Three Kingdoms: Plundering Entries, From Merchants to Emperors

The next day, at 3:30 a.m., Zhang Chen arrived at the courtyard on time and practiced spearmanship with Gao Shun.

After practicing for more than an hour, Zhang Chen was sweating profusely.

At this time, Wu Guanjia came to report that the porridge market had been opened and was located in the east city market. Yesterday, he recalled several former servants, who were busy in the porridge market with Ping'er.

Zhang Chen was very happy when he heard it, wiped his sweat, and prepared to go to the market to preside over it.

This is a rare opportunity to win the hearts of the people, and it must not be missed.

Before leaving, Zhang Chen did not forget to instruct Gao Shun to send the grain and grass to Qujiazhuang as soon as possible.

Gao Shun took the order and left. Zhang Chen also went back to his room to change his clothes, and then went to the market with Wu Guanjia.

Last year, the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" broke out. Although the Yellow Turban followers were under the banner of "The Blue Sky is dead, the Yellow Sky should be established", there were good and bad among them, and there were also cases of robbing the people.

After the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" was quelled, many bandits and robbers appeared in various places, and they all took the banner of the Yellow Turban and harmed the people.

In addition, natural disasters occurred frequently this year, and under many factors, the number of refugees increased sharply and starved people were everywhere.

But Zhang Chen knew that these refugees would play a crucial role in the competition among various forces in the future.

Because, this is the population!

The strength of a force first lies in its population. Zhuge Liang was so smart, why did he return without success after six expeditions to Qishan? The reason is that the strength of Shu Han was weak, which is not something that can be solved by one person's wisdom.

First, win the hearts of the people, and wait until the county is taken down in the future, so that refugees can be accepted and the population can be expanded. With people, money and food under your hands, you don't have to worry about the failure of the great cause!

The two came to the market and saw a long queue at the entrance of the porridge stall. Ping'er and several servants were busy at the stall. In front of them were several large wooden barrels with steaming white porridge.

The refugees and beggars held broken porcelain bowls and lined up to get porridge.

Zhang Chen walked up, and Ping'er hurriedly said, "Master..."

Zhang Chen scooped a spoonful of porridge from the wooden barrel. The consistency of the porridge was acceptable. Zhang Chen nodded, feeling quite satisfied.

Since it was a good deed, it could not be perfunctory, so as not to chill the hearts of the people.

After a while, more and more refugees gathered in the market. Everyone heard that the Zhang family in Guangping County opened a porridge stall to give out porridge, so the refugees passing by also flocked to Guangping.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Butler Wu also stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, this is the young master of the Zhang family, and also the new head of the Zhang family. As everyone knows, our Zhang family has always been committed to helping the poor. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, we distribute porridge as usual. This is a rule passed down from the old grandfather and has never been interrupted for decades. A few days ago, the Zhang family was in trouble and almost went bankrupt, so they had to stop. Now that the dilemma has been resolved, the young master is kind-hearted and decided to reopen the porridge shop. From today on, the porridge distribution on the first and fifteenth day of the month will be the same as usual!"

"Thank you, Young Master Zhang!"

It must be said that Butler Wu is still eloquent. After this speech, everyone applauded and thanked Zhang Chen.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Chen certainly had to add fuel to the fire.

"Fellow villagers, in recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and the people have been displaced. Zifan saw it with his own eyes, and it was hard for him to suppress his grief. However, Zifan is just a businessman. Although he has the heart to pacify the people, he does not have the ability to pacify the people. He can only donate some money and food and do his best."

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, bowed to Zhang Chen and said: "As a businessman, you do not pursue fame and fortune. It is rare to have such a heart. On the other hand, these county officials are in high positions, but they indulge in pleasure all day long and do not think about pacifying the people and serving the country. Your good deeds today are enough to shame the officials of this county!"

The middle-aged man spoke with a loud voice like a bell.

Zhang Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the man was nearly forty years old, energetic, with clear eyes, wearing a white dress, simple and neat, and carrying a medicine box for doctors on his back.

It seems that this person is not a refugee, but a doctor passing by here.

Zhang Chen felt that this person was somewhat extraordinary, so he immediately opened the "Eye of Insight".

However, the next moment, his expression changed, and there was awe in his eyes.

[Name: Hua Tuo]

[Owned entry: Qingnang Medical Saint (Gold)]

[Qingnang Medical Saint (Gold)]: You are a contemporary genius doctor, with superb medical skills, unparalleled in the world, and all difficult and complicated diseases can be solved in front of you.

It turned out to be the famous genius doctor Hua Tuo during the Three Kingdoms period!

Zhang Chen couldn't believe his eyes.

This old man traveled around the world, practicing medicine to save the world, and it was difficult for ordinary people to find his trace. Unexpectedly, he would appear here today!

Moreover, he is so young, looking only in his forties.

Zhang Chen hurriedly straightened his clothes, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Sir, thank you for your compliment."

Hua Tuo stroked hisWith a beard under his chin, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang is a young talent with unlimited future prospects. I hope you will always keep this in mind and benefit the people in the future."

"I will remember the master's teachings. I must abide by my original intention and never violate it." Zhang Chen said, and bowed again.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and dozens of police officers rushed into the crowd aggressively.

Then, an angry voice came.

"Where did these unruly people come from! How dare you slander your superiors here? Do you want to rebel!"

Zhang Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in official clothes and with a big belly coming over surrounded by police officers.

In the original owner's memory, he had an impression of this person. He was Zhao Xiong, the county magistrate of Guangping County. Beside him, there was a seven-foot man with a waist knife and a fierce look. It was the county lieutenant Guo Dayong.

Zhang Chen knew Zhao Xiong and Guo Dayong.

Zhao Xiong and Huang Wenyi were in cahoots with each other, and when my father was alive, he was often ostracized by them. As for Guo Dayong, he was originally a guard in Zhao Xiong's mansion. After Zhao Xiong became the county magistrate, he recommended him to be the county lieutenant.

Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze over them.

[Name: Zhao Xiong]

[Owned entries: Rich (green), Rich and Unkind (white), Bullying the People (green)]

[Name: Guo Dayong]

[Owned entries: Strong and Powerful (green), Second-rate thugs (green), Lackey (white)]

Alas, they are all garbage entries, none of them are useful.

Especially Zhao Xiong has the entry of [Bullying the People]!

That [Bullying the People] will greatly reduce the people's morale. Zhang Chen estimated that the people of Guangping have long been dissatisfied with him, but because of the power of the official, they dare not speak out.

Seeing that the other party was about to attack, Zhang Chen stepped out and stood in front of Hua Tuo.

"Zhang family boy, what are you going to do? Do you want to rebel?"

Zhang Chen bowed and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Sir, I am distributing porridge to help the people in broad daylight, but you come up and accuse me of rebellion. What's the reason?"

"Hmph! You are gathering here, you must be plotting something bad! Come on, arrest him and interrogate him first!"

With Zhao Xiong's stern shout, the officers behind him immediately stepped forward to arrest him.

You dog official! You really think I am a soft persimmon!

Zhang Chen's eyes were stern, and he shouted immediately: "Sir Zhao! You are confusing right and wrong without any evidence. There are many people present today, and the public will judge who is right and who is wrong!"

"That's right! Master Zhang is kind-hearted and gives porridge to the people. As a county magistrate, you should not praise him, but blame him. It's unreasonable!"

"That's right, Master Zhang is a businessman, and he knows how to help the poor people. What have you, a dog official, done!"

For a moment, the crowd was excited and pointed fingers at Zhao Xiong and the officers.
