After receiving the report from the servants, the seven families of Little Stone Town gathered at the city gate to welcome the first battalion.
Although the new mayor didn't come, he had sent out an army, which was enough. It was fine if the new mayor didn't come. Otherwise, they would have to divide the benefits now. They still didn't know what kind of person the new mayor was.
At least it gave us a buffer time to understand the new mayor's personality and preferences
However, apart from the Jia family, the heads of the six families were a little disappointed. What a good opportunity to build a good relationship with the new military officer was ruined by these useless things. They had promised to treat the new mayor or his army politely when they arrived at Locust Tree Village, but their true nature was exposed when they arrived there. When they heard the news, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
These bastards are too useless
Standing in front of the city gate of Xiaoshi Town, the 7 elders watched the grandpa of Jia Clan with admiration. They knew that only Jia He of Jia Clan had a good relationship with the military officer. Additionally, it was said that this army was very powerful with sophisticated weapons. There were over 100 machine guns and fancy traps in total. Such a weapon configuration could never be seen in the security corps of the surrounding towns.
Judging from their aura, they were definitely an elite army.
It seemed that the news they had heard before was true. The new mayor's 100 soldiers had wiped out Shi Dayou's 1000-man security regiment. With such a powerful army, they could only build a relationship with them and not offend them. Otherwise, they would not be able to stay in Little Stone Town.
However, all of this was messed up by those brats. Now, they could only clean up the mess for them.
These old people are really tired now
Old Master Jia was already in his seventies, but he was exceptionally happy today. Out of the seven families, the Jia family had come out on top. His eldest grandson had really given him face.
His originally decayed body was now full of energy.
The people who entered the city were curious about what had happened.
All of them stopped at the city gate. After asking the servants of the seven families on both sides of the city gate, they found out that it was the army sent by the new mayor. They were also very curious about what kind of army was worth the heads of the seven families coming out to welcome.
After all, it was not the new mayor who came personally. It was just the army he sent.
After more than an hour, the entire city gate was filled with people. They all wanted to see how majestic the new mayor's army was. After all, the seven family heads usually did not come out easily. Other than when Shi Dayou occupied Little Stone Town, these seven family heads only came out to welcome him once. Usually, other people could not receive such treatment.
They were very curious about how much face the new mayor's army had to make the seven family heads value it so much.
Not only did the residents of Little Stone Town come out to watch, but many nearby villagers also came out to watch. After all, their future safety depended on this army.
In the past, Shi Dayou did not care about them, but they maintained a basic stability. At least, there were not many incidents of bandits attacking the village. They also wanted to know how this army was like.
Would it be better than Shi Dayou's army?
The people of this era were so simple. As long as the army did not harm them too much and the bandits did not harm them too much, they would be satisfied as long as they could survive, even if they had to pay heavy taxes.
What a low requirement
But not many warlords can do this
Shi Dayou looked down on the agricultural tax paid by the villagers, so although the surrounding villagers were not living well, they could still barely survive.
They are already very happy
Although they still had to face the exploitation of bandits, they could still barely survive. They were afraid that if the new mayor was cruel and imposed heavy taxes, they would suffer if they could not survive.
Because the new mayor's army seems to be much stronger than Shi Dayou's army
They did not dare to resist at all
Just as the people at the city gate were discussing,
In the distance, an army appeared from the other side of the mountain.
When the people saw the entire army, they all gasped.
" Hiss, so, so many machine guns. Those soldiers look so fierce and orderly. Just this point alone, they are definitely much stronger than the previous Shi Dayou's security group. No wonder they were able to wipe out the entire Shi Dayou's security group."
"Yeah, I just don't know what kind of person the new mayor is. If he's more brutal than Shi Dayou, then we'll be sad in the future. Sigh ~"
Some of the people were talking about how strong the 1st Battalion was, and some were discussing whether their lives would change because of this troop. They knew very well that there were many warlords in Sichuan Province. Moreover, the warlords in Sichuan Province were different from the warlords in other places. The warlords in Sichuan Province grew up barbarically.
As long as someone had a gun, you would be the ruler of a county town. Whether it was taxes or the arrangement of government officials, it was all up to you.
