Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

There will always be many trials in life, and this time the test is more severe.

Of course, Mao Geng didn't have the courage to refuse, even the Great Song Dynasty government was popular to kill the powerful stick, not to mention the owner of the village with a full face of flesh to tell you about human rights. Presumably, this is the case for many scholars to fall into the grass, and if you don't follow it, you have to follow it, and then let you kill a few people as a vote, and you will rebel against the king of the mountain.

However, if Mao Geng wants to accept it happily, he is very unwilling for a while. Xindao These people have tried their best to get themselves, and they won't click on themselves without saying a word.

Mao Geng was already stumbling when he spoke, but now he was so frightened that he stammered:

"Lai --- Lord Lai, Xiao Ke--- that is a shallow learner, and he should not be --- that military advisor."

The thin monkey still had a smiling face and said:

"Mr. Mao doesn't have to be humble, Yuelu Academy and Anhua County School are vying to invite you, if it weren't for Mr. Mao's high ability, how could the dignified Yuelu Academy be able to invite each other lightly! Mr. Mao doesn't have to excuse himself, since we have invited Mr. Mao to come, and we have inquired in advance, does Mr. Mao think that I can find a random person to be a military advisor in my dignified village! ”

In the end, this guy seems to have a righteous and strict tone, but it seems that Mao Geng is at fault. Mao Gengxin said that the eyeliner of this lord is so powerful, but it should not be underestimated.

Mao Geng had no choice but to be silent.

When the thin monkey saw this, he persuaded again:

"Mr. Mao, let me first take you to see the military might of my lord, after seeing it, you will understand that sooner or later my lord will win the world. Hehe, the lord of the mountain takes a fancy to you, please be a military advisor, count your luck. ”

The lord with bird feathers on his head nodded, and the thin monkey immediately made a look, and the two barbarians walked out with Mao Geng on both sides, and walked to an open ground, which can be regarded as a martial arts arena for these people.

I saw two or three hundred young men with their chests exposed, each holding a sword, gun, sword and halberd, and posing in a phalanx, with a murderous aura, but also had its own momentum.

The Skinny Monkey said:

"How? Mr. Mao, this is just a team of people in this village, if the team gathers, the momentum, gongs and drums are noisy, flags are displayed, swords and guns are like a forest, hehe, I am afraid that Mr. Mao will be scared. ”

Mao Geng was surprised, not because he was surprised by this battle, but because he was surprised that these guys didn't know the height of the sky, and it was really ridiculous that such a barbarian soldier still wanted to rebel and win the world.

However, this murderous battle made Mao Geng's heart chill, people can't rebel, but killing someone is like killing a chicken. In the face of these barbarians who can't be speculated by common sense, how dare they show a little disdain, and in panic, Mao Geng squeezed out a sentence from between his trembling teeth:

"Lord Yu--- that soldier is strong and strong, Xiao Ke admires --- that one tightly."

Here are all Yungui ponies that cannot be put on the stage, which is really far from the majestic horses that Mao Geng saw in the film and television in later generations. Besides, in the future, to make a decent war movie, there will be more than 1,000 extras, and two or three hundred people are embarrassed to boast! But when you are in danger, you can only praise it against your will.

The lord was very satisfied with Mao Geng's abused expression, and his face was colorful, and the thin monkey took the opportunity to wave:

"How? Mr. Mao, after seeing the momentum of my Dazhai, this time I am full of energy! Sue sΓΉ you, follow the lord, eat fragrant, drink spicy, full of majesty, and fight the world in the future, imitating Jiang Ziya and Zhuge Kongming as the prime minister of my king, Mr. Mao was rich and noble at that time, but don't forget to say these good words! ”。

Mao Geng smiled bitterly in his heart, damn, you thin monkey forced Lao Tzu to fall into the grass, do you know that there is no grass in the Southern Song Dynasty that is a finished instrument, just with this strength, it may be that Song Ting is too lazy to take care of you and want to rebel, it is really a long life! There is something wrong with the tendons of this bullshit master, so I won't go to death with you guys.

A scar-faced man next to the lord saw that Mao Geng was slow to answer, and he was annoyed at the moment, his eyebrows were raised, and he pulled out a bright knife with a whoosh, and shouted:

"Who dares not to know how to lift, don't talk nonsense with him! You say, from or not from, from, a qiΔ“ is good to say, not from, a dead end. ”

The guy pulled out a head, leaned on the blade, opened his mouth and blew out, his head broke off in response, and then turned the knife over, and said in a cold voice:

"I haven't drunk blood for a long time, it is said that smart people have a seven-trick exquisite heart, I am very curious, but I want to take it out to see, whether it is or not! Mr. Mao, how? To put it bluntly, never to follow or not to follow? ”

When this person drew his knife, Mao Geng was already timid in his heart, and the thin monkey saw that the intimidation effect had been achieved, so he deliberately eased the atmosphere:

"Mr. Mao, don't blame the leader for being angry, we specially invited Mr. Mao to come over, Mr. Mao can't help but give face. Don't hide it from Mr. Mao, when Mr. Mao arrives here, don't think that someone will come to save you, hehe, no one will know that you are in our hands, besides, even if you know, who dares to find our main person! Mr. Mao, the person who knows the times is Junjie, I don't want to see Mr. Mao's blood splashed on the spot. From or not, has Mr. Mao thought about it? ”

At this time, Mao Geng was still allowed to refuse, and at the moment Mao Geng could only sigh in his heart and nodded indifferently.

