The Zhang family's mansion is located in the east of the county, at the end of a street, where many small families gathered, all of which were some merchant families who mainly lived in the county with the Zhang family.

Zhang Nahai and they got off the carriage in front of the door, and naturally someone from the Zhang family came out to lead the carriage to where it should go. As for Zhang Nahai, he took Zeng Yu and others towards the hall.

On the way here, Zeng Yu asked the head of the Zhang family and Zhang Fuguang if he was at home, and Zhang Nahai told Zeng Yu that they were all there. It turned out that the last time Zhang Fuguang met Zeng Yu, he came back from Luoyang, and it took more than a month to sell the goods brought back from Luoyang, and at the same time raised supplies, planning to set off for Luoyang in a few days.

Zhang Nahai did not let his subordinates tell him, and directly took Zeng Yu and them to the door of the hall, and asked the four of them to wait outside for a while, and he went in to report by himself, at this time Zhang Fuguang and his father were chatting in the hall.

"Second uncle, why did you come back at this time, but what's the matter with the inn?" Zhang Fuguang saw Zhang Nahai suddenly appear, and asked in surprise.

"Fuguang, I brought a few guests to visit my eldest brother, and they are still your old friends." Zhang Nahai replied.

"Friends? I don't know who it was, but I asked the second uncle to bring it over in person. ”

"Yes, Nahai, is the guest you are talking about from the capital?" The Zhang family's advocate Nashan also asked.

"Big brother, let me sell it, they are outside the hall at this time, I'll call them in, you will know as soon as you see it." Zhang Nahai said inscrutablely.

"Butler, go and invite the distinguished guest at the door, and I will see who it is." Zhang Nashan said to the butler who was serving on the side.

After the housekeeper came out, he saw four young men waiting outside the hall, and it was Zeng Yu and a few people. They saw the housekeeper coming over and asking them if they were the distinguished guests Zhang Nahai said, and several people hurriedly replied humbly, and the housekeeper led them to the hall.

Zhang Fuguang was still curious about which old friend it would be, he had been in business for many years and had known many people, so it could be said that there were a lot of old friends, so he couldn't guess it for a while. After seeing Zeng Yu and them come in, he recognized at a glance the young man Zeng Zirui who had impressed him two months ago.

"Zirui, I didn't expect it to be you, I heard you say that you went to join the army, but I don't know if you have other plans to go back to Anping County now?" Zhang Fuguang greeted him, took Zeng Yu's hand and said cordially.

"Brother Zhang, I came here this time to thank you for taking care of my brothers before." Zeng Yu bowed to Zhang Fuguang, he was indeed very grateful for Zhang Fuguang's help, without him, Sun Hao and the others would not have been able to settle down in Anping County so quickly and buy the manor.

"What's polite, I see that you are just swimming in shallow water, and one day you will leap into the dragon gate, and now I take care of you, and it is just an investment as a businessman." Zhang Fuguang said happily.

"That's the case, but the care is real, this must be the head of the Zhang family, right?" Zeng Yu asked.

"The old man is Zhang Nashan, Zirui Gongzi is really a talent, no wonder Fuguang often mentions you to me." Zhang Nashan said.

"The head of the Zhang family has won the award, it is really Brother Zhang's high view, I have always heard that the head of the Zhang family is a rare Confucian businessman, not only the family history, but also the way of management, the Zhang family is even more rigorous, I saw it today, and it really deserved its name." Zeng Yu said to Zhang Nashan.

"Haha, Childe is polite, please take a seat. Come on, serve tea to the guests, serve good tea! Zhang Nahai smiled, invited Zeng Yu and the four of them to sit down in the guest seat, and asked people to bring tea.

"The head of the Zhang family is polite, you are an elder, just call me Zirui." Zeng Yu expressed his gratitude to Zhang Nashan, and said modestly.

"Naturally, Zirui, don't call me the head of the Zhang family, just call me Uncle Zhang." Zhang Nashan did not shirk, and said at the same time.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang." Zeng Yu hugged his fists and saluted.

"Big brother, Zirui asked me to bring them over, saying that there is a big deal I want to talk to you about in person." Zhang Nahai guessed a little before, and wanted to listen to Zeng Yu himself as soon as possible, so after watching everyone say hello, he said to Zhang Nashan.

"Oh, I don't know what big deal Zirui has?" Zhang Nashan listened to his second brother's words, looked at Zeng Yu, and asked in surprise. According to what he learned from Zhang Fuguang, Zeng Yu and the others had just planned to join the army two months ago, and when they returned to the county seat at this time, he really couldn't guess what the deal was.

Zeng Yu looked at the surrounding subordinates and maids, Zhang Nashan understood what he meant, asked the subordinates to go down, and arranged for the housekeeper to guard outside the door, and told him not to let people come in and disturb without his own approval. The housekeeper grew up in the Zhang family, and he was loyal to the Zhang family.

