Mr. Yangui

Chapter 443 Chapter [-] Title Issue
The atmosphere in Fangling City was finally no longer as oppressive as before.

Except for the people brought by Li Wuchang and the Qinghuohui, there are not many aborigines left in the city, most of them have fled, because Li Wuchang is just a rebel to Dayan after all, not all Everyone has the courage to risk their lives to follow him.

The properties and lives of the remaining residents have not been violated, and they can still live in their own houses and live their own lives. Li Wuchang did not burn, kill and plunder after breaking the city, and even made some compensation. Few people will burn incense.

Most people who want to make a living in the city mostly rely on business.

Of course, there were many rich people who owned farms outside the city before and lived on rent collection, but now that Fangling County is in such a mess, farms everywhere have been affected more or less, and they can’t sell them even if they want to.

The situation in Fangling County is about to change.

In order to make defensive preparations in advance, Li Wuchang directly ordered the north gate to be sealed, leaving the south gate alone for the people to enter and exit. There are several teams of people at the city gate doing interrogation work at all times.

As long as they don't engage in crooked ways, the soldiers at the city gate will generally not be embarrassed.

The days of doing business are not difficult. Businessmen have their own channels. As usual, they go out of the city to bring goods into the city to sell, and there is no taxation yet. Of course there will be in the future. We need to wait until Fangling City stabilizes.

There are several kinds of business that are easy to do now.

Furniture, clothing, and all kinds of daily necessities are very easy to sell, because Li Wuchang brought many people to the city to settle down.

The food business is also good. There are many large and small restaurants in the city, most of which are patronized by people from the rivers and lakes and sergeants.

Wei Xin once said that the most indispensable thing in the rivers and lakes is all kinds of sidewalkers. Although Fangling City has changed hands now, there are still many such people in the city. This problem must be solved, Li Wuchang I don't want to catch fire in the backyard while defending the city in the future.

Han Dazhi patted Li Wuchang's chest and said that he could leave this question to him.

As for sergeants eating out, that's nothing new.

Although there is a big stove to eat in the army, it does not prevent you from going out to the restaurant during the rotation. Twos and threes come to the restaurant, order a few small dishes and order another pot of turbid wine, drink and talk about the mountains.

Although there is no mention of military pay, but Li Wuchang has rewarded it several times, and he has searched for some valuable things on the battlefield, many people have a lot of money in their pockets, so it is not a problem to improve the food once in a while .

"Platoon leader, I heard that the military department will re-plan these few days, have you received any news?"

In a tavern, more than a dozen soldiers who took a half-day rest were drinking and chatting, talking about the important affairs of the military headquarters.

"It's all good news!"

The young man known as the platoon leader chuckled, then took a sip of wine, smacked his mouth, and continued: "Our owner said it when he was in Hongnong, and he will plan a plan after laying down a base. Fan, now that Fangling has been acquired, Qinghuo will join in strongly, our strength will be further improved, the situation can be said to be very good, and things will naturally be put on the agenda. I don't see that not only the military department needs to be re-planned, but also administrative matters. Plan it out."

One of the squad leaders under the platoon leader said excitedly: "Great, so we can all get paid monthly in the future?"

The platoon leader said: "Of course! The regular army is paid. Our owner is a man with big ambitions. Fangling City is just the beginning. Although I don't know the next move, I think the court will be in Badong and Yiling's army should not have a good life in the future!"

Xiao Bing smirked and said: "Squad leader, then you said that after the re-planning of the army, can we be promoted? Let me tell you, with your strength, platoon leader, you are more than enough to be a company commander. Don't you just accept a bunch of recruits? ? At present, we are training with the crowd, and we must need the officer, and we happened to have made some contributions in the siege battle."

The platoon leader smiled and said: "I can't see that you are an official fan...don't worry, our military department has always been able to go up, but not down. As long as you improve your strength in all aspects, you don't have to worry about not being promoted. In addition to practicing martial arts, you can study more when you are free. Just look at our Chief Zhao and Chief Wu. They are not only high in martial arts, but more importantly, they are knowledgeable and have a big picture. That's why the owner is right. They are entrusted with a heavy responsibility."

The squad leader made a bitter face, and said: "Why do the big soldiers need so much knowledge? Isn't it enough to be brave in battle? I think Commander Xiong and Commander Cao don't seem to have much knowledge, do they? Aren't they still valued?"

The platoon leader said: "Can you compare with Commander Xiong and Commander Cao? Let's not say that the two of them have been with the owner for a long time, but their martial arts can rank first in the entire army." , and they were the ones who had fought tough battles when Feng Yi was in Feng Yi. When killing the old thief Xiang Cong, they often followed the owner to lead the team to charge into the formation, otherwise how could they wipe out Xiang Cong so easily?"

The squad leader said: "That's right, the owner of the village... well, should we change his name, the title of the owner is not bad, but with our current strength, the title of the owner seems a bit petty. "

The platoon leader said: "It's not our turn to worry about this kind of thing, someone will bring it up...... Don't talk so much, come on, drink, let's rest for half a day and relax our nerves, maybe there is another big task tomorrow .”

……

City Lord's Mansion.

Everyone is here, except Wang Wanhong who Li Wuchang is looking forward to.

Han Dazhi was the first to speak, and shouted: "Young Master Leng, don't talk about the planning, I think you should change your title first, and call people the owner of the village. Those who don't know think you are just What a king of the mountain in the corner of the mountain!"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately won the support of everyone.

Definitely should change the name.

Not because it sounds good, but to express an attitude to the outside world.

Fat Xiong chuckled, and suggested: "Why don't you just become the king and make your name known in one fell swoop, what do you guys think of King Fangling?... Uh, this title doesn't seem very auspicious!"

Everyone laughed lightly, and they all rang out the Fangling King from a long time ago.

Cao Hao interjected: "It's not bad to call yourself king, doesn't that Sikong Sheng call himself King of Jiujiang? How grand!"

Han Dazhi said: "The king of Fangling is unlucky, so he can be called the king of Liangzhou directly, which is much more magnificent than the king of Jiujiang!"

Yang Su frowned and said, "Would it be too ostentatious to call yourself king directly?"

Wei Xin agreed: "It's really too ostentatious. We don't have the strength of Si Kongsheng at present. If we rashly become king, we will not only become a thorn in the court's side, but also may become a target of public criticism. Then we will be troubled."

Zhao Xun looked at Li Wuchang and asked, "Young Master Leng, seeing your calm look, do you have any good ideas?"

Li Wuchang said slowly: "I haven't thought about what to call it specifically, but it is really inappropriate to be called a king. There is a saying that goes like this... Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly, what do you think? Is it not suitable for the current situation?"

This should be the hegemony strategy provided by Zhu Yuanzhang's adviser Zhu Sheng.

Everyone savored that sentence carefully.

After a long while, Wu Xun said, "It seems that Young Master Leng doesn't approve of being called king, how about calling him commander-in-chief or city lord?"
