Hearing that Ruhua wanted to offer her a plan, Mrs. Cai laughed angrily: "You, a servant girl, imitated Zhuge Kongming in proposing a plan and spread it out. Wouldn't it make others laugh at you? You should tell me and listen to me.
I want to see how many liters and bushels your little hoof has grown!"
Ruhua walked forward on her knees, lay down in front of the bed and muttered in Cai's ear for a while. After hearing this, Cai suddenly stood up, looked at Ruhua up and down several times, nodded and said: "My son, I can't help you."
There is a deep heart for me! I want to
You are not as big as a brat, but you are like a female soldier taught by Sun Wuzi. Your plan is right on my mind, but it is a big deal. I will have to work with him carefully when he returns safely.
Think about it, and when things come to pass, it will naturally be to your advantage!"
Two days later, the money and food were sufficient, and there were clouds of masts and masts in the river outside Damingfu City. The entire Liang Shanshui Army arrived. The most eye-catching thing was the ten sand boats with ten thousand stones. These ten sand boats had flat bottoms and square heads, and were as wide as three big houses.
The mast is five feet high, and the two sides are driven by waterwheels. From a distance, it looks like a connected city, which is extremely majestic.
After Ximen Qing went to Liangshan, he had a whimsical idea of pirating a steam engine. Unfortunately, it was easier for him to think than to do. Without sealing material, the "boiler" full of loopholes did not work at all and even burned many people. Ximen Qing had no choice.
I had no choice but to give up on my high-tech ambitions and settle for the next best thing. I built these ten waterwheel-driven 10,000-stone sand boats to transport grain in peacetime and troops in wartime. It can be said that it is better to be like a tiger than a dog!
Although these ten thousand-stone sand ships opened the eyes of the people of Damingfu, 1.5 million stones of grain cannot be transported by ten large ships. In addition to the ten thousand-stone ships, there are countless other medium-sized ships and small ships. Liangshan wanted to
In this battle, most of the fishing boats in the eight hundred miles of water were recruited.
The waterway was busy, and the land route was no exception. The soldiers of Daming Prefecture who refused to surrender were used as coolies, moving back and forth like ants moving food for Ximen Qing. Of course, Ximen Qing would not use his people in vain, Liangshan
He made a new windfall of 10 million yuan, and he spent this small amount of money to sell people's hearts without blinking an eye.
Traveling by land and water, in two days, all the money and rice were handed over. Ximen Qing opened a golden avenue to Liang Zhongshu: "Master Liang, please come back or not!"
Liang Zhongshu finally got his life. He was as anxious as a bereaved dog or like a fish in a drain. He led the remaining soldiers to defeat and fled back to Daming Mansion in embarrassment. Along the way, Liang Zhongshu sighed, thinking that no one in the world was more unlucky than him.
In fact, there are many people who are more unlucky than Liang Zhongshu.
After receiving the reassurance that Liang Zhongshu was leaving and returning, the Liang family members finally took action and resolutely implemented the idea into execution with the support of Cai.
In the past two days, Liang Weisuo, the housekeeper of Liang Mansion, had invited all the Yamen officials of Daming Prefecture and officials from all capitals and counties under his jurisdiction based on Mrs. Cai's post. Liang Weisuo gathered the crowd and said: "The Lord who stayed behind was ordered to fight against rebellion, but who knew
The thieves are so rampant that they even took advantage of my family to send troops and left the Daming Mansion empty.
When the situation was empty, a large army came to attack. Fortunately, the left-behind adults came back to help at night, and fought fiercely with the grass bandits in Daming Mansion. The left-behind adults are loyal to the country, and when the troops under their command are serving their lives, they must be rewarded greatly to inspire everyone.
From now on, I will work hard to destroy the thieves, repay Heaven's grace, and bring peace to the common people!"
All the officials praised: "What the steward said is not bad at all!"
Liang Weisuo then said logically: "In order to reward the three armies in the past two days, national funds had to be spent. All the adults here have witnessed it with their own eyes. But the leader of the thieves is Ximen Qing of Liangshan. He is the reincarnation of the star, with three heads, six arms, and seventy-two
Transformations with supernatural powers, traveling across Shandong
Hebei is brave and hard to defeat. Although the left-behind adults tried their best to drive them away, how do you know that they will not come back? The left-behind lady Huizhi Lanxin gave us instructions - it is better to prepare for rain than to dig a well when thirsty.
