Chapter 54: The Current Situation of Great Qin (I)
Shen Yuxia said with a smile: "Hehe, there are a lot of fools who don't want to be the sergeant of Zhichong Mansion, because once you enter Zhichong Mansion, then you can only climb in the Zhichong Mansion system, and the highest is only the official position on the fourth grade." Moreover, money, food, equipment and everything have to rely on the self-sufficiency of the Zhechong government, and the imperial court will not allocate a copper plate at all, but the imperial court controlled by the eunuch party will be suppressed everywhere. ”
"If there is no war in the defense area, he may be a big soldier in agriculture for the rest of his life, unlike the guards who can look for fighters all over the country to get a promotion for military exploits. Of course, if you have enough power, you may be transferred from the Ochichong Prefecture to the internal officials, but this is very difficult, after all, the relationship between the Ojichong Prefecture and the local government is not good. Do you still choose Zhechong Mansion like this?" asked Shen Yuxia. She didn't say anything about the town office, because as long as the county order is replaced, the director of the town office will be replaced.
"It's a bit boring, but it doesn't matter if you don't stay away from your sister and boss, and it's good to stay near your home and work as a soldier. Shen Fei said with a grin. He didn't believe that he could farm, didn't he say that he would be the captain of the army as soon as the Zhan Wu Academy came out? When the time comes, find a few thieves to kill them, and then talk to the boss, you can definitely climb up!
And compared to running around the country and fighting everywhere, it's better to stay by my sister's side. I haven't seen my sister for two months, and I miss it so much, I can't wait to be by my sister's side all the time, if I become a guard, wouldn't it take a year and a half to see my sister once?
So as long as you can climb up to become a big official in Zhechong Mansion, it is better to enlist in your hometown. It can not only help the boss control the territory, but also see his sister from time to time, what a perfect choice.
Shen Fei is very confident in his own strength, now that he is only a first-level warrior, he can kill a strong person of the individual rank, and he will not be even more powerful in the future!
As for the official position on the fourth grade, think about Sister Zhang and Brother Zhang's father, a dignified Huyun County Order is the official position from the seventh grade. Shen Fei felt that the official position on the fourth rank was so far away from him, and he didn't know if he could climb up to the road for the rest of his life, so he didn't think about these at all.
"Hey. Xiaofei, my sister and father can't accompany you for a lifetime, and the boy is ambitious...... Never mind. If you want to be a sergeant in the Ochichong Mansion, be a sergeant in the Ojichong Mansion, at least it is very stable. Shen Yuxia originally wanted to say something, but she didn't know what Lu Dao thought, so she changed her tone and agreed with Shen Fei's choice.
Originally, Shen Yuxia saw that Shen Fei had a tendency to be an official, so she reminded him to join the guards, but when she saw that Shen Fei was in love with her family, she dispelled her thoughts. For Shen Yuxia, it's good if Shen Fei likes it, but it doesn't matter if the result is good or not.
Shen Fei, who hadn't thought about it so much, nodded and looked at the surrounding scenery happily, while Shen Yuxia spurred the horse to gallop while protecting Shen Fei. He looked down at Shen Fei's carefree expression. Shen Yuxia couldn't help but smile and thought in her heart: "Forget it, why care if the little brother will have a future? Since this is his wish, then let him be a sergeant of the Zhichong Mansion, get married and have children in peace, and spend his life so peacefully." ”
※※※
The atmosphere on Shen Fei's side was relaxed. But the atmosphere on Zhang Junyao's side was a little dull.
Zhang Junyao and Chen Zhong silently stared at the corpses of the four thieves who had just breathed, although they all knew that they were not thieves, but as long as they destroyed the waist card of the Thirteen Yamen, who knew that they were from the government?
Neither of them said a word, silently pondering the news they had received from the thief. After a while, Zhang Junyao smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect the eunuchs to get such news." It was actually determined that there would be a large vitality nest in Huyun County. I believe that Lord Chen also got such news, so he would deign to be the public security inspection under the nine products, right?"...,
Chen Zhong also shook his head bitterly: "The news I got is that there will be a small vitality nest in Huyun County, if Zhilu Dao is a large vitality nest, I will not come, and General Zhang will not fight this idea." ”
"Are you telling this news to be true?" asked Zhang Junyao with some uncertainty.
"It's very likely to be true, after all, now the eunuch party almost controls the whole country, and they are full of legitimacy in controlling the imperial capital and the emperor, and they can definitely attract a group of strange people to be loyal. If the news cannot be confirmed, the eunuchs who are fighting cruelly among themselves for money and power will not send people to such a remote and impoverished county as Huyun County to investigate. Sending people from the Thirteen Yamen to make money is the favorite of the eunuchs, where are they willing to waste it on our poor country?" Chen Zhong said helplessly.
