Feng Yong is certainly not a noble person, nor is he benevolent.
In fact, he also wanted to swallow up these three thousand laborers, but reason stopped his impulse.
The results of the sand table deductions conducted in the Dudu Mansion these days told him that as long as Li Hui captured Weixian and held it, that would be the best balance between risks and benefits.
But Li Hui didn't do this, and instead directly used a wave of play.
Yibo Liu's style of play is very radical and fierce, but it is also extremely risky.
If you succeed, you will be successful.
If it fails, it will be wiped out.
If you put aside the strategies and the like that he didn't know, Feng Yong actually disagreed with Li Hui's style of play.
Although there were high-ranking barbarian traitors like Meng Yan as internal agents, the head of the Meng family in Yizhou County was Meng Huo, and those barbarian officials served Meng Huo, not Meng Yan.
If Meng Yan really dared to say openly and honestly: Everyone has betrayed Meng Huo, surrender the Han Dynasty.
In addition to Meng Yan's own confidants, maybe those handsome cave masters who stayed in Yizhou County would directly draw their swords and kill Meng Yan.
But the battlefield is the place where miracles are most likely to happen. From the history that Feng Yong himself knows, there are not too many examples of victory over more with less and surprise in the history books.
And although he had never met Li Hui face to face, in his interactions with Li Yi, he could vaguely guess some of Li Hui's behavior style - bold, adventurous, and daring to make bets.
When Liu Bei launched his army at Jiameng Pass, he judged that Liu Zhang would definitely fail, and immediately went to join Liu Bei.
He dared to persuade Ma Chao to surrender alone.
Later, he dared to recommend himself in front of Liu Bei, saying that he was qualified to be the Commander-in-Chief of Gaojiang, and asked Liu Bei to let him serve as the Commander-in-Chief of Gaojiang.
During this Nanzhong rebellion, most of the wealthy families in Nanzhong were involved, but Li Hui, the head of the Li family in Nanzhong, stood firmly on the side of the court and expressed the position of the Li family in Nanzhong.
Historical development shows that Li Hui was right.
After the old demon Zhuge pacified Nanzhong, all the big families in Shu were disgusted by the old demon Zhuge.
As the chief culprit of the Nanzhong rebellion, Feng Yong believed that the Nanzhong clan would only be the main target of Zhuge Lao Yao's disgust.
Otherwise, when the Shu Han was destroyed, the aristocratic families in Shu would still be leading the way.
And what about the big families in Nanzhong?
Adou of Jincheng surrendered and the Han Dynasty was dead. Huo Yi still defended Nanzhong and refused to surrender. None of the important people in Nanzhong dared to come out and play.
This shows that the Han Dynasty's control over the large families in Nanzhong was quite successful.
The decline of the great clans in Nanzhong naturally started with Zhuge Lao Yao's pacification of Nanzhong.
Li Hui, who also came from a wealthy family in Nanzhong, was named Han Xingtinghou for his contribution to pacifying Nanzhong and was granted the title of General Anhan.
Therefore, although Feng Yong believed that Li Hui should be prepared when he went to Dian Lake with such a small number of troops, he also believed that this was another adventure of Li Hui's.
Just because the Li family originally had the surname of Yizhou County, and Li Hui governed Nanzhong as the governor of Xijiang, and was always prestigious in Nanzhong, and there was Meng Yan as an internal agent, I thought that even if the trip was unsuccessful, he should be able to go out.
Nothing happened.
At most, like Zhang Yi, the former governor of Yizhou County, he would be captured and paraded through the streets.
That's the good thing about being from a noble family. Regardless of the enemy or our side, even if you lose a battle and are captured, you can survive the defeat because of your family background and the use of your huge network of connections.
Li Hui could take risks, but Feng Yong was a country bumpkin. Although Li Yi once said that he had a good reputation in Nanzhong, it was definitely not a good reputation for Feng Yong.
The current state of Nanzhong that has been turned into a mess by the vigilante groups is inseparable from Feng Tubao.
Compared with the big families in Shu, the big people in Nanzhong have a stronger desire to bury Feng Tibi alive.
So he didn't dare to take risks and went to Wei County. Of course, the more people he brought with him, the better - it would feel safer this way.
There is no need to equip these people with weapons anyway.
If Feng Yong was more sinister, it would make sense for them to find a way to solve their own problems all the way south, even for food.
After all, they didn't understand the spirit. At least for now, they all felt that they were going to Wei County to buy labor.
It's just that Feng Yong, as a conscientious gentleman, would naturally not do such a shady thing.
