Chapter 290: Sure enough, I made money
Some days are gone, and Lu Fang at this time is full of dust, but his face is full of dust, but he is full of energy. But the man next to him, although he was also a strong man, seemed to be a little lonely.
At this time, Wu Song was already a dignified general and the commander of the new forbidden army, so Lu Fang naturally wanted to pay a salute. Wu Song's face was full of smiles, very kind, and asked, "Lu Fang, why are you here?" β
Lu Fangdao: "General Yu, it also happened that the villain had just sold medicinal materials from other places to return to Bianjing, passing by this Dongjia Town, and heard that the general commanded the army here, so he dared to ask to see!" Pointing to the man next to him, he said: "This name is Guo Sheng, a good brother newly made by the villain, and the villain vows to share blessings and hardships, so the villain is fortunate to meet the general, so he will bring him with him, please forgive the general!" β
When Wu Song heard that the person's name was Guo Sheng, his memory flashed, and he vaguely remembered the story of the Water Margin in his previous life.
Guo Sheng is a native of Jialing, Sichuan, and is a good envoy Fang Tianji, nicknamed "Sai Rengui", which means that he has won Xue Rengui in martial arts. Although this person is not particularly outstanding among the heroes of Liangshan, he ranks fifty-fifth among the one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan, which is also considered medium. Lu Fang is one place higher than him, and his ranking should be fifty-fourth.
Although the fifty-fourth and fifty-fifth are only the middle characters among the one hundred and eight generals, this is by no means to say that Lu Fang and Guo Sheng are not good. In fact, the martial arts of these two people are quite good, Lu Fang once killed Li Tianyou in fifty or sixty he, and Shi Bao, who can be called a first-class master, fought fifty hes to be timid, which can be regarded as a good fight. Lu Fang was even considered to be the second in martial arts among the seventy-two earthly demons, closely behind Sun Li.
Guo Sheng's martial arts are on par with Lu Fang, not much different. And according to legend, he is the ancestor of the hero Guo Jing.
Moreover, among the one hundred and eight generals in the Water Margin story in their previous lives, although they are not particularly brilliant, there is nothing to criticize. They were heroic and brave, Lu Fang died with the enemy, and Guo Sheng also died on the battlefield. Therefore, both of them are truly good men.
Wu Song immediately moved his heart to recruit these two people into the new forbidden army.
If he wants to build the New Forbidden Army into the first army of the Great Song Dynasty and the most powerful army of this era, he is bound to recruit a large number of the best generals of this era. Naturally, among the one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan in his memory, the vast majority of them are the talents he wants to recruit. Of course, there are some of them that Wu Song doesn't like. But on the whole, each of the 100 single and eight generals has extraordinary features, and they are all needed for a brave army.
Since he moved the idea of solicitation, Wu Song's attitude towards Lu Fang and Guo Sheng became more and more easy-going, and said, "Do you just want to come and see me?" β
Lu Fang hurriedly said: "No. I also wanted to come to the general and return the money to the general! β
It turned out that Lu Fang was in the medicinal herb business that day, and he wanted to buy a big pharmacy in Bianjingli, and the funds were very tight, so Wu Song lent him money and made it clear that he had two points of interest. At this time, Wu Song, of course, was not short of money, and he was about to lead his troops to fight, so how could he have the heart to pay attention to this kind of thing. However, he became interested in Lu Fang's business situation.
Because, in the story of the Water Margin in the previous life, Lu Fang should have sold medicinal materials and lost all his money, so he was forced to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, became a robber, and later went to Liangshan.
Guo Sheng seems to be also engaged in mercury trading, but the boat capsized in the Yellow River and he couldn't return to his hometown, so he went up the mountain and fell into the grass.
In other words, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were both two people who went up to the mountain to rebel at a loss in business among the one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan in their previous lives. They did not belong to the peasants, nor did they belong to the people who rebelled from the bureaucratic and barracks system of the Northern Song Dynasty, but a special group of small and medium-sized merchants in the Liangshan rebel group.
Wu Song saw that Lu Fang offered to pay back his money, so he asked Lu Fang if he had made money in business. Lu Fang's face was suddenly full of gratitude, and he said to Wu Song: "This is thanks to the general." Thanks to the general's willingness to lend me the capital that day, and instructed me not to go to Shandong. I listened to the general's words and went to the south to sell medicinal herbs, and although I made less money than I went to Shandong, I still made some money. β
Pointing at Guo Sheng, he said: "The general told me that there were many bandits in Shandong. Guo Sheng's brother sold mercury and went to Shandong, and sure enough, he encountered bandits, and in order to escape for his life, he eagerly rushed to cross the Yellow River, but the boat overturned in the Yellow River, and he had no return, so he had to come to the capital to join his relatives, and he just met me. If I hadn't listened to the general's words that day and also sold medicinal herbs to Shandong, I'm afraid I would have been the same as Brother Guo Sheng. So, really thanks to the general! β
As he spoke, Lu Yi took out two silver tickets from his arms, handed them to Wu Song, and said, "This one is to repay the general's capital, and one is to repay the general's interest!" β
Wu Song didn't accept the silver ticket, just looked at Lu Fang and smiled.
Lu Fang said: "Generalγγγγγγγ Isn't there too few generals? But we said it was two cents on the dayγγγγγγ β
The generals of the Great Song Dynasty were famous for their skillful seizure, oppression and exploitation, and Lu Fang was only worried that Wu Song was also such a person. But seeing Wu Song smiled: "You can keep this money for the time being, but I will continue to invest in you at that time!" β
Lu Fang was overjoyed. He sold medicinal herbs to the south this time, although he made some money, but the south was not very peaceful, he also suffered a lot, went through hardships and dangers, but did not earn much. If Wu Song repays the principal and interest, his funds are actually really a little tight. What's more, Guo Sheng is now bloodless, and he still has the heart to help Guo Sheng.
If Wu Song is willing to continue to lend him the principal and interest, it will naturally be a surprise.
Lu Fang immediately said: "When it's time, the villain thanked the general again." The general can rest assured, the villain must work harder to make money, so that the general can earn more! β
Wu Song said with a smile: "Making money is naturally the better." You say you want to earn more, so how much more? β
Lu Fang said: "This γγγγγγγ β
Wu Song said: "Are you still willing to listen to me?" If you are willing to listen to me, you can indeed earn more! β
When Lu Fang heard this, he was another surprise, and hurriedly said: "The villain went to the south to sell medicinal materials this time, just listened to the general's words. The general's golden and jade words, the villain has no reason not to listen! β
Wu Song said: "That's good. This time, you are still selling medicinal herbs, but don't go to the south, go to Shandong instead! Didn't you say earlier that Shandong is in urgent need of medicinal herbs? If you sell medicinal herbs to Shandong this time, won't you definitely make more money? β
Lu Fang was overjoyed at first, and then hesitated: "However, the general clearly said that Shandong is too chaoticγγγγγγ β
At this time, Guo Sheng, who was a bystander, hurriedly reminded Lu Fangdao: "Brother is confused. Have you forgotten that the general is going to lead his troops in the direction of Shandong? There is an army of generals, not to mention selling medicinal materials, brothers, even if they are carrying a cart of gold, who dares to make up their minds? β
As a businessman, Lu Fang's mind is not stupid, just now the incident suddenly did not turn a corner. Hearing Guo Sheng say this, he was overjoyed and said to Wu Song: "But with the general's guidance!" β
