Water Margin Survival

In the Juyi hall, Wang Lun and the two military advisers rushed to Huang Xin's report after hearing Huang Xin's report, and when the two leaders of the first battalion of the Ma army left, Xiao Jiasui stood up with a smile and said to Wang Lun: "Brother, there are six thousand more The surname is Shangshan, and my younger brother can't sit still, so let's take a look!"

Wang Lun nodded and said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, the high-ranking officials will tell Brother Song Wan to prepare more delicious food, and then ask Du Qian to allocate a batch of winter clothes. These common people will travel hundreds of miles with their children It's not easy to go up the mountain!"

Xiao Jiasui smiled knowingly, and said, "Even if the elder brother doesn't say anything, the younger brother will ask the elder brother to fight back to Qiufeng!" Wang Lun has been entrusted to Xiao Jiasui to be responsible for the affairs of the people in the cottage. Well done, relieved Wang Lun of a lot of pressure.

Of course, the so-called pressure is only manifested in the affairs.Wang Lun knew that Liang Shanbo wanted to do something overseas in the future, and the population base was a very important indicator. Regarding immigrants, Wang Lun's attitude was that the more the better.When these people land and take root, these lands are truly in the hands of the tribe.It's just that Jeju Island may not have much land to distribute to the people who take refuge in their families. This is a problem. I saw him pondering slightly, called Xiao Jiasui, and asked Xu Guanzhong: "The Liao Kingdom calls the Daming Mansion silk silk Zhou, among our group of people, are there any people with backgrounds in mulberry and silkworm cultivation?"

"There should be, I guess there are quite a few! Although the mulberry farmers are rich, there are still a small number of people who own mulberry fields. Most of the landless people are like farmers, and they mostly work as tenants with big families. I think there should be a lot of mulberry farmers among the people who go up the mountain." !" Xu Guanzhong said thoughtfully, "What does brother mean?"

"Guan Zhong has never been to Jeju Island, so you don't know some things! There is a big mountain in the middle of this island, which covers a large area. Many mountain lands cannot be farmed, but they can be used!" Wang Lun smiled.As far as he knows, Japan, which is across the sea from Jeju Island, can develop a large-scale mulberry planting industry, and Jeju Island is not far from it, and has a similar climate.It shouldn't be a big problem.Immediately said: "We can try it first to see if it is suitable for large-scale planting of mulberry trees!"

"You can try it. The original trees on the island can also be cut down to build a city and a ship. It's a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!" Xiao Jiasui clapped his hands and smiled, "I'll go down and screen it, little brother. Picking out the sangnong can also help the news Don't worry, sir!"

"It's Chinese New Year, Mr. Wen and the others are overseas, so they don't know how they are doing!" Wang Lun sighed.

"There are many brothers over there, so he won't be lonely either!" Xiao Jiasui comforted, and persuaded, "My brother hasn't rested for almost two days and one night, so let's go back and rest first!"

Not to mention that Wang Lun hasn't felt it yet.At this time, after hearing Xiao Jiasui's words, he felt tired. Wang Lun stretched his waist and said, "I'll go back and take a nap first. Everyone, don't stay too long. Don't be in a hurry. It's New Year's Eve." Let's rest first!"

Seeing that Xiao Jiasui and Xu Guanzhong saw that they both got up with a smile, they said, "Don't worry, brother, let's go down and rest after we finish what we are doing! After all, there is a reception banquet for the six leaders in the evening, and we are not good at drinking, so come late." If you do, you will be fined for drinking!"

In order to comfort Wang Lun, the two military advisers said it very lightly, but in fact they still had a lot of things in their hearts. After all, although the immediate predicament was solved, if the burden of passing on the jade seal of the country could not be unloaded, the future troubles of the cottage would be very small.

Wang Lun saw that his two humerus couldn't help but didn't say anything. Everyone was thinking about the future of this cottage, which made him feel relieved. He felt that his hard work was not in vain. He said immediately: "At most half Go to sleep for an hour, I want someone to keep an eye on you two!"

Xiao Jiasui and Xu Guanzhong laughed loudly when they heard the words, and said "Don't dare to disobey the order". Wang Lun nodded and smiled, and the three of them were about to go out. : "Brother, there is no need for Chief Zhu Gui to inquire around, the story has some clues, my two uncles have family heirlooms to offer!"

Thinking that the two heads of the Meng family are both from the Jingzhao Mansion, Wang Lun thought of Gu Yu's head when he heard it, and he was overjoyed. He saw Meng Xiao carefully handing over a thing wrapped in red silk. , said: "This is a family heirloom handed down by the villain's ancestors. It has not been carved. I heard that the cottage is looking for a thousand-year-old jade. The villain is here to present the treasure!"

