Chapter 14: Release
"Yes, although the person to whom I am loyal is a native of Sangguo, by chance he was loved by the people of the country, and he knelt on the ground for ten miles, begging him to be able to govern the land, and under the earnest plea of 100,000 people, the person to whom I am loyal finally decided to stay and lead them to a happy life."
Zhang Xiaoting smiled at the reporters, while she held a glass of red wine in her hand and wore a Western-style dress, the whole person looked beautiful and noble, and the trademark diplomatic smile also made her look very capable.
This is one of the cities controlled by the strongest warlord in the central part of the country, and Zhang Xiaoting was invited to come as a representative of Lu Yuanming.
There is no way, less than a month after Luo Beiqiao left, the territory will soon run out of money and food.
It was expected to last for three months, during which Luo Beiqiao would definitely be able to earn back a lot of money and grain, but helplessly, the country suffered a famine.
According to the usual practice, at this time, the international community should provide a batch of materials to the country to relieve the people, but today I don't know why, those organizations or large enterprises that would normally do charity suddenly began to invest their attention in a few mineral-rich continents, and a large amount of manpower and material resources all ran to develop those minerals, or either to make steel, or to buy food all over the world. As a result, the price of food in all countries of the world is increasing, and the grain that should be relieved is more than ninety percent less, and it is divided among the warlords, but the people have not received any grains.
So, at the end of this year, there were people everywhere who began to flee the famine, and Lu Yuanming's territory had a reputation around it, and some people who came to rush to work had a few full meals, so they simply went back to their hometown to bring their relatives, so in just ten days, nearly 100,000 people gathered on the periphery of Lu Yuanming's territory.
If it is a normal warlord, at this time, he will naturally discharge the army and start to drive away, and even go too far to loot these refugees, these Lu Yuanming naturally can't do it, and his next plan needs a large population, and these nearly 100,000 refugees will be the best labor force.
For the human race that has entered the fourth-level cosmic civilization, the welfare benefits for them to work are really at the level of heaven on earth, and for these refugees, they can eat three meals a day, and it is no problem for you to let them do heavy physical work for fourteen hours a day, and they still treat you as a Buddha of ten thousand families.
So Lu Yuanming accepted it all, so that the food in the territory would not hold up first.
It's okay to say anything else, but what you eat is absolute hard currency, and if it's gone, it's gone, and as long as you don't eat for a day, people's hearts will immediately disperse, so that's the most important thing.
After some discussion, it was confirmed that the surrounding warlords estimated that there was no food in stock, and even if they robbed the surrounding warlords, it was impossible to let the people in the warlords' territory starve to death, right? Then you have to bring it back, you must know that the people in the warlord's territory are not treated so well, if Lu Yuanming really starts any robbery mode at this time, the food in the territory will collapse in advance.
So for a while, everyone was unable to do so, but it turned out that Zhang Xiaoting, who had never had any suggestions, put forward a suggestion.
Find the Zhang Marquis Mansion to ask for food.
Zhang's Marquis Mansion is the founding marquis of Mulberry, and it is the real power of Baili Hou, although because of the modern constitutional monarchy of Mulberry, Zhang's Marquis Mansion does not control the army, but in the political, agricultural, and economic fields, Zhang's Marquis Mansion can be described as a behemoth.
In the world of human civilization, Sang and Lu Yuanming's mother country on the earth are somewhat similar, but in history, after the opening of the imperial power of this dynasty, although it experienced the invasion of Western scientific civilization, it finally guarded the territory, carried out constitutional monarchy, and finally became one of the powerful countries in this world human civilization, although it is not as good as Acre, but it is also a modern civilization country.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoting's suggestion is actually feasible, according to the power and action of the Zhang Marquis's Mansion, especially the neighboring country is a neighboring country, a large amount of grain can be transported in ten days and a half months, although it is unlikely to directly raise 200,000 people in the territory, but it is absolutely no problem to solve the food for two or three months, with this time, Luo Beiqiao can transport a large amount of materials back even if he steals pigs.
So here's the problem...... Why did the Marquis of the Zhang family take out the rice of Baihuahua to give it to a stranger?
Everyone thinks it's impossible, because nominally, Zhang Xiaoting was kidnapped by Luo Beiqiao and Ling Caihua, and the Zhang Hou Mansion didn't destroy this force or because they didn't know that this force had anything to do with the kidnapping of Zhang Xiaoting, now go to the Zhang Hou Mansion and say directly, Hey, we kidnapped your daughter-in-law, and now we want food, hurry up and take it out.
