Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 86
"To tell you the truth, the villain's surname is Zhou, and his double name is Daming. Because of my tall birth, my brothers told me to hold on. We are the subordinates of Lu Qian, the leader of Liangshanpo, Jeju. This time I came to Heluo I’m visiting my leader’s brother, the former gun and stick instructor of the 80 Imperial Army in Tokyo, the leopard-headed instructor Lin Chonglin.”

"At the beginning, the leader of my family killed Gao Kan, and he fled to the rivers and lakes. After a long time..."

Zhou Daming was familiar with Lu Qian's deeds, and he felt very honored when he said it, because his face was also radiant because he followed such a loyal and heroic man.Zhou Daming didn't think that if he understood the origin, he would suffer crimes.Didn't this Hua monk also beat someone to death to escape Buddhism?Nor is it a law-abiding citizen.

Lu Zhishen put down his hand holding the wine bowl, "Oh my God, it's so ingenious." His best friend in Jingdong is Lin Chong. See you soon.But he didn't want to be rescued by his subordinates today.

Zhou Daming was also dumbfounded, he didn't want the great monk in front of him to have such a relationship with his own leader, since good people are rewarded with good things.Today I really saved the right person.But when we heard about the reason for Lu Tiha to go to Heluo, it was because Coach Lin committed a lawsuit.

Zhou Daming is honest, but this honesty does not mean that he is a lump of wood.It only took a while to think, "Could it be that Gao Qiu did something crazy?"

"It's not that guy is vicious. He sent someone to do a routine, and he framed my brother for a crime of robbery and murder, and he was put in prison." Lu Zhishen got the letter from old coach Zhang, and hurried to Heluo. This happened to me on land.

Lu Zhishen had a vicious look on his face, as if a circle of flames were burning all over his body, as if he wanted to ignite the surrounding air.

Zhou Daming didn't say much, he quickly greeted his minions and sailed quickly to Luoyang.During this period, he and Lu Zhishen talked about what Lu Qian had done when he went to Liangshan, and how he conferred the title of Huang An, Jiang Lei, He Tao and others, and how the heroes of Liangshan had "executed justice for heaven and eradicated violence and brought peace to good people". He told Lu Zhishen one by one to listen He shouted happily and let out a long breath.

It's a pity that I didn't meet those two boatmen on the road, otherwise I would have avenged myself.

The bow of the boat docked at Mengjin Wharf, and Lu Zhishen took the whistle stick prepared on the boat, and led Zhou Daming and others to Zhang Laojiaotou's house.There was an address in the previous letter.

It is already late autumn, the golden leaves are falling down on the post road, and in the sunlight, a few pieces are flying with the wind.The wheat fields on both sides of the road have been sown, but the wheat seedlings are slightly protruding.The endless vast fields as far as the eye can see are all owned by the rich and powerful families in the city.

Approaching Luoyang, the capital of Xijing, the post roads became wider and denser, and there was a constant flow of vehicles and horses.Although it is a bit less than Tokyo, it is not as prosperous as Qilu's prefectures and counties.

A group of people were walking on the road, when a horse bell rang behind them, hundreds of horse hooves were clamped, and the tide seemed to be rushing in.Lu Zhishen and others hurriedly stepped aside and saw a cloud of yellow dust rising up on the road. It leaped several feet high, and twenty or thirty people on horseback grabbed it.Several of the young men wore purple gold crowns with hair tied on their heads, tight crimson embroidered brocade robes, and gold pockets around their waists.He laughed heartily and regarded the passers-by who were hiding in embarrassment from left to right as amusing things.

Lu Zhishen watched them go.Zhou Daming scolded from behind: "This bunch of birds are still showing off their power at the foot of Xijing, how amazing! They just rushed straight at me covered in dust."

Lu Zhishen smiled coldly, "Xijing is an important place for the court, and many famous ministers and noble families have lived here. There are many wealthy young men here."

"People are no better than Tokyo. It is under the feet of the emperor. The rules are strict, but they are more liberal."

