Staring at Zhang Zhao, Wang Zheng pondered for a while and said seriously: "In today's world, it can be said that the country is in chaos and the people are in ruins."
"I started an uprising in Zhao County, Qingzhou that day, and my fellow villagers responded in large numbers. Is it really because of my high moral character and high prestige?"
He looked around the audience and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Most people, including us, couldn't survive because of Cao Jun's deprivation of food and wages. If not, who would want to rebel? Some people really dislike longevity.
Aren’t you afraid of death?”
"It's just that if you rebel, you will die, if you don't rebel, you will die. Since the left and right are just ideas, it's better to be a dead ghost!"
"Therefore." Turning his attention to Zhang Zhao again, Wang Zheng said in a deep voice: "There is no need to hide things like harming the people and enriching ourselves with food. I have done it before, but it is really not what I want. The actual situation dictates
Forced, don’t do it!”
"So, Mr. Zhang, what I can say is that no matter today or tomorrow, from the bottom of my heart, you are not willing to do the things you are worried about."
Zhang Zhao understood that Wang Zheng did not give any actual guarantee.
After all, what he said was that he didn't want to do it, not that he couldn't do it or wouldn't do it.
But it's enough.
Especially considering that the other party first issued a general order not to disturb the people as soon as they broke through Pengcheng, Zhang Zhao also felt that what the other party said was quite credible.
It is rare to have the heart to care for the people.
After all, he also knew that if the army that Wang Zheng was based on began to run out of food, any talk of caring for the people would be empty talk.
"The general has such a heart, which is very righteous." Zhang Zhao nodded and said: "As for equipment, weapons, money, etc., the city is currently quite sufficient."
"General, you know that there are three mineral deposits around our city."
"There is an iron mine next to Wu County, a hundred miles southwest of here, and there is also a salt mine at the junction of Pengcheng and Xiapi. It is only a hundred miles away from Lu County. The most important thing is that the entrance to the southeast of Pengcheng
Next to the pond, there is a gold mine."
Let me go. Are there salt mines, gold mines, and iron mines?
When Wang Zheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mi Heng. When he saw him nodding in agreement, he felt happy in his heart.
Zhang Zhaodao: "In terms of money, I checked several warehouses in the city before I leave. There are currently two hundred gold ingots, one hundred boxes of copper and silver, and tens of thousands of five baht coins, which is much more than in previous years."
Wu Sheng on the side heard this and grinned: "There are so many. Could it be that he knew that the general was coming to Pengcheng, so he mined too many of these mines?"
"Ahem, that's not the case." Zhang Zhao glanced at him helplessly and explained: "Now that I have just resigned from the old year, I must have handed over the East China Sea this year before I had time to send it out, so..."
Then they met my army and attacked the city? So we got an advantage in the end?
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all laughed.
Alas...it's hard to get rid of the evil nature.
Seeing that these people were forgetful and showed no manners, Zhang Zhao was secretly disdainful. Finally seeing that Wang Zheng and Xu Fang still looked calm, he continued: "In addition, various local prominent families also presented thousands of taels of gold and silver to congratulate the general on his victory.
.”
Congratulate me on my victory?
Wang Zheng glanced at Zhang Zhao with great interest and thought to himself: Is this because he is afraid that I, a yellow turban thief, will raid the house and kill them all?
I really think too much. If I want money, can this little sweet thing satisfy me?
If I don't ask for money, what difference does it make if you give it to me or not?
However, the prominent families in Pengcheng are much better behaved than those in Kaiyang, which makes Wang Zheng slightly satisfied.
After looking at Zhang Zhao, Wang Zheng sighed secretly.
He is worthy of being a figure who will leave his name in history in the future. Not to mention his talent, his memory alone is far beyond that of ordinary people, right?
With so many documents and data, it was rare for him to remember all the figures clearly without looking through them.
Zhang Zhao continued to talk eloquently: "In addition, a total of 2,700 pieces of armor and weapons were seized. Apart from the damage, the remaining ones were intact, including more than 1,700 long weapons such as spears and swords, 800 short weapons such as swords, and clothing.
Two hundred pairs of armor and more than one hundred and thirty bows and crossbows."
"There are also 1,200 pieces of armor stored in the treasury, as well as many defensive equipment, five trebuchets, seven crossbows...etc."
Having said this, Zhang Zhao took a deep breath and concluded: "After all the seized objects have been inspected, they have now been put into storage in batches and are waiting for the general's disposal."
Xu Fang used to do these things, but Wang Zhengsi thought for a moment and looked at Mi Heng: "Sir, we are currently short of manpower, so you will be responsible for the time being."
"Here." Mi Heng replied quickly.
