Several cavalrymen stopped in front of the gate of Hongxiufang. Several soldiers wearing blue military uniforms and a bronze combat medal hung on their chests stopped them.n∈n∈,.

"I am Zhang Guodong, a logistics camp, and I have something important to meet with the head of the town." A waist sign lit up. After several soldiers carefully checked it, they saluted him, "Please Zhang Guerrilla!"

Zhang Guodong saluted several guards, left his own soldiers, and left his sword and entered alone.

All the way to the third floor, several generals and guards intercepted him. After informing him of his identities, the soldiers came in and reported him, and then let him in.

"Donggouzi, is there something wrong?" Liu Jun was drinking tea with Chen Man and Chen Yuanyuan. When he saw him coming, he asked. Zhang Guodong was actually Donggouzi, but now he has been promoted to the position of guerrilla general, a dignified commander and a third-rank official. The name Donggouzi is naturally a bit inappropriate. On the day Donggouzi was promoted, he asked Liu Jun to give him a big name.

Liu Jun named Donggouzi Guodong, and Gouyuan Guoliang, Ergou named Guozhu, and Goudan named Guoqiang. After Liu Jun gave them these great names, the name change trend immediately became popular in the Jiutou army, and most of them wanted to choose names with national characters. Therefore, in the Jiutou army, the current officers with low names changed their names one after another. There were probably twenty or thirty countries, such as the country and the country, which were prosperous. This was because everyone thought that only disciples like Zhang Donggou and others were qualified to be of the national generation, otherwise, there would probably be more.

Now all the Chinese generation in the Jiutou Army are recognized as the disciples of the Marquis. Especially Zhang Guodong, who is also known as the chief disciple of the Dacheng, and he also officially serves as the baggage battalion among the fifth battalion of the Dacheng.

"The many salt vendors and salt vendors who received the posts from the ten prefectures, fifteen prefectures, and 105 counties in Yunyang have only arrived at less than a hundred schools so far, and most of them have sent housekeepers or servants. After receiving the post, only seven or eight people came in person, and they were all small fish and shrimps." Zhang Guodong reported to Liu Jun carefully. "We have prepared such a big scene and there are so many people. Should we postpone the meeting time? Then send some people to urge them?"

"No need." Liu Jun's face became gloomy. Although he had expected that someone might not buy his account at the beginning, he did not expect that these people would dare to do so excessively. He refused to give even some superficial face. "Since these people only sent managers or even servants, they did not take me, Liu, seriously. Since that's the case, then when you invite them, these people will only be more shameless."

When Liu Jun had just left Sichuan and returned to Macheng, he had already sent people to send invitations to salt vendors and salt vendors in more than 100 counties under Yunyang Town, asking them to come to the meeting.

But now there are only seven or eight kittens, and these people really don’t take their own town seriously.

"Go and meet them."

Liu Jun stood up and went straight to Yacheng.

The emperor asked Liu Jun to train 50,000 new troops, and Liu Jun really wanted to take the opportunity to train a new recruit. But the emperor now has no money. Although the emperor decided to train more than 700,000 troops nationwide this year, he also charged more than 7 million military wages for this, which was equivalent to ten taels of military expenditure. However, Liu Jun's new army was not among the more than 700,000 troops, so there was no penny of the more than 7 million military wages. Especially this year, the emperor gave Yang Sichang and Mei Zhihuan 500,000 yuan each of the suppression wages and rewards, and now he has no money.

The emperor asked Liu Jun to train troops, but there was no military pay, so he could only raise everything by Liu Jun himself.

Liu Jun would not turn stones into gold, and the cost of training tens of thousands of new troops was extremely high, especially Liu Jun did not intend to get a salary. He really wanted to train a new army, not an ordinary new army, but a new army that can fight with the elite, so the demand for money and food was greater. Liu Jun had initially calculated that if he trained a new army, the salary for each soldier would be at least twenty taels per year. Their equipment and training costs must also reach this number, and the cavalry would be even higher.

A soldier averaged a yearly fee of 40 to 50 taels for the salary, equipment and training, and 50,000 new troops cost at least 2 million taels of silver a year. This is a huge expense. Although Liu Jun entered Sichuan to suppress the bandits and obtained hundreds of thousands of taels of wealth. Even if these things can be taken, they are far from enough. The income from the Arsenal Shop can subsidize some of the equipment costs, but it is still insufficient.

What's more, Liu Jun also planned to purchase one million stone of grain reserves, and he urgently needed money.