, the soldiers and civilians of Daming Prefecture must be united as one to unite as one!"
All the officials high-fived and applauded: "After hearing Madam's wonderful plan, you can imagine the master's magical plan - there is only one stone of spiritual energy in the world, and the master's sect alone has nine fights - now I believe it is true!"
Liang Weisuo smiled and said: "You sirs are so good at reciting good wishes. My wife and the Grand Master will definitely like it after hearing it. Let's get back to the subject - after all the calculations, my wife would like to ask you all to express your gratitude to the gentry, scholars and people of this mansion, as well as from all walks of life.
business shop
Households, etc., allocate a certain number of copper coins to prepare for the invaders as appropriate. When the invaders are defeated, they will report to the officials and reward them in full. This is also a good governance for the court. But I don’t know if you are willing to share the worries of the officials and the grand master.
, to express your kindness to the people of this province?"
After hearing this, all the officials felt enlightened. In the past two days, the delivery of money and rice at Damingfu Pier was so loud that Mrs. Cai wanted to cover the sky with one hand. That was an idiot's dream. Now that the city is full of storms, who doesn't know that Liang Zhongshu was captured by the soldiers?
At the Maling crossing, Liangshan Ximenqing pinched his life and demanded money and rice, which caused Daming Mansion to be turned upside down. Today's talk of rewarding the three armies is clearly to make up for the losses outside the embankment. Daming Mansion deserves to be robbed this time.
Although they had a clear mind, none of these officials objected. Anyway, they would all benefit from this generous donation, so why not? What if something goes wrong, and Master Cai is behind the scenes, God
Can't collapse.
So all the officials rolled their sleeves, fisted, danced, and swore that they would answer the call of their wives and contribute to the great cause of preparing for the invasion and preparation of the people for the people. They spoke with such impassioned words that there was a sound of gold and stone in the abyss.
Liang Weisuo was overjoyed. He bowed to all the officials and sighed: "After all, you are the pillar of my famous palace! When it comes to national affairs now, see how broad-minded and insightful you are. When I return to my wife, I will wipe out the thieves and bandits."
Today, in the name of recommending virtuous people to the country, even if my wife is a female, she must do her part!"
As the officials listened, the happy flower turned from the depths of her buttocks to her face. They felt saliva on their tongues and brightened their minds. They all knelt down to Liang Weisuo and said in unison: "It's all done by your Excellency!"
Liang Weisuo calmly accepted the officials' three obeisances, then knelt down and returned the courtesy, and carefully adjusted a high-pitched tone of fear: "My lords, I'm so embarrassed! How can I, a small servant, deserve the genuflections of the adults?"
Not the son of man! Not the son of man!”
All the officials were talking about it: "Madam and the left-behind master are the reincarnation of Wu Zixu, and they must have two arms to lift the thousand-jin cauldron - Mr. Liang is the right-hand man of the madam and the left-behind master. He is a Jinshi who has not passed the imperial examination and can decide things."
The number one scholar! If there are no adults in the Daming Mansion, how can we make it happen?"
Although Liang Wei was in full bloom, he still did not forget about the business and said with a smile: "The praises of all the adults are enough for me. However, the military situation is very important. I hope that you will work hard and get the matter done within five days!"
All the officials flattered in unison: "Why use five days? Three days is enough!"
Liang Weisuo cupped his hands and said: "In that case, three days later, the villain will be waiting here specially!"
After all the officials resigned, they immediately started to work vigorously and resolutely. All the government officials in Damingfu City joined forces to summon all the officials in the city, including the big businessmen, big shops, and those in charge of the big business, and summoned the Cai family in public. As soon as the lady's intention was announced, she then said: "My lady's intention is to protect the country and the people. Everyone here is a prominent figure in the famous mansion, so I ask you to donate generously, and also to those evil people below. Set an example!"