"yes. Zhang Junyao nodded with emotion, and then shook his head in distress: "Large vitality nests, they are actually large vitality nests! Micro nests affect a radius of one kilometer, small nests multiply fivefold, affect a radius of five kilometers, medium-sized nests multiply again, affect a radius of twenty-five kilometers, large nests multiply again, a radius of one hundred and twenty-five kilometers! Damn, most of Yunshan County will be the area covered by the eruption of large nests, and Huyun County may be directly in the center of the nest!" Once this large nest appears, the entire Huyun County will be completely finished. ”
Chen Zhong also nodded as if he was about to ooze bitter water on his face: "How many years has Great Qin not heard of the eruption of a large vitality nest, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to encounter it." I hope this large nest is still a water nest, if it is another kind of vitality nest, not to mention that the entire Yunshan County will be destroyed, I am afraid that most of Nanshan Prefecture will also become a ruin. ”
"Hey, Zhilu said such a thing, no matter how many miniature water system vitality gems you get, you can't feel happy. Zhang Junyao said with emotion. When Chen Zhong heard this, he turned his head and found that the leeches in front of him had disappeared, and when he saw that Zhang Junyao's subordinates directly filled five or six bags of live leeches in leather bags, he couldn't help but have some red eyes. It was only when he saw that his subordinates also got two bags of living leeches that he suppressed his jealousy.
Chen Zhongzhi said, Yuan Qi monsters are the strangest species in heaven and earth, as long as no one disturbs them, it won't take long for these monsters to die automatically, and they won't exist for a long time to cause trouble in the world. Calculate the time. The leeches out of sight should have died automatically.
And after these leeches die, they either condense the vitality gem, or they dissolve into vitality and dissipate in the heavens and the earth. Thinking of this, Chen Zhong couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, most of the condensed Yuan Qi gems were inferior and waste, and occasionally there was a medium-grade and high-grade. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it's not worth wasting time on these few miniature vitality gems.
Seeing that Zhang Junyao's side had been hung on the horse's back in the leather bag, Chen Zhong couldn't help but blush the heart core in Zhang Junyao's pocket again. With that heart nucleus. You can manufacture medium-grade gems in batches, and if you are lucky, you can even make high-grade gems! It is definitely more expensive than your own side to condense leeches through various drugs, which is easy and trouble-free, and I don't know how many times cheaper!
However, when I thought that a large nest would actually erupt in Huyun County in the near future. Chen Zhong also put down his scheming for the time being, and said: "Zhang Gongzi, this matter must be reported to my general as soon as possible, please forgive me, we will say goodbye." ”
"You're welcome. Zhang Junyao was not in a good mood, and bowed with a heavy expression.
"See you again. Chen Zhong didn't care. Zhang Gongzi's father is the order of Huyun County, and there is a large nest in Huyun County, so it is strange that he can be happy, so after saying goodbye, he rode his horse and left quickly with a few personal guards. ...,
Zhang Junyao and his entourage. After packing up his things, he even went to the location of the vitality nest to check the deep well dug by Shen Fei, and filled the dry well after the last time, and then rode his horse to the county seat.
On the way back, a step archer asked Zhang Junyao, "Lord." A large nest has erupted in Huyun County, are we going to evacuate all the manpower out of Huyun County?"
"Evacuate? Why should we mobilize the people lurking in the nearby counties!" Zhang Junyao did not have the sad face he had just now, but exuded a happy expression.
"Uh? The family members who surrounded Zhang Junyao all pricked up their ears.
Zhang Junyao tugged on the reins of his mount slightly, and said with a smile: "Don't you understand, although the power of the large-scale nest eruption is very amazing, but the two consecutive Yuan Qi nests in this Huyun County are all water-based, and there are such signs." Ninety percent of this large vitality nest is water-based, and I believe that Chen Zhong's guy must have thought so. Look, it won't be long before Zhang Sen's guy will definitely send An Ningwei to Huyun County for the sake of training. ”
The reason why he knew that the large lair of the Dao Dao was going to erupt in Huyun County in the near future was because his knowledge of the Dao made him dare to be sure that it would definitely be the nest of the water system that would erupt in the future. Because a miniature vitality nest of the same attribute has erupted in one place in a row, the higher-level vitality nest that erupts later must have the same attribute as the previous vitality nest.
However, the water-based vitality nest is the least harmful of the five-system vitality nest when it erupts, because the monsters that erupt in the water-based nest either have the ability to spray water and attack, or they have the ability to create ice. These two abilities are really the same as none compared to the harm caused by the four types of monsters of gold, wood, fire, and earth. If Huyun County broke out in the future was a large-scale fire nest, Zhang Junyao would definitely not say a word, and went back directly to tie up his father, who was the county commander, and then quickly fled thousands of miles away with all his manpower.
