Start Summoning West Factory Flower

Chapter 6 Banquet for the three masters
In the next few days, Zheng Ming stayed out of the gate and became a lady in the county government office.

Although he did not go out, the news of Shanhai County kept gathering in his ears.

Under the inquiries of the six West Factory guards, Zheng Ming's understanding of Shanhai County has deepened a lot.

There are geographical reasons for the poverty of Shanhai County, but most of the reasons are the three major families and pirates.

The three major families in Shanhai County have done all kinds of evil, bullying men and women, enslaving people, and occupying farmland.

The pirates on Fuhai Island not only wantonly kill people, but also threaten people to become pirates. Every year, hundreds of people are captured by them, and most of these people will be buried in the sea.

In addition, the pirates also cooperated with the three major families to suppress anyone who wanted to rebel against them.

In such a situation, the entire Shanhai County would have to succumb to their prostitution.

"Can the relationship between them divide?" Zheng Ming asked Yu Huatian.

Yu Huatian thought about it and said, "It's very difficult. They have cooperated for many years, and they are still married to each other. It is very difficult to separate them."

"However, we can use the power of the cottage. They are also oppressed by the three major families and should be willing to cooperate with us."

The cottages he mentioned were not bandit dens, but villages living in the mountains.

Shanhai County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are countless old forests in the deep mountains, among which there are many people from the countryside.

According to people in the West Factory, there are at least tens of thousands of people hidden in this deep mountain, and many of them were forced up the mountain by the three major families and pirates.

"How strong are these cottages?" Zheng Ming asked.

"The barbarians of the mountains live by hunting, and all of them are vicious people. If they can really be brought together, the three major families will be destroyed in an instant, but they are rebellious, and the slaves are afraid that when they come, they will not want to leave. "Yu Huatian said.

It is easy to ask God to send God to God, but he is worried that after the elimination of the three major families, these barbarians will become the scourge of Shanhai County.

Zheng Ming tapped on the table.

"It is the last word that one's own strength is strong."

Counting the days with his fingers, it has been more than 20 days since he traveled to this world, and a month will be over in a few days, and he can be summoned again at that time.

If he summoned more than a dozen subordinates like last time, he might not have to be afraid of the three major families.

As for those pirates, there is nothing to worry about for the time being. After all, they are far away on Fuhai Island, so they probably won't come to Shanhai County for a while.

After thinking about this, Zheng Ming said: "Well, you will ask Lu Shou to send an invitation letter to Zhao's house later, inviting Zhao's head to come to the county office tomorrow, and say that this king wants to entertain him."

"What about the Song family and the Liu family?" Yu Huatian asked.

"Don't care about them, just invite the Zhao family. In addition, you can find a few cottages that have hatred against the three major families, and recruit them to join the king. As for the conditions, you can decide." Zheng Ming said helplessly.

He has almost nothing in his hand except for a name. He wants to recruit those cottages, but he doesn't know what to give, so he can only let Yu Huatian take care of it.

……

Zhao House.

In the splendid hall, Zhao Nansheng, the head of the Zhao family, sat on a chair, stroked his long beard, and pondered.

The housekeeper Zhao Gong and Zhao Yuesong, the eldest son of the Zhao family, stood beside him respectfully.

"Father, what do you think this county prince is thinking? I haven't come forward for so many days in Shanhai County. Why did you suddenly invite us today?" Zhao Yuesong asked with a puzzled face.

Zhao Nansheng narrowed his eyes and said, "It is estimated that we have figured out the situation in Shanhai County, and now we are ready to do it."

"Father means he wants to deal with our Zhao family?" Zhao Yuesong frowned.

Zhao Nansheng shook his head, "It shouldn't be. If he wants to deal with our Zhao family, there is absolutely no need to invite us. Maybe he wants to cooperate with us."

"But he didn't agree to the conditions we released before." Zhao Yuesong said.

"Hehe." Zhao Nansheng smiled disdainfully, and said, "3000 taels a year! You are begging for food as a county prince, can you be satisfied with such a little money?"

"He definitely wants more."

"It's just a down-and-out prince, I want more, and I'm not afraid of dying!" Zhao Yuesong said dissatisfied.

Zhao Nansheng stretched his body and said, "No matter how downhearted he is, he is still a prince, and we don't dare to do anything to him. You go and contact the Song and Liu families and ask them to accompany me to the banquet. I want to see this little prince. What tricks are you going to play?"

Zhao Song Liu had already reached an agreement on their attitude towards Zheng Ming. They didn't want to kill Zheng Ming. After all, killing a prince was not a trivial matter.

Neither the royal family nor the court would allow the death of a prince to be ambiguous.

If Zheng Ming really died, all three of their families would be buried with him.

Don't look at the fact that the three of them are emperors in Shanhai County, but outside Shanhai County, they are not really powerful.

So he wanted to enshrine Zheng Ming in Shanhai County as a puppet that they could play with.

Of course, Zhao Nansheng also knew that Zheng Ming would not be willing to become a puppet, but he didn't care.

Or that saying that strength is the last word.

He knew very well that although Zheng Ming was a prince, he actually didn't have much power in his hands.

This is also the reason why they dare to treat Zheng Ming like this.

……

The night was getting darker.

Shanhai County became quiet.

Zhao Nansheng came to the county office together with Song Zhaoyuan, the head of the Song family, and Liu Chong, the head of the Liu family.

Zheng Ming stood in the lobby of the front yard with his hands behind his back, and greeted them with a smile.

"Meet the prince." When the three saw him, they hurriedly bowed to pay homage.

With a gentle smile on his face, Zheng Ming said, "The three are exempted from the ceremony. This king heard the names of the three patriarchs when he first came to Shanhai County. I invited the three to come here today because I wanted to get close to the three patriarchs."

"The three patriarchs, please take a seat inside."

The three of Zhao Nansheng looked at each other and followed him into the lobby.

The wine and food have been arranged in the hall for a long time. It is not rich, but it is exquisite.

The host and guests were seated, and Zhao Nansheng took out a gift list and handed it to Zheng Ming.

"The county prince has sealed Shanhai County, which is a blessing for Shanhai County. The three of us have prepared a gift for the county prince, and we also ask the county prince to laugh at it."

Zheng Ming took the gift list with a smile and said, "Then I will thank the three of you for your kindness."

3000 taels of silver, [-] mu of cultivated land, and some other antiques and jewelry.

Gee.

This thing is like sending this king away!

Zheng Ming sneered in his heart.

Shanhai County is also a county. As long as the three major families are removed, tax revenue is definitely not a minority.

It is close to the mountains and the sea, can develop mountain forests, and can trade with foreign countries. Even if Shanhai County is not comparable to those prosperous prefectures and counties, it will not be much worse.

These few things with broken conscience actually want to buy Zheng Ming with such a little thing, it's just wishful thinking.
