Chapter 772: The chicken to scare the monkey (Part 2)
Fang Jun looked at the amount of money written clearly on the white paper and sneered: "What a damn talent! People in Guanzhong say that a certain Fang Jun is the 'God of Wealth', but if you follow my opinion, General Yang is the
He is a veritable 'God of Wealth'. This way of making money makes me ashamed! According to the military register, the full number of soldiers in Huating Town is 120, but now there are only 31, and the remaining 89 have food.
You have swallowed all the baggage and daily consumption, hello, very good!"
Fang Jun was really furious!
In two lifetimes, this was the first time he heard that during the Zhenguan period in the early Tang Dynasty, there were people living on empty pay! Of course, the soldiers in the government did not receive military pay, but the imperial court would distribute food allowances, all of which were given to Tan Mo by Yang Xiuwu.
Got it!
The most irritating thing is that when I sent someone to deliver the letter, I also sent two thousand guan along with it. I just felt that the local military towns were probably in trouble.
, if it delays the soldiers' accommodation, it will affect the morale of the soldiers.
But I didn’t expect this guy to do such a great job. How many days has it been? There are only less than 300 guans left on the account out of 2,000 guan...
The greed for ink has gone to my head. If you don’t accept me, who will you punish me for?
Fang Jun put the paper on the desk and said calmly without raising his eyelids: "The leader of Huating Town, Yang Xiuwu, embezzled military resources, deceived the superiors and concealed the inferiors, colluded with the pirates, and harmed the good people..."
"General manager, you are wronged!" Yang Xiuwu's soul was almost frightened. Colluding with pirates? Harming good people? What, even though I did it, you have no evidence. This is not just talking nonsense, framed, and harmful to others.
Die?!
Fang Jun didn't even look at him and continued: "The state has national laws and the army has military discipline. Such a daring and cruel scum should be killed according to military law!"
Yang Xiuwu was completely frightened and actually forgot to refute for a moment.
Are you going to kill me?
When Liu Renyuan pulled his bun back, Yang Xiuwu realized what he was doing and shouted at the top of his lungs: "General Manager, Lord Marquis! It's unfair. The general just embezzled some military resources. Why did he die...
Manager, you can’t kill me, I am a descendant of the Yang family of Hongnong... Fang Jun, you, the special mother-in-law, abused military power and took human lives lightly, and you will not die a good death! Even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go..."
Liu Renyuan paused for a moment and looked at Fang Jun, who was sitting on the throne.
I didn't expect that this guy is still a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family, which is a bit troublesome. Although the Hongnong Yang family is a little weak now, after all, the foundation is still there. The former Sui Dynasty was glorious, and now many ministers in the court have something to do with their family.
connection.
If it were just cut off...
Fang Jun glared at Liu Renyuan unhappily and shouted: "Why the delay? In my navy, they only recognize military law and not face! Not to mention the branch of the Yang family of Hongnong, it is the branch of the Li family of Longxi.
My son, if you have violated the military law, I will kill you without mercy! Why are you still standing there? Pull him out and chop him off! Hang his head on the camp gate as a warning to others!"
"promise!"
Liu Renyuan agreed, turned around and kicked Yang Xiuwu hard, who was struggling, and cursed: "Mom! It's just a side issue, do you really think you are a great person?"
Together with Xi Junmai who came to help, they dragged Yang Xiuwu out.
Fang Jun's expression was completely normal. In the Western Regions, too many people were killed in Niuzhuji. Now he found that he had gradually become one of those "killers" in history, and he no longer regarded human life as a thing.
, even if it is his own. This is what is called the environment changing the character. In such a society where the rule of man is greater than the rule of law, and even the emperor's life may end at any time, human life is really as trivial as a piece of grass...
This is not what Fang Jun wants, so he has to work hard to change this era. As for the final step, he doesn't know. He just knows that he has to do something, and he has to work hard to do it better.
I come, I see, I conquer……
But why did Yang Xiuwu have to be killed? Just as what he said at the end was just to serve as a warning to others.
Although the terms have been negotiated with Xiao Yu, Fang Jun also knows that the Jiangnan nobles have always been self-righteous. Even if they support Fang Jun on the surface, they must be doing it secretly and will continue to cause trouble for him. These guys control Jiangnan.
