Chapter 32: The Inside Story of the Fiefdom

Zhang Zhongjun was a little stunned, he clearly knew how rare it was to be a real pavilion man, and he also secretly guessed in his heart what a huge contribution his father had made for the Emperor of Heaven. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, the big frog was still stunned at this time, and hurriedly jumped above his head. Zhang Zhongjun woke up suddenly, and without saying a word, he eagerly and respectfully received the holy decree.

At the end of the proclamation, Xiao Dezi returned to normal, first congratulated Zhang Zhongjun with a smile, and then gave Zhenjun a stick of incense with a solemn face, and then began to take care of this funeral.

Those people of all kinds who had been prepared for a long time began to get busy under the instructions of Xiao Dezi, and then immediately after, the nobles and officials of the county, the county, and the court came to offer incense and condolences in an endless stream.

Just kowtowing in return made Zhang Zhongjun dizzy, where can he consider the specific situation and location of this Bali Pavilion.

It's been so lively for a few days, all the coffins have been sent to the Zhang family cemetery to be buried, and the funeral is over.

It's just that what made Zhang Zhongjun a little stunned was that the stewards and servants who were still desperately sticking to his side and trying to show themselves desperately suddenly returned to the cold and detached attitude before the holy decree came.

Zhang Zhongjun was full of puzzlement, didn't those stewards beg to take them to the territory in vain? Why did they all run away now? What they left behind was like a dead father, looking dejected, completely different from before?

What's more, how did the county guard, who was eager to dig out his heart and lungs before, suddenly become indifferent?

Looking at the county guard who came to him again with a gloomy expression, Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but shout: "Lord county guard, what about my father's guards? Do you still suspect that they assassinated my father?

The county guard glanced at Zhang Zhongjun and said weakly: "Bali Pavilion man, your father's guards are all from Shenjing, and they belong to the military of the Northern Army. ”

"Ah?!They are actually registered soldiers of the Northern Army?!" Zhang Zhongjun was dumbfounded, his father's guards, but he followed his father before he was born, and he had been in Zhenjun Bofu for at least ten years, but he didn't expect that as soon as his father died, they would return to the army without hesitation?

But think about it, his father is actually just an honorary nobleman, and it is not a new thing for an honorary nobleman to apply for a guard from the royal family. Zhang Zhongjun suppressed the apprehension in his heart, his expression suddenly became serious, and he respectfully bowed to the county guard and asked: "The younger generation has a lot of doubts, please ask the county guard to solve his nephew's doubts for the sake of his father." ”

The county guard looked at Zhang Zhongjun with a complicated expression, and only after a while did he help Zhang Zhongjun and sighed: "You feel that the world is cold, don't you understand why it has become like this? After all, you are a real pavilion man." ”

Zhang Zhongjun nodded hurriedly, and the big frog, ignoring everything on the top of Zhang Zhongjun's head, swallowed a cigarette with Erlang's legs, it was bored now, and wanted to talk to Zhang Zhongjun, but this thing couldn't understand its frog call, and it couldn't stay away from Zhang Zhongjun, so it had to be so decadent.

"Before, everyone catered to you because they didn't know what kind of place Bali Pavilion was, Marushan Township, Muye County, Tunshi County, and after they found out, they naturally treated each other indifferently. The county guard said very indifferently.

"Ah, what kind of place is this?Tunshi County should be in the interior of the empire, right?" Zhang Zhongjun was a little stunned, and he didn't blame him for this, the empire only has a few ruling institutions, such as the central government, counties, counties, townships, and pavilions, and there are no states or provinces that control several counties. There are more than 1,000 counties in the empire, and not many people can memorize the names of the counties, let alone be familiar with the situation of each county.

If you want to know, you have to go to the county government to find out, Zhang Zhongjun was stunned by the sudden change of everyone before he acted, and he didn't expect that it was because of his fiefdom that caused everyone's indifference.

The county guard sighed: "Tunshi County, there is a Tun character, it is naturally a border area, and it is also a border area in a defensive state, and Muye County is the most prominent county in the empire, a county surrounded by foreign forces on three sides, of which Bali Pavilion is the most prominent piece of land." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhongjun was dumbfounded, and the big frog covered his stomach and kicked his head up and laughed wildly.

"I went back and checked the information, the area of this Bali Pavilion is very vast, it can be said that it is the largest pavilion in the whole empire, it is 500 square kilometers, but this pavilion only has 10,000 people of the empire. The county keeper spoke again.

However, this passage made Zhang Zhongjun immediately look surprised: "There is actually a 500-square-kilometer pavilion?! It's incredible! An ordinary pavilion is only 50 square kilometers, right? And there are actually 10,000 imperial people? These many people can catch up with a township!"

The county guard looked at Zhang Zhongjun with pity and said: "These 10,000 people are all fugitives and vicious people who can't be mixed up in the empire, and in addition to these 10,000 people who can still be regarded as subjects of the empire, the entire Bali Pavilion has a population of 50,000. ”

"50,000 people?a pavilion?!50,000 people?, are you kidding?!" Zhang Zhongjun, who was shocked, suddenly realized what was the point: "Wait, this is actually only 10,000 imperial people......?

The county guard nodded and said: "That's right, 40,000 are fugitives from the surrounding forces, and it can even be said that Bali Pavilion is no longer under the control of the empire, if it weren't for the 80,000 county soldiers and 10,000 southern troops stationed in Tunshi County, Bali Pavilion would have dragged Marushan Township out together, you must know that Marushan Township has a total population of 250,000, of which only 40,000 are the subjects of the empire." ”

"Uh......" Zhang Zhongjun didn't know what to say, on the surface, it seemed that the Emperor of Heaven canonized Bali Pavilion, a pavilion with a population of 500 square kilometers and 50,000 people, to himself, how could it be a supreme reward and trust.

But among these 50,000 people, 40,000 are foreigners, the remaining 10,000 are imperial fugitives, and even the higher-level townships have 210,000 foreigners. You must know that in the eyes of others, Zhang Zhongjun is a well-known cultivation waste, so let him become a Bali Pavilion man? This is equivalent to throwing him into the wolf's den.

Zhang Zhongjun suddenly realized, and because the stewards and servants who had always been loyal to him before, they also found out that the territory that the Emperor had canonized to him was this thing, so their attitude changed greatly.
