Turbulent Times Chapter 927: It’s time to compete in acting again

Wang Junlin said with confidence: "Do you still remember when I killed the county magistrate, county lieutenant, captain, and county magistrate in Changxiang County, why I deliberately beheaded them in front of the people, and also deliberately killed them in front of the people?" Publicize their crimes in front of the people of the county and show the corresponding evidence."

Hearing the words, Zhang Tiangang couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "I understand, my lord has taken a fancy to tens of thousands of salt slaves and salt workers."

Wang Junlin said with a smile: "Seeing that you like to use your brain more and more recently, let me explain to you. There are two thousand salt workers in the salt field, and a thousand soldiers from the county are needed to protect the periphery. If I completely control the salt field, If we take back the work of guarding the surrounding county soldiers, it is equivalent to brazenly controlling three thousand soldiers. To the outside world, they are just an inconspicuous village of thousands of saltmen, but this salt field is well-protected, like an independent kingdom. Three thousand people have been trained to become elite soldiers, how do others know, these three thousand people will naturally not include the two thousand Yanding today, I will send them away, from being full of gratitude to me, and even thinking that I have rebuilt them Choose from among Zhien’s salt slaves and salt workers, so that the loyalty of these three thousand people can be guaranteed.”

Hearing the words, Zhang Tiangang had long expressed admiration, thinking that your lord is indeed brilliant.

Wang Junlin saw that Zhang Tiangang was transparent, so he intentionally trained him, and continued: "As for why I made a big detour, one is to let the process spread and let the salt workers and salt slaves know that it is not easy for me to stand up for them. The second is to subtly prevent Dong Kang, Qian Zhengkuo and others from becoming too wary of me, so that I can prepare for the next attack."

Zhang Tiangang was stunned, understood what Wang Junlin meant, and said with a smile: "My lord's plan is to kill only the five chief master craftsmen, or kill all the master craftsmen. I heard that there are more than forty masters in the entire salt factory." Master."

Wang Junlin sneered and said, "It depends on their attitude, or whether they give me a chance to kill them."

…

…

Wang Junlin was not idle during the two days. He learned the tricks of later generations of political officials to show off, went deep into the front line of the salt field, exchanged warm greetings with the salt workers and salt slaves, and expressed deep concern and love.

If it weren't for the swollen and pig-headed faces of the five chief craftsmen, and Xu Xiaohu secretly spreading the word about what happened that day, maybe tens of thousands of salt workers and salt slaves would think that Wang Junlin was just acting. But now it is different. Everyone initially believes that Wang Junlin really cares and loves them, and really wants to make decisions for them.

Of course we have to fully believe this, and it depends on how Wang Junlin handles the wages paid by the master craftsmen two days later. If Wang Junlin leaves with this money, the salt workers and salt slaves will not see any benefit , will immediately think that Wang Junlin and these principals are just like a bird, they are all bad guys without hesitation...

Of course, these master craftsmen who represent the Lu family in the salt field will not sit still. While raising money, they send people to report to their master Lu family and ask for help at the first time, but the strange thing is that The Lu family did not send anyone to intercede with the prefect, nor did they seem to have taken any remedial action until the last day, when the Lu family sent someone to send a message to the five master craftsmen in charge: "You can decide how to act according to the situation. .”

This instruction without instructions caused more than forty master craftsmen to worry immediately. They didn't know what to do for a while, and the master craftsmen who felt the strong danger gathered in secret under the organization of the five chief master craftsmen. When they got together, they began to discuss how to deal with Wang Junlin's "two-day order".

Wang Junlin was even happier when he learned that these people didn't give up and handed over the money quickly, and tried to confront him in vain.

No matter what Wang Junlin thinks, after all, people are of all kinds. Everyone has different ideas and personalities. What's more, they are just master craftsmen in the salt field. Sex has already determined that they will not be too shrewd.

So in the face of Wang Junlin's "two-day order", each of them has their own plans. He began to secretly prepare to report the illegal activities of other masters, seeking a lenient result for himself, and more masters began to gather around the five chief masters, secretly discussing how to force Wang Junlin to take it back. Let them die, or let them pay less money.

…

…

Two days later, no master finally handed over the stolen goods and pleaded guilty, but Dong Kang was a smart man who took the initiative to confess some illegal things he had done over the years. Wang Junlin did not make things difficult for him, and even comforted him a few words, let it go.

There are also some great craftsmen who secretly pleaded guilty and took the initiative to contact Zhang Tiangang, expressing their willingness to be a tainted witness at the right time. Great craftsman.

The next morning, there was half a day before the deadline set by Wang Junlin. Wang Junlin stayed at the post station, and he was a little worried about Nie Xiaoyu and his party, because there was no news about Nie Xiaoyu so far. It takes at least two days for an ordinary sea-going ship, and four days for a round trip, but Wang Junlin still couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"My lord, the salt officials Dong Kang and Qian Zhengkuo are asking to see you." A guard came to report.

"Oh! Let them in!" Wang Junlin said casually, thinking to himself, counting the time, these two people should also come.

Dong Kang and Qian Zhengkuo ran in all the way, with an exaggerated look of panic on their faces.

"Dong lord, Qian lord, why are you two so flustered?" Wang Junlin looked at the two of them, frowning slightly.

"My lord, it's bad. All the master craftsmen, salt workers, and salt slaves in the salt field have gone on strike." Dong Kang's acting skills are good, at least if Xu Xiaohu hadn't secretly reported the situation of the entire salt field at any time, Wang Junlin would have really I believe that Dong Kang was panicking from the bottom of his heart, but Qian Zhengkuo was not good at acting, and he didn't dare to look at Wang Junlin. The matter of the strike was not reported to the prefect in advance.

Of course Wang Junlin's acting skills are also very good, I saw him startled slightly, then his face changed slightly, and he stood up abruptly.

Seeing the change in Wang Junlin's expression, Dong Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the prefect is still very afraid of the strike at the saltworks! After all, even if four-fifths of the salt farm's tax revenue is taken away by the salt company, the tax revenue brought by the remaining one-fifth of the output is still a quarter of the tax revenue of Fanyang County. This is not a small amount. As Fan Yang Of course, the county prefect cares most about taxes.

Wang Junlin opened his mouth and smiled wryly: "What to do now, what to do!"
