Chapter 103: The Boat Fire Zhang Heng

Zeng Hao keenly captured Mu Hong's micro-expression when he heard Liang Shan, and guessed what prejudice he should have against Liang Shan.

In order to dispel Mu Hong's prejudice against Liangshan, Zeng Hao told him about the original intention of the establishment of Liangshan, the reasons why all heroes had to go to Liangshan, and the future development direction of Liangshan.

Under Zeng Hao's flickering, Liangshan, a disgraceful bandit group, became a haven for people who were forced to helpless, and the reasons for all the heroes of Liangshan to go up the mountain became "Wei Guangzheng", and the future development direction of Liangshan was not like other bandit groups, mainly by burning and looting, but by using their own advantages and making a living by doing business.

After these words, Song Jiang and the others on the side were all stunned, and they were all doubting in their hearts, we are actually such good people? ! Our Liangshan is such a righteous organization?!

However, Zeng Hao was indeed fooling in the first two points, but in the end, Zeng Hao really planned to do this in terms of the future development direction of Liangshan.

If an organization wants to develop and grow, it must need a lot of money to operate, and in the original book, Liangshan's main source of income is to seize the money of nearby states and counties, as well as the family routines brought by rich people such as Chao Gai, Chai Jin, and Li Ying, which barely maintain the lives of tens of thousands of people in Liangshan, and they don't know how to use their huge advantages to create wealth at all.

What are the advantages of doing business in Yangshan?

That's a lot!

In addition to its own geographical advantages of 800 miles of water, the main advantage of Liangshan is the talent advantage!

One hundred and eight Liangshan heroes, most of them have their own skills, either strong in martial arts, or the various functional heroes mentioned earlier, such as An Daoquan in the world, Ling Zhen, a gunpowder god, Tang Long, a weapon expert, Tao Zongwang, an infrastructure maniac, Li Li, a business master, and so on.

If you can make good use of the respective skills of these heroes to develop business, it is definitely not impossible to transform Liangshanbo into a "business empire" like Rothschild!

But it's a pity that the three leaders of Liang Shanbo in the original book didn't think of applying the respective skills of these heroes to business, just thinking about how to fight and rob.

But now that Zeng Hao is the leader of Liangshanbo, he will definitely try his best to promote the transformation of Liangshanbo.

As a modern person, he can't accept Liangshan's previous brutal line, and he will only harm others and himself if he fights and kills.

He believed in the power of money, and Rothschild once said, "When money stands up and speaks, all truth is to be silenced; When money rings, no amount of bad words will come to an abrupt end. ”

This phrase is a wise saying in the 21st century.

Don't look at a rich man surnamed Ma who says that he is not interested in money all day long, saying that creating a certain big company is the biggest mistake in his life, if you want him to put down his current net worth and return to the life of ordinary people, he will not be willing.

However, in a centralized dynasty like the Song Dynasty, although money is also very important, if you just have money and no background, the power of money will be greatly reduced, and it will even become a weapon to harm you.

Because in ancient times, the protection of private property was not as strict as in later generations, although the Song Dynasty pioneered the establishment of private property rights, those who held great power wanted to annex your family property, there were still various ways.

Especially in the era of Song Huizong, where Zeng Hao is now, there are many famous traitors, and traitors like Cai Jing can use all kinds of means in order to loot the people's fat and ointment.

Among them, the most famous is the new salt banknote method launched by Cai Jing in order to collect a large amount of money.

The new salt banknote law stipulates that anyone engaged in selling salt must first pay money to buy new salt banknotes at the banknote purchase office, and then can go to the salt-producing prefecture or county to obtain salt for sale, and the old salt banknotes will be invalidated.

After all the salt merchants had to add money to buy new salt banknotes according to the new regulations, Cai Jing introduced newer salt banknotes, and so on, salt merchants had to buy salt money several times before they could get the salt once.

As a result, many salt merchants were bankrupt and committed suicide by jumping into the river.

Therefore, although Zeng Hao decided to transform Liangshan into commerce, his military strength must also develop in tandem so that he can protect the wealth he earned.

After listening to Zeng Hao's eloquent conversation, Mu Hong's impression of Liangshan instantly improved a lot, plus he heard that there were all kinds of good men on Liangshan, so he actually proposed to go to Liangshan with his younger brother Mu Chun!

Zeng Hao was overjoyed, and of course agreed.

Seeing Xue Yong sitting on the side, Zeng Hao pulled him together and said, "Brother Xue, your martial arts are so strong, why don't you also go to our Liangshan, how about we do great things together?" ”

Xue Yong is not an indecisive person, and he may not be able to find any way out of Tokyo anyway, and Liang Shan also suits his taste, so he nodded and agreed.

After seeing that everyone was Liangshan's brother, the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more enthusiastic.

After eating and drinking, Zeng Hao and the others continued to rush to Jiangzhou, Mu Chun followed, and Mu Hong stayed to explain the family's business, and then joined Zeng Hao and them to go to Liangshan together.

Jieyang Town is separated from Jiangzhou by a Yangtze River, and you need to take a boat to get there.

Zeng Hao and his entourage of eight people were waiting for the boat by the river, and happened to see three boats rowing slowly on the river.

Song Jiang hurriedly waved his hand to take a boat.

The three boats came to shore one after the other.

In addition to one captain on each ship, there were also two men on board.

"Are you going to Jiangzhou?" The captain of the middle ship asked aloud.

"Yes, the eight of us are going to Jiangzhou." Song Jiang replied politely.

"Then hurry up and get on the boat, these people on the boat are also going to the Jiang ......" The captain suddenly stopped, looked at Mu Chun who was standing next to Hua Rong and asked, "Isn't this the young master of the Mu family in the town, do you also want to take a boat?" ”

Mu Chun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the captain: "Zhang Heng, have I heard that your ship is a black ship, and there have been many lives on board?" ”

Zhang Heng laughed and said: "Young Master Mu is not joking, I Zhang Heng will not dare to seek anyone's life, after all, who doesn't know that you and your brother are the overlords of Jieyang Town." ”

Mu Chun snorted coldly: "I don't dare to forgive you." Then the first one got on board.

Hearing Mu Chun say that the captain in the middle was Zhang Heng, Zeng Hao began to look carefully.

Zhang Heng, nicknamed Chuanhuo'er, ranked twenty-eighth among the heroes of Liangshan, has a good water nature, does not lose to the three Ruan brothers at all, and his martial arts are higher than the three Ruan brothers, so in the original book, the leader of Liangshan's naval army is him and not the three Ruan brothers.

Speaking of Zhang Heng, everyone may not know him well, but when it comes to his younger brother, everyone will definitely know that it is Zhang Shun, who is called Langli Baitiao.

Zhang Shun's water nature is the best in the whole Water Margin, there is no one, it is said that he can lurk underwater for seven days and seven nights, and the speed in the water is as fast as a white strip flashing, so it is called the white strip in the waves.
