Chapter VIII Red Banner Army(1/3)

Fushou was drinking tribute wine leisurely in his mansion, and the gold vessels in his hands rotated according to his mood. At this time, he felt that the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were just like the gold vessels in his hands.

Playthings are average.

Unlike many Mongolian nobles who looked down upon the common people, Fu Shou believed that the common people were as valuable as the gold in his hands, and could be exploited and blood-sucked by him at any time.

Thinking of the pride in his heart, Prime Minister Zuo Fushou couldn't help but laugh. He felt that he was the true king of the southern Yuan Dynasty, and all the people in the south would surrender before him.

Master Sui happened to enter Fu Shou's room at this time, and then heard Fu Shou's wild laughter. Master Sui was frightened and fell to his knees. It happened that his ugly appearance was clearly seen by the laughing Zuo Prime Minister Fu Shou.

Fushou looked at his "loyal dog" disdainfully, and then said boredly, "Master Sui, when did you come back?"

"Prime Minister...Prime Minister, this slave just came back!"

"Well! Is there anything unusual about that person named Suning?"

"Back to Prime Minister, Suning is very well-behaved!

All I can think about is how to make money!”

"Oh? Tell me in detail!" After hearing Master Sui's evaluation of Suning, Fushou stopped drinking and suddenly looked at Master Sui with some interest.

"Yes! Prime Minister!

In order to make the salt people work more, Suning deliberately gave them better food, and when the wages were paid, he only gave them five cents.

In order to increase the daily salt production, the working hours of the salt farmers were deliberately extended, and the foreman was asked to wake up the salt farmers sleeping in the work shed before dawn."

"etc!

Did you just say that Suning really only paid Yan people five cents as wages?

And what we used to give was ten cents?"

"Yes! Prime Minister!"

"The salt workers don't have any objections?"

"No! Even if there is, I have to hold it in!"

"Oh? Why is that?"

"It's all because Suning is such a ghost and deliberately uses food to lure the salt people to work more.

In the past, there were only two meals a day, but Suning gave the salt residents three meals. In this way, the salt residents could not express their opinions!

The mouths of the salt people have been blocked by Suning long ago!"

“Haha, you Han people are so good at doing business!

This is a trend that will completely drain the salt residents of the Jianghuai Salt Farm!"

"The Prime Minister is wise!

The Prime Minister is so kind.

Giving Suning and Chen Bo up to 20% of the profit will be enough for them to make a lot of money."

"Haha, don't worry!

If you want to eat mutton, you must first raise the sheep and fatten it!" Prime Minister Zuo Fushou proudly drank the cup in one gulp, as if what he drank was the wealth of the Chen and Su families.

"The Prime Minister is wise!"

"Master Sui, I heard that Suning has opened many handicraft workshops near the salt field?"

"Yes! Prime Minister!

Suning hired a woman and paid her only five cents a month.

The Longmen Escort Agency takes the made shoes and clothes to the big city and sells them at double the price!

A worker’s monthly salary is not even enough to buy a pair of shoes!”

"Haha, this is the genius of businessmen.

We, Dayuan, have always been open-minded, and we treat Suning, an honest person who abides by the law and does business very favorably."

"Yes! Prime Minister!"

"Has Suning's Longmen Escort Agency behaved unusually recently?"

"Replying to the Prime Minister, now the Longmen Escort Agency can no longer make ends meet.

They have begun to slowly shrink, and I heard that the business in Hangzhou has stopped!

I also met a lot of escorts at the Jianghuai Saltworks, and it seems that Suning is planning to let the escorts become salt residents."

"Oh! It seems that Suning is really honest!

And he is really smart!" After hearing Master Sui's report, Fushou smiled with satisfaction, and then was very satisfied with Suning who just wanted to "make money", "Master Sui, you have worked hard too!

Go down and rest!”

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

...

In recent days, two brothers, Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shide, have been spreading rumors about the Longmen Escort Agency among the Yan people, but the response has been mediocre, which makes the two brothers very angry.

"Brother, something is wrong!

