Zhang Han managed to get an official, train troops, and recruit soldiers, of course, Lingqiu was very concerned about these things, and when he just said hello, Ma Hua first called Zhang Han an adult.

Of course, none of these people will believe that Zhang Han is really an official, and I am even afraid that some people will not think so in their own hearts.

Now Zhang Han has a strong protection and umbrella in the officialdom, and it is very good to be an official, if the protection and umbrella are not as strong as they are now in a few years, I am afraid that this official position will cause unnecessary trouble.

Ma Huaxian said at this time: "Zhang Dongzhu, do you know Yu Shiqian? ”

"I know." Zhang Han said: "Recently, I heard that there was a lot of trouble. ”

"He's already made trouble in Huo County." Ma Huaxian said: "There are many miners here in Lingqiu, if the rogues don't have any ambitions and just want to be bandits, they won't come to Lingqiu to ask for fun." If you don't just want to be a bandit, here in Lingqiu, you need to be more careful. I reported this meaning to Zhu's parents, and there is nothing the eldest master can do......"

Of course, Zhu Qingyu, the magistrate of the county, has no way, there is no local inspection department, there is no local archer armament, only some officials under the county government, these people are good at collecting taxes and oppressing the good, and they want them to fight bandits, isn't that a joke.

Zhang Han said: "Lingqiu is under the rule of Datong Mansion, in fact, Zhu Zhi County can write Datong Mansion, and Datong Mansion will then transfer the text to Datong Town, in case there is a police, you can send cavalry over, I think a little rogue Kou, send hundreds of cavalry over, and it will be leveled in the blink of an eye." ”

Ma Huaxian shook his head lightly and said in a low voice: "That Yu Shiqian was originally the border army of our Datong Town, transferred to Liaodong to fight Jiannu, picked up a life on the battlefield, and when defending Tieling, the deputy general opened the city and surrendered, Yu Shiqian and dozens of people escaped from the city and picked up a life. ”

Sun Jingting interjected: "Then this person's ability is really amazing, Tieling, Kaiyuan, because the two cities resisted, the old slave ordered the slaughter of the city, except for a few scum who surrendered, almost all the inside and outside of the city were slaughtered, the two cities combined, I am afraid that there were nearly 300,000 people killed, and most of the soldiers and horses in the garrison died." ”

"That's right." Ma Hua clapped his hands first and said: "This person is very capable, and he has a grievance, all the way from Liaodong to Datong, there were many soldiers from Datong and Xuanfu towns who fled privately on the road, and when he fled back to Shanxi, he had already engulfed one or two hundred people. This is not an ordinary bandit of one or two hundred people, all of them are border soldiers. ”

Li Dayong was originally calculating the gains and losses of his iron field, but he was also attracted at this time, and he said: "With this 200 border army as the core, this group of bandits will be brave and difficult to suppress!" ”

"Not really!" Ma Huaxian said: "With the border army as the core, Yu Shiqian has a large number of bandits, and also threatens Zhuangding to join them, now I heard that there are nearly 3,000 people, and he has recently had the ambition to attack the prefectures and counties, if he is asked to break a few county towns and even state capitals, I am afraid that half of Shanxi Province will fall. ”

Li Dayong was thrilled to hear it, and said with a forced smile: "When the sky falls, there is a tall man holding ...... What the hell are we going to do? ”

Ma Hua glanced at him first and said, "Everything is wasted if you don't plan it, I don't want to wait for the rebels to enter the country and then think about escaping!" ”

Zhang Han said: "Ma Dongzhu told me this, I'm afraid it has good intentions, please say it directly." ”

Ma Hua said first: "I'm afraid that proprietor Zhang doesn't know, I quietly went to Li Zhuang once a month ago...... I am also well-informed, but I am afraid that it is rare to train troops like the Daliangshan Inspection Division. This army is a good foreshadowing for Zhang Dongzhu, and it can be used in emergencies. ”

At this time, everyone knew what Ma Huaxian meant, Lingqiu and Daliang Mountain Inspection Division were separated by more than 120 miles, and there were official roads in the middle, crossing many mountain ranges, if there was really a serious banditry, Zhang Han's soldiers and horses could arrive in a short time.

Ma Hua first wants to save not only his own life, but also his net worth.

Ma Huaxian said: "The blast furnaces of the iron yard and the blast furnace of our iron yard are all here, if the bandits are in chaos, the miners are either thieves or scattered, and the iron yard and blast furnace are destroyed, even if you escape for a while, if you want to restore the current situation, it will be impossible to work hard for a few years." I have worked hard all my life, since my great-grandfather has run his own iron yard, three blast furnaces were rebuilt last year according to the method of Zhang Dongzhu, if you abandon everything now, it is really better to die at the hands of thieves. ”

Zhang Han frowned and said: "The Daliang Mountain Inspection Division has its own place of faith, and if it goes to Lingqiu, it can be said that it is a taboo thing to leave the land of faith without permission." ”

Li Dayong also felt that the matter in front of him was dangerous, Yu Shiqian's group of thieves was not an ordinary bandit, I am afraid that it would take the governor and the high-ranking officials at the military level to raise the army to be exterminated, whether to exterminate it was a matter for the imperial court, if these thieves really came to wash Lingqiu before being suppressed, everything would really be over.

