After getting Mordor's approval, Luo Binwang was relieved and went straight to the county office.
Next, he had to visit Zeng Cheng.
After all, Zeng Cheng was in charge of Yongye County's affairs.
After all, Zeng Cheng was the county magistrate.
When Luo Binwang arrived at the county office, Zeng Cheng came out to welcome him personally. When Zeng Cheng saw Luo Binwang, he quickly bowed and said, "Mister Luo, please!"
Luo Binwang said, "County Magistrate Zeng, please!"
The two entered the hall together and sat down.
Zeng Cheng said first, "Mister Luo, you don't have to come personally. Just send someone to inform me and I'll go personally. You're torturing me like this. "
Luo Binwang said, "County Magistrate Zeng, you don't have to be so polite. In Yongye County, you're the person in charge. Also, Young Master has allowed you to return to Yongye County to be the county magistrate. Do your job well. As long as you make achievements, nothing will be a problem. If you're incompetent, it'll be hard for you to gain a foothold. "
Zeng Cheng said solemnly, "Thank you for your reminder, Mister Luo. I'll keep it in mind."
Luo Binwang said, "Young Master has big plans. It's even beyond your imagination. So, do your job well. In the future, your future won't be limited to this county. You can also become the governor of a county, or even look up to the land of a province. Now, do your job well. This is your chance. Take it well. "
Zeng Cheng said again, "Thank you, Mister Luo."
Luo Binwang said, "Alright, I won't say any more nonsense. Let's get back to business. I'm here to talk to you about something important. "
Zeng Cheng said, "Please tell me, Mister Luo."
Luo Binwang said, "It's about the Chen and Wang Families."
Zeng Cheng said, "Did they break the law?"
Luo Binwang said, "No, they didn't."
Zeng Cheng nodded and said, "I know a little about the Chen and Wang Families. These two families are benevolent and righteous families. Every time there's a disaster, they'll help the people and let them get through the hardships. Because of this, the two families have great influence in Yongye County and are deeply loved by the people. "
"It was thanks to the support of the Chen family and the Wang family that I was able to secure my position as the county magistrate of Yongye County."
"I still owe them a debt of gratitude."
Zeng Cheng spoke frankly and frankly, "But Mister Luo mentioned the Chen and Wang families. What mistakes did they commit? You need me to step forward and ask them to cooperate with the questioning. "
In Yongye County, the Chen Family and the Wang Family had great influence.
Especially among the common people, his reputation was very high.
Luo Binwang said, "County Magistrate Zeng, the current rules of Fushan County … Oh, no, it should be said that my Young Master brought the rules from Xia Xia. All the land is no longer owned by individual families, but by the imperial court. The land will then be distributed to the people, and the people will cultivate it. But in reality, commoners can't be bought or sold. Once a commoner dies, it will belong to the imperial court. "
"This is Mr. Xia's rule."
"This is also Young Master's rule."
"Fushan County is currently operating according to this rule. In the future, Yongye County will follow this rule as well. So right now, I need to take all the land of the Chen Family and the Wang Family. "
Luo Binwang said, "I need your help with this matter. If the two families were people who exploited the common people and mistreated them, I wouldn't say a word. I would mobilize the troops and wipe them out without giving them any chance. But now, they are a benevolent family. If I mobilize the troops directly, it would be inappropriate. So right now, I haven't mobilized the troops directly. "
Zeng Cheng said, "Mister Luo is right."
Luo Binwang said, "County Magistrate Zeng, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Zeng Cheng shook his head and said, "This matter is very serious, especially since it involves the two families. I can't think of a solution at the moment. "
Luo Binwang said, "How about this? Leave this matter to me. County Magistrate Zeng, your task is very simple. Invite the two of them to the county office and leave this matter to me."
"Yes!"
Zeng Cheng immediately agreed.
He immediately said, "Please wait for a moment, Mister Luo. I'll immediately visit the two family heads and invite them to the county office for a chat."
Luo Binwang said, "Okay, I'll wait for you here. County Magistrate Zeng, I hope you won't let me down. "
Zeng Cheng said, "I won't let Mister Luo down."
If he hadn't seen Du Qi's strength and knew how powerful Du Qi was, Zeng Cheng might have joined forces with the Wang Family and the Chen Family to take some measures to regain their power.
But now, Zeng Cheng didn't have such thoughts.
Because he knew how powerful Du Qi was.
Making an enemy of Du Qi was like committing suicide.
Zeng Cheng got up and left the county office. He took the lead to go to the Chen Family.
The Chen Family was located in the north of the city.
The family head of the Chen Family was called Chen Beixuan. He was in his early forties, young and strong, and had a good relationship with Zeng Cheng. The reason why Zeng Cheng could become the county magistrate was because of Chen Beixuan's support.
Chen Beixuan received the news that Zeng Cheng had come to visit and personally came to welcome him. When he saw Zeng Cheng, he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Zeng, please!"
"Please!"
Zeng Cheng nodded.
The two of them entered the main hall of the Chen Family and took their seats.
Chen Beixuan stroked his beard and said, "County Magistrate Zeng, you led the army to attack Fushan County's army and were captured after your defeat. I was worried about you for a while. Now that you've returned safely and are in charge of Yongye County again, it's great. With you around, us old folks in Yongye County can feel at ease. "
Zeng Cheng said, "Brother Chen, I'm here today to discuss something with you. Also, I've pledged my allegiance to Fushan County. "
Chen Beixuan said, "You're working for the county magistrate of Fushan County?"
