This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 171 Farewell
City Lord's Mansion.

Zhang Ke hurried into the courtyard gate.

"Zhang Baifu, your lord has already rested."

Zhao Xi appeared suddenly and reached out to stop Zhang Ke.

Isn't it not long after returning to the city lord's mansion, the lord took a rest?
Zhang Ke hurriedly said: "Zhao Xi, help me to call my lord."

"If it's not urgent, don't call your lord."

Zhao Xi frowned and rejected Zhang Ke.

Zhang Ke was patient, and said to him: "If it's not urgent, will I come to the adults? You go in and report, I have my own measure."

Zhao Xi still didn't want to go in and wake Cao Su up.

Just when he was in trouble, he heard a deep voice coming from the courtyard.

"Zhao Xi, open the door."

Zhang Ke also heard it, showing joy, and proudly passed Zhao Xi directly and walked into the door.

In the courtyard, Cao Su sat at the stone table, his body was steaming hot and white.

This Zhao Xi is talking nonsense again, my lord obviously hasn't rested yet.
Too diligent, it’s all over, and I’m still practicing.

Zhang Ke saw Cao Su and said, "My lord, something has happened."

"What else?"

The night was long, Cao Su didn't want to sleep, and he rested in the pavilion after practicing for a while, just in time to hear Zhang Ke rushing over again.

Zhang Ke whispered: "My lord, Zhou Qing is back."

Cao Su knew that Zhou Qing had gone after the thief.

Looking at Zhang Ke like this, is there something wrong with Zhou Qing, or is something wrong with the thief?

"Zhou Qing was severely injured. Now he is lying in the main hall. I have asked the doctor to see him. I don't know how many bones are broken in his whole body. It will not recover in a few months."

When Zhang Ke said this, Cao Su got up suddenly.

Dare to do it?
Cao Su was very surprised. The martial artist from Lingzhou was a little more arrogant than he imagined.

Cao Su said solemnly: "Zhou Qing must not die, let the doctor save him with the best medicine."

"In addition, starting tomorrow, we will step up inspections in the city to find out where those thieves are staying."

Your lord is ready to deal with them?
Zhang Ke's spirit lifted, and he clasped his fists.

The next day, the sky was bright.

After a crazy night, the residents of Dengcheng opened their doors to welcome a new day.

People can see that the street has long since returned to its former hustle and bustle.

Security was strengthened at the gate of the city, and a large number of rebel soldiers gathered at the gate, conducting detailed checks on everyone who passed by.

Among this crowd, many people were locked up outside the city overnight, and they were going to enter the city at dawn.

As a result, when I entered the city, I felt very uncomfortable when I encountered such a strict interrogation.

And because the investigation was very detailed and there was only one passage, the people entering and leaving the city formed a long queue.

The people complained a lot.

"What's going on? What is the government army doing?"

"What does it mean to block us here in broad daylight?"

"Is there any more Wang Fa? Wow, I will refund the money, and I will not go out!"

Just when the people were arguing.

On the official road in the north of the city, a clear and melodious camel bell suddenly sounded.

Then, a caravan of camels drove slowly from the official road.

Camel Merchant!

Businessmen riding camels have a lot of background.

After the war broke out, Dengcheng may not have seen a camel merchant from afar for a long time.

The arrival of these camel traders has attracted the attention of many people.

Flowers rain on the Silk Road, and cotton silk is transported by camel bells.

The camel merchants carried their goods all the way to the city gate.

The rebellious army at the gate of the city increased their workload a lot.

There are too many goods, and it takes a lot of time to open and inspect each box.

"The merchant, are you going to the south?"

Seeing the dusty appearance of the camel traders, the city gate order asked curiously.

The camel merchant smiled and replied: "No, my lord, we will go to Dengcheng at the southernmost point, and if we hear that there is war, we will not go further south."

"What are you doing in Dengcheng?"

"I heard that Dengcheng is rich in ores. We plan to buy some ores here. At the same time, I heard that people here also like our goods. We plan to sell some goods here."

Most people in this world do business by pulling from the south to the north, and from the east to the west, to make a difference.

Camel traders are no exception.

It's just that they transport more goods than ordinary Central Plains merchants, take longer business routes, and earn more profits.

The city gate order nodded and said: "The city is under martial law for the past two days. After entering the city, you should be careful and don't run around."

The camel merchant thanked the city gate order with a smile, and then pulled the camel.

"Da da da da" into the city.

The sound of camel bells wafts through the streets and alleys.
A few days later, the martial law in Dengcheng ended.

After searching for several days, the Dengcheng rebel army found nothing and gave up looking for the fugitive.

Cao Su ordered Master Xu to write a notice and posted it at the gate of the city.

It means that the suspect, Chen An, was taken away by a strongman. According to the Qianyuan law, he was ordered to surrender to the government office within three days, otherwise he would be dealt with as "absconding in fear of crime" and charged with intentional homicide.

As soon as this notice was posted, everyone knew that it was the young master of the Chen family who ran away a few days ago.

The residents of Dengcheng didn't like this young master at all.

I thought that when Master Qingtian came, someone would punish him for his crime.

Unexpectedly, this young master ran away by himself, what a scumbag.

The poor little daughter-in-law of the Gu family is still waiting at home, wanting to wait for the result of a conviction from the government.

The crime is condemned, but what's the use of running away?

Everyone can only condemn him in name and spirit and morality, but actually cannot punish him in any way.

The Gu family is really miserable.
Cao Su, who solved this trivial matter, has a skyrocketing reputation in Dengcheng.

