Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 900 Guo Xiaoke's Revenge

Guo Xiaoke was furious!

Not only was his son severely punished by Fang Junyu in the army, he was beaten to pieces, he was even expelled from the army and sent home!Now Chang'an city is full of ridicules of his Guo family's sarcasm, causing the Guo family to lose face and become a laughing stock!
Thinking of him, Guo Xiaoke, who ran wild in the village since he was a child, and later defected to Li Mi in Wagang, followed Li Ji and rebelled against the great ancestor Li Yuan, and became famous all the way. When has he suffered such humiliation in these many years?
It's really deceiving!
"Boss, why are you angry?"

Then some officials who were close to the relationship asked questions.

"Fang Jun, this son is holding a chicken feather as an arrow, and he is extremely arrogant. My Erlang was in his army, but he had a verbal conflict with his colleagues and insulted the other family, so he was beaten by Fang Jun with dozens of army sticks and then dismissed. Repatriation of military status is really arrogance!"

Guo Xiaoke was furious.

Although it is wrong, his own child did make a mistake, but he has always been protective of his shortcomings, and he dotes on his second son, Guo Daifeng, more than his other sons. Now he is not only severely beaten by Fang Jun, but also removed from the army. lose.With this taint, even if Guo Xiaoke tries to make money for his love in the future, he won't be able to make a big difference in his official career.

This is simply ruining the future...

The few bureaucrats are not fools. Although their official positions are not high, they have been immersed in the officialdom for a long time, and they have a deep understanding of some of the spring and autumn brushwork. "Insulting and the other party's family" seems to be an understatement, but it can make Fang Jun, the chief officer of the first army and the chief of the road, punish Guo Daifeng severely regardless of Guo Xiaoke's friendship with his colleagues, which must be serious in nature.

The Western Regions are an important place for military affairs, even civil servants know a lot about military affairs.

The army is full of hot-blooded soldiers, all of them are young men with vigorous blood. If there is a fight, it is okay to talk about it, and maybe they can make up after turning around.But if someone insulted the other party's family, especially the mother's wife and concubines, it would be absolutely serious.Even if it can't be said that he will never die, he will definitely not give up.And the military discipline punishes this kind of insult to the other party's family very seriously, and it is not an exaggeration to dismiss the military.

Even if you, Mr. Guo, are protecting your weaknesses, you have to be reasonable, right?
Fang Jun doesn't just care about your son himself, the chief officer of the army always wants a bowl of water to be flat, otherwise how can he convince the public?Furthermore, Fang Jun is not yet 20 years old this year, but he already sits on an equal footing with you, Guo Xiaoke. His father is the chief minister of the dynasty, and his father-in-law is the current majesty, why should he have to give you face?
But despite the disdain in his heart, no one dared to show it on the surface. Instead, he followed Guo Xiaoke's words and scolded Fang Jun to show his loyalty.

"This Fang Jun is really too much!"

"Hmph, that guy has always been arrogant. When he was in the Western Regions that day, he was only a small admiral of the Shenji Battalion, and he dared to stand in front of the three armies with Hou Jun, let alone now?"

"That's right, among the merchants in Xizhou nowadays, who dare not speak out against Fang Jun?"

Hearing this, Guo Xiaoke was slightly taken aback: "Why?"

It is said that Fang Jun bought a large number of grapes and wool from the Western Regions, and the price was not low. With such a business partner, why would there be merchants who dare not speak up?

The official said: "The chief executive doesn't know. That Fang Jun bought grapes in the Western Regions, and they bought a lot of grapes. He built several large wine cellars in the farm outside Gaochang City to make wine and sell them to the Tang Dynasty. All over the territory, it is said that overseas business routes have been opened up this year, and they will soon be sold to Japan, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Nanyang. He bought grapes from the Western Regions at a very small cost, and after changing hands, he made dozens or even hundreds of times the profit, how can the local merchants be willing?"

Guo Xiaoke raised his eyebrows shut: "Is there such a thing?"

Several officials looked at each other and agreed in unison.

Although they are all from the Central Plains, they were all officials in the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion before, and they have long been inextricably linked with the Western Regions.Now that he is in charge of the Western Regions and has become the official of the Xizhou Governor's Mansion, he is even more intertwined with local merchants and various forces in the Western Regions.

Of course, there are also forces involved in this...

The profits of grape wine are huge, and everyone has long coveted it.And this profit is now monopolized by Fang Jun, and many forces have long been dissatisfied.It's just that because Fang Jun is very popular now, and Fang Xuanling and His Majesty Li Er are two big backers, no one dares to take his edge easily.

If Guo Xiaoke can stand up...