The heads and faces looked at each other in confusion. What kind of face did you have? It was clearly a pig face, and it was served as a side dish for drinking by the government! The figures of 10 million guan and 1.5 million shi were common both inside and outside the Daming Mansion. It is known throughout the country that when everyone is gnashing their teeth, they never imagined that the government could be so shameless and have the nerve to stretch out their hands in front of everyone.
All the pig faces turned to look at one person. The man's ancestors lived in Daming Mansion. He was the first rich man among them. His surname was Lu, and his twin names were Junyi. He had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his sticks were unparalleled in the world. Those who do good things are called the Three Wonders of Hebei. ——The Bronze Guanyin of Zhengding Buddhist Temple (Longxing Temple), the Iron Lion of Cangzhou, and the Big Stone Bridge of Zhaozhou—the auras of these three places are all concentrated in this person, so the heroes in the world unanimously gave him the nickname "Jade Qilin" , people at that time called him "Ximen Qing from Shandong and Jade Qilin from Hebei". Being as famous as Ximen Qing is a testament to his heroism.
But no matter how great a hero is, when he comes under the roof of the greedy government, he has to be coiled up even if he is a dragon, and he has to lie down even if he is a tiger. Lu Junyi made some calculations in his mind, sighed secretly, shook his head at the inquiring eyes of everyone, stood up and said: " My wife is sincere in protecting the Song Dynasty. As the people of the Song Dynasty, how can we not make some small efforts? I, Lu, will be happy to donate 100,000 yuan!"
Lu Junyi's family in Beijing has a big business, and the government really can't afford to offend him. Although he pays a lot of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes on weekdays, if he can spend money to buy peace, that's better than anything else. In recent years, the Lu family's land has been produced and traded. The profits are good, and after deducting the government's endless demands, it can last for another three or two years, but if Mrs. Cai's appetite keeps pace with the times...
If Lu Junyi had pledged 100,000 guan on weekdays, these officials would have been so beautiful that they would have laughed. But what time is it today? It is the time to contribute to the country! Mrs. Cai kindly donated 10 million guan, and the richest man in Daming Mansion only made a mere appearance. One hundred thousand guan is really underestimating oneself and others! The Yamen official in the court immediately darkened his face and sneered: "Exceptor Lu, if the Liangshan bandits invade the city, your Lu family's centuries-old foundation will be wiped out! Is it possible that all of it will be wiped out!" Are you, the Three Wonders of Hebei, only worth a hundred thousand coins?"
Lu Junyi gritted his teeth: "Sir, you are right! If you don't double up, just donate 200,000 yuan!"
After hearing this number, all the pig-faced faces in the audience turned as pale as earth.
Unexpectedly, all the government officials present sneered, and someone said in a long voice: "Exceptor Lu, the three armies are fighting hard outside, and their flesh and blood are smeared on the grass, but you only gave out 200,000 guan. It really chilled the hearts of the soldiers. !If the army's mentality changes, one man fights against the other, and thousands of people follow, rushing to your Lu family... How embarrassing is the feeling, how embarrassing is the feeling!"
All the blood in Lu Junyi's body rushed to the top of the fontanel, but he could only flow back down obediently. After staying for a long time, he said in a solemn voice: "Please let me know clearly."
Then an official struck the case with a gavel and shouted: "It must be five hundred thousand!"
There was a "snap" sound, and a team of swordsmen and axemen were posted under the two corridors, staring eagerly at the hall. All the pig-faced people were frightened.
Lu Junyi let out a long sigh and thought to himself: "Sure enough! These millions of hurdles cannot be easily overcome!"
He then raised his hands and said to the hall: "My lords, as a citizen of Daming Mansion, Lu Junyi is willing to donate 500,000 yuan to support the military!"
One official laughed and said, "I wonder if the other gentlemen would have any objections?"
All the pig-faced people said in unison: "We only obey the orders of the adults."
For Lu Junyi and the others, today is really an unlucky day. But what they don’t know is that compared with the plan offered by Ruhua, the truly unlucky days are yet to come. This is exactly:
The people's hard work has built an iron house, and the officials' greed has destroyed the walls. But they don't know what will happen next. Let's hear about it next time.