My mouth is almost dry, and the salt people will just giggle!" Zhang Shide looked helplessly at his eldest brother Zhang Shicheng.

"Hmm! It's really weird!

I feel like the salt people are nostalgic for the food at Longmen Escorts, after all, Longmen Escorts is too damn willing to give them food." Zhang Shicheng's side was also not going well, and he could only guess that the food was good.

"Uh? Brother, what should we do next?"

"damn it!

You will ask me, brother, what should I do?

Can't you make up your own mind?" Zhang Shicheng has been very afraid of his younger brother's words "Brother, what should we do?" recently, and he feels like he has a headache when he hears this.

"Uh..." Looking at the eldest brother who suddenly got angry, the younger brother felt aggrieved.

Zhang Shicheng also noticed his brother's grievance, knowing that he was not to blame for this matter, and then said in a sudden and helpless tone, "Shide, don't blame me for my bad tone!

It's true that now we have been forced into a desperate situation by the Longmen Escort Agency.

You may not know it yet!

The Longmen Escort Bureau hired Wuhu Navy Manzi Hague's giant ships to transport salt from the Jianghuai Salt Fields and quickly occupied the market in the Yangtze River Basin."

"Ah? Longmen Escort Agency is so powerful!

Then let’s have some fun!”

"Yes! We may have to find other ways out in advance."

"Ah? Brother, where do you think we should go?"

"I..." This was another hateful question. Zhang Shicheng really felt like he was worse off than dead. He didn't want to make his own decision in everything, "Hey! Just take it one step at a time!"

The suffering brothers at the end of the Yuan Dynasty were even more miserable than in the original time and space. The original time and space was only bullied by Meng Yuan's person in charge of the salt field, but now they are squeezed by Suning's Longmen Escort Bureau and have no living space.

Next, the Zhang brothers could only take more than 40 salt residents and wander around looking for opportunities, but they didn't know that they would really accomplish nothing if they left the blessed land of Jianghuai Salt Farm.

...

Suning's plan has been proceeding in an orderly manner. The Longmen Escort Bureau has all shrunk to the city within the plan, and then hidden in different places with different identities. They only waited for Suning's order to launch attacks on the defenders in various places in Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty.

After a long period of preliminary screening, one hundred thousand qualified salt people have been selected from the Jianghuai salt people, and they will become soldiers as soon as the time comes.

Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

In the end, Suning wanted Liu Futong to rebel in advance, so he deliberately arranged for the Jin Yiwei to approach the White Lotus Sect, and then slowly came to Han Shantong and Liu Futong.

"Two immortal masters, my master is a loyal believer of the White Lotus Sect. He specially presented a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver and three thousand sets of weapons and armor."

"What? So many!" Han Shantong was obviously very helpless and suddenly made a voice of surprise.

At this time, Liu Futong on the side was a little unhappy when he saw Han Shantong without a palace, and then looked at the visitor meaningfully, "Ahem! I think your master must have made a mistake!

We, the White Lotus Sect, don’t need any weapons or armor at all!”

"Haha, Master Liu Xian, why do you lie to a sincere believer!

My master is also considered to be in a high position, and he got the information that the White Lotus Sect is about to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty a long time ago.

It's just because my master is a loyal believer in the White Lotus Sect that he used means to help suppress you."

"What?" At this time, Liu Futong could no longer maintain his composure and began to panic along with Han Shantong.

"Haha, you two immortal masters should read this report letter first!" The visitor took out a letter and handed it to the panicked two people.

Han Shantong took the report letter from the visitor one step ahead of Liu Futong, and then Liu Futong showed his displeasure that was not easily noticed by others, which happened to be clearly seen by the visitor.

The person who came was a member of the Jinyiwei secretly established by Suning. Of course, the content in the report letter was also concocted by Jinyiwei. It was the White Lotus Sect information that Jinyiwei had collected near Yingzhou during this period.

Han Shantong looked at the contents of the report letter, his breathing became more and more rapid, and his face turned pale, "Futong, take a look!

It’s over now!