So he coughed, raised his third finger, and was about to open up the matter and said, "Well, for the third time, all the food along the way will be provided by the Governor's Mansion. But if you get to the end of the field and encounter barbaric officials,
The rebels and the like are coming to attack Wei County, so everyone has to help."
As soon as these words came out, everyone below was shocked and confused.
Only then did they remember that Yizhou County was still considered a rebel territory.
If barbarians or rebels come to attack us, that is the most natural thing.
"Feng Langjun, if you want me to help defend the city, then this shouldn't be the way the labor is sold, right?"
There is no shortage of smart people in the world.
What's more, these stewards who lead people into war-torn places?
How can I sit in this position without any brains?
At that moment, someone felt that they had figured out the connection, so they spoke up.
There were also thoughtful looks on everyone's faces.
"Whose family does this speaker belong to?"
Feng Yong did not answer the man's words. He just turned his head and asked Li Yi softly.
"Liu family, Marquis of Liudu Township."
Li Yi also replied softly, and then added one more sentence for fear that Feng Yongyong would understand the situation, "The Marquis of Liu Du Township is a talkative by nature. He likes to recite articles and listen to music on weekdays. I heard that he has handed over the management of Fuzhong in recent years.
His son Liu Liang will take charge of it."
Feng Yong nodded, thinking that he couldn't be wrong.
Although he had only met Liu Liang a few times, because of Zhang Ji's incident, he was probably considered a love rival in his eyes.
It's normal to dislike yourself.
"Yiwen, go and find that guy."
Feng Yong raised his chin and gestured to the guy.
"promise."
Zhao Guang responded, then walked into the crowd, stretched out his hand, put it on the man's shoulder, and shook it hard.
The man subconsciously took a step back, but he did not dare to resist. He felt that Zhao Guang's hand on his shoulder was almost crushing the bones with force, and he couldn't help but groan.
"Come out and speak out, don't hide in the crowd."
Zhao Guang grinned, and with a little more force on his hand, he half dragged and half pulled him out.
"I am a very reasonable person, and I think what you say makes sense. Tell me, in your opinion, what kind of price should the labor cost?"
Feng Yong asked with a smile on his face.
The man had already flinched three points, but when he saw Feng Yong saying this with a smile, and then thought that there were so many people watching around, and that he was still a person from the Hou Mansion, even Zhao
Jiejiro, you can't act recklessly, right?
Otherwise, wouldn’t it offend Liu Junhou?
Moreover, if he admits to being cowardly, he will not only be laughed at by others, but will also embarrass the Hou family.
Thinking of this, he straightened up his back again and said, "Feng Langjun, we people have sacrificed our lives to come to Nanzhong to find labor, isn't it just for a bite to eat?"
"In the past, when we went out, we had to work hard and there were casualties, but as long as we caught the labor, it was ours, and we didn't have to spend extra money on food."
"But this time it's different. The barbarian is here, everyone is working hard, and they still have to pay to buy people. This doesn't make sense."
He is very articulate and speaks clearly.
Feng Yong glanced at the people below and saw a look of wavering on some people's faces.
He looked at the steward in front of him again and asked warmly, "What about your opinion?"
"If you want us to help defend the city, that's easy. But Feng Langjun has to agree that after defending the city, he will share the labor with us according to the merits."
When the man saw that Feng Yong didn't look angry at all, he felt happy and quickly told his plan.
At the same time, I thought to myself, everyone said that Feng Langjun was very clever, but it seemed like this. He wanted our help and wanted benefits, but I didn't expect that I would see through it.
Feng Yong nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."
The man's face finally showed joy.
Then I saw Feng Yong gesture to Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang understood, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed him from behind neatly.
Feng Yong nodded with satisfaction, he was worthy of being the person who has been with him for so long.
Then, before the opponent could react, Feng Yong raised his foot and kicked him violently in the abdomen.
A sharp pain came from his stomach, and the steward couldn't help but arched his body.
Feng Yong felt annoyed and kicked him again. At the same time, he turned his face and cursed, "I'm giving you face? Ah? I'm telling you this to give you an advantage. You don't want it?"
"Are you going to be happy if I bring him back from Wei County and deliver him to you?"
"If you don't want to, then get out of here!"
…
How big a deal was the Southern Expedition?
It is directly related to the peace of the man's backyard.
Now Li Hui sent people back, and specifically asked Li Yi to come to Feng Yong and ask him to take people south to help.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Feng Yong was not a fool, so how could he not understand the implication?
When the people from the Governor's Mansion led the troops south, they also specifically asked them to lead people to take care of the prisoners of war. This was obviously due to a shortage of manpower.
