Not in its place, do not know its receiving; Not in his body, not in his pain.

Wang Ling sat in the special study of the head of the Wang family, looking at the important things that the previous head of the family, Wang Gai, had not had time to take away:

a detailed list of the property and population of the Wang family in Qi County; The land title deed under the name of the Wang family of Qi County;

Wang Ling looked at it and said in shock: "This is really corruption!" With such a large amount, how many people's lives are needed to fill it. ”

Wang Ling once served as the county magistrate of Fagan County for a period of time, and offended many people because he cared about the people and was young and vigorous.

Because Wang Ling knows that the current chaos in the world is mainly because of the harsh exploitation of the common people by these families.

Not only did they forcibly occupy the land of the people under various pretexts, but they also demanded that the people bear high taxes on their behalf.

It is precisely because of this that the people are miserable and unable to live that there will be the Yellow Turban uprisings in various regions first; Later, there were groups of heroes from various regions competing for hegemony.

Wang Ling once vowed: "If I hold the power one day, I will definitely get rid of these 'tumors', return the people to a prosperous future, and return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world." ”

However, Wang Ling is not only too whimsical; And doing things is too sharp.

Wang Ling had not been sitting in the position of county commander for long before he was brought down by Wang Gai, who was jealous of his clan. Only then did Wang Ling clearly know that he had made a mistake.

The power of the family is too strong, and he can take down his small county order with a flip of his hand.

Wang Ling is in prison and has nothing to do. After carefully thinking about the cause and effect of the matter, I came to a conclusion:

"If you want to get rid of a family, you must first become a family; Then understand the family, so that you can prescribe the right medicine, and finally the medicine can be cured. ”

It is precisely because Wang Ling has such ambition that he will strive to win the position of the head of the family at the family meeting of the Wang family in Qi County yesterday.

After Wang Ling finished reading the list of assets, he had a general understanding in his heart;

I carefully read another material, which was about Han Cheng's details.

After reading this material, Wang Ling, who has always regarded himself very highly, felt a wave of shame in his heart: "Han Cheng is only twenty years old, the same age as himself, but he can guard one side and the people.

And he can only be in the family, for the position of the head of the family. Why is there such a big gap between people? ”

Through the materials, Wang Ling had an understanding of Han Cheng, and vaguely felt: "Han Cheng's main purpose of going south this time should be land. ”

Wang Ling straightened out his thoughts and said in his heart: "Wang Gai, the 'first evil' of the Wang clan in Qi County, is dead, as long as he hands over some of his clansmen and says that they have done things that endanger the people, and give Han Cheng a step.

Let Han Cheng give an explanation to the people.

and then donate a large amount of land in the hands of the Wang family in Qi County, so this branch of the Wang family in Qi County will not worry about their lives, and maybe they can be an official again and become a county magistrate. ”

But with his current prestige in the clan, it was not enough for the Wang clan's clansmen to hand over the land.

Therefore, Wang Ling got up and first went to the mansion to find the most virtuous and respected person in his vein, Wang Man, and explained the stakes to Wang Man.

Although Wang Man is reluctant to give up the land, he is already over half a hundred years old, and he can still distinguish which is more important, land and life.

Therefore, he promised Wang Ling: his own lineage will definitely support Wang Ling at the family meeting, and after Wang Ling heard it, he had confidence in his heart.

The next day, the Wang family of Qi County convened a family meeting again.

At the meeting, Wang Ling said to the Wang family: In this situation, everyone can only survive by doing two things! ”

As soon as everyone heard that they could live, they quickly asked: "Don't say two things, even if it is ten things, as long as we can do it, we will definitely agree!" ”

The rest of the crowd also hurriedly catered and said, "Yes! Oh, yes! The head of the house quickly said how to do it! ”

When Wang Ling heard this, hey, come on! The titles have all changed, and they are all called the head of the house. It seems that it is really "who wants to die, who is in a hurry".

Wang Ling cleared his throat and continued: "The first thing is that each family needs to hand over all the land they occupy! Each family can leave up to twenty acres of land. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Xi, who had always been dissatisfied with Wang Ling as the head of the family, took the lead in speaking: "What? Let's hand over the land?

The land is our life, how can we hand it over? I don't care, no matter what the situation, anyway, I don't pay, whoever I love will pay whomever I love. ”

Wang Ling knew that when it came to land, there would definitely be people who disagreed.

That's why I greeted Wang Man in advance, explained the stakes, and asked him to arrange people from his own line to support him.

Wang Ling saw that Wang Xi was the only one who spoke, so he continued: "Who else disagrees, let's talk about it together?" ”

Everyone is also hesitating, after all, one side is the land, and the other side is life. Therefore, no one answered Wang Ling's words.

Wang Man knew it was time to speak for himself.

Although Wang Man was also distressed when he took out a large amount of land, Wang Man still stood up and said to the people in his line: "Wang Ling was elected by me, I believe in him!" I am willing to take out my family's 8,000 acres of land and hand it over to Wang Ling, and he will hand it over to Han Cheng in exchange for our life. ”

With the greeting in advance and Wang Man's leadership, the people of Wang Man's line all took out their own land deeds: the large ones were five or six thousand acres, and the small ones were nearly 1,000 acres.

Wang Xi saw that Wang Man's people had reached an agreement, and he didn't need to guess to know that it was prepared in advance, so he stood up and said:

"Who knows what Wang Ling is doing with these lands, I don't believe that these lands can save our lives.

But as long as the land is in our hands, Han Chengcheng will not dare to rob it openly, after all, it is now the world of the Han Dynasty, not the world of Han Cheng, and the Han Dynasty still has a law. ”

After Wang Ling listened to Wang Xi's words, a trace of murderous intent flashed on his face.

