Chapter 18 I will find a way

Gao Chong clapped his hands and said, "My mother is right. People respect me one foot, and I will let them one foot; since he wants to use strength, let's see who can laugh at the end."

Li suddenly said, "Dalang, I forgot if you don't say it. Lord Liu Wei is leaving the day after tomorrow. Let's go into the city to meet him and see this old man off."

"Okay! I'll go with my mother tomorrow."

"Give me this painting! Check me for homework and see how I do it?"

"I'm sure!" Gao Chong bowed his fists with his solemn hands and ran to his mother's desk.

"Naughty!" Li burst into laughter, picked up the instruction stick in his hand and gently hit him.

On this day, Gao Chong kept practicing arithmetic with his mother, and did not show any abnormalities at all. It was not until the evening that he saw Gao Wei who was rushing back.

Gao Wei looked angry and stepped forward to salute, "Master, I'm considered a fall! This man named Dong didn't see me at all. I finally saw his subordinates who were responsible for collecting taxes. The bastard also gave me an official voice, saying that Manager Ding was violently resisting taxes and had to follow the laws of the country, otherwise he would be afraid that others would follow suit and let the government down."

Gao Chong snorted coldly and said, "Very good! Is this going to prepare our Gao family to establish our authority! When will they be trying this case?"

"It seems that they don't plan to interrogate immediately, but they seem to be trying to catch our appetite and wait for us to come to admit our mistakes."

"Hmph! He has a good plan! Gao Wei, please work harder to go to the city to manage the jail level and prison, so that they can take care of it. I will think of other ways to get Manager Ding out."

"What's the hard work? Don't worry! I'll do it now. Cai Qing is my friend, and this person is very loyal, so I'll go to him now."

Gao Chong nodded and said, "Go to the account to pay 100 taels of silver and buy some tea for Cai Jiejie. I will invite him after the matter is done."

"You are so polite! I'm leaving now!" Gao Wei agreed and turned around and went out.

Gao Chong's face sank down. Dong Cai was determined to establish his authority with the Gao family. How could he find a way to make him surrender?

Although the Gao family also had relatives and old friends in the court, they would definitely not offend Tong Guan, the king who had no power, for themselves, and if they were far away, they would not be able to relieve their near thirst, so they would have to think of ways nearby.

Zhao Yu, who was a friend of the Gao family, was transferred, and the rest could only be thought of on Liu Wei and Cai Jing. Cai Jing was a magistrate and his duty was to monitor whether the prefect violated the law, so it was difficult to speak. Liu Wei was about to leave office soon, so he could ask this old man to give it a try.

Remember that my mother said she would go to see Liu Wei off the day after tomorrow. This was a good opportunity. I took the opportunity to mention it. I think that Liu Wei would not refuse, right?

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he was about to go back, he saw Ding Yunniang secretly looking at him.

"Yun Niang, come here!" Gao Chong greeted him, and Ding Yunniang lowered her head and ran over and shouted: "Little Prince." Her eyes turned red and she was about to shed tears.

"Yun Niang, don't worry. I have asked Gao Wei to talk to the prison in the prison, and they will definitely not make things difficult for your father.

I will go to Zhending the day after tomorrow and meet with Lord Liu Wei, the Senate of the Hebei Xuanfu Envoy, and ask him to come forward to help. You will definitely be able to rescue your father. You can go back first and comfort your family. Your father will be back in less than two days."

"Thank you little prince." Ding Yunniang finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her home.

Gao Chong called Gao Baobao over again and asked him about recruiting militia groups. Gao Baobao shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, our place has been peaceful for a long time; the people have been blessed by us, and every family has no worries about food and clothing; and I am clumsy, so everyone heard that they work hard in the army and are unwilling to participate.

My idea is to wait for Gao Wei to come back and we will go to the refugees to see, where we should be recruiting better."

He Lingxiao nodded and said, "Yes. When I settled the score with my mother two days ago, I found that there were still a lot of river beaches and deserts at home. In this way, you tell the refugees that if they join the army, each family can get 10 acres of desert fields."

"What a fool! This will happen. I'm really afraid that the number of people we recruit will not be enough?"

"Don't worry, our family has nothing else, it's just a lot of land! You should do this quickly, this is the capital to settle down."

The next day, Gao Wei ran back and reported to Gao Chong about his true journey. Dong Cai was a new arrival and had already begun to adjust various departments and replace his confidant, which made Cai Qing feel a lot of pressure.

However, he has not been adjusted yet, so he agreed without hesitation and will take good care of Ding Zhou.

At the same time, Gao Baobao also brought good news. As soon as the news of his recruitment and division of troops was released, many respondents were recruited, and more than 100 people were recruited.