For too long, he has already regarded himself as the local emperor of this blessed land. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty even relied on Zaijiang to not leave, hoping to get their help to quell the wars that were raging in the country, and to start a confrontation with the powerful families of Shandong and Longxi.
, what is little Fang Jun?
If it weren't for the great prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, these frogs in the well would even think of making trouble and crossing the river to rule...
Their short-sighted goals
Guang has long been bound to the ground under his feet by the lessons of his ancestors. He can't see what kind of wealth Fang Jun's plan will bring them. He only knows that even if the meat in his mouth is spit out to feed the dogs, it cannot be given to others.
Take it away!
This is the limitation of the times.
It is impossible to explain the concept of global strategy and economic cooperation to such people. We can only use Yang Xiuwu's head to tell them the fact that if you follow me, you will have meat to eat. If you go against me, be careful with your head!
Therefore, Yang Xiuwu was lucky enough to be Fang Jun's chicken to scare the monkeys...
*****
Originally, everyone was talking about Fang Jun's conditions brought by Xiao Yu. They felt that Fang Jun was too arrogant. If he didn't join the Shipping Department, he would be a pirate? Are you going to destroy him? Shuzi is simply arrogant! But when Yang Xiuwu's head was hung high on the
After Fang Jun erected a plaque of "Royal Navy" on the gate of the navy camp, the three counties of Jiangdong fell into silence.
Although the Hongnong Yang family has declined, it is still one of the first-class aristocratic families in the former Sui Dynasty. Even if Yang Xiuwu is just a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, he is still a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family! Just like that, Fang Jun was promoted to one
For the crime of "deceiving superiors and concealing their superiors, colluding with pirates, and harming good people", their heads were chopped off before the tea was ready...
The children of the aristocratic family who were so noisy before felt a cold breeze on the back of their necks, as if their big heads were a little unsafe.
This guy really dares to kill!
Moreover, the killing of Yang Xiuwu was done in a grand manner without fear of offending the Hongnong Yang family. If a few Jiangdong children were killed, Fang Jun would only need to send "righteous men" to take action. Even if you wanted to settle accounts with Fang Jun afterwards, there would be no reason for you to do so.
It was a "righteous man" who did it. What does it have to do with Fang Jun?
For a moment, all the Jiangdong disciples felt Fang Jun's cruelty, and they all kept silent and just acted like frightened monkeys, lest they become the next chicken targeted by Fang Jun...
Therefore, when Fang Jun vigorously recruited refugees and poor people as handymen in the name of the navy, and built houses, docks, and shipyards, all the Jiangnan nobles remained silent and maintained the "no support" negotiated with Xiao Yu.
No objection" attitude.
In the past, whenever the Central Plains experienced natural disasters, a large number of people would leave their homes and cross the river in search of a quiet paradise. Unfortunately, when they came to the south of the Yangtze River again with no property or land, they would realize that this was not their paradise.
. Indeed, the climate south of the Yangtze River is suitable, with dense rivers, abundant rainfall, prosperous crop growth, and extremely high grain yield. Even the vast land south of the Five Ridges can be harvested twice a year and the warehouse is full of rice.
But this has nothing to do with them...
After crossing the river, they had a brand new name: refugees!
With no land, no house, or even household registration, they can only rely on the aristocratic families and suffer the most cruel oppression and exploitation. They work the hardest, but still have no food to eat and no food to eat...
There are a large number of refugees in the three counties of Jiangdong, and the wealthy families rely on their hard work to obtain a large amount of labor for a very small amount of food.
News of Fang Jun's recruitment gradually spread in Jiangdong, and many refugees who could not survive escaped from the control of the Li family and went to Huating Town.
All this is just because Fang Jun promised that every adult laborer will receive one work point for every day of work!
At first, no one knew what a worker was, until a refugee working on the dock revealed, "Each work point can be exchanged at the town office for half a bushel of corn, ten coins for money, or two kilograms of meat..."
Suddenly, a large number of refugees and even local people rushed to the so-called "town office". No way, according to this salary, a strong laborer's daily income can feed a family of five all day long. If a family has three people,
Strong labor force... Editian, isn't this about being developed?
Only the Jiangnan gentry looked at each other in confusion. What is "work points"?
What on earth is Fang Jun going to do? Please vote for me! Well, Fang Jun is going to cause trouble...
