Liu Bu said: "We need to say that we should be the king at a slow time. No one dares to do it now, but it is difficult to accumulate grain and build high traffic."

Song Xiance said: "Maintaining grain, your Liu family is richest in the world. As long as you have food and money, you can maintain your current momentum. Young Master, are you still afraid of being in vain?"

Liu Bu said: "What's the matter of sucking the world? As long as I have my soldiers, I have everything. Without soldiers, I have nothing."

This is the law of survival in troubled times.

Liu Bu knew that after the late Ming Dynasty, many aristocratic families were destroyed in the turmoil of the late Ming Dynasty, and those families that had been rich for hundreds of years were eventually destroyed.

At this time, you have force more useful than having money. Liu Bu decided to turn all the money of the Liu family into force. Let’s look at the heroes in the world. Who can seize it?

Song Xiance had no choice but to say, "Young man has great ambitions, which is admirable!"

Liu Bu said: "Whatever ambition is that it is forced to come to this point by others. If you don't change and you don't become stronger, others will replace you, steal everything from you, and make you have nothing. In order to protect my family, I have to rise up."

Song Xiance said: "Many big families are the same. Many young men and men seemed to only know how to eat, drink, and have nothing, but the excellent bloodline of the family makes them raise an army to support the family and make the family stronger once they have difficulties in the family."

Liu Bu said: "Our place also has an advantage, that is, it is located in the Jiaozhou Peninsula, mainly because there are no enemies in the north and behind. If the official army wants to attack us, it can only surround us from the west and the south, and our back will be safe."

Song Xiance said: "Once there is a change, as long as we take down Dengzhou, we don't have to worry about being attacked from all sides and being besieged from all sides. But there is a problem. What if they use the navy to surround us? This is always a problem."

Liu Bu smiled and said, "Don't worry about the problem of the navy." He knew that the Ming Dynasty in this era did not have the ability to carry out large-scale amphibious landing operations, and his relationship with them and the Zheng family, once the fight started, they could use the Zheng family's naval forces to protect the rear. Even if they were unwilling to be pulled into the water by the Liu family, neutrality could still be done.

The Ming Dynasty navy could not even deal with pirates. Could it be that he could still deal with me? This is where Liu Bu is full of confidence.

Song Xiance said: "When you say that the young master seems to be confident?"

Liu Bu said: "If a person has no future intentions, he will have immediate worries!"

This is Liu Bu's sigh from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, they are considered strong people of this era, but they are still deeply trapped in the vortex of this era, influenced by the times, and pushed by the times.

Liu Bu likes Chen Yuanyuan very much (actually he likes it). As long as the other party agrees, he wishes to marry her back as his wife immediately, and then be kind to her for the rest of her life, be kind to her for the rest of her life, and love her for the rest of her life.

The problem is that his father has made a marriage for him and the Zheng family. If he turns against each other, the Zheng family will never support them anymore.

If Liu Bu did this, he would be despised by people all over the world. He would be a little upset to ignore so many people in the family for a woman.

If he succumbed to his father's arrangement and asked him to marry that Rakshasa female ghost, it would be quite miserable. I have been considered a person who has died once, but I still cannot surpass my destiny and will still be controlled by fate. What's the point of living like this?

Liu Bu lived a frustrated life in his previous life, and this life decided that he must avenge his grudges. If he was frustrated everywhere and was controlled by others everywhere, then it would be meaningless to live.

Liu Bu was quite happy when he met Song Xiance. This person had a certain strategic vision and was proficient in strategy. He could serve as his assistant and assist him in handling many things.

Liu Bu asked Song Xianke for advice and said, "Do you have any opinions on what I am doing in Jimo?"

Song Xiance said: "My lord has done a very good job in Jimo. Not only did he make so much money, he also severely attacked his enemy Zhou Wentong. But you must understand that if Zhou Wentong suffered this blow, he will definitely retaliate in the future. The biggest problem is that local people will definitely report to the court. If Zhou Wentong cannot suppress this matter, the imperial soldiers will come to question it soon."

Liu Bu said: "If it is a normal year, it should be like this, but you must understand that even if local officials report to the court, will the court send soldiers for such trivial matters? If small soldiers are sent, we can deal with them at will. If large soldiers come and we avoid fighting, how can they withstand me? This is what the thief of Jufeng did, not what we did. How can he do to me?"

