Chapter 278: Stabilize People's Hearts
The establishment of the Jiantiansi in the powerful area itself is an attitude. The living rooms are either gentry or officials. Generally, as long as the bandits who are not Duan Xiping and others seek revenge on the gentry, they will basically avoid the powerful area. There are very few people who dare to jump under the eyes of Jiantiansi.
As one of the safest places in the entire city, there are naturally countless people who want to live in. However, it is difficult and difficult for ordinary gang bosses or merchants to build a yard here, but Fang Chen wants it, but some people come to him.
"Yes, the head of the family!" Cai An responded with great concern.
At this time, Ma Dachang said, "What should I do with Zhong, Liu's family? Should I cut off the sale of overseas sales?"
Fang Chen waved his hand and said, "Ignore it for now. Just do whatever you want. We are currently unable to start a war with many companies and cannot force them into a hurry. Besides, it is enough to remove the people going out to sea to get rid of their troops." Without Fang's troops, most of the ships that can go out to sea will be reduced, which is enough to make them feel distressed and bleeding.
But this is both sides suffered losses, and the Fang family couldn't get a penny. If he could do it, he didn't want to stop at all. It would be better if he had a fight or a business would not interfere with each other. But he was afraid that Zhou Tian would be furious and rushed to the port to kill him. That would be a big loss.
He also thought about the Liu family in Tieshan for a long time. According to the rules, he would destroy the Liu family and the Jiantiansi would not have any reaction at all.
But destroying the Liu family was just a pleasure, but it would inevitably make other gentry members in the county feel sad about the death of the rabbit. Then it will be difficult to be as harmonious as it is now. If the people are dispersed, the team will be difficult to lead.
So it is best to teach a lesson, but it is heartbreaking, but not killing it. This will not touch the string of the gentry and will also shock some thoughts that should not have.
Although the Fang gentry now follows his leader, the other Fuyu gentry also respect him very much, but the benefits he gave were enough to satisfy the Fang gentry and could also put other gentry under pressure for most county towns.
But the gentry are all greedy and complex creatures, and their appetites will never be satisfied. After a long time, they will not be able to guarantee that they will not have any minor thoughts.
So it just happened to use the Liu family in Tieshan to hit other gentry. It is best to think clearly before you want to do something. Don’t think that it will be as safe as a mountain with the protection of the court. Someone who wants to rectify you has some solutions.
It turned out that the idea was to hurt the Liu family and then abolish the direct line and support the head of the family. Liu Junhao was the best piece. Unfortunately, he was taken back to the family and could not contact him. He could not confirm his attitude, so he naturally could not plan in advance, so he could only make plans at the time.
Ma Dachang stopped talking in disappointment, and those two families were indeed not easy to mess with.
Set the grand tone, destroy the martial arts hall, suppress the Liu family, and focus on stability. The rest is to discuss some details.
...
Tong Qian's thinking is a bit rigid, but his execution ability is very strong. After the meeting, he immediately went to find Sun and Wei's two major officials to convey the meaning of the leader of the gang and intentionally revealed the intention of the three families to work together.
The two of them were both surprised and happy when they said Fang Chen. What was shocked was that the family had reached a cooperation with Fang Chen, but they had no news at all. They naturally knew how valuable Fang Chen was, and they almost lay down at the foot of the mountain of gold when they worked with him.
When they didn't choose Fang Chen to cooperate, both of them regretted it. If they had known that the other party was so capable, even if they lowered their posture and turned their face down, they would have to come to them.
Compared with the huge maritime interests, what is Fang Chen's background important? Nowadays, he has a background in a cooperative force, but his annual income is less than Zhong, and the Liu family is half. How can he be shameless?
Fortunately, the two families were stupid and greedy, which gave them the opportunity to intervene.
As for the pressure from Zhong and Liu families, although Sun and Wei join forces are a little weaker, they will not be afraid of them.
The two major managers of the two families had a somewhat arrogant attitude, but they both became kind-hearted and gentle in their conversations with Tong Qian. If a cooperation is reached, Tong Qian is the chief manager of the Fang family in the county town and will have to deal with them in the future, so they have to give face.
After a cordial conversation, the two did not dare to delay at all and immediately sent someone back to the county town to report the news.
Then, Tong Qian returned to the headquarters and immediately arranged for people to send messages to various places in the county, asking people to come to the county headquarters to report the losses. He brought money to the two merchants' houses. In order to implement the gang leader's ideas, he deliberately brought a team of people and swept the market with great fanfare.
Now the Fang family is in the forefront of the storm, and every move has attracted countless attention. Tong Qian, the chief executive, naturally has a lot of eyes staring at him.
Whether it was going to Sun and Wei's headquarters, or visiting two merchants, they secretly followed many spies in the power.
