Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 67

The spring rain came suddenly, and the sky was still clear in the morning. After an hour, the situation suddenly changed. First, there was a gust of wind, and then the blue sky was smudged with black, and large thick dark clouds gathered. Under the dim sky, bean-sized raindrops hit It fell down, and soon formed a curtain of rain.

Hundreds of big men were wearing bamboo hats and coarse clothes. Some of them took off their shirts and exposed their bronzed skin. They carried wooden boxes in groups of two and stepped on the diving board in the rain. On the golden sand beach that has been wet by the spring rain.

"Go down slowly, be careful that the board is wet and slippery."

"Try harder, you haven't eaten."

"Hurry up ahead, there are still people behind."

Noisy voices came from the rain, groups of men were either smiling or annoyed, and came to this place that carried their hopes.

"Hurry up, hurry up, set up the shelf and cover it with a raincloth, so that things don't get wet." Fei Zhen reached out and wiped her face, shaking off the rainwater on her hands, and then more raindrops hit his face On, let him do useless work.

A few minions quickly used wood and rain cloth to build a shelter from the rain. Some things couldn't get wet from the rain, so they needed to be covered quickly.

Lu Bu was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, standing on the cliff, looking at the busy people below with Xue Can, who was acting as a guard, and Chi Fang, who was going up the mountain as a guest.

Feeling the coolness of the spring rain, Lu Bu's eyes were a little deep. This is where he will be for the next few years. If it can develop and grow, it will not be able to do something according to someone's idea. If it is only on this scale, then...

Do not!
It will definitely develop!

Lu Bu clenched his fists suddenly, his joints made a "clack" sound, and his tiger eyes gleamed brightly, as if he had made up his mind to reject Yuan Shu from Jianghuai.

"Brother, it's very windy here, why don't you go to the warehouse on the mountain to avoid the wind." Chi Fang was dressed like Lu Bu, only he was thin and small, wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat. He looked like a child wearing an adult's clothes. The appearance made people wonder whether to feel sad or laugh wildly.

"Thank you brother, please." Lu Bu didn't want to leave according to his heart. The wind and rain didn't bother him much, but he couldn't bear to see Chi Fang's appearance. Although this brother was not under his command, he He was also respectful and polite along the way, and he had no complaints about some willful requests, so Lu Bu didn't want him to always show his ugly appearance in front of others, so he stretched out his hand to signal to move forward.

Chi Fang was overjoyed, and hurriedly led the way. After a while, he came to the two tall wooden houses and stretched out his hand to push them.

creak-

With an unpleasant sound, the door opened from left to right, and a few men in black stood in the empty room and looked at everyone.

"Boss Lu." The big man clasped his fists in salute and said, "According to the order of your lord, I will wait for you to come here. Now the facilities here are in your hands. I will take a boat back to Cangzhou later."

"Thank you." Lu Bu bowed back with his fists clasped, "Say hello to Brother Chai on behalf of someone."

"Dare not to follow orders." The man said, put on the bamboo hat, picked up the coir raincoat and put it on, and went out with the rest of the people towards the beach below.

"Brother, we owe a lot of favors to Mr. Chai this time." Xue Can couldn't help sighing as he watched these people go away.

Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's love, there will be a day to repay it, and we should develop ourselves, otherwise people will not be able to help when they need it, wouldn't it be ugly."

Xue Can nodded: "What brother said is very true, such kindness from high officials must be rewarded generously."

Chi Fang walked in, took off his coir raincoat and threw it on the ground, took off his bamboo hat and put it aside, looked at the empty warehouse and said to Lu Bu: "Brother, don't worry, the world is in ruins today, and most people can't eat People, as long as you do what you did in Hebei a few more times, there are some heroes who are willing to follow you."

"Haha, thank you brother for your good words." Lu Bu smiled and looked up to the sky and laughed.

"That's not auspicious words." Chi Fang shook his head, with a somewhat helpless look on his face.

Lu Bu's expression changed, he looked at him and said, "What do you mean by brother?"

Chi Fang didn't know what he thought of, and his expression was a little annoyed, and he asked, "Brother, do you know about rice field affairs?"

How could Lu Bu know? He turned his head and glanced at Xue Can. Xue Can shook his head to express his ignorance, then looked at Chi Fang again and said, "I don't know, what is this place?"

