Chapter 947 Horse Thief, Father and Son Travel

Fang Xing, Xia Yuanji, and Minister of Industry Song Li inspected the site outside the city.

Outside the main gate of Li, looking at the plains, Fang Xing pointed to the fields and said, "The common people's fields will definitely be taken, how will Master Xia plan to compensate?"

Unlike other matters where one has to fight for reason, Xia Yuanji is very generous when it comes to matters related to people's livelihood.

"Isn't there still a field outside? We'll all move there, and each family will be compensated with some money and food per head, which is enough."

Xia Yuanji had money and food in his hands, and he spent money lavishly.

Song Li narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance and said, "It seems to be Fangjiazhuang in the future, right?"

Fang Xing smiled, and continued to say to Xia Yuanji: "At the Son of Heaven's feet, of course there can be no public outrage, otherwise not only will His Majesty lose face, but we will also be impeached by the imperial censor!"

Xia Yuanji said carelessly: "I don't take bribes, I don't take bribes, what are you afraid of!"

Fang Xing said pointingly: "That's right, don't do anything wrong with others, and knock on the door in the middle of the night without startling anyone. We are innocent, so naturally we are not afraid of slander."

Xia Yuanji glanced at Song Li, and then said, "Master Song, is there any problem with the Ministry of Industry?"

Song Li said indifferently: "It's just a trivial matter, but the plan has to be reviewed by His Majesty."

He ran on Fang Xing just now, saying that the construction of this big market would benefit Fang's family village, but Fang Xing directly fought back with his innocence, which made him a little depressed.

The three of them walked around outside the city. Song Li wanted to go back to the Ministry of Industry to gather craftsmen to survey and make blueprints, and Xia Yuanji wanted to go back and calculate how much food he needed to invest.

But Fang Xing was fine, and went back to continue training Zhu Zhanji's guards.

...

Two days later, the dozen or so guards felt that they had lost a layer of skin, and the thing they looked forward to most every day was to sleep late.

But Jia Quan didn't dare to slack off. Under his urging, the guards dragged their half-disabled bodies and came to Fangjiazhuang again, but they found that the instructor who had been waiting in the front yard in the past was not there.

"Aren't they too good?"

The guards all relaxed, thinking that this was the best news of the year.

In the front hall, Fang Xing sat upright, squinting at Jingyue.

Jingyue was dressed in a white jacket and skirt, she looked charming, her neck was slightly bent, and her white and tender skin made people greedy.

But Fang Xing just watched coldly, and waited for Jingyue's body to tremble slightly before asking, "Are you sure this isn't a joke?"

Jingyue bowed her head, her long eyelashes trembling, and said, "Uncle, Jingyue's friend opened a house in the city... a wealthy guest said this in the quiet room the day before yesterday, Xinghe Bo's house has a treasure, and you can take it with you They all carried priceless treasures, and now several horse thieves have heard the news and sent spies to Beijing."

Fang Xing stared at Jingyue's face, not even missing the angle of the corner of her mouth.

"very funny!"

Fang Xing beckoned, Mother Deng came in with a box in her hand, and handed it to Jingyue.

Jingyue hastily pushed back and said: "Uncle, my daughter is willing to send news to Uncle, and she is definitely not asking for a reward."

Fang Xing stood up and said, "Do you want to be sheltered? If this news is confirmed, you will be in Beiping in the future, as long as you don't commit crimes, I will keep you safe!"

Jingyue knelt down and said, "Uncle's eyes are perfect, Jingyue is willing to be his eyes and ears."

Fang Xing said with a smile: "It's a bit difficult for you as a woman to live in Beiping, so take care of it!"

When No. 1 Fresh and Four Seas Market opened, Fang Xing did not lack eyes and ears.

Jingyue smiled wryly and said: "To tell you the truth, uncle, my daughter also wants to go to a remote place in the backcountry for the rest of her life, but after all, she's a skinny person. After living there for half a month, people would climb over the wall and come in at night. I'm so scared!"

Fang Xing said lightly: "There have been a lot of things in recent years, so take care of yourself!"

Jingyue said blissfully, "Thank you uncle for your suggestion, Jingyue bids farewell."

After she left, Huang Zhong, who was by the side, said: "This woman has experienced prosperity, so the so-called remote villages must be false, and the truth is that she is not willing to be lonely."

Fang Xing nodded and said: "The taste of prosperity and power is as sweet as it is. Those who have tried it are unwilling to give up. This is human nature.

She and I are just average, and even have some enmity. If she is smart, she will not dare to mess around. "

Huang Zhong remembered Fang Xing's words just now, pointed in the direction of the imperial city, and asked: "Uncle, you said that there have been many things in recent years, but you mean..."

Fang Xing nodded and said: "Exactly, as His Majesty grows older, those ghosts and monsters should be anxious."

Huang Zhong saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, Your Majesty can still mount a horse and kill the enemy. Is this...too early?"

Fang Xing's face was serious: "Your Majesty is supported by a wave of energy. If the grassland is not wiped out, that energy will not dissipate."

Zhu Di has been fighting for many years, especially his many expeditions to the grassland. His body has been damaged in many places, and he is just holding on.

...

Since the Yuan Dynasty, horse thieves have always existed in the Central Plains and continue to this day.

The so-called horse thieves are also divided into two types, one is the landowner, that is, they are ordinary people in normal times, and they are horse thieves in their free time.

The second type is professional horse thieves. In the past few years, the government arranged to raise horses in the north, which can offset taxes. This is the original source of horse thieves.

Among them, Shushan/Dongma thief is the most famous.

These horse thieves took advantage of the corruption of the guards and fled around. The recent reorganization of the Northern Guard also gave them a final gap.

After the rectification is completed, these horse thieves will either return to their hometown quietly, or they can only hide in the mountains.

Xin Laoqi felt that the vigilance of the village should be strengthened, but Fangjiazhuang is so big, and there are only a few people in the household, so it is impossible to take care of it.

"No need, their target is the main house, on my body, who will rob the landlord?"

Fang Xing felt that this was purely groundless worry: "The so-called horse thief must stay in the suburbs of Beijing, just pay attention to the people outside the village recently."

Xin Laoqi frowned and said: "Master, but you often go out, if those horse thieves attack suddenly, it's really difficult to guard against."

Fang Xing recalled the process of leading someone to "raid" Zhu Zhanji, and said: "We have binoculars, the other party's spies must not dare to ride a horse, as long as they are discovered, I don't believe that he has iron teeth and copper teeth!"

Said Fang Xing raised his eyebrows, "Bring the potatoes, let's go to the city!"

Xin Laoqi was worried at first, and then he said excitedly: "Master has led us to fight among thousands of troops, a few horse thieves are nothing!"

Fang Xing entered the inner courtyard and said that he wanted to take Tudou out for a trip, so Xiao Bai pouted and said to bring Ping An.

Zhang Shuhui glanced at her and said, "Ping'an is still young! Are you willing?"

Xiaobai hugged Ping An and said, "Isn't there a young master here? It's just... what if Ping An is hungry?"

Ping An's eyes were big and dark, following the voice, Fang Xing touched his face and said, "It's windy outside, we'll talk about it after Ping An's first birthday."

"Ahhh!"

Ping An suddenly reached out to grab Fang Xing's face, babbling.

Fang Xing moved his face closer, feeling the slender fingers sliding on the skin.

"I'm leaving. If I don't come back in time, I'll eat outside with potatoes."

Fang Xing held Tudou and said with a smile, as if father and son were going out to play.

"Husband, come back soon."

"Master, come back soon."

Fang Xing waved his hand and took the ignorant Tudou out.
