Chapter 837 Neglect and Anger
Zhang Liang stood at the bow of the boat, angry and helpless.
He had a grudge against Fang Jun and had lost one of his son's arms, which was an irresolvable hatred. Naturally, he would not expect Fang Jun to have any respectful attitude towards him when he came to Huating Town. In fact, it was precisely because of the feud between the two that Zhang Liang was able to get the position of deputy general manager of the Canghaidao March, otherwise he would not have been able to get his turn!
But after all, you are also a dignified prince, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Canghaidao March appointed by the imperial court. As the chief officer, you, Fang Jun, must at least maintain the rules on the surface, right?
But who would have known that this little bastard would really dare to ignore him, even not showing up to Zhang Liang on his first day in office!
This is just putting his proud face on the ground and trampling it with your feet...
He was so angry that Zhang Liang couldn't help but scratch his head.
The superior officer completely ignored the fact that the new deputy regarded the rules of the officialdom as nothing, not to mention seeing it, even hearing it! He was confused now. Not only did Fang Jun not come, but no one from Canghai Road or Huating Town came to greet him. What should he do next?
He went to Fang Jun dejectedly and handed over the official seal saying that he was here to take office?
What if Fang Jun is still missing?
There are hundreds of family members he brought with him. Where will they live? Are you just staying on the boat, floating on the Wusong River? Zhang Liang has a sinister temperament, and most sinister people have good brains. In an instant, he found himself in an extremely disadvantageous situation.
As the newly appointed deputy director of marching on Canghaidao, if he doesn't even have a place to rest on his first day in office, it won't be long before Zhang Liang becomes a big joke to the nobles in Guanzhong. Maybe some good people can even make this anecdote Entered into classics and recorded in history, Zhang Liang will be the laughingstock of the ages...
So bad!
Zhang Liang almost broke his teeth and greeted all eight generations of the Fang family!
Returning anger to anger will not solve the problem.
The "godsons" around him stopped working and started shouting and scolding each other.
"Is this Fang Jun looking for death? He didn't come to greet the commander-in-chief!"
"This boy is disgusting! The commander-in-chief is a great prince, and he, a little marquis, is actually showing off? He must be good-looking!"
"Commander, this man is deliberately trying to embarrass you, and he has a terrible intention! It would be better if I led a battalion of dead soldiers tonight and attacked and killed him at night!"
Zhang Liang was experienced in battles for a long time. In the army, he treated his soldiers very favorably. He had five hundred adopted sons. He was called the commander-in-chief when he was in the army, and he was respectfully called his adopted father in private. Each of these adopted sons were elite and brave men in the army. When they saw their adoptive father being humiliated by Fang Jun, they were filled with indignation and shouted endlessly.
This time when he went south to the south of the Yangtze River, Zhang Liang brought two hundred people with him to prepare for the unexpected...
Zhang Liang thought for a while and said: "Don't talk nonsense! If we make a fuss, I'm afraid we just fell into Fang Jun's trick! This guy seems to be reckless, but in fact he is insidious and cunning, so you need to be careful."
He couldn't suppress the feeling in his heart, but what if he didn't suppress it?
When he first arrived, the entire Huating Town was full of Fang Jun's confidants, and Fang Jun was his superior. He was at a disadvantage both in name and in terms of strength. If he caused trouble rashly, he would only suffer the consequences.
The adopted sons were not angry, but they did not dare to refute Zhang Liang's words. They all had angry faces for a while. These guys have been running rampant for many years relying on Zhang Liang's power. Now that they are so humiliated by Fang Jun, how can they give up?
Zhang Liang waited at the pier for a while, but when he saw that no one came to greet him, the anger in his heart gradually became uncontrollable. With a livid face, he waved his hand and said, "Since Fang Jun doesn't come, I will go see him in person!"
All the adopted sons were shocked, and all tried to dissuade him: "How can the commander-in-chief lower his status like this?"
Zhang Liang said angrily: "Isn't it possible to be surrounded by workers here?"
Their ship had a high sail and was very eye-catching when it docked at the dock. At this time, many laborers and merchants working on the dock looked at it, seemed extremely curious, and whispered. Zhang Liang doesn’t want to be the target of criticism and ridicule...
The adopted sons all shut up and followed Zhang Liang off the boat.
