Half a month later, when Song Jiang was anxiously waiting for news from Huainan, Jiang Jingque, who had been away from the mountain for many days to establish Changsheng Trading Company and open up financial avenues for Liangshan, brought back an amazing good news.
"Brother Duxing, do you really mean what you said??"
In the confidential room, I saw Liangshan's senior officials gathered together. Wu Yong, the first person under the chief position, looked at the rough face and said with some excitement.
"Brother, how can I dare to speak nonsense? Since the establishment of the trading company, Brother Jiang Jing took a few of us to Bianjing to inquire about the news. Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered the city, we unexpectedly met Cai Sui, the son of Grand Master Cai Jing. With deliberate flattery and the help of all kinds of rare treasures, Cai Sui actually promised his brother an official position, and he could choose from any prefecture!"
"My elder brother said that Yingtian and other important government officials were in charge, but the younger members of the family were incapable of taking on the responsibility, so he blamed Cheng Wanli, the governor of Dongping Prefecture, for his inability to govern the territory, which led to the proliferation of bandits in the territory. Unexpectedly, Cheng Wanli was evacuated in just three days. Then Cai Sui directly gave his brother a letter of appointment stamped with the official seals of the three provinces. When the time comes to choose a good person, all he needs to do is inform him!!"
At this time, Song Jiang, who was in charge, looked at the letter of appointment that was already in his hand and couldn't help but praise excitedly: "Brother Jiang Jing, a great talent, a great talent!"
"Dongping Mansion is adjacent to our Liangshan Mountain. Although it is not as good as Yingtian. The big names and other important mansions are densely populated and rich in taxes, but they can also raise over 10,000 troops for our Liangshan Mountain. This also means that our Liangshan Mountain has conquered eight hundred miles of water. , Brother, Brother Jiang Jing, you should be rewarded greatly!!" Gongsun Sheng said with a fist in his arms. In fact, with Liangshan's current strength, it is not a problem to capture some state capitals, but if we attack with force, we will definitely be attacked by the imperial court day and night, so Although Liangshan is famous, it has no foundation except for the eight hundred miles of water. If it can control Dongping Mansion at this time, it means that Liangshan can have its own military resources and land openly. This is the foundation of its great cause.
When Song Jiang heard this, he nodded heavily and said, "That's for sure."
"Brother Duxing, brother Jiang Jing, do you have any other requests?"
"Brother, there's nothing else but the goods I brought have been severely consumed. During this period, I've been busy trying to fawn over Mr. Cai. The company hasn't prepared enough, so I want to ask the village to support me!!"
When Song Jiang heard this, he immediately said: "It's not a partial support, but a full support. Now the Grand Master Cai Jing controls the center and has greater power than Gao Qiu. This is a big tree. It is what I need most in Liangshan. With it He can not only divert the direction of the imperial court, but he can also control Jingdong’s officialdom at any time. We must be clear that there is still a huge gap between the strength of Liangshan and the imperial court."
"Brother is wise!"
"military adviser"
"exist"
"From today on, a warehouse will be set up specifically for Brother Jiang Jing. A batch of money and goods will be sent there every two months. Don't regret any rare treasures. As long as I, Liangshan, can use this to grow, we will come back sooner or later."
"yes"
"In addition, the Liangshan Bianjing branch was formally established, with Jiang Jing as the president and Du Xing as the deputy commander. Matters can be decided on the fly. At the same time, Cong Chongwenfang selected a group of loyal and capable brothers to obey orders!!"
"yes"
"This matter is of great importance. Except for those present today, it will never be allowed to leak out."
"yes"
"Liang Qiao"
"exist"
"You need to set up a separate intelligence line with Brother Jiang Jing, and you will be personally responsible for it. First, you can use this to see if you can open up a situation in Bianjing. Second, you must do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of Brother Jiang Jing and the safety of the Cai family. status."
"yes"
"This is a big fat piece of meat, a pie falling from the sky. We must grasp it, grasp it tightly," Song Jiang said seriously.
"What my brother said is true. If we can get it smoothly, we can vigorously develop Dongping Mansion, attract people from all over the world, and lay the foundation for Liangshan to officially send troops in the future. Therefore, the most important thing is to choose the governor. His ability can be average. Dongping Mansion Liangshan is adjacent to me. We can make suggestions at any time, but our family background must be clean and not arouse suspicion." Zhu Wu immediately stood up and said.
Song Jiang nodded and said seriously: "Who do you think is suitable?"
"Actually, Brother Liang Qiao is the most suitable. They are famous and have no reputation in the world," Xiao Rang said.
When Song Jiang heard this, he shook his head and said, "Liang Qiao can't do it. The intelligence room is now on the right track and he can't be separated from it. Moreover, he is also responsible for the affairs of the Hongwen room. In addition, I think in order to ensure confidentiality, it is best not to use the intelligence room in the village." Brother, it’s easy to be exposed like this.”
"What my brother said is true. There are many brothers in the village, so it is inevitable that they will know each other. Dongping Mansion is close to me, Liangshan. This matter is of great importance. The brothers below do not know about it. If they accidentally discover it, all the plans will be destroyed. Now the most important thing for me in Liangshan is to keep a low profile, wait for the opportunity, and not attract the attention of the court. The people who arrange it must still be enemies of me in Liangshan on the outside, so that we can develop stably in secret," Pei Xuan agreed.
"But if you are not from Liangshan, loyalty is a big problem. If you betray him secretly, you will not only lose such a good opportunity, but also harm brother Jiang Jing," Xiao Rang said worriedly.
"Brother, I do have someone available here." Just as everyone frowned, Gongsun Sheng stood up and said.
"Brother, tell me quickly," Song Jiang said immediately.
"Xu Wenfeng!!"
Song Jiang was stunned, "Are you talking about Youzhu's cousin?"
"Yes, I talked to him a few days ago. He is familiar with Liangshan Chronicles and highly respects his brother. He also hates and is disappointed with the corruption of the Song Dynasty and its external cowardice. I have taken a closer look at his face and it is definitely... He is a loyal person, and what he cares most about is the fourth lady, because only the fourth lady respects him as a real brother. The fourth lady is already my mistress of Liangshan, and he will never betray her," Gongsun Sheng said with a smile.
"This is a good candidate. Mr. Xu is a foreigner. Because his parents are dead, he lives in the Xu family. He has a quiet personality and a low reputation. His name is not even on the wanted list behind the state capital. If you find a few people to help you, you will be able to sit safely," Wu Yong agreed.
Song Jiang thought for a while, looked at Gongsun Sheng and said, "What do you think of his ability?"
"Brother, didn't you just say that? Ability is not important, the key is calmness and loyalty. I think he is the most suitable at the moment!!"
After Song Jiang stood up and thought about it, he said, "I'll discuss this matter with Youzhu."
"Brother, this matter needs to be done quickly, otherwise things will change later. Only when someone is appointed can things be stable. Countless crops can be cultivated in one house, talents can be recruited openly, and Changsheng Commercial Bank can be greatly expanded. Although there is a lot of military rations, they will eventually be used up. Only land and population are the endless wealth," Gongsun Sheng reminded, obviously paying more attention to the millions of military rations.
Song Jiang nodded, "I understand."
"One more thing, brother, please note that it is best to keep this matter a secret from everyone else in the Xu family except the Fourth Miss," Gongsun Sheng said cautiously.
"Don't worry" Song Jiang responded with a solemn expression.