Of course, at the same time, he also wanted to let Feng Yong take Li Yi to get some credit. After all, Li Yi was Feng Yong's right-hand man. As long as Feng Yong went, Li Yi would naturally follow him.
If you can help, get credit, and get benefits, why not do it?
Not only must we do it, but we must also find ways to do it safely.
It's a matter of national importance, and it's also about the merits and benefits of my brothers. It's not a big deal to give up some benefits.
But I didn't expect that there are still people who feel that they are not taking advantage enough and are still looking for trouble at this juncture. How could Feng Yong not be extremely angry?
Feng Yongyue became more and more angry as he spoke. He kicked him six or seven times, until he curled up on the ground like a cooked shrimp.
Feng Yong then looked at him coldly, "Go back and tell Liu Liang that after I build up the Nanzhong industry, I hope he will not regret letting you be the manager of Nanzhong. By then, the Liu family will not
There is a small share."
"If he doesn't believe it and dares to stretch out a finger, I will chop off the entire hand. If he dares to stretch out a toe, I will chop off the entire leg! Get out!"
After Zhao Guang heard this, he directly dragged the person up and threw him outside the door.
When all the stewards looked at it, they were secretly stunned. This Zhao family's second son, after all, is the son-in-law of Old General Zhao. Why do you listen to Feng Langjun like this? He does whatever he is told. Are you Feng Langjun's dog?
At the same time, I felt as if I had heard some incredible news.
Does Feng Langjun really want to start a business in Nanzhong?
Thinking of this, everyone's thoughts couldn't help but start to come alive.
If anyone else had said this, it would have been a joke - what kind of industry can be done in the wilderness?
But Feng Langjun is different!
He is an extremely tough and golden brand.
Look at Hanzhong. Wasn’t it the same desolate place two years ago?
What about now?
As for the pastures and workshops, how many people now rely on them for food?
Just transporting grain to Nanxiang and selling it can make a lot of money!
Not to mention those who were the first to follow Feng Langjun to Hanzhong.
Aren't there just a few standing in front of you?
I heard that the Huang family and the Li family also had a relationship with Feng Langjun, so they turned over.
Everyone suddenly felt that it was right for the second son of the Zhao family to listen to Feng Langjun like this. If possible, they could lick it more happily.
"Gudong", someone couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Nanzhong is in chaos. If Feng Langjun wants to open a new industry here, he will need a lot of manpower, right?
I don't expect to get much benefit, I just say that like the old soldiers who went to Hanzhong, they have no worries about food and clothing, have a literate girl to warm their bed, and have two or three children, then this life will be worth it.
"Who else?"
Feng Yong brushed the hem of his clothes as if there was dust on them, and asked calmly, "If anyone else has any questions, you can ask them directly. Let's talk about it together."
No one said anything.
At the same time, he said silently in his heart, what should we talk about?
However, they also knew that there would definitely be dangers in going to Wei County, but the benefits would be even greater.
Wasn't it dangerous to go south to work in the past? And you had to bring your own dry food - the price of dry food was very expensive.
The most important thing is that if you don't encounter barbarian attacks within a month, you have done nothing. If you change hands, you can earn fifty cents in vain for one labor.
Where can I find such a good thing?
Moreover, Wei County has been recovered now, and there are still soldiers from the Dudu Mansion in front of them. The chance that it will be their turn to defend the city is not too great.
Most of the stewards came from the houses of powerful people in Jincheng. Which one of them has never been on the battlefield? They all know the rules of guarding the city.
Unless there are really not enough soldiers to defend the city, people in the city will not be randomly selected to go up the city wall.
Even if the members of the militia are from the military, they will easily get into trouble because of insufficient cooperation.
The most likely thing is to let them help maintain the rules in the city.
As for the destruction of the city...how can I be afraid of death after eating this food?
After working in this line of work, do you still expect to get out of this job unscathed?
If the whole world has this kind of virtue, where can we retreat to?
After some calculations, everyone felt that seventy cents for a strong laborer was indeed a very reasonable price.
"I'm not forcing everyone to go. As long as they are willing to go, I will bring them to meet at the gate of Nancheng tomorrow at 9 o'clock. I will wait there. I won't wait if it's late."
Feng Yong would not push people too hard, "You don't have to bring anything else, but you must bring the guy who is eating. Do you know what this guy who is eating means?"
"The weapons you have on hand are your breadwinners. The Governor's Mansion does not issue weapons."
There was a chuckle from below, and the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.
But they finally put aside their last worries. Seeing this, Feng Langjun also wants to follow?
Feng Langjun has already gone, so how could these young masters not go?
That’s so scary!
Could it be that my humble life could be more valuable than those of these young gentlemen?
