Chapter 450: What is the intention of buying people's hearts?

"County Magistrate Fang, dare to ask if you are still worried about the salvage?"

Listen to what you mean, as if you have a solution? The magistrate of Fang County immediately became interested. After inviting the other party to sit down, he smiled and said, "Yes! It's distressing. ”

"County Magistrate Fang, in fact, you don't have to worry, although Boss Xiao is solid, he is not the most solid in this water."

Fang Jue's interest increased greatly, and he smiled: "Who is the most powerful?" ”

Zhang Laosi said firmly: "The Peng family's father and son! ”

Get! went around and around, and then circled back to the Peng family's father and son.

"Be specific."

The prosperity and prestige of Flying Shark Village today is really the result of the Peng family's father and son's hard work.

At the beginning, after the subduing of Flying Shark Village, many people in Shendao Town and its surrounding areas were afraid of being taken advantage of by the Wang family to collect heavy taxes, and would rather go upstream to delay time and business opportunities, and also change their course. Although the Peng family and his son tried their best to show everyone that the Wang family would not collect heavy taxes, some large merchants still had scruples - this is not only a matter of tax collection, but also other factors.

In desperation, the father and son of the Peng family thought carefully, and in the end, relying on the courage of the masters, they acted according to the rules of the rivers and lakes: they fought in Shendao Town for ten days, and they competed every day. Whoever can win Peng Shuihu will not only get a reward of 10,000 oceans, but in the future, whenever the fleet he leads passes by the territory of Flying Shark Village, not only will he not take a penny, but he will also take the initiative to protect his safety in the territory. However, if you lose, you have to pay taxes according to the rules of Flying Shark Village, and you must not deliberately avoid the waterway of Flying Shark Village for no reason, otherwise, don't blame Flying Shark Village for killing people and overstepping goods. If within ten days, no one in this water area can defeat Peng Shuihu, then all the fleets or merchants who rely on water transportation in this water area must follow the above rules.

Shendao Town can prosper for thousands of years, mainly relying on the waterway, there are naturally a lot of good hands in the water, hearing that someone dares to be so bold and reckless to suppress the many water heroes in Shendao Town, who is willing to be convinced for a while?

It's just that the battle between Peng Shuihu and the piranha is famous all over the world, so the real good players are waiting and watching, hoping that others will go to the ring first to touch Peng Shuihu's confidence for themselves - although that battle was blown to the sky, but after all, he didn't see it with his own eyes, and those who are conceited and skilled will not retreat?

In the first three days, all the little feet were easily beaten down by Peng Shuihu. Later, it was the master who competed, and as a result, whether it was the speed of swimming, the depth and time of diving, or the water battle, none of them could support Peng Shuihu for ten minutes, which was a sensation.

In the end, even a water master like Boss Xiao couldn't stand everyone's pleading, so he had to come forward to fight. As a result, they were defeated.

On the ninth day, no one dared to go into the ring.

On the tenth day, the Xiao family brothers, on behalf of the small rivers and lakes of Shendao Town, bowed their heads to Peng Shuihu euphemistically, admitting that he was the first in underwater kung fu. And the father and son of the Peng family also went to the road, bluntly saying that they joined the Wang family, and they will be locals in the future, if there are outsiders bullying the locals, as long as they can still move, they will not stand idly by. In one fell swoop, it won the favor of everyone, dispelled the hostility of the subconscious to the Flying Shark Village, that is, since then, the local sailors are willing to pass by the Flying Shark Village, and the Flying Shark Village is in line with the principle of small profits and quick turnover, the tax is very light, and vigorously ensure the safety of everyone's waterway, and successively for the two water bandits robbery cases that occurred in this water bandit, not only recovered the goods, but also subdued the two water bandit cottages, which was praised by everyone, so far, the Flying Shark Village has really prospered.

"Are they really that good?"

"Yes! At that time, Xiao saw it with his own eyes, and he was very shocked that Brother Peng's underwater kung fu was so good...... The little ones have also run some places and seen a lot of boastful water masters, but the little ones dare to say that their little effort is not even worthy of lifting shoes for Brother Peng. Brother Peng's water kung fu is not an exaggeration to say that he is a god. My lord, if you really want to ask someone to go into the water to salvage in Screw Beach, I think, except for Brother Peng, I'm afraid that no one dares to go into the water, and no one can do this. ”

As soon as he heard this, Fang Jue was angry and funny: it was precisely because Peng Shuihu was in the Wang family that the Wang family was suspected of the shipwreck; What's ridiculous is that this is an inexplicable irony: if as previously guessed, it was the Peng family father and son who sank the two big boats, and as a result, they had to ask them to help investigate, but others didn't have that ability, and at that time, the good or bad didn't depend on their mouths - it's the same as obviously guessing the murderer, but having to ask the murderer to track down the murderer, and having to let the murderer be the judge to make a verdict, isn't this a joke?

Seeing Fang Jue sighing, Zhang Laosi, who had not yet woken up, asked suspiciously: "My lord, I know that you have a very good relationship with the Wang family, as long as you open your mouth, the Wang family will definitely ...... Will ......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Laosi came to his senses: wasn't it the Wang family's fleet that protected the two big ships that had an accident at that time? Now that the county magistrate Fang's heart is being investigated, everyone can guess it, and they naturally understand that they are suspicious of the Wang family.

"It's the small ones that are not well thought out, and they make a mess for the adults, and the small ones will say goodbye, farewell!"

