Chai Jingyun's words completely shocked Lou Loulou.
When Chai Jingyun transferred him back from the southern frontier army, he had been following Chai Jingyun.
For more than a month, he has participated in the affairs of Moon Island, and he is naturally aware of all the details.
Although the negotiation with Zhao Dachui did not go very smoothly at the beginning, at least everything was completed smoothly.
When the dust settled, the matter was naturally a complete success.
He originally thought that after Moon Island surrendered, everything would be solved. The only thing he worried about was whether Duan Wenjun could control these people.
However, he did not expect that there would be so many things involved in it.
Lou Loulou grew up with Chai Jingyun in the house of the ruthless emperor since ancient times. It is impossible for him not to know about it.
It's just that he didn't think that far into these things at all.
At this moment, Chai Jingyun let out a long sigh, and then spoke again, "From the beginning to the end, Wen Jun and I have been good friends. We think and work hard in the same direction on many things. However, outsiders' opinions What do they think of this? They won’t say that we are friends, but they will think that Wenjun is my party member, and they may even say that Wenjun and I are both party members of the eldest princess’s aunt.”
"What the emperor hates most today is forming cliques for personal gain. Wouldn't that be..." Upon hearing this, Lou Loulou's expression changed drastically once again.
The bitter smile on Chai Jingyun's face became even worse: "Even if you take ten thousand steps back, the emperor is willing to believe me, will the ministers in the court be willing to believe me? Will the remonstrating ministers be willing to believe me?"
Lou Loulou frowned, "So, Young Master is deliberately using this method to create conflicts? If Young Master Duan is slightly jealous of Young Master, and it spreads to the court..."
"I can't think of any other better way for now." Chai Jingyun said again, "I can only take one step at a time."
"But if this sentence of execution is going to be detrimental to Mr. Duan, what should we do?" Lou Loulou asked again.
"Lou Lou, don't underestimate Wenjun." Chai Jingyun smiled, "I believe he must have guessed that the incident of him being kidnapped by a gust of wind that day was related to Zhang Suxing, and he must have been investigating it privately. . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to hide it from us and take Li Deming away.”
Louloulou nodded, "So, the young master deliberately let Mr. Duan take away Li Deming that day just to make him and Zhang Suxing..."
"That's the reason! In any case, Zhang Suxing and Wen Jun are the heroes who pacified Moon Island this time. I can't do anything at this moment." Chai Jingyun sighed, "Zhang Suxing is a complicated official in Jingzhou. If there is a conflict between him and Wen Jun, I can intervene again, and then I can investigate the official management problem and completely solve the emperor's worries in Jingzhou."
"Young Master is very righteous." Lou Loulou's face was shocked, but he was still a little worried, "If Zhang Suxing deals with Young Master Duan, will it affect the trial implementation of the carrot and stick policy?"
Chai Jingyun's face froze when he heard this, and after a long time he said in a deep voice, "Loulou, if you don't need a few more capable people, you must help me keep an eye on Zhang Suxing, and there must be no mistakes."
…
A large boat several meters high was driving slowly on the Fushui River.
Flags were fluttering on the ship, soldiers were standing everywhere, and a solemn atmosphere arose spontaneously.
Looking at the outline of Moon Island in front of them, gradually appearing in the field of vision, everyone on the boat seemed a little excited.
The surrender of Moon Island was the result of everyone's hard work for a long time, and finally ended this serious problem in Lingxiao County.
Moreover, this was Dashun's first large-scale recruitment of bandits, involving thousands of people, which was of epoch-making significance.
Chai Jingyun stood at the bow of the boat, high-spirited.
Moon Island is the biggest bandit problem in Lingxiao County. If this problem can be solved fundamentally, Lingxiao County will be much more stable.
Not only can it scare some small bandits around, but it can also serve as a publicity for future recruitment.
The big ship moved forward, but within a moment, Duan Wenjun, who was standing behind Chai Jingyun, had already seen the situation on the island clearly.
On the shore, Zhao Dachui and a group of leaders had been waiting on the beach for a long time.
The bandits who usually looked ragged and listless were now in high spirits and lined up on both sides of the road in front of the village.
Behind them were clear flags and bright swords and guns, as if they were well-trained troops.
It seems that Zhao Dachui has been prepared for a long time. He led the brothers from Moon Island to show his best mental state.
The ship docked, and Zhao Dachui personally stepped forward and led a group of people to the island.
Duan Wenjun looked at him and saw that Zhao Dachui seemed much older after not seeing him for just half a month, with white hair appearing on his temples.
However, the tired look on his face has disappeared a lot, and now he is leading Chai Jingyun to the front with a smile on his face.
Entering the village gate, the central square was also tidied up.
The dark crowd stood on both sides, filling the whole square with people, old and young, old and young.
In the center of the crowd, there was also a group of village soldiers holding swords, guns, swords and halberds, separating a road.
The village soldiers were tall and tall, with straight backs, and they all looked mighty. Even Chai Jingyun couldn't help but nodded slightly when he saw them.
Zhao Dachui led Chai Jingyun to a high platform at the front of the crowd. Others followed and stood on both sides.
There were several big yellow flags on the high platform, with names written on them that Duan Wenjun didn't recognize. They should be some gods or other figures.
Under the yellow flag, there is another high desk with two spiritual tablets on it, with the names of Gui Feng and Wan Dingming written on them.
Under the desk is a huge incense burner, filled with incense candles and filled with incense.
After Chai Jingyun and Zhao Dachui reached an agreement on the conditions and directions for recruitment, the following details were communicated properly with the people on both sides, so everything went smoothly.
Chai Jingyun first followed Zhao Dachui to worship heaven and earth, and then took out the imperial edict and read it out.
Zhao Dachui held the Gufeng and Wan Dingming tablets on the table in his arms, and then led everyone to kneel down.
The imperial edict from Zhao Dachui was somewhat different from the imperial edict read out at Wanhua Tower that day.
I just hope that they will remember the emperor's kindness, change their minds and start a new life in the future.
Naturally, at the end of the imperial edict, Duan Wenjun paid five taels of silver as a guarantee fee for them and would become their guarantor. After seeing the effect, everyone on Moon Island paid their money to Duanjiabao.
After reading the imperial edict, everyone shouted long live. Zhao Dachui led everyone to stand up, and the recruitment ceremony was completed.
Although everything was kept simple, recruitment was a big deal after all, and it still took nearly two hours until everything was completed according to the process.
What Duan Wenjun dislikes the most is this kind of red tape.
However, it was definitely difficult for him to leave at this time, so he secretly moved to a corner and was about to doze off.
Just when he was bored, he heard Chai Jingyun calling him, "Wenjun, these people will be handed over to you from now on! Come on, come over and say a few words to everyone!"
Duan Wenjun was suddenly startled and woke up from his drowsiness.
