Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Really.

Although Zhang Xiu is famous, it is because Zhang Xiu killed Ma Teng and Han Sui, and ran rampant in Liangzhou, and killed Song Jian.

Nowadays, he is known as "General Kamuiten".

But because this is Liangzhou, there is still a long way to go from Youfufeng. Limited to the region, Zhang Xiu's misdeeds in Huaili City have not yet been transmitted.

People don't know that Zhang Xiu once killed officials.

Although he was a little afraid of Zhang Xiu's shining tiger eyes, the county commander Zhou Yan still stiffened his head and replied: "So that General Zhang knows." Linwei City is small and the wasteland is limited, so I am afraid that it will not be able to settle so many people.

Zhang Xiu took a deep look at Zhou Yan, until the county magistrate was in a cold sweat, then he withdrew his eyes, nodded and said, "It's me who didn't think about it and made the county magistrate embarrassed."

"Don't dare. Zhou Yan thought that this matter was over, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, but her face showed a look of sincere fear.

"That being the case. Let's focus on expanding the city first. Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Please rest assured, I, Zhang Xiu, have always behaved in a proper manner. I went to the north this time and brought back a lot of gold. I will redeem the land needed for the expansion of the city with gold and silver.

"General Zhang is benevolent. Zhou Yan smiled when she heard this, and said with her fists clenched sincerely.

Zhang Xiu didn't have much to say to these insects, and after barely saying a few words, Zhang Xiu left the county government and went to live in a mansion in the city temporarily.

Now the official position has not yet been obtained, and he has no yamen in the city.

After coming to this temporary mansion, Zhang Xiu found Dian Wei and whispered a few words to Dian Wei. So he went to the study and sat down.

The soldiers began to take over the defense of this temporary mansion, and the Zou clan led the fox Mei Jin, Blue Pearl and servants to clean up the mansion.

Zhang Xiu sat for a long time, and then saw Dian Wei lead a man in his thirties, with a dark complexion, a thin body, and a servant's uniform.

"Please. After Dian Wei ushered the man in, he bowed his hand to Zhang Xiu, then turned around and walked out.

"General Zhang. The man was very confused in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off, and bowed to Zhang Xiu.

"Mr. Wang, please be seated. Zhang Xiu said with a pleasant face.

This man's surname is Wang Mingzhen. Among the fat, strong, oily officials, the body is thin and very protruding. When he saw the woman holding the child, he also showed sympathy.

Zhang Xiu observed the words and looks, and felt that this person might be a rare honest official in the county, and he was the head snake of the land, and he should know all aspects very well.

To rule a city, to rule a city, to rule a state, or even a country, the more such honest people, the better.

"Mr. Wang. Although I am a newcomer, I just said a word to the state and county order, and I think of it. The officials of this county are all insects, and they are not enough to make money. Only Mr. can conspire with great things. Zhang Xiu clenched his fists and arched his hand slightly.

Wang Zhen was suddenly shocked, or rather, he was struck by thunder, and for a while, he was scorched and tender.

He was born in this county, has been poor for generations, and his reading is ordinary. But he is honest and upright, and since he became a county official, he has also supported his family with a fortune and does not mix with messy things.

Unlike him, the county officials headed by the county commander Zhou Yan are all corrupt. It is precisely because these insects suck blood that the people in the city are hungry.

He was once full of enthusiasm and wanted to change the situation in Linwei City, but after repeatedly hitting the wall, he couldn't help but be discouraged.

Now Zhang Xiu actually said ...... so

After being shocked, Wang Zhen's first thought was not to be grateful, but to doubt Zhang Xiu's intentions.

"Thank you, General, for your appreciation. It's just that Wang Zhen is a small person, and he is not enough to be so praised by the general. Wang Zhen bent down deeply and saluted Zhang Xiu.

"Sir, don't be suspicious, everything I say is from the bottom of my heart. Of course, Zhang Xiu saw it, and then showed a look of indignation, and said: "Now the officials are dim. Above the temple, the rotten wood is the official, and between the palace and the majesty, the birds and beasts eat Lu, the wolf-hearted dogs, the rolling in the way, the slaves and the knee-laden people, have been in power. I, Zhang Xiu, am just a poor talent, and I can't sweep away this evil spirit. But since he was ordered to guard Liangzhou, he also wanted to make the people's livelihood safe and the city strong within the realm, so as to resist the traitors Ma Teng and Han Sui. And if you want to do this, you need to be meritocratous.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu faced Luoyang again and said: "My lord Dong Gong has already submitted a table to the imperial court and made me a county guard, the prime minister of the four counties.

"I think that Mr. is righteous and colorful, and he must be virtuous. Please also help me, sir.

Finally, Zhang Xiu looked at Wang Zhen sincerely and said.

Zhang Xiu's words were amazing, and his face was worried about the world. Between words, meaning is in color.

Wang Zhen only felt a conscience in his chest, and began to move, and his blood returned to boiling. And Zhang Xiu also said it.

Now he is seeking the position of county guard, and if he succeeds, he will be the king of a county and the prince. An absolute and justifiable top boss.

"Wang Zhen, I am willing to serve the general. Wang Zhen took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in his heart, but he was still red-faced, and bowed to Zhang Xiu.

