I Slay Demons in the Demon City/
Chapter 246 The Mess
As for Ma Ji's proposal to arrange him as a deputy commander, Zhao Zilong has no opinion at all now..
He didn't dare to object!
The person Ma Ji, Master Ma, arranged must be a very powerful character..
He's got 800 old, sick, and disabled soldiers under him, and it's hard to eat..
If new blood comes into the army, he'll take it from anyone..
So Ma Ji asked Xu Zhuo to come and meet Zhao Zilong.
Xu Zhuo had a revolver on his waist, a sheepskin lapel, and a pair of sunglasses. He stood there, chewing betel nuts, and his right leg was shaking non-stop. He looked like a bandit leader. How did he look like an army commander?
Zhao Zilong had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was upright, upright, cold and silver, indicating that his family background was extraordinary..
Two people stand side by side, really is spring orchid autumn chrysanthemum, each has its own merits.
All young talents, each with his own style.
Ma Ji said to Zhao Zilong:
"Our Xu Zhuo is Lord Xu's son in Baoqing Prefecture..
Don't worry about his status. The army stresses strength..
You two can cooperate with each other from the beginning.
General Zhao, your marksmanship should be very good. This Xu Zhuo is also a gun wielder..
But his gun is a musket..
Your army should have one too, right?"
Zhao Zilong looked ashamed.
" I'm sorry to make Immortal Ma laugh. Our military doesn't have the funds to buy muskets!"
Ma Ji smiled and said:
This Xu Zhuo is the God of Wealth. If you are short of money, just ask him for it..
”
Xu Zhuoyi looked at Ma Ji in surprise.
" Immortal Master Ma, it can't be, right? You dragged me here because you want me to be a sucker?"
Ma Ji smiled and said:
"How much do you think your grandmother's body is worth?"
Xu Zhuo immediately became extremely generous.
" Tsk! Isn't it just money? My family runs a bank. How much do you want? Just ask!
I won't charge you any interest!"
After all this time, it turned out to be an interest-free loan!
Of course, no one's money came from a strong wind. Could it be that hundreds of millions and billions of dollars were given away for free?
Instantly, Song Jiang and the others looked at Xu Zhuo in a new light. They wished they had met too late!
Ma Ji continued to introduce:
"Master Xu is not only a god of wealth, but also a spear god..
He's got an amazing musket..
”
Speaking of this, Ma Ji took out five copper coins and threw them into the air. Then he said to Xu Zhuo,
"It's up to you!"
Xu Zhuo did not even raise his head. He only heard a bang and five copper coins fell to the floor..
Song Jiang quickly picked it up and saw that the word "treasure" in the four words "Luosha Tongbao" on the copper plate was gone!
These coins were passed around in everyone's hands, and everyone who saw them was amazed..
It was impossible to see how Xu Zhuo pulled out his gun. He only used one bullet to shoot through five copper coins at the same time!
And it's the same part!
It was simply marvelous!
Zhao Zilong grabbed Xu Zhuo's hands and said enthusiastically,
" Deputy Commander Xu! Welcome! The reconstruction of our army depends on you!"
Xu Zhuo lazily said:
"Don't call me commander, just call me three..
Let me first state that although I'm a soldier again, I won't get up so early and won't participate in military training. In short, I can do whatever I want!"
Zhao Zilong quickly said:
" Of course! You're the commander-in-chief, so of course you can do whatever you want! I don't care about you!"
Xu Zhuo was stunned. He felt that he had lost face. It turned out that he had just said it for nothing, but instead he seemed petty..
Ma said:
"Okay, you can communicate with each other and spar with each other..
I reckon that if the two of you work together, you will definitely make our army the strongest army in Luosha!"
What's that?
Build the most powerful army in Luosha?
After Zhao Zilong heard Ma Ji's goal declaration, he couldn't help but admire the five bodies..
He used to lead the army to war, but he also wanted to make contributions.
However, the ideal is reality to play fragmented, his dream is completely disappeared.
Now he only wants to eat one mouthful of food. To feed eight hundred strong men is the greatest ideal..
:.
Otherwise, go home like this and have no face to see the elders of Jiangdong.
Ma Ji 1 came, give him a lofty goal, want him to build Luosha country's most powerful army!
