Three Kingdoms: God-level selection
Chapter 6
With Zou Zhi leading the way, the rest of the Zou family followed suit.
After each of them drank a cup, Su Yan's face soon turned red.
He's drunk!
Seeing this, the Zou family thought to themselves
"Magistrate Su, thank you for saving my daughter's life. I'll toast you again."
Zou Zhi raised his glass again and said:
""You're welcome, Mr. Zou."
Su Yan said with a smile, but his hand holding the glass began to tremble, and it was obvious that he was not drunk.
The Zou family laughed in their hearts, Su Yan was young after all, and he got drunk in just a few drinks. Was
Su Yan really drunk?
Actually not.
For him, it would take at least a few kilograms of wine to make him drunk.
The alcohol content of ancient wine is much lower than that of modern wine.
Moreover, Su Yan's physique is extraordinary now, and these wines will not make him drunk.
Everything was just pretended by him.
After three rounds of drinking, the original smile on Su Yan's face gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a sad look.
Seeing this, the Zou family was puzzled. They didn't understand why he suddenly changed his face?
Zou Zhi was very good at observing people's expressions. He asked:"Sir, why do you suddenly look sad?"
"well......"
Su Yan sighed, but said nothing. Instead, he drank another cup alone........
Zou Zhi was a little confused about what he meant.
He thought Su Yan's actions seemed a bit pretentious, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not right.
What could a young man who gets drunk after a few drinks hide?
Judging from his behavior, he did not seem like the kind of person with deep thoughts.
Unable to figure it out, Zou Zhi simply asked:"My lord, have you encountered any difficulties? Although Zou Zhi is stupid, I am willing to share your worries." He took the bait!
Su Yan smiled secretly in his heart, but pretended to be lost on the surface.
He sighed lightly and said,"I arrived in Zhuo County to take up my post yesterday, and found that the county government treasury was empty. Even the little remaining grain was distributed to the people."
"Now I am sitting here drinking wine and eating meat, but the people are still hungry and have no food to eat, and I have no way to"
"When I think of this, I feel uneasy!"
At this point, Su Yan drank another glass by himself. When
Zou Zhi heard this, he was immediately in awe and said quickly:"Your Excellency cares about the people, which really makes us admire you."
""Someone come here!"
Zou Zhi shouted, and the housekeeper came in immediately.
"Immediately order the people in the Zou family's shop to open a relief porridge shop in the east of the city to help the refugees."
Zou Zhi gave the order without hesitation, and it was quick and clear.
After the housekeeper left, Su Yan put away his sorrow and said gratefully:"This was originally my job, but now the Zou family has to spend money. I am ashamed."
""Your Excellency is too polite. This is all I should do."
Zou Zhi declined, but Su Yan's face was already full of smiles.
In fact, Su Yan didn't have to act.
With his status, Zou Zhi would definitely do it in order not to offend him if he ordered the Zou family to open a porridge shop to help the people.
But in this way, it is inevitable to offend the Zou family, which is not conducive to his future control of Zhuo County. The attitudes of these noble families towards him are still unknown. In order not to make enemies, Su Yan decided to do something against his will.
He had read a book on thick black studies in his previous life, which said that if you want to get ahead, you must have a thick skin!
Not only thick, but also black!
Thick so that people can't break it, and black so that people can't see through it.
This is the thick black study.
Su Yan didn't understand it very well, but he had to try to do it and slowly experience the essence of it.
He picked up the wine glass and said respectfully from a distance:"I thank the head of the Zou family on behalf of the people, please!"
Zou Zhi's face was radiant, and he picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.
Then, Su Yan changed the subject and said,"Master Zou, to be honest, I came here this time because I want to ask you for help with something."
"Oh? Sir, please speak."
"I would like to ask the Zou family to lend me 500 guards to clear out the bandits near Zhuo County."
Su Yan took a deep breath and said
""Huh?"
Zou Zhi was stunned. He didn't expect Su Yan to change his mind so quickly and come here all of a sudden.
He frowned and said,"Sir, don't the county government have soldiers? Why do you want to borrow soldiers from my Zou family?""
"Alas! Master Zou doesn't know this."
Su Yan sighed,"When I first arrived in Zhuo County, many of my subordinates did not obey me. Those officials did not listen to me at all, and I could not mobilize the army."
"I want to govern Zhuo County well, but I have no way to do it.
Su Yan sighed and shook his head.
"this......"
The Zou family members looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Zou Zhi reacted quickly, and he said,"Sir, seeing you are so troubled, I also want to help you, but my Zou family only has 500 guards. If you borrow them all now, what will my Zou family do?"
"So, Master Zou, are you willing to lend me soldiers?"
Su Yan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly,"Five hundred people won't work, but we can have fewer, how about four hundred?""
"Four hundred people are too many. I can only lend you three hundred at most."
Zou Zhi shook his head.
"Three hundred people."
Su Yan frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied.
He wanted to ask for more, but two choices appeared in front of him.
1. Choose to ask for three hundred people to defeat the bandits, reward: Phoenix Wing Gilded Boring; Master Level of Weapon Boring Technique!
2. Choose to continue to ask for guards, Zou Zhi's favorability -30, reward: 10,000 stones of grain!
Two choices were placed in front of Su Yan, which made him a little confused.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, he chose the first one.
Although choosing the second one can get 10,000 stones of grain, Zou Zhi's favorability will be reduced.
By then, the matter of borrowing troops may be cold.
It is not advisable to make enemies at this time. It is better to make friends with some people. You will have to rely on these relationships when you encounter difficulties in the future.
