The next day, Liu Juntao ordered Zhang Xiaojun to lead a general army to garrison Anshan Town, fully take over the Liu family's property in Anshan Town, and use Anshan Town as an important stronghold of himself.

And Liu Juntao himself, together with Gao Ran and Chen Ziping, led the remaining two general men and horses to return to Yushanji with Liu Zi'an's family and hundreds of captives.

Before leaving, Liu Juntao instructed Zhang Xiaojun: "Xiaojun, this Anshan Town is an important place, which extends in all directions, and is close to Dongping Prefecture, which is very important to the development of our Yushanji. When you are stationed here, you must manage this place well, and in the future, this Ansan Town will be the bridgehead for us to continue to develop southward! In addition, after I go back, I will send Tang Yu over as soon as possible to take over the properties left by the Liu family. ”

Zhang Xiaojun nodded and said, "Big brother, don't worry, with me, this Ansan Town must be as stable as Mount Tai!" ”

Liu Juntao was also relieved when he saw this, after all, he still believed in Zhang Xiaojun's ability very much. Subsequently, Liu Juntao led a large group of men and horses to leave Ansan Town, and all of them went north.

After that, Zhang Xiaojun began to investigate Ansan Town and took over the town's defense matters in an all-round way.

At the same time, according to the arrangement made by Liu Juntao before leaving, Zhang Xiaojun also issued a bereavement pension to the young and strong family members of the Liu family who died in the previous night attack, and raised some lonely and widowed people for life, which greatly reduced the resistance of the people of Anshan Town to Liu Juntao.

The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.

A day later, Liu Juntao led a large group of people back to Yushanji, Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui got the news in advance, and had already led the whole village to wait at the head of the village, Tang Yu also hurried back from Huakou Town, and everyone suddenly heard bursts of cheers.

Especially when a truckload of seizures was transported into the village, when Liu Zi'an and other family members and hundreds of prisoners were escorted into the village, all the villagers of Yushanji shouted vigorously, and Liu Juntao's prestige rose in an instant.

Seeing this situation, Liu Zi'an's family members were all lonely, and some even cried incessantly, looking very miserable. The hundreds of captives also had gloomy faces, and all of them bowed their heads and said nothing.

However, Liu Zi'an's expression was quite calm, and instead of sighing, he also observed the scene in the Yushan Collection from time to time, especially the quilt factory and walled wall under construction, which aroused Liu Zi'an's strong interest.

Now that the quilt factory in the village has been built, you can see the courtyard full of strong women from the village, gathered together to make uniform clothes for the guards.

Liu Zi'an paid attention to it, and looked at the style of the uniform, which was bright red as a whole, roughly referring to the style of the official army's mandarin duck jacket, which was very conspicuous.

"If thousands of people wore such a uniform and marched in formation, it would be really uniform and extraordinary!"

Liu Zi thought with peace of mind, and even had some yearning.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zi'an was attracted by the craftsmen who built the walled wall not far away.

I saw that these busy craftsmen were different from the craftsmen elsewhere, and used a large number of instruments composed of ropes and small wooden wheels, one end of the rope was tied to the bamboo basket, and the other end was wrapped around the small wooden wheel, and the craftsmen pulled hard, and it was very easy to lift the baskets of rammed earth and pieces of wood to the high wall, saving a lot of time and effort, which made people look amazing.

"Mr. Lian, where did these craftsmen get invited? It's unprecedented! ”

Before Liu Juntao could answer, Chen Ziping on the side said with a smile: "That's called a pulley, and this is not something that those craftsmen can come up with." These pulleys are all drawn by Mr. Lian, who then instructed these craftsmen to make them. Moreover, Mr. Lian used the use of these pulleys to offset half a month's wages, but those craftsmen were very happy. ”

Liu Zi'an was taken aback when he heard this, you must know that at this time in the Ming Dynasty, these eating techniques are all ancestral skills, and they will never leak out easily, how can anyone be like Liu Juntao, who only needs half a month's salary to teach others?

However, Liu Juntao only changed half a month's salary and taught all those craftsmen, this kind of mind and wisdom is not something that ordinary people can have!

At this time, Liu Zi'an is even more convinced that Liu Juntao will be able to develop and grow with Yushanji, and his revenge plan will definitely be realized.

After everyone entered the village, Liu Juntao summoned Guo Yongzhong, Zhang Baigui, Chen Ziping, Gao Ran, Liu Zi'an, and Tang Yu, who hurried back from Huakou Town, to discuss the matter.

After settling the two young men and hundreds of prisoners, everyone came to Guo's house together.

When everyone sat down separately, under the strong advocacy of Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui, Liu Juntao barely made it to the top, and everyone sat down.

I saw that Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui were sitting on the left and right sides of Liu Juntao respectively, and Tang Yu, Chen Ziping and Gao Ran sat down in turn. And Liu Zi'an stood on the outermost side a little lonely, and did not sit down, like an attendant.

Liu Juntao smiled when he saw this, pointed at Liu Zi'an and said to everyone: "Everyone, this is the head of the Liu family in Anshan Town, Liu Zi'an!" From today on, Liu Dangjia is a member of our Yushan Collection, and everyone knows each other today. I'll make an announcement later! ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, but they didn't expect that Liu Zi'an was not only not a prisoner, but also took refuge in him.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

At this time, Liu Zi'an walked to the hall with a calm face, hugged his fists at everyone one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Under Liu Zi'an, everyone will call me by my name in the future." This is the end of the past, and I am just one of Mr. Lian's subordinates in the future, and I hope to be able to assist Mr. Lian with you! ”

Everyone was even more surprised when they heard this, they never expected that the head of the Liu family, who dominated one side, would be so calm and calm!