Then he thought that this so-called military advisor was also among the evils, so he declared:

"Xiao Ke--- that talent is limited, and he is not familiar with Dazhai, and he is not a military advisor, Xiao Ke can try to --- the one who comes up with an idea first, if it is useful, how about it later?"

When the three of them saw Mao Geng's statement, they were from it, and it was not good to force each other too much, anyway, when they arrived here, after a long time, as long as they got into the water, they couldn't help Mao Geng.

After two days, Mao Geng did not show any trouble, it seems that the outside world does not know where he is going, and it is hopeless to hope for rescue for the time being, and in desperation, there is only another way.

In the past two days, the thin monkey Xiang Yixuan really regarded Mao Geng as a future military advisor, and introduced the situation here to Mao Geng little by little.

It turns out that this is not a Lai family village, but Qu Jiatong, the head of the bird feather is named Qu Laisan, Qu Jiatong is only six hundred, so-so can get together five hundred weapons, as for the armor, can be called iron armor only three pairs, the others are rattan armor.

Qu Jiatong does not make a living from farming, Qu Laisan has been smuggling tea for many years, and Qu Jiatong relies on this way of smuggling tea to survive.

The tea of the Song Dynasty implemented the law of tea purchasing, that is, the tea was monopolized by the government, but there were policies and countermeasures, and tea smuggling was repeatedly prohibited. Since Cai Jing reformed the tea law, the government has used guΓ² tea to manage tea, and the sale and inspection of tea have been very strict, making smuggling difficult.

Just because the government has a contract book when printing and selling tea, Jingshi Tea and the contract fields of various states and counties inspect and recycle tea according to the contract book. The tea business is the only selling agency, and making tea privately is a capital offense.

In addition, even the cage is customized by the government, and the inscription number is smoked with a fire mark after it is made to prevent forgery. After the tea seller buys the tea, the tax officer gives a special cage to buy tea from the tea house and sell it. The size of the cage is customized, "if the manufacturing is not as good as the law, the staff is eighty, and the one who increases the size of the staff is one hundred." "Guests sell tea with a private cage cane of eighty, if the loss is high, add two grades."

Cai Jing's set of activities can be described as quite strict, although it cannot eradicate tea smuggling, but the scale of smuggling is at most a small fight. The smuggling scale is large, and it will soon be revealed. It can be said that this monopoly method ensures that the government receives a considerable amount of tea tax every year. If it is a large-scale smuggling of tea, the intensity of the Great Song Dynasty's crackdown is absolutely unambiguous. Qu Laisan's smuggling of tea is no longer a petty fight, it has already had the nature of smuggling by force, if it weren't for the court's leniency in smuggling standards for the Yao people, I am afraid that Qu Laisan would have been blacklisted long ago.

This is a road of no return, and if it continues to be smuggled like this, Qu Laisan will eventually become the target of the imperial court's extermination, so Qu Laisan will also be opposed, and if he is not opposed, he will also be opposed.

This Qu Laisan is not sick in the brain, I am afraid that he also knows that he is destined to have a good end, so he simply started the idea of rebellion, but it is a pity that this strength is really pitiful, it is okay to stay in the mountains, if he goes out of the mountains, he will be extinguished by the Great Song Dynasty in a few days.

I can't accompany them to the funeral, first, I have to find a way to let the Su family, the Fu family, and the Dun family know that they were kidnapped by Qu Jiatong, and the Su family has always been influential among the Yao people, or Qu Jiatong also wants to sell the face of the Su family. As for whether to let the government know, Mao Geng thought, if Xu Xianling learned that he was tied to Qu Jiatong, would he be afraid that the Qu family was a Yao person and cast a rat trap, well, it is also possible to sacrifice himself, and officials never pay attention to moral principles in the face of gains and losses.

In any case, this has to let the three Sufuton families know their whereabouts.

In this mountain, what is the way to spread the news?

On this day, Mao Geng finally had an idea.

Xiang Yixuan heard that Mao Geng had a plan to sacrifice to the lord of Qu Tong, so he immediately took Mao Geng to Qu Laisan's Dazhai Hall.

When Lord Qu Tong heard Mao Geng's initiative, he smiled, thinking that this Mr. Mao had been convinced by now, so he asked cordially:

"What is the good strategy of Master Mao, please advise!"

Oops, even the military advisor is called! In fact, Qu Laisan is a smuggler, and he was still sober when he was a smuggler, but he was called around by the lord of the mountain over the years, and his ambition swelled, so he didn't know what his surname was.

