Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 395 Different Pursuits

"Your, twelve."

"Your twelve."

"Your five taels, your five taels..."

"100 taels for security, [-] taels for fighting..."

Wu Li kept silent with a gloomy face, while his four followers chose to bow their heads in front of the magistrate of Jinan Prefecture with an indignant and helpless look.

A fine of 140 guan, that is, 140 taels of silver and 14 taels of gold.

Among them, twelve taels will be given to that little boy - the newsboy, and one thousand will be paid for each. This is the rule set by Lu Qian at the beginning.At the end of last year's winter, I didn't know how many people were cheated.It's also fortunate that the slap didn't hit the little newsboy, otherwise, one of Wu Li's followers would definitely be thrown into prison.

It was the compensation fee for the two patrolmen, each of whom was only five guan/five taels, but it was enough for the two of them to smile.There is also that little newsboy, ten taels of silver is an astronomical figure, if he is only serving in daily life, he does not know whether he can save such a large amount of silver before he is 16 years old - the boy scouts graduate.

The other twelve were for the Jinan Prefecture Newspaper Office.The president looked at the money in the little newsboy's hand, and only sighed why Wu Li and the others didn't take more newspapers, so that the compensation would be more.The angry Wu Li was about to lose her temper.Take a few more newspapers, who will read them?Besides Wu Li herself, who among them can read?
The security fee is [-] guan, and the penalty for fighting in public is [-] guan.This is the big head.The most important thing is that the impact of this incident is so bad that it can shake the entire city of Jinan.If according to the laws and regulations, Wu Li's four followers, and even Wu Li himself, would be imprisoned. Who called Wu Li and didn't stop him at the beginning?
Isn't it because of their special status?After Lu Qian heard about this, he specially asked someone to send a decree, and he pardoned the guilt.But the crime is forgiven, but the fine cannot be forgiven.It was for the sake of Lu Qian's will, otherwise the public security punishment would be more than [-] guan.

Wu Li naturally felt disgraced.It's not a lot of money, but it feels bad.He is an envoy sent by Tian Hu, representing not only Uncle Wu, but also the entire Jin army.Such a loss of face.

After coming out of the court, Wu Li went straight back to the post house.What a disappointment, isn't it?Then he heard a word in the posthouse.

Wu Li's first reaction was: "Idiot, could it be that he has lost his mind and is doing delusional activities, which is ridiculous." But he still called the servant, "Your family's newspaper today, quickly bring it to me." There will be no shortage of "News" in China.

After a while, a newspaper smelling of ink arrived in Wu Li's hand.

It's absolute high tech.No matter how hard Wu Li thought about it, he couldn't figure out how Liang Shanjun printed so many clear newspapers.And this "News" is available every day, and the price is so cheap.

That was divine.

Even Fujian books, which are known for their low prices, can't achieve such a situation, right?Moreover, most of the books printed in Fujian are soft (soft wooden boards), with different shades of ink, whichever is easier to complete and sold quickly.The poor quality is known to the world.

The handwriting of the newspaper in front of me is clear, although there are many simplified characters in it, but it can definitely be regarded as high quality, almost comparable to the engraved edition of Hangzhou Bookstore.

What he didn't know was that Lu Qian used movable type printing, and the movable type used was made of lead and tin. The whole process was supervised by Jin Dajian, a jade arm craftsman, and Xiao Rang, a sage calligraphy student.These two also joined the Liangshan Army from then on.It's just that it has never been obvious.But ink is one of the few 'inventions' that Lu Qian can remember.

Denghei, sesame oil, manual stirring.

In addition to flax oil, he remembers that there are tung oil, soybean oil, and castor oil. Wax can also be added to it, which is said to improve the water resistance and printing performance of the ink, and even resins, such as rosin, can be added.

In this way, together with the typesetting workers, the basis for publishing the "News" was completed.But such technology is absolutely incredible to outsiders.Of course, what Wu Li finds even more incredible now is that Lu Qian actually lowered the price of salt to this low! !
After a while, Wu Li recovered from the shock of the text, "Is this Lu Qian really going to be a living Bodhisattva?" The price of salt is ten coppers a catty, Wu Li has lived half his life, and he is no stranger to salt, and Weisheng Prefecture is not far from Jiezhou , but this is the first time I have seen such a price.I've never seen someone like Lu Qian. The price of official salt is lower than that of private salt.

"Let's not talk about the officials. The men and women in Shandong are very lucky to have cultivated in the previous life." Wu Li's followers couldn't help being envious.Although they were still feeling angry just now.

But everyone has a heart.

