    ¡°Kneel down and don¡¯t kill!¡±

    Outside a large village in Nanjingzhou, hundreds of people armed with various weapons were chasing their opponents.

    Li Liang watched the enemy kneeling on the ground begging for mercy with cold eyes, and then ordered: "Clean up the property and food, and take away all the prisoners."

    "yes."

    In just half an hour, all the property and food were loaded onto the car, and the large group of people immediately drove the prisoners away from this uninhabited village.

    "Sir, where should we go next?"

    At this time, Li Liang's subordinates had expanded to more than 3,000 people, and with all kinds of prisoners, the number was almost tens of thousands.

    And those prisoners who escaped from Jiaozhou Mansion became his team.

    "Yesterday, Mingren was only more than ten miles away from us, so we can't stay. Let's leave immediately! Go to Xinpingzhou."

    Li Liang¡¯s judgment is never wrong, which is one of the reasons why he is admired by everyone.

    So the long team set off again, but within a few miles, the trailing scout came running to report with panic on his face: "Sir, the Ming army is catching up."

    "How many people? How many cavalry?"

    Li Liang¡¯s calmness gave everyone some comfort, but the scout¡¯s report made these emotions disappear.

    "My lord, there must be at least tens of thousands of people, and almost two thousand cavalry."

    Li Liang looked at the prisoners with regret, and finally made up his mind: "Leave the prisoners behind, and the extra baggage as well. Let's leave quickly!"

    With a team of more than 3,000 people and some luggage, the speed suddenly increased.

    But some people don¡¯t quite understand Li Liang¡¯s behavior.

    "Why don't you bring more prisoners, sir? That way we will have more people!"

    "Those are the rich and their servants. Your Excellency has said that we are just trying to survive in this troubled world, and we are not the same group as those ambitious wealthy families."

    "Hurry up and leave. The adults naturally have their own considerations. Think about it for yourselves. If it weren't for the adults, we people would have turned into bones long ago!"

    "Yes, your Excellency has read the book, let's just listen to him."

    ""

    Li Liang left, and the baggage left behind caused the prisoners to start fighting among themselves. A battle was about to begin, but the sound of horse hooves made everyone feel cold.

    "Kneel down! Everyone kneels down! Otherwise, we will kill you without mercy!"

    The cavalry were very experienced in circling the prisoners and beating back those who tried to escape with sticks.

    Seeing that the cavalry did not go on a killing spree, the prisoners knelt on the ground and allowed the Ming troops to count the baggage.

    Wu Yue's Qianhu Station has now become a cavalry, but the horses are a bit messy, and there are even donkeys.

    This time Fang Xing sent out Wu Yue's troops, and Fang Zheng sent out thousands of people, led by the commander Wang Du, to catch up with Li Liang who was robbing his house.

    Wang Du looked at the baggage and couldn't help laughing: "It is indeed my uncle, this is a perfect plan!"

    Wu Yue looked at Zhuangzi not far away, and said leisurely and longingly: "When the guard post arrives at the back, these prisoners will be stationed for our army. By then, Jiaozhi will no longer have to work hard to transport food and grass from the Central Plains."

    ¡­¡­

    Fang Xing, who returned to Jiaozhou Prefecture, has already received two batches of various supplies from the army going south. These grains and goods will be an important part of his next plan.

    "Can this opening of the middle method be temporarily suspended?"

    Fang Xing and Huang Fu were discussing matters, and only Wang He was there as the supervisor.

    Huang Fu hesitated and said, "Dehua, this is not easy to handle!"

    Fang Xing always has an infectious energy that can make people he wants to get close to change their attitudes unconsciously.

    When the title changed, both of them became more casual. Fang Xing leaned on his chair and thought for a while: "Like Mr. Xi, those salt merchants running Jiaozhi won't make much profit, right?"

    "There are not many, but opening up the Chinese method is the lifeblood of the salt merchants. Unless the Ming Dynasty can trade salt, those salt merchants will be reluctant to let it go."

    Fang Xing had met salt merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture, so he was not unfamiliar with them.

    Jiaozhi has been going back and forth, so the salt merchants did not dare to pay for the grain in the fields, and the cost of transporting it from the Central Plains was so high that it made people bleed.

    "Now is the time for Shangtun. Let's take a look at the attitude of the salt merchants first."

    Less than an hour later, several salt merchants¡¯ stewards came to the Chief Secretary¡¯s Yamen, but only one salt merchant came in person.

      "Little Chen Mo, I have met my uncle and my lord."

    Unlike the flattering smiles of other salt merchants, Chen Mo's honest appearance made Fang Xing even wonder if he was hiding some traitor.

    "Get up."

    Huang Fu whispered: "This Chen Mo is an honest man, so he delivers it in person every time, and then rushes back to collect the salt."

    Fang Xing nodded slightly, and then handed the situation over to Huang Fu.

    "I asked you to wait this time just to ask about Shangtun. Is there anyone willing?"

    After Huang Fu finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and looked away from these stewards. We had dealt with each other many times and knew each other's thoughts very clearly.

    Sure enough, when these stewards heard that Shangtun was going to be established, they immediately started talking nonsense.

    "Sir, my master is not here, so I don't dare to make the decision!"

    "My lord, how about you wait for me to write a letter and wait for my master's decision?"

    The third steward was about to complain when Fang Xing patted the table and said calmly: "If you don't want to, then forget it. Don't regret it in the future. Those who are willing to stay in Shangtun will leave immediately if they are unwilling!"

    The stewards were secretly happy when they heard this, but they were still worried about the consequences of rejecting Fang Xing and Huang Fu, and were reluctant to leave.

    Huang Fu couldn't help but shouted: "I have never laid a trap on anyone before. Stop pretending and go ahead!"

    The managers of the salt merchants have all left. Before Cochin is completely stable, they dare not take risks and would rather earn less through transshipment.

    But Chen Mo didn¡¯t leave. Instead, he bowed and said, ¡°Young man is willing to settle down in the village.¡±

    Fang Xing and Huang Fu looked at each other, and then asked, "Is it voluntary?"

    Chen Mo smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest with you, uncle and lord, if things continue like this, I won't be able to hold on anymore."

    "good!"

    Fang Xing said with appreciation: "You dare to take risks. Uncle Ben and Mr. Huang really did not misjudge the person."

    Huang Fu also stroked his beard and smiled and said: "The northern part of Jiaozhi has been cleared once by His Royal Highness the King of Han, and in the south, our officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are chasing those rebellious ones. It is not far away that the entire territory of Jiaozhi is pacified!"

    Chen Mo said dullly: "This is my last try. If it doesn't work, I will go home and change my career."

    ¡°I can¡¯t lose you!¡±

    Fang Xing will set a benchmark no matter what, and as the first supporter of Shangtun, Chen Mo is lucky.

    Huang Fu also encouraged: "Go and take a look. Except for those places where sugar cane is to be planted, you can boldly circle them."

    Chen Mo also realized his good luck. He couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Sir, we don't have that many people!"

    "Manpower?"

    Fang Xing chuckled and said, "We have captured many prisoners in several battles, and there will be more in the future. You just have to pay to hire them."

    Some people have fields. Although they are only in the north for the time being, they can easily produce two crops a year!

    Chen Mo couldn't sit still. He hurriedly left, preparing to write a letter back immediately to ask his family to prepare more manpower and money.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
