The results of the battle in the dense forest outside Jinyang City soon reached the ears of those who cared about it.

Xu Fusheng and Xingchen Firm became famous on the Green Forest Road.

The battle situation of that day was secretly compiled into various versions by people with good intentions and circulated everywhere.

Many bigwigs began to re-evaluate the weight of Xu Fusheng and this star firm again.

Being able to recruit 200 soldiers to help fight the disputes in the rivers and lakes shows that this star merchant also has a certain amount of energy in the dynasty military.

It's just that the two parties have a surprisingly tacit understanding about the outcome of this matter and are tight-lipped about it.

It wasn't until a week later that another piece of news spread throughout the Green Forest Road, and the fog was lifted.

The time goes back to three days ago.

Luzhou Mansion, a single house.

The ancient trees are gloomy, the buildings are cloudy, the courtyard is neat in scale, the green willows linger, and the birds are dense. The small bridge crosses, and the scenery is quiet.

From the layout of the courtyard, it can be seen that the owner of this room is not a wealthy family, but also a famous family.

In one of the rooms in the courtyard.

In the mahogany chair, the first person has a green robe with big sleeves, a purple wood hairpin pinned to a bun, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and eyes are attentive.

It's not handsome, but it doesn't have a rough and heroic taste.

On the left side, a young man in a green shirt, elegant and handsome, sat upright.

Behind him stood a tall, handsome man in his twentieth and sixteenth year, and a pretty-looking and somewhat beneficial-looking man.

On the lower right, a middle-aged man with obvious scars on his face.

The first three people on the left are naturally Xu Fusheng and Lin Bad, who came to visit Second Brother Shan, and the one sitting on the right is Shan Jiuye.

Two days ago, after receiving a notice from Shan Jiuye inviting him to visit Second Brother Shan, Xu Fusheng came with the two of them non-stop.

The second brother in the first place is not the same as described in the books of his previous life, he is not a blue-faced grimace at all, and his face is like a spirit official.

On the contrary, from Xu Fusheng's aesthetic point of view.

Second Brother Shan was also a handsome uncle with a huge fortune in his previous life, at least he was a little more handsome than Ma's father.

I saw that the man above was the first to speak up and said politely:

"I heard Lao Jiu say that I recently met a very good young hero.

When I saw it today, the son was magnificent, elegant and graceful, and his bearing was really extraordinary, which was more brilliant than what Lao Jiu said. ”

Second Brother Shan's voice is like his own, rough and heroic, but the decibels are moderate, even if it is a slightly polite greeting, it is extremely comfortable to listen to.

Of course, some words can't be taken too seriously, and they pay attention to mutual praise on any occasion, Xu Fusheng naturally understands the truth.

Then he got up to salute, bowed his hand, and responded loudly: "The second master has won the award."

In the next is the prestige of the second master of the long curtain, and he has long wanted to come to visit, but he has not been able to get out.

Today, with the light of the ninth master, I finally saw that this trip was worthwhile. ”

Although Xu Fusheng's words were also compliments, they were not false.

In his heart, he really wanted to come and visit this second brother Shan, so as to confirm his impression of his previous life.

"I heard what Lao Jiu said about the day before yesterday, I don't know what Xu Gongzi meant.

Shan is not talented, and every time friends in the rivers and lakes cheer up, he is famous.

It's just that Shan has always been quick to talk and hide no privacy in his words, so he asked bluntly and asked for details, and he also hoped for Gongzi Haihan. ”

Although Shan Tong looks rough, what he says is polite and orderly, and he knows at a glance that he is a person who reads poetry and books.

speaks so straightforwardly, and it is not offensive, and it is not in vain for so many years.

Xu Fusheng secretly paid attention to Shan Tong's sitting posture, dressed up, curious, but did not show any clues on his face. Enthusiastic and loud responded:

"Although the people below are soft-spoken, they are also dignified seven-foot men, and it is the purpose of our generation to do what they say.

If the second master does not believe it, he can now make a document, and if he has half a lie, he is willing to give up all the business under his name. ”

"Childe is serious.

The big husband, in a word, the horse is difficult to chase. Why use paperwork to make outsiders laugh.

