Chapter 148 I'm Not a Running Dog

When Zhen Jian was still struggling with the use of "people's hearts".

Soon, he received the answer.

As if aware of his doubts, the warning voice of the Myriad Realms system sounded again:
"Only by gaining the support and love of the people in the territory will you gain the hearts of the people. Normally, a citizen can only contribute a little heart and soul in his life, which is very precious.

Of course, if the lord's actions hurt them and let them live in dire straits, without any sense of happiness and satisfaction, you will lose the popular support they contributed and be taken back by them. "

Hearing this, Zhen Jian nodded secretly, oh, it turns out that this is how people's hearts were won.

But what is the use of people's hearts?
At this time, the Myriad Realms system continued to prompt:
"People's support is a necessary condition for raising the level of a lord, and it is also the main condition for establishing an arsenal."

"Your current lord level: Baron
Next lord level: Viscount.

Upgrade conditions: 10 popularity and 10 glory points. "

After listening to the prompts from the Myriad Realms system, this time, Zhen Jian thoroughly understood the methods and uses of people's hearts.

People's hearts can be used to upgrade the lord's level and build an arsenal.

Thinking of this, Zhen Jian hurriedly went back to look at the lord interface, and found that there was no option to build an arsenal.

He couldn't help but wonder, "Why is there no option to build an arsenal? Could it be that my level is not enough? It should be like this!"

Thinking of the glory points obtained before, they have been temporarily stored in the email by the system.

Obviously, he hasn't even activated the use of glory points, otherwise, the data column of glory points will be added in his personal center.

"My lord, my lord..."

Suddenly, Zhen Jian felt someone calling him.

In an instant, his consciousness was withdrawn from the Myriad Realms system in his mind.

Looking back, he found that Uncle Fu was looking at him eagerly, "Master, you see that everyone has been kneeling for so long, don't you..."

Hearing this, Zhen Jian suddenly realized, and hastily said loudly: "Wait, don't, everyone, get up quickly."

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

Seeing that the lord finally spoke, the group of serfs who had knelt for a few minutes under the high platform breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing their sore knees one by one, and standing up like a tide.

When everyone stood up, Uncle Fu said loudly again: "The new lord is invited to give a speech..."

As soon as the voice fell, a soft "tick" sound was heard, and a drop of rain fell from the sky.

Looking at the dark clouds, Zhen Jian had a dark feeling that it was going to rain heavily.

Thinking of this, he walked to the front of the high platform, looked at the thousands of serfs under the stage, and waved his hands without any nonsense: "It's going to rain soon, and those who don't want to get caught in the rain should go home quickly, and we can talk about it next time if we have something to say. .I don't want to be the first new lord to be drenched right after taking office!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience burst into laughter immediately.

In an instant, these serfs developed a good impression of the newly appointed lord lord.

"Let's go, everyone, go home..."

Zhen Jian really didn't have the patience to accompany them in the rain, so he ordered the show to end.

With a bang, the black crowd under the stage immediately dispersed and rushed towards their respective residences.

Whoa! ! !
Not long after the crowd dispersed, a torrential rain had been brewing in the sky for a long time, and it poured down. The raindrops rushed down and hit the ground, stirring up a series of dust.

Seeing this scene, Zhen Jian couldn't help but frowned, calling out bad luck.

"Could it be that my first day in office is really going to be drenched?"

At this moment, a group of serfs appeared in the distance of the square, headed by a middle-aged man in a coir raincoat.

The middle-aged man led the group of serfs, all holding umbrellas in their arms, and stepped on the ground, splashing water all over the ground, and rushed towards Zhen Jian.

Someone send an umbrella?Who is so sensible?

Zhen Jian's heart moved, and he immediately led the team to meet the middle-aged man who was rushing towards him.

When the middle-aged man in coir raincoat came to him, he bent down respectfully and said, "Chen Wei, the villain, pays homage to the lord."

"What time is it, get rid of the gift!"

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Wei hurriedly opened the umbrella to cover Zhen Jian. At the same time, the group of people following him handed over the umbrellas they had brought to Ding Yao and the soldiers.

Zhen Jian looked at Chen Wei's middle-aged man in front of him, and found that he had a face with Chinese characters, sharp edges and corners, and piercing eyes. He was different from those serfs with dull expressions.

Suddenly, he remembered what the boy Zhen Zhuang said before. He said that Chen Wei was the lackey of the four warlords and was in charge of managing the entire Black Eagle Town.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pay more attention.

Chen Wei looked at Zhen Jian, and said in a humble tone: "The lord has just taken office, so he must have not had time to find a place to set up the headquarters. It is raining heavily now. If the lord does not dislike it, please move to the residence of the villain. Take shelter from the storm?"

Seeing that he spoke well and was very polite, Zhen Jian nodded in appreciation, "Take us there, but I don't know if there are so many people, can we accommodate?"