After finishing speaking, I saw Meng Er pulling away the red silk, revealing a large piece of ancient jade. Xiao Jiasui's eyes were sharp, and seeing that the ancient jade was very similar to the jade seal of the Chuan Kingdom stolen by Shiqian, he was ecstatic and praised: "What a piece of blue field!" Ancient jade, the fineness is so rare, where can you find it in the world?!"

When Meng Er heard this, his face was filled with joy, and he introduced: "This jade was obtained from my ancestors. It has been passed down to my elder brother and me for thousands of years, and I have never been willing to carve it into shape! I don't want it to be useful at this time, and Count it as a blessing! Therefore, when I heard my brother-in-law just now, my brothers and I were very happy, and we are willing to dedicate it to the cottage!"

After all, Meng Er was a businessman, and he spoke very beautifully. Wang Lun smiled and nodded to his two brothers, saying: "Such a treasure, the cottage can't be taken in vain! According to me, this thing is of great significance to my cottage. The value of ten thousand gold is small..."

Hearing this, Meng Da hurriedly confessed: "My two brothers and my brother-in-law's family were all saved by the king. If they died at the beginning, this jade would be buried at home and no one would know about it. It is almost like a waste stone. ! If Chief Wang thinks highly of my two brothers, this jade will be given to the cottage as a gift, and don’t ask for half a coin!"

Pei Xuan looked at his two brothers-in-law with emotion, and praised them for doing a good job. After all, knowing kindness is the most basic quality of a person, and he said immediately: "Brother, two military advisors, this is my brother-in-law. The two wives and uncles expressed their kindness, and please accept it with a smile! If this piece of jade is precious, it is not as precious as the lives of our family!"

Unexpectedly, this iron-faced man could utter such words from his square mouth. Wang Lun looked back at the two military advisers with emotion. They knew what Wang Lun wanted and refused to call the people around them At a disadvantage, Xiao Jiasui only heard Xiao Jiasui say: "Pei Kongmu is my brother, brothers are in trouble, it is common for both sides to stab a knife, one yard is worth one yard, we must not take this thing for nothing in the cottage!"

Seeing this, Meng Er became anxious, and said: "My brothers are also from the cottage, Mr. Xiao is obviously out of touch!"

Wang Lun waved his hand and immediately affirmed Xiao Jiasui's statement, but he refused to accept it in vain.Meng Er was in a hurry, what else to say.At this time, Meng Da said: "Forget it! I will sell it to the cottage, and the villain will ask for a tael of gold, and I won't sell it for a penny!"

Xu Guanzhong had been watching the scene in front of him with great interest, and couldn't hold back for a while.I couldn't help laughing until my eyes were moist.He shook his head and sighed: "The business experience of the two of you is an eye-opener for me!"

Meng Er chuckled.Said: "Xu Junshi has spoken, I will take it as a deal!" After speaking, he hugged the jade into Xu Guanzhong's hands, Xu Guanzhong couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "I can't be the master!"

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Wang Lun.Seeing this, Wang Lun sighed, "Forget it, one tael is one tael, I'm sending a picture to you, how about it?"

Ermeng was overjoyed and said with a smile: "If we can get a copy of the village master, we don't even want this money!"

Wang Lun said with a smile: "My word is still written on gold. Don't do it!" Turning around and spreading out the pen and paper, Xu Guanzhong saw this and grinded it himself, only to see Wang Lun dipped in ink and wrote on the rice paper: "A piece of gold is worth ten thousand pieces of gold. Do justice to Chang'an Meng!"

The two brothers couldn't help being overjoyed when they saw this. When Wang Lun used the seal, he stepped forward and carefully blew the ink. Pei Xuan also smiled and nodded at the side, and praised sincerely: "The handwriting of the village master alone is extraordinary, isn't it? Were the examiners blind back then?"

Although Wang Lun did not accept the slightest memory of his "predecessor", the handwriting was still passed down.In all fairness, Pei Xuan was not flattering. The "Wang Lun" who was merged by Lin Chonghuo was quite impressive.Although it is not as good as the treacherous minister Cai Jing's skills, it also has a special charm.

Everyone gossiped for a while, and when the ink was dry, the Meng brothers and Pei Xuan took their leave. Wang Lun personally sent them to the door, and the three went back happily. General treasure.

Wang Lun sighed, seeing the three people walking away, he ordered the sergeant at the door: "Send Jin Dajian to see you!"

Xiao Jiasui saw that there was an important matter, so he stayed for the time being, and the three of them returned to the hall. At this time, something important happened in their hearts, and they were all happy. Xu Guanzhong joked: "It seems that my brother woke up an hour and a half late. sleep!"

