Zhang Han tried to get officials, train troops, and recruit soldiers. Of course, Lingqiu was very concerned about these things. When he said hello, Ma Huaxian called Zhang Han the Lord.

Of course, no one would believe that Zhang Han really wanted to be an official, and I'm afraid that someone would even disagree with it in his own heart.

Now Zhang Han has strong protection in the officialdom. It is very good to be an official. If he protects him in a few years, the umbrella will not be as powerful as he is now. I am afraid that this official position will cause unnecessary trouble.

Ma Huaxian said at this time: "Master Zhang, do you know that Yu Shi was fighting this man?"

"I know." Zhang Han said: "I heard that the trouble is very big recently."

"He has already made a fuss to Huo County." Ma Huaxian said: "There are many miners here in Lingqiu. If the bandits do not have any ambitions and just want to be a bandit, they will not come to Lingqiu to make things boring. If they are not just wanting to be a bandit, Lingqiu needs to be more careful. I have reported this to Zhu's parents, and the master has no choice..."

Of course, Zhu Qingyu, the magistrate, had no choice. There was no inspection department in the local area, no local archers and military preparations, and only some yamen servants under the county government idled. These people urged taxes and bullied Liangshan was a good man. Isn't that a joke to ask them to fight bandits?

Zhang Han said: "Lingqiu is under the rule of Datong Prefecture. In fact, the magistrate of Zhu and the 3rd county magistrate can write Datong Prefecture. Datong Prefecture will transfer the article to Datong Town. If there are police, you can send cavalry here. I want to send some bandits and send hundreds of cavalry here, and in the blink of an eye, it will be pacified."

Ma Huaxian shook his head gently and whispered: "That Yu Shigan was originally the border army of our Datong Town. He was transferred to Liaodong to fight Jiannu. He saved his life on the battlefield. When defending Tieling, the deputy general opened the city and surrendered. Yu Shigan and dozens of people fled out of the city and saved his life."

Sun Jingting interrupted, "Then this person is really capable. Tieling and Kaiyuan. Because both cities resisted, the old slave ordered the city to be massacred. In addition to a few surrendered scams, the inside and outside of the city were almost destroyed. If the two cities added up, there were probably nearly 300,000 people killed, and most of the guards were killed."

"That's right." Ma Hua clapped his hands first, "This man is very capable and has a sense of resentment. He fled from Liaodong to Datong. On the way, there were already many soldiers from Datong and Xuanfu towns who had privately fled. When he fled back to Shanxi, he had already carried one or two hundred people. These were not ordinary bandits of one or two hundred people, all of them were soldiers of the border army."

Li Dayong was originally planning the gains and losses of his iron field, but he was also attracted by it. He said: "With these two hundred border troops as the core, this bandit will be brave and difficult to suppress!"

"No!" Ma Huaxian said: "With the border army as the core, Yu Shigan also threatened the strong men to join in. Now he heard that there are nearly 3,000 people, and he has ambition to attack prefectures and counties recently. If he asked him to break a few county towns or even prefectures, it is not known that half of the Shanxi province will fall."

Li Dayong was thrilling when he heard this and said with a forced smile: "The sky fell and there was a tall man holding on... What should we worry about these worries?"

Ma Hua glanced at him first and said, "Everything is not planned, and I don't want to wait until the rioters enter the country before thinking about escaping!"

Zhang Han said: "Ma Dongzhu told me about these things, I'm afraid there is a purpose, so please just say it."

Ma Huaxian said: "I'm afraid Master Zhang doesn't know that I went to Lizhuang quietly once a month ago... I'm quite knowledgeable, but I'm afraid there are not many people who train like the Daliangshan Inspection Office. This soldier is a good foreshadowing of Master Zhang and can be used for the emergency."

At this time, everyone knew what Ma Huaxian meant. Lingqiu and Daliangshan Inspection Office were more than 120 miles apart, with an official road connected in the middle, crossing many mountains. If there were really serious bandits, Zhang Han's troops could arrive in a short time.

What Ma Hua had to save first was not only his own life, but more importantly, his wealth.

Ma Huaxian said again: "The blast furnaces in our iron yards are all here. If bandits and soldiers are in chaos, miners are either thieves or separated, and the iron yards and blast furnaces are destroyed, even if they escape for a while, they will not be able to restore the current situation in a few years. I have worked hard all my life and have run my own iron yard since my great-grandfather's time. The three blast furnaces were built again last year according to Zhang Dongzhu's method. If you abandon everything now, it would be better to die at the thief's hand."

Zhang Han frowned and said, "The Daliangshan Inspection Department has its own confidence. If you arrive at Lingqiu, it can be said that it is a waste of trust and is a taboo thing."

Li Dayong also felt that the matter was dangerous at this time. Yu Shigan's bandits were not ordinary bandits. I am afraid that the governor and senior officials at the military preparation level would be promoted to the army before they could be wiped out. Whether to wipe out was the court's business. If these bandits really came to wash Lingqiu before being suppressed, everything would be over.

