Fang Xiaoyu seemed to smile helplessly: "No way, people always have to find a way to live, since the living expenses given by the family are insufficient, then they have to find a way to make money, they can't everyone be tied together and wait for death, right?" Besides, my idea is not wrong, although it is now the Qing Dynasty, but there are always some black sheep on the ground who rely on the mountains and the emperor is far away, and the government can't control the place for a while, gathering in the mountains and forests, under the guise of doing evil for the sky, the officials at all levels and the local squires have bonuses for these bandits, if we can suppress them, on the one hand, it is to stabilize the place for the imperial court, on the other hand, they also make some oil and water, and subsidize the family, uncle, don't you say?"

Qianlong hadn't spoken yet, and He Shen, who was standing beside Qianlong, said with a smile: "My filial piety, it's not the second uncle I said you, you are too philistine, now you are a tribute student registered in the imperial court, and if you have the ability, you should contribute to the imperial court, how can you always think about money, money, this is too much to smear your face, you look at those heroes who are chivalrous, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and the high-rollers who are righteous and squandering money, people do good deeds without return, you should learn from them." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Second uncle, you are wrong to say that, I rely on my own ability to make money, support my family, and do not steal or rob, what is there to see the light and smear my father's face?" Besides, there is always a cost for this person to live in this world, whether you are a small people, a nobleman, a heroic high-roller, a peddler's pawn, no exception, farewell is those high-rollers who fight for righteousness and wealth on the rivers and lakes and the so-called heroes who are chivalrous and righteous, they are also flesh and blood, and they are not immortals, they can eat and sleep in the open air, and they need to maintain their reputation and status in the rivers and lakes, that is also a cost, and this cost is not a little, if there is no continuous economic resources to support there, even if the ancestors left them a few gold and silver mountains, they can't stand them so squandering。 ”

Speaking of this, Fang Xiaoyu turned his gaze to Prince Shuo: " Say Shuo Wangye, don't say that I take silver from your things every moonlight, but I can't bring you any benefits, today I will send you a way to make money, I believe that there are also many clothed servants in your house who are local officials, you let them pay attention to those big Zhuangzi and big high-rollers who give gold and silver to people who come and go to the rivers and lakes, you let them check the economic sources of these people, if I guess correctly, these people are selling dog meat on sheep's heads, and the surface of the people is beautiful, but behind them are male thieves and prostitutes. ”

Prince Shuo hadn't agreed yet, and Qianlong had said happily: "It seems that you are very uninterested in those knights." ”

Fang Xiaoyu replied: "I only know that this life requires a cost, especially those high-rollers who are righteous and squandering money, and the heroes who are chivalrous and righteous, they are not immortals, they can eat and stay on the road or turn stones into gold, this food and clothing He will not fall from the sky for no reason, if there is no serious economic source to support it, even if the ancestors left them a mountain of gold and silver, then there is a time when they will be defeated, what do you say they use to maintain their life in front of the people, calling for wind and rain?" Take Liu Dong in Tianjin as an example, on the surface, Sai Meng is chivalrous and unparalleled, but who knows that he is doing tricks and robbing and trafficking women behind his back. ”

Qianlong smiled and said, "You have overturned a boatload of people with a rod." ”

Fang Xiaoyu replied: "Uncle, you are a big man who has been through ups and downs for a long time, and you eat more salt than me, it is impossible to know more about those people's urine than I do. Troubled times, prosperous thugs, I believe that many cases in society, that is, a few bandits who support a few Jiangyang thieves, there is nothing strange, the civil chaos party has been repeatedly suppressed, but it has a lot to do with these people, these people are extremely broad, and the tentacles can reach all corners of society, it is likely that the court has just cracked down on the bandits, and the people have already got the news, and then they have sent those people to report the news, remember that there is a very popular folk chivalry in the community, what is it called "Water Margin" Here, Song Jiangke in the book often plays such a role, this person has a dual identity, one of them is the official master, the master, and is deeply respected by the lord of the mansion, but the other identity is a high-roller on the rivers and lakes, with a nickname, what is the timely rain, and often befriended some heroes on the rivers and lakes with gold and silver property, if he hadn't given a message to Chao Gai and others who robbed the birth gang, those people would have been caught by the court and cut off their heads. ”

"Troubled times, thugs in prosperous times, there is a certain truth in this, uncle, I remember," Qianlong nodded: "That's it, your uncle and I also know a lot of people in the court, as long as you can bring disaster to the court on both sides of the Yellow River for many years, I will ask them to ask the court for a reward, and let the court reward you with 20,000 taels of silver?"

