(Thank you from Kai and Soul Milian for your reward, thank you!)

Late autumn.

Cold night.

Luo Cheng walked on the wall of Zhangqiu County. The city had only been built for thirty years, but the walls had already looked very dilapidated. It was so gray that it could not even see the color of the original rammed earth.

A two-meter-high city wall is not very high.

Moreover, the city wall is very thin, there is no urn city or corner tower, and there is not even the sheep and horse wall in front of the city wall. There is only one dry trench. Because it has not been dredged for a long time, there are many silt sections.

There was also a section of the city wall with several collapsed gaps, which were blocked with stones and wooden blocks, and then weaved a bamboo fence to block them.

It is said that this collapsed place was when the world was not unified in the early years and the soldiers and bandits were rampant and destroyed by the soldiers and bandits. Speaking of which, because Zhangqiu County is at the foot of Changbai Mountain, when it comes to chaos, the deep mountains are the source of chaos. When chaos arises, Zhangqiu County will be the first to be hit.

On the city wall, the county and township soldiers took over the shift and stood in groups of three or three to watch the night.

Although the duty to guard the county town was attributed to the Duwei Jia Runpu and his county soldiers, Luo Cheng was still not very relieved. The county corps had 500 people, but if these people were really not as good as his 200 town soldiers.

After all, these county soldiers are just people who were temporarily transferred from the countryside. They are a kind of servants. Each of them takes turns to serve as a month without wages or food. Even the food for the month that comes to the rotation has to be brought from their own homes to the regiment and then eat a big pot of rice.

The personnel were also uneven, including an old man with a white hair, and a 14 or 15-year-old boy. Even a few young and strong men were still relatively thin, and few of them really knew how to fight and fight.

I haven't even trained a few times, let alone weapons and equipment.

Such a group of people cannot have much hope for them.

Lao Jia didn't want to give preferential treatment to his group of people, but there was no food or salary from the top of him. Lao Jia had to raise all of them, but the county couldn't afford much money to supply them. Therefore, although the group of people was collected in the end, they were just like to do it.

I practice every day, and then I'll just wait for a month to go home.

"These people can't do it."

After patrolling the city wall for only a section, Luo Cheng couldn't help but shook his head to Lao Si, "Look at them, they didn't stand, they sat, and were on duty to watch, but they squatted together and chatted in groups of three or three, and they were sleeping and snoring. What's the use of this?"

The fourth brother of the old man said, "Actually, we can't blame them for this. Our brothers in the village have three meals a day, and there are enough porridge in the morning and evening, and there are also two steamed cakes. The pickles are also sufficient. But they only have two meals a day, and there is porridge for each meal, but there is no steamed cake at all. Even the pickles are brought by their own families, and there is no salt."

"During the day, I practice in the morning, I have to dig trenches in the morning, and I have to build the city wall in the afternoon. At night, it's still night. People are not made by iron, so where can I eat and eat."

The fourth brother came over and said, "In the past few days, many county soldiers came over and asked me if I wanted to join our village group. They said that we were well treated, at least we could eat enough. Moreover, our village group also had chores from the yamen and food and salary. They were all used to hard work. They were not afraid of spending their energy. They were not afraid of being tired of training, but they were afraid that it would be of no benefit to just put their efforts."

Luo Cheng was also a little helpless.

"The situation in our village group is a bit special. We still have responsibilities in the third yamen, otherwise we would not have any food and salary. Besides, we also get the money and salary for the yamen yamen. This time we made up our minds to clean up the old yamen runners and made a lot of money. Although most of them have to be handed over to the public, we can only get some when the warehouse has money. Otherwise, we, like Lao Jia, will not be able to pay the money."

"In addition, there are many gangsters in the county town, who are strong and young, and want to join us."

There is no shortage of such people, and they have all kinds of backgrounds, but these people are lazy and unwilling to accept discipline. Luo Cheng is unwilling to want such people. His current 200-town teenagers are mostly from farmers' families, and they are more honest and dedicated. They give everyone a full meal and provide another portion of money and food, so everyone will happily follow him.

He shook his head and said, "The weather is getting colder and colder. It is especially hard to work at night. The cow I killed, and the skeleton is still there. I just ordered some bone stew. Although there is not much meat on the bone, it is stewed for more time. The bone stew is the thickest and most fragrant. Sprinkle some salt and add some chopped green onions. Drink a little during the night. You will be more energetic."

"That's great. It's a bit cold at night. Drinking some hot soup is enough to warm up your body." Lao Si rubbed his hands and smiled, "Xiao Wu, those butchers used to do this beef and meat sale, and I heard that it's very profitable. Now that we have caught people, no one has done this stall. This is a headache for Zhangqiu and several nearby counties who want to eat beef."

Luo Cheng turned his head and looked at the fourth brother, "What do you think?"

"I mean, this kind of thing is actually on the table, and everyone knows it. Now that I have caught a group, another group will definitely appear in a while. This is a business that is profitable and will not be interrupted. Instead of being cheaper for others, it is better for us to do it ourselves. I have calculated that this business is really good. We can make it bigger. At that time, we can supply these counties and nine counties. It is probably not enough to kill a cow a day. If it is bigger, we will definitely have a hundred stakes a month."

"Don't think about this." Luo Cheng shook his head.

"Why?" Luo Si was dissatisfied, "You don't want to do it, I will do it myself."

"You dare!"

Luo Cheng glared at Lao Si, "I want to have some serious things, don't always think about wrong ways. We have just arrived now, and I don't know how many eyes are staring at us in secret. Are you trying to hand someone a knife?"

"Okay, I'll send someone to send me a cow bone soup later. If you patrol a few more times, the duty will depend on our own brothers in the village. The county soldiers are unreliable."

"It's cold and frost on the night, can there be really no eye-opening bandits dare to come?"

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of one. Be careful of sailing a ten thousand-year-old ship. If there is any loss, I'll just ask. Don't blame me for not talking about brotherly ties at that time."

"Don't worry, if I'm here, I'll kill one, and I'll cut a pair of two." The fourth brother patted his chest and said.

Under the night, in a private house in the south of the city.

In the closed house, only a dim oil lamp was lit.

"How is it? I'm right. There are loopholes everywhere in Zhangqiu City, but now the Luo surnamed pursues the deficit everywhere and forces people to fill it. Now the warehouse is full of money, grain, and we join forces with our families to do this big money, and we will issue it."

Another person said, "The county town has strict inspections during the day and there are people on duty at night, so it is not easy to do it."

"What's so difficult? Those who guard the city are just recruited mud legs. They can't eat enough every day, so what's the point. As long as we do it, we will be the support of you."
