Water Margin farming to become powerful

Ma Chong put down his tea bowl and asked, "My brother, how did you become like this?"

Du Cai looked at Ma Chong and smiled: "What? Am I really defeated now?"

"Hey, I didn't expect that Sun Xin would treat the people in our palace so meanly. I also said that you must be very happy here in Dengzhou."

Ma Chong directly talked about his worries: "The officials asked me to see what's going on in Dengzhou. Brother, tell me?"

"The officials are very worried about Dengzhou?"

Ma Chong didn't answer directly, but Du Cai had already seen a thing or two from his expression.

His heart sank, and he said with a false smile: "This Dengzhou is not that powerful, is it?"

"This Sun Xin took Liangshan down with a single strike, and now the east of Yunzhou has become his Sun Xin's world. Originally, the imperial court wanted to get rid of Liangshan's confidant, but now it is Sun Xin who compares Liangshan. How much more powerful."

Ma Chong pointed to the sky.

"Why aren't the officials worried?"

In fact, Du Cai could have come back to meet Ma Chong long ago, but after Sun Xin received his letter, he called him to the Supervisory Committee and told him how to talk to Ma Cong.

Now that Du Cai has too close a relationship with the Supervisory Committee, it is good that Sun Xin does not rebel here, once he rebels, he has no way of turning back at all, even if he returns to Bianliang, he will be suspected by Zhao Ji.

Du Cai also saw it clearly in his heart, knowing that he could only continue to work hard in the supervisory committee. He is now determined to follow the thief, and the only advantage is that he and Bianliang still have a private communication relationship, which can help Sun Xin pass some news If Sun Xin rebels, his value will be greatly reduced.

He knew that he had to use his advantage to do more things, so as to leave a good enough impression on Sun Xin.

Before, Sun Xin asked him to tell him that if Bianliang didn't have doubts, he should try his best to be perfunctory, but if he had doubts, he didn't need to go around with the other party.

Hearing Ma Chong's words, Du Cai sighed in his heart. He knew that there was no room for redemption. Once Zhao Ji's suspicion arose, it was absolutely impossible to let the supervisory committee go lightly. Just like what Sun Xin said, Bianliang's respect for the supervisory committee It is only a matter of time before it is dealt with.

As he thought about it, his face gradually became calm.

"The Supervisory Council of Sun Xinzhuang doesn't want to rebel, but if the court is strong enough not to allow him, I am afraid that Sun Xinzhuang's real anger will cause harm to one party. This matter must be discussed in the long term. The supervisor Can’t be underestimated.”

Ma Chong watched Du Cai pick up the teacup again and say the arrogant words, he was obedient and listened to the sound, he couldn't hear the weirdness in Du Cai's tone, but he was even more surprised in his heart.

"But you don't want to do something for the court?"

Du Cai said with a smile: "The officials asked me to come to this supervisory committee to watch over his shares. I will do my best, why not work for the imperial court?"

"Now my attitude is really to remind the officials that the supervisory committee should not be underestimated, and they must not start fighting lightly."

It was dusk, and there were fewer pedestrians outside. Everyone went home to eat, and the road became quiet for a while.

The sound of chopping meat came from the small kitchen at the other end of the yard. The child Du Cai led into the house silently went back to the room and lit a lamp without making any extra noise, as if he was finishing his homework.

In the silent room for a while, only the sound of the knife sitting on the cutting board kept ringing, the rhythm was fast and dense, and the noisy people felt inexplicably nervous.

Ma Cong looked at Du Cai, his expression gradually changed.

"So you have been bought by that Sun Xin?"

Du Cai also looked at Ma Chong with a smile.

"Always do your best and know the destiny."

"It's so slick..."

Ma Chong was surprised, and asked: "In this case, Sun Xin must have told you, what attitude will he have as a supervisor?"

"Sun Xin's meaning is very clear. He doesn't want to have a dispute with the court. If the court allows it, the owner is willing to buy peace with money."

Ma Chong was stunned for a long time, he never expected that Sun Xin could give such a straightforward suggestion.

Ma Chong was overjoyed: "How much money can buy a Shandong?"

Du Cai also looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Master Sun Xin means to send the same amount of food and salaries that the imperial court fought in Shandong last year, on the condition that the imperial court can not levy the supervisory committee."

Ma Chong was taken aback for a moment, and was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect Sun Xin to offer such a high price.

After thinking about it carefully, Ma Chong unexpectedly found that Sun Xin's suggestion sounded absurd, but it was not impossible.

He has also been in Dengzhou for a few days, and has carefully understood the situation of supervisory committees in various places.

The actions of the Supervisory Council are extremely dangerous, but to put it bluntly, it is just a larger civil association organization. There are such organizations everywhere. It is impossible not to attract the attention of the imperial court.

Take Sun Xin's current scale as an example, the officials are already very afraid of him, and now Sun Xin's novels are no longer sold in the capital.

But after all, such an association is very different from the rebels who rebelled.

According to Ma Chong's own understanding in the past few days, the Supervisory Committee has never said in its propaganda that it will elect anyone to be the emperor. Instead of attacking the government, they still pay taxes according to the regulations.

Moreover, Ma Chong had seen in the past few days that the strength of the supervisory committee far exceeded the imagination of many people in the capital.

On the way to Dengzhou, he had seen teams of guarding troops of the Supervisory Council by the side of the road, and their neat appearance was even more powerful than that of the Forbidden Army in Bianjing.

Conquering Liangshan had already cost the imperial court tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. How much money should the imperial court pay to destroy the supervisory committees all over Shandong?
Now Fang La in the south is causing chaos. If another force is to be split to conquer Sun Xin, will the imperial court still be able to support it?
After thinking about it for a while, Ma Chong was stunned to find that Sun Xin's proposal could actually be realized. As long as Sun Xin could not oppose the Song Dynasty court, if he just continued to be his local tyrant, the court would really be very happy under this situation. Probably ignore him.

Ma Chong is just an eunuch and has no decision-making power. All he can do is to tell Zhao Ji the truth about the situation in Dengzhou.

But after staying for a while, he still couldn't help wondering when he looked at Du Cai who was smiling in front of him.

This Du Cai is obviously an eunuch from the West City Office, but now he can follow Sun Xin to do things with all his heart. They are eunuchs who can be greedy for money and afraid of death, but the only thing is that they must rely on officials. How can this Du Cai lose his head? , actually willing to work with Sun Xin?
