Chapter 733 Rumors Spread
Living in Chang'an, the control over Jiangnan's family is getting weaker and weaker...
Xiao Yu was a little annoyed, feeling that these old fellows in the family not only couldn't see the situation clearly, but also thought too much carefully, and said in a solemn tone: "Fang Jun has the prestige of a great victory, and his momentum is the same. Zhong also only thinks that he is young and energetic, and he will not be harsh if he wants to vent his anger after being wronged. Therefore, Fang Jun must not be provoked at this time. This guy is a stick. Whoever dares to provoke him now must be prepared to swallow it. The price to bear! No matter what the family is involved in, it must stop immediately!"
These old guys in the family who have lived in Jiangnan for a long time have always acted from their own perspectives. They pay attention to the so-called rules of conduct agreed by the gentry in Jiangnan. The set of benevolence, righteousness and morality has gained a firm foothold in public opinion.
But Fang Jun will play this game with you?
No one knows Fang Jun's behavior better than Xiao Yu who is in the capital, if you offend me, hit me back!No reason, no law, no public opinion, they are all out of consideration!If the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River can give Fang Jun sufficient respect on the surface, but only use small tricks to plot interests secretly, maybe Fang Jun can still laugh and play with you, and wrestle with your wrists.
But if he dared to pull his beard with his chin, he would be unscrupulous and could do anything!
Do you really think that this guy dare not kill people in a flash?
Perhaps Xiao Yu's warning was too severe, or Fang Jun's combat power in the battle of Niuzhuji was too ferocious, several clan elders nodded and acquiesced to Xiao Yu's opinion.
Xiao Yu was a little relieved, and after a while of silence, he said: "From now on, my family will not only not oppose Fang Jun, but also support Fang Jun as much as possible. Uncles, Li Tang's country is as solid as gold, and it is getting worse day by day. Today is not what it used to be, and the situation of being unable to manage Jiangnan in the previous Sui Dynasty is long gone, and if we continue to fight against the imperial court, the gains will outweigh the losses.”
He had to remind the family elders in such a tone.
As a distinguished family that has lasted for hundreds of years, even if Xiao Yu has the blood of the Nanliang royal family and is the patriarch of the Xiao clan, it is impossible for him to decide with one word on major matters in the family.That is to say, the elders of the clan are all the most respected generation in the clan, and some even Xiao Yu, who has a gray beard, has to be respectfully called "uncle". It is impossible not to respect these elders.
It's a pity that his words were not heard by several clan elders...
It's fine not to provoke Fang Jun, but to support him?
What a joke!
There was even a trembling clan elder relying on the old to sell the old: "Shiwen, the capital is rich and beautiful, but it is also rich and powerful. It is inevitable to look forward and backward and worry a lot. Since it is hard to go back to the ancestral house, it is a good time to enjoy the countryside. Zi Wenqing, let's put aside those trivial matters for the time being."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood in anger!Is this a mockery of me living in Chang'an for a long time, have I lost my courage?
But he stared blankly, but there was nothing he could do!
He can slap the table and stare at the other patriarchs and patriarchs of the Jiangnan gentry, but he can't be disrespectful to these elders... There is no way, the old man is too senior and too old. I think Xiao Yu was still in Nanliang back then. When playing with urinals in the imperial palace, this little dick played him...
Another clan elder next to him said indifferently: "Shi Wen, everyone knows that you are always cautious in your actions, but you don't need to be too timid. Although Fang Jun won this battle, he offended everyone severely. .Our Xiao family will not participate, but just watch the other families deal with Fang Jun, how good is that?"
What else can Xiao Yu say?
Fang Jun went south, making it clear that he would grab food from the bowls of the Jiangnan gentry.These old things value the interests of their mouths more than their lives, how could they give up so easily?
Xiao Yu had no choice but to pray that his family would not get too involved in dealing with Fang Jun, causing Fang Jun to retaliate...

Fushan Village is located in the north of Haiyu Town, close to the Dajiang River, where the waterways of Haiyu Town and Suzhou counties converge. All kinds of goods and materials leave and enter the port here, and it is very prosperous.
On the east side of the port in Fushan Village, there are hundreds of boats parked, stretching for several miles, which is very eye-catching.Su Dingfang was standing on the pier at the moment, looking at the endless warships and merchant ships on the shore, he let out a long breath.
