Chapter 393: Different Pursuits

"Yours, ten taels."

"Your ten taels."

"Your five taels, your five taels ......"

"One hundred taels for public security, ten taels for fights and brawls......"

Wu Li had a gloomy face and did not speak, and his four relatives chose to bow their heads in front of the magistrates of Jinan Mansion with an indignant and helpless look.

A fine of one hundred and forty pounds, that is, one hundred and forty taels of silver, and fourteen taels of gold.

Ten taels of them were given to the little boy, the newsboy, and one lost one thousand, which was the rule set by Lu Qian at the beginning. At the end of last year's winter, I don't know how many people were pitted. It's also a shame that the slap didn't hit the little newsboy, otherwise one of Wu Li's personal followers would definitely be imprisoned.

It's the compensation cost of the two patrol officers, one person is only five times/five taels, but this is enough for the two of them to smile. And the little newsboy, ten taels of silver is an astronomical amount, and if he only works normally, I don't know if he will be able to save up enough money before the end of the sixteen-year Boy Scouts.

Another ten taels were given to the Jinan Prefecture Newspaper. The president looked at the silver in the little newspaper boy's hand, and only sighed Wu Li, why did they take a few more newspapers, so the compensation would be more. The angry Wu pear is about to get angry. Take a few more newspapers, and who will you show them to? Except for Wu Li himself, who among them still knows how to read?

The public security fee is 100 times, and the punishment for public fights and brawls is 10 times. That's the big head. And the important thing is that the impact of this incident is so bad that it can shake the entire city of Jinan. If it is in accordance with laws and regulations, Wu Li's four entourage, and even Wu Li himself, will be imprisoned, who called Wu Li did not stop him in the first place?

Isn't it because of their special status? When Lu Qian heard about this, he specially called someone to pass on the will and pardoned the guilt. But the sin is forgiven, but the fine is not forgiven. That is, for the sake of Lu Qian's will, otherwise the public security punishment would not be more than 500 yuan.

Wu Li naturally felt disgraced. It's not a lot of money, but it feels bad. He is an envoy sent by Tian Hu, representing not only his Uncle Wu, but also the entire Jin army. In this way, it is a loss of face.

Coming out of the courthouse, Wu Li went straight back to the post house. Isn't it a disappointment? Then he heard a phrase in the inn.

Wu Li's first reaction was: "Idiot, it's not that you have lost your mind, and it's ridiculous to do delusional things." But he still called for the servants, "Bring me your newspaper for today." "There will be no shortage of "News" in this post house.

In the middle of the ring, a newspaper that smelled of ink arrived in Wu Li's hand.

It's absolutely high-tech. No matter how Wu Li wanted to break his brain, he couldn't figure out how Liang Shanjun could print so many and clear newspapers. And this "News" is available every day, and the price is so cheap.

That's God.

Even Fujian's books, which are known for their low prices, can't be in such a situation, right? And the books printed in Fujian are mostly soft (soft wood boards), with different shades of ink, and they are easy to make and sell quickly. The quality is known to the world.

The handwriting of the newspaper in front of me is clear, although there are many simple words in it, but it is definitely of excellent quality, almost comparable to the engraved book of Hangzhou Bookstore.

But he didn't know that Lu Qian used movable type printing, and the movable type used was made of lead and tin, and the whole process was supervised by Jin Dajian, a jade arm craftsman, and Xiao Rang, a holy hand scholar. These two also joined the Liangshan Army at that time. It's just that it hasn't been leaking. And ink is one of the few 'inventions' that Lu Qian can remember.

Lamp black, sesame oil, manual stirring.

In addition to flax oil, he remembers tung oil, soybean oil, castor oil, wax can be added to it, which is said to improve the water resistance and printing properties of the ink, and even resins, such as rosin.

In this way, together with the typesetter, the basis for the publication of the newspaper was completed. But to outsiders, such technology is absolutely incredible. Of course, what is even more incredible now that Lu Qian has really lowered the price of salt to such a point!!

Halfway through, Wu Li came back to his senses from the shock of the words, "Is this Lu Qian really going to be a living bodhisattva?" "The price of salt is ten copper pounds, Wu Li has lived for half a lifetime, and he is no stranger to salt, and Weisheng Prefecture is not far from Jiezhou, but it is the first time to see such a price. I have never seen a person like Lu Qian, and the price of this official salt is set cheaper than private salt.

"Don't say it. This man and woman in Shandong are good blessings from their previous lives. Wu Li's relatives couldn't help but be envious. Although they were still feeling indignant just now.

But everyone has a heart.

Look at the people here, there are fewer exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, less labor, and the king of Qi also directly exempts grain, and grants public land, and limits the rent tax on private land, even the price of grain and rice must not rise, and the price of salt has fallen to ten sons! Although there are a lot of rules here, such as walking and walking horses have to be divided into left and right, and peeing are not convenient anywhere, and there are things that make them ugly in the morning, but if you can have a stable life, how many people are willing to lick blood from the knife?