Isn't this a fucking kidnapping?
On the contrary, Zhang Xiaoting is very confident, according to her, she is already running out of food anyway, so why not give it a try?
Lu Yuanming thought about it, and naturally agreed to this method.
In fact, Lu Yuanming has another way to alleviate this food crisis, and that is fishing.
He can urgently rub some fish-attracting sonar or something, which is easy to do with the science and technology stuffed in his brain, but attracting fish is just the beginning, it is impossible for him to go fishing alone and run to feed 200,000 people, right?
Naturally, it is necessary to concentrate on big things, at least 10,000 people must go fishing, and fishing boats must be prepared, even if it is a wooden boat? There are also various fishing equipment and salt to preserve the fish......
In this way, all his next plans will have to be postponed.
So unless he was forced to do this, he was unwilling to do this, and since there was still some time, he also decided to let Zhang Xiaoting try it.
Zhang Xiaoting was authorized, she immediately took a few guards, and then drove a suspension tank, and in the shocked eyes of the servants, the suspension tank took Zhang Xiaoting, the guards, and the servants to the junction of the country and the country of Sang.
"I want you to go back to the Hou Mansion."
Zhang Xiaoting said solemnly to the servant: "I want you to tell your father and eldest brother what you have seen and heard in this territory, and you must tell it in secret, and you must not leak these words to others." ”
The servants naturally listened respectfully, and at this time Zhang Xiaoting's tone became more cold and serious, and she said: "I know that the imperial court will send secret agents to the mansion of the nobles above the viscount, this is actually a matter of convention, the emperor and the cabinet can rest assured, the nobles can also show their innocence, up and down, I understand, so I don't know if you are this kind of secret agent." ”
The servant immediately knelt down, but he did not defend himself, but just knelt silently with his head bowed.
Zhang Xiaoting walked up to the servant and said: "Only one person knows about the matter here, so you must tell my father and eldest brother word for word, and you must not add your own subjective opinions, and at the same time, this matter will definitely not be leaked out, but if the court knows about it, then I don't care how the court knows, you and your relatives will die...... This is not a threat, you should know, this is not a threat, if you are a secret agent, no matter how much credit you have made, at least before the defeat of the Marquis of the Zhang family, it is absolutely fine to let the court give up on you, you should know, right? ”
The servant just lowered his head to the ground, still not saying a word.
Zhang Xiaoting knew that this domestic servant actually belonged to the kind of dead soldiers of the family, and the education of the family told her that this kind of person could be absolutely trusted, and the imperial court would not place secret agents in the dead soldiers, which broke the bottom line, after all, the dead soldiers are the most important and trusted force of these noble families, and even this kind of power is planted with secret agents, is the court planning to destroy this family?
But it's a matter of life and death for the territory, so she has to remind her again and again......
Zhang Xiaoting continued to say to the servant: "After telling my father and eldest brother about the situation here, I also told them that in the afternoon of three days, I will wait here for the family to come, and let the family come and talk to me about anything." ”
The servant didn't get up, so Zhang Xiaoting asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”
The servant said respectfully: "Miss, this suspended tank...... Can it also be said? ”
Zhang Xiaoting was stunned for a moment, and then her heart suddenly rejoiced.
Although she is a silly white sweet, but she is indeed a standard aristocratic noblewoman, and she is almost self-taught about this kind of political and positional knowledge, she almost immediately understood the meaning of this domestic servant, which naturally made her happy, but now is not the time to think about this, she said: "It can be said, I said, everything you have seen and heard, including my position in this power, by the way, there is another thing, you bring this thing back to my father and eldest brother." ”
After speaking, Zhang Xiaoting beckoned to the guard, and the guard immediately came over with an incubator, and Zhang Xiaoting handed the incubator to the servant.
Only then did the servant get up, and he continued to say respectfully to Zhang Xiaoting: "The slave will go, the eldest lady is careful in everything." ”
Zhang Xiaoting said: "You can go by yourself, and when the time comes, come with the family, I think about it, I really don't have a few handy servants here, you can come over and become my deputy butler first." ”
The servant's face suddenly showed joy, but he tried to restrain it, bowed respectfully at the moment, and then ran quickly towards the border of the Sang Kingdom.
In this way, the domestic servant quickly returned to the headquarters of the Hou Mansion through the secret channels of the Hou Mansion, and he applied for a secret meeting with the head of the family, which was possible for the dead of the family, but if there was no extremely important matter, they would also be punished extremely severely.

