Lu Yunbiao sat comfortably on the Taishi chair, and Xie Xiaomei was rubbing his shoulders beside him. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)
Lu Yunbiao was originally a blacksmith in the village, relying on his ancestral iron-making skills to live, and the money he earned was able to support his family, but the situation changed dramatically in the first year of Qianfu.
Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao began to rebel, and the government suddenly increased the intensity and amount of tax collection, saying that it was an order from the imperial court that it was necessary to exterminate the rebels, and that the war required a lot of expenses, and this money could only be borne by the common people, and such measures directly led to the difficulty of living for the people in the village.
Lu Yunbiao was naturally also affected, and in the second year of Qianfu, he couldn't make any money, and his family couldn't sustain himself, so he fled with his family, like other people in the village, to avoid the exploitation and arrest of soldiers by the government.
It's a pity that in the era of war and chaos, the situation is the same everywhere, on the way to escape, the old father who has always been in good health died, and the mother also left because of too much grief, and the two old people did not have the opportunity to return to their hometowns.
Since then, Lu Yunbiao's personality has changed greatly, hating the government and hating Yiqiē.
Lu Yunbiao, who has been following his father since he was a child, has a brute force, he used his strength to bewitch among the homeless, and in a few words and a few actions, he called on hundreds of people to do the work of robbing homes and houses, and began to fight against the government.
A few years have passed, bumps and bumps along the way, because he is not afraid of death, Lu Yunbiao actually made a name for himself and finally gained a foothold in Guanzhuang Town, Qingyuan County, which belongs to Bazhou.
After becoming famous, many people came to join, and more than 1,000 people gathered before and after.
Lu Yunbiao's base camp, 20 miles away from Guanzhuang Town, in the mountains, here is at the junction of Wuling County and Qingyuan County, the official road passes through here, it is a traffic artery, from the scope of territorial jurisdiction, this belongs to the dark area under the lights, and the two counties basically will not care.
Lu Yunbiao's own su zhì is not high, and the people under him are naturally uneven, and it is impossible for him to restrain these people, so his reputation is not very good, and many people know that there is a gang of bandits near Guanzhuang Town, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, and doing all kinds of bad things.
There are too many people, you have to take care of eating, drinking, and Lazar, and it is impossible for Lu Yunbiao to ignore it completely, his ability is limited, and one person can't lead so many people, so there are several small leaders among the bandits.
Lu Yunbiao has the "Four King Kongs" under him, namely Hou Er, Yang Si, Huang Biao and Song Hu, of which Hou Er is a military advisor, specializing in giving advice and advice, always by Lu Yunbiao's side, and the other three have become small leaders second only to Lu Yunbiao and Hou Er, each leading hundreds of people, scattered around the cottage.
The Bazhou Prefecture Ya and Wuling County and Qingyuan County Ya have also sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times, and the sergeants sent by him are all typical soldiers, and these officers and soldiers are called bandits, but they are actually harassing the people, burning, killing, and looting are even worse than bandits.
Seeing this, the people around Guanzhuang Town have despaired of the officials and soldiers, and Yu Chenghui, a former member of the Ministry of Rites who was calculated to return to Guanzhuang Town in the court, simply came forward to reach an agreement with Lu Yunbiao to pay tribute to Lu Yunbiao every year, requiring that Lu Yunbiao could not rob the people of Guanzhuang Town, and they were willing to feed Lu Yunbiao, which was better than serving the officials and soldiers.
It's just that the people have to bear the taxes of the imperial court, and they also have to send money and food to Lu Yunbiao, and their lives are even more miserable.
Because the local area is "peaceful", the Bazhou Prefecture Ya, Wuling County, and Qingyuan County Ya are too lazy to ask Lu Yunbiao, the bandits.
After several robberies, Lu Yunbiao already has five mothers-in-law who have been robbed over the years, all of whom have been robbed over the years, among which Xie Xiaomei is quite good-looking and has a gentle personality, which is deeply liked by Lu Yunbiao.
Song Hu, who was five big and three thick, walked into the Juyi Hall and opened his mouth to Lu Yunbiao with his fists in his fists.
"The owner of the village, the brothers have been idle for a long time, and they all want to go to Guanzhuang Town to have a look, and the money and food have not been sent yet, so they just happened to urge Yu to go outside."
"Song Hu, didn't Hou Er say it, there is nothing big, don't go to Guanzhuang Town, since the cottage has been discussed with Guanzhuang Town, if you have something to say, it's better not to go casually."
"The brothers didn't go to rob them, and hundreds of brothers under a certain subordinate held back for more than a month, and they all shouted to go out to have a look, and after a long time, they didn't dare to guarantee that they wouldn't make trouble in the cottage."
"The brothers in the village are used to being wild, and now they are all holding back, Yang Si and Huang Biao are also clamoring to go out, it's not a matter to go on like this, you have to discipline it well, Hou Er told you a long time ago, if the brothers want to gain a foothold here, if they want to have food and wine to drink, they must be restrained, and some things cannot be done."
Lu Yunbiao was a little embarrassed, because of his lack of ability, he was almost obedient to Hou Er.
Song Hu looked at Lu Yunbiao's expression, and his heart was very unhappy, you Lu Yunbiao is the leading brother, and the brothers must listen to you, but you can't enjoy it alone, there are five women around you, all of them are spiritual, but there are so many brothers, there are many women, how can you hold back after a long time, you are always in the cottage, the anger cannot be vented, after a long time, something will happen sooner or later.
