Chapter 2156 Threat


Chapter 2156 Threat

Fang Jun didn't think anything of it at first. He was angry at first and couldn't figure it out, but later he thought about it and understood His Majesty Li Er's intention to cover up the truth and confuse right and wrong.

He simply dislikes the Xiao family and wants to fill Xiao Rui's shoes...

What's more, if he reveals this matter, His Majesty Li Er will not be able to beat him to death?

Only fools do things that harm others and do not benefit oneself.

But Xiao Rui doesn't think that in his eyes Fang Jun is just a stick. Although his talents and abilities are amazing, no matter how good the stick is with gold and silver, it is still a stick...

Can Bang Chui make sense to you when he does things?

He didn't dare to gamble with the reputation of the Xiao family, so no matter how aggrieved or unwilling he was, he had to lower his noble head of the Lanling Xiao family and beg for reconciliation in a low voice.

Fang Jun had a straight face and said with a righteous tone: "We men, standing between heaven and earth, are not afraid of thousands of swords coming at us, we just want a clear conscience! Right and wrong, good and evil, we should have the courage to face Xiao Siye's crime. Although it is a shame for the Xiao family, shouldn’t we be aware of our shame and then be brave?”

Act to the end.

Xiao Rui was so angry that his temples were beating loudly, and his heart said, "What the hell are you talking about?"

If I were alone, I would have nothing to fear, but when it comes to the entire family, you want me to let Xiao Siye's sins destroy the Xiao family's reputation?

But fortunately, this guy didn’t refuse outright...

Holding back his anger, he had to suppress his patience and persuade Fang Jun.

You even don’t hesitate to make it clear, why don’t we compensate you if you don’t cause trouble?

He was really afraid that this stick would turn around and walk away...

Xiao Rui said in a low voice: "Erlang, you and I are relatives and a family. If the reputation of the Xiao family is damaged, it will not benefit you, right? Your Majesty has already decided this matter, and we should take the overall situation into consideration. Of course, what will happen if Erlang Difficulties can also be brought up. As long as they are within their capabilities, the Xiao family will definitely not make Erlang feel wronged..."

Fang Jun blinked and said: "At the beginning of summer, the shopkeepers of the 'Eastern Datang Company' and the Fang family will come to Mobei to purchase wool. If the Great Protector can ensure that the Fang family's purchases are not squeezed out, except for the company's In addition to the share, the remaining wool house owners can occupy 50%... This matter can be discussed. ”

Xiao Rui: "..."

Almost choked.

He was going to try his best to dissuade her, but as soon as the conditions were announced, this guy immediately followed the stick...

Where's the stick as promised?

But this was exactly what he wanted, and he immediately said: "It's a deal!"

Nowadays, the entire spinning wheel has been spread from Jiangnan to Guanzhong. This thing was mysterious at first, but when the family members realized the huge profits of cotton cloth, they naturally found ways to make a few and study it carefully. There was not much technical content, but the level of craftsmen in Datang was still very high. After dismantling a few machines, I quickly understood the principle, and it spread in large numbers.

As far as he knew, not only was the demand for wool from the Western Regions huge and prices rising again and again, but the scale of cotton planting during this year's spring plowing had increased more than ten times compared to the past. Sinong Temple had to inform the Zhengshi Hall, and then The political hall issued a decree restricting cotton planting to barren lands such as mountains and barren slopes, and must not occupy fertile farmland, resulting in a sudden drop in food production...

Now that Mobei has been pacified and Xue Yantuo has fallen, such a vast land with flocks of cattle and sheep will inevitably attract the attention of those who own looms and flock to it.

When the wool production season comes, merchants flock in, all of whom are members of distinguished families. The name of the Fang family cannot suppress these people...

Xiao Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

He is most afraid of Fang Jun making political demands, such as asking the Xiao family to stand behind him unconditionally and support him when he recommends someone to a certain official position...

Even if Xiao Shuer was originally married to Fang Jun in order to win over Fang Jun and invest in advance, this should be done under the leadership of the Xiao family, rather than the Xiao family charging into battle for Fang Jun, regardless of their own interests.

Fang Jun nodded: "Okay, let's see how you perform."

Xiao Rui stared and said angrily: "Not even a promise?"

