Chapter 308: The Southern Jiedushi

Zhennan Jiedushi!

Did I read it wrong?

Ma Mingwen read it again, it was correct.

But what the hell is this "Zhennan Jiedushi"?

Why did the court appoint him as Zhennan Jiedushi?

What's wrong with my brain?

Ma Mingwen sat on the chair with the imperial edict, stunned for several hours, and couldn't figure it out.

The court didn't send a large army to suppress him, but appointed him as Zhennan Jiedushi? And was willing to hand over the seven states of Renzhou, Jizhou, Xinzhou, Raozhou, Fuzhou, Hongzhou, and Chuzhou to him?

Does this mean that the seven states have been recognized by the court and have a bright future?

What does this mean?

Ma Mingwen frowned. He didn't want to have anything to do with the Shuo Dynasty at all.

He just wanted to take his men and horses to seize the states, fight a few battles with the court's troops, and accelerate its demise.

He didn't care whether he was a traitor or a traitor who forgot his ancestors.

His family died so tragically, who cares?

The military advisor saw that Ma Mingwen had not left the military tent for a long time, so he came to find him.

After learning the contents of the imperial edict, he was overjoyed: "Marshal, these seven states are truly ours!"

"Without this imperial edict, these seven states are not ours?" Ma Mingwen was a little disdainful and threw the imperial edict aside.

"No, the Marshal thought, it's better to have this edict than not, right? And now that we have a clear path, it will be more convenient for us to act.

The military advisor was overjoyed. How can it be the same with or without the edict?

The edict is a document recognized by the emperor and the court and announced to the whole country.

Once the various armies knew that the court had issued an edict to Ma Mingwen and officially appointed him as the governor of Zhennan, who would dare to attack him in the name of standing up for the court?

Although the Shuo Dynasty is now in turmoil and in danger, the imperial power is still there, and the scoundrels still dare not act too rashly.

Good, it's really great!

After listening to the military advisor's persuasion, Ma Mingwen also realized that with this edict, he would be much more convenient to act.

Although he still disdains it, it will be more convenient for his subordinates to act.

He now has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and he can't just think about himself.

No one would say he was a traitor and a traitor when he did many things. No one would say he was a traitor and a traitor. Then he would not have to be restrained.

Before, he did not dare to let go of his hands and feet when recruiting some civilians into the army.

The news of Ma Mingwen being appointed as the governor of Zhennan spread immediately.

It was completely different to join the army under the governor of Zhennan or to join the rebel army.

As soon as Ma Mingwen's title of governor of Zhennan was announced, the rebel army and civilians from all directions came to join him.

Soon, Ma Mingwen's troops increased from 20,000 to 50,000, then to 80,000, and then to 100,000. He immediately became strong.

Ma Mingwen had the imperial edict of the court, and his identity was recognized. Pei Nian and Su Qing'an were very happy for him.

Ma Mingwen was able to do things more conveniently, and Pei Nian and Su Qing'an were also the same.

Pei Nian no longer had to worry about not receiving the superiors' The letter was in a state of panic.

Renzhou was under the jurisdiction of the Jiedushi of Zhennan, which was a much higher position than the governor, and with the protection of 100,000 troops, what was Renzhou afraid of?

Dare not grow crops, afraid of trouble from scoundrels?

Not true.

After Renzhou was released, Pei Nian was like a bird whose cage was opened, and he immediately felt refreshed. He was ready to spread his wings and fly high. He immediately began to make big moves and vigorously develop the people's livelihood economy of Renzhou.

The people of Renzhou were settled, the roads were peaceful, and the merchants were willing to come to Renzhou and the surrounding cities to do business.

Renzhou City immediately became visibly prosperous.

Ma Mingwen was appointed the Jiedushi of Zhennan, and Su Qing'an was even happier.

She originally just wanted to quietly make some small money, save it, and then have enough food to eat, often have money in her pocket, and be able to go out freely, that's all.

The little old man The common people have no ambition to dominate the world.

Her godfather has become a military governor and has an army of 100,000. What is she afraid of?

Are there not enough people in the mine?

Recruit!

Immediately put up a notice to recruit people.

Six hours a day, one day off, one tael of salary a month, food and accommodation, three meals a day, and two sets of new clothes a season. If you work for half a year and want to go home, you will get another two taels of travel expenses.

Damn, as soon as the notice was put up, not only inside the market town, but also at the entrance of the market town, there was a long queue.

The mountains around the market town were full of people, and the mountain people came to line up overnight.

I was afraid that I would be late and miss such a good thing.

Renzhou was peaceful. Manager Ding was chatting happily with the village owners with his men and wandering around the shops of each village, wanting to see what fresh mountain products each village had, so that they could buy and transport them out to make money.

Ask them what they need, and help them find it from outside the mountain, and make another fortune.

They were chatting happily and noisily, but when they turned around, they saw that the door was blocked by people and they couldn't get out!

What happened?

He squeezed over to ask, what?

When did they recruit people to go mining, and they all rushed to go?

Aren't they afraid of going without coming back?

Has the world changed?

Shopkeeper Ding was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time because of the dense crowd.

He stood on tiptoe to look at the sign... Well, he couldn't see it.

It's okay, just because he can't see it doesn't mean he can't hear it.

There are almost no people in the mountains who can read. Once the notice is posted, Xiang Zhen orders people to stand on the chair at the door and read it to the mountain people from time to time.

Shopkeeper Ding heard it and thought, damn, when did the treatment for mining become so good?

If he wasn't working at Yongfenghao now, the treatment was not bad, he would have wanted to apply.

Madam Su, this brain... Tsk tsk, what's she thinking.

Look at this crowd again, there are so many people, he wants to find a mine for his boss.

Suddenly an idea came to him, so many people, they need food, drink, clothes, and supplies...

He slapped his thigh, mother!

Quick, let someone send more oil, salt, cloth and other daily necessities. Quick!

He gave orders repeatedly.

So many people! Mother, thank Madam Su. His Yongfenghao's profit this year will definitely be able to reach a higher level!

Although the business in Renzhou City is now several streets ahead of other states, who would complain about the lack of money? Aren't the generous dividends at the end of the year attractive?

Doesn't he want it?

He must have it. He immediately ordered his men to go back to Renzhou City to transfer the goods.

Su Qingmei didn't know what Shopkeeper Ding was thinking.

I just thought that Renzhou was stable, and I could do some things freely, and I didn't have to be so secretive about the iron mine.

Who would have thought that the recruitment notice I just posted would have so many people that Xiang Zhen and several of his men were almost squeezed to death.

In just two days, 300 people were recruited and sent to the iron stone pit one after another.

Although recruiting people from outside, you may not even have to pay monthly wages, and countless people will want to come just to provide food and drink.

But Su Qing'an still wanted to recruit people in the mountains.

Now that it's the slack season, the mountain people living in this mountain are all under her jurisdiction, and she naturally wants to make them rich first.

You still have to protect your own people first, and make them rich first.

She has gained a lot from this group of mountains and these mountain people, so naturally she wants to give back to them.

In addition to not having to be so secretive about digging iron and stone, other things can naturally be done boldly.
