In the living room of the Zhang family, the three of them began to sum up.
The head of the Zhang family spoke first: "Both of them have seen it tonight, this county magistrate is not an easy person, I estimate that it is a gold-plated son sent by a certain family, just the cavalry has brought more than 200 people, this will be a very powerful force in the Central Plains, and the two bodyguards around him are also very human, this time we must not use the usual strategy to kill him, otherwise it will bring us a catastrophe." ā
The head of the Tian family said: "This county magistrate came too suddenly, and he couldn't find out his information at all, so it was very difficult to do, and the son of this kind of big family would definitely not look down on the little money we respected." ā
Ma Jiazhuang said disapprerovingly: "Everyone, we have dominated Ma Yi for so many years, are we afraid of a little child?" What are the cavalry of about 200 people? Even if the tribe adults don't come, the three of us are fully capable of killing them easily. ā
The head of the Zhang family said dissatisfiedly: "Reckless, won't we be exposed in this way?" Will you be able to gain a foothold in Mayi in the future? We've lost our value, and you think the tribesmen can still treat us well? Imagine the situation in other counties, you still don't understand? ā
The head of the Ma family was said to have a red face and a thick neck, and he stopped talking.
The head of the Tian family said: "The acting county lieutenant ran before and after, and invited credit in front of the new county magistrate, I am really afraid that he will throw himself into the county magistrate, this is your Zhang family's matter, you have to deal with it." ā
"Hmph, I said at the beginning that I wanted to improve their treatment and let them fully throw themselves into our arms, you feel sorry for that little money and refuse to pay, but now it's good, if he throws himself to the county magistrate, I can't do anything to kill him? It pushed us to the opposite side of the county magistrate and directly exposed it. The head of the Zhang family said dissatisfiedly.
The head of the Ma family said, "Why don't you ask the tribe lord to send troops to kill him." ā
"Hmph, if the tribesmen occupy the county seat of Mayi County, and the mud and sand are all down, can we have a good situation? How much did it cost us to keep the county, you don't know the consequences, right? "The head of the Zhang family is very opposed to this method.
The head of the Ma family was anxious, and asked angrily: "This is not good, that is not good, what do you want to do?" ā
The head of the Zhang family smiled: "This is not easy to do? Inform the tribesmen that it is enough to send a team of 1,000 people to harass the county seat and plunder the townships around the county, if the county magistrate does not send people to the rescue, then he will lose the support of the county people, and we will take the opportunity to encourage the county people to blow them away, and the tribesmen can get some wealth and have a good impression of us; If the county magistrate sends someone to rescue, he will destroy it, how can a mere 200 cavalry be the opponent of a thousand-man team? ā
"Haha, it's a good strategy, the head of the Zhang family is really a god, just do it! Tomorrow I will send someone to deliver news to the tribesmen. "The head of the Tian family and the head of the Ma family agreed very much with this strategy.
The head of the Zhang family shook his head and said: "No, let's take a look at where this county magistrate came from, to know oneself and know the other, anyway, it's not too late for a few days, tomorrow night to catch the wind and wash the dust, let's find out the details first." ā
"The head of the Zhang family is thoughtful, so it's okay." The two nodded in agreement with the Zhang family master's opinion.
The head of the Tian family asked: "The new county magistrate is all soldiers and bodyguards, so all county officials must be recruited from the local area, how do we deal with it?" ā
"The question raised by the head of the Tian family is very timely, and I estimate that tomorrow night the county magistrate will definitely ask all families to support some clansmen and enrich the county government." Zhang said.
The head of the Ma family asked urgently: "How to deal with it?" ā
The head of the Zhang family said: "Haha, this Yier, just recommend the marginal clansmen who are not in the weak crown in the family, and I suggest only recommending those who know martial arts, if you go, you can't come up with ideas or help, and we can also grasp the trends of the county government in time; Whether it is recommended or not is just an indication of our attitude, and whether it is used or not is a matter for the county magistrate. ā
"Brilliant Strategy!"
"Good strategy!"
The head of the Zhang family said: "After you go back, you must tell your family to go to the streets less recently, and do less to bully men and women, otherwise let the county magistrate seize the handle and ruin the big thing, don't blame me for being ruthless." ā
"The head of the Zhang family is reasonable."
