Chapter 1404 Registration
"Huh? Is it because of their status as imperial soldiers?" Zhao Hu asked.He also noticed this, so he didn't give them Shi Gao in Mingyue City.

"Yes, although they are militias now, they are all well-founded local troops. Once they are recognized, they will definitely cause trouble." Odie said.

"Then what should we do? We don't have enough manpower. Could it be that those civilian guards are diverted?" Zhou Wen frowned.

"Hey, sister, are you stupid? Everyone has tens of thousands of strong and strong men in Mingyue City, and Lao Dao has also started to build a new cavalry team. With so many backup forces, you still need to worry about no one serving as a pro. Wei?" Sun Jie smiled, but Zhou Wen slapped him right after he finished speaking, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.

"My lord, this is the map that Major Zhao Hu received." Liu Bin, who had been silent all this time, saw that nothing was going on, so he took out a parchment and handed it over.

Zhao Hu unfolded it, and a very detailed and concise and intuitive map appeared in front of him. Facing this map, the direction and location of the territory, the distribution of important institutions and resources are all clear.

Zhao Hu suddenly said on a whim: "Liu Bin, I wonder if you would like to go to the southeast peninsula with me? I need you to make a map of Mingyue City for me."

It's not surprising that Zhao Hu made such a request. With a map, training can be several times stronger.

Liu Bin, who was still dirty on his face, suddenly showed a bright smile: "Okay, anyway, there is nothing I need to do in your territory, but..." Liu Bin blinked, and a sense of flexibility immediately appeared in his eyes. Out: "I also want you, my lord, to confer Shi Gao on me."

"Haha, that's no problem, just ask as much as you need, I still have nearly a million stones of Shigao in Mingyue City." Zhao Hu laughed.

This Liu Bin's map-making skills are definitely a treasure, because even people who don't know anything about Zhao Huling can launch an attack with a high probability of winning based on this sheepskin scroll, which is known when they see the map.

"Hee hee, I don't want too much, just give a general rank first, and then I will reward you for meritorious service." Liu Bin said with a smile.

"Okay, when we arrive at Mingyue City, I will transfer it to you immediately." Zhao Hu didn't care about Liu Bin's request, anyway, he would not treat him badly.

Ou Di immediately congratulated Zhao Hu: "Congratulations, my lord, for getting this pillar."

Zhao Hu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.Only then did he realize that Liu Bin wanted Shi Gao from him in order to completely become his confidant, instead of maintaining his previous status as a guest.

"Well, Odie, why don't you stay here as a major and help me manage the territory? I'm going to train on the southeast peninsula myself." Zhao Hu suddenly remembered something and said.

Ou Di knew that Zhao Hu was sympathetic to him. After all, he was not young anymore, so he didn't want to follow him to the battlefield.I was reluctant at first, but I thought that although Mingyue City is the foundation, the major is also a facade, and smuggling needs to be received.

And the territorial inspector who doesn't know if he will come, if he will come, and when he will come, needs to be received.

Thinking of this, Odie nodded. Among the five guards, he is the only one who is suitable to stay, and the other little guys should follow the adults to make contributions, as long as they take good care of this family.

Feeling Odie's sadness, Zhou Wen came forward to hold Odie's hand, but he didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became a little silent.

At this moment, a wolf howled, and before the sound dissipated, a black shadow rushed into Zhao Hu's arms.

Sun Jie and Zhou Wen immediately shouted: "Black wolf!"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I didn't take you with me when I went out, but it seems that you ran away by yourself." Zhao Hu said with a smile, touching Hei Lang's head.

Taking the opportunity to divert his attention, Zhou Wen, who pulled Odie over, suddenly exclaimed: "Huh? Hei Lang, why are you injured? Are there any creatures that can bully you in the nearby woods? Hee hee, it seems that I haven't seen you for a while You will become weaker."

The black wolf turned his head and glared at Zhou Wen, let out a breath, and roared up to the sky, but what catered to it was the howling of wolves all over the mountains and plains. This overwhelming howling of wolves shocked everyone, and the sound of soldiers gathering came from outside the lord's mansion.

Zhao Hu patted Hei Lang on the head, and the howling sound of the Hei Lang shook, and the wolf howling that resounded through the sky disappeared immediately. Hei Lang, who closed his mouth, glanced at Zhou Wen with disdain, closed his eyes and lay down at Zhao Hu's feet rest.

"You..." Zhou Wen was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

And Odie laughed and said: "Haha, the black wolf is really powerful, and it took only such a short time to control the wild wolves with a radius of hundreds of miles." The reason for saying hundreds of miles is because there is no such a large area, it is impossible to Survive so many wild wolves.