Zhao Zilong's ambition was ignited.
Young people should be full of energy and ideals. Anything is possible..
He said excitedly to Xu Zhuo:
"Xu Zhuo... Third Young Master, with the words of Immortal Ma, I think we will definitely succeed, brother!
I'm older than you. I'm 21..
“
Xu Zhuo finally said seriously:
"Err…I'm 20 years old, and you're one year younger than me. It seems like you're destined to be a younger brother again..
Okay, so the two of us work together.
Let's create a miracle together!"
Zhao Zilong was finally arranged. Song Jiang felt very pleased and pushed Lu Zhi out.
"Ah…this is Lu Zhi, the former abbot of our Golden Light Temple..
He is not so proficient in Buddhism, but his martial arts are very strong. He followed me to put down the rebellion and suppress the bandits, and made great contributions..
He is a brave man who dares to fight and fight regardless of everything. I hope you can keep him..
”
9 Crazy abbot is a bit difficult, Golden Light Temple is a place to collect vows, it is impossible to have two abbots.
So 9 crazy abbot looked at Ma Ji.
Ma Ji understood the difficulties of the crazy abbot 9 very well, so he said to Lu Zhi:
"Master Lu, it seems that your specialty is fighting, not chanting scriptures..
How about this? Why don't you join the military and lead your followers to join the army? It's the best of both worlds!"
As the abbot of Golden Light Temple, Lu Zhi will have some followers.
Even if there are 100,000 believers among the population of 20 million, after Lu Zhi's call, about 10,000 people join the army, it is still a great contribution..
Lu Zhi was overjoyed.
"This Penniless Monk eats too much. I don't think I've eaten enough..
Now that you can mingle with God of Wealth and Gun God, you can at least have a full meal, right?"
They say that, Ma Ji, they all sigh..
If the abbot of the Golden Light Monastery could not eat enough, how could the monks below live?
Ma Ji 1 waved his hand and said:
"Don't wait until later, let Master Lu eat now..
Take this note and sell it. We're hungry too..
”
Lu Zhi1 saw that it was a banknote with a denomination of 100,000 and was so happy that he almost jumped up. He immediately turned around and walked out of the hall..
Song Jiang:
" I'm so sorry! How can I let the guests spend money? Sigh! Now I can rest assured that my brothers are finally living a good life!
Er... This is Shi Qian, he is a real detective! Unfortunately, here, no matter how good he is at solving crimes, he is not as good as Qian.
I hope Lord Cao and Immortal Master Ma can keep him here so that he can manage the security of the prefecture. One person is worth 1,000 people!"
Cao Cao said he did not understand:
" What do you mean no matter how good you are at solving crimes, you're not as good as money? Don't you have 1 point of pressure and 1 point of credibility?"
Shiqian smiled bitterly and said,
"The yamen don't have money, they have to generate revenue, and sometimes they have to blow up criminals..
But this isn't a solution. The common people won't agree!"
Shi Qian is tall and thin, with slender eyes and slender fingers. Even his voice is sharp and sharp..
Cao Cao suddenly understood.
He asked again:
"Does that yamen have no tax revenue?"
Song Jiang sighed and said,
"Yes, there is a tax policy, but the customs here are fierce. There are gangs in every industry. They would rather give money to gangs than to the government..
In order to save money, our yamen has a limited number of constables. We can't compete with the gang forces that have more than a thousand people!"
Ma Ji frowned. It seems that Chang Yuefu's situation is indeed complicated. The main reason why Yamen is very passive is that they have no money..
Ma said:
"Since Shi Qian is a divine detective, Lord Cao should stay and be of great use!"
Cao Cao nodded and said:
"Of course, we're new here, so we need a lot of old officials to guide us. Besides, didn't Lord Song just say that our staffing is limited?.
We will send out a recruitment notice tomorrow to recruit civil servants with high salaries!"
Song Jiang quickly said:
"Lord Cao, when I first came here, I did the same thing, but the recruits were all gang disciples. They all wanted to occupy a seat in the yamen so that they could benefit their own gang..
And there are few people who really do practical things for the Yamen and the people..
”
Ma Ji said:
" Now that the problem is clear, if you want to open up the situation, let's start by solving the guild!"
