Chapter 228: It

~8 min read 1,405 words

"You... just be happy!" Jiang Jinshi wanted to comfort this man of few words, but didn't know how to speak.

Huang Yan stood up again when he saw this, but was blocked by Xiao Chunqiu beside him, and sat down calmly again.

Xiao Chunqiu didn't learn from the people in front and kneel on one knee, but bowed to Jiang Jinshi with a scholar's ceremony, cupping his hands and bowing.

"I, Xiao Chunqiu, pride myself on having some talent, but in front of the Great Chief, I am like a firefly seeing the bright moon. If you don't dislike Xiao's shallow talent, Xiao is also willing to help the Great Chief."

Xiao Chunqiu was a smart man. Since joining Yangguangzhai, he had been able to see the changes and development of Yangguangzhai.

He did like to weigh the pros and cons, but that didn't mean he had no ambition. From Yangguangzhai, he could see a possibility, which was the reason why he was willing to do so.

It was precisely because he had read the sages' books that Xiao Chunqiu could know that the current Da Qian had gathered those characteristics of a dying country.

Although the performance was not so obvious, if the decline was already formed, then he, as a small County Magistrate, would just be a lonely boat in front of the huge waves.

Since that was the case, why not bet on Jiang Jinshi early and assist the other party wholeheartedly.

For Xiao Chunqiu, this was no different from gambling, but Yangguangzhai was worth him betting all his family wealth!

Jiang Jinshi hadn't forgotten that he failed to fuse the martial general's soul for Xiao Chunqiu at the beginning. If Xiao Chunqiu expressed not joining, he would let the other party go.

But Xiao Chunqiu expressed it like this, and Jiang Jinshi had to use the martial general's soul to test it again.

If it failed to fuse again, he couldn't keep Xiao Chunqiu, because this concerned the lives of everyone in Yangguangzhai.

So Jiang Jinshi supported Xiao Chunqiu with both hands, and even said: "Brother Xiao doesn't need to perform such a big ceremony!"

At the same time, he silently chose to fuse!

【Fusion Successful】

Jiang Jinshi let out a breath. This result was what he most wanted to see.

However, because the matter was urgent, he only spent ten points to draw a lowest-level martial general's soul. He would change it for the other party when there was a suitable one in the future!

Seeing that Big Brother was in front of him, Huang Yan stood up with a "swoosh." This time, no one should interrupt him, right?!

"Ahem! Let me say a few words!"

Feng Chunsheng sat on the chair and prepared to stand up. The fatigue during this period made his body much worse. If it weren't for Jiang Jinshi's "Hundred Diseases Fading Pills," he might have been lying in bed long ago.

Seeing this, Jiang Jinshi turned to support Feng Chunsheng, saying with a painful face: "Old Feng, don't learn from them. If you have anything to say, just sit and say it!"

Seeing this, Huang Yan didn't sit down either, standing straight in the corner!

Feng Chunsheng didn't insist either, sitting on the chair and saying slowly: "Uprising and rebelling is an act of great rebellion!"

As soon as these words came out, those kneeling on one knee almost couldn't help but draw their knives to kill Feng Chunsheng, and even Wang Hou and Tang Xiao Yu's daggers were already in their hands.

Jiang Jinshi raised his hand toward the crowd, signaling them to continue listening to Feng Chunsheng's speech.

"Ahem!" Feng Chunsheng coughed uncomfortably twice, and after catching his breath, he continued: "But the court is in chaos, the current Emperor only cares about the mutual slaughter of brothers, and the great famine in Beijiang and the Xiongnu matter are completely ignored, treating the millions of soldiers and civilians in Beijiang like grass."

"Fortunately, the Great Chief is benevolent and righteous, preserving the peace of a Jun and the health of the commoners! This is an act of benevolence!"

"Now that the Great Chief is speaking out for the commoners of Beijiang, I, Feng Chunsheng, am willing to work for the Great Chief, and I will not regret it even if I die nine times!!"

Everyone let out a sigh of relief, but if Jiang Jinshi hadn't stopped them just now, I'm afraid Feng Old Man wouldn't have had the chance to say these words later!

Jiang Jinshi also didn't expect that this stinky and hard stone, Feng Old Man, would agree to this!

Feng Chunsheng seemed to see what Jiang Jinshi was thinking and said slowly: "Old man, I was also a scholar with high spirits! I just didn't expect that this full ambition would finally be realized in a bandit den!"

Huang Yan knelt down with a "thump": "I've seen it, there's no one left! It's really my turn this time."

"I!! Won't!! Leave!!"

"If you don't leave, don't leave, why are you so loud?" Wang Hou turned the dagger in his hand: "If you are so loud again, I will stab your throat!"

"Oh!" Huang Yan shrank his neck, not daring to breathe hard.

"Fine! Everyone get up!" Jiang Jinshi looked at this crowd kneeling in a circle, feeling warm in his heart but still not used to it.

After everyone sat back in their seats, the atmosphere was completely different from before, and a vigorous spirit was spreading among them.

At this time, Feng Chunsheng said: "Old man, I have something to say."

"Speak freely!" Jiang Jinshi waved his hand, the joy on his face unable to be hidden.

"Since everyone has the heart to do so, there is no rule without a circle. We have many problems now, and they all need to be solved one by one!" Feng Chunsheng managed the city, naturally able to find many unreasonable places. In the past, it was fine, but now it wouldn't do not to mention it.

"Hmm! Feng Old Man, you speak!" Jiang Jinshi put away his smile.

"First is the rule set by the Great Chief at the beginning, that bandit family members can eat for free. At first, it was fine, but now the number of people is increasing. This matter is inappropriate!"

Feng Chunsheng continued: "I canceled this item in the subsequent recruitment, but because the previous people were like this, the later people naturally followed suit. Taking advantage of the fact that the family members of those surrendered soldiers have not yet joined, there must be a chapter!"

Jiang Jinshi nodded. This was indeed a problem. At the beginning, he couldn't afford military pay and had to win over everyone to constantly expand, so he set this rule.

Now it seems that it is not appropriate, and it must be changed!

Luo Feng thought and said: "This definitely won't work, but if we change it immediately, I'm afraid the brothers below will have opinions. We must think of a good way."

"Is the number of people not large for the time being?" Jiang Jinshi looked up at Feng Chunsheng.

Feng Chunsheng frowned and responded: "Because I deliberately removed this item, it has not spread yet."

"Good! Then let's do this: in the future, we will no longer provide free meals to family members, but change to providing work!" Jiang Jinshi continued: "Those jobs are prioritized for the brothers' family members, and provided according to what each person can do."

"Do we have so many jobs for them to do?" Feng Chunsheng asked worriedly.

"First, limit the age! Those who are young go to school, no work provided! Second, those who are old can't do work either, this part can be excluded. So the number of people who meet the requirements will not be as many as imagined!"

Jiang Jinshi could even anticipate that according to the current family composition, if the strong people go to find work, it would be better to join Yangguangzhai, and the monthly pay would be more.

And those in the family who meet the requirements, after removing the old and young, I'm afraid there are only the wives in the family.

This part of the people can completely let them do clothing, don't forget that the production of paper armor and winter cotton clothes all need manpower. ===== CHAPTER 229 =====