After Zeng Yu saw that everyone had gone down, he opened his mouth and told the three of them his plans. When the three members of the Zhang family heard that Zeng Yu actually wanted to donate this Anping County order, they immediately felt that it was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. There have been such precedents before, outsiders did not know the situation, donated a county order, but did not do it for long, and died of illness or accident. Although the court knew that it might be artificial, there was no evidence, and second, the Cui family gave filial piety to some big people in the court. So over time, no one is willing to donate this Anping County Order, which is why Cui Yu has reached the age of Zhishi, but no one has come to take over.

"Zijin, do you have a detailed understanding of this Anping County Order?" Zhang Nashan thought for a moment and asked Zeng Yu slowly.

"Back to Uncle Zhang, I asked my brothers to know about Anping County before, and I barely knew some of the situation. At present, Anping County is mainly headed by the Cui family, and the three major families stand on three legs and jointly control the power of the county. However, I also have a certain amount of strength at present, and I can at least not have too much disadvantage after donating this county order. Zeng Yu knew that he had to show self-confidence at this time in order for the Zhang family to be willing to believe in himself and support him.

Zirui didn't know that the three major families were related to Cui Countyling's interests. Although Cui County Commander does not have direct soldiers and horses in his hands, there are nearly 2,000 county soldiers in the county, plus the private soldiers of their three major families, there are almost 10,000 people together. If they do it to you, will you be able to handle it? Zhang Nashan heard the confidence in Zeng Yu's words, but he felt that Zeng Yu might not know Cui Yu's power, so he persuaded him.

"I guessed this only before, but these county soldiers are negligent in training, not to mention their private soldiers, it's okay to bully the civilian people in peacetime, if you meet a well-trained army, you don't need half of the men, at most two thousand, you can defeat them." Zeng Yu replied, at this time, his body exuded a sharp momentum, which made the three members of the Zhang family feel a palpitation.

"But we don't have such troops, although my Zhang family also has some guards and private soldiers, but the three major families are the same, and they are even inferior to them in number." This is Zhang Fuguang's voice, the recruitment and training of the family's private soldiers over the years have been handed over to him by his father, so he knows the situation of his family's private soldiers very clearly.

"Hahaha, Fuguang, don't worry, I have people, and they are definitely elite divisions, with at least two thousand or more." After Zeng Yu laughed, he said to Zeng Yu.

"Is what Zi Rui said true?" When Zhang Fuguang heard this, he stepped forward and took Zeng Yu's hand and asked in surprise.

"If there is no army, I don't dare to fight the idea of the position of the Anping County Commander." Zeng Yu said proudly.

"Then I don't know what Zirui needs us to do?" Zhang Nashan asked at this time.

"If I enter Anping County, Cui Yu and others will definitely attack me in order to seize power and squeeze out me. So I need you to help me keep an eye on what they're doing so that I can know myself and my opponent. In addition, most of the positions of the county government are now held by people from the three major families, and they need to be cleared out, and then the operation of the county government needs to be recommended by Uncle Zhang, some reliable family members to help. Zeng Yu said.

Zhang Nashan and the other three looked at each other, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while, they wanted to follow Zeng Yu to take a risk, but they were afraid that if they failed, their Zhang family would be wiped out like those families who rebelled against Cui Yu before.

Zeng Yu saw this and knew their hesitation, but he knew even more that if he wanted a businessman to take risks, he had to give them enough benefits. So, he said again: "If the Zhang family can help me at this time, after the matter is completed, Uncle Zhang, you will be the master of Anping County, and I can make the decision to hand over one-third of the number of officials to Uncle Zhang for arrangement." ”

Zeng Yu knew that if there was the support of the Zhang family, he would be able to stabilize the situation in Anping County faster. After all, if the three major families were all taken down by his new county order, the remaining families would definitely be uneasy. If the Zhang family comes out and explains to other families as a local native, it will definitely be able to better subdue other families, and it will be able to make Anping County enter the rhythm of Zeng Yu more quickly and become the most important engine for his future chariot.

"Okay, I, Zhang Nashan, agreed on behalf of the Zhang family!" When Zhang Nashan heard Zeng Yu's promise, he gritted his teeth and agreed, and Zhang Nahai and Zhang Fuguang next to him were naturally very happy, they just wanted to persuade Zhang Nashan, who was hesitant.

"I believe that Uncle Zhang will find out in the future that this is the wisest decision ever." Zeng Yu said.

"I don't know when Zirui is going to leave for the capital?" At this time, everyone knew that Emperor Ling was selling official beards outside the palace in the capital, but he also needed to go to the capital in person.

"Naturally, the sooner the better." Zeng Yu said.

"We will leave for Luoyang in three days, and then you can accompany our caravan."

Zeng Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, "That's just right!" We are not familiar with the Luoyang area, and we can take care of each other with the caravan! ”

Zhang Fuguang smiled and said, "Then it's decided, we will gather in the woods outside the South City Gate in three days." ”

When we were done talking, the servants came in and said that the meal was ready.

Zeng Yu and the others wanted to leave, but they were stopped by Zhang Fuguang, and Zhang Nashan also asked them to stay for a Chinese meal, and the four of them did not refrain and stayed.