Liu Jun posted to the salt merchants, just to start from the salt and get a quick money out.

He had a big plan, but unfortunately the salt vendors ignored him at all.

When he arrived in Yacheng, Liu Jun did not see the servants who were sent by various families, but he personally met with the salt merchants including Liu Liangzuo who had arrived after receiving the post.

In the official hall of Yacheng, Liu Liangzuo and eight other small salt merchants were very nervous. They were just small salt dealers. In front of Yunyang Town, Nanhou, Tangtang Town, they were like ants in front of an elephant.

"The little Jiangxia and Liu Liangzuo paid homage to the Marquis. It really surprised that the little one was invited by the Marquis. I would like to ask the Marquis to accept a little gift." Liu Liangzuo had just sat on the bench in the Yacheng for a long time, and when he came back, he refused to see the servants in charge sent by the big salt merchants, so he immediately made a temporary decision to add the gifts given to Liu Jun.

He originally prepared a silver bank ticket of 1,000 taels and another jade pendant. But now, he directly sent a bank ticket of 3,000 taels. Fortunately, he brought more when he came, so the bank ticket was lighter.

Liu Jun looked at the bank ticket and jade pendant that Liu Liangzuo held in his hand. After just one look, he knew that Liu Liangzuo was very sincere.

Fu Shan stood beside Liu Jun and whispered to him with his ears. Liu Jun realized that Liu Liangzuo was still Zhao Wu's previous family, but he was just a small salt vendor.

"Mr. Liu is already very proud of me, Liu, so how can you spend money!" Liu Jun confiscated his money gift.

The more gentle Liu Jun smiled, the more panicked Liu Liangzuo felt. He always felt that Liu Jun thought the money was too low. He immediately cursed Liu Jun for being greedy, gritted his teeth, and said cruelly, "It's all the young people who are ignorant, and the young people are willing to give out another three thousand taels of silver to help with their salary."

Shaking his head, Liu Jun said, "Mr. Liu misunderstood someone. I'll ask you to come here because I'm not trying to blackmail you money. I, Liu Jun, are not that kind of people."

"Yes, yes." Liu Liangzuo nodded and praised on the surface, but he didn't believe it in his heart.

Liu Jun just smiled, "Actually, I had a big deal to cooperate with you. This is a big deal that can make a lot of money. A win-win deal that benefits and benefits. Unfortunately, it seems that everyone still doesn't believe me, Liu. Since that's the case, I, Liu, cannot force me, and I, cannot force me to stop the head if I don't drink water. But the business is not in love. Since you are here, let's play here for a few more days, and I will arrange someone to accompany you."

Liu Jun said some encouragement to the other merchants, and asked his personal soldiers to take him down to settle down.

After the salt vendors left, Fu Shan said to Liu Jun. "We sent a total of 360 posts, but we only arrived in more than 50, and most of them sent some managers. Only Liu Liangzuo and eight others arrived in person. There were more than 300 families who had neither sent anyone nor explained."

"Hmph, these people don't want to eat toast and want to be punished." Liu Jun still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with fierce light.

"Now these businessmen are unwilling to come, what is the plan of the Grandmaster?" Fu Shan asked.

Liu Jun does have a plan, but it won’t work without anyone supporting and cooperating. Now these salt merchants don’t give him face so much. If he doesn’t respond, I’m afraid that the dozens of companies sent to him today will not pay attention to him next.

Yunyang Town spans four provinces, has ten prefectures, fifteen prefectures, and one hundred and five counties, and is in the center of the four provinces. Therefore, it is a huge salt wharf, and the salt merchants are also extremely powerful and involve a wide range of issues.

However, although Liu Jun wanted to cooperate with the salt merchants, he did not mean that he had to kneel down and beg them to cooperate.

"I'm afraid these people have forgotten that I am the Marquis of Zhennan. And I am the general officer of Yunyang. They have to listen carefully to this acre of three-point land under Yunyang, otherwise it will be impossible to offend me." Liu Jun sneered a few times, "Pick one of the people who have never come, and those who have the exact handle will be destroyed directly."

"The general wants to kill the chicken to warn the monkey?"

"Since others are not afraid of us, we must show our muscles."

"I understand, I will arrange someone to do it immediately." Fu Shan replied.

That night, Liu Jun held a banquet to entertain Liu Liangzuo and eight salt merchants, and Liu Jun ignored the officials who came on behalf of the heads of the family. Some officials went home in anger, and some even brought the gifts back directly. Only a few people from the family still lived in the inn at Hutoubao, but they just sent someone back to ask what to do next.

