Zongman: Became the owner of Uesugi at the beginning

There is indeed a Teigu in the warehouse that has been collected at a huge cost in recent years, but the Teigu called Gaia Foundation lacks attack and defense power, not to mention that he has not been able to find a suitable candidate now.

"Naturally, I've lived here for a long time. I've never seen the scenery of Beijun City before, but I can't take it easy. I hope the prefect can give me a job."

Xia Ge said with a smile, after the decline of the empire, the strength of resistance in various places has gradually risen, and the old emperor has been ill for a long time, and the center has given the local prefect the power to integrate the military and the government.

Of course, it was mainly to support officials and local nobles to compete in the arena. The elders of the center were busy preparing for the redistribution of benefits after the death of the emperor, and they did not want the local powers to take another share.

"Beijun Chengzuo garrison has a staff of 2000 people, but the supplies to the prefect's mansion can only supply half of it. Whether you can fill it up or not depends on you."

Xia Ge rubbed his fingers in surprise. The eunuch's salary is not unreasonable, but why does he think this guy is because he is afraid of death.

The garrison is not allowed to leave the North County jurisdiction, and according to Laide's news, before the North County only had 5000 front and rear garrison troops and a defense force directly under the prefect's direct control. It is quite good for him to have this situation when he first arrived.

At the same time, the other party did not forget to set restrictions on logistical supplies. The organization is very good, but in fact it is very cautious.

"Then I would like to thank the prefect."

The prefect nodded. If the other party agrees to marry his niece, then the administrative system is the place where the other party should go. It is not impossible to inherit the post of prefect after a few years. It is definitely going to go up one liter. At that time, the central and local governments will join forces, and everyone's situation will be guaranteed.

But since Xia Ge is unwilling, he can only become a vulgar military officer. At most, he will give him a little preferential treatment in the establishment, and there is still no allowance for supplies.

The banquet was over, and the two left the prefect's mansion. When they reached the door, the girl in black skirt chased her out. She pointed at Esdesh angrily, and said to Xia Ge: "I'm so inferior to her? A idiot from the countryside, The seat of your future uncle after marrying me is yours."

A handsome and young Tegushi is considered high-quality in the mate selection market.But the most unacceptable thing for a girl in a black dress is being beaten by Esthers.

Xia Ge didn't even turn his head and said: "If she scolds you, you beat her."

Estes turned and rolled up the sleeves of his long skirt.

"You shrew, don't touch me, I'll tell my uncle to kill you!"

Xia Ge stepped into the carriage first, this girl in black skirt belonged to the kind of arrogant and accustomed, in fact, she had lost value to the prefect after the marriage was rejected.

The eunuch couldn't use her to carry on the matter again, because it would not only discredit Xia Ge, but also the face of the new partner. How could a guy who is qualified to be with the eunuch outside the market accept a woman that others don't want? If you have an adopted daughter, you can't hurt your face with your niece.

Xia Ge watched Esdeth walk into the carriage happily, and said with a smile: "The supplies prepared by the thousand people are probably gone."

"Sorry..." Estes' face drooped suddenly.

"Well, I have to let you know so that I can repay the favor."

Chapter 97 Award

In the middle of the night, Esdeth in the velvet quilt suddenly woke up. Her eyes, which were only half closed when she was sleeping, became alert instantly. She took out the poisonous knife wrapped in a wooden sheath from under the pillow, stood up and jumped out of the window lightly.

The height of the second floor wouldn't put much burden on her joints. There were heavy footsteps in the castle just now, and Xia Ge was an even better stalker than herself.

The light in the living room on the first floor was still on. Esdeth stood in the garden and hesitated for a while, and finally chose to go in to find out. Even if the guy died, he shouldn't be silent.

In the living room, a man sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a few sheets of paper with densely packed text in his hands. A two-meter-tall steel human figure was standing on his side, walking mechanically.

Xia Ge put down the documents and turned to look at the girl who walked in from the main entrance and said, "Did you bother?"

Estes breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the hanger and took a coat for herself to put on. She doesn't wear pajamas when she sleeps, and she doesn't have that habit. The new underwear is the white one she bought before.

"It's okay..." She sat down on the sofa and picked up the book on the coffee table.

"Learning more in adolescence can exercise the brain. You didn't know much before, but now you have the conditions to make up for it."

Xia Ge lowered his head and continued his research while talking, and he was not troubled by language.

"Above the Sky"

The value of books in this era is no less than luxury goods, and the Baluts often migrate and it is difficult to preserve them, and it is not important for hunters.

