Chapter 676: Make a fortune!
Helan Chushi, Li Anyan, Du He, Wen Ting and others went back to discuss it 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 final analysis 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 then 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 favor to the emperor by "providing money and effort for the Navy"...
Without further ado, everyone came to the house one after another the next day and took out the bargaining chips negotiated at home. They each had money, food, soldiers, armor and weapons, as well as a varying number of family 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 when 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.
Almost all the aristocratic families are sighing and regretting the incident of "Eastern Datang Company". If Fang Jun had proposed this idea at that time, everyone could have seen everything and supported it, and now he has boarded the emperor's ship and taken over the maritime trade all over the world. How big of an industry would 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 empire's established national policy in the future, and it is destined to have a bright future. Now that the ship "Eastern Datang Company" has set sail, and there is no way to get on board even if you want to, it is better to hold on to the small sampan of "Charge Team". Anyway, you 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, and roundabout...all the wealthy families came out one after another, lest Fang Jun would not show off his face. Thinking about it, since it is called "Charge Team", it is obvious that the scale will not be very large, and this was agreed by Fang Jun in the East Palace to save face. What if he refuses with the excuse of "full staff"?
But what everyone doesn't know is, will Fang Jun refuse?
This guy has already laughed so hard that he can’t even see his eyes. He is so happy...
Fang Jun went to various banquets and banquets for several days. Faced with the requests of various major families, he first pretended to be difficult, and then gritted his teeth and agreed. He knows the right way to the top, sells favors and receives benefits, and his acting skills are comparable to those of future generations of golden men...
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 are simply a huge benefit to Fang Jun, who is eager to open up a new situation!
You must know that anyone who can be accepted by the family leader as a general is either strong and elite, or loyal and reliable. In comparison, loyalty is even more rare, so all the family generals submitted by each family are brave men.
In terms of the quality of these three thousand generals in a single round, they are definitely no less than the Hundred Battles Division that Li Jing used to conquer Mobei. Of course, if the two armies were to confront each other on the battlefield, they would definitely be vulnerable.
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. The bloody nature!
Three thousand generals are just a pile of scattered sand.
But then again, if 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 of soldiers. With these three thousand generals at hand, the future navy skeleton 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 families and generals from the fiefdoms outside the city to Chang'an, or sent their families and generals from the city to various fiefdoms. In short, the flow of personnel was extremely frequent. In name, the marshal is preparing to join Fang Jun's "stormtroopers", but who can guarantee that there won't be any other tricks by those with ulterior motives that endanger the safety of the capital?
As an emperor, what he fears most is the chaos of a situation out of his control!
His Majesty Li Er was a little annoyed and wanted to find Fang Jun and scold him. But after thinking about it, I felt that since Fang Jun had just been promoted and appointed to the position of general manager, he should be given enough trust.
If I publicly question his behavior, how will I convince the public when I 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 big families 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 see it and became even more depressed. He had no choice but to summon the prince from the East Palace and inquire in detail.
"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." , 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, but in his heart he slandered Fang Jun as 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 he told Fang Jun’s thoughts thoroughly...
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, which will be announced 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."
< br>
The purpose of the imperial examination is to break the monopoly of aristocratic families on education. Now it seems that if the poor families want to rise up or even replace the aristocratic families, they really have a long way to go, and the road is long and slow...
< br>
However, this situation had been raised publicly as early as when Fang Jun reformed the imperial examination system. Three feet of ice cannot be frozen in a day. It will take ten, twenty years, or even several generations of efforts to reverse the situation of a poor family and aristocratic family.
However, as long as the imperial examination system persists, His Majesty Li Er firmly believes that the day will come when "only the most 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 Scholar". 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 has been favored since then." Decay. To be an emperor, you don’t need to be a master of martial arts, kill generals, seize flags, and behead generals among millions of troops. To be well-versed in Confucianism, poetry, poetry, and poetry, there is only one thing that must be done - to know people! If you can distinguish between the loyal and treacherous of your officials, and then use them according to their talents, you will be a good emperor! He has extraordinary martial arts and outstanding literary talents, but he is also a mediocre king who ruined his family and ruined his country!”
