"As for why we don't vigorously support the wealthy gentry in Fuping County and why we are not afraid that the wealthy gentry in Lian County will become difficult to control, of course there are reasons." Zeng Yu cleared up the confusion about Heaven's Punishment and began to explain Si Wuxie's confusion.

"First, most of our Chengji gentry are Han people, while most of Lian County's gentry are Qiang people. The gap between these two identities means that the gentry in these two places are destined to be incompatible. Even if there are interests entangled in it, it will not last long." Zeng

Yu’s eyes sparkled with an inexplicable light

, explained in detail to the two right-hand assistants here, as if they have the aura of a lord, "Secondly, the wealthy gentry in Lian County also have a small background. With the help of the imperial examination, not many people have become officials. The issue of collusion between officials and businessmen will not be solved in the short term.

There is no need to worry.”

"The situation of the wealthy gentry in Fuping County is different from that of the wealthy gentry in Lian County, and it is even different from the wealthy gentry who have grown up in Chengji!" Zeng Yu smiled and said: "For example, the Duan family is an aristocratic family! The family has children all over the country.

When the Han Dynasty was launched, Liangzhou also had to tremble. With this kind of power, we can only restrict their development instead of supporting their development. Needless to say, that period of fire is also very interesting and has limited the development of the family. "

"Our goal is to ultimately support the government-business association to gradually become the economic pillar of Huce Mansion." Zeng Yu sneered: "Whether it is a wealthy gentry, a landlord, or a family, the relationship with the government is always just for use, and it is only for temporary use.

It’s okay to come! If you want to use it in the long term, you have to suppress some groups and support some groups.”

"I see, my lord is really thoughtful and has a very shrewd understanding of the ways of government and business." After listening to Zeng Yu's detailed explanation, Si Wuxie also had a general understanding.

Just as the conversation in the room was very lively, Liu Biao also walked in with the person in charge of Lian County of the Duwei Mansion of the pro-army army.

"Song Weiyang, the commander of the Lieutenant's Mansion stationed in Lian County, is here to pay homage to the lord!" This man was white-faced and beardless, and was dressed in a scholar's uniform. After he came in, he bowed directly to Zeng Yu without any introduction. He was extremely aware of current affairs.

As the name suggests, the Qinjun Duwei Mansion is owned by Zeng Yu's Qinjun, and such etiquette is also required.

"Get up and talk!" Zeng Yu saw that this person looked like a scholar, but he was selected by Liu Hu to be the person in charge of intelligence in a place. He should have some merits.

"Thank you, Lord!" After Song Weiyang stood up, she also lowered her eyebrows and stood with her hands tied, extremely respectful.

"Do you have a backup of the recent information on the Huns?" Zeng Yu asked directly about the purpose.

"My lord, yes." Song Weiyang spoke the latest information about the Huns without hesitation: "Yu Fuluo and Zhang Xiu joined forces to march into Gunzhou, but were defeated by Xia Houyuan, and Yu Fulo was seriously injured. The Xiongnu royal court began

Internal fighting for the position of khan."

Although it was just a short sentence, in the Three Kingdoms era, there were countless forces, and he was able to speak out the information smoothly, which shows that this person is really capable.

Everyone here looked at the person in charge of the pro-military Duwei Mansion with very different eyes and looked at him with admiration.

Liu Biao even introduced: "Master Song is also very familiar with the local trends in various places in Lian County, and he is very helpful to me."

"Haha!" This was an unexpected surprise. A talent could be found here. Zeng Yu chuckled and asked: "Master Song, where is your family name? You really have some talent!"

With interest, Zeng Yu took a look at this person's attributes: Song Weiyang, courtesy name Tian Kai (Purple Famous General), internal affairs 99, intelligence 99, bravery 10, physical strength 10, speed 100. Skills: discerning (elementary) can discover from intelligence

Take advantage of the bright spots and become more proficient as your skills grow.

Sure enough, it was the Three Kingdoms era, when heroes emerged in large numbers, and there were talents in the mountains and fields! Zeng Yu sighed inwardly, and then he really paid attention to the person in front of him.

"My lord, I am a Han from Lingzhou. I have been studying scriptures since I was a child and wanted to serve the imperial court! However, Beidi County has experienced Qiang chaos and misfortunes, and my ambitions have never been realized." Song Weiyang said with some emotion: "This time in Hu Ce Mansion

He pacified Beidi County and saved us Beidi people from the fire and water. When I am grateful, I can only apply what I have learned to Hu Ce Mansion."

"Haha!" Zeng Yu smiled while stroking his hands: "What a talented person! What an unexpected surprise!"

"When you meet a good person, of course you have to be careful!" Zeng Yu said playfully.

Everyone became more excited when they saw Zeng Yu, so everyone clapped their hands in agreement and wanted to see what talents this person had.

When they met for the first time, Zeng Yu had the intention to reuse this person. Although this person was not a famous general and his skills were very simple, his skills were very practical. A mere spy chief stationed in a local area must be overqualified and underused.

"I thanked my lord for the compliment, and asked for your advice." Song Weiyang was overjoyed. Knowing that the opportunity had come, he hurriedly listened.

Regarding this, Zeng Yu already had a clue in his mind and said with a smile: "This time the Huns came to us to exchange their general Qubei. You also know the information about the Huns. Do you think we should exchange it? Or how to exchange it?"

