Chapter 1037 Bidding Under the Sword

Being woken up in the middle of the night and having to go out in the cold, most people would yell and scold.

But today, no one dared to yell and scold, and they all followed obediently to the household department.

There were more than a hundred sergeants standing outside the household department, all feeding the horses with fodder.

Is this going to use force?

Su Likun whispered to Qian Donglai: "It's the middle of the night, are you trying to force us to pay?"

A businessman's sense of smell is sharper than a hound's. Qian Dong looked at the sergeants and said, "Probably, our bid was too low during the day, but why do we have to bid again at this time?"

"Oh! The old man is late, late!"

Fang Qiyuan came in full of energy, looking very high-spirited.

"What is this man proud of? Even if it is a fair bid, his financial resources are not our opponents!"

After entering the household department, twenty merchants were taken into a large room, and Fang Xing and Xia Yuanji came immediately after.

"Yesterday doesn't count, does anyone have any opinions?"

Time was tight, Fang Xing didn't have the intention to deal with these businessmen.

No one dared to object, Su Likun lowered his eyes and moved his lips slightly, "Let everyone be careful, get it out first, and let's share it slowly afterwards, don't..."

Fang Xing stared at Su Likun, and said coldly: "Under the noses of Master Xia and Benbo, you actually dare to connect with each other, Su Likun, you are quite brave!"

Su Likun was taken aback, and an ominous thought floated up - is this just staring at me?

"Take it!"

Fang Xing held the handle of the knife, and after a soft drink, two sergeants came in outside.

Su Likun knelt down and shouted cleverly: "Uncle, the little one is guilty, you are willing to pay a high price, you are willing to pay a high price!"

Most people would not hesitate to exchange money for life.

But Fang Xing was not moved at all: "Su Likun, you have three lives at your fingertips, although you didn't do it, but you are the messenger, take him down, send a message to the Jinyiwei immediately, and confiscate the Su family! "

"Uncle, please forgive me..."

Su Likun only had time to shout,

Then he was gagged and dragged out.

The room was as silent as a cicada!

Xia Yuanji smacked his tongue secretly. This Fang Xing actually used the methods of the army on these businessmen. If there is no result today, Fang Xing, who has Zhu Di's authority, will not mind copying a few more.

Fang Xing looked at these businessmen with serious eyes, "Benbo has always believed that rich businessmen have no country, and only have interests in their eyes."

None of the more than twenty businessmen dared to sit down, and they all stood with their hands tied, like students listening to training.

This guy is also good at doing business, but he never hides his contempt for wealthy businessmen.

"But Ben Bo believes that wealth has no borders, but merchants should have nationality. You should all remember this sentence firmly. If you don't remember it, family raids and family extermination are just around the corner! The heads of those salt merchants, those wealthy merchants who smuggled the grassland It's the car ahead of you!"

Late night, lights, people!

Fang Xing's figure waving his right hand was reflected on the wall, his eyes were sharp and murderous.

"Da Ming is not saying that you are not allowed to wait to make money, but there is also a way to steal. As a businessman, you should examine yourself three times and always judge yourself. Don't be as ignorant as that Su Likun!"

After Fang Xing finished speaking, he nodded to Xia Yuanji, and then went out.

Xia Yuanji coughed dryly and said: "You all must be a little dissatisfied when you come to the household department at night, and this official is not satisfied either, so hurry up."

"Ten companies will be selected for this bidding. It will also last for three years. The supply quantity will remain the same. The bidding will begin!"

Two small officials set up the blackboard, and then prepared to record the quotation.

"Everything is ready, we will set off as soon as we finish the work here, go alone, and let the camp prepare more ammunition, this time, if we don't make it right, we will kill people!"

Fang Xing's voice came from outside, and quotations came out one after another. Xia Yuanji stroked his beard, secretly proud of himself.

It seems that you are only serving swords and guns!

"My lord, the little one..."

"My lord, the younger one will offer two hundred and one thousand taels of silver..."

Hearing this, Fang Xing appeared at the door and cupped his hands towards Xia Yuanji: "Master Xia, Fang is going now. If there is any disagreement, Fang is willing to advance and retreat together!"

Regarding Qingzhou Zuowei matter, Zhu Di could send anyone to go, but he chose Fang Xing's general, the meaning of which is somewhat ambiguous.

This is because he is afraid that Fang will go crazy when he wakes up and do something shocking.

For example... I took out all my gold and silver and exchanged them for precious banknotes!

Some people may ask, isn't this a patriotic act? Why can't it be done?

Fang Xing is Bo Xing He, and he is also accomplished in literature.

If this kind of people take the lead in exchanging the treasure notes, what will those relatives and officials do?

If you don't follow up, you are not a loyal minister. This is really a dilemma for those courtiers who are usually full of loyalty, benevolence, righteousness and morality.

As an emperor, you can make the best use of the situation, but you must not persecute your subjects on a large scale and indiscriminately, otherwise the separation of the monarch and his subjects will only happen overnight.

Xia Yuanji nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Xing Hebo, take care."

Qingzhou Zuowei's matter is very troublesome, no one knows whether a bunch of radishes will be pulled out from behind Xie Yifan.

When a strong dragon crosses the river, a local snake will not easily admit defeat.

Fang Xing nodded, glanced at the businessmen, nodded slightly to Fang Qiyuan, then turned and left under the guard of his servants.

The city gate opened, and Fang Xing quickly left the city with a hundred scouts. He had to go home.

In the Fang family, when Fang Xing broke into the bedroom, the vigilant Zhang Shuhui sat up suddenly.

"Shuhui, it's me."

Fang Xing walked over and said in a low voice: "My husband has to go out for business. It won't be too long. You take care of your home."

Zhang Shuhui nodded, now that she is an old married couple, she will immediately sort out a burden for Fang Xing.

Taking advantage of this time, Fang Xing went to Xiaobai's place.

Xiaobai slept soundly, with a smile on his lips.

Fang Xing shook his head, signaled to the wooden flower holding the lamp behind him not to wake Xiao Bai, and then went to kiss Ping An.

After Ping An fell asleep, his expression was very calm, even a little serious. Fang Xing smiled and kissed him on the forehead.

Potato on the other side clicked his mouth, raised his calf, and fell asleep in a posture similar to surrender.

Fang Xing's heart softened, and he turned to Zhang Shuhui and said, "You should keep an eye on the matter of exchanging banknotes. People in Fangjiazhuang are not allowed to exchange them. Anyone who exchanges them will be directly deported and given freedom!"

Zhang Shuhui nodded, handed the burden to Fang Xing, and said softly, "Don't worry, husband, our family will not be so short-sighted."

...

At dawn, the news was brought in by those who entered the city.

"Eleven last night! Those eleven were merchants and scholars who went to exchange money, and they were all copied!"

"There are quite a few in the city! I heard the sound of horseshoes last night, and those who were arrested were crying so much that it made your scalp numb."

"It's all about exchanging money, right? What does this court mean?"

"What do you mean? It means that the common people can change, and the rich should be more honest!"

"Why not change it? There must be a reason to convince the public!"

"Those rich people, almost none of them are clean. If you catch them all, what's the reason!"

"Besides, we ordinary people can change, which means that His Majesty and his old man are towards us. Do you still want to fight for those rich people? I think you are full!"

A new day has begun, and there is another long queue outside Hubu.

Xia Yuanji, who hadn't slept all night, looked at the flow of people, and said viciously: "Remember, everyone who changes the money will be put on record, and no one is allowed to change the money within two years! Also, I will report to His Majesty later on, and you must be strict." Investigate the private use of gold and silver in various places, and all those found will be exiled!"
