Chapter three hundred and seventy-two temptation is dumbfounded
"Pedant, did Mr. Chai see something?"
After the celebration banquet, Song Jiang found a free opportunity and asked Wu Yong to talk.
"should not!"
Wu Yong affirmed: "Some of what the official said should be his own thoughts. After all, the official's background is much better than ours, and he may know a lot of information and situations that we don't understand!"
What the two people were talking about was naturally the future recruitment plan!
Song Jiang has never wanted to be a water bandit all his life. He has a crazy obsession with becoming an official official.
However, it is not a good time to make it public yet...
The nominal boss of Liangshan is Chao Gai, and this guy has no intention of accepting recruitment.
A large number of leaders on the mountain have little interest in recruiting people.
If you bring it up rashly, I am afraid that your closest confidants and leaders will react in reaction.
There are indeed some Liangshan leaders who have sworn relations with the government.
Before he became the real leader of Liangshan and had no confidence in persuading or overpowering some leaders who were unwilling to recruit leaders, Song Jiang simply did not dare to act rashly.
"But the tone of official Chai's usual speech seems to be very disapproving of the imperial court!"
Song Jiang said worriedly: "I'm afraid Chai Daguan has no intention of being recruited by the imperial court!"
Different from the original work, although Chai Daguan's time on the mountain was short, he had already established his position in Liangshan.
Especially this time, the complete annihilation of Hu Yanzhuo's officers and soldiers made the reputation of Chai officials even higher.
Moreover, the Liangshan rear camp was well organized, and the leaders of the rear camp were convinced of the high officials. This was also a force that could not be ignored.
"After all, high-ranking officials have suffered greatly at the hands of local officials. How can it be possible if they say they don't have any resentment in their hearts?"
Wu Yong pointed out the crux of the problem and said slowly: "If the official doesn't get rid of this feeling in his heart, it will be very difficult for him to change his mind!" Fastest updated mobile version::
"What should we do?"
"Brother, don't panic, we can talk to the senior officials first and get a feel for what's going on!"
Gently shaking the goose feather fan in his hand, Wu Yong said confidently: "I believe that even if the officials disagree with our ideas, they will not let it out easily!"
Song Jiang hesitated slightly, then nodded in agreement...
After making the decision, the two of them quickly found Chai Daguan together, put a table of food and wine on the table, and chatted endlessly.
However, what makes Song Jiang and Wu Yong depressed is that their experience and knowledge are really insufficient, and there is no way they can play tricks on Chai Daguan.
When it came to the end, it was Chai Daguan who was giving advice and talking about everything, while the two of them could only listen honestly.
Especially for some information outside the Song Dynasty, both Song Jiang and Wu Yong listened with gusto and felt that their horizons were opened and they didn't expect the world to be so wonderful.
By the time they reacted, an hour and a half had passed, and the food and wine on the table had long been wiped out.
They glanced at each other subconsciously and saw embarrassment in each other's eyes.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the high-ranking officials to take a break, Song Jiang brought the topic to the court. Unexpectedly, this really stirred up a hornet's nest...
Chai Daguan was not polite at all and said with a sneer: "The Song Dynasty at the moment is full of internal and external troubles, not to mention that it is terminally ill!"
"From a large perspective, the financial crisis that started during the Renzong period has been quite serious, and by this dynasty it has become even more difficult to deal with!"
"Do you know why Mr. Cai Jing has been able to rise and fall so many times and become a tumbler in the court? He is not just a flatterer. There are definitely many flatterers in the world who surpass Cai Jing. But why is Cai Jing so dominant?"
"Because Cai Jing is extremely capable and can help deal with all kinds of extremely complicated troubles in the court. The most important thing is that he can make money!"
"For the Huashi Gang alone, the imperial court and today's officials need to pay as much as gold and silver to support it. This is a disaster for the imperial court, which is already in financial difficulties!"
"However, Cai Jing was not only able to obtain a huge amount of money for today's officials to spend, but he could also barely maintain the appearance of the Song Empire. This is the good minister that is most needed today!"
Seeing that Song Jiang and Wu Yong were confused, Chai Daguan said with a smile: "Do you really think that today's officials are fools and have been deceived by treacherous ministers?"
"To put it bluntly, today's officials are quite powerful. At least their power skills have reached a certain level. Looking at the emperors of the Song Dynasty, the authority of today's officials is also one of the best!"
"At least, no minister dares to spit in the face of today's officials, and there is only one Emperor Renzong!"
"I heard that today's officials have a very deep foundation in calligraphy and painting, even no worse than the so-called masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Can a person with top literary accomplishments be a fool?"
"Today's officials like to have fun and have no intention of rectifying the court affairs. Naturally, they are surrounded by a group of deceitful ministers who are fawning over them!"
"It can be said that the root cause of the rottenness of the court lies in today's body!"
Having said this, Official Chai curled his lips and said with a smile: "As for how bad the place is, I think two of you know better than me. Ordinary people are almost at the point where they can no longer survive. The bandits all over the Song Dynasty are the best proof.
!”
