In an instant, the entire hall began to whisper. Then, after a brief silence, everyone looked at Chao Gai, who was the first to sit in front of them, with a shocked expression.

Indeed, as Wu Yong said, compared with what Chao Gai did now, whether it was buying or selling ordnance or horses, it was almost negligible. Even Shi Qian and Tang Bin, who had just gone up the mountain, already knew that all the expenses of this cottage were paid by Chao Gai himself.

That large amount of silver is pushed out like flowing water, who is it, and it won't be distressed? However, even so, Chao Gai still fully supports the development of Shanzhai.

And just when everyone was ignoring it, Chao Gai took on the matter of opening up another source of wealth for Liangshan.

Who doesn't know the way of the world, and money is not easy to make?

If the money is really so easy to make, then there are still so many people who are dissatisfied with the imperial court?

Wouldn't the whole world have already become a peaceful day for the families around Zhao Guan's house to live and work in peace and contentment?

Liangshan's expenses are by no means maintained by just making a few small bucks. And now, Chao Gai actually took on the heavy burden and solved the matter. While thanking Chao Gai for his leadership and courage, everyone was also amazed by Chao Gai's vision.

"Today, the two brothers are stationed in Yantian in Laizhou. However, the matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. From Chao Gai's point of view, there are two aspects to this matter, and we must grasp them at the same time. First and foremost, there is the issue of defence. It is necessary to guard against external harassment and awareness, as well as to prevent internal information leakage. The second is the issue of development. What do you brothers think, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it! Chao Gai looked at the leaders of Liangshan in the Juyi Hall and ordered.

At the moment, this matter is imminent, and the sooner it is implemented, the more stable he will be.

"Brother is right", Wu Yong heard this, muttered slightly, and then spoke: "This matter must not be slack, otherwise the news will leak out before I have a foothold in Liangshan, and I am afraid that it will cause big trouble at that time." The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Not to mention anything else, I'm afraid that the government will never let go of this piece of fat, and we must be careful and vigilant about this, and even have a plan for the best. ”

"As for the development problem", Wu Yong said here, glanced at Chao Gai, and said with a smile: "Xiaosheng thinks it's much easier." At present, under the guidance of my brother, this technology is definitely the first in my Liangshan. Nowadays, the government controls the salt industry in the market, and the profits of private salt are huge, so as long as we do a good job in transportation and other specific work, I believe it will not be difficult to make a move."

"Not bad", Lin Chong nodded: "Speaking of which, I have to rely more on the brothers of the water army." As the old saying goes: there is no impermeable wall in the world. As Lin Chong expected, how we control it, I am afraid that the news of Liangshan's smuggling of salt will definitely not be hidden for a long time, and even once this news spreads, the government will definitely find out the specific location of salt mining in the shortest possible time. In this way, we really need to make careful arrangements, although it is not far from the cottage, but after all, it is not the territory of the cottage, if the government is targeting, I am afraid it will be a little tricky."

"In this case, let our navy directly build some big ships for transportation first, and prepare a way back. I'm going to find a suitable way to go straight from the cottage there", Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help but stand up and say when he heard this.

"Xiao Qi's words have awakened the pedant", hearing Ruan Xiaoqi's words, Wu Yong suddenly spoke: "We can indeed prepare some boats to pass by sea." As the saying goes, there are three holes of the cunning rabbit, and we really have to guard against it. Although there is no need to be too afraid of the government when Liangshan develops now, if it really matches the government, I am afraid that it will be unbeautiful to expose the strength of my Liangshan too early."

As soon as Wu said this, everyone nodded. Indeed, now Liangshan has a large number of ordnance and horses, plus day and night drills. Even if it is really right with the state capital, it will definitely not disappoint. However, if the government is defeated in the first battle, I am afraid that the government will be more worried about Liangshan, and then it will be impossible to say that there will be reinforcements from other governments, and even the imperial court will directly send troops to encircle and suppress Liangshan.

In the case that Liangshan's strength has not reached a very strong level, this move is obviously unwise. Therefore, Ruan Xiaoqi gave everyone a good suggestion.

"As far as the younger brother can see, as for the sales at that time, it is better to settle it in the hotel at the beginning", at this time, Zhu Gui also stood up, looked at Chao Gai and said with some caution: "One is more convenient, and there is no need to worry about safety." The two can also be regarded as testing the waters, and the distribution of grain and rice was in the hotel before, and the surrounding people are relatively familiar. This time, we can sell the first batch of salt to the surrounding people, and then we don't have to think about sales. I just don't know what my brother thinks? ”

"Not bad", Chao Gai nodded heavily when he heard this, not wanting Zhu Gui to have such a business acumen: "What the virtuous brother said is very good, and this matter will be based on what the virtuous brother said." It's just that in this way, the virtuous brother has a lot of things to do, and I'm afraid he will be unable to do anything. The hotel's own intelligence system must not be relaxed, and the sales of salt also need to continue to expand, so it is really a bit reluctant for the virtuous brother to cook alone."

Speaking of this, Chao Gai then glanced at Zhu Gui meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Chao Gai recently heard that Brother Zhu Gui has another brother, named Zhu Fu, the smiling tiger. Why didn't the virtuous brother invite him to join the cottage? ”

Zhu Gui was stunned, he didn't expect Chao Gai to actually mention his own brother Zhu Fu, and hurriedly said with some trembling: "Brother Tianwang, my younger brother has mentioned to my younger brother several times before that he wants to gather righteousness in the mountains, but my brother happened to be not on the mountain at that time, so the younger brother never mentioned it to my brother."