As a superintendent of the Western Army, although he was only a mid-level and lower-level officer, Lu Zhishen's knowledge was much better than that of Zhou Daming.

By the time the group arrived at Coach Zhang's house, it was already afternoon.

When the old coach saw Lu Zhishen and his party, his eyes were full of tears, and he was full of gratitude.Ever since he followed his son-in-law to Luoyang for the elderly, he has always been worried, lest something bad happen.Fortunately, the story of Gao Kan's murder was too publicized, and the old thief Gao Qiu temporarily released his son-in-law due to public opinion.Unexpectedly, only a few months later, Lin Chong was framed.

Mrs. Zhang is already two months pregnant, which is a great joy.Lin Chong has been a single generation since his father's generation. Now Lin Chong is over [-] years old. Finally, the wife he was looking forward to is pregnant. The family is having a lot of joy, but they are doused with a basin of ice water.

"The Lin family is also a big family in Luoyang. After my son-in-law was framed, each branch collected some money, bought it, sued the superiors, and managed the yamen. The Prime Minister of Fu Yin also knew the whole story, and he really wronged his son-in-law, so he made some arrangements to hide it. The crime of stolen goods is worth twenty, and he is assigned to Cangzhou. Since the old thief Gao Qiu is obstructing this matter, the old man does not ask for his son-in-law to be exempted from the lawsuit. This result is already a blessing. I only ask Tiha to escort him all the way, and stop calling. The public servant earned his life on the road."

The old coach is a discerning person, and he knows that his son-in-law's fate is not only happening now, but also on the way to his marriage.

How many heroes' lives were ruined in the hands of those black-hearted gentlemen. No matter how strong my son-in-law is in martial arts, it is difficult to escape without precautions.Besides, there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, how can there be those who can guard against thieves for a thousand days?

"Tiju is highly skilled in martial arts, escorting Instructor Lin along the way, and he can keep himself safe. But the villain doesn't know what to say or not to say."

Zhou Daming stayed silent for a long time, and now he finally spoke.

"It's okay to say it's a good man." Now that things have happened, Coach Zhang is extremely grateful to Lu Qian, but he doesn't think Zhou Daming is humble.

"That's what the old instructor said, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. Even if instructor Lin arrived at the prison camp of Cangzhou Mansion safely, as long as the old thief Gao Qiu is still sitting on the official chair of the Taiwei of the Palace Commander's Mansion, Isn’t it easy to kill Coach Lin?”

"What's more, the fetus in Mrs. Lin's womb is the flesh and blood of the teacher, so how can it not be hated by Gao Qiu?"

Zhou Daming's eyes are shining brightly, "Old teacher, since the world is turbid and there is no way for people to survive, why don't you go to Shandong with Mrs. Lin, who is a small boy, and go to Shandong after staying in Tokyo, and then rescue Teacher Lin on the way , go to Liangshan together, and the whole family will be reunited?"

Instructor Zhang was speechless for a moment, his complexion fluctuating; Lu Zhishen touched his shiny scalp, thinking it was a good idea.

"I have admired Lu Yuhou's name for a long time, and I wish I could see him. If something like this happens, the Sa family will definitely visit Liangshan."

Zhou Daming laughed foolishly, "The leader of my family likes Han the most. It would be great if Tiju is willing to go up the mountain." Zhou Daming's words were a little presumptuous, but Lu Zhishen didn't care about it. Obviously, going up the mountain has a lot to do.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.Besides, Lu Qian, who was still staying in Liangshan at this moment, would never have thought that Zhou Daming, whom he sent, would have such luck.At this moment, he just taught Chao Gai a batch of snowflake salt in exchange for 5000 taels of snowflake silver.