"What are you doing?" Estes pulled his coat to cover his body, the sofa was directly in front of Shager, and he looked a bit indecent when he sat down.

"The mobile alchemy statue, I plan to use it to replace Teigu to support the empire after it is scaled up. Unfortunately, it has no intelligence and is a purely mechanical alchemy product."

Even so, there was no regret in Xia Ge's tone.

In his hand are the research materials of Vegapunk, the detailed explanation of the mobile part, and the leftovers of the pacifist project.

The technical difficulty of Vegapunk's research on pacifists lies in combining the ability of the yellow ape with the clone of the bear, and letting them emit lasers is the real excitement of the demon blood factor.As for how to make them move and have simple program judgment ability, the difficulty is limited.

Xia Ge does not have the research literacy of Vegapunk, so lasers are not extravagant. As long as the material strength of the golem is high enough, it can already outperform ordinary soldiers. It is equivalent to tanks on ancient battlefields. If the number is enough, maybe Can besiege and kill Emperor Gu envoys.

The point is peace of mind, don't worry about loyalty issues.

"This is something the emperor should consider." Esdeth said with narrowed eyes.

"The grand duke is fine too." Xia Ge replied calmly, if it wasn't for the ceremony requiring him to be a defender of order, then someone should go to the imperial capital to make a big fuss now.

Estes didn't know why he deliberately emphasized the Grand Duke. Anyway, he couldn't fall asleep after being woken up, so he simply opened the book to study.

……

The next morning.

Xia Ge left the residence and walked to the street. The eunuch had just given the establishment yesterday, and the appointment documents had been delivered to his mansion by the end of the dinner. Now he had to find the source of soldiers. It took about 200 people to act as scouts for the main force of the golem.

Not directly sending him ready-made soldiers is not to make things difficult, but now the garrison has become a gold-plated place for the children of local nobles, even if the eunuch wants to borrow a knife to kill someone, he will not use such an obvious method.Moreover, choosing soldiers independently means refusing to monitor them.

Xia Ge habitually ate a breakfast, and after paying the bill, he flew into the sky under the blessing of Mingzhao.

Western border.

Because the northern and western aliens are nomadic in nature, with strong cavalry and outstanding mobility, the empire has built frontier fortresses in both the northern and western borders. Since the southern aliens live in dense jungles, the empire can only open up A plain battlefield serves as a line of defense.

External development requires financial support, and the outcome is uncertain.Therefore, in recent decades, the empire has rarely provoked wars on its own initiative.Unless there is a general who is invincible in all battles, the central executives will never bet easily.

Luolai County is one of the three counties in the West Road, and it is also the nearest big city to the border. The Gobi outside the city is remarkable.

Due to the harsh environment, the county town's control over various places is obviously insufficient, and there are a large number of mixed blood living near the border.

Xia Ge landed on the streets of the county town. Of course he didn’t come here to eat sand. According to the information he inquired from Laid, this is the largest underground slave trading market in the empire. The end of this network is the bustling In the imperial capital, the biggest buyers are also nobles in the imperial capital.

He was not in the right mind, so naturally he couldn't find those guys who had a sense of belonging to the empire as scouts. Mixed blood of different races was a better choice, and distance was not a problem. He left coordinates in North County with a handkerchief.

The color combination of knowledge and knowledge enveloped the whole city. According to the size of the population density, Xia Ge found the target very quickly.

The vegetable market in the east of the city, passing by in the morning, the streets that used to be crowded with each other seemed a bit empty. It took ten days and a half months before someone came to clean it.

Xia Ge walked through a narrow alley, and a row of large courtyards appeared in front of him. From his knowledgeable perception, the walls of these courtyards have been opened.

At the gate of the compound lay many young people basking in the sun, all dirty.But there were short knives tied at the back of the waist, and when they saw the person wearing a black robe, they quickly returned to their lazy state.

They are only responsible for driving away residents and outsiders who strayed into this place. This guy doesn't look like a good guy in his attire. He still wears a mask in broad daylight. It is estimated that several people were killed, and he happened to be in the sales range of the owner.

"Do you have a tip, friend, how about buying me a glass of wine." A rough-looking young man stood up.

Apart from the murderer, the guy who is so tightly wrapped may also be a woman. He doesn't look tall, but there are many simple ways to increase his height.

"roll……"

"Okay..." The young man heard the male voice and actually rolled out lying on the ground.

He wanted to blackmail because the big customers didn't go this way. If it was a man, it would intensify the cost of the conflict. If it was a woman who could sound onomatopoeia, it wouldn't be easy to mess with a woman. Chances are, the door is open, and there are several heavily armed guards standing on both sides of it.

