What kind of formation has Zhang Mazi not encountered before?

Besides, he is nominally the county magistrate of Echeng, and he is not afraid even if the three major gentry want to kill him.

Apart from assassination, these three gentry did not dare to kill the county magistrate in broad daylight.

The gentry is cruel and ruthless, but these gentry are often also scrupulous in their work because they are worried about being suppressed by the government.

Although there are no warlords guarding Echeng, there are many troops in the provincial capital, even the Shitou City not far away, there are also troops guarding them.

In this way, the squire only dared to use some other means.

But the county magistrate is also a vulnerable group, and the gentry is afraid of the army, but not afraid of your county magistrate. How many people are there under the county magistrate??

Huang Silang had 500 people in his hands, and this name was to protect Goose City. Wu Zhichong was the coach of the group training, but in fact these 500 people were Huang Mazi's private soldiers.

In addition to Huang Silang, the two major families in the south of the city also have at least more than 100 private troops.

That's why they are fearless.

What is more important??

During the Republic of China, if a county magistrate did not receive the approval of a gentry, it would definitely be difficult to move forward.

We have said this all over again, but when it comes to the specific matter, you will know how awesome the squire is.

According to normal routines, the county magistrate Zhang Mazi should visit Huang Silang and the two major families in the south of the city in turn. There is a good saying that contacts "feelings".

After all, if the county magistrate wants to implement executive orders, the consequences of not having the support of the gentry are unimaginable.

Let’s not talk about other places for now. In Echeng, the county government “completely manipulates the landlords and gentry’s hands. All political measures will not work at all without the consent of the landlords and gentry.

The current township baojia chief is the agent of the landlord and gentry, and the landlord and gentry are the coverers of the township baojia chief."

Secondly, gentry can cause trouble for county magistrates at all times and everywhere. County magistrates will inevitably touch the interests of gentry in the process of doing business. Once there is a conflict between the two sides, these people will "accus the county magistrate" to the provincial government. "The provincial government often uses a lawsuit, regardless of the size of the case, and immediately sends people to investigate, which will cause the prestige of the county government and suffer a lot of losses. It is difficult to implement administrative orders!"

In this way, how can the county magistrate do it steadily?

Faced with this situation, "If the county magistrate does not collude with Haoyu, he will not be able to stand. If he strips him together, he will be able to get the money and the official reputation will be good."

Those who are enterprising will mostly return in a bad situation. For example, during Feng Yuxiang's administration in Henan, the county magistrate Ji Jie, who was striving to refresh the policy style, took office and was forced to resign because the gentry in various townships were unable to govern.

But how did Zhang Mazi do it?

This guy is so domineering that he shoots when he enters the city. Why does Huang Silang say that Zhang Mazi is looking for death because of this?

You, a county magistrate who was kneeling on his begging for food, dare you enter the city to shoot?

That's not all. This guy actually got out the unjust drum that he didn't use for decades and even hit Wu Zhichong in the butt. What did you think this Mazi do is suitable for the squire?

In the movie, Huang Silang also asked someone to go to the provincial capital to investigate the situation, but it seemed that because the provincial capital was too busy, Zhang Mazi would have been beaten down.

“Are you nervous??”

The two rode their horses toward the restaurant in the south of the city. Zhang Mazi looked at Liuzi and asked with a smile.

"Dad, I didn't know what nervousness is since I was a child."

Lin Zhendong laughed: "I feel like this is the Hongmen Banquet this time."

"What a shitty Hongmen Banquet, these bastards don't even deserve to carry shoes to Xiang Yu."

Zhang Mazi cursed: "Let's see what they're going to do for this meal later."

"become."

Lin Zhendong no longer said anything.

He originally thought that Huang Silang was the first to invite the meal, but he never expected that it was the two major families in the south of the city who came to invite it.

The "Eiccheng Restaurant" in the south of the city is the Zhang family's property. At this time, there are dancers who are already beating drums and drums at the door.

"Welcome the county magistrate to the downstairs of Echeng Restaurant."

