Tiantang Splendid

2156 Threat
Fang Jun didn't think about it at first, he was angry at the beginning and couldn't figure it out, but after thinking about it, he could understand His Majesty Li Er's intention to cover up the truth and turn black and white.

He just simply disliked the Xiao family, and wanted to fill in Xiao Rui's problems...

What's more, if he exposes this matter, His Majesty Li Er can't beat him to death?

Only fools do things that harm others and benefit themselves.

But Xiao Rui doesn't think that Fang Jun is just a mallet in his eyes. Although his talent and ability are amazing, but no matter how inlaid with gold and silver, it is still a mallet...

Do things with a stick make sense to you?
He didn't dare to gamble with the Xiao family's reputation, so no matter how aggrieved and unwilling he was, he had no choice but to lower his noble head of the Lanling Xiao family and humbly beg for reconciliation.

Fang Jun kept a straight face, and said righteously: "We men, stand between the heaven and the earth, without fear of being attacked by thousands of swords, and only want to have a clear conscience! Right and wrong are black and white, good and evil are right and wrong, and we should face it bravely. Xiao Siye's crime, It is certainly a disgrace to the Xiao family, shouldn't we be brave after realizing our shame?"

Act to the end.

Xiao Rui was so angry that his temples thumped, thinking what the hell are you talking about?

If I were alone, I would be fearless, but it would involve the whole family. You want me to let Xiao Siye's crimes destroy the reputation of the Xiao family?
But fortunately, this fellow did not categorically refuse...

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

He didn't even hesitate to make it clear, don't make trouble, why don't we compensate you?
He was really afraid that he would ignore this stick and walk away...

Xiao Rui said in a low voice: "Erlang, you and I are relatives, a family, and the Xiao family's reputation is damaged, so it's no good for you, is it? Your Majesty has decided on this matter, and we should take care of the overall situation. Of course, 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 his eyes, and said: "From the beginning of summer, the shopkeepers of the 'East Datang Company' and the Fang family will come to Mobei to buy wool. In addition to the share, the rest of the wool houses can occupy [-]%... this matter can be discussed."

Xiao Rui: "..."

Almost choked.

He was going to try his best to dissuade him, but as soon as the conditions were announced, this guy immediately came up with a stick...

What about the mallet?

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

Now the entire spinning wheel has been passed down from the south of the Yangtze River to Guanzhong. This thing was mysterious at the beginning, but when the aristocratic family realized the huge profits of cotton cloth, there were naturally some ways to make a few and study it carefully.There is not much technical content, and the craftsmen of Datang are still very high-level. After dismantling a few frames, they quickly understood the principle, so they spread in large numbers.

As far as he knows, not only is there a huge demand for wool in the Western Regions, and the price is rising again and again, even the scale of cotton planting during the spring plowing this year has increased by more than ten times compared to the past, so that Sinong Temple had to inform the Zhengshitang, and then The decree promulgated by the Political Affairs Hall restricts the cultivation of cotton to barren lands such as mountains and barren slopes, and must not encroach on fertile farmland, resulting in a sharp drop in food production...

Now that Mobei is pacified and Xue Yantuo is dead, there are flocks of cattle and sheep in such a vast land, and those who own looms will inevitably turn their attention to it and flock to it.

When it was the wool production season, merchants flocked here, and they were all from families with meritorious relatives. The Fang family's name couldn't hold back these people...

Xiao Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

He was most afraid of Fang Jun's political demands, such as asking the Xiao family to stand behind him unconditionally to support him when he recommended someone for a certain official position...

Even though Xiao Shu'er was married to Fang Jun in the first place to attract Fang Jun and invest in advance, this should be done under the leadership of the Xiao family, rather than the Xiao family rushing forward for Fang Jun, ignoring their own interests.

Fang Jun nodded: "That's fine, let's see how you behave."

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

Fang Jun squinted at him: "Promise? I have always thought that the promise of a family member is fart. For the sake of profit, not only can you take back what you say, but you can swallow everything you pull out... Cough cough, don't get angry, It’s ugly, but it’s the truth!”

Xiao Rui became angry from embarrassment, and cursed angrily: "It's so vulgar, you can't be a son of man!"

