Fu Song

Chapter 208

Usually at this time, the sky is already bright, but today, because of the thick fog in the mountains and surrounded by the forest, the vision is still not as good as a few steps away.

Yang Wanfu pushed open the wooden door and walked into the yard surrounded by fences. Fan Yifei and a few others had gotten up early and were boxing in the yard.

"Boss?" Fan Yifei put away his posture, and sweat flowed down his bronze-colored skin like a stream. "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

This is of course nonsense, just looking at Yang Wanfu's sleepy eyes with dark circles, it is natural to know that he did not sleep well.

"We've been here for almost half a year, but what Erlang told us has still not been done!" Yang Wanfu let out a heavy breath, "How can we sleep?"

"Boss, you can't blame us, who knew that people here are so cunning?" Fan Yifei sighed. "The business has been negotiated, and we have paid all the money. What can we do if others turn their backs and refuse to let the bill go? After all, this is someone else's territory."

Thinking of this, Yang Wanfu felt melancholy for a while.

He really didn't expect that the magistrate of Duxian County was so devoid of contract spirit.

No, no, no, it's not that there is no spirit of contract, this is completely cannibalism.

Yang Wanfu was ordered to develop Kuizhou Road, and the first stop was Duxian, because Xiao Cheng took a fancy to the location and the mineral deposits here.

After Yang Wanfu arrived, he approached the magistrate of Duxian County to discuss the acquisition of an iron mine here.

In those places under the effective rule of the Guo Dynasty, it is extremely difficult to get a magistrate seat without a Jinshi or a background with a Jinshi, but the person Yang Wanfu met could only speak a few words.

Because this is the land of Jisuo, whether it is the magistrate of the county or the prefecture, whoever is the most powerful person in the local area can be in charge.

Moreover, people in these places do not have to bear the taxes and rents of the state.

The common people only need to pay taxes to the local chiefs.

The local leader is the out-and-out local emperor.

Not paying taxes to the imperial court, not having to take all kinds of corvee, it stands to reason that the people here should live a very happy and prosperous life.

Yang Wanfu is well aware of how heavy the burden is on the common people outside. All kinds of corvee alone can sometimes destroy a middle-level family in an instant.

But the people here are still shockingly poor.

Of course, there are also some rich people.

For example, the magistrate of Du County and those around him.

Their wealth and extravagance made Yang Wanfu dumbfounded.

Cruel rule, extreme exploitation, and human life are worthless. These are all the news Yang Wanfu has seen and inquired about these days.

Speaking of it, Yang Wanfu was deceived by the county magistrate here.

He came here with a letter of introduction from an official in Qianzhou. For this letter of introduction, he spent a hundred guan. That official was related to the county magistrate of Dushan.

Yang Wanfu's identity is a businessman with a rather small background in Bianliang.

I thought that this identity would have a deterrent effect on this little county magistrate, but now it seems that it is of no use.

When we first met, the atmosphere was very friendly.

Yang Wanfu was warmly received.

Good food, beautiful women, everything is available.

Business talks went smoothly.Yang Wanfu obtained the right to mine an iron mine in Dushan County with [-] guan and the price of providing Dushan County with [-] catties of iron every year.And this iron mine was originally unique to the Dushan county magistrate, but their mining technology and smelting technology are extremely primitive, which made a group of masters of Tiangong Iron who followed Yang Wanfu come here again and again. Shake your head.

Yang Wanfu was deceived by the other party's simple and honest appearance, warm reception, and straightforward attitude, and he even gave away one hundred thousand coins in one go.

Then, the Dushan county magistrate turned his face and denied anyone.

Not to mention handing over the iron ore to Yang Wanfu, even Yang Wanfu's face disappeared, and then Yang Wanfu was driven out of the village by this guy's subordinates and a group of people.

Zhaizi is Yang Wanfu's most intuitive evaluation of the place where the Dushan county magistrate lives and where he issues orders.

Of course, the residence of the Dushan county magistrate is extremely magnificent and splendid.

After negotiating several times, the other party's attitude became worse each time, and finally, he simply threatened directly.

