Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 249
Don't look at the records in the Water Margin that Liangshan soldiers and horses broke through the city and opened warehouses to release grain and Minqiu did not commit any crimes. According to Sun Xin's current understanding, it is basically impossible for the population of prefectures and counties that were attacked by bandits to not suffer much loss in this era. Yes, and the people in Liangshan haven’t done demographic statistics, so how fair can they be to deliver food to those who need it just by opening warehouses and releasing food during the few days they occupied the city?Sun Xin didn't believe it at all.

The so-called open granary to release grain is actually to bribe the local tyrants with grain, so as to provide time for themselves to empty the granary.

With Hu Sanniang's experience, this matter can be figured out long ago.

She said: "How can bandits have good people? They are just a group of scoundrels who survive by robbing farmers' houses."

This is what Hu Sanniang said from her own standpoint. Her family was originally a big landlord, and the husband she married was also a powerful man with ten thousand acres of land. As a class of landlords who are greedy for stability, this little landlord wife naturally has a kind of aversion to bandits feel.

Sun Xin knew in his heart that he didn't fully agree with Hu Sanniang's idea, and the bandit armed forces were also very valuable to buy. These refugees no longer had much sense of recognition for the social order of this era. As long as they were given a piece of property, they would immediately turn into Small business owners and small farmers who need it most.

Moreover, they have already abandoned their homes and businesses, and it is easier for them to accept a new order than those big landowners who are used to conservatism.

In the future, he will also gather a large number of bandits and refugees as his basic power base. Of course, they must be trained and reformed by him.

"I look at the matter in Liangshan. It might be calmed down in a year or two. In the next two years, we need to take the opportunity to expand our influence."

Hu Sanniang: "Do you want to hold more supervisory committees?"

Sun Xin shook his head: "Where our power expands, the Supervisory Committee can do it. It won't be so fast in a year or two."

"What should I do?"

"Earning money is an opportunistic way, but our influence is already so great, I'm afraid we won't be able to develop opportunistically. I think we should take the initiative to help the court defend the city now."

Sanniang was quite surprised when she heard this: "Is it not worthwhile to use our soldiers and horses to help the imperial court defend the city?"

Sun Xindao: "If you have money, you need to recruit soldiers. If we want to become the biggest power in Shandong, we must take the step of relying on the imperial court."

After hearing this, Hu Sanniang couldn't help worrying: "But if we do too much, although we are helping the court now, it will inevitably become a worry for the officials in the future. What if he comes to make things difficult for us?"

Sun Xin shook his head. : "I don't think Jin Ren will give us too much time?"

Hu Sanniang was taken aback: "The golden man?"

Sun Xin had long wanted to talk to Hu Sanniang first.

"I'm afraid that ten years later, the Jin people will go south to attack the Song Dynasty. If the official opponents just retreat southward in a big way, we have such a large industry in Shandong, and we can't escape. What kind of situation will we face?"

Hu Sanniang couldn't believe what Sun Xin said.

"I heard that the Jin people are just now at war with the Liao Kingdom. Could it be that they can have such power?"

Sun Xin nodded firmly.

"I've received a lot of news from the north. The Jinren are very ambitious. We need to make plans early."

Sun Xin expressed his own judgment: "So in the past ten years, we must develop and grow quickly, so that we can have the power to protect ourselves. If we don't help the imperial court defend the city, how can we expand our power in a legitimate way? How can we let people know how strong we are? If we don’t take this step, our supervisory committee will come to that day in the future, and our peasants and soldiers will be nothing but dry bones under the iron heels of the golden men.”

After all, Hu Sanniang believed in her husband. Although it was hard to believe what he said, she nodded silently.

He looked at Sun Xin and asked. : How many years are you going to do this?

That's ten years.

Ten years may sound like a long time, but it is really not a long time for the power he wants to build.

His power is not the kind of rogues who are ready to fight, that kind of rogues appeared in history at the turn of the Song and Jin Dynasties, and it has been proved that they cannot withstand the suppression of the Jin people at all.

If he wanted to survive in the Northland in the future, what he wanted to build was an impregnable base.

Everything must be prepared first, and it is natural to obtain approval first in your own family.

After talking with Hu Sanniang, it was already bright outside, and after the two of them had breakfast, Sun Xin hurriedly went out to arrange things in the factory, and the maid, Ya'er, came in to clean up the dishes.

Seeing Sun Xin go out, Ya'er took away the bowl of porridge and said quietly, "I'm afraid he still doesn't know now, miss, you already knew about Zeng Saihua, right?"

Hu Sanniang glared at her: "Don't go out and talk nonsense!"

Ya'er curled her lips: "You used to spoil him."

Seeing Hu Sanniang getting a little angry, Ya'er quickly shut up, took the dishes and went out.

In fact, when Sun Xin came back from Jinzhou last time, Hu Sanniang had already discovered that there was a woman's handkerchief next to him, and after asking the steward who went with Sun Xin, Hu Sanniang quickly found out the matter clearly.

Hearing that Sun Xin had someone outside, Hu Sanniang was angry and wronged, and cried secretly several times, but she never dared to let Sun Xin find out.

This time at Zengtou Market, Hu Sanniang also quietly watched Zeng Saihua's behavior beside her.

Hu Sanniang felt aggrieved when she thought of the little trouble between Sun Xin and Zeng Saihua, but she was entangled in her heart.

She is naturally full of jealousy in her heart, but she is also afraid that Sun Xin will be unhappy if she speaks out, and even because she is afraid that Sun Xin will delay his work if she finds out about it, so Hu Sanniang dare not let Sun Xin Knowing that she has already found out.

It was also at this time that Hu Sanniang realized that he actually took Sun Xin's affairs more seriously than his own, and silently complained in her heart that she had no spine.

In fact, yesterday afternoon she wanted to scare Sun Xin into venting her anger, but when facing Sun Xin, she just couldn't express her temper.He was coaxed by Sun Xin three times and five times.

Seeing the servant girl going out, she got up and ran to the bed and punched it with her fist, as if the roll of quilt was her own Sun Xin.

"Sanggong is really a bad guy... a bad guy!"

In the final analysis, Sun Xin, the husband-in-law, was really kind to Hu Sanniang before, which made her feel very happy, so now Hu Sanniang is very entangled, but she is afraid of losing Sun Xin.

Every time Hu Sanniang wanted to turn against Sun Xin, she flinched.Although she lost her temper now, when she saw Sun Xin at night, she would still bury this resentment in her heart. This girl is still as easy to deceive as when Sun Xin met her back then.

Coming out of the factory, Sun Xin saw Hu Taigong laughing and chatting with several guests who came to congratulate him beside the green belt.

When Sun Xin arrived, the conversation of several people was almost over. Grandpa Hu sent them away with a smile and saw Sun Xin approaching when he turned around.

Sun Xin hurriedly said hello: "Daddy, did you get up so early? Who are those?"

"They are all old friends for decades. They were small businessmen in the past, but now they are quite influential. I saw these old friends again yesterday, so I took them to your factory to have a look, and told them in advance Say, ask them if they want to buy linen yarn."

Sun Xin was instantly moved.

Hu Taigong has long been out of business in Hujiazhuang, and he doesn't need to discuss any business at all, and he doesn't have many shares in this place, so he doesn't need to be so concerned about sales. The reason why he does this is not to worry about his son-in-law. The products of the hemp spinning mills are not marketable.

The sun had just risen, and Grandpa Hu took them around the factory. Didn't he pull them up when it was dark?