For a while, everyone looked at Liu Juntao.

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Since Liu Zi'an has taken refuge in him, then let's only talk about the future, not the past!" ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao stretched out his hand and motioned for Liu Zi'an to sit down.

Liu Zi'an hugged his fists at everyone one by one again, and then sat down under everyone.

Then, Liu Juntao said: "I invite you to come over today, mainly to announce three things! ”

"One: I decided to let Liu Zi'an be responsible for all the affairs of Yushan Salt Pond, and in the future, the private salt boiling and sales of Yushan Salt Pond, as well as the liaison with the downstream parties of the illegal salt dealers, etc., will all depend on Liu Zi'an alone!"

"What!"

"Mr. Lian, is this appropriate?"

"Isn't it always a second thought to practice?"

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone expressed their opposition, especially Chen Ziping and Gao Ran, who stood up excitedly.

In fact, it is no wonder that Chen Ziping and Gao Ran are more excited, the two of them boiled private salt under the Wang family before they took refuge in Liu Juntao, and the Wang family is the next family of the Liu family, in fact, the two of them are equivalent to suffering under the exploitation of the Liu family.

And now, after Chen Ziping and Gao Ran took refuge in Liu Juntao, they first destroyed the Wang family, and then defeated the Liu family. But in the end, his brothers and villagers returned to Liu Zi'an's hands, how can this be acceptable?

Liu Juntao naturally understood what Chen Ziping and Gao Ran were thinking, so he said: "I understand your thoughts, you might as well listen to what Liu Zi'an has to say first." But one thing I can guarantee is that the stove owners of Yushan Salt Pond will never be exploited again! ”

Liu Zi'an also stood up, clasped his fists at Chen Ziping and Gao Ran and said: "Please rest assured, after I go to Yushan Salt Pond, the purchase price of all private salt will only rise, not fall, and I will never exploit the stove households." Besides, isn't there still a guard stationed there in the Yushan Salt Pond? Rest assured! ”

Chen Ziping and Gao Ran's hearts were still very uncomfortable, but seeing Liu Juntao's words and guarantees, Liu Zi'an was also sincere, and the two couldn't say anything more, so they could only nod and admit it.

"This second thing is about private salt and local industries. I decided that in the future, the income of all industries in Huakou Town and Anshan Town will be redistributed, except for a few percent of the income of Hu Dexing Zongqi and others in Huakou Town, the remaining income Tang Yu will account for two percent, and the rest will be collected in the village; Tang Yu accounted for 20% of all the industrial income in Ansan Town, and the rest of the income went to the village. In other words, the more income Tang Yu earns from operating these industries, the more money he will get! ”

"And the same is true of private salt, Liu Zi'an accounts for 20% of all the income from the sale of illegal salt in Yushan Salt Pond, and the rest of the income goes to the village!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly exclaimed, they didn't expect Liu Juntao to be willing to make such a bloody capital in order to motivate Tang Yu and Liu Zi'an to work hard to make money!

Liu Zi'an's eyes also lit up, and he secretly said in his heart: "On the surface, it seems that the practice is always losing, but I dare to guarantee that within a few months, Yushanji's income will rise sharply, especially high!" Practice is really amazing! ”

Liu Juntao couldn't help but smile when he looked at everyone's expressions, this was all expected. This set of his own methods was very common in later generations, but it was rare in the Ming Dynasty during the orthodox period, so it is no wonder that everyone was so surprised. As for the effect, we can only wait until practice to see the results.

Then, Liu Juntao said: "One last thing, I have decided to integrate all the prisoners into the escort team; At the same time, Liu Zi'an wanted to recruit the stove households scattered in the reeds of Dongping Lake and the reeds of Yushan as soon as possible while taking over the Yushan Salt Pond, and place all these stove households in the Yushan Salt Pond and Yushan Ji. When the time comes, I will recruit young men from them and make a big expansion of the escort team! ”

At this moment, everyone was stunned, and looked at Liu Juntao's eyes, clearly looking at a deliberately rebellious thief.

Liu Zi'an's heart was even more churning at this time: "Mr. Lian's mind is too big, right?" How many people are there in the Yushan Guards now? At least a thousand hundred! Do you want to continue to expand? Could it be that Lian always wants to build the escort team into an army! ”

Guo Yongzhong also coughed and said: "I said Jun Tao, now our escort team is not only sufficient in number, but also has experienced several fierce battles and is well-trained, is it necessary to expand?" ”

Zhang Baigui frowned and said: "If the escort team continues to expand, I am afraid that we will become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the government and the powerful in various places, after all, the rafters that come out will rot first!" ”

Liu Juntao stood up and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, now our forces have spread all over Huakou Town and Anshan Town, there are gold mountains and silver seas coming in every month, and the escort team also has 1,000 or hundreds of young people to deploy, it can be said that we are already the number one force in the north of Yanzhou Mansion. But are you content with that? ”

"Isn't that enough?"

Including Liu Zi'an, almost everyone asked this question.

"Of course not enough!"

Liu Juntao said loudly: "What I want to do is the number one hero in the Ming Dynasty, and what I want to do is to go down in history!" ”

The crowd was shocked when they heard this.