"Indeed. The wool is said to be woven into cloth, but the weaving machine has not been successfully developed. For this reason, Fang Jun mobilized a large number of craftsmen to come to Xizhou to research and develop new machines day and night, but the effect is not clear. It is even more huge, and the wool that is now hoarded outside the city has already piled up like a mountain, worth tens of thousands of guan.”

Grape brewing is a huge profit, and anyone who looks at it is jealous, but why are you carrying wool?

Guo Xiaoke was a little puzzled, rolled his eyes, and understood...

He pondered for a while, and subconsciously tapped the letter paper on the table with his fingers, making a soft "dongdong" sound.After a long time, he made up his mind, and he ordered: "But invite Ju Wendou and Chimu Haiya to come over, I have important matters to discuss with you. You all step down, perform your duties, and don't slack off in your duties."

"promise."

All the officials withdrew one after another, leaving only a few confidants of Guo Xiaoke in the hall.

Guo Xiaoke waved his hands, called a confidant in front of him, leaned forward, and whispered a few words to him.

The confidant was startled at first, seeing Guo Xiaoke's seriousness, he knew that he had not heard it wrong, let alone that the chief executive was joking, so he nodded in response and left quickly.

Guo Xiaoke narrowed his eyes slightly, pursed the corners of his mouth, expressionless, and ordered the maid to make a pot of high-quality green tea.After taking a few sips, he suddenly remembered that the tea leaves were all from Fang Jun's tea garden in the south of the Yangtze River. Although they were all respected by his subordinates and he didn't need to spend his own money to buy them, it didn't mean that he was sending money to Fang Jun in disguise?

Just as he was about to tell someone not to accept tea as a gift in the future, he swallowed the words again.The summer in the Western Regions is extremely hot, and the winter is cold and dry. Wouldn't it be even more difficult without this kind of tea that nourishes the heart and lungs?

It's not right to accept it, and it's not wrong to not accept it. It's a dilemma.

sorry...

When Ju Wendou and Chimu Haiya arrived, they saw Guo Xiaoke drinking tea in the hall, his head was covered with sweat, and his collar was completely torn.

The two looked at each other, both thinking of the same thing.

I still remember when Fang Jun was in the Western Regions, he nestled under the grape arbor in summer, the wine was as beautiful as jade, and the glass was filled with ice cubes. What kind of enjoyment and honor was that?

Look at the one in front of him again, the official title is higher than that of Fang Jun, but the quality of life is completely incomparable.

This is the difference...

But even though Guo Xiaoke felt inferior to Fang Jun, but at the moment he is the king of the Western Regions, the two hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said: "I will see the chief executive, I don't know if the chief executive has summoned us, what is your order?"

Guo Xiaoke put down his teacup, wiped the sweat on his face and neck with a cool handkerchief that had been filled with well water, and let out a pleasant breath.

Ju Wendou and Chi Mu Haiya think that Guo Xiaoke's drinking tea on a hot day is not as good as Fang Jun's iced wine, but in fact they are ignorant.Although he was sweating profusely with hot tea, he sweated from the inside out, and then took a hot bath, which was extraordinarily refreshing.

Guo Xiaoke raised his eyelids, and casually tapped the chair on one side, "You two, please sit down for a while, I have something to discuss with you two."

Ju Wendou looked at Chimu Haiya, who stroked his snow-white beard, walked to a chair and sat down, Ju Wendou also sat opposite him, and Guo Xiaoke who was sitting in the front seat was surrounded by stars.

"The chief executive is worried about the order, please speak up, we will obey."

Ju Wendou was the first to express his opinion.

Now there are more than ten thousand troops stationed in Xizhou City, all of them are the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Guo Xiaoke is the de facto king of the Western Regions. Who would dare not listen to his words?
It's just that Guo Xiaoke's carelessness made the two of them feel great pressure, and an ominous premonition faintly rose in their hearts...

Guo Xiaoke reached out and picked up a piece of soft pastry from the plate on the table, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly for a while and swallowed it, then took a sip of tea, then raised his eyes again, and looked at the faces of the two wealthy local businessmen in front of him. leader.

The rhetoric has already been carefully considered, so Guo Xiaoke doesn't need to think about it, since the pressure and momentum have been conveyed, I believe these two people can feel it, so he said directly——

"The two of you have cooperated with Fang Junzhi until today."

Guo Xiaoke doesn't like the strategy of the Western Regions or the basic national policy at all.

In his opinion, the army of the Tang Dynasty has long been the best in the world, and the more than ten thousand elite soldiers in his hands are enough to wipe out the 36 countries in the Western Regions!
The soldier is king, this is the foundation of stabilizing the Western Regions.

The way of economy is just icing on the cake, what good is it?
