"Father-in-law, do you think I can still ride a horse?"

Cheng Zhijie raised his tightly bandaged hands and looked at his father-in-law Liu Baosheng pitifully.

He also wants to contribute to his father-in-law!

But now that his mouth has burst, his wound has not yet scabbed, and he can't even ride a horse, how can he chase his eldest brother-in-law?

Liu Baosheng was helpless, so he could only look at his third son-in-law, Han Dahu, who had the power of thousands of lines to condense his whole body, and saw Han Dahu stand up and shouted outside the door: "Lao Qiu, prepare the horse!" ”

This is a fatal matter, Han Dahu didn't dare to delay, took a dozen or so trusted entourage, and rode all kinds of livestock out to chase after the eldest brother-in-law with a lot of money. As for why there are so many kinds of livestock? He didn't want to, Han Dahu was just a donkey, he was still an old horse, he couldn't run fast, and he couldn't go the same way. Even so, Han Dahu was not ready to change. There is a shortage of horses in the Great Song Dynasty, and a good horse is often thousands, Han Dahu has this mind, and he does not have the financial resources.

So, there were all kinds of tools for the journey, including mules and donkeys. It's impossible for a cow, this guy walks slowly, not as fast as a man.

When the feast came to this point, it could not continue.

The people of Baizhang Village lived in Han Dahu's Zhuangzi, and it was not easy for them to leave anyway. When I saw the wine and meat, I let go of it one by one and stuffed it into my mouth, poured it into my stomach, and it took a lot of effort, and I was shaking when I walked, and my tone of voice became irritable, as if everyone was a hero in the world, and his ability was boundless.

Fortunately, there are always a few people who are sober, Li Hong is one, Li Kui naturally didn't say anything, and the third uncle didn't get drunk.

Returning to the courtyard arranged by the shopkeeper Qiu, the third uncle waited for the servants to leave, and hurriedly pulled Li Kui and asked, "Kui Wazi, you give me a foundation, is this business sure?" ”

"No one dares to say that it is ten percent sure, ninety percent, this point of certainty is still there." Li Kui thought for a while and said, "The third uncle asked me to say, is this business beneficial to the clansmen?" ”

The old man was recognized by Li Kui, and he was a little embarrassed, a big family wants to be united, at least there are collective interests, otherwise it will be dispersed sooner or later, Li Kui doesn't think there is anything wrong with the third uncle having this idea.

Don't look at the people in Baizhang Village are very horizontal, and they are all sticks when doing business outside, and they are all stupid. It's hard to make a profitable deal, or to buy and sell.

God is fair, giving Baizhang Village one ability, it will inevitably deprive another ability.

The third uncle had this kind of panic, as soon as he heard tens of thousands of runs, his old man's brain exploded for a while, tens of thousands of runs, and it was going to blow up for a while, but he was dumbfounded when he said a charter.

I don't have a clue, and I even have a sense of unreality, I always feel that there are a lot of spies in ambush around, and I want to seize the great wealth of Baizhang Village. In addition, this business is not from Baizhang Village, but belongs to Li Kui. No matter how he decides, the third uncle can't say anything. Now, he can only open his mouth to test Li Kui.

Li Kui thought about it, he thought about his livelihood in the future, and at the same time, in order to win the hearts of the clansmen, he suggested: "Third uncle, do you think this is okay?" The dividends of this business are divided into three parts, I take one, the clan takes one, and the clan gets the last. As for the capital, I went to discuss with General Liu, whether to borrow or give, and discussed it. As it stands, there is no reason for him to refuse. ”

A surprised smile appeared on the third uncle's face: "Good boy, the old man is not wrong about you." ”

However, the third uncle still thinks that giving too much money to the clansmen will make people scatter, instead of making trouble for money at that time, it is better to cut off all the hidden dangers: "Kui Wazi, this money can't be divided like this, and it shouldn't be divided how." ”

Speaking of this, the third uncle's eyes were a little red: "The ancestors stayed in Baizhang Village at the beginning, and they didn't plan to stay in this mountain forest forever. But who would have thought that generations did not wait for the opportunity. There is no one who can make the people unite and get out of the mountains and forests. Now, your third grandfather has seen it, Kui Wazi, if the clansmen of Baizhang Village are scattered, they will never be able to gather again, and although they don't look at it, it's not your third grandfather who blows, on the ground of Yishui, there is absolutely no one who can fight better than Baizhang Village. ”

Li Kuixin said this, but why did it sound so awkward?