Turn around and enter the tent, and ignore Fang Jun again.

He wanted to turn his back on him, the dignified son-in-law of the Xiao family of Lanling, the son-in-law of His Majesty, the most outstanding figure among the children of the family, how has he ever suffered such humiliation?

However, he didn't dare, it was really uncomfortable to hold the anger in his stomach, so he just kept out of sight and out of mind.

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

……

Outside the camp, tens of thousands of soldiers from You Tunwei and You Wuwei had assembled, with flags and flags flying, chariots and horses rumbling, and the army was in full swing.

Especially the Youtunwei, this is the first army formed by the "recruitment system", the only one in the Tang Dynasty, because of the excessive expenditure of military funds, it was impeached by countless censors before, and the eyes of the ruling and opposition parties were all fixed on it , Even most people are waiting to see Fang Jun's jokes.

Under the pressure of this pressure, all the members of Youtunwei were panicked, fearing that their performance would be too poor and they would be dismissed...

Now the guards of Youtun came out of Baidao, swept across Mobei, won the first battle and won a complete victory, they have become a powerful army in the Tang army, with dazzling brilliance and a great reputation, the whole army is full of fighting spirit and confidence, and their natural morale is unprecedented. high!
Ba Zhuo, Tu Midu and others rode their horses around the camp, quietly looking at the great Tang army in front of them, feeling resentment and fear in their hearts, and mixed feelings.

Who would have thought that Xue Yantuo took the lead and tried to provoke Datang to gain some benefits, but such an invincible army and an unreasonable commander brazenly sent troops to retaliate, fighting all the way from Wuchuan Town to Longcheng, Nuo Zhenshui and Zhao Xincheng fought two battles The elite soldiers assembled by Tiele's various tribes were disabled, and the domineering Xueyantuo Khanate followed in the footsteps of the Turks. The army was defeated like a mountain and fell...

This is blood feud.

However, facing such an army and all kinds of firearms that can destroy the world, who would dare to resist brazenly, who would dare to clamor to expel the Tang army from Mobei?

Look at Zhao Xincheng's corpse. As long as someone stands up against Datang, the brutal and domineering Tang army will dare to carry out an indiscriminate massacre in Mobei. No lie...

If you dare not resist, you can only surrender.

Fortunately, the Han people have never taken pleasure in killing, and they have no obsession with the invasion of land outside the Great Wall. They care more about whether the border can be stabilized, whether Hu and Han can cooperate, and whether they can grab benefits.

Ba Zhuo frowned, looked at the majestic soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and said worriedly: "Fang Junzhi said that he wanted to help our clansmen build cities and settle down, establish markets to start trading, and even set up schools in various settled cities to teach history books... ...Even though we dare not disobey, we must not cooperate in secret, and instead want to mobilize our tribe to resist! Why are the people of Wu Tiele so strong? It is because of the mobility of never settling in one place, and because of the will tempered by the difficult environment , and the strong physique cultivated by living in water and grass since childhood! Once Fang Jun’s intention is fulfilled, the descendants of the Wu Tiele tribe will live in the city to withstand the wind, sand and cold, and read the books of the Han people and forget our ancestors. Even become cattle and sheep in captivity, no longer have the wildness of overcoming obstacles and fearing death!"

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

You can see through Fang Jun's plan at a glance, but...

Tu Midu smiled wryly: "How to resist? When our chief gives an order, countless sons will follow and fight the Han people one after another. Even if the bones are buried in Monan, there will be no complaints or regrets. Why? Don’t you want to plunder women’s wealth, want to occupy the warm land of Monan, multiply and thrive, and no longer fear the bitter cold and desolation of Mobei! Now the Tang people lead them to build cities, lead them to reclaim wasteland, and teach farming techniques , and even taught history books, allowing 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 people of the Tang Dynasty? Anyone who wants to cut off the bright future they are looking forward to is their enemy. Even chiefs like you and me!"

Cutting off people's money is like killing one's parents.

So when the Tiele people see a stable life and a bright future, who will stand up and ask them to give up the happiness that they used to use their lives to gain but are now at their fingertips, what will they do?
