Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Fang Jian was speechless: "Isn't it absorbed directly by the system?"

"All transactions in the system involve opening space wormholes and placing bio-humans in transactions."

"Don't trade for now. Wait until we control Xinyuan County before trading."

After a group of people had lunch in the bandit's stronghold, they were escorted by soldiers and had the captured bandits transport the seized supplies to the foot of the mountain, load them onto an ox cart, and drive towards where the truck was parked. The ox cart was bought nearby.

Because they were escorting a large amount of supplies, it was already noon when they arrived at the station, so Fang Jian ordered: "Guoxuan, order the cooking on the spot, Hanzhou, find out the surrounding situation and ask which way Xinyuan County is going."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the two immediately went to execute it. Fang Guoxuan arranged for someone to cook, while Wei Hanzhou took two soldiers and drove a car along the road to find the nearest county town to inquire about the news.

After lunch, the team rested for half an hour before Wei Hanzhou and the other two drove back.

"Young Master, Lingshan County is ahead. If you go west through Lingshan County, you will reach Xinyuan County." Wei Hanzhou came to Fang Ji'an and introduced.

Fang Jian took out six cans of meat, handed them to Wei Hanzhou and the two soldiers, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you, sir." Several people took the cans and began to devour them.

This can of food was also donated by the system. It was top-quality canned beef and tasted very good, but the quantity was a little small.

Looking at the three people who were eating voraciously, Fang Jian instructed Fang Guoxuan, "Rest for fifteen minutes, then set off."

"Commander, a large amount of supplies and more than a hundred prisoners have been added, and our ten trucks can't carry them all." Fang Guoxuan said hesitantly.

Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "I will lead a platoon and a machine gun crew, sitting in eight trucks, to deliver supplies to Xinyuan County first."

"I'll leave two trucks for you. You take the rest of the people and the prisoners and slowly head towards Xinyuan County."

"Yes." Fang Guoxuan saluted and went downstairs to make arrangements.

From where we were to Xinyuan County, we traveled a total of more than 200 kilometers. The truck was traveling at 60 kilometers per hour, and it took more than three hours to reach Xinyuan County. The county town in this world was much larger than the one on Blue Star.

Xinyuan County is located between two mountain ranges, and the county is right at the junction. Looking at the city wall of Xinyuan County from a distance in the car, Fang Ji'an felt a little proud.

He couldn't help but think secretly: "I will be the county magistrate here in the future, and this will be the first piece of territory I control."

Seeing the trucks coming from afar, the militia officers and soldiers on the city wall were on alert. A leader said, "Xiao Sanzi, go inform the county lord that a convoy is coming."

"The rest of you, guard the city gate and find out who is coming."

"Yes." Everyone answered in unison, and a skinny young man came down the wall and ran towards the city. The rest of the regiment's officers and soldiers all looked serious and stood on guard with their old sleeves in hand.

Several soldiers outside the city gate dragged the barricades next to them to the middle of the road, blocked the city gate, and pointed their guns at the oncoming convoy.

At the head of the convoy was the car in which Francis Xavier was riding, which stopped ten meters away from the barricades, and the trucks behind also stopped one after another.

In addition to the driver, Fang Tianming was sitting in the passenger seat, while Fang Jian and Wei Hanzhou were sitting in the back seat.

Fang Jianan instructed Fang Tianming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Tianming, go to the trunk and take out the letter of appointment and negotiate with them."

"Yes." Fang Tianming got out of the car, went to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took out the letter of appointment and Fang Jian'an's ID from the trunk.

Holding the letter of appointment and the certificate, Fang Tianming came to the barricade and said, "Who is in charge here? Our commander is the new county magistrate of Xinyuan County, and also the commander of the militia."

"Please wait a moment. I have asked someone to invite the county magistrate." Upon hearing that it was the new county magistrate, the leader on the city wall said hurriedly.

After saying this, he trotted down the city wall, out of the city gate, and came to the chevaux de frise, pointing at it and commanded, "Take it away quickly."

After receiving the order, several militia soldiers immediately dragged away the barricades in the middle of the road.

"Sir, I'm Liu Yong, the squad leader of the militia." Liu Yong, the leader, said with a non-standard military salute.

"Yeah." Fang Tianming nodded slightly without paying much attention.

Soon two rickshaws came from the city, with several followers on both sides. The rickshaws stopped at the city gate, and the two men ran straight out of the city gate.

When Liu Yong saw the person coming, he saluted again and called out, "Director Chen, Secretary Li."

Director Chen wanted to ask Liu Yong what happened, but seeing Fang Tianming standing beside him in a neat military uniform, he did not dare to delay and asked, "Sir, I am Chen Guangwen, the director of the Xinyuan County Government. May I know who you are?"

"Our commander is the new county magistrate of Xinyuan County and also serves as the commander of the militia. I am the deputy company commander of the commander's guard company." After introducing these, Fang Tianming handed over the letter of appointment and Fang Jian'an's identification document.

After taking the letter of authorization and ID from Fang Tianming and looking through them carefully, Chen Guangwen felt a little embarrassed.

There is naturally no problem with the letter of appointment, but Zhang Kaiyuan, the county magistrate of Xinyuan County, has been in office for three years, and they have not received any transfer order or resignation notice.

I looked up at the other party's convoy. This kind of truck is rarely seen in the small place like Xinyuan.

Under the leadership of Fang Tianming, Chen Guangwen came to Fang Ji'an's car. He hesitated and said, "Commander Fang, our Xinyuan County has not received any notification from the new county magistrate. We still need to inform the county magistrate of this matter."

The other party had not yet officially assumed the office of county magistrate, so Chen Guangwen naturally could not call him County Magistrate Fang. Instead, he addressed him by another title, the militia commander.

There was still a county magistrate in Xinyuan County, but Fang Jian didn't care. He not only had the letter of appointment but also the army, so he was not afraid that the other party would not hand over the power.

Fang Jian ordered: "First, you arrange a place for us to station the troops. I will handle the affairs of the militia first. Give the county magistrate five days to complete the handover."

Seeing that the other party did not immediately move into the county government, Chen Guangwen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No problem."

"Liu Yong, you lead the way and settle the militia base in the city for the commander." Chen Guangwen then instructed Liu Yong.

"Yes." Liu Yong was very happy to receive Cheng Guangwen's instructions. He would lead the way for the new county magistrate. If he did this well, he would be able to leave a good impression on the new county magistrate.

Chen Guangwen looked at Fang Jian and said apologetically, "Commander, I will inform the county magistrate immediately. Let Liu Yong take you to the security corps station first. I will come to visit you later."

"Yeah." Fang Jian nodded slightly, not dissatisfied with the arrangement.

Then he ordered: "Let Liu Yong sit in the back truck and let the truck lead the way to the base first."

"Yes." Fang Tianming replied and went to make arrangements.

Chen Guangwen's mind became active when he saw the new county chief coming. With such a large group of people coming, he must have a strong background. The current county chief must be leaving soon. Even if he can't make friends with the new county chief, he can't offend him.

What's more, he is just a small cadre, how can he not have a good relationship with the new county magistrate?

"Commander Fang, your ID." Chen Guangwen handed Fang Jian'an's letter of appointment and ID back to Fang Jian'an.