Chi Fang sneered: "I heard from the guy from Ruzhou that at the beginning of this year, some married couple proposed a new decree called 'Legislation to ask people's land deeds', which specifically asks people who have land to check the land deeds. Poor Many people transferred their land from time to time, or came here to reclaim wasteland, and they couldn’t get the land deeds at all, so the group of subalterns who tried their best to pay for the land and increase the rent.”

Lu Bu lowered his head and thought for a while, and immediately understood the key point: "It seems that this will make the poor poorer... No, it means that those who have no support will suffer."

"Brother Mingjian, that's true." Chi Fang nodded, and said again: "I heard that in the past two months, Ruzhou has benefited a lot. Create a group of broken people."

Lu Bu frowned and said, "Does the emperor of the Song Dynasty not care?"

Chi Fang snorted coldly: "How can the government care about this? He set up these offices, and the money he forced out all went into his pocket."

After hearing Chi Fang's words, Xue Can couldn't help interjecting: "Today's officials love money the most, how could they cut off their own money?"

"No one objected?" Lu Bu was a little inconceivable. According to common sense, there should be ministers who objected to this kind of competition with the people.

Chi Fang shrugged his shoulders: "We don't know what the gentlemen in the court say. There is no way to cover up, and there is no way to cover up. In short, the method of establishing rice field affairs has already begun to be implemented."

Xue Can also snorted: "Brother, this involves money, and the government will not allow anyone to object. The princes of this dynasty are very good at grabbing money, especially Cai Jing and Cai Xianggong."

Hearing this, Lu Bu was a little bit emotional: "In this way, if the Jingdong boundary is also implemented in the future, I must thank this official."

"Haha, what brother said is very true, I really should be thankful." Chi Fang and Xue Can all clapped their hands and laughed.

Seeing the two of them laughing, Lu Bu couldn't help but shook his head. His eyes were fixed on the raindrops outside the house. It seemed to be a lot smaller now, and the continuous rain curtain became intermittent, as if someone had strung up the curtains to squeeze it. A lot of rain fell, gradually less and less, and finally two patter raindrops stopped.All of a sudden, the dark clouds all over the sky cleared away, revealing a fiery red sun.

"The rain has stopped." Chi Fang looked outside and let out a sigh, finally no longer needing to put on his coir raincoat, he felt uncomfortable.

Lu Bu smiled, and just as he was about to speak, something came into his mind and he said, "Brother Chi Fang, there is no such thing as a water player here, so I wonder if you would condescend to take a top spot here?"

Chi Fang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was a little moved, but then he sighed and said: "Thanks to my brother's love, I am willing from the bottom of my heart, but unfortunately I promised Mr. Chai before to help him transport for five years Private salt, this is only the second year. A man cannot be established without trust, so we have to transport the remaining years for him."

"It's a pity." Lu Bu sighed, this Chifang is a nice person, easy-going and easy to get along with.Although he is not very skilled, he is proficient in water at any rate, and he has a Yellow River boat in his hand, which can solve his urgent needs.It's a pity that I refused, but fortunately, it was a flash of inspiration, and I opened my mouth with the idea of ​​​​trying to see if I can invite him, so there is no loss if I don't agree.

"However, I do know a few friends on the water. I will talk to them when I go back. I guess I am willing to come." Seeing Lu Bu sighing, Chi Fang felt a little sorry for some reason. The possibility of joining the gang could not help but blurted out.

"Oh? If that's the case, I'll trouble you brother." Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard the words. He has several capable people under his command, but there are pools of water all around Liangshan, and it's not good if there is no one who knows how to swim.

"Brother, don't worry, I will take it to heart, but I don't dare to say that he will come later, I just do my best." Chi Fang didn't dare to speak too much, leaving some leeway for himself.

Lu Bu nodded to express his understanding: "Brother, just try your best, whether you come or not is fate."

Xue Can looked at the two of them and thought for a while, and couldn't help but interjected: "My brother is a proud man, and he once set a rule that every leader who goes up the mountain has a thousand pennies as a salary. Don't forget when Brother Chi goes to talk about it."

Chi Fang stared at Lu Bu with wide eyes, but he had never heard of this rule.

Lu Bu didn't care, nodded and said, "That's right, XX has indeed established this rule, and now there are brothers on the mountain."

Chi Fang patted his thigh and said: "Zhi Niang thief, I should have known that I promised my brother just now, or I would be a rich man at this time."

Seeing that what he said was interesting, Xue Can laughed and said, "It's not too late to join the gang at this time, and I still have a thousand coins."

Lu Bu couldn't help laughing and jokingly said, "Brother Xue Can said that if you join the group now, you will get money."

