Chapter 712: Ma Chao and the others enter the infinite
Ma Chao nodded to Wuji Ling at this time, and then said to him: "Please also ask the county commander to go back and tell Zhen Yan, the head of the Zhen family, that tomorrow, I should personally visit the Zhen family!" ”
When Wuji Ling heard this, his heart said that this is? Although he knew that what Ma Chao said should be true, but in this case, did he really go to visit the Zhen family, or did he do it for something else. But to be honest, none of this has much to do with him, and he also knows that he just needs to bring the words. As for the rest, that's Ma Chao and Zhen Yan's affair with the two of them.
So he hurriedly said, "No! I will bring the words of the general to the end! ”
Ma Chao nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand to a few people, and a few people understood, so they said goodbye to Ma Chao, and then left the Chinese army tent. For them, although Ma Chao didn't enter Wuji City tonight, this is not the most important thing, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't enter. The most important thing is that Ma Mengqi has accepted the surrender of himself and others, so this is what he and others value. And after looking at the expression of the person, there was no displeasure, but he was quite satisfied with himself and others, so it was enough-
The reason why Ma Chao didn't enter Wuji City was not because he was afraid of anything. In fact, for him, it is not that he has never entered a city that is more difficult than Wuji, so is he still afraid of such a dangerous Wuji. The reason why he didn't go into the city was that he really didn't want to move anymore tonight, and he didn't feel the need. It's not that I'm in a hurry to win Wuji, and it's not that I have to enter Wuji, I'm not in such a hurry, so why should I be in a hurry. It's not too late to go in tomorrow, and it won't be you who is so anxious.
I came to Wuji by myself. It was not to seize such a county, but to meet Zhen Mi and the people of the Zhen family, so he came. If the Zhen family didn't have Zhen Mi, then they wouldn't have come to Wuji, it's that simple. As for the officials who came to his big tent tonight, they were all Wuji's officials, and the head of the Zhen family didn't come, so Ma Chao was not dissatisfied. For him, he will definitely meet Zhen Yan, the head of the Zhen family, tomorrow, and let Wuji Ling bring his words, which is enough.
As for Zhen Yan not seeing herself tomorrow? That's impossible. If he is still the head of the family, he is not an idiot, he will definitely see himself, needless to say, it is impossible for the Zhen family to let an idiot be the head of the family. So Ma Chao on this. I don't have any worries, he said. It's just how you do what you want to do. You have to make people willing-
On the second day, Ma Chao took Dian Wei Guo Jia and others into Wuji.
The local people have no antipathy to the Liangzhou army coming here. is still the same thing, Yuan Shao ruled the people against him. Especially the people of Jizhou, it is indeed not very good, this is true. Therefore, many people under Yuan Shao's rule really don't like him very much. So in the eyes of many people. No matter who comes, as long as it's not that Yuan Shao, then everyone should be better than him.
Because the tax rate under Yuan Shao's rule is the highest in the world, otherwise what would he do to feed his hundreds of thousands of Jizhou troops. Therefore, it is the people who suffer the most. Of course, if you want to say that Yuan Shaozhen "takes taxes from the people and uses them for the people", then that's fine, at least the people will not be like this. But he took the tax from the people and used it for himself, so that there were still a few people among the people who could not hate him.
Originally, at the very beginning, Jizhou was affected by the Yellow Turban, and was affected by the war, and Jizhou was rectified at once, and the population declined sharply. But when Yuan Shao became the ruler of Jizhou, of course he also recovered some, but he couldn't stand up to this tax too much, so the people were really miserable. Although after the Jizhou Yellow Turban Rebellion, after Yuan Shao came, it was considered peaceful, but in essence, there was not much difference between Yuan Shao and Zhang Jiao.
The most similar thing between the two is that they both destroyed Jizhou, but there is nothing wrong with this, and it is only the people of Jizhou who suffer, and the people under Yuan Shao's rule.
In fact, looking at the thirteen states in the world now, the highest living standard of the common people is still under the rule of Ma Chao. After all, the tax rate under Ma Chao's rule is the lowest in the world, because Ma Chao's main source of money and food is not taxes, but other things. So he doesn't really care about taxes, in his opinion, as long as the tax rate is low enough, then people can live better, and they can thank you, it's as simple as that.
The second is Cao Cao's rule, don't look at Cao Cao's previous lack of money and food. But to be honest, even when Cao Cao was in difficulty, he didn't increase taxes, otherwise the people under his rule did support him, and this is not without reason.