The price of 4000 yuan per pound of snowflake salt was enough for Liangshan to make more than [-]% of the profit.Such a load of salt weighs a hundred catties, which is the profit of more than four pennies; a batch of goods is full of thousands of stones, and in less than a month, to be precise, it only took [-] days before and after, and more than [-] pennies of pure profit fell into the hands.Add to this the money and food that the surrounding villages need to bring in every month, and the 'filial piety' that merchants must show when traveling by land and water, and the amount of money alone is enough to reach tens of thousands!
Yes, tens of thousands of dollars.In addition to the private salt business, the little profit made on the waterway is not inferior to the profit of boiling salt, which is enough to be equivalent to the profit earned by hundreds of people in the village for twenty days.

Originally, the Liangshan cottage to which Wang Lun belonged was not capable of provoking money from waterways.Liangshan's money and food needs are more obtained on land.But now under the leadership of Lu Qian, Liangshan has shattered thousands of officials and Ding Zhengzheng. Then he will turn around and get a hand on the waterway, whether it is Chao Gai, Song Jiang and other tycoons, or wealthy businessmen who travel by waterway, All be silent and pay the fee obediently.

Moreover, the share of the toll money collected by Lu Qian's card is not high, just two out of a hundred. This amount is equivalent to the business circulation tax rate (over-tax) of the old Zhao family, which is just a small sum for a businessman.

The Liangshanbo toll station is quite clean, at least much more clean than the tax officials and tax collectors in the old Zhao family, and the taxes and fees can be both goods and money, which is very flexible.How long has it been, and the income is no less than that of boiling salt.Facts prove that Lu Qian's thinking about the current Song Dynasty is too simple.Sitting on the treasure land of Liangshan, as long as you can get a foot in the waterway, how can the wealth be compared with boiling salt and sugar?
In terms of time, only 25 days had passed since Lu Qian defeated Jiang Lei.

Among the group of captives back then, there was the stubborn one, and hundreds of other prisoners, who were all cutting and carrying firewood on the mountain these days.A large amount of wood is stored, but there are far fewer people who actually handle the cooking of salt.This matter was placed in the back of the mountain by Lu Qian, but those who knew the cause and effect were not allowed to move around at will, and the supervision can be said to be the strictest in Liangshan.

However, the speed of cutting firewood on the mountain has suddenly increased by an unknown amount, and Lu Qian has already sent people to buy coal.

The charcoal of the people of the Song Dynasty is coal, and the city of Tokyo began to burn charcoal long ago. The problem of insufficient firewood in North China in the middle and late Tang Dynasty forced large cities to use charcoal instead of firewood. There are as many as [-] to [-] coal factories in Tokyo. Most of them come from the east of the river.

The price of coal used in Liangshan will not be as high as that in Tokyo.In winter in that place, a scale of stone carbon is worth [-] qian in iron coins, and ten iron coins are used as a copper coin.The price is so high that it hurts people.

And Liangshan, which is conveniently transported by water, is much cheaper to buy coal.Not to mention that a scale of stone carbon costs 250 yuan, even a load of coal is not so high.

China has no shortage of coal fields, and every government has them.

In the end, in terms of money and food, it is the land part that ends up at the bottom.However, this is also related to the fact that the Liangshan minions have not fully spread the scene.

"Brother." Zhu Gui ran towards Lu Qian with vigorous steps. Before he arrived, the voice came first.

"But it's all done?"

"Everything is ready. That scholar Xiao is worthy of the name of the Holy Hand. With my little brother's eyesight, I can't even spot the fake ones. Jin Dajian is also a skilled craftsman, and the seal he crafted is accurate."

After saying that, he handed over the letter. Lu Qian opened the letter and read it. Comparing the two, it was absolutely true.If I didn't know it was fake, I would have thought it was an official document from the Jeju government.There are really ghosts in this world!
"Okay, such a big event can be accomplished. Brother, please treat those two well. As long as this matter is completed, I will let them go down the mountain. I will never break my promise." Lu Qian looked at the letter in his hand and was very happy.Because he wants to earn money to go up the mountain alone, although this method of deception is not straightforward, it is much better than the encounter in the original novel of the Water Margin.