Since the son is so refreshing, Shan Mou took his brother to thank him first. ”

Shan Tong got up, laughed heartily, and did not forget to bow his hand.

immediately looked at Shan Jiu: "Old Jiu, you haven't thanked Xu Gongzi for his generosity."

It's rare that the son is broad-minded and doesn't care about you in general. ”

Shan Jiu found that he still looked down on the young man opposite.

Seeing people sitting in chairs, in terms of bearing, they do not lose their two brothers.

On conversation, neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous.

Such a sure deal to make a fortune is an understatement to himself.

He is still suspicious, and for this alone, he has fallen behind.

A character indeed!

got up immediately, and sincerely thanked him: "Xu Gongzi is elegant, Shan Jiu admires."

In the future, if the business that Xu Gongzi touches, Shan Jiu will never touch it again. ”

Xu Fusheng hurriedly got up and avoided Shan Jiu's salute.

said calmly and calmly: "The ninth master is serious, and in the future, I will rely on you and the second master to take care of it, and it is reasonable for everyone to earn money together." ”

"Hahahaha, it's so rich that everyone earns it together.

Lao Jiu, listen, this is the courage of a person who does great things. Xu Gongzi, please take a seat. ”

The single-pass sound is obviously much closer than just now, and it is very warm.

"But..."Xu Fusheng paused, waiting until Shan Jiu and Shan Tong both looked at him with questioning expressions.

continued: "In the next time I come here, in addition to the ninth master, there is another business I want to do with the second master. It's just..."

Speaking of just, he stopped, obviously inconvenient to say more.

Shan Tonghu asked: "Just what? Xu Gongzi can just say it bluntly, and there is no need to have any scruples." ”

"It's just that the next business is really not good for outsiders, so it's because..."

Xu Fusheng paused, and said a little embarrassed:

"There is a reluctant invitation below, of course, I really admire the demeanor of the two masters.

If you want to climb high, you want to marry the second master and the ninth master as brothers with different surnames, I don't know if the two are willing to give in?"

Lin Bad's sister and brother suddenly opened their mouths wide, how could their son think that one thing was one thing.

I didn't say a few words, and I wanted to be a brother with Shan Erye?

Besides, you don't know how many years apart you are, and the generations of the rivers and lakes are also separated by a few layers, and suddenly come to such a trick, can people agree...

Shan Tong, who sat at the top, was also a little stunned, and this kind of thing was no stranger to him.

The heroes of the rivers and lakes are cool and profitable, and it is also common to worship.

It's just that although this Xu Fusheng is also a young hero, when he meets for the first time, he bluntly says goodbye, which is a bit hasty.

But I remembered that the other party had just reached an agreement with Lao Jiu regardless of his previous suspicions.

refused, which inevitably seemed a little unkind.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say:

"Lao Jiu, since Xu Gongzi has this intention, why don't you two bow up? In this way, everyone will be a family. ”

Xu Fusheng pretended to nod happily and said, "Then climb the Ninth Master!"

Shan Jiu already had a good impression of Xu Fusheng just now, and now that he was ordered by the second brother, he didn't dare not slack off.

said politely: "Childe is polite, it is an honor to be a brother of the opposite sex with Childe." ”

Then he ordered everyone to set up an incense table, and prepare a thing to worship.

Everyone sat idly in the room, only to hear Xu Fusheng pick up the preface:

"This business involves a lot, and the younger brother didn't dare to say it bluntly just now.

Now that they are a family, they will tell each other bluntly.

I now have a messenger in my hand, and I can find a way out for the brothers in the rivers and lakes, and I can also benefit the people. ”

Speaking of this, Shan Tong listened attentively, Xu Fusheng used this to satisfy his appetite just now.

Xu Fusheng had intended to hang him, but he lowered his voice more and more, and said calmly:

"There are a lot of official titles in the army, although there is no official position above the fourth rank, but the fourth rank or less can be decided in a word. ”

"Ah, there is such a good thing?" Shan Tong couldn't help but exclaim, and the two horizontal eyebrows suddenly stood up.

"At present, the Guogong is expanding his army in Taiyuan, and there are many vacancies in the army.

This is also the reason why the brothers in the rivers and lakes can find a way out. ”

In this era, there is an official in his body, which is a matter of glory for several generations.

