Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1126 It’s too late to regret

The whole of Youzhou is busy, not only Jixian County, which is the center of power, but also other counties in Daijun County, especially Daijun County, where Chen Zhi started, is even more excited.

For the officials of Daijun, the current situation can't be described even by parting the clouds and seeing the blue sky. It can be called the two heavens of ice and fire. The original worry quickly turned into ecstasy. The interval before and after, even Less than half a month.

Now, those merchants who had fled in a hurry because of the news of Youzhou's Western Expedition have come back in a hurry, looking for a way to find a way for them to regain a place in Daijun. Unfortunately, the situation is completely different. .

"Hey, I went to the Li Fan Yamen today. After waiting for several hours, I didn't see a person in charge. What a bad luck!"

"Isn't that right, I also found a few officials in the yamen, and one of them is my relative, most of them are from Wenju, but none of them are willing to see me, this is really troublesome , I can’t afford to wait for those goods. After the season, how can I still sell them at a higher price? This will kill me!"

"Who says it's not the case? I'm not optimistic either. The companies that were better in the past are now avoiding talking about it. Some even took the initiative to report me, saying that I engaged in bribery. I'm really unjust. Fortunately, I'm on my behalf. The county officials are fair, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to see me now.”

In the tavern in Dai County, many businessmen were gathering together, huddled around, confiding their bitterness to each other, and there was a faint tendency to form a group.

The tavern here is quite famous in Dai County. It is one of the newly emerging industries in the past four years. It is said that the Tang family is behind it.

Nowadays, merchants and clan officials with some wealth will patronize this place, so it can be regarded as a convenient place to accumulate connections.

These merchants are currently in deep trouble. Many people even have financial problems, but they still come here because they like the environment here and can gather many people. They want to come here to try their luck.

However, it seems that the people they meet and are willing to come over to talk to are often "degraded people" in the same situation.

At the beginning, these businessmen were still a little disappointed, so they simply talked about their bad things. As they talked, more and more people gathered, and some shrewd people saw what they could take advantage of, so they gradually turned the conversation around. The tendency has developed towards gathering together and helping each other.

Slowly, more and more merchants understood the meaning, and they showed tacit smiles to each other.

Obviously, they plan to join forces and negotiate with the government.

Doing so is actually quite risky, but as long as the degree is controlled well, there is still room for improvement. The most important thing is that if only one party negotiates, the influence will be very limited, but if we go together, the products involved will be different. Similarly, some of them are related to people's livelihood, and the government must also consider it.

Of course, the more important thing is that when these people think of hugging together for warmth, they will inevitably feel a sense of security and the idea that the law should not be punished.

But as they were talking, there were several scholars gathered around them, which made it unpleasant to listen to.

"You merchants are all snobs and outsiders. During the Western Expedition, everyone in Youzhou was united and followed the general's wishes. Only you merchants had other ideas, and you were not the solemn ones. You ran away, just dragging them passively. Now that you see something is wrong, you immediately come back to join us. Do you still want the government to give you an explanation? If you ask me, if you drag these merchants out and behead them, almost none of them will be unjust. of!"

"Brother Zhang is right. Merchants will do anything for money. They have no idea of ​​the difference between Huayi and Huayi. As long as the Hu people give them money, they can sell anything. This Secondly, the government responded promptly and temporarily seized most of the goods. They were not meant to rob you. They would be released after the war. Otherwise, you might all sell Youzhou’s grain and grass to the Xiongnu in Bingzhou. !”

"Now you know how powerful you are? What have you been doing so long ago? You actually want to rely on the large number of people to let the government open up. I almost laughed out loud. How do you guys, who are like traffickers and lackeys, compare to the Huns? What about the Huns? Hundreds of thousands of troops, a state of land, countless money and food, and we are not enemies in a month. You guys want to force the Youzhou government to give in, so you should go back and sleep in peace. What is happening in your sleep? No?"……

Scholars seemed to hate merchants a lot, and they were very merciless when they opened their mouths. After a few words, those merchants lost their dignity.

In the end, they couldn't do it anymore, so they all got up, covered their faces and left.

However, even though they left, they would not miss such a good opportunity. Instead, they gathered together and found another tea shop to sit down and continue the previous topic.

But this time, it involves specific goals.

One of them suggested: "It's better to go find Captain Zhou."

As soon as he mentioned this name, everyone immediately knew what it meant.

"But Captain Zhou Ao?"

"Exactly!" The person who made this statement immediately analyzed, "Captain Zhou seems to be just a county official, but in fact he is very different from ordinary officials. He has a close relationship with the general. I heard that the envoy from Guanzhong came here before. , and it was only through his recommendation that I could meet the general, otherwise Guanzhong has changed hands now, where would there still be a place for two kings to stand together?"

Many merchants present actually know something about it, but most of them only have a partial understanding. Now listening to someone explain it, I can't help but feel excited.

But there was also a sober-minded person who reminded in a low voice: "But I'm afraid Captain Zhou won't see me when I come to the door."

"Exactly, other yamen are not willing to entertain us. Isn't Captain Zhou going to avoid suspicion this week?"

"Other yamen don't want to see us because they are afraid of being misunderstood by the general. But what is Captain Zhou's identity?" The man came up with another idea, "Captain Zhou is one of the general's own, how can he be misunderstood? And neither are we." We went to visit the captain at his house, but we met by chance. Do you know that the captain in Dai County has a hobby, which is to drink tea, listen to music, listen to books, or go to the theater to listen to operas!"

When he said this, everyone immediately understood.

"So, let's go and cheer for the actor."

The man added: "What a coincidence, today is the official day for the captain to listen to the play. Everyone, don't miss this opportunity! You know, the general has returned. After Daijun, we will have no chance. Turn over!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and the last person gritted his teeth and said: "Do it!"
