Seeing Kong Xun get off the horse, Wang An was very happy that his main logistics force came. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this month's goods are the Kong family, mainly iron, wheat and livestock, after all, Wang An asked the Kong family to prepare in Chang'an, the reason why Wang An stayed in Xinye for ten days, a very important point is that the Kong family's goods should be shipped from Nanyang Wan County, and it will take time to go to Nanjun Ruoxian. Moreover, it is winter, the water level is low, and the ship cannot be loaded too much, which affects the transportation. In fact, regardless of whether there is such a thing as being a yang or not, in order to buy people's hearts, Wang An has to establish his own business network. Wang An's plan was supported by the Li family, the Kong family, the Yuan family, and the Yin family, and this kind of collusion between officials and merchants was undesirable for merchants.

Kong Xun came to Wang An and saluted: "I've seen Mr." Turning around and pointing to the convoy, he said, "This is the first batch of goods, and it will be transported so much every day in the future." There are so many goods, see who dares to move Mr. Wang An looked at these goods, and his heart was also a lot more settled, if he wanted to control Dangyang, the most important thing was to compete with the five wealthy families for the hearts of the people.

With the arrival of the convoy, Shi Duan immediately stopped the drill and sent people to maintain order, because Wang An stipulated that those craftsmen who hired the rest of the military camp were paid daily wages, which could just buy the grain pulled by the Kong family, and the price was one percent cheaper than the outside. Someone also asked about ironware, and Kong Xun came over when he heard the sound and said: "The county lord said that the soldiers and craftsmen who perform well can be rewarded with ironware." For example, whoever recognizes 50 words first can get a needle, 100 words can get a kitchen knife, and whoever writes 500 words correctly first can get the zigzag plow. Kong Xun pointed to a car.

At this time, several soldiers suddenly asked: "Isn't there a reward for those of us who can already read and write?" "Yes," said Wang An, who came to him, "they are illiterate, and if you can teach them, you will get whatever reward these people have received." Starting tomorrow, you will be in each squad as a team leader, and the team leader will be responsible for teaching them martial arts, and the team leader will be responsible for teaching them literacy. ”

"But we're here to be soldiers, not to teach."

"There are so many scholars in the world now, but there are no official positions that can be provided to you? You've been reading books for so many years, is it just to get the extra fifty dollars? Wang An asked rhetorically.

"Because you have never produced a famous teacher or a Confucian in Dangyang County, and you have never produced a high-ranking official in the imperial court. Because the master who taught you is himself a loser, and those who are famous and capable have been recruited by the center and the locality. When you compete with others, you are still losers, and the court recruits officials, without you; Taishou conscripts subordinates, without you. ”

Wang An said to the military camp, "So this official gives you another way, join the army, make meritorious contributions in the army, and become the second battalion Pinghou." ”

"Not all scholars are willing to join the army, can't the county invite famous teachers and Confucians to come and give lectures and recruit disciples?"

Wang An said with a smile: "Yangxiong Yangziyun, who is famous all over the world, will come to Xinye to participate in the marriage of his righteous daughter in a few days, and the official will invite him to come over for a few days." ”

Those scholars exchanged heads and ears, and Wang An even heard someone ask, "Who is Yangxiong?" I couldn't help but shake my head, these people are too lonely and unheard.

"Will Mr. Yang come to be Yang?" One of the gentlemen looked excited.

"He will definitely come, if he doesn't come, the official will also tie him up." Wang An replied. Pointing to the nearby open tunnel, "This official not only wants to repair the military camp, but also rebuilds the county school." ”

At first, when these merchants heard that Wang An planned to sell things to craftsmen and soldiers at a price lower than that of the local area, these people should be watching the monkeys, when Wang An handled the grain for the recruited soldiers and craftsmen, they were a little uneasy, and when the convoy of the Kong family pulled a large number of goods, they felt panicked and went out to find someone to discuss, but the result was not to panic, take a look again.

For several days, there were many people gathered outside the barracks, some of whom had heard that things were cheap, some of whom came from the families of soldiers and craftsmen, who came to see their families, some who heard that soldiers and craftsmen could buy cheap goods, and who came to see if they were recruited, and some of whom were spies sent by local merchants. Seeing this situation, after settling the accounts, Wang An decided to recruit another soldier from Tun, and Shi Duan was appointed as a military marquis.

Shi Duan, who got the news, came to resign from Wang An's position as a guard. Wang An and Shi Duan walked in the barracks, and Wang An asked Shi Duan if there was a suitable person to take over the position of head of the guard. Shi Duan replied: "Chu Yuan is good, his subordinates have fought with him, and his subordinates have worked hard." It's very suitable to be the head of the county's guards. ”

Wang An asked, "Have you checked Chu Yuan?" ”

"Didn't the county zun shoot his subordinates and arrest people that day? At that time, Chu Yuan was practicing martial arts. He just asked his subordinates to compete with him, and if he won, he would go to the lobby to wait for the disposal, and his subordinates fought him that day," Shi Duan replied, "After that, his subordinates went to investigate again, Chu Yuan actually wanted to clear the nearby bandits and benefit his father and fellow villagers." It's a pity that the former head of Dangyang and the head of the Chu family both refused on the grounds that the treasury was empty. Chu Yuan often went to the Qinglou at this time. ”

"Is this person still going to the Qinglou now?"

"I have been locked up by the head of the Chu family for the past few days, and I am not allowed to go out."

Wang An walked a few steps and asked, "Can I really use this person?" ”

"After all, the county is a foreigner, the Kong family, the Li family, and the Yin family are all from Nanyang, their roots are in Nanyang, and they are willing to support the county because it is profitable. Dangyang is just a post station of the county honor, after the county honors leave, the Kong family will also leave with you, and then Dangyang will still be the Chu family. Unless the uncle and grandson eradicate them all, but this is extremely disadvantageous to the uncle and grandson, and it is easy to give the opponent an excuse. The county now has strong reinforcement from the outside and wins the hearts of the people inside, and it is the time to resolve the misunderstanding with the Chu family. If you continue to fight, you will lose both. ”

Wang An asked, "Misunderstanding?" What misunderstanding? ”

"The county respects in his heart that the Chu family is a bandit, and he is careful to watch out for them everywhere, so the head of the Chu family has to resign from the position of thief Cao Peng." Shi Duan replied, "The materials provided by Zheng Rongshi's subordinates have already read it, the Chu family should have colluded with bandits in the early years to eliminate the opponent, but in the past ten years, the Chu family should not have done these things again, otherwise there would be no other four." The subordinates suspect that the head of the Chu family should have a handle in the hands of the bandits, and this is where the head of the Chu family scruples. ”

"Mr. means to win over the Chu family and deal with the bandits together. Let the Chu family be used by me? ”

Shi Duan nodded: "For their own sake, the Chu family will definitely help the county to deal with the bandits with all their might." Moreover, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he had already granted amnesty to the world, and the Chu family was exempt from prosecution even if he was guilty. ”
