Chapter 4 - Here Comes the Bandits
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was gradually becoming lively, Zhang Yun also let out a long sigh.
The trust of the common people is hard to gain, but once they have gained their trust. As long as there are no problems on their own. In that short period of time, this trust will not be a problem.
Especially these people, for a long time to come, will still be struggling with food and clothing.
Even if you have any ideas about the industry you have set up here. They don't have the ability to make trouble.
On the other hand, Lan Jing, the chief officer of the Daejeon Military and Civilian Thousand Households, is different, and now the iron mine and the coal mine are still petty fights, and he can be solved with money. He was also happy to accept bribes in private and sell the assets of the imperial court.
But as the mine grows larger, so does the number of ingots produced. It's hard to guarantee that this person won't have crooked thoughts!
What's more, mining in private. It is not something that can be put on the table, even if the mining tax of the imperial court at this time is such a ridiculous three or five taels of silver. But it can't stand the local real power faction's snooping on the mine!
At that time, as long as this Lan Jing turns her face, her hard work over the years will probably be in vain!
In my mind, I remembered the time when I drank last night. Intentionally or unintentionally, he revealed that the iron ore here is all high-phosphate iron ore, which is not suitable for forging weapons at all......
But Lan Jing at that time was confused, or she was pretending to be stupid!
Perhaps in the eyes of an unlearned and unskilled old man like him, as long as it is iron, it can be used to forge knives. You can make a lot of money. Anything else, it doesn't care.
The scene in my mind, and then compare it with the very hot exchange scene in front of me. Zhang Yun fell into deep thought for a while......
Whether in modern or ancient times, it is very difficult to completely control a person. Unless it's just killed.
But no matter who changes to this position, it is difficult to guarantee, and it will not put its black hand into its own industry.
And the assassination of a chief official may not be a problem. But if there are thousands of households dying in office in a row......
Liu Mingguo completed the task and turned back to the stage. only to find that Zhang Yun's face was uncertain. gritted his teeth for a while, but in the blink of an eye, he smiled again and again. The most important thing is that even Zhang Yun didn't notice himself who was close at hand.
Looking back at the lively scene in front of him and pondering for a while, Liu Mingguo seems to have a little aftertaste!
"Childe, it's a small suggestion, it's better to spend a lot of money to operate it. Our own people will take up the position of the thousand households in this place. Other than that, everything else is thankless and half the effort. You must know that since ancient times, collusion between officials and businessmen is the only way to become bigger and stronger! ”
"This is good, how can the imperial court reappoint another Qianhu to take office? Well, even if Lan Jing died in an accident! But our own people are still in the role of playing tricks in the Thousand Households. How do you go to pick this peach? ”
After Liu Mingguo saw that after he finished speaking, Zhang Yun was not surprised. I'm just afraid that I will work hard and end up making a wedding dress for others. Then his eyes rolled, and two more words popped out.
"Bandits!"
Zhang Yun is such a smart person, Liu Mingguo has just made a start, and he guessed all the words that he didn't say in his stomach.
Where are the bandits coming from around here? Zhang Yun doesn't care about this. If you come here to open a mine yourself, you will always offend the local forces. In this way, there will be bandits!
As for how to make a little minions in the health center quickly promoted to a hundred positions? And after taking out Lan Jing. How do you pay a lot of money to accept everything he has to offer?
Zhang Yun is even less worried about these, as long as the problem can be solved with money, Zhang Yun at this moment. It's already possible to clap your chest and shout loudly. If you can solve it with money, then it is not a problem......
……
In Liujiazhuang in the middle of the night, the original peace was broken, but at this moment, it was a crowd of chickens and dogs. Rumors of the imminent arrival of bandits are rife everywhere!
And immediately after that, the bandits really came. Dozens of torches approaching from the inside of the mountain. It made all the people of Liujiazhuang panic.
"Master, let's go, which gang of bandits are about to come in!"
"Didn't you tell Lan Jing to do so? Where is he at the moment? ”
"Ouch hey! Master. At this time, you are still counting on the bitterness of the guard to come to the rescue. It's better for us to escape by ourselves, maybe it's a little more efficient......"
Seeing the old housekeeper chattering beside him, Liu Renfu felt a little regretful for the first time. Usually you shouldn't be too much to suffer from those guards haha. Especially when Lan Jing came to the door to turn her fate, she should give a bowl of leftovers!
However, it is useless to say anything now, and Liu Renfu also doubts, even if he gave Lan Jing grain and grass. Whether those things can reach the mouths of those bitter hahas in the end is still unknown.
And the education from generations of ancestors also made Liu Renfu even if he died. I don't want to give those lowly people a little bit of good.
"Untouchables should be ......raised cheaply" With this idea, although Liu Renfu was afraid of death, he didn't want to cheapen those untouchables.
So on the one hand, he asked the old housekeeper to arrange a retreat, and on the other hand, he asked the old housekeeper to bring all the grain and grass in the house......
This move immediately made the old housekeeper dumbfounded on the spot!
However, before he could figure out how to persuade him, this ordinary character was the old man who reached out for money in the coffin. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Seeing this, Liu Renfu thought that his own family worker was so discerning, and before the old housekeeper could give instructions, he already knew to help his family transfer property. It's just a head-up.
"Ahh Who the hell are you people? Why did you get here? And hurry up and put down the things on your hands and shoulders......"
watched the men coming in and out carrying their belongings, but there was no familiar face among them. Liu Renfu immediately jumped up.
However, this is of no use, even if the old butler is already hoarsely calling other subordinates to come and drive these away, it does not look like a man from his own family. This group of men still went their own way, completely ignoring the two people who jumped up and down.
Every load of grain and every batch of cloth carried by these men made Liu Renfu's heart like a knife...... Just as I was about to jump out of the lobby and clean up this group of grass people in person. With a few clear dragon groans. Several snow-bright long knives appeared in Liu Renfu's eyes.
"You... We... What do you want to do? Let's Liu ...... "Liu Renfu only thought that these men would be like the previous long-term workers, although they were strong, they were afraid of themselves like tigers. But at the moment, under the long knife of Xue Liang. Liu Renfu couldn't even finish his words.
"Hey...... Master Liu, you stay in the lobby obediently, don't go anywhere. We're sure you're safe. But what happens when you run around in the dark? That's hard to say! ”
After the bandits threatened, Liu Renfu heard that he didn't want his own life. Immediately nodded in agreement. Cautiously retreated into the lobby, not seeing the rampant just now. I only want to laugh at the bandits.
"It is true that I don't want your life now, because the person who wants your life is the rescuer in your eyes......"