Besides, that Hou Er, who is neither yin nor yang, Song Hu is uncomfortable looking at it, but he doesn't dare to offend, after all, Lu Yunbiao trusts Hou Er very much, and he obeys his words, and Hou Er really has the ability, if he offends Hou Er and provokes Lu Yunbiao's temper, who knows what will happen.
"The owner of the village, you will approve XX's request, let the brothers go out for a walk, and XX will guarantee that there will be no problems."
Lu Yunbiao fell into contemplation, he also has his own considerations, Yang Si, Huang Biao and Song Hu and others are all very strong, and it is also a guarantee that he can sit firmly in the cottage, if these people are too restricted, causing dissatisfaction and separating people's hearts, I am afraid that the cottage will be unsustainable.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yunbiao nodded.
"Okay, Song Hu, you have always treated the brothers well, and you are quite measured, so I won't say much, take the brothers to go early and return early, don't make trouble in Guanzhuang Town."
"Thank you, owner."
Song Hu left the Juyi Hall with an excited face and hurriedly went out.
Xie Xiaomei, who was behind Lu Yunbiao, twitched on her face, she knew too well what these people were doing when they went down the mountain.
Song Hu had just gone out for a while when Hou Er came in.
Seeing Hou Er coming in, Xie Xiaomei immediately got up and left, every time Hou Er came, the women around Lu Yunbiao had to be avoided, because between Lu Yunbiao and Hou Er, there were important things to discuss, and women couldn't listen.
Hou Er's face didn't have any expression, and he didn't even glance at Xie Xiaomei.
Hou Er's prestige in the cottage is not ordinary, it is no worse than Lu Yunbiao, the success of every action in the cottage has condensed Hou Er's hard work, if there is no Hou Er's planning, the cottage would have been unable to maintain for a long time, but Hou Er's personality is a little weird, which makes people feel yin and yang, so in the cottage, there are almost no bosom friends.
"Hou Er, is there something wrong?"
"The owner of the village, I saw that Song Hu had come, and when he left, he was full of interest, was he ready to go down the mountain?"
Lu Yunbiao's face was not very good-looking in an instant, but he still suppressed his temper.
"The brothers haven't gone down the mountain for a long time, they are about to suffocate, Yang Si and Huang Biao have said it, there is no permission, Song Hu is more cautious, take the brothers down the mountain, it will not cause anything, besides, the filial piety of Guanzhuang Town has not been sent, Song Hu went to see the urging, it is not a big deal."
Hou Er sighed and spoke slowly.
"The owner of the village misunderstood, it is not that the brothers can't go out, the filial piety of Guanzhuang Town has not been sent, you can go and urge it, but the cottage and Guanzhuang Town have words first, you have to do it according to what you say, otherwise the cottage is not easy to stand, the brothers have held back for so long, after going down, I am afraid that some things will be provoked, and the face will not look good at that time."
As soon as Hou Er finished speaking, Lu Yunbiao spoke.
"Damn, what's the big deal, even if the brothers go down and leak, they don't dare to ......"
Hou Er's face, there was still no expression, looking at Lu Yunbiao silently, but this is also the most annoyed and weak place for Lu Yunbiao, Hou Er often said that the cottage should expand the scale of the exhibition, and there must be a certain foresight and so on, these are not the things that Lu Yunbiao pursues, life in the world, it is the situation of so many decades, the war is chaotic, you should enjoy it, you don't know anything when you close your eyes, the money you earn is enjoyed by others, and the woman you grab let others sleep, then it is not cost-effective, Lu Yunbiao doesn't have any big ambitions, as long as he can live every day happily, he will be satisfied.
"Hou Er, you understand what you mean, I want to find a good way out for my brothers, but the power of the cottage is not good, that is, there are more than a thousand people, what big things can be done."
This time, Hou Er did not continue to be silent.
"The owner of the village, the heroes in the troubled times, don't look at the current strength of the cottage is not very good, being able to get the support of Guanzhuang Town is the biggest harvest of the cottage, which is equivalent to the cottage controlling Guanzhuang Town, and the power of the government in Guanzhuang Town is not as good as the cottage, I think don't worry, take your time, you will definitely be able to unfold, besides, the Huangchao rebellion, from the first year of Qianfu to the sixth year, the world knows, the owner of the village is not without opportunities."
Although Hou Er was still talking bitterly, Lu Yunbiao's attention had already begun to shift, he stood up and walked a few steps, expressing his feelings that he didn't want to continue listening.
When Lu Yunbiao turned his back, a trace of coldness flashed in Hou Er's eyes.
When Lu Yunbiao turned around, Hou Erhui was calm, still expressionless.
"Hou Er, you understand what you mean, next time you will definitely tell your brothers, don't worry."
"The owner of the village, I just said that Yu was a court official before, and he had a lot of influence in Guanzhuang Town, Qingyuan County and Bazhou, if the brothers caused something in Guanzhuang Town, it was really difficult to explain."
Lu Yunbiao reluctantly squeezed out a smile and nodded, his feeling towards Hou Er was getting worse and worse, but this dissatisfaction could only be temporarily hidden in his heart, he was the owner of the village, but many of the things in the cottage were decided by Hou Er.
