Chapter 53: The Guide to Effectiveness

After seeing Zhang Zhongjun's strong strength, the guides also began to have their own thoughts. Some of them still shook their heads and stepped aside, obviously not intending to intervene right now, while others immediately moved up, seemingly hesitating.www.biquge.info

What's more, he has already run to Zhang Zhongjun's side, and said with a flattering face: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord!"

Looking at this guide, who was easy to talk before, but still a little arrogant, suddenly looked like a dog, Zhang Zhongjun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Ouyang Chong, I don't know why you are happy?"

"Sir, you have destroyed the Dongli Camel Army in one fell swoop, which is enough to deter the people of Bali Pavilion and others, even if you can't make them respectfully obey the order, it is enough to make them recognize your status, and most importantly, because you have captured these people, they have become your slaves, and it is up to you whether to turn them into a new camel army or sell them. The guide named Ouyang Chong said respectfully.

"Slaves?" Zhang Zhongjun was a little stunned, although the empire also trafficked human beings, and there were slaves such as children in the family, but this required signing a contract and authenticating the record in the government. What's more, even if you sign a death contract, you can't kill for no reason.

Occasionally, some powerful families kill slaves, and if the government does not pursue them, it is enough to die of a violent illness, and if they are investigated, according to the law, killing a slave is a matter of exile.

Zhang Zhongjun did not expect that there would be slaves in the empire who had no human rights.

"Yes, sir, this kind of thing is very common in this border county, and even many times the cavalry of the Northern Army will sell the prisoners captured by the bandits directly to the merchants, not to the human market. Ouyang rubbed his palms again and said.

"Oh, I don't know if I should turn them into slaves, or sell them all?" Zhang Zhongjun suddenly raised his horsewhip and pointed at the captives, looked down at Ouyang with a smile and asked again.

Looking at Zhang Zhongjun's pointed smile, Ouyang couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart: "It's worthy of being a nobleman, although he is still young, he already has a certain ability to calculate, no wonder it is said that nobles and mortals are people from two worlds, and everyone's education is completely different!"

Ouyang regained his concentration and said respectfully: "Sir, they have been subdued by you, according to the habits of the people living in this place, as long as you are willing to accept them, they will be loyal to you and work for you." You can also use these people to immediately form a 500-strong camel cavalry, they are all old people in Dongli, and they have a very strong effect on your control of Dongli. ”

"Oh, what about the families of those who died in battle? they will take revenge, and why do you only mention Dongli? Benjue is the master of the entire Bali Pavilion. Zhang Zhongjun asked indifferently.

"In such a harsh environment, everyone wants to live, and they are used to following the strong, only a few people will take revenge, and as long as you don't pursue the others, they will definitely surrender to you, and even try their best to find opportunities to work for you, so there is no need to worry about this. ”

"As for why you only say Dongli, it's because ......" Speaking of this, Ouyang pondered again for a while before continuing with a serious face: "Sir, the Bali Pavilion is divided into eight li, and it is the chief who controls these eight li on the surface, but there are still some forces behind them to support, even remote control, like the big head clock that was driven out of the army by the empire, it is impossible for him to be the li, but the actual person in charge of Xili is him, if you really want to count it, the lichang is just a thousand commanders under his command." ”

"I see, none of the leaders of the various forces shown by the previous intelligence were appointed as lieutenants, right?" Zhang Zhongjun nodded and said.

"Yes, none of the leaders of those forces who have been on the intelligence of the empire have been governors, but almost all of them control one of them behind them, and although some of them are not controlled, when they speak, the entire Bali Pavilion has to give some face. So I thought that if you are new to the city, you should not ask for the real control of the entire Bali Pavilion first, as long as Dongli has a firm foothold. Ouyang nodded again.

"Is there no one behind the scenes in Dongli?" asked Zhang Zhongjun curiously.

"The power of Bali Pavilion is stronger the further west it goes, and because Dongli is close to the empire, there are only some merchant alliances behind it. The big bell can be said to be the strongest of the forces on the surface, and those businessmen who advocate harmony and make money, and dare not compete with you, when you announce that you are also the east li, they will definitely be the first to offer you a confession. Ouyang said pointedly.

Zhang Zhongjun nodded and said nothing, Bali Pavilion is far away from the center of the empire, and there are still a large number of foreigners living in it, and the residents must not know much about the system of the empire, I am afraid that they don't know the huge gap between the fictitious nobles and the real nobles, so they will look down on themselves because of the title of the lowest title of Pavilion Man.

Those merchants are different, they go from south to north, it is impossible not to know the ability of the real nobles, and if they want to do business with the empire, they will never dare to offend themselves.

I'm afraid that Dongli's attack was also the captain's own thing.

Zhang Zhongjun is not worried about gaining a firm foothold, what he cares about is what Ouyang said again: "Datouzhong is the strongest force in Bali Pavilion"!

Since there is an open side, then there is a secret side, and in this secret side, the empire and surrounding countries must also have a part. After pondering for a while, Zhang Zhongjun said to Ouyang again: "Work for me, the treatment is one level lower than Chen Jun and Li Bing, ten stones." ”

Ouyang Chong was immediately overjoyed, and directly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Thank you, lord!"

Ten stone moon, according to the literal understanding, is naturally the grain of ten stones, and a long time ago, the official's food was indeed food. But with the development of the empire and the development of the economy, an official's monthly allowance is just a joke!

But the rules are not so easy to change, and in the end, in order to save trouble, everyone directly stipulated that 1 stone is equal to 1 gold, that is, 10,000 Wen.

The most popular rice is only 15 Wen a catty, and Ouyang is 100,000 Wen a month, which can buy 6,666 catties of rice, which is already comparable to a medium-sized family.

This makes him, who used to earn a maximum of a few thousand wen a month, how can he not be grateful?

The ordinary guards who have been watching the excitement on the periphery can be described as envy and jealousy, damn it! A new ding actually jumped on his head at once! It is taller than his own moon!

But they were just jealous in their hearts, after all, Ouyang was very familiar with Bali Pavilion again, and he was still a person who knew the pattern, and he couldn't compare with himself who could only slash and kill.
