After drinking six drinks, even though Mi Yuhuai tried his best to suppress the churning taste in his stomach, his alcoholism was also welling up. He never said a word from the beginning to the end. Now he couldn't hold back the words. He looked at the peak of the monument with drunken eyes and spoke arrogantly. He spoke vaguely.
"Think about how talented our gang leader was back then. He just led a small number of people and traveled all over the country. He made this caravan as if it were rolled with gold. How talented he was, and his skills were even more impressive. Back then, he fought with people from other gangs in the street, and he could fight with just one hand. He can suppress the incoming enemy. It is obvious that he is not tall in stature, but he has such extraordinary physical strength, which really makes us jealous."
Li Wuji was also slightly drunk and echoed, "This is true. When we followed the gang leader into Fengyou County, we really encountered people from outside gangs who came to pick trouble every day. But until the horse gang established a gang, I took action. The number of times was only one or two tenths of that of the gang leader, and the methods he saw were all ordinary, but even if the fists were swinging at will, it was difficult to dodge when facing the opponent. Most of them were hit hard and hit several times, and the whole body was so soft that it was difficult to hold on. Now that I think about it, if the caravan helmsmen were in one place and competed with our gang leader, it would be difficult to gain any advantage."
"But such a man, who is capable of both civil and military skills, is so stubborn." The scholar was obviously drunk. He took pictures of the table several times, holding back his face until it turned red. "Knowing that he was I have a chronic illness, but I don’t want to take some time off to seek medical advice. Even I didn’t know that the disease was already deep in my body. Even if you He Zhaoling is a high-ranking official in the dynasty and has everything to do, why don’t you want to find those people? The Immortal family, having gained a great career as a caravan in exchange for more than ten years of their lives, is unwilling to spend some gold and silver to treat themselves."
"Put this 10,000-kilogram burden on the shoulders of a sour scholar like me, but I am happy and free. I deserve to be beaten."
Mi Yuhuai drank another glass of wine and her face turned redder.
"The past can no longer be forgotten. Instead of keeping my thoughts in my arms all day long, it would be better to talk about it happily like today." Captain Wang followed a cup and smacked his lips as he looked at the drunken scholar in front of him. He said loudly, "Since the leader has placed the great responsibility on Mi Gongfeng's shoulders, we must do our best to take on the responsibility no matter what. Don't let the leader's efforts in this life be wasted."
The words He Zhaoling left before leaving clearly stated that after he left, everyone in the caravan would respect Mi Yuhuai as its leader, and at least find someone who could take on important tasks, such as going on a long trip by himself. If the leader of the caravan is not around, worship him First place.
Between the lines, the future direction of the caravan is clearly written.
The scholar waved his hands in annoyance and cursed with a stiff tongue, "Don't worry, we are all familiar with the big things and small things in the caravan. I can think of it from time to time. I always feel that there is a backbone on the top of the monument, but now there is no one in front of me. Human beings, all the strong winds in the vast expanse must be resisted by the bones and flesh of my body, so that the thousands of people behind me will not suffer the pain of the cold wind that scrapes their bones."
"Now that the leader of the gang has left, the person standing at the front will be replaced by me, a down-and-out scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken. How can I feel comfortable?"
URL m.
The two people at the table were both speechless.
It was Li Wuji who spoke first. He patted the scholar on the shoulder across the table and said with a forced smile, "Don't be so conceited, Mi Gong. How can you be responsible for all the big and small things in the gang? We expect these helmsmen to be like this." "Body, I really don't bother you to bear all the wind and waves alone. There is no saying before or after. It's better to stand together and weather the wind and rain ahead together."
The scholar waved his hand and put his face on the table, "It's easy to say that I, Mi Yuhuai, am not good at making friends with others, but after today's drink, I can treat you two as good friends and help you in the future. If you have any doubts, But it’s okay to talk. If there are any mistakes or omissions, I would like to ask you two to speak out. There is no need to be taboo.”
"In that case, I wonder if Mi Zongfang can tell me what the gang leader has asked me to do."
Li Wuji's expression changed slightly, he put away his relaxed expression just now, and looked at the scholar in front of him seriously.
"The Sheriff gave us a huge benefit. The gang leader guessed about it, but I never thought that the Sheriff was so generous. 30% of the salt and iron canal transportation was profited. But this Can the caravan really afford the huge profit? Not necessarily." Mi Yuhuai pressed her eyebrows, closing her eyes for a moment to ease her drunkenness, "The best way, as I expected, coincides with the gang leader, that is Yang Feng Yin Wei four words."
"Only you and I know about this matter. Even the other helmsmen have never told the outside world. A few days later, I want to divide the caravan into two. On the surface, I am carrying this gift from the county governor, but in fact We secretly sent half of the caravan's men to other counties, and even if it is unlikely to be successful within a few years, we cannot stay in Fengyou County for a long time."
Helmut Wang frowned, but was stopped by Li Wuji and did not speak.
"When I came to Fengyou County, there was no good land for Jianghu people to take root. Here, from the government to the common people, they did not dare to provoke anyone on the surface, but secretly they often looked at each other. It took many years, but it was just on the surface. Occupying a foothold, if it stays here for a long time, I don’t need to explain it. One will wax and wane and the other will grow, and it will definitely fall apart one day.”
