Chapter 200: What the Hell, Do You (Part II)
Jiang Feng grinned when he heard this, and under the reflection of the firelight, the other party's bandit leader looked like he was coming up straight from the bottom of his heart, and crawled a few steps forward on his knees, and was kicked over and stepped on by the two iron men behind him, and Chen Deaf struggled on the ground and hissed:
"My lord, my lord, I really don't know it's you, if you do, you don't dare to kill the little one, don't kill me, spare my cheap life!"
When Jiang Feng came back from Jinan Mansion, in addition to bringing Liu Fangrui some gifts from the Liu Mansion, he also bought some clothes and jewelry for the Su family sisters. In addition, I brought something quite surprising. The bandit leader Chen Deaf was still tied to the saddle and brought back.
In the Dengzhou Mansion, Jiang Feng didn't care about resting, and after settling down, he sent someone to invite Liu Twelve to the main hall for discussion, Zhao Xiucai had already been called over, and when the two of them entered the main hall, they saw Jiang Feng's smile on his face, and they didn't know what was going on.
"How much of the grain we said we bought two months ago was official food?"
Zhao Xiucai was stunned for a moment when he asked this question, and hurriedly replied:
"Owner, in addition to the grain that is often closed at this season, there is also grain to buy there, and the grain we bought is all official grain!"
Hearing this expected answer, Jiang Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly a few times, but it was wrong to think about it, here in Dengzhou Ying, although there is a lot of grain bought under various names, it is still more than half of the gap of 250,000 stone that Liu Shunhua said, so the rest of the grain is running there, at this time, it is really impossible to think of such a person who spends money to buy food except for Jiang Feng's own plans.
The two people on the side saw him asking, they both knew that there was still something to do, and they didn't make a sound, Jiang Feng slowly said all the things that should be promised in Jinan Mansion, and when Jiang Feng was halfway through listening to him, Zhao Xiucai was already gray, and he whispered in a dejected voice:
"My lord, even if we spit out our reserves, this food is far from enough, this, how is this good."
Liu Twelve didn't say anything, Jiang Feng's opinion of him was a little higher in his heart, and then he said:
"However, in the past, we have been discussing to bring the two salt farms in Fushan, and this time I have an eyebrow, and I took this opportunity to mention it to Lord Liu, an eight-grade official, since he has a request for me, he will never refuse to agree, but said that he will wait for the vacancy of the salt class."
Speaking of this, Jiang Feng sneered:
"There is a vacancy, when I arrange it, there will be a vacancy immediately."
On the tenth day after Jiang Feng returned, a review was immediately held in the barracks at the foot of Yantai Mountain. Sixteen hundred infantry, three hundred cavalry, and one hundred iron men were trained in the school field. Under the orders of the four thousand households and officers at all levels, these elites advanced and retreated with evidence, and their murderous spirit was soaring.
Watching the review on the earthen platform was naturally the leader of these people, Jiang Feng, but unlike usual, there was a person dressed as a family member next to Jiang Feng who was watching there. Of course, no one will question who Jiang Feng led to see, the school field was full of Jiang Feng's private soldiers, and they had no power to control what Jiang Feng wanted to do.
Jiang Feng looked at the training below, and the encounter with the horse bandits on the official road had already been explained to Jason in detail, and the shortcomings of the replacement rotation of arquebusiers on the battlefield that were easy to cause chaos had been improved, and today's drill was carried out according to this method, and Jiang Feng seemed to have more sword players in this phalanx, and these ideas were verified here.
Everything above is not the point, the focus is on the family who followed and watched, he is Chen Deaf, Chen Deaf was young and vigorous when he first went up the mountain and fell into the grass, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he did many big cases, which naturally provoked a lot of officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress, but fortunately, he ran fast, although he pretended to be a righteous and thin cloud in front of Minions, but when he really encountered something, it was betrayed and did everything with a knife behind his back, so he stayed until today. The number of escapes has increased, and naturally there are many officers and soldiers who know what a strong soldier is and what a straw bag is.
Chen Deaf was now covered in a cold sweat and looked at the well-equipped soldiers of the guard on the school ground, where they changed formations neatly and silently, assassinating or bombarding the targets of the grass and trees, the murderous aura was pervasive, and he couldn't help but tremble all over his body, he just couldn't understand why Jiang Feng didn't kill him, but waited for him to come over.
If it is a happy knife, it will be clean and neat, but he has been imprisoned for ten days for such an inexplicable reason, but today he brought himself to this school field to change into the clothes of the family and watch together, Chen Deaf boasted of his flexible mind, but now he didn't understand what the other party was going to do, and he had no confidence in his heart, and he became more and more afraid.
"What do you think of my soldier?"
When he was suspicious there, he suddenly heard Jiang Feng in front of him ask slowly, Chen Deaf was full of excitement, and hurriedly replied:
"I'm afraid there won't be such a strong soldier in the world, I've never seen it!"
