Reborn Wu Dalang

"Wu Yong, do you still hate me?" Sitting on the boat, Wu Dong asked.

"Don't dare." Wu Yong said hastily.

"Oh, don't you dare? So you still have hatred, but you don't dare to explode?" Wu Dong said.

"No, no, Wu Yong doesn't have the slightest hatred for the chief." Wu Yong felt that his head was sweating.

After finally getting out of "re-education through labor", he finally relaxed, but he never wanted to go back to that place.You must know that he is a literati. Even though the "reform through labor" is much easier than the lifelong labor of this era, with food and drink every day, but working from dawn to dusk, especially in winter, even if it snows, you have to go out to open the fields. It was a great torture for him.

In the past few months, he had had enough, so he never dared to offend Wu Dong again.

"You will be my staff from now on. If you perform well, I will not forget your contribution." Wu Dong said.

"Yes!" Wu Yong suddenly felt that his future was bright.

For Wu Dong, Wu Yong is a smart person after all, and he is the only literati available around him, so even if this person's quality is a bit problematic, he still has to use it.Besides, Wu Yong's family members are all on Mount Liang, so he is not afraid that something will happen to him again.

The boat traveled very fast, and soon it reached the shore, and everyone went ashore one after another, heading east.

The 200 soldiers have all been dressed up as ordinary people at this moment, some go ahead, some follow Wu Dong and the others, and some will leave later.Everyone took different routes, but they all had the same goal - Dengzhou.

"Brother, what are we going to do there?" Hua Rong was the person Wu Dong decided to take with him temporarily, so he didn't know much about it yet.

"Of course it's going to sea." Wu Dong said.

"Going to sea? What are you doing going to sea?" Hua Rong was surprised.

"Go to sea to earn wealth! Maritime trade contains great wealth, which can make me never lack gold and silver in Liangshanbo! Also, besides wealth, there are also a lot of land overseas." Wu Dong said.

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi are more interested in going to the sea. They are heroes in the water. They grew up by the water since they were young. Unfortunately, they have never been to the sea. They couldn't help feeling excited at the moment.

"I heard that the sea is truly vast and boundless. It is much larger than our Liangshan Lake. I don't know if it is true or not?" Ruan Xiaoqi asked excitedly.

"Of course it's true. Compared to the sea, our Liangshan Lake is just a small mud pit! The fish in the sea are much bigger than those in Liangshan, and the biggest ones are hundreds of feet long! The waves in the sea are also bigger than those in Liangshan. The waves are much bigger, like a small mountain, like a small boat on Liangshan, if it goes into the sea, it will be overturned at once. You two are the leaders of the water army, I wonder if you can adapt there?" Wu Dong said .

"It's definitely not a problem." Ruan Xiaoqi said, and Ruan Xiaowu nodded accordingly.

Everyone laughed and looked forward to the road ahead.

In a few days, they first arrived in Qingzhou, stopped here for a while, then went to Laizhou and Dengzhou.

They stayed in Cao Zheng's hotels along the way, and now there are hundreds of Cao Zheng's hotels, all over Shandong.In addition to the small shops at the intersection, there are many big hotels in the bustling area of ​​the state capital, otherwise check the news from all parties.

Living in Cao Zheng's hotel, he was naturally not afraid of being visited by the government, it was very safe.

In Dengzhou in March, the spring is already warm and the flowers are blooming, and the sea breeze is constantly blowing, which is extremely pleasant.

They wandered around the streets of Dengzhou, and had already walked a few streets, only to see shops everywhere, but they were all businessmen, extremely prosperous.

"How many shops should there be here? How many merchants should come and go here every day?" Hua Rong said.

"It would be great if we can control this Dengzhou Prefecture." Wu Yong secretly said.

At this time, there was a sudden noise from the front, and a dozen officials were seen coming in this direction.

Seeing these officials, the faces of countless shop owners changed, and some even wanted to close their shops and flee here.

"What's going on here? What are these officials here for?" Wu Dong and the others were in a shop at the moment, Wu Dong said.

"Collect taxes." The owner of the shop had a grim look on his face.

"Since it's tax collection, just give it to them." Wu Dong said.

"Guest officer, you don't understand! More than half of a month's income was given to them, and they are still not satisfied, so they came again today! It seems that this business can't continue!" the boss said.

"How could there be so many taxes in the Great Song Dynasty?" Wu Dong said.

As far as Wu Dong knows, the Great Song Dynasty still protected industry and commerce, and the taxes on industry and commerce were not very high, generally only [-] to [-]%, but why did they collect so much tax here?

