"The boy had a master around. When I was trapped near the other party's tent, I accidentally stepped on a dead branch. Someone immediately came out of the tent to check. Fortunately, I hid behind another tent. The other party checked for a while and didn't notice it. Then I went back again. I followed him quietly and heard someone talking inside." When the wild dog spoke at the end, a solemn expression appeared on his face. Those who could be called a master by him would definitely not be worse than Lao Dao and Lu Wu.

"What are you talking about inside?" Li Zhang couldn't help asking anxiously when he heard this. If he could eavesdrop on the other party's conversation, he might know the other party's exact identity. If it was really Li Yuanhao, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

What Li Zhang did not expect was that the wild dog shook his head and said, "I don't understand, but what they said should be Dangxiang dialect."

Li Zhang was also stunned at this time, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He forgot the reason for his language barrier. After all, wild dogs are not professional spies, and it is normal for them to not understand the other party's language. Thanks to them having been in Qingzhou for a while, there are also many Dangxiang people in Qingzhou City, so the wild dogs can tell that the other party is speaking Dangxiang dialect.

"But although I can't understand the other party's conversation, I heard the other party mention your and General Cao's names, and more than once!" Wild Dog suddenly spoke again. He couldn't understand Dangxiang's words, but when talking about the names of Li Zhang and Cao Wei, it still pronounced in Chinese, so he could still hear them.

"Did the other party really mention my name?" Li Zhang couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard this. It was normal for those who came here to do business to mention Cao Wei's name, but not many people knew him, and his name was mainly associated with the Musket Battalion, so unless it was someone who specifically inquired about the Musket Battalion, it would be impossible to know his name.

The wild dog nodded with certainty at this time. Li Zhang was overjoyed at the moment. The other party was a Dangxiang person, and he was about the same age as Li Yuanhao, and he was likely to be inquiring about the news about the musket camp. Combined with these conditions, he was almost 50% sure to determine that the other party was the legendary Li Yuanhao.

Thinking of this, Li Zhang couldn't help but get excited, and even thought about how to kill the biggest threat to the future of the Song Dynasty. But soon he calmed down again, because he thought that he could only say that he was suspicious now and could not confirm the other party's identity. If he made a mistake, he might be alert to the scene. If he wanted to kill Li Yuanhao in the future, he might have to work hard to develop his military equipment and then attack the city of Xingzhou.

The next morning, Li Zhang sent a wild dog out again to stare at the camp where the boy lives. However, the wild dog found that the other party did not leave. Instead, he came to the Neicheng at noon as yesterday, then had a meal and a drink at the Tokyo Building, and wandered around the Neicheng in the afternoon to buy things, and then went back when it was getting late.

In the next few days, the boy was like this almost every day. From this we can see that the boy's life was extremely regular, and the wild dog did not notice that the other party was inquiring about the Musket Camp, which made Li Zhang a little doubt whether he had guessed wrong? Because in his vision, after the reputation of the Musket Camp was spread, Li Yuanhao was so concerned about the situation in the Song Dynasty and would definitely come to check it out, but this young man who was suspected of Li Yuanhao did not have such a move, but seemed more interested in the border market.

Of course, Li Zhang has not been waiting all the time these days, and the rectification of the border city has begun. He is responsible for the planning and Kingsoft is responsible for the implementation. However, before starting to rectify the border city, most of the officials in the border city were removed because these officials have deep interests in the border city. If they are allowed to stay, they will only secretly obstruct Li Zhang's rectification of the border city. After all, this has affected their interests.

However, Li Zhang was not afraid of offending others, and his backing was tough. Not only did Cao Wei support him, but he also had Liu E a big backer. Therefore, even those officials had to keep a slap in the local ranks at this time.

After the newly transferred officials took office, Li Zhang immediately began to divide border cities into several areas. These areas were mainly divided according to the type of transaction goods. In fact, these special commercial areas spontaneously appeared in the border cities before, but the boundaries were blurred and the distribution was unreasonable. Now Li Zhang simply re-planned it to make it more reasonable.

For example, when trading cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, they must be in a specific area outside the border city, which is convenient for management. At the same time, these livestock no longer run around, which greatly improves the sanitary conditions in the border city, rather than being covered with cattle and horse manure as before.

Of course, when re-dividing the area, we also encountered considerable resistance. The key is that some local tyrants in the border market collect money. They divide their own sphere of influence. If others want to trade their territory, they have to pay them part-time money. Now that the government re-dividing the area, they naturally cut off their financial resources, so these people have joined forces to cause trouble.

However, Li Zhang was not ruthless about these people. He directly sent Cao Ma to lead his troops to capture all of these people, and then threw them to the iron ore to mine. No matter who there was behind them, Li Zhang did not give any mercy at all, because he had already made a noise before, but these people quit early. Now he naturally wants to establish his authority with these people.

Li Zhang's thundering methods finally scared many people. The next step of his rectification in the border city was indeed much smoother. Of course, there were still many difficulties, such as public security issues. There were too many Hu people in the border city. These people have lived in a lawless environment since childhood. Whoever has a big fist makes sense, so they have long been accustomed to solving problems with violence.

Li Zhang's methods were also very simple and crude in dealing with these people. As the saying goes, he used heavy punishments in troubled times. After setting rules for banning fights in the border market, everyone who dared to take action was arrested by patrol soldiers. Then according to the situation, the whip made of cowhide was stained with salt water. Once the whip was whipped, the skin would be blooming. No matter how strong a tough guy was, he would scream repeatedly. If he was thirty or fifty whip, the weaker one would even have to throw his life away.

Under such severe punishment, the public security of border cities has improved rapidly, and the streets are no longer as stinking as before. This is just the beginning. As the rectification deepens, border cities will become more prosperous and at the same time transform into a normal town.

While rectifying the border market, the wild dog kept staring at the boy. The other party seemed to have left for a while, but they soon came back. However, the other party was very careful. Li Zhang could not confirm whether the other party was Li Yuanhao. In the end, Li Zhang finally couldn't wait, so he decided to go further and meet the other party in person for a while!