Xia Ge stopped in front of the door, and suddenly turned around and threw a gold coin at the young man just now. The gold coin reflected a charming brilliance under the sun, and the people lying on the ground were all staring at the sky.

"reward……"

The young man's face was grim. He knew what it meant to get a gold coin now.But if it wasn't for the extreme lack of money, he wouldn't have stood up just now.

He caught the gold coin and ran wildly out of the alley, then was stabbed in the calf by the short knife thrown by others, and fell to the ground with a plop.

At this time, Xia Ge had already walked into the gate, and a few guys who reacted a little slower looked at the guards behind the gate, turned around and joined the queue for scrambling.

"You are really vile." A man with a scar on his face approached and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry..." Xia Ge said calmly.

Chapter 98 Auction

The man with the scar face froze when he heard the words, and after a while, he smiled again and said, "Please..."

He bent sideways and stretched out his hand, leading Xia Ge to the yard.

"What kind of goods do you want? We are one of the four largest sellers in Luolai. Whether it is a down-and-out noble girl, a charming young woman of a different race, or a mixed race with strange hair color, we will definitely be able to satisfy your interests .”

Scarface had a modest smile, and a gold coin meant nothing.But maybe the other party has a lot of gold coins, and his smiling face is worthless.

Xia Ge raised his eyebrows lightly. He chose to be a medium-sized seller. The number of slaves in this line of yards is not high in the entire Luolai County, and the possibility of the other party's boasting cannot be ruled out.

"Mixed blood with a physique that can at least serve as an auxiliary soldier. It is best to have a family with a family. The number is about [-], and there must be no malignant infectious diseases."

The smile on Scar's face was even worse, he squeezed his thigh secretly, this is a big customer, and being able to add relatives shows that the other party is not short of money, and he has no control over what to do.

The price of a strong and strong woman is higher than that of a slightly attractive woman, but not as good as that of a beautiful woman. The problem is that the other party takes more money.

"Please come with me." Scarface's tone was more respectful, and at the same time, Xia Ge was removed from the list of murderers and robbers. He could not afford to provoke a guy who could provide food, drink and equipment for 200 people.

Scarface led Xia Ge to the cellar at the back of the courtyard. Before going down, he prepared two torches, and the inside was pitch-dark, and the two walked along the relatively spacious tunnel.

"The lighting is not very good. If someone ambushes, they will die." Xia Ge said holding a torch. The weasel and the snake are like ducks in water in this environment. When he first noticed this tunnel, he thought he was running away. use.

Scarface said with a wry smile: "My lord, I didn't mean to frame you. I used to light candles on both sides for the sake of brightness. But since then, as long as someone gets down, they will pass out, and if it takes a little longer, their lives will be lost." , People in the chamber of commerce say that there are unclean things that are killing them, and they must be appeased with darkness.

In addition, a hole has to be drilled at a certain distance to facilitate their exit. This is a method learned from farmers, and we still can't figure out why. "

Xia Ge nodded and said, "It's terrible."

"Yeah, every time I go, I'm terrified."

After walking for nearly half an hour, there was no way ahead. At the end was a ladder, and Scarface climbed up and knocked on the wooden board above his head.

The two came out of the tunnel after checking the number, and Xia Ge spread out his knowledge and found that he was actually outside the city.

This place is a post station, or on the official road, two strong men came over to communicate with Scarface, and then led them into the carriage.

"Good guy, you dare to whore for nothing even in the empire." Xia Ge felt a little speechless.

"They also have no choice. Less than one-third of their salaries are paid to them. Some people have spent most of their lives from the most basic postmen without being promoted to an official position. In the end, they can only find their own way out."

Scar said with a slightly melancholy face, he really felt it, he used to be able to live honestly and dutifully, but in the past ten years he couldn’t even do it in Hukou, and the situation is getting worse every year. Few people are willing to sell themselves, and the chamber of commerce expects to find a good buyer.

Of course, he knew that what he was doing was a damn fellow. Even if he was semi-legal under the feudal aristocratic slave system, he was destined to be riddled with evil, and it would not be uncommon for him to die in the wild one day.But he's just a little guy who works his way up and down and goes with the flow.

"It's over."

"yes……"

The two expressed emotion without hesitation. This is the ending that anyone with a discerning eye can see. Can the eunuch see it, can Si Gu Ming see it? Everyone can see it.But including Xia Ge, none of them was willing to let go of Taezi before they were full.