After lunch, Wu Li finally walked out of the post house, so the five of them rode to the south gate of Jinan, and before Wu Li stepped forward to show the token, he saw the Liangshan Army officer in front of him suddenly shouted, "Scatter, disperse." Then he heard the sound of horses' hoofs outside the gate, and in the twinkling of an eye he saw a troop of horsemen galloping into the city. There is a small red flag behind everyone, so that people can know what they are doing at a glance.

This kind of emergency military situation, that killed people but did not compensate at all. If you can't die, you will be punished for the crime of obstructing military intelligence.

"There's another batch, it's the third batch today, right?"

"It's the second batch. The first batch did not plant a red flag. I don't know what's going on. ”

"Don't be noisy, how can we small people know about the major affairs of the military state!"

"You black-hearted bird has no heart. Don't you hear that the king said that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. I am waiting for this happy life, but it is all covered by the king's soldiers and horses. If there is a ,...... in case"

"Ahh Zhu San, you rough embryo, dare to commit such a crime, call it so bluntly, you don't know the level! If you can't speak, shut up and be dumb. Thanks to the blessing of the king, my family was relieved, and only hoped that the king would live a long life, and the Liangshan army would be invincible. Hugh provokes bad luck. ”

The people around heard the chorus and rose to the occasion.

Wu Li listened to it in her ears, and sighed in her heart that Lu Qian's 'benevolence and righteousness' had achieved home. Thinking of his own family in Wasion State, this is not a taste in my heart.

A group of five people walked out of the north gate with the token, and Wu Li led the horse forward. The destination is the Jishui Wharf more than ten miles north of Jinan. Jinan Jinan is not the south of Jishui! Lu Qian only noticed this when he changed the name of Dongping Mansion.

Five people on horseback, that walk is fast. It was only two quarters of an hour, and the seven-step bridge was faintly visible. The so-called seven steps are really seven miles. Before arriving at the bridge, I saw the banner of the Liangshan Army erected from afar.

This is the nearest line between the wharf and the city of Jinan, and it is guarded by its own soldiers. However, there was no obstacle to the flow of businessmen and people, and people and vehicles were unimpeded. There are Liangshan troops on the north and south of the bridge, I am afraid that there are hundreds of people, and there is still a camp at the north end of the bridge.

Wu Li didn't care, so he set up a military outpost, his eyes only looked at the Liangshan army here, they didn't seem to be inferior to the patrol sergeants in the city. But how is this possible, "unless the Liangshan army is so capable!" Wu Li didn't believe it.

If the Liangshan army is really full of such strong soldiers, the gap between Jin and Qi will be too big. It's all a rebellion, there's no reason for that, isn't it?

Thinking like this, Wu Li was touched by his side, "Official, look at that!" ”

Wu Li turned his head and looked in the direction of his finger, and saw two soldiers of the Liangshan Army who were not wearing battle armor, picking up at a stall at the north end of the bridge. When you look at it, it's a pile of melons. The stall owner was an old farmer, looking at the Liangshan Army soldiers in front of him, smiling happily.

"That old man can laugh so happily......" Wu Li's eyes widened.

The group of five people seemed to be stunned, watching the two Liangshan soldiers pick melons, and watching them kindly give the old farmer a pinch of copper plates.

"Official, this Liangshan military ......, like this, so ......" Wu Li's relatives couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while, and they only felt like eating a fly in their hearts, "It's not interesting, it's not interesting, it's so boring." On this day, they have seen too many scenes of "Liangshan Army winning the hearts of the people", and there is a way that things must be reversed.

"Damn it. This is a rebellion, and what grandpa is asking for is a happy life. Heaven does not care about me, earth does not restrict me, a thousand freedoms, all kinds of freedom. The little ones follow the big king's big bowl to drink wine and eat meat, do not eat and filthy officials, and are not pestered by pickled lawsuits. This is to be used. ...... do it like this."

Wu Li said with a kiss behind him. That goes straight to the hearts of the five people.

Isn't that so?

I obey all kinds of rules and regulations, and I am more like an official army than an official army, why do I want to follow you to do this murderous business?

Wu Li was still thinking about the strength of the Liangshan Army, but now after seeing the well-behaved Liangshan Army, he suddenly felt bored in his heart.

"That's it. All went back. "The so-called leopard in the tube, from the small to the big. Wu Li felt that she didn't need to go to the dock anymore. His impression of Liang Shanjun is simply fixed, as long as he thinks of it, he thinks of a strict military discipline like a false 'monster'.