"Hey, it's not Liangshanbo's fault! The government said it was going to encircle Liangshanbo. There is no military pay, so merchants have to pay taxes." The boss said with a sad face.

The faces of Wu Dong, Hua Rong and others also changed. Wu Dong felt that Liang Shanbo was shot while lying down!Originally, Liangshanbo was far away from this Dengzhou government, and there was no contact at all. Because of Liangshanbo, the government here had to collect a lot of taxes, and the merchants blamed Liangshanbo.

"Grandma's." Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help cursing.

At this time, those officials had already arrived at the shop, and the leading officials ignored Wu Dong and the others, but grabbed the shop owner by the collar and said viciously, "Pay the taxes quickly!"

The boss had no choice but to take out 10 taels of silver and said, "That's all, it's really gone."

The officer was furious and said, "Why is it only 10 taels? At least 30 taels?"

The boss was about to cry, and said: "There really isn't any, if there is, I will give it all to you, the boss."

The officer gave an order and said, "Search for me! If you don't have money, smash everything here!"

At the moment, the officials rummaged through the shops, but in the end they did not find any silver. They only heard the sound of "bang bang bang", countless goods were smashed into pieces, and the boss sat on the ground blankly, with a dull expression on his face.

Hua Rong, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi and others were angry, but Wu Dong signaled them not to do anything.Now leave the shop.

"If it wasn't for the big boss, those officials would have been killed!" Ruan Xiaowu said.

"This is Dengzhou Prefecture, not Liangshan. If we kill them, we can only enjoy ourselves for a while, but we can't go to sea to do things." Wu Dong said.

"The government of the Great Song Dynasty is really irritating... a group of corrupt officials, they really deserve to die." Hua Rong said.

"Wu Yong, tell me, is there a way for us to quietly control Dengzhou Prefecture and let Dengzhou Prefecture belong to Liangshanbo...but not the Jingdong court?" Wu Dong suddenly looked at Wu Yong and asked.

"This...I'm afraid...it's difficult..." Wu Yong's forehead was sweating, he didn't expect that it was so difficult for Wu Dong to ask him a question for the first time.

"We will take it with you in Dengzhou for a while to understand the situation here...you can slowly figure out a way." Wu Dong said.

Wu Yong had no choice but to agree, and began to think hard.

******

At this time, Cao Zheng had already arrived at Dengzhou Prefecture.

He is second only to Zhu Gui's intelligence leader, and he knows everything about the situation in Shandong Province, so Wu Dong had already informed him to come.

They met in a hotel in Dengzhou, and Cao Zheng immediately reported the situation in Dengzhou.

"The number of people in Dengzhou Prefecture is small, but the number of merchants is extremely large. People from Bianliang, Hangzhou, Northwest, Southwest, and even Xixia, Tubo, Liao, and Jin are here. As for the Koreans and Dongying There are countless people." Cao Zhengdao.

"Would the government not care if the people from Xixia, Tubo, Liao, and Jin came here?" Huarong asked curiously.

"How dare the government control them? These people are rampant in Dengzhou Prefecture, and Dengzhou Prefecture still protects their interests everywhere. The rest of the businessmen dare not speak out." Cao Zhengdao.

"There is such a thing." When Wu Dong passed by Dengzhou last time, he came here in a hurry, so he only saw some Koreans and Dongying people. They were more respectful to the Han people. He didn't see these Liao people. Gold people or something.

"The magistrate of Dengzhou is called Tong Xiang, and he is Tong Guan's nephew. He is domineering in Dengzhou Prefecture and does all kinds of evil. There are more than 100 tolerances in Dengzhou Prefecture, and there are more than 300 sailors. In fact, the number of sailors should be 3000. , but they were all eaten by Tong Xiang." Cao Zhengdao.

"It turned out to be Tong Guan's nephew." Wu Dong nodded slightly.

Tong Guan was an eunuch, but he was in charge of the Privy Council. He was Huizong's confidant and controlled the monarchy in the Northwest. He was the eunuch with the greatest military power and the highest title in history.

His status in the court is second only to Cai Jing, even Gao Qiu is not as good as Tong Guan.And because he is an eunuch and has no son, this nephew is just like his son.He loved him so much that he sent his nephew to Dengzhou to make a fortune.

"This Tong Xiang may not look like Tong Guan's nephew, but he is actually a strict wife, and he is terrified of his wife. He has a lover outside, and he dare not bring him home. He just goes to the lover's house a few times a month. .” Cao Zheng said.

"Oh? Where does his girlfriend live?" Wu Dong asked.

"It's in Chaoyang Lane not far away." Cao Zheng said.

"Yes!" Wu Yong suddenly shouted.
