But all the people who came forward to register took out all kinds of official seals representing their ranks, wrote their official positions, names and places of origin on the booklet, and finally stamped the seals, and then those city guards quickly carved a waist card for the registered personnel on the spot and distributed it to them.
As long as they rely on this waist card, these people can freely enter and exit the entire city of Shanzhou Prefecture in the next ten days, and they can also purchase all kinds of armor and armor within the regulations in the city at will.
Zhang Zhongjun also registered his identity, then received such a waist card, returned to the team, and showed the waist card to everyone helplessly and said: "Everyone, no matter what, now that we have registered our names, then we will have to go to the city to fight the White Lotus Sect for ten days." ”
"Speaking of which, my lord, this matter may be a good thing for you, if you are lucky, you can get ten of those evil scepters, then you will be qualified to be a lord! This is the ranking of the first order of the imperial court!" Peng Quanwu said with bright eyes.
"What do you mean, is there any explanation in this?" I don't know the twists and turns inside, Zhang Zhongjun asked curiously.
"My lord, as long as you get the position of lord, no matter what happens in the future, you don't have to worry about being framed by someone with a heart to distort the facts, because even the governor of the provincial city and other giants have no power to dispose of you, only His Majesty and the Council of Honors can dispose of you!
Zhang Zhongjun muttered, "The Honorable Council? It sounds like it should be an institution similar to the noble court of the imperial world. He didn't respond to Peng Quanwu, but just beckoned: "Go, follow me back to the city, we have to prepare well before we can get out of the city, I want to bring all of you back to the water forest area one by one!"
"Yes!" these hundreds of subordinates shouted excitedly, whether it was catching fast, patrolling or releasing people, which one of them was not eager to get ahead?
Now in the Great Chen Dynasty, there are only two ways out, one is the imperial examination, but the pitiful number of people in the middle of the examination is not something that ordinary people can hope for. The second is strong strength, and this is not something that ordinary people who don't even know what the cheats look like can climb.
It can be said that the vast majority of ordinary people can only be as silent as stagnant water, and they can't find much way out.
This way out is not a way out of life, but a way out of glorifying ancestors.
The arresters and patrolmen of the yamen, the officials and city guards, the soldiers of the army, and even the members of gangs, once these identities are confirmed, they are all not accessible to ordinary people, because these positions are all prepared for their descendants by those with vested interests. To put it simply, it is a position that has been passed down from generation to generation.
If it weren't for the sudden establishment of the Shuilin District, Zhang Zhongjun's wanton recruitment of fast catchers and patrols, it would have been impossible for them to obtain this position that could be passed on to future generations.
And now that their own adults have encountered this kind of great thing of starting a war with the White Lotus Sect and then obtaining meritorious deeds, of course these people will fight with their lives to push their own adults up, because the higher the status of their own adults, the status of their own people will naturally rise with the tide, and even if they hang up, their own brothers or their own children, but there is an unspoken rule of priority entry than others, who will spare their lives in such a situation?
Zhang Zhongjun didn't know that his subordinates were all working hard to provide for themselves, and then they came to enjoy the idea of hereditary position. Although it was very strange for these people to react, Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but feel very satisfied when he saw that his subordinates were extremely belligerent and not afraid of going to the battlefield at all.
Although Zhang Zhongjun has some understanding of this world, he has not really understood that what the people at the bottom are most looking forward to is actually an opportunity to get ahead, and those who have already occupied this opportunity naturally want their children and grandchildren to continue to occupy their own positions, and even do their best to go to the next level, so that their children and grandchildren can be one step ahead of others as soon as they are born.
Seeing that his subordinates were already eager to try, Zhang Zhongjun didn't say anything more to boost morale, and directly led his subordinates into the city, took the sign and found the official who deliberately stood up to manage the government's inventory, and began to purchase on a large scale, equipping his subordinates with the most complete equipment.
Although Zhang Zhongjun was not very happy to fight with the people of the White Lotus Sect with his subordinates, especially to grab the inexplicable evil scepter and some gold beads and black beads, even if the lord's reward was enough to make him excited, Zhang Zhongjun was not the kind of person who would exchange the lives of his subordinates for his future.
But since the prince's decree has been issued, as long as the people present have official status, there is no way to escape this imperial decree, since there is no way to escape, try to fight for the greatest protection for yourself. So the first thing Zhang Zhongjun did was to equip his subordinates, and then go out of the city for ten days, and when he was done, he would come back and sail back to the water and forest area when the deadline was up. As for whether he has earned meritorious service, it is not something that Zhang Zhongjun needs to care about.
When waiting in line in the warehouse, Zhang Zhongjun not only saw those sea tycoons waving silver tickets, but also saw some local tyrants in the city also waving silver tickets.
Zhang Zhongjun maintained an indifferent attitude towards this, but he was surprised to find that most of the weapons purchased by these local tyrants were weapons such as knives, guns, bows and arrows, and there were no armor and crossbows, not even leather armor. That is to say, these rich men only purchased ordinary weapons for their subordinates, but did not purchase armor at all! However, the standard imperial court uniforms were one for each person, and if it were not for the purpose of distinguishing friend from foe, I am afraid that this uniform would not have been purchased.
Zhang Zhongjun was dumbfounded, don't you rich officials want to rely on your hands to kill the enemy and snatch meritorious deeds? Why don't you buy armor for your subordinates?
It wasn't until Zhang Zhongjun saw Luo Zhengrong purchasing a batch of armor, shields, and all kinds of swords, guns, bows and arrows that were very exquisite at first glance, that he immediately leaned over and asked, "Big brother, you also want to go out of the city to fight?" ”