"

Song Weiyang thought for a moment and answered cautiously: "The villain learned from the intelligence that Huchuquan was the main factor in the Xiongnu defeat. He was eager to recruit Qubei back in order to compete with other Xiongnu forces. If he fails this time,

Maybe no more

He had the opportunity to ascend to the throne of the Xiongnu Khan. Therefore, it was extremely important for him to go to humble places. Huchuquan used 100,000 cattle and sheep to redeem him. Normally, this price is indeed appropriate. A Xiongnu nobleman is only worth so much money. But this

time, but it’s not worth it.”

"Furthermore, I heard that my lord plans to form an alliance with Cao Cao. Not only is Huchuquan interested in going to Bei, but Cao Cao is also interested in taking Bei's head to scare the Huns, so that the Huns will not invade Gunzhou again. This news can also be used

A bargaining chip with the Xiongnu envoys." The pro-military captain's mansion is extremely well-informed. Song Weiyang had news about what was announced at today's luncheon that day.

Zeng Yu nodded and said, "What do you mean?"

The people of Beidi County had a deep hatred for the Hu people. If they had such a good opportunity to make the Xiongnu royal court bleed, of course they would kill them severely.

Song Weiyang thought of the barbarians who had been ravaging the North for many years and how many families had been displaced. He couldn't help but gnashed his teeth, filled with hatred, and said with some excitement: "This matter is related to the succession of Huchuquan. If they want to redeem themselves, at least fifty

Thousands of cattle and sheep!”

Five hundred thousand cattle and sheep! This is enough to cover the food expenses of the 24 counties under the rule of Hu Ce Prefecture for half a year! Everyone was in an uproar when I said it. This is really a big deal! The price has increased five times! The Huns want

You really agreed, what a genius! But are the Huns so stupid?

"Commander Song, you should be more careful. The Huns have just been defeated by Cao Cao and suffered heavy losses. Even if they want to take so many cattle and sheep, they can't get them!" Liu Biao shook his head, disapproving of this suggestion.

Tianshu and Si Wuxie also shook their heads, not optimistic about this suggestion. They simply regarded the Huns as big fools.

Don't doubt those you employ, and don't trust those you doubt. Zeng Yu looked at Song Weiyang. He had always had a firm vision. Even when people questioned him, nothing changed.

It seems that he is very confident! Zeng Yu defied all opinions, looked at Song Weiyang and pointed at Si Wuxie and said: "Since you are so confident, it is up to you to negotiate with the Huns. Later, you and Si Wuxie

Mr. Xie, please go back to Fuping County together, and once this matter is settled, you will be the military commander of the pro-military captain's mansion, directly responsible for the intelligence processing of the entire Beidi County!"

The ugly words had to be said first. Zeng Yu solemnly said: "Since there are rewards, there must also be punishments. If you can't negotiate with the Huns for 500,000 cattle and sheep, then you should resign. It is better to be a commoner."

"

"It's still too late for you to regret it!" Zeng Yu said casually.

After the negotiation was completed, he was promoted to the supervisor of the entire Northland County.

If the negotiation fails, they will be demoted to common people.

One choice, two consequences, one in the sky, one underground, the risk is extremely high! But Song Weiyang still had no panic expression on his face, and naturally took a step forward: "The villain is willing to lead the military order!"

"Well, that's good. I will let you take full responsibility for this matter!" Zeng Yu waved his hand and settled the matter. For him, he had almost no memory of going to Beibei. Even if the negotiation was not completed, it would not matter.

Influence.

"I thank you, my lord!" At this time, Song Weiyang showed some excitement. He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times. Zeng Yu was able to hand over all the diplomacy of a force to an official whom he met for the first time. It was really

A great trust. In his heart, even if he died, he would not be able to repay this kindness.

"Sir Song." Zeng Yu waved his hand to let him get up and said with a smile: "As long as you get things done, there are so many red tapes and etiquette."

"No!" Song Weiyang stood up, straightened her face, tied her hands and walked aside to wait.

"You are all virtuous ministers of our Hu Ce Mansion. As long as you work together, you may not be able to achieve great things in the future." Zeng Yu's purpose of coming to Lian County has basically been accomplished. He was in a cheerful mood and said with a smile: "There are many forces in Liangzhou, and they are causing trouble.

, the wars are endless, making it difficult for the people to live. However, I think the general trend is in recent years, so we must grasp it well, you still need to work hard!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood what Zeng Yu was thinking.

It was obvious that efforts were being made to unify Liangzhou, everyone's faces suddenly turned red, and the crowd became a little excited.

"Especially this time, Brother Tiansun, when I go to Xuzhou as an envoy, I must handle this matter well. We don't necessarily have to force an alliance with Cao Cao, as long as we can make Cao Cao express his position. Even if we pretend to surrender, it doesn't matter." Zeng Yu was silent for a moment.

, and then said: "Liu Biao, you have to cooperate here. After Brother Tianshu and Lin Jingshang leave the country, you can release this news! Let the Ma family and Liangzhou forces be afraid!"

"promise!"

"promise!"

Zeng Yu said it seriously, Liu Biao and Tianshu quickly accepted the order.

After entrusting the matter to Liu Biao, Zeng Yu began to inspect the farming affairs of other counties non-stop. Time waited for no one and he could not relax at all.

Especially when it comes to spring sowing, which is related to the fundamentals of people's livelihood, Zeng Yu has to personally go on patrol.

Three years! Zeng Yu set a goal for himself. As long as there are three years, Beidi County's economy can fully develop, and then it can feed back the Huce Mansion, with a steady supply of troops and food! By then,
Chapter completed!
