Fang Jun didn't think anything of it at first. At first he was angry 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 didn't like the Xiao family and wanted 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 benefit themselves.
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...
Does Bang Chui make sense to you when doing things?
He did not 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 ask for peace in a low voice.
Fang Jun said with a straight face and an upright 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 realize our shame and then be brave?"
Act to the end.
Xiao Rui was so angry that his temples were beating hard, and his heart was saying, "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 he would ignore the stick 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 raised, as long as they are within their ability, the Xiao family will definitely not make Erlang feel wronged..."
Fang Jun blinked and said: "From the beginning of summer, the 'Eastern Datang Company' and the shopkeepers under the Fang family's name 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 business.
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 is the stick that was 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, they naturally found ways to build a few and study them carefully. Without too much technical content, the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty
The level is still very high. I dismantled a few aircraft and quickly understood the principles, so it spread widely.
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 to the town. They are all members of distinguished families. The name of the Fang family cannot suppress these people...
Xiao Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
He was most afraid that Fang Jun would make political demands, such as asking the Xiao family to stand behind him unconditionally and support him when he recommended 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 families 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 shame 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 turn against him. The legitimate son of the Lanling Xiao family, the current son-in-law of His Majesty, and the most outstanding figure among the children of the family, had he ever 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, the Youtun Guard and the Youwu Guard, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, have all been assembled. Flags are flying, 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!
Ba Zhuo, Tu Midu and others rode their horses around the camp, quietly looking at the Tang Dynasty army in front of them, feeling resentment, 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.
He crippled the elite warriors gathered by Tiele tribes, causing the domineering Xueyantuo Khanate to follow in 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 the world, 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 overbearing Tang army will dare to launch an indiscriminate killing in Mobei. All the Tiele tribe will suffer annihilation, annihilation and genocide.
It’s not a lie…
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 can never cooperate secretly. Instead, we will mobilize the tribe to resist! Why are our Tiele tribe so strong? It is because of their mobility that they never settle down in one place, and because of their willpower tempered by the harsh environment.
, and the strong body that has been cultivated since childhood by living in water and grass! Once Fang Jun's wishes are fulfilled, the descendants of my Tiele tribe will live in the city to resist the wind, sand and cold, and forget our ancestors by reading Han people's books.
They even became cattle and sheep in captivity, and no longer had the wild nature of overcoming obstacles and not fearing death!"
This person looks rude, but is actually shrewd.
You can see through Fang Jun's plan 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
What for? Isn’t it just to plunder women’s wealth? I want to occupy the warm land of Southern Mo, thrive, and no longer fear the bitter cold and desolation of Mo Bei! Now the Tang people are taking them to build cities, lead them to reclaim wasteland, and teach them the art of farming.
, even taught history books, allowed them to take the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty, and became officials of the Tang Dynasty... Just imagine, which tribe would not welcome the Tang people? Anyone who wants to cut off the beautiful future they long for is their enemy.
Even for 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 they used to use their lives to gain but now have at their fingertips? What will they do?
