Zong Ze sat on the tiger skin chair decadently, and lamented: "I have the intention to kill the thief, but I can't return to the sky, what is going on in this world?" ”

Deng Long said loudly: "Break and stand, let's fight for that glimmer of life, is your old man just sitting here and sighing to himself?" ”

Zong Ze looked at Deng Long with disdain and said, "What are you thinking in your heart, doesn't the old man know?" Don't tell the old man that those are useless, just talk about stopping Jin Bing, what are your plans! ”

Deng Long's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he replied: "As long as your old man stays in Liangshan to help me, if nothing happens, I am still fifty percent sure!" ”

In the final analysis, fifty percent sure is not sure, Zong Ze still asked unwillingly in his heart: "If we fight against the Jurchens together with the imperial court, there will be a few percent hopes."

"Then we will die, not only will we die, but the court will also be finished, and there is no hope that the sesame seeds will be bigger!" Deng Long completely erased Zong Ze, which bit of unrealistic fantasy.

How did Di Qing die, he was scared to death, a famous general in a hundred battles had never seen anything on the battlefield, but he was scared to death in the capital, what kind of horror was it that made Di Qing scared to death, Deng Long also thought about it, it seems that there is no second explanation except for the Zhujiu clan that Zong Ze is talking about.

How did Liangshan's one hundred and eight generals die, Deng Long knows better than Zong Ze, how Yue Fei, who has not yet appeared, died, Deng Long also knows better than Zong Ze, to be honest, the status of a military general in the Great Song Dynasty is not as good as a eunuch.

Zong Ze gritted his teeth and asked solemnly: "If the old man stays in Liangshan and helps you wholeheartedly, how much hope can you have to defeat the Jurchen?" ”

Deng Long saw that Zong Ze was extremely serious at this moment, so he put away the appearance just now, and said: "Ten percent dare not say it, eighty percent still have hope!" ”

Zong Ze stood up, walked up to Deng Long, and said, "Why?"

Deng Long said confidently: "Just because I, Deng Long, am more sober than the emperor, smarter than the emperor, and more life-saving than the emperor?" ”

Deng Long seemed to have given Zong Ze a reassurance, Zong Ze stretched out his right hand and said: "The old man will bet once, and he will bet on the authenticity of your words today!" ”

Deng Long said with a smile: "Your old man will definitely win, the kid is extremely convinced!" Deng Long also stretched out his right hand and high-fived Zong Ze three times, and the oath was fulfilled.

Before he knew it, it was already dark, and Zong Ze shouted: "You tied the old man to Liangshan, do you want to starve the old man to death!" ”

Lin Chong hurriedly went down to prepare a banquet and served Zong Ze with dinner.

There was nothing to say at night, and the next day Zong Ze got up early in the morning and asked Lin Chong to take himself to see Liangshan's strength so that he could make plans for the future.

For three days in a row, Zong Ze took the account book, wrote and painted on it, walked around every corner of Liangshan, roughly estimated the current situation in Liangshan, and summoned the leaders of the village to come to the Juyi Hall to discuss matters.

Zong Ze sat next to Deng Long, took out the account book, and said: "The cottage is not bad at present, but the layout is chaotic, and there is no rule at all, if the imperial court sends a large army to conquer now, Liangshan will not have the ability to resist now." ”

Deng Long said: "Liangshan is not visible now, and it is not dewy, so the imperial court will not send people for the time being." ”

Zong Ze sneered: "Fortunately, you didn't do anything big, otherwise the old man would have stayed in Liangshan!" After a pause, Zong Ze said: "If you want to do something, then everything must be planned, in order to be long-term, the old man made a summary of the future development of Liangshan, you take a look, if you have any opinions, just say it to your face" Zong Ze took out the prepared documents and handed them to Chao Gai.

