"Dad, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Liangshan bandits only have a few thousand troops to transport snowflakes and salt. I am willing to lead an army and snatch all the snowflakes and salt back." Zhu Biao asked.
Salt!
Although Dulonggang is not small, it is not big either. There are three villages, each with tens of thousands of people. The largest Zhujiazhuang even has more than 20,000 people. The reason why one Dulonggang can coexist with three villages can support nearly five people.
With tens of thousands of people, salt is a very important factor. The profit from selling private salt is high enough to support three big villages at the same time. The reason why Zhujiazhuang is the strongest is because the quality of Zhujiazhuang’s private salt is the best.
Well, it has the widest channels, monopolizing most of the private salt market in Shandong, and even the Hebei market.
In the early days, Liangshan suddenly emerged. Although it eliminated salt dealers in some areas, such as Gejiazhuang, because Liangshan chose to take over the original private salt business, it did not have a big impact on the private salt trade in Dulonggang at first. Instead, it unified the Shandong market.
, business is doing better.
But half a year ago, the situation suddenly changed. A large number of cheap snowflake salt suddenly appeared on the market. The so-called snowflake salt is actually a folk name for high-quality table salt with white crystals and no bitter taste. This kind of salt has always existed, and you can't always buy it.
Let the rich and even the royal family use the bitter taste of table salt that ordinary people use. However, the quantity of snowflake salt is not large and the price is ten times or even dozens of times that of ordinary table salt. Even Zhujiazhuang also takes it.
Not too much.
However, the snowflake salt that appeared in Shandong six months ago is not only of good quality, cheap, but also in large quantities. Although there is no direct evidence, it is obviously the work of Liangshan. These snowflake salts have occupied a vast market in a short period of time. This
This is equivalent to cutting off Sanzhuang's biggest source of wealth. This is also an important reason why Sanzhuang can quickly form a relatively close alliance and become the vanguard and bridgehead against Liangshan.
"..."
Regarding his youngest son's suggestion, Zhu Chaofeng said nothing and fell into deep thought.
Are you excited?
Of course he was excited, that was the best snowflake salt. Once he got it, he would make a lot of money this time, which could greatly alleviate the crisis in the village, but he didn't dare to move. Could this be Liangshan's conspiracy?
"Dad, this is a rare opportunity." Zhu Biao became anxious when his father didn't say anything.
"Third brother, please be patient." The eldest brother Zhu Long said, "We must find out whether this is Liang Shanbo's conspiracy."
"What kind of conspiracy can there be?" Zhu Biao said: "The main force of Liangshanbo is in Yuanbi Village in Xuzhou, not in Liangshan at all. Dad, brother, give me three thousand people, and I will definitely get these snowflakes and salt back."
"Coach Qin, what do you think?" Zhu Chaofeng looked at Qin Ming and asked.
"Master, we really have to be careful of Liangshan's conspiracy. If Liangshan wants to deal with us, attacking by force is not the best choice. But A Biao is right. There are so many snowflakes and salt. If we miss them and fall into the hands of the Liangshan bandits, it will be too dangerous.
It's a pity, and according to intelligence, the main force of the Liangshan Army is indeed in the south. From a certain point of view, if we want to attack, we must use overwhelming force to resolve the battle in a short time, and the location can be chosen in Biyi Territory.
, the terrain here is flat, even if the Liangshan bandits want to ambush, it will not be easy, and it is not far from Dulonggang, so they can attack, retreat or defend." Qin Ming said.
Qin Ming is also an old official in official circles. He did not answer the core question of "whether to fight". He just performed his duty and expressed how to fight if he wanted to fight.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Chaofeng said: "Go and invite Li Ying and Grand Duke Hu."
"Dad, what are you asking these two old guys to do?" Hearing Zhu Chaofeng's words, Zhu Biao immediately exploded and said quickly: "Our Zhujiazhuang has the ability to monopolize these snowflakes and salt, why should we give up such good things to others?"
them."
"Confused!" Zhu Chaofeng scolded, and then explained: "Lao San, you have to remember that now our opponent is Liangshan, the Sanzhuang Alliance, one will be prosperous, one will suffer losses, do you think they will not know this, if
We act alone and there is no trust between us?"
"Third brother, please be patient. What I said is right. Moreover, that old boy Li Ying is indeed excellent in intelligence. He has buried many informants in Liangshan. We must confirm it through him.
The main force of the Liangshan Army, not to mention the final bulk, also belongs to our Zhujiazhuang." Zhu Long said.
Although the three brothers of the Zhu family are brothers from the same mother, their personalities are completely different. The eldest brother, Zhu Long, has a calm personality and is mature in doing things. The second brother, Zhu Hu, has a restrained personality and treats people with grace. The third brother, Zhu Biao, then
It’s just a firecracker that can be fired at a moment’s notice, so Zhu Biao has the best relationship with Qin Ming, the “Thunderbolt”, because they have similar personalities.
"This business is a big loss. If Liang Shanjun is really in Yuanbi Village, it will be even worse." Zhu Biao said angrily, but he was helpless. He is a typical person who wants benefits but doesn't want to pay anything.
, in the final analysis, he is just a child who has not grown up and is spoiled.
…
"Master Li, do you mean that Liang Shan did it on purpose?"
"Not bad." Li Ying nodded.
"These Liangshan thieves are indeed treacherous. They are trying to lure the snakes out of their caves to deal with our Sanzhuang Alliance in Dulonggang." Hu Cheng quickly stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Dad, two uncles, we must be more vigilant next. The thieves in Liangshanbo are planning a plan.
If it doesn’t work, I’m afraid a huge army will invade the territory next.”
After hearing Hu Cheng's words, many people nodded in agreement. Only Li Ying flashed a look of embarrassment on his face, looked at Hu Cheng and said, "Xiannie, please sit down first and listen to what I have to say."
"According to the information provided by the informant, there is indeed a conspiracy of Liang Shanbo, but this is not to lure the snake out of the cave, but to raise suspicions in Liangshan." Li Ying said, Li Ying was known as the "Putting Eagle" in Jianghu, and had been an official in the early years.
, a bit like Song Jiang, with a wide network of contacts, and he was able to get informants into Liangshan early.
"What's the meaning?"
"It is true that most of the main force in Liangshan is in the south. When Liangshan lacked troops to escort Xuehuayan, they came up with this method. They walked past us openly and openly, just to arouse our suspicion and make us think that this was actually
It's Liangshan's trick to not send troops to protect the safety of Xuehuayan," Li Ying said.
"What a cunning Liangshan bandit!" After hearing Li Ying's words, everyone naturally cursed him for a while, but Hu Chengcheng seemed a little embarrassed. Fortunately, everyone's attention was not on him.
Subsequently, the three villages quickly unified their opinions and sent troops to snatch the snowflake salt.
