Chapter 749 Chai Jin's Business

Cangzhou.

A group of great merchants and landlords came to Chaijiazhuang, and now Chai Jin is Liang Shanbo's steward in Cangzhou.

"Welcome, everyone, please sit down!"

Chai Jin smiled and clasped his fists at the visitors.

This is the first time that Chai Jin entertained guests at home since he was framed and imprisoned by Gao Lian.

In the past, Chai Jin would entertain guests at home every now and then, and he enjoyed the feeling of being praised very much. At that time, he would feel that he was still the royal family of the Chai family.

But what happened in Gaotangzhou was like a pot of cold water extinguishing his arrogance. It turned out that he was just a joke, and the crowd around him was just for profit, maybe they were all laughing at him behind his back.

Now it is different again, he is no longer the orphan of the Chai family who has no relatives, he has a good brother, a good brother who dares to fight against the world for him.

"Everyone, autumn is coming soon, don't make things difficult for Chai Jin with this year's money and food!"

After everyone was seated, Chai Jin looked at the "full house" and did not exchange polite greetings. He got straight to the point and talked about the business. Now that he is Liang Shanbo's manager in Cangzhou, he naturally put Liang Shanbo's interests first.

"Mr. Chai, this year is not good, the flood has just receded..."

"Senior officials, this year has suffered a military disaster, and the trade with the Liao Kingdom has been cut off..."

Chai Jin just opened his mouth, and immediately there was a burst of crying.

"Everyone, I know what's going on this year, but the rules are the rules. This is what brother Sun Lei of Liang Shanbo wants. I hope you don't make it difficult for me!"

Chai Jin handed a receipt to Du Guan, and asked him to distribute it to everyone.

"Master Chai, isn't this killing us?"

Looking at the receipt, someone immediately jumped up and said, the rest of the people were filled with righteous indignation, looking desperate.

Chai Jin smiled and watched those people cry. He is not a brat. The Chai family has been rich and powerful in Cangzhou for many years. He knows how many of these people have a lot of money. He personally determined this document. , although it will make these people bleed, but it will not kill those people.

"Everyone, Cangzhou has now returned to Liangshanbo. Brother Sun Lei is kind and didn't look for you. Don't you think that Liangshan's brothers dare not look for you?"

Chai Jin opened his mouth when he saw that everyone was quiet. He didn't speak loudly, but every word was like a knife in everyone's heart.

What is Liangshan Park?That's the bandit's nest, how can the bandit occupy the state city without looting?Liang Shanbo didn't come now, so give them another chance. If they don't know each other and come to kill them tomorrow, they will not only want the things on the list.

"Master Chai, you and Chief Sun know each other well, for the sake of the Cangzhou lineage, please give us some good words!"

Someone said that Sun Lei defeated Gaotangzhou and Cangzhou for Chai Jin.

With the first one to speak, the rest of the people also asked for Chai Jin. At this moment, they went back to the past, flattering and flattering Chai Jin.

But all of this has become a great irony in the eyes of Chai Jin. He used to enjoy it very much, but it is different now. The frivolous flattery of these people is meaningless to him. He has no face now, but he will Use your own strength to earn face back.

"Everyone, face is not used in this way. I asked everyone to come today just to inform, and it is more difficult for you than not letting me do it."

Chai Jin looked at the crowd and said.

After finishing speaking, Chai Jin clapped his hands, and the servant girl started to serve the dishes with the plate.The table was full of delicious food, but everyone couldn't arouse the slightest appetite. Thinking about the things on the receipt made them feel pain.

By the Yellow River.

"The Liao people are a little too calm!"

Zhang Shuye looked at the Jingguan, and then looked at the north. It has been a long time since they defeated the [-] Liao army and built the Jingguan. The Liao people in the north are surprisingly quiet. Up to now, there has been no sign of retaliation , This is very abnormal, Liao people can't swallow their anger.

"There should be an accident in Liaodong! The Jurchens are really not easy."

Zong Ze's face was full of solemnity. The Liao people were not kind, and they could endure such a big loss. It could only be that there were more important things that restrained the Liao people, and the Liao people had no time to take care of them now.

"Jurchen? Are you really that powerful?"

Zhang Shuye had never seen the Jurchen in Liaodong, so he couldn't imagine what kind of person they were.

"Much better than the Liao people!"

Zong Ze thought back to the Jurchen army he had seen in Suzhou and Fuzhou, it was the most brutal barbarian he had ever seen.

"Could it be that Sun Lei knew these things before he dared to transfer the army back to Liangshanbo?"

Zhang Shuye looked at Zong Ze and asked, after the Battle of Cangzhou, Sun Lei transferred most of the army horses back to Liangshanbo, and now only the two of them, Gongsun Sheng and [-] troops are left here.

"Sun Lei seems to act in an eclectic manner, but in fact he is extremely stable. Have you ever seen him do things that he is not sure about?"

Zong Ze shook his head.

"It really is!"

Zhang Shuye sighed and said, Sun Lei looks crazy when he does things, but he is completely sure every time.

"You have also seen the Liangshanbo water army. The ships can not only fight, but also transport troops. It seems that Sun Lei has transferred the army away. In fact, Sun Lei can transfer the army within three to five days. This speed is Sun Lei's confidence."

Zong Ze looked at the rolling Yellow River and said, Sun Lei is very fond of the navy, and he is not unfamiliar with its use, which makes him very puzzled. The art of war rarely mentions the navy. Where did Sun Lei learn so much? many things?
At this moment, Chai Jin arrived on horseback.

"Two old generals, is Daoist Gongsun here?"

Chai Jin cupped his fists at Zongze and Zhang Shuye.

"It's in the barracks!"

Zhang Shuye saluted Chai Jin with fists. Chai Jin belonged to the former royal family and the predecessor of the Song Dynasty. People like them who respected tradition would give Chai Jin face.

"Master Chai."

Gongsun Sheng happened to come over at this time, and greeted Chai Jin with a smile.

"Gongsun Daoist, those people agree, and the money, grain and supplies will be handed over next month!"

Chai Jin said, this was the first thing he did for Liang Shanbo, and he liked it very much.

"You have worked hard, Officer Chai! I also have good news. My brother has repelled two waves of invading enemies. Now the imperial army is huddled in Puzhou and dare not take a step forward."

Gongsun Sheng said with a smile that the battle at Liangshanbo was progressing smoothly. Gao Qiu's [-] troops and Cai You's [-] troops were almost wiped out.

"Brother is really amazing!"

Chai Jin was overjoyed when he heard that, now he is also considered a man of Liangshan, and Liangshan's victory is his victory.

This news did not surprise Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye. The imperial army was no match for Liang Shanbo at all, and the defeat was reasonable, but they did not expect to lose so quickly.

"Brother, is this going to invade Tokyo?"

Chai Jin asked a little excitedly, he was thinking that the Zhao family was unlucky now, and it would be better to be like his Chai family, then he would be happy!
"No, my brother took people to Qingzhou!"

Gongsun Sheng laughed that once Qingzhou was captured, Liangshanbo would occupy half of Shandong and open up the land route with Cangzhou.
