Mujiazhuang is built on a hill. Although this hill is not very high or wide, it has a name that makes money. It is called Yingang, and there is a large silver mine under this Yingang. It’s just that this silver The name of the post has been around for a long time, but no one knows who named it, and no one knows that there is a treasure buried under the post.
Until the ancestors of the Mu family came here, the ancestors of the Mu family were originally Feng Shui masters. They could see at a glance that there were treasures hidden here. After that, the ancestors of the Mu family no longer worked as Feng Shui masters, but built a Mu family village on the spot. , while privately mining silver mines secretly.
But how could it only be done by mining silver? So the Mu family opened a foundry to make silver coins privately. Moreover, the fineness of the silver coins cast by the Mu family was actually better than official silver. Once it entered the black market, it became very popular, and the Mu family made a fortune. , after several generations, the silver cast by the Mu family has been circulating in the north and south of the Yangtze River, and in the Hu and Song Dynasties.
Now, although the Mu family's wealth is not obvious, it is actually the richest man in the local area. There are thousands of customers in the village, and there are tens of thousands of workers in the mining factory.
However, after the Mu family became rich, the ancestor of the Mu family was rarely a foresighted person. He knew that if he only relied on this silver mine, he could become rich for a while, but the silver mine would eventually be exhausted. suffer.
Therefore, the ancestors of the Mu family left behind their ancestral precepts. For generations to come, everyone must study and practice martial arts, and they must have a skill. Each generation of Mu family patriarchs strictly abides by the ancestral precepts and hires famous teachers to teach their children to study and practice martial arts. Therefore, throughout the generations of the Mu family, All his descendants are good at both civil and military affairs. Although none of them hold official positions, they can be regarded as heirlooms in civil and military affairs and have a great foundation.
When it comes to the generation of brothers Mu Hong and Mu Chun, the two brothers are even more outstanding, far superior to Tongji. Mu Hong in particular has a long-term ambition. He is not only good at civil and military affairs, but also has great insights in the art of war. He often discussed military strategies with Li Jun, Zhang Shun and others, and vowed that if the country was in trouble, he would wear armor and go into battle to serve the country.
Wang Lun was greatly admired when he saw that although Li Jun and others were in the wilderness, they still cared about the people of their home and country. He immediately opened his heart, showed what he had learned, and discussed the power of the world with Li Jun, Mu Hong and others.
Wang Lun has learned from two lifetimes, and has been taught by experts. What he has learned is the essence of hundreds of schools in the world. With Wang Lun's current knowledge, he has already understood the past and the present. Not only is he unrivaled in the world, but he is also rarely matched. .
Wang Lun only made a brief appearance, but Li Jun and others had never heard of it. They immediately shocked Wang Lun and worshiped him. Li Jun and Mu Hong stood up to toast Wang Lun and begged Wang Lun to teach him more.
Wang Lun would not hide his secrets, regardless of his civil, martial arts or military strategies, but if he had any questions, he would answer them with all his heart, so as to clear up the confusion in everyone's minds.
After a heart-warming conversation with Wang Lun, many of the original confusions in Li Jun and Mu Hong's minds were suddenly solved one by one. They suddenly felt enlightened and admired Wang Lun even more. They wanted to worship Wang Lun as their teacher. meaning.
Wang Lun laughed and stopped him, and then said: "I'm not much older than you, so how dare I call myself a teacher in vain? Besides, what you two wise brothers have learned is not inferior to mine. They just don't know something. If there is something you want to know in the future, Even if you ask, I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything. From now on, we will only treat each other as brothers."
Li Jun and Mu Hong were overjoyed and immediately addressed Wang Lun as their elder brother. Li Li, Mu Chun, Tong Wei and Tong Meng also saluted Wang Lun and respectfully called Wang Lun their elder brother.