"As long as there are no troubles in the cottage, what does it matter if I don't sleep for one day or two days!" Wang Lun shook his head and laughed. Asked: "Brother is so anxious, why call younger brother? But the jade has been found?"

Wang Lun asked with a smile, "What experience have you gained from observing the jade seal these days?"

"My younger brother sees that the craftsmanship of the jade seal is ingenious, but it is not impossible to imitate. The main reason is that the material is hard to find. Even if the younger brother makes it exactly the same, the difference in material is too big, so it is easy for people to see through!" Jin Dajian said honestly.

Xu Guanzhong chuckled, pointed at the table, and said, "Look at this piece of jade, do you like it?"

Jin Dajian thought to himself that it is impossible to find good materials so quickly?At that moment, half-believing and dubious, he stepped forward to uncover the red silk, and saw an uncarved jade in front of this rare artisan in the world. Touch it with your hands, touch your fingers warm and moist, check it again, feel overjoyed, and praise: "Good treasure, good treasure! This material is very firm in jade, it can't be cured by kunwu knife or toad fat!"

When Wang Lun saw him, he didn't ask where he came from. He was full of technical terms, nodded and smiled and said, "Then I'll give it to you! You don't have to rush to work during the Chinese New Year in these two days, and start imitating it after the next year!"

Jin Dajian bowed to accept the order, but he made up his mind to turn around and fix the seal. To be honest, he was relatively relaxed in the cottage. Apart from engraving seals for the leaders with a dozen apprentices, at most he imitated the seals of state officials from various places, and there was not much work. , it was quite comfortable, but he was quite envious of the fate of his best friend Xiao Rang, and he didn't want to be too comfortable at the moment, so he said: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely do my best to handle this matter well." !"

Wang Lun nodded with a smile, watched Jin Dajian go, and sighed: "Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng! How can we send out this fake seal, and who should we give it to?"

Although Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui are well-educated people, they can't figure out the origin and allusion of this only owes Dongfeng, but they understand Wang Lun's meaning, this plan of replacing peaches with plums, who will be the plum tree? ?

I saw Xiao Jiasui pondering for a moment, and said: "This fake seal must not be given directly to the imperial court. Although Zhao Guan's family can do nothing, they are top experts in gold and stone appreciation. If it falls into his hands, I am afraid that they will be suspected of being betrayed! Among them, besides me, Liang Shanbo, there are three other powers that are quietly rising, namely Tianhu from the east of the river, Wang Qing from the west of the capital, and Fangla from the south of the Yangtze River! These three families are quite ambitious, and their desire for the jade seal of the country is definitely beyond ordinary people! It is someone who swallows it and will never let it go, if we can 'gift' the fake seal to any of these three families, our crisis in Liangshanbo will be resolved!"

Wang Lun and Xu Guanzhong looked at Xiao Jiasui with a smile, wanting to listen to what he was going to say, only to see Xiao Jiasui took a sip of tea and said:

"Although Wang Qing had some troubles with my village before, it's just that his military adviser has a relationship with his elder brother, not to mention that our two villages have some business contacts. He has turned an enemy into a friend, so he can rule it out! He Dong Tianhu is a man of great ambition and talent. He is quite influential in Hebei and Hedong, which is a good choice! There is also Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River. Although this person has not had any dealings with our cottage, I heard that he is quite famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Religious doctrine wins people's hearts, and although it is not king at this time, its influence among the people cannot be underestimated, and it is a very good next door!"

Xu Guanzhong laughed and said: "If Wang Qing knew that our jade seal would rather be given to Bill than to him, I don't know how to be angry!"

Wang Lun smiled, and said, "Our official Xiao has good intentions!" The Tian Hu and Fang La proposed by Xiao Jiasui are indeed suitable candidates. In terms of the strength of the two companies, although Fang La did not commit any crimes at this time, but Tian Hu's strength is obviously higher than Tian Hu's by more than one level. After all, the latter's few generals all call themselves Liangshan heroes at this time.

Just when Wang Lun and Xu Guanzhong were thinking hard according to the ideas provided by Xiao Jiasui, Wang Lun suddenly smiled and said: "We are thinking hard here, but it is not in vain? In fact, it still depends on what suitable encounters are there. This jade seal can fall into the hands of this next family without arousing suspicion! As for who will take over the fake seal in the future, it depends on the fate of the individual!"

After Wang Lun finished speaking, both Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui laughed and sighed: "We are not crazy. No matter how good our calculations are, we still have to see whether others cooperate or not!"

Wang Lun smiled and said seriously: "Guan Zhong will tell Zhu Gui later, tell him to pay close attention to the movements in Hebei and Jiangnan. What we need to do now is the word 'wait'!"
