Chapter 898: Guo Xiaoke's Revenge (I)

Three days later, Fang Jun sent a group of useful men from the Fang family caravan to Suzhou to set up a stall in Rudong County, and began to buy kelp and promote it to the world......

The people of Rudong County are completely crazy!

The kelp that our ancestors have used to feed pigs for generations still has miraculous medicinal effects? Even the old fairy Sun Simiao said that this kind of thing that grows in the sea can prevent big neck disease, so it must not be wrong! It's a pity, after so many years, what people don't eat is still so useful.

Of course, the most important thing is that this thing can still be sold for money, a pound and a penny!

Don't think it's less, you must know that in the early middle and early stages of the entire Tang Dynasty, the purchasing power of Kaiyuan Tongbao was very strong. And there are a lot of kelp, as long as there are reefs in the sea, there are as many as you want, as long as you can catch them!

The royal bank took out a loan to buy a boat, and then went to sea to fish or fish for kelp......

Proper rhythm of making a fortune!

The common people are grateful, they are not stupid, this is a loan and the purchase of kelp, all of which are the real benefits brought by this Hou Ye! Therefore, when the sailor pulled anchor and set sail, the whole seaside rushed to the people after hearing the news, and sent baskets of seafood and local products to the boat to express their gratitude.

It's just that the sailors and soldiers all refused.

"The military discipline of the sailor is not allowed to accept gifts from the people without authorization, so please take it back, folks."

"What are you kidding, we believe that the troops don't rob the people, but this is what we voluntarily gave to the Hou Ye and the soldiers, so how can it be the same?"

"I'm sorry, other troops are other troops, our naval division has strict discipline and doesn't take a stitch from the people! If you violate military discipline, you will be severely punished! Folks, your sincerity and thanks will definitely be conveyed to Lord Hou in the future, but everyone have pity on me, I really can't ......accept it."

The soldiers were on the verge of collapse, and they almost fell to their knees and begged.

Military discipline must be recited every day, and one of them is that it is not allowed to collect a stitch from the common people at any time, in any place or under any circumstances!

According to the severity of the Hou Ye, who is tired of being crooked and dares to violate military discipline?

But the common people are willing to come to send consolation materials, which can be called the "pot pulp" in ancient times, and they can't rush it, and they don't dare to accept it, and a few soldiers who are responsible for receiving the people are so anxious that they sweat profusely......

In the end, he still didn't accept it, and Sun Chengen, who rushed to hear the news, persuaded the people to stop, and the sailor set sail smoothly.

Countless warships raised their sails on the sea, rode the wind and waves, and went all the way south.

On the warship, Liu Renliang looked at the patience that gradually disappeared from sight on the shore, and wondered: "This is the people's voluntary thanks to Hou Ye for coming to work in the army, and Hou Ye refuses to accept it, is it a little unkind?" ”

Fang Jun stood in the cabin with his hands in his hands, looked up at the chart hanging on the bulkhead, shook his head and said: "Rules are rules, if you break it once, there will be a time." This time it was the people who came to labor spontaneously, so what about the next time? Today, we can accept the people's materials with peace of mind, but tomorrow, when we are in danger, we will forcibly requisition the people's materials without any scruples. You have to remember that the reason why our sailors are so powerful, and why they dare to say such big words as being proud of the world and crisscrossing the seven seas, is not because of the infinitely powerful firearms, not because of the warships that gallop like galloping horses, but because of discipline, discipline like iron! The military order is like a mountain, even if it is a sea of swords and fires in front, it has to charge forward without hesitation, this is an invincible and invincible army! Without iron-like discipline, no matter how powerful the army is, it is just a plate of loose sand, and when the wind is down, it will win all battles, and in adversity, it will fall apart and be defeated like a mountain! ”

Liu Renliang thought so.

It's not that he doesn't know this truth, since ancient times, which strong army has not relied on strict military discipline to dominate the world? He just thought in his heart that so many people were so enthusiastic, even if he accepted the labor and army materials of this people, it would not be a big deal.

But after listening to Fang Jun's words, he knew that "the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill", and he could not relax in the slightest bit about military discipline.

Liu Renyuan on the side was worried, he was concerned about Huating Town.

"Your Majesty handed over the position of the chief manager to Zhang Liang, and that guy and the Hou Ye had a deep relationship, and at this time they had the upper hand, and they would definitely stir up Huating Town into a miasma and launch a revenge."