In this way, the head of the Zhang Clan's Hou Mansion, Zhang Xiaoting's father Zhang Zhenhai, and Zhang Xiaoting's eldest brother, Zhang Yueshan, the heir of this generation of the Zhang Clan's Hou Mansion, were present at the same time, and in addition to them, only two expressionless cold-faced strong men were present.
The so-called meeting in private, naturally it is impossible for the two most important people in the Zhang Clan's Marquis Mansion to meet a dead man, what if something goes wrong with this dead man? And these two guards are the final bottom line.
Zhang Zhenhai is a middle-aged man with a cold face, his eyebrows are somewhat similar to Zhang Xiaoting, but he is more majestic, he sat on the main seat and said coldly: "What information?" But did you find Xiaoting? ”
The servant knelt on the ground and bowed his head and said, "Yes, the eldest lady has been found, but the situation is a little special." ”
Zhang Zhenhai didn't speak, Zhang Yueshan asked: "You say it, we will judge the specific situation." ”
The servant told him what had happened, what he had seen, and what he knew.
At first, the two rulers of the Hou Mansion were still very calm, but when they heard that a standard modern town appeared in a poor mountain nest in the country, and according to the description of the domestic servants, it was a very neat, orderly, and wealthy town, and at the same time there was a thermal power station, as well as supporting facilities, and a mine, as well as thousands of elite soldiers, and 100,000 people......
Just these made the expressions of the two Hou Mansion masters a little moved.
Those ordinary people, or scholars who think about it, will feel that only the array of hundreds of thousands of troops is the so-called big war, and only these people who don't understand it at all will feel that the so-called hidden dragon must be a million army under his command, and the strategists are like clouds and fierce generals like rain, and between shouts and cheers are tens of millions of people.
These are all family sayings.
Take this dynasty as an example, the founder of the Sang Dynasty Taizu is actually just a small county order, after losing his deer in the last dynasty, Taizu dug deep into the county, let all kinds of grass kings in the world roar by, he worked hard to manage the county one acre and three points of land, persuaded farmers to train soldiers, and made heroes, three years without sounding, three years later, when the grass head king thundered the king of the countryside to plunder, Taizu did his best to kill the county 3,000 troops, ambushed the Thunder King at the copper mountain, 3,000 broke 100,000 troops, covered up 50 miles, ambushed countless corpses, but also beheaded the Thunder King, recovered its 300,000 people, Occupy a state capital, and now it is Megatron, and it is regarded as a hidden dragon by all the sages of the world.
But when he made his fortune, the people under his rule were only 50,000!
The county order is also known as Baili Hou, on the prestige, it is really not much worse than the Hou Mansion, but this is a public position, once the position is lost, the authority is lost, but the Hou Mansion belongs to the national position, and the country is in power, which is naturally different.
And a territory, orderly, there is an army, there are people, this already has the assets of the hidden dragon, coupled with modern towns, modern thermal power stations and supporting facilities, this is not an ordinary hidden dragon, but a powerful hidden dragon that is really qualified to compete in the world, even if this so-called world is a face country, but it also belongs to the national body, and the mulberry country is just a size.
Therefore, when the two masters of the Hou Mansion heard this, they were moved, and their sitting posture also changed from casual to upright, obviously attaching great importance to this matter.
At this time, the servant said that when he sneaked into the work place, he saw Zhang Xiaoting who came to inspect.
Zhang Yueshan immediately couldn't help but ask, "Big sister? Inspection? In what capacity does she patrol? What is the inspection? ”
The domestic servant said respectfully: "The eldest lady is one of the four core cadres of the force, and she is in charge of the money, food and everything of the force. ”
Zhang Yueshan was stunned for a moment, he looked at Zhang Zhenhai, Zhang Zhenhai half stood up, leaned forward with his upper body, and shouted sternly: "Zhu'an, my Zhang family is based on strict governance of the family, but the clan is military law, you should know that if what you said is false, what are the consequences?" It's not just your life or death, it's your parents and your family! ”
The servant immediately buried his head deep and said, "The slave knows, Nu doesn't dare to say half a lie!" ”
Zhang Zhenhai looked at Zhu An for a moment, and then said slowly: "You go on." ”
Zhu An continued to say that he was discovered by Zhang Xiaoting, and then the guards detained him under Zhang Xiaoting's order, but they did not hurt him, and he had food and meat every day, so some time passed, until a day and a half ago, Zhang Xiaoting sent him to the border of Sang and asked him to return to Zhang's mansion to report the matter.
