County office, backyard.

Wang Lei and Guo Jia sat opposite each other, and Du Yi was sitting next to him.

At this time, Du Ji was counting the list of gifts sent by the gentry of Wuji County one by one. After Guo Jia spread the news that the Black Mountain thieves were about to attack Wuji County again, the gentry and businessmen of Wuji County were frightened, and they came to visit the county government one after another, giving Wang Lei money, armor, weapons, etc., and asked Wang Lei if he could stop the Black Mountain thieves?

For the businessmen of Wuji County, Wang Lei's use value lies in the fact that he blocked an attack by the Black Mountain thieves. With a success, the businessmen would rather break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and spend a little money to let Wang Lei continue to resist and become their first line of defense.

Even if Wang Lei didn't block it, the businessmen would only lose a little money. Or even if the news is fake, the money and food given to Wang Lei by businessman Macon can form a good relationship and have a relationship with Wang Lei.

There is no harm in all kinds of benefits, and businessmen will naturally not give up opportunities.

After Du Ji finished counting, his face was overjoyed, and he said excitedly: "My lord, Feng Xiao spread the news this time, and the effect is rich. According to my statistics, the harvest was nearly 10,000 stones, nearly a million yuan, as well as a number of armor and weapons, enough for us to equip a team of 1,000 people. It's a pity that at the moment they are all infantry, and there are no war horses equipped with cavalry. ”

Wang Lei smiled and said: "Brother Bohou, this is just the beginning, don't worry, give me half a year, I will definitely be able to form a strong team, and then it will be a real foothold." ”

Guo Jia also said: "What is lacking at present is time, and we must have enough time to grow ourselves. ”

Wang Lei changed his words and said, "It's a pity that Zhen Yan hasn't come yet." ”

Guo Jia didn't take it to heart at all, and chuckled: "Zhen Yan is here, adults can harvest a lot of money and food." But Zhen Yan doesn't come, we still have a plan to deal with it, could it be that adults are soft-hearted? ”

Wang Lei chuckled and shook his head, and said lightly: "If the Zhen family doesn't take the initiative to give in, it will be self-defeating, no wonder I." If I want to control Wuji County, there can be no disobedient people. As the first merchant in Wuji County, the Zhen family has more than 100 million yuan and countless money, and I believe that Zhang Yan is very willing to cooperate with us. In the face of interests, enemies can also be transformed into friends. ”

Guo Jia smiled, his eyes full of anticipation.

Du Ji didn't agree with Wang Lei and Guo Jia's strategy, but it felt quite good to count the money and count the cramps in his hands, so he acquiesced.

"Your Excellency!"

Fu Bo strode over and reported: "Lord Qiyu, Zhen Yan came to the door to ask for a meeting." ”

"It's coming!"

Wang Lei had a smile on his face and ordered: "Please come to the living room, I will arrive later." ”

After Fu Bo left, Wang Lei had no intention of leaving.

Du Yi asked: "Zhen Yan is visiting, don't you want to greet the adults?" ”

The corners of Wang Lei's mouth raised a smile, and he said unhurriedly: "Zhen Yan came to the door, sharpened his patience, and let him know the dignity of the identities of both parties." Don't let him hurt it, he always thinks I'm an ignorant little doll. ”

Guo Jia nodded, nodding secretly in his heart.

Du Yixin said that you are a doll county magistrate, but your style and age are seriously inconsistent.

A quarter of an hour was fleeting, and Wang Lei walked slowly to the living room.

Zhen Yan was waiting in the living room, at first he thought that Wang Lei would come to see him immediately, but after waiting for a while, he found that Wang Lei had not yet arrived, and he was a little impatient. The dignified head of the Zhen family, with a family fortune of more than 100 million, and a person who wants to shake Wuji County when he stomps his feet, but he wants to be angry here, and his mood can be imagined. He was angry at first, but slowly, his heart was cold again.

This doll county order is really amazing, thick-skinned and black-hearted, and skillful in suppressing people, it is not like a ten-year-old youth, giving Zhen Yan the feeling of an old fox.

After Zhen Yan sat quietly and thought, she let go of the contempt in her heart, and her heart gradually calmed down.

