Wang Zhongkai died unjustly!
For a moment, Mayanmin felt a little lucky.
In fact, when he went to the banquet last night, his thoughts were the same as Wang Zhongkai's, and he was sure that Han Zhen did not dare to kill him.
The only difference is that he has resentment towards Zhao Song in his heart.
Therefore, under Han Zhen's coercion and inducement, he agreed.
Looking back now, their ideas are ridiculous.
I'm afraid that when he invited them to the banquet, Han Zhen had already made up his mind. If they didn't agree, he would go on a killing spree and kill all three of their families.
At this moment, Mayanmin looked at Han Zhen again, his eyes had changed.
Previously, they felt that he was not a thing in the pool, and might stir up troubles. Now that they learned that Han Zhen was preparing to win over the hearts of subordinates in the world, Mayan Min vaguely felt that Han Zhen was about to succeed.
Since ancient times, rebels can only achieve great achievements by conforming to the general trend.
Liu Bang returned the army to Bashang and made three chapters, which won the hearts of the people in Guanzhong.
After Liu Bang was driven to Bashu, all the elders in Guanzhong missed the King of Han.
Li Yuan supported Yang You and took advantage of the situation to win over the Guanlong clan.
You must know that in the late Sui Dynasty, the Eighteenth Route Army rebelled against the king, the Sixty-Four Smoke and Dust, and Li Yuan was not the only one who came from a well-connected family.
The reason why you can conquer the world is to know how to be patient and follow the general trend.
When others couldn't wait to proclaim themselves kings and emperors, they raised the banner of bringing order to the chaos and established Yang You as the acting king.
Who is Yang Yoo?
Yang Guang's grandson.
Although everyone knows that Yang You is just a puppet, he still has great righteousness, so he can successfully get the support of Guanlong Group.
People like Huang Chao and Zhu Wen, who are not in a position of great power, can only achieve temporary prestige, but will not last long.
But now, Han Zhen has taken a different approach, bypassing scholars and starting with subordinate officials, which is also the general trend.
As long as Han Zhen raises his arms and shouts "I share the world with the subordinate officials" after the incident, I am afraid that millions of subordinate officials throughout the Song Dynasty will respond, open the city gates, and welcome Han Zhen into the city.
Thinking of this, Mayanbang's eyes flashed and he said, "I wonder if the county magistrate will be free tonight? I have prepared a small amount of wine and would like to ask the county magistrate to thank me."
Old fox!
Su Wenhuai on the side cursed secretly in his heart.
How could he not know what Mayanbang was thinking? He had the same idea just now, but it was just a step too late, and this old man beat him to it.
Han Zhen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "If you are invited by Foreign Minister Ma, how can you not be free?"
Mayan Min felt happy and cupped his hands and said: "In that case, I will be waiting for the county magistrate tonight!"
After a few more compliments, seeing officials coming to see Han Zhen to handle official business, Mayan Min and Su Wenhuai left one after another.
After leaving the government office, Su Wenhuai said with a smile but not a smile: "Brother Demeng is really a good trick!"
Mayanmin was surprised and said, "Brother Shucun, what do you mean?"
"Ah."
Seeing him pretending to be dumbfounded, Su Wenhuai smiled inexplicably and got into the bullock cart with Su Zhaode's help.
Watching the Su family's ox cart go further and further away, Mayanmin also boarded his own ox cart.
After getting on the bullock cart, Ma Yundi couldn't help but ask: "Father, what did Su Gong mean just now?"
"You stupid head."
Mayanmin said with hatred, "If a hundred years pass, I'm afraid that the Ma family will decline in your hands."
"What my father taught me was that children are stupid in nature." Ma Yundi said with a low eyebrow.
Mayanmin sighed slightly: "So, I found a way out for the Ma family for my father."
"What's the way out?"
Mayundi looked confused.
Mayanmin replied: "I am going to give Youyou as my concubine to Han Zhen."
