Water Margin Survival

More than half a year ago, Song Jiang wrote an anti-poem in Jiangzhou, saying: "Dare to laugh at Huang Chao's not a husband!" At this time, Qiu Qian said it was Huang Chao again. It seems that this down-to-earth scholar who disturbed Li Tang was still very famous in the Song Dynasty. big. .

"After my flowers bloom, hundreds of flowers will kill? The whole city will be filled with golden armor?" Wang Lun laughed and asked, "Why doesn't the county magistrate ask me if I am aspiring like Liu Bang?"

"The Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty defeated the White Snake Rebellion, resisted the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, and finally established the Great Han Dynasty. His achievements will go down in history. Although the village master has great ambitions, my Song Dynasty officials are not harsh. How can the village master become Liu Bang?" Qiu Qian replied with a sneer.

Although Jiao Ting didn't quite understand what he heard, he could tell that the little civil servant in front of him was laughing at his brother, and couldn't help shouting: "You corrupt official, don't you think my Liangshan sword is not good for you!"

Qiu Leng snorted and remained silent, Jiao Ting was about to explode, but saw Wang Lun waved his hand, and said to Qiu Xian: "The officials are not strict, but the subordinates are all people who scrape bones and oil; You are violent, but your subordinates are full of people who don't care about the common people; Qiu Xiancheng, you are a sensible person, if all the confidantes you use in the county are doing evil and destroying evil people, I will call you a dog official, you Would you feel innocent?"

Qiu Xian was speechless by Wang Lun's words for a while. At this time, Cai Jing has controlled the government for more than ten years, and the dynasty is full of turmoil. Either dogs bite dogs, or ghosts fight ghosts. The character is no stranger to these, so he naturally knows that what the other party said is the truth.

"I heard that the county magistrate was born as a Jinshi, and Wang is just a down-and-out scholar, but there is a reason, Wang still knows! If you want to judge the quality of a high-ranking person, the most intuitive way is to see who he uses! Occasionally Using one or two sycophants may be a mistake in judging people, but occasionally one or two sages are used, and most of the time they are mixed with people like Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Gao Qiu. You say that such an official, Is it just that Sheng Cong was deceived?" Wang Lun looked at Qiu Xian, and mercilessly pierced those childish illusions of "the emperor is still good, but was deceived by his ministers" word by word.

Qiu Jianqian let out a long sigh and was speechless for a long time.Wang Lun's words made him indisputable, but there was really nothing to argue for these people. The officials and Cai Jing were not only close friends in art, but the officials couldn't do without Cai Jing's means of making money for him and ensuring his enjoyment. However, although the officials tried to depose Cai Jing before, the later prime ministers did not serve him as comfortably as Cai Jing did.

Seeing Qiu Xian was rendered speechless by Wang Lun's words, Jiao Ting secretly felt refreshed.If he hadn't heard from his elder brother that this guy was a good official, he would have made him look good a long time ago.Although he didn't quite understand what Wang Lun said just now, he could still see the situation clearly.At this time, he suddenly thought that such an official is no better than a hero in the Jianghu. The men in the Jianghu look down on each other, and everyone can see who is high or not by their fists.It's just that when you meet a scholar, if you beat him up, if you beat him up, he still won't be convinced.To completely convince him to admit defeat, the most refreshing thing is to make him unable to speak on top of his best tongue.

But at this time, what the elder brother said obviously gained the upper hand.Looking at the surnamed Qiu who was full of confidence just now, now he is too embarrassed to say more about his last words.Jiao Ting smiled and watched the situation continue to develop.

Qiu bowed his head and said nothing, Wang Lun didn't urge him, he just looked at the majestic palace city from a distance, and at this moment, he only heard Qiu Xian say from behind: "Which dynasty or generation didn't suppress the government? In the end, there will be people with lofty ideals and strong ambitions. Get rid of these fellows in one fell swoop, and give me a bright future in Da Song!"

"When Qiu County Prime Minister becomes prime minister, Cai Jing doesn't need you to get rid of him. He will die of old age!" Wang Lun shook his head and said, the current situation does not allow Da Song, a sick body, to detoxify himself. In a few years, a new neighbor with a sharp knife , is about to debut.At that time, it will not be a few cells fighting in the body, the other party is the best to kill you, if they are unable to do so, even if the next best thing is the next best thing, they will amputate your limbs and disassemble them.

Chou Wenyan was silent for a long while, and suddenly saw Chou raised his head, looked at Wang Lun and said, "Even if the court is full of traitors, you are not the master of the Wangzhai, you can fight against them, they hold the state's public weapons, and you are just a corner You break the Daming Mansion today, tomorrow your name will be remembered by these people, especially Cai Jing, you ruined his son-in-law's future, how can he tolerate you! Village Master, you are also a sensible person, you should know In the eyes of these traitors, personal enmity is far more urgent than public affairs."

Wang Lun laughed when he said that, and saw that he was imitating his own tone, and said seriously: "Unfortunately, I'm afraid that Qiu Xiancheng really hit the mark. I agree with your opinion very much. Cai Jing, the prime minister of the court, will soon be general The reason why I sent a large army to conquer Liangshanbo was not because I, Wang Lun, broke the national city, but because I offended his son-in-law! Qiu Qian, do you think this court can still be saved?"

