Chapter 193
(The fifth update is here, 300 monthly tickets plus updates!)
Zhang Xutuo came later among the guests, he is distinguished, and the second in command of the county, he should come later.Many guests heard the news and greeted them with greetings.

Zhang Xutuo nodded to everyone, said a few words, and looked at Luo Cheng.

Then come over here.

"Shi Cheng."

"Teacher." Luo Cheng hastily bowed his hands in greeting.

"You have been in Licheng for a few days, and I have been busy with business, so I don't have time to spend time with you. Today is Shubao's happy day, and I will have a drink with me later." Zhang Xutuo patted Luo Cheng on the shoulder and said.

"Teacher, these are friends of cousin Shubao. Let me introduce you to them. Cao Dirang of Dongjun County, Huang Junhan of Quyu of Dongjun County, Cheng Yaojin, Captain of Dong'a County of Jibei County."

"And this is Xu Shiji, the captain of Lihu County, Dongjun County, and Shan Xiongxin, the captain of Jiyin County, Jiyin County."

Zhang Xutuo nodded with everyone.

Among the crowd, that is, Zhai Rang is from the seventh rank, and the rest are basically similar to Luo Cheng, all of whom are in the county military system.Cheng Yaojin, Luo Cheng, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji are all county and county military captains.

Of course, there is another characteristic of these people, that is, they are all children of local tyrants.

In the past, each family was a family of officials and officials, who served Wei and Qi for generations, but now most of them are local tyrants, with thousands of mu of fertile land and many servants.

For example, Xu Shiji, his family is the richest man in Dongjun County. There are thousands of child servants in his family, tens of thousands of millet in the granary, and ten thousand mu of fertile land.His father, Xu Gai, was also a well-known benevolent person nearby. He was well-known far and near, and he was very famous in the local area for his willingness to do good deeds.

Zhang Xutuo is the prefect of the county, and also a nobleman from Guanlong. He is of two different classes from Zhai Rang, the Shandong tycoons.Like many Guanlong nobles, Zhang Xutuo had some contempt for these Shandong tyrants.

The aristocratic bureaucrats in the Sui court actually had a chain of contempt.

For example, the Guanlong nobles despised the Guandong gentry, and the Guandong gentry looked down on the Jiangnan gentry, and of course the Jiangnan gentry looked down on those local tyrants.

And the local tyrants looked down on those children from poor families, and those from poor families looked down on ordinary farmers and merchants.

In fact, if it is pushed back a hundred years, the Guandong gentry will stand at the top and look down on the military leaders of the six towns. In the end, it reversed and wiped out the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi who claimed to be orthodox in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

But perhaps seeing that Luo Cheng had a good conversation with these people, Zhang Xutuo actually asked them to accompany them at the table after confessing for a while.

At the dinner table, Zhai Rang and the others praised Qi Junjun for doing a good job, especially Wang Bo's rebellion, which was put down in such a short period of time. Even Changbai Mountain, a place where refugees and bandits gather all year round, was cleaned up. clean.

"In our East County, the Yellow River is on the one hand and the other is water, and water bandits are also rampant. There is also a Wagang in the county, where bandits are often moaned and gathered, and they are not clean, and they can't be eliminated." The security situation also felt very troublesome.

Both the Yellow River and Jishui are important water transportation routes. Ships run on the water all year round, transporting various goods and materials. Water thieves stare at the river and rob them from time to time, making Dongjun very passive.

Even Wagang has now become a den of thieves, and it will be wiped out every once in a while, but it will be reborn when the spring breeze blows.

"Our situation in Jibei County is similar. There are many water thieves and it is difficult to eliminate them." Cheng Yaojin also said.

Xu Shiji's family is in Dongjun, but on the northeast corner of Dongjun, east of here is Dongping County, Dongping County has a huge lake named Juyeze, and there is a Liangshan beside Juyeze.

Well, a big fire broke out later, and the water entered Juyeze. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, this place has become a water park of [-] miles in Liangshan.

This is also a place where thieves and bandits gather, especially since these counties are on the banks of the Yellow River and Jishui, it is convenient for the water thieves to come and go.

While chatting with them, Luo Cheng also discovered a situation.

That is, Cheng Yaojin, Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin and other local tyrants who served as captains of the county and county soldiers did not actually want to be officials at all, their purpose was to protect their families.

These few people are among the top rich and powerful in the local area, and they are the most threatened because of the many bandits.Give some money and food, and then ask the county for the title of captain or school lieutenant of the county soldiers and township regiment, and then hundreds of troops can be organized.

These hundreds of people are mainly to protect their own property and go to the countryside by the way.

Therefore, most of the county-run and township regiments they brought were recruited from their own families and villagers, and then paid most of the money and food themselves, which was equivalent to raising a security regiment.

Luo Cheng was very envious of their rich and powerful behavior.

But after a discussion at the table, Cheng Yaojin and the others admire and are very interested in the current model of Luo Cheng's county barracks.

The cost of raising hundreds of people is indeed not small, even for powerful locals like them, it is too much for them.The county barracks in Zhangqiu County not only don't have to lose money, but can even make money.

"Fifth Brother Luo." Old Cheng is a familiar man. After eating a meal, he no longer regards Luo Cheng as an outsider.

"Your Zhangqiu County Barracks is really amazing. You can fight and do it. It doesn't cost much. You must teach me this method someday. Otherwise, after the banquet here is over, you can follow me Go to Dong'e for a few days, and you should take a good look at my county barracks for your brother, and see if there is any way to rectify it."

Luo Cheng hurriedly said, "Actually, my Zhangqiu County Barracks is what it is today, thanks to the strong support of my teacher, Zhang Juncheng, and the full support of our County Magistrate Zhang and County Captain Du."

"Brother Luo, you don't have to worry. As long as you teach your brother the method, as for the support from the counties, he will definitely be able to get you."

Although Xu Shiji was young, his tone was the loudest. "Fifth Brother, if you do Xu Shiji a favor and integrate my Lihu County camp, so that they can keep the bandits at bay, then brother, I'll give you twenty good horses!"

Shan Xiongxin did not show weakness, "Grand Mao will give you twenty good horses, and I will also give you twenty good horses. If you help second brother, I will also rectify my county barracks."

Looking at him like that, Huang Junhan couldn't help but get hot.

"Brother Zhai, you said that if I go back, please order me to bring a county barracks. Big brother will help me. At that time, I will also ask Brother Luo Wu to help me rectify it. When I turn around, I will take the county barracks and wipe him out. Two gangs of thieves, so you can earn some credit?"

Zhai Rang said with a smile, "Of course it's okay if you have such a heart. My brother can definitely help with this."

"Brothers, I, Luo Cheng, are young and inferior, so I dare not praise and brag in front of you. If you want to know how our county barracks train, you can follow me to Zhangqiu to have a look. The details, You can see it at a glance."

Cheng Yaojin simply said, "It's okay to go to Zhangqiu to have a look, then it's settled, if something happens here, brother will let you go to Zhangqiu to have a look."

"Then I'll go and have a look too." Shan Xiong said.

Naturally, Huang Junhan and Xu Shiji also said to go.