"Bandits?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: " I also want to be the scourge of the seventeen roads on both sides of the Yellow River, the seventeen roads of smoke and dust for the disaster on both sides of the Yellow River, they are not bandits for a year or two, there is news that they have existed in the former Ming Dynasty, although since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they have stopped for a period of time, but more than ten years ago they sank and resurged, wantonly plundered the past merchants, kidnapped tickets and extorted, all evil, even the imperial court's silver and disaster relief silver have been robbed many times, it can be said that they are a mountain of gold and silver, if they can be suppressed, it is just a little bit of casual, but also enough for me to get away with a dozen, twenty years. ”

Qianlong smiled: "I'll just say how kind you are to help the court suppress the bandits, it turns out that you are eyeing the silver that has been captured by the court, but if you do this, it is equivalent to taking food from the mouths of the bandits." ”

Yongqi said at this time: "Uncle Dongfang, you don't know this, in order to exterminate these bandits, this kid has been preparing for a long time, and he has invited two masters to help. ”

"Yes, it's those two masters, let's hear it!"

"These two masters, I believe you must have heard of them," Yongqi said with a smile: "One of them is called Han Wuniang, the fairy of the Amazing Hung. ”

Qianlong nodded: "Han Wuniang, the fairy of the Amazing Hung Fairy, is a bit good, but you want to rely on her to suppress the smoke and dust of the Seventeenth Road, this confidence is too inflated, the leader of the seventeenth road smoke and dust is a martial artist who does not blink an eye, especially the leader of the Trapping Sky, he is an invincible opponent on both sides of the Yellow River." ”

"Cut, is it great to fight all over the banks of the Yellow River?" Yongqi Gege said disdainfully: "He can fight again, can he still compare to the world's number one master Bai Mei, he can use one hand to press the trapped sky to death." ”

"If Bai Mei is out of the horse, of course there is nothing to be afraid of falling into the sky, why did you invite Bai Mei?"

Yongqi directly slapped Fang Xiaoyu's old bottom: "Of course, you don't know that this kid is a closed disciple of Baimei, you said about this apprentice, can you not be a master?"

"Hehe," Qianlong said happily: "No wonder so many of you are sitting here to share the spoils, it turns out that you have invited Bai Mei, the god, and this deal is also counted as me and Er, not to tell you that this seventeenth road smoke and dust has also robbed us of several batches of goods in the Purple Light Treasure Pavilion, and I am really a little unwilling to take those goods back." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "Don't tell it to your uncle, I was sure to cut off the smoke and dust of the Seventeenth Road, but now I don't have any control at all." ”

Qianlong couldn't help but be stunned: "How do you say this?"

"My strategy of suppressing bandits was originally a quick word, and I took the other party by surprise, so the people involved were also my brothers and a few masters of the prince of Heshuo, but now you look at our bandit team, either some gentlemen, or some old people. ”

Qianlong nodded and said: "Our team is a little miscellaneous, but miscellaneous also has mixed benefits, at least it can confuse the enemy and lure the snake out of the hole." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "But the problem is that the bandits are destined to have casualties, you said that if we really fight with the bandits, do we protect them first, or fight those bandits first." ”

Qianlong smiled and said: "Speaking of this, you are still a little tender, Uncle can tell you, these people are not simple, they are all our Manchu family, their families have all produced generals, Baylor, Beizi, queens, concubines, everyone behind them represents a great network, others want to be able to connect to Baba, how can you push back the resources in hand, if you have such a strong network behind your Fang family, others just want to deal with your Fang family, then you have to check the forces behind your Fang family first, right?"

"I know, their origins are not simple, you said that the people who can sit and drink tea with Lord Shuo, can their identities be simple, but the problem is that the bandits are destined to do with the bandits, and they are destined to have casualties, but do I dare to use them, if they are injured and touched, can those people behind them spare me?"

"It turns out that you are worried about this, then the uncle will teach you another trick," Qianlong said happily: " There are no useless people in this world, the main thing is to see if you use the place, if you use the right place, it is a million profits, this time since it is a bandit, we have to try to maximize the benefits, not to make hundreds of thousands of taels that are a little sorry for themselves, the local government must have a rich reward for those bandits, but these rewards you go by yourself, you may not be able to take it out from the government, even if you can take out the reward, I am afraid that the government has already let the government deduct seventy-seven eighty-eight for various reasons, but they go to be different. ”

"Okay, I'll take them all," Fang Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and agreed: "But I also have a condition, I don't expect them to be able to fight the bandits, but they must at least have some self-protection ability, even if you can't beat the bandits, but you have to run past the bandits, otherwise it will be to give the bandit a head, otherwise I will not suppress this bandit." ”

"And what do you want?"

"The tactic of defeating the strong with the weak, to put it bluntly, is running?"

"What kind of tactic is running?".

It was He Shen who said this.

"The highest essence of the thirty-six strategies is a run," Fang Xiaoyu replied: "And the one who took this run to the extreme is Genghis Khan, all his tactics are a speed, even if your strength is ten times his, he can hang you with absolute speed, drag you fat and thin, thin and drag you across, and in the process of constantly escaping, he will cause you a lot of damage with a long-range attack weapon, which is also what people often call bloodletting tactics." ”