Since arriving in Haiyu Town, the news of Fang Jun being besieged by Niuzhuji came, and everyone in the fleet was panicked.If the coach dies like this, will the big guys disband on the spot, or return to Guanzhong?
Many people clamored to go up the river to Niuzhuji to support Fang Jun, but they were all appeased by Su Dingfang.Haiyu Town is half a river away from Niuzhuji, and it goes upstream. It will take ten and a half months to reach Haiyu Town. If you rush there in a hurry, not only may you not be able to save Fang Jun, but if you don't pay attention, you may be killed He was intercepted and killed on a dangerous shoal in the river...
Both Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian could smell the strong conspiracy behind this incident, and if they said that no Jiangnan nobles were involved, they would not believe it if they were killed.If you go up the river in a hurry, you might be plotted against by the Jiangnan gentry and capsize in the gutter.
All they can do is to wait for Fang Jun to escape and come here to join them.Therefore, to strengthen our vigilance, we must not give opportunities to the Jiangnan gentry with ulterior motives.Haiyu Town is an important town in the Three Wus. The gentry surnamed Wu gather together, and the upper and lower are the eyes and ears of the Jiangnan gentry. If one is not careful, it may fall into a place of eternal doom.
But no matter how cautious Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian were, they had suffered a lot in this land of the Three Wus...
The most serious thing is the loss of various materials, especially wood and iron.
In order to build the ship, Fang Jun and Jiangxia County King Li Daozong joined forces to cut down giant trees from the upper reaches of the river and let them flow down the river until they reached Suzhou.However, when the timber arrived here, it was picked up from the river and hoarded on the shore, but suffered a lot of theft...
Even if Pei Xingjian worked out a strict patrol system, it should not be used.
The local porters, boatmen, servants of the government office, tax collectors, even watchmen, officials... all ganged together, a nest of snakes and rats, and tried every means to steal, it was impossible to guard against!
In more than ten days, Su Dingfang almost turned his hair gray!
However, as the news of Fang Jun's victory spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River, the situation finally changed. The arrogant officials and gangsters in the past all disappeared without a trace, and they were replaced by silent and cold-eyed onlookers.
The river is turbulent, the boats are connected, the blue waves are rippling, and the setting sun is like blood.
Pei Xingjian came behind Su Dingfang and said in a low voice: "Master, I found out."
Su Dingfang turned around, with a solemn face, and asked, "How?"
Pei Xingjian sighed and said: "It is indeed the work of various families. These people spread rumors in Haiyu City that Hou Ye was bloodthirsty and murderous like hemp. The water has been stained red by the blood of the Jiangdong people... The common people don't know the truth, and now they all regard Lord Hou and our subordinates as scourges and avoid them for fear of being too late."
Su Dingfang snorted coldly: "These aristocratic families must have been hurt by the beating of Lord Hou, so they fabricated such rumors to slander Lord Hou's reputation, so as to drive a wedge between the people of Jiangdong and us, making it difficult for us to move forward in Jiangnan. Humph , It's really insidious!"
"But it's really effective!" Pei Xingjian said with a sad face: "Now the people in Jiangdong are as if they are talking about us, and they are not even willing to sell us food and other daily consumption. They have to double the price to buy it. If things go on like this, it will be difficult. what!"
It is a trivial matter to eat, eat, etc., and the big deal is to transport it from other places by water.But after Fang Jun arrives in a few days, the construction of docks, shipyards, and the establishment of the Municipal Shipping Department will be put on the agenda. Without the support of the local people, these will be even more difficult.
Could it be that even the workers who built the wharf had to be brought in from elsewhere?
This method of discrediting the Jiangnan gentry's reputation is like drawing a salary from the bottom of the pot, and it has indeed brought them great difficulties.
Unexpectedly, Su Dingfang just glanced at Pei Xingjian, and said lightly: "You are the head of the Shipbuilding Department. How to prepare for the Shipbuilding Department and how to build the wharf is your business. A certain job is the commander of the Navy and is only responsible for training troops. Don't blame me for these trivial matters, and worry about it yourself, what does it have to do with me?"
Pei Xingjian was dumbfounded.
You are my master!
This is...too shameless, right?
