The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 240 [Convenience Supermarket]
Due to the plunder of the five thieves, over time, rumors gradually began to circulate in [Ironforge Castle] that the soldiers were incompetent. There were hundreds of thousands of troops, but even a few bearded thieves couldn't catch them.

On the contrary, the [Enemy Fortress] built in various places has made great achievements frequently. Even if the [Council Defense and Security Defense Camp] with a small number of people cannot beat the bearded bandits, at least they can warn in advance, which is better than those who follow the bearded bandits and eat ashes. Guards are much stronger.

Rong Wei wanted to catch these bearded thieves, but the problem is that these bearded thieves are too sneaky, they seem to be able to fly into the sky and escape from the ground, and they can always escape before the exhausted guards arrive, and the exhausted guards I can only watch the warning smoke from [Fortress of Defense] gradually spread to the distance one by one.

Those who knew that the wolf smoke was to guide the guards, but those who didn't know thought it was a tip-off to the bearded thieves. Otherwise, no matter how hard Mao Weijun chased him, he couldn't even see his shadow?
At this moment, no matter how stupid Rong Wei is, he still knows that there is a ghost in it, but does Guyi care?Neither Baozheng nor he has any psychological pressure to ruin Rong Wei's reputation. As long as Rong Wei can't grasp the handle of the beard thief, Rong Wei can only blow his beard and stare angrily, but there is nothing he can do.

The most important function of [Fortress against enemies] is not just to defend against enemies, they also serve as [Tiangong Chain Convenience Supermarket], which is subordinate to [Tiangong Group] and operated by [Guan's Sales Company]. With the establishment of [Fortress against the Enemy] in various places, branches of [Convenience Supermarket] at all levels have also opened all over the entire territory of [Ironforge]!

People [Tiangong Group] have invested so much, they have to find a way to get back the investment, right?Only relying on the worthless resource points mortgaged by the town lords in various places, can the investment of [Fortress against the Enemy] be repaid in a year of the monkey?
This kind of [Convenience Supermarket], which sells everything and is not surprising, has a wide range of products, which greatly enriches the daily necessities of the common people everywhere, so that the common people can buy their own goods at their doorstep without having to travel far to go to the market. The things needed can really be regarded as "convenience".

People [Tiangong Group] helped you build defenses, and also tried to improve the lives of the people under your rule. As a town lord, you are always embarrassed to collect taxes from others, right?Besides, he still owes [Tiangong Group] a large investment loan.

And without anyone realizing it, this kind of [Convenience Supermarket] throughout the entire territory of [Ironforge] not only brings convenience to people, but also quietly spreads a kind of culture called "Tiangong Culture". Gradually spread out and began to invade local customs and culture.

The most obvious thing is that the convenient "Tiangong clothing" worn by the employees of [Tiangong Group] has gradually become a trend, and various ready-made clothes with novel styles and cheap prices have gradually been accepted by people. Slowly replaced the original cumbersome gown with wide breasts and sleeves in Dahuang native land.

And another product of "Tiangong Culture" has gradually begun to invade various places, that is, the currency called "Gong Yuan".

Because [Convenience Supermarket] not only sells a variety of commodities, but also purchases various local specialties. After common people from all over the country sell their own products to [Convenience Supermarket], they will be paid the corresponding RMB. The small round coins are much more convenient to use than the heavy big gold cakes and small gold cakes.

Although a big gold cake can only be exchanged for [-] cents of RMB, if it is exchanged, [-] cents of RMB can buy rare goods worth a big gold cake in [Convenience Supermarket], as small as Needle and thread brain, as big as household utensils, accurate to a few cents, very convenient.

It’s not like buying things with big golden cakes in the past. If you want to buy a crock, a big golden cake can bring back a bag of millet and a few pieces of bacon, or you can simply buy a carload of crock pots with a big golden cake Go back and use it until you die.

And if you save a lot of this kind of RMB, if you hide it at home and be stolen by a thief, you can still deposit it in the [Industrial and Commercial Bank] inside the [Convenience Supermarket], and exchange it for a small book called a passbook, which you can take out whenever you need it. .

What makes town owners and wealthy households most happy is that with the part-time [Industrial and Commercial Bank of China] of [Convenience Supermarket], they don't have to drag a cart of gold cakes when they go out. Enter the [Industrial and Commercial Bank of China] in the [Fortress of Defense], and then take a passbook and go wherever you like.

You don't have to worry about being robbed on the road, and you don't need to bring so many guards, but wherever there is a [Fortress against the Enemy], you can take out big gold or RMB at any time, not to mention how convenient it is.

It may be that the place where there is a [Council Defense Security Defense Fortress] is too difficult to mix. The whereabouts of the bearded thieves gradually began to shift to the territory of those local clans and clans. up.

After all, the relationship between the local [clan] and [Rong clan] and [gentry clan] is not good. Even Rong Wei and Baozheng don't bother to take care of these local tyrants who always push back and forth when paying food and taxes. They have their own private soldiers. Officials don't need to worry about it.

