Chapter 684: The Divine Decree Arrives (2)
And once these official positions are missing, then he has no connection with the officialdom of Heyuan Mansion at all, and it is no wonder that the officialdom of Heyuan Mansion is so indifferent to him and so disdainful, because everyone understands that he will have nothing to do with the officialdom of Heyuan Mansion in the future. In such a situation, why bother to give yourself face? Of course, you have to follow the attitude of the commander!
What also confused Zhang Zhongjun was that Yide Palace and Fengwutang received his messenger very warmly. The gift money was also very generous, and someone was sent to escort the gift with the messenger on the spot. But the congratulators sent sounded very high, for example, Yide Palace was a Dao Chief-level figure, and Fengwutang was an Elder-level figure. But one thing is that these people Zhang Zhongjun didn't know, and the people Zhang Zhongjun knew in the two organizations didn't even face each other.
In addition to this, another thing that made Zhang Zhongjun unhappy was that Luo Zhengrong from Magong Town actually directly stated that he would not come to the ceremony, and let Zhang Zhongjun do it himself.
Hearing the messenger vividly learn that tone and demeanor, the others were angry, and Zhang Zhongjun was also angry at first, this was because he knew that he couldn't master the wood in the water forest area, so he turned his face directly?
However, when I thought of the previous contact with Luo Zhengrong, this was a very sleek and somewhat righteous official, and the most important thing was that even if there was no timber transaction, there was still a quota for Luo Zhengrong to practice the Flame Fist on his side, and he had a little brain, even if he was extremely disgusted, he would not show it so obviously.
And he and Luo Zhengrong did not have the slightest grudge, but there was still a relationship of interest, so he canonized the nobles and invited him to watch the ceremony, it was impossible to speak like this.
Looking at the men who were angry and scolding the white-eyed wolf, Zhang Zhongjun was a little helpless to say his thoughts, and seeing the stunned looks of his subordinates, Zhang Zhongjun was even more helpless, this kind of thing was unexpected, his subordinates felt a little low-level, it seemed that he could only take them more and cultivate them more.
Zhang Zhongjun asked the messenger who was also stupid, "When you went to see Luo Zhengrong, were there other people around him?"
"Yes, there is also a son-in-law brother with a few guards sitting on the main seat with a grin, that son-in-law brother has been sneering when he heard the reason why his subordinates came to ask to see him, and when Lord Luo Zhengrong replied, he didn't look at his face. The messenger exclaimed.
Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but want to scold this fool, seeing such an obvious existence, he didn't think about it at all, and he stupidly brought Luo Zhengrong's response back, which was really helpless.
But no way, who let these guys be their own retainers, they don't dare to compliment in terms of ability, but they can rest assured in terms of loyalty. Because this kind of upright retainer generally shares the honor and disgrace with the master's family, and if it is not a super price, he will not betray the master at all.
Zhang Zhongjun slapped his thigh: "Damn, I know what's going on, it's the thirteen princes who dare to do something." Is he targeting me?"
"Well, just because you don't want to point out the four major families in Magong Town, the Thirteen Princes are targeting you?
These retainers of Zhang Zhongjun knew that Zhang Zhongjun met the Thirteen Princes in Magong Town, and as for how much gold and materials Zhang Zhongjun sold in exchange for meritorious points, these people were very clear.
Zhang Zhongjun didn't leak all these things without concealment, he just told his retainers the truth. After all, everyone is their own people, and it is also appropriate to know these things, and the follow-up territory construction has to help their own retainers to do things, how can they not know the details of their own family?
And saying these things can not only get everyone's loyalty, but also make everyone confident, for example, now, everyone knows that Zhang Zhongjun is disgusted by the government, and now he is being found by the Thirteen Princes, and other people have long been detached from morality, where can they be dissatisfied with the Thirteen Princes like now?
This is because they know that even if their lord has no official position, he still has a territory of 10 kilometers, a number of people, tens of millions of taels of gold, and countless materials.
That's why they knew that their lord and the palace were in trouble with the thirteen princes, and they also had this relaxed mentality, because they knew that even if the thirteen princes became emperors, if they wanted to destroy their own lord, who had an aristocratic status, it would take a lot of effort to do it.
So don't look at the huge gap in everyone's identity, everyone still doesn't coax the thirteen princes, since the thirteen princes don't coax, they don't care about the people of Futai.
Also, although Zhang Zhongjun would tell some things to his retainers, as if he had no secrets, this was just a gesture for the Master, at least no one knew about his possession of the Guardian Beast and the purple treasure.
"I don't believe that the Thirteen Princes are so unwise that they will target me as an ant. Before, he could take the four major families who wanted to use me to deal with Magong Town, but now that I have returned to Zijin County, a mansion apart, why does he still deal with me? And it is so obvious? It forced Luo Zhengrong to warn directly?" Zhang Zhongjun touched his chin and said.
Everyone scratched their heads and scratched their ears and cheeks, but unfortunately there was a lack of information, and they couldn't tell what the problem was. Even the messenger said that the prince brother was the thirteenth prince is not sure.
In this regard, Zhang Zhongjun had no choice but to say: "Increase investment in intelligence collection, find me if the funds are not enough, and expand the manpower if there are not enough people, so as not to be as confused as now." ”
"Yes!" the crowd saluted.
Putting aside these annoying things, Zhang Zhongjun also began to get busy, because the local tyrants and gentry in Heyuan Mansion who received invitations, or even did not receive invitations, came to join in the fun one by one, making Zhang Zhongjun meet one by one, welcome them one by one, eat and drink one by one, and pull relationships, and they were very busy.
treats the people in the officialdom indifferently, but the local tyrants and gentry treat Zhang Zhongjun warmly. Zhang Zhongjun didn't understand this, because in his mind, it should be the complete opposite, it should be the officialdom who is enthusiastic about him, and the local tyrants and gentry who are indifferent to him. Because his aristocratic status can still play a role in officialdom, but it can't play much role in the local tyrants and gentry.
However, when these local tyrants and gentry began to express one by one how many materials they had and what kind of preferential price they could sell to Zhang Zhongjun, Zhang Zhongjun realized that they were eyeing the cost of building their own territory.
In the midst of this confusion, a fast horse rushed over, and the knight began to shout, "The angel is coming, ready to receive the order!"
For a while, Zhang Zhongjun's manpower immediately became busy, everyone's new clothes and everyone began to line up in front of the district government square in Shuilin District, and the incense case or something was also carried out, and the crowd of people who watched the excitement was also gathered around, and everyone's heads turned to the avenue of smoke and dust.
Severe cold, dizziness, nasal congestion, runny nose, toothache, sore throat, cough, general weakness, soft aches all over the body, all the symptoms of a cold.