Look at the people here, there are fewer exorbitant taxes and labor, and the king of Qi directly exempts grain, grants public land, and limits private land rent taxes.Although there are quite a few rules here, for example, you have to divide left and right when walking and walking, you can't defecate and pee anywhere conveniently, and there are things that make them look ugly in the morning, but if you can have a stable life, how many people are willing to go? What about licking blood?
After lunch, Wu Li finally walked out of the post house, so the five of them rode to the south gate of Jinan, and before Wu Li stepped forward to show his token, the officer of the Liangshan Army suddenly shouted anxiously, " Spread out, spread out." He heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the city gate, and in the blink of an eye, a group of cavalry galloped into the city.There is a small red flag on everyone's back, so that people can tell what they are doing at a glance.

In this kind of emergency military situation, if someone is killed, there is no compensation at all.If you can't be hit to death, you will be punished for the crime of obstructing the military situation.

"There's another batch, isn't today the third batch?"

"It's the second batch. The first batch didn't have the red flag. I don't know what happened."

"Don't make noise, we ordinary people shouldn't know about military affairs!"

"You black-hearted birdie are so heartless. Haven't you heard that the king said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. I am waiting for the happy days now, but I can rely on the soldiers and horses under the king to stop me. If there is an emergency,... "

"Ah bah! Zhu San, you fool, dare to commit such an offense, call me so bluntly, you don't know how high or low! If you can't speak, just shut up and be dumb. Thanks to the king, my family can breathe a sigh of relief. If your king can live a hundred years, the Liangshan army will be invincible. Don't invite bad luck."

The people around heard the sound and got up in unison.

Wu Li heard it in her ears, and sighed in her heart that Lu Qian's 'benevolence and righteousness' had achieved greatness.Thinking about the appearance of his family in Weisheng Prefecture, he felt very uncomfortable.

A group of five people held tokens and left the north city gate, and Wu Li led the horse forward.The destination was Jishui Wharf, more than ten miles north of Jinan.Jinan Jinan, isn't it the south of Jishui!Lu Qian only noticed this when he changed the name of Dongping Mansion.

Five people riding horses, that's fast.Only two quarters of an hour later, the Qibu Bridge was faintly visible.The so-called seven steps are actually seven miles.Before reaching the bridgehead, the banner of the Liangshan Army was seen erected from a long distance.

This is the closest route between the wharf and Jinan city, guarded by our own soldiers.But there is no hindrance to the businessmen and people coming and going, and the flow of people, horses and vehicles is unimpeded.There are Liangshan troops on the north and south of the bridge, there may be hundreds of people, and there is a camp at the north end of the bridge.

Wu Li didn't take it seriously, and set up a military post in such an important place. He only looked at the Liangshan Army here, and they seemed to be no worse than the sentry sergeants in the city.But how is this possible, "Unless Liangshan Army is so capable!" Wu Li didn't believe it.

If the entire Liangshan Army were so strong, the gap between Jin and Qi would be too great.They are all rebelling. It makes no sense, right?

Thinking like this, Wu Li was touched by her attendant, "Look at that, officials!"

Wu Li turned her head and looked in the direction of her fingers, and saw two soldiers of the Liangshan Army who were not wearing armor, picking at a booth at the north end of the bridge.If you look closely, it is a pile of melons.The stall owner was an old farmer, and he smiled happily as he looked at the soldiers of the Liangshan Army in front of him.

"The old man can laugh so happily..." Wu Li's eyes widened.

The group of five people seemed to be in a daze, watching the two Liangshan soldiers picking melons, watching them kindly give the old farmer a pinch of copper coins.

"Officer, this Liangshan Army..., so, so..." Wu Li couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while, and felt like eating a fly in his heart, "no fun, no fun It's so boring." Today they saw too many scenes of "Liangshan's army winning the hearts of the people", and there is a saying that things must be reversed when they are extreme.

"Damn it. This is a flag-raising rebellion. What grandpa wants is happiness. The sky doesn't care about me, the earth doesn't care about me, all kinds of freedom, all kinds of freedom. The little ones drink with the king's big bowl and eat meat with big pieces, and don't eat indiscriminately. Dirty officials are annoyed, and they are not stalked by pickle lawsuits. This is beneficial. Such activities..."

A person behind Wu Li said so.That has been talking about the hearts of five people.

Isn't that so?
I abide by all kinds of rules and rules, and I am more like an officer than an officer. Why should I follow you to do this decapitation business?

Wu Li was still thinking about the strength of the Liangshan Army, but now that she saw the well-behaved Liangshan Army, she suddenly felt bored.

"That's all. We're all going back." The so-called peeking at the leopard from the small to the big.Wu Li felt that she didn't need to go to the pier anymore.His impression of the Liangshan Army is almost fixed, as long as he thinks about it, he will see a false 'monster' with strict military discipline in his mind.

"This Lu Dawang really wants to be a Buddha of ten thousand families, so let him go." Like this, Tian Hujun will never be able to learn. "Living in this way is like white water, so tasteless." Wu Li shook her head repeatedly thinking of the beautiful girl and gold and silver treasures in her room.

