Zhang Fei's trick is reasonable.

clearly told everyone present that Chen Ying was slapped and his own mouth was cheap.

Hua Ji glanced at everyone's expressions and said, "Everyone, the Yellow Turban disaster should not be taken lightly. Nearly 5,000 yellow turbans want to grab food, and it is not something that any of you can resist alone. ”

"Zheng Xiancheng proposed to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness, which is a wonderful way to fight against the Yellow Turban."

"Although the thieves are numerous, they have no food to spare. We and the other commanders hold on, and the thieves can't fight if they want to, and if they can't attack, they will definitely retreat. ”

"Then select elite soldiers to pursue the thieves, and they will definitely be able to defeat the thieves!"

Although he knew that Hua Ji was here to increase Zheng Ping's strength, he was still surprised when he really heard that Hua Ji supported Zheng Ping, a powerful and wealthy businessman in the four towns.

Zheng Ping is the county magistrate of Gaotang County, representing the power in the officialdom of Gaotang County.

Hua Ji is the younger brother of the imperial court minister and the famous Hua Xin, representing the power of the folk scholars in Gaotang County.

Although this group of powerful and wealthy businessmen is the head snake of Gaotang County, they dare not offend Gaotang Ling and the scholars of Gaotang County too much.

On the bright side, there is still a certain gap between the rich and powerful merchants and the scholars.

There was a whisper in the banquet hall.

A group of wealthy businessmen are weighing the pros and cons of each other.

No matter how good the reasons are, what really affects everyone's decision-making is the trade-off of their respective interests.

Zheng Ping was not impatient, waiting for the choice of this group of powerful and wealthy businessmen.

Moment.

One after another, there were wealthy businessmen who expressed their willingness to respond to Zheng Ping's strategy.

Although it is not a small risk to hand over the family funds to Zheng Ping, and it will be difficult to pay taxes in the future, compared with the nearly 5,000 yellow turbans to grab grain, it is far better to store money and grain in the city than in Wubao.

As for whether Zheng Ping will regret it?

Just like Zhang Feiyan, the son of Zheng Xuan, a famous man in Beihai, will not lose his faith for some money and food.

But there are also those who believe that their family is strong and do not agree with Zheng Ping's proposal.

Such as Chen Ying, who was slapped in the mouth, and Liu Hu, Li Tong and Deng A, who were belated.

For those who were unwilling to cooperate, Zheng Ping did not stop them.

Half an hour later, there were only twenty-eight people left in the banquet hall.

"Congratulations, you made the right choice." Zheng Ping was as warm as the wind: "From now on, move your family into the city temporarily." Hu Zhao, you are responsible for registering their fields, tenant farmers, servants, diners, private soldiers, cattle and sheep, horses, weapons, armor, etc., and do not leave anything out. ”

Of these twenty-eight people, the strength of the family is much weaker than the twenty-two people who have left.

But even so, each family can draw more than thirty private soldiers.

That's a lot of power!

After explaining Hu Zhao, Zheng Ping no longer stayed in the banquet hall, but invited Hua to enter the inner courtyard to reminisce.

Hua Ji followed behind Zheng Ping, looking quite excited, after all, Zheng Ping was a person that Hua Ji respected very much.

As soon as he arrived in the inner courtyard, Hua Ji couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Xianmou, why didn't you come to look for me first when you arrived in Gaotang County?" Let the foolish brother prepare wine and entertain him! ”

Zheng Ping invited Hua Zhi to sit down at the table, and said with a chuckle: "The situation in Qingzhou is complicated, so it is naturally mainly on official business. You have won the crown this year, what is the word? ”

Hua Ji's eyes were a little broken: "Before my brother went to Luoyang, he gave me a table of words Cheng." In fact, I want to follow the example of Brother Xianmou to take the words of my own table, but my brother refuses! ”

Zheng Ping said with a smile: "Zicheng is an honest gentleman, and this expression is also appropriate." ”

got Zheng Ping's praise, and Hua Ji's bright eyes were a little more surprised.