Gao Chong told Gao Baobao to strictly ensure the quality of this team. Some old, young, sick and disabled people must not be recruited. At the same time, he told Gao Baobao to be responsible for exercising the physical strength of these people and to train them personally when he comes back from Zhending tomorrow.

Gao Baobao and Gao Wei quickly agreed and promised to do what the little prince said.

Gao Chong arranged his own affairs and went to study with his mother. Li looked at his son curiously.

She saw everything Gao Chong did in the past two days, which made her feel a little curious. Gao Chong changed a lot during this period. She also wanted to see what surprise her son could bring to her, so she did not intervene and just let him do it.

Gao Chong came to his mother's study and his eyebrows suddenly stretched out, as if nothing had happened. He continued to smile and accompany his mother to read and write.

Li admired his calmness very much, and did not say much, and continued to ask for the calculation method.

The next day, Li was going to go to the city to see Liu Wei off and asked Gao Chong to accompany him. Gao Chong asked Gao Baobao to continue training the people of the militia and let Gao Wei go with him to Zhending.

Li took her personal maid Qiuyue in the carriage, and Gao Chong and Gao Wei followed him on horseback. Two large carriages and several servants behind him were escorting the gifts given to Liu Wei.

They set off in the morning and arrived at Zhending Mansion in about an hour. At the door, a team of Song soldiers were collecting the fee for entering the city. When they saw them coming, someone immediately blocked their way.

"Stop! Pay the city tax, each person is five cents and ten cents for livestock!" A military leader shouted loudly.

A soldier next to him quickly pulled his clothes and said, "Head, this is the chariot and horse of the Gao family. They are descendants of the Xun King, and the country has exempted all their taxes."

"The country has exempted it, but we, Lord Dong, have not exempted it? This city gate tax was personally ordered by Lord Dong. If you want to enter the city, you must pay taxes, and even the king of heaven cannot lose it."

Gao Chong sneered, stared at him and asked, "I'll ask again, are you going to let me go?"

Juntou said without any weakness: "Don't let it go! Without our Lord Dong's order, even if the Heavenly King passes by here, he will have to pay the money obediently."

Gao Chong snorted coldly, and he secretly slapped his mount on the butt. His mount was just an ordinary slow horse, so he could not resist his slap and almost collapsed to the ground.

The slow horse screamed and rushed towards the military head.

"Doway, the horse is shocked!" Gao Chong exclaimed, as if he was trying to control the war horse, but in fact he was killing the military head fiercely.

The military leader was Dong Cai's old army and a veteran of the war. He followed Dong Cai to Zhending Capital and became a grassroots officer.

He saw Gao Chong rushing over, his body bowed like a beast, and his hand was also held on the hilt of the knife.

Gao Chong had sharp eyes and his hand was already touching the big gun hanging on the horse. As long as the guy on the opposite side dared to draw his sword, he could take his opponent down with one shot.

Juntou saw the evil aura in Gao Chong's eyes and the rushing horse. Finally, he finally timidly and jumped away to the side.

Gao Chong's war horse came to him and pulled the reins suddenly. The galloping horse was nailed to the ground, and no matter how hard it struggled, it could not move.

Gao Chong sat on the horse and looked at him proudly, stabbed the big gun in his hand and inserted it under the roadblock, then suddenly lifted it. The roadblock made of logs flew as high as the city wall, and then shattered with a rumbling sound.

These Song Bings almost glared out. They needed two people to move the roadblock. Even the mighty military leader was a little troubled to move it by himself. But the little prince immediately picked him into the sky. Could it be that he was the reincarnation of the overlord?

Juntou was so scared that his legs were weak. He was trembling and could not speak. He watched Gao Chong and others enter Zhending City. Gao Chong's joking eyes made him feel a little uncomfortable, but after a long period of hard work, he didn't dare to take a step forward.

Li lifted the curtain and looked at his son who showed his power outside. He was becoming more and more like the ancestor of the Gao family. Perhaps the glory of the Gao family can really be restored in his hands.

Liu Wei's home lived on the east side of Zhending City. Gao Chong and the others entered the city and headed straight to Liu Wei's home.

Walking on the spacious street, they can still see bustling pedestrians. The former magistrate Zhao Yu was a clean and upright official, and he managed the city well. The people also lived and worked in peace and contentment, and were filled with a prosperous scenery.

Dong Cai had just taken office as the prefect, and through Tong Guan's recommendation, he was also aware of the affairs of Zhending Military and State, and was in charge of the military and political affairs in Zhending Mansion. If he wanted to master those Zhending troops, Liu Wei must not stay, so he had urged Liu Wei many times to quickly trade military power.

Today, he finally handed over the military power with Liu Wei and took 5,000 soldiers into his hands.