After Chao Gai read the documents, he passed them down one by one, and when everyone finished reading the plan, Wang Lun spoke first: "Your plan is good, but the cost is huge, and the cottage can't afford it at present!" ”

Zong Ze said domineeringly: "What are we now?" It's a strong man who occupies the mountain as the king, if there is nothing, then go down the mountain to grab it, do we still have to wait for others to send it to the door! ”

Wang Lun was speechless by Zong Ze's words, and sat on the chair without saying a word. Wu Yong stood up and said: "I have no opinion on the plan above, but it is too early to do this now?" ”

Zong Ze motioned for Wu Yong to sit down and explained: "There are still few people in Liangshan now, and there is a lot less resistance to doing anything. If you wait for the cottage to really dominate the world in the future, it is almost impossible to implement this plan! ”

Deng Long looked at everyone and said: "Just do what the sect elder wants, if anyone has an opinion and doesn't want to stay in Liangshan to be subject to this constraint, go to Wang Lun now, receive ten thousand yuan of money, and go down the mountain!" "Zong Ze's plan Deng Long has read it more than once, everything is formalized, and everyone is responsible for it, which can be described as earth-shaking for the current Liangshan. But in order to achieve the ultimate goal, there is nothing more practical than this plan.

Everyone sat on the chairs, did not speak, went down the mountain to be civilians, there was this idea before, and now watching Liangshan step by step on the right track, the future achievements are limitless, who still wants to go. Except for Huang An, who is passive, the rest of the people are not ambitious and uneasy about the status quo. So at this time, everyone did not respond to Deng Long.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zong Ze said, "Since no one objected, the old man began to arrange." ”

Everyone stood up, clasped their fists and said in unison: "I will obey my brother's arrangement." ”

Zong Ze also stood up at this time and said: "To transform the cottage, the materials needed are no longer few, I have prepared two roads, the first is that the whole group of the cottage will go down the mountain, go to the surrounding villages, and kill the local bullies, which will not only raise the reputation of Liangshan, but also get the materials that the cottage urgently needs now."

The second way is to control Dengzhou, so that Dengzhou can continue to provide us with materials and build cottages. ”

Lin Chong said: "The first road is not difficult, but it is too difficult to control Dengzhou, is it too difficult for the current Liangshan!" ”

Zong Ze said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know the situation in Dengzhou, and to put it bluntly, now in Dengzhou, it is the old man who has the final say, and Zhizhou is just a decoration!" ”

Wu Yong knew Zong Ze's prestige in Dengzhou, and immediately told everyone what he had seen and heard in Dengzhou, and everyone naturally admired Zong Ze and had no objections.

Deng Long said: "There are countless benefits to controlling Dengzhou, but who should be allowed to go?" "If he wants to achieve the results of Zong Ze's plan, he must not leave Liangshan.

Zong Ze said with a smile: "I think Wu is good at using Wu's pedantry, there is no lack of change, but there is a lack of tempering, and he has been in charge of Dengzhou for a few years, and his future is immeasurable!" ”

Wu Yong was praised by Zong Ze and blushed, and said: "Xiaosheng has never been an official, I'm afraid I can't afford to bear the trust of Zong Lao and my brother." ”

Zong Ze comforted: "It's not you who go to Dengzhou alone, the dog Zong Ying will also go to Dengzhou with you, and the soldiers and horses in Dengzhou are raised by the old man, when you arrive in Dengzhou, as long as you are optimistic about Zhizhou, Sun Li and Zong Ying will help you with other affairs." ”

Wu Yong is also a conceited person, just now he was just modest, when he heard Zong Ze's arrangement, he immediately agreed: "Wu Yong will definitely not live up to the trust of his brother and Zong Lao, and build Dengzhou into the rear of Liangshan." ”

After arranging Wu Yong, Zong Ze continued: "Wu Yong is just a person who went to Dengzhou to preside over government affairs and collect materials for Liangshan, the old man has not been selected yet, everyone present, who can be a businessman before?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, only Chao Gai stood up and said: "Chao Gai has been a private businessman before, but he has never done serious business!" ”

Zong Ze smiled bitterly: "Although private businessmen are also businessmen, it's just that you are not suitable to go to Dengzhou, and there are other people." "Private traders refer to the sale of goods that are strictly forbidden by the imperial court for private trading, as long as you are bold enough, no matter who you are, you can do it. Therefore, private businessmen lack the self-motivated heart of serious businessmen who are careful and hard-working.

Deng Long suddenly thought of a person and said: "There is such a person in the cottage now, but I can't feel his vein, otherwise he is the most suitable person." Deng Long told Ximenqing about it.

Zong Ze said with a smile: "A little businessman, see if he can toss a few times in the palm of the old man's hand, and wait for the old man to arrange the current affairs, and then go to meet him." ”

Deng Long prayed silently for Ximenqing for a while, the old guy is not his own family and Wu Yong, if he doesn't train Ximenqing to be obedient, can he rest assured!
