Start Summoning West Factory Flower

In the next few days, Zheng Ming stayed out of the gate and became a lady in the county government office.

Although he did not go out, the news of Shanhai County kept gathering in his ears.

Under the inquiries of the six West Factory guards, Zheng Ming's understanding of Shanhai County has deepened a lot.

There are geographical reasons for the poverty of Shanhai County, but most of the reasons are the three major families and pirates.

The three major families in Shanhai County have done all kinds of evil, bullying men and women, enslaving people, and occupying farmland.

The pirates on Fuhai Island not only wantonly kill people, but also threaten people to become pirates. Every year, hundreds of people are captured by them, and most of these people will be buried in the sea.

In addition, the pirates also cooperated with the three major families to suppress anyone who wanted to rebel against them.

In such a situation, the entire Shanhai County would have to succumb to their prostitution.

"Can the relationship between them divide?" Zheng Ming asked Yu Huatian.

Yu Huatian thought about it and said, "It's very difficult. They have cooperated for many years, and they are still married to each other. It is very difficult to separate them."

"However, we can use the power of the cottage. They are also oppressed by the three major families and should be willing to cooperate with us."

The cottages he mentioned were not bandit dens, but villages living in the mountains.

Shanhai County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are countless old forests in the deep mountains, among which there are many people from the countryside.

According to people in the West Factory, there are at least tens of thousands of people hidden in this deep mountain, and many of them were forced up the mountain by the three major families and pirates.

"How strong are these cottages?" Zheng Ming asked.

"The barbarians of the mountains live by hunting, and all of them are vicious people. If they can really be brought together, the three major families will be destroyed in an instant, but they are rebellious, and the slaves are afraid that when they come, they will not want to leave. "Yu Huatian said.

It is easy to ask God to send God to God, but he is worried that after the elimination of the three major families, these barbarians will become the scourge of Shanhai County.

Zheng Ming tapped on the table.

"It is the last word that one's own strength is strong."

Counting the days with his fingers, he has traveled to this world for more than 20 days, and in a few days it will be a full month, and he can be summoned again at that time.

If he summoned more than a dozen subordinates like last time, he might not have to be afraid of the three major families.

As for those pirates, there is nothing to worry about for the time being. After all, they are far away on Fuhai Island, so they probably won't come to Shanhai County for a while.

After thinking about this, Zheng Ming said: "Well, you will ask Lu Shou to send an invitation letter to Zhao's house later, inviting Zhao's head to come to the county office tomorrow, and say that this king wants to entertain him."

"What about the Song family and the Liu family?" Yu Huatian asked.

"Don't care about them, just invite the Zhao family. In addition, you can find a few cottages that have hatred against the three major families, and recruit them to join the king. As for the conditions, you can decide." Zheng Ming said helplessly.

He has almost nothing in his hand except for a name. He wants to recruit those cottages, but he doesn't know what to give, so he can only let Yu Huatian take care of it.

……

Zhao House.

In the splendid hall, Zhao Nansheng, the head of the Zhao family, sat on a chair, stroked his long beard, and pondered.

The housekeeper Zhao Gong and Zhao Yuesong, the eldest son of the Zhao family, stood beside him respectfully.

"Father, what do you think this county prince is thinking? I haven't come forward for so many days in Shanhai County. Why did you suddenly invite us today?" Zhao Yuesong asked with a puzzled face.

Zhao Nansheng narrowed his eyes and said, "It is estimated that we have figured out the situation in Shanhai County, and now we are ready to do it."

"Father means he wants to deal with our Zhao family?" Zhao Yuesong frowned.

Zhao Nansheng shook his head, "It shouldn't be. If he wants to deal with our Zhao family, there is absolutely no need to invite us. Maybe he wants to cooperate with us."

"But he didn't agree to the conditions we released before." Zhao Yuesong said.

"Hehe." Zhao Nansheng smiled disdainfully, and said, "3000 taels a year! You are begging for food as a county prince, can you be satisfied with such a small amount of money?"

"He definitely wants more."

"It's just a down-and-out prince, I want more, and I'm not afraid of dying!" Zhao Yuesong said dissatisfied.

Zhao Nansheng stretched his body and said, "No matter how downhearted he is, he is still a prince, and we don't dare to do anything to him. You go and contact the Song and Liu families and ask them to accompany me to the banquet. I want to see this little prince. What tricks are you going to play?"

Zhao Song Liu had already reached an agreement on their attitude towards Zheng Ming. They didn't want to kill Zheng Ming. After all, killing a prince was not a trivial matter.

Neither the royal family nor the court would allow the death of a prince to be ambiguous.

If Zheng Ming really died, all three of their families would be buried with him.

Don't look at the fact that the three of them are emperors in Shanhai County, but outside Shanhai County, they are not really powerful.

So he wanted to enshrine Zheng Ming in Shanhai County as a puppet that they could play with.

Of course, Zhao Nansheng also knew that Zheng Ming would not be willing to become a puppet, but he didn't care.

Or that saying that strength is the last word.

He knew very well that although Zheng Ming was a prince, he actually didn't have much power in his hands.

This is also the reason why they dare to treat Zheng Ming like this.

……

The night was getting darker.

Shanhai County became quiet.

Zhao Nansheng came to the county office together with Song Zhaoyuan, the head of the Song family, and Liu Chong, the head of the Liu family.

Zheng Ming stood in the lobby of the front yard with his hands behind his back, and greeted them with a smile.

"Meet the prince." When the three saw him, they hurriedly bowed to pay homage.

With a gentle smile on his face, Zheng Ming said, "The three are exempted from the ceremony. This king heard the names of the three patriarchs when he first came to Shanhai County. I invited the three to come here today because I wanted to get close to the three patriarchs."

"The three patriarchs, please take a seat inside."

