"I see. From now on, the hotel will remain open and we will continue to collect intelligence. Can this secret story be continued?"
Sun Lei nodded and looked at Zhu Gui and asked, "Wang Lun and the others are dead, and the source of private salt is cut off. We have to find a way to continue it."
"Private salt ships will come on the first and fifteenth day of every month. I think they will also send salt on the fifth day of next month. As long as you pay then, you should be able to renew."
Zhu Gui said that the change of the leader of the village in Liangshan has not spread yet. As long as the salt dealers in Cangzhou don't take the initiative to publicize it, they will have no way of knowing about it. Everything will be easy to handle when they get online.
"Okay, you will be responsible for receiving them then."
Sun Lei nodded, as long as this business road can be continued.
"Brother, should we sell this salt to Jeju Prefecture?"
Zhu Gui asked again.
"We'll see then."
Sun Lei thought for a while and said, selling to the Jeju government is a good choice, but his identity is different from Wang Lun. He is a wanted criminal by the court, and he also has a blood feud with Gao Qiu. In this case, dealing with the government is very dangerous. For the Jeju government To put it bluntly, it would not be a dream to catch him and give it to Gao Qiu to even upgrade to level three or five.
"Xiaowu, do you know all the fishermen around Liangshanbo?"
Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaowu and asked.
"Brother, I don't dare to say that we are all familiar with each other, but we can always look familiar."
Ruan Xiaowu replied.
"Go tell those fishermen that fishing can be done outside Liangshanbo in the future, but you will have to charge a certain amount of money."
Sun Lei said.
"Brother, we still need to charge money for this!"
Ruan Xiaowu was very puzzled when he heard this. This fisherman couldn't make much money from fishing in a day. How could anyone come to collect the money?
"You don't charge money? This Liangshan Po belongs to our brothers, and you also have a share in it. You don't charge money when people come to your fish pond to fish?"
Sun Lei explained that he knew that Ruan Xiaowu still had no sense of belonging to Liangshanbo. Ruan Xiaowu and the others regarded Liangshanbo more as a temporary residence, which was in line with their thoughts. They were not ready to stay in Liangshanbo for the rest of their lives. If One day the imperial court came to suppress them and they had no choice but to flee.
"Of course we charge!"
Ruan Xiaowu immediately understood the meaning. Liangshanbo belonged to them now, and that was their own land. If others came to make a living, they would be tenants. There was no reason not to collect money.
"Another point is that we have fallen behind now. We are always going against the government. If the fishermen are allowed to approach the water at will, it will also be a threat to the safety of the village."
Sun Lei added that fishermen can come to fish, but only in the periphery and not close to Liangshan.
"Brother, don't worry, I'm measured!"
Ruan Xiaowu clasped his fists at Sun Lei seriously. He was very excited. This was the most serious and important thing he had done in the past 20 years. It was also the first serious thing after Liangshan was conquered. He must do it well.
"It depends on how much you charge. I'm not very familiar with fishing."
Sun Lei nodded with satisfaction and said, fishing is really tiring, but if you want to make money, you can make money. Fish, especially large fresh fish, are expensive, no less expensive than beef and mutton. When Wu Yong approached the three brothers of the Ruan family, the excuse was that a wealthy man wanted to buy a dozen or so golden carp weighing 14 to 15 pounds. The price must be high even if a wealthy man couldn't buy it easily. The three brothers of the Ruan family replied that it would not be difficult to buy three to fifty carps on weekdays. , but I can’t catch big fish in the deep water of Liangshanbo.
There is another meaning in opening up fishing, that is, there are not a few people who make a living by fishing near the eight hundred miles of water. The village has too few people now, and it is too difficult to prohibit fishing for a long time. Many of them are like the three brothers of the Ruan family. In this way, it is better to block things than to open them up. Instead of causing public dissatisfaction, it is better to open an opening and gain a good reputation.
"Don't worry, brother, your own property will never let others take advantage of it!"
Ruan Xiaowu patted his chest and said, once he thought that Liang Shanbo belonged to his family, he would have more ideas.