"Are they ready to take credit for the destruction of large lairs?" asked the human-rank archer.
"A single Anning guard can't do this, and the only reason they came here was to try to kill and capture the vitality monsters that spewed out from the large lair. Zhang Junyao said.
"For the Vitality Gem?" another human-level archer also asked out loud, but quickly shook his head: "Although the large-scale Yuanqi nest has not appeared in Great Qin for many years, the power of the Yuanqi monsters erupting from the large-scale nest has long been recorded, and the lowest-level monsters are all human-level first-level strength! The highest level has reached the ninth level of the human rank. Zhang Sen's Anning Wei has a few human-level powerhouses, wouldn't it be a death to send some warrior-level people here?"
Hearing the words of his subordinates, Zhang Junyao couldn't help but smile and said: "Hehe, I believe they all know this truth, but who made the vitality gems carried by the monsters that erupted from the large nests too tempting! The monsters of the small nests are not like the monsters of the miniature nests, there is only liquid in the body, and they must be refined by various methods to obtain the gems." Monsters above the small nest can have gems condensed in their bodies, and you can get gems by killing them. ”
"And most importantly, the gems of the big lair. Even if the scrap products are all ten gold pieces, the lower grade is a thousand gold, the middle grade is thousands of gold, and the top grade is as high as 10,000 gold pieces! Zhang Sen and the others don't have to force how many pieces they can get, as long as they get two high-grade pieces, even if all the soldiers of the whole guard are dead, he can quickly rebuild three or four of the same Anning Guards! Tell me about it. Since the benefits are so huge, is it possible for them to give up for fear of death?" Zhang Junyao said with some emotion.
The four human-level archers didn't react when they heard this, but the eyes of those few family members were glowing golden. Wow! A high-quality gem from a large lair is worth 10,000 gold? It's too expensive, isn't it? But with this thought, these family members immediately returned to normal, didn't they hear the lord just say that the lowest level monsters are all human level strength? ...,
"Lord. This news was learned by the eunuch side first, in addition to the vanguard spies like the Thirteen Yamen, it is estimated that there will be an influx of masters behind. And once this news leaks out, not to mention that the strong people from all over the country will flock here, even the strong people from the surrounding countries will also flock here! After all, large nests have not appeared for a long time, and all sides are in desperate need of large nest-level gems. The first-rank archer said with a serious expression.
"They're coming, and we didn't have the luxury of getting a lot of big nest gems anyway. Our goal is to be able to obtain a large Lair Vitality Gem while preserving ourselves, and we will determine it depending on the situation at the time when we get our hands on it. Zhang Junyao smiled disappreciatively.
Hear this. All his subordinates, including the four human-rank archers, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Those of them who are subordinates are most afraid of the unrealistic tasks assigned by the above, and now that the Lord has decided to do so, it makes it much easier for them to be subordinates. At the very least, get a large Vitality Lair Gem. Although I don't know what kind of monster will appear when Lu Dao arrives, not to mention the manpower transferred from other places, how can I complete this task with just my four human-level archers.
"Well, go back and don't talk nonsense, whether it's true or not. Once it is leaked to the public, it will be a troublesome matter. Zhang Junyao directly issued a gag order.
"Yes! Lord, be of good cheer. The crowd immediately took the command.
"Very good, everyone will work hard and get the benefits, but everyone will have a share. Zhang Junyao nodded, and took the lead in galloping, and the others immediately followed quickly.
※※※
The mount carrying Shen Yuxia and Shen Fei appeared on the outskirts of Tiger Nest Town, at this moment, Shen Fei's face had been wiped clean by his sister in addition to his clothes still being tattered, so the guards guarding the gate of the town immediately shouted when they saw it: "Young Master Shen Fei is back!" while turning around and running towards the town.
Shen Fei had already seen the two blue light guards guarding the gate of the town from the map, so when he heard the shouts of this guard, he looked up at his sister very proudly and said, "Sister, I didn't expect that I was so majestic in Tiger Nest Town, and the brothers in our gang actually immediately notified the people in the town, which is really enthusiastic." ”
However, before he finished speaking, Shen Fei immediately frowned: "Huh, sister, didn't the people of our Huwei Gang collect the town fee in the past, how can it be replaced by the people of the official family?" Although the two guards were dressed in the black short clothes of gang members, they were grinning with spears and big knives, no matter how you look at them, they are all government officials. But how could this official come to Huwo Town to collect the town tax?
