Fang Jie stretched out his hand and pulled off the leather pouch containing the lead bullets from the Ross man's waist, stuffed the gunpowder, filled one and handed it to the Ross man: "Will you come?"
Andrew translated it with a troubled face. The Ross man originally thought that Fang Jie was going to give him back the short gun and reached out to pick it up, but after hearing Andrew's translation, he immediately jumped back a step. Demeanor, the rear vertically goes out to have two meters.
Fang Jie smiled at Andrew and said, "I don't know if you Russ have signed a labor contract, but we have at least a verbal agreement before that. You stay and help me make firearms. You will be paid monthly wages that you would not have earned in the country of Ross for ten years, there is a saying among the Han people that it is a contract between a gentleman, have you heard it?"
Andrew nodded: "Understood, it means that once you have agreed to the other party's request, you can't go back on it. We Ross people also have the same idea. If you ask me to pay, you must give me beer or your ass will be kicked."
Fang Jie smiled and nodded: "That's a good word. I pay the money and you have to help me make firearms, or I'll kick your ass, okay?"
Andrew translated the words again, and the Ross people looked at each other in blank dismay. The ability that Fang Jie showed just now scared them half to death. In their cognition, it is impossible for someone to catch a bullet with bare hands and not be injured at all. This is something beyond their understanding, and it is unscientific. .
Fang Jie saw that the Ross man didn't dare to take the short gun back, so he crumpled the short gun and threw it aside: "The reason why people are called human is to keep what they say. At the beginning, you promised me that you were greedy for money. Now that I feel that I have enough money, I am ready to leave, I don’t want to do bullying, but I also don’t want others to fool my sincerity.”
He glanced back at those Xiaoqi Schools: "Why didn't you fight?"
The leader of the Xiaoqi school looked at the Dongchu people who had passed out in embarrassment: "General, this person has passed out."
Fang Jie said in a flat tone, "I know he passed out, but the military order I gave you is to give you a hundred lashes, and you can't stop even if he dies before the hundred lashes are finished. Do you understand? I don't want to repeat it a second time, if you don't understand what military orders are, you are not qualified to stay in Xiaoqi Academy."
"Subordinates, remember!"
Xiaoqi School responded, and then continued to beat the Eastern Chu man.
Fang Jie glanced at Andrew and said, "Translate what I just said to your companion."
With a pale face, Andrew translated what Fang Jie had said to the Xiao Riding School before, and the faces of the Ross people who were already terrified were even more frightened.
The Dongchu man who had passed out was beaten more than a dozen times, and then he woke up in pain. He dodged again and again and begged: "General, please stop beating me. Why did you beat me for no reason... General, please stop beating me!" If I fight, I will die! Dong Chu and Da Sui have always been good friends, and I have always respected you... "
Fang Jie interrupted him: "If you respect me, you won't lie to me. You really don't know why I ordered you to be whipped?"
The Dongchu man's eyes flickered for a moment, then he kowtowed vigorously: "I don't dare again."
Fang Jie sneered and said, "You Eastern Chu people are indeed good material for businessmen. You probably instigated these Ross people to leave, right? You are worried that these people have stayed here for too long, I You don't need to do things, so you want them to make trouble, and then you prove your importance, right?"
"If these Rus people go back, you will take the opportunity to publicize how much money they made in the Central Plains, and then more Russ will be willing to come to the Central Plains to work, and you will be able to make a fortune... I didn't want to Telling you these words will directly kill you, but these words are not only for you, but also for those Ross people."
Fang Jie stretched out a finger: "First, if I let you make trouble, then I am incompetent. Second, I am not a kind person, so I have never been kind to those who deceive me. Third, after these Ross people go back, You will promote how easy it is to earn money in the Central Plains, and you will also promote and encourage more foreigners to come to the Central Plains. At that time, more and more foreigners want to come to the Central Plains to make a fortune. The first to come are a group of poor people. What will happen after discovering the splendor and prosperity of the Central Plains here?"
"atrocious."
"They will feel that this place is simply a gold mine, and then, countless foreigners will come here with fleets and troops, not in exchange for labor, but in plunder with the firearms in their hands. Although they may not be able to win, it is a disaster that was not necessary."
What Fang explained, that Eastern Chu person had never thought of.
"I'll tell you something you don't understand. If you are just a butterfly flapping its wings a few times in the country of Ross, the Central Plains may be attacked by a tornado. Maybe you will think that I am talking nonsense, but since there are I have to pay attention to such a possibility. So... you are doomed from the first day you entered my army workshop and you will never get out again, and the same goes for these Ross people."
