Chapter 120: Bandit 2

When Liang Daya and the others arrived at the cottage lobby, the night owl was also discussing with his henchmen whether to surrender, seeing Liang Daya coming over, the night owl was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up to greet him, and said: "Brother Liang, come here, we are all preparing to surrender, you come to give everyone an idea, how to surrender in order to please the Daxing army." ”

Liang Daya sneered in his heart, and walked over without changing his face, his hand already holding down the handle of the knife.

Suddenly, he pulled out his long knife and slashed at the night owl, who was defenseless, his neck had been cut by him, blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

The thieves in the house were overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events.

Liang Daya shouted: "Kill!" ”

Fifty people at the same time showed their weapons and rushed towards the thieves in the house, and suddenly the screams in the house were repeated, these old thieves were extremely fierce, and they attacked suddenly, and the night owl's men were caught off guard, and they were killed in a moment.

The bandits outside the house heard the movement, and after a while, dozens of people rushed in, but their leaders were all killed, and at this time, the dragons were leaderless, and they were all at a loss, staring blankly at everything in front of them.

Liang Daya said loudly: "Brothers, the night owl wants to betray everyone and surrender to Daxing, he has been killed by us, if you want to live, just follow Lao Tzu!" ”

As he spoke, he strode out of the lobby, and the group of thieves dared not stop them, silently following behind their team.

Outside, the hundreds of people gathered in the cottage looked at Liang Daya in amazement.

Liang Daya raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, Daxing is helping the landlords, and we and the poor can't surrender, and I want to live with Lao Tzu to join the king!" ”

The old thieves under his command glared at the group of exiles viciously, and shouted in unison, "Come with us for your life!" ”

Then he led the team into the treasury, divided the silver and money, set fire to the cottage, and fled westward.

……

Guan Changfeng looked at the blazing cottage in front of him in a daze, he was the first time he encountered such a fierce bandit, and he was so ruthless that he burned his own cottage.

The fire blocked the road of pursuit, but the straight jump of the Guan Chang's spirit was in vain, so he had to lead people to chase around the road, and personally led the cavalry to catch up with some of the bandits running behind.

These people are more greedy, and they take too much grain, gold and silver, and they are caught up if they don't go quickly.

Although it was not for nothing, the gain was minimal, Guan Changfeng couldn't cry or laugh, his dream of being free in the cottage was completely shattered, and he had to return with a small amount of prisoners and booty.

……

Laizhou City, the prefect's yamen, Daxing's court discussion is still ongoing, this time Yang Xin brought back more than 20 old citizens from the capital, including Tian Laobo, Chen Damiang, Wei Wu and other personal guards, as well as a large number of family members.

Yang Xin is ready to slowly install them one by one in the high position of Daxing, therefore, above the court, as if returning to the original appearance in the capital, Yang Xin said: "This king decided to set up a business division, doing business in various places in Daxing, Uncle Tian is the first shopkeeper, and Aunt Chen is the second shopkeeper, and the organization establishes various business names. ”

The ministers were a little confused, people in this era still don't quite understand what a state-owned enterprise is, and they don't know how to operate it, even Fan Yuxuan on the side was dumbfounded, she had never heard of any court would set up such a strange institution, and the position of an official was actually the shopkeeper!

The gentry's brains are relatively easy to use, and they are the first to react, they realize that Yang Xin is going to open a business and grab business with themselves, this is too terrifying to think about, the court will pay to set up a business, so what business do you want to do, isn't it easy to handle?

The most important thing, listening to Yang Xin's meaning, the business will involve all aspects of the people's lives, it is simply all-encompassing, all in one net, when Daxing Qian Zhuang was first set up in Daxing, it almost wiped out the money village opened by the gentry, and now there is a business name division, where do the gentlemen still have a way to live.

Li Anbo did not hesitate and was the first to stand up against it.

"King Huixing, the old man has never heard that the imperial court wants to establish a business name to do business, will such an act compete with the people for profit and cause resentment among the people?"

Yang Yubu was the second to come out against.

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the imperial court operated a business name, which is really insulting to the national body."

Suddenly, the local tyrants all reacted, and they all seconded the objections, and there was a smell of gunpowder in the court.

And Uncle Tian, Mrs. Chen and others were surprised, they did this in the capital, and they made a smile one by one, how did they get to their own court, so it didn't work?

