In order to suppress the disaster of Chaos Ruins as soon as possible, the city lord's palace dispatched a trading team to deliver supplies to the pioneers. The premise of this decision was that the pioneers who originally fought individually had a tendency to become organized when they attacked the palace, thus making them as a whole
Negotiation is possible.
Of course it is possible, but it is an unprecedented attempt for the government to directly support the pioneers. There must be many unforeseen situations during the negotiations. It would be too much to leave such a heavy burden to Rishengchang, a trading company.
It is very heavy, so the government department should also send someone to coordinate the situation. As for the department of the government department that is most familiar with the pioneers, it is naturally the Fangzao Department.
Choosing Secretary Secretary from Fang Zao Si to accompany the pack team for support can, firstly, demonstrate the authority of Liyang Prefecture Secretary, and secondly, it can be repaired at any time in case of failure in negotiations with Shengchang. It really has the advantage of killing two birds with one stone. The female Secretary Wu Zhen proposed to
The city lord's palace put forward such a proposal, which was praised by Li Ru and others.
But when the second young lady of the Wu family expressed her opinion about going with the pack team, the expressions of all the Wu family retainers changed on the spot.
"Are you kidding! No matter what, there is no need to let the young lady take risks!?"
"That's right! If the master knows that the young lady went to Chaos Ruins, we will definitely die miserably!"
From the military attache Cao Xiu to the scholar Li Ru, all the retainers wailed. And their nervousness was justified.
You must know that Liyang Territory was originally developed by the ancestors of the Wu family, and the position of Liyang lord was also held by blood descendants of the Wu family for generations. For hundreds of years, the people of Liyang struggled through many famines under the rule of the Wu family, and finally succeeded
To build today’s prosperous situation,
However, the accidental death of the third young master Wu Shang seven years ago cast a shadow on Li Yangling's future. With Li Yang's father-in-law having no intention of renewing their relationship, Wu Yan and Wu Zhen became the only surviving descendants of the Wu family.
Liyang collar has indescribable value.
And such a noble person actually wants to venture into the Chaos Ruins where wild monsters abound!?
Of course, such a thing is absolutely impossible to accept.
The retainers begged Wu Zhen to change his mind, and even said harsh words like "If you want to go, just step over the dead body first!" However, the female secretary, who had always been gentle to others, for some reason refused this time.
attitude, insisting on going to Chaos Ruins to "confirm with my own eyes" the progress of the strategy.
The retainers had no choice but to report the problem to the acting city lord. They originally expected the heroine Wu Yan to suppress his sister's dangerous proposition with an iron fist, but Wu Yan unexpectedly voted in favor. But Wu Yan then said
The elite palace guards and Wu Zhen were dispatched to escort them, which saved the retainers' hearts from almost stopping.
In this way, the matter of the female secretary's visit to Chaos Ruins was finalized.
The enemies in Liyang Territory are by no means only strange. In order to avoid causing trouble, a group of retainers strongly requested Wu Zhen to hide his identity, so he adopted the previous gray robe and masked attire. Of course, Wu Zhen also understood the painstaking efforts of the retainers, but for her
But there is something that I want to confirm with my own eyes no matter what.
That delinquent son of the master who looked harmless but was actually daring and reckless. Despite repeated warnings and oaths, he still drove a caged cart to the Chaos Ruins for adventure. If he didn't see him safe and sound with his own eyes, Wu Zhen would never be safe in this life.
Neither can feel at ease.
Speaking of which, Wu Zhen had served many pioneers and masters as a secretary, but there was no one person who affected his emotions like this. Sometimes Wu Zhen also wondered why he was so interested in that person, and also
Perhaps the impression of someone as a toddler at the beginning of time travel was too profound, and as a result, the female secretary has been unable to stop caring about his situation since then.
Following the pack team, Wu Zhen had thought that if the attack on Chaos Ruins did not go smoothly, he would have to ask the guards to kidnap someone back to Liyang City. However, when they actually arrived at the grove, Only then did she realize that the situation at the camp was far more peaceful than she expected.
Looking around, the grove saw neither injured people missing arms or legs, nor violent people scolding and fighting each other. On the contrary, those pioneers who believed in the supremacy of strength and were accustomed to speaking with their fists, just like They coexisted harmoniously in the small camp as if they had changed their temper. Although their words were still rude, and although their movements were still casual, the sharp atmosphere of tit-for-tat among the pioneers had disappeared, and even the martial arts competitions were no longer as desperate as before. style.
For Wu Zhen, who was familiar with pioneers, the scene in front of her was enough to make her doubt her own eyes.
Looking at the pioneers drinking wine and eating meat around the campfire, the female clerk had an inexplicable illusion that she was in a pack of wolves.
"How is that possible?"
Wu Zhen shook his head, trying to get rid of the ridiculous feeling in his mind.
The pioneers who drove Lingwu out on the front line of the famine are undoubtedly the most elite armed group in the Chenghuang Kingdom. A pioneer group of only three to five people is enough to exert superior force against the regular army of the territory. Logically speaking, The existence of such uncontrolled and powerful force in the territory should make the rulers feel anxious, but corresponding to their strong strength, the pioneers are also known to the world as lone wolves.
This has become a comfort for the lords of various states to sleep peacefully. However, as far as the lords themselves are concerned, the lone wolf-like habits of the pioneers are still acceptable when used to fight off monsters on a daily basis or deal with small-scale famines. But once they are conquered, When large-scale famines such as desolation and ruins occur in the country, unorganized pioneers rush forward, which will inevitably lead to poor planning and wasted manpower, thereby wasting precious combat power against the famine.
In fact, it is often these large-scale famines that determine the success or failure of a territorial state.
In this sense, whether the superior force of the pioneers can be properly utilized on a group scale is also a serious issue related to the fate of the country. Therefore, from the Shang Dynasty to the local government, many attempts were made to organize the pioneers. Try. However, because the pioneers themselves are a severely exclusive group, whether it is the court or the government, no matter how hard outsiders try, they cannot get the sincere recognition of the pioneers, so their attempts all end in failure.
Distributing commissions to the pioneers through the manufacturing department and then establishing a universally applicable credit system in the form of performance evaluation is the only official measure that can play a role at present, but it is far from "driving the pioneers with the scale of the group" The goal is still very far away.
As secretary, Wu Zhen also built considerable trust with the pioneers who were responsible for negotiations. After truly understanding the temperament of the pioneers, Wu Zhen himself also concluded that it was appropriate to want these capable military envoys to act as a group. Improbable judgment.
But at this moment, right before our eyes, the lone wolves have gathered into a pack.
The pioneers, who refused to accept the offer no matter how hard the government officials tried, camped and rested in the woods in an unheard-of organizational form. Their fearless attitude was like a pack of wolves dominating the wilderness. In nature, a group of The emergence of wolves must meet various conditions, and the most critical one is to have a strong and powerful leader.