Zhang Laosi said as he hurriedly retreated to the door. But as soon as he retreated to the door, Fang Jue sneered and said, "Zhang Laosi, you help me to pass the order, and when the big boat sends Boss Xiao and them back, we will go to the Flying Shark Village to have a look." ”

"Your Excellency, ...... You...... Are you going to Flying Shark Village? ”

"Yes!" Fang Jue nodded and asked, "When I came, I heard that the Peng family's father and son rented a few big boats in the town at noon yesterday, saying that the Wang family had a batch of grain that had just been transported to the Flying Shark Village from outside, and they were going to transfer it back. Isn't that the thing? ”

"Yes! The little one was playing cards with someone on the dock when he saw them get on the boat and set off. After speaking, he said with some doubts: "If you want to salvage things in Screw Beach, out of the personnel, there are absolutely no salvage equipment such as crane arms, and these things can't be put into the cabin, but I haven't seen the small ones?" ”

After thinking about it, Fang Jue said with a smile: "Salvage, you don't have to rely on these things...... Okay, when we get to the Flying Shark Village, let's take a look, won't we? ”

After tossing back and forth, going down the river, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, arrived at the Flying Shark Village.

"Zhang Laosi, are you sure you didn't bring me to the wrong place? Is this really a flying shark village? ”

It is no wonder that Fang Jue was so surprised, the Flying Shark Village at this time was no longer what it used to be: on the big mountain on which the Flying Shark Village rested, countless wooden piles the thickness of thighs were built into a city wall, surrounding the entire Flying Shark Village on three sides, and there were not only watchtowers on it, but also spearmen patrolling back and forth. The layout of the Flying Shark Village is also very perfect, the residential area is on the left, the office area is on the right, and the training area is in the middle, neatly arranged, spacious and bright, and even more absolutely is that all the residences face the river, but behind it is a three-meter-high house wall connected, intentionally forming a second defensive wall.

And outside the Flying Shark Village, that is, the empty area that was one or two hundred meters away from the river, it played a key role at this time: on the left is a small ship repair yard and an empty large freight yard, extending to the river, and there are two docks, one large and one small, the big boat that has just arrived is parked on the small pier, and someone is loading the ship to check, and on the big pier, hundreds of porters are transporting goods to the dock like ants. The rest of the places are still under development. And on the river, dozens of cargo ships of various sizes are docked there, either waiting to be inspected, or waiting to be loaded and unloaded.

Orderly, prosperous and stable, this is a cottage of water bandits, and it is simply a wharf with developed commerce.

"My lord, this is indeed the Flying Shark Village. After the vigorous rectification of the Peng family's father and son, and the Wang family's use of natural disasters to recruit a lot of laborers and craftsmen to build here, it has today's achievements. Zhang Laosi pointed to the large open area and explained: "My lord, look there, it is the place where someone is measuring the land with a soft ruler. I heard that the head of the Wang family planned to build some inns there and form a commercial exchange area there. ”

I said why did someone report that some victims disappeared for no reason after arriving at the Wang family's territory, and their feelings were secretly recruited here - in fact, the Wang family gave good treatment to the recruited craftsmen and migrant workers, but asked them to keep it secret, so even if someone asked their families, their families would be afraid that these people would grab jobs from their families, and they were vigilant and adopted a unified voice: I don't know! As a result, the spies who came to inquire had no choice but to reply to Fang Jue with two words - missing.

Seeing that the Flying Shark Village was so prosperous, Fang Jue was shocked, and then his hands and feet were cold: since ancient times, anyone who buys the hearts of the people, no matter who it is, will only be considered to mean one thing - rebellion! Coupled with such a prosperous economy and human support, once Wang Shihua wants to rebel, he will not say whether it will succeed or not, but it will definitely make the surrounding provinces suffer.

Immediately, Fang Jue thought of a possibility: if Wang Shihua really wanted to rebel, then after the spring of next year, when the catastrophe was at its worst, it would be the best opportunity. No way! You have to prepare for it yourself. In the past, Wang Shihua said that the increase in population was to fight against the other three, Fang Jue not only took it for granted, but also planned to encourage the Wang family to fight with the other three. But if Wang Shihua has a long-term vision, or if he wants to rebel against himself, that is another meaning, as the county magistrate of this county, how dare he not treat people too much?

Zhang Laosi, who was still on the side, was still not interested, so he shook his head and said with envy in his eyes: "My lord, I won't tell you, when this place is built, it will definitely be extremely prosperous, and I plan to come here to make a living...... Here, except for a few simple rules stipulated by the royal family, life is absolutely free. ”

"What's the rule?"

Zhang Laosi was probably too obsessed with the good days ahead, and when he didn't hear Fang Jue ask, his tone was a little heavier, but he replied happily: "If you want to find a job here and live a stable life, you must first be loyal to the Wang family!" The second is not to disobey the orders of the head of the family......"

Before he finished speaking, Fang Jue interjected: "Find something to do, eat together, and still have to be loyal?" ”

"Of course, the Wang family has invested so much manpower and material resources, and they can't cheapen outsiders in vain, and the first thing to take care of is naturally their own people...... My lord, I won't hide it from you, I am applying, and I believe that it will not be long before I can move my household registration to the Wang family. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart! Fang Jue was horrified in his heart, but resisted the urge to scold his mother and asked, "Your family agrees with you doing this?" ”

"Don't talk about my family, even our first (ten households) agreed, and even the first head submitted an application to the Wang family to join. As soon as the head of the Wang family agreed, we immediately sold the land and moved over. ”

Judging from the fact that all the top and bottom families are willing to join the Wang family, this is no longer a trivial matter of one household and two households, and if it is not done well, it will really evolve into a rebellion.

Thinking of this, Fang Jue's face was gloomy, and his eyes were shining brightly at the prosperity of Flying Shark Village, as if he had seen a river of white bones and blood, listening to Zhang Laosi's nagging...... Here's the trouble!
