It is 30,000 soldiers and horses to support death, and if you want to take Shandong, it is obviously not in line with reality. Mao Wenlong, who updated the fastest, had no choice but to give up the method of using force, and in addition to force, there was only one way to outwit Shandong, and now it seems that there is only one way to buy people's hearts.

"Do you have any officials you know in Shandong, or former colleagues?" Mao Wenlong suddenly turned to look at Hong Chengchou.

"What are you going to do?" Hong Chengchou immediately became vigilant.

"Buying officials in Shandong, no matter how big or small, is okay." Mao Wenlong didn't have any concealment, and directly stated his purpose.

Hong Chengchou was silent, if he didn't rely on force, Mao Wenlong would indeed have the only way to go. But to bribe the officials of the imperial court, Mao Wenlong's current situation does not seem to be optimistic.

After some careful analysis, Hong Chengchou shook his head and said: "It is difficult to buy officials, after all, Shandong is not like Shaanxi, one is already rotten to the point that the people are not able to make a living, and wars are frequent. One has enough food and clothing, and the people are living a fairly stable life, and there is no comparison between the two at all. ”

Mao Wenlong frowned and refused to give up: "No matter what, you have to try, even if you can't get Shandong in the end, you must at least open up a retreat to the sea." ”

Seeing Mao Wenlong's resolute expression, Hong Chengchou no longer persuaded him, and he told Mao Wenlong about the two friends who had a little friendship in the past.

Mao Wenlong didn't think much about it, when he improvised an order, Haoda selected dozens of personal guards, and then took Hong Chengchou to make up as a wealthy businessman, and set off immediately.

On the carriage, Mao Wenlong asked with a smile: "Do your two friends have any special preferences?" ”

Hong Chengchou thought about it for a while, shook his head and said, "They are very ordinary, just a small boss in the Anton Health Center." Usually a little money, I like to go to Yunzhou Mansion to listen to Xiaoqu and drink some wine, but I don't have any other preferences. ”

"Listen to music, drink wine...... Very good, very good! Mao Wenlong suddenly burst out laughing.

In ancient times, there were only these two kinds of entertainment, wine and sex, and those two guys were stained, and Mao Wenlong was afraid that he would not be able to buy them.

"Haoda, change the route to Yunzhou Capital City." Mao Wenlong immediately ordered outside the carriage.

"Yes, young master!" Hao Da replied loudly, and then waved his whip and urged the horse to gallop.

The situation in Shandong is indeed much better than that in Henan and Shaanxi, and although there are still many bandits gathering in the wilderness at this moment, there are almost no large-scale battles. Although the people's lives are hard, they can barely make ends meet.

So on the whole, the situation in Shandong is stable, at least much better than Shaanxi.

Starting from Yexian County and crossing the Yellow River, Mao Wenlong's caravan of dozens of people hurried all the way to Yunzhou Mansion. Although there were also a few groups of bandits in the middle, they all saw that Mao Wenlong's side was strong, and those bandits did not dare to do it easily.

Ten days later, Mao Wenlong and his entourage arrived at Yunzhou Mansion safely, and after spending more than a dozen taels of silver to send off the generals guarding the gate, they entered the city smoothly.

Yunzhou Mansion is a more prosperous mansion in Shandong, the city is full of people, merchants, pedestrians shuttle through the streets and alleys, so lively.

"This Yunzhou Mansion is really good, it's quite prosperous!" Mao Wenlong probed out the window, and said to Hong Chengchou with a smile.

"Yunzhou Mansion is near the sea, and most of the land here is not suitable for planting, but it is rich in salt. In addition, in recent years, it has been relatively dry, which has brought a lot of convenience to drying salt and boiling salt, so it has not been affected by natural disasters, but has benefited a lot. ”

After listening to Hong Chengchou's explanation, Mao Wenlong suddenly realized that there were so many merchants here. It turns out that there is such a reason for the prosperity of this Yunzhou Mansion, which is no wonder.

"Young Master, where are we going?" The vast and careful carriage slowly moved along the street with the flow of people.

"Find a place to stay first, and then inquire about the most famous Qinglou tavern here." Mao Wenlong responded with a smile.

"Okay, young master!" Hao Da responded and ordered someone to go to the front first to see if there was a suitable place to stay.

An hour later, Mao Wenlong and others stayed in the downtown area, an inn called Youkelai.

Dozens of people are naturally unable to open any room, so under the recommendation of the store, Mao Wenlong simply chartered a courtyard in the backyard of this inn.

After settling down, Mao Wenlong took Hong Chengchou and Haoda, as well as ten personal guards, and left the inn to go around the city.

If you want to find out the news, it must be the best tavern, Mao Wenlong found a tavern with a more atmospheric atmosphere and a good business to eat.

After ordering the more famous local wine and food, Mao Wenlong smiled and said to Hong Chengchou: "Why don't you write to inform your two friends later, saying that you came to Yunzhou Mansion and asked them to come out to meet you?" ”

Hong Chengchou glanced at Mao Wenlong, didn't say anything, and nodded straight and said, "Yes, but I don't guarantee that they will be invited." After all, my current identity is no longer an official of the imperial court, but a traitor in the eyes of the imperial court. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded understandingly: "It's okay, as long as you write a letter, I'll let someone send it over, and I won't involve you in the rest of the matter." ”

Hong Chengchou was satisfied, and the two stopped talking.

Soon after, the wine and food came up, and the thirteen people silently drank and ate food without saying anything, but they were not idle, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to the chatter of the other table, and absorbed the information that Mao Wenlong needed.

It wasn't until late in the evening that Mao Wenlong checked out and returned to the inn.

Hong Chengchou returned to his room, asked the inn for pen and paper, splashed ink in front of Mao Wenlong, and wrote a letter.

After Mao Wenlong got the letter, he directly found the shopkeeper of the inn and asked him to help deliver the letter to Anton Wei.

After spending a few taels of silver, the shopkeeper smiled and promised to deliver the letter tonight.

When night fell, the lights came on, but the liveliness of Yunzhou Mansion did not disappear, but became more prosperous.

Merchants from all over the world, after the busy day, the evening is the time for them to talk with the owner about business. The restaurant and the Qinglou are like a city, and the traffic is busy, so it is not lively.

Seeing that the business of every family was so hot, Haoda couldn't help but blush and said: "Young master, these restaurants, green buildings, and every family are so popular, don't you have to make a lot of money in a day?" ”

Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou looked at each other and smiled: "These restaurants and green buildings obviously have big backers behind them, so they can make money safely." Don't look at the bustle now, you get a lot of money in a day, but there are not many people who really distribute it to the store. ”

Haoda still didn't understand what Mao Wenlong meant, but he didn't ask any further.

Mao Wenlong didn't continue to explain, at this moment his eyes were already attracted by a rather atmospheric green building.