The more Li Dayong thought about it, the more dangerous he felt. Then Zhang Han said, "Zhang Dongzhu, I only realized your intention to be a patrol archer. In recent years, it has been a bit uneasy. Our merchants are not as good as gentry. If there are any twists and turns, many generations of hard work may be put into trouble. In short, the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce should be the master, and according to the conditions just now, our peace will also depend on the boss."

Sun Anle's eyes at Zhang Han changed again at this time.

He had admired Zhang Han before, and now he was even more impressed.

Sun Anle said: "The merchant also holds soldiers in his hands to protect himself. We can't even think of this layer."

Ma Huaxian said: "Even if we think of this before, we probably don't have the courage to do it. We, such a good businessman, can talk to the county parents and not be forced by clerks or bullied by the yamen, which is enough. Who dares to pick up the tiger's beard and have such a deep relationship with the government, how can we build such a hard relationship? Just like Zhang Dongzhu, you will become a inspector in the same place."

Zhang Han's success and his process of starting a family were indeed extremely dazzling. In less than two years, he became a major business tycoon in the north. He went deeper into the grassland and communicated with the Mongolian barbarians, as well as the governor, governor, general, deputy general, and the top power of the Ming Dynasty at the top of the local area. Zhang Han also established a relationship with him.

Strong financial resources, broad friendships and deep relationships with power are the biggest reason why Zhang Han can do whatever he wants.

Lingqiu and others probably realized this...

Sun Jingting was a little worried. He was different from Ma Huaxian and Li Dayong, and he would think about Zhang Han’s affairs from the perspective of a friend. Zhang Han can now be said to be dancing with the wolf. If he is not careful, he will be swallowed by power.

Everyone expressed their opinions that the most important owners of the Lingqiu Chamber of Commerce were all on Zhang Han's side, and it was only a matter of time before the Chamber of Commerce could reintegrate.

After lunch, everyone drank a few drinks. Li Dayong and others said goodbye one after another. They also discussed the news with their confidants and partners, and also made some preparations in advance.

Zhang Han and Sun Jingting went for a walk in the back mountain. Sun Jingting said, "Yu Niang was caught this time, so she was not allowed to come out..."

Zhang Han smiled bitterly and said, "When we meet at this time, we will only increase our worries, and that's fine."

Sun Jingting smiled and began to talk about his concerns just now.

"Xiaozheng," Zhang Hanzheng looked at Sun Jingting and said slowly: "It's great that you can think of this. I have concerns about this. The changes in the officialdom are much faster than those in the shopping mall. In my current state, if a few truly capable backers fall, my fate will probably be really bad... To put it bluntly, the Mule and Horse Industry is a business that no one robs. My account is the kingdom, and it also relies on connections and daring to rush and fight. No one can rob me of the account business now, but my courage to fight and kill is because I have a strong backer... The officialdom and the shopping mall are actually inseparable. Going forward, if we really have our own strength, it can make people who want to be afraid of us, at that time, the Ming Dynasty may have a real shopping mall and business war... The battle that Fan Yongdou and I are doing now is said to be a business war, but in fact, they are playing a political card."

"Wen Lan." Sun Jingting said with a eager look: "When will you be able to do what you said?"

"I can't tell you this, either." Zhang Han smiled and continued, "Today, these people actually know that the merchants are going to hold guns, which is a great improvement."

Sun Jingting said disdainfully, "That is, the bandits are in front of you. These people only have money in their eyes. When they talk about it privately, I really don't know how much criticism has been made about you!"

...

Sun Anle drank a lot of wine at noon and returned to his mansion drunk at noon.

His residence is built in a corner of Dongshan, with sunrise and sunshine on the back. There are many flowers and trees around him. There is a mountain spring water that sells down, which is a very good place.

Sun Anle had long stated that he would be buried in the back mountain after his death, and he looked at his iron farm and this mansion.

A few years ago, Sun Anle felt that he had lost his vitality, and he had chosen the grave site. Now he felt that he was full of energy. After all, he was only in his fifties and could do things for a few more years.

Sun's wife and Yu Niang were both standing in the main room of the back hall waiting for Sun Anle. When Sun's wife saw Sun Anle coming in drunkenly, she complained: "I told you to drink two less drinks. Last time I was drunk, why didn't I know how to change it?"

“Today is really different from usual.”

"That's not what I said."

"It's really different." Sun Anle took the tea handed over by his wife, took a sip of joy, and then said, "Zhang Han, Jingting and I didn't see him wrong."

Yu Niang tightened her body, and her pretty face, which was a little thin, suddenly raised her.

"I don't know what he has to do." Seeing his daughter like this, my grandson felt distressed and angry, and said coldly: "Look at how he tortured our daughter. In the past, Yu Niang loved to play and make fun of her temper, but now she never goes out all day long. I feel so sad. I don't want to hear that you go to see him."

"What are you talking about?" Sun Anle said unhappily: "We are talking about serious matters, what do you do if you mix Yu Niang in."

He said everything he discussed today, and finally said: "In the future, everyone is waiting to share the money. Zhang Han is not only capable, but also very generous. In fact, with his current strength, even if he takes it alone or simply put aside the chamber of commerce, who can do anything else, is just staring at me."
