Finally, Zhang Ming led the team into Youzhou.

At this time, Youzhou is calm on the surface, but the inside is turbulent.

The will has been transmitted to Youzhou, and Zhang Ming has the power to distribute taxes in the entire Youzhou.

"Gong Lu, dare to go to Jixian County with me."

Jixian County, Youzhou Governor's Office, Zhang Ming wants to control Jixian County, and there is no way to avoid it here.

"Lord Taishou, his subordinates are now Liaodong Don't drive, Taishou has orders, how dare you disobey." Lu Zhi said.

Zhang Ming nodded, and then ordered: "The team is heading for Jixian County and will stay in Jixian County for a few days. ”

When Zhang Ming approached Youzhou, the county guards were very nervous.

Just suppressed the rebellions of Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others, and the same is true of Gongsun Zhan, who took office as the Taishou of Youbeiping.

Gongsun Chan has ideals and revenge, but these must be built on the basis of money.

The taxes are all paid, and he takes what to arm the army.

Youzhou is too guarded, no matter whether there is any retaliation, they are always unwilling to hand over the tax power.

Gongsun Chan has been sad for more than ten days.

On the same day, he heard Zhang Ming enter Youzhou and was depressed.

At this time, his cousin Gongsun Yue came to him.

"Big brother, are you still worried about paying taxes?"

Gongsun Chan didn't answer, but it was obvious that he was worried about this.

Gongsun Yue hesitated for a long time, standing in front of Gongsun Chan for a long time.

Gongsun Chan saw that he had something to say, so he said: "There are no outsiders here, just say it if you have something to say." ”

Gongsun Yue took a deep breath and said, "A few days ago, the Yuan family sent someone to find me, wanting to get rid of Zhang Ming, and their Yuan family kept us fine. ”

Gongsun Zhan was taken aback, opened his eyes wide and said, "But the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes? They didn't know that they were plotting to kill the court officials, but they were going to behead all the people. ”

"Big brother, in this world now, there are no soldiers and no money in your hands, just other people's fish and meat."

"Nope." Gongsun Zhan categorically refused and said: "Killing the court members without permission, conspiring against them, and destroying the family, our Gongsun family will be doomed, even if the Yuan family can make the court not pursue it, but we will eventually disagree with morality and will inevitably lose all the hearts of the people." ”

"Big brother, if Zhang Ming is killed by thieves..."

Gongsun Chan did not speak again, but sat down in a chair and fell into deep thought.

"Prepare a prayer post and gifts for me, I will go to Jixian County to wait for Zhang Ming."

After sighing, Gongsun Chan said angrily: "Such a faint monarch actually handed over the tax revenue of a state to a Taishou for use. ”

Gongsun Chan wanted to salute first and then soldier, and it was impossible to hand over all the taxes, but if Zhang Ming agreed, he might be able to pay a small amount of money to Zhang Ming every year, and then the two sides would not interfere with each other.

"In addition, the rest of the Taishou in a row, let's go to Jixian County together."

Gongsun Chan wanted to unite everyone to oppress Zhang Ming and make him take the initiative to give up the right to tax.

When Zhang Ming and the others arrived in Jixian County, Gongsun Zhan and the others had already arrived.

Gongsun Zhan came directly on a horse, not knowing how much faster than Zhang Ming with a lot of baggage.

Entering Jixian County, Zhang Ming did not go directly to Gongsun Zan and the others, but first found a place to live and inquire about the information first.

Zhang Ming first called Guan Zhangzhao and Xi Zhicai.

"A few Taishou from Youzhou gathered here, just to force me to give up the right to tax, and now that Gongsun Chan is taking the lead, I'm afraid they will not be able to deal with it."

Xi Zhicai saw that Zhang Ming was determined to oppose everyone and asked for this tax.

In Xi Zhicai's opinion, it should be done slowly, but Zhang Ming obviously didn't plan to do this.

"My lord, although we have the power to collect taxes, but if we don't have the cooperation of the county guards, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to have any effect, so it's better to talk to them about how much to pay every year, I think they are willing." Xi Zhicai said.

What Xi Zhicai thinks, and what the county guards think, both sides can compromise.

"Hmph." However, Zhang Ming snorted coldly and said: "I'm not optimistic about this world, sooner or later there will be chaos, let's intervene in the counties as soon as possible, and if something happens in the future, we can deal with it in advance." ”

Zhang Ming didn't say it very clearly, and he didn't directly say that the world was about to be in chaos.

Xi Zhicai did not continue to persuade.

Zhang Ming said to Guan Zhang Zhao: "Zilong, you first escort Yan'er and the baggage team back, Yun Changyi is virtuous and talented, and I will meet them." ”

Everyone promised.

Zhang Ming was in a meeting here, and so were Gongsun Chan and others.

The rest of the Taishou gathered in the private room of the Tanglin Restaurant to talk about things.

"Gongsun Taishou, Zhang Ming acted according to orders, we must cooperate, but we can't hand over all taxes in vain, if Zhang Ming takes it and squanders it, how can we maintain the operation of the county, it's not a big mess."

Several Taishou nodded yes.

Gongsun Zhan was full of righteous indignation, and he was dissatisfied with the decision of the imperial court, and he had a bottom in his heart.

Gongsun Zan looked around and said, "My lords, we can only abide by the will of the imperial court, but if there is no tax, Zhang Ming can't force us to pay it, otherwise he will collect it himself?" ”

"The will of the imperial court, we can't fight it, we should also negotiate with Zhang Taishou to find a way, it is best to fix how much to pay, the situation of each county is different, such as some counties are harassed by Wuhuan and Xiongnu all the year round, not to mention taxes, it is good to survive, so we all talk to this Zhang Taishou together, we must give a proper way, otherwise the government of each county will not be able to operate."

Gongsun Chan greeted him, and everyone agreed.

With Gongsun Chan taking the lead, the next thing is simple, the Taishou of the counties unite, if Zhang Ming disagrees, the final result is that Zhang Ming can't collect the tax of a copper coin.

Both sides have discussed it internally.

Zhang Ming waited in Jixian County for two days, and finally officially gave the posts to the counties.

"Tonight, we will charter the entire Tanglin Restaurant, and invite all the Taishou, the second brother and the third brother, you and the other two will each bring a hundred people to guard the door of the restaurant, and the rest of the soldiers will stand guard on both sides of the street."

This is the rhythm of the whole martial arts.

"Whoa."

It is not easy for others to charter the Tanglin Restaurant, but Zhang Ming is simple.

This Luo Quan had already secretly gone to Jixian County to cooperate with him.

Zhang Ming gave the posts to the county princesses.

Gongsun Chan lived in a makeshift courtyard, looking at the posts and asking the soldiers to report on the situation outside.

Gongsun Yue was also on the side, and after the reported soldiers left, Gongsun Yue said: "Big brother, this chapter is not small, and it is not so easy to take over the entire Tanglin Restaurant." ”

"It's not good, I'm afraid this chapter will be a lot."

"Big brother, if Zhang Ming really refuses to cooperate, let him disappear when the time comes." Gongsun Yue brought up the old matter again and wanted to kill Zhang Ming, but Gongsun Chan didn't think it was necessary to do that.

With the cooperation of the Yuan family, he may really be able to fool the court, but the eyes of the people in the world are bright, and the cost of murdering one party is too great.

Both sides are ready, it's up to us to talk tonight.

In the evening, Zhang Ming arrived early and prepared everything at the Tanglin Restaurant.

The lobby of Tanglin Restaurant has been arranged to become a large banquet hall that can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.
