"By the way, Master Du, I have something to report to you." Suddenly, Li Wenhao put down his chopsticks and said to Du Ning.

Du Ning was slightly taken aback, and then asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Li, but it's okay to say."

Li Wenhao smiled, and after pondering for a moment, he said to Du Ning: "Master Du, Wenlong County today can be said to be seriously injured."

"Why don't we take their lives now?"

Hearing this, Du Ning laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Master Li's words are exactly what I want. To tell you the truth, I called you this time to discuss the matter of attacking Wenlong County!"

After finishing speaking, Du Ning, who is the county official, looked at those people and said, "Now, everyone, tell me, what suggestions do you have for attacking Wenlong County?"

Hearing the words of County Venerable Du Ning, Li Wenhao, Wang Zhi and Liu Rufeng all looked at each other.

After a while, Liu Rufeng said, "Lord Du, I have an idea."

"Oh?" Du Ning smiled slightly, and then said, "Master Liu, why not tell me, what do you think about the attack on Wenlong County?"

"Lord Du, I want to ask you a few questions first." Liu Rufeng said, and looked at Du Ning after speaking.

"Master Liu, please tell me." Du Ning nodded slightly and said.

Liu Rufeng asked: "Lord Du, I want to ask you, do these officials in Wenlong County have their own private property?"

Du Ning didn't expect Liu Rufeng to ask this suddenly, but he still replied: "That's true, they do have their own property."

"Okay, then I'll ask, is there any part of their property that belongs to the government? This is one of my doubts, so I want to ask." Liu Rufeng asked.

Hearing Liu Rufeng's question, Du Ning thought for a while and said:

"I don't think so. I think these officials in Wenlong County should have their own properties. These properties belong to the government, but they are reluctant."

Du Ning's answer was not certain, but it made Wang Zhi's eyebrows slightly frowned.

Because from the tone of Du Ning, it seems that he really thinks so.

Although Du Ning's answer just now was very certain, the meaning was different.

Liu Rufeng continued: "Since this is the case, let me ask you another question. I want to ask Master Du, does Wenlong County also have the concept of private property?"

Liu Rufeng's reminder made Du Ning think of one thing, that is, whether the rules of Wenlong County will hand over all the private property of the officials to the county venerable?

The rules of the county government do not allow officials to own their own private property, which will damage the image of the county government among the people.

Thinking of this, Du Ning quickly explained: "Lord Liu, I do know about this. Their Wenlong County is different from our Anci County. Noble gentry are not allowed to own private property. I can guarantee this."

"That's good. Since that's the case, then I don't worry about it anymore. We can use this to make them split from the inside."

When Du Ning heard Wang Zhi's suggestion, hesitation flashed across his face, and he said, "You mean, we can win over the gentry in Wenlong County first, and then send troops to attack Wenlong County?"

Hearing Du Ning's question, Liu Rufeng interjected, "Master Du, you are right about this, we can ask the wealthy gentry in Wenlong County to support us in attacking Wenlong County."

"If we can recruit more than 100 gentry families in Wenlong County to help us, then the difficulty of attacking Wenlong County this time will be greatly reduced."

Liu Rufeng's words also caused several people present to fall into silence. After all, the strength of Anci County is not very strong, and there are no wealthy businessmen who are willing to help.

Du Ning thought for a while, and then said to Liu Rufeng: "In this case, I will handle this matter, and you guys will be responsible for organizing the attack on Wenlong County this time."

Liu Rufeng nodded when he heard Du Ning's words, and said, "Master Du, I will do it as soon as possible, and try to win Wenlong County as soon as possible."

Afterwards, everyone present discussed the attack plan again, and then the meeting ended. Liu Rufeng also said a few words of thanks to Du Ning at the end of the meeting, and then left.

……

Three days later, Du Ning began to take action.

He came to Wenlong County alone, and found the biggest rich man here, that is, the salt merchant Yudangshan.

As soon as the two met, Yu Dangshan said to Du Ning: "Master Du, what kind of wind brought you here, come in quickly, please sit down!"

Afterwards, he invited Du Ning into the main hall and made a cup of tea.

"Brother Yu, I came to you this time because I have something important to discuss." Du Ning said straight to the point, "I won't go around in circles anymore, I just want to ask you to do me a favor."

Yu Dangshan was slightly taken aback, and said, "Master Du, in your capacity, what can I do for help?"

Du Ning smiled and said, "Hehe, that's right. I'm going to attack your Wenlong County in a while. I hope you will cooperate with the outside world and help me."

"What?" Yu Dangshan was shocked and shouted, "Master Du, I am from Wenlong County. You want me to betray Wenlong County and help you?"

Du Ning laughed loudly and said: "Brother Yu, you don't have to pretend anymore, I know you have long been dissatisfied with Wenlong County, I promise you, as long as you help me conquer Wenlong County, I will make you the biggest businessmen, and not under government control."

Hearing this, Yu Dangshan was immediately moved.

Although he is a salt merchant, he doesn't want to be limited to this, he wants to be the biggest merchant in the world.

He now has several big deals, all of which started in Wenlong County.

If Du Ning can successfully take Wenlong County and fulfill his promise, he can get back most of the money, and then invest in building factories, roads, houses, etc. by himself.

"Lord Du, why should I trust you? How can I guarantee that this promise will be fulfilled?" Yu Dangshan asked back.

Du Ning pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "Brother Yu, this matter is of great benefit to you, so why do you refuse?"

"What's more, now that you know my plan to attack Wenlong County, if you don't agree, do you think I won't kill you?"

Seeing the playful smile on Du Ning's face, Yu Dangshan's heart tightened. He knew that Du Ning was not trying to scare people. He was quite clear about Du Ning's character.

If he really wanted to kill himself, he might not be able to escape at all.

"I agreed, but I hope you mean what you say and don't let me down."

Du Ning nodded, "Brother Yu, don't worry, since you are someone I value, I will definitely not let you down."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

Afterwards, Du Ning took his leave and left. He didn't take things too far. He knew that this kind of thing should not be rushed, and everything had to be done slowly.

After Du Ning left, Yu Dangshan fell into deep thought.

Du Ning's sudden appearance this time made him a little puzzled. He always felt that all this seemed to be inseparable from the previous war.

He was thinking about whether there was really a problem between Anci County and Wenlong County.

After Du Ning left, Yu Dangshan asked his men to investigate Anci County.

He was also gambling on whether Du Ning was really willing to use force to capture Wenlong County as he said.

If he loses the bet, then he will fall into a deep pit.

……

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.

During these five days, Du Ning went to Wenlong County every day to meet with the gentry in Wenlong County and establish a good relationship with them, and he also sent his own men to recruit soldiers and horses in various places, preparing to attack Wenlong County .

As for Yu Dangshan, during the period when Du Ning left, he led his own people to move around Wenlong County, looking for some reliable candidates.

He did this for a reason. He knew that Du Ning's goal was Wenlong County.

And his own goal is to become the biggest businessman in Wenlong County.

At that time, it would be the best if he could become a businessman in Wenlong County. If he couldn't, it wouldn't be a big deal. He could still develop in other places instead of staying in Wenlong County all the time.

He believes that with his intelligence, he will soon become a business wizard.
