Don’t stop pretending

After Master Ma returned to Yansui Town, he told the commander-in-chief and the governor Zhang Zongxian's final conditions.

In order to settle the matter before the arrival of the new supervisory army, the two gritted their teeth and agreed. In order to collect enough food, they actually had the military food originally sent to Yanshou Town from the provinces be redirected to Qingjian County.

As for the defense of the two side wall fortresses, this matter is more complicated and takes time to deal with. Even if it is hereditary, it needs to be reported to the officials, not to mention that both of them are common people.

However, these two fortresses can be handed over to Zhang Zongxian's people for management first. The original defenses can be retained for now.

Zhang Zongxian also gave up as soon as he saw the opportunity. The most important thing now is to take care of the matter of promotion. The matter of accepting the fortress will have to wait until he is promoted. Let the good ministers and Bo Ren run their official bodies first.

No matter how you are on the defensive, you have to be a governor. The two of them have to raise the small flag first, then to the 100 households, then to the 100 households. When they reach the 100 households, they are promoted to the governor.

After Master Ma came back, Zhang Zongxian asked Master Ma to hand over the subsequent facts to Zhao Songqing, Gonggong An's former aide. From now on, Zhao Songqing will be Master Ma's subordinate.

Before Master Ma left for the capital, Zhang Zongxian called Master Ma to the study alone and explained the extra things he needed to do before going to the capital.

When Master Ma arrived in the study, he first took out the memorial he had written and showed it to Zhang Zongxian. After reading it, Zhang Zongxian was very satisfied. Thinking of the additional salary, he told Master Ma:

"The memorial is well written and can be submitted. I just need to trouble Master Ma to add another one, proposing the abolition of the additional Liaoning rates. I guess the monopoly on briquettes is enough for Liaodong."

"The master is so considerate of the people. No wonder the people of Qingjian County love the master so much."

Although Zhang Zongxian had the identification letter written by Master Ma, he was a member of the team after all, and originally wanted to murder Zhang Zongxian. For this reason, Zhang Zongxian planned to show off again and completely regain Master Ma.

Zhang Zongxian first stood up and looked up at the map on the wall of the study room, and then said seriously:

"Master Ma must know how miserable the people are. Do you know why I came to Qingjian County? With Eunuch Wei of the Wei Dynasty taking care of me, wouldn't it be better to go to Jiangnan and become a county magistrate? Or wouldn't it be better to stay in the capital?"

Master Ma didn't know what this owner was trying to do, so he could only reply:

"I don't know what my master's grand ambitions are!"

"Because I know that Liaodong will be defeated and Shaanxi will rebel."

Master Ma was so frightened after hearing this. He didn’t know what to say.

"this···"

"To say that Liaodong will be defeated, you should first read the book "All Living Beings Should Be Tribulated"."

After saying that, he handed the book to Master Ma. Master Ma looked at it with curiosity. Zhang Zongxian did not bother him and went to teach in the college first. He would continue chatting with Master Ma after class.

After finishing the class, Master Ma also finished reading it. Full of questions, he asked impatiently before Zhang Zongxian could take a sip of tea:

"How did the master know that Liaodong will be defeated? Is this wild boar skin really an alien demon?"

Zhang Zongxian signaled Master Ma not to be anxious, and he took a sip of tea first. Then he told Master Ma how he became his master, and how his master died because he stole the secret. Now he had to come here in order to deal with the robbery.

The place of walls.

Master Ma was also confused after hearing this. He initially decided whether Zhang Zongxian was suffering from hysteria, but when he saw that he had explained it so clearly, he began to waver.

After all, the situation of the Ming Dynasty is obvious to the public. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong with this empire, a big problem. The people are wandering on the line of life and death, the court is still raising taxes, and the elites from the nine sides are all generals.

There are private armies and constant party disputes in the court.

It looks like the scene before the end of the dynasty, and now someone is almost revolting. In fact, civil unrest in various places has continued, but it has not formed a prairie fire.

Zhang Zongxian didn't expect Master Ma to believe his words right away. He just laid some foreshadowings first. After the battle in Saerhu, he would know whether he was right or not. When Zhu Youxiao took over, Master Ma would never question him again.

Zhang Zongxian’s words.

"I don't want to get promoted and get rich. I do everything for the sake of the people of the world to survive this disaster!"

Let's not talk about Liaodong. You have been in Shaanxi for a few years. How do you feel? Although the Tatars have rarely harassed the border areas since the beginning.

However, the imperial court was in arrears every year, and the generals had already turned the border areas into private property. They treated military households as cattle and sheep and bullied and exploited them wantonly. As long as there were a few natural disasters, the people who could not survive would inevitably rebel. Even if the people's rebellion was suppressed, it would still be over.

The farming time is delayed and the land is wasted.

Without the common people to farm and supply the border areas, the soldiers who cannot survive can only follow the rebellion. I am here to let the people survive and lead them through this disaster. Master Ma, it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. As long as you are loyal to me,

Just do things for me."

Why didn't Mr. Ma understand? Otherwise, he wouldn't have suggested that his former employer participate in the conspiracy to seize Zhang Zongxian's property. Of course, Mr. Ma couldn't say this directly, he could only express his loyalty.

"I am loyal to you, and I will overcome obstacles and clear obstacles for my grand ambitions."

"Well, go to the capital, Master Ma. In addition to submitting a memorial, you also have to do two things for me. One is to let the people in the capital see and hear that all sentient beings should be robbed. The other is to set up a guild hall in Beijing as the Taiping Hao.

Beijing office.

The first thing should be done secretly, and the second thing should be done openly. After the association is established, it will start to support the down-and-out scholars to facilitate the recruitment of talents in the future."

"Master is really far-sighted. Please rest assured that these two things will be done well."

"In addition, when you go to the capital, you have to bring gifts to visit Eunuch Li and Duke Wei in the palace. You can also ask them for help with some things. Especially Eunuch Li, do you understand? Then Eunuch Li agreed to be my official.

The operation will also include Qingjian County into Jiazhou."

"I understand. I wonder what gifts I want to give to my father-in-law?"

"It's soap. I'll show you later. They are all things to coax women. In addition to Tianru wine and other things, you can bring fifty thousand taels of silver to the capital for dredging expenses. Don't be afraid of spending money. The money has to be spent and put in the cellar.

The purpose here is to make wedding clothes for others."

"My master's words are really wise! Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the capital, and I also contributed to the position of governor of Yanshou. I will definitely win the position of governor of the state for you when I go here."

"When the matter is settled, I will arrange for Staff Zhao to replace you. From now on, there will be many places where I can rely on Master Ma."

After talking about going to the capital and deciding to leave the day after tomorrow, Zhang Zongxian also selected a few people from Yunong's training to accompany Master Ma to the capital. Among them was Li Ergou.
