Chapter 245: Occupy the mountain as king

Zhang San looked at everyone and nodded and said: "Yes, the conditions here are unique, the only thing I am worried about is that if we leave, other bandits will come to occupy the mountain again, and there will definitely be a new round of suffering nearby, and we can't pay attention to this place every time, and every time a thief comes to clear it." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Since ancient times, bandits have either occupied dangerous places, or active rivers and lakes, or simply hid in people's houses, and the bandits who occupy dangerous points are indeed the most difficult to deal with, and often dispatch tens of thousands of troops to return in vain.

Zhou Tong was also worried, looked around and saw that Zhang San was still smiling there, and said angrily: "San Lang has something to say, he is making trouble and begging for a fight!" ”

Zhang San immediately didn't dare to laugh: "My idea is that instead of waiting for the bandits to occupy it, it is better for us to occupy it first, you see that there are many places on the top of this mountain that can be slightly cultivated, and there are also a few valleys under the mountain where you can plant some tea trees."

Most of these are those who have a bow and arrow foundation, usually farming and hunting, it is estimated that it is not a big problem to feed them, and if there is a shortage, I can also let the Weiyuan Dart Bureau help a little. ”

Everyone looked at Zhang San in surprise, why did you let Weiyuan Dart Bureau help, why didn't you help directly, this is not in line with Zhang San's style, everyone looked at Zhang San and looked at the Huo family father and son, they were not stupid, and they thought of an uncertain idea in their hearts, and everyone looked at Zhang San.

Zhang San smiled and nodded in acknowledgement: "The Huo family has encountered great difficulties in running the dart bureau, I have already reached out to help, and this year I have some business to go out of the capital, and I need some dart bureau guards, rather than using others, it is better to open one myself." ”

Everyone had such an expression, and then Zhang San told everyone about his plan for the dart game, and finally concluded: "As long as these darts are unblocked, then people in the world miss their families or want to send something in the field, they only need a letter, and they can receive a reply after a month, so many people will benefit from it." ”

Everyone listened to what Zhang San said, and thought that if there was really such a dart game, it would be much easier for them to contact relatives and friends in the future, which was simpler than dragging people to believe in it, and it was safer, and it was more economical. It's just that such a big plan is not something that everyone dares to think about and do.

After Wang Huan heard this, he was also envious of Zhang San's wealth, and after the Hero Building was encountered, he also sent someone to inquire about Zhang San's news, knowing that Zhang San had risen rapidly in the past few months, and his business was doing very well, especially if the Drunken Immortal Building did not have forty or fifty thousand yuan, it would definitely not be able to buy it.

And Zhang San also built a Qingyu Hall, adopted one or two thousand orphans, this kind of courage is really not something ordinary people can have, and Zhang San treats his brothers very righteously, in the past with his brothers, which one is not worth thousands of dollars, this is still because of the short time, this year Yixing Hutchison opened four new fields, and a dozen of his brothers are estimated to become big officials with thousands of dollars this year.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh a little, if I had known this, I would have followed him at the beginning, and I didn't have to let Pity end up like this now because of lack of money, the reason why Wang Huan came to Funiu Mountain this time to obey Zhang San was to hold on to the hope that Zhang San would help him find his He Mercy, although he felt that there was little hope.

After Zhang San introduced these, he said: "After this crackdown on bandits, the road from the capital to Yueyang is also opened, and there is this transit station on Funiu Mountain, and there will be a place for valuable goods to rest in the future."

I intend to let these people hunt in the wilderness here, as long as they keep watch in those dangerous places at night, and this place is safe, not only for these bandits who abandon evil and follow good, but also for the people nearby, and for the safety of the dart game in the future. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, since Zhang San has a plan, everyone is no longer entangled in this, and after a day of distribution, most of the grain depot was basically emptied, and the rest was bought by Zhang San from the villagers, after all, not every village is short of grain, and Zhang San will not be stupid enough to spend money to buy it and pick it up on the mountain after the grain is divided.

In fact, Zhang San intends to operate this place as a base, such an environment, so close to the capital, as long as it is guarded, then this place is as solid as gold, and some heroes who have committed things and inconvenient to show up can be hoarded here.

The most important thing is that Zhang San plans to use this as the bank treasury of the future bank, as long as a few masters are sent to sit in the town, this place is absolutely foolproof, which is safer than building a bank vault in the capital, and even if someone is greedy for their own money, it is not something that a cat or a dog can rob.

Zhang San called everyone together in the evening, Zhang San first reported the distribution of food and silver in the past two days, and finally there were thousands of taels of ownerless things left, Zhang San's meaning is very simple, everyone can't work in vain, everything that should be sent has been sent, and the rest of these are also what everyone deserves.

And it is useless for Zhang San to take the credit for suppressing bandits this time, but it is indeed a great achievement for the magistrate, as long as the operation is done properly, the magistrate will definitely be able to take a step higher with this merit, so Zhang San plans to sell part of the credit to the magistrate to redeem this mountain forest and the magistrate's acquiescence to release his own grain and people.

Among all the people, Zhang San was most worried about Zhou Tong and Wang Jin, afraid that they would be pedantic and stubborn, but after Zhang San said it carefully, he did find that the two of them were not unhappy but nodded flatly.

This made Zhang San breathe a sigh of relief, in fact, this kind of corruption and fraud in the Great Song Dynasty was already the norm, and what Zhang San did was nothing unusual, as for sharing the robbers' money, everyone did not have a little psychological burden, compared to others, they were already good people.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the long-awaited government officials and magistrates of the county were late, and Zhang San had already let Le He leak the news with him, as long as he was willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver and give him the land around the stronghold of the bandits in Funiu Mountain, then Zhang San would give the credit for the suppression of the bandits to the magistrate.

The magistrate first took a polite look at the arrival of the county, and then took him to visit the bandits' nest on the mountain, and then the magistrate handed over the money and the title deed to Zhang San, and Zhang San handed over the bandit leaders and the dead bandit corpses on the mountain to him, as well as the incriminating evidence collected by Zhang San.

Zhixian learned that Zhang San was a big businessman from the capital, and this cottage was also used as a stronghold of his dart bureau in the future, so he was immediately relieved, of course, he was not interested in continuing to investigate what Zhang San was doing in the mountains, he was about to be promoted.

After dealing with the magistrate, Zhang San began to distribute the looted silver, plus the 10,000 taels sent by the magistrate, Zhang San finally decided to divide one thousand taels per person, and these people also accepted the money politely.

Early the next morning, Zhou Dong, Wang Jin and others said goodbye and went back, Wang Huan saw that there was no reason to stay, so they also said goodbye together, Zhang San did not go back for the time being because he had to arrange things here.

After everyone left, Zhang San gathered these bandits who were willing to stay, first inspected the cave, cleaned out some unused things and burned them, and then began to clean up the rocks on the top of the mountain, preparing to build a few rows of houses on the mountain.

After all, he can't let his subordinates live in caves like bandits, and then those passes on the mountain road need to be strengthened, especially the plank road and the first line of sky, Zhang San plans to change the suspension bridge and door to iron. The underground wall will also be rebuilt, and a piece of land will be leveled inside the wall to build a house.

Zhang San said that it was reserved as a foothold, and it must not be without personnel exchanges. The passing dart master and others will definitely not let them go up the mountain to rest, and they will not even let them enter the two levels. Of course, there will not be many dart masters who need to enter the village.

To the Zhaimen section is to climb the mountain, and it is more than ten miles away from the main road, escorting a large number of goods to climb the mountain, it is definitely a pit in the brain, so only special valuables, and people with special tasks need to live in.