Xiao Wu was never interested in Wang Lun's brotherly loyalty. She only talked with Ping'er about the whispers of her daughter's family. However, she suddenly remembered the "bug" hanging on the car, so she became interested and immediately wanted to ask. An Daoquan.
Ping'er knew what Xiao Wu was going to say, but she couldn't ask such a disgusting thing at the wine table, so she quickly stopped her, causing Xiao Wu to hold her breath.
Xiaohu was listening to Wang Lun and others' talk. He was very interested and yearned for it. His eyes lit up. He admired Wang Lun's demeanor so much that he only hoped that when he grew up, he could become like him. Wang Lun is a great hero who is respected by heroes all over the world.
Zhao Yun was also fascinated by the anecdotes about the martial arts and martial arts, and asked Mu Hong: "Brother Mu, you just said that your family secretly opened a silver mine and minted silver money privately. For such a big thing, you are not afraid of being exposed." Did the government find out?"
"Brother Zhao Yun is honest." Mu Hong laughed loudly and said, "How could the government not know that my Mu family has been here for seven generations, and no one in the area knows what we have done, but the government has never touched any member of my Mu family. Brother Zhao Yun, do you know why?"
Zhao Yun shook his head, and Mu Hong smiled and said: "It's very simple. As long as you give me free money, all those officials will pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they will be stunned by the money. Who cares where your money comes from?" ! Who cares about such nosy things!"
Wang Lun shook his head and sighed, thinking that the officials of the Song Dynasty were so corrupt, how could they survive? Seeing Wang Lun shaking his head and sighing, Li Jun stood up and toasted Wang Lun, and said: "Brother, please listen to my heartfelt words." , the Yan Gang where my younger brother belongs, the Mu Family Village of the Mu brothers, and the Cao Gang of the Zhang brothers. Although we have some influence in the local area, we are wrongly loved by friends in the world and are called the Three Hegemons of Xunyang.
But we brothers never dare to do anything tyrannical. Although we are in the Jianghu, we are well aware of the sufferings of the people in the world. Our salt gang sells salt, the Cao Gang transports goods, and the Mu family mints money, and the profits we get are half of it. Helped the poor people.
There are three tyrants like us here. Why don't the people go to the government? It's not because they are afraid of oppression and revenge by us, but because they have received favors from us. I'm not bragging. When the people here have difficulties, the first thing they think of is not the government. Instead, they come to us. Whenever there is a famine, we are the ones who deliver food and provide relief.
Even this time, we asked Divine Doctor An to treat the people's illnesses. We paid for all the medicine and stones, and the people here did not spend a penny. We can be said to be acting on behalf of the government. I hope my brother knows this. "
"These worthy brothers are in the world, but they care about the people of their homeland, and everything they do is for the country and the people. How can I not know these great righteousnesses?" Wang Lun stood up, raised his glass and drank it down. Then he bowed deeply to Li Jun and others, and then said: "Brother, I deeply admire you. Please allow me to toast a few virtuous brothers."
Li Jun, Mu Hong and others were overjoyed. They all got up and had a drink together. Then everyone continued to drink. During this period, they also talked about Fangla's rebellion. However, they mentioned that the officers and soldiers were incompetent and retreated steadily in front of Fangla's army, which destroyed a large area of the country. At the time of the loss, everyone lamented that the situation was critical, fearing that the Song Dynasty would lose half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River within a few days.
Li Jun also said that Fang La had sent people to recruit him many times before, but they were all severely rejected by Li Jun and others. The brothers of the Salt Gang in Jiangnan had also clashed with Fang La's side several times, but they had not taken over. It's cheap, but it cost a lot of money.
Wang Lun then said: "Now that Fang La's army is in great power, we really can't attack it with force, lest we suffer more losses. Now we can only meander around to preserve our strength. If the situation is compelling, we can move northward and wait for the opportunity. I believe that although Fang La’s current situation is strong, it will not last long, and there will be a time to eliminate harm to the people in the future.”
