Chapter 149 Twelve thousand taels of silver

After this incident, the entire village was temporarily stable, and the leaders also performed their own duties and did their own things. As for the conflict between Du Jia and Song Jiang, it was only limited to the two of them, and outsiders could not see it at all.

In a blink of an eye, a few months passed. It was Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and the mountain village was filled with a joyful atmosphere, with everyone smiling.

Jiang Jing and the others reported to the general village and said that they wanted to arrange a three-day event so that everyone could have a happy time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. They hoped that several generals would approve it.

Song Jiang naturally would not miss this opportunity to please the whole mountain, and said happily: "Brother Jiang Jing said very well. The brothers in the whole mountain have worked hard for these days. It is time to have fun. Xiao Ke has been ready for a long time.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, we have a three-day banquet, so that all brothers can eat their stomachs. In addition, each of them will double the dividends this month. The big boss will cost five taels of silver, and the small boss will have three taels of money. What do you think? Hahaha."

The soldiers present heard this and were thunderous and shouted that Brother Song was wise. You should know that there are more than 5,000 people on Liangshan now, and the monthly food, clothing, chewing and wrapping is not a small amount. It is not enough to rely on the mountain to produce on their own.

So now, the whole mountain only has wine and meat on the 15th day of the lunar month, and it is divided into two taels on everyone's head. It's just a tooth-beating sacrifice to satisfy your cravings. At least the big boss needs to eat enough.

As for the meal, if you want to have wine and meat, only these forty people receive the treatment. Moreover, this is not provided for free, and you have to buy it with the "dividend" yourself.

To be honest, Du Jia didn't know about this at first. He always thought that all the heroes were eating large pieces of meat and drinking big bowls every day. Later, after hearing Shi Qian talked once, I realized that he was too simple, which was quite a bit like Emperor Hui of Jin's "no meat minced".

Of course, this cannot be completely blamed by Du Jia. This is because he was influenced by the original reading of Water Margin. He was always good at going in and out. Secondly, he was a young owner and his only son, so his treatment was naturally extraordinary. Thirdly, he had made many good men in the world. Most of these men were people who wanted face. Even if they only had their own money left in their pockets, they had to take it out to buy wine and meat to eat and eat, which gave him the illusion that everyone was very rich. o

In fact, the economic development of the Song Dynasty in this era was quite good. Both material and spiritual civilization reached unprecedented heights, but the gap between the rich and the poor was too large. It was a bit too large to say that the principle of 28 was a bit insufficient. It should be basically described as 19. Less than 10% of the people in the country occupied more than 90% of the wealth, which led to the death of luxury and the death of poverty.

Most people on Liangshan belong to the latter, so many of them are forced to go up the mountain without any guarantee of three meals a day. Now it’s thankful that they can eat and wear enough. How can they have extra ideas?

So everyone was so cheerful when they heard Song Jiang's words. Only the new leader joined the party and celebrated the New Year on the mountain to have such free entertainment activities. Unexpectedly, it will be held this Mid-Autumn Festival this year, so they are naturally grateful to Song Jiang.

Du Jia smiled slightly and didn't care. If he couldn't even seize such an opportunity to win over people, it wouldn't be the traitor of Song. After all these days, he and Song Jiang have formed a certain tacit understanding. They both went on their own in their respective fields and did not interfere with each other.

However, Jiang Jing, who was below, was sweating coldly when he heard this. He immediately said, "Brother Song, if you say you may have at least 12,000 taels of silver. This is not to mention that many ingredients are required to be provided by us on the mountain. There is probably not so much surplus in the warehouse now."

Song Jiang frowned and said, "How could this happen? Brothers have worked so hard these days and have achieved many achievements. It is also the Mid-Autumn Festival. Shouldn't we celebrate it?"

Jiang Jing said in a panic: "Brother Song has good intentions and all the brothers in the mountains know, but I am really a good wife and I can't cook without rice. I hope Brother Song will forgive me."

Many people below were so embarrassed that they looked bad when they heard that things were going to be yellow. That's how people were. It would be fine if they knew they didn't have it, but if they lost it, they would curse themselves.

Song Jiang sighed and walked to Du Jia and said, "Young Master Jia, it's all my fault for Xiao Ke's nonsense, but I really do it for the good of all my brothers. You and I have a good wine and good food every day, but many of the brothers below don't see any meat and fish all day long. This training is so hard, I really can't bear it.

Otherwise, what if Xiaoke took out a thousand taels of silver himself, can he bother Mr. Jia to take his people down the mountain to raise the rest? Thinking of his brotherly loyalty, I hope Mr. Jia will refuse."

Chao Gai didn't understand the situation, and he really thought that Song Jiang was saying the truth, so he came over to persuade him: "Young Master Jia, Brother Song said so much. It's up to you to be able to work harder. Whether brothers can have a happy holiday this time depends on you."

Du Jia knew at this moment that this old traitor was playing this, pretending to be polite to everyone but letting himself be busy. It must be noted that this is more than 10,000 yuan, but not more than 1,000 taels of silver. How can it be so easy to raise?

The rich and wealthy families within a hundred miles of Liangshan have already gone to "borrow grain" these days. Those people cooperated and they all paid it on time. Now, if they go, they will seem to be backfiring and have no faith.

And even if you succeed, it is the credit of this old traitor. If you fail, many people will resent themselves. This is a completely laborious and thankless act. This guy is really a scheming person.

But at this moment, Du Jia had no other choice. As long as hesitated, this guy would definitely put down a big hat and say that he was not loyal. So he immediately smiled and said, "What are the words of the two elder brothers? This is my own duty. How can I start with my hard work? And how can I let Brother Song ruin money? Isn't it just 12,000 taels of silver? It's just for me to put it on my back. Let the logistics brothers be ready, keep it and let the whole mountain have a happy holiday!"

The audience shouted loudly, praising the three generals. Song Jiang sighed in his heart that Du Jia is worthy of Du Jia, and he made a decision at the critical moment, but this was also under his consideration. He immediately smiled and said:

"It's true that Young Master Jia, Duan is very loyal, but this festival is about to be seen, and there is only half a month to prepare at most. Young Master Jia, you probably have to hurry up."

Du Jia knew very well that this was clearly a play arranged by the old traitor, Jiang Jing, and the purpose was to make things difficult for him. Otherwise, what would you do? It would be fine in the past few months.

But he was confident and said calmly: "Brother Song and brothers, please rest assured. For everyone's welfare, I will definitely overcome any difficulties."

Due to the terrible results of this book, the editor has been sentenced to death. My friend also advised me to abandon the pit and reopen it, but I am really unwilling to accept it. This book may have many flaws, but it has devoted my countless efforts. There are still many Hongda scenes that have not been unfolded, and many heroes and beauties have not appeared. I want to persist again. Can all the heroes help me? Those who have votes vote for one or two, and those who have no votes will help comment and promote it. I am grateful to you here.