Even though he obviously didn't do anything, people thought Mr. Cao was a good person. It would be better if Mr. Cao stayed in the city for a long time. The city must be clean and upright, full of fairness and justice.

A few days later, Cao Su led the four major families and many big families in the city to hold the first mining association meeting.

There is no doubt that everyone is blindfolded.

Especially when Cao Su took out a bunch of association regulations, all the families were confused and only knew how to nod and applaud.

Under a burst of joyful and intense applause, all agenda items were approved by applause.

No downvotes, no comments.

Who dares to have an opinion at this time?Whoever has an opinion is against so many families in Dengcheng.

It is public outrage.

After the establishment of the Mining Association, the major families in Dengcheng obtained the permits and began to organize their manpower to march into the mountains.

The mountains on both sides of the entire Dengcheng are said to be mine mountains that can be deeply excavated.

Among them, copper-iron ore is the main component.

In order to mine, the major families generally organize three teams of mining team, guard team and logistics team in one team. They need to report to the Mining Association for approval before they can enter the mountain to mine.

Each team that enters the mountain to mine must first pay a certain amount to the association to determine the scope of mining for one year.

According to Cao Xiaowei, this is called "use right".

The ownership of the mine belongs to all the people in Dengcheng, not to an individual or family.

Individuals and families can register with the association, obtain the contracting qualification of a certain mine, be responsible for the management and development of the mine, and have the "contracting right" of the mine.

Contracting right, ownership and use right, separation of three rights.

The person who manages, the person who nominally owns and the person who finally executes mining are perfectly separated and independent, forming a delicate and balanced triangular structure.

The premise is that there is a mining association for coordination and management.

Most people don't understand the meaning of the separation of powers created by Xiaowei Cao.

However, most people understand that now the entire Dengcheng is tied to the mining cart of the Mining Association, and everyone has the opportunity to enter the mountain to mine and mine, and Dengcheng enters the barbaric mining progress.

On the second day after the establishment of the Mining Association, there were teams entering the mountain.

That night, the mining team of the mine spread the good news that more than 300 catties of copper ore and more than 100 catties of iron ore had been unearthed!

The world is in constant war, and copper and iron ore are in great demand.

The copper and iron ore dug out were directly transported back to the city, and the blacksmith shops in the entire city were operating at full capacity to convert the copper and iron ore into weapons.

Of course, more raw materials were sold to merchants in the city.

It is then sold by merchants to other cities.

"The road to Dengcheng is difficult, which has destroyed Dengcheng's original good market sales. If Dengcheng wants to develop, the first thing is to repair the official road."

Cao Su conveyed such an idea to several families in the city lord's mansion.

This made the big families seem more hesitant.

There are many mountain roads in the city, especially the more north you go, the more mountain roads there are.

So in the past, it was better to go south in Dengcheng.

"I'm just giving you a suggestion, whether you fix it or not is your own business."

"The government won't be able to control so much for a while, and the new city lord is still far away. You'd better make complete preparations."

Cao Su said with a smile.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone ascended the city and several big families immediately understood Cao Su's implication.

The old Chen family said in a deep voice: "Master Cao is going to leave Dengcheng?"

He asked Cao Su on behalf of several major families, and everyone focused on Cao Su.

Cao Su smiled and nodded.

"I have been resting for a long time after ascending the city. A few days ago, General Wang sent someone to issue a military order to me, ordering me to rush to Yuzhou to join the battle before July."

"It's almost June now, and it's not right for our army to stay in Dengcheng. It's time to leave."

"Everyone, climbing the city is the climbing of the city. The future of climbing the city should still be in your own hands. Don't waste this great opportunity."

After Cao Su finished speaking, the big families fell silent.

In all fairness, Cao Su was like a mountain, pressing on their heads, making them breathless.

But at the same time, Cao Su is an excellent leader. He has rectified the entire mining industry in Dengcheng, which has been in chaos for a long time. As a result, Dengcheng has undergone significant changes.

Even the Chen family, who had a slight conflict with Cao Su, had to admit that the cake drawn by Cao Su was too big.

And he is actually willing to let the whole city take a share, he is simply a great talent, and his personal demeanor is admirable.

Old Chen asked: "My lord, what about the president of the Mining Association?"

"I told you earlier that the association is a non-union alliance. According to the charter, the president has a three-year term. If you recognize me as the president, then I will be the president. If you don't recognize me after I leave, then I will not Be the chairman."

After Cao Su said this, several big families laughed.

Mr. Chen was the first to stand up and salute: "Lord Cao, you are the only leader of the four major families. You are the president of this position, and you must do your part. Everything in the association should be done in accordance with the regulations."

"That's right, that's the reason. We must act in accordance with the regulations."

Several families joined in one after another.

Cao Su knew that the association had just been established, and they would definitely not take the lead in breaking the association's charter.

In the future, this city will be a huge raw material production city.

Any city lord who comes here will not change this situation, otherwise it will be against the people of the whole city.

And as the president of the Mining Association, he will always enjoy the great blessings brought by this title.

Chairman Cao was also very moved when he saw the reluctance of the big families.

He coughed dryly and said, "Unfortunately, I heard that Lingzhou has been in turmoil recently. I don't know if the mountains are high and the rivers are far away during this march, and whether the luggage is enough or not."

Several big families immediately heard Cao Su's implication.

Old Chen said sternly: "My lord, to defend the country and eliminate thieves by fighting against the rebellious army, you have made great contributions to the country. As one of the four major families in Dengcheng, I would like to donate some money and food to the rebellious army as a meager effort."

After hearing this, several other families also nodded domineeringly: "That's right, don't worry, my lord, we will guarantee the money and food!"