The sound of footsteps came, and Wang Lei strode over.

Wang Lei had a smile on his face, as if he had seen an old friend for many years, and said enthusiastically: "The head of the Zhen family came to visit, but the official was delayed because of a little personal matter, so that the head of the Zhen family has been waiting for a long time, sorry." ”

Zhen Yan also replied with a smile: "After waiting for a while, it won't get in the way." ”

He smiled and cursed the little fox in his heart.

Your method is too ordinary, I used it back then.

The two sat down, and Wang Lei asked, "The head of the Zhen family came to the door in person, is there anything wrong?" ”

Zhen Yan took out a folded piece of paper from his cuff, respectfully sent it to Wang Lei and said: "The Black Mountain thief threatened to attack Wuji County, and he was arrogant, as a member of Wuji County, the Zhen family has an unshirkable responsibility. The Zhen family is willing to fund 500,000 yuan, 500 sets of armor, 500 steel knives, 10,000 arrows, and some food. ”

Wang Lei looked at it carefully and was surprised.

This time, the Zhen family was absolutely bleeding, which gave him great benefits. Wang Lei put away the white paper, looked grateful, and said with a smile: "When will the head of the family send it?" ”

Zhen Yan's face turned red, he didn't believe him!

However, when Zhen Yan thought that the person in front of him was asking for money, his anger dissipated, and he replied, "All the things will be delivered within half a month." Food and money will be delivered first, weapons and armor will have to be purchased, and the time will be slightly delayed. ”

Wang Lei shouted hello and praised: "There is a person like the head of the Zhen family in Wuji County who serves the country and the people, and the official is happy in his heart." Please rest assured that the Master of the Zhen family will definitely train a hundred battles in a short period of time to defeat the Black Mountain Thieves. ”

"Don't ......"

As soon as Zhen Yan spoke, he immediately regretted it in his heart.

Wang Lei smiled and asked, "The head of the Zhen family doesn't want to exterminate the Black Mountain thieves?" It's not that you have a dealing. ”

Zhen Yan hurriedly shook his head and said with a serious face: "My lord Mingjian, the Zhen family has absolutely no contact with the Black Mountain Thief, I just want the county commander to consider it carefully, after all, the Black Mountain Thief is not a year or two." ”

Wang Lei said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, the official knows." ”

Zhen Yan wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, and said that it was dangerous. He was not worried about Wang Lei's safety, but he sincerely didn't want Wang Lei to send troops to attack the Black Mountain thieves. Don't look at Zhen Yan talking to Wang Lei with a smile, but in my heart I wish Wang Lei would die. Zhen Yan is worried that Wang Lei will go on the expedition, and the money and food required will be huge, and he will find the Zhen family when the time comes, and he is worried about the Zhen family's money.

Zhen Yan finished his work and immediately got up to say goodbye.

Wang Lei sent Zhen Yan away and returned to the backyard with a smile. He showed the list sent by Zhen Yan to Guo Jia and Du Ji, and Guo Jia said with a smile: "My lord, with the money, food and weapons sent by the Zhen family and Wuji County, within half a year, we can do a big job and form our own forces." ”

Wang Lei nodded and ordered: "The Zhen family has been softened, and the news that the Black Mountain thieves are about to attack Wuji County will be suppressed, and it will not be good for us if the impact is great." ”

Guo Jia replied: "Understood! ”

Next, Guo Jia began to deal with the spread of the news.

The government came out to clarify, and within a day, the news was completely controlled, and no one talked about it anymore. Anyone who cares about it carefully understands what is going on. After Zhen Yan received the news, he gasped.

Obviously, this is for the Zhen family.

The staff member looked happy and said, "The head of the family, this time the rumors are aimed at the head of the family. If the head of the family does not take the initiative to show weakness, I am afraid that the county order will do something more out of line. This doll county order is an unscrupulous person, and he has to deal with it carefully. ”

Zhen Yan nodded and said, "I understand that I will not despise him in the future." The previous prefectural commanders were scholars, pedantic, and even greedy for money were under our control. The prefectural order of this term is not simple and cannot be careless. ”
