Chapter 55: The Taishou Who Was Taken Away
Zhang Yu came back from Sun's house, and his face was not very good.
He gave the Sun family enough face, but the Sun family had already refused.
After coming back, Zhang Yu told Zhang Zhao and Xi Zhicai about it.
"My lord, if the Sun family doesn't cooperate, I'm afraid other families will also wait and see." Zhang Zhao said.
"Wait and see, be obedient, from today onwards, we can't let these people lead us along." On the way back, Zhang Yu figured out something.
First of all, the personal friendship of these families is valuable and the interests of the family belong to the interests of the family.
Zhang Yu is an outsider, and if these families want to continue their local benefits, they must make Zhang Yu compromise.
"My lord, yes, these families have been in control of local affairs for a long time, and if we follow them, then we will be restrained by them in the future, which is very unfavorable. However, their power is strong, and if we can't break the situation as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome at that time. Xi Zhicai said.
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "I will officially take office tomorrow, you immediately send a post to all the families, let them come, and the big and small families will send it, and we can't weaken our momentum." ”
"Occupy the righteousness first, and then continue to strengthen, and slowly clean up these disobedient families."
officially took office as Taishou, these people will never dare to oppose Zhang Yu on the surface, and they will only cooperate in various ways.
Zhang Yu didn't have much time, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion could break out at any time.
Zhang Yu asked Zhang Zhao and Xi Zhicai to prepare separately.
In the evening, Ling Cao came back.
"Ling Cao, how many people have been recruited?" Zhang Yu asked.
"My lord, there are only more than a hundred people recruited at present." Ling Cao came back and said.
"Mobilize manpower, tomorrow I will officially take office, and the day after tomorrow I must recruit all 500 people." Zhang Yu said.
Ling Cao nodded, five hundred people is not too many, in this world, as long as there is food to eat, there are still a lot of people who are willing to be soldiers.
It's just that Zhang Yu and the others don't have a lot of manpower, and they don't have any influence in this area, so they only recruit more than 100 people a day.
Soon after Zhang Yu came out of the Sun family, many families in Wu County got the news.
In the Li family, the head of the Li family sits at the top.
"Master Li, this Sun Menghu is not here, among the counties of Huiji, you have the highest ability, this time Zhang Yu'er is the new Taishou, do we give him a dismount, let him know the power of our family." A middle-aged man in his forties said.
The head of the Li family nodded and said: "This Jiangdong region has always been controlled by our family, he Zhang Yu is an outsider, if he cooperates well, he can get some benefits, if he doesn't cooperate, let him play by himself." ”
"Haha..."
After the head of the Li family finished speaking, everyone below burst into laughter.
There were six families in this gathering, and although the Sun family was the largest family in the Jiangdong region, they did not send anyone to come.
Because Sun Jian's vision is relatively large and his ability is strong, his ambition is not in one place.
The six families can represent most of the families, and if they do not cooperate with the new Taishou Zhang Yu, then it is foreseeable that Zhang Yu will be very difficult at that time.
After the decision of the six families, they used their respective influences to influence the entire Huiji County, including all levels of government and almost all families.
Zhang Yu sent invitations overnight and asked them to watch the inauguration ceremony.
Only notify the family of Wu County, and other counties will not have time at all, but if the family of Wu County can be solved, then it is equivalent to the family of the entire Huiji County.
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Yu held an inauguration ceremony in Taishou Mansion as scheduled.
It is said to be a ceremony, but in fact it is a simple ceremony, and the most important thing is to see who comes.
The scene was very lively, in addition to the people brought by Zhang Yu himself, there were many people who came to watch the ceremony.
But Zhang Yu's face was not very good, because there was no important person.
None of these families had a core member of the family, and they all sent an outsider.
Can Zhang Yu's face be good in this way?
Zhang Yuhu completed the inauguration ceremony with a face, and then went to the study set up in the Taishou Mansion to rest by himself, and left the outside affairs to others.
Zhang Yu sat in the study by himself sulking while thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
Several important figures were sent out by Zhang Yu.
In the evening, several people gathered in the Taishou Mansion.
"Zibu, you talk about the situation first." Zhang Yu asked.
"My lord, there is not much in the treasury of the Taishou Mansion, but all the account books have also been lost." Zhang Zhao said.
Zhang Yu nodded and didn't say anything, let Xi Zhicai speak.
"My lord, I have already learned that almost all the important positions in the county are held by these families." Xi Zhicai said.
Then Xiang Heng said: "My lord, as expected, although there are not many soldiers and horses in the county, these people are also controlled by the family. ”
There are indeed not many soldiers and horses in the county, all of which add up to less than a thousand, and the combat effectiveness is low.
"Sure enough, these families have put me in the air, I'm afraid my decree won't be able to come out of the palace at all." Zhang Yu said after listening.
If the government decree can't be issued too much, then Zhang Yu and the others may really be completely blind.
"Lord, if you want to completely subdue these families, I'm afraid you still need to use the family, let's pull a group and suppress a group, otherwise it will not be so easy to break the current situation." Xi Zhicai said.
Zhang Yu closed his eyes, thought quietly for a while, and said, "No, this is too slow. These families are of course deep-rooted, but the times are different, and it will be troubled times soon, and the knife will be out of power, ignore them first, and we will do our thing. ”
Zhang Yu continued: "When I have soldiers and horses in my hands and things with strength, they are all scum, they don't give in, and they all pinch to death." ”
At this moment, Zhang Yu's domineering was exposed, he didn't want to do it according to the family's script at all, what if the government decree couldn't be issued by the Taishou Mansion, he now has the official position of Taishou, he can recruit troops and buy horses, and he can do a lot of things.
Once his strength grows, where will these families who once opposed him give them a way to live.
"Zhang Zhao, how many congratulatory gifts did these families send today?" Zhang Yu asked again.
Zhang Zhao didn't even need to look at the registered records, and directly converted them into copper coins.
"My lord, there are more than forty families in total, and there are some businessmen, all of them combined, and the congratulatory gifts sent are about to be worth more than 35,000 yuan." Zhang Zhao said.
"Okay, give all this money to Ling Cao, I'll be of great use." Although the money is not much, it is indeed what Zhang Yu urgently needs at this time.
There is not much time, and it is impossible for Zhang Yu to slowly consume it with these families.
After Zhang Yu assigned a few days of tasks, he let them handle it by themselves, while he had to concentrate on military affairs.
Ling Cao came back very late, and after he came back, he went directly to find Zhang Yu, he knew that Zhang Yu had been waiting for news from him.
"Ling Cao, how many people have been recruited now?" Zhang Yu asked.
"My lord, eight hundred people have been recruited according to your request." Ling Cao said.
Yes, Zhang Yu asked to recruit 800 people, although only 500 people are raised now, but he doesn't want waste, he wants elite soldiers, after training, 800 people will eliminate 300 people, leaving only 500 people.