"Of course, this has nothing to do with us. The more stringent the government is, the better it will be for our situation. At least it won't be too eye-catching!"
Song Jiang was a little embarrassed, but he bit the bullet and tried carefully: "I wonder what the high officials think of Liangshan's future?"
"Make a fortune silently!"
Chai Daguan did not hesitate at all, and said directly: "Waiting for the opportunity, whether it is to raise the flag or separate one side, it is a good choice!"
"Have the high officials never considered accepting the imperial court's invitation?"
"Then you are kept captive by a so-called high-ranking official with a generous salary, and you have no choice but to live or die by yourself?"
Chai Daguan said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Liangshan and Gao Qiu have a deadly feud. If they fall into his hands, there will be no good end!"
"But without a justifiable reason or a foreseeable future, some heroes will not go up the mountain easily!"
Wu Yong couldn't help but said: "After all, becoming an official official of the imperial court is the lifelong pursuit of many heroes!"
"This is not a difficult task, just follow the example of Shi Jiedu!"
Official Chai said disapprovingly: "Develop the power at hand to a certain level, defeat the army several times, let the court see how powerful it is, and then find a way to accept the recruitment!"
Song Jiang's eyes shone brightly and he said in a trembling voice: "Does the official think it is possible in Liangshan..."
"Of course it's possible!"
Chai Daguan said calmly: "It's just that a certain family stopped accompanying them. They finally escaped from Zhao Song's captivity. A certain family has no intention of throwing themselves into a trap!"
this……
Wu Yong probed: "What do you think, the official?"
"If the two of you are willing to accept the recruitment, then find a way to unite the brothers on the mountain who are willing to accept the recruitment. It is better to let some brothers who are unwilling to accept the recruitment continue to maintain the village. This can be regarded as a fallback!"
"The official is joking, but I don't have such thoughts at the moment!"
Song Jiang hurriedly denied: "The lord of Liangshan is the brother of the King of Heaven. Even if he has any ideas, it is not his turn to make the decision!"
hehe……
"Brother Gongming, there is no need to be modest!"
Chai Daguan said bluntly: "King Chao Tianwang is just a polished commander. He is the Lord of Liangshan in name only. His power and voice are probably not as good as those of a certain family!"
Seeing that Song Jiang wanted to refute, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ming people don't say secret words in front of people, but I have something to say. If brother Gong Ming really has the idea to replace him, let me persuade King Chao Tian to abdicate the throne and give way to someone worthy of his throne!"
Having said this, Chai Daguan smiled meaningfully and said leisurely: "According to my observation, King Chao Tian is not greedy for power. Besides, he is just the leader of Green Forest Village, not even as good as Du Baozheng before him!
"
Song Jiang and Wu Yong remained silent...
With Chai Daguan's strong mental perception, he naturally noticed that these two people were extremely uneasy.
After a long time, Song Jiang smiled bitterly and said: "I don't think a high official has such keen eyesight!"
"Really speaking, King Chao Tianwang is just unlucky and was forcibly dragged into the trap by Mr. Jialiang and Brother Liu Tang!"
Ignoring Wu Yong's ugly expression, Chai Daguan smiled and said: "With King Chao Tianwang's status and financial resources, there is no need to rob the birth plan!"
"It's just gold and silver jewelry worth 100,000 yuan. If Chao Tianwang grits his teeth, he can still raise it quickly!"
Speaking of this, Chai Daguan laughed and said: "Du Baozheng is able to manage thousands of people. Coupled with Chao Tianwang's status in the world, his annual net income will never be less than fifteen thousand guan, and he has hundreds of villagers.
Don’t live your life too moistly!”
"For the sake of loyalty to the world, it can be said that it is quite difficult for King Chao Tian to abandon his family and career. It is better for him to have a peaceful rest of his life!"
When Song Jiang and Wu Yong left Chai Daguan's residence and strolled on the clean and tidy flat ground of the back camp, they looked at each other in silence for a moment.
"Pedant, can the words of high officials be trusted?"
After a long time, Song Jiang suddenly said: "This person's temperament is quite different from when I went to Chaijiazhuang to avoid trouble!"
"It should be credible!"
Wu Yong still looked like Zhuge Kongming with his pearls of wisdom, shook the goose feather fan in his hand and said leisurely: "Chai Daguan has been greatly stimulated after all. Now he is completely free and has no scruples. He doesn't want to be imprisoned like before."
You are not allowed to go out in Cangzhou!"
"But I don't feel confident about recruiting people right now!"
Song Jiang smiled bitterly and said: "Now we are living a very happy life in the mountains. If we follow the example of Shijiedu, I really don't know what the consequences will be."
"Then we have to change our ways?"
"No, let's continue to take the path of Zhao'an, but we can't be too passive. We should take the initiative!"
"What kind of initiative?"
"The military power in your hands must not be left aside, otherwise life and death will be in the hands of others, and I will be extremely unwilling to do so!"
"Then let's wait and see. Right now, the strength of the cottage is not too strong. The number of leaders that can be defeated is limited, and the momentum is far from huge enough!"
"Chai Daguan and other leaders who are unwilling to accept recruitment also need to fight for it..."
