The Great Seminary

Chapter 66: 'Old Friends' Reunion

Although Zhihai Village looks quite large at night, it is difficult to see clearly because it is nestled against the mountains and by the sea.

Look closely during the day.

Although the barracks and houses here are dilapidated and in disrepair, they are well planned.

There is a shipyard next to the berth where warships can be repaired.

Outside the residential areas where military families lived, there were windmills and oil mills.

On the second day of taking office, Zhang Gui took a tour of the military camp and ordered Li Yunbo to remake the military and civilian registers of Zhihai Village.

Then he began to personally investigate the military camp, including information on people, power, materials, etc.

After a day of hard work, I finally determined two things: Zhihaizhai was really broke.

Li Yunbo can truly be described as a good guy.

So it was the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

Zhang Gui went to Xuanzhi Mountain and found five black-skinned forest deer, two large and three small. He killed them all and gave the whole family to the cook to make soup.

Improve the food of the soldiers under your command.

Afterwards, he returned to Zhihai Village Yamen and sat in the main hall, experiencing the 'joy' of being an eighth-rank officer in the Ming and Song Dynasty's miscellaneous army while using his brain and luck.

“They say they are being resisted, but there are more than 20,000 mu of thin farmland in this broken village, and thousands of people who can serve as cheap labor.

If you are shameless, it would be easy to extort thousands of taels of silver a year.

So I'm afraid that the big boss who pushed me to the top doesn't necessarily think that I will blame him..."

Just as he was thinking about it, Old Man Li came trotting into the village office with two personal soldiers holding large green-covered books.

“Governor, I have prepared the new register of soldiers and civilians.

Now there are nineteen captains, two hundred and eleven regular soldiers, and six hundred and sixty pawns in the camp.

There are six master bricklayers and twenty apprentices.

There are five master blacksmiths and seventeen apprentices.

There are four shipbuilders and fifteen boatmen in total.

There are 776 households, totaling 3,240 people..."

Zhang Gui took the blue book, looked at it carefully for a while, and put it away carefully.

After chatting with Lao Li for a while, he staggered out of the village gate and ran into Xuanzhi Mountain.

Located in the same mountain range, Zhihai Village is more than seventy miles away from Mushroom Valley.

The mountain road was difficult to travel on, and it took him quarter of an hour to reach his destination.

Teleported to the Giant Snake Island, the Stone Corpse Capital of the True Dragon Kingdom...

Although the Zhenlong Kingdom is small, the basic living materials are very rich.

Compared with other forces, his governing philosophy is extremely people-oriented. In just half a month, he won the hearts of tens of thousands of former slaves.

In addition, due to the effective use of personnel, although the country is small and has a small population, it has shown signs of prosperity.

The power of the "capital factor" rules accumulated in one day is now equivalent to the gains from converting ten taels of gold.

However, such calculations are quite vague, so during this period Zhang Gui created the unit of calculation, 'virtual and real', to measure the connection between the capital factor rules and the power of divine authority.

And one "virtual reality" is the consumption of one hundred and fifty kilograms of material in the mysterious realm, which is transported from Mushroom Valley to Upper Stone Corpse Capital.

Of course, with the improvement of Zhang Gui's extraordinary level, or the leap-forward development of the True Dragon Kingdom.

He now allows 150 kilograms of matter to teleport between Mushroom Valley and Shangshishijing, and the consumption of the mysterious field generated will definitely be very different from the future.

In fact, Zhang Gui discovered that compared with the previous ten days, the consumption of this teleportation in the mysterious realm has been slightly reduced.

In other words, the quality of the elemental rule power and divine power he possesses is constantly improving.

Therefore, as a unit of measurement, what is constant in "virtuality and reality" is not consumption.

Rather, the event of one hundred and fifty kilograms of matter being teleported from Mushroom Valley to Upper Stone Corpse Capital...

In the Guiyang Palace Square, Zhang Gui calculated the virtual and real numbers he had accumulated, which exceeded three digits.

If there were gold, silver, and copper mines underground in Shangshishijing, or if the population of Wangbei Village hadn't been robbed and most of the gold and silver they stole, the problem of Zhihai Village would have been much easier to solve.

It is a truth that we must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression.

But now the most he could do was to bring back the remaining two thousand taels of silver to Dongsheng Continent.

Take advantage of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month to win over people's hearts.

make up one's mind.

After Zhang Gui met Song Huawen and Sang Gui, who stayed behind to develop the business, he went for a walk on the street.

He randomly gave a speech that both reassured people and painted a rosy picture.

Afterwards, he reviewed the 1,000 newly recruited soldiers on the parade ground.

Although the army was small in size, he still enthusiastically expressed his highest respect for the soldiers defending his country.

And repeated the promise he had made to Gui Sang before.

One month after the army is formed, one hundred soldiers with the best military training performance will be selected and given extraordinary powers.

While Zhang Gui was sincerely painting a rosy picture, a familiar, fanatical face flashed before his eyes.

"Zhao Sanshi, why does this kid have such an expression?

Is the tolerance for chicken soup so low?

But he was weird when we first met."

Time is tight today, so he just thought about it.

Out of the barracks.

Zhang Gui hurriedly said goodbye to his makeshift troupe, took the five thousand taels of silver wrapped in whale skin, and teleported back to Mushroom Valley.

Several hundred kilograms of silver, even if it has been recast into silver plates, is still quite large.

If the whale skin bag he used was not made of a giant whale that committed suicide by washing ashore near Shangshishijing, it would probably not have been able to hold it.

Now it's very simple.

Zhang Gui used his incomplete original ability, 'Black God Explosive Weapon Master's Various Achievements', combined with the 'Heaven-Breaking Leader' from the God Cluster, and transformed into a giant with a golden body.

He grabbed the waist-length whale skin package with one hand.

Picking it up casually, the blood in his body surged, and Zhang Gui used the Flying Kick Technique in conjunction with the "Strong Foot" and flashed into the jungle like a giant bear as light as a bird.

At the same time, next to the huge tung oil hardwood door of Zhihaizhai.

An old scholar with a goatee, a gentle demeanor, and seemingly frustrated in his middle age, reached out and touched the broken iron buckle.

With a little effort, he lifted the entire wooden door up.

He shook the weight, a puzzled look on his face.

“Although this door doesn’t seem too heavy to me, the broken slot isn’t sturdy either.

However, "The Book of Zongheng" is a medium-level entry-level skill characterized by "agility".

Not to mention the newly accomplished 'D' class, even a 'C' class would find it difficult to break open such a gate.

There must be something fishy going on.”

He was none other than Guan Xihui, one of the right-hand men of Zhang Yan, the great bandit who turned against the Tiangang and rebelled against the Zhang family of Pingyang.

Originally, Li Yunbo, the old deputy governor of Zhihai Village, had calculated that he would not transport the smuggled goods to the military camp until after the Lantern Festival.

I didn't expect it to be a few days earlier.

As a result, Guan Xihui found out that the stolen goods selling terminal that he and his gang had used for many years was now managed by Zhang Gui, a young man who had made a comeback.

Moreover, the reason why Zhang Gui turned the tables was due to a conspiracy by his gang to bring disaster to the Zhang family.

I can't help but sigh that the changes in the world are really hard to predict.

It was also learned that when Zhang Gui first arrived at the military camp and was trying to establish his authority, he was unexpectedly knocked to the ground by the gate of Zhihai Village.

He couldn't help but be curious, so he hurried over with his men to find out what was going on without doing anything else.