"Stinky boy, have you forgotten that you are the director of the Huwo Town Town Office, and your father is the deputy director? Your town office is open-minded and has twenty Ding Zhuang who can carry arms, and it belongs to the number one force in the town, not the town Ding collects money, do you still let the rudder collect the money?" Shen Yuxia patted Shen Fei's head and said.
"Huh?" Shen Fei was stunned for a moment, then his eyes glowed hot, and he asked in surprise: "Sister, you mean that I have twenty subordinates who can carry weapons?"
"That's right, who let you have a good relationship with the county lord's young lady, and actually made an exception to allow you to have twenty armed forces. If the other towns have any growth, they will be jealous of you. Shen Yuxia said with a smile.
"Hehe, the town offices in other towns have been destroyed by the local gang gentry, and there are no other directors in the county except for me, the ten-year-old director, so no one will be jealous at all. Shen Fei smiled proudly, but doubts appeared again: "It's just sister, since they are my subordinates, why do they call me young master? instead of calling me lord?"
"You still want to be an adult! Wait until you're a few years older, and now they only call Daddy an adult. Shen Yuxia said angrily.
Shen Fei couldn't help but mutter: "Hmph, I still want my father, the deputy director, to salute me, the director, but I didn't expect the boss to put me in the air." ”
Shen Yuxia ignored Shen Fei's words, because the shouts of the guards caused the people in the town to rush over, she immediately hugged Shen Fei and dismounted, and admonished: "Xiaofei, get off the horse, everyone has come to see you, don't be proud because you are an official, you have to be more friendly and polite to greet and respond to the people in the town." Remember to be sweeter!
"I'm not going to be proud. Shen Fei pouted, then grinned and waved at the townspeople who poured out of the town, and greeted those playmates of the same age who were running over quickly. Shen Fei was naturally happy, not only because these were his childhood friends and neighbors, but also because he didn't find a red point of light on the map, and the people present were either blue or white, and occasionally a few yellow, just look at the jealous looks on people's faces, and know what would be a yellow point of light that represents disgust.
"Brother Fei, you're back, wow, Brother Fei still messed up his clothes as before, you will definitely spank your sister!" The first thing the child said when they met was this, which made Shen Fei's forehead immediately full of black lines, and then made Shen Fei dizzy:
"Brother Fei, is the county town fun?
"Brother Fei, is there anything delicious in the county?"
"Brother Fei, you are so powerful!
"Brother Fei, Miss Gongzi of the county lord's family has a good relationship with you, is this true?"
"Brother Fei, they all said that you live in the county office, what is the county government like, how big is it, how beautiful is it? Tell us about it!"
"Brother Fei, did you bring us any gifts?"
The child's series of questions directly made Shen Fei dizzy, and he didn't know which question to answer first. And then those aunts and idlers chattered desperately to praise Shen Fei, who became a member of the government at a young age, and even bombarded Shen Fei so much that he could only learn to look like an adult and constantly thanked and thanked him.
As for why Shen Fei came back dressed in tatters? The people in the town who watched Shen Fei grow up didn't think about this issue at all. Because Shen Fei, this guy, after he could run and jump and dared to go out of town to play, there was hardly a day when he didn't come back dirty and tattered, and then ran all over the street with a whip for Shen Yuxia. If Shen Fei came back in a glamorous manner, they would be surprised.
Originally, Shen Fei wanted to go home with a polite gesture, but he didn't expect that the people in the town surrounded him, and it was difficult to move an inch at all, let alone go home.
After being surrounded for a while, Shen Fei's hair was messy, and his already tattered clothes were even more tattered. Because those big girls and aunts, including their own children, would reach out and touch them everywhere, which made Shen Fei sweat profusely. I wanted to ask my sister for help, but Shen Yuxia, who knew that there would be such a situation in the Dao, had long been hiding away with her horse, and was covering her mouth and snickering outside at the moment.
When Shen Fei was being confused about how to get out, a series of shouts rang out: "Let go, hurry up and let go! Don't get in the way of Lord Shen!" With the sound, the enthusiastic crowd parted left and right like a tide, and a group of black-clothed strong men with knives and guns and bows and arrows on their backs walked in to escort a middle-aged man wearing a foreign costume.
Don't think about it, this is Shen Fei's father-Shen Haofeng. Shen Haofeng couldn't help frowning when he saw Shen Fei's embarrassed appearance, but he didn't say anything when he thought of something.
Shen Fei, who saw the savior, immediately shouted in surprise: "Boss......" was thundered by Shen Haofeng's dress just after shouting: "Uh, boss, why are you dressed like this?" No wonder Shen Fei was dumbfounded, because anyone who saw a middle-aged bandit with extremely strong muscles all over his body and a fierce look on his face was actually wearing the clothes of a foreign master, and as soon as the extreme contrast came out, people who saw it for the first time couldn't help but be stunned. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