The three of Zhao Nansheng looked at each other and followed him into the lobby.

The wine and food have been arranged in the hall for a long time. It is not rich, but it is exquisite.

The host and guests were seated, and Zhao Nansheng took out a gift list and handed it to Zheng Ming.

"The county prince has sealed Shanhai County, which is a blessing for Shanhai County. The three of us have prepared a gift for the county prince, and we also ask the county prince to laugh at it."

Zheng Ming took the gift list with a smile and said, "Then I will thank the three of you for your kindness."

3000 taels of silver, [-] mu of cultivated land, and some other antiques and jewelry.

Gee.

This thing is like sending this king away!

Zheng Ming sneered in his heart.

Shanhai County is also a county. As long as the three major families are removed, tax revenue is definitely not a minority.

It is close to the mountains and the sea, can develop mountain forests, and can trade with foreign countries. Even if Shanhai County is not comparable to those prosperous prefectures and counties, it will not be much worse.

These few things with broken conscience actually want to buy Zheng Ming with such a little thing, it's just wishful thinking.

Chapter 7 Yunshanzhai, domineering Yuhuatian

"The intentions of the three are too heavy, and this king is a little embarrassed." Zheng Ming handed the gift list to Xiao Fuzi next to him and smiled.

Xiao Fuzi glanced at the gift list, and immediately smiled, and slowly retreated towards the back hall.

He is going to receive gifts.

"A little little thing is not a respect, and I hope the prince of the county will not dislike it." Liu Chong said.

Zheng Ming smiled and said: "Naturally, I won't dislike it. Before coming here, this king has been to the north side of the city, and the prefect has also mentioned to this king, saying that the three masters are good people, and let this king come to Shanhai County more often. Being close and cordial with the three masters."

These words are simply bullshit. He went to the north side of the city, but let alone the prefect, he didn't even enter the gate of the government.

After experiencing the cold reception in the previous few Fucheng, he was too lazy to stick his cold ass, so he only rested in the Fucheng for one night and set off.

As for what he said, it was entirely to dispel the concerns of the three of them.

The three major families occupy Shanhai County in such a way that it would be a lie to say that the northern government office did not know about it.

The only possibility is that the Beishan government colluded with them and received benefits.

As he expected, when Zhao Nansheng and the three heard the prefect, the smiles on their faces became even better.

They send a lot of money to the prefectural government every year, and the prefect takes the bulk of it.

"Haha, it turns out that the county prince knows the prefect. The old man also visited the prefect last year. Speaking of which, I haven't visited this year. After a while, the old man will visit again." Liu Zhaoyuan laughed.

He said that as if he was very close to the prefect.

But the reality is that the prefect may have forgotten his number.

The prefect is a fourth-rank official, and is definitely a high-ranking official in the local area. Even if he receives money, he will not pay attention to a country rich man, not to mention the situation in Shanhai County.

Zheng Ming smiled without saying a word.

I'll see how long you can pretend.

When Lao Tzu becomes stronger, he will be the first to destroy you and see if your prefect will help you.

Next, under Zheng Ming's flattery, the host and guests enjoyed themselves for a while, as if they were really close.

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Ming sent the three out of the county office with a smile on his face.

To think that a prince like him would be so flattering to the three rural rich men is enough to feel aggrieved.

But after suffocating, Zheng Ming kept these three old things in his heart.

Dare to be so arrogant in front of this king, just wait!

……

Located in the west of Shanhai County, Yunshan Village is the closest cottage to Shanhai County.

There are more than 500 mountain people in the village, all of whom were forced to go up the mountain by the three major families. It can be said that they have blood feuds with the three major families.

It is a pity that the three major families are too strong. Although they tried to avenge many times, they all failed in the end.He was even besieged by the three major families.

If it weren't for the complex terrain and rugged roads in the mountains and forests, they might have been killed by the three major families long ago.

In fact, there are many cottages like them around, and they have contacted other cottages and want to unite against the three major families.

It is a pity that the relationship between the cottages is complicated and there are many contradictions, and it is impossible to achieve a union.

Yao Haisheng, the owner of Yunshanzhai Village, is in his [-]s this year. When he was young, he used to be a scholar in Western Jingxi Province, but he was later sent to Shanhai County for murder.

After coming to Shanhai County, Yao Haisheng was called the son-in-law of the previous village owner by chance. After the previous village owner died, he became the new village owner of Yunshan Village.

Under his management, Yunshan Village has been growing continuously for more than 20 years, from less than 500 mountain residents to more than [-] today, more than doubling the number of people.

At this moment, Yao Haisheng is reading a book leisurely.

As a scholar, he has always been proud of this, but unfortunately, he was guilty and could not participate in the imperial examination.

"The owner of the village, a father-in-law came from outside and wanted to see the owner of the village," a stockade guard reported.

Yao Haisheng was stunned and said in surprise, "Father-in-law! What father-in-law."

"The unbearded father-in-law, with thin skin and tender flesh, is prettier than a woman," the guard said.

Yao Haisheng was even more surprised.

How can there be a father-in-law in Shanhai County!

"Please come in first."

After a little hesitation, he said.

The guard immediately retreated, and soon returned with Yuhuatian.

Yao Haisheng looked up and down Yuhuatian, the surprise in his heart not only did not subside, but became more.

"Who are you?" he asked.

Yu Huatian threw his brocade robe and sat next to Yao Haisheng, and said, "I am Yu Huatian, the director of the West Factory under the Prince of Shanhai County."

"Who is the Prince of Shanhai County?" Yao Haisheng looked at him and asked again.

"The current fifth prince, who was named Shanhai County King not long ago, has now been sealed in Shanhai County." Yu Huatian picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup at will.

Yao Haisheng squinted his eyes and understood instantly.