"If this King Lu really wants to be a Buddha of ten thousand families, he can let him go." In this way, Tian Hujun will never be able to learn. "Living like this, there is no shortage of white water, and there is little taste." Wu Li thought of the beautiful girl and the gold and silver treasures in her room, and shook her head again and again.

Liang Shanjun and Tian Hujun are not all the way.

At this moment, the western army of the northern expedition had crossed the Yellow River, along the Fenshui, and went north to Jiangzhou. The intention is to take Jinzhou first, and then overcome Fenzhou, to ensure that Taiyuan Province is unhindered (then Fenzhou is Taiyuan to the north). And the east of Fenzhou is Weisheng Prefecture, when the army smashed down and wiped out the thieves in one fell swoop.

This led the western army to the north is the way of the planter.

The veteran general, who was nearly seventy years old, was calm, and as soon as the army forward arrived at Xiangling in Jinzhou, the forward came with good news, which made him surprised, but he was even more puzzled why the fight was so fast. After learning the details, he couldn't stop smiling.

But it was the forward commander Zhang Da who led the army to the city of Xiangling, and the Zhongtian Tiger Army in the city opened the city gate and killed to meet the battle. The result was no surprise.

Speaking of which, Tian Hujun is not less than 10,000 people, and the number is not inferior to Zhang Dabu. But how can rotten copper compare to real gold?

Na Tian Biao is Tian Hu's third brother, and he fights especially hard. During the battle, he personally led a team of brave thieves to rush towards Zhang Da's army, and wanted to rely on his own bravery to kill the main general of the official army, so as to turn defeat into victory.

Zhang Da only waved the battle flag and ordered the archers, swordsmen, and pikemen to come forward to meet the battle. Tian Biao killed in front of the battle, with arrows like rain, swords and spears like a forest, and he couldn't succeed in several conflicts, but he suffered many casualties. At that time, there was a continuous shout behind the hillock on the side, and a team of infantry rushed out, the first one was Zhang Da's son Zhang Zhongfu, with a big knife in his hand sweeping and slashing, and on both sides were the elite of the army wearing heavy armor, holding spears and guns, knives and sticks, rolling straight in, and immediately cut Tian Biao's rear team into half. Suddenly, there was a loud killing behind him, but Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan came in in two teams. Tian Biao's people immediately became chaotic, and he himself led a small number of brave people to break through. Later, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan waved their troops into Tian Hu's army. That Niu Wenzhong is dividing his troops and trying his best to resist the Western Army, so how can he parry it, and the entire army will collapse. Bian Xiang was fighting in front, and trouble arose in the rear, so he didn't dare to fight, so he patted his horse and left. The deputy general Wang Yuan panicked in his heart, and was stabbed off his horse by a warrior in the Western Army, and was killed by another shot. Qin Ying and Yao Yue also fled, but in the chaos of the army, they bumped into an evil warrior with an iron fork, and before they could parry, the warrior roared, and if the thunder exploded, he raised a fork in his hand, and from Qin Ying's chest to the back, he fell off his horse and died on the spot. Yao Yue stabbed with a spear, but was grabbed by the man, ripped off the horse, and captured alive.

Tian Biao relied on a big knife to kill through the encirclement, and joined Niu Wenzhong, Bian Xiang and others, did not dare to return to the city, and went to Jinzhou Mansion to govern Linfen.

The Western Army marched against Tianhu and won the victory.

In Jiangzhou City, Tan Zhen, the supervising army, was greatly surprised after receiving the news. In this battle, more than 3,000 thieves were killed and more than 2,000 were captured alive. On the one hand, he reported the good news to Luoyang City, and on the other hand, he wanted to plant the master Dao and execute all the captured thieves, so Yao made an appointment with him to send it to Jiangzhou, and he also sent it to Luoyang to invite merit.

There was not the slightest thought of surrender in my head.

"I can rest assured. There is probably only one thief in the world like Liang Shanbo. The ordinary grass coars, always out of order, came with noise, and collapsed in a battle. With the young general at the bottom, the old species will be like a broken bamboo, and I am afraid that there will be good news in the future. ”

Liu Qi carefully served Tan Zhi, his father was degraded by Zhao Ji in anger after the defeat in the last battle, and Liu Qi was going to go with him, but he was dissuaded by Liu Zhongwu, and he did not belong to Tong Guan, but returned to the Western Army, and now he is serving under the old man. This was promised by the seed master to use a battalion of personal soldiers to protect Tan Shu in Jiangzhou.

Tan Zhi knew that Liu Qi was deliberately saying good things to him, but how could it be? If the old breed can really spread good news, why don't you spare your pen and ink and not give him credit?

There are still a long way to go. The Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Song Dynasty still had to rely on the Western Army to support it. He is the leader of the Western Army, and he has a good relationship with him this time.

Tan Zhi thinks long-term.