Song Xiance said: "Young Master, although you have done a good job, in the end, such a huge action will still leak news. Do you think the court sent a large army to suppress it, and they will be confused about evidence in everything like a case in the temple? I am afraid that the court will take the opportunity to rush to the rabbit and take the opportunity to rattle the Liu family to supplement military use."

Liu Bu said: "Our Liu family is still abiding by the rules of the Ming Dynasty's game, and there are people in the palace who support it. They don't take it as soon as they say it. In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, there are still rules of the game. Only we don't violate the rules or the rules of the game, they have no choice."

Song Xiance said: "It is better to have a plan in this regard, so as not to be able to deal with it when the imperial army arrives, and we are caught off guard."

Liu Bu said: "We have a plan. We plan to suppress bandits in the nearby area. Through several months of bandit suppression, we will wipe out all the bandits and bandits in the Laoshan area, and then establish our own base. We are backed by the sea and have no worries. We can deal with them with all our strength. The place here is big enough, which is a thousand kilometers in total, which is enough to allow us to deal with the court. The Wuqiao mutiny greatly damaged the imperial court here and destroyed the grassroots rule of the local area. Unless it is destroyed to the Dengzhou front line or the canal line, they will not pay much attention to it. Now the important officials of the court are mediocre and useless people to make money. They only care about making money on their own. Who would take the initiative to send troops to attack us? This is a waste of money and money."

Song Xiance said: "I'm afraid that the Liu family is innocent and is guilty of being guilty. The Liu family is rich and famous all over the world. If they come to destroy the bandits, they will be tragic. Especially the relationship between you and Liu Zeqing is not good."

Liu Bu said: "Okay! We must be ready to fight against Liu Zeqing's official army at any time."

Song Xiance said: "If people do not have a long-term plan, they will have immediate worries. If we make sufficient preparations, we can avoid fighting unsure."

Liu Bu said: "I will leave this matter to you. I will assign a special department to take charge of you. You will be responsible for the formulation of this matter and how to deal with Liu Zeqing."

Song Xiance said: "I am willing to serve the Lord."

When Liu Bu was on track in Fushan, Liu Yuanqiao fell into great difficulties in Linqing.

The Liu family operated the tax customs of Linqing for three generations, which was very well-founded. It can be said that the disciples and old officials were spread all over the world. They usually got along with the people below and could compete with the new boss and the people above. They always controlled one of the richest tax customs in the world.

The original tax customs boss Zhang Zhicheng always took Liu Yuanqiao. There was no way, and he was very angry at the place occupied by Liu Yuanqiao. It can be said that everyone in the Qing Dynasty knew that the deputy chief of the iron-killed officer was the chief of the flowing water.

Although Liu Yuanqiao was a deputy, all the personnel and affairs were in his hands, and he had the final say on who was not allowed. Moreover, the people who closed the Cao Gang always supported him. Listening to his surname Liu, Zhang Zicheng, the position in charge, did not listen much.

But in recent times, the situation has been different. The tax officials were relatively independent and did not live in the local area, but since Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian publicly threatened to be dissatisfied with Liu Yuanqiao and hoped to get more dividends, he has been very dissatisfied with him since he was rejected.

Liu Yuanqiao was able to control the tax customs because he promoted the tax customs subordinates, and the Cao Gang kept selling him for a long time, just listening to him.

Once, a chief officer had fought against Liu Yuanqiao. At Liu Yuanqiao's order, more than 100,000 people from the Cao Gang went on strike, almost shutting down the entire pass, leaving them with no choice but to succumb to Liu Yuanqiao.

But now it is different. The biggest difference is that the governor is not afraid of him. In addition, Shandong General Liu Zeqing, who was ordered by the court to move to Linqing to defend the grain.

Since Liu Zeqing arrived in Linqing, Liu Yuanqiao's life has been difficult.

Because the Cao Gang used to be lawless, they always believed that the surname Liu had business dealings with those with Liu, and they only obeyed the surname Liu. As long as Liu Yuanqiao gave the order, they would immediately dare to sell the blame and fight against the court and others.

But now it is different. After Liu Zeqing's tens of thousands of troops entered Linqing, it can be said that it has caused great changes to the local power composition.

Liu Zeqing was a strong man, and he received the full support of Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian, and made every effort to rectify local illegal activities.

The prevention of the grain was to protect the main arteries of the imperial court. The security of the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou River refers not only to the prevention of attacks by bandits, but also to prevent the rebellion of the unruly people entrenched in the Linqing period. After tens of thousands of troops suppressed here, the pattern of local forces was completely changed.
