Xiao Houye's seven-year imperial examination and five-year road to Kaifeng[75]

It's a pity that no matter how much they yelled, they couldn't get a response, because it was too painful. How could the fat man bear this, and he howled like a slaughtered pig, and each sound became more miserable.

The gangsters who didn't get a response couldn't see what was going on outside, and could only endure the heart-piercing screams coming from their ears.

And the people standing in the audience clapped their hands and applauded, because before the execution, Zhao Jue had sent someone to tell what these people had done for many years. No one did not hate these gangsters, especially gangsters. Jiang, who went to the county town to start a headhunter, is especially hateful.

One, two, the smell of blood on the stage became more and more intense, and the remaining few people almost understood what happened to the person in front of them. For those who were timid, when their legs became hot, there was a puddle of things on the ground , This made the onlookers cover their noses one after another, and even backed away a little.

No way, dirty!

At this moment, a few strong men suddenly appeared from all around, armed with weapons, and whoever shouted, "The robbery field!"

Ordinary people scattered in all directions, and no one wanted to be accidentally injured.

The target of those people was the few people who were tied to the stakes. Strictly speaking, it should be that Jiang.

Before these people got close to the stake, something exploded in front of them, and colorful paint splashed on all of them.

"It's a good time to come. Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving." Zhao Jue said with a smile.

"It's finally here, I'm tired of waiting!" The captain of the guard immediately became excited when he saw the little 30 people, he had been waiting for a long time!

That's right, why did Zhao Jue make this so lively, and even choose ten days later, just to give those copycats a chance to fall into the trap.

If the nearby stockades are not removed, there will be no peace here.

Why did the host who cooperated with Jiang hang up? This Jiang is not only fine, but also became the head arrester of this county, it is unbearable!

Since it is time to make an example of others, it is natural not to let them go!

"!" This group of people still don't understand, this is a trap specially set for them, "I've been tricked!"

"Run!"

"It's already here, if you don't stay, you can't justify it." The captain of the guard picked an opponent and quickly blocked the opponent's way. He waited for more than ten days before he found the opportunity to perform like this. How could he let the opponent run away? .

What a joke, he is going to rely on this to save his precarious image in the mind of their lord!

Ten days ago at Nalan Ruo Inn, it was a stain that he couldn't wash off in his life!

The eight guards are all as if they have been beaten with chicken blood. Without him, they all have the same idea, clean up the stains!

There are more than 30 gangsters, and there are only eight of them. Naturally, it is impossible to catch them all. The premise is that there are only eight of them, which is obviously impossible. What is the purpose of the Xiang army? Do you really think they can only build bridges and pave roads? ?

The Xiang army, which had been hiding early, was surrounded by these gangsters when they came to rob the execution ground. It was impossible to escape. As long as they wanted to escape, the archers would always be there to serve them.

As for whether they will accidentally injure the common people, that is even more impossible. The people in the robbery field are covered in colorful paints, which are completely different from ordinary people.

What's more, those people had already retreated and ran away as early as the first time, and no one wanted to risk their lives, so it was impossible to get paint on their bodies.

This is a method that Pang Yu came up with specially. The paints are filled with relatively elastic bubbles. When the robbers approach, they can just shoot through them with a bow and arrow.

For this reason, Zhao Jue also praised the cub, as worthy of being raised by him, he is smart!

"It's all over..." Mr. Jiang was ripped off the cloth strips from his eyes, and seeing his companions in the village were caught one by one, he couldn't help muttering to himself.

He didn't expect that King Xiangyang was only a teenager, and his mind was so vicious. At this moment, he regretted so much, why did he provoke such a guy.

It's a pity that it was too late, and the village he had worked so hard to build was all gone. If he hadn't been greedy for the bald man's treasure, maybe he wouldn't have ended up like this.

All the people were arrested, and the Lanruo Temple incident ended. All the participants were given different punishments according to their crimes. Naturally, the evil leader had to experience a punishment that was worse than death. die.

