After solving the problem of Mayi's economic restructuring, Xu Wei planned to start building Mayi's supervision system, because he wanted to use the generals of the Yellow Turban Army, so he found Zhang Baiqi, who was a master in Mayi, and told him about this matter.
Zhang Baiqi is also very happy. His companions can integrate into the Tengjia Army in this way. This is the best thing.
He has been in Mayi for more than a month, and he has already seen the vitality of Mayi. He has already determined that Xu Wei is a hidden dragon. The addition of their Yellow Turban Army generals to the Tengjia Army is equivalent to providing help in a timely manner, and their future will be bright in the future.
So he contacted the generals of the Yellow Turban Army and invited them to eat hot pot!
The most prosperous commercial street in Mayi is where the shops and warehouses selling sweaters are located. There is an endless stream of merchants who come here to buy sweaters every day, making the whole street busy with traffic, even in the cold winter.
In order to solve the transportation problem of these caravans, Xu Wei also built sleds. The merchants found a treasure. With sleds, they could do business even in the cold winter.
The largest hot pot restaurant in Mayi City is located here. It is also the first hot pot restaurant in the world. It was from here that a big man learned the art of making hot pot. After a few hundred years, there may be a ancestral family in the culinary world.
title.
Zhang Baiqi booked the largest private room and invited a dozen old friends to have hot pot on the second floor.
Zhang Baiqi looked at the busy street and said with a smile: "How are you guys doing lately?"
Guo Daxian mocked: "I can't compare to you. Your monthly salary is over ten thousand, and the county magistrate's monthly salary is no more than that."
They really don't care about this little money. Every Qu Shuai who comes here has a millionaire, so they really don't need this little money. What they are jealous of is that Zhang Baiqi and the others are valued by Xu Wei and bring dozens of Taiping followers with them.
He became a master and taught his students to be respected, but they had nothing to do and spent all day shopping and traveling.
"The main thing is that I can teach and educate others, and show what I have learned." Zhang Baiqi seemed unable to hear the irony in this.
Then he said with a smile: "Mayi is really prosperous now. It is not inferior to Yecheng in Jizhou. Lei Gong is more capable than us."
Wulu said on the side: "We should have dragged Lei Gong to work with us from the beginning, otherwise we would not have been completely defeated."
Guo Daxian was unconvinced and said: "I admit that this Lei Gong is capable, but he is also greedy for life and afraid of death. We are in front of the officers and soldiers fighting to death, but he himself hides behind and watches us fight with the officers and soldiers. He will know when the officers and soldiers arrive.
"Escape, Mayi can develop so well now just by plundering the money from Wei County's noble families. After he spends all the money, Mayi will not return to its original state."
Huang Long really had a blood feud with the Han army, so he would join the Tengjia army even if he was just a soldier.
The original Yellow Turban Army commander, Qu Shuai, took a few of his cronies to study at the Mayi Military Academy. The others were unable to save face, and secondly, they disliked the low position of the village commander, so they did not join the Tengjia Army.
Guo Daxian and the others lived in Mayi City like rich idlers. Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Army had plundered hundreds of noble families, so the wealth of Qu Shuai like them was not low.
After they made sure that Mayi was safe, all the money was brought to Mayi, and they would live without any difficulties for a while.
But after all, they have tasted power, commanded tens of thousands of troops, and now they have become ordinary people. The disappointment in their hearts can be imagined, and they are naturally dissatisfied with Xu Wei, thinking that he has no tolerance for others and cannot be considered a hero.
Zhang Baiqi said: "Do you believe this? Who knew that our army of more than 100,000 people would be completely defeated in front of the Youzhou cavalry. If we want to be rescued, we have to be able to do so in time.
Moreover, Lei Gong had fought with Youzhou's cavalry several times, and he was not at a disadvantage. He was much stronger than us. It was because we were too proud and complacent at the beginning. We thought we had defeated the soldiers of Jizhou County, and thought that the Han army was also defeated.
But this is the case, otherwise with the defense of the city we occupy, not only we will defeat the Han army, but at least we won’t be defeated like now!"
Wu Lu also followed up and said: "We are not just sitting here in Mayi. Look at the densely packed workshops outside the city and the busy caravans on the streets. As long as something is produced in Mayi, the merchants outside are rushing to get it. Just rely on these workshops.
Mayi will not be able to sit back and rest, but will become more and more prosperous. Now this prosperous scene can be called a pearl beyond the Great Wall."
"He is really capable, we have to admit it, but it is also true that Lei Gong has no tolerance for others. We have fought together, and now we have taken refuge with him, but Lei Gong doesn't even want us!" Then Wu Lu sighed and said: "There are heroes who have taken refuge with others.
How can it be a big deal if you don’t use it!”
Zhang Baiqi smiled and said: "The whole city of Mayi only has 20,000 soldiers, but they don't want everyone like us. Lei Gong wants elites. His 10,000 people can defeat 100,000 of us, and there is even an army of 10,000 soldiers."
With ten thousand cavalry, such an elite can serve as a commander. This is already Lord Lei giving us face. Do you still want to take charge of thousands of people and become military commanders and captains? This is not asking Lord Lei to hand over the army to us. You
Do you think this is possible?"
Liu Shi was unconvinced and said: "But after all, we are also Commander Qu who has commanded tens of thousands of people and has rich fighting experience. Why should we go to a military academy before leading troops? I went to the military academy a few days ago to see Huang Long and I felt panicked. Huang Long
You are very old, but you are being bossed around by a young boy who is not even twenty years old. You are willing to be treated the same as Huang Long!"
Zhang Baiqi said seriously: "We have rich experience in defeating battles. Is such a thing worth showing off!"
"Everyone has also observed the current situation in Mayi in the past few days. Lei Gong is doing much better than what we did in Black Mountain, and the momentum of development is also very strong. If you don't want to be lonely, join Lei Gong and the others."
Guo Daxian said: "Lei Gong is looking down on me now. We are the commanders of Fangququ, so we can't really be the leading soldiers here. Instead of doing this, I might as well just become a rich man. Anyway, I have enough money."
.”
Zhang Baiqi laughed and said: "There are only 20,000 troops in Mayi. Is it possible to put all of you into the army? Who will hand over the elite troops to outsiders like us? Otherwise, you have to learn from Huang Long and go to the military academy to start from scratch to gain the trust of Lei Gong.
.Otherwise, everyone should just become rich men. With our relationship with Thunder Lord, he will definitely be able to guarantee our safety."
They wanted to be ordinary people but were unwilling to do so. The reason why they followed Zhang Jiao in rebellion cannot be said to have no mentality of serving the country and the people at all, but most of them still wanted to achieve their own class leap, rather than becoming ordinary people.
Live your life like this.
They traveled across thousands of mountains and thousands of miles to come to Bingzhou to join Xu Wei, because they saw that Xu Wei was the most developed among all the Yellow Turbans.
