190, fire and merger
Jingshi, Taishi Cai Jingfu.
"It's terrifying!"
Cai Jing put down the paper in his hand and said with a smile.
This is a gift list, but the person who gave the gift was not Zhou Quan, but Zhu Mian.
Cai Jing introduced Zhu Chong and Zhu Mian's father and son to face the saint, the original intention was to consolidate his position in Zhao Ji's heart and obtain a powerful ally. However, Zhu Mian swelled with the rise of his status, and he had not given a gift to Cai Jing seriously for several years, but he just prepared some gifts that seemed to be expensive but were actually alienated during the New Year's Festival, and his consciousness was over.
But this gift list is surprisingly heavy!
Cai You also laughed next to him: "Count him interesting...... Able to bend and stretch. ”
"I said that the person who is really terrible is not Zhu Mian, but Zhou Quan! Compared with Zhou Quan, Zhu Mian has lived to a dog at an age, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself at all, and sooner or later he will kill himself! ”
Cai You muttered in his heart, not quite agreeing with his father's statement, in his opinion, Zhou Quan could easily use his strength to force Zhu Mian to hand over the shipwright, but he led people to attack, which was really extremely reckless and foolish.
"You'er, don't despise Zhou Quan, his move is right, since then, the southeast half of the wall knows his name!"
Cai Jing didn't elaborate, he wanted his son to think carefully about the deep meaning of Zhou Quan's move. Zhou Quan seems to have offended one more person, but in fact, the contradiction between him and Zhu Mian is irreconcilable, even if there is no move, they will inevitably be hostile to each other.
On the contrary, with this move, all those who want to calculate Zhou Quan in the future have to think about it, this person acts unreasonably, flips the table at every turn, to a certain extent, he is a madman, for a little profit, and the enemy of the madman, whether he is smart or not.
Another point is that this move can reduce the suspicion of officials.
Cai Jing knows the current emperor Zhao Ji very well, a courtier, too capable, and has a good reputation, so the official family will have trouble sleeping and eating. Many things about him Cai Jing are certainly in nature, but to a certain extent, they are also self-defiled.
Cai You has to think about these things by himself, and when this son understands it, he may be able to take his place.
"The matter of Huashigang, do you want children to be booked again?"
"No need, since Zhu Mian is interested in keeping some tails, Zhou Quan didn't expect us to sweep away the Huashi Gang...... It's strange to me, Xing'er wrote that Zhou Quan mentioned to him that he wanted to collect Qi Di Caokou and exile him overseas...... What does that mean? ”
"Shandong has had many robbers since ancient times, and it doesn't matter if he is exiled, he does a lot of business in Xuzhou and Haizhou, so he naturally doesn't like these grass robbers to get in the way."
"No, no, you're mistaken, you don't like grass to get in the way, you can be exiled to the frontier, why do you want to be exiled overseas......"
Cai Jing was quite puzzled by this issue, but since Zhou Quan mentioned this matter through Cai Xing, he also agreed to give it convenience.
Not only him, but also the forces that participated in the cotton cloth merchant land, all thought that Zhou Quan was to facilitate the promotion of cotton in Jingdong, so they also contributed.
Capital, once it forms a group to pursue profits, immediately shows its extremely terrifying power. The more than ten most powerful and wealthy families in the Great Song Dynasty joined forces, that is, the imperial power, and they also had to give up three points, not to mention that the imperial power itself was now temporarily in this alliance of forces.
As a result, the entire Jingdong and Jingdong roads quickly took action, and the officers and soldiers who were usually lazy and did not contribute began to clean up the grass under the urging of the generals of each family.
In just two or three months, thousands of thieves of all kinds were arrested, and then they were all stuffed to Haizhou.
Most of these "thieves" are mountain people and fishermen, who usually abide by the law and discipline, but when they have the opportunity, they will also attack lone pedestrians and merchants, and there are many of them, who are simply abducted and deceived. It is certainly wrong to say that they are innocent, but if they really have any great evil, except for a few people who have their lives at hand, it may not really be a big fault.
But when they arrived in Haizhou, they couldn't help it.
"As far as I know, after these people arrived in Haizhou, they were transported to Liandao, which is about ten miles from the land, even if they are good at swimming in the water, it is difficult to swim back, and there are officers and soldiers of the sailor division guarding it!"
In Liang Cottage, the top position, nicknamed "Rabbit" Wang Lun is on top of it, and his white face is not angry.
To his left was a tall, sturdy yellow-faced man with a cruel glint in his triangular eyes. This person's surname is Gao, his name is Hun, and his nickname is Gaojiao, who was originally a bandit in Yimeng Mountain, but now he was forced to leave Yimeng Mountain and put his loyal subordinates into Liangshan Cottage with his loyal subordinates.
On his right, he was one of Zhou Quan's acquaintances, He Shun, who killed the father and son of the Xiang family. Because he killed his uncle's relatives, he was also famous among the bandits in Shandong, and when he came to Touliang Cottage, he immediately got the position of the second leader, but then the tall leg came, and he automatically let Xian and gave up the position of the second leader to Gao Hun.
On the other side of He Shun, he is also an old opponent of Zhou Quan, although he has never met him: Yu Yang, the military advisor of the original Lashan Cottage, "Living Zhuge ". Shi He, the owner of Lashanzhai and he was separated in the chaotic army, Shi He had a big goal, and was chased by Zhou Fu into battle, but he took the opportunity to escape with his life, and took a batch of treasures captured from Pengcheng to join Liangshanzhai, because of the treasures, he got the position of military advisor again. Although his status was not as high as when he was in Lashanzhai, it also made him quite satisfied.
