Chapter 16 Changshe Buys Grain

After such a quarrel, everyone got closer, chatting and beating together in twos and threes, and some people gathered around Chen Jing to look at his equipment.

Zonghengtianxia took Huangfu Chaobo to teach him some experience and precautions in building the village.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, after chatting for a while, Huangfu Chaobo got up to leave. Zonghengtian wanted to keep them to sit for a while, but remembered that Huangfu Chaobo's village was only built, and it was not easy to stay for long. So someone took ten sets of level 15 leather armor, 5 sets of level 20 leather armor, and 10 level 15 iron-headed wooden handle guns from the warehouse and gave them to Huangfu Chaobo in return.

What Huangfu Chaobo lacks most now is this kind of elementary weapons and equipment. He didn't expect that the other party would give so much at once, and the whole group was delighted from ear to ear. This can be regarded as a surprise.

It was almost noon when the group turned back to the south gate of Changshe City. Because he was going into the city, Chen Jing's equipment was also put away. At the gate of the city, they paid the city gate fee for seven people (Chen Jing had a guide), and under the leadership of Chen Jing, they came to a restaurant in the city. Many players now have restaurants in their villages, but none of them know what the specific purpose of the restaurant is. Many people just think that this building can improve the support of the villagers and the hearts of the people in the village. In fact, the restaurant has a very big hidden attribute: it can attract the patronage of generals in the field, not only ordinary warriors, but even NPC historical generals are the same, but this attribute was accidentally discovered by players after a long time, so Now the restaurants in the village are just empty shells, with nothing to eat inside. A group of eight people ate a full meal in the restaurant, er, to be precise, it should be a full meal, and then walked to the county government.

Let Xiaojiejie wait at the door with five players, and Huangfu Chaobo took Chen Jing to the county lieutenant's office, because the task of suppressing bandits can only be taken there. The county lieutenant was resting behind the table, when he heard someone coming in, he said: "Get the task and go to the master, and after handing in the task, come to the official."

"My lord, we have to hand it in as soon as we get it. It's better to go directly to you." Huangfu Chaobo said;

"Yeah. Bold..." The county lieutenant raised his head and was about to get angry when he suddenly saw Chen Jing; "Ah... ghost..." As the chief officer of a county's military administration, he may not know all the soldiers under him. , but basically they still have an impression of the generals, especially Chen Jing, who was the highest-level loser in the last Longwo Shanzhai battle. How could it be impossible for the county lieutenant to know him? A subordinate who was already dead suddenly stood in front of him alive, the county lieutenant's first reaction was that he saw a ghost, and he was so scared that he fell off the chair all of a sudden.

The masters around who were busy with other things looked around inexplicably, and they all murmured in their hearts where did the ghost come from in broad daylight. It must be that my boss has done too many bad things and has a guilty conscience. Although there was this kind of thought in their hearts, everyone didn't show it. After all, they were still their own parents.

"Chen...Chen...brother, your Lord Qian Xianzun also took it. No... I'm not the only one who took it. Also, I'll have your house returned to you right away, please. Don't come to me anymore. I must often burn paper money for you. I will definitely not let you..."

"My lord, we're here to pick up the task, can you help us with it!" Huangfu Chaobo said to the county captain, suppressing a smile.

"You...you are not..."

"Where did the ghost come from in broad daylight?" Huangfu Chaobo said.

After thinking about it, he crawled out from under the table trembling and frightened for a long time, and sneaked a few glances at Huangfu Chaobo and the others before he settled down. Pretending to be nonchalant, he straightened his clothes before sitting on the chair. He slapped the table: "Bold Chen Jing, how dare you take advantage of the time when you go out to suppress the bandits to be a deserter, and be executed according to the law of the big man. Do you dare to come back?"

As for Changshe County Captain, Huangfu Chaobo actually didn't want to offend him.

You must know that your village is within the jurisdiction of the Changsha after all, but you didn't expect that the county captain would put on a big hat as soon as he came up, which made Huangfu Chaobo very angry. It seems that sooner or later he will turn his face, but Huangfu Chaobo is not afraid. After all, he and the county captain of Changshe belong to the court camp, and he will not have much contact with the government in the future, at least before the Yellow Turban Uprising. Wei didn't dare to deal with him blatantly. As for the Yellow Turban Uprising, who knows what will happen at that time. I really didn't pay much attention to it. Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo said slowly: "My lord, it seems that Chen Jing can't be blamed for this. Someone reported him as a death in battle after the final confirmation. If the prefect pursues it, who should be blamed?" What's more, some people even embezzled the pensions of the fallen soldiers, I don't know what the officials in the court will say when they find out."