Zhang Xuan from the Echeng Restaurant smiled and bowed over: "I am Zhang Xuan, the shopkeeper of the restaurant. My family leader told me to wait for the county magistrate downstairs."

"Your family is so arrogant."

Lin Zhendong took a step forward and said, "The county magistrate is here, but he doesn't even come to greet him in person? Is he looking down on the county magistrate??"

"Hahaha, the county magistrate misunderstood. Lao Zhang's legs and feet are not very good. He can't stand it after standing for a long time. Zhang Xuan didn't say it clearly. Lao Zhang had just gone up not long."

Just then, a hearty laughter sounded, and an old man also walked out with a crutch: "County Ma, I am Liu Chun, the patriarch of the Liu family."

"So it's Mr. Liu."

Zhang Mazi also stretched out his hand and said, "It seems that I have misunderstood. Let's go in and talk."

"Okay, go in and say."

Liu Chun turned to Zhang Xuan and said, "Zhang Xuan, let's let everyone disperse. Everyone should eat and drink. Today, the county magistrate treats guests, and all the vegetables and meat in the south of the city will be half price."

"Okay, Mr. Liu, I'll go and give instructions now."

Zhang Xuan said loudly to everyone: "Have you heard it? The county magistrate has spoken. Today you can have free meals in a big restaurant, and the whole south of the city is half price."

As soon as the words were finished, everyone knelt down.

"Thank you, County Magistrate."

"Thank you, Master Qingtian."

"Thank you, County Magistrate."

Everyone knelt down together.

Zhang Mazi's face changed. He didn't expect that the bastard named Liu wanted to fool himself as soon as he came up. At this time, he turned around and shot first.

Bang!

The gunshot shocked everyone else.

"I said, don't kneel. Your knees have become weak before. I came to Goose City to help you cure your knees."

Zhang Mazi said loudly: "It's all gone. I will discuss with Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang to see if you can reduce your rent. I believe Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang will agree."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mazi turned to Liu Chun and said, "Yes, Mr. Liu."

Although Zhang Mazi was smiling at this time, she seemed to have a murderous aura, which scared Old Man Liu, but he said with a smile on his face: "What County Ma said."

"Mr. Liu is open and bright."

Zhang Mazi bowed and said.

Liu Chun was full of anger, but he had a smile on his face: "County Ma, domineering."

The two walked towards the hotel together.

Lin Zhendong didn't go up first. He walked to the cheering people and said, "Mr. Liu just said that your rent will be reduced by three months. You can send this news."

Zhang Xuan: "?????"

It is clearly stated that it is a part of the rent reduction.

However, at this time, Zhang Xuan had no time to explain, because some people had already happily reported the news.

"Damn it, unruly."

Zhang Xuan cursed in his heart, but the smile on his face he looked at Lin Zhendong was even more intense: "Sixth Master, please come upstairs."

"Shopkeeper Zhang, since the Liu family has already reduced the rent, I think your Zhang family will also reduce the rent. If you have the best, you will have more help, but if you have lost your way, you will have fewer help. Your Zhang family has made a lot of money, so you should give some money appropriately."

Lin Zhendong said to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan sneered in his heart, why should those poor guys help them reduce rent?

What's more, the Zhang family would have a good time to let these poor people have food.

These poor people should be grateful.

upstairs.

The two major families in the south of the city, Liu Chun, the head of the Liu family, and Zhang Mao, the head of the Zhang family, were three of them at the dinner table. At the same time, a woman playing the pipa sang a small song.

"County Ma, this glass of wine toast you, you have brought hope to Eicheng."

Zhang Mao picked up the wine glass and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. I came to Eye City to bring hope to everyone."

Zhang Mazi drank the wine without hesitation and said, "But Teacher Zhang came to me to see me not only to welcome me."

"That's right, County Ma, I want to ask, why did you come to Echeng??"

Zhang Mao asked with a smile.

"Why did you come? Can't you see this?"

Zhang Mazi laughed: "I, Ma Bond, I came to Eicheng for only two words this time."

"What two words??"

Zhang Mao asked in a hurry.

Zhang Mazi said: "Make money."