“…… What sent me back was a hovering tank, which was the Zhiguo main battle tank Black Panther, which I could see clearly and confirm clearly, and I would never admit my mistake. ”
Zhang Zhenhai and Zhang Yueshan were silent, they didn't believe it, but at this time, they didn't have to say it, they would confirm it after there was any problem, and this matter was related to Zhu An's life and death, and everything would be decided later.
Zhang Zhenhai pondered for a moment and said, "All finished?" ”
Zhu An nodded and said: "It's all done, in the afternoon two days later, the eldest lady will wait for someone from the Hou Mansion to come from the same place where I was released, this is the last word, and this, the eldest lady asked me to hand it over to the adult." ”
Zhu An took out the freezer from the package behind him, he respectfully put it on the ground, and then knelt down and bowed his head, looking at nothing else.
Zhang Zhenhai and Zhang Yueshan are still sitting high, since this thing can be brought in, it is obviously also checked, not a bomb or a weapon, so Zhang Zhenhai nodded slightly, and a guard behind him stepped forward, but he did not hand it to Zhang Zhenhai, but came to the corner of the room, and after getting Zhang Zhenhai's nod, he opened the incubator.
The incubator was opened, and after the guard confirmed that there was no danger, he handed it over to Zhang Zhenhai.
Zhang Zhenhai looked at the incubator, he was slightly stunned, and took out a needle as soon as he reached out.
"This is ......" Zhang Zhenhai guessed a little in his heart, but he was not sure, he just looked at Zhang Yueshan.
Zhang Yueshan naturally saw this tube of injection, he was slightly stunned, and then immediately showed shock on his face, and immediately said: "Father, is this ......?"
Zhang Zhenhai waved his hand, Zhang Yueshan suddenly couldn't speak, and then Zhang Zhenhai said: "If you have merit, you will naturally be rewarded, I wish you peace and go down and wait for the order." ”
Zhu An kowtowed respectfully, and then got up and left the secret room without looking back.
After Zhu An left, Zhang Zhenhai said to the two guards behind him: "You guys go down too." ”
The two guards naturally left respectfully, and only the father and son were left in the secret room.
Zhang Zhenhai pinched the injection and said: "This should be the lifespan elixir, otherwise Xiaoting will not let people send it back, the only question is, where did this lifespan elixir come from?" ”
Zhang Yueshan immediately said: "Is it made or purchased, right?" Father, I heard that there are already two forces that have become the agent of the life potion, an Asti chaebol and a Morgan Feller chaebol, the stocks of these two chaebols have risen like crazy, and the two sons of Morgan Feller announced the selection of the next commander of the country, and the prestige of the two chaebols has risen sharply. ”
Zhang Zhenhai pondered for a moment, and then he said: "This matter needs you to go in person, I promise you fifty red clothes to protect your safety, you must understand three things this time, first, is your eldest sister a real core cadre, or a puppet, second, is this force real, or a puppet of a certain country, third, your eldest sister contacted us at this time, is there anything we need to do?" What the hell is this, big or small, these three things are the most important, you have to figure it out thoroughly, understand? ”
Zhang Yueshan immediately nodded and said, "I understand, these three things determine the next actions and positions of our Hou Mansion, but ...... Face Country...... It's too small. ”
Zhang Zhenhai laughed and said: "It's not small, it's not small, no matter how small the country is, it is equivalent to the size of two states and counties in our Mulberry country, and the people under his rule have exceeded 10 million, if it is really Jackie Chan, then he must marry Xiaoting, in this way, our Zhang Houfu will be transnational, and then our security will have a qualitative change, don't you understand this truth?" ”
Zhang Yueshan naturally nodded.
Whether a force is transnational or not, this is actually a qualitative change and the key, similar to the Zhang Marquis Mansion, a prominent family nobleman in the Sang country, if it cannot cross borders, the day of the country's annihilation is the time when the Zhang Marquis Mansion declines or even collapses, and even more than that, as long as it is not transnational, then what the emperor or cabinet wants to do, the Zhang Marquis Mansion can't even resist.
But once it's cross-border, it's a different story.
At the moment, there is an undercurrent in the Zhang family's mansion, but except for Zhang Zhenhai and Zhang Yueshan, others don't know about it at all.