Zhao Hu also said with a smile: "Well, it seems that we need to bring the black wolf with us for training. Not only can it scout out the enemy, but it can also help train horses and overcome the fear of ferocious beasts."

Everyone applauded this point, but Odie reminded: "My lord, you can't just take Hei Lang alone, it's better to let Hei Lang call some of his subordinates and take them with you."

When Hei Lang heard that it was about him, he immediately pricked up his ears to listen.

"Why bring so many wolves? The consumption of meat is huge." Zhou Wen asked puzzled.

Odie said: "If you only bring Heilang with you, even if you change your name and cover your face, you will be carefully observed immediately. After all, your training is to start a war with foreign countries. There are many people, and you are very strange. The situation will soon spread to the empire, and once someone notices it, the identity of the adult will be exposed.

"And if the black wolf appears in a group with his men, it will not attract attention. At most, everyone will think that there are many big dogs in Mingyue City."

"Hey, uncle is still thoughtful, I didn't consider this point." Sun Jie said very embarrassed.

Odie smiled and comforted: "You are still young, and you haven't considered many things. You can just think more about things in the future." He is full of expectations for these little guys.

"Well, let's leave it like this. We will leave with the ship when Fair brings the first batch of goods." Zhao Hu ended the gathering with these words, and then everyone left, busy with their work.

Soon, within a few days, Phil escorted dozens of sea ships over, and Peter had already prepared supplies.Since it is equal to one's own transaction, there is no dispute, and the settlement will be completed soon.

Just after the first transaction was over, Zhao Hu took Zhou Wen and others by boat to Mingyue City.

The first batch of civil servants left half for Odie to help train the new batch of civil servants. These civil servants will go to Mingyue City to continue their studies after they have some experience. After all, Mingyue City is a thousand years older than the major. times, it can better train basic talents.

Besides Zhao Hu's personal guards, there was another outsider, none other than Juan, the militia captain.

Juan is a clever man, of course he knew that being a militiaman had no future, so when he knew that Zhao Hu would no longer lead the militiamen, he immediately abandoned his identity as an imperial army and pledged his allegiance to Zhao Hu. He knew from Mo De that Representative Shi Gao wearing something.

Thinking of the need for someone to help manage the army of Mingyue City when he took office, Zhao Hu also recognized Juan's loyalty.

Of course, besides these cronies, Zhao Hu also had Hei Lang and his [-] wild wolf men.I don't know how the black wolves commanded them, but these wild wolves were able to stay in the cabin obediently in order, without causing any trouble to the fleet at all, but a few meat ships were specially prepared for them.

Time flies by like running water, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

Although the coastal province is a province near the sea and mountains, small snowflakes are still falling from the sky due to the approaching of the New Year.

Also due to the close of the new year, although the weather is cold, most people are busy preparing for the new year, which makes the provincial capital not reduce the flow of people, but even more crowded.

The two imperial soldiers guarding the city gate were dressed in bloated clothes, with their hands tucked into their sleeves, their shoulders hunched over and holding a long gun, and they leaned against the gate to watch the crowds entering and leaving.They didn't check the passers-by, and the two baskets beside them were already filled with more than half of the copper coins.

The young man occasionally shouted weakly there: "Entry fee, one copper coin per person."

The older ones are closing their eyes and meditating.

After a while, the older guard opened his eyes, stretched his muscles and bones, first turned his head to look inside the city, and saw that there were no obtrusive figures, then left his post and walked towards the younger soldier on the opposite side.

His walking stopped the flow of people entering and leaving the city gate immediately, and the flow resumed after he passed.And the basket under his feet is still there alone? , not only did no one steal the copper coins inside, even the people who went in and out, without human supervision, would still automatically throw the entrance fee into the basket.

"Hey, it's unbearably cold to stay still. I heard that the snow as big as a goose feather in the imperial capital can make the snow more than a foot deep in a short time. I don't know how they can bear it."

"Come on, take a sip and warm yourself up." The old soldier said, taking a sip from a wine jug from his arms, and handing it over.

The young soldier looked a little tender, he took the jug, and said hesitantly: "Brother, it's not good to drink during this shift time?"

"Hey, you enlisted this summer, so I don't know that you are allowed to drink some wine to warm up when you are on duty in winter, as long as you don't overdo it."

Seeing that the young soldier still had doubts, the older soldier couldn't help laughing and said: "You think this is the border area adjacent to the Shanyue Kingdom, there are bandits everywhere! This is the provincial capital, the central area of ​​the whole province, the surrounding areas Civilians are very law-abiding and will not make trouble at all.
