Water Margin Survival

Sending away the white-haired tiger with a smile on his face, Du Qian sighed with some emotion: "How can Wang Qing be so good that he can make this hero give up his heart to him!"

"He just took the lead!" Wang Lun shook his head and smiled. Over the past year or so, he has taken the lead a lot. The generals under Wang Qing in the original trajectory, such as Yan Juan and Yuan Lang, are very happy in Liangshan at this time.There are also Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui, Wang Jin and other heroes who had no relationship with Liangshan, but now they are performing their duties like ducks in water.

"That's true! It's a pity that Jinghu Lake is too far away, otherwise how could I miss this hero?" Du Qian regretted, and suddenly remembered that there were only a hundred people around him that day, and he dared to follow Wang Lun to occupy the mountain and become king until the village. At that time, he had [-] soldiers, and he was in charge of money and food, which was considered a high position and weight, but he walked on eggshells every day. The obvious contrast between the two sides made him sigh with emotion.

Jiang Jing thought that Du Qian was reluctant to let go of the horse, and persuaded him: "Brother Du, as the saying goes, twisted melons are not sweet! Our cottage's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people will vote for it. What?"

When Du Qian heard this, he smiled at Jiang Jing without explaining, and laughed at himself: "There are more and more people throwing mountains, and no one will be unhappy, but the burden on your shoulders and mine is heavy!"

Seeing Wang Lun say this, he shook his head and smiled, and said, "Brother, you are blaming me!"

Du Qian chuckled, and said: "My little brother is going out for a walk at this time, and he will drag a brother up and down the mountain. Who doesn't say that my brother knows Hongyuan, and he walks and sees three steps? I still remember the night when we went down the mountain to avenge Li Si , At that time, the cottage was almost untouchable. My brother had an idea at the time, and we broke Xixi Village. I still remember that when Song Wan saw the 500 taels of gold ingots dug up by Baozheng's family, his jaw almost dropped. It looks like it's coming down."

When Du Qian said this, a rather intoxicated smile appeared on his face. Jiang Jing looked at Du Qian with some fascination, and heard him continue:

"We rely on beating these rich and unkind bullies, but you also know that these guys are thieves and thieves now, and they don't dare to harm others. Let's say that our cottage is now a big family, and it's not about beating one or two powerful families. Then I can live. The younger brother also knows that the elder brother is too busy to turn around for the cottage, but no matter how I say it, the elder brother will come up with an idea, so that the younger brother will have more money! I can’t be free all day, so I think about it. Be the seller!"

"Once Haimao opens, are you afraid that you won't have the money to come?" Jiao Ting couldn't help asking, seeing Du Qian was in a state of desperation for the first time.

Du Qian spread his hands and said helplessly, "My brother, even if Wang Qing comes here with money, it won't be long! Our goods are still owed on credit by some people. The shadow of Qian has not been seen! Let me state first, I absolutely believe that the profits of this sea trade are huge, and I also fully support this way of getting money, but the key is that the return of money from this sea trade is too slow, but it is not far away. Can't water put out the fire?"

Seeing that Du Qian was joking, he became anxious as he talked. It seemed that the account of the Shanzhai was really urgent. Wang Lun didn't say much at the moment, but just beckoned Hu Cheng over, and in front of Du Qian Qian looked at him and asked him, "Have you seen the goods I brought back from Dengzhou? How much is it worth?"

"At that time, when my brother ordered to prepare gifts for some heroes in Jinghu, my younger brother went to see it. It was roughly estimated that it was no less than 30 guan, and at most 40 guan!" Hu Cheng replied.

"What!? The sea goods in the two warehouses are full of more than 20 ships, and they are so worthless?" Jiao Ting said in disbelief, apparently falling short of his psychological price.

"Brother Jiao Ting doesn't know. Those who go to Korea for private business in the Shandong area know that it's called Haimao when you sell things to Korea. When you come back from Korea, it depends on your luck. If you are not lucky, you can earn two hard dollars. Talking is better than nothing!" Hu Cheng shook his head and said,

"What he sold back there were only some lacquer, greenware, bronze ware, ginseng, poria cocos, pine nuts, hazelnuts, pine flower medicinal materials, etc. How can the value compare with our porcelain, silk, and books? And these things are the most beautiful. Importantly, good quality does not always happen every time, so it depends on luck, let’s say that the items we seized in Dengzhou this time may not be all defective, but the quality is not much better!”

In this era, speaking of it, many products of the Song Dynasty are well-deserved high-end goods in international trade. Many other small countries that trade with the Song Dynasty can only rely on the most basic resources to make up for the trade deficit. Obviously, Goryeo is one of them.

"Pick up some precious medicinal materials and keep them for your own use, and release all the others to supplement the expenses of the cottage. If there is no income, the Du Qian brothers may not be able to sleep at night! Wang Qing will have to come and go." It's been a month, but I'm not busy!" Wang Lun said to Hu Cheng.Hu Cheng smiled at Du Qian when he heard the words, and nodded in agreement.