Coughing lightly twice, Hua Ji smiled slightly: "The foolish brother has something to understand." Brother Xianmou has always had a very high vision, why did he choose to help Liu Bei? ”

"This Liu Bei is only a county order, how can he get the favor of Brother Xianmou?"

In the name of Zheng Ping's talent and Zheng Xuan, if Zheng Ping wants to become a leader, he must at least start at the level of a state official, but Zheng Ping just ran to be a county official.

This makes Hua Ji incomprehensible!

The feather fan lightly slapped his shoulder, and Zheng Ping's eyes smiled: "I know what Zicheng means." But who would dare to let me use tricks? My purpose is not to be a leader in Qingzhou, but to break the yellow scarf in Qingzhou! ”

"The Yellow Turban of Breaking Qingzhou?" Hua Ji was a little surprised: "Brother Xianmou, with the cooperation of these twenty-eight powerful and wealthy businessmen today, it is not difficult to break the yellow scarf in Gaotang County." ”

"But it's not easy to break the yellow scarf in the entire Qingzhou."

"What's more, in his position, he seeks his own government, which is not something that the scheming brother can manage."

"Unless Brother Xianmou can become Qingzhou, don't drive."

Hua Ji's eyes looked at Zheng Ping, full of incomprehension.

There are six counties and sixty-five counties in Qingzhou, how can they listen to the decree of one county?

"It's a matter of people." Zheng Ping smiled pleasantly: "In this world, what is easy?" ”

"It is nothing more than the wise man doing his best, the brave man doing his best, the benevolent man spreading his benefits, the believer serving his loyalty, and the civil and military contending."

Hua Ji's heart stirred when he heard this, and he got up and bowed: "Show the ambition of the brother, and the foolish brother admires." ”

"If you don't give up, the foolish brother is willing to follow the power of dogs and horses!"

Zheng Ping didn't immediately agree, but asked rhetorically: "Brother Yiziyu's character, even if he goes to Luoyang, he will definitely leave a teaching, so that you can study and cultivate hope, and don't get involved in officialdom easily." ”

"If you come out at this time, I'm afraid you won't have much time to study and recuperate."

Hua Ji said angrily: "I still remember that when I first saw Brother Xianmou in the past, Brother Xianmou once said: Read ten thousand books, you should travel thousands of miles, take off the dust in your chest, and naturally camp in the hills and ravines. ”

"Although I'm not talented, I don't want to learn from that rotten Confucian who spends all day looking for chapters and sentences, and exhausting scriptures."

Zheng Ping pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, Zicheng can follow Hu Zhao first and learn government affairs." ”

"Although Hu Zhao has a loss of virtue, he is tactful, cautious and meticulous, and he is quite good at county affairs."

"If Zicheng has the heart to learn, he needs to abide by his original intention, and don't despise everyone."

After all, Hua Ji is just a scholar who has not yet been trained, and Zheng Ping cannot really entrust Hua Ji with a heavy responsibility.

If it was someone else who asked Hua Ji to follow Hu Zhao to learn government affairs, Hua Ji would definitely leave with his sleeves up.

Following a moral disadvantage to learn government affairs, this is no less than humiliation for Hua Zhi.

But these words came from Zheng Ping's mouth, but Hua Ji didn't have such thoughts, just thought that this was Zheng Ping's test.

"Zi said: Threesome, there must be my teacher!" Hua Ji promised in a loud voice: "The foolish brother will not live up to the expectations of Brother Xianmou, and he will definitely study hard and strive to be able to take charge of himself as soon as possible." ”

Zheng Ping did not hesitate to praise, praised Hua Ji lightly, and said: "Since Zicheng intends to be a leader, why don't you do me a small favor?" ”

Hua Ji said with a smile: "Brother Xianmou said that it doesn't matter, what the foolish brother can do, he will do it wholeheartedly." ”

Zheng Ping's eyes lit slightly: "Please Zicheng, write to the scholars who are friends with the Hua family, and make a name for the county!" ”
