Originally, there was Feng County above Shuangqi Town, which governed four towns. The magistrate of Feng County was directly killed by these local powerful men in front of the county government office because he offended Lijia Village and Wujia Village.
Since then, Feng County has had no county officials at all and can only be managed by the county captain, but this county captain came from Lijia Village.
Lying on the bed, Zheng Gong was in a dilemma. He was reluctant to give up his status and power as a military attache in front of him, but he also wanted to save his head.
After much thought, Zheng Gong finally decided to run away and return to his hometown to remain anonymous and not come out again.
With a flutter, a straw grasshopper landed on Zheng Gong's chest. This was not the first time that Zheng Gong saw this thing. He was very curious and picked up the straw grasshopper. An idea came into his mind.
"There is no end to the road, and the future is bumpy, but in the end there is no danger."
The grasshoppers weaved from straw turned into messy grass blades in Zheng Gong's hands, and in the end no trace could be found.
"Is that expert who lives in seclusion in Shuangqi Town coming to give advice to Engineer Zheng again?"
Zheng Gong immediately became energetic. The first time he saw this thing was when he came to Shuangqi Town as a colonel. The magistrate of Feng County asked each town to turn over money, grain, and commercial taxes as soon as possible.
At the same time, all towns are ordered to report the reserves and production of mineral veins in various places as soon as possible, so as to collect mining taxes at a fixed amount.
Every family and village in Lijia Village does not attach much importance to the fields. The production in this area is just a trivial matter. What they really control is the hidden population and the scale of the mines.
Hiding the population is not a secret in the Yan Kingdom, and wealthy families from all over the country are good at this.
Lijiacun and other villages have another way to make money and preserve their strength, and that is mines. These border mines produce gold, silver, copper and iron, with abundant reserves, as well as soul stones and other things they value most for warriors.
resources.
The move of the Fengxian County Magistrate touched the core interests of Lijia Village and other villages, so he was regarded as a thorn in the side of each family and village. In the end, the magistrate under Zou Jing died at the gate of the county government office.
At that time, Gong Zheng was advised by an expert to stay out of the situation and wait and see what would happen. As a result, out of the four towns under Feng County, only Gong Zheng survived.
The responsible officials in the other three towns either abandoned their posts or disappeared.
This time, Zheng Gong received grasshoppers woven from straw again, and he immediately became energetic.
"Gong Zheng, Gong Zheng, it looks like he is going to offend Lijiacun this time!"
For offending Lijiacun, Zheng Gong could still have a high-sounding excuse, which was to block the guard Zou Jing from the front.
As for offending Zhao Feng, the consequences are very simple. Death is imminent. Guarding Zou Jing on the border is famous for killing military and civilian officials.
Having made up his mind, Zheng Gong found his confidants, secretly left Shuangqi Town, and went to Lijia Village to inform Elder Li, the person in charge of Lijia Village, about his intention to guard Zou Jing.
After making arrangements, Zheng Gong arranged his official duties and sent people out of the town to the place where the demon tribe lived in the north to negotiate with the demon master Mulige.
Then, Shi Shiran went to pay a special visit to Zhao Feng. At this time, Zheng Gong had no ill feelings towards Zhao Feng. The Huiyuan Pill was a good thing and was famous in the entire Demon Yuan world.
This type of elixir is divided into grades according to quality, ranging from second-grade elixirs to fifth-grade elixirs. The Demon Yuan Realm is not a place where strong warriors emerge in large numbers. Third-grade elixirs are already very rare, and fourth-grade elixirs and above are almost legendary.
Zhao Feng gave Zheng Gong a third-grade Huiyuan Pill. With Zheng Gong’s salary, generations of people could not afford one.
Zheng Gong left the official office and went to the street. When he found Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng was taking Xu Huang to take over the demon shop.
And the old man was following Zhao Feng, bargaining somewhere.
"Young man, you must know how to respect your elders. The old man is not relying on his elders. These things are all my favorites. How could you take them all without saying a word? You must leave some, so as not to make people think you are too ugly.
.”
Anyone else would probably drive away or ignore the obstructive old man, but Zhao Feng always felt that this old man was not simple.
"Brother Xu, take away all the ores, medicinal materials, and other unprocessed things, and keep the other things!"
Many people watching the excitement didn't understand why Zhao Feng didn't take away the demon clan's more valuable goods, such as weapons, but only took away unprocessed materials that few people cared about.
"Yes, sir!" Xu Huang agreed, took a big step, and began to search the demon shop for the most basic goods.
Zhao Feng gave Xu Huang a very special storage bracelet. This gadget, which is not considered a treasure, can automatically collect various items according to the owner's wishes.
Ordinary storage rings and other space items require the holder to stand near the items to be collected and use the collection function of the storage equipment to store or take out the items. The distance is usually very close.
As for Xu Huang's storage bracelet, it can automatically collect any unowned items within a hundred meters of the holder. Of course, in addition to supplies such as food and drinking water, this bracelet can also collect ordinary items.
No storage capacity.
For example, ordinary wood, stones, living objects, etc. cannot be stored in it. In addition, the volume is much larger than ordinary storage rings.
Xu Huang collected various basic materials and soon discovered that ordinary quality ores and medicines could not be loaded into the bracelet in his hand. This discovery made Xu Huang almost think that the bracelet was full.
"Captain Zheng, are you here to see Zhao?"
This time, Gong Zheng respectfully faced Zhao Feng and paid homage: "Gong Zheng is under the command of the guard and is waiting for you sir."
Zheng Gong stood up and took out a silver wooden sign. The wooden sign was not big, half a foot long and two inches wide, with words and patterns carved on it.
"Zou Zhenshou has agreed to Mr. Zou's request, and Gong Zheng has also notified Lijia Village and other villages of this matter. In addition, if Mr. Zou needs manpower to build houses, farm, and manage fields, Gong Zheng can recruit them on his behalf according to the order of the guard. The required expenses will be borne by both parties.
Flag Town provides it!”
Zhao Feng was very satisfied with Zheng Gong's answer and nodded in acceptance: "That's very good. I'd like to thank Captain Zheng for running around!"
Seeing that Zhao Feng agreed to stay, Zheng Gong breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Zou Zhenshou ordered Zheng Gong to entertain Mr. Zheng. Within a few days, the warden will come to Shuangqi Town to visit Mr. Zou!"
"Zhao is waiting for you, the guard. Today Zhao is the host and entertains Captain Zheng at the Lujia Restaurant here. I wonder if Captain Zheng is willing to honor him?"
"How dare you, how dare you? Sir, you have made great contributions to the Yan Kingdom. It is up to Zheng Gong to replace Zou Zhen to entertain you. Sir, please!"
Zheng Gong made a gesture of invitation, and his attendants stood aside to clear the way. At this time, the merchants on the street all knew that Zhao Feng had killed the challenging demon envoy and forced away the demon master Mulig. They all admired Zhao Feng very much.
, volunteered to follow the team of Zhao Feng, Zheng Gong and others to build momentum for Zhao Feng.
"I didn't expect that this foreigner, so young, would have such strength. He is really a heroic young man!"
"In this way, Shuangqi Town has finally survived the disaster. You guys would like to propose here, how about we raise some funds and give them to this hero?"