Don't look at those green forests, heroes gather in the mountains and forests, and they are free.

As long as there is a way out to glorify their ancestors, they are more active than anyone else.

Xu Fusheng knew the trick and continued:

"It's just that this matter is inconvenient to spread out, and it needs a well-known person in the rivers and lakes to preside over the overall situation.

It was just under the next step to invite the second master to preside.

In addition, there are many livelihoods that benefit people's livelihoods, and a large number of people are also needed to do it.

Therefore, Fang wants to climb high, wants to worship with the two masters, and conspires to do great things. ”

Xu Fusheng said leisurely sipping tea.

Shan Tong couldn't sit still anymore, he didn't want to bow to others just now, and as soon as the news came out at this moment, his mind suddenly turned.

If nothing else, if you can find a way out for your own brothers.

In the rivers and lakes, wouldn't my reputation alone be even higher?

At the moment, I couldn't help but say:

"If this is the case, Gongzi Xu will allow me and the two virtuous brothers to kneel and worship the heavens later. ”

Xu Fusheng smiled proudly, there are times when you can't help it.

The word fame and fortune, he has not seen anyone who can investigate it so far, and he does not agree to Shan Xiongxin.

The world has tasted that if you are not afraid that he has many ideas, you are afraid that he has no ideas.

Lin Bad was dumbfounded, he was still politely refusing just now, but now he took the initiative to join, this change, tsk...

Only Lin Huiyu smiled thoughtfully.

A single family worships and is very particular!

Set up incense tables and incense burners. Blood dripped into the wine, the name was written on yellow paper, and incense was burned to worship the sky. Then bow down to Bingxiang and say goodbye to heaven:

Today, I have a single pass, a single tiger brother and Xu Fusheng are allied by blood, and they are brothers of the opposite sex.

From now on, the three of us will share good fortune and evil, help each other in adversity, if there is a different heart, the gods will learn together!

After drinking the blood wine in the cup, the wine glass fell to the ground.

Xu Fusheng is not very accustomed to the drama of the rivers and lakes, but the two of them are familiar with it.

The three of them got up, their attitudes were no better than before, and they were obviously intimate.

I saw Shan Xiongxin casually beckoning a small servant, and said in front of Xu Fusheng:

Draw a portrait for Xu Gongzi, and take my arrow to pass on to the brothers of the thirteen provinces.

Now there is a righteous brother Xu Fusheng, and in the future, all the convoys related to the Xingchen business, the brothers on the road will not be allowed to loot.

However, those who violate the order will be dealt with according to the rules.

Xu Fusheng naturally thanked him, and he finally achieved his wish.

Just listen to the single affectionate Tao:

"Third brother, you stay in Luzhou Mansion for a few more days, you and my brother can drink for three days, and then I will arrange for someone to take you around. ”

"The younger brother has this intention, and now that the elder brother has a life, he dare not obey. ”

Xu Fusheng understands that the next step is the main event, and many business matters must be discussed and understood in the next few days, and he is not in a hurry to leave.

In the next few days, everyone was in the room for all kinds of secret discussions.

Many of the details of how to operate and how to distribute business profits must be discussed in advance.

Eventually, the agreement was finalized and the document was completed.

Except for the silver obtained from the sale of officials, both were delivered to the state government.

Other businesses that require a large number of manpower, such as building rivers and dams, selling grain, etc.

Xu Fusheng holds a share in his personal name, and the two brothers of the single family contribute to hold a number of shares, and the remaining shares are reserved for backup.

Leave it to some big people and brothers in various families, so that everyone can get wet with rain and dew, and business can quickly get on the right track.

Explaining the truth to the brothers of the single family, it naturally took Xu Fusheng a lot of words.

Fortunately, both brothers in the single family are sensible people. There are a lot of truths, Xu Fusheng can be thoroughly understood.

The situation is all happy.

A few days after the distribution of the spoils was completed, Xu Fusheng offered his resignation.

After a few days of getting along, the relationship between the three of them was not the same, so they almost slept together and talked all night.

Before leaving, the more reluctant he is.

