Chapter 171: I won't give a penny

Isn't this an umbrella?

It has been like this for eternity.

Fang Jue only knew that the bandits in some places on the border were disguised by officers and soldiers to harass the enemy country.

I didn't expect that there would be such a similar operation in the territory.

"And how much do you want to reward for these things?" Fang Jue's tone was a little unkind.

An Baili sighed: "They don't want much, and they know that they don't dare to be greedy, and they are afraid that they will be exterminated by the government, so they can ignore it." ”

"But the stops along the way...... It also needs to be dotted. ”

"Otherwise, if we add more or less things to the food of our caravans, people, horses, and donkeys, we will miss a big thing."

“……”

"All aspects, that's all."

After An Baili said clearly, he saw the young master's face turned pale, and he knew that this Beijing official did not know the local suffering.

After being silent for a long time, Fang Jue smiled lightly: "Heh, it seems that this time I came out right, and I have seen a lot." ”

Fang Cai An Baili said, Fang Jue just thought about it, and he knew how many similar "rules" there were.

This time, if the grain that originally only cost 580,000 grains wanted to be transported to Suzhou safely, I was afraid that it would cost an additional 50,000 grains.

Fifty thousand taels.

Fang Jue was rich, but he didn't feel indifferent, but felt very concerned.

These expenses that did not need to be extra were generated out of thin air, and they were all borne by the imperial treasury and the people.

"Young Master......" An Baili said, which made Fang Jue come back to his senses, "It's about to go, if you don't send someone to the front to do some work earlier, I'm afraid that those bandits who get the news will send someone to cut off the road." ”

He felt that it was better to remind him so as not to be held accountable if something happened.

Fang Jue nodded and asked, "In the past, how did you give this part of the money to those people, and who would take it?" ”

"No one takes it, they are also very cautious, we send someone to send someone to a certain place to bury it, and they will naturally take it...... And then everything went well. ”

"Tell me where they are." Fang Jue said.

Embry's preparedness took out a folded piece of white paper from his bosom, on which were written the usual amounts of locations and tolls.

Fang Jue opened it and saw that there were less than a dozen taels in each place, and no more than a hundred taels.

Compared with those big rats in the imperial court, it is indeed very few.

But Fang Jue didn't plan to give this money!

So, Fang Jue turned around and beckoned, handing the note to Ye Hongyi who came over.

"Did you hear it all?" Fang Jue looked at Ye Hongyi and Bai Qing who was a little farther away.

The master on the list of Emperor Zun Pavilion has such a level of hearing.

Ye Hongyi was angry: "The Hanging Sword Division doesn't know, there is such a thing!" ”

Bai Qing smiled, as if he was used to it.

An Baili smiled awkwardly, he didn't know that the conversation between the two had been heard so far away.

Fang Jue said: "Go and invest money according to the point, send someone to keep an eye on it, and if someone comes to withdraw the money, follow it, and catch it all." ”

The ability of the Hanging Sword Division, doing this kind of thing, is completely overkill.

But in order to solve these troubles as soon as possible, Fang Jue had no choice but to do so.

"Young Master?" An Baili was a little surprised, he thought that the young master arranged someone to send money, but he didn't expect to dare to act like this.

Fang Jue ignored him and said, "Send people to protect important bridges, mountain roads, and embankments along the way, I don't want any accidents to affect the itinerary of the grain team." ”

Not giving money is a matter of arguing, but it can't affect the business.

"If there is an accident, take the blame yourself." Fang Jue looked at Bai Qing and said.

Bai Qing's eyes lit up: "Willing to serve." ”

In Xichu, Bai Qing is used to seeing such things, but he can't manage it.

Seeing that Fang Jue was so hard, he felt that he had a very good appetite, and he was willing to accept the post.

In the end, Fang Jue looked at An Baili: "Not only do I not plan to give these tolls, but I will not pay any money up and down Ganzhou!" ”

Bai Qing, who was turning around, suddenly turned his back on Fang Jue when he heard this, and raised his erected thumb above his head.

Admire!

Ye Hongyi also looked at the young man deeply, and felt that he was even more caught in his confident and domineering eyes.

