Water Margin people

Chapter 199 Procrastination
"Brother, tell me quickly, I can't wait!"

Ruan Xiaoqi sat down and asked quickly.

"Xiaoqi, how do you say the salt from the east coast is transported to Tokyo?"

Sun Lei poured Ruan Xiaoqi and Xiao Jiasui each a glass of wine before asking.

"Of course, take the Yellow River and the Bian River directly to Tokyo!"

Ruan Xiaoqi immediately replied that the Yellow River is to the north of Liangshanbo, and the Bian River is to the south. The water transportation of these two rivers can reach Tokyo directly, and the goods from Hebei, Shandong, and Huaihe Rivers can be directly transported to Tokyo.

"If we rob the boat without anyone noticing it, and then drive to Liangshanbo, our salt profit will be tripled, and even the cost will be saved!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, although smuggling makes money, there is always a capital. If this link can also be eliminated, it will be called real profiteering. A boatload of salt is a boatload of real money.

"Brother, this is what you want!"

Ruan Xiaoqi said in surprise, he never thought of such a good way, instead of spending money and effort to buy salt, it is better to just grab it, and then even get the boat together, isn't this a good way to make a fortune?
"This can't be done recklessly!"

Sun Lei shook his head. He had been thinking about this matter for several days, but he still couldn't find a safe solution. If Ruan Xiaoqi were to go, it would definitely cause earth-shattering disturbances and not end well.The highest official at the first level of Dasong Road is the transfer envoy. From the name of the official, it can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to the finances of various places.

"Mr. Xiao, is there any good way?"

Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui, wanting to see if this guy had any good ideas.

"Brother, this matter is of great importance. We need to survey the terrain in person before we can make a decision."

Xiao Jiasui was not in a hurry to express himself, he still gave priority to being cautious and steady.

"After planning, we will decide. We would like to add a military advisor to Liangshan!"

Sun Lei raised his glass with a smile and said that a bold and cautious person like Xiao Jiasui is what Liangshan urgently needs. up.If the society wants to become bigger and stronger, it cannot be all "heroes" with simple minds and strong limbs. It is not only about fighting and killing, but also has a few smart people to help plan.

"Okay, Xiaoqi is proficient in water, he will accompany the military division."

Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui and said, he felt relieved to have Ruan Xiaoqi following him.

"Brother, it's not too late, I'll go right away!"

Xiao Jiasui got up and said, planning will take time, the sooner you go, the sooner you can finalize the plan.

"Shi Qian also go together!"

Sun Lei clapped his hands, and Shi Qian jumped down from a tree in the water pavilion. Xiao Jiasui was surprised by Shi Qian's sudden appearance, but he didn't realize that there was someone hiding in the tree.

"How did my brother know that I was in the tree? I obviously hid very well."

Shi Qian asked suspiciously.

"It's not the first time you've been hiding in that tree."

Sun Lei said with a smile, Shi Qian often hid in the big tree, and saw some movement in the branches and leaves when he came here today. Although there was a lot of wind beside the water, he still noticed the abnormality.

"Brother's idea is good, we can do this worthless business!"

Shi Qian chuckled, he heard what Sun Lei said just now from the tree.

"You and Xiao Qi go with Mr. Xiao to see how to do this best."

Sun Lei looked at Shi Qian and said.

Xiao Jiasui, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Shi Qian went directly to the outside of the waterside pavilion, and Ruan Xiaoqi rowed a small boat and headed north.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Sun Lei took a sip of wine and smiled helplessly, a table of wine and food had just been set.

"Brother, why did they leave?"

Zhu Gui came out with a plate of dishes, but Sun Lei was the only one in the water pavilion.

"Everything is gone, sit down and have a drink with me!"

Sun Lei looked at Zhu Gui and said.

"Brother, here are the accounts for this month!"

Zhu Gui sat down and took out an account from his sleeve. Liang Shan has too much income now, and this account must be settled in time.

"Is there any news from Zhu Fu in Jeju?"

Sun Lei didn't look at the accounts, but asked about the situation in Jeju.

"In the morning, news came back that Jeju was in chaos, and the prefect sent people to Tokyo overnight!"

Zhu Gui said.

"Release the news and tell the prefect of Jeju that Huang An, the regiment, needs [-] guan, and He Tao, the inspection envoy, needs [-] guan. The remaining officers will be reduced in order, and let the prefect of Jeju use the money to redeem people."

Sun Lei rubbed his chin and smiled.

"Brother, I'm afraid the prefect of Jeju will not be willing to do this."

Zhu Gui said embarrassingly, last time the county captain, Zhu Dian, and Lei Heng of Yuncheng raised the money privately.If the government officials were kidnapped with great fanfare to blackmail the government, and the ones who were kidnapped were still regiments, envoys, and more than 1000 troops, how could the Jeju government be willing?Even if he has money, he will never give it out, unless the head of the prefect of Jeju is kicked by a donkey.

"Of course he doesn't want to. Even if I give him a head a day, he won't give any money. But let's build up momentum so that the soldiers from the surrounding states will not dare to come again. This will save us a lot of trouble. "

"And now these captives are hostages. The government will find a way to rescue the hostages first. If they dare to raise an army and come to Liangshanbo, I will kill them all before the battle. Who will lose the most?"

Sun Lei smiled.

"Brother's clever plan, if the government dares to ignore these people's life and death, then the morale of the army will be lost. This is unacceptable to the government."

Zhu Gui said pleasantly, if the Jeju government really doesn't care about these people's life and death, then the soldiers sent here will not share the same hatred with the enemy, but will be passive and unwilling to contribute to the fight, fearing that they will be captured and give up. In this way, Liangshanbo can rest easy .

"I guess as soon as the news comes out, the government will send people to negotiate soon, trying to find a way to get the prisoners back."

Sun Lei took a sip of wine and said.

"Brother, I'm afraid it's not easy to talk about!"

Zhu Gui frowned and thought again.

"It's hard to talk about it! But we have to find a way to talk about it."

Sun Lei sighed. There is no one in Liangshan who knows how to negotiate. It is good to interrupt by yourself, but I don't understand negotiation.

"The best thing is to delay it for a year and a half, and change the time."

Sun Lei was thinking about who is the master negotiator in the world of Water Margin, and he was going to get it.

"Brother, when they come to talk, first make things difficult for them, and then release some of those who are seriously injured. If you release 200 people at a time, you can still mess around for a year."

Zhu Gui said.

"It's a good idea!"

Sun Lei thought about it for a while, and he really meant it, and he hung up on Jeju government a little bit, making them hopeful but afraid to fight, so the time was dragged out.

"Brother is joking, this is just a trick used by the hotel to delay the payment of goods, and I don't know if it will work or not."

Zhu Gui smiled.

"Why not, let's do it like this. You asked Zhu Fu to prepare to spread the news. The north is not peaceful this year. It is unlikely that the Tokyo Imperial Army will be transferred. At most, it will be the surrounding soldiers. If we do this, we will not be able to fight. "

With a way to negotiate, Sun Lei began to plan what to do this year, procrastinating for time to develop with peace of mind, and wait until the wings are full and the army is strong and the horse is strong before watching the changes in the world.

"Yes, brother!"

Zhu Gui got up and clasped his hands together to make arrangements. The news from Zhu Fu's side had to be synchronized with Liangshan's side, otherwise there would be mistakes.
