The treasury of the county government.

"Big boss, we have made a fortune, there are at least three thousand gold here!" Zhao Ping looked at the boxes of five-baht coins and gold in the treasury, and smiled.

They didn't expect to get so much money after getting food, which was a surprise.

"This should be the tax paid by Wuyin County, it is now December, Wuyin is a big county, and they have collected this year's winter tax, so there is a lot of tax, they will be transported to the county in January next year, but it has not been transported away, it fell into our hands, I didn't expect us to hit a positive!"

Makiyama said in a deep voice.

It has been two or three years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the city of Wuyin County has already returned to prosperity, such a big city, the geographical location is close to Nanyang, Runan, and the south comes to the north, the entrance tax, the business tax, and more than a dozen tax names, countless of them, and naturally saves a lot of taxes.

It's cheaper for them.

"Big boss, what do we do now?" Zhao Ping took a deep breath and asked.

"Seal all these cash boxes, don't make noise, no one is allowed to do it without my orders!" Mu Shan glanced at the silver and gold, gritted his teeth, looked away with difficulty, and said indifferently.

If they follow the usual practice, they will naturally be looted, but not this time, maybe they still need to survive here, and they have to leave a line as a man.

"Won't you transport it back to Mushroom Mountain immediately?" Zhao Ping frowned.

"Let's wait!" Makiyama shook his head.

"Why?"

"Maybe we don't need to go back to Mushroom Mountain anymore!" Makiyama said quietly.

Mu Jing has already told his father all his plans, although this plan is very risky, one careless, all of them will be head-struck, but it is undeniable that Mu Jing has already said that he has moved.

It's not because Mu Jing is his son, but because Mu Jing said that he was worried in his heart.

The Yellow Turbans have failed.

He always had a trace of hope that the Yellow Turban Army could make a comeback, because he knew that there were still many Yellow Turban soldiers and horses in various parts of the Central Plains, such as Runan, Liu Pi Gongdu, He Man and Huang Shao, in the hands of these commanders, there were few five or six thousand troops, and many still had tens of thousands of troops, as well as in the north, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Hebei, and Hedong, there were many Yellow Turban soldiers and horses who survived.

If someone raises their arms and exhales, they may not be able to get up again.

But now, he must clearly recognize the fact that the Yellow Turban has been defeated, the great sages and good teachers are still there, and the combined soldiers in their states are millions, and they can't overthrow the Han Dynasty, and now they have no chance.

can't revolt and occupy one side, it's just a rogue, and they can't be a rogue for a lifetime, he can be a grass coward for a lifetime, he can be a mountain king, and he can be infamous, but his son, a young man in the prime of their mushroom mountain can't be a grass coward for a lifetime, and he can't be looked down upon for a lifetime.

So he finally chose to take a gamble.

He put all the trust he occupied on a twelve-year-old child, if he won the bet, they would be able to live in the county in the future, and more than a thousand people under him would be able to live a stable life.

"We don't have to go back to Mushroom Mountain?" Zhao Ping frowned slightly, but soon came to his senses: "That's right, the Mushroom Mountain has been exposed, if you continue on the Mushroom Mountain, you will be defeated, but ......"

"Zhang Gu, have they settled down?"

Makiyama interrupted him, quickly changed the subject, and asked.

"Zhang Gu didn't enter the city, he took more than 1,000 old and weak women and children, and settled down in Xiaogou Village in the northwest outside the city, which was an abandoned village, when our Yellow Turban Army attacked Wuyin County, it burned for ten miles, and many villages outside the city were burned, this is one of them!"

Zhao Ping immediately understood that Mu Shan didn't want to say more, so he didn't continue to ask, he believed that Mu Shan would not pit them, he asked respectfully: "But I'm a little worried, all around him are old and old, small and small, or women and children, even if there are weapons in his hands, he has to take care of the prisoners of more than 700 elite county soldiers, it's okay for a while, I'm afraid there will be problems in the long run, after all, if these county soldiers recover their courage, it will inevitably cause chaos, they are all young and strong soldiers, or I will personally lead a hundred soldiers out of the city to join him!" ”

"Zhang Gu has always been steady, and it is indeed dangerous to take care of more than 700 young and strong captives, but with his ability, there should be no problem within three or five days!"