Mrs. Chen was the most hot-tempered, and immediately said angrily: "What is insulting to the national body, the old lady has opened more than 100 shops in the capital and Lao Tiantou, making more than 10,000 taels a month, and the money earned is not shared by all shareholders?" You still have so much when you have money to share? ”

Uncle Tian also hurriedly said: "Yes, the earliest citizens of our Daxing were all street sellers, and if they don't open a business to make money, what do they rely on to make money?" ”

As soon as the two spoke, the people with bare ass echoed one after another, and Daniel Zhang first stood up and said, "Elder Tian is right, the governor of Pontus used to follow King Xing to sell grain in the streets and alleys, and now the business is bigger, and there are many people, and the business that can definitely make money must be done." ”

As soon as Daniel Zhang spoke, all the military generals seconded and agreed, but no one objected, not even silent.

A group of generals have learned to be smart this time, as long as someone proposes a profitable business, they will directly seconded and agreed, anyway, they don't have to do it themselves, and it is stupid to sit and wait for the good thing of sharing the money not to approve.

A group of national treasure-level veterans and citizens spoke one after another, and immediately suppressed the wave of opposition from the gentry, and the two sides were tense, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Yang Xin looked at the two parties in the court, pondered for a moment, and still had the same style, everything should not be too intense, appropriate concessions, and boiling frogs in warm water was the best policy.

So he waved his hand to stop the debate in the court, and said to Li Anbo: "Rest assured, the business they operate does not have any privileges, and they pay taxes as well as ordinary businesses, and there will be no competition with the people." ”

In fact, the business name opened by the imperial court does not need privileges at all, as long as it is backed by the imperial court, it cannot be many times more convenient than the private business, not to mention anything else, just say that everything that needs to be dealt with with the yamen will be much more convenient, and the orders of the imperial court will naturally give priority to their own business name, which is an incomparable advantage in itself.

Li Anbo was a little relieved, if the business operated by their firm company paid taxes like ordinary firms and had no privileges, the impact on him would be much smaller.

The gentry now have no land to plant, and they rely entirely on business for personal gain, and now most of their energy is spent on running the land of the Daxing Imperial Court, but these benefits are shared by all the people, and they are public benefits, which are naturally not as important as private businesses to themselves.

However, seeing the surging emotions in the court, especially the generals collectively agreed, they suddenly had no courage to continue to oppose it, so they had to say: "As long as King Xing can ensure that the business name division competes fairly and operates legally, the old man has nothing to say." ”

Yang Xin has already made concessions, and a group of local tyrants have to compromise, the situation in front of them, the veteran people unanimously agree, the army supports them, and Yang Xin supports it, it is useless to oppose it, and if you are in a hurry, you will only ask for your own hardships.

After all, the main assets of the local tyrants are now the shares of Daxing, and the profits of the business name are also shared, so that the losses are relatively small, which is equivalent to the business occupied by the original local tyrants, which was shared by the imperial court.

All the local tyrants, look at me, I look at you, seeing that Li Anbo has compromised, the others were suddenly coaxed, and they only confessed, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing.

The matter was finalized, Yang Xin didn't have the energy to take care of these inns, grain stores, grocery stores, cloth stores and other miscellaneous businesses, so he decided to let them play freely and test the reactions of various forces first.

And the Fan family also led a large group of men and horses to build a musket workshop in Laizhou City as planned, and after arranging all this, Yang Xin asked Wei Wu to rush to Weihaiwei with a hundred personal soldiers and Fan Yuxuan, and Hei Zishuai led the personal barracks to guard Laizhou City.

……

Weihaiwei Wharf, two sea ships docked like huge sea beasts, the port has not been built completely, now only the basic construction of the wharf, housing and warehouses and other facilities on the shore, the people are still busy building.

Today, there was a fierce group of Eight Banners soldiers lined up next to the wharf, and many people were frightened.

Next to the Eight Banners is a neat musketeer, all musket configuration, and the leading general is tall, it is Jiao Xuewen, the chief soldier of the Daxing Water Army.

A tall, well-dressed young man walked up to the general with a group of personal soldiers.

"Mr. Jiao, go, send someone to change the Daxing Flag and the Daqing Flag on the ship, and replace them with the Daming Sun and Moon Flag!"

Yang Xin glanced at Jiao Xuewen, Jiao Xuewen was stunned, but he didn't ask, and immediately sent soldiers.

Fan Yuxuan, who was on the side, also widened her eyes and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
