250. Chapter 250
In the end, Ta Tiezhu, Huang Dalang and other ten people won the right to move in at a high price, and happily followed the maid who led the way.
Similarly, Liu Biao also successfully warmed up the policy of the new concept of project bidding to the wealthy gentry and landlords, so that when it is actually implemented in the future, it can attract more wealth to the government.
Well, seeing how cooperative Lin Jingshang was, Liu Biao also gave some money to the actual boss of Siguilou. Everyone was happy!
Only those landowners who were not qualified and had insufficient financial resources left this place angrily! At the same time, they also made up their mind to come to Sigui Tower early the next day and wait. I don’t believe they won’t be able to wait until their lord goes out! Still there are still
Opportunity! Diaosi also has his own plans!
As the protagonist, Zeng Yu was currently in the attic, looking through the history books he carried with him, but he was unaware of the changes that the wealthy gentry and landlords had brought about in order to grab the right to occupy the property.
As the head of the two counties, Zeng Yu does not need to pay too much attention to these minor details. He only needs to grasp the general direction! Let the ship of Hu Ce Mansion continue to grow and move forward!
He stayed in this Sigui Building not because he didn't want to go to the county government office to sleep late at night, but because he needed to discuss another important matter with Lin Jingshang.
Lin Jingshang needed to cooperate smoothly, and of course he had to give him some face, so he stayed in this Sigui Building.
However, we have to discuss this matter in detail with Lin Jingshang tomorrow.
It was already past midnight, the night was thick and chilly.
Zeng Yu, who was looking at the history books attentively, suddenly yawned, and sleepiness surged up like a tide. He had better rest first. If there is anything else, he should think about it tomorrow.
The next day, early in the morning, the sun shines!
Zeng Yu stretched lazily, feeling relieved. He just clapped his hands and a guard walked in from outside the door.
"Lord, the maids here have prepared toiletries and breakfast." The guard reported, "Do you want them to bring it up?"
"Well, yes!" Of course, this little detail was about doing as the Romans do. Zeng Yu then ordered: "Go and call Lin Jingshang over. I have something to tell him."
"No!" The guard bowed and retreated.
Just after Zeng Yu washed up and finished eating, Lin Jingshang walked in knowingly.
"My lord!" Lin Jingshang bowed and said.
"Well, just sit down, no need to be polite!" Zeng Yu waved his hand and said.
Lin Jingshang carefully found a stool and sat down, only sitting on half of it to show respect for Zeng Yu.
Zeng Yu saw this and said kindly: "Brother Lin, I said you don't need to be polite!"
Lin Jingshang said shyly: "My Lord, I, Lin, am just doing my duty."
"Haha!" Zeng Yu chuckled, "Well, I see Brother Lin's respect for me and will bear it in my heart!"
Being praised like this by Zeng Yu, Lin Jingshang's heart was filled with joy. With the master of Beidi County praising him again and again, it seems that our Lin family has hope to revive again!
"By the way, Brother Lin, I heard last time that you are related to Jia Wen and Sir. I wonder if you have any contact in recent days?" Zeng Yu looked at Lin Jingshang's happy face and changed the topic to the main topic.
As soon as Zeng Yu said these words, Lin Jingshang's heart skipped a beat, and his joyful mood suddenly calmed down. It turned out that Zeng Yu had calculated this and used himself to connect with Jia Xu.
However, now that Cao Cao, whom Jia Xu has taken refuge in, has lost his capital, Xuchang, and seems to have lost the support of the emperor in the court, can it still bring benefits to Zeng Yu?
Lin Jingshang was a hundred times more submissive in front of Zeng Yu this time than before. One of the reasons was that seeing Cao Cao's faction lose Xuchang, he felt that the backstage had no confidence, so naturally he had no choice but to please Zeng Yu.
Who cares! As long as Jia Xu can get on the line with Zeng Yu and have a relationship of interest to take care of, wouldn't the relationship with Zeng Yu be more solid? Lin Jingshang had a lot of twists and turns in his mind, but he thought about it in just a moment.
"Your Majesty, Jia Wen and I are my cousin's uncle. Although we are far apart, we are in constant contact." Lin Jingshang replied with a low eyebrow.
"Oh?" Zeng Yu said with a smile: "Where have Jia Wen and your lord been enjoying themselves recently? I have always wanted to get in touch with Mr. Cao, but I just can't find the matchmaker. Brother Lin, do you think?"
Asking where Jia Xu is now is also to test the familiarity between Lin Jingshang and Jia Xu. If you can't answer this, naturally there will be no further information.
Fortunately, although Lin Jingshang is not very old, his connections are first-rate. Even though he and Jia Xu are just cousins, and they are far apart, he still has to send some specialties from his hometown every one or two months to show his respect, so as not to
Broken the relationship.
As long as someone in the family becomes an official, Lin Jingshang will be listed as the key person to pay filial piety in his mind. This is the secret of his personal expertise.
Lin Jingshang said calmly: "Years ago, when I sent someone to contact Jia Wen, he was still in Xuzhou. If my lord is in need, I will do my best!"
"Well! Very good!" A hint of joy flashed in Zeng Yu's eyes. It seems that Lin Jingshang is really related to Jia Xu. Cao Cao's forces have recently settled in Xuzhou, and there has been news from the pro-army Duwei Mansion to confirm this.
Point of truth.
"As long as Brother Lin can help me accomplish this great thing! Your Lin family will definitely prosper in Beidi County in the future!" Zeng Yu immediately made a big promise and tried to get things done right away.
Lin Jingshang was shocked when he heard this. What made Zeng Yu, the leader of the warlord, make such a big promise?
The Ma family was offended too much this time. Although Ma Xiu was not beaten to death, Ma Xiu's limbs were broken. The Ma family would definitely not let it go. Maybe even the newly acquired title of Marquis of Guannei would be taken by Ma Xiu.
The family reported to His Majesty the Emperor that it was cancelled.
You know your own affairs well. Zeng Yu's title of Marquis of Guannei is not as reliable as a title promoted through meritorious service on the battlefield. It can be rewarded by an imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor, but of course it can also be exploited by an imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor.
Zeng Yu had already been mentally prepared for this.
Removing the title is the next best thing. What I fear most is that the Ma family will come to Liangzhou again to stir up trouble, especially if they personally send troops. The Ma family not only has top-notch generals in charge, but also has deep roots in Liangzhou, just like the kings of Liangzhou.
Except for Han Sui, every other force bowed its head in front of their family. Not to mention in front of Zeng Yu, they were equal to the giant beasts of the ancient times, unable to resist at all.
Therefore, Zeng Yu's countermeasure was to make friends from far away and attack close by.
In this era, the only ones who can compete with the Ma family that controls His Majesty the Emperor are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
If he had to choose one of the two, Cao Cao would certainly be Zeng Yu's first choice. However, although there was a teacher named Wei Kang in Cao Cao's camp, Zeng Yu did not want to contact him because of the past. Instead, Jia Xu, who was deeply trusted by Cao Cao,