Fang Jun squinted at him: "Promise? A certain person always thought that the promises of aristocratic family members were just farts. For the sake of profit, not only can you take back what you say, but you can also swallow whatever you pull out... Ahem, don't get angry, Although it sounds ugly, it is true! ”

Xiao Rui became angry from embarrassment and cursed angrily: "You are vulgar and unworthy of being a son of a man!"

He turned around and entered the camp, ignoring Fang Jun again.

He wanted to rebel. The legitimate son of the Lanling Xiao family, the current son-in-law of His Majesty, the most outstanding figure among the children of the family, had never suffered such humiliation?

However, he didn't dare. It was really uncomfortable to hold this anger in his stomach, so he simply stayed out of sight and out of mind.

As for Fang Jun's request...how could he refuse?

……

Outside the camp, tens of thousands of troops, including Youtun Guard and Youwu Guard, have been assembled. Flags are fluttering, chariots and horses are tumbling, and the army is in full bloom.

Especially Youtunwei, this is an army formed by the "recruitment system" for the first time. It is the only one in the Tang Dynasty. Because of the waste of military resources, it has been impeached by countless censors. The eyes of the government and the public are closely watching. , even most people are waiting to see Fang Jun’s jokes.

Everyone in the Youtun Guards was panicking under this pressure, fearing that their performance would be too poor and they would be dismissed...

Now the Youtun Guards came out of Baidao and swept across Mobei. They won the first battle and won a complete victory. They have become a powerful force in the Tang army. They are dazzling and majestic. The whole army is full of fighting spirit and confidence. Naturally, their morale is unprecedented. high!

Bazhuo, Tumidu and others rode their horses around the camp, quietly looking at the Tang army in front of them, with anger, fear and mixed feelings in their hearts.

Who would have thought that it was Xue Yantuo who took the initiative and tried to provoke the Tang Dynasty to gain some benefits, but such an invincible army and an unreasonable commander brazenly sent out troops to retaliate, fighting all the way from Wuchuan Town to Longcheng, Nuo Zhenshui and Zhao Xincheng fought After crippling the elite warriors gathered by Tiele tribes, the domineering Xueyantuo Khanate followed the footsteps of the Turks and was defeated like a mountain, and was completely destroyed...

This is a blood feud.

However, facing such an army and all kinds of firearms that can destroy heaven and earth, who dares to resist bravely, who dares to shout to expel the Tang army from Mobei?

Look at the corpse of Zhao Xincheng. As long as someone stands up to resist the Tang Dynasty, the brutal and tyrannical Tang army will dare to launch an indiscriminate killing in Mobei. All the Tiele tribe will suffer annihilation, annihilation and genocide. Not just words...

If you don’t dare to resist, you can only surrender.

Fortunately, the Han people have never taken pleasure in killing, and they have no obsession with occupying land beyond the Great Wall. They care more about whether they can stabilize the border, whether they can cooperate with the Han people, and whether they can gain profits.

Ba Zhuo frowned, looked at the majestic soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and said worriedly: "Fang Jun said that he would help our people build cities and settle down, set up forays to carry out trade, and even set up schools in each settlement city to teach history books... ... Even though we dare not disobey, we must not cooperate secretly. Instead, we will start a conflict among our tribe! Why are our Tiele tribe so powerful? The mobility in the environment, the will tempered by the harsh environment, and the strong physique cultivated by living in the water and grass since childhood! Once Fang Jun's wishes are fulfilled, the descendants of my Tiele tribe will live in the city to resist! The wind and sand are so cold that we forget our ancestors while reading the books of the Han people. We have even become cattle and sheep in captivity, and we no longer have the wildness to brave the thorns and fear of death!”

This man may seem rude, but he is actually shrewd.

Fang Jun’s plan can be seen through at a glance, but...

Tumidu smiled bitterly: "How to resist? When our chief gives an order, countless men will follow and fight against the Han people one after another. Even if they bury their bones in Monan, they will have no regrets. These are all For what purpose? Not to plunder women’s wealth, to occupy the warm land of Monan, to thrive, and to no longer fear the bitter cold and desolation of Mobei! Lead them to build cities, lead them to cultivate wasteland, teach them farming skills, and even teach history books, allow them to take the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty, and become officials of the Tang Dynasty... Just imagine, which tribe would not welcome the Tang people? Whoever cuts off the beautiful future they long for is their enemy, even chiefs like you and me!”

Cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents. So when the Tiele tribe saw a stable life and a bright future, who stood up and asked them to give up the happiness that they used to use their lives to gain but now have at their fingertips? What will they do?