If you say you go to Sun and Wei’s station is surprising, then Zhang Yang’s visit to merchants would be very surprised.
"Butler Tong? Please let me know here." Knocking on the gate of the courtyard, the gatekeeper recognized Tong Qian because the courtyard was arranged by the Butler Tong himself. He knew that this was a powerful figure in the county, and even the government and the great clan had to give him some face. He was a little frightened for a moment and did not dare to let him wait outside the door.
Tong Qian waved his hand and said, "No need, can the head of the Qiu family be there? Tong was ordered by the leader of the gang and left after he was told something."
"Yeah! Yes, I'll report it now!" When the doorman heard that it was a big boss who was passing the message, he did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately rolled in and crawled in.
Soon, Qiu Ping ran out with his son anxiously. When he saw Tong Qian's people behind him, he suddenly showed a little uneasiness on his face.
Tong Qian smiled and comforted: "The head of the Qiu family doesn't have to worry. The county town has been unstable recently. You can only feel at ease when you come out to do business and bring some guards."
Qiu Ping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Thinking of the battle between the Fuyao Gang and the Weihai Gang, Tong Qian's approach was not surprising. "I don't know if the chief general is here, but the gang leader has an order to convey it? The Qiu family must cooperate with each other!"
His tone was very firm. He knew that there was no way out from refusing to help him. If Fang Chen fell down, the Qiu family would definitely be the first to be used to establish authority. So even if the Qiu family is weak, he would follow the Fang family.
Tong Qian smiled, imitated the gang leader's expression, and said calmly: "The Qiu family leader can operate the business with peace of mind, and the gang leader will solve some small troubles. This time Tong came to convey the gang leader's words. He was not afraid of strength and followed the Fang family. The Fang family naturally would not let him suffer any losses. All losses will be borne by the Fang family. It was Tong's fault that he had collected money from the Qiu family's yard. This time he came to pay back the money and double the compensation." As he said that, he bowed slightly to apologize.
"I dare not, I dare not. The chief manager can sell it to Ping'anfang yard at a low price. Qiu is already very satisfied. How can he let the Fang family take responsibility?" Qiu Ping was a little frightened and hurriedly helped Tong Qian up. Although Tong Qian was the housekeeper, his status was far higher than that of him. How dare he accept this gift?
His words are not exaggerated. The four streets and three yards of Weihai Gang are now the best place for the county town, with the best living environment and trading environment, and are also the area that everyone wants to live in except for the powerful and powerful areas. The Qiu family has taken a considerable advantage from the dirty and messy places of Fuyao Gang. Not to mention anything else, the housing prices are several times more expensive than before.
After Tong Qian stood up, he shook his head and said, "The Master Qiu doesn't need to refuse. I believe you know the gang leader's temperament, so you can accept the silver with peace of mind. In addition, the gang leader appreciates the behavior of the Qiu family, so he decided to give the "Eight Steps Divine Fist" special reward!"
"What? Eight-step Divine Fist?" Qiu Ping had to refuse, but he was stunned when he heard the following words.
As a businessman in the county town, how could he not know about the Eight Steps Divine Fist? That was one of the six major forces in the past, Yu Yuan, the leader of the Iron Fist Gang. He could practice the best martial arts that he had acquired and achieved great success, and would he give it to the Qiu family? He even wondered if he had heard it wrong?
Tong Qian was very satisfied with his reaction and nodded and confirmed: "Yes, it is Yu Yuan's Eight-Plane Divine Fist. The leader of the Qiu family will go to the main hall to copy it if he has time."
Originally, Fang Chen wanted to copy the transcription and deliver it to the door, but it was a bit troublesome to copy the exercises. In addition to the text and graphics, it was difficult to copy it in one or two days, and it was very troublesome to copy it a little wrong. So later, it was decided to simply let them come to the main hall to copy it. This would have a greater impact and better effect. Even if copying it wrong, it was their own business.
After Tong Qian finished speaking, he asked someone to stuff the silver into Qiu Ping's hand and took the man away.
Qiu Ping and his son were still a little dizzy, and they didn't even respond to the Yinzi when they got to their hands, and their faces were already flushed with excitement.
How valuable is a martial arts masterpiece of the acquired Dacheng? Just look at the county's Xiasanbao, Tieshan and the city's Neiguan, Wei and Huo families, all of which are top families and are powerful.
The Qiu family has the Eight-Step Divine Fist and can rise in 20 years. From a small family that doesn’t even have the acquired realm, it has become a big family in Fuyu. Even if they don’t have the identity of a gentry, their influence will not be much worse than those families.
In the near future, Qiu Ping can quickly break through the acquired realm and free his family from his ants-like status.
After coming back to his senses, he realized that Tong Qian and his party had left at some point. Qiu Ping showed annoyance. He had not yet been grateful for the reward from the head of the Fang family. Now he was even more determined to hold the Fang family's thighs tightly.
