I'm a scumbag

Chapter 264 Account Issue 【Subscription】

In the end, Ma Cheng followed Wang Lin to the Ministry of War first, and explained to Wang Lin in detail what happened before and after the victory in Baijia City.

Wang Lin's subordinates, the Minister of War, the principal, and other chief officials of the Ministry of War all listened carefully.

Ever since the Huwei Army regrouped, the status of the Ministry of War has really improved day by day.

Especially when Wu Zhao announced that the Huwei army would be dispatched from across the country to take over Wu Yu and Wu Yan's defense in the four northern states.

The prestige and status of the Ministry of War has directly reached a peak.

It's just that the Ministry of War has been abandoned for a long time after all, although it has been re-supported.

But the northern border is different from the inland, and the northern border is facing the kingdom of ten thousand demons.

The defense of the interior is nothing more than banditry.

The two are completely incompatible.

The reason why Wang Lin called Ma Cheng over was mainly because he wanted to hear the details of this great victory.

See if there is merit in this and whether it can be replicated across the four northern states.

After Ma Cheng finished speaking, all the people in the Ministry of War also carefully recorded.

In terms of what Wang Lin heard now.

The success of Baijiacheng is completely impossible to replicate in the same county-level cities.

Not every county has two third-rank towns.

You have to know the three grades of the entire four states in the north, excluding those old antiques of the semi-holy family.

The number of Sanpin affiliated to the government is about 50 people.

This number seems to be a lot, but compared to the hundreds of Sanbie big monsters in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, it is not enough.

Moreover, the fifty third-ranks are scattered, which is not enough for the distribution of the four states in the northern border.

There are a total of 36 prefectures in the four states in the north, and each prefecture has nine prefectures.

Under each prefecture, there are five to ten counties under its jurisdiction.

These fifty third-ranks may not be enough to defend the prefecture, let alone the county.

The other is Ning Chen's plan for the defensive formation of Baijia City.

Not to mention the county towns, even the nine prefectures in the north cannot reach this level of defense.

Not to mention the county seat.

Ordinary county towns, unless they are close to the Wan Yao Kingdom, will arrange some simple and practical defensive formations on the city walls.

Other counties don't even have defensive formations at all.

Defensive formations are not something that can be done just by setting up formations.

This costs money.

And it is not tens of thousands of taels of investment, it is hundreds of thousands of millions of investment.

According to Ma Cheng's introduction, the investment in the formation of Baijia City is definitely at the level of one million taels.

This level of investment, except for the rich and powerful champion uncle, who else can afford such a large amount of investment, and it is still for a county.

Although the above two points are not advisable, Fang Xiong's training of the original warriors in Baijia City and the layout of the battle formation.

These are experiences that can be directly copied and copied.

The formation and training methods of the Red Flame Army cannot be bought with money.

After Ma Cheng told Wang Lin and the others the whole process, Wang Lin sent someone to send Ma Cheng to Wu Zhizao of the Ministry of Industry as agreed.

Before leaving, Wang Lin did some psychological work for Ma Cheng.

Help Wang Lin carefully and sort out his previous relationship with Ning Chen.

And the relationship between Ning Chen and the Ministry of War.

By the way, Ma Cheng is also a member of the Ministry of War now.

In short, it is to let Ma Cheng understand who is the relative.

Because he knew too much about Wufu's situation, Wang Lin explained this to Ma Cheng.

It was really broken and fed to Ma Cheng bit by bit.

I'm afraid Ma Cheng won't be able to understand that detail.

Or misunderstood directly.

Seeing that Ma Cheng has fully understood, and knows, who is the relative.

Only then did Wang Lin feel relieved, and asked Ma Cheng to go to Wu Zhizao's side.

At the same time, he also brought a copy, a gift that Wang Lin wanted to give to Ning Chen.

Knowing that Ma Cheng was going north with Wu Zhizao, Wang Lin was not worried that this gift would be lost.

What Wang Lin gave Ning Chen was actually not an important gift.

It's just two ordinary military towns.

The locations of these two military towns are exactly at the corners of Baijia City.

Together with Baijia City, this place happens to be arranged in the shape of Pin.

This was originally the territory of Wuyu and Wuyan, but now it is because of them.

Therefore, these two military towns were naturally handed over to Wang Lin and their military department.