After arranging things, Zhu Gui went down the mountain to the Li family crossing. It was important to inquire about the news, while Ruan Xiaowu went to contact the fishermen.
"Xiao Qi, come with me down the mountain to pick up my mother and sister-in-law!"
Sun Lei stood up and said to Ruan Xiaoqi that Liangshan had been captured and it was time to go down the mountain to pick up people. Since the grass had fallen, it would be too dangerous for family members to stay at the foot of the mountain.
"Oh, my brother was so thoughtful, I almost forgot about it!"
Ruan Xiaoqi patted his head and said. He was so excited that he almost forgot that my mother and sister-in-law were still in Shijie Village.
"I think you are used to floating on the water. Others don't think about it, and your mother doesn't remember it either?"
Sun Lei hit Ruan Xiaoqi on the head. This guy was so used to being carefree that he even forgot about my mother.
"Brother, isn't this exciting? I didn't expect that we would conquer Liangshan right now, hehe!"
Ruan Xiaoqi smiled sheepishly.
"Okay, let's go down the mountain to pick someone up!"
Sun Lei didn't say anything else. Ruan Xiaoqi was not an unfilial person. In the original book, he was demoted to a commoner in the end and took his mother back to Shijie Village to fish and live in retirement.
After getting on the boat, Ruan Xiaoqi was so excited that he rocked the boat very fast.
"Slow down, or the boat will capsize! Can you row in those clothes?"
Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaoqi, who was wearing an exaggerated brocade robe, and said, as soon as this guy thought about going back to the village, he went to find a gorgeous brocade robe to put on. This robe turned out to be Du Qian's, and Du Qian was better than Ruan Xiaoqi. He was a head taller and the robe was too big. Ruan Xiaoqi's dress was funny and ridiculous.
"Don't worry, brother, wearing these clothes won't affect your boating!"
Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile. In his mind, it was a return home in fine clothes. Naturally, he couldn't wear the old rags. As for the clothes that didn't fit him, he didn't care. He wanted to tie up a piece of brocade on his body now.
The boat passed through patches of reed swamps and soon entered Shijie Lake.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Ruan Xiaoqi docked the boat and shouted to the village.
"Why!"
Sun Lei shook his head helplessly, Ruan Xiaoqi still wanted to make this known to everyone.
"Xiao Qi, what are you doing? Do you want to sing?"
The old woman looked at Ruan Xiaoqi, who was wearing a large brocade robe, with confusion on her face.
"What kind of show are you singing? I'm here to take my mother up to the mountain to enjoy her happiness!"
Ruan Xiaoqi straightened her robe, then ran to my mother and started talking.
"Sister-in-law, pack up and go up the mountain!"
Sun Lei saw Zhang standing in the yard, so he stepped forward and said.
"Uncle, did you capture that fortress?"
Zhang still didn't realize it. It had only been two days, but Sun Lei and the others had conquered a mountain stronghold? This was a little too fast. Her family had been officers, soldiers or instructors for generations, and she also knew some military common sense.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, some minor roles have been solved."
Sun Lei nodded.
Zhang didn't say anything else, she bowed to Sun Lei and took Jin'er to pack her things.
"Where are Xiao Er and Xiao Wu?"
On Ruan Xiaoqi's side, my mother was still asking Ruan Xiaoqi about things, and she seemed a little unconvinced. After Ruan Xiaoqi introduced her two brothers in detail on the mountain, I finally believed it.
Ruan Xiaoer's daughter-in-law was very quick, and she packed her things in just a few clicks. Ruan Xiaoer should have told her before she left that she could live a good life in the future, so she couldn't wait any longer.
Sun Lei brought a dozen men with him when he went down the mountain this time. It didn't take long for him to load everything onto the boat and go up to Liangshan while it was dark.
Sun Lei didn't ask Ruan Xiaoqi to say anything to the villagers. They were going to Luocao, not to be officials, and it was not appropriate to have any interactions with ordinary people. Otherwise, these would be evidence of crime when the government came to suppress them in the future.
