Chapter 162: Calculating with Each Other
The idlers in the courtyard, Zhai Rang, left one after another, and Xu Shiji and other friends from Jia Liulou came up to apologize to Cheng Yanjin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Lao Cheng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite, I know it's none of everyone's business." In order not to harm the righteousness of Wagang; I am ready to leave Wagang tomorrow and go to Baimadu to wait for Wang Ying's army; Our brothers say goodbye; I welcome all my brothers to my Liangshan gathering. ”
Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruqi sighed and complained: "It's all the fifth brother's fault, and they didn't know to come to us earlier; Let Sixth Brother Shan deceive us to this Wagang Mountain; It's really breathless. If it weren't for my brother's righteousness, I would have left a long time ago.
Now Sixth Brother Shan went to Hebei Dawangzhuang to invite Dadao Wang Junke, and someone wanted to be deceived by him to the mountain. ”
Xu Shiji and Wang Bodang said with a gloomy face when they said it: "Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruqi, if you want to leave, please do it yourself, no one will stop you." ”
Qi Guoyuan said: "You don't have to say that about us, although we are not happy to live here; But since I came to Wagang Mountain, I didn't think about leaving alive! However, tomorrow the fifth brother will leave, and we will take someone to accompany him to Baimadu, and our brother will be stationed there in the future! ”
Cheng Yanjin patted the two of them on the shoulder and said, "Guoyuan, Ruqi, although you are from a reckless background, we have a temper when we see each other; Don't lose your temper in the future, work hard in Wagang! If anything doesn't go your way, talk to me, and our brothers will rest when they get drunk. ”
The two of them turned red when they heard this, and they couldn't stop nodding. Cheng Yanjin said to Xu Shiji: "Fourth brother, these two brothers are rude, but they are loyal; You have to take good care of them, and don't let them be wronged. ”
Xu Shiji nodded slightly and said, "Old Five, you can rest assured!" I will take care of them, and tomorrow I will see off my brothers in Hakumadu. ”
Li Mi also walked over and said: "Everyone getting together is fate, tomorrow we will all go to Baima to practice for Brother Cheng!" Speaking of which, I have a happy event that I would like to ask Brother Cheng to fulfill. ”
"Happy event?" Not only Cheng Biting Jin, but everyone around was stunned; "What's the happy event? Please Brother Li quotes! ”
Li Mi smiled: "Brother Cheng, what do you think of Brother Bodang?" Cheng Yanjin was stunned and said: "Bodang has no character or martial arts skills, whether it is placed in the rivers and lakes or the court, it is the best choice." ”
Li Miyi clapped his hands and said, "Okay! It couldn't be better if the Grand Steward agreed; I think the Bodang brothers have a good impression of Oriental girls, and the two of them are talented and beautiful, and they are a natural pair; How about the general manager Yucheng, please? ”
His words had already been spoken, and the heads of the people at the scene were covered with cold sweat; Cheng Yanjin glanced at him coldly, turned his head and asked Uncle Wang, "Eleventh brother, what do you think?" ”
Wang Bodang was so frightened that his back was cold, but his master had already spoken, and he really liked Dongfang Yumei, so he gritted his teeth and bowed down and said an ambiguous word: "I listen to the fifth brother!" What the fifth brother says is what it is? ”
Cheng Yanjin sighed and said, "No one in our Liangshan can decide the choices of others, even me, the chief manager. Yumei, you can talk about this matter. ”
Dongfang Yumei's eyes were almost about to breathe fire, how could she come out and suffer from these nests; She gritted her silver teeth and said: "I, Dongfang Yumei, swear to the sky, in this life and this life, except for the chief manager Cheng biting gold, I will not marry for the rest of my life!" If you break this oath, you will not die well! ”
Lao Cheng snorted coldly and said, "Bodang, do you have anything else to say?" Wang Bodang's face was pale, and he said a little shaky: "No, it's my wishful thinking, thank you for the teachings of the fifth brother!" ”
Li Mi didn't seem to take this matter to heart, for heroes like them, he only saw whether there was any interest in his eyes; I don't care about the feelings of others.
If the family becomes a general, it can also make Wang Bodang grateful; If he doesn't succeed, he has already done his best, Wang Bodang must also remember this favor, and let Wang Bodang completely draw a line with them, and the snakes and rats of the province are swaying at both ends.
Li Mihaha laughed: "It's all my fault for this matter, I don't know the relationship between the Oriental girl and the chief manager, it's me who is abrupt." However, in the past few days, I have had a very good conversation with Cen Wenwen's little brother, and I want to ask the chief manager to leave him behind, not only whether the chief manager can be fulfilled. ”
As soon as his words came out, everyone else was a little surprised, and Cen Wenwen's eyes were a little eager. Cheng Yanjin sneered in his heart, eager to chop Li Mi with an axe.
"Hahahaha!" Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, "Okay, this Cen Wenwen is my captive, but he is very talented, I can't support him for so long in vain." So be it! Let's make an exchange, I have admired Xu Shiji and Fourth Brother Xu for a long time, let's change it, Cen Wenwen stays, and Fourth Brother Xu goes with us, how about it? ”
"Ugh!" Li Mi's face is pale, who is Xu Shiji? The military advisor of Wagang Mountain! Without Xu Shiji, can Wagang still be Wagang?
