please make me king

Chapter 715
After some encouragement from Zhang Shun, Zhang Shenyan, Lu Weiqi, Song Xiance and Hong Niangzi couldn't help gearing up and preparing for a big fight.

Zhang Shun is also full of pride, he has the feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds and mists, and seeing the moon when the clouds are opened.

When the discussion was over, Zhang Shun and Hong Niangzi sent everyone away together.

There was nothing left and right, Zhang Shun saw that there was no one in front of him, so he couldn't help but reached out and touched the round belly of the red lady.

As he touched it, he asked, "How are you feeling recently? Official affairs are complicated, so don't overwork. You have to be careful about raising your baby, and call me as soon as possible if there is anything wrong!"

The red lady pushed away his mischievous big hand, and said with a smile: "You think of the two of us now? Waiting for your concern, we don't know how hungry we are!"

"You go about your business, don't hang out in the powder pile all day long, we are enough to take care of these trivial matters!"

The meeting hall was not far from the residence of Zhang Shun and Hong Niangzi, and the two walked back all the way talking and laughing.

Zhang Shun sent the red lady back to the room first, and then gave Jianer some instructions, and then Shi Shiran returned to the residence.

As a result, as soon as he entered the house, Gao Guiying told him: "You are back, Daddy? Just now Mr. Zhao came to look for you, and he left again when he saw that you were not here!"

This "Old Man Zhao" is none other than Zhao Yutou.

Although Zhao Yutou was one of the first veterans to join Zhang Shun, he was old and illiterate.Although he had some knowledge, he couldn't entrust him with ordinary things after all.

Zhang Shun was afraid that he would be tired, so he only arranged for him to take a spare time.

So these days, apart from playing the role of calming sea magic needle in emergencies such as Zhang Shun's injury and the city's rebellion, he just drinks tea and hangs out on weekdays, and doesn't take much part in government affairs.

Zhang Shun thanked him for his kindness in the past, and heard that he left.

Zhang Shun saw that the sky was still early, so he quickly called Wang Jinyi, and ordered: "Find some people, carry a green sedan chair, bring Mr. Zhao over, and invite him to have dinner together later!"

Wang Jinyi took the order to go, and after a while, he saw four big men carrying a small sedan chair, with seven or eight soldiers guarding the left and right, rushing over.

Arriving at the door of Zhang Shun's residence, Zhao Yutou came down quickly, and said to Zhang Shun a little excitedly: "Old Zhaotou, I have lived for more than [-] years, and this is the first time I have such a pomp, thanks to King Shun Hongfu."

"Haha, everyone has their own creations, how can we rely on me?" Of course Zhang Shun knew what the original history would be like without him.

These people were either unknown, or died helplessly, and they didn't even have the qualifications to be written in history books.

In a word, "a disordered person is inferior to a dog of peace", what good end can it have?

Fortunately, this matter was not done by Zhang Shun alone. If Zhao Yutou and others hadn't taken refuge in him, he might not have ended well.

Zhang Shun smiled modestly, and after making some concessions with Zhao Yutou, he decided to sit down with the host and guest, and then shouted loudly: "Gui Ying, go and cook some side dishes and warm a pot of old wine. Have a few drinks!"

Originally, except for Jian'er, the girls were all "noble people", and they didn't touch the spring water with their fingers, so they couldn't do these common things.

Fortunately, Gao Guiying is hardworking and capable, mending some clothes and cooking a few side dishes is easy.

Zhao Yutou said a few polite words, seeing Zhang Shun's insistence on this, he could only laugh and said: "Since this is the case, the old man will rely on his old man to sell his old man, and eat and drink at King Shun's place with a cheeky old face!"

After finishing the polite words, Zhao Yutou said seriously: "His Royal Highness King Shun, I have two suggestions to listen to King Shun when I come this time."

"Oh? Please tell me! Zhang is all ears." Zhang Shun knew that Zhao Yutou must be looking for something serious for him.

"Ahem..." Hearing that Zhang Shun was so formal, Zhao Yutou felt a little guilty.

After all, Zhang Shun is not what he used to be now, and he is no longer the old farmer.

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Yutou said: "One thing, this old man wants to suggest that King Shun be called king as soon as possible, so that he can be upright and humble!"

"As the saying goes: 'If the name is not right, the words will not go well, and if the words don't go well, nothing will happen'. At the beginning of the business, everyone was in the same boat, and there was no worry for a while."

"When there is a territory, people, taxes, and benefits, people's hearts will change, and they want more."

"If King Shun refused to give it to them, they would either take it themselves or seek refuge with others. Instead, they would resent each other and start a quarrel."

"Since this is the case, why didn't King Shun set up guidelines and set up rewards for his superiors and inferiors earlier, so as to make his subordinates feel at ease?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but gasp. Originally, he wanted to follow the example of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and wanted to follow the strategy of "building high walls, accumulating food widely, and becoming king slowly", so he didn't care much about fame and fortune.Listening to what Zhao Yutou said now, I feel that what he said made some sense.

He couldn't help asking strangely: "This is a big matter, let me think about it. It's just that Zhang Shenyan and Lu Weiqi are both old in government affairs, why didn't they mention this to me?"

Zhao Yutou couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "They are now people in Vanity Fair, so naturally they have to avoid suspicion!"

"Oh~" Zhang Shun suddenly realized.Among all the people, only Zhao Yutou was aloof, so he was able to mention this matter.

If others mentioned this matter to him, it would be suspected of begging for the salary of officials and nobles, so he needed to avoid it.

But then again, that Zhang Shenyan, Lu Weiqi and others were willing to rebel with him, apart from being forced to in the early stage, the more realistic thing is wealth.

The rich have goods, and the noble have official positions.What "conglongzhigong" and "founding fathers" are actually inseparable from these two items.

No matter how good the vision pie painting is, if you don’t have food and salary to serve you, don’t expect others to work for you.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun also understood in his heart why Hong Chengchou, Governor of the five provinces, was defeated at the beginning, and all the scholars in Henan Province immediately joined him.

Didn't they just see that the rebel army occupied this place, and they just needed officials to govern the place?

But Zhang Shun can be regarded as a character who was killed in the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and he has already seen it.

Everyone can have their own little calculations, but as long as they don't miss the business and touch the bottom line.

Zhang Shun nodded, indicating that he understood.Zhao Yutou is also a person who is well versed in human relationships and the world. Seeing that Zhang Shun has listened to it, enough is enough and he will stop talking further.

Instead, he changed his words and said with a smile: "The other is a trivial matter. If I have free time these two days, I would like to invite King Shun to visit outside the city!"

"A visit?"

"Yes, let's take a tour! If the ladies are free, you can go with me!" Zhao Yutou replied with no surprise.

Of course Zhang Shun knew that this "visit" would not be that simple. It was just a few days after the Lantern Festival on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the weather was warmer, the vegetation had just turned green, and there was nothing to see. What would you like to see when you went out?
However, since Zhao Yutou was trying to trick him, Zhang Shun wasn't asking any more questions. He would know what was going on tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun said with a smile: "In this case, I just have time tomorrow, so don't let me wait for it!"