Li Jun and others all nodded in agreement, then put aside the matter of Fang La and talked to themselves.
By this time, Mu Chun was already very drunk, and he asked Wang Lun with his tongue hanging out: "Brother is from Shandong, have you ever known Hubaoyi, Shandong, Songjiang and Songgongming?"
When Wang Lun saw Mu Chun asking about Song Jiang, he thought to himself, okay, here comes another one. Li Kui asked about it before at Xunyang Tower in Jiangzhou. Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng also asked about it last night. Mu Chun asked about it again today. It seems that this is Song Jiang. Everyone really knows his name!
"We are acquaintances of course." Wang Lun said with a smile: "Brother Song Gongming is my sworn brother. When I came from Shandong, I even stayed with brother Gongming."
Mu Chun and others were overjoyed to see Wang Lun recognize Song Jiang. They also saw that Wang Lun was Song Jiang's sworn brother, and they respected Wang Lun even more. They all talked about Song Jiang's benefits, how Song Jiang helped people in need, and how he rescued people. A hero in trouble.
"Brother, you don't know." Li Jun said with a smile: "We brothers have all been favored by Song Gongming, and brother also knows what we brothers do. It is inevitable that some of us will be in trouble when we are wandering in the world. when.
Once it falls into the hands of officials, let alone the local government, it has already been cleared. It is just a matter of entering through the front door and exiting through the back door. But if you lose it in another place, you will either lose your brother or be slapped with a huge sum of money by the local government. , only in Shandong, whenever a brother is in trouble, Song Gongming must come to help. Several of our brothers relied on Song Gongming's help to avoid disaster.
We and Song Gongming did not know each other, but it is admirable that he could be so eager for justice and justice. Although we later exchanged letters and gifts with Song Gongming, we never met him, so he has always been in our hearts. It's a pity, since my brother and Song Gongming are sworn brothers, I hope that he can introduce us to him someday. "
In his heart, Wang Lun actually disliked people like Song Jiang. Song Jiang used his position to release criminal heroes without permission, and at the same time offered small favors to win over people's hearts.
The most important thing for these heroes in the world is to repay their kindness. If they receive a favor, they will repay it twice as much. They don't care about money the most, so they will naturally give Song Jiang a lot of money.
After Song Jiang received bribes, he used the money to buy off Shangguan, build a network of connections, and then help other heroes in the world, in order to benefit himself, and at the same time, he gained a good reputation for being eager for justice.
What Song Jiang did, in the modern society of later generations, is an abuse of power and collusion under the umbrella of the underworld. It is a typical petty official and a huge corruption, and it is the target that should be severely attacked.
But now Li Jun wanted Wang Lun to introduce Song Jiang to him, and Wang Lun could only agree. At that moment, Wang Lun laughed and said, "This is natural."
Then Wang Lun praised Song Jiang without hesitation, and told Li Jun and others about Song Jiang's great achievements. After listening to this, Li Jun and others worshiped Song Jiang even more.
After a while, everyone had finished drinking, so Mu Hong ordered people to remove the remaining seats and serve tea to relieve the hangover.
Seeing that everyone had stopped drinking, Xiao Wu couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly asked An Daoquan: "Doctor An, before you said that the intestine-like thing was a kind of worm, or was it shot from the human stomach? , but how could this bug grow so big and grow in a person’s stomach? It wouldn’t bite the person to death! What on earth is this bug?”
Everyone saw Xiao Wu and asked about the bugs again. Although they felt a little disgusted, they couldn't help but be curious, especially Mu Hong and others. They also wanted to know. This made countless people sick and hundreds of people died in a radius of hundreds of miles. What is the origin of 'pest'.
Li Li was also sick, and had personally experienced the pain. He also swatted several long snake-like bugs out of his stomach. Thinking of the situation when those bugs came out of his body, he now feels numb. Hemp, so I want to know what these bugs are and how they get into the human stomach?