Standing on the boat and looking at the Huating Town in front of me, I just felt that construction was going on everywhere, workers were everywhere, and it looked like a prosperous scene. Only when you get off the boat and stand on the dock and fully integrate into it can you feel the bustling crowds and vigorous vitality.
Is this the legendary Huang Xie Pu?
Zhang Liang was born in Xingyang, and later defected to Wagang, and later stationed in Liyang with Li Ji. After surrendering to Li Tang, he served successively as the governor of Zhengzhou, guarding Xiangzhou, and successively served as governor of Youzhou, Xiazhou, and Yanzhou, governor of the governor's office of Xiangzhou, and engineer. Minister of the Ministry...
But he has never been to Jiangnan, and he has even been in charge of the navy.
Looking at the busy warehouse under construction in the shipping company in front of him, Zhang Liang frowned slightly and asked a thin old man next to him: "Is this Huang Xie Pu?"
The old man was a Wuxing person specially recruited by Zhang Liang on this trip. He was familiar with Jiangnan customs and was born in a Jiangnan gentry.
The old man also felt that the scene in front of him was a bit shocking. He nodded and said, "To the east of the Wusong River is the area of Huang Xie Pu. It is said that during the Warring States Period, this place was the fief of Huang Xie, Lord Chunshen, one of the four princes of the Warring States Period. Huang Xie A dam was built around the fields here, hence the name. Huating Town Garrison has been built here since the Southern Dynasties to guard the east side of Suzhou and the Yangtze River waterway. There is another river further east, called Chunshen River. However, this area is hit by typhoons every year, and the land is made of sediment carried by the Yangtze River. It is soaked by sea water and is mostly a salt-alkali land. It is extremely barren and has hundreds of thousands of people. There is no one inside, but I don’t know when so many craftsmen gathered and built such a huge dock..."
When he was young, he left home and wandered around the country without achieving anything.
At this moment, returning to my hometown after many years of absence is a bit shocking...
Zhang Liang nodded silently.
When he was in the imperial court, I occasionally heard that Fang Jun was playing a big game of chess in Huating Town, building wharves and military ports, preparing a shipping department, and even establishing a naval academy to train naval warfare talents. I have never taken it seriously.
Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that Fang Jun has done a great job!
This guy's way of making money is truly unparalleled in the world...
Zhang Liang restrained his contempt and pointed to a worker not far away and said: "Go and bring this man and ask him to lead us to the government office of Huating Town."
"No!"
When two adopted sons who were already eager to try rushed over, they first kicked down the worker who was carrying a sack of cement, then picked up his collar and asked loudly: "Do you know Huating?" Town official office? ”
The worker looked confused. What was going on with these two people? He was just carrying sacks, so why did he kick them when he came up?
He shouted: "Who are you? If you beat me for no reason, is there any law?"
The two adopted sons laughed strangely, and one of them said arrogantly: "Wang Fa? Our commander is Wang Fa!" The other had already raised his hand and slapped him a few times. They were all brave men in the army, and they were very powerful. Just a few hits made the laborer's nose bleed, his mouth broke, and he screamed loudly.
This time it exploded a hornet's nest. The dock was bustling with workers, who were all busy working. After all, work such as carrying sacks was paid on a piece-rate basis, and no one was in the mood to talk. However, Fang Jun's production team plan is divided one by one according to close relationships such as region, blood relationship, etc. The production team carrying sacks now came from a mountain valley in Qingzhou, and they are all aunts and uncles. The aunt's relationship is very close to each other. How can I watch from one side when I see my family being beaten for no reason at this time?
"Hula"
Dozens of people in the entire production team threw sacks, ran over and accused each other: "Who are you, how can you beat people casually?"
The two adopted sons were startled, thinking that the people here were quite united, but Zhang Liang was standing behind them, naturally he was fearless. Instead of being afraid, he cursed: "What the hell, everything has changed." Is it okay? My hands are itchy and I just like to hit people. If you don’t accept it, I will bear it. If you dare to yell again, you will be beaten!”
The workers were all shocked. Why was this man so cruel?
Furthermore, someone discovered that Zhang Liang and others got off the large ships that had just docked at the dock. They were obviously not ordinary people, so they naturally felt guilty. But my family is still in the hands of others, so I can’t let it go...
The workers didn't dare to say harsh words, but they refused to leave and remained in a stalemate. (End of chapter)
