The devil is coming

Chapter 47
After coming out of the hall, Zheng Fan went to the signing room and registered with the chief registrar. Since he was here, let's end his vacation. At the very least, he could get a set of armor.
As for the rest, Zheng Fan and his demon kings didn't have any extravagant hopes.
Fortunately, they traveled to this world and came to the Yan State, not the Qian State or the Jin State. Both the Jin State and the Qian State were ruled by literati, especially in the Qian State. The scholar-bureaucrat class controlled and guarded against the warriors to the point where they were almost as strong as the grass and trees. .
Because Emperor Taizu of the Qian Kingdom came to power by bullying the orphans and widowers of the previous dynasty, and Emperor Taizong, the crown prince’s younger brother, also relied on the support of the army to rise to power, he was afraid that others would follow suit and increase the pressure on warriors. Prevent and suppress.
That is to say, in the Yan State, that is, on the northern border of the Yan State, there can still be such a scene of numerous Bingtouwu fortresses. First, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Second, the Yan State's court has low control over the local area. .
That's why Zheng Fan had the possibility and opportunity to slowly farm and train his troops.
In the signing room, Zheng Fan also saw Chief Chen. It was he and a lieutenant colonel who came to the inn to nod their heads.
To be precise, Master Chen was holding a book and nodding people's heads all the way. There was a high probability that someone's head would fall to the ground. The King of Hell's book of life and death might not be as useful as his book.
At present, there are funerals everywhere in Hutou City, and the white sails and yellow paper are endless. It can be said that it was sketched out by Master Chen's "imperial pen". This kind of power of "life and death" is probably even the envy of the Emperor of Yan.
Of course, in fact, I really can’t blame him. Even if I were to blame, he still wouldn’t be at the top of the list.
The first thing to blame is the eldest daughter of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. In order to end the war quickly, she directly used the civilian husband as a bait to seduce the Shatuo cavalry to kill.
Then it was blamed on the damn laborers. Except for A Ming who was lying in the coffin, Fan Li who ran out early, the blind man, Three Inch Nails, and the rest of the "Old Zheng family" who could look like normal people were all dragged away Walk.
This kind of density of recruitment is almost unbelievable in history books, but when the central government's policies changed at the local level, everyone has long been accustomed to it.
In the end, I still have to blame myself. If I had known that this was a decoy plan and told other people in the supply camp in advance, maybe a few more civilians would be able to walk out.
Strange things come and go, but finally it comes back to the problem of the system...
Chief Chen didn't remember Zheng Fan. He was sitting behind his desk, holding a brush in his hand, as if he was writing something.
Oh, by the way, Master Chen is not the real Master. To be precise, he is a minor official under the real Master. However, a businessman like Siniang will definitely call out "Master" when he sees him. Mr. Book.
It's the same as the common people calling any soldier in the puppet army "boss".
The real Registrar's surname was Liu. Zheng Fan didn't know if he was Liu from the Liu family in Beifeng. He was as thin as skin and bones, and his eyes seemed to emit green light in the dark signing room, like a silent tiger. , and the signing room is his cave.
However, being a pheasant captain also has the advantage of being a pheasant captain. No one in the holding room reached out to Zheng Fan, which made the money that Siniang prepared for Zheng Fan when he went out useless.
It’s not that they are as incorruptible as water,
perhaps,
From their point of view, it was already very difficult for Zheng Fan not to ask his grandfather and grandma to hold their thighs and cry for weapons, food and fodder, but they were too lazy to get any benefits out of Zheng Fan.
Chief Secretary Liu stamped Zheng Fan's documents and issued a token. From today on, Zheng Fan has an iron rice bowl and becomes a member of the civil servants in Hutou City.
And I directly entered a leisure position where I only paid money and had nothing to do. It can be said that I really got it right in one step.
"Colonel Zheng, I hope you will be diligent in the king's affairs and live up to His Majesty's high expectations for you, live up to the people's wealth and wealth, and live up to... ah... Ah sneeze..."
Chief Liu sneezed loudly and seemed to have no interest in continuing the formality. He simply waved his hand to signal Zheng Fan to get out.
After Zheng Fan came out of the signing room, he went to the warehouse to collect his armor.
Zheng Fan, the manager of the warehouse, didn't know what level of official he was, but he was particularly enthusiastic towards him. He served tea and water, and even made a hot towel for Zheng Fan to wipe his face.
Zheng Fan was a little flattered at first. This was the first day that the pheasant captain felt the "official power".
However, Zheng Fan soon figured out the connection, and his current enthusiasm was because he was worried that he would have to ask him for something later.
Zheng Fan didn't take it seriously. He had no intention of knocking out anything from Hutou City, so after receiving his armor, he left directly. Instead, he left the person in charge in confusion for a long time. , I just sighed that a second-rate person had come.
Originally, the person in charge thought that if it didn't work out, he would give him some rags to pass on first, but who knew that no one would even mention it.
When Zheng Fan left the county government office with his armor in his arms, he heard the noise coming from the hall.
Everyone is very resistant to the matter of adopting orphans. It doesn't matter if they are young and strong, but they are just babies, and you have to sign a deed when adopting them. They are all orphans, and it is not allowed and inconvenient for you to leave them.
Zheng Fan didn't care about this and didn't bother to join the complaint meeting of his fellow captains.
After leaving the county government office, Liang Cheng, who had been waiting outside, brought the horse over, and the two of them rode back home slowly and leisurely.
…………
"So, is this summons by the county magistrate to solve the problem of orphans?"
