Qu Xing dug up a pile of soil bitterly and cursed: "Sister-in-law, we are all heroes who go out to kill people, but why are we digging here? There is no shelter from the wind and rain for sleeping, and there is no place to eat." Meat, what a life you live!”
At the same time, Chai Qing said: "Brother, what's the use of complaining? You'd better work honestly. Master Luan Village chose this place, so he must clean it up first."
Qu Xing said: "Of course it's okay to work. But stewing vegetables in water every day, is this kind of life a human being?"
Chai Qing said: "There are no houses around for ten or twenty miles. Where can we get meat to eat?"
Qu Xing had nothing to say, he just kept mumbling and cursing, and he didn't know what he was scolding.
In the village hall not far away, Luan Qingshan looked at several leaders. He said: "Almost all the people who should come here have come, and we should do something. Everyone is aware of the surrounding situation. A few years ago, Jin Bing massacred the village. There were no homes within ten miles around, and the place was very desolate. Moreover, in this day and age, people from surrounding states and counties have fled, and it is impossible to recruit people to cultivate the crops. We have to rely on ourselves. We all eat light food in the mountains and have no wine. It is really difficult to live such a life. "
Xue Lei said: "What can the village leader do?"
Luan Qingshan said: "It will be a month or two before Wang Guanren sends the money. Water from afar cannot quench our thirst. We can't help but make a deal."
After hearing this, Ma Tang geared up and said, "Sister-in-law, the leader of the village is so right! How can we live like this? With no food or drink, we will go down the mountain to make a deal and get everything back!"
Xue Lei said: "There are a thousand gold troops in Jinzhou City, so we can't be careless."
Luan Qingshan smiled and said: "It's just a thousand soldiers, what can they do to us? Jinzhou has a radius of several hundred miles, let us do whatever we want!"
Lu Hui said: "A thousand gold soldiers are guarding the important place of Jinzhou. How can they control our village? As long as the commotion is not very big, they will not care!"
After several discussions, everyone felt that there was no need to consider Jinzhou's Jin army.
After discussing for a while, Ma Tang said: "Where will this deal be done? Has the village owner decided?"
Luan Qingshan took out a piece of paper and said to everyone: "I asked someone to check, and this is a suitable person within a hundred miles. He doesn't live in the city, and he is rich. We can return the money easily. Originally, I wanted to find out who had helped the Jin people and who were loyal to the court. I didn’t want to check these things. Those who were loyal to the court had either fled south long ago, or their family property had been robbed by the Jin people. There was no need to ask the remaining wealthy people. ”
"Straight thief, if that's the case, just grab them one by one! It's so easy to get money like this, it's better than cleaning up the copycats here!"
Luo Cang had long been impatient with the work of cleaning up the cottage. Hearing that there was so much business to do, he couldn't help but hold back.
Luan Qingshan said: "The cottage is the place where we live and settle down, so we can't be careless. We have to grab the money, and the cottage has to be cleaned up. When the weather gets warmer in a few days, the land under the mountain will be reclaimed and planted with crops. We will also buy some cattle and sheep. If you keep it, you will always have meat to eat.”
Luo Cang couldn't help but feel a little frustrated after hearing this. Why bother with a robber's den? Just shelter from the wind and rain. When you have time, you should eat meat, drink wine, gamble and have fun. Luan Qingshan had served as a soldier. As soon as he arrived at Baotei Village, he observed the terrain, arranged the camp, and found many ways for everyone to survive.
Give the paper to everyone. Luan Qingshan said: "Look, let's consult together as to which house we should go to."
Lu Hui said impatiently: "We soldiers are doing the job of killing people. Who has the patience to learn how to read and write? Village leader, just say which house you want to attack. No matter what the wind or rain, we will never give up!" "
Knowing that Lu Hui was illiterate, Luan Qingshan did not force himself and handed the paper to others. Said: "One person's wisdom is short, but everyone's wisdom is strong. Things still need to be discussed by everyone. Luo Cang, read the words above to Lu Hui."
Luo Cang didn't know much about literacy, so he asked Xue Lei next to him and read to Lu Hui.
After reading the writing paper, Ma Tang said: "Straight bitch, in such difficult times, there are still so many rich people! If you ask me, either from near to far, or from far to near, grab them one by one. If you rob one house a month, you can rob it for several years!"