"Manager Cheng, are you a little too greedy!" Li Mi said with displeasure in his sleeves. Cheng Yanjin smiled: "Brother Li, there is no benevolence and righteousness in trading, don't you need to worry?" Okay, then I'll give way, this time Wagang got a lot of money and grain from Nanyang, you give me all this money and food, and I'll leave Cen Wenwen! ”
Li Mi's eyes flashed and said, "This is true! Cheng Yanjin nodded and said: "The gentleman is quick to say a word, and he will never regret it!" ”
Li Mi stretched out his hand to make a bet with Cheng Yanjin and high-fived, then said goodbye and quickly went to find Zhai Rang; Wang Bodang couldn't stay any longer, so he turned around and followed Li Mi away.
Cen Wenwen sighed softly, with joy and a little loss in his heart, it seemed that he was not an indispensable talent, and some money and food were betrayed.
Dongfang Yumei blinked her eyes and said, "Brother Cheng, why did you promise him?" Don't you often say that talent is the most important thing now, and no amount of money or food can exchange for a talent? I see that you value Cen text very much. ”
Cheng Yanjin laughed and said: "Yumei, don't worry, you see that Third Brother Li and Fourth Brother Xu are not in a hurry." I told you that the ass decides the head! Although Zhai Rang is a hero, he was born as a small farmer, so he has a bad habit of greedy for money; When the money and food come into his hands, do you want to come out? Hehe, what wishful thinking!
This Li Mi dares to use Wang Bodang as a gun to disgust me, so I will let him go to Zhai Rang to touch his nose! If this caused a chasm between them, and at last there was a fire; It's good for him Li Mi! ”
"You! You are the devil! Cen Wen almost scolded angrily, and turned around to chase Li Mi, but was stopped by Cen Xiangzhi.
Cheng Yanjin smiled: "You are still wrong, I am not a devil, I am a demon king!" Young people still practice that! There are so many people from Liangshan and Wagang, why don't everyone stop it, just you? Are all stupid?
Hehe, I'm a Yang Mou, whether you stop it or not, as long as you can't stay in Wagang, Li Mi already hates Zhai Rang in his heart, it's the same whether he says it or not! It's a flaw in each other's personalities, and no one can change it. ”
Cen Wenwen lowered his head dejectedly, Xu Shiji and Li Jing also shook their heads with a wry smile, Dongfang Yumei looked at Cheng Yanjin with wide eyes and said, "Why are you so bad?" Did you say that I came here in the first place? Lao Cheng shrank his neck and broke out in a cold sweat, and everyone laughed.
The next day, Cheng Yanjin and others got up to say goodbye to Zhai Rang, and Zhai Rang hurriedly warmly retained, saying that he had found the captain who was derelict last night and beheaded him to show the public, and this kind of thing would never happen again in the future.
Cheng Yanjin smiled slightly, insisted on saying goodbye to him, and led everyone to leave Wagang, and Xu Shiji led Qi Guoyuan and Li Ruqi to accompany him. Zhai Rang's face was very ugly, and Li Mi looked at their backs and pinched his fists even more.
Cheng Yanjin and others said goodbye to Zhai Rang and came to Baimadu, the busy ferry port in the past has been almost deserted because of the intrusion of Wagang Mountain, and the prosperous scene of thousands of sails can no longer be seen.
Dongfang Yumei sighed slightly and said: "This is really strange, why are everyone rebels, the merchants who come and go from our Liangshan are like carp crossing the river, but the territory of other rebels is so desolate?" Xu Shiji and Li Jing felt the same way, and they both looked at Cheng Yanjin and waited for his answer.
Lao Cheng didn't hide it and asked with a smile: "Then Yumei knows that there is a small population in our three counties of Liangshan. Dongfang Yumei said happily: "I know this, Du Jianshi said when he gave us a lecture that we have vigorously recruited displaced people in the past two years, although Caozhou and Daizhou are in ruins, and there are five or six hundred thousand people under the rule of the three counties. ”
Cheng Yanjin nodded with a smile and said, "Yumei is really good memory, do you know how many troops we have?" Dongfang Yumei said: "Of course! There are 20,000 people in the four regular brigades, and the reserve brigade plus our women's regiment, the medical regiment, and the art troupe have a total of about 30,000 people. ”
Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Yes, this is the ratio of our military and civilian in Liangshan, the army is about 6%, and the population under our rule is completely effortless to feed this army, and there is still room for commercial activities."
Let's think about Meng Haigong again, at the beginning, the population of the two states was less than 300,000, and 20,000 troops were dispatched at every turn, and soon 20,000 were wiped out; He had at least seventy or eighty thousand troops under his command. The rest of the people are too busy to farm and feed the army every day, so they have no time to do business.
In fact, the same is true of Wagang Mountain now! The fourth brother must be vigilant against this military-civilian ratio, never exceed 10%! The war is fought for money, food and population, and once this ratio is broken, it cannot be self-sufficient; No matter how strong Wagang is, the fourth brother will have to seek a way to retreat! ”
Xu Shiji and Li Jing were shocked, clenched their fists and arched their hands: "Thank you for the teachings of the fifth brother!" Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said: "This is just some of my superficial ideas, the actual manipulation depends on you, I just have to charge into battle." ”
Li Jing said: "Not to mention, with the general direction of biting gold, we just have to splash ink on it, and it is really much easier!" ”
