Chapter 159 Open the Official System, the Head of the Pavilion! (Additional Chapter for the Guardian Chunbai and Yi!)
Bandits are unruly people, and you can’t trust them too much. Xu An is prepared for the current situation. Otherwise, when the Shen family was robbed, he would not think of the bandits first.
Although he has been secretly offered sacrifices by them for so many years, it is just a secret transaction. There is no deep friendship. The bandits don’t trust him, and he doesn’t trust them either.
It’s just a transaction between jackals and tigers.
It seems that it’s time to add a stroke to his career. Don’t think that the government soldiers of Dongye County just don’t want to waste resources, Xu An thought hard in his heart.
…
County Magistrate’s Mansion.
“This is my gift!” He took out a linen package from the bag on his back. There were ten gold cakes in it. One gold cake is equal to one hundred gold cakes, which is equivalent to a thousand gold coins. It’s a lot. If he was greedy for money in the past, Lin Mu would definitely cut half and half to offer.
However, the generous Lin Mu was not stingy in bribes.
Although it was dedicated to Dongye County, it was actually given to the county magistrate. This is an unspoken rule, and everyone understands it.
Huang Yun was not polite. He took Lin Mu's package and opened it gently. He saw that there were gold cakes inside. This made Huang Yun, who had always been calm, change color.
Unexpectedly, this ordinary poor scholar with extraordinary temperament had such a rich family background. Lin Mu's evaluation was raised to a higher level in Huang Yun's heart.
It was not that Huang Yun was greedy for money, but he sighed that Lin Mu had the courage to contribute his rich family background. Judging from the reluctance on his face when he presented the package, these should be all his wealth. Official positions are really good things, attracting countless people to throw moths into the fire and beg for huge money.
Although one thousand gold coins are not worth a month's gray income, it is equivalent to two years of county magistrate's salary.
This person is generous, Huang Yun is very satisfied in his heart, thinking about what position to place him. It is better to leave the choice to this Lin Mu. I think he will find a position he likes when he asks to see me.
All the positions in the county, as long as they are not of high rank, are sources of wealth for themselves. Now this person's one thousand gold can be regarded as one of the best. As long as it is not too much, it is okay to agree.
After a while of thinking, Huang Yun laughed and said, "Xiao Mu's intention, I will accept it on behalf of the millions of people in Dongye County. I know that you want to serve Dongye County, but I don't know your talents for the time being, so I can't arrange any position for you. Do you have any position in mind that you want to serve?"
When Lin Mu heard Huang Yun's words, he was moved. The power of this thousand gold was really great. Even the title was changed. His so-called origin was also a poor scholar's family. In the eyes of these wealthy families, his status was just a lower level of civilians. Why was he so polite?
Lin Mu originally wanted to be a township inspector, which was an idle position without any chores and trivial matters, which was convenient for him to do things. Now he has a choice, so he will fight for the position he currently lacks.
"I come from Qingying Pavilion in the south of Dongye County. I grew up there, so I want to go back and do something for the villagers and give back to them. In addition, my family has an ordinary village building order. I plan to build a place for the Lin clan members who were previously living outside to settle down and gather relatives, so I plan to seek a position as a pavilion chief."
"In addition, the reason for the decline of my family is that the bandits from Dong'an Mountain robbed our Linjia Village. Therefore, I gathered some village warriors in Qingying and prepared to fight with the Dong'an bandits, hoping to wipe out these evil bandits. So I will seek a position as a township patrol inspector, with the right to eliminate violence and protect the good, for the people and the country." Lin Mu said in a low voice, his face full of grief and indignation. At the end, he was very excited, as if he really had a deep hatred with the Dong'an bandits.
Pavilion chief and patrol inspector are not the same type of official positions, and can be held part-time.
The head of the pavilion is responsible for managing all affairs in the pavilion, while the inspector can have the name of the township, gather township warriors, fight against bandits, and collect merits. To put it simply, the head of the pavilion is a civil official, and the inspector is a military official.
"The requirements for the head of the pavilion and the township inspector are so low. Aren't you going to work in the county mansion? You should know that the wealth or status obtained in the county is higher! It seems that you really want to give back to the villagers." Huang Yun was a little surprised when he heard Lin Mu's request. One thousand gold coins were exchanged for this small head of the pavilion and the inspector, and they were from the township, not the county inspector.
With this one thousand gold coins, even if it was the county inspector, this official position that could go to the county lieutenant camp to receive 2,000 second-level soldiers, Huang Yun was willing to give it up. Unexpectedly, it was just a position without military allocation. Huang Yun wanted to persuade Lin Mu, but since you are so determined, why not follow your wishes? There is no loss anyway.
"Okay! I agree to all your requests. Ah Fu, go get the seal of Qingying Pavilion and a township patrol token."
After a while, Lin Mu got a light blue seal with the seal of the Red Dragon. There were very few lines on it, only a blue line that went around. In the center of the seal, the words [Pavilion Chief] were engraved, and behind the seal, there were three yellow small words [Qingying Pavilion]. As for the token, it was even simpler, just a black wooden plaque the size of a child's palm, with no lines at all. It was engraved with [Patrol Envoy], and behind it was the word "Xiang".
