Please ask me to be the emperor

"I don't agree!" Zeng's face turned red with anger.

Although Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Zhu did not say anything, seeing that they were standing close to Mrs. Zeng, they also expressed their support for her.

It turned out that after Zhang Shun returned to Nanyang and had a warm relationship with the three of them for a while, he ignored the fatigue of the carriage and called Niu Jinxing, Xiao Qinhu, Gao Guiying and others to discuss the previous "rewards".

This matter originally started because of Xiao Qinhu, so he naturally still held the idea of ​​"repenting of his promise".

According to his opinion, it is appropriate to reward the soldiers generously, and there is no need to spend so much.

Xiao Qinhu was used to living a hard life in the mountains, and he was reluctant to part with this wealth.

Like a small businessman, he calculated for Zhang Shun: "The princes' palaces confiscated a total of 1,320,000 taels of gold and silver, 17,000 hectares of fertile land, and the houses, calligraphy, paintings, antiques, etc. are of incalculable value."

"If we use this to raise an army, it will be no more than 50,000 people. How can we treat others lightly?"

"This matter is my fault alone. I am responsible for the work alone. I don't bother my lord! If you are unwilling to give the order, I will apologize to the soldiers."

"Hey, hey, General Xiao, why are you so excited?" Niu Jinxing is quite knowledgeable in the art of war, but his conduct is no different from that of a sycophant.

Since Zhang Shun advocated the distribution of land and property, no matter what he thought in his heart, he would support his lord with practical actions.

He advised: "People cannot stand without faith. King Shun's behavior is just a plan to win over the hearts of Nanyang. If the hearts of the people are convinced, why worry about the instability of the world?"

In fact, this was Niu Jinxing's forced explanation. Although there are great righteousness and popular rhetoric in this era, it is always a bit false.

After all, no matter how good your reputation is, you can't eat it as a meal. Under the premise that the rebels are facing serious military threats, it is only right to invest all resources in real military affairs.

Niu Jinxing is not like Zhang Shenyan or Lu Weiqi, who is somewhat ideal and can say such things.

He is a pragmatist himself, how could he think so far-reaching? This is not what his lord insists on, he has to find some excuses to cater to him.

But when he said this, Zhang Shun suddenly became enlightened.

It's okay to make decisions by tapping your forehead, but choosing the wrong strategy can cost lives.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shan made up his mind and said: "Although wealth and land are valuable, they are not as valuable as the human heart. Words must be true and actions must bear fruit. This is the right way to take the world."

"In the past, Shang Yang's city gates were built with wood, which won the trust of the world, and he became stronger through reforms."

"Now that we have set our sights on the world, how can we see small gains and forget the great righteousness?"

"I have three strategies to manage Nanyang. Please help me check them out."

"One said: Conquer the city and capture the territory. Now that Huguang Governor Tang Hui and Henan Governor Fu Zonglong have been defeated, Henan has no master. We will send a large army to control the two prefectures and eleven counties under Nanyang."

"Second: Recruit troops and horses. Nanyang is mountainous, and in Tang, Deng and other places, the 'Mao Gourd' is no less than that of Lushi and Song counties. We can take this opportunity to recruit several battalions of troops to prepare for the imperial army."

"Third: Divide the farmland to bring peace to the people. We have confiscated more than 17,000 hectares of farmland owned by the Tang Dynasty princes. If each household is allocated 50 acres of farmland, it will be enough for 34,000 households."

"Nanyang Prefecture governs two states and eleven counties, with only 30,000 to 40,000 households. Excluding the rich and gentry, there are enough for the common people."

"I would like to give priority to the poor and the families of the applicants. Depending on the number of people, they will be divided into twenty to fifty acres, so as to share the wealth of the world. So that the poor will have something to rely on and the old will have something to support. What do you think?"

Now that you have finished speaking, what do you think we think?

Xiao Qinhu responded helplessly: "In that case, Qinhu just accepts the order."

"There is just a difficult matter, and I need to ask my lord for instructions in advance. How to deal with the farmland and property of the Tang Palace and the farmland and property of the Xincheng Palace?"

Zhang Shun was puzzled when he heard this, and responded casually: "Since all the princes' palaces act like this, what's the difference between the two? Just follow the rules."

"By the way, although we are hostile to the royal family, we must not force them too much. We should return some land and property for daily food and clothing and for worshiping our ancestors."

"This..." Xiao Qinhu and Niu Jinxing were silent for a while, and could only praise, "King Shun is benevolent and righteous!"

Since the two sides are at odds with each other, they should eliminate the root cause. How can you expect others to endure humiliation?

It's just that Zhang Shun, as a modern person in his previous life, was used to being kind. On the one hand, he could not accept such a killing trip, and on the other hand, he also wanted to leave a way out for his opponent.

The art of war says: surround three towers and one. As a feudal society, the landlords and gentry cannot be eliminated without a new class to replace them. Therefore, leaving a way out for the other party will greatly reduce the intensity of the conflict between the two parties and facilitate future work.

But no one else had expressed their opinions yet, and Zeng and others who were hiding behind and eavesdropping couldn't sit still, so that was the beginning of the scene.

"Well, why do you object?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but be confused. Does this have anything to do with you?

Zeng Yurou didn't think so. She thought that she was originally from the Tang Palace, but now she had followed Zhang Shun, and all the land, houses, and belongings of the Tang Palace could be regarded as her dowry.

It's up to you to send someone to take care of it. How can you let Zhang Shun "give" it to others for no reason?

The Huang family and the Zhu family were also concerned about their own land, houses and property in Prince Chong's Mansion, so they naturally held the same position as her. It's just that the two of them were not as courageous as Zeng, so they didn't dare to confront Zhang Shun in person.

Zhang Shunzheng was in high spirits, but when Mr. Zeng made such a fuss on the spot, his face suddenly became dull.

Niu Jinxing and Xiao Qinhu immediately looked at their noses and hearts, pretending they didn't see anything, but the corners of their mouths were raised as if there was nothing there.

Gao Guiying looked at Zhang Shun thoughtfully without saying a word.

Good guys, co-authors, you all see my joke, right?

"If anything happens, let's go to the back room and talk. I'm busy with business!" Zhang Shun could only console him.

"Why is this not a business matter?" Zeng Yurou didn't want to be fooled by him. If the two of them stayed together in private and he coaxed her a few words and then touched her, how could she withstand it?

Zhang Shun saw that the delaying strategy was not going to work, so he quickly winked at Huang and Zhu and asked them to persuade her to go back. It turned out that these two people were a little bit jealous, and Quan pretended not to see it.

Only then did Zhang Shun realize the power of Zeng's "virtuousness". No wonder she was able to dote on the Queen of Tang's harem alone. She was really capable.

He couldn't help but his face darkened, and he scolded in a cold voice: "Do you think of yourself as the mistress of Prince Tang's Mansion, or the mistress of Prince Shun's Mansion?"

Zeng Yurou was stunned when she heard this, and a chill suddenly filled her heart.

Don't look back at Zhang Shun's harmonious and good-natured appearance in the past. After all, he was a character who walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. How could he be coerced by her? Now that the strategy of managing Nanyang has been decided, there must be no delay.

King Shun Zhang Shun is not King Zhu Yujian of Tang Dynasty, so of course he cannot be restricted by her!

With a "pop", Mrs. Zeng quickly knelt down, holding back her tears and begging for mercy: "King Shun, please calm down, it's my concubine who is greedy for property and dare not think of anyone else!"

Just kidding, whether she is the "mistress of Prince Tang's Mansion" or the "mistress of Prince Shun's Mansion", Zeng Yurou cannot afford it now!
