Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Fang Zheng felt relieved.
It turns out that it is easy to fool people when they gather together, especially when these people are illiterate and cannot read a single word.
Instinctively, one will feel a sense of submission and trust towards officials and scholars.
Fang Zhengyi picked up the loudspeaker again and shouted, "Now, brothers of the Iron Clothes Cult, line up and listen to my commands!"
"Stand at attention~~"
"Look to the right~ Qi!"
With a loud noise, a large group of people stood at attention and looked to the right at the same time.
Some people could not tell left from right, or did not obey commands, and seeing that everyone else was doing the same, they had no choice but to follow suit.
Although their movements were not uniform, at least they were obedient enough.
"Everyone has it! Automatic alignment!"
Fang Zheng recalled how the instructor had taught him during military training. He originally wanted to shout "At ease", but he guessed that no one would understand him, so he didn't.
The Ironclad Cult members began to adjust themselves in an orderly manner.
The originally chaotic crowd began to develop spontaneous order due to the emergence of a leader.
Horizontal rows with insufficient number of people will automatically move forward to fill the gap.
After just a few minutes, the crowd had basically lined up in an orderly manner.
Although it has not reached the standards of military training, it is similar to the formations in school sports meets.
Nie Zheng looked at the square team, then looked at Fang Zhengyi, and his eyes twitched twice.
This guy is fucking handsome!
It was clear that he just showed that he doesn't even have the common sense to fight a war.
This... these two cups of tea are arranged like this? No wonder His Majesty is so concerned... What a monster!
"Very good! From now on you are members of the Free Church!"
"From now on, we will all have the same clothes to wear, the same bed to sleep in, and the same food to eat!"
"Not only will you live a good life, I promise you! Your children will also be able to go to school in the future!"
There was an automatic burst of applause from below.
Everyone's face is filled with beautiful expectations for the future, and this is how their life will be.
If children can go to school, won’t they have a superior future?
"Everyone, stand still and wait for your arrangements. Someone will come to help you with your future work assignments. Tell him your specialties."
"You can do carpentry, ironwork, weaving bamboo baskets, whatever you can do, just tell him everything!"
After saying that, Fang Zheng climbed down the ladder and rode towards Shen Zhaoxuan.
"Go, take people to group them and record them now, and we will make arrangements slowly later."
Shen Zhaoxuan's face was full of excitement. He didn't expect that the master hadn't done this job for so many years, but his skills were still as good as before.
"yes!"
Shen Zhaoxuan responded and took a group of people who had prepared in advance, holding paper and pen, to register the members of the Iron Armor Sect.
Afterwards, Fang Zheng rode towards Nie Zheng and saw him looking at him warily. He couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's wrong, Lord Nie?"
Hearing him ask this, Nie Zheng was speechless for a moment.
After a long while, he managed to utter: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Please stay, sir. When the prefect's position is vacant, I will take over temporarily. I will also report Liu Xun's matter to Your Majesty."
"In addition, in a few days, I will be executing Liu Xun and other corrupt officials in public. I hope you will not be suspicious then."
Nie Zheng looked into Fang Zhengyi's eyes and saw that he didn't show any fear at all. In fact, he already believed it in his heart.
He could only helplessly say: "Well, since His Majesty has granted you the Imperial Sword, once my men have found out the situation in the granary, you will naturally have the right to execute Liu Xun."
"you..."
Nie Zheng seemed to be hesitant to speak. He glanced at the Ironclad followers below, hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter must be reported to His Majesty. I understand that you are very busy right now, so I will give you one month to report all the events in Jianjiang to His Majesty. As long as you don't rebel, you can do whatever you want!"
After saying this, he rode away with his soldiers.
Fang Zheng scratched his head when he heard this.
Why should I rebel? Do you think my life is too long because you have nothing better to do?
.............
That night, inside the houseboat.
Fang Zheng and his companions sat around a large table, which was filled with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea.
Everyone's face was filled with joy.
Fang Zheng stood up and said, "Brothers, we are the only ones left now. This matter has come to an end for the time being. Thank you for your hard work during this period. Let's have a big meal tonight and we can talk about it while we eat."
Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate and started eating and drinking.
Fang Zhengyi sat there and looked at them with a smile. It had been a long time since they had such a gathering.
Shen Zhaoxuan drank a glass of wine and walked over with a notebook.
"Master, today we have counted the number of people from the Iron Cloth Sect and us."
"There are indeed many carpenters, blacksmiths, bamboo craftsmen, etc., but what about those who are lazy? There is no way to arrange for them in the future."
Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "It's good to slack off. Slacking off is also considered a skill!"
How many anglers come up empty-handed every day, trying their best to catch nothing!
It takes a lot of skill to be able to catch the fish!
As he flipped through the pages, Fang Zheng frowned and pointed at the words on the notebook, saying, "What's going on with this idleness? Even including those who slack off, how come there are still hundreds of people who can do nothing?"
"This..." Shen Zhaoxuan was embarrassed, "Then they just don't know anything! We asked them no matter how hard we tried, but we couldn't get any information. I guess they are just some idle people in the village who can't even speak clearly."
"Then I can't do anything but write about doing nothing..."
"Ah..." Fang Zhengyi shook his head helplessly.
"All these things will be reported to His Majesty in the future. If hundreds of people under my rule do nothing, wouldn't I be considered incompetent? How will His Majesty view me in the future?"