If this happened in the modern future, people might call it cruel. Sorry, but this is ancient times.

Especially for such an existence full of crimes, the ordinary method of death can no longer satisfy their crimes.

The people who watched all clapped their hands and applauded. This also made Zhao Jue's previous gloomy mood a little better.

After this incident, Zhao Jue didn't leave immediately. The people in Xiangyang also knew about Zhao Jue's arrival, and they had already sent people to greet him. Zhao Jue decided to stay here for the time being and started to promote sweet potatoes. It's unbelievable. Well, in his fief, less than [-]% of these things have been promoted, which he absolutely cannot bear.

Obviously there are good things, but no one is willing to plant them.

By the way, I also asked Xiang Jun to clean up the deserted cottage. In fact, it is not empty, but the main combat force has all gone down the mountain. Some of the people left on the mountain are children, and some are women and children.

They were all brought back by the Xiang Army, because they didn't know what to do, the captain of the guard just wanted to roll his eyes, and you still want to join the Forbidden Army?

After questioning, it was found that those women and children were not the heirs of bandits, but were either women who had been robbed up the mountain, or children who had been kidnapped and had not yet received a ransom.

Now it's busy again, homeless women need to settle down, and children need to help them find their parents.

Did they come to visit the mountains and rivers or to work!

Enrollment must be expanded!

The guards didn't want to continue doing the work in the yamen at all. After discussing, they began to recruit more people to do odd jobs. Zhao Jue knew it and didn't object. to work.

In less than a month, the county has changed a lot. It is much cleaner and tidy. People along the street are consciously cleaning the front of the door. As for the outside of the city, the pig farm has also been set up in a hurry. A group of little piglets waiting to be fed, no matter how you look at it, it is festive.

As for the fields in the countryside, various crops were also planted. Zhao Jue's deterrent power around the county is not small. When he calls, the victims of Lanruo Temple respond one after another.

How many people in this world would do this for the common people?

The wealth that was defrauded by the abbot of Lanruo Temple might not be able to be returned to the original owner if it were changed by anyone. Zhao Jue returned all the coveted treasures without even raising his eyelids.

Pang Yu looked on happily, his merits had been increasing for no other reason, that is to say, the negative merits on his body might be offset in a few years instead of more than ten years. Happy!

By the way, he also sold peppers, tomatoes and other crops. Pang Yu believed that no one could resist the charm of peppers!

The people from Xiangyang were still very fast. The convoy that came to pick them up drove outside the county seat, and none of the officials from Zhao Jue's fiefdom went into the city to pick up their King of Xiangyang.

You must know that Xiangyang has been his fief since Zhao Jue was born, and a part of the tax goes into his pocket every year, which is not treated like this by ordinary people.

That's because the officials took pity on this younger brother, who lost his parents when he was born, so he gave him special preferential treatment.

Zhao Jue has long been accustomed to facing those court officials. Even if he is not wearing formal attire, no one can ignore his existence with his demeanor.

What's more, those people have heard about Zhao Jue's actions, and they dare not neglect them. Although those people are damned,...it is still terrible.

Who knows if the prince is dissatisfied, will he also...

If Pang Yu knew what they were thinking, he would just roll his eyes. Thinking too much is a disease.

He followed Zhao Jue into the carriage they came in. Who wants to sit in the carriage prepared by those people? Woolen cloth!

"Brother Jue, do you think they are weird?" Pang Yu whispered in front of the boy.

"Is it weird? It's normal to be afraid." Zhao Jue said indifferently. As for the fear of those people, he was not surprised at all. Few of them had clean asses.

But he is not in a hurry to replace all the waste at once, mainly because if he wants to do this, Xiangyang City will be directly paralyzed.