He didn't need to care about the opinions of other warlords or the higher-ups. Under normal circumstances, those big warlords wouldn't say anything.
Because after you take it down, you still have to be able to hold on
Therefore, after Mu Yuan conquered Little Stone Town, he became the new mayor of Little Stone Town. He did not even need to be appointed by the higher-ups because he did not know who the higher-ups were.
Even the regular army of the regiment in Anyuan County did not know that Little Stone Town had changed hands. Even if they knew, they would not send troops to manage it. It was just a change in the owner of the town. As long as Mu Yuan did not attack Anyuan County, they would be in peace.
At this time, Jin Bo had already arrived at the city gate with the 1st Battalion. He saw the seven old men standing there with a smile on their faces.
Jin Bo didn't care about his status and saluted them.
The seven old men were embarrassed because they didn't know how to reply to Jinbo.
Fortunately, Jia He, who was beside Jin Bo, stood up and introduced them.
" Grandfather, family heads, this is Battalion Commander Jin Bojin, the chief officer of the army sent by the mayor to guard Little Stone Town. Battalion Commander Jin, this is my grandfather, the family head of the Jia family. And this is the family head of the Li family. This is the family head of the Zhang family. This is..."
Jia He introduced their identities with reason and evidence. Jin Bo didn't salute again and also greeted them with cupped hands.
This way, the few of them would be more relaxed.
They were very embarrassed just now
After the introductions, the young masters of the clans who were walking behind the 1st Battalion also walked behind their elders. They lowered their heads and looked disappointed, especially when they saw Jia He acting as a bridge between the two sides.
In my heart, I have a resentful anger for my child.
At the same time, he also lamented that the Jia family had a good heir.
At least in terms of interpersonal relationships, there was a huge gap between Jia He and his juniors.
Jin Bo asked after he was done with the formalities.
"Old Master Jia, is our camp ready?”
Old Master Jia was very happy today. He smiled and said,
"Battalion Commander Jin, the barracks have been cleaned up for your army. They can move in today. In the future, the defense of Little Stone Town will depend on Battalion Commander Jin's protection."
Jia He, who was standing beside the old man, also nodded in agreement.
Jin Bo laughed.
"Of course. Since we have taken over the defense of Little Stone Town, we naturally have to protect the safety of Little Stone Town. Please rest assured about this."
The heads of the other families had always wanted to build a relationship with Jin Bo, but now was not a good time.
Jia He smiled and said,
"Battalion Commander Jin, I will bring the soldiers to the barracks. You and the family heads should go to the banquet. I'm afraid the family heads have already booked a banquet to entertain you."
The others cupped their hands and said,
"Battalion Commander Jin, please do us the honor."
Jin Bo didn't want to embarrass them and smiled.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
The few of them politely invited Jin Bo to the Jia family.
The banquet was held at the Jia family's house.
Jia He took the 1st Battalion to the barracks.
The moment they arrived at the military camp, all the soldiers unloaded all their weapons and equipment. After that, all the military officers had organized all the soldiers to clean and disinfect the military camp. Jia He was dumbfounded.'It turns out that these soldiers are not only spirited but also very strict about hygiene. They have even taken disinfection measures. At least my family has not taken such measures.'
The strength of an army could be seen from these details.
At least he had never seen such a regular army.
The warriors cleaned up very quickly. Because no one was playing tricks, their speed was extremely fast.
And Jinbo had already eaten with the various family heads.
After eating and drinking to their hearts 'content, it was time to get down to business. The distribution of benefits in Little Stone Town had to be made clear today.
In the past, Shi Dayou was very strong. The people of the seven families could only survive under his oppression.
They did not want the new mayor to be like Shi Dayou.
Then, Jin Bo did not discuss with them and directly showed them the tax and plan that Mu Yuan had asked the government officials to formulate.
After the few of them finished reading, their faces were filled with shock, and their hands trembled as they said,
"Battalion Commander Jin, is this true? Was this really the tax ratio set by the mayor? This is too low."
Jin Bo laughed.
"Of course it's true. This is a tax plan formulated by our professionals. What do you think?”
The few family heads looked at each other and saw the surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes.
