Chapter 844

Yan state, can be regarded as one of the seven southern countries. Compared with the other six countries, Yan's national strength is not considered to be powerful. The total strength of the whole country is probably less than 20000. Yu ruochai, the leader of the state, can be said to have no talent in politics and military affairs. If you want to say that Yu ruocai has any skills, he is a businessman, but he has grasped the opportunity more accurately than the other six heads of state!

At the beginning, Nanman kingdom was defeated by the major forces from the north, but Yu ruocai, who was only a merchant at that time, immediately dissipated his wealth, and he built a team of tens of thousands of people. With Tianyang city as the center, he occupied more than ten cities and became the local local emperor. At that time, all forces were busy integrating their own territory, and no one wanted to spend their troops to gnaw Yu ruocai. In this way, Yu ruocai was allowed to establish the present Yan state under the strong enemy's gaze.

After the establishment of Yan state, Yu ruochai did not focus on strengthening military forces as the other six countries did. On the contrary, he started his old business and formulated many policies beneficial to businessmen. As merchants pursued profits, Yu ruochai immediately gathered businessmen who occupied almost half of the south for Yan state. For a time, Tianyang City, the capital of Yan state, became a holy land for businessmen to gather. The extraordinary development of Commerce has greatly increased the financial resources of Yan state. Although the army of Yan state is only about 20000 yuan, the financial resources of Yan state are definitely the first of the seven southern countries, and may even be the first in the world.

In addition, under the special care of Yu ruochai, the major chambers of commerce developed rapidly in Yan state, among which there were big names such as Tianfu chamber of Commerce. The development of these chamber of Commerce forces to a certain extent has affected the normal development of other countries in a sense, which is one of the main reasons why the countries dare not easily launch troops against Yan state.

Of course, in this troubled times, it is impossible to survive only by relying on abundant financial resources. If yu Ruo Cai is so smart, how can he not understand this truth. Therefore, Yu ruochai maintained his always neutral and detached position, and actively cooperated with the surrounding countries. As long as any country could afford to pay, Yan would help which country. Similarly, as long as the price offered by another country was higher, Yan would turn around immediately. Therefore, Yu ruochai's behavior of bringing merchants' habits into the process of marching and fighting was also shamed by all countries.

However, perhaps because of this, Yan state can be left aside by other countries. Since the founding of the state of Yan, it has never been invaded by other countries. It has always been the only state of Yan to fight others, but its native land has never been attacked by war. Therefore, the state of Yan can be regarded as the paradise among the seven southern countries, which makes the country more and more prosperous.

The same is true of Lucheng, which is located on the border between Yan state and post Qin state. When Yan state was just established, it was just a border town with a population of only tens of thousands. Such a small town has no other function except to be able to alert the troops and horses of the post Qin state. However, by now, Lucheng has become a big city with a population of no less than 300000, and there are countless caravans going in and out of Lucheng every day. Although the number of troops stationed in Lucheng is less than 3000, the people in Lucheng have never worried about it, because the city has not tasted the taste of war for many years.

As the governor of Lucheng, Fang Dashun naturally took office with such an idea. Speaking of Fang Dashun, in fact, Fang Dashun can be said to be a big character, not a single person. I am afraid that only in Yan state can he become the governor of this important border town. Fang Dashun was just a local rich man in Yan state. As for his position of prefect, it was very simple. It took Fang Dashun 300000 gold to buy such an official post.

Fang Dashun is not a good local rich man, but he spends money to be such a governor. Naturally, he has his own ideas. Fang Dashun's Fang family can be regarded as a well-known family in his hometown. However, there is a pity that since Fang Dashun's great grandfather's generation, the Fang family has never had an official or even a scholar.

When Fang Dashun was young, his father forced him to go to private school every day. Maybe Fang's descendants don't have that kind. Fang Dashun is sleepy when he comes across four books and five classics. But when he sees the account book, his eyes shine and he feels uncomfortable when he raises his pen. But when he picks up the abacus, he is full of energy. Therefore, Fang Dashun's father spent tens of liang of silver in vain. As a result, Fang Dashun's father had no choice but to die. But before he finally died, he was not able to follow his words.

