The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

The Xu family, as a warlord-level family with a population of tens of thousands and thousands of strong men, is indeed afraid of Tartars, but they are not afraid of bandits.

The reason for colluding with the Luo Dao people is mainly because, when he cannot be completely killed, the price paid for being repeatedly harassed by the bandits is higher than the dozens of stones of grain and more than 100 pieces of clothing every year.

In addition, fighting bandits' dens, the expected income is also insufficient, and the sacrifices that may be paid are not small, so everyone has little motivation.

After all, in this era, the bandits are indeed not the days of "drinking in a big bowl, eating meat, and dividing gold and silver in a big scale" in the Water Margin.

If the life of the bandits was really so comfortable, why would the Luo Dao people be bought with dozens of stones of grain every year?

Well, maybe Luo Daoren and a few leaders of the cottage can mix some good things, and the rest, the robber Ding Zhuang and the bandits can also be counted as some kind of loot, and then ......, and then there will be no more.

Therefore, there is no need to expect anything good to be seized from the bandits, and there will probably be a loss on food.

However, Xu Shiyang has a different view.

In other words, his foothold is different from the rest of the Xu family.

For Xu Shiyang, a few thousand Ding Zhuang will play a very important role in the possible revenge of the Jurchen Tartars in the next few years, and this point is worth the ticket price.

Of course, you can't say this to anyone else, because it will cause unnecessary panic.

So, what he just pointed out was the other benefits that could be gained by eliminating the Luo Dao people - expanding the area of cultivated land owned by the family, and at the same time opening an additional base in the Floating Mountain.

As long as the bandits on Fulai Mountain are eliminated, the family will not have to be rigid and strictly control the number of people in each dock fort in the future, and if there are more than 500 dingkou, they will have to find a way to divide some people to build a new dock fort.

In the future, the population that can be supported by the dock fort will be much more than it is now, and the strength of each dock fort will naturally be much stronger than it is now.

Not building a new fort or less is a bad sign for those who haven't been able to get the castle owner position, but it's a good thing for those who already have control of a village.

And all of you who are currently doing it are all castle masters.

When it comes to self-interest, it is not difficult to understand this kind of thing, especially for those foreign surname castle owners whose descendants do not have the right to inherit the castle, and it is a very practical benefit to expand the existing rights as much as possible.

In layman's terms, Wubao is ultimately owned by the Xu family, and they need to take advantage of the lack of manpower of the Xu family, who can now take charge of themselves, to get as many benefits as possible for themselves.

Now, regardless of faction, all the castle lords with foreign surnames are looking at the three masters sitting at the head with eager eyes.

Especially Luan Tingyu and Sun Li, who have some confidence in their own skills, are all a little eager to try.

"If you can break down the bandits' walls, I think you can give it a try."

徐世松 says:

"It's just, how to distribute the land and seizures of Fulai Mountain?"

Xu Shisong is the most belligerent person in the entire Xu family, except for Xu Shiyang, there is no one. When he heard that his third brother took the initiative to attack the Tartars and won, his heart was also hot, and he wanted to try it very, very much.

When Xu Shiyang promised to give him a war horse, the idea of fighting could not be suppressed.

'It's all the sons of the Xu family, if the third brother can do it, I can do it too!' ’

Now that there are no Tartars, it is not impossible to retreat to the next best thing and fight the strongest bandits near Juzhou.

In fact, there are other reasons why Xu Shisong is belligerent - he is about to get married, and his fiancée is a local wealthy family near Rizhao County, which can be regarded as a family member of the Xu family.

However, as a man, Xu Shisong really didn't want that what he could give his future wife was given by others - dock forts, subordinates, and good war horses.

He hopes that when he goes to propose marriage in the spring of next year, he can send some good things to the Yue family that he has earned and can take.

Perhaps, these good things are now in the warehouse of the Rodao people's cottage?

"Big brother, we are all a family, and it would be a shame to say this." Xu Shiyang replied with a smile: "How about dividing all the spoils of war equally according to the number of troops dispatched?" ”

"Didn't you suffer then? You're going to take on the most dangerous wall-building mission. ”

"For the sake of our Xu family, what is it if I suffer a loss?"

The two brothers were humble for the loot that had not yet arrived, as if the bandits' cottage had been conquered, and Xu Mujiang and Xu Muhe, who were at the top, glanced at each other, with a helpless expression on their faces.

Of all the castle owners, they are probably the ones they don't want to fight, as they both have minor sons who need a new dock fort to live in the future.

Of course, you can also choose to deprive the dock fort assigned to a foreign surname, but you need to take a lot of risk to do so.

However, in this situation in the lobby now, all the foreign surname castle owners obviously want to fight, among the castle owners surnamed Xu, Xu Shisong and Xu Shiyang, not to mention, Xu Shibai wants to oppose it, but he must consider the feelings of the two uncles, not to mention, Xu Shibai is also the castle master, and expanding the power of the castle lord is also good for him.

In this way, except for the three masters, the other castle owners all have the intention of fighting, and the three of them are a little isolated.

"Let's talk about the next topic first."

In the end, it was Xu Shiyang's father Xu Muhe who stepped forward to change the topic:

"Fighting a war is not so easy, whether to fight or not, if you want to fight, how to fight, it is not something that can be decided in an instant, this matter can be discussed later, and there is no hurry."

"Second uncle! There is no hurry to fight! ”

Dad spoke, Xu Shiyang naturally couldn't say anything.

But at this time, Xu Shisong, who had already made up his mind, immediately stood up, and then shouted loudly:

"Otherwise, don't fight, continue to endure that dog P Luo Dao people riding on the head of our Xu family, or fight early, fight, take advantage of the autumn harvest now, we have food in our hands, quickly kill him!"

Seeing that the war against bandits was a foregone conclusion, and the weakest link among the three masters, Xu Muhai whispered: "I also think so, either I won't fight, or I will fight quickly, and we will live in peace after the fight." ”

Xu Muhai has no ambitions, he has never been admitted to the Jinshi, but because his young son is more favored, he inherited the family property of 3 dock forts from the old lady who has passed away.

His wife clan has no power, and even the legitimate brother-in-law has to eat under his subordinates, so naturally he can't get any foreign aid.

Therefore, Xu Muhai's behavior on weekdays seems to be a little profligate, for him, as long as the Xu family can continue to exist, it doesn't matter if everything else matters.

Anyway, no matter how the big room and the second room fight openly and secretly, he has to be small and low in the third room.

Instead of participating in the open and secret battles in the hall of this ancestral hall, it is better to please the future head of the family (Xu Shisong), end the quarrel here as soon as possible, go back to his own Zhuangzi, and have a good time with those abrasive little nuns.