One thousand gold coins, in exchange for these two simple things, whether it was a gain or a loss, only Lin Mu himself knew.
However, when Lin Mu took the seal and token, the system prompt sounded suddenly:
"Ding!"
"——System prompt, player Lin Mu, congratulations on becoming a [Tingzhang], and at the same time serving as a township inspector, becoming an official of the Han Dynasty. Successfully opened the official system of the Han Dynasty and the merit system."
"——System prompt, Lord Lin Mu, you become a Tingzhang, and the hidden conditions for upgrading the advanced village to a primary township are completed. You can upgrade the Zhenlong Village to the primary township level, please pay attention!"
Huh, Lin Mu heard these two prompts, and he was sure that the Zhenlong Village could finally be upgraded. It was not easy. I think other players' territories may have even built advanced townships. I lag behind in the level of territory and need to speed up the upgrade.
And I can finally become a [Lord] instead of a village chief!
...
After a round of greetings, Lin Mu politely declined Huang Yun's invitation to have a meal together. He was very busy, so he didn't have time to chat and joke with you, a small county magistrate.
Having achieved his goal, Lin Mu and the member of the Night Shadow Department left the county magistrate's mansion together.
Then after instructing him to do something, he went back to report to Xu Ying, and Lin Mu rushed to the County Lieutenant Camp.
The series of tasks such as the elimination of Dong'an bandits need to be received at the camp of the County Lieutenant's Mansion.
With the token of the patrol envoy, Lin Mu easily received the task at the County Lieutenant's Army.
Lin Mu did not only accept the task of eliminating Dong'an Mountain, but also accepted all the tasks of bandits in that area, a total of five.
[Eliminate Dong'an Bandits], [Eliminate Qingyun Bandits], [Eliminate Chengfeng Bandits], [Eliminate Xiping Bandits], [Eliminate Nanshan Bandits].
These are the bandits gathered in the mountains near Dongye County, which belong to the Qilian Mountains.
Lin Mu believes in the strength of the True Dragon Corps, not to mention that there are Night Shadows assisting in the dark, just five mountain bandit gangs.
Dongye County has a regular corps stationed. Normally, there should be 200,000 soldiers. Unfortunately, the court was corrupt, and the county magistrates and lieutenants below also needed to provide resources to the upper court. In addition, officials would also embezzle some of the resources, resulting in a lack of military funds and other aspects. The soldiers also lacked experience in battlefield fighting. It can be said that these soldiers could not even beat the third-level soldiers in Lin Mu's territory.
When Lin Mu accepted the task, he also took a look at the equipment of the soldiers in the barracks. They were all brand new, as if they were newly-made military equipment.
It seems that these soldiers really have very few training times, and there are no traces of battle on their equipment. No wonder these soldiers surrendered during large-scale battles such as the Xu Zhao Rebellion and the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The upper-level military lieutenants were corrupt, and the lower-level soldiers were lazy. This is the situation of the legions in many counties.
Lin Mu took a few glances and guessed such an amazing result.
After accepting the task, Lin Mu found a secret place and took out a page of a book that he had kept close to him.
The white page of the book is a page of the mother page of [Qian Kun Zi Mu Shu]. Lin Mu wrote down his situation on it.
After writing, the characters slowly disappeared, which was very magical.
Lin Mu's territory was full of aboriginals, and he was the only alien player. Communication could only rely on primitive methods, which was very slow, but since he obtained the [Qian Kun Zi Mu Shu], this situation has been alleviated.
Lin Mu has a page of the mother page on him, which can send a message to Liu Feng who was ambushing far away in Dong'an Mountain.
This time, Liu Feng led the True Dragon Legion to attack the bandit suppression operation, and the number of soldiers who came out this time reached 80,000.
20,000 4th-level soldiers, 40,000 5th-level soldiers, and 20,000 6th-level soldiers, which can be said to be the unprecedented strength of the True Dragon Village.
There are only about 100,000 bandits in Dong'an Mountain, basically all 3rd-level soldiers, and the elite soldiers may reach 5th level. Their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the county government soldiers, but their equipment is very simple. Only bandits who have made meritorious contributions can have military-style equipment secretly traded from the county.
After Lin Mu waited for the font to disappear, he waited for a while, and the font magically appeared on the page again, but it was not written by Lin Mu, but written by Liu Feng. Qiankun Zimushu, a communication artifact, lived up to its reputation!
There were only six words on the page: Received! Action begins!
Lin Mu did not go there to eliminate and gain experience. After thinking carefully, he was most short of time now, and this leveling was really the least needed at the moment. Lin Mu had already realized where his mistakes were before.
Level 100 was given by heaven and earth, and it was fixed. It would not run away, and it would not disappear completely. However, the treasures and opportunities in the world would disappear. Because he had lost a lot of opportunities in Yinglong Valley, he had to open the planned treasure, otherwise it would be obtained by some lucky guy, and he would have no place to cry.
(It's a bit late, forgive me! I have no face to ask for votes!)