That night, in Zhang Cai's house, gathered several county officials, they followed Zhang Cai for a long time, all respected Zhang Cai's fairness and fairness, this time the new county magistrate relieved him of his position as county lieutenant, full-time cavalry Dubo, the management of affairs is less, but the treatment has been improved many times, so that everyone is very envious.
"Zhang Tou, didn't the county magistrate say how to settle us?" Everyone is very concerned about this issue, although there is not much salary in the county government, plus some small gray income, there is no problem in supporting the family, they don't want to lose this job, besides, it is even more difficult to find a job in the border area.
"Haha, don't worry, I feel that this county magistrate is everyone's person, and he will definitely make arrangements for you, but I'm not sure that all of them are arranged."
"Zhangtou, what do you mean by that?"
Zhang Cai said: "Even when arranging my work, he will first consult my ability, if he does not recognize my ability, he will not arrange me to be the cavalry capital; And I don't have a soldier under me now, I listen to Tun Changyan, and when it is stable, the cavalry will be expanded, if you have confidence in your own strength, I feel that it is very good to join the cavalry unit, that war horse I have seen, no worse than the barbarian war horse, the armor is complete; And its treatment is very good, that is, ordinary cavalry can get 6 stone rice, 600 money and 3 liters of salt every month. ā
"That's fine, if you can't be selected, it's because we don't have enough skills, and it's no wonder that others."
Zhang Cai said: "Don't be disappointed, the county magistrate has just arrived today, and the time is tight, so I will find the right time to consult you the day after tomorrow." ā
"Thank you, Zhangtou."
"Zhang Tou, did you tell the county magistrate about the affairs in the county?"
Zhang Cai immediately vetoed: "No, at present, I don't know who the county magistrate is, and rashly telling each other will only lead to death for us, so it is advisable to observe for a period of time." ā
"Zhang Tou is right, we have been waiting for so long, not this time, otherwise the slightest carelessness will be miserably, we must be cautious, be careful."
"The county magistrate may not be able to gain a foothold here, and telling each other in advance will only harm others and himself."
"I really hope that this court official is a good county magistrate for the country and the people."
Zhang Cai said: "In the past few years, several county magistrates sent by the imperial court have either suffered misfortunes or been driven away in disgrace, so we must be more cautious." ā
"How does the family deal with it?"
Zhang Cai said: "Treat it according to the previous method. ā
"Isn't that hurting the county magistrate and others?"
Zhang Cai said with a smile: "If the county magistrate can't even cope with such a trivial matter, then how can it be the person entrusted by us?" ā
"Haha, Zhang Tou's words are reasonable, this can be regarded as a test for the county magistrate."
In a small village outside the county seat, two distinctly alien people gathered under mottled oil lamps.
"Today, the undercover agent who was bribed in the city sent back the news that the county magistrate appointed by the Han Dynasty arrived today and brought more than 200 cavalry."
"Let's seize this opportunity and use the power of the county magistrate to eliminate the other party's puppets in the county seat, and it is best to expel their forces from Yanmen County, which should be our territory."
"There are only 200 cavalry on the other side, and I think it is difficult; They were too close to here, and the terrain was flat, so it was very easy to come to their aid. ā
"They have an advantage over us in transportation, otherwise how can this become their sphere of influence?"
"Why don't you inform the tribesmen and send a group of cavalry to help the county magistrate?"
"No, our tribe is not as strong as the other party, so it is not appropriate to tear your face for the time being. As long as we find a way to get rid of their puppets in the county town, we will cut off a trade route for them, and even if we don't occupy this place, it will be very beneficial to our tribe; Without the puppets, they wouldn't have gained much from occupying this place. ā
"Then let the undercover agents report the news of their puppet to the new county magistrate as soon as possible, let them fight among themselves, and let's watch the fun."
If there are outsiders here, according to their words, you can guess that they are from the Xianbei tribe located in Yunzhong County, and there is a lot of contradiction with the Xianbei tribe outside the Dai County.
The inauguration of the new county magistrate has affected the interests of all parties, stirred up a commotion in Mayi County, and various conspiracies and countermeasures have emerged one after another, and various forces have launched heated discussions around the county magistrate in order to obtain greater benefits.
