191. Lu Jinyi's ambitions
Lu Jin was full of ambition and laughed.
"Brothers, today I am the owner of the village, first set the rules, our Liangshan Cottage from today, to do the road for the sky, this hall, it will be called the Juyi Hall!"
"Yes, what the eldest brother said is, for the heavens, the Juyi Hall!" The crowd shouted.
Of course, there are coping with it.
He Shun's eyes quietly rolled twice, opened his mouth, and made the appearance of shouting, but he didn't shout.
"Brothers, since I am the owner of the village, I have to think of a way out for your brothers...... Ladies and gentlemen, we have no way to live, the imperial court implements the law of enclosing fields, and the eight hundred miles of Liangshan Luo will all be collected by the officials, and we even have to pay taxes to the emperor Lao'er even to take a breath and drink saliva - the unpaid imperial grain and national taxes, the inexhaustible errands and forced labor, either starve to death and die of exhaustion, or be whipped to death and hacked to death by knives, brothers, we don't do anything, there is a way to die, things can be done, there is a way to live, and not only a way to live, but even a road to wealth! ”
The surrounding crowd was turbulent, everyone felt that they were hot, and Lu Jinyi's words went to everyone's heart!
Wang Lun has no other strengths, but he still has a little eyesight to see people, and anyone who can be a leader here has some skills. has some skills, but they can't climb up from the imperial examination, they can only feel that they have no talent, and they hide a pair of ambitions and forbearance, until they are recruited by Wang Lun, and they also feel that being a cottage leader is really wronged by themselves.
If Lu Jinyi can really find a way out for everyone, worship him as the eldest brother and recognize him as the owner of the village, it is okay.
"There are three ways for us to be like us, one is to be exterminated by the dog officer, and everyone is cut off and goes underground together as companions; the second is to kill people and set fires to be recruited, forcing the court to give us an official; Third...... Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Bang was born in rebellion, and he later became the emperor! ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Liu Bang was a rogue pavilion chief and became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, and no one knew about this matter. But although those here have no knowledge, they also know that the emperor's throne is not so easy to take!
"Don't laugh, we can't be the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, why not go overseas to occupy a piece of territory and become an emperor?" Lu Jinyi said again.
The laughter of the crowd stopped.
Yu Yang stroked his beard triumphantly, his triangular eyes flashed, this idea was his idea.
"Everyone, look at this!"
Lu Jinyi waved his hand, and saw a person walk in outside, this person was short and dark-skinned, and he bowed his hand to everyone.
This person was not good-looking, and no one knew him at the scene, so they were all a little surprised.
"This brother's surname is Li, his name is Qing, he is from Banqiao Town, Mizhou, and has been a maritime merchant for generations, but now he has been forced to live by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he has come to take refuge in me...... Brother Li Qing, tell me about it. ”
Li Qing coughed, and then said: "Brother, I go back and forth between the Great Song Dynasty, Goryeo, and Japan, and I know that in the middle of the three kingdoms, there is an island country, whose name is Tamna. The island is vast and sparsely populated, and the army is weak......"
This Li Qing told the country of Tamna, only saying that the natives on the island were short and cowardly, and the island was rich in products, but did not mention that the island was incorporated into Goryeo seven or eight years ago.
"I want to occupy this island and establish a country on its own, if there is a gap in the Great Song Dynasty, we can attack the Central Plains and replace it, if the Great Song Dynasty is peaceful, we can retreat to this island and seek wealth by ourselves...... Whoever is willing to go with me, after taking this island, you may be given two hundred acres of land, one woman, and two native slaves...... Ladies and gentlemen, we are in Liangshanluo, there are no less robberies of boats and ships, and when we go to rob the sea ships, each of them is a rare treasure, as long as we rob one, our brothers can drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl for the rest of their lives! ”
If you want to call people to chaos, you must first disturb people's hearts. When Lu Jinyi's words came out, the thieves present felt justified.
Their knowledge and vision are limited, but they also understand that they are sitting on empty land here in Liangshan, and they will face the encirclement and suppression of the government at any time. If they can really establish themselves as a country overseas, live happily and happily, from time to time take a boat ashore to rob their children's gold and silk, or rob passing merchant ships at sea, it is exactly what they want.
Even if you don't want to live with blood on the tip of the knife anymore, you can get hundreds of acres of land, and you can be well-off for a long time if you have a female slave.
If there is a greater ambition, with the current tossing method of the Great Song Dynasty, sooner or later something will happen, and then everyone will counterattack the mainland again, and it may not be known if they will sit back and be crowned kings and marquises.
When Lu Jinyi started talking about Wang Lun, he deliberately said that he wanted to deal with Zhou Quan, but now, he didn't mention Zhou Quan at all.
After Lu Jinyi's words, everyone was buzzing and discussing, and Lu Jinyi heard all kinds of words, and he was still a little worried in his heart.
He quietly asked Yu Yang beside him: "Master Yu, do you think this can be done?" ”
"Brother, just rest assured, as long as we can get together two or three thousand people who are willing to do it, we can do this, didn't Brother Li Qing say it, the Tamluo people are short and cowardly, we can fight the three of them together!" Yu Yang said proudly.