As long as you have your money, you are lucky. If you want to talk too much, you will lose the lives of Yang Wanfu and others here.

Who is Yang Wanfu?

The person who climbed out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood has killed people like hemp all his life, and he is the only one who threatens others. Has anyone ever threatened him like this?

He was really so angry.

But on other people's territory, there is really nothing to do.

In the past few months, they have been constantly negotiating, sending people to Qianzhou to find the official who gave the letter of introduction, and spending a sum of money to hope that the other party would come out to mediate. What annoyed Yang Wanfu was that the other party took the money readily. But things are not done.

All of this made Yang Wanfu realize that the set of rules he knew before is completely unworkable here.To get things done, you have to use another set of rules.

Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed again.

No wonder Erlang wants to recruit people like him. If the people here are polite, Erlang only needs to send someone who knows how to do business. Why would he need himself?
Since I let myself come and be responsible for the overall affairs, it is natural that these places adapt to another set of rules.

The strongest wins.

Other people's territory?
Doesn't the strong dragon overwhelm the local snake?

My own strong dragon, this time I just want to press the local snake!

The Jiangdong family said it well, the so-called strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake, it is because the dragon is not strong enough!
"Fan Yifei, how many of our people have arrived?" Yang Wanfu asked after scooping up a handful of water from the sink and wiping his face hastily.

"Boss, bring the master of Tiangong, we only have less than a hundred people, and within three days, we can all gather here!" Fan Yifei said.

"Very good!" Yang Wanfu said with a smile: "In the next two days, you should arrange these people well, don't let the wind out, and don't let outsiders know of their existence. Tomorrow, I will go to Dushanzhai again. , I'll give him one last chance."

"Boss, do you want to do it? Can we have this idea?"

Yang Wanfu sneered: "Have you ever seen wolves hunting sheep? How many wolves are there, how many sheep are there? In my eyes, these bastards are just a bunch of sheep who don't want to die. They are too closed. I'm afraid I have never seen tigers and wolves outside in my life." Jackals! Obviously the tigers and wolves have come to the door, but they are still bleating and roaring at the tigers and wolves to demonstrate. Isn't this courting death or something?"

"Boss, is that guy the magistrate of the country?" Fan Yifei blinked his eyes, "If we really do this, can the guy above hold him down?"

"Get rid of this county magistrate, I will do it myself!" Yang Wanfu said: "This county magistrate is not the other county magistrate. Outside, I would not dare to kill a magistrate if I had ten thousand guts, but here, if I kill it, I will kill it. For Xiao Er As far as the young master is concerned, I am afraid it is just a trivial matter. Once you fly, call the captains of each team, so that we can discuss it for a living."

Han Chong, the team leader of Tiangong Iron Art, is also the apprentice of Mr. Han.This time, ten master craftsmen who are good at iron smelting and casting furnaces were brought here to be responsible for technical matters.

Yue Teng, the leader of the first team of the action team.

Zhang Bin, the leader of the second team of the action team.

Fan Yifei, the leader of the third team of the action team.

The above-mentioned people can actually be counted as armed personnel.

Because guys like Han Chong and the others who have made a living by blacksmithing for half their lives are all big and round. What they lack most is strength.

In this line, there are only a few people such as Lu Gui, and their force value is very low.Their main responsibility is to be responsible for operating the iron mine in the days to come. What they are good at is making money, not fighting.

"We don't have many people!" Lu Gui was a little worried.Among these people, his words carried the most weight except Yang Wanfu.When they set off, Xiao Cheng had already identified their identities. "Huang Ze, the magistrate of Dushan County, has dominated Dushan for many years, and here is his territory. There are thousands of people living in Dushan Village, and there are hundreds of armed personnel alone. Once there is a conflict, I am afraid that we will not be able to resolve it." It's good. Think about this matter again! If it doesn't work, we will reveal the name of the third envoy Xiao Xueshi, even if we can't get the iron ore, it would be good to get the money back."

Yang Wanfu is the general manager.

And Lu Gui is the deputy second.

What he said was naturally very important.