Even Xu Fusheng, a person who has never been bound by feelings, is quite reluctant, but at the beginning of the overall situation, there are still many things to do, so he can only reluctantly resign.

But before leaving, he still had a few words to tell Shan Xiongxin.

After a few days of getting along, I found that Shan Tong was indeed a character worth befriending.

Although it is not quite the same as the Shan Xiongxin described in the book of the previous life, in terms of righteousness and thin clouds, it makes Xu Fusheng sigh that he can't catch up with the horse.

It was a worried instruction: "Second brother, the younger brother is going to say goodbye, and I don't know when I will see you again."

There are a few words to listen to with the second brother, and the second brother should remember!"

looked at Shan Xiongxin and nodded. Xu Fusheng continued:

"Second brother, if there are troubled times, don't rebel lightly.

Even if the flag is pulled, it is necessary to firmly grasp the military power.

Moreover, in the future, if any Taoist priest approaches you, he will not stay!

The second brother should remember what the younger brother instructed. ”

"Why did the third brother say this!" asked Shan Tong suspiciously.

Xu Fusheng couldn't explain too much, and said earnestly:

"Second brother, younger brother has cultivated since childhood, and some of the future things can be seen. But the heavens must not be revealed.

The second brother can remember the words of the younger brother today.

It's best if nothing happens, once something happens, I hope the second brother will remember today's words. ”

Shan Tong saw that Xu Fusheng said solemnly, and after getting along for a few days, he also knew that his third brother had a calmness that was not like his peers.

Generally speaking, there is no such emphasis on one thing, and now it has been repeatedly instructed for its own reasons.

Then he nodded and said, "Second brother remembers! Third brother, take care all the way!"

Walking out of the single house, Lin Bad was like having a big dream.

He followed Xu Fusheng for a few moments.

Childe actually squeezed directly into a circle that outsiders couldn't squeeze into for a lifetime with his own strength.

This made him wonder a little, this world has become so magical...

"I knew that Childe was powerful, but I never thought that someone could be so powerful. Lin Bad couldn't help but sigh:

Lin Huiyu also showed a look of admiration.

This Xu Gongzi is really a genius.

To be a person and to do things, it is all about being decisive, without dragging the mud and water. When it is time to give up, Tianda interests can also be resolutely given up.

When it is time to fight, it is necessary to fight for every inch of land, and it is necessary to repay the ruthlessness and show no mercy.

Such a complex character, but there is no conflict in him, which can be seen.

Now it seems that the choice of his sister and brother should be right.

"Childe, how did you give up so many benefits to others?"

Lin Bad asked curiously, he was really curious why Xu Fusheng was so generous.

There are some truths that the world understands, but not everyone can do it.

Xu Fusheng smiled: "If you have seen a lot and experienced a lot, you will know that doing business is actually a circle."

A lot of people are crawling and rolling, and they have not entered the door, because they don't know how to put what should be put and what should be united.

The business and money in the world cannot all be obtained by one person, even the emperor Lao Tzu.

Besides, there are many things that can only be obtained if you give up, and you can only get them back if you are willing to give them up.

Everything is nothing more than an exchange.

After a long time, the exchange has been for a long time, and a fixed circle of interests has slowly formed.

Many people are afraid to talk about the circle of interests, some are disdainful, some are envious, and some think that Zhong Lingyu is beautiful.

In fact, it is not so mysterious, whether it is a businessman, a scholar, or an official, they all gather like things, and people are grouped.

These people are together, make friends and call for the party, and they are also circles.

The second brother orders together on the rivers and lakes, and he can gather thousands of people, which is also a circle.

These circles, to put it bluntly, are all circles of interests, which seem to be where righteousness lies.

In fact, behind the fellowship of righteousness is to get what each has its place, and the people in the circle exchange, not only to earn friendship, but also to win benefits.

Righteousness produces profit, and profit and righteousness are so stable. No circle can survive on righteousness alone. ”

Xu Fusheng's words made Lin Bad and Lin Huiyu fall into contemplation at the same time.

What is the experience that makes a person look at the world, so realistic and affectionate.

In this era, they don't fully agree with Xu Fusheng's words, but they just don't know how to refute them.

Since then, the three of them have been silently walking in the direction of Jinyang City...
