God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1201 New Alliance


Is it official or private?

Du He couldn't help being stunned by this answer.

Du He said: "Well, Master Xu, you have learned how to play tricks on me."

Xu Zhiyuan said respectfully: "Don't dare, the son-in-law misunderstood, you will understand after I finish speaking... A few days ago, I received letters from several friends one after another. These friends are the county magistrate of Xinfeng, Weinan County Magistrate, Zheng County Magistrate, Huayin County Magistrate, Lantian County Magistrate, and Xianyang County Magistrate all saw the benefits brought by the three-county alliance today, especially after the integration of Chang'an, Wannian, and Hu County With the implementation of the new tax policy, the business of the three counties is getting better and better, the taxation is increasing, and the law and order are getting better and better. Therefore, they also want to join the three-county alliance, but these friends of mine are not familiar with the son-in-law , they entrusted me as a lobbyist to discuss with the son-in-law."

Although they are both county magistrates, Xu Zhiyuan was extremely respectful towards Du He.

This matter is not difficult to understand.

They are also county magistrates under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, and most of the county magistrates are friends who play together.

Now that Xu Zhiyuan joined Du He and led Chang'an County to join the Three-County Alliance, not only the job is easier, but also the income has become higher. Many people are envious. After a little discussion, these people plan to join the Three-County Alliance together.

Du He was also surprised when he heard this.

The original three-county alliance was created by him unintentionally. The purpose was not for any political achievements, but to make himself, the Wannian county magistrate, sit up more easily.

Who knows, someone will take the initiative to defect.

However, he soon understood.

The county magistrates of Xianyang, Huayin, Lantian and other counties are by no means fools. These people have long seen the benefits of the alliance.

Du He thought for a while, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said: "This matter is not impossible. You can tell your friends that after three days, you can go to the Wannian County Government to have a detailed discussion. At that time, if you are willing to join the three-county alliance, Just sign the agreement."

Xu Zhiyuan was pleasantly surprised: "If so, I would like to thank the son-in-law."

Xu Zhiyuan left in a hurry.

When Xu Zhiyuan left, Du He raised the corners of his mouth and said to himself: "Didn't those guys in the court want me to be a small county magistrate? Then I will be the most powerful county magistrate in the world."

……

When Xu Zhiyuan returned to the Chang'an county government office, he immediately wrote letters one after another and asked his subordinates to send them to the counties.

After Xu Zhiyuan delivered the letter to his friends, he suddenly slapped his head.

He said to himself: "Now it seems that the son-in-law has agreed to be the leader of the author's new three-county alliance. Letting the son-in-law dormant in Wannian County cannot make meritorious service and cannot be promoted, but now it seems that if the son-in-law can unify the entire Jingzhao Mansion, unify the commercial taxation policy and public security, and benefit the rule of the court, this is a great achievement. When the son-in-law makes meritorious service and gets promoted, I will most likely be able to get a little bit of credit... Why don't I invite other counties in Jingzhao Prefecture to join the Three-County Alliance, it's such a good idea!"

Xu Zhiyuan was stunned by his own intelligence.

If Du He was present, he would definitely give Xu Zhiyuan a thumbs up.

Just do it!

Xu Zhiyuan immediately started to write.

The first letter was addressed to the county magistrate of Yulu County.

Xu Zhiyuan is a literati, and his letters are all literary.

In plain English, brother Wen Da, long time no see, I miss you very much, it has been two years since I last had a drink at Ping Kang Fang, brother, my life is very nourishing now, because I Joined the three-county alliance, and had a good leader, the county magistrate of Wannian, the son-in-law Du He. Du He is a rare genius in the ages. His invention of the new commercial taxation policy and the management of the city brigade are miracles, brother Ever since I joined the Three-County Alliance, I have had money, people, time, and everything. I even took the time to marry two concubines. I never dared to think about such a day... How about it? Listen to me I'll brag for you for a long time, if you are not tempted, if you are tempted, then hurry up and join the Three Counties Alliance, and we will be the lackeys of the son-in-law Du He together.

The second letter was addressed to Shiping County Magistrate...

The third letter was addressed to the magistrate of Fuping County...

Xu Zhiyuan was busy for five full hours, and wrote letters to nineteen of the 22 counties in Jingzhao Prefecture. Among them, there were his close friends and friends, and some he had never met.

But in order to help Du He make contributions, Xu Zhiyuan can't control many people anymore, so he can win one person.

……

Three days later.

Wannian County Government.

In the main hall, there is a crowd, very lively.

A total of twelve county magistrates gathered together.

These ten county magistrates include Du He, magistrate of Wannian County, Xu Zhiyuan, magistrate of Chang'an County, Wei Shuyu, magistrate of Huxian County, magistrate of Xinfeng County, magistrate of Weinan County, magistrate of Zheng County, magistrate of Huayin County, magistrate of Lantian County, and magistrate of Yuxian County. County magistrate, Shiping county magistrate, Wugong county magistrate, Shangyi county magistrate, twelve in total.

On the same day, Xu Zhiyuan wrote nineteen letters and invited nineteen county magistrates, but in the end only nine came. He was a little disappointed.

After everyone was seated, Du He ordered them to serve the best tea.

Then he said: "You are all busy people, so I won't be around the bush. I'll let Mr. Xu introduce you to the matter of the three-county alliance."

Xu Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately turned into a small fan of Du He, stood up, and began to talk nonsense, describing the benefits of joining the Three-County Alliance in a hype.

If this guy raises his arms, he will almost become a master of pyramid schemes.

Du He was a little surprised.

Is this guy here to make trouble?

However, from Xu Zhiyuan's face, he saw incomparable sincerity.

Du He rubbed his nose and thought, is this three-county alliance really so good?
After everyone listened, their blood boiled with excitement.

The county magistrate said: "My son-in-law, I am here today because I am determined to join the three-county alliance. Please give me a chance. If you have the conditions, please speak up."

Du He looked at the county magistrate of Yulu County, and asked curiously: "Master Zhu, I'm a little curious. Apart from the benefits Mr. Xu just mentioned, why did you choose to join the three-county alliance?"

Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhu smiled wryly and said: "Magistrate Du, to be honest, what Master Xu said just now is wonderful, but it's not enough for me to bring Yuu County to join the Three-County Alliance. The main reason is that the county is adjacent to Chang'an City and Huxian County. After the establishment of the three-county alliance, the new taxation system was implemented, and the Guancheng Brigade took over the security of Chang'an City and Huxian County. Many merchants who evaded taxes ran to the county. The county is doing business, and many local hooligans who were originally entrenched in the Chang'an area have fled to Yulu County, and there is no tax bureau or city management brigade in Yulu County, so they couldn't handle it for a while."

This is the most direct and urgent reason why magistrate Zhu chose to join the three-county alliance.

Du He was slightly taken aback.

He didn't expect that the three-county alliance he created would benefit Chang'an City and Hu County, but it would harm the neighboring counties.