Speaking of which, Huating Town is Huating Town, and Canghai Road is Canghai Road.

But in reality, the distinction is not so stark.

Canghaidao itself has no territory and territory, and even the location of the yamen is on the land of Huating Town, and Huating Town is all Fang Jun's fiefdom, so it is difficult to define and distinguish between them. If it is done in strict accordance with the rules, since Fang Jun has resigned from Canghaidao's position, then Canghaidao can completely move out of Huating Town and find another way to take it out.

But Fang Jun didn't do that......

Xue Rengui echoed Liu Renyuan's words: "Yes, Master Hou." That bright eyes will be repaid, and he will definitely oppose Hou Ye everywhere. It's better to say that you are in Huating Town, that guy is just a clown jumping off the beam, and he can't set off any storms. But now that you are at sea, how can that Zhang Liang give up? If you don't play a copy to the imperial court, ask the imperial court to move Canghai Road out of the boundary of Huating Town, and choose another place as its garrison, it will also have a lot less worries. ”

Today's Xue Rengui is no longer as cautious as he was when he first joined the water division, with the improvement of his status and the increasing importance of Fang Jun, he dares to express his own opinions, even when he disagrees with Fang Jun, he does not shy away from it.

I have to say that everyone's worries are actually very reasonable.

But Fang Jun himself had other plans......

"Just let him stay in Huating Town, Canghai Dao is still too weak now, and the imperial court has limited energy to expand Canghai Dao to the required scale. In that case, there must be people who contribute to the cangkaido, right? ”

*****

The autumn breeze in the East China Sea in October is rising, and the cool breeze is blowing, and it has gradually become autumnally cold. However, in the Western Regions in October, it is a scorching autumn day, although the temperature drops sharply at night, and the cold is deep, but the day is still hot and gilded......

It is the time of year when the grapes are ripe.

After the conquest of Gaochang State, the Tang Dynasty built a new city in the northeast of Gaochang City as the seat of the Anxi Protectorate, and at the same time placed the Xizhou Thorn History Mansion here, which became the political center of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions.

Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Liangzhou, the protector of Anxi, the governor of Xizhou, and the head of the march of Xizhou Road, sat in the new Assassin's Mansion built by local businessmen this year, frowning and looking at the letter in his hand. This season of the Western Regions is the second best time of the year after the cold winter, "autumn is high and cool" does not mean that the environment is comfortable, the autumn sun is shining all day, but the rain has not fallen for several months, the climate is hot and dry, unbearable.

Like grapes, if you hang them in a ventilated place, they will dry out in three or two days......

Guo Xiaoke is 48 years old this year, which is a good time for him to be in the prime of life.

A pair of Guan Dao eyebrows are thick and full of murderous aura, and the rectangular face has no smile all year round, and it is strict and restrained. The sturdy body wears a royal blue regular robe, and the collar at the chin is open because of the heat, revealing a bit of fierceness in the majesty.

After a while, Guo Xiaoke slammed the letter paper in his hand on the table in front of him, and scolded through gritted teeth: "Fang Jun, deceive people too much!" ”

The officials in the hall looked at each other, wondering why this most powerful person in the Western Regions could have emitted such a big anger......

And hearing him insult Fang Jun, the officials all jumped eyelids.

Although that Fang Erlang is no longer in the Western Regions, his influence has always demonstrated his unparalleled strength.

In the entire territory of Xizhou, more than eighty percent of the grapes were eventually sold to the Fang family firm and the Dong Datang firm controlled by the Fang family, and almost all the wool was purchased by the Dong Datang firm.

It can be said that the entire economy of Xizhou is in the hands of Fang Jun......

Such a capable person, it is said that the relationship with the big capital protector and assassin in front of him should be complementary to each other, after all, cooperation is mutually beneficial, and no one can swallow such a huge industry by themselves, and cooperation is the best way.

Of course, the secret transactions are unknown to these officials, but in fact, they are not so obscure, as can be seen by looking at the shopkeeper of the Fang family and the shopkeeper of the Dongda Tang Dynasty from time to time in and out of the Thorn Shi Mansion.

But now this Dadu Protector is actually insulting Fang Jun?

Some people with ghosts in their hearts glanced at each other, and their minds came alive.