"Wang Xi, Wang Xi, if you don't agree alone, I won't embarrass you; But you're obviously stirring up people against me, so how can I tolerate you? ”

Wang Ling knew that now was not the time to release his killing intent, but this kind of thing must be suppressed by forceful means. Killing chickens and monkeys, there will be time in the future.

Wang Ling retracted his murderous anger and said to everyone in the clan with a smile: "I am saving everyone's lives now.

If you believe me, you will take out the land title deed; If you don't believe me, I won't force it, I just hope I won't regret it in a few days! ”

The people of the Wang family who had not handed over the land looked at Wang Xi for a while, and Wang Ling for a while, but they were still hesitating.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Ling looked at the title deed of more than 30,000 acres of land in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.

After all, with the more than 50,000 acres of land in Wang Gai's hands, there are already more than 80,000 acres of land.

These lands account for five or six tenths of Taiyuan County, and if they are handed over to Han Cheng, this 'vote for name' will be much worse.

"Since so many people disagree with the first thing, then it's okay not to say the second thing." Leaving only one sentence, Wang Ling got up and walked out of the conference hall alone.

Wang Ling held the title deed in his hand, came to the Fenwu army general stationed in Qi County, and said:

"I am Wang Ling, the current head of the Wang family in Qi County, and I have something important to ask to see Lord Han Cheng, can this officer pass it on on my behalf?"

Tun General saw that Wang Ling's identity was compelling but polite, and his favor doubled. arranged for one of his soldiers to report to his boss, and the boss of the general reported to his boss, layer by layer, and finally reached Han Cheng's hands.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Han Cheng's personal soldiers came to the Wang family's mansion and said to Wang Ling: "The lord invites Wang Ling, the head of the Wang family, to go to the county government hall to see him. ”

After listening to the words of his own soldiers, Wang Ling tidied up his already neat clothes, and then followed his soldiers to the county office.

......

In the county office, Han Cheng's study.

Li Ru and Fu Zhu reported the specific harvest of the battle of Qixian to Han Cheng.

First of all, the frustrated professor who was in charge of counting the grain said: "The amount of grain harvested in this battle of Qixian has been counted, plus the grain stored in the granary by the Wang clan before, we have harvested no less than 300,000 stone of grain in this battle, which is enough for an army of 100,000 for a year. ”

Han Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this figure: "It seems that in the past year, the military rations of the Fenwu Army no longer have to worry. ”

After listening to the report, Li Ru said: "The number of captured soldiers has also been counted, excluding the 'evil' and the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, there are more than 30,000 strong men. ”

After hearing this, Han Cheng became even happier and said, "With so many captives, according to the regulations of the Fenwu Army, we have a lot of 'no money' labor in the past few months!" It seems that some things can be planned in advance. ”

Happily, Han Cheng said to Fu Zhi and Li Ru: "This battle has helped us a lot!" ”

Fu Zhu and Li Ru were also very happy in their hearts, and said jokingly to Han Cheng: "It seems that the day when we will be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister is getting closer and closer. ”

Han Cheng replied unceremoniously: "Of course. ”

Just when the three of them were happy, Han Cheng's personal soldiers at the door came in and said: "Wang Ling, the head of the Wang family of Qi County, asks to see the lord. ”

Although he has been busy with work recently, the work of Li Ru's intelligence battalion has not been put down, and when he heard the words of Han Cheng's personal soldiers, he immediately reacted and said to Han Cheng:

"Congratulations, my lord, someone has come to give the land again, today is really happy."

Han Cheng had seen Wang Ling's information before and felt that what Li Ru said was right. Then he said to his own soldiers: "Let him come, let me see what is important to this man of my age who wants to see me?" ”

After a cup of tea, Wang Ling came to the county hall and saw the three of them sitting in the hall.

Sitting in the center, the young man with extraordinary instruments and a handsome face is Han Cheng, who is the same age as himself.

It's better than not knowing, it's more frightening! Just looking at his appearance, Han Cheng's bearing is not comparable to himself, although this year, everyone is twenty years old.

The other two, needless to say, Wang Ling also knew, must be Han Cheng's henchmen, Han Feng and Fu Zhi.

After Wang Ling saluted each of the three, he said respectfully: "Villain Wang Ling, meet Lord Zhou Mu, Lord Changshi, and Lord Captain." ”

Han Cheng was indeed in a very good mood today, and said with a slight smile: "I'm just the Taishou of Yanmen County, how can you call me the state pastor?" Your sycophant is obviously on the horse's hooves. ”

Wang Ling said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Lord Zhou Mu is humble.

At the beginning of the year, the villain was still the county magistrate of Fagan County. I have seen the imperial court's inscription, which reads in black and white, 'Appoint Han as the pastor of Jizhou, the Taishou of Yanmen County, and the general of Anbei'.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the villain visiting the state pastor. ”

Han Cheng saw Wang Ling's appearance and said in his heart: "With this speaking ability alone, this person is definitely a talent!" ”

If anyone who knows a little bit of history will despise Han Cheng fiercely now.

Wang Ling, Prime Minister of Cao Wei. The battle of Shiting turned the tide; In this era, he is a rare talent in both civil and military affairs.

Han Cheng was not too entangled in the issue of the state pastor, and said softly to Wang Ling: "Is there anything important that the head of the Wang family came to see me this time?" ”

Wang Ling replied: "I'm here to ask for a life for the people of our Wang clan in Qi County. ”

Han Cheng laughed and said in his heart: "It's true that I'm here to give away the land, but this Wang Ling is also a smart person." ”

Then he tentatively said to Wang Ling: "Where did you start with this?" ”