Close the door and returned to the backyard excitedly. Qiu Ping smiled so hard that he couldn't stop and put the silver on the table, saying, "How? I said to my father that the head of the Fang family is kind and generous, and acts far beyond ordinary people. Following the Fang family is the best result. Look at the whole of Fuyu, which force is comfortable following the Fang family?"
His eldest son Qiu Rong was also nodded with joy, "What my father said is very true. The head of the Fang family is indeed an extraordinary person!"
Qiu Ping smiled and said, "Our Qiu family is just a small businessman, and its background is far less powerful than those gentry tyrants. If you want to rise, it is very important to choose the person you depend on. Although Fang Chen's rise is short and his background is slightly shallow, his methods are extraordinary. He can control the general trend of Fuyu in just a few years. Isn't it simple to even those three families have to bow their heads to show goodwill? What is even more valuable is that they are generous, fair and just, and they promise a lot of money. Who doesn't believe in Fuyu? Butler Tong also said, who doesn't know the character of the head of the Fang family? Looking at the past, have you ever caused the dependent forces to suffer losses? Being able to rely on such people is a blessing for us."
The eldest son kept nodding, and he naturally knew how Fang Chen was. No matter how he looked, it was the best choice for the Qiu family, but his expression was a little hesitant, "Dad, it is best to follow the head of the Fang family, but Zhou Tian is a congenital strongman, and the head of the Fang family may not be able to fight." He has always disagreed with choosing the Fang family for this reason, but the Qiu family is the real father, so he can only move with him.
A trace of worry flashed in Qiu Ping's eyes, but he quickly shook his head and said, "The innate strong man is powerful, but he may not be able to win steadily. The county master seems to support the Fang family, but the result is still unknown. Besides, you have also seen that the Yuyang Martial Arts Hall acts in a manner. Zhang Yang is more domineering than the two gangs at the beginning. If they really agree to them, it will be more difficult in the future than the small five-type households. In any case, it would be better for the father to take a gamble. Fang Chen will win, otherwise... he can only try to join the five-type."
Qiu Rong was sad. At that time, the two gangs only collected security premiums in the store and never forced themselves to rely on them, but the Fuyao gang asked the whole family to submit. Otherwise, the Qiu family would have no place to gain a foothold in Fuyu. He was really arrogant and domineering, and he was holding his breath in his heart.
But whoever made the family weak and could not afford to provoke them at all, could only choose one of the two major forces. At that time, he wanted to compromise and rely on the stronger Yuyang Martial Arts Hall, but his father chose to continue to rely on the Fang family.
Now, my father is right, and the family has the opportunity to rise, but... I hope everything goes well.
The reaction of the other Xu family is not much different from that of the Qiu family. They can only seek completeness in the cracks. The two major forces choose one for protection. This is the sorrow of the small family. Even the right to survive depends on others.
But the two families are happy now because they have chosen the Fang family with greater benefits and received rewards. As long as they can survive for a period of time, they will have the opportunity to take off. Although this period is a bit long, at least they can see hope.
The forces under the county who were notified also sent people to report the losses. Fang Chen, the forces within the Fang system, already knew very well. Since they promised compensation, they would definitely do it. It was this grandeur and credibility that made many of their weak small forces, under the pressure of Zhong, Liu and Zhou Tian, stubbornly and continued to follow the Fang family.
This time they came, they got even greater surprises. The examples of Qiu and Xu families were intentionally or unintentionally promoted, almost everyone knew about it. The two examples almost made all forces in the system almost crazy. There is no need to repeat the role of martial arts acquired. Moreover, it is not the kind of martial arts that can only be used by the disciples themselves in the martial arts school, but are directly given to inherit the family's heritage martial arts.
Not to mention ordinary landlords and fellow villagers, even the little gentry are extremely eager for such opportunities. The gentry wants to shine the family more than any class. The biggest limitation of the family's rise is superior martial arts. If the foundation is insufficient and the strength is not enough, it will be difficult for even entering the official career. Not to mention the distance, even the local county magistrate and county magistrate are not qualified to compete.
After receiving this news, many forces began to readjust their attitudes. Those who had originally planned to continue to follow the Fang family began to shrink their strength and looked like they were hard-working to the end. Some of them were hesitant and had a little contact with the Tieshan Liu family and wanted to leave a way out, they completely cut off contact.
Although Fang Chen is in a weak position, his methods have always been convincing. He has never betrayed Fang's line before. Otherwise, he would have died to the point of death and would have been gone no matter how great the benefits he gave. Now he is nothing more determined.
Since there is a precedent, if they perform well, it may not be their turn.
Fang's hearts, which were a little turbulent, stabilized and became more united and cohesive.
