Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 576 Hu Zhao enters Hanzhong

The news that Marquis Ming was about to build a mansion and the outskirts of Nanzheng City quickly spread throughout Nanzheng City overnight.

"Your Majesty wants to build a mansion outside the city?"

"why is that?"

"There are so many places in the city, wouldn't it be good to build a mansion in the city?"

"Why does he want to build a mansion outside the city!"

"Could it be that he doesn't trust us Nanzheng people at all!"

"Not necessarily, maybe the prince doesn't want to disturb the people at all. After all, to build a Minghou mansion, the project must be huge, and it will definitely disturb the people if it is moved. How inconvenient it is!"

"Hey, Mu Jing is actually outside Jianfu City, let us breathe a sigh of relief!"

"He is too confident. Without the protection of Nanzheng City, isn't he afraid that his Minghou Mansion will become a ruin in the future?"

"He is self-confident, but he is so confident. The Mu Jun is so elite, how can he be afraid of mere lunatics."

"..."

Rumors abounded, some people were puzzled, others breathed a sigh of relief, and some even worried about Mujing's hidden thoughts. All in all, the news that the Minghou Mansion was about to be established began to ferment in Nanzheng City.

......................................................

Tang family.

"Bo Xu!" Upon hearing the news, Mr. Tang immediately summoned the Patriarch of the Tang Family, and told the Patriarch of the Tang Family, "You personally go and send a hundred gold to the Minghou Mansion for the purpose of building the mansion, and express the Tang Family's wishes! "

"Father, why should we give him money?"

Tang Ying, who has served as the magistrate of Nanzheng County, has enjoyed a lot of glory these few days. After all, among the children of the family, there are very few county magistrates in a prefecture. Hearing his father's order suddenly, he was a little confused.

The Tang family is an aristocratic family. The aristocratic family handed down poems and books, and based on farming and reading as the standard. They can only rely on farm rent to harvest and maintain the family's property. However, the family has a big business. There are hundreds of people in the Tang family. They may have a lot of food. , but the money is not much, a hundred gold is not too much, but it can be regarded as a huge amount of money.

So he was a little annoyed.

At least he thinks that the current Tang family is not under the banner of Mujing, so there is no need to make it so obvious.

"There is no reason, this is what we should give!"

Mr. Tang stood on his crutches, and said calmly: "It's not surprising that he suddenly wanted to build a mansion. After all, he is the Marquis of Ming, and he is a first-class lord. Since he is ready to establish a foothold in Hanzhong, build a mansion and open a company, that's normal." However, it is indeed a surprise, an unexpected surprise for all of us in Hanzhong that he built his mansion outside the city!"

"unexpected surprise?"

Tang Ying frowned.

"I didn't expect that a young man like him would be so confident. Building outside the city means that he is not afraid of wind and rain at all. He doesn't need the city walls of Nanzheng to protect him from the wind and rain. At the same time, he is also giving us peace of mind. After all He wiped out several generations of country gentry, and killed many Nanzheng clans whose blood flowed into rivers. There is a lot of fear in the city. Every day he is in the city, we dare not go to bed in peace. This is not about hostility, but deterrence. And he chose to build a mansion outside the city to make us feel at ease. Since he has released goodwill, some things will come and go again. There is bound to be a shortage of food and grass, and building a government requires huge financial support, since we have surrendered, how can we not support it!" Mr. Tang said in a deep tone, and explained the reasons for the cause and effect to Tang Ying.

"Father is wise!"

Although Tang Ying didn't have a good view of the overall situation, she was still very active in her thinking. After understanding what Mr. Tang said, she surrendered and took the lead.

"Bo Xu, you are talented and educated. It is not surprising that you are firmly established as a parent official in a county, but these days, you have enlisted many children from aristocratic families to enter the county government as a county magistrate, but it is a bit too much. Although the county government said A lot of waste is waiting to be done, but there are some bottom lines that cannot be crossed!" Mr. Tang was heartbroken for this family, and he said quietly: "You have to stop when enough is enough!"

"But they and our Tang family are advancing and retreating together. Now that I am lucky enough to be an official, how can I not take care of one or two!"

Tang Ying also knew that he had gone a little too far in this matter, but he also had difficulties, so he said in a rather embarrassing manner.

Once the emperor and a courtier, since he became the magistrate of Nanzheng County, he naturally had to install his own people to control the county government, otherwise how could he be worthy of the power in his hands.