He had already colluded with Lu Jinyi, and the matter of the fire and Wang Lun was his idea, and after Li Qing took refuge in Lu Jinyi, Lu Jinyi also asked him for advice, he was overjoyed at the time, and said that Lu Jinyi was moved to attack Tamluo on the grounds that "God will not give it to blame".
Lu Jinyi's life is not easy now, Zhou Quan's power is getting bigger and bigger, it is getting harder and harder for him to find Zhou Quan's revenge, and the world is catching documents at sea, chasing him everywhere, Zhou Quan directly gave his head a reward of 5,000 yuan, many of his old friends and old friends, looking at him strangely, as if he was a string of copper coins moving.
If it weren't for this, after the failure of the last Zhou Conference, he would have avoided far away, where would he dare to fight Zhou Quan.
Now that I finally have the opportunity, I will go overseas to claim the king, and if I am happy, I will go to Haizhou to find some trouble for Zhou Quan, I am not happy...... Continue to Haizhou to make trouble for Zhou Quan.
Lu Jinyi knew that there was a lesson from the past of Lashanzhai, and the people of Liangshan were not willing to really confront Zhou Quan, so he only lured him with profit and confused him, but did not mention Zhou Quan's revenge again.
"Brother Lu family, the younger brother is willing to go with you to that Tamna, but the younger brother has only one question, how far is Tamna Island from our Great Song Dynasty?"
"Yes, yes, not to mention the wind and waves at sea, how long will it take to get there by boat?"
"How many days did it take?" Almost at the same time that everyone was talking about Liangshanzhai, in the newly built seaport in Haizhou, Zhou Quan looked at Zhang Shun who was full of wind and frost and asked.
"It took four days to get over there because of a little tailwind, and it took eight days to come back against the wind!" Zhang Shun said with a smile.
Zhou Quan patted him on the shoulder, and then strode forward, a thin man grinned, and before he could speak, he gave a thumbs up: "Yanei, this soft sail is really usable, the wind makes it horizontal, the wind makes it longitudinal, and now I am already proficient in acting!" ”
This thin man is also a maritime merchant in Mizhou, surnamed Ping, and his single name is Xin, he saluted Zhou Quan respectfully, and then said: "When Yanai first took this ship with me, although I listened to Yanei on my face, I actually muttered in my heart, thinking that Yanai had never been to sea, how could I know about the sea. Now it seems that the Yanai is really smart and natural, after switching to soft sails, it is much more convenient to raise and lower the sails, and there are horizontal and vertical points, no matter whether it is downwind or wind, the boat is feasible, it is really ...... It's really ...... The villain is clumsy and stupid, and I really can't think of how to praise the wisdom of the yamani! ”
This guy looks honest, but in fact he is a shrewd man, and if he didn't do that, he wouldn't be a successful maritime merchant. Moreover, in the maritime business world, his family status is quite special, his grandfather Pingjian, as the secret envoy of Emperor Shenzong visited Goryeo, for which he was also given the official position of a third-class envoy.
It's just that in Pingxin's generation, the family is in the middle of the road, and even the sea ships are in disrepair because of age. He wanted to revitalize his family business, but Zhou Quan recruited sailors and captains who were proficient in navigation in Haizhou, and he came here to apply. Because of the more than ten voyages to Tamluo, it was reused by Zhou Quan.
A renovated ship of 1,000 materials was handed over to Pingxin.
The ship replaced the original hard sails with soft sails made of silk, the mast structure was changed, everything was improved towards a sea ship capable of large voyages, and pulley blocks were used. In order to improve the speed and safety of the boat, comfort and loading capacity are partially sacrificed. In terms of cargo, it is only half of the other 1,000-gauge ships, but the minimum number of sailors it needs has also been reduced to half of the rest of the 1,000-gauge ships.
What's more, whether it is downwind or upwind, it can rush to the wind, as long as the weather is not too bad, it can travel to and from the East China Sea, without having to wait for half a year to have a suitable wind direction like the old sea boats.
"Flat Boatmaster!" After asking carefully about the whole voyage, Zhou Quan said very solemnly.
"Here, just give orders in the ya!"
"Within three months, I will go to Tamna and my party, you see if there is a suitable time, there will be more than this one ship." Zhou Quan said.
"Of course, there have been many typhoons in the past two months, and the villain does not approve of going to sea in Yanai, but in September, ......" Pingxin gushed excitedly, and decided when to go to sea.
Wu Yang next to Zhou Quan wanted to speak and stopped, but he could only smile bitterly.
He knew that he couldn't persuade Zhou Quan, and even Zhou Fu no longer interfered in Zhou Quan's affairs after Zhou Quan's trip to Suzhou.
This son is too capable, and he, who is Lao Tzu, has gone from being proud and proud at the beginning, to being jealous and wanting to compare, and now he is willing to bow down and honestly give his son a good look at the kiln.
And Zhou Fu couldn't spare time.
Now Zhou Fu is already a very qualified technocrat, at least in the matter of how to build a kiln, he has far surpassed Zhou Quan. He is extremely proficient in all kinds of kilns, whether cement, glass, steel, or even ordinary brick kilns.
Especially in blast furnace iron smelting and steelmaking, he is now organizing manpower to make a technological breakthrough.
Wu Yang didn't say anything, but at this time, he heard someone on the side say timidly: "Yanei, Yanei ......"
