reflects the distrust between relatives in famous families.