The more Li Dayong thought about it, the more dangerous he felt, and then followed Zhang Han's words: "Zhang Dongzhu, at this time, I understand your intention to be a patrol and training archer. We and other businesses are not as big as the gentry, in case there are any twists and turns, how many generations of hard work may be in vain. In short, the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce should be decided by the proprietor, and according to the conditions just now, the peace of our waiting will also depend on the proprietor. ”

Sun Anle's eyes when he looked at Zhang Han at this time changed again.

Previously, he admired Zhang Han very much, and this time he admired it even more.

Sun Anle said: "Merchants also have soldiers in their hands, so they can protect themselves, and we can't think of this layer." ”

Ma Huaxian said: "Even if we thought of this before, I'm afraid we wouldn't have the courage to do it." We are good businessmen, can talk to the county parents, not forced by the officials, the government is oppressed, this is enough, who dares to touch the tiger's whiskers, and the government is so deep, how can they manage such a hard relationship, like Zhang Dongzhu to become a party inspection. ”

Zhang Han's development and starting process is indeed extremely dazzling, from an ordinary merchant Shaodong, in less than two years, to become one of the few commercial tycoons in the entire north, deeper into the grassland, and Mongolian Zhuyi traffic, as well as the governor, governor, general soldier, deputy general, Ming Dynasty in the top of the local power, Zhang Han also established a relationship with it.

Strong financial resources, coupled with extensive travel, and a deep relationship with power, this is the biggest reason why Zhang Han can do whatever he wants.

Lingqiu, these people, probably also realized this......

Sun Jingting was a little worried, he was different from Ma Huaxian and Li Dayong, and he would think about Zhang Han's affairs from the perspective of a friend. Zhang Han can now be said to be dancing with wolves, and if he is not careful, he will be swallowed by power.

Everyone has stated that the most important big proprietors here in the Lingqiu Chamber of Commerce are on Zhang Han's side, and it is only a matter of time before the Chamber of Commerce is reintegrated.

After lunch, everyone drank a few cups, Li Dayong and the others said goodbye one after another, and they also had to discuss the news with their henchmen and partners this time, and they also had to make some preparations in advance.

Zhang Han and Sun Jingting went to the back mountain for a walk, and Sun Jingting said: "Yu Niang was watched this time, and she was not allowed to come out......"

Zhang Han smiled bitterly: "Meeting at this time now will only increase your troubles, so it's okay." ”

Sun Jingting smiled and began to talk about his worries just now.

"Xiaozheng," Zhang Hanzheng looked at Sun Jingting, and said slowly: "It's good that you can think of this, I also have concerns about this matter, the changes in officialdom are far faster than those in the shopping mall, and they are more direct...... To put it bluntly, the mule and horse shop is a business that no one robs, my account is Jinshan, and it also relies on connections and dare to fight, and no one has robbed me of the account business now, but my dare to fight and dare to kill is also because I have a solid backer...... Officialdom and shopping malls are actually really inseparable. Going down, if we really have our own strength and can make people who want to talk to us jealous, at that time, maybe Daming will have a real shopping mall and business war...... The one Fan Yongdou and I are doing now is said to be a business war, but in fact, it is still playing the political card. ”

"Wen Lan." Sun Jingting's eyes were very eager: "When will you be able to do what you said?" ”

"I can't say for sure." Zhang Han smiled and continued: "Today, these people actually know that businessmen have to hold guns, which is already a great progress. ”

Sun Jingting said with disdain: "That is, the bandits are close at hand, these people, there is only silver in their eyes, and when they talk about it in private, they really don't know how much they have criticized you!" ”

……

Sun Anle drank a lot of wine at noon, and returned to his mansion drunk at noon.

His residence is built in a corner of the East Mountain, with the sun in the background, there are many flowers and trees around, and there is a mountain spring water selling down, which is a very good place.

Sun Anle had already stated that he would be buried in the back mountain after his death, so that he could look after his iron yard and this mansion.

A few years ago, Sun Anle felt that he had lost his vitality, and he had chosen the grave site, but now he felt that he was full of energy, after all, he was only in his fifties, and he could still do things for a few more years.

Sun wife and Yu Niang were standing in the back hall waiting for Sun Anle, and when Sun Anle came in drunk, Sun Wife complained: "Tell you to drink two glasses less, last time you were drunk like that, why don't you know how to change." ”

"Today is really different from the usual."

"That's not the case."

"It's really different." Sun Anle took the tea handed by his wife, took a sip happily, and then said: "Zhang Han, Jingting and I didn't misunderstand him. ”

Yu Niang's body tightened, and her somewhat thin pretty face was raised suddenly.

"I don't know what's good about him." Seeing her daughter like this, his wife was distressed and angry, and said coldly: "Look what he tortured our daughter into." In the past, Yu Niang loved to play and make trouble, but now I don't go out of the door all day, my heart hurts to death, I heard that you went to see him, I was not happy. ”

"What do you mean?" Sun Anle said unhappily: "What we are talking about is the right thing, what are you doing with Yu Niang." ”

He said everything he discussed today, and finally said: "In the future, everyone is waiting to share the money, Zhang Han is not only capable, but also very generous, in fact, with his current strength, even if he swallows it alone, or simply puts aside the Chamber of Commerce, who has any way, just staring." ”