The county lieutenant's face turned green and then turned pale: "Bold, who are you, you dare to contradict me, what should you do?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Huangfu Chaobo, the head of Luoshen Village under the rule of Changsha. Oh, yes, I just came from Zongheng Village, the first village in Yingchuan, and I just made a brotherhood agreement with their village. If If you want to punish the crime, please give the order!"

"Uh..." The villages under the rule can indeed be dealt with, but once Zongheng Village is involved, even the county magistrate can't bear it. Because this village has long been reported to the court as a political achievement, it is said that the prefect pays special attention to this village. Not only that, even the governor of the state knew this village. After all, there were only thirteen states in the whole Han Dynasty. As the largest state in the Central Plains, if a village could enter the top ten in the country, it would be a political achievement.

Now the county lieutenant didn't know what to do. All the masters below looked at him with playful expressions. The county lieutenant suddenly lost face. He said to a few people: "You guys, go down first, I have an important matter to discuss with the village chief"

"Yes, my lord!" We still need to discuss matters, because we are afraid of losing face in front of us. Several masters looked at each other, and retreated out tacitly.

"Village Chief Huangfu is here this time, is there anything I can help you with?"

Oh, yes, I also know how to be soft and have a future. Huangfu Chaobo smiled secretly, and said, "That's right. My lord, isn't the county government offering rewards to suppress the bandits? My subordinate and my subordinate Chen Jing are here to hand in the task. Also, I just stopped by Chen Jing's yard in the city to have a look." , no one has lived there for a long time, I don’t know if the inside needs to be cleaned.”

The words are already here. Chen Jing is now my man, I don't care about the credit and money you reported, but I still have to get the house back. Ha ha. . . Next, it depends on whether you can pick up Tuo, Mr. County Captain, Huangfu Chaobo thought to himself.

After hearing this, the county captain immediately understood what it meant, and said, "Oh, don't worry, Village Chief Huangfu, I have sent people to watch the house these days. It is very clean inside, and you will find out when you go and take a look. Yes Yes, you said that you are here to hand in the task. I don't know..."

"Yes, my lord, we wiped out the second king of Longwo Mountain Village and his three big bosses and four little bosses, but it's a pity that their king ran away."

"Oh, I'm going to ask someone to exchange rewards for the village chief. Someone is here!" the county captain shouted towards the door after finishing speaking;

"My lord, what are your orders?" A small official came in.

"Call Master and the others in."

It didn't take long for several masters to come in. "My lord, what are your orders?" asked;

"Oh, you can exchange rewards for this village chief Huangfu and this strong man." The county captain said;

"Yes, my lord."

It didn't take long to calculate, the second king was 10 taels of silver, and the bosses had a total of 23 taels of silver. After the calculation, the master looked at the county lieutenant, and asked with his eyes if he only sent half of it to Huangfu Chaobo and the others according to the old rules. He didn't expect the county lieutenant to wink and let him send it all out. The master felt strange in his heart, but there was still no Chi Ning in his hand, and he handed the money to Huangfu Chaobo very readily.

After taking the money, Huangfu Chaobo didn't stay in the county government anymore, and came out with Chen Jing. After meeting Xiaojiejie and the others, they went to Chen Jing's house to have a look. It's just a small courtyard house, and it's estimated that it will only cost a few taels of silver if it is sold. But the inside was really cleaned up, and the deed was still on the table. Huangfu Chaobo and Chen Jing smiled, handed over the deed to Chen Jing and came out. The next step is to go to the grain store to buy food.

3,000 catties of grain cost 15 taels of silver and were packed in 30 bags. Chen Jing went to the mules and horses to hire a carriage, loaded it with food, and then went to the market to buy some daily necessities needed by the village. We eat in the cafeteria, so these things have to be prepared in the village. Before leaving the city, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly remembered that there was an intermediate doctor at home. Although he estimated that he would not know how to make blood medicine, Huangfu Chaobo still asked Chen Jing to buy some blood medicine. However, blood medicine is really not that expensive. +20 costs 20 copper, +50 costs 50 copper, and +100 costs 100 copper. After leaving the north gate of Changshe City, everyone put on their equipment. After all, there is so much food and it takes more than 20 miles to walk, so it is better to be careful. Since the game server has been launched for less than a month, the roads between the player's village and the system city are still poor gravel roads. Huangfu Chaobo and the others walked for nearly two hours on the 20-mile road, which is about the same time as when they came. , but finally the food was safely transported to the village.

Before arriving at the entrance of the village, Huangfu Chaobo found that the outside of the village was much more lively than yesterday. Obviously there will be dozens more players. Yes, there are tens of millions of players now, but there are only a few hundred thousand or so in the village. Calculated on average, each village has nearly one or two thousand players. The villages in the front row have more than two or three thousand players. Zongheng Village now has more than one thousand players. Of course, there are many players Still wandering in the wild.
