The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 307 First Row Seats
Mu Xu didn't know what happened behind him. For him, although he didn't see Wu Song during this trip to Cangzhou, it was still a fruitful experience.Being able to build a relationship with Chai Jin, a land tiger in the north, is great for his early development. He is not short of silver. The gold, silver and jewelry in the Qiankun Pearl alone has at least three to five million taels. What is lacking are resources and talents.

With the help of Chai Jin, the resources needed in the early stage can be handled easily, and now Mu Xu only needs to bring in some more helpers to set up a grass-roots team.Moreover, he already had a few suitable candidates in his heart, and after he was going to settle down in Liangshanbo, he would go out to recruit good men. Some people, no matter what, he would not take advantage of Song Jiang!

Different from walking when he came, he had horse power to help him when he went. It only took about ten days for Mu Xu to arrive outside Yuncheng County. He is currently being wanted and it is inconvenient for him to enter the city, so he asked the villagers for the direction of Liang Shanbo. , went straight there.

After walking for half a day, he came across a restaurant. Mu Xu wanted to pass by on horseback, but he didn't want to snatch a person out of the store, stopped in front of the horse, and said, "My lord, you are back."

Mu Xu took a closer look, who could it be if it wasn't Zhang San? He hurriedly got off his horse, helped Zhang San up, and asked, "Why are you waiting for me here?"

Zhang San took the rein from Mu Xu, tied it to the pillar in front of the door, and replied, "I have been waiting for you for a long time under the order of Master Lu."

When the two of them entered the store, a strong man in his thirties came forward to greet him, and bowed to Mu Xu, "Zhu Gui greeted his elder brother, but he didn't go far to greet him, please forgive me."

Mu Xu's eyes narrowed, he smiled and supported Zhu Gui, and said, "Since you're one of us, there's no need to be courteous."

Hearing this, Zhu Gui felt certain, and quickly echoed, "That's right, in the future, brothers will follow my elder brother to do things, and I hope that my elder brother will take care of you." Then, he ordered the waiter to serve wine and food.

After some food and wine, Mu Xu asked, "Who is in charge on the mountain now, how is Coach Zhang?"

Zhang San replied with a smile, "Master Lu is the one who decides, everything is fine with Coach Zhang and the others."

Mu Xu had guessed this verse long ago, and the reason why he asked this question was to use Zhu Gui's mouth to reassure others, so he asked again, "How about Chief Wang Lun leading them?"

Zhang San didn't understand the meaning of Mu Xu's words, but Zhu Gui was agitated, and hurriedly replied, "I don't know, Master Lu came to fall into the grass last month, and the king pretended to accept it, but secretly wanted to kill the master. He didn't want to be discovered by the master. Killed with a Zen stick!"

Mu Xu patted his thigh and sighed, "Oh, it's my fault that I came a step late and failed to save the king's life." Then he talked about his relationship with Chai Jin, and said, "My brother Chai and I Since I learned from him that the chiefs are old acquaintances, I rushed over here in a hurry, fearing that something like this might happen, I wonder how Chief Song and Chief Du are?"

Zhu Gui persuaded, "Brother, you don't need to worry about it. Besides, it's no wonder that Master Lu is responsible for this incident. It is the leader Wang who can't tolerate people, which led to such a tragedy. As for the leaders Song and Du, leader Du Qian was safe and sound. Wan Tou received a small injury, but fortunately there is nothing serious."

Mu Xu asked a few words about Song Wan's injury, and then said, "This is the end of the matter, it's useless to talk too much, I'll write to Brother Chai to explain the misunderstanding, and I think he can understand."

After the meal, the three of them came to the outer water pavilion, Zhu Gui took out a bow and arrow, and shot a loud arrow towards the reeds. Not long after, they saw four minions coming in a small boat from the reeds not far away.

Zhu Gui invited Mu Xu to board the boat, gave instructions to the minions, and the boat sailed towards the center.Standing at the bow of the boat, Mu Xu observed carefully along the way, and found that there are indeed many forks in the water. With the cover of reeds, if there is no acquaintance to guide the way, nine out of ten will get lost in it.

"How many ships are there in the village now, and how many people can each ship carry?"

Hearing Mu Xu's question, Zhu Gui hurriedly replied respectfully, "There are twenty small boats, each of which can accommodate twenty people, and two medium-sized boats, each of which can accommodate fifty people."

Seeing Mu Xu frowned, Zhu Gui explained, "Brother doesn't know, there are more than [-] people in our village, these boats are enough."

But Mu Xu said, "There are fewer people and fewer boats. Let's recruit more people and build some boats by the way. With so few people, we can't even hold the water. How can we make a big deal?"

