Chapter 37: Heated Debate

Although Song Jiang has a great reputation, he is just relying on his family wealth and fame with money, and he doesn't have much ability.

Wu Yong saw that Ximenqing had changed his face and behaved aggressively, and the thought in his heart turned around, first buttoning a hat for Ximenqing, and getting off the horse. So he got up and shouted, "Brother Siquan, where is this righteous hall?" Let Chao Tianwang not die, all the brothers are here, which turn is your turn to be high and shouting? Why don't you get off that platform soon? What kind of system is such a noise? ”

saw Ximenqing's wrist flipped, and the wooden hammer in his hand hit the table hard, the sound was deafening and terrifying, blocking all the remaining words of Wu Yong's heart in his throat. Ximen Qing squinted at Wu Yong, and said coldly: "Mr. Fake Liang, this high platform has a famous hall, called the round table discussion, when I designed the round table in this righteous hall, I made it clear to the king of heaven - if there is hesitation in the cottage, this round table is the platform for resolution." Today, as the proposer of the event, I stand on this high platform and set a precedent for our Liangshan Roundtable! - Mr. Fake Liang, please retire for the time being, and replace Brother Gongming to speak! ”

Wu Yong was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Chao Gai, but saw Chao Gai touching his head and said, "What Brother Siquan said is true!" True! It turns out that this high platform can still be used for this? It's unexpected......"

Hearing Chao Gai admit it, Wu hated it in his heart: "What a big deal is this, Brother Chao Gai didn't even discuss it with me?" ”

In fact, when Ximenqing was just picking no one that day, he casually mentioned it lightly in front of Chao Gai, Chao Gai was careless, and he didn't take it seriously to his heart, so he was mixed up.

Although Wu Yong's yin trick did not succeed, Song Jiang finally relieved himself with his help, and immediately settled down and strengthened his courage, so he smiled at Ximen Qing on the high platform in the middle: "Brother Siquan, you are also anxious!" Yes, this discussion of the private salt and salt road is indeed after careful consideration by the junior brother and the military advisor before they spoke to Brother Chao Gai. It must be known that now my Liangshan population is large, but the money and food are short, although there is a brother your clever plan to solve the urgent need for a while, but after all, you have to plan for the future, think of a long-term strategy. Therefore, the little brother and the military advisor are planning to open up a private salt trade route outside the brother warehouse development bureau jihua, which will have the effect of picking up the missing and making up for the gap! ”

When all the heroes in the righteous hall heard this, most of them were confused, and they couldn't figure out what the so-called private salt road was all about, but they just looked at Song Jiang on the left and Ximen Qing on the right, worried that when the two of them quarreled too much, it would inevitably damage the righteousness between the brothers.

But seeing that Ximen Qing reined in his edge, he calmly hugged his fists at Chao Gai and said: "The younger brother is angry in his heart, and his temperament is anxious, so he can't help but speak loudly, disturbing the Juyi Hall, and I hope that the brother of the king of heaven will forgive his sins." ”

Chao Gai looked at each other left and right and smiled, waved his hand: "The Siquan brothers are also polite, flying and brave, it is the true character of my generation of heroes, why do you need to forgive your sins?" ”

Ximenqing nodded, turned to Song Jiang again, and said: "Brother Gongming, I know that you are open-minded and think about the great cause of the cottage, but this discussion of private salt and salt roads has not seen its advantages, and it has seen its disadvantages first!" ”

Song Jiangwu listened to it, and said in unison: "How can you see it? Song Jiang's tone was flat, just a question; Wu Yong's tone was already displeased, and he was simply questioning.

Ximen Qing said: "The discussion of the two elder brothers on the salt road was originally intended to open up financial resources for my Liangshan. But as soon as this proposal came out, it was equivalent to snatching food from the tiger's mouth, and how many heroes and heroes on the two roads of Jingdong were offended in one fell swoop? I think that my Liangshan has just risen in Shandong, so I am so domineering, how to do such an unpopular thing? Think again! ”

When Wu Yong heard this, he first daxiao: "Haha, I only said that the Siquan brothers have some high opinions, but it turns out to be such a roundabout!" Brother, you must know that today's shijie is the law of the jungle, and my Liangshan is rising today, so it should be smooth sailing, and it will be right to get a vote! If you miss this time of good luck, I'm afraid it's too late to regret it! Brothers, please think, what do we do? It's a robber! What I eat is this bowl of rice, now I want people to have people, I want to be strong, and if I don't rush to snatch out the clothes and rice in the future, will it not be possible for the big guys to beg for food in the future? Profiteering from private salt, if our brothers monopolize this Shandong road, the land will be full of gold and silver, only now! But it's not better than Brother Siquan, how many things do you have in that store? ”

Ximenqing retorted: "Mr. Fake Liang's words are wrong! The weak eat the strong, and the real beasts are also! If I am a man who is better than an animal, can I do what an animal does, and be not ashamed, but proud? Today's Liangshan, the reason why it is powerful in Shandong, is precisely because the brothers take righteousness as the first, do not take the wealth at all, do what righteousness should do, and do not avoid life and death. If once he gains power, he puts the righteousness of the rivers and lakes in the back of his mind, and only cares about the whale swallowing the crocodile for profit, won't it make the heroes of the world cold and the brothers in the village centrifugal? At that time, the strong enemy was outside, and the brothers were sluggish inside, only afraid of the decline of Liangshan, right now! What else do you say, the house is full of gold and silver? ”