"Secondly, the county guards have already taken action, so they will naturally have second and third hands. Although our power is not small, compared with the official family, if we really use thunder and anger, I am afraid that we will not be able to withstand it. , Although the immediate advantage is great, it really cannot be obtained for a long time."
The scholar narrated, although he was still drunk, but his eyes were bright and clear, but he was much sober. He tapped his fingers on the table, "Thirdly, the gang leader and I seem to have gone astray over the years. , originally just wanted to keep the people here warm and protect themselves from worries, but as the power of the caravan grew stronger and more powerful, it became more or less selfish, and wanted to use the caravan to firmly occupy this place and work with the merchants and officials. Let’s fight for it.”
"Now before leaving, the gang leader finally made the matter clear. He no longer fights against the group of smart businessmen and the officials who are eager to make achievements, but to protect people in the world from being looked down upon or bullied by others. "Although you don't do things with the sword in your hand, you can rely on your honest hands and money to make others dare not look down upon you."
The two helmsmen Li and Wang looked at each other and could not help but frown slightly. Although they were deeply drunk, they did not let the wine fascinate their minds. At this moment, they thought about it a little, and they roughly figured out what it was like, but they still felt It was difficult to speak, so I could only wait quietly for Mi Yuhuai to speak again.
The scholar knew what he was doing and did not delay. Instead, he gently placed a piece of bamboo chopsticks on the table. When the bamboo chopsticks were firmly established, he carefully released his hands supporting the bamboo chopsticks and looked up at the two people in front of him. , "Although it doesn't quite fit the current situation of the caravan, in my opinion, I still feel that it is most appropriate to compare it with this bamboo chopstick. Over the years, the caravan has indeed accumulated a strong power, and it is no different from other scattered gangs. Compared with the fingertips, it is of course much higher, just like bamboo chopsticks and a little finger."
But immediately the scholar exhaled the breath of alcohol and blew the bamboo chopsticks down.
Leader Wang finally couldn't hold it back and gave some advice: "The caravan can be said to be stable now. Although bamboo chopsticks are more likely to fall than short knuckles, the comparison of enshrining rice and rice is not very appropriate."
Indeed, as the leader Wang said, even if Fengyou County's caravan has lost its most important reliance on the county's shop, at least it still has the 30% of the salt and iron canal transportation allocated by the county guard personally. Even if the latter one day To change his mind and no longer want to admit the matter, firstly, he had to weigh whether the people in the caravan would agree, and secondly, with the current manpower of the caravan, he would be extremely confident in talking to anyone.
"You two might as well think about whether this salt and iron canal transportation is the lifeblood of the official family," Mi Yuhuai said calmly, picked up the bamboo chopsticks, picked up the side dishes on the table and put them into his mouth, "Give your lifeline to others , this is a very strange move, do you two think that since our caravan has strong men and horses, we can really capture it firmly?"
"At first glance, the foundation of the caravan is not shallow, but in addition to the merchants, there are also a whole county of common people and officials who are staring at the caravan. You might as well think carefully about whether this foundation is deep. Fengyou County has no It is a good soil for Jianghu people to settle down, but it is difficult to say that the foundation is deep. Although the remaining sporadic gangs are far less powerful than my caravan, they are better because no one is paying attention. They are like a fingertip standing in the distance. Compared to today It is even more difficult for a large caravan to fall down, not to mention the big trees attracting the wind, so everyone in the county will intentionally or unintentionally put their eyes and ears close to the caravan."
"Since the road is like walking on thin ice, how can we depend on the thickness of the river ice for the success and failure of a group of people?"
The scholar paused for a moment, and after the expressions of the two people in front of him changed slightly, he took a sip of half a glass of wine and continued, "But if this bamboo chopsticks are divided into several pieces and arranged throughout the Yizhang, it can be used for support everywhere. "Zhi Chong" is not a good word, but it can preserve the caravan's heritage for a long time."
Li Wuji didn't answer the phone for a long time, just drinking one glass after another. In the blink of an eye, he drank more than half a jar of strong liquor, and his face became gloomy. He pressed his eyebrows and cursed a few words, "I thought this gang was in trouble, so let's talk about it. If you hone your skills to a high level, you can make the caravan endless, but if you listen carefully now, it is more hurtful to the mind than when you were practicing martial arts."
Captain Wang was also filled with emotion, so much so that when he looked at the scholar in front of him, his expression showed a little pity. He raised his glass to toast from across the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Although I am in this position, I don’t know how much harder it is than practicing martial arts. Driving a horse and riding a carriage on weekdays does not consume much effort. It is different from the daily life of the caravan. It seems to be quite labor-saving. But if you think about it a little bit, if you are in this place and just think about how you will travel in the future, you will feel that your mind is like a mess. It is really more painful than the physical fatigue and sleepiness.
"Don't look at me like that," Mi Yuhuai returned to his original drunken appearance, belching two or three wine burps and smiling with mixed emotions, "This road was originally chosen by the gang leader, I just happened to be ahead of schedule. I’ve thought about it, but I’ve been delayed by everything and never thought about it deeply.”
"Until now, I have never figured out how someone who is clearly suffering from a chronic illness and is not far away from death can calm down and think so deeply, and how he can hide everything in his heart and break the situation before a life-and-death bet. "
The literati spoke softly, and the surrounding snow rotated with the wind. They had no fixed place, but could reflect the light of the sky.
