Just as everyone was feeling nervous, a team appeared with a flag that said, "Flying Feather".
"It's the Winged Knights." The leader sighed and sat down again.
The Winged Knights would not suddenly come out to kill them. There was no need for that.
The Winged Knights that came over were on three horses. The horses were carrying something, and the Winged Knights were carrying … What was that? Fire sticks?
The 300 Winged Knights were envious. The new brothers all had guns. Why did they come to Guangzhou instead of supporting the source of the Yellow River?
The leader of the 300 Winged Knights, Pang Kuang, was not the others. He took the initiative to welcome them. "Xiao Jian, you brought guns?"
The leader of the 1000 Winged Knights, Jian Qing, got off his horse and showed the gun to Pang Kuang. "It's a new gun. The place where the ignition groove used to be has been replaced by a cap. It needs to be made of copper."
Pang Kuang held it in his hand and looked at it. The gun seemed to be more beautiful, especially since the big medicine pool had disappeared and was replaced by a small pit.
"What does the cap look like?" Pang Kuang aimed the gun and wanted to shoot.
Jian Qing handed him a cap. It was very small and could be circled around the size of a soybean.
Pang Kuang guessed the operation and put the cap in, but did not activate it.
"In this way, the firing speed will be faster." Pang Kuang knew that the cap was much more convenient than the medicine pool.
"It's most convenient when it's raining. The paper bullets are waterproof. With the cap, it's better than arrows in the rain."
Jian Qing handed over another paper bullet and asked Pang Kuang to test it.
Pang Kuang hesitated. "Bullets are precious."
"A thousand bullets per person for hunting. Help the locals clear some of the beasts in the mountains. Wild boars, wolves, tigers, black bears, leopards, etc."
Jian Qing had received this order to help clear the beasts. There was no need for protection. People were the most important.
Pang Kuang nodded and put the bullet in. "What should I shoot?"
He looked around. There were people all around. Obviously, he could not shoot. He looked at the sky again. There was a pigeon flying around.
Then he noticed someone looking at him. It was Zhang Jiuling. Zhang Jiuling's pigeon.
"I'll hit the tree. I'll hit the tree. I'll hit the tree later." Pang Kuang smiled at Zhang Jiuling and took out the fire cap. He was afraid that it would misfire.
The Winged Knights dismounted and took care of the horses. They took some fine ingredients from the back of the horses and fed them.
Along with them was the team that delivered the floral dew water. The team that delivered the floral dew water left in advance and was caught up by them. They came to protect them.
Floral water worth five hundred thousand taels was considered a big deal. The barbarian merchants were all waiting.
The Li Family Zhuangzi had to pay a tax of fifty thousand taels, while the barbarians had to pay a tax of one hundred thousand taels.
In one transaction, the Ministry of Commerce earned 150,000 yuan. The Li Family Zhuangzi earned even more. The toilet water wasn't worth much, and the water inside wasn't even as expensive as the porcelain bottle.
"Hurry up and cook for our troops." Wei Yue Feng called out.
Someone was going to kill a chicken and cook the same meal.
"No need. It's fine as long as there's soup. Let's make do with this meal." Jian Qing refused. It was too slow. They had brought food.
"Hurry up and make the fish soup. This is great. We can fix the road in Yuyuan County," Wei Yue Feng shouted again.
The people brought by Zhang Jiuling were overjoyed. With the arrival of 1,000 Winged Knights, their safety was guaranteed.
In total, there were 1,300 Winged Knights and 3,000 capable fighters from Lu Zhou's side.
When they made the fish soup, they poured the rice into the soup as well. This was out of goodwill. They did not want the Winged Knights to consume the compressed biscuits and meat floss.
The Winged Knights were busy feeding the horses. The horses were not used to the heat. The smell of the sea breeze was different from other places.
Another reason was the tide. People who lived in the north and did not live near the sea would have dry ear wax.
When they arrived at the sea, the wax would turn into paste.
Many people in Li Yi's territory were in this situation. The good thing was that they were at home. After wearing a white shirt for a day, the collar and cuffs would turn black.
There was less pollution at the sea. If they did not wash for a week, the collar and cuffs of the white shirt would still be white.
However, if they did not wash for a week, they would smell and sweat a lot.
Horses were more adaptable than humans. If they felt uncomfortable, they would be fine after a few days. This included the highlands.
The Li Family Zhuangzi's men were here to deliver the goods. The leader was the Fifth Steward, Li Feng. He had changed his surname and insisted on using the surname Li.
He was the first slave Li Yi bought. His talents were outstanding, and he was promoted to a steward.
He married a maid Li Yi sold back then. Li Yi gave him a courtyard and other things, and he wanted to remove his slave status.
However, Li Feng refused. He was willing to be a slave. Even if he had children in the future, he would still be a slave of the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Hence, his official status was still a slave of the Li Family Zhuangzi, the Fifth Steward. When he was outside, no one would treat him as a slave.
"Eunuch Zhang, send someone to check the goods. We'll do the handover." Li Feng bowed at Zhang Jiuling.
"Can you be a county magistrate for half a year?" Zhang Jiuling looked at Li Feng and asked.
"How many people? What's the situation? "Li Feng did not immediately agree.
"Zaiyuan County, the local …" Zhang Jiuling explained patiently. He was annoyed. Hurry up and fix the road. What was the Yan family doing there?
"Eunuch Zhang, the people I brought can support the administration of Zaiyuan County. Rest assured, this includes suppressing the Yan family."
Li Feng had an idea after hearing this. The county had a population of 1500, and the Yan family took up a fifth of it.
This time, he brought along 30 villagers and hired others.
30 villagers and him. Managing a county of 1500 people was not a problem.
"How do we deal with the current situation?" Zhang Jiuling asked.
"Promote Yan Jie and the rest, including the bailiffs. They will become officials under the Ministry of Shipping. They will be promoted by one rank, and the salary of a rank five official will be increased by 10%.
Transfer them over. They won't have to do anything. We'll go over and take over the county. We'll choose new bailiffs and not people from the Yan family. "
Li Feng was calm and steady. He immediately gave an idea.
Zhang Jiuling looked at Huang An, indicating that he should make the arrangements.
Huang An stared at Li Feng as if he wanted to drill into his heart and ask, 'Why are you so bad? Are you sure you're a small steward in Zhuangzi? '
He pursed his lips. "It's not easy to transfer officials like this."
"When I came, I brought along the documents from the Hall of Secretaries. Eunuch Zhang is now in charge of all matters. Her Majesty personally issued it." Li Feng solved the problem smoothly.
Winged Knights came over from behind and gave Zhang Jiuling an order from the Hall of Secretaries. He was now the local patrol inspector.
"What will you deal with first?" Huang An still doubted Li Feng's ability.
"Repair the roads. Once the roads are repaired, the people's hearts will be at ease. Dongzhu taught me that political struggles should not be based on sacrificing the interests of the people.
Struggle in the administration, compromise in the struggle, and get things done when the compromise is reached.
Once the roads are repaired and the people trust me, I can turn around and deal with the Yan family. The Yan family is overbearing. They must have forcefully occupied other people's land or forced them to buy and sell.
Eunuch Zhang, don't send the people back. I don't even need Winged Knights. I can mobilize the people to deal with the Yan family. "
Li Feng didn't even think about it and directly said the arrangements. It was a routine operation. He had received a lot of education.
Dongzhu had rich experience in fighting. One by one, they couldn't be too hasty.