Zhu Gui was stunned, and said inwardly, "This master doesn't talk about his abilities, but his tone is much stronger than that of Wang Lun. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?"

While the few people were thinking about their thoughts, the boat came to the Golden Beach, set foot on the Golden Beach, and walked up the mountain along the road. There was a pavilion halfway up the mountain. Zhu Gui introduced, "This is the Duanjin Pavilion. My brother wants to rest here. .”

Mu Xu waved his hand and refused, "No, just go directly to the cottage."

After passing through three passes on the road, he finally came to the gate of the village. Mu Xu looked around and saw that there were high mountains all around, the village was located in the middle, and there was a flat open space in front of the village, with a radius of three to five hundred feet.

Mu Xu was thinking in his heart, if the village is expanded, how many people can be accommodated at most, when he saw Lu Zhishen leading two big men to usher, he said from a distance, "How slow are you, dear brother?"

A smile appeared on Mu Xu's face, and he said, "Official Chai's kindness is hard to get rid of, so I can't help but hang around for a few more days, it's hard work brother."

Lu Zhishen brought people to the front, exchanged a few pleasantries, then pointed at Mu Xu, and said to the two men behind him, "This is the Mu family brothers, now the famous Optimus Prime in the world."

Song Wan and Du Qian were about to go up to meet him, but Mu Xu raised his hand to stop him. The two were confused, so they heard him say, "Optimus Prime, when did I get this nickname?"

Lu Zhi said with a deep smile, "This news came from the Chai officials a few days ago. I think it won't be long before it spreads all over the world."

Mu Xu was extremely speechless, Optimus Prime, is there Megatron?But after thinking about it, people nowadays don't know the meaning of Optimus Prime in later generations. Moreover, this name was originally a Chinese translation for the head of the car. That means.

Lu Zhishen didn't know what Mu Xu was thinking, seeing him blankly in place, he couldn't help asking curiously, "But this nickname doesn't suit my brother?"

Mu Xuyan said insincerely, "No, I just think it's too high-profile."

"What's wrong with the Sa family? With my brother's ability, no matter how high-profile it is, I can afford it!"

Du Qian who was on the side suddenly interjected, "Master Lu is right. There are many people who are in the world these days. They don't have much ability, but their nicknames are getting louder and louder. Why should my brother care about such a trivial matter?"

Song Wan followed suit, "That's right, that's right. I've seen quite a few people in Jianghu. Those people are ridiculous to say the least. They only know how to do kung fu, but they are not ashamed. What are they called Zhentai Mountain and Sai Zhangfei?"

Mu Xu humbled himself a few words, took advantage of the situation and greeted Song Wan and Du Qian, and then, accompanied by several people, came to the Juyi Hall.Entering the hall, before Mu Xu could speak, Lu Zhishen pulled him by force, asking him to take the first chair.

Even though Mu Xu was very willing in his heart, he still refused on the face, "Brother, what are you doing? In terms of age, the younger brother is young and talented. In terms of qualifications, the younger brother is a newcomer. How can he take the high position rashly? If it gets out , isn’t it to make friends in the Jianghu laugh? In my opinion, it’s better for the elder brother to take the top spot, so as to be more convincing.”

Lu Zhishen shouted, "It's okay for the Sa family to charge forward, but it's embarrassing for them to sit in the government office and raise their tent. Besides, how can I not know what my virtuous brother has! If anyone refuses to accept it, let him first ask the Sa family about the Zen stick in his hand!"

No matter what Lu Zhishen said, Mu Xu just shouldn't. He inadvertently glanced at Du Qian and the others during his refusal. Song Wan was stupid and didn't understand the meaning. How to do?Immediately, they stepped forward together, surrounded by Mu Xu and took the first seat.

Song Wan was the only one left, and he realized it later, after thinking about it, he quickly expressed his opinion, "Master Lu is right, my brother deserves the top spot, and I will wait for you as brothers." It is convinced."

Mu Xu took the leader's seat as he wished, and then asked Lu Zhishen to take the second seat, and the remaining three remained as usual.After everyone arranged their seats, Mu Xu immediately became concerned about the money and food for the population of the village. Du Qian, who manages the money and food, replied truthfully,

"Our village has a population of [-] people, of whom [-] are young and strong, and the rest are old and weak women and children. There are more than [-] copper coins, [-] taels of gold, and [-] taels of silver. , [-] shi of food."

Mu Xu's focus is mainly on grain. He knows that one stone in the Song Dynasty is equivalent to about [-] catties in later generations.It seems to be quite a lot, but in fact, without increasing the population, it can only last for three months at most.