But these words scared Ambarry.

Seeing that Ye Hongyi was also gone, An Baili spoke more straightforwardly: "Young Master, don't do it!" ”

"Why not?" Fang Jue asked, "Are you worried that they will do something halfway?" ”

"It's not worrying, it's going to be!"

Amberley didn't need to think about it, he knew that this result would definitely happen.

Those are all interest groups that collude, and what they want to do, they can really do.

"Young Master, if you can't prevent it, even if you catch someone, you can't deal with it...... Because they are surrounded by their people, in case of urgency, they turn against each other, and finally say that there is an enemy who has infiltrated the north and assassinated you......"

"They are one from top to bottom, naturally there will be no flaws, no one can find out the evidence of the crime, and the law does not hold the public accountable...... I can only be confused. ”

An Baili was extremely helpless: "If it weren't for this, someone would have curbed this trend a long time ago." ”

Once any kind of bad atmosphere is formed, or even becomes a mainstream recognized value, there is basically no way to eradicate it.

Obviously, this kind of dotting has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Even those soldiers and petty officials who are out of tolerance take it for granted, because they are vested interests.

Once the money is not given, they will be the first to offend, and there is no need for those officials to pinch them, and the people below will find fault.

Amberley has a good saying, the law does not blame the public.

"Young Master, if you don't agree, I'm afraid that this matter won't be able to be done, and no one will be willing to escort you out of the city today." Amberley advised, but still paid for it.

Fang Jue waved his hand, stopped his words, and beckoned into the distance.

Dianyi came over with a sense of it.

Fang Jue said: "I want to write a secret letter and ask the Ganzhou pigeon house to send it back to Beijing, just like last time." ”

"Yes, young master...... Young master, do you want me to find some people to escort you, you don't need these people to be safely delivered. Dianichi said.

Fang Jue: "I have this intention, which is the biggest dart game in Ganzhou?" ”

This is the natural question of Amberi.

"Young Master, if you do this, although you will save a lot of money, you will offend the officials of Ganzhou."

"Next time I come to Ganzhou, it will be difficult step by step."

Amber said earnestly: "Listen to the next sentence of persuasion, it's better to spend money, at least some escort tolerance and local officials' money, you can't save it." ”

"No, I won't give you a penny, and your firm is not allowed to give it, but I want to see if they really want money and death."

With that, Fang Jue turned around and left angrily, ignoring An Baili no longer.

"Well, I shouldn't have talked too much...... I knew this was the case, I just spent the money, and waited for the master to come back and reimburse ......" An Baili suddenly regretted a little, and said so much to this young master.

This young master is still too young, young and vigorous, and he may have to poke out a big basket.

……

"Young Master, are you back?"

Lu Xin smiled and said, "Then what did An Baili tell you, so long?" ”

Fang Jue glanced at him deeply, and said meaningfully: "Your good brother Zhou Desheng, it's really time to get drunk." ”

The dignified commander of the Ganzhou battalion, how much responsibility does he have, and he doesn't know the common sense that alcohol is forbidden in the army?

When the young master came to Ganzhou, he dared to get drunk, if he didn't deliberately want to hide anything, how could it be such a coincidence.

"Huh?"

Lu Xin looked sluggish, scratched his head and smiled: "Young Master, what are you talking about, why can't I understand?" ”

But there was some happiness in my heart.

Fang Jue snorted, and then didn't say anything more.

There are some things that are tacitly understood with each other, and it is vulgar to put it too plainly.

At least Zhou Desheng was knowledgeable and knew that he didn't dare to reach out to his young master to ask for money.

Looking at Lu Xin, Fang Jue frowned and said, "I have an errand for you." ”

"Young master, please command, the last general will go to the soup and ......"

"Okay, it's not a dangerous thing, you take someone to Suzhou, take my letter to General Lin Bei to ask for someone, and quickly come to the direction of Ganzhou to meet the grain team."

Lu Xin asked, "How fast?" ”

"Hurry up!" Fang Jue said coldly.

"Understood." Lu Xin will understand.