Mu Shan shook his head, looked into the distance with his eyes, and said: "Now the city is more dangerous, our troops are already small, although with the strategy of opening the city gate, luckily won the county government, but the most dangerous is those squires in the city, they have a lot of private soldiers in their hands, and they have been standing still, and they have been rooted here for many years, and their prestige among the people is very high, and they can gather troops to drive us away at any time, at this time, if we divide the troops, I am afraid that they will be eaten, and all the soldiers and horses must be concentrated, and the county government must be concentrated in order to delay time!" ”

He had been reluctant to take the city for reasons not least because he was short on troops.

There is also the fact that the water in the county is too deep for them to gain a foothold.

He was born in the Yellow Turban Army, and he is most familiar with the terrible families of wealthy families and local squires.

In the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Yellow Turban Army occupied Wancheng with lightning speed, Wancheng, how many wealthy families were hostile to them, they didn't care at first, in their opinion, they had soldiers in their hands, and the world was invincible.

But then they felt that these wealthy families were powerful, and the invisible influence of these families almost made them unable to gain a foothold in Wancheng, and there were thousands of private soldiers composed of young and strong guards such as long-term workers and tenants in each family, and raided them from time to time, for which they paid a heavy price, once even the commander Zhang Man CD was beheaded, Zhang Mancheng was angry, and the blood washed Wancheng, and in Wancheng, ninety percent of the wealthy families were wiped out by them.

Since then, Mushan no longer dares to underestimate the powerful and wealthy families in these places.

"Zhao Ping!"

"In!"

"You personally take a dozen elite scouts to keep an eye on the families in the city, and once they want to send troops to the county government, notify me immediately!" Mu Shan's voice was sinister: "I don't allow anyone to ruin Jing'er's plan, even if it is a fierce fight with them!" ”

"No!"

Zhao Ping nodded and left.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the east of the city, a large mansion with nine entrances and nine exits, covering an area of nearly 100 acres or more, surrounded by high walls, vermilion gates, two stone lions in front of the door, very majestic.

This is the Zhu Mansion.

The first wealthy family in Wuyin, a typical place, the three layers of land in Wuyin are in their hands, and even the county order Cai Tu has to be in awe on weekdays.

Wuyin Zhu is derived from Wancheng Zhu, Wancheng Zhu is not a local hero, but a well-known family.

The ancestor of the Zhu family in Wancheng was one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai that year, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the marquis, and the general of Jianyi, Zhu You.

And the ancestor of Wuyin Zhu is Zhu Ming, the son of Zhu Chong, Zhu You's great-grandson, Zhu Ming is a concubine, unable to gain a foothold in Wancheng, so he went out of Wuyin, and did a county order in Wuyin County for 30 years.

The head of the Wuyin Zhu family's generation, Zhu Zhan, his career was not smooth, he had been stumbling for 20 years, and now he is just a county prince.

At this moment, he was kneeling on the top of the main hall, his face a little gloomy.

"The head of the family, now that the thief army has occupied the county government, there are not many soldiers and horses, I will personally investigate, at most there are only five hundred soldiers and horses!"

The tall Zhu Tong has practiced martial arts since he was a child, his martial arts are outstanding, he is good at riding and shooting, he can lift five hundred catties of stone mortar with both hands, and make good use of a sixty catties of thick-backed knife, his rough face is like iron, standing under the hall, and said to the head of the family, Zhu Zhan: "Although our Wuyin family borrowed 400 soldiers to the county government, and the whole army was wiped out, but among the families, there are still 300 young and strong, if you contact the major families of Wuyin, you can raise more than 1,000 troops and exterminate them, no problem!" ”

"Wait!"

Zhu Zhan was a little blessed, but his eyes were as bright as fire, and the light was sharp: "These thieves are not successful, but my purpose is not in them, you gather the young and strong in the family first, and wait for my order!" ”

"No!"

Zhu Tong nodded and took the order.
