Helan Chushi, Li Anyan, Du He, Wen Ting and others went back to discuss with their families, and they all agreed that the deal was a good one. Although the generals in the family are all elites who have fought in hundreds of battles, in the end they are just slaves.
There are countless elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty's southern and northern war armies. With the abilities of these families, it would be effortless to withdraw a group of soldiers from all over the world from the army and convert them into slaves.
In comparison, the pie painted by Fang Jun is too tempting. The most important point is that Fang Jun's past "money-making skills" are too magical. No matter what kind of business it is, as long as Fang Jun dares to do it, it will definitely be done.
There is much to be done.
What's more, there is also an opportunity to show goodwill to the emperor by "providing money and effort for the navy"...
Without further ado, everyone went to the house one after another the next day and took out the bargaining chips negotiated at home. Each had money, food, soldiers, armor, and a number of generals, and handed them over to the house together with the slave contract.
hansome.
Fang Jun naturally smiled happily.
However, what he didn't expect was that more and more families wanted to join the "Navy Stormtroopers", and the gatekeepers of the house came like a cloud, almost breaking the threshold...
The cause of the incident is that someone among the first few families leaked the news. Maybe they accidentally revealed the gossip while they were drunk, maybe they did it deliberately, and maybe they had ulterior motives. Anyway, the "stormtroopers" incident caused a stir in Chang'an City.
Almost no one knows about the upper class family.
About the "East Datang Company", almost all the aristocratic families are now sighing and regretting it. If Fang Jun had proposed this idea at that time, everyone would have seen everything to support it, and now they have boarded the emperor's ship and taken charge of it.
Maritime trade is all over the world, how big of an industry will it be?
Almost all the wealthy families who are qualified and have not jumped on the big ship of "Eastern Datang Company" are all eyeing this "Charge Team".
In the eyes of these people, the full development of maritime trade has become the established national policy of the empire in the future, and it is destined to have an unlimited future. Since the ship "Eastern Datang Trading Company" has already set sail and there is no way to get on it, why not
Hold on tightly to the small sampan of "stormtrooper". Anyway, we can't be abandoned by the mainstream!
What's more, with Fang Jun here, with the skills of this "God of Wealth", it won't be difficult to at least make enough money, right?
As a result, people came to the door in person, asked people to intercede, directly, tactfully, roundabout... All the major wealthy families were dispatched one after another, lest Fang Jun would not show off his face. I guess so, since it is called a "stormtrooper", it is obvious that the scale will not be large.
It’s very big, and it was something Fang Jun agreed to in the East Palace to save his face. What if he refuses with the excuse that “the staff is full”?
But what everyone doesn't know is, will Fang Jun refuse?
This guy has already laughed so hard that his teeth can’t even see his eyes, he is so happy...
Fang Jun went to various banquets for several days in a row. When faced with the requests of major families, he first acted difficultly, and then gritted his teeth and agreed. He knew the right way to sell favors and receive benefits at the same time. His acting skills were as good as
The little golden man of later generations...
That's right, in Fang Jun's expectation, the number of generals from all the major aristocratic families who were crying and shouting to "squeeze them in" was as large as three thousand! These three thousand people were very important to Fang Jun who was eager to open up a new situation.
, it’s simply a huge benefit!
You must know that those who can be accepted by the family leader as generals must be either strong and elite, or loyal and reliable. In comparison, loyalty is even more rare, because all the generals submitted by each family are brave men.
In terms of the quality of these three thousand generals in a single round of troops, they are definitely no less than the Hundred Battles Division that Li Jing used to cross Mobei. Of course, if the two armies were to confront each other on the battlefield, they would definitely be vulnerable to a single blow.
Decisive victory on the battlefield is not just as simple as the quality of soldiers...
An elite army must have a "war spirit" that looks down on the world, a belief that it is invincible and invincible, must be able to have the domineering power to defeat you in desperate situations, and have the courage to defeat the enemy in good times.
bloody!
Three thousand generals are just a pile of scattered sand.
But then again, if the soldiers with excellent quality can be trained by famous generals, the possibility of becoming a strong army is naturally much greater than that of a ragtag group. With these 3,000 generals at hand, the future skeleton of the Navy no longer has to worry!
As for the wealth looted from pirates in the future...
hehe!
Fang Jun was extremely satisfied with his "making something out of nothing"!
Of course, everything in the world has pros and cons, just like a sword has two edges.
If Fang Jun is satisfied, some people will naturally be dissatisfied...