Later, Fang Dashun became a family and had several sons. In the same way, Fang Dashun, like his father, forced his sons to study and study. As a result, Fang Dashun's sons, like him in those years, did not succeed. In the end, Fang Dashun was completely dead. This simply bought such a position of prefect from the government, which is a different way to end a wish of the ancestors of the Fang family.

Fang Dashun, who is used to calculating in the past, is now asked to deal with these affairs, which is naturally a black eye. Fortunately, the state of Yan valued the development of Commerce. In addition, many subordinate officials in the prefect's office shared the worries of Fang Dashun. Fang Dashun did not abandon the administration of Lucheng. Every day, the officials directly leave the government affairs to their subordinates. They sit on high horses and drill in the streets and alleys of Lucheng. They also shake the official power of their own Prefects. This small life is also a happy one. Only at this time, Fang Dashun will not spend the 300000 gold for himself."My Lord! My Lord Just as usual, when Fang Dashun was wandering in the street, a cry suddenly came from behind Fang Dashun. Fang Dashun couldn't help frowning, but he remembered that he had told him that when he was shopping, everything was under pressure, that is, he should not disturb his interest in shopping. Who dares to be so bold?

When Fang Dashun turned his head and looked around, he saw several soldiers in armor all pale and ran towards him. The commerce of Lucheng is well developed. Although the streets are very spacious, it is not enough for people to come and go. Such a collision by these soldiers immediately led to chaos in the whole street. Many pedestrians were knocked down by these soldiers, or simply fell into the stalls nearby, causing a lot of trouble.

Seeing this, Fang Dashun's chubby round face became more and more gloomy. When the soldiers ran to him and did not speak, Fang Dashun pointed to the soldiers with a whip and said, "you damn things! Look at what you've done! It's lawless to be so rampant! It seems that I must make decisions for the people and punish you severely! "

Fang Dashun's manner is so elegant, but he puts on the appearance of an honest and clean official rarely seen. He is also secretly pleased that being a corrupt official can bring a lot of benefits, but being a good official is not totally useless. At least, it's very impressive! Well, in the future, although this corrupt official can't be less done, he can also be a good official on the premise of many benefits. Maybe in the future, he can be called the "green sky Lord" by those civilians!

Just when Fang Dashun was dark and cool in his heart, the soldiers did not care what Fang Dashun said. They just clasped their fists at Fang Dashun one by one, and the one who took the lead trembled: "big, Lord! You, you, you quickly, quickly to the gate, the gate there to see it! Out, out, out, out of the way

"Hum!" However, Fang Dashun thought that this was just an excuse made by these soldiers to escape their punishment. The whip in his hand was to fight, drinking and swearing: "you bastards! Don't try to change the subject! Today, I must teach you a good lesson! Otherwise, you think Laozi is a decoration

Fang Dashun thought that his behavior would be applauded by the people who were watching in the street. However, those people around him didn't take any notice of Fang Dashun's performance. Since Fang Dashun took office, it has only been less than two months. Fang Dashun has done everything possible to scrape no less than 100000 taels of silver on the people of Lucheng.

According to Fang Dashun, this is to compensate for the money lost by buying an official. Now it is just a little interest. Fortunately, thanks to the national policy of Yan state, the people in Lucheng are relatively rich. Although Fang Dashun scraped hard, it did not exceed the people's bottom line. However, the common people do not like the corrupt officials such as Dashun. Of course, they will not be cheated by Fang Dashun's poor acting skills.

Seeing that his hard-working performance didn't get the expected effect, Fang Dashun's face naturally could not be put down, and this tone was also sprinkled on the heads of the soldiers. The whip in his hand couldn't help but draw on the heads of those soldiers. While whipping, he still drank and swore: "you bastards! Son of a bitch! I will kill you! Kill you

Those soldiers did not dare to dodge. They had to be brave, and then Fang Dashun beat them. They were bitter in the face and clasped their fists and said, "my Lord! adult! Villain really has something urgent to report! Outside the city, outside the city, outside the city, there are a lot of enemy troops! "