In front of them, the person standing on the top and talking eloquently was also an old acquaintance of Zhou Quan.
Lu Jinyi, Yan Xiaoyi!
"There are thousands of strong people gathered on just one island, and the people guarding the island are only hundreds. As long as we can get close to the island and scatter these hundreds, then these thousands will be all our brothers. ”
Lu Jinyi talked eloquently again, compared to when he was in Beijing, he was a little thinner, and his bones were more broad, and next to him, Yan Xiaoyi was silent, following like a shadow.
"You're right, but all this is meaningless, why should I go to confront Zhou Quan, this hungry tiger, eats people and doesn't spit out bones, we are good in Liangshanzhai, why do you want to provoke him?"
At the signal, a leader sitting on the other side of Gao stood up and questioned Lu Jinyi.
Dealing with Zhou Quan is too risky, and if there is not enough reason, no one will do it at all.
"In Shandong, the bandits are single-handedly troubled, everyone, he has made trouble so that you have no way to live, and now the heroes are wiped out, only the remaining Liang cottage is Zhou Quan's thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, do you think he will let you go?"
Jingdong two big and small thieves, basically have been exterminated, many people have nowhere to escape, so they came to Liangshanzhai, this half a year, the scale of Liangshanzhai has expanded fourfold, the people in the village, from the initial less than two thousand, to the present several sub-villages together nearly 10,000. In fact, the officers and soldiers also tried to suppress Liangshanzhai, just because the terrain of this village is not conducive to attacking, and there are many young and strong people in the village, so they dare not move lightly.
Anyway, although Wang Lun has nearly 10,000 people, he is not a bold person, and he is willing to stay in the mountains to farm and fish, and everyone lives in peace.
"Besides, do you all know about the West City?" Lu Jinyi said again.
The crowd was in an uproar.
Yang Jian, who made the back garden, wanted to get money, and Du Gongcai, the official of Xu, gave him a bad idea, saying that Zhao Ji would set up the Xicheng Office, which was specifically responsible for inspecting the public field. To put it bluntly, it is to nationalize all the wasteland that the common people have opened up over the years and the private land that has lost their deeds in mutual transactions.
Nominally, it was nationalized, but in fact it did not fall into the pockets of Yang Jian and others, and the only way for the people to get their fields back was to stuff money into the hands of the managers. When the manager gets the money, he naturally has to honor Yang Jian, and Yang Jian can sell favors to those wealthy families and receive another thank-you gift.
"The policy of including the field, there is Liang Shanluo, not only the cultivated land by the lake, but also the mountains, forests and lakes, all of which must be collected by the official, cut down a tree on the mountain, catch a fish in the lake, and have to pay taxes to the imperial court, you ...... Don't make a mistake! ”
As soon as this matter was spoken, the leaders of the village in this hall became agitated.
Like Lashanzhai, Liangshanzhai cannot gather everyone in one cottage, but includes islands in the lake, a large area of mountains by the lake, and there are more than 20 cottages, water villages and villages. These people rely on the mountains and rivers to eat, if they really nationalize these 800 miles of Liangshan and let them pay taxes, how can they be willing to do it because they are free by nature!
"Quiet, quiet!" Seeing that there was a lot of discussion around him, Wang Lun signaled a few times, but everyone was still arguing, and he had to get up and shout, and then he calmed down.
Wang Lun felt a little bad in his heart.
He has no ambitions, it is enough to be a local tyrant in the cottage, and Lu Jinyi also dislikes him. Therefore, when Lu Jinyi did anything to catch the weekly conference last time, he ignored it, and it turned out that he was right.
"Have you ever thought that if it is really a matter, it will be a rebellion, and the officers and soldiers did not come to suppress us before because we have not yet raised the flag...... Rebellion is a business of raiding homes and killing heads, that is, as he said, if you succeed in taking Liandao and even Haizhou, what can you do? Shi He of Lashanzhai also captured Pengcheng, but the result was not a dead clan, and not even a whole corpse was left behind...... Brothers, I am the owner of the village, and I can't let your brothers' lives be at risk...... Yes! ”
Wang Lun was waving his hand to speak, and behind him, Gao Hun got up, suddenly pulled out his waist knife, and stabbed it in from behind.
The knife pierced Wang Lun's back and pierced through his chest, Wang Lun was about to speak, felt pain in his chest, looked down, and then screamed.
Gao Hun kicked Wang Lun over, ignoring the one who had not completely lost his breath, and held a bloody knife: "I'm fed up with this unplanted soft goods, everyone, the officials forced the people to rebel, and the people had to rebel, I would like to serve Brother Lu as the owner of the village, but it's reversed!" ”
The Yimeng horse thieves who originally came with him all jumped up and shouted in unison: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!" ”
Yu Yang took Yu Dang from Lashanzhai to dance wildly, shouting: "On the contrary, Brother Lu is the owner of the village!" ”
He Shun's face turned pale, he looked left and right, and saw that someone had already waved his blade and killed Wang Lun's cronies, and some of them were murderous and pressed towards him, he suddenly jumped up: "On the contrary, I am also willing to respect Brother Lu Jinyi as the owner of the village!" ”
