In the past few days, the town of Nangjuan has been even more lively than during the Chinese New Year. The town has welcomed a hundred thousand imperial soldiers with bright armor, and many people in strange clothes have followed the army. Around the Yuanma Mountain outside the town
The camp was set up, with thousands of yurt-like tents distributed in a T-shape, in an orderly manner. A large fence was formed outside the military camp with giant trees, and all the thousands of tents were included in it. There was still a trace of green on the giant trees, and they were all covered in green.
It is made by cutting down trees on Prancing Horse Mountain.
The daily supplies needed by such a huge army should not be underestimated, and the officials in the town were responsible for purchasing them. This really made the mayor Hu Bugui a huge profit, as he was the only one in the town who could be counted as one.
What about the officials?
Those strange people who came with the army wandered around the town every day. They were all generous and generous, eating, drinking and having fun. If they saw something that caught their eye, they would not even blink an eyelid and immediately take out the yellow and white leaf money.
They collected all of them and brought a lot of income to the vendors in the town.
The only unhappy people in the town are probably Fan'er and his playmates who like to dig out bird eggs. The place where the army is stationed is their favorite paradise. Now there is a forest of soldiers under the Prancing Horse Mountain, and no one can get close to the military camp.
Half a step later, even the trees on the mountain were cut down sparsely by the sergeants, and all the birds on the mountain were missing. The sergeants on guard could often see a group of little kids stopping not far from the military camp.
Looking out, some even secretly wiped away tears...
Today, Xiao Fan'er was sitting alone on a dirt bag a few hundred meters away from the military camp, holding his cheek and staring at Yuanma Mountain in a daze. His big black eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, and he couldn't go up to Yuanma Mountain.
The egg-picking king was naturally the most disappointed. However, during this period of time, his parents were busy with the opening of the 'supermarket' and had no time to take into account Fan'er's feelings. He could only come to this former paradise alone in a daze.
Squeak! Squeak... Mayor Hu Bugui led a large team of ox carts and drove over. Behind each ox cart was a cart full of large bamboos, piled up like hills. The handlebars of the carts
The long whips in the hands of the soldiers were shaking loudly, and the wheels of their wheels groaned as they ran towards the military camp.
"Mr. Hu, are these big bamboos for the horses in the military camp?" Fan'er asked, tilting his little head. In the past few days, he heard the neighing of many horses in the military camp.
Hu Bugui couldn't help laughing after hearing Fan'er's words, and his gray goatee trembled with joy: "Haha! When have you, little guy, ever seen a horse eating bamboo?"
Fan'er curled his lips disapprovingly and said: "It's not for the horses, but it's for the military men who harmed the big trees on Yuanma Mountain!"
After saying that, he actually stretched out his pinky middle finger towards Hu Bugui and gave it a thumbs up to the sky. He remembered that Uncle Liu once said, if you see someone being silly, just make this gesture. There is also a very loud
His name: Contempt!
"Hahaha!" Hu Bugui was really amused by this cute little guy. He covered his stomach and bent over with laughter. Even the handlebars behind him couldn't help laughing.
Hu Bugui did not stay to joke with Xiao Fan'er, nor did he explain what the big bamboos were used for. He just turned his head and shouted at the handlebars behind him: "Everyone, hurry up, be careful with the old scalpers pulling the handles."
Che Yuanzi ate it!"
If horses can eat moso bamboo, then there is nothing wrong with the old oxen chewing a few cart shafts! The ox cart squeaked and drove forward, leaving only Xiao Fan'er who was still looking at Hu Bugui's rickets.
The figure from behind was gesturing desperately with her middle finger.
Dozens of oxcarts loaded with large moso bamboo slowly entered the military camp. Paulin, who was dressed in armor, personally went outside the tent to greet him. From time to time, he stretched out his palm to gently tap the strong moso bamboo, making a few hollow muffled sounds.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
The official system of the Tianxing Empire is somewhat similar to the county system that prevailed during the Qin and Han Dynasties, but it is somewhat different. The country can be divided into sixty-eight counties, each county is divided into several states and counties, and each county is divided into
For several towns. The county governor was directly appointed by the emperor, but the county magistrate could be selected by the county magistrate and submitted to the various ministries of the capital for review and decision. The removal of the county magistrate also had to be approved by the emperor before it could be effective. However, the youngest mayor could
They were directly appointed by the county magistrate, and all trivial matters could be handled directly by the town mayor. They were closely linked to each other, and the power of the empire was firmly in the hands of the emperor.
"Mayor Hu has worked so hard these days to supply the army, which really puts Bao to shame!" Baolin took a small bag from the quartermaster and handed it to Hu Bugui with a smile.
After briefly weighing the rather heavy pouch in his hand, Hu Bugui smiled broadly and said without any hesitation: "General, it is a great honor for Hu to serve the empire.
"After saying that, he bowed and bowed his hands, looking extremely respectful.
After speaking in an official tone for a while, Hu Bugui asked the people on the carts to unload all the big moso bamboos, and they were busy shouting and drinking for a while, but he was also a little confused in his heart: What is the purpose of collecting so many moso bamboos in the military camp?
As long as he has money, he will accept it! Touching the heavy bag of money in his arms, a smile appeared on Hu Bugui's face.
Looking at Hu Bugui's back leading an empty oxcart away, Baolin suddenly put away the smile on his lips and said with a solemn expression: "Give me the order, except for the garrison on Yuanma Mountain, the rest of the soldiers are waiting.
Cutting down wooden planks, we must build a pontoon bridge that is one hundred feet long and six feet wide across the river within three days. Anyone who is idle and lazy will be punished according to military regulations!"
"General, take your orders!" The lieutenants on the left and right promised in unison, turned and left, the heavy soles of their boots crunching on the ground.
In the next two days, the military camp was very busy, with the sound of sawing wood and splitting bamboo. Many soldiers took off their heavy armor and worked hard with their bare arms. Only the more than a thousand strange people
The strangers were happy and leisurely, still wandering around the town, drinking and having fun every day!
There are two exceptions, namely the two ghost brothers. The two brothers accompany Pauling every day and silently watch the 100-meter pontoon bridge that is about to be completed.
There are four extremely simple tents set up on Prancing Horse Mountain to the south of the military camp, which look so unique. There are five thousand soldiers guarding these four tents day and night. No one can step within a hundred steps of them, even
Those strangers who wanted to go out for fun were also persuaded to go back by the leading sergeant. He also said that there were extremely important military supplies stored in the tent, so they had to give up the idea.
The four mysterious large tents were silent and integrated with the surrounding trees, as if they should have just been built on the Prancing Horse Mountain.