Luan Qingshan said: "If you rob one family, other families must be on guard. Is there such a good thing there? Don't think too much, just see which one is suitable."
Several people's heads touched each other, and they discussed it for a long time.
Xue Lei said: "The owner of the village, Feng Yuanwai, a family outside Taiping County, has been doing silk business for generations. Now in Taiping County, his son is the military supervisor. Everyone around him is afraid. He is a rich family. He is not close to us. It’s far away, why not go and rob him.”
Luan Qingshan looked at it and said: "This family is indeed suitable, but it is closer to us. We live here, and we usually have to go to Taiping County to buy goods. We robbed Yuan Feng. Who doesn't know us there? We can go there in the future. It’s inconvenient.”
Ma Tang said: "If you don't rob Feng Yuanwai of Taiping County, then you can rob Wang Yuanwai of Quwo County. This family runs a herbal medicine shop and is the magistrate of Quwo County, so it makes a lot of money."
Luan Qingshan said: "You must know that the four counties of Yicheng, Quwo, Jiangxian and Yuanqu are behind Jiang Min in Shenshan County, and they have always been under his control. We can't go anywhere for business, lest we give up to Shenshan County. troops causing trouble.”
"This is not allowed, that is not allowed, it is up to the village leader!" Luo Cang was so impatient that he threw the paper in front of Luan Qingshan.
Luan Qingshan said: "My opinion is, either don't do it, or do it the next best thing and let everyone in Jinzhou know about us!"
Ma Tang said: "Could it be that the leader of the village wants to rob the area near Jinzhou? Although there are many soldiers there, Jinzhou's Jin soldiers are also close."
Luan Qingshan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "What is the richest place in Jinzhou?"
Ma Tang smiled and said: "Of course it's Jinzhou City. Unfortunately, although there are many rich people in the city, we couldn't escape after robbing them."
Luan Qingshan shook his head. Said: "Wrong, the richest thing is not the city of Jinzhou, but the alum refining service outside the city. The money that was handed over to the court in this alum refining service amounted to five to six million guan a year. The Jin army came Now, they are not engaged in production, so the alum refining service is given to a few employees, who collect tens of thousands of dollars every year. How much money do these employees who run the alum refining service have?"
Several people were shocked when they heard this. Said: "The leader of the village has such a good appetite! The alum refining business is only a few miles away from Jinzhou City, but it's a tiger's mouth!"
Luan Qingshan smiled. He said: "I have found out clearly that the richest member, He Yuan, does not live in Jinzhou City, but there is a village not far from the refining office, called Hejiazhuang. There are fifty or sixty households in that village. Zhuangke, there are two to three thousand acres of land, next to the Fen River, it is a good place."
Several people listened but didn't speak. After a long time, Lu Hui said: "When we first built the village, we will do a big deal like this, okay?"
Luan Qingshan didn't speak, just looked at a few people.
After a while, Luo Cang said: "Zhi Niang, if you want to do something big, you must do it big! The leader of the village is right. After this deal is completed, who in Jinzhou doesn't know our name? From now on, If it weren’t for the Jin army to raise an army, who would dare to look at us?"
Lu Hui said: "This business is good, but it's too close to Jinzhou City."
Luo Cang said: "What are you afraid of if you are close? Hejiazhuang is still more than ten miles away from Jinzhou City! As long as we are careful, we go in at dark and leave at dawn, so we won't disturb Jinzhou City. Besides, Jinzhou City People guard the city very carefully. When it gets dark and the city gate is closed, who can enter or leave the city?"
After hearing what Luo Cang said was reliable, several people became interested and huddled together to discuss what to do.
Luan Qingshan didn't speak, just looked at a few people quietly.
In such a big battle, what's the point of trying to steal from other members of the team? If you do it, then do it big, and rob whoever has the money. It was better to be next to Jinzhou. This business was done, and from then on Jin Jun did not dare to underestimate himself. At that time, as long as he didn't go to Jinzhou City, who could do anything to him?
As for risks, I won’t consider them when coming to Jinju. What you are doing is a capital-free business, how can you still be as safe as buying food at the wet market? These people are all accustomed to being lawless. As long as He Yuanwai's family is strong, they cannot be stopped.
