Chapter IX: Occupation

The old man thought for a while, then set off behind Xingchen, beat his chest with his right hand, and bowed respectfully, "Uncle Han, the former mayor of Toubao Town, meet Lord Luo." ”

Xingchen turned around and smiled slightly, "Uncle Han, are you the eldest in the family?"

The old man said respectfully: "Yes." I am willing to submit to you on behalf of the entire Forefront. ”

Xingchen looked at the old man and said with a smile: "Since it is a surrender, then I will immediately announce that the former mayor of the former head fort and the main officer of the garrison will be demoted to a deputy, and I will send someone to appoint a formal mayor and other positions." You're okay with that!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jane, who was familiar with the blue light shield, and then looked at the Black Tiger King, and then said respectfully: "No opinion at all." Deputy Mayor Han Bo obeyed. ”

Xingchen then looked at Jane and asked, "Niece, are you interested in the position of mayor of the town?"

Jian Zheng was on the rise, and replied casually: "Not at all." ”

Xingchen nodded, "Alright then, from today onwards, you are the former mayor of Toubao. ”

Hearing this, Jane was visibly stunned, "Ah! I didn't want to." ”

Xingchen casually threw out a box, the box fell to the ground, automatically dismantled a large number of planks in the city, and quickly combined into a tent, "This is a machine tent, a necessary thing for field training, although it is only the third generation, it also has a lot of functions, and it can automatically detect the surrounding 100 meters after it is erected, and has a certain amount of defense." Niece. Do you want it?"

Jane stepped forward to touch the tent and praised: "It is indeed very strong, with it, even in the wilderness, you can rest at ease, and you have a chance to fight back when you encounter danger." Of course I want to. ”

Xingchen nodded, "Okay, from now on, you are the former mayor of Toubao, remember to send someone to report to your eldest brother." ”

Jane looked stunned, "Ah, I just want this trap tent." After she finished speaking, she turned around and found that Xingchen had left under the guidance of the deputy mayor Han Bo, and she wanted to follow up to explain, but she was reluctant to set up a tent, so she could only stay in the square.

On the other side, Xingchen looked at the road ahead and said in a serious tone, "Uncle Han, I need you to cooperate with my subordinates to completely control the front fort, and the control period is seven days, and within these seven days, all cooperation with Xiang Shao will be lifted." Can you do it?"

Han Bo nodded, "The subordinates must do their best." ”

Xingchen turned his head and glanced at Uncle Han, "Xiang Shao will soon find out what happened here, and when he sends someone to put pressure, will you be a wall grass, after all, you can easily be loyal to me." ”

Hearing this, Han Bo trembled, and quickly explained: "I don't dare, but I said that I have no selfish intentions, and you definitely don't believe it." It is true that I am for the sake of the family behind me, and for my own power, but you can bring me honor, which is something I have never received in my life. Over the years of cooperation with Xiang Shao, there has been no change in the front fort, and any excess profits will be withdrawn by Xiang Shao. But you are different, I see hope in you, those strange magic weapons, and unknown pills can completely change the pattern of the front fortress and become the advantage of the front fortress. With you, we are bound to become the most powerful town in the territory of Raksha, and my name will be a great addition to the genealogy. ”

Xingchen smiled slightly and said appreciatively, "I appreciate your idea. But I won't trust you completely. After seven days, you will choose thirty real names in the town, and I will choose seven of them and teach them how to make a machine tent in different processes. Of course, you can also recommend yourself. The trap tent will be the first product to be launched in Qiantoubao. ”

Han Bo suddenly became excited, "We will always be loyal to you, Lord Luo. ”

Xingchen shook his head slightly, "It's not me who you want to be loyal to, but my eldest brother, your city lord." The core component of the Trap Tent is only kept in the Castle Lord's Mansion. ”

Han Bo was not disappointed, he could not have asked Xingchen to fully believe him in the first place. At the same time, he discovered one thing, Lord Luo in front of him, and the city lord Sha, the names of the two together, it was actually the name of Luo Sha City. Thinking of this, he already understood the current situation, the forces of the Luo Sha City City Lord's Mansion began to start a formal battle with Xiang Shao, this will be a war without gunpowder, and at the same time, it is also an opportunity. Thinking of this, Han Bo beat his chest with his right hand, "Our front fortress will always be loyal to the City Lord's Mansion and the City Lord." Seven days later, Qiantoubao had nothing to do with Xiang Shao. ”

Xingchen didn't answer, looking at the two bright moons in the starry sky, one purple and one blue, it seemed that there was blood dyeing them red.

Seven days of time slowly flowing, the front fort lingered in a breath of slaughter, the accounts and contracts of each shop were strictly liquidated, because to break the contract with Xiang Shao, in order to bear the liquidated damages, many shops directly lost profits ranging from one year to ten years, for a time many shop owners complained, but no one dared to show it, because more than a dozen shops belonging to Xiang Shao's name were directly forced to close down for various reasons, or even closed down.

Some shop owners began to secretly incite ordinary townspeople to protest, but Han Bo, who was demoted to deputy mayor, personally intervened to suppress it, and even announced more than a dozen business treaties.

There were two main things that attracted the attention of the townspeople, the first of which was the formation of a trade union, whose members could only be made up of ordinary laborers.

The second thing is to promote the four-hour working week in most occupations, and list them in detail, and any overtime work needs to be reported to the union.

As soon as the treaty came out, ordinary people simply stopped protesting, but only stopped. Any new treaty will only be known after the confrontation between the upper echelons and whether it will be implemented, and they will wait and see the final result.

Then, the shopkeepers' side was defeated, and the deputy mayor proposed that a number of skilled laborers become members of the union, and the new work system was strictly enforced.

