Lang Zhen's words are not intimidation, there are really not too many examples of officials doing evil below and being killed directly.

What does it mean that "the imperial power does not go down to the county"? This is the fact that in the areas below the county level, the big families occupy a great deal of right to speak.

Many families can directly decide the life and death of their own children, and even the life and death of their neighbors, or they can make a forced decision.

When the official sends down, if it is a last resort, the people below are still willing to greet them, but if they go too far, the people below will kill people and hide the corpses, and there may not be something wrong.

If the official has to pursue it, if it forces the local people, whose pot is it?

On the face of the middle-level martial artist, the blue, red, white and purple changed for a while, and then looked around, and finally turned the horse's head and galloped away.

But before leaving, he gritted his teeth and left down a famous quote from the gray wolf, "I'll be back!"

He was rewarded with boos and whistles.

Seeing a few horses walking away, Feng Jun bowed his hand to the Mi family and said with a smile, "Thank you for the Mi shopkeeper's righteous words." ”

The shopkeeper was the high-level martial artist, and he arrived in a hurry with two companions.

For Feng Jun's gratitude, he waved his hand very indifferently, and then spoke quickly, "I don't know if Mr. Feng is free at the moment, I want to talk in private." ”

Feng Jun's attitude towards the Mi family has always been lukewarm, but the other party has just relieved him - although he doesn't mind wrestling with someone from Fucheng, but it can be a little less troublesome, of course, it is better to have less trouble.

So he invited the shopkeeper into his small courtyard for a detailed discussion, and even invited people into the living room.

There aren't many sensitive things in his living room, but generally speaking, he rarely invites people to sit in and chat.

He believes that this is not his intentional arrangement, but in his various rooms, there are too many things that cannot be seen, and others must not be allowed to enter and exit casually.

Since this is the case, he wants to curb this trend from the source, so the first thing is, of course, that the living room does not entertain people at will, so that it is difficult to control it after others become accustomed to nature.

As for saying that doing so may give people the impression of arrogance, Feng Jun can't care so much, for him, the most important thing is to set up and maintain the rules.

But this time, he felt that the other party should have something important to discuss with him, so he invited the person into the living room.

Shopkeeper Mi didn't have much contact with him, but if he casually inquired outside, he knew how difficult Feng Jun's room was to enter.

So he was a little flattered, but fortunately, he did bring important news this time.

The Mi family is engaged in business, and the base camp is in Yuanguang Mansion, but it also radiates the surrounding areas, and the connections in Qingning Mansion are not weak, otherwise they would not have come as soon as possible after the Soul Snatcher was killed.

Because Feng Jun refused to accept the Mi family's one hundred taels of gold, they have been exploring around recently to learn about the various industries of the Yangshan Gu family.

In fact, the vast majority of the Gu family's industries are not difficult to inquire, and the serious thing is that these industries will generally openly play the banner of the Gu family, so that some blind guys will know early: everyone should do business honestly, and don't worry about those things that shouldn't be remembered.

However, the Mi family inquired about the news, naturally it was impossible to be so careless, and if they wanted to repay Feng Jun's kindness, they must inquire in detail.

They need to know about the location, size, profit method, and profit of each industry, as well as information about the person in charge, the protective force, and even the preferences and social relations of the people involved......

In short, the Mi family wants to make a summary of the information of the Gu family's industry and hand it over to Feng Jun, which is naturally as detailed as possible.

In the process of such an investigation, some people found that in Xiyin City, a rice shop of the Gu family has recently been in frequent contact with the county soldiers and the prefect's yamen, and has recently entered the prefect's house.

Then there was news from the government that the Gu family was willing to take out some money and food to reward the army, and the prefect was very happy.

In the past, when the year came, the government had to gather the local big households, know them with emotion and reason, and sometimes resort to threats and intimidation to make some of the points out.

And the Yangshan Gu family, as a big family with innate nature, doesn't care about such coercion and temptation at all - the reward for the army at the end of each year is a hundred silver dollars, ten stones of grain and two pigs, if you want to be so much, don't be so much.

This time, the Gu family took the initiative to work in advance, and the prefect was very happy: as a big force in Qingning Mansion, the Gu family's move played a good leading role for everyone.

The Mi family was born in business, and they knew very well that there was no love in this world for no reason, and the Gu family acted like this, so they asked for something, so they increased their inquiring.

In fact, all kinds of news in the government are not difficult to inquire about, and a lot of silver dollars are scattered, and some people are scrambling to leak secrets - taking official news and making a small amount of money for their own family, which is too cost-effective.

So the Mi family finally learned that the Gu family reported to the prefect, saying that Zhige County had recently gathered a group of liars and was fighting the Gu family's idea, hoping that the government could come forward to punish the wicked and return Qingning Mansion to a clear and clear sky.

