Riding a chopping horse and stepping into the world

Chapter 81
On the bumpy official road, Zhang Tie and his party were silent, recalling what the old man in the small village said.

In Yuxi Village, the old man took a complicated look at Zhang Shun, shook his head, and let out a long sigh.

"Biancheng County! It's so hard! Do you know? Many years ago, our village had at least thirty households."

When the old man said this, his eyes were full of memories. It seemed that the prosperous small village appeared in front of him, and then he felt deeply helpless.

"Unfortunately, with the collapse and separation of the previous dynasty, civil wars have continued in recent years, making our border land even more difficult. The Yan State cannot provide extra troops. Every year, it suffers from plunder by the Mongols and harassment by the Koreans. , and the snatch of bandits."

The old man frowned slightly and said angrily: "Actually, we can still tolerate this. Mongolia and bandits also know that they cannot kill chickens to get eggs. The most they do every year is to rob resources and people. They will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Koreans Harassment is nothing.”

"But I didn't expect that just a few years ago, the county magistrate of Biancheng County was suddenly replaced by the higher authorities. Although the previous county magistrate said that he didn't do much, there was nothing he could do about it. The region has limited troops, so we can't manage so many people, and people in our border towns have never blamed him, so it's impossible to imagine."

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

When the old man said this, his chest was bulging, and his tone began to become agitated. He held his chest and kept coughing. Zhang Shun quickly stepped forward and patted the old man's back lightly. "Old man, don't get excited, speak slowly."

Under Zhang Shun's combing, the old man stopped coughing, waved his hand, and said to Zhang Shun: "Thank you, Lord County Magistrate. This is an old problem of mine. It doesn't matter."

"Hey!"

Sighing again, the old man said angrily: "The magistrate of Biancheng County who wants to come first is simply inferior to a pig and dog. Once he takes office, he will start to increase taxes, and he will be charged several times a year. People in Biancheng County It was already miserable, but with the arrival of such a county magistrate, many people left here and fled elsewhere, or were forced to go up the mountains and become thieves."

Glancing at Zhang Shun, the old man was expressionless, wondering what he was thinking.

At the same time, many task reminders appeared on Zhang Tie's retina.

【Ding!Task reminder! 】

【Clean up bandits! 】

【Mission content: There are many bandits in the area you take over. If you want to develop better, you have to clean up all the bandits in Biancheng County within two months. 】

[Task rewards: experience 50000, system currency 10000, reputation 200, ruling power +1, Biancheng county people's support +30. 】

'Yes'

【Ding!Task reminder! 】

【Protect civilians! 】

[Mission content: In the area you take over, civilians have been plundered in various ways, protect them so that they will no longer be plundered, and the time limit is permanent. 】

[Mission Rewards: Every other month, rewards will be given according to the situation of civilians. 】

No yes or no, yet another mandatory task.

Walking on the official road, Zhang Tie was riding a heavy gray prairie horse while planning in his mind, "There is no need to rush the task of protecting civilians. You can take your time, but you still have to deal with the bandits as soon as possible. There is a time limit. Look." We need to recruit more people to clean up all the bandits in Biancheng County."

With the existence of the system map, Zhang Tie is not worried about not being able to find the bandits. After all, Biancheng County is not very big. You can run around Biancheng County in two days on horseback. The most urgent thing now is to let Zhang Shun become a Go to the county magistrate, and then recruit people.

That evening, just before the sun set, Zhang Tie and others arrived outside the county seat of Biancheng County.

And on the way here, I also met a dozen or so short-sighted bandits, who were easily dealt with by Zhang Tie and others, and also brought Zhang Tie 2000 points of experience.

Although Biancheng County is now a low-level county, the city is not small. As a boundary, Biancheng County was still a large county in the previous dynasty, with a large population, and had business ties with Mongolia and South Korea. .

It's just that with the breakup of the previous dynasty and the beginning of the civil war, Mongolia and South Korea were no longer satisfied with the way of trading. Taking advantage of the civil war in Yan and Zhao, Mongolia and South Korea began to plunder.

Faced with the Mongolian and Korean plunder, merchants fled one after another, the previous business was completely destroyed, and the economy plummeted.

The people who came from Mongolia were all riding horses, and they were all good at riding and shooting. At the beginning, the soldiers in Biancheng County would go out to stop the Mongolian plunder.

It's a pity that there are not many horses. How can two-legged soldiers run faster than the Mongols who own horses? This caused the soldiers in the border towns to chase and fail to chase the Mongols. Instead, they were shot by the Mongols on horseback with bows and arrows. Lost manpower in vain.

Therefore, from then on, in the face of the Mongolian plunder, the soldiers in Biancheng County could only stand on the tower, angrily watching the arrogant Mongols plundering the land they guarded.

Only when the Koreans came, would they go out of the city and deal a heavy blow to the Koreans, venting all the anger in their hearts on the Koreans.

The city wall in Biancheng County is 752 feet long (about 2 meters), 3 feet 2 feet high (about eight meters), and two feet wide (about seven meters). It is made of stone bricks mixed with soil and a little Made of rice milk, there are four gates in the southeast, north and west. The gate is [-] Zhang (about seven meters) long and two Zhang (about six meters) wide.

There is also a moat outside the city gate, and there are piranhas in the river (black technology appeared ∠(?」∠)_). It is precisely such a moat that has blocked multiple attacks from many enemies.

It was getting late at this time, and the city gate was about to close. Zhang Tie and others finally arrived at the county seat of Biancheng County before closing the city gate.

When they came to the moat, Zhang Tie and others got off their horses, led the horses, and walked slowly towards the city gate. Fish would jump out of the moat from time to time. Looking at the sharp teeth, Zhang Tie was surprised, "There are food Mermaid!”

After paying the entry fee, Zhang Tie and others continued to walk into the city, planning to find a place to rest for the night before taking up their posts early the next morning.

In fact, before the county magistrate takes office, before the person arrives at the place, he has to order someone to go to the place where he takes office in advance, and issue a notice to the county government office where he will take office.

After the county government office received the notice, the ceremonial room commissioned the Shangyi note, prepared the three animal sacrifices, lanterns, chariots, sedan chairs, husbands, and horses, and issued a list of the etiquettes for the new officials to visit and worship, so as to order held.

At the same time, set up beds, tables and chairs, box racks, public cases, printing pads, printing boxes, printing racks, dismounting banquets and three-day public banquets, etc.

However, it is obvious that Zhang Tie and others did not follow the routine. First, they wanted to observe secretly, and second, they found it troublesome.

The soldiers at the city gate charged the entrance fee, and after Zhang Tie and the others walked away, they all looked at each other in surprise.

One of them said to the others: "You guard the city gate first, and I will inform Master Bo."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran into the city.