Fang Jie turned his head and looked at Andrew: "Tell your companions, let them give up. As I said just now, I am not a good person. You can regard me as an honest businessman. I will do what I promise you. You guys If you can’t do what you promised me, I will kill people. Maybe the bullies in the town are what you are most afraid of in Ross Country, right? Let me tell you, here, I am also a bully to those who annoy me.”
"You can't go back, just wait for me to bring your family over."
"Listen to me, you will get what you want. If you don't listen to me, I will take your life."
Fang Jie glanced at the Ross people indifferently: "If you have something to say now, I will wait for you to say it. If you have nothing to say, go back to work."
…
…
Fang Jie led Andrew to walk on the mountain path, he walked ahead and Andrew followed behind. Because of the coldness and terror that Fang Jie showed before, Andrew was still beating drums in his heart. When he thought that Wu Yinyu, whom he admired before, was the fiancée of the great general, and when he thought that Fang Jie had ordered the Eastern Chu merchant to be beaten to death, he was suddenly very frightened, afraid that Fang Jie would kill him in the mountains.
He had always thought that Fang Jie was a gentle and elegant person, a handsome-looking scholar. But just now, he discovered that Fang Xie was a devil in his bones.
When this fear invaded his heart, he became afraid to face it.
"Do you know why I ordered that Dongchu man to be killed?"
Fang asked.
Andrew, who was thinking wildly, was taken aback, and quickly replied: "Because he deceived you."
"more than."
Fang Jie stopped, looked at the majestic mountains in the distance and said slowly: "Even if today's incident hadn't happened, he would have died. Because I like direct things, direct seeing, direct hearing, direct control. From From today onwards, you are the supervisor of the workshop, you can come to me directly if you have anything to say, you can say anything you need, and you can say whatever you have in mind.”
Andrew trembled in fright at Fang Jie's words, it was the kind of fear that spread from his heart, which could not be suppressed.
"I wasn't joking just now."
Fang Jie turned around, looked at Andrew and said seriously: "You guys can't go back, and I have something to tell you, your coming to the Central Plains is strictly blocked by me, and people in your hometown don't You may know that you are here. The Eastern Chu merchant who handled this matter died on the way back shortly after you arrived in the Central Plains. The Eastern Chu merchant who went to pick up your family also ended in the same way. You may think that I I am cruel, but when I have no ability to control everything, I have to find a way to prevent possible things from happening."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, because you haven't experienced it."
Fang Jie said with some emotion: "So you have to adapt to the new life here as soon as possible and find fun. I am a person who keeps my word. As long as you do things seriously, I will not be stingy with everything you deserve. You You will get everything you once imagined but couldn't get, such as wealth and status. In the future, many people like you will come here to work for me, and you will be my hand to help me manage them .”
"I know you're different from them, you like this place. That's why I'm telling you this from the bottom of my heart, and I believe you know I'm not joking. If your companions want to live, they should live in peace Let's do something."
"I see."
Andrew nodded, the cold sweat on his back had soaked his clothes.
"Andrew, you and I mentioned my hope once."
Fang Jie stretched out his hand and gestured: "If the firearms are improved to surpass the current crossbows and bows in the Central Plains, then the army will become stronger. For example, you said that the artillery that cannot be manufactured can be manufactured to equip the army. The clubhouse is invincible. I have sent people to solve the iron ore business, and the next thing you have to do is to supervise the construction of a foundry. I want you to try to make artillery. No matter how many times you fail, you must continue. I believe you can do."
"I know that your background is not good, but it doesn't mean that you are inferior and stupid than those with good background. The people who make history don't have to be high-ranking officials, but ordinary people can also. I will give you everything you need, and I won't care about blaming you for failure. How many times have you done it. As long as you do it seriously, I will give you the greatest support."
"Think about it… "
Fang Jie stretched out his arms and embraced the blue sky: "If you created all this with your hands, then your name will be left in the history books for hundreds of years and thousands of years in later generations. Many years later, people will use you when they mention you. Most respectful tone. What does that mean?"
Fang Jie turned around and asked Andrew.
Andrew shook his head, but some fiery light had begun to flicker in his eyes.
"On behalf of you created an era."
Fang Jie smiled, and shook Andrew's heart with one sentence. How tempting it is for ordinary people to create an era.
"A weapon can make the world chaotic or it can make the world peaceful."
Fang Jie said: "I have a strong army, and I can protect everything I want to protect in my heart. Because I am strong, no one dares to bully me. And when I am strong, you will also become strong. Wait until that When you go back to your hometown, who would dare to look down on you?"
"I see!"
Andrew nodded vigorously: "For the dream!"
Fang Xie knew that he had planted another seed in a person's heart.