"This is the right brother of you", Chao Gai couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Since it is the brother of the virtuous brother, that is my brother Chao Gai, and the people of Liangshan at that time, the virtuous brother should invite the Zhu Fu brothers to go up the mountain as soon as possible, and I will meet each other!" ”

In fact, it was not that Zhu Gui had forgotten, but in fact, Zhu Gui did not dare to mention this matter to himself. After all, none of the Liangshan brothers recommended their relatives to come, and they did not rely on nepotism, besides, Zhu Gui, as his own brother, knew that his brother Zhu Fu's martial arts were only mediocre, and he really didn't have any special talents, and Zhu Gui was not easy to open his mouth. Therefore, even if Zhu Fu urged him several times, he replied and asked the other party to wait for the opportunity.

It's just that Zhu Gui didn't expect that this opportunity would come soon. At this time, Chao Gai actually opened his mouth first and mentioned the matter of asking Zhu Fu to go up the mountain. In Zhu Gui's impression, the ones who can make Chao Gai take the initiative to invite the mountain are definitely heroes on the rivers and lakes, such as Lu Zhishen. And right now, his younger brother Zhu Fu is obviously not at this level. Then, the reason why Chao Gai promoted Zhu Fu is undoubtedly because of his Zhu Gui.

Suddenly, Zhu Gui felt a sense of honor. Before, he always felt that he couldn't compare with Ruan Xiaoqi and the others, after all, they were Chao Gai's cronies, and he was only a general at best.

However, all along, Chao Gai did not deliberately exclude him, let alone send his henchmen to spy on him, which made Zhu Guiji very moved, and he couldn't help but be impressed by Chao Gai's heart again.

"What my brother ordered", Zhu Gui heard this, and clenched his fists at Chao Gai with a happy face: "In the past two days, I will send someone to call him over!" ”

Chao Gai nodded: "When Brother Zhu Gui goes up the mountain, I will talk to him in detail."

Speaking of this, Chao Gai's voice changed: "Since you brothers say so, then I think it's time to do a good job of defense." According to the previous arrangement, I am afraid that this matter will require more efforts from the brothers of the navy."

"Brother rest assured", Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi hurriedly stood up when they heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Our three brothers will definitely not slack off, and the brothers of the navy have long been looking forward to making contributions to the cottage!" ”

"Okay", Chao Gai smiled and nodded: "One of the three of you is responsible for the defense of Shanzhai Shuibo, one is responsible for opening the sea route from Liangshanbo to Laizhou Experimental Field, and the other is responsible for the security and development there. I will, send two more brothers to lead the army to help."

Chao Gai's voice fell, and most of the people in the righteous hall began to discuss it again.

"What do you think about the military advisor?"

Chao Gai looked at Wu Yong, who looked calm on the side, and asked. He had considered this matter all the way, but there was no suitable candidate. This person must be superb in martial arts, and he must be thorough. Only in this way can Chao Gai rest assured that the salt pan will be handed over to the other party. After all, this is a major matter related to Liangshan's livelihood, and there must be no sloppiness and slackness.

Thinking of this, Chao Gai suddenly felt that his Liangshan brothers were still in great shortage.

"In my humble opinion, junior brother", Wu Yong smiled slightly, glanced at everyone present, and said leisurely: "This matter is still tired of Master Lu. ”

Wu's voice fell, and most of the leaders of the cottage nodded. After all, everyone knows that this matter must be able to be a person who can take charge alone, Lu Zhishen is excellent in martial arts, and only he and Lin Chong are the only ones present who have this qualification.

"Little brother is willing to go!"

Seeing Wu Yong's recommendation, everyone agreed, Lu Zhishen didn't say anything, stood up and clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Since it is the elder brother's order, the younger brother has no second words!" ”

"Master, please sit down for a moment."

Chao Gai was about to nod, but after a glance, he happened to see a face, and he had an idea at the moment, smiled at Lu Zhishen and said, motioning for him to sit down first.

"Thinking about it, the master can definitely take on this heavy burden", Chao Gai said in a deep voice: "But now that there are more and more people in Liangshan, if Master Lu is taken away, I am afraid that the head of the Lin Sect will be really difficult to take care of the training of the cottage." This is one of them."

"Second, with Chao Gai's assumption, when the cottage settles down, Chao Gai is going to Jiuhua Mountain, and this matter must be with Master Lu in person. Therefore, at this time, Master Lu really can't get out."

"I see", when everyone heard this, they immediately understood, it turned out that Chao Gai was going to Jiuhua Mountain with Lu Zhishen to find the nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin and others.

"That being the case, which brother is going to send to Laizhou Yantian?" , Wu Yong couldn't help but ask.

The nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin has a few people, and Chao Gai and Lu Zhishen have mentioned it many times. It's just that I haven't had time to solicit it, but right now, Chao Gai is ready to leave, and now that Liangshan is developing on a larger scale, the manpower on the mountain is really a little stretched.

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Chao Gai's words were amazing, which suddenly made everyone present stunned:

"In Chao's opinion, Brother Tang Bin, a mountain wrestler, is enough to carry this heavy burden!"