Liang Shanjun and Tian Hujun are not the same people.

At this moment, the Western Army of the Northern Expedition has crossed the Yellow River, along the Fenshui River, and marched northward from Jiangzhou.The intention is to take Jinzhou first, and then overcome Fenzhou to ensure that Taiyuan Mansion is unimpeded (then north of Fenzhou is Taiyuan).To the east of Fenzhou is Weisheng Prefecture. At that time, the army smashed down and wiped out the thieves in one fell swoop.

This is the kind of teacher's way that led the Western Army to the north.

The veteran general who was nearly [-] years old used his troops calmly. As soon as the forward of the army arrived in Xiangling, Jinzhou, the forward reported a good news. Although he was pleasantly surprised, he was even more puzzled about why the fight was so fast.After learning the details, he smiled from ear to ear.

It was the vanguard leader Zhang Da who led his army to the Xiangling city, when the Tianhu army in the city opened the city gate and came to fight.Then the result is naturally no surprise.

Speaking of which, Tian Hu's army is no less than [-], which is not inferior to Zhang Da's army.But how can rotten copper compare to real gold?
Tian Biao was Tian Hu's third younger brother, and he worked especially hard in fighting.During the fight, he personally led a group of brave bandits to rush towards Zhang Da's army, and wanted to rely on his own bravery to slash and kill the general of the official army, so as to turn defeat into victory.

Zhang Da only waved the battle flag, and ordered archers, card sword players, and pikemen to come forward to fight.Tian Biao rushed to the front of the battle, raining arrows and forests of knives and spears. Several conflicts failed, but many people were killed or injured.At that time, there were repeated shouts from behind the small hill, and a group of infantry rushed out, the leader was Zhang Da's son Zhang Zhongfu, sweeping with a big knife in his hand, and the two sides were full of elite soldiers in heavy armor, holding spears and big guns , dropped the knife and stick, rolled straight in, and immediately cut Tian Biao's rear team in half.After a while, there was another roar of killing from behind, and it was Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan who came in from left and right in two teams.Tian Biao's men and horses immediately panicked, and he himself led a few brave men to break through the encirclement.Later, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan marched into Tian Hu's army.Niu Wenzhong is dividing his troops to resist the Western Army, so if they come again, how can they resist, the whole army will fall apart.Bian Xiang was fighting in the front, but troubles arose in the rear, he didn't dare to fight, so he flattered his horse and left.Lieutenant General Wang Yuan panicked, he was stabbed off his horse by a warrior from the Western Army, and another shot killed him.Qin Ying and Yao Yue also fled, but they bumped into a ferocious warrior with an iron fork in the rebellious army. Before he could parry, the warrior roared. Straight through the back, he fell off the horse and died on the spot.Yao Yue stabbed at him with a spear, but the man grabbed him, pulled him off his horse, and captured him alive.

Relying on a big knife, Tian Biao broke through the siege and joined Niu Wenzhong, Bian Xiang and others. He dared not go back to the city, and went to Linfen, the prefecture of Jinzhou.

The Western Army attacked Tianhu and won the victory.

In the city of Jiangzhou, Tan Zhen, the military supervisor, was pleasantly surprised when he received the news.In this battle, more than [-] bandit soldiers were beheaded, and more than [-] were captured alive.On the one hand, he announced the good news to Luoyang City, and on the other hand, he wanted to be a master and executed all the captured soldiers. Then Yao Yueyu sent him to Jiangzhou, and he also sent him to Luoyang to claim credit.

There was not even the slightest thought of surrendering in his mind.

"Don't worry about the system. There is probably only one place in the world where there are strong bandits like Liangshanbo. The ordinary grass bandits always come without any rules and make a lot of noise. They will be defeated in one battle. The young generals know the bottom, the old-fashioned strategy The army's attack on Tian Ni is bound to be like a broken bamboo, and I'm afraid there will be news of victory in the near future."

Liu Qi carefully served Tan Zhen. After his father was defeated in the last battle, Zhao Ji demoted him to Jinghu South Road to perform meritorious service. Liu Qi wanted to follow him, but was dissuaded by Liu Zhongwu and did not join Tongguan. Instead, he returned to the Western Army and is now serving under the old command.This was met with a battalion of personal soldiers who were promised by Zhong Shidao to guard Tan Zhen in Jiangzhou.

Tan Zhen knew that Liu Qi was trying to say good things to him, but what could he do?If Lao Zhong can really spread good news frequently, why should I spare my pen and ink and not express my merits for him?

The days to come are still long.The Jiangshan Sheji of the Song Dynasty still relied on the Western Army to support it.Zhong Shidao is the leader of the Western Army, and I have established a good relationship with him this time, and in the future, I will follow the Western Army to fight everywhere, so I can't be proud of being around?
Tan Zhen thinks long-term.