The blind man asked Liang Cheng from the north.
"Yes." Liang Cheng responded, "Listen to what the Lord said, he will probably be allocated one or two places. If he signs the contract, he will be our Lord's adopted son. In the Yan Kingdom, the adopted son will be able to share part of the property. Yes. We also need one or two more young masters."
"Haha." Blind Bei sighed. At the same time, he silently took out a cigarette in his hand, turned it upside down in his palm, and poked it.
"Did you get the cigarette out?"
"It's just a cigarette. I rolled it myself. The filter is not ready yet, but I still plan to wait for the master to finish his class and let the master satisfy his craving first."
"Haha, you have your heart too."
"What's this? I want to smoke it myself. How about you, do you want one? Keep smoking the evil spirit of mass graves, be careful, it's not good for your health. Take a cigarette once in a while to relax your lungs."
"Is there still such a reason?"
"I made it up, haha."
"How are you preparing the soap and perfume?"
"The first batch of goods is ready. We can prepare it. We will leave for Tumancheng to find a trading company for distribution in the near future."
"Aren't we responsible for transporting and selling it ourselves?"
"This initial investment is too big. We still need to make a quick buck so that we can start establishing the cavalry as soon as possible, so that our Lord will not be unpopular in the government office with the official position of a pheasant captain. "
"Yeah, but I think our Lord is quite indifferent to this."
"That's because the Lord has confidence in his heart. Who else has a family with tens of millions of assets, and if he goes to work in a company, he won't be too lazy to scheming with his colleagues and playing office politics."
"It seems that is indeed the case."
"By the way, I think we can think about adopting orphans again."
"The quota allocated by the higher authorities should be considered the smallest. The county magistrate should allocate the positions according to the influence and real power of each captain."
"That's not what I meant. It's not that I don't want it, but I think it's too little."
"Too little?"
"Well, just one or two, it's not interesting."
"Then how much do you want?"
Blind Bei put his hand in front of Liang Cheng,
Then slowly clenched his fists tightly,
Road:
"I want it all."
"You must be sick." Liang Cheng was amused by Blind Bei, but it was just a joke. He knew that Blind Bei did not do loss-making business, and everything he did had its purpose.
"This is what I think. Let's take over this group of orphans and free up a house to build an orphanage. Or, we can simply use this as a condition to ask the county magistrate for another piece of land in the city and build an orphanage. .”
"Where are the benefits?" Liang Cheng asked.
"I said, how come you, a zombie, have become so philistine? You just do good deeds and do good deeds. Do you need to talk about any rewards in return?"
"It's not that I, a zombie, have become a philistine, but I don't think you will do good deeds simply for the sake of doing good deeds."
"You have insulted my character."
"I apologize."
"Haha." Blind Bei smiled and said, "I think I have to do something good."
"Is this really all for this?"
"real."
"why?"
A Ming's voice suddenly came out at this moment: "It's probably the sequelae of the 404 incident."
When the blind man heard this, he smiled and said nothing.
Liang Cheng hesitated for a moment and looked at Blind Bei, "Really?"
Blind Bei nodded and said: "You have to be careful. We can't be evil all the time. Sometimes, we have to pretend to be hypocritical."
"This is reality, not a cartoon anymore."
"It's just a different medium." Blind Bei replied.
"If this is the only reason, it's a bit ridiculous." Liang Cheng still didn't believe it.
"Hey, let's put it this way, first of all, this can help us cultivate the next generation of manpower in time, and train the defective products halfway. It is really not as good as cultivating them according to our ideas from the beginning.
Secondly, since Hutou City will be our base in the future, we must manage the image of our Lao Zheng family better. Unlike Zhenbeihou, we need to be different from ourselves. The matter of winning people's hearts has to be done from the beginning. It has to be done. Didn't Liu Bang get his start from a group of people in Peixian County? "
"I can understand it if you explain it this way." Liang Cheng agreed with the proposal.
Although, this proposal will cost a lot of money, and may even affect the cavalry team you want to build.
Blind Bei bit the cigarette in his mouth, stretched out his hand to touch the fire fold, lit the cigarette and said:
"Actually, what A Ming said is right. Sometimes, this person really needs to do something good, otherwise you may be gone one day."
said,
Blind Bei took a puff of cigarette, smoke rings slowly blew out from his nose, turned to look at A Ming, and asked:
"Why did your blackboard come out?"
A Ming shrugged and said: "I'll tell you the good news. The master's talent is indeed good. Now under Ding Hao's guidance, he can preliminarily guide the qi and blood in his body. According to Ding Hao, as long as Take a while to get familiar with it, just like driving a car, drive slowly at first, and when you become proficient, you can increase the speed.
However, Ding Hao does not intend to let the master directly attack the half-step ninth level. This is too eager for quick success. According to him, it is just like running. The rhythm of marathon and sprint is different.
Rushing to hit the ninth level in half a step will disrupt the inherent rhythm. When the time comes to hit the ninth level, it will take more time to reorganize and become familiar with it. Take your time, speed up a little bit, and finally, it will be a matter of course.
The master has memorized the circuit diagram on my body. It is not difficult to memorize. I saw that nothing would happen to me, so I came out. By the way, where is Si Niang? "
"Why are you looking for her?" Blind Bei asked.
A Ming put his hand on his chest with some sadness, bent down slightly, and brought himself closer to the blind man Bei who was smoking.
Word by word,
With a lot of resentment,
Road:
"Ask her to... remove the stitches for me!"
