The next day, after breakfast, Xu Youzhu was personally invited by Hua Rong to outside a pavilion in the mountains. Looking at Song Jiang who was reading inside, Xu Youzhu stepped forward and saluted: "Meet the leader of Song Village!!"
When Song Jiang looked up, his expression suddenly changed. He saw that Xu Youzhu, who had been carefully dressed today, was particularly beautiful and charming, especially with her long hair falling down, and the gentleness and elegance exuding from her whole body made her... Some people can't take their eyes away.
"Miss, there's no need to be polite. Please sit down," Song Jiang stood up and greeted.
"Thank you, village master"
After seeing Xu Youzhu sitting down, Song Jiang said: "Everyone in the Xu family will be properly settled in Liangshan. Your brother Xu Wenyan and I also sent people to Bianjing to inquire. There is no one around at the moment, and you don't need to be restrained. I wonder if you can tell me about the millions of grain and grass." Something??”
When Xu Youzhu heard this, he suddenly laughed and said, "If I say it's a lie, will my brother kill me directly?"
"No, but the Xu family will be driven out of Liangshan and left to fend for themselves," Song Jiang said directly.
Xu Youzhu's face sank, "Everyone said that the leader of the village is Jiji Yu, a man of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. Unexpectedly, he is also a profit-seeking person!!"
"Everyone in the world is here for profit, and everyone in the world is here for gain. What Song Jiang cares about now is not the reputation of Xu, but the safety and future of the brothers in the village," Song Jiang said calmly.
"Aren't you afraid of dissatisfying Zhu Wu and other brothers in the mountains?" Xu Youzhu asked doubtfully.
"There will be many people who are dissatisfied and will even drive me Song Jiang out of office, but again, once I become the master of the cottage, I will never let my brothers sacrifice themselves for the so-called reputation. I, Liangshan, don't have such a right now It is the duty of the imperial court to rescue people in distress, not my responsibility. If I, Liangshan, cannot finally clear up my name and truly fight my way out of these eight hundred miles of water, then even if I have done ten thousand good deeds, I will eventually die. Those who are shunned by the imperial court will eventually be cast aside by the history books, so Miss, don’t talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality with me. If you are successful, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can be alone. You should understand this truth, right?"
Xu Youzhu was a little surprised when he heard this, "So my brother has made up his mind to betray the imperial court??"
"Yes," Song Jiang said directly again, then said seriously: "So I need millions of military rations from the young lady to accumulate troops."
"Is one million military rations enough? The Song Dynasty has been a country for hundreds of years. How can it be overthrown so easily?"
"If the leader is incompetent, the country will be ruined and the family will be destroyed. The young lady thinks too highly of the imperial court. The traitorous officials in the imperial court are in power, and they value civility over military affairs. All generals use the command of the army. The generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals. Although such an army ensures loyalty , indeed cannot withstand any failure, because once it fails, the soldiers will have no loyalty to the general, and the general will have no sympathy for the soldiers. The stability of the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years depends not on the army, but on benevolence, so the economy of the Song Dynasty is developed. The culture is at its peak, but all this has been completely changed because of your Majesty. Bandits are rampant from all directions, and the people are afraid of officials. This is the reason why Liangshan can exist. Otherwise, the young lady thinks that Liangshan can win repeatedly. It is really because it is Songjiang. , or are they the brothers down there??"
Xu Youzhu's expression changed, and after being silent for a while, he said: "So the leader of the village admires the system of the former Tang Dynasty!!"
"good"
"Don't you know that the leader of the village knows that if the generals have too many troops, the world will be more chaotic!!"
"But at least it's brilliant." Song Jiang laughed, shook his head and said, "These are too far-reaching. I, Song Jiang, am not qualified to discuss the state of the country. Maybe I will die in battle tomorrow."
"You don't know how," Xu Youzhu said immediately, then suddenly felt a little inappropriate and lowered his head shyly.
Song Jiang took a look and said with a smile: "Miss, can you talk about it now!!"
"Okay, but you have to agree to one request of mine." A trace of determination suddenly flashed in Xu Youzhu's eyes.
"Please say"
"As you said, your Majesty is fatuous now, and the traitors in the court are in power. It is probably impossible for my Xu family to get the favor of the court. Moreover, the Xu family has now settled in Liangshan and cannot escape, so these millions of stones of grain and grass are my dowry." Xu Youzhu said resolutely road.
Song Jiang was stunned for a moment, raised the corner of his mouth, and suddenly grabbed Xu Youzhu's little hand. Looking at the panic expression, he said seriously: "I will marry you!!"
After Xu Youzhu was stunned for a moment, he quickly took out his palm, lowered his head and said with a red face: "In two months, those millions of stones of military rations will gather in Jiangning, pass Yangzhou, and enter Yingtian from Huainan, guarded by three thousand elite soldiers. , the leader of the army is Zhang Shuye, the transshipment envoy."
"Zhang Shuye" Song Jiang's eyes moved, that was not the general who completely destroyed Liangshan in the legend of the gangsters.
"How do you know this kind of thing??"
"I have liked to make friends with heroes in the world since I was a child. This matter was informed by one of them after drinking. He is a small leader of a group of bandits in Huainan. It is said that they are already uniting with others and preparing to rob them all."
"What?" When Song Jiang heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong??" Xu Youzhu was stunned.
"Such a matter is so important. If they unite with others, it will be difficult to ensure the confidentiality of the information. Zhang Shuye has the qualifications of a famous general. Once he knows, he will definitely change his route. This opportunity will be lost," Song Jiang said with a gloomy expression.
Xu Youzhu also reacted immediately, "One million military rations are of great importance, so we have to be cautious. What can I do?"
"Hua Rong" Song Jiang shouted immediately.
"exist"
"Let the two military advisors, Liang Qiao, Pei Xuan, Xiao Rang, Zhu Wu, and Chai Jing, come to the study immediately," Song Jiang said.
"yes!!"
"Youzhu, you go back and rest first. Tomorrow I will ask my father to propose marriage in person," Song Jiang said at this time.
"No!!" After hearing this, Xu Youzhu suddenly stood up and shook his head.
"What's wrong??"
"If I don't get that million in military rations, my little girl will have no face to get married!!" Xu Youzhu blamed herself. At this moment, she felt that she was still too young to even think of such a thing.
Song Jiang was stunned, suddenly laughed, and then approached and said: "Actually, the first time Cong saw you, you couldn't run away. I said I would drive you down the mountain to scare you. The one I, Song Jiang, want to marry is Wife, you are not a rich woman, it is a man’s job to lead troops and fight, so this news about you is already worth a thousand pieces of gold.”
After speaking gently, Song Jiang left.
Xu Youzhu, who was trembling slightly, looked at it and couldn't help but said: "Be careful."
"rest assured"
On the way to the study, Song Jiang said to the side: "Didn't Chai Jing prepare an inner treasury for me?" From today on, all the account books will be handed over to the fourth lady of the Xu family. Fourth Miss reports, there is no need to tell me."
"What about Miss Fan and the others??"
Song Jiang paused, turned his head and said seriously: "Same!!"
"yes!!"
"Send someone to the foot of the mountain to tell Brother Zhu Fu that within two days, no matter what, you must get me a map of Huainan," Song Jiang ordered.
"yes!!"