"this……"
Ma Yundi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Although the fourth brother died young, Youyou is also the legitimate daughter of my Ma family, how can she be my concubine?"
"hehe."
Mayanmin smiled self-deprecatingly and said with emotion: "It's still a matter of debate whether we will succeed or not. People may still look down on our Ma family."
Ma Yundi retorted: "Probably not."
"What did my father teach you in the past? Take one step at a time and look at the next three steps. Don't just look at the road in front of you. Then Han Zhen is going to be great. Even if he can't conquer the world, he can still be the king of the land. By then, my Ma family will count again. What did he do? How does it compare to the Xie family and the Liu family?" This was his own son. If it were anyone else, Mayanmin wouldn't even bother to explain.
Mayundi was surprised and said: "Father is so optimistic about Han Zhen?"
Mayanmin slowly closed his eyes and did not answer. He just warned: "You, from now on, do your errands carefully in the government office and don't be too ambitious."
The eldest son of my family is praised for his appearance as a middle-aged man.
I'm afraid he couldn't even be a good ruler, otherwise he wouldn't have decided to give his most beloved granddaughter to Han Zhen as his concubine.
…
…
Under the scorching sun, a team marched along the official road.
In front of the team were five hundred Qingzhou Army soldiers wearing iron armor, and behind them were oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages.
The bullock carts and carriages were not carrying goods, but subordinate officials wearing black and red uniforms.
Zhang He was riding on his horse, looking at the county town in the distance.
This was his first time to come to Yidu County, and he couldn't help but sigh: "After all, it is a county town. The city is tall and the pool is thick, far beyond what Linzi County can match."
Hu Zhong on the side was also full of surprise: "Such a big city can only accommodate 30,000 to 40,000 people?"
Hearing this, Zhu Ji smiled and said: "Three to forty thousand? The county's population is at least hundreds of thousands."
"A hundred thousand people?"
Zhang He and Hu Zhong both took a breath.
In their eyes, Linzi County has a population of several thousand, which is already very lively. What is the concept of a population of hundreds of thousands?
They can't imagine.
After coming back to his senses, Hu Zhong frowned and said: "With so many people living there, wouldn't it be necessary to produce tens of thousands of kilograms of feces and urine every day? The city shouldn't be filled with stench?"
Zhu Ji twitched the corner of his mouth and explained: "There is a night fragrance man in the city. Every morning, he will collect night fragrance from door to door, then transport it outside the city and sell it to vegetable farmers in nearby villages."
"You can make money with your excrement and urine, you are worthy of being a county." Zhang He said in wonder.
Zhuji really didn't want to discuss shit, piss, etc., so he just kept silent.
Half an hour later, the long queue was only two to three hundred meters away from the city.
I saw a cavalryman running towards me, shouting loudly.
"Who is coming?"
Zhang He rode up to meet him and shouted: "Qingzhou Army Battalion Commander Zhang He is here under orders!"
"Battle Commander Zhang?"
The cavalryman was stunned at first.
When the cavalry approached and saw Zhang He clearly, the cavalry said seriously: "The county magistrate has issued an order, and ordered battalion commander Zhang to lead his subordinates to the government office to report on their duties."
"I will obey your orders!"
Zhang He responded with cupped fists.
After temporarily settling the five hundred Qingzhou soldiers in the city tower, Zhang He led Zhu Ji and his subordinates to the inner city government office.
The bustling streets dazzled all the subordinate officials.
All the way to the government office, after the announcement, everyone walked into the government office.
"I've met the county magistrate!"
In the lobby, Zhang He and Zhu Ji both raised their hands in greeting.
Han Zhen didn't waste any time and directly ordered: "Zhang He, leave two hundred soldiers to take over the city defense, and the remaining three hundred soldiers will move to the naval camp in Zhenhai. There are more than three thousand prisoners of war who dare to attack the army in the camp, and some of them are tough ones. Join the Qingzhou Army, and the remaining ones will be organized into the auxiliary army."
"I will obey your orders!"
Zhang He responded with cupped fists.