Song Jiang interjected: "Brother Siquan, you have said it! On our Shandong road, the road of private salt circulation is not unified for a day, and the disputes will continue day by day. Little brother, if I have the heart and powerlessness to pay back, but now I have the help of my Liangshan group of tiger and wolf-like brothers, it is a good time to seek welfare and settle disputes for the heroes on the Shandong Road. Isn't this a great achievement? This is a righteous thing, and it can make money, so why don't we do it? ”

Ximen Qing protested: "Brother said the opposite! Now on the Shandong Road, the heroes who sell smuggled salt from all walks of life are indeed independent, not subordinate to each other, although there are fights, but they are only small fights, if the brother wants to stand up to mediate, then it's okay, but now it is to use the name of mediation to embezzle the road of smuggling salt, how can you hide it from the world's discerning people? Now the heroes and heroes who sell smuggled salt from all walks of life have been gathered, headed by Zhujiazhuang, secretly preparing to compete with my Liangshan. What is the immeasurable merit? ”

Wu Yong sneered: "Brother Siquan's words don't seem to be said by a good man on the road. We have more than 10,000 elite soldiers in Liangshan, and how many elite generals have been trained in the martial arts hall, can we just nest in the water pool and become moldy? Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a day, this is the principle of the ages. Why use soldiers? Isn't it just for profit? The benefits of private salt, all industries are the most, this salt is not disputed, what is the benefit? Today, all the smuggled salt dealers gather together to make it difficult for me to fight against Liangshan, it is the courage of the heavens, as long as we unite as one and defeat them in one fell swoop, the great cause will inevitably be accomplished! ”

Song Jiang also helped: "That's exactly what you said! How can blood be sprinkled every year, as if blood is sprinkled in a year? As long as we settle the situation in Liangshan, break the rabble, and unify the private salt road in Shandong, then open the city of favor, and the heroes on the rivers and lakes will be able to understand our painstaking loneliness! ”

Ximenqing shook his head and said: "Brother Gongming and Mr. Fake Liang, it's easy to talk about this use of soldiers!" Brother Xiao Rang, Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" has a saying - where the teacher is, thorns are born. After the great army, there will be a fierce year - how about I ask my brother to explain this to all the brothers? ”

Xiao Rang, a scholar of the Holy Hand, was stunned for a moment when he heard Ximen Qing call his name, stood up and pointed to his nose and said, "Me? Oh! Oh! Where the division is, thorns are born. After the great army, there will be a fierce year, which means that the place where the army passes through during the war will be covered with thorns and thorns. What about weishenme? Because of the confrontation between the two armies, the flesh and blood flying, and the men trampling on the horses, the land will be covered with blood and mud, and nothing will grow except for stubborn weeds such as thorns. As for the army after it, there will be a fierce year, please think, if you fight, you will die! In wartime, if you only seek one victory, where can you take care of burying the dead, and the corpses of the dead will rot there, and there will inevitably be a plague, one of them; The two armies clashed in the wilderness, trampled on the fertile land, and destroyed the crops, which would inevitably lead to a grain harvest. Confrontation and killing, there is harm to the heavens and peace, will be disliked by the ghosts and gods, then all kinds of disasters will fall, or hail, or drought, etc., etc., and so on and so on - that's why Lao Tzu said that after the army, there will be a fierce year, and Sun Tzu also said, the soldiers who surrender without a fight are also good people! ”

All the heroes in the righteous hall listened, they were all happy, and secretly said that this Xiao Rang brother is really interesting, since Lao Tzu has spoken, is there still room for his grandson to speak? How is this generation organized? But the general meaning, everyone still understands.

Ximenqing said at this time: "Brothers, please think, our Liangshan, just on the right track, the beginning of food, the beginning of the trade route, if there is a war at this time, it is like planting a small tree, but to shake its roots, pull its branches and leaves, can this small tree still grow?" At that time, when the soldiers were in conflict, how could they be relieved suddenly? The fields that I have been in the four corners of Liangshan will first be destroyed by war; As soon as the war opened, the trade route was cut off, and the merchants did not come in the four places, who would have Liangshan food with me? Although the 800-mile lake is full of fresh fish, do you want the brothers to eat fish every day? Wouldn't that be Tmall! ”

When the picker heard this, he jumped up and cried out, "How is this reasonable? After we go up the mountain, we take a big sip of wine and meat, how happy is it? On the days when fish are eaten, don't people make a bird fade out of their mouths? For a while, many people chimed in.

Ximenqing said again: "No trade routes, no wine and meat, or a trivial matter, if there is no rubber leather, lacquer, iron, arrows and bamboos and other materials to strengthen my Liangshan, I am afraid that my Liangshan luck, it is really going to be extinct!" "This is exactly what it is:

The four red eyes are greedy for profit, and one quick mouth refutes the evil spirit. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