Li Kui frowned slightly; "Third uncle, if the clan is not dispersed, how can you feed it?"

The third uncle said with a smile: "Say to the outside world that the business is yours, if there is a surplus, you give some money to the clan every year, and the distribution of this money is not up to the clansmen, you and I have the final say." Orphans, widows, and children are all supported, and those who are young and strong can see how much strength they have, and those who contribute more will be given more; If the output is less, give less; If you don't make the effort and want to divide the money, there is no door. In addition, it is also necessary to reward outstanding talents, such as good reading and martial arts...... Of course, there must be rewards and punishments, and if the clansmen make mistakes, they will be fined. ”

After listening to it for a while, Li Kui couldn't turn around, this set of methods, you dare to say that it is not military law?

It's just that the killing of the head has become a fine. In particular, the third uncle suggested that the money given to the clansmen should not be too much, as long as it is better than ordinary people, and Baizhang Village does not raise lazy people. It's a bit like the generals withholding the soldiers' salaries, making the clansmen reluctant to run if they want to, and finally being completely tied to the family's warship.

The rest of the money can also attract good hands, craftsmen, and all kinds of talents.

Li Kui's head was big when he heard it, but the third uncle was in good spirits, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became, in desperation, Li Kui simply let the old man handle the decision, at least in Baizhang Village, the third uncle often protects some of the clansmen, but it is also the reason why he expects these people to make a difference. If it's really self-interest, absolutely not.

"Third uncle, or it's up to you to decide this matter! Anyway, this money can be earned for two years at most, and the clansmen will still have to find other livelihoods in the future. ”

Only then did the old man say with satisfaction: "Don't worry, Kui Wazi." Your third grandfather must have shown you a good look. ”

However, Li Kui still thought of an imminent matter: "Speaking of which, once this business is done, Baizhang Village will not be able to ask for it, and the clansmen will have to move out of the mountains." In particular, a Zhuangzi near the water source is needed, a piece of land that is sufficient for the tribe to live, which is a large part of the cost. Tomorrow I will ask General Liu if he has a suitable Zhuangzi to use. ”

The next day, early in the morning, the courtyard suddenly became noisy.

There was Li Lin's cry of forgiveness.

There are three uncles who roar angrily, looking for the anger of the perpetrators.

There is also Li Hong's helplessness to follow his father to persuade him.

Li Kui pushed open the door of the house, and the sky was still bright, and he saw the third uncle dragging a stinky face and reprimanding in front of a group of clansmen: "Who did it, which god did it?" ”

"Li Lin, isn't it you?"

"No, third uncle, you can't wronged a good person!" Li Lin called Qu Dao.

The third uncle did not relent: "Drinking and making trouble, you are the most unethical among the people of my Baizhang Village, who else can you have?" ”

Li Kui walked over and asked, "Third uncle, what's wrong?" ”

The third uncle angrily stroked his fingers at the group of unhealthy clansmen in front of him, and roared angrily: "A group of people drank the wine of the master's family, drank beautifully, and drank high, and finally went crazy and demolished the master's house, do you say this is done by people?" Where is the face of my Baizhang Village? ”

Li Lin secretly came up and offered a plan: "Third uncle, let's cover it secretly, maybe you can't see it." ”

Li Kui was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Where is the house?" ”

"Just two firewood rooms, Kui Wazi, you go and talk to the Han Inspector, can't you build a new one for him? It's all here. Li Lin didn't know the bottom in his heart, it seems that all the bad things in the clan, there are only two people who are on top, it used to be Li Kui, but now he is him, he is so wronged!

Li Kui's face was dark, and he could only come down. Passing through the courtyard, he found that Han Dahu had returned, and he had brought a man dressed as a shivering scribe, who looked lonely and had a kind of despair that was only satisfactory when he died.

Li Kui didn't care about the firewood room, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Han, who is this?" ”

"My eldest brother-in-law." Han Dahu sighed.

"What's going on?"

Han Dahu said with a dull gaze: "It's over, it's all over, the money that the whole family made up was robbed by the damn bandits." ”

When Li Kui heard this, the sky was clear, and he pointed to some of the money that the Liu family had collected as capital? Now that the business has not been completed, the capital has been robbed, and there is no Wang Fa, he was so angry that his eyes were blood-red, and he said angrily: "Who, is the one who robs the capital of the master who doesn't open his eyes?" ”
