Chapter 0099: Opportunities and Challenges
It is said that Chao Gai and his group are heading in the direction of Liangshan, and Jiang Lintian is naturally busy here, and there are endless things to do every day. And now he is most concerned about the movement in the direction of Zengtou City.
Zeng Rong, the governor of Zengtou City, is a merchant of Jinguo, and in a few years, he has gained a firm foothold in Zengtou City and has developed into the current situation, black and white, it can be said that he is a very skillful person.
After nearly two months of construction, the appearance of the castle is still beginning to take shape, but the interior layout has not yet been perfected. Repairing the city and casting the wall is a top priority, naturally sloppy, Jiang Lintian once saw in the book the Ming Dynasty's inspection method for the quality of bricks, that is, after the bricks are burned, each brick is engraved with the name of the maker, if it is unqualified to reach more than three, the caster will be beheaded, so no one dares to be sloppy, and even the people who live by the Great Wall in later generations take these bricks to build houses and build walls, and these bricks are also called "gold bricks".
Jiang Lintian not only has to build a city, but also gathers people's hearts, so naturally he will not use such a strict system, but there is still a reward and punishment system, that is, according to the defective rate, sampling survey to judge the good or bad, after all, there are different kinds of people, and the flowers bloom in a variety of ways.
Of course, the people of this era have a valuable spirit, that is, hard work. So there's almost no place for cheating.
The Song people were very keen on merchants, which was unimaginable in other dynasties, after all, the status of merchants in many dynasties was very low, but the Song Dynasty was different, the Song Dynasty people were very enthusiastic, there was nothing that could not be sold, even themselves, which also had the document of selling the deed, and the Song people attached great importance to the spirit of the contract, which was also a point that Jiang Lintian appreciated very much. So he calculated that Chao Gai would definitely think of helping him. And in the main hall of the Zeng family compound in Zengtou City, a group of people are discussing this
。
Sitting in the main seat is the head of the Zeng family, Zeng Rong, and the next few are his five sons, one by one, sitting in danger, listening to Zeng Rong's lectures to them, although several people are very strong in martial arts, but for Zeng Rong, his father who is not good-looking, they are very respectful.
Zeng Lang looked at Zeng Sheng and said, "Sheng'er, how did you communicate with Jiang Lintian, what did this kid say?" ”
Zeng Sheng arched his hand and said: "Back to my father's words, that kid's words, that kid is a hard bone, oil can't be spilled, soft and hard don't eat, the child wanted to kill him during the banquet, but who thought that the kid actually wanted to die and break the net, so he didn't dare to start." ”
Without waiting for Zeng to answer, Zeng asked: "Fifth brother is not in a hurry, I think that Jiang Lintian is just a yellow-mouthed child, I want to see what he is capable of." After that, he got up and went out, preparing to raise some soldiers and horses to attack Jiang Lintian.
Before Zeng Suo walked out of the door, he heard Zeng Lang say: "Slow! ”
Zeng Suo turned his head and asked, "Father, what's the matter?" ”
Zeng said, "What are you going to do here?" ”
Zeng Suo said: "Of course, I want to mention some soldiers and horses, teach Jiang Lintian's kid, and help the fifth brother avenge, I only need to bring a thousand people." ”
Zeng said: "Idiot, how old are you, and you are still so ignorant, that Jiang Lintian is the son-in-law of Chai Daguan, how can Chao Gai and others be friends, this time, even if you clean up that kid, isn't it self-trouble?" ”
Zeng Suodao: "Father, what should I do? ”
Zeng Lang looked at Zeng Sheng and asked, "Have you written a letter to Song Zhusi?" ”
Zeng Sheng nodded and said, "Song Abshisi said that he will definitely come to congratulate his father on his birthday this time. ”
Zeng Suo also smiled and said: "My father's 60th birthday, I think it will be very exciting, I congratulate you as a son." ”
Zeng waved his hand and said, "It's not important to be a birthday or something, the important thing is that a few of you can let me save some snacks." Especially you, don't be so impulsive! Then he pointed at Zeng Suo.
Zeng Suo smiled and asked again, "I don't know why my father invited this letter to Song?" He is just a tasteless little official, although he has a slight reputation in the rivers and lakes, but how can he enter his father's eyes? ”
Without waiting for Zeng to explain, Zeng Sheng said: "Big brother doesn't know, although this Song Jiang is a small official, indeed, a person with great wisdom. ”
"Oh? Then I'll have to hear it. Zeng Suo said with a smile.
"That Song Jiang is not good-looking, short, and ranks third, so he is nicknamed Hei Saburo, when he was young, he was extremely good at gambling, and he lost all his 100 acres of fertile land, but because he gambled a lot, he seemed to have found a skill, and ten years later, he even won back overnight with interest, if the eldest brother is Song Jiang, what will he do?" Zeng Sheng was dumbfounded.
Zeng Suo said without thinking. said: "If it were me, I should celebrate it well, so that I can be worthy of the hardships of more than ten years, fifth brother, right?" ”
Zeng Sheng shook his head, sighed, and said, "Big brother, you are wrong!" That Song Jiang is not like this. ”
Zeng Suo asked again, "What about him?" ”
Zeng Sheng said: "He scattered all the silver and didn't keep any of it." And he also advised those people not to gamble. ”
Zeng Suo scratched his head and asked puzzledly: "Then Song Jiang didn't let the donkey kick his head, right?" The good money is not earned, but it is all scattered. ”
Zeng Sheng said helplessly: "This is where Song Jiang is powerful, he is really courageous, I ask myself if I am in his position, I will definitely not be able to do it." ”
Zeng Lane watched the conversation between the two people and was silent, but observed the expression of his youngest son and secretly admired.
Zeng said: "If you don't want small profits, you must have a big plan, this Song Gongming's heart is really far away!" You'll all have to learn something. ”
The five tigers of the Zeng family all bowed their hands in unison and said, "We will be taught." ”
Zeng Rong nodded, and said to Zeng Sheng: "Wu'er, you have to have a snack for this matter, and you have to treat this Song Gongming well in the future, and you have to be close to him more." ”
Zeng Sheng nodded in agreement.
Zeng Lang asked again: "What is the movement of Chao Gai since he robbed the Birth Gang?" ”
Zeng Sheng said: "Chao Gai is now worried by the imperial court, and he can wipe his ass if he has many wanted warrants, and he is already too busy to take care of himself, but recently I heard that he is going in the direction of Liangshan." ”
Zeng said: "Keep an eye on it at any time, I have my own measure." This time, I have to celebrate my father's 60th birthday, so that everyone in the rivers and lakes can see the strength of my Zengtou City. ”
Zeng Suo said happily: "Father is wise, I want to celebrate my father's birthday this time, the strength of my Zengtou City will definitely rise, and then Shandong Lvlin will not be the first to look forward?" ”
Zeng Lang waved his hand and said: "Don't underestimate the heroes of the world, but this time, we can really let the people in the court see our strength." Although Zeng said very calmly, there was a hint of fire in his eyes.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and under the calm appearance of the Great Song Dynasty, there are many dark tides hidden in the shadows, and Jiang Lintian at this time is looking at the weather outside, constantly thinking about something.
