Then I was a little worried, how much should I give to Ju Ming?

If you pay too much, you won't be happy.

Ju Ming was dissatisfied with the lack of points.

After thinking about it, Xiang Zhixian decided to give two hundred guan to Ju Ming. He would also give hush money to each of the archers working tonight.

Well, he thinks this is very appropriate.

Xiang Zhixian came out of the cellar and took Zhu Ming aside alone: ​​"Nephew Zhu Xian, although the thieves left a lot of property, I still have to use it to fill the tax gap. I can't get a few..."

Before he could finish speaking to the county magistrate, Ju Ming cupped his hands and said, "The county magistrate Rong Bing, I will not take any of the property here."

"Um?"

Xiang Zhixian was not happy about this. If something went wrong, it would be a monster. He was not sure what Zhu Ming wanted.

Sure enough, Ju Ming's appetite was greater than he imagined: "The people around Heifeng Stronghold are all bandits. It's easy to capture the stronghold, but it's hard to get rid of the evil spirit. I would like to share the worries of the county magistrate."

Xiang Zhixian frowned and said, "You might as well explain it more clearly."

"I want Heifeng Village, the villages at the foot of the mountain, including Tea Mountain!" Zhu Ming said clearly immediately.

Xiang Zhixian was shocked, and then a little angry: "I'm afraid my nephew won't be able to swallow it."

"You can swallow it," Zhu Ming said, "It's an unclaimed land, and the village is full of bandits. How will the county settle it?"

Xiang Zhixian said: "I haven't thought about it yet. We will discuss it after we capture the bandit stronghold."

Ju Ming said: "This place is remote. If there is any land in the cellar, I'm afraid the county magistrate will sell it. The same is true for Heifeng Village. The tea mountains and acres must be sold, but to whom can it be sold? If it is sold to greedy people, it will be sold to a greedy person."

Within two years, the bandits will rebel. Although I am not talented, I can educate the bandits and relieve the county officials from their worries."

Xiang Zhixian is still hesitating, he wants to capture Heifeng Village and make another fortune.

Zhu Ming suddenly pressed the hilt of the sword, unsheathed the sword with a clang, flicked the sword and swore: "With this sword, I can tame the bandits, and I guarantee that no bandits will cause trouble during the term of the county magistrate!"

Xiang Zhixian was so frightened that he took a few steps back and looked at the sword in horror: "Just...just follow what my nephew said."

In the dark, in a remote village, there were still many belongings in the cellar, and he was afraid that he would die suddenly and accidentally.

"Your Majesty, please don't panic. I just vowed to share your worries with you." Zhu Ming quickly returned the sword to its sheath, making a look of panic.

Xiang Zhixian smiled awkwardly and said: "I know my nephew's feelings. Those bandits are all fierce and cannot be tamed unless my nephew is good."

Ju Ming immediately lowered his body, nodded and bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, please get on the boat. I will have the goods in the cellar carried out immediately."

"Okay, okay, I have my nephew here."

Xiang Zhixian walked out of the house and into the courtyard. When the night wind blew, he realized that his vest was soaked through.

He didn't want to stay in this damn Xixiang County for even a moment longer. He had to send money for the next performance evaluation, so he could feel at ease if he left this place early.

There are no good people in Xixiang County!

Ju Ming stood in the room and just sneered. He was not afraid of going back on his word to the magistrate, at least he would not fall out before he captured Heifeng Village.

Ju Ming had enough time to master the more than 300 archers, which was an extremely powerful force in Xixiang County.

Even if these archers are only temporary, they will all be disbanded after the bandit suppression is over.

A mere commoner who got a temporary job dared to threaten the county magistrate with his small fortune. This was an extremely risky move, and if he wasn't careful, he would be shattered to pieces.

But a horse cannot fatten without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without windfall, so Ju Ming must risk his life.

I rely on my dad to make a fortune by farming at home, but I don’t know how long it will take until the Year of the Monkey!

According to Xunzi's theory of king and hegemony, what Ju Ming did tonight cannot be called "overbearing" at all, and it has nothing to do with "kingly way". It belongs to the incomplete and low-level "strong way".

Therefore, we must act kingly and domineering next.