Two to three million strings was a large amount for Liangshan in the past, but it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket at present, and it can consume almost the same amount of energy after going through a long-distance trek.But getting money is better than not getting money, I saw Du Qian shook his head and sighed, and said: "One day I will be poor and crazy, I will break the city of Jeju and ask Zhang Shuye to borrow some money! Ignore him as well, when the time comes, shoot the gun and leave, go to Jeju Island and continue to enjoy yourself!"

"Then you are looking for the wrong person. Where does Uncle Zhang have any money? Besides, Jeju is only a small state with four counties. Not to mention the small amount of money and food, and there are also transshipment envoys who keep transporting them to Tokyo. If they are beaten down, if they are out of luck." It’s just that when he’s just sent back to Beijing, I’m afraid it’s just an empty shell!” Wang Lun shook his head.

The Song Dynasty was no better than the Tang Dynasty. The local state capitals of the Tang Dynasty were rich in wealth, but the Song Dynasty seemed to be much poorer.In the Song Dynasty, there was a transshipment envoy on each road, and their task was to continuously transport the taxes and taxes of the state capitals to Tokyo.During the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, both capitals were lost, but the states and counties behind the enemy were able to fight on their own. A large reason was that the states and counties had money and food in their hands.When the Jin people invaded, most states and counties in the Song Dynasty did not make due resistance, which had a lot to do with the Song Dynasty's national policy of strong branches and weak branches (not only gathering military power, but also financial power).

However, if you are poor, it is at least the capital of a state. The wealth is definitely not comparable to that of Zhujiazhuang and other folk villages. The money and food are accumulated, and it is transported to Tokyo several times a year, so there is a time difference.In other words, before the money and food are shipped out, although they do not belong to the state capital, they are deposited in the state capital.

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard Wang Lun's words. In the past, the Shanzhai followed a low-key development policy and basically would not mess with the state government. Now, seeing Wang Lun joking along with Du Qian's words, he even made a detailed analysis. Could it be that Brother's attitude is a little loose now?

Seeing everyone's strange gazes, Wang Lun smiled and did not explain. He has only exchanged opinions with Wen Huanzhang on this matter so far. After Xiao Jiasui comes back, he plans to invite two more military advisers to discuss the future of the cottage together. Code of Conduct: Should we hit the state capital?When are you going to fight?

The benefit of attacking the state capital is obvious, that is, it will greatly improve the financial situation of the cottage.Money is a good thing!Now that the cottage is developing, money is inseparable everywhere. Otherwise, the shipyard at this time would not stop working due to lack of wood, and Du Qian would not have to cry poor here.The farm cattle needed by each family of the big immigrants in the near future will add up to a considerable expenditure.The cottage needs to imitate bows and crossbows to make leather armor, and the cost of raw materials is huge!In short, the future development and future of Liangshanbo cannot avoid the word money in any case.

The harm of attacking the state capital is also obvious, that is, to expose one's own strength to the imperial court prematurely.It's a pity that the strategy of keeping a low profile may have been more effective in the past, but judging from the current leaders of the three states on the edge of the water, it is a bit of an ostrich tactic.The famous minister Zhang Shuye would definitely not reveal Liangshan's true strength to the court, and whether Cheng Wanli would hide it from Tong Guan is unknown, but Hou Fa, who lost his army and lost his general, must not dare to lie to his brother Hou Meng.

Therefore, regarding this issue, Wen Huanzhang tends to be targeted. It is not appropriate to over-stimulate and force the court to take action with frequent and crazy siege times, but when encountering the right opportunity, he does not have to be patient and shrink back.

Wang Lun also agreed with Wen Huanzhang's point of view.

In the original trajectory, Song Jiang broke through Gaotang Prefecture and attracted Gao Qiu's revenge, and then Hu Yanzhuo led a serial horse to kill him.Later, Song Jiang broke the Daming Mansion, which also attracted Cai Jing's revenge, so there was a subsequent expedition by Guan Sheng.

These important officials of the court are more like raising troops for personal revenge. For example, Song Jiang made money in Qingzhou (killing Murong's family), troubled Huazhou (killing Su Taiwei), broke Lingzhou, and later for the top spot in the cottage, and Lu Junyi each attacked a state, but in the end it did not attract revenge from the court.

However, Wang Lun also noticed that there is actually a problem with the frequency of breaking the city, that is, Song Jiang attacked these state capitals for several years, on average, only once or twice a year, and retreated immediately after beating the state capital. Wang Lun has never occupied the state capital before. This discovery gave Wang Lun a lot of inspiration. I don't know if it is because of this, that even though Song Jiang can't be dealt with at the moment, they never treat him as a dish.

If you find something, you can learn from it. It seems that I can learn how to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger to deal with the imperial court. How to destroy his state capital and make him think that you are just a disease of ringworm and scabies. infestation.

This matter belongs to the strategic transformation of the Shanzhai. Wang Lun thinks it is better to communicate with the three military divisions under his command, make a complete conception and preparation, and then start to consider the transformation. Otherwise, he can go all out and break the city in Dengzhou Pay it back.

I believe that the views of the two military advisers should be similar to those of Wen Huanzhang. After all, the three eunuchs with different backgrounds beside the water are not simple people.

Since it is unreliable, Suo surname does not place any hope. It just so happens that the cottage's finances can only be stabilized by walking on two legs. (To be continued.)
