"After all, she was at fault for the Nanhai Shenni incident, and we can tolerate it. Now, it would be too much to not allow martial arts sects like us to accept disciples!"
"Hmph! That dog prince actually issued an imperial edict and even added it to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Any gathering without the consent of the court is an illegal gathering!"
"If we tolerate this kind of thing today, our sect will no longer exist in the future, and the industry left by our ancestors will also be gone!"
"Hmph! Does this dog prince really think that the whole world belongs to him?
So what if he has an army?
Is it possible to kill so many of us?"
…
The heads of the major martial arts sects discussed with each other and were very dissatisfied with what Lin Fan had done recently.
"Everyone, how about this, let's go to the capital together and discuss it with that dog prince!"
One person suggested.
"Yes! Not only are we going, but we are also bringing all our disciples there to show them how huge the number of martial arts people like us is!"
"Haha! There are more than seventy of our sects together, and more than thirty thousand disciples. If we go to the capital together, we will definitely scare that bitch prince!"
"Hehe! There are more than 30,000 people. Thinking about it, we are looking forward to it. If the dog doesn't kneel down and apologize to us, we won't leave the capital!"
"Hmph! At worst, we can have a good fight with that dog prince, no matter who is afraid of the other!"
The heads of the major martial arts sects expressed their stance one after another, and their disciples also raised their weapons high and shouted that they were going to the capital to meet the prince.
At this time, Lin Fan was inspecting the countryside!
He banned all opium dens in the Ming Dynasty, and many people in the Ming Dynasty made a living by growing tobacco leaves.
After all, not all land is suitable for growing food. The village Lin Fan is in now is backed by mountains and the land is barren. All the people grow are tobacco leaves.
"Grandpa! What are you doing sitting here?
The tobacco leaves are ripe, let’s pick them quickly and go to the city to sell them for money!”
An old farmer sat alone on the ground, looking at the tobacco field in front of him, with a sad expression on his face.
A little girl was running around beside him. The old farmer saw that the little girl was so happy and couldn't bear to disturb her. However, he really couldn't be happy.
"Old man, what are you doing sitting here on a hot day?"
Lin Fan passed by this place and stepped forward to ask.
The old farmer glanced at Lin Fan and said: "Alas! Young man, you don't know, our village is full of tobacco growers, but His Royal Highness the Prince has closed all the opium dens in the city, and now no one buys it.
Our tobacco leaves are gone!”
"Look, this year's tobacco harvest is so good. I could have sold it at a good price and bought some good clothes for my baby!"
"Now, I don't know how we will live next."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Tobacco leaves do not have to be sold to opium dens. I heard that His Highness the Prince is collecting tobacco leaves now, and he will collect them every year in the future. As long as they are of good quality, they can be sold at a good price!"
"Well! Young man, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
The old farmer looked at Lin Fan in disbelief.
"Why am I lying to you? I just came from the capital. His Royal Highness wants to process the tobacco leaves and make them into simple tobacco leaves. It seems to be called Huazi!"
"From now on, those who want to smoke can just buy Huazi and smoke!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
He has already sent people to select sites to build tobacco factories. He will buy the tobacco leaves grown by these people, and he will buy them in large quantities.
You must know that the people in Turks, Tatars, Tubo and other places will definitely have a higher demand for Huazi. With this thing, it will be easier to control them.
"This! This... baby, go back to your father quickly. Let's pick the tobacco leaves quickly and take them to the capital to sell them!"
The old farmer said excitedly.
"Okay! Grandpa is going to pick tobacco leaves, hehe!"
The little girl ran back happily.
After a while, the people in the village ran out and asked about the tobacco leaves. After receiving Lin Fan's affirmative answer, they all started picking tobacco leaves.
Lin Fan inspected a few more villages. After returning, he asked people to spread the news throughout the country. Soon, tobacco leaves from all over the country were gathering towards the capital.
At the same time, Lin Fan also received another news. A large number of martial arts people were coming to the capital. In just three days, more than 10,000 people had gathered.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Something big has happened. All the martial arts people are here! They must be here to take revenge on me. I'm afraid I can't save my life!"
Li Guozhen became anxious and came to Lin Fan for help.
Lin Fan looked at Li Guozhen's cowardly look and said with disdain: "Old Li, why are you so cowardly?
Didn’t more than 10,000 people come?
One hundred thousand Xuanjia troops are in the city. If they dare to kill you, I will kill them!"
Li Guozhen couldn't help but give Lin Fan a big roll of his eyes and thought to himself, what's the use of killing them all?
I'm still dead!
Li Guozhen said: "Your Highness, I believe that it is better to die than to live, so try not to let me die!"
"In that case, I will give you a task. You go find them and ask them to come to me."
Lin Fan said.
"Ah! Your Highness, they came here just to kill me. If I took the initiative to find them, they wouldn't have hacked me to death on the spot!"
Li Guozhen said in a deep voice.
"Old Li, do you think it takes so many people to kill you?"
Lin Fan said speechlessly.
If a few hundred people come and say they are the ones who killed Li Guozhen, Thaksin believes that more than 10,000 people have come now. According to the information Jinyiwei has received, more people are coming one after another. Could it be that they are the ones who killed Li Guozhen?
It is somewhat possible to say that they rebelled. Lin Fan guessed that these people came because of the imperial edict he issued.
Since they are here to cause trouble for themselves, instead of waiting for them to make trouble, it is better to take the initiative to find them and send Li Guozhen there.
"Yes! You don't need so many people to kill me, but what are they doing here?"
Li Guozhen looked at Lin Fan and asked.
A strange smile appeared on Lin Fan's lips, and he said: "Of course they are here to find me. You go find them for me and ask their heads to come over."
"Don't worry, no matter how fierce those people yell, they won't dare to take action against you. You must have the backbone and attitude to avoid losing the face of this prince."
"Okay... OK, I'll go, but I have one request. Let me bring 10,000 Jin Yi guards there. This way, those people can also know His Highness the Crown Prince's determination to protect me!"
Li Guozhen said in a deep voice.
"Ten thousand Jin Yiwei! Why didn't you tell me that I would let you be the commander of the Jin Yiwei?
Wouldn't it be easier if I just let my third brother go?
Are you sure you don't want such a good opportunity to make a contribution?"