Qiu Xian's face froze, and he said immediately: "Master Wang, since you also know the upcoming result, why do you want to open a warehouse to release food and confuse the people to go east to Liangshan with you?"

"If you don't open the granary to release grain, do you want to steal it and sell it to greedy Liang Shijie and Wang Wancang? Qiu Xiancheng, do you know how much grain was in the granary when Liang Shijie took office? 380 million shi! Do you know how much grain is in the granary now? 270 million shi! Where did the food in the middle go?!" Wang Lun said coldly, "I am afraid that many people will be liberated if I break the Daming Mansion in Liangshan, and I am afraid that countless bad debts will be charged to Wang Lun in the future. up!"

"Qiu, I'll distribute this 150 million shi of grain to the people. It's better than asking corrupt officials to be greedy for ink. It's better than staying in the future..." At this point, Wang Lun suddenly stopped. After defending for more than 250 days, there was not much resistance in other places, and it was easy for the Jin people to drive straight into the heart of this empire.

"The food is paid by the people, and it's nothing to do with them. It's a pity that you shouldn't do this kind of thing!" Qiu Xian sighed, looked at Wang Lun and said, "Every family distributes ten stones of food. Great handwriting, I am famous and the people are simple and simple people, if you come to the top and shout, there will be no followers?"

"The government's corpse is a vegetarian meal, and if they don't do anything to the people, don't they allow others to do something?" Wang Lun asked rhetorically.

"You showed them a fleeting scene, and soon you made them fall from the sky to the bottom of the valley. What is your intention in doing this?" Qiu Qian clenched his hands, his face excited.Just now when Wang Lun bluntly said that the official family is a fool, he was not as angry as he is now.

Wang Lun remained calm and said, "How do you know they will fall from the sky to the bottom of the valley?"

"A mere Liangshanpo in your area can fight against the world's elite soldiers? Let's talk about annihilating ministers in the court. Each of them has some skills. Cai Jingshan has money, Tong Guanjiu's army, but he is also a seasoned man who knows soldiers. Xixia Kingdom is now in his Western Army's elite soldiers My subordinates are already submissive. How capable are you, Liang Shanbo, and dare to say that you are better than Xixia? This time you broke the Daming Mansion, you are a person registered in the imperial court, and your fate is inevitable. Tell me, why do you bother? Pull these people to be buried with you!?" Qiu Qian said indignantly.

"I didn't expect Qiu Xiancheng to work so hard for my cottage!" Wang Lun laughed. Don't be afraid of Cai Jing's revenge! Since we dare to recruit people to go up the mountain, no matter how many tens of thousands, we can naturally arrange them properly so that they can live a carefree life for the rest of their lives!"

"Wang Zhaizhu, if a person is too confident, it is the time of danger!" Qiu Qian warned: "As the saying goes, 'a person who is about to die, his words are also good!' I am a person who is about to die, and today I said If you say so, since Wall Master Wang doesn't care about it at all, it means that Wall Master Wang still has something to rely on, but your eight hundred miles of water is really a gap that the court cannot bridge? Don't say anything, maybe I really can't change Wall Master Wang decision. It’s just that I have a request, and the village master Wanwang Wang agrees!”

Seeing Wang Lun saying this, he nodded slightly and said, "Please tell me!"

"Every time the village owner goes to a place, he will open a warehouse to release grain. This time he broke the Daming Mansion. Facing the 15 households of the Daming, he still did not change his original intention. Each household distributed ten stones of grain. Such a boldness, the lower officials admire! I am also willing I believe that the village master is a person who loves the people!" When Qiu Qian said this, he changed the topic, "It's just that in the future, when the village master is unable to take care of these people, I hope the village master will remember what he said today to let the people live the rest of their lives. Be carefree!"

Hate, ah, hatred!Wang Lun shook his head and smiled. This person first pushed himself into the group of good people in order to make himself responsible to the people, and unceremoniously insisted that he was still destined to be defeated.

"It's easy to agree to your request, but there is a premise, please agree to my request!" Wang Lun said looking at Qiu Xian.

Qiu was stunned, and looked at Wang Lun puzzled, only to hear Wang Lun continue: "You said that these people will follow me, and sooner or later there will be no good end in the future! Well, I will save your life for the time being, and let you see it with your own eyes. Let's see that they will all have a good life in the future! During this period, you can't seek short-sightedness, and you can't act rashly!"

"Forget it, then I'll live a few more days and see how you make the people live well!" Qiu Qian replied.

"Since you stick to your point of view, and I stick to mine, there will be someone who will admit his mistake in the future. So, do you dare to bet with me? No matter who loses, we have to listen to the other party's advice. How about it?" ?” Wang Lun laughed.

"What are you betting on? Who will determine who loses? If I persuade you to recruit, you will listen to serve the country?" Qiu Qian replied.

"A gentleman's covenant, just you and me, we must know who wins and who loses! As for what to bet on, it depends on whether I can properly arrange the people who are throwing mountains, so that they will be free from worries for the rest of their lives!" Wang Lun laughed. He said, "Of course, if you are afraid that I will go back on my word, you can also appoint a middleman now!"

Qiu stared at Wang Lun for a long time, and finally said in surprise: "Could it be that you wanted to recruit security, but no one connected, so you found me?"

It seems that in Qiu Xian's mind, Wang Lun is doomed. (To be continued.)
