Nangeng City is now very prosperous, and the people of Nangeng City are very willing to work in the soap factory of the Armed Guards. The people at the bottom who were originally hardened by class oppression have been relieved here.
In the past, commoners like Zhang Weiyu were exploited wherever they went, and taxes were extremely heavy. Whether they could survive or not depended entirely on the mood of the city lord.
But now, there is no need to pay taxes on the wages obtained by entering the Wuweijun soap factory. This is one of Lu Shu's rights as the lord of Nangeng City. This has led to civilians like Zhang Weiyu who are struggling to survive to flock to the soap factory.
Secondly, the wages in the soap factories of the Wuwei Army are not low. Many people have found that as long as they work hard, they can live a good life. Although it is tiring, it is profitable.
Tiredness is unavoidable. Who lives without being tired?
Finally, Zhang Weiyu himself also deeply understands how miserable the common people are. He himself has been victimized by this solidified class, so he treats everyone with a kind heart.
Zhang Weiyu once served as the commander of the Yulong Banzhi for the old god king. It is said that kindness cannot lead the army. However, Zhang Weiyu has always been a kind-hearted person, otherwise everyone would not gather around him to wait for the king's return.
So when Liu Yizhao found a new life as a scout in the Wuwei Army, Zhang Weiyu was actually thinking about what he was more suitable for, instead of continuing to recall his identity as an imperial concubine.
In fact, Zhang Weiyu envied Liu Yizhao. After all, we were all in the Yulong Banzhi together. At that time, Liu Yizhao was still Zhang Weiyu's soldier. But now, Liu Yizhao has gone further and further on the road of letting himself go.
Vaguely, Liu Yizhao already has the reputation of Lu Zhou's number one scout...
Although Yulong Banzhi has become a little scout, is Liu Yizhao unhappy? Zhang Weiyu thinks Liu Yizhao is so happy!
That guy was originally a very heroic young man, but now he often hangs out with a group of people from the armed guards, drinking and eating meat. He has a scary loud voice, and when suppressing bandits, he can almost scream to death.
And there is no need to think too much about anything, just do your duty as a scout, there is no need to command, no need to use your brain...
As for Zhang Weiyu himself, he was also thinking that in fact he didn't really like being in charge of soldiers because he couldn't bear the pain when the soldiers died one by one, as if the lives lost were due to his improper command. This was a kind of torture.
Under normal circumstances, such a person would not be able to become a commander, but it was a little different in the Yulong Banzhi, because the Yulong Banzhi could not kill anyone at that time, and it was difficult to die even if he wanted to.
At that time, Zhang Weiyu's psychological problems had not been exposed, but it is different now. The Wuwei Army has not yet reached the level of Yulong Banzhi.
So recently Zhang Weiyu has been thinking, in fact, he can help manage the affairs of the city lord, manage the soap factory, and fight the war, but just be the commander-in-chief.
In the past, Zhang Weiyu had no choice in the Yulong Banzhi. The God King said that if he was asked to be the commander-in-chief of the Yulong Banzhi, he could only be the commander-in-chief. But now Zhang Weiyu feels that being the commander-in-chief is not good and is not suitable for him.
At this time, Liu Yizhao, Li Heitan and others were chatting around a bonfire in the Military Guards camp. On weekdays, the Wuwei Army only lifted the alcohol ban once every ten days, and it was lifted in batches to prevent everyone from getting drunk.
So when there was no wine to drink, he could only brag around the campfire. Li Heitan suddenly said: "These days are so boring. I don't know when the king will come back. I miss him a little..."
Li Heitan is very simple and upright, because he has a simple mind and says whatever he wants. When Li Heitan, who is usually tall and tall, misses his king, he is like a child waiting for his parents to come back from get off work.
Someone said: "I also hope that the king will come back. Not long ago, we fought with the Black Feather Army every day and caused trouble for the other side. How happy it was. Now that the noble army goes to Xizhou, we have no share. If the king comes back, I think he will
They will take us out, and then we will fight to Xizhou and Xidu... Do you think the king can become the Emperor of Heaven?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and then suddenly became excited: "Let the king be the emperor?!"
Liu Yizhao laughed: "Then Emperor Duanmu Huangqi of the West is the great master of Xizhou. The great master is much more powerful than a first-class master. How can we kill him? If we can't kill him, don't think about this meaningless thing."
"How about we go to the Royal City to find the King?" Li Heitan suddenly said angrily: "A few days ago, a merchant told me that there is a group of bandits six hundred miles east of the Royal City. He hopes that we can help eradicate them..."
Everyone was dumbfounded: "That's more than 20,000 kilometers away from us. Damn it, who made this request to you?"
Now the Armed Guards are a veritable bandit-suppression brigade. Most of the bandits in Nanzhou have been defeated by the Armed Guards and have no choice but to become good citizens.
The bandits are also helpless, they really can't beat them!
At this time, the merchants discovered that the Wuwei Army was really powerful. In the past, when people were walking and doing business, if their own slaves were not strong enough, they would have to pay for some wanderers. But now they don’t have to. Everywhere in Nanzhou is safe, and the bandits
It was very frustrating.
Then the merchants discovered that it would not work without the armed guards going out to suppress the bandits. Li Heitan squatted at the city gate all day long and asked the merchants where the bandits were. The armed guards suppressing bandits was simply a hobby!
As a result, many merchants began to take the initiative to tell the armed guards where there were bandits, no matter how far away they were. What if the armed guards went there?
But this time Li Heitan said it was too far away, more than 20,000 kilometers...
Suddenly, Xiao Jixu, who was eating roasted corn next to him, was stunned for a moment, then took out a notebook from his small schoolbag and wrote: "Let's go to suppress the bandits. After the bandits are finished, we will go to the royal city..."
"Hey," Liu Yizhao's eyes lit up, and he understood what Xiao Jixu meant: "Master Jixu is saying that in the name of suppressing bandits, we are actually going to the royal city to see the king?! Master Jixu still has a broad mind!"
Xiao Jixu nodded and wrote: "People who understand!"
"But Lao Zhang will not agree," Liu Yizhao said with a bit of regret: "He is not a fool. The Royal City is a very complicated place, and he will definitely not let the armed guards take risks."
However, at this moment, Zhao Shuai, the chief priest of Songji Gambling House, flew from the north. Liu Yizhao stood up and said, "Zhao Shuai is here, but there is no wine for the Wuwei Army today."
Zhao Shuai has been stationed in Nangeng City frequently during this period, so he has had a lot of dealings with the Wuwei Army and is familiar with each other.
Zhao Shuai went straight to the point and said: "Something happened to your leader in the royal city!"
Duanmu Huangqi's incident against Lu Shu has spread like wildfire. After all, the battle between the two great masters in the royal city that day was really huge.
