However, Mao Zhengliang did not attack. But with a smile and his own guards, he hurried the horse forward.
In this way, looking at Mao Zhengliang who was getting closer and closer, those civil servants and squires who came with him could not bear it.
"Dismissal (villain) to pay a visit to the marshal!"
After brushing, more than half of them fell on their knees.
As a result, Sun, Qian and Gong, who were still riding on the horse, could not help but appear more abrupt. So the three of them looked at each other for a moment, but they had to get off the horse and salute with folded fists.
"The last general, meet the young master."
The three said together, but none of them touched the ground on their knees.
Seeing this, Mao Zhengliang could not help frowning. Obviously, the problem he had been worried about before he came has happened. However, Sun, Qian and Gong made great contributions and did not pay attention to the so-called marshal.
But at this time, Mao Zhengliang couldn't attack because of it. So I had to pretend that nothing had happened and waved to them, saying "Excuse me".
"Master Xie (Marshal)."
Sun, Qian and Gong thanked them in a procedural way.
Later, Sun Weijie, who was the leader of the three, could not help looking up at Mao Zhengliang and saying, "Young Lord, the city has already prepared a reception for the young Lord. I hope that the young Lord will show his appreciation and move to the city, so that we, as ministers and subordinates, can show our hearts."
"Well, thank you."
Welcome to the banquet, which is the meaning of the title.
Although Mao Zhengliang hated Sun Weijie and his colleagues for their pride, he would not refuse.
So after hearing a greeting, the people waiting at the Shili Changting also gathered around Mao Zhengliang and went back to Yidu.
However, on the way back, Mao Zhengliang looked at the endless green wheat fields on both sides of the road, but he couldn't help smiling, "I can't help but find that there is no idle field in Yidu.
Looking around, there are scenes of men farming and women weaving everywhere. As the governor of Yidu, you really have a hand! "
"Ha ha, I'm flattered, I'm flattered." Hearing that Mao Zhengliang didn't mention military affairs, he suddenly talked about the people's livelihood of Yidu, and Zhao Zexi, the prefect of Yidu, also welcomed out of the city, was stunned.
But then, this guy who is over 40 years old, has a sparse beard, and looks very ordinary, he said modestly: "I have only done my part. It is thanks to the grace of the Lord that the place of Yidu can survive today.
Since the year ago, when the Lord was in power in Shandong, he set up garrison farms to reduce taxes. The official and civilian fields within the territory are two out of ten, so that the people of Shandong Province are free from the hardship of the harsh policies of the Yuan Dynasty and Mongolia.
In this way, the people in the territory can live a good life of self-sufficiency. "
Zhao Zexi said, and then looked around the Siye, he could not help but feel some sincere emotion and said: "Yasheng once said, 'He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world.' The Lord's grace is widely spread around the Siye, and someday, he will be able to establish a hegemony!"
In his words, he was full of confidence in the future of Mao Gui's regime.
After all, Mao Gui is definitely the first one to attach importance to people's livelihood and production. In this regard, even Zhu Yuanzhang in the south of the Yangtze River is far inferior.
Even now, Zhu Yuanzhang is still maintaining his army by forcibly commandeering "village food".
By comparison, Zhao Zexi and others are naturally full of confidence.
However, since the topic has been opened, it is inevitable to mention Zhao Junyong next.
It's impossible to hide such a big thing, so even in Yidu, Zhao Zexi and Sun Weijie knew that Zhao Jun wanted to assassinate Mao Gui, and they were killed as a result.
When it comes to this matter, the natural welcome is a good burst of excitement. Whether Zhao Zexi or Sun Weijie, they all swore at the dead Zhao Junyong.
But these people's lives have long been tied to Mao Gui. In this way, they wished they could tear Zhao Jun, who wanted to take everything away from them, into pieces.
Therefore, Mao Zhengliang, who saved Mao Gui's life in a timely and decisive manner at the critical moment, naturally welcomed a lot of admiration and praise.
After all, on the other hand, Mao Zhengliang's quick decision saved their lives indirectly.
So under Mao Zhengliang's intentional guidance, a group of civil and military officials from Yidu surrounded him to the city. These people's subconscious rejection of the airborne Mao Zhengliang dissipated most of the time.
……
"Young Master, please take your seat."
When he came to the Marshal's Mansion where the banquet was held, Zhao Zexi could not help leading Mao Zhengliang to the upper seat.
In response, Mao Zhengliang nodded his head, "OK, everyone, please sit down."
This wave of hands means that the banquet is just beginning.
Therefore, after a group of civil and military generals in Yidu put their buttocks on their seats, the servants who had been preparing for a long time in the mansion were busy presenting delicious food and jars of wine.
So after filling himself with a glass of wine, Mao Zhengliang, who was almost praised all the way, could not help standing up from his seat with a glass of wine.
"Come on, everyone, today is a time of joy. I will do my duty first. You are welcome."
As he said this, he raised his glass, and Mao Zhengliang drank the wine in one gulp.
Seeing this, the atmosphere on the court was naturally aroused. Before it was time to eat, people began to push their cups and change them.
But gradually, Mao Zhengliang, the most distinguished official and also the highest position, became the protagonist of the toast.
As long as they are qualified in this room, they will raise their glasses and come to Mao Zhengliang one after another to toast.
However, it was unexpected that Mao Zhengliang, who was a young student in grade, would not refuse. Instead of letting people stop him from drinking, they began to drink with others one by one.
So nearly an hour after the banquet, Sun Weijie, who also had a red face, hit Mao Zhengliang in front of him.
"Ha ha ha, young master, how can I drink it now? If I can, I will give you a toast."
With these words, this guy, who is 20 years older than Mao Zhengliang, can't help but touch his beard with a forthright look.
So seeing this, Mao Zhengliang couldn't help laughing and saying, "Since General Sun said so, there is no reason not to drink this wine."
After saying that, he also took up his glass and touched Sun Weijie's glass.
But this time, whether intentionally or unintentionally, when they clinked their glasses, Sun Weijie raised his glass with a shake of his hand and let Mao Zhengliang hit the bottom of his glass.
"Ha ha ha, drink."
As if he hadn't found anything, Sun Weijie looked up and drank all the wine in his glass.