"Some things, you have to figure it out yourself!"

Mr. Tang didn't say much, all the children of the family did this, and he didn't want to correct anything, but Nanzheng was not any other place, how could Mujing allow his place to settle down to be controlled by them: "I'm just reminding you, Who are you serving now!"

"My son is terrified!"

Hearing this, Tang Ying suddenly realized that what he did had nothing to do with ordinary times. After all, everyone did what he did, and he thought it was appropriate. But now the situation is different. He trembled all over, and the stern face appeared in his mind .

That young man who seems to be only seventeen years old this year is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If he is really angered, I am afraid that the Zheng family yesterday will be the end of the Tang family today.

"I'm going to personally present one hundred gold to Master Minghou!"

Tang Ying went to the accountant to ask for a hundred gold, loaded the gold cakes into the car, and then went straight to Minghou's mansion in the city.

....................................

"What, the Tang family actually sent a hundred gold?" Mujing was dealing with government affairs, and he had already explained the matter. The rest is how the people below will do it. What he has to do is to gather funds, and he is worrying about this matter. Someone delivered it to the door.

"My lord, I've already kissed it, and it's indeed a hundred gold!"

Huo Yu cupped his hands and said, "And it's already in storage!"

"This is a good thing!" A flash of inspiration flashed through Mu Jing's mind: "I'm worrying about how to raise funds to build a mansion!"

Now that he is in charge of the nine counties of Hanzhong, with the power in his hands, building a mansion is naturally not a big problem, but this is all seen from the bright side. Since he attacked Hanzhong, he has fought repeatedly, and the people in Hanzhong are poor, and he himself has consumed it. Seven seven eight eight.

He really can't get this money out now.

He is thinking about how to raise funds, which is his forte. He was a businessman in his previous life, a genius businessman. With his ability and his current influence in Hanzhong, he wants some merchants to help him. It is difficult, but there is no benefit, and it is more or less damaging his reputation in the hearts of merchants, which seems a bit outweighed.

Now that the Tang family came to his door, it was a good opportunity for him.

"Zhongheng, spread this news, and spread it as much as it is lively!" Mu Jing thought for a while, and said: "Let the whole of Nanzheng know, the whole of Hanzhong really knows!"

"understand!"

When Huo Yu heard this, his eyes lit up, he nodded and left.

After the news was deliberately spread, it quickly resounded throughout Nanzheng County, and caused a lot of turmoil.

"It seems that the Tang family is determined to follow this Dragon Herding Picture!"

"Is Mr. Tang blind?"

"What shall we do now?"

"The Tang family has already donated, should we just do nothing about it?"

"Let's express something more or less!"

"It's a good thing that the Mulongtu opened outside the city, so I have to support it anyway!"

"..."

The big families in the city wanted to move one after another.

......................................................

three days later.

"My lord, we got 300 gold and another [-] million yuan. It can be said that we have made a lot of money!" Huo Yu showed off in front of Mujing excitedly.

In the past few days, after the Tang family made the first donation, there was a wave of donations spontaneously triggered in Nanzheng City.

You say that these people are just for opportunism, or that those who know the current affairs are heroes, in a word, although Minghou Mujing's reputation in Hanzhong is like a wolf, tiger and leopard, it does not attract people's respect, but it is awe-inspiring.

Everyone turns pale when they talk about the tiger, but they are afraid of the prestige of the tiger.

Now, since on the one hand, it is to ease the conflict with Mu Jing, on the other hand, it is also hoped that after the mansion is built, Mu Jing will live out of the city, so don't let them be on guard all the time.

So a very generous one.

After a few days, Mujing had already collected at least half of the funds, and the remaining half was easy to deal with.

This undoubtedly solved a very big problem for him.

"Hanzhong is barren, so to speak, it's the common people. These great families have been passed down from generation to generation. We don't know how much money they have. This time, it's their dedication!" The corner of Mu Jing's mouth curled up into a comfortable smile .

This matter can't be viewed one-sidedly as raising funds, but also the meaning behind it.

This is a wealthy family representing Mujing and Hanzhong, a large country gentry, and it is about to usher in a honeymoon period.

"My lord, Mr. Yue has already found the location to build the mansion!"

At this time, Yiji came to report.

"Prepare the horse, I'm going out of the city!" Mu Jing was overjoyed when he heard this.