At the banquet, Liu Jun personally hosted Liu Liangzuo and others, but did not say anything about cooperation to make money.

The next day, Liu Jun continued to entertain them, and then a few people from the salt merchants left, leaving a lot.

On the third day, the banquet continued. Liu Liangzuo no longer wanted to stay. Just as he was about to resign to Liu Jun, Liu Jun waved his hand, but suddenly an officer strode in and reported to Liu Jun loudly.

"Report to the commander, we found that Zhou Wenshun in Wuchang City had an affair with the left fifth camp. Not only did he send private messages, but Zhou Wenshun also purchased various materials such as grain, medicine, salt, cloth, etc. for the bandits back to the left fifth camp, and collected various intelligence from the official army for them. Then the bandits paid them the robbed gold, silver, jewelry and other stolen goods. All kinds of evidence were accurate. The brothers had already raided various business banks of Zhou Wu and Zhou family, and seized Zhou Wenshun and the Zhou family's various managers, and collected a lot of evidence of enforcing the bandits."

After hearing this, Liu Jun sneered coldly, "Since all the evidence is accurate, then follow the court's legal system, kill what should be killed, catch what should be caught, investigate what should be investigated, and seal what should be sealed!"

When Liu Liangzuo heard the three words Zhou Wenshun, he felt cold. When he heard Liu Jun's murderous words, his legs became even softer.

Zhou Wenshun, that was his superior family. When he came, he had also seen Zhou Wenshun. Zhou Wenshun looked down upon Liu Jun. He originally planned to send a manager to give him 500 taels of silver, but later he came but did not see the Zhou family. When he heard the news about Zhou Wenshun again, he could not have thought that it was from Liu Jun's mouth, and even more unexpectedly, Zhou Wenshun had been named as a bandit, and was about to destroy his family.

In the banquet hall, the salt merchants were also like Liu Liangzuo, feeling frightened. Did Zhou Wenshun win over the bandits? They thought this might be true, but it was actually nothing. Merchants seek profits, as long as it is profitable, who would care whether they win over the bandits? Merchants in Shanxi have been doing business with Jianlu.

Now that Liu Jun suddenly took Zhou Wenshun, Liu Liangzuo and others felt that it was not because Zhou Wenshun was bound to bind the bandits. This is like in the officialdom, which official was suddenly investigated. Even if it was on the surface because of corruption, it must be just a cover, because all officials are greedy. They immediately thought that it must be because the Zhou family did not come to meet this time.

At this time, they suddenly realized that this Marquis of Zhennan was really a fierce tiger. If he didn't like it, he would be able to eat you without even leaving any residue.

At this time, Liu Jun continued, "Don't worry, there is no need to worry. This town will be punished severely, but as long as everyone obeys the public and abides by the law, this town will naturally not be difficult for everyone. On the contrary, I have a very good cooperation plan here. If you are interested, you can join the group."

Someone immediately asked what business it was and they were willing to contribute.

"Don't worry, let's have fun for a few more days, and we'll talk in two days."

On that day, the news that the Wuchang salt merchant Zhou Wenshun was investigated was spread quickly like the wind. Zhennan Hou sent troops to attack and seized the entire Zhou family and Zhou family's business. Zhou Wenshun was directly executed for the crime of confiscating the bandits. The family was also imprisoned and all property was confiscated.

Thunder methods are extremely ruthless. It is said that some people came forward for Zhou Wenshun during this period, but Zhennan Hou did not give any affection.

As the Zhou family was destroyed, there was still a news circulating in the market. It is said that Zhou Wenshun was not the only one who broke the bandits, but many others were there, but Zhennan Hou was still pursuing the evidence for the time being.

The next morning, when Liu Liangzuo got up, he suddenly found that there were many familiar faces in the Hutou Castle, all of which were salt merchants and salt vendors in Huguang, and many old rivals. As time passed, more and more salt merchants and salt vendors rushed to the Hutou Castle. This time, no one sent only servants. They all came in person, and even took a cart of gifts.

With Zhou Wenjiang's chicken being killed in front, no salt merchant dared not to take Liu Jun seriously. At this time, many people remembered that this Marquis of Zhennan was not only twenty years old, but also had the nickname of King of Hell.

"Let's hear what big plan this Zhennanhou has first. I hope that if you lose some money, you can avoid disaster!" Several salt merchants gathered together and sighed in a low voice. (To be continued.)