Because for the people, even Cao Cao's reputation seems to have a lot of bad things, but he is good to the people under his rule, so the people naturally support him very much. Don't look at Cao Cao being said by many people to be a thief and a traitor, but under his rule, except for Xuzhou, it can be said that Cao Cao's reputation is really good.
To be honest, it should be said that the vast majority of the people in the world don't know much and don't pay much attention to what kind of thief Cao Cao is and what kind of traitor he is. Some of them only know that the Emperor Lu Dao is in Xudu, Cao Cao is an official, and some people know that Lu Dao is Sikong, so much more, and others don't know Lu Dao. As for other things, no matter how detailed they are, there are a few ordinary people who can understand the Tao. Even if you can know a little more, it's hearsay, and if you ask them, they won't be able to say anything.
If you want to say that the people are still popular today, this is not bad. But for the people, who is the emperor and what dynasty is definitely not the most important. For them, the most important thing is how to eat enough, not starve to death, solve the problem of food and clothing, and then talk about other problems, it's as simple as that-
In addition to Ma Chao's subordinates, those who followed Ma Chao into the city were those Wuji officials last night, as well as some local figures with heads and faces, such as the head of the family, who was also on the side, and Zhen Yan, the head of the Zhen family, was here.
After Ma Chao entered Wuji with his subordinates and guards, the Liangzhou Army first took over Wuji's city defense, and then Ma Chao came to his mansion under the leadership of Wuji Order. As for Wuji's government affairs or something, they were all handed over to the people of the Liangzhou Army, so Ma Chao didn't have to worry about anything.
Wuji Ling, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant held a banquet to entertain Ma Chao and his party, which was all necessary. And Ma Chao can't help it, Chinese people, they all love this. It seems that it has not changed since ancient times, and it has always been.
As for himself, it's not good not to give face to this, after all, some affairs of Wuji City have to rely on these people. What do you say by yourself and others, after all, they are outsiders, don't look at the people who are indeed not too resistant to their own Liangzhou Army, but Ma Chao doesn't know how to do it, this matter still has to be done slowly-
After the banquet, Ma Chao chatted with everyone for a long time, and then let everyone disperse. After all, he still has something to do, so he has to visit the Zhen family today, which was said last night, and he can't help but fulfill it.
In the previous banquet, everyone else was still a little worse and had no worries, but only Zhen Yan, the head of the Zhen family, was a little absent-minded, thinking a lot, and still worried. Why is it because last night, he listened to the original words of Ma Chao, who was brought back by Wuji Ling, who came back from the Liangzhou military camp, and said that he was going to visit Zhen's house today, which scared him.
Come to visit yourself? What do you have to visit? It's not a day or two since he Ma Chao and Ma Meng started to fight the world, but it seems that he really hasn't heard of it, which family head he has visited. Anyway, I don't have the impression that he said that he was going to visit him, and he still had the Zhen family, so he didn't offend him, he didn't offend his subordinates, and he didn't offend the Liangzhou army, but this ......
You can't blame Zhen Yan for thinking so, she didn't think about anything good at all. The key is that he is not a bold person in the first place, let alone a particularly smart person with any strategic skills, so it is inevitable to think of this, and he is timid. As for how a person like him can be the head of the family, I have to say that the Zhen family is not a rich family, but I have to say that it has long since declined. So there is no talent at all, so that he "pulls out the big man in the man", and he becomes the head of the family like this.
It can also be said that the Zhen family really has no talents, otherwise Zhen Yan could have been so panicked all the time, and he didn't even discuss with someone, isn't it because no one can discuss.
And the marriage contract between Zhen Mi and Yuan Xi, whether it is Zhen Mi or some people from the Zhen family, I really don't want the most precious pearl of the Zhen family to marry Yuan Xi, who has no ability. But the last one still had to compromise, what was it for, wasn't it all because the Zhen family really didn't have anyone to come, and the last thing could only be to marry a daughter to curry favor with Yuan Shao, the overlord of the four northern states.
In fact, if you take the door as a family, the two of them really have nothing in the world. But what the Zhen family is not satisfied with is that Yuan Shao and Yuan didn't take this as a thing at all, for him, he just knew the way, and then he treated it as a trivial matter. So for the Zhen family, if this is the strength of his own family, will he Yuan Ben be like this?
But who makes the family powerful, so there is no way to do it, even if you don't want to, you don't like it, but you have to compromise. (To be continued......)