Chen Wei said with a smile: "The residence of the villain is next to the barracks. There are many vacant houses there, which are enough to accommodate the entourage of the lord."

"My lord, please go with the villain."

"Okay, I'll hold the umbrella myself, so I don't need to bother you."

Zhen Jian took the umbrella, and with Chen Wei leading the way, the group hurried across the square and walked towards the North Street of Black Eagle Town.

On the way to Chen Wei's house, Zhen Jian asked curiously, "Why is there a barracks in Black Eagle Town?"

Chen Wei nodded and said respectfully, "It was built by the previous lords."

Zhen Jian said: "How big is the barracks and how many people can it accommodate?"

Chen Wei thought for a while, and said: "It can accommodate up to 300 people, but most of the barracks are empty now, only dozens of militiamen are still stationed there."

During the conversation, they had reached the gate of a spacious courtyard.

Zhen Jian looked at Chen Wei's residence. Although it was very simple, it was at least better than most serfs. Moreover, his house occupied a large area, including the front yard, there were at least several hundred square.

"My lord, please!"

Through the front yard is the main hall of Chen Wei's house.

As soon as Zhen Jian stepped over the threshold, he saw more than [-] people, men, women, old and young, standing on both sides of the gate. Needless to say, these were all Chen Wei's family members.

Sure enough, after seeing Zhen Jian, all these family members knelt down and saluted, "Greetings, my lord!"

"Get up."

Zhen Jian waved his hand, turned his head and asked, "Are these your wives, children and grandchildren?"

Chen Wei nodded, "Yes, please sit down, my lord. I have already prepared lunch, and please don't be disgusted with me, my lord."

It is already noon, and everyone is already hungry.

Since Chen Wei prepared lunch so sensiblely, there was no need for them to be polite.

Soon, Chen Wei's wife and children brought the food to the table, and then they retreated sensiblely.

Lunch is relatively simple, mainly noodles and steamed buns, and then a few vegetarian dishes. It seems that Chen Wei's family conditions are also very average.

It is estimated that working for the four major warlords did not make much money.

Zhen Jian buried his head in his meal and ate several times in a row before putting down the bowl and chopsticks.

During this process, Chen Wei did not speak, but watched them eat silently.

After seeing Zhen Jian finished eating, Chen Wei immediately poured hot tea for him, "My lord, use it slowly."

Zhen Jian waved his hand, stared at him for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Do you have something to tell me?"

As soon as this remark came out, Ding Yao immediately stopped the chopsticks in her hand and secretly observed Chen Wei's expression.

Chen Wei nodded, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "My lord took office today, did you hear a lot of bad things about me?"

Zhen Jian didn't admit it, nor denied it, but just looked at him quietly.

Chen Wei met Zhen Jian's gaze resolutely, and said in a deep voice, "Whether the lord believes it or not, I am not a lackey of the Four Great Warlords!"

"Now that the lord is here, I am completely relieved, and I don't have to bear the infamy of a running dog anymore."

Zhen Jian said indifferently: "I just came here, and I am not familiar with everything here. In a short time, it is difficult to judge right from wrong, but there is one thing, you are working for the four warlords, this is a fact."

Hearing this, Chen Wei took a deep breath and said, "Your lord is right, I have indeed been working for the four major warlords all these years, but this is an unavoidable choice.

If I don't do things for them, they will send their people to Black Hawk Town to manage things. At that time, the life of the whole Black Hawk Town will be even more difficult, and we will be oppressed more, and their people will not treat us as human beings. Look.

Although I hand over the food harvested in the territory to them in accordance with the requirements of the four major warlords every year, at least I did not let the compatriots in the territory go hungry, and even tried every means to escape the order of the four warlords for them. Indicators for labor outside the home. "

Speaking of this, Chen Wei's eyes were already red, "Your lord may not know that when the four major warlords sent people to take charge of this place in the early years, in addition to planting and harvesting wheat, we also had to go out to build city walls and mine for them. Stone.

At that time, it took half a month to go there. Often, 300 people went out and only 200 people came back.In the beginning, Black Eagle Town had a population of tens of thousands, but over the past few years, more than half of them were killed or injured.

Later, the grain production could not increase and fell year after year. It was I who risked my life to negotiate with them and promised them the amount of grain to be handed over, so that they could evacuate the people stationed here.I don't care what the people here think of me, how they talk about me behind my back, I can swear to God, I have a clear conscience! "

"What I, Chen Wei, have done all these years are worthy of my conscience and everything in Black Eagle Town..."

The rain outside is getting heavier.

Chen Wei's mood became more and more excited as he talked.

Zhen Jian listened quietly without interjecting a word.

Finally, the rain stopped, and the sun that disappeared once again hung over Black Hawk Town, still brilliant and radiant...