Mao Geng said:

"The lord of the mountain called the military advisor in the lower ---, and he didn't dare to be ashamed! I --- here for four or five days, and I knew a little about the situation of the lord of Dazhai, and I felt that what the lord of the mountain wanted to do at the moment was nine words. ”

"Oh, which nine words? Please Mr. Mao teach me. This guy is very thoughtful.

"Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down to become king." , Zhu Sheng's nine-character mantra to Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Geng actually wanted to change it to "build a high wall, accumulate grain, and not be called the king." But Mao Geng is not naΓ―ve enough to get to that Cheng dΓΉ.

"How do you say those nine words?" , the nine words are very mysterious, of course the lord doesn't understand.

"At present, the strength of the lord is not enough, and he should be lying on his salary to taste his courage, temporarily patient, and accumulate strength, with all due respect, with Dazhai's grain and grass, if you want to succeed, you can't even make a --- that success. It is necessary to wait until three or five years have passed, when the soldiers have enough food and drink, and they can make a living. This 'building a high wall' means taking a defensive position; 'accumulating grain' means making money first, and only when you have money can you recruit troops and horses; 'slowing down the king' means not provoking the government for the time being. Therefore, I feel that the lord should act --- that low-key for a period of time in the future, and the tea merchant may wish to let him go for the time being, so as not to alarm the government. ”

Xiang Yixuan said:

"Didn't Mr. Mao say that he wanted to make money first! This tea merchant business is to make money, if the tea merchant's income is cut off, I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain, where can I still recruit troops? There's something wrong with that. ”

"This nine-character strategy should be based on one --- and that business, if the lord starts this business --- that one, everything will be done." , Mao Geng touched his nose, fortunately he didn't touch beads of sweat, although this fooling people had to do it, he was still nervous.

"What do you do for a living?" , even the left collar surnamed Pan became curious.

"This business is the business of making bricks and boards." , Mao Geng threw his own bait.

"What's the matter with bricks?" , or the surname Pan is asking.

"It's bricks, but this kind of brick is not as thick as green bricks, so it's called slab bricks. After this brick is made, the first can be used to build a high wall, a high wall, is to keep the cottage, can hold the cottage can say something else, this brick is an excellent weapon to defend the village, the brick is invincible, as long as a brick is in hand, no matter how good the person is, I am afraid that this brick will be patted. As the saying goes, once the bricks come out, there is no competition. ”

Mao Geng was immersed in the situation of the big bricks of the forum in later generations, no matter who the great god on the forum, nothing else can be indifferent, but the bricks can't be indifferent, the bricks are patted, and even the gods have to retreat. Of course, this brick is different from the other brick, Mao Geng actually thinks that he wants to fool the people here to burn the bricks - that is, red bricks, smuggling tea is a head-killing thing, burning red bricks makes money legally through labor, with their own guidance, the bricks burn fast and well, and the cost is low, and the bricks will be sold well. Then no matter how dull the Su family, the Fu family, and the Dun family are, they can also know that this must be a method behind their backs, and then, they will be saved.

Mao Geng faced the three pairs of eyes that were a little unresponsive, and continued:

"There is a way to make bricks quickly and well, and you can make money. I asked under the question, the green brick costs eight cents a piece, three bricks can be used as a green brick, a brick only needs to be sold for two cents, a day to burn 20,000 bricks, is forty yuan, a steady income of more than 20 yuan, a month is 600 yuan. If you fire twice as many bricks, it is not difficult to earn 2,000 yuan a month. The bricks were made legally, and there was no longer a need to risk smuggling tea, so that the government would no longer regard Qu Jiatong as a thorn in its side. The lord can easily count the money every day, and he no longer needs to worry about the government soldiers. As the saying goes, as soon as the bricks come out, the financial resources are widespread, and the four realms are safe. ”

Mao Geng's personality exploded at this time, and he took out the forum irrigation magic skill, and he didn't even stutter at all in this paragraph.

Xiang Yixuan was a little confused and asked:

"To burn so many bricks, how many brick kilns to burn these many bricks, Mr. Mao, a brick to burn for many days, but also to keep watering, just the brick kiln, that must be built a hundred brick kilns!"

"Bricks are fired under the bricks, and there is no need for a brick kiln. In addition, this brick is not cyan, the brick is red, with a murderous aura, and the brick is very handy, because this brick can not only build a city, but also kill the enemy, 'the brick is invincible' is the reason. ”

When Mao Geng was working and studying in his previous life, he had seen the set of red bricks fired by the bunker brick kiln, and the brick kiln was saved. Although the bunker-style brick kiln consumes energy, it is better than trouble, and it can quickly and mass-fire red bricks, which was an ideal sideline in the countryside in the 70s. But now Mao Geng wants to use this project as Qu Jiadong's main business, alas! Now, in order to get out as soon as possible, I can't take care of so much.
