If you want to defend Huzhou City, everyone faces many difficulties, after Gao Ji came to Huzhou City as Zhang Liangqing's chief secretary general, the first thing he had to solve was two big problems, one was money, and the other was soldiers.

Fighting a war is about the soldiers and horses before moving the grain and grass first, this is about money, can you give a sum of money to these tiger soldiers who aid Huzhou, this is very critical, if you have no money to give to others, why should people give you desperate, anyway, my family is not in Huzhou City, can I keep it or not!

So at this time, you have to talk about money, you have to make money, you have to spend money, but the problem is that the money has been almost used, you have to put aside the usual two days to delay the salary, I don't care if you are happy or not, I have to do it. Because there is no money, when will I give it to you, anyway, I am not greedy for money, if you are not happy, you will not be happy.

But now it doesn't work, you have to use other soldiers when you fight, if you don't give money, the soldiers are not happy, the soldiers are unhappy, the consequences are very serious!

So Zhang Liangqing didn't dare to take this risk, if you don't give money, what if these soldiers mutinied? So he had to get out the money that should be issued, but the imperial court's salary would not come for a while, if the silver was not sent on time, and the army's morale was dissipated, it would be even more difficult for the already crumbling Huzhou City to defend.

So this matter must be solved by Gao Ji, otherwise why would Zhang Liangqing invite you so hard?

The second is that after temporarily stabilizing the morale of the army, these foreign aid soldiers are not easy to use, these soldiers are really not taking advantage of it, so if you really want to resist and want to break the siege, you have to have a group of your own soldiers, obedient soldiers, so who will do this? Everyone studied there, and finally thought of a person, he did the most suitable job, this person is the fan fence who guards filial piety at home! More on that later.

Let's start with the first thing, what do you do with this money? Everyone actually thinks about the same, that is, to squeeze it from the local rich households, the key is how to squeeze? It's something to consider, something to measure.

Gao Ji said: Start with the richest man, the second richest, the third richest, and the fourth richest...... These people start to squeeze, whoever has the money to get it, and then you pay some money. Of course, it's not for nothing, our government can give you an IOU, and in the future, I'll make a big deal to pay you back with interest, won't you?

But Zhang Liangqing is a new governor who has just been transferred, he doesn't know the local situation, and he doesn't have time to understand, so who to look for? Who are these richest people, the second richest, the third richest man, and the fourth richest man...... How do I get them to pay when I find it?

Gao Ji made a move and said: I know these people, these richest people, the second richest, the third richest, and the fourth richest man...... Without exception, they are all second-generation officials, or relatives of official families, so getting this money out is not a squeeze for the common people! In this way, we will first find these people to eat, and on the grounds that you are a new official, we will have a meal with these local rich tyrants, which will not make them feel strange, because these people still need the government to take care of them more when doing business, and the government also needs to communicate with them more. In addition, these richest people have more or less official backgrounds, so it is not very embarrassing or strange to get together for dinner!

So, Zhang Liangqing did so, and found these people one by one, and everyone at the dinner table praised each other, talked and laughed and drank very well, and was full of interest, frequently raising their glasses, and the guests and hosts exchanged opinions on issues of mutual concern in a joyful manner, and expressed their own opinions.

But after three rounds of drinking, Zhang Liangqing stood up and began to get down to business, saying: What about the love of the people of Huzhou and everyone, I can come to Huzhou Province to take office at a critical juncture, and I am fortunate to be able to meet you.

The polite words said, everyone saw that the governor had expressed his position, so everyone had to praise it, and they all said: Yes, Lord Zhang came to our Huzhou City at a time of crisis, and led the soldiers and civilians of the whole city to resist the thieves together, we really admire, admire!

After the greetings, Zhang Liangqing said: The emperor sent me here to be the governor, I am loyal, I go to Huzhou Province, at this critical juncture, I vow to live and die with Huzhou City. But now I have a problem, those rebels outside, those thieves are still eyeing us, the people are afraid, I see that the people are afraid, I feel uncomfortable!

Speaking of which, those richest men are not brainless people. Do you think the governor can come to us for dinner for no reason? There must be something wrong, so the richest men said: Master Zhang, what problem do you have, say it! If you can do it, we can do it, and if you can't do it, we will find a way to do it!

Zhang Liangqing said: Poor money! I hope you can generously contribute some money, we are now constantly having reinforcements, but we are short of silver, without silver this battle can not be fought, if this is really broken silver, the consequences of the army's discouragement are unimaginable. A few of them are rich and noble, and they are loyal, and I am now borrowing some silver from you in the name of the governor of Huzhou. When the thieves have retreated and the difficulties have passed, I will immediately report to the imperial court and return the money to you with interest.

When these words are said, several of the richest people actually have a number in their hearts, and they have been thinking about it countless times in their hearts, so they said that if I don't agree, how can I agree, if I promise how much will each of us give? It's not that simple.

If you don't agree, you won't be able to pass this pass by the governor, and the old and young masters and villagers won't be able to pass this pass, and the most real: if Huzhou City can't be saved, you have to let the rebels rob you of how much money you have, so these rich people have to get this money.

The question is who has more and who has less, and how? How do we calculate this interest? These things have to be understood, and these bargaining things still have to be done, after all, no one's money is blown by the wind!

So you have to negotiate, both sides have chips, both sides have the number of roads, and they also have hole cards. So both sides discussed and discussed, Zhang Liangqing's side is to move with reason and emotion, and strive to make these richest people pay more money, and the second is to speak well, cooperate with Gao Ji to be a good person, and wait for Gao Ji to come out and squeeze, and he will persuade everyone to take a step back from the middle!

So when everyone discussed for a long time and didn't see a follow-up, Gao Ji pierced this layer of window paper, stood up and said directly: Don't you want to discuss? I have just asked people to send your sedan chair to withdraw, today I will trouble a few grievances to sit here, when you discuss it, then I will let people send you home!

These richest people are stupid when they hear it, they stipulate the time and place, I will go, I am really not allowed to go! At this time, a group of people came out of the side hall, all of them were tall and mighty, holding big knives and guns, looking very scary, standing on both sides of the door.
