Chapter 303

When dealing with the officials of this city, Gu Junli was not merciful at all.

This way, let them understand in their hearts, don't take chances.

Gu Junli came here for the people and military power, and they couldn't escape at all.

That being the case, it's better to take the initiative by yourself, Gu Junli may be able to forgive them for the sake of their sincerity.

Gu Junli looked at a few people, and said lightly: "Since you are willing to defect, the prince will naturally accept it, but the matter of commanding the army is still left to my people, you can cooperate."

That being said, he didn't give the other party any face at all. Although the generals were sad, there was nothing they could do.

Now that the power of the third prince is strong, they naturally can't do it against others, but they also believe that the soldiers and horses they brought out will not be bought so easily by others.

But they didn't know that since Gu Junli had made such an arrangement, he wouldn't just follow their wishes.

There were originally more than 1000 soldiers, but Gu Junli took away more than half of them, and then asked his generals to stay with 500 soldiers.

In this way, even if the other party has any plan, there is no way to realize it, because everyone is evenly matched.

Such an approach made several people present dumbfounded. This person is too much, too much of a thief.

They never expected that Gu Junli would be so powerful and dare to speak and think.

If those 500 people were taken away directly, wouldn't they be afraid that they would not really surrender?

Of course, Gu Junli also had his own way, he didn't put these 500 people together.

Instead, they spread out, and they had to be obedient to whomever they were under.

Not being obedient, the result is predictable.

So, this is the easiest and best way to do it.

Gu Junli wrote a letter to Su Ruchun here, and then rested for two days, and after arranging the manpower, he set off again.

It's just that this city is in charge of the military rations for this departure.

In fact, this is also a punishment.

Why punish?Naturally, it was because the people in this city had no courage at all.

That being the case, let them be a little stressed and learn a lesson.

Naturally, he had to cherish his good life. He wanted them to live in peace, but they had to know it themselves.

Therefore, this time, they have to be responsible for half a month's military rations, which is not a light or heavy punishment.

Soon, Gu Junli set off again. This time, he not only gained prestige in the hearts of the people, but also had deterrent power.

This time, Gu Junli was not even stopped by anyone, but was welcomed into the next city.

This time the magistrate greeted him directly outside the city, offering his official seal with both hands.

Gu Junli knew that this was because his practice of ignoring money last time made them realize that there was basically no chance of winning.

That being the case, it is better to beg for mercy.

Not to mention, last time the whole family of the magistrate was allotted, so if punishment is to be imposed this time, then he should be punished alone.

Gu Junli did not make a decision right away, but asked someone to lock him up first.

Whenever he went to a place, the people around Gu Junli would immediately take action.

how so?He wants to know what is going on in every place he occupies.

Whether it is the local income, the lives of the common people, or the private conduct of officials.

Therefore, he will stay here for a few days.

In fact, the few days he stayed here was equivalent to giving the other party a chance. As long as the other party did not overdo it, then he would not be in danger of losing his life.

Of course, some people will lose their official positions. After all, they need an official who can do practical things, not a person who commands and harms the people, or who does nothing. Both of which are not acceptable.

But I didn't expect that this person in front of me is a rare one. When he was in office these years, he not only vigorously promoted agriculture and business, but also started to build water conservancy.

You have never heard of this in other places, and you have never seen it. I didn't expect this guy to have this kind of revenge.

But Gu Junli was very curious, where did he get the money to do these things?
In the end, I couldn't ask, but I got the answer the next day. It turned out that it was the merchants and big families in the city, and they even joined hands to pay a visit.

In the past, Gu Junli would never have dealt with such a person, but now they are fighting?Every day the soldiers and horses walk, it requires a lot of financial support.

Although my wife has so many skills to make money, she still needs to save money. This can be regarded as saving snacks for my wife and taking good care of the two children.

So with this in mind, Gu Junli met a few of them, and then heard about a very interesting thing.

"Third prince, don't you know? This lord is really outrageous. He has searched us for so many years!"

"Yes, no matter what the salt tax or tea tax is, there is an increase every year, and the little money we earn is not enough for him."

Although this is a bit exaggerated, it can be seen that the prefect did not take less.

"Since this is the case, then this king will definitely check it out."

Everyone was very happy to hear this, so they donated generously. If you give 5000 taels, I will give 1 taels. Anyway, it is money.

In this way, the cost of soldiers and horses for more than half a month is enough.

After these people left, Gu Junli met the magistrate again.

"Prefect Qian, do you know what they are here for?"

Hearing his words, the magistrate in front of him smiled, and said, "Of course they came to sue. After you came here, they finally had a chance to bring me down."

Hearing this, I know that you are a sensible person, and you know that he is here to complain, but your expression is too indifferent.

"Then do you have anything to say?"

"I want to say that what they said is not wrong. I did take the money and I wanted it. It's okay if they don't give it to me. If they don't give it to me, their money will be cut off!"

Hearing this, Gu Junli laughed and asked, "What about the money? Where did you put it?"

"Of course all the money is spent. What's the point of keeping the money at home? Of course it has to be spent."

"Where did it go? With so much money, it won't be spent in a daze."

"Let me tell you this, all the money is spent on building bridges and roads. This world belongs to the royal family, but it cannot be separated from the people. If the people don't live a good life, then the world will be in chaos."

Hearing what this person said, Gu Junli couldn't help laughing. Although his approach was a bit inappropriate, it had to be said that it was very effective.

He has come all the way, and the roads and bridges here are indeed the best, and the business is also very developed.

Therefore, it is not a big problem for him to be the magistrate due to his duty. If so, let's continue to be the magistrate.

Anyway, they are used to it, and they don't know what to do when someone suddenly changes. These merchants, if you have money and strength, continue to make some contributions.

"You are doing well, very well!"

The magistrate did not expect to get such an evaluation.
