Chapter 20
"Then you don't need to call me Zhang Tongmen. Listening to the birth, you can call me Zhang Wei. You are taking the family to patrol. What's going on?" Zhang Wei said strangely.

At this moment, Sun Chao smiled, and he said proudly: "Brother Zhang, the family gave me a postman to fill the gap. I didn't feel itchy for a while, so I brought the family members to experience the experience."

Hearing this, Zhang Wei suddenly realized.He looked at those servants, and they all looked like they were capable. It seemed that they were Sun Chao's future team.

In this world, the magistrate is the head of a county.And under the honor of this county, there are three high-level helpers.

These three people are the master clerks who are in charge of the money and food affairs of a county.The county lieutenant who mastered the military bravery of a county.In the end, it was Lord Yicheng who mastered the matter of patrolling and arresting horses in a county.

Different from the ancient times that Zhang Wei knew, this world postman is not the kind of petty official, but one of the three local giants.

The public security in the county is in charge of the fast-tracking squad of the county government, and the public security outside the county is in charge of the post.Why is this, everything is because of the horse.

The area outside the county seat is vast, and if you want to come and go quickly, you must have a horse.The inn is where the horses are raised.A county usually has four post stations in the south, south, and northwest, all of which are managed by the post chief.The usual official correspondence and official exchanges are all handled by the post station.

It stands to reason that this is a reception unit and should not have such a strong authority.but!But this is a world with goblins.

Most fairies come and go like the wind. If there is no horse chasing, how can they outrun four-legged fairies relying on human feet?

The post station was built outside the city, and it was a bridgehead to face the wild goblins. For the above reasons, the post station was not just a reception unit, but evolved into a military unit.

Its military characteristics are different from the military bravery mastered by the county commander. In understandable terms, the county commander controls the reserve force, which is a vast source of troops.

The Yicheng is the elite army in active service, which is a standing and well-trained professional soldier.

The post of Yicheng is so important. Because it is very important, there are many people who value this position. It is also a high-risk position.In order to prevent the accidental death of the postmaster from causing confusion in management, multiple postmasters can be set up locally to fill up positions.

This position does not receive wages, and when the postman dies unexpectedly, the postman fills the position directly and becomes the current postman.If the postman is killed in a row, the postman will continue to rise until the last postman dies.

From this point of view, why is Sun Chao still catching up with such a dangerous position?
On the one hand, Sun Chao likes it.On the other hand this position is really powerful.The county magistrates in the city said what they said, and the postmasters outside the city said it. This is basically an unspoken rule.

And being a postmaster, postmaster can learn to lead troops to patrol the place and get familiar with the business in advance.You can also use the military horses of the post station for free, and learn the tactics of the post station for free.This is a position that many talents like.

In this world, force has never been vulgar.Only those who have no power to hold a chicken will be ridiculed.

That's why Sun Chao was so happy when he got this position.

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Then congratulations to Brother Sun."

Sun Chao smiled embarrassedly. Although this person is a child of everyone, he is obsessed with practicing martial arts, and his nature is not bad.

He asked curiously, "Where is Brother Zhang going?"

Zhang Wei pointed to the front and said, "Zhangjia Village, I'm going back to my hometown."

He looked at the sky and said to Sun Chao, "It's getting late, can you still go back to the city in time?"

Sun Chao shook his head and said, "It must be too late. I am the only one in this group with horses, but we also have to camp in the wild. This is also a training."

Zhang Wei pondered for a while, then said: "If Brother Sun doesn't mind, you can go to Zhangjia Village. My family has a manor in the village, and it's okay to accommodate you."

"Is this true? Then I'm welcome!" Sun Chao was overjoyed.

Camping in the wild in this world is not a simple and romantic thing, but it involves risking his life. Although it is training, Sun Chao is still unwilling to do such dangerous training.

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "My family can still talk in the village, and they live in my manor. It's nothing."

In ancient times, it was not easy for a large group of people to stay in a village.The people in the village have to guard against whether you are bad people, and if a large group of people come in, the village may not be able to entertain them.

Ancient times are not modern times, and they cannot be compared in terms of public security and resources.

With Zhang Wei as the leader, Sun Chao greeted his servants and followed behind Zhang Wei.

Along the way, Zhang Wei and Sun Chao advanced side by side.Sun Chao said, "Brother Zhang doesn't have a horse yet."

Zhang Wei shook his head, the world's horses are similar to supercars, both in terms of price and identity.

Although the Zhang family is not short of money to buy horses, they are also not short of qualifications to buy horses.After all, Father Zhang is also a donor.Not to mention Zhang Wei, a genuine student.

But Zhang Wei's original body couldn't ride a horse at all, so the matter of buying a horse is naturally not to be mentioned.

Sun Chao showed such an expression as he expected, and then said: "Brother Zhang is already in good health, so naturally he needs a horse. Usually a talented person buys a horse, so he can only buy a foal at the station and raise it himself. Wait until the horse can ride it. It will take several years. But the head of the South Post is my second uncle, and I can buy an adult horse for you, so you can ride it directly."

Hearing his words, Zhang Wei just smiled and did not agree.His father can also do this kind of thing, there is no need to accept a favor from Sun Chao just because of such a trivial matter.

He smiled and said, "My father will handle this matter, and I don't need to worry about it." This was a polite refusal.

When Sun Chao heard this, he smiled and said, "It's okay, that's what I said anyway. If Brother Zhang needs me, you can find me."

Along the way, Sun Chao seemed a little humble, and he kept getting close to Zhang Wei.No way, in this world, academic masters also have privileges.Zhang Wei's status as a nephew will make people look at him highly wherever he goes.

A group of people walked, and finally, just before sunset, they entered a mountain col and came to a village.

The village is built along the mountain, and the limited flat land at the foot of the mountain is all cultivated to grow crops, and some oil crops are planted on a small amount of slopes. Although these oil crops are more valuable, in the minds of farmers, these oil crops can only be This kind of sloping land is planted with good water, and it is to grow crops.

Soon after Zhang Wei arrived, people from the village came out to greet him, and the servant who drove the carriage had already gone to inform the patriarch.

The villagers gathered around and looked at Zhang Wei with a pleasing smile on their faces.This is not because Zhang Wei's family is rich, but because Zhang Wei is the first scholar in their old Zhang family for hundreds of years!