Zeng Cheng shook his head and said, "Not the county magistrate of Fushan County. The county magistrate of Fushan County only works for someone else. The real person in charge of Fushan County is Du Qi. Now, I'm working for Du Qi. "
Chen Beixuan nodded and asked, "County Magistrate Zeng, what's the matter?"
Zeng Cheng said, "I'm here to invite you to the county office for a discussion."
Chen Beixuan said, "What's the specific matter?"
Zeng Cheng said, "The specific matter involves the land of Yongye County. As everyone knows, the basic land of Yongye County belongs to the Chen and Wang families. Now, we're here to discuss this matter. "
Chen Beixuan's expression changed slightly.
The land was the lifeblood of a family.
Once they lost the land, they would lose the foundation of their family's legacy.
For a family, once the family's wealth was used up, it would be used up. However, if the family's land was still there, the family would still be there. Even if the family was temporarily in decline, the family could still rise again as long as the land was there.
Zeng Cheng said, "Brother Chen, I'm not sure how the land will be changed. It's the mastermind behind Fushan County, Du Qi's strategist, Luo Binwang. I don't know much about this matter either. "
Chen Beixuan frowned.
In his heart, he was very unhappy.
Touching his land was the same as touching his lifeblood.
Chen Beixuan said, "County Magistrate Zeng, Du Qi's men are going to make a move on the land. To put it simply, they're going to seize the land. To do such a thing was not only inappropriate, it was also somewhat immoral. Are you really going to follow such a person? "
Zeng Cheng said, "Brother Chen, we'll discuss the details after we meet them. What do you think? Let's talk about their attitude. If we can't come to an agreement, we'll talk about the follow-up. In addition, I can guarantee your safety. In fact, the Chen and Wang families are righteous and treat the people well. That's why I invited you to negotiate. Otherwise, I would've sent troops to wipe out the two families. "
Chen Beixuan frowned.
This matter did not seem to be beneficial to him and the Chen family.
Chen Beixuan said, "County Magistrate Zeng, give me a definite answer. What's going on? What's Luo Binwang thinking? "
Zeng Cheng said, "I really don't know the details. What I know now is that the land is involved. Therefore, I really need you to go and negotiate. In fact, it's not just you. I have to invite the head of the Wang family as well. The two of you have to go and talk and see what Luo Binwang has to say. "
Chen Beixuan said, "What if we don't go?"
Zeng Cheng sighed, "Brother Chen, if you don't go, you'll be refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Although the Chen Family and Wang Family's strength isn't bad, can your family's private soldiers compare to my six thousand elites? The five thousand elites I brought out were all wiped out. Not a single one is left. If you resist, you'll be courting death. "
Whoosh!
Chen Beixuan's expression changed greatly.
He did not expect Zeng Cheng to say such words.
Chen Beixuan said, "County Magistrate Zeng, aren't you a little too afraid of them?"
Zeng Cheng said, "If I didn't know Du Qi's strength, I wouldn't be like this. As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless, so it's nothing. However, I know their strength, so it's different. Du Qi comes from the Xia Xia in the far west. That's a big empire. He's one of Xia Xia's men and has come to Great Qin. They're too strong. So, if the Chen family wants to be enemies with Du Qi, you'll be courting death. "
Chen Beixuan's heart sank even further.
The situation was not good!
Zeng Cheng said, "Brother Chen, you and I have known each other for more than ten years. So, I won't beat around the bush. I'm telling you the truth. Under the current circumstances, you can only talk to them and see what they have to say. "
Chen Beixuan nodded and said, "That's the only way."
At this point, he had no other choice.
Zeng Cheng said, "Brother Chen, pack up and come with me to see the Wang family's patriarch. Then, we'll go to the county office together. After all, Luo Binwang wants to see the two of you now. "
"Alright!"
Chen Beixuan nodded.
He did not change his clothes. He just ordered his men to prepare a carriage. Then, he took the carriage and went straight to the Wang family with Luo Binwang.
The Wang family of Yongye County was located in the east of the city, so it was further away.
The patriarch of the Wang family was called Wang Xi.
When he heard Zeng Cheng's words, he did not say much and agreed immediately. There was no other reason. Wang Xi knew that Fushan County had the upper hand. Yongye County had fallen into Du Qi's hands. What else could he say?
He could only wait and see.
Zeng Cheng led Wang Xi and Chen Beixuan to the county office. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Luo Binwang sitting in the hall.
Zeng Cheng stepped forward and said, "Mr. Luo, I've brought them."
Chen Beixuan stepped forward and bowed. "I'm Chen Beixuan. Greetings, Mr. Luo."
Wang Xi also said, "I'm Wang Xi. Greetings, Mr. Luo."
The two of them were surprised to see Luo Binwang. After all, Luo Binwang was still young. After all, Luo Binwang had just followed Du Qi.
Luo Binwang looked calm. He smiled and waved his hand. "Please have a seat!"
Everyone took their seats.
Luo Binwang did not beat around the bush. "County Magistrate Zeng personally invited you. I believe you already know that I invited you here to discuss the land issue."
Chen Beixuan said, "Please tell us, Mr. Luo. How should we arrange the land?"
Wang Xi also said, "Please tell us, Mr. Luo."
As the leaders of the big families, the two of them had serious expressions. This involved land and the lifeblood of the two big families.