What Chen Deaf said was also from the bottom of his heart, but he became more and more confused about what Jiang Feng was going to do, and the second question was then thrown over:
"If you beat your cottage, what will be the outcome of the battle?"
"Naturally, it is easy to take, how can the rabble under the villain resist the adult's divine army."
No one expected Jiang Feng's next words to be like this:
"I'll give you three thousand taels of silver and all kinds of ordnance, and you pull your pole up again, and I'll find someone to train you, but you have to do something for me."
Hearing these words, Chen Deaf's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, so many years of reckless life, and dealing with the government is also a lot, naturally he knows what he can do and what he can't do. Jiang Feng, who was talking to him unhurriedly in front, was the commander of Dengzhou Dusi, and everyone on the green forest road knew that this Jiang Feng was quite capable of making money, and he had such a strong army under his command.
Such a character actually wants to let himself pull the pole to do some things, those things are not a big crime to raid the house and kill the nine clans, Chen Deaf has fallen into the grass to this day, but he is just trying to be comfortable and happy, there is no shortage of money in his hands, drinking wine and eating meat, but how dare he do such a murderous business.
I thought so in my heart, but the words became:
"Since the adults have ordered it down, the little ones will naturally obey the orders and will not give up."
However, Chen Deaf also made up his mind in his heart, Lao Tzu took the money and moved to other provinces with his family, and when the time comes, you can't find me, and Lao Tzu will be good for the people at that time.
"Your wife and my family have brought you to Dengzhou Mansion, since you will follow the capital in the future, you will naturally not treat your family badly, wait for the school review to disperse, go to Fucheng to see your family."
Jiang Feng said a few words lightly, which made Chen Deaf, who was thinking of ghosts there, fall into the ice cellar, and his whole body instantly fell, and he was speechless for a long time, and after a while, Mu Mu said:
"Adults can afford villains, so they naturally obey orders and never give up."
The sound was so small that it was barely audible under the cover of the sound of firecrackers on the school grounds......
Dengzhou Mansion now knows that there is Jiang Feng, and no one knows that there is Wang Governor's Mansion. In Fushan County, there are not many people who know the county order of Qipin, but Zhou Yu, who is in charge of the salt field of Fushan Salt Farm, is known to everyone. The amount of salt produced by the government-run salt factory is fixed every year.
Moreover, there are strict regulations on the sales of salt in various places, and those who do not sell salt in the specified places are illegal salt, and the punishment for selling illegal salt is quite simple - beheading.
But this bit of salt is enough to eat, so the salt farm is naturally mass-produced in order to be able to eat salt for the common people in the world, and these over-produced salt naturally do not have to pay any taxes to the imperial court, but the price will not be much lower than the official salt, so it is naturally a source of money.
Although Zhou Yu is in a small Fushan County, his food and clothing will definitely not be inferior to the landlords and gentry in the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River, and his mansion is even more luxurious than several families in Jinan Mansion. The salt merchants of Shandong, Shanxi, and Liaodong had to deal with him politely.
The reason is that he controls the salt works, and according to the law, there are fifteen salt workers in each salt factory. But Zhou Yu spent his own money to support more than 150 families, these people are all outlaws on the rivers and lakes, they are obedient to Zhou Yu's words, rich and soldiers, don't look at Zhou Yu is just a small salt class, but in Fushan County, he is also a big man who stomps his feet and trembles around.
Naturally, the ordinary people can do such a position, Zhou Yu's cousin is the governor of Denglai, the real head of a province, but some time ago, because of the matter of King Heng of Qingzhou, he was already recuperating and waiting for a replacement. As soon as the backer behind him fell, Zhou Yu, who was engaged in the salt class, also understood in his heart that there was no reason for this kind of fat difference to continue, but he didn't have any regrets or anything like that.
After fishing here for five years, it is enough, and now it is to move to Yangzhou and Suzhou and Hangzhou, and live the rest of his life well, but Zhou Yu also understands in his heart that the more this time, the more dangerous his rich net worth is, so not only has the number of outlaws under him increased a lot, but also moved from the salt field to Fushan County, although the county town is a low city wall, after all, there are officers and soldiers guarding it.
And no matter how bold a bandit you are, plundering villages is not a big deal, if you attack a city, especially a city with a walled city, it will be a blatant rebellion, and the officers and soldiers will inevitably vigorously encircle and suppress it, and it will definitely be a situation of endless death, and this kind of unhealthy trend cannot be promoted.
In November of the seventh year of Jiajing, Dengzhou was also cold and windy, Zhou Yu ate and drank enough, the fire wall in the house made the whole house hot, and Zhou Yu hugged his eighth concubine and slept there Zhengxiang. I vaguely heard a commotion outside.
The noise outside is getting louder......