The manpower of the Tiger Mighty Army has already completed the handover with the border guards.

Each town has [-] soldiers and horses, [-] infantry, and [-] cavalry.

There are 4000 soldiers and horses in the two towns.

Wang Lin gave the soldier symbols of these two military towns to Ning Chen directly.

It's not entirely because of personal friendship, Wang Lin also has his own considerations.

The locations of these two military towns used to be to prevent the Baijia City from being breached.

The Yaozu used Baijia City as a springboard to attack Xuanzhou and Luanzhou, which border on the left and right.

It exists as the gateway of these two states.

But now that Ning Chen is here, Qingshan County has also become a city of hundreds of families.

The functions of these two military towns will naturally change.

From the portal in the past, it has become an important strategic place to protect the security of the two wings of Baijia City.

Since the main function is to protect Baijia City, Wang Lin pushed the boat to Ning Chen, and it was entirely for Ning Chen's consideration.

Of course, there is another consideration, that is, by handing over these two towns to Ning Chen, the Ministry of War can save part of the expenses.

At the same time, he can steal a lot of tactics from the Marquis of Dingguo's Chiyan Army.

Ning Chen's side is safe, and most of the four northern states are stable.

After Ma Cheng came to Wu Zhizao's side, Wu Zhizao naturally welcomed Ma Cheng warmly.

This kind of hospitality made Ma Cheng feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, a martial artist like Ma Cheng is stubborn, and he recognized that these are the honors brought to him by Ning Chen.

So during the whole process, Ma Cheng didn't feel complacent, but felt more and more grateful to Ning Chen in his heart.

Wu Zhizao and the others didn't stay in Fengjing for too long. On the second day, Wu Zhizao led some officials from the Ministry of Industry and followed Ma Cheng directly on the back.

……

Baijiacheng side.

After a baptism of war.

The residents in the city have all seen the safety of their new home.

This makes it even more vigorous to work.

Although no one said it before, the first abandonment of the city still caused a certain psychological shadow on everyone.

No one can guarantee whether they will be flattened after they build their new home.

Now after such a battle, no one is worried about this issue anymore.

Now that he is no longer worried about his home being destroyed again, he naturally works harder.

The sooner you fix your new home, the sooner you can live in a new house.

The enthusiasm in Baijia City naturally attracted the attention of many people around.

For a while, many refugees from the surrounding area flocked to Baijia City.

I hope I can find a job in Baijia City, or find a place to stay.

It was only after they actually entered the city that they realized that it was really not that easy to settle down in Baijia City.

Baijiacheng's restrictions on these outsiders are completely different from what they imagined.

Especially a point system, it is really difficult to achieve.

Such a series of settlement systems are unheard of in other places.

Naturally, it attracted a lot of dissatisfaction and protest.

The first thing these people think of is naturally to go to the county government, find someone who has the final say, and let him come out to judge everyone.

On this issue, Guo Xin had already been instructed by Ning Chen.

On other issues, some compromises can be made.

There will be absolutely no compromise on the settlement system.

"If you feel that such a system is harsh, my Baijia City will definitely not force you to stay. You can leave now on your own."

Guo Xin, who appeared outside the temporary county office, after listening to the demands of these refugees, explained directly and decisively what he wanted to express.

These refugees originally hoped that Guo Xin would turn around a bit.

In the end, I didn't expect that Guo Xin's rejection was more straightforward.

"Even if the name is changed, it's just a broken county. Do you think you are the capital?"

"Even if it is the capital city, I have never heard of it. There are so many restrictions!"

What the refugees below say to me is all an attack on the so-called points settlement policy.

Although the Wu Dynasty had a yellow book system, it was actually not difficult to settle down.

If these refugees can really go to Fengjing, it will not be difficult at all to settle in Fengjing.

Anyway, there is no such thing as social security and school district housing, as long as you can settle in Fengjing and find a job to support yourself.

Then you can proudly say to outsiders that you are from the capital.

On the other hand, it is so complicated and cumbersome for Baijiacheng to settle down.

It's all about keeping people out.

Whether it is in the four states in the north, or in other places in the Wu Dynasty.

People are important productive forces.

There is only one place for someone to develop.

This is the consensus of all.

Especially people like them who can be directly used as labor force and who are in their prime of life.