It may be because of the official indulgence that the bearded thieves are rampant on the [clan] territory. Anyway, Rong Wei has been too busy to deal with foreign enemies. How can I care about these local tyrants, and the [Fortress of Defense against the Enemy] ] And they only care about the local security and defense, as long as they don't step into their warning range, no one will pay attention to them at all.

In this way, even if the local clan is in trouble, a small amount of robbing every day, a large amount of robbing every three days, three meals a day according to the order of meals, and one time in the middle of the night to wake you up to pee, and you can’t sleep anymore. The land can't be planted anymore, and the door can't get out. Who can bear this shit?
The most irritating thing is that this gang of beards robs everything, they don’t dislike anything, they grab whatever they catch, there is really nothing to rob, even the firewood in the yard, and it’s not fun after robbing, tearing down the house, piece by piece Pull down the bricks, the bricks are gone, and before you leave, I will set a fire for you, and the burnt ones will be clean and fragmented. If you don’t use a broom, you can’t even pick up the slag!

It's okay to rob things, these beards who commit all kinds of evil are still robbing people!

No matter men, women, old or young, they like them all. At the beginning, they just lost some girls, and gradually even the elders began to be lost. One "accidentally" came back, and the one who cried while clutching his butt made the one who heard it sad. Those who see it weep!

In such a situation where one family loses a father today, and another family loses a grandfather tomorrow, it’s not that no one wants to learn from others’ [Union Defense Security Defense Fortress] joint protection to save themselves. A Capricorn guard?
But the problem is that small clans don't have that prestige, so they can't be called upon at all. Local [clans] care about their own families. On weekdays, clans fight each other for fields, land, and water sources. It's all feud.

Usually, old and dead don't interact with each other, how can those who sweep the snow in front of their doors have the time to care about other people's lives and lives, even if the houses of the neighbors are burned to the top, as long as the beard can't steal from your own door, you will die?
But the big clans that have the prestige to gather all the clans have nothing to do with them. Anyway, they have a lot of wealthy and powerful private soldiers, and the beards don't dare to provoke them. Occupying the fields and houses of the family, there is no need for excuses.

Some smaller clans quickly collapsed. After seeking help from the big clans to no avail, they had to ask Lord Baozheng of [Ironforge] for help. The crying father and mother shouted that they must pay taxes according to the regulations in the future, and never hide their arrears .

I just ask Mr. Baozheng to send troops to wipe out the bearded bandits in the troubled village, and at worst, ask the personal guards to help them build a [Council Defense Security Defense Fortress], asking for money and food!

Baozheng, who didn't take the [Country Defense Security Fortress] that Gu Yi made seriously, was very surprised. You must know that subduing the local clans and clans has always been the most troublesome thing for the [gentry clans] to govern various places. They are the most disobedient forces everywhere, but it is precisely these local clan clans that occupy the fields and have the largest population!
If you dare to impose taxes, he dares to raise troops and rebel. This is called "officials force the people to rebel", and the best result is "harmonious co-governance". No one thought that it would be resolved under such circumstances. This should be put in the time when [Dayou Dynasty] has all the power in the world, it is estimated that his castle can be promoted to three levels in a row just by virtue of "meritorious service in the rule of the people".

In less than a month, hundreds of small local clans sent people to risk their lives to break through to [Iron Furnace] for help. This surprised Rong Wei and Bao Zheng. Once these clans obeyed, [Iron Furnace] Fort] to bring the family property under their name under the rule, all kinds of taxes will be a lot more!
By this time, Baozheng and Rong Wei almost understood the "ingenuity" in it. Although they didn't communicate, Rong Wei and Baozheng responded with a tacit understanding.

Baozheng spent an additional 1000 million yuan in money and food to Wei Rong every month, and Wei Rong simply withdrew his guards from the territory, and all of them were pushed to the border where the pressure of defense was increasing under the attack of the rebels. Go ahead, free up the territory of [Ironforge Castle] and hand it over to the guard battalion under the name of Baozheng.

Throw in peaches and return in favor, although everyone's relationship is not very good, but under Gu Yi's signal, [Guan's Sales Company] transported food and supplies for the guards under Wei Rong's command by three points faster.

Although Captain Rong has a bad reputation, the benefits have come to fruition. The soldiers under his command don't have to go hungry. The bad reputation of suppressing bandits spreads, and even Shangfeng doesn't force him to rush to help the neighboring fort. How good it is!
As for whether Wei Rong would hide in the bed and curse him in circles, gnashing his teeth, that was beyond Gu Yi's consideration.

With Wei Guangzheng's Lord Baozheng coming forward, Guyi and the others, the small soldiers of the personal guard battalion, naturally obeyed the order and sent two battalions of [Yujie Camp] and [Yuliao Camp] to those clans who surrendered to the small clans. According to the size and population of each clan's land, the construction team to protect the [Tiangong Group] quickly built [enemy fortresses] of different levels such as "Tun, Zhai, Wu, Ju".