Yue Zhu had chosen a place before, and all the peasants started recruiting, ready to start construction, but suddenly he denied it, thinking that the place was not suitable, Mujing naturally trusted what he said, so he gave him a few more days to let him Continue to investigate.

Over the past few days, Yue Zhu traveled all over the plain, looking for several directions, but in the end he was not satisfied, but now he is satisfied, which makes Mu Jing strange.

After going out of the city, less than eight miles to the southeast, I saw Yue Zhu. Yue Zhu was standing at the foot of a mountain peak, confidently observing the surrounding terrain.

"Little old man pays homage to the lord!"

Seeing Mu Jing coming, he hastily saluted.

"Old man, I told you, you don't need to salute when you see me, you are an elder after all, Jing can't bear the courtesy of an elder!" Mu Jing pressed his hands and said with a smile.

Then he had deliberately made himself kind in front of the people, but the riot that night, the killing before the county government, and the cruel killing of the family Zixi at the entrance of the market had already been deeply ingrained.

"Your Majesty, this is the most suitable place to build a mansion!"

Yue Zhu changed the subject, and he pointed to the surrounding area, which is a small area with plains and hills.

"Do you rely on mountains or water?" Mu Jing wondered, "Is this place better than the place you chose before?"

"Your Majesty, I have thought about it. The mansion is built here, and the mansion is surrounded by mountains. The mountain has a back mountain. This can open up the activity area of ​​the mansion, and it does not occupy the ground on the plain. In addition, it is backed by the mountain. The mountain can be used, and the water is a place here. Ferry, if the Minghou Mansion is built here, the ferry must be prosperous, and the surrounding areas will still be usable, so this old man thinks that this place is the most suitable!"

Yue Zhu said.

"well said!"

Mujing clapped his hands, the old man really summed up some of the things he thought, this is the vision of an architect.

Mu Jing agreed.

The civilian husband started construction, and during the period, Mu Jing held a groundbreaking ceremony in person, inviting many people to witness the groundbreaking of Minghou Mansion.

In the next few days, the peasants began to repair the foundation. Yiji recruited nearly [-] peasants to build this Minghou Mansion. He personally supervised it, and some apprentices of the old man Yue Zhu were also guiding. The progress of the project was very fast and it was in full swing. .

The old man Yue Zhu sent a few drawings and made them. This old man is worthy of being an expert. The blueprints look good, but he is a little behind with Mu Jing's vision. He has a vision for the future. I have seen it before, although he is not a brick maker in this field, but he can describe that kind of building, he personally went to battle, gave opinions, and argued with the old man Yue Zhu.

..............................

half a month later.

early summer.

The scorching summer atmosphere has begun to envelope Nanzheng.

Following the imperial court's imperial decree, which was delivered to the four directions of Hanzhong, and then no soldiers and horses marched northward on the border of Yizhou, Hanzhong began to become more and more stable, and the people gradually began to accept the rule of Minghou Mujing.

And outside Nanzheng City, on the plain a few miles to the southeast, naked young men are working in full swing. The boulders are carried in after being knocked, and the main poles are transported one by one by two people. Come.

"This old man is a stubborn old man!"

The construction of the Minghou Mansion is also progressing well. Mu Jing stood beside him, looking at the mansion that had not yet been completed, then squinted at the red-faced Yue Zhu, and patted his forehead helplessly.

His consciousness was ahead of his time, including architectural knowledge. When discussing with old man Yue, he accidentally mentioned a lot of modern knowledge, which stunned old man Yue.

But old man Yue is a Mohist student with real materials, and Mujing's thoughts seem to have opened up his Mohist thinking. Isn't it because of the design of a roof, he quarreled with Mujing, and completely killed Mujing without blinking an eye The image is forgotten.

"Lord!"

A fast horse came from the city and came in front of Mujing. The man on the horse jumped off and knelt down to report: "One hour ago, Hu Changshi, the 42 officials of the Minghou Mansion, and his wife and his party have already Go to town!"

"Hu Zhao is here?"

Mu Jing's eyes lit up, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally they are here.

He and Xi Zhicai really can't enjoy the things in Hanzhong. It's not that there are no people in Hanzhong. There are also many great Confucian scholars in Hanzhong, and there are also many scholars, and even have management talents, but there are no talents who can make them feel at ease.

Xi Zhicai can command the army.

Governance is almost there.

Under the banner of the Mu family, if he is able to hold great power, I am afraid that there will only be Hu Zhao and Hu Kongming.