That is welcome in every city.

Because whether it is farming or construction or even fighting, they can play a huge role.

It was really the first time to be rejected directly.

To be honest, Guo Xin is also a little uncertain about the so-called settlement rules formulated by Ning Chen.

But Guo Xin understood that he only needed to carry out Ning Chen's order.

Ning Chen naturally heard the commotion here.

"What happened to County Magistrate Guo?" Ning Chen came to Guo Xin and asked.

Guo Xin quickly bowed and said: "Uncle Champion, they have some questions about our settlement policy, and the officials are answering them."

Looking at Ning Chen, who was dressed in brocade clothes, and Guo Xin, the county magistrate, he treated Ning Chen with a respectful attitude, and addressed Ning Chen.

These refugees all know that this is the real owner of Baijia City.

So someone boldly asked Ning Chen: "My lord, we voluntarily become citizens under your rule. This will not do any harm to you. Why did you set up so many barriers to stop us?"

"Whoever says that you become the citizens of the city under my rule, there will be no harm."

"We work and fight for your lord, what harm have these done to your lord?" someone asked in confusion.

"Are you doing all this for free?" Ning Chen asked back.

Hearing Ning Chen's question, the person who asked the question suddenly felt that Ning Chen, a noble person, might not be in a good head.

"Of course it won't be free."

Ning Chen said: "That's it. Since I need to find someone to do these things, why don't I find someone with stronger ability to do these things? It's all about spending money. Wouldn't it be great if you can do big things with a small amount of money?"

After hearing Ning Chen's words, the refugees below felt that they were rejected.

"My lord, you have to know that your place is just a county seat. Do you really think that you can attract warriors of rank five or above to join us?" Someone said bluntly.

"You don't need to worry about this issue for me, if you want to stay, you can stay.

If you don't want to stay, leave.

But I want to remind you that the current settlement policy is implemented.

It's not static. When I think there are enough people, the policy will only become stricter.

If you stay now, you may still have the possibility of becoming a resident of my Baijia City.

When you want to come back again, it may be difficult. "

After hearing Ning Chen's words, many people felt that Ning Chen was playing tricks.

It was to deliberately fool them to stay and contribute to Baijiacheng for free.

Because in Ning Chen's points policy, the contribution points to Baijiacheng occupy the majority.

So they decided that Ning Chen was working for Baijiacheng for free just to fool them.

Ning Chen's attitude was already so clear, and immediately most of these refugees left directly.

They can become a labor force wherever they go, so why bother to work for Baijiacheng for free.

Although I have gone a lot, there are still some choices to stay.

The safety of Baijia City has been confirmed through a big battle.

Even the big monster of the third rank died in front of Baijia City.

The security level of Baijiacheng is definitely comparable to that of Fucheng.

But when they went to Fucheng, they had no footsteps, and the second Fucheng was already overcrowded, so it was not so easy to stay there.

Although the conditions for staying in Baijia City are harsh, at least it is better than going to Fucheng.

"Find someone to arrange work for them." Looking at the people who stayed behind, Ning Chen didn't intend to explain anything, but just asked Guo Xin to find someone to arrange for these people.

After Guo Xin responded, he immediately set about arranging for these refugees who were willing to stay.

After his subordinates took these refugees away, Ning Chen looked at the hesitant Guo Xin, and asked directly, "Are you also a little puzzled by my points settlement policy?"

Guo Xin quickly bowed and said, "I am really puzzled. But I believe that Uncle Champion must have his own considerations."

"Stop talking about these unnutritious flattery words in the future. Just taking advantage of this incident, I will tell you everything except points. Come with me."

"Yes!"

After Guo Xin agreed, he followed Ning Chen and came to Ning Chen's big tent step by step.

Ning Chen handed over to Guo Xin the benefits he had written about becoming a city resident over the past few days.

Guo Xin still needs to implement these things.

Guo Xin took the charter written by Ning Chen, and after reading it carefully, his face was filled with shock again.

Ning Chen's resident benefits are really good.

Especially the pension, which solves the worries of most people.

Then there is the medical insurance proposed by Ning Chen, and some other terms that Guo Xin has never heard of.

Guo Xin has no idea what kind of talent Ning Chen is, to have such a genius idea.

"What do you think?" Ning Chen asked Guo Xin.
