Chapter Twenty-Four: You're Not Useful for Giving You a Chance
From the very beginning, Ma Tan has been vigilant about the topic of this group of scholars, trying not to be bypassed. From the moment this Wu family master stretched out his hand to beckon the Qiang girl to come in and dance, Ma Jian felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, then Wu Yong followed the topic of the Qiang girl and began to talk at length in the blink of an eye. has been talking about the threat of the Qiang people to Longxi and the current predicament of Longxi, but they have never mentioned the legal matters they are most concerned about.
It wasn't until the end that a group of people understood the reason, and asked Ma Tan to help save Longxi and exterminate the Qiang people for Longxi County.
Just such a thing as a matter of the law was covered up, and the contradiction was directed to the Qiang people.
If this is a different person, it may really be encircled, and after a lot of enthusiasm, I will agree to come down.
At that time, the county guards exterminated the Qiang people and won military merit and prestige. Without a single person to oversee it, the scholars could have a lot of opportunities to mix water in the promotion of the Chinese law and make the law completely useless.
Ma Jian can imagine that if he really goes to suppress Qiang, the group of officials below him will probably be almost bribed when he comes back. Either replace everyone and transfer more officials from Shuzhong and implement the Han Law from scratch, or you can only pinch your nose and admit it.
Anyway, this is Longxi County, the most remote county, as long as the above is not carefully investigated, it is very simple to deceive the upper and lower in theory.
Okay, win-win, win-win, win-win.
Ma Yan, who figured all this, pinched a cold sweat in his heart, he deserved to be an old fox in officialdom, and he was ruthless when he calculated.
The biggest problem in this is that this set of advice given by the scholars is in the interests of one of his county guards, no matter what aspect it looks at. If you take the prestige of military merits, we will protect our own interests and not interfere.
Even if you see through it, few people will refuse, right?
After thinking everything through, Ma Yan's gaze became more and more cold.
"The head of the Wu family is really calculating, if you hesitate a little, maybe you really follow your way."
"Lord Gunmar, I don't know what you mean." Wu Yong only flashed a trace of disappointment in his eyes, and immediately replied.
"I am just a citizen of Longxi, please think about the safety of the county."
"If the county keeper is unwilling, there is no way. At that time, the Qiang people will attack, and a certain person will personally lead people out of the city to rescue ......"
"Okay, don't give me a sloppy look, do you think I'll believe this?" Ma Tan smiled coldly, sat back in his seat, and said slowly.
"The trouble of the Qiang people will naturally be dealt with. But isn't there a while before the autumn harvest, so let's talk about the implementation of this Chinese law. ”
"Starting tomorrow, he will personally take people to inspect the neighborhood and send people to check the household registration of the county and county. If something goes wrong, you have to cooperate. ”
"I think you, as the people of Longxi, will definitely not refuse, after all, everyone wants to have a peaceful and stable life, right?"
Ma Tan's words made the heads of several families unable to hold their breath at once, and they almost jumped up and scolded.
Ma Tan means that all the money and food for military merit are required by the Han and the law, and the family must not only contribute money and food to support the war, but also implement the Han law to cut the flesh of their warriors. When it's over, they have to make their family smile and reply "thank you".
Is there anyone more brazen than this?
Several people from the family couldn't hold their breath, but the head of the Wu family was still as stable as Mount Tai.
"The county keeper is so diligent in governing and reassuring the people, so we naturally give our full support. Whether it is money, food or soldiers, as long as the county keeper needs us, we will definitely give us full support. ”
The head of the Wu family is as good as a stream, and said calmly to Ma Yan.
"But Lord Gunjo, I'm afraid you don't have enough manpower. In the 11 counties of Longxi County, each county is personally responsible for the adult, and it is difficult to fully implement the Han law before the autumn harvest. ”
"We still have young talents from all ethnic groups, all of whom are familiar with the scriptures, and they are not as good as the county guards, but they can be used, and I don't know ......."
These words instantly put the previous problem on the surface, and the words were very beautiful.
You want it all, okay, I agree on behalf of the family. But don't try to implement it 100%, there must be people from our noble clan in the middle, and some things have to be discussed.
The head of the Wu family knew that if anything had to turn into a conflict, it would not be good for anyone. It's better to make some concessions, and the rest will be slowly deducted in cooperation.
Anyway, this is Longxi County, and it's their home field.
It's just that the head of the Wu family understands this truth, and Ma Jian also understands it.
"This is not necessary, Master Wu." Ma Tan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said with a smile.
"Although there are eleven counties in Longxi, Tan also has enough energy to deal with it. Even if it can't be completed before the autumn harvest, Tan is confident that he can slowly implement the Han law while repelling the Qiang people. ”
"These things don't bother the major families, the major families only need to pay for food, and then sit back in the city and enjoy their achievements. What I like the most is helping others. ”
"Help you ******" Finally, the head of the Han family couldn't bear it at all. It seemed to them that they had already made the greatest concession, almost drawing blood on the major arteries.
Even so, Ma Jian was still not satisfied, and even wanted it all. Such a shameless thing, it's a shame that he can say it!
"Ma Yan, don't be too aggressive, this is Longxi County!" The Han family's face turned red, and he pointed at Ma Jian and scolded.
"Even if Longxi County has served the Han court, it is not at the mercy of others. Without us, you don't talk about governance, believe it or not, I'll let you get out in less than a month! ”
He wasn't stupid enough to say that he would let Ma Jian die on the streets, which would just give Ma Jian a reason to deal with them.
However, it can be seen from his murderous eyes that if Ma Tan does not cooperate, they will really do the trick.
The conflict of interests is always the blackest.
However, Ma Jian smiled slightly and suddenly stood up. Then, in the stunned eyes of a group of people, he pulled out a sharp blade from his waist and slowly walked towards the head of the Han family.
"What do you want to do? You can't be presumptuous here! The Han family master's face suddenly changed, and he took a step back vigilantly and said angrily.
The matter of Ma Tan killing You Chu has long been spread, and this kind of person who kills people without blinking an eye is the most tricky.
Fortunately, the head of the Han family is from a military background, so he is not worried about Ma Jian hacking him here.
It's just that Ma Tan walked up to him slowly and methodically, and suddenly threw the blade into his hand. Then he straightened his chest and took a step forward, pointing to his heart and said lightly.
"Here, give you a chance, stab me to death!"
"Huh?" The head of the Han family looked at the knife in his hand, and his face changed.
"Stab me! Come! Ma Tan smiled coldly and pointed to his chest and said.
"Hit me in the heart, don't you really want to kill me? Come on! Do you dare? ”
Looking at Ma Yan's arrogant expression, the head of the Han family was as if he had eaten overnight, and his face was extremely dark. Facing Ma Yan's chest, which was close at hand, the knife in his hand didn't dare to stab it at all.
If the county guard sent by Shu is killed in public, then the Shu people will be bloodied in Longxi.
"You're useless if you give you a chance!" Taking advantage of his stunned opportunity, Ma Jian kicked over and directly kicked the unprepared Han family master to the ground. Then he snorted disdainfully.
"You're useless if you give you a chance!"