"Sir, please get up. Zhang Xiu hurriedly got up from his seat and helped Wang Zhen up. After some moves, the two sides immediately got a lot closer.

Zhang Xiu immediately returned to his seat and began to inquire about Wang Zhen's affairs in the county.

Wang Zhen knows this well and tells it eloquently.

"General. The county has a population of more than 32,000 people. There are rich people with the surname Song Er, and there are only dozens of men with these two surnames. But there are sixty percent of the cultivated fields in this county. There were as many as 120,000 domestic slaves and tenants who took care of them. Usually, these two surnames are often lawless and insult the people. And Zhou Yan is to impose more taxes and miscellaneous taxes and exploit the people. There were many complaints among the people, so they often fled. Sneak to Hanzhong for refuge.

"When the general first arrived, and so many people followed, it was inevitable that a lot of land would be divided. These two surnames must refuse. The county ordered Zhou Yan to collude with them. Therefore, just now in the county office, he spoke out.

Wang Zhen straightened his chest and abdomen, and said with anger on his face.

"I see. Zhang Xiu nodded, and then said to Wang Zhen: "Okay." I have a plan in my heart about this matter, so I ask my husband to go back to the house and wait for good news. "

No. Although Wang Zhen was a little suspicious, Zhang Xiu used some means to solve these problems. But he couldn't help but ask, said yes, and turned to go down.

After Wang Zhen left, Zhang Xiu fell into deep thought. In fact, he also knows the general problem.

This is a problem that exists at the end of every dynasty. The land of the family was annexed, and the wealth flowed. Rise to fight small people, there is no place to stand.

The people have no choice, so they will join the family and become domestic slaves. Or he fled and went somewhere else, and became a black household.

Three Kingdoms Wei, Han and Wu.

When Shu Han fell, historical records record that the people were only 8.9 million people, but in fact, I don't know how many people were hidden by the big clans.

Now in Linwei City, these two surnames hold sixty percent of the cultivated land, and there are as many as 120,000 domestic slaves and tenants.

There is only one way to change the situation immediately.

Fight local tyrants and divide the land.

In this way, as long as he straightens out the civil affairs of the four county seats. With the superficial population and the hidden population, he may get 400,000 people.

Raising 35,000 soldiers is more than enough.

And Zhang Xiu's methods are also very simple. After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiu summoned Dian Wei outside the door, went over to his ear, and whispered a few words.

Dian Wei nodded lightly, clenched his fists and left.

There is no need to worry about this matter. Zhang Xiu was rampant in Liangzhou this time, and he was also quite tired, yawned, and became sleepy, so he went to sleep in the back house.

It's also a coincidence.

Zou took Jin and Blue Pearl to clean out Zhang Xiu's bedroom first, and Zhang Xiu could sleep when he went in.

..........

County office.

After Zhang Xiu left, most of the officials also left. But the two officials stayed and came to the study to talk with the county commander Zhou Yan.

Both were fat and strong, red-faced and fair-skinned. It is the representative of Wang Zhen's surname Qian and Song Er in officialdom.

One is called Qian Jun, and the other is Song Shan.

"Thank you for your righteous words. After the three of them came to the study together, the county ordered Zhou Yan to sit in the first place, and Qian Jun and Song Shan immediately bowed and thanked them.

"You're welcome. I have been a county magistrate in Linwei County for many years, and I have also been taken care of by you a lot. Zhou Yan shook her head, some images flashing in her mind.

He has four beautiful concubines in the back office, can afford to raise singers, and has a private house in the city. There are also 30 hectares (1,500 acres) of fertile land and a manor outside the city.

This was all made with the two people in front of him, he thought he was more righteous, and of course he had to help the two intercede at the critical moment.

Qian Jun and Song Shan glanced at each other, still thanked, and then sat down on the seats on both sides.

"Two. At first glance, that General Zhang is full of might. It is worthy of being a person who is rampant in Liangzhou and is known as "General Shenweitian". But after all, young. Just now he wanted the people to be in the county, but he was stopped by the county magistrate. I don't think it's a concern.

Qian Jun smiled slightly and talked about Zhang Xiu behind his back.

"What Brother Qian said is very true. Zhang Xiu is undoubtedly a brave general, but he has no means. Song Shan happily agreed when he heard this.

Zhou Yan also nodded, just now he looked at Zhang Xiu, it was really sweaty, cold sweat. The light in those eyes is simply a tiger's might.

But when he said a word, he stopped Zhang Xiu.

As these two said, Zhang Xiu is a brave general, but he has no means, and he is easy to fool.

"This is also a good thing, isn't it? If Zhang Xiu has the means and has a heavy army, I am afraid that our life will be difficult under high pressure. Now that he's so foolish, our lives will be easy.

Zhou Yan had a deep smile on his face and said happily.

"Yes. Song Shan was slightly stunned, and then he also slapped his hands and laughed.

"Hahahaha. Qian Jun couldn't stop laughing.

The total of the three of them, Zhang Xiu is not worried. After a while, Song Shan and Qian Jun strode away in a happy mood.

Then the dance, then the song, and everything is business as usual.
