Chapter 585: Two Local Tyrants (1)
"Naturally, Lord Zhang is our parent official, as a squire in the Shuilin District, how can he not pay a visit? I will let the family prepare gifts!" A few old fortunes immediately said knowingly.
"Haha, make an appointment and go together. The crowd laughed.
Zhang Zhongjun met with Shen Fugui, a landlord, and big businessmen in the district office where a shell was built here, which made those documents who took refuge in Zhang Zhongjun a little puzzled, didn't it mean that the news that Lord Zhang was snubbed by Lord Futai had already spread all over Heyuan Mansion? Why did these local snakes come up more enthusiastically?
You must know that the last time Lord Zhang started to form the district government alone, he was favored by the previous lord of Futai, and at that time, these landlords Shen Fugui were not so enthusiastic.
In the crowd of people who came out of the district government after the visit, a landlord who looked to be in his forties secretly grabbed a landlord and tyrant in his fifties and asked: "Brother Shen Fugui, we don't understand, when the previous lord who favored Lord Zhang was here, we wanted to come to visit, but the elder brother still stopped him, why is it that Lord Zhang is now targeted by the newly appointed lord of the mansion, but we are running to slap him?"
"Hehe, Brother Chen Sanwan, the last time Master Zhang came to take office, there were many officials in the Shuilin District, and the rules of our Great Chen Dynasty, the officials couldn't do it in one word, so in this case, why should we bother him? On the contrary, he has to convince us, otherwise he will not want to fulfill the government affairs of the Shuilin District. Shen Fugui said with a smile.
Chen Sanwan was puzzled: "Well, this old brother said it last time, so why are we here to meet and give gifts now? Won't it be because all the officials in the Shuilin District have been transferred, and only he, the hall official, exists, so the Shuilin District has become his Yiyantang, right?"
There is a trace of such a reason, but more importantly, the newly appointed Lord Futai did make it clear that the existence of the water forest area was not suitable, and he did transfer all the officials in the water forest area, but as long as he saw that none of Lord Zhang's four positions were dismissed, he knew that Lord Futai could not help him. Shen Fugui touched his beard.
"Well, it's helpless, but in this way, do we need to give face to him? We are the head snakes who have been rooted for many years, even the gangs have to give us face, and we are not people who have no support and no support in the officialdom!" Chen Sanwan was puzzled.
"Hey, brother, you have to turn a few more turns in your brain, now it is Lord Futai who looks at the water forest area unpleasantly, but he can't help Lord Zhang, it is conceivable that in the future, this water forest area will be the same as the abandoned area. Shen Fugui pointed.
"Abandoned area, isn't that even more needless to stammer?" Chen Sanwan opened his mouth.
"Hey, who said that you don't need to stammer with Lord Zhang, if you don't need to stammer, why are we local snakes swarming here? Tell your brother, although the water forest area has been ignored by the government, how can it be from the government, how can Lord Zhang have the authority of the government, especially without the supervision of the officials, as long as Lord Zhang does not put up a flag to rebel, even if he makes this water forest area angry, it will be fine! So in this case, if we don't hurry up to come over to pay a visit and give gifts, are we still waiting to be killed by Lord Zhang as a monkey in the future!" Shen Fugui sneered.
"Uh, is it as terrifying as you said? As long as Lord Zhang doesn't put up the flag, it's okay to make the water forest area angry?" Chen Sanwan was a little panicked.
Shen Fugui sighed: "Hey, no way, who made the five towns in our Shuilin District the poorest towns in Zijin County, and Zijin County is the poorest county in Heyuan Prefecture, which means that our Shuilin District is the poorest district in Heyuan Prefecture." According to our habit of not putting these turtles in the eyes of the government, as long as Lord Zhang does not rebel, he can really mess around as he wants! In the past, there were gangs to check and balance, but now that Fengwutang has shrunk its strength, this water forest area is not the only one who has the final say!"
"It's impossible! Master Zhang only has 150 servants and 150 inspectors under his command, plus those dozens of documents, is this strength qualified to mess around in the water and forest area? Who of our landlords does not exceed this number?" Chen Sanwan said with some unconvinced.
"Hey, the officials don't need to care about it, they have to give us some face, but is that patrolman something we can provoke? Master Zhang's patrolman has no quota limit, as long as he is willing and has money, there is no problem in recruiting all the lumberjacks who are idle and have nothing to do now to be patrolmen, tens of thousands of patrolmen, and they are also patrolmen who can legally equip armor and crossbows, even if all the landlords and tyrants in our five towns are all waste! What's more, as long as someone dares to come with Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang will dare to directly send troops to destroy him! Don't forget that now it's not the gang that has the final say, but the official Lord Zhang!" Shen Fugui said with emotion.
"Well, the little brother understands, the gift that the little brother gave before is really a little light, so I'll let people go home and prepare a heavy gift to send back. Chen Sanwan looked abrupt.
"Hehe, brother, I thought the same thing, so I sent someone to prepare early. By the way, I don't know if you heard it just now, but my brother heard Master Zhang instruct the officials to inform all the lumberyard owners and forest farm owners in the five towns to come to a meeting tomorrow, do you think there is something going on?" Shen Fugui asked in a puzzled tone.
"Brother, this is not simple, Lord Zhang pressed more than 1,000 pieces of wood to sell more than ten days ago, and now when he comes back, he will gather the forest farm owner and the lumber farmer, he must have reopened the sales channel, right?" Chen Sanwan said with certainty.
"Oh, then where do you say that Master Zhang has opened up the channel?" the channel of Huangwu Forest Farm is still ......" Shen Fugui was a little puzzled.
"Brother, didn't you see the stack of silver tickets that Lord Zhang took out on the dock, and a brand-new ship that was obviously a miniature warship, Lord Zhang must have opened the door to Magong Town. Otherwise, the stingy purchase price on the side of Huangwu Forest Farm would be solved with a few silver tickets, and it would be impossible to buy the reduced version of the battleship. Chen Sanwan said teasingly.
"That's a battleship, I thought it was a more delicate ship!" Shen Fugui looked surprised.
Chen Sanwan said proudly: "Hey, brother, I can't be mistaken, don't forget that the younger brother also used to mess around in Magong Town when he was young, and he can see at a glance that the miniature version of the car and ship at that time can rely on manpower to go against the wind and water!
