Chapter 2316 I Want the Big Trend

"brute!"

The businessman was choking, "Mr. Huo loves the people like his own son. When I do business in Anxiang County, I never get harassed by petty officials and green skins asking for benefits. If anyone dares to reach out, just report them and Mr. Huo will deal with them. Such a good official, why? …Why are we suffering…”

"Those beasts that deserve to be killed, Shopkeeper Wang, who is plotting rebellion? What happens next?"

In a peaceful environment, people's emotions will always be a little more fragile. In troubled times, the death of a county magistrate will only make people sigh for a while, and then everything will be business as usual.

But now the crowd in Shenxian Juli is already agitated. Everyone wants to rush to Anxiang County and tear those traitors into pieces.

The businessman rubbed his eyes and said: "That is the richest family in Anxiang, called Guo Hou. He was passed the imperial examination. He has an unknown number of fields in his family. They said... The Guo family's fields are spread across several surrounding counties. There are thousands of people in the village... As for the future, when they attacked Mr. Huo, I took the opportunity to find a familiar thief and sneak out, otherwise I would still be detained in the county. "

"Where did his family come from so much land? Does Mr. Huo not care about it?"

Needless to say, to have so much land, most of it was donated.

The businessman smiled bitterly and said: "I took care of it and reported it, but the superiors didn't care at all. They said Mr. Huo was meddling in other people's business. This was what was said from the county government back then, saying that Mr. Huo was so popular that he cried..."

After a few words, the image of an official came to life. Everyone was thinking about it, and then someone asked: "What did Xinghebo say?"

"Xinghebo..."

This was Xinghe Bo's concubine's restaurant. Someone glanced at the shopkeeper, Mo Yuanxing, and saw that he also had an angry look on his face.

"Xinghebo will definitely kill those traitors!"

Mo Yuanxing was furious when he heard that such a good official who loved businessmen had died for his country.

"Shopkeeper Mo, why don't you ask my uncle?"

Someone was encouraging Mo Yuanxing to ask Fang Xing, and Mo Yuanxing responded enthusiastically.

But he regretted it as soon as he left the house.

Mo Chou is Fang Xing's concubine. He, Mo Yuan Xing, is Mo Chou's cousin, but secretly he is a hired shopkeeper. How can he be qualified to meet Fang Xing?

He walked out of the alley and saw a group of familiar businessmen heading to the left aggressively, so he chased after them and asked.

"Then Mr. Huo is a good official. Those traitors deserve to die. I will go to Xinghebo to petition. Shopkeeper Mo, let's come together."

"good!"

Never underestimate the power of businessmen. When they decide to do something, they can burst out with frightening and jaw-dropping power that makes people and countries frightened.

This force has positive and negative effects, and the key lies in guidance and suppression.

When the news that Huo Yan, who spoke for the merchants, died for his country spread throughout Jinling City, those merchants began to take action.

They did not go to the Sixth Department and the government office. The businessman's intuition told them that Fang Xing was the one who could take care of this matter.

As a result, Fang Xing's residence was gradually surrounded by businessmen.

When there were more and more people, the crowd gradually became silent, but it was even more shocking than when they were whispering to each other before.

Silence is more powerful than chatter.

This is a power that many people have realized.

Someone had already gone in to report the news, and the remaining two sergeants were staring at the businessmen. Both sides waited quietly.

Not long after, a clerk came out.

He glanced at these merchants and said, "My uncle said, this matter has been dealt with, and the army will attack later."

This is a routine treatment. After saying this, the clerk was about to go in, but when he turned around, someone behind him roared: "Cut Guo Hou!"

"Cut Guo Hou into pieces! Cut him into pieces with a thousand swords!"

The clerk turned around and took a look, then hurried in.

"Cut Guo Hou!"

Fang Xing had already heard the shouts outside without him going in to report.

He was discussing things with Xue Lu. When he heard the shouting, he said, "Does Marquis Yang Wu think this is the will of the people or selfishness?"

Xue Lu had a few small spots on his face, the kind of spots that are more common on the faces and arms of older people.

Xue Lu did not shy away from this and said: "Public and private are mixed.

Most of them are still sad. "

He knew Fang Xing's attitude towards businessmen, so he said, "Uncle Xinghe, we still don't know whether this trend is good or bad, but it is not good for businessmen to interfere in state affairs."

For businessmen, such as Xue Lu and others, the view is that it is a chamber pot. Give it some face when you need it, and throw it out when you don't need it.

If Fang Xing hadn't been there, Xue Lu would probably have had people beat these businessmen out according to his nature.

Fang Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Marquis Yangwu, this matter needs to be looked at in conjunction with the clearing of the fields."

He was a little disgusted with his own coolness and used the blood of his loyal ministers as a tool.

But Xue Lu was awakened and said with a smile: "I understand, let's use Huo Yan's death for the country to stir up noise and suppress the gentry."

Fang Xing nodded slightly, feeling a little dazed in his heart. He stood up and said, "Then Fang will go deal with it. Marquis Yangwu, please keep an eye on everything in the south."

Xue Lu stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I know."

The cleanup in the south was primarily due to the military's intimidation, and the fall of Anxiang County was a shame for the military.

Shame will naturally be washed away with blood, but the businessmen's clamor is what Fang Xing needs.

I want the momentum!

Fang Xing was thinking about the changes from ancient times to the present, but he didn't expect any change to be comparable to the present.

"This is a change that has started since the time of Emperor Wen. We have never been in a hurry."

The group of people following him were listening, not knowing whether he was encouraging everyone or himself.

"Most of the countless innovations in history were done in a hurry, trying to suppress opposition with authority and force."

"But this is not advisable, it is very dangerous!"

Many sergeants followed along the way. They were going to maintain order outside and guard against assassinations.

"We want momentum!"

Fang Xing has never been so eager to get the support of the people for these innovations. As long as the people support him, he dares to suppress the gentry for fifty years.

Fifty years later, when science is flourishing, what will happen to Confucianism?

But judging from this cleanup, the people who dedicated their fields to the gentry were not satisfied, and even swore curses behind their backs. The targets ranged from the country of Ming Dynasty to Emperor Zhu Zhanji to Fang Xing.

This is also a trend!

How to reverse this trend, Fang Xing still had no idea.

A person with sufficient food and clothing knows honor and disgrace.

Without this material foundation, it would be impossible to talk about potential in this era!

All the way to the gate, at least three hundred people had gathered outside.

"Uncle, most of them are businessmen, and the rest are people who watch the excitement and some who want to know the news."

Someone behind him reported it, but Fang Xing didn't care about it.

All he wants is momentum!

Those businessmen did not dare to look directly at him in the past, but today he felt the feeling of being the center of attention.

"Master Huo's name will go down in history, I have no doubt about it!"

Fang Xing gave Huo Yan a high evaluation, and the atmosphere relaxed slightly.

These businessmen are not actually here to seek justice for Huo Yan, they are speaking for themselves.

In this way, they want to tell Fang Xing: We will be good to whoever is good to us.

Fang Xing tasted the smell, but sneered at it.

In his opinion, there are not many good businessmen, especially wealthy businessmen.

When a person has money to a certain extent, he will naturally not be satisfied with the status quo. They do not lack material things, but only rights.

Therefore, Fang Xing has been alert to the erosion of rights by businessmen, and he did not hesitate to kill a group of them. Only then did he warn those wealthy businessmen who thought they could interfere in political affairs with more money.

"Guo Hou was just a scholar from a well-off family before. Once he got a job, he transformed into a wealthy man, eroding the surrounding fields and becoming a rich man, known as a family of farmers and scholars."
