retaliate

Chapter 225 Don't be reluctant

"Yang Xuan took the initiative to invite Ying to organize the county school." He Yi said sarcastically in Han Li's valet room: "Most of the upper middle class families in Chenzhou are in Lin'an, and most of these families have family traditions. Just waiting for the imperial examination. Who studies the county school? Those common people."

"He wants to get a county school. He wants to be famous." Han Li stroked his beard. Since the last bribery incident, his reputation has basically been rotten.Fortunately, the background is strong, so it has not been marginalized.

"Money and food are in short supply in the state recently. It is quite difficult for us to ask for money and food for official business. In order to be fair, you can only decline and let him raise it himself." He Yi smiled very comfortably, "When Yang Xuan moved from Taiping, I don’t have much money with me.”

"The envoy gave him convenience, and he took down the army as soon as he came, so he gained a firm foothold." Han Li had some inexplicable emotions in his eyes, as if he was envious, "Then he wanted to meddle in the school, which is your responsibility." Ministry. This person is full of vigor, and he wants to gradually erode our power, so be careful."

Among Si Gong's missions to join the army were schools, for example, Zhou Xue was under He Yi's jurisdiction.

A stern look flashed in He Yi's eyes, "There is no place in the city for him to run a school. Who can the county school recruit? It's nothing more than the common people. The people are poor, and the county school has to subsidize a lot every year. The Lord will not agree. Things... something to watch."

The two smiled at each other.

Han Li said indifferently: "Those teaching assistants in your hands must be locked up. Don't make wedding dresses for others."

He Yi smiled and said: "No way. Let Yang Xuan find Mr. by himself."

……

Cao Ying sent another letter.

"Old Cao said that the development of Taiping is in full swing and the situation is very good."

Yiniang looked at Yang Xuan with some distress, "It's a good foundation, but Mr. Lang has to leave."

"Taiping is too small." Yang Xuan also wanted to stay there, but unfortunately, unless he raised the flag to rebel, the development of Taiping would sooner or later hit an insurmountable ceiling.

"Leaving Taiping, the old thief feels distressed." Wang Laoer felt uncomfortable for the old thief.

"Why is my heart hurting?" the old thief said calmly, but crushed the grass roots in his hands into pieces.

"Taiping is too small." Yang Xuan emphasized again, "At this moment, if you raise the flag, you don't need the Northern Xinjiang army, and the Chenzhou army can crush us."

"Yes." Yi Niang looked sad.

"Chenzhou has even greater potential. I have initially captured the army. This is the first step. The second step is to capture the hearts of the people."

Once the flag is pulled, the morale of the army and the people are the key. If these two things are won, the basic market will not be able to escape.

"Schools have to be built."

Yang Xuan said firmly.

"Money and food is a big problem." The old thief scratched his head.

money!Your knife that kills people without blood...Yang Xuan also has a headache, "I will think of a way."

He was sitting in the study pondering, but at some point he was the only one left in the room.

"Suzaku."

"I'm here."

"Is there any cheap way to build a school?"

"Cottages."

"Are you trying to piss me off?"

"You can still borrow money."

"Lending is a vampire."

"You can find good people to donate to support education."

"Where is the good man, hey!"

Yang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

"I thought of a way."

The problem found a way out, and Yang Xuan was in a good mood.

Walking out of the study, there are several boxes piled up outside.

"This is……"

Yiniang laughed and said, "What can I do with this money? Your husband wants to build a school, so just take it."

The old thief looked reserved, "If the villain is short of money, he will go to others to discuss and get some, and the money will be used to build the school."

The others in his mouth are probably corpses.The hollow eyes of the corpse looked weakly at an old man who cupped his hands with a smile, "The old man is just looking for some money to spend. If the nobleman keeps silent for ten breaths, the old man will accept it as a nobleman."

Wang Lao Er had the most money, he sniffed, "If I don't have money to buy meat, I'll go hunting."

Yang Xuan felt warm in his heart, "I have other ways."

He went to the state to ask for leave, saying that he was returning to Taiping to encourage immigration.

"Go early and return early."

The old man looked at him, unable to export the reminders in his heart.

……

peace.

Qian Ji is like an ant on a hot pot, fidgeting in the value room.

He has already sent a letter to Chang'an, explaining the current situation in a nutshell, in one sentence: the old man is in a tight siege, quickly find a way to get the old man away.Even if you go to southern Xinjiang to be an official.

But there has been no feedback from Chang'an.

"Master Money Book."

A small official came.

"What's the matter?"

"The Ming government calls."

Qian Ji shivered, "Okay."

After Cao Ying became the county magistrate, she had given him several slaps in a calm manner, which made him hard to tell.

"The old dog couldn't beat the old man to death with a single stick, which shows that the means are extremely mediocre." Qian Ji cheered himself up like this.

But he had an inexplicable feeling that Cao Ying was like a cat, staring at him casually, but didn't want to slap him to death.

"I have seen Ming Palace."

In the valet room, Cao Ying raised her eyes and smiled warmly, "Master Qian came just in time. The shops in the city have been completed. After the merchants settle in, they will need a lot of manpower. I also asked Master Qian to go to the city to encourage recruitment."

