The entire Youzhou is busy, not only Jixian County, which is the center of power, but also other counties in Dai County, especially Dai County, which is the place where Chen Zhi started, is even more elated.

For the officials of Daijun, the current situation is not enough to describe it by removing the clouds and seeing the blue sky, it can be called the two heavens of ice and fire, from the original worry, quickly turned into ecstasy, and the interval between before and after was even less than half a month.

Now, those businessmen who fled in a hurry because of the news of Youzhou's Western Expedition have hurried back again, looking for a way up and down, so that they can have a place in Dai County again, but unfortunately this situation is completely different.

"Alas, I went to the Yamen of the Nali Domain today, and I waited for several hours, but I didn't see a single person in charge, it's really unlucky!"

"But isn't it, I also found a few officials in the yamen, one of them is my relative, most of them are from Wenju, but they don't want to see me, this is really troublesome, my goods, but I can't afford to wait, after the season, how can I sell it at a higher price? It's killing me! ”

"Who said no, I'm not optimistic on my side, the original better ones, now they are all avoiding it, and some of them have taken the initiative to denounce me, saying that I did bribery, which is really wronged, fortunately, the acting county officials are still impartial, otherwise you won't be able to see me now."

In the tavern in Dai County, there are many businessmen gathered together, forming a group, pouring bitter water on each other, and there is a faint tendency to hold together.

The tavern here is also quite famous in Dai County, and it is one of the several industries that have recently risen in the past four years, and it is said that the background is the Tang family.

Now, merchants and clan scholars with a little wealth will patronize here, so it is also a convenient place to accumulate contacts.

These businessmen are currently in deep trouble, and many of them even have financial problems, but they still come here because they like the environment here, and they can gather many people to try their luck here.

However, at present, it seems that the people they meet and are willing to come over to talk to are often "fallen people" who are in the same situation.

At first, these businessmen were still a little disappointed, so they simply poured out their bad things, but as they talked, more and more people gathered, and some shrewd people saw that there was a place to take advantage of, so they gradually developed the tendency of this conversation in the direction of gathering together and helping each other.

Slowly, more and more businessmen understood the meaning and showed a tacit smile to each other.

Obviously, they plan to unite and negotiate with the government.

In fact, it is quite risky, but as long as the degree is well controlled, there is still room for play, and the most important thing is that a simple family to negotiate, the influence is very limited, but if you go together, the goods involved are different, and some are also related to people's livelihood, and you should also consider it if you want to come to the government.

Of course, the more important thing is that when these people think of huddling together for warmth, they will inevitably have a sense of security and a sense of not being held accountable to the public.

It's just that as they talked, a few scholars gathered next to them, and it didn't sound like a taste.

"You businessmen, all of them are snobbish, wall grass, when the first expedition to the west, Youzhou was united, all from the general's thoughts, but you businessmen, one by one, have his thoughts, either the soles of the feet are oiled and ran, or the negative drag is right, now when I see that the situation is wrong, I will come back to the group immediately, and I want the government to give you an explanation? If you want me to say, drag you merchants out and cut down, almost none of them are wronged! ”

"What Brother Zhang said is, the people of the merchants, for the sake of money and copper smell, they can do everything, there is no idea of Huayi at all, as long as the Hu people give money, they can sell any object, this time the government responded in time, and temporarily seized most of the commercial goods, not to rob you, just wait for the war to release, otherwise, you may have to sell the grain and grass in Youzhou to the Xiongnu in that state!"

"Now you know it's amazing? What did you do earlier? I almost laughed out loud because I still want to rely on the large number of people to let the government open up the net, how are you peddlers and pawn-like things, compared to the Huns? The hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops, a state land, countless money, grain and grass, and not the enemy of January, just a few of your things, also want to force me to retreat from the Youzhou government, or hurry back to sleep, then in the sleep, what is not? ”

……

The scholars seem to have a lot of disgust for the merchants, and as soon as they open their mouths, they are so embarrassed, and after a few words, the faces of those merchants are a little unbearable.

In the end, I couldn't do it anymore, so I got up one after another, hid my face and left.

However, although they left, they would not let go of such a good opportunity, but gathered together, found another tea shop to sit down, and continued the previous topic.

But this time, it's about specific goals.

One of them suggested, "It's better to go to Captain Zhou." ”

As soon as he mentioned the name, everyone immediately knew what it meant.

"But Zhou Ao, Captain Zhou?"

"Exactly!" The person who put forward this statement immediately analyzed, "Zhou Duwei looks like he is just a county official, but in fact, he is very different from ordinary officials, and he has a close relationship with the general and his old man. ”

Many of the businessmen present actually knew more or less, but most of them only knew a little about it, and now listening to someone explain, they couldn't help but be excited.

But there is also a sober-minded one who reminded in a low voice: "But I'll wait for the door, I'm afraid Zhou Duwei won't see me." ”

"Exactly, the other yamen are unwilling to entertain us, isn't the captain trying to avoid suspicion this week?"

"The other yamen don't want to see us because they are afraid of being misunderstood by the general, but what is the identity of Zhou Duwei?" The man came up with another idea, "Captain Zhou, he is the general's own person, how can he be misunderstood?" And we didn't go to the Governor's Mansion to visit, but by chance, do you know that this Governor of Dai County has a hobby, which is to drink tea and listen to music, listen to books, or go to the theater to listen to plays! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately understood.

"In this way, let's go and cheer for the operatist."

The man said: "It's a coincidence, today's official day for the captain to listen to the play, everyone, don't miss the opportunity!" You know, the general and his old man have returned, and after the Daijun, we won't have a chance to turn over! ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and the last person gritted his teeth and said, "!" ”