After the Mi family got the news, in order to determine the accuracy of the news, they also specially verified it - if the fake news was passed on to Feng Jun, it would be a shame to throw it to grandma's house.

However, it was because they wanted to verify that they were half a beat slower, and they were still half a step behind the government in a hurry.

The Mi family could imagine that the prefect would agree to the Gu family's request, but it was really a bit unexpected to act so quickly.

In short, the shopkeeper Mi and his party came back a little late, but he pointed out the main messenger behind the scenes: Yangshan Gujia!

After Feng Jun heard this, he lit a cigarette: Use the government to suppress me?

He was not surprised by this situation, it was nothing more than the collusion of officials and businessmen to take what they needed, and in the earth world, this kind of thing is so common that it is rotten on the street.

But the Gu family, a family that has survived for thousands of years, can use such a move, and this trick naturally has merit.

Feng Jun smoked half a cigarette before he asked, "If I kill the Gu family's people in the Miaoshou Pavilion, will there be any problems?"

Now that I know that I regret it, the shopkeeper Mi sighed a little emotionally: after all, he is young and vigorous!

But in the end, this is not a big deal, he replied in a deep voice, "There is no need to worry about this, the Miaoshou Pavilion is suppressed by the government, as long as your evidence is conclusive, the prefect can't say anything, and the Gu family sent some money and goods to the army, which is not enough to overturn the conclusion." ”

However, after a pause, he added, "In fact, sometimes the government is not so reasonable, it is best for you to order the Tian family to also provide more wealth and goods to work for the army, so as to justify...... It's a pity that my Mi family is from Yuanguang Mansion, so it's not easy to contribute to this matter. ”

The Mi family has a semicolon in Qingning Mansion, but it is obvious that as a foreign office, it can only symbolically produce some money and goods to meet the situation, and it is impossible to spend a lot of money and labor army, otherwise, how can Yuanguang Mansion explain there?

"This is really ......" Feng Jun felt a little speechless, is the otherworldly version of Jin Yuanzhengzhi?

If the Tian family works hard, of course, he has to pay for the bulk of the goods, and the eldest husband is responsible for doing things alone, so it is impossible for him to make any excessive demands on his partners.

But after thinking about it, a sneer appeared at the corner of Feng Jun's mouth, "Interesting, does the Gu family really want to have more money than me?"

The Gu family is one of the best existences in Qingning Mansion, because they have an innate nature, not only is their strength extremely strong, but even their wealth has reached an eye-popping level.

With Feng Jun's current net worth, he really doesn't deserve to be compared with others, a family of thousands of people has to solve the problem of eating, drinking, and sleeping, and also support the cultivation of martial artists, and at the same time develop and grow the family.

For similar enterprises on the earth, at least there must be tens or even tens of billions of assets - the problem of food and clothing is easy to solve, but if you want to develop and grow, and not be eliminated by the times, you really have to have so much.

Feng Jun's assets have not reached one billion until now, which is not an order of magnitude compared to the Gu family.

And the Gu family also has a big advantage, there are many people!

What is the most precious thing in the 21 st century?

Even if we don't talk about talent, population is also a valuable asset.

In the huge imperial capital, once the population of the "area" is evicted, the whole city will be buried in garbage, and you want to order takeout? Sorry, the courier brother is gone, even the restaurants are closed, so eat instant noodles at home honestly - if there are still kiosks that are not closed.

This is Feng Jun's shortcoming, not only is he short of manpower, but the loyalty of the people he spends money on cannot be compared with the children of the family.

He has a lot of shortcomings, but in any case, relying on only one strength, he dares to fight hard with the other party - behind him, there is a whole plane of support!

Thinking of fighting hard with each other for money, he really doesn't have any pressure - let you see how the economic war is fought!

After thanking the shopkeeper, he invited Tian Yangyi and explained the situation.

As the patriarch of a family, he understands better than Feng Jun that the bad beginning must be erased, "This year, if the Tian family is extravagant, even if it costs your money...... It's not going to be easy next year. ”

Feng Jun stroked his chin and looked at him thoughtfully, "Then I'll ask Deng to take care of it." ”

It's not that he has no candidates in his hands, and the father of the Deng brothers was also the No. 1 person before he quit the dart game, and he didn't have too many assets.

As for the coming year, I'm sorry, it's gone! The Deng family didn't have much money in the first place.

How dare Tian Yangqi agree to the divine doctor to act like this, in this way, wouldn't the hard work of many days be ruined?

He could only smile bitterly and speak, "There is still some time before the end of the year, let's not worry, let's take a look at how the prefect plans to raise this matter, I don't believe it, the Gu family can work hard every year...... Just wait and see what happens. ”

Feng Jun thought about it, it was also the same reason, it couldn't be that before things happened, his own family was in chaos.

So he sneered, "When the labor army starts, I will definitely make the Gu family regret not contacting me head-on!"