The word "stormtrooper" has been talked about most frequently by the upper-class families in Chang'an recently, and because of the frequent transfer of family generals, the "Hundred Cavalry" has been in a state of panic all day long, and all the scouts have been sent out to pay close attention to the movements of the major families.
, if there is any slight disturbance, "Hundred Cavalry" will become nervous as if facing a powerful enemy.
Finally, His Majesty Li Er could not sit still...
This is going to be a big deal. What on earth is Fang Jun thinking?
The major families either continuously transferred their generals from the fiefdoms outside the city to Chang'an, or sent their generals from the city to various fiefdoms. In short, the flow of personnel was extremely frequent. In name, the generals were preparing to join.
Fang Jun's "stormtroopers", but who can guarantee that there won't be any tricks with ulterior motives among them that endanger the safety of the capital?
As an emperor, what you fear most is the chaos of a situation that is out of your control!
His Majesty Li Er was a little annoyed and wanted to call Fang Jun to scold him. But after thinking about it, he felt that since Fang Jun had just been promoted and appointed as a general manager, he should be given enough trust.
If you publicly question his behavior, how will you convince the public when you arrive in Jiangnan in the future?
However, this matter made His Majesty Li Er panic, and he couldn't understand the purpose of Fang Jun's move. As for the legendary saying of "selling each big family to save face", His Majesty Li Er scoffed.
That stickman is so stubborn that he doesn't even want to lose face as the emperor. Who are those so-called aristocratic family members?
His Majesty Li Er knew that there must be a deep meaning behind Fang Jun's move, or there might be some evil hidden behind it, but he couldn't figure it out, so he became even more depressed. He had no choice but to summon the prince from the East Palace and inquire in detail.
"Then what's wrong with that little bastard?"
As soon as His Majesty Li Er saw Li Chengqian, he asked with a gloomy face.
The ancients believed in "relatives across generations". You can be kind and affectionate to your grandchildren, but when facing your son, you must show the majesty of a strict father. If you make any mistakes, you must be severely reprimanded and must not be tolerated for a moment. "Being spoiled is like killing your father."
, this has been true since ancient times!
This is true for ordinary people's families, and it is also true for the royal family.
Li Chengqian was frightened by His Majesty Li Er. Although he slandered Fang Jun in his heart that he was a bastard, what has become of your father-in-law? But on his face, he was as frightened as a mouse seeing a cat and obeyed Fang Jun thoroughly.
Say it out...
His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a long time before he finally breathed out, shook his head and sighed: "This boy... is about to become a sperm!"
Li Chengqian nodded silently, deeply convinced.
After sighing for a while, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand for Li Chengqian to sit down and asked: "Is the imperial examination matter safe?"
The imperial examinations have all ended a few days ago. In the past few days, the Ministry of Rites is stepping up its examination of papers and then ranking them according to their rankings to announce to the world.
Li Chengqian said helplessly: "The grading has been completed and the rankings are being tallied. However, in this imperial examination, the children of aristocratic families still occupy the vast majority of the seats. Real scholars from poor families are rare, and those who can stand out are the only ones."
The purpose of the imperial examination is to break the monopoly of education by aristocratic families. Now it seems that if a poor family wants to rise up or even replace aristocratic families, it is really a long way to go. The road is long and slow...
However, this situation has been publicly raised by Fang Jun when he reformed the imperial examination system. It will not take a day to freeze three feet. It will take ten or twenty years, or even several generations, to reverse the situation of poor families and aristocratic families.
It takes a lot of effort.
However, as long as the imperial examination system is persisted, His Majesty Li Er firmly believes that the day will come when "only those who are qualified will be elected" regardless of whether they are from aristocratic or humble families!
His Majesty Li Er was too lazy to care about which scholar won the "No. 1" title. He just said to the prince with sincerity: "Be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains. That's why the Han Dynasty prospered; be close to villains and stay away from virtuous ministers. That's why the Han Dynasty will be favored."
Decay. To be an emperor, you don’t need to be an emperor with martial arts skills, kill generals, seize flags, and win the rank of general out of a million troops. You don’t need to be well-versed in Confucianism, poetry, poetry, and poetry. The only thing you need to do is to know people! Be able to tell the difference between your ministers.
If you are loyal, traitorous, virtuous and foolish, and then use them according to their talents, you are a good emperor! Otherwise, even if Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty had extraordinary martial arts and outstanding literary talent, he would still be a mediocre king who ruined his family and ruined his country!"
