Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

When the group of people arrived at the gate of the camp, they saw that the refugees had blocked the gate tightly.

Li Ke, on the other hand, was slowly retreating with the soldiers.

Chu Mo fully believed that if he had come a little later, these people would probably rush into the camp.

He kicked Li Ke, who had his back to him, until he was chewed in the mud. Chu Mo held up a long knife and chopped down an old man who had already entered the camp with one foot, shocking everyone.

Then he shouted: "What the hell, it's so early in the morning and you can't even let anyone get a good sleep?"

"You bastards, do you think the knives in our hands are just decorations and can't cut you anymore?"

"Do you know what is the crime of rushing into the military camp? If I hadn't believed in Buddhism, believe it or not, I would have killed all of you bastards today."

After saying that, he took a step forward with the long knife still dripping blood.

Although the refugees outside the door had seen countless killings along the way, they could not help but feel timid when they were faced with an officer and an officer who had murderous intentions towards them, and they began to retreat one after another, fearing that they would step in. The old man's footsteps.

Seeing that the situation was about to be controlled by Chu Mo, at this time, a sharp voice came from the crowd:

"Master, we really have no way to survive. As an official of the imperial court, and you have brought countless grains, shouldn't you give us some relief?"

As soon as these words came out, the refugees' eyes instantly lit up.

However, before they could make any move, Chu Mo pointed the knife in the direction where he had just spoken, and said to the ten bandits behind him:

"That place, the target, the person who just shouted, if there is any obstruction, he will be killed without mercy."

Anyone who can become a bandit in this troubled world and dare to rob Chu Mo in broad daylight is either a fool or has a weak head.

After hearing what Chu Mo said, without saying a word, he rushed out waving the wooden thorn in his hand.

They kept Chu Mo's words firmly in mind. The more people they killed, the richer the rewards they would get.

As a result, the old, weak, women and children who stood in front of them suddenly suffered.

After a burst of screaming, howling, and chaos, a large area emptied out at the entrance of the camp, leaving only a few emaciated corpses.

The bandits were rampaging all the way, and no one dared to step forward to stop them. They quickly rushed to the position designated by Chu Mo.

However, because he didn’t know who the person who just spoke was, and the boss didn’t explain whether they were going to die or live.

Therefore, the bandits didn't even say a word, they just carried wooden thorns and killed everyone they saw.

Although some refugees rose up to resist, the crowd was already in chaos. As soon as some people raised their hands, they were rushed by the people around them, making it impossible to form an effective counterattack.

On the other hand, the bandits were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and most of the refugees did not dare to resist at all.

It's not that they can't defeat these people, it's mainly because they look at the soldiers behind them wearing helmets and armor and holding bright long swords. Any personal bravery will only be converted into motivation for their own escape.

The most important thing is that those bandits directly regard those who dare to resist, or want to resist, as their primary targets to kill, and directly deal with them ruthlessly.

Soon, the refugees who had gathered near the camp were frightened by the killings of these ten bandits. They all dispersed and ran away.

As for the person Chu Mo wanted to shout, naturally he was not caught.

However, Chu Mo didn't care at all. His original intention was not to be the one who shouted. What he wanted to do was to find an excuse to give these ten bandits a reason to take action.

Looking at the dozens of corpses lying scattered on the ground, Yang Hongyu couldn't bear to turn her head to the side.

Although he felt unhappy, he didn't blame Chu Mo.

Because she knew that if these refugees were not deterred today, they would be in constant trouble in the future.

After giving Chu Mo a hard look, he rode Xiao Hong away.

Chu Mo, who was disliked by his wife, rubbed his temples and asked Li Ke to stay and clean up the mess after counting the number of casualties among the lowly people.

He took the ten blood-stained bandits back to the camp.

A total of 47 refugees were killed this time, which is equivalent to each of them killing 5 people.

After Chu Mo gave them rations according to the previous agreement, he organized them into a sharp knife team and temporarily let the accompanying secret guards take charge of the management.

After this battle, the refugees on the road no longer followed Chu Mo's team directly as before, but only followed from a distance.

And Yang Hongyu never stepped out of the motorcade again from that day on.

Chu Mo expressed great satisfaction with this.

After all, less trouble makes your life easier.

Although Chu Mo's migration team was huge and was followed by countless refugees along the way, the imperial court had notified officials at all levels along the road and sent Zhang San, Li Si and others to open the way in advance.

Therefore, despite the slow speed, it did not cause too much trouble.

Moreover, the further south they go, the lower the degree of frost damage there is. Gradually, the number of refugees following them is also slowly decreasing.

Just when everyone thought there would be no more accidents along the way, an accident happened.

After Li Shimin returned to Chang'an day and night, he learned what happened.

Although half of Li Chengqian's actions were his intentional indulgence, most of them were caused by Li Chengqian being deceived by others and he brought the blame on himself.

But no matter what, he is also the current prince and Li Shimin's son. There is no way that someone could have his legs broken and then leave with a slap on the butt. He would just ignore it, right?

Therefore, Li Shimin first issued an order to reprimand Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji, and after banning them, he began to appease the merchants in Chang'an.

Since Chu Mo left Chang'an, the merchants seemed to have lost their backbone and began to move away from Chang'an.

As a result, there are now only ten shops open for business in Chang'an.

And those small merchants and hawkers, because of the previous series of turmoil, would rather set up stalls outside the city than dare to step into the city again.

Li Shimin was so angry that his eyes were about to burst, but his son's legs were broken, and Chu Mo, the culprit, had already run away.

The only thing he could do now was to wipe away his tears, swallow his teeth, and try to comfort them.

As a result, a series of business-friendly policies were introduced again.

First of all, the imperial court gave the merchants affected this time a one-year tax-free compensation if they continued to do business in Chang'an City. If they no longer continued to do business in Chang'an, they would no longer enjoy tax-free compensation.

In addition, Li Shimin allocated another 100 million taels of silver to repair the damaged shops and warehouses, and prepared a gift for each merchant to express his apology.