Pang Yu was right when he thought about it, it’s better to be afraid, and not dare to mess around with fear, and they also brought a group of Xiang troops, all of whom were talented fighters selected by the captain of the guard during this period, a total of 500 people, Poor commander, the 500 people who were picked away were almost crying.

These people are staying with Zhao Jue for the time being, and their food and clothing are also paid by Zhao Jue, not by the Xiang Army. Of course, the 500 people are very happy, because the salary they get is directly doubled compared to before. doubled.

A group of people arrogantly followed Zhao Jue to Xiangyang City. This is a big city, but in the eyes of Pang Yu, Zhao Jue, and even the guards, this place is still a little bit worse. What is it compared to Bianjing City? neither.

Zhao Jue rubbed his chin, "It's a pity I didn't bring craftsmen here."

Pang Yu blinked his eyes, and immediately understood what the boy meant. Did he want to transform Xiangyang City?

"My lord, there are also craftsmen in our mansion." The palace servant in front of Zhao Jue immediately said to him.

"How many?" Zhao Jue asked, raising his eyelids.

"There are ten people." The palace man said respectfully.

"How's the craftsmanship?" Even though he was dissatisfied with the number of people, Zhao Jue continued to ask.

"They are all the best craftsmen in Xiangyang City." The palace man continued.

"understood."

What's the use of ten craftsmen, not to mention Zhao Jue, even Pang Yu was speechless and wanted to roll his eyes, like their scale in Bianjing City, the craftsmen here are simply making trouble.

But Zhao Jue was not in a hurry, he was new here, so he didn't have to move too fast.

Those eight guards, except for the captain of the guards, scattered out to inquire. They didn't know much about Xiangyang City, but they are also like ducks in water. Before Zhao Jue went out, he deliberately selected people from Xiangyang. , at least the accent is not suspicious.

All the information soon appeared in front of Zhao Jue, and he laughed outright. No wonder the promotion in the surrounding towns is so difficult. It turned out that Xiangyang City didn't promote sweet potatoes well, and would rather throw them in the granary to germinate.

"Actually, it's good to germinate. There is no need to raise seedlings." Pang Yu said optimistically.

"They don't have a child who is sensible yet." Zhao Jue said coldly.

The guards stopped talking, they all knew that their lord was angry.

Fortunately, not only the land here belongs to Zhao Jue, but also a large piece of land. Zhao Jue directly sent someone to notify him of the things to be planted. Yes, this is just a notification, not an inquiry. There are five hundred ex-Xiang Jun here. No one dared to resist at all.

As for the officials, they will not resist. First of all, it is Zhao Jue's. In addition, the promotion of sweet potatoes is a job assigned by the court. They didn't do it.It's not that the brain is sick.

Besides, there are a total of 500 people in the family, so what can civil servants like them do?It can't twist the thighs for the arms.

They heard that the blood at the mouth of Caishi in the county could not be cleaned after several days of washing, so they went to find the King of Xiangyang if they didn't want to live.

It is clear that the temperament of this prince is completely different from that of the official family, and the temper of the official family is much better. This Prince of Xiangyang is definitely a violent temper, and he is the kind who must revenge.

It was these speculations that made all Zhao Jue's orders relatively smooth. It was good to have more people, and it was still very useful to scare people.

As for the ten craftsmen in the mansion, Zhao Jue took Pang Yu to have a look at their craftsmanship. They really had nothing to say, and they were not far behind the craftsmen in Bianjing City.

It's just that the number of people is too small, ten people are not enough, this is not a modern factory, even if there are machines, ten people are too few.

So Pang Yu proposed to open a craftsman class.

In ancient times, craftsmen basically passed it on to their children, or took apprentices, and let the apprentices take care of themselves for the elderly.

What Pang Yu proposed was to pay the craftsmen, and if they successfully brought out a student, they would get a bonus. The more students they taught, the richer the reward.

In this way, no one will be tempted, and who will have trouble with Yinzi?

A notice was posted in the city to announce the opening of classes, and many families sent their children there.