Pengcheng's seizure this time is indeed rich enough, but it is enough to know such things. Besides, Wang Zheng has repeatedly broken through the city for more than a year, and now he can barely be considered to have a big business.
He looked at Zhang Zhao and praised: "Sir, you are really talented. You can finish counting all these trivial matters in such a short time."
Zhang Zhao repeatedly said he didn't dare, but when Wang Zheng was silent and silent, he didn't ask any more questions, so he leaned back and sat back on the couch.
"Lord," Mi Heng said, "Now that we have descended to Pengcheng, our army now has enough food, grass, equipment, and weapons. We don't know how to plan the next step?"
“No matter how abundant you are, you can’t just sit back and let the mountain fall.”
After sitting for a long time, his body felt a little sore and numb. Wang Zheng gently stretched out his arms and looked at Mi Heng with his bones crackling: "What do you think, sir?"
At this time, he already had a rough plan for the next development in his mind, but he also wanted to hear Mi Heng's opinion to see if he could make up for it.
What You Heng was waiting for was Wang Zheng's words. He laughed long and said with piercing eyes: "From Heng's point of view, it can be said that there are three cardinal principles now."
"What three cardinal principles?" Wang Zheng asked.
"Providing support to the people, recruiting talents, and recruiting support, each of these has two goals."
"Appreciate further details."
"To appease the people, choose a reputable local to be in charge. There are two tasks below. One is to stabilize the order in the city, and to handle the communication between the army and the people, and the internal and external affairs of the army. After all, Pengcheng is a big city, and there are several military camps.
It can accommodate our soldiers, but after all, it has just been a fight and our army has won a great victory. The soldiers must be arrogant, and the people also have grudges. If there is no capable person to coordinate the two, there will be hidden dangers."
Wang Zheng nodded. The reason why the rebellion in his family happened so quickly that day was partly due to the fact that there were too many conflicts between the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and the Yanzhou soldiers. Over time, it was like a bag of dynamite that would explode at the first click.
The so-called lesson learned from the past is that even if the Heavenly Army did not disturb the people, some of the beheaded city defenders were familiar and close to them. Who knows how many people harbor resentment?
"Secondly, the so-called spring plowing and autumn harvest are now in the farming season. Pengcheng's fertile fields were deserted because of Cao Cao last year. Now that the city has been destroyed again, Heng believes that it is necessary to appease the people as soon as possible and resume farming."
"This is what it should be!"
After finally getting the base he dreamed of, Wang Zheng naturally didn't want to be a wandering bandit anymore.
However, if it is your own base, you cannot rob it, and you must have a fixed source of food and salary. If you don’t cultivate it, there will be no harvest, and if you don’t harvest, there will be no food. He nodded in agreement and handed over his hand: "In this case, thank you sir for your hard work for me.
How about being the general manager of Pengcheng temporarily?"
"Lord, Heng just said it." Mi Heng smiled and reminded: "You need local people who are famous and talented."
"Although Heng considers himself not a mediocre person, he is not from Pengcheng and has no reputation here."
Wang Zheng naturally knew who Mi Heng suggested, but...
Glancing at Zhang Zhao calmly, he naturally believed in Zhang Zhao's ability and reputation. The problem was...the opponent hadn't joined the team yet?
Wang Zheng was still a little hesitant about such an important position.
That’s all.
With his own army nearby, even if there is any abnormality, he can quickly suppress it, so he won't be able to cause any trouble.
The decision was made, Wang Zheng stood up, slapped the table, stood up from the couch, walked quickly to Zhang Zhao, stared at him, and suddenly bowed to the end: "Mr. Zhang, this Pengcheng State Prime Minister is none other than you.
I hope you will not refuse and condescend to help me."
"General, this..."
Seeing him making this great gift, Zhang Zhao quickly stood up with a panicked look on his face. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Zhang Rao doesn't dare...
As the saying goes, when you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something, but if you don't accept the courtesy, you will naturally attract resentment.
And Wang Zheng's resentment...
Not only could he not be able to bear it, but the Zhang family, and even the nearly 100,000 people in Pengcheng, probably couldn't bear it either, right?
Why....
He sighed secretly, his voice a little harsh: "Such a high position, Shoichi Jie Buyi... naturally can't get it, how can he not accept it?"
"good!"
Wang Zheng's face was full of joy. Seeing Zhang Zhao accepting the appointment smoothly, a big stone fell from his chest.
He was also afraid that the other party would imitate Xu Shu.
It's just that... after looking at the system interface, Wang Zheng was still a little dissatisfied.
I've traveled to the present, but this is the first time I've been so humble. Are you not touched at first?