Chi Fang laughed, shook his hands again and again and said: "You two elder brothers, don't make fun of me, I can't go to Shanchai officials without saying anything."

"Joke, don't worry about it." Lu Bu knew that he couldn't agree, so he patted his shoulder, stepped out of the room, and stretched himself.

"I know what my brother said was a joke." Chi Fang said with a smile: "It's just that there are some people who are willing to accept what my brother said."

Chi Fang and Xue Can also came out after the rain. The woods became fresher after the rain, and the world seemed to be much fresher.

Chi Fang couldn't help but took two deep breaths, looked at the surrounding area full of trees and said: "This place is full of good wood. When someone invited by Mr. Chai comes, we can use local materials to build a cottage."

Lu Bu turned his head and looked around. The terrain here is relatively high, and the lake below can still be seen. At this time, the rain had cleared and the clouds had dispersed, and the water pool was shimmering under the sunlight, like glowing fish scales floating on the water surface. It shone on the sky, and the spring breeze blew by, with a wave of light spots, which became more dazzling.

"What a big lake." Lu Bu murmured to himself, not knowing what inspired him, he looked at the surface of the water thoughtfully and said, "Do you think there are many people with good water skills around the water pool?"

Chi Fang and Xue Can looked at each other in dismay, brother, is he stunned by thinking about the navy?

"Yes, there will be." Chi Fang touched his chin and said, "I just don't know if I want to fall into the grass. I don't know the market in Jingdong. Men in Hebei who live by water have many difficulties."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he remembered Chi Fang's words about recruiting him just now, and couldn't help feeling a little hot in his heart: "I'll leave the matter of Hebei to my virtuous brother."

"It's easy to say, I will definitely recruit some people for my brother." Chi Fang was not ambiguous, and responded with a smile.

Lu Bu smiled when he heard the words, and looked at the lake again. For a moment, he felt that he saw countless boats on the water.

……

The wind is blowing and the clouds are rolling, and the water is rippling.

Circles of ripples swayed away to the distance, and a one-person fishing boat broke through the calm water and came over with the sound of rushing water.

"Straight mother thief! When did such a group of people come to the water pool?"

A big man in coarse clothes was paddling with an oar in his hand. He suddenly looked up and saw so many people and boats on the golden beach, his expression changed, but he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he took out his fishing net and spun it around Fishing with a net, while secretly watching what the people on the shore are doing.

The shore was busy in full swing, Deng Fei carried a box and walked up to a high place, turned his head and seemed to see something, couldn't help but put down the box and stood there to watch carefully: "Brother, is there a fisherman on the water watching us. "

As he spoke, he called out to Lu Bu and showed him his finger.

Lu Bu was looking down at the side thinking about something, when he heard the words, he looked along Deng Fei's arm and tilted his head: "It's just a fisherman, Zhe Mo just came here to fish."

As the two of them were talking, they saw the man cast the net and start fishing. Under the clear sky, the movement of the man to draw the net could be seen clearly. is dazzling.

Deng Fei looked at it and said with a smile: "It's because I'm overthinking, I should be a fisherman."

"Brother Xue Can, ask Brother Chi Fang to find someone to go and have a look. If it is an ordinary fisherman, expel him first. If he comes to inquire, capture him and bring him back." Lu Bu squinted his eyes and felt that something was wrong in his heart. With so many people gathered here, they were fishing peacefully here, so they couldn't help but give instructions to Xue Can behind him.

Xue Can responded, and immediately took the order to go down, leaving only Lu Bu and Deng Fei to watch from a height.

Chi Fang had just finished chatting with Lu Bu and came down to check the situation of the goods being transported. He was already on the ship at this time, talking with several stewards under him.

Lu Bu watched Xue Can board the boat, talked to Chi Fang, and saw that Chi Fang waved a few men to release the boat from the boat, and then rowed all the way to the flat boat.

I don't know what those people talked about, the small boat turned a corner and slowly walked out of the water.

Lu Bu squinted his eyes and looked at the distant ship, feeling that something might happen in the future.

　　PS:

　　The last chapter was swallowed again. It was told by a book friend in the group today. It was obviously useless when I posted it yesterday. As a result, I lost a tenth of it when I woke up after sleeping. The paragraph was dropped by K, so I had no choice but to rack my brains to rewrite it, but in order to avoid being swallowed, I could only make some changes, and it didn't look as good as before.In this regard, Xiao Ke wants to say, let us scold the client together~