"First of all, you must never reveal the name of the third envoy." Yang Wanfu shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, don't forget what kind of business we are in, iron ore! Guys like Huang Ze can deal in iron ore, you Lu Gui, I, Yang Wanfu, can do it too, but why did Xueshi Xiao secretly get iron ore? Don’t you know about the salt and iron franchise?”

"Oh, I forgot this part, I just wanted to get the money back as a last resort, Huang Ze made it clear that he wanted to hack our money!" Lu Gui said.

"So there's no need for us to be polite to him!" Yang Wanfu said harshly, "It's not a problem about their large number of people. Shopkeeper Lu, the two of us have been in and out of Dushanzhai many times, have you noticed anything?"

Shopkeeper Lu thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head.

"Yifei, tell me!" Yang Wanfu looked at Fan Yifei.

"Poor!" Fan Yifei laughed and said, "Most people are shockingly poor. The second point is that Huang Ze treats the people under his command very cruelly. There are two rows of standing cages outside his mansion. We have been in and out several times, and this cage has never been empty, and people have been locked in it all the time. The third point is the extravagance of Huang Ze and his confidants. Their extravagance, to be honest, exceeds our imagination .”

"It seems so!" Lu Gui thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

"Is such a leader really popular?" Yang Wanfu said, "So what we have to deal with is actually only a small group of people like Huang Ze and his confidants."

"Then there are hundreds of people!" Lu Gui said.

"Not so many. Now is the autumn harvest season. Many of Huang Ze's subordinates have brought people to collect rent and force the people to pay taxes! There are only more than a hundred people around him." Yang Wanfu said with a smile. Yifei has already found out the whereabouts of these people. If we really want to do something, we just need to choose a suitable time, attack Dushanzhai, kill Huang Ze and his henchmen as quickly as possible, and then control The whole cottage."

"Where are his confidants outside?" Han Chong asked.

Yang Wanfu chuckled: "When we control Dushanzhai, we will naturally find a way to lure them back, and then clean them up one by one. Huang Ze is dead, Dushanzhai has no leader, and Huang Ze's rule is so cruel, those who hate him There must be a lot, we just need to organize these people, and we can form a numerical advantage in a short period of time. As for other people, we only need to control their family members, and we can basically control them.”

"Of course there is still a blockade of news. The news that we killed Huang Ze cannot be sent back in a short time." Lu Gui thought for a while, and said: "Then we must quickly pass the news to Jiangdong's family. Because this matter is hidden. It won't be too long, we must let the Jiangdong family or Erlang operate at the upper level to erase this matter."

"It's actually not difficult to erase this matter!" Yang Wanfu said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lu, I have worked in the border areas and dealt with party members before. You know what the imperial court's policy is about Jisuozhou ?"

"How is it?"

"Calm is the best thing!" Yang Wanfu said with a smile: "Dushan County is a place controlled by local wealthy families. The court doesn't care who is in power, as long as it is honest. The governor of Qianzhou is from the Emperor Song Dynasty. I'm afraid he knows Some Huangsong people snatched the control of Dushan, so they just applaud! Of course, these tribal leaders around us may not let it go, but as long as we teach a few more people who dare to trouble us Yes, everything will naturally calm down, and Dushan will be ours in the future, and it will be more enjoyable to do things."

"The boss is right. If Huang Ze took our money and really cooperated with us, I'm afraid there will be a lot of troubles in the future. Now it's very good, and it's over once and for all." Fan Yifei said viciously.

"That's exactly the reason!" Yang Wanfu said, "My son sent us here not just for a Dushan or an iron mine, but to use this place as a base to slowly expand our power. This is only our first mission. Step by step, in the future, slowly, one by one, you must submit to our feet. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!"

Looking at the murderous Yang Wanfu, Lu Gui could not help but shudder.

"Shopkeeper Lu, let's go again tomorrow. Once we fly, you are still clever. When I go to discuss things with Shopkeeper Lu, you can find out the situation in Dushanzhai again." Yang Wanfu ordered.

"Come on!" Fan Yifei smiled and said, "This is my old line of business, so don't worry, boss."

"Yue Teng, Zhang Bin, prepare to mobilize our people!" Yang Wanfu said: "Tomorrow night, we will do it."