It's not a good life.

The key point is that the news that Master Qian is Yang Xuan's opponent spreads all over the city, so that when Qian Ji does something, the common people will spontaneously resist, posing problems and tripping him up.

Once Qian Ji was wrapped in a sack, and when the other party was about to beat him severely, the passing sergeant yelled a few times and rescued Qian Ji.From then on, Qian Ji didn't go out at all.

Qian Ji clutched his stomach, "The lower official has a stomachache."

Shit escape is a science, timing is very important.

Cao Ying raised her eyes, as if she had never been there before, and said coldly: "The old man ordered you to do things, two out of three times you had abdominal pain, and once you felt dizzy, it seems that Mr. Qian is not feeling well?"

"Yes!" The old man is feeling unwell, what can you do?Qian Ji's eyes were calm.

"This old man is not a mean official." Cao Ying said flatly, "So, this old man can write to Lin'an and tell the envoy."

"It's easy to say." So what can Liu Qing know?Qian Ji smiled.

"If you feel unwell, go home to recuperate. Otherwise, you will not be able to perform your duties as an official. If you are young, you will be wasting money and food in vain, and if you are growing up, you will be dereliction of duty." Cao Ying said sadly: "This old man is the magistrate of Taiping County. , how can you sit idly by? Come, prepare your pen and ink, old man..."

Under the distressed expression, it seemed that a short knife had stabbed Qian Ji's lower abdomen soundlessly.This person is so poisonous... Qian Ji took a deep breath, "I'll go now, sir."

He then went to the city.

"Go to work?"

"Yes, go to work."

"How much is the salary?"

"Is it less?"

"Yes, a lot less."

"Where's that money? Could it be that it was embezzled by the money master?"

"Old dog, I have long heard that you are greedy for money!"

An ordinary recruitment quickly turned into a denunciation of Qian Ji.

"What are you waiting for?" Qian Ji backed away slowly.

A group of people grinned grimly.

"I'm waiting for justice!"

"When Yang Ming's mansion was here, you old thief gave him difficult problems all day long, and today you and I will do justice for the heavens."

"The old man is... ouch!"

Qian Ji received a punch and shouted, "Come on! Come on!"

But the accompanying officials stood by and watched, and someone said calmly, "It's almost there!"

Since Yang Xuan was framed, Qian Ji became a public enemy of Taiping, and even these petty officials looked down on him.

Qian Ji was punched again, and he tried his best to raise his head, trying to remember the appearance of the attacker, but these thieves would change places after punching, so cunning that he wanted to vomit blood.

After a child kicked him, the attack stopped abruptly.

"Mingfu is here."

Someone shouted happily.

"It's Yang Ming's mansion, no, it's Yang Sima coming."

In an instant, there was no one in front of Qian Ji. Those common people who were fierce just now were like satisfied clients, and he was the tortured old prostitute who was ruthlessly abandoned.

"Sima."

"Meet Sima."

The people saluted one after another.

Yang Xuan smiled and clasped his hands, looking at these people with obviously different spirits, he whispered to the old thief: "What the people want is food and clothing. Only when they have food and clothing can their spirits be boosted. People have spirits and spirits." Only then can Datang's energy be boosted."

The spirit of Datang has risen, what is Beiliao?
What is Southern Zhou?
On the side, Jin Qiao and Hong Yazhi stood together. Looking at this scene, Jin Qiao couldn't help praising: "Over the years, I have traveled a lot and met many officials. Those officials are either mediocre or greedy. Those who are capable There are many, but not as good as this person."

Hong Yazhi said: "This Sima came from the lower class, look, his smile to those common people is extremely sincere."

"That's right! He was born at the bottom and felt the suffering of the people, so Taiping's officials are the strictest. He protects the people. Look at the eyes of those people. Dare I say that if Yang Xuan said at this moment that he wanted to attack Beiliao, those The crazy people will bring their own dry food and follow him with their families." Jin Qiao sighed.

"He has won the hearts of the people, what matters is his means." Hong Yazhi obviously saw something else, "The government lends money to the people to buy seeds, which is the first of its kind in the Tang Dynasty. Based on this alone, Taiping took the lead. Second. He opened up business, for which he withstood the opposition from Lin'an, and now looking at the prosperous Taiping, who wouldn't praise him for his foresight?"

"There are still those workshops." What Jin Qiao regretted the most was his reserve at the beginning. If Yang Xuan had yelled at the beginning, he would have come to Taiping to do business. Now he can stand at the front, smiling and talking Yang Sima spoke.

"Those workshops have recruited a lot of workers. There are fewer and fewer idlers in the city, and every family can earn money. Our business has also improved a lot, tsk tsk! This old man is thinking about Yang Sima, if he is allowed to work in Chenzhou Inspector, what will become of our Chenzhou?"

Jin Qiao thought for a while, "I'm afraid it will become the Jiangnan Beyond the Great Wall, the Pearl of Northern Xinjiang."

Yang Xuan glanced over, and nodded slightly after seeing the two of them.

"Meet Sima."

"Sima worked hard."