In this regard, the owner of the shop dared not speak out.

At the end of the seven-day period, the deputy mayor took the lead in setting up the Holy Wind Weapons Shop, specializing in the production of sales agency tents, and cooperated with a number of shops, which alleviated a lot of resentment.

One evening for half a month, the owner of a restaurant looked at the full number of guests in the restaurant, but he was full of sorrow, and said to himself: "Although there are many more guests, I still can't make up for the loss of terminating the contract with Lord Xiang. ”

This is a sturdy young man running over, although the young man has an ugly face, but he is very energetic, "Father, can you give me a hundred high-grade spirit stones, I want to buy a treasure to play with." ”

The boss's beard shook with anger, "Get out." You loser, you don't have any spirit stones for you to squander now. ”

The sturdy young man was puzzled, "But aren't there a lot of spirit stones on the books?"

The boss directly slammed the table, "There's a fart, as soon as Lord Xiang's people arrive, the tavern will go out of business." Look at me, what kind of worry has become, you still have the heart to play. ”

The sturdy young man hurriedly took a few steps back, "Lord Xiang's people, they came five days ago, and they were detained and imprisoned by the new team. ”

The boss stood up, "What did you say, how did I not know?"

The sturdy young man smiled, "Father, you also know that I have a good relationship with the mayor of the town, and I am now the grandson of the deputy mayor, and he told me that the person sent by Lord Xiang to deal with the contract was detained and imprisoned as soon as he entered the town." ”

When the boss heard this, his expression was heavy, "The sky is about to change." ”

The sturdy young man looked naughty, "What day is going to change, I just know that we don't have to worry about compensation now, hehe! Father, you can give me spirit stones now! I see that the grandson of the deputy mayor has bought a mechanism tent that can be freely changed and combined, and I want it too." ”

The boss had a rare hint of joy, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Very good, for you, remember, you must have a good relationship with the grandson of the deputy mayor." As he spoke, he took out a delicate cloth bag from his bosom. He now understood that the new Lord Luo was not there to deal with them, the shop owners, but to deal with Lord Xiang. He now has some hopes that Lord Luo can win, and maybe the compensation will not have to be repaid.

In the days that followed, two things happened in the front fort. The first thing is that almost every young man in the town has a machine tent, and because of these young people, everyone knows the ingenuity and practicality of the machine tent, and many elders have also begun to try to buy it for a while; the second thing is that the people sent by Lord Xiang to negotiate liquidated damages have come in three waves, and they have all been detained and detained by the army accepted by Lord Luo.

Many people feel that the storm is coming, and in the territory of Luosha City, no one dares to confront Lord Xiang like this, even the city lord is letting Lord Xiang score three points.

Their feeling was right, there was already a team of three hundred people stationed fifty miles away from the front fort, this team was all dressed in armor, but not like soldiers, its leader reached three meters tall, holding a four-meter-long ice axe, and beside him stood a frost wolf with a body length of ninety meters.

The temperature around the camp is abnormal and the vegetation is frozen because of the boss and the frost wolf.

The leader frowned, and his deep eye sockets seemed to be like an extremely cold cave, "No one has ever dared to confront Xiang Shao like this, send the letter of persuasion to surrender, if you don't surrender for an hour, I will step on the front fort." ”

An emaciated figure in the team rushed out and went straight into the distance.

At the same time, on the other side, Xingchen suddenly summoned Jane, "Go and gather a combat team of three hundred people, remember to call the deputy mayor Han Bo as well." ”

Jane immediately elated, "Great, who are we going to fight?"

Xingchen smiled mysteriously, "Of course, it's to fight the bandit rebels." The key human and physical evidence is on the way, and when the evidence arrives, you can go. ”

Jane nodded, didn't ask any more, and left directly.

A short time later, a group of three hundred men was gathered in the square, one hundred of them were Jane's female soldiers, and the other two hundred were part of the guard army of the front fort. Jane and Humber stood at the front of the line, waiting for orders.

Xingchen sat in front of everyone, as if waiting for something, and in a few moments, an emaciated young man was brought here, his body covered with armor, but not like a regular soldier.

When he stopped, Xingchen asked, "Who is coming, and what is the so-called matter?"

The emaciated young man saw that the situation in front of him was not right, but he was even more afraid of his leader, so he pretended to be calm and shouted, "We are ordered to exterminate the thieves who have taken the front fort. As he spoke, he took out a letter, "This is a letter of persuasion, you surrender quickly, otherwise our brigade will attack directly, level this place, and kill you." ”

Xingchen looked up to the sky and laughed, looking at Uncle Han, "Deputy Mayor of the Town, did you secretly send someone to Luo Sha City to inquire about my identity and tell this messenger who I am?"

Uncle Han shuddered, in order to be more secure, he did secretly send someone to inquire, seeing that Xingchen asked, he could only stand up and introduce loudly: "Lord Luo is the brother of the city lord Lord Sha, and Luo of Luo Sha City is the name of the adult." Lord Luo's current identity is the envoy of the City Lord's Mansion, who inspects various places on behalf of the City Lord, and has the authority of the City Lord. ”

Xingchen then looked at the emaciated young man, "Then who are you?"

Seeing this, the emaciated young man trembled, "We are, the private soldiers of Lord Xiang, the caravan guards. This time it's ......."

Xingchen directly interrupted him, "I'm here to kill my envoy here. According to the laws of the Star Luo Kingdom, declaring war on the army is tantamount to rebellion. A sentence directly buckles a big hat.

"Jane, Uncle Han, the certification and physical evidence are complete, and you can send troops. ”