The two saluted respectfully.

Yang Xuan beckoned, Jin Qiao and Hong Ya were flattered, and trotted over.

"Is the business okay?" Yang Xuan asked with a smile.

"Okay, very good." Jin Qiao said excitedly, "Every day is busy."

"That's good." Yang Xuan asked seemingly indifferently: "I heard that some wealthy merchants from Chang'an are confronting you?"

Hong Yazhi's old face turned red, "Yes."

Yang Xuan asked: "What was the result?"

The two bowed their heads.

It's like the appearance of a child who didn't study well when he went home and faced his parents, he was ashamed beyond words.

Yang Xuan sighed: "Our merchants in Chenzhou are still a little weaker."

Who said no!
After all, Chenzhou is just a corner, while the rich merchants in Chang'an are facing the whole Tang Dynasty.

The two of Jin Qiao felt uncomfortable and a little ashamed.

"Come back to the county office, I'll think of a way for you."

The two were stunned, watching Yang Xuan enter the county hall.

"Mr. Lang." Cao Ying did not expect Yang Xuan to come.

"You messed with you." Yang Xuan sat down, and everyone rushed to salute, everyone seemed extraordinarily happy.

It's like the New Year's atmosphere.

I'm not a mascot!
Yang Xuan smiled and greeted everyone one by one, and finally discussed things with Cao Ying.

"The army is in hand? Okay!" Cao Ying slapped her thigh, but with too much force, she wanted to scream, but held back, but her face turned red.

With the army in hand, this is an extremely important step.

"To win the hearts of the army, you must also win the hearts of the people." Yang Xuan said, "I came to Taiping for alms."

"Almsgiving?"

Later, many rich merchants from the city came.

Yang Xuan sent people to get some tea, asked the merchants to sit down, and said, "I am very pleased to see that you are doing well in Taiping."

The businessmen looked at the young Sima in front of them, and thought that Taiping and their own good situation were pioneered by this person, and they couldn't help feeling a little more regretful.

Discriminating against businessmen is Datang's basic policy, but Yang Xuan does not discriminate against them.

Wouldn't it be great if Yang Sima was still working in Taiping?

Yang Xuan sighed suddenly, "I heard in Chenzhou that there are wealthy merchants from Chang'an who came to Taiping. They used money to break up the business and robbed you of a lot of business."

The businessmen bowed their heads, speechless.

Throwing money at them is hurting people with their roots. They don’t have enough capital, so they can only pretend to be grandsons... Yang Xuan said: "Do you want to be relatives or not, people from my hometown, Chenzhou is my second hometown, how can I sit idly by outsiders?" Rampage?"

The merchants were overjoyed in their hearts, and fixed their fiery eyes on Yang Xuan.

I took the bait... Yang Xuan said: "I've been thinking about it for a long time in Lin'an. The only way for you to compete with the rich merchants in Chang'an is to develop rapidly."

How can it develop?
"The merchants from the Vasie Department have come as they should. In other words, it is unrealistic to expand the business on a large scale in a short period of time."

"But we can't just stare at a Vache." Yang Xuan was like a most skilled fisherman, casting bait little by little.Seeing these businessmen snorting, he smiled, "Lin'an is facing the Jibo Department. The Jibo Department has more cattle and sheep, more fur, and more specialties."

Someone finally couldn't help it anymore and raised his hand.

Yang Xuan nodded, and the man said, "Sima, we also tried at the Jibo Department, but Wynn is very ambitious for Chenzhou, and he doesn't allow businessmen from the Jibo Department to come to Chenzhou to do business. He even threatened those businessmen, saying what? Watch out for horse thieves."

Everyone knows the meaning of these words: go to Chenzhou, be careful not to come back.

Yang Xuan nodded, and said lightly: "I will make an offer that the merchants of the Jibo Department cannot refuse. Are you credible?"

Jin Qiao was the first to stand up, and said with a red face: "This old man firmly believes in this."

"Sima just follow orders!"

This is reputation!
The merchants' faces were flushed, and they ordered to prepare for a gluttonous feast.

You can take the initiative only when others take the initiative to speak about many things, Yang Xuan looked embarrassed, "But it is difficult to ask the government to do such things for you."

"What's wrong, Sima just give orders!" Hong Yazhi desperately wanted to leave a deep impression on Yang Xuan.

To win the morale of the army, you have to win the hearts of the people.And businessmen can't ignore it.If you can gather merchants by your side as your own power...

No one knows the sharpness of capital better than Yang Xuan, and no one knows better than him that capital is a double-edged sword.

In this Great Tang, only I can manipulate capital...Yang Xuan smiled, "We must build a good reputation first. For this reason, I thought of a way. There is no county school in Lin'an, and the common people have nowhere to go to school..."

Jin Qiao raised his hand and shouted almost like a roar: "How much does it cost to build a school, Sima just orders!"

Yang Xuan was stunned, "Don't force yourself."

"The villain is willing!"

"If Sima doesn't allow me to donate money, he will look down on me!"

"The villain is willing to donate money to build the county school!"

"The villain is willing to donate [-] yuan!"

"..."
