Chapter 1291 Assassination Order of the Wild Rivers and Lakes
Inside the pass, Shayuan.
Water, Liangshan.
This is the holy land of the world.
Those who are in the world these days have to come to Shayuan to worship the mountain if they want to make a name for themselves.
He did not know Song Gongming, even if he was a hero, it would be in vain.
This is not a nonsense, it is the holy scriptures of the world.
However, today's rivers and lakes are no longer the grassy green forests of yesterday. They are close to Guangtong Canal and Wei River, and are between the east and west capitals. This sandy land of 80 miles east and west, 30 miles north and south is between the Luowei River and the Luowei River converges, and is now prosperous.
"Brother, Grandpa is coming."
Li Kui, known as the Black Tornado in the world, stepped into the Juyi Hall and bowed to Song Jiang, who was sitting on the top seat. Li Kui was five big black and thick, but he didn't call this name before, just like Song Jiang's brother didn't call Song Jiang but Song Fugui. Li Kui used to call Chen Ergou, and Li was not surnamed.
Of course, there are not many people in the world who know their real names now, and those who know them dare not call them this real name.
After all, whether it is Song Jiang or Li Kui, they are all big shots who call the wind and rain in the world.
Song Jiang was looking through the account book. As the leader of the Shuibo Liangshui, he now had a sense of power all over his body. He was not as sad as he was when he was in Shayuan and was blocking the path for the enemy.
“Where have you been?”
"Teacher Lin sent a message saying that he had left Luoyang."
Song Jiang put together the account book, stood up, "send a hero post to notify brothers from all over the country to do their duty of escorting."
Li Kui walked to Song Jiang and sat down, looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Grandpa has sent someone to hand in the next task."
"Oh, my grandfather hasn't given us a task for many years."
Back then, Song Jiang and a group of bandits were robbed in Shayuan. In the ninth year of Wude, they met Qin Lang. Not only did they not rob him but were captured by Qin Lang. Song Jiang was just a minion at that time, and was lucky and not killed. Instead, he was named Song Jiang and became an extra-staff member of the Fufu Department. The names of Shuipo and Liangshan were all given by Wei Gong.
After that, relying on the relationship of the Pacification Department, Song Jiang and others spent several years incorporating some famous green forest forces inside and outside the pass.
Then, Qin Lang gave advice, and did not let them continue to hang on the road, but asked them to start doing business in a whitewash.
In the past twenty years, under Qin Lang's personal guidance, Song Jiang and his friends built a logistics system that covered the Tang Dynasty. Arms were set up in various roads in the two capitals, horse gangs in the southwest, camel gangs outside the frontier, caisson gangs in the Jianghuai River, and boat gangs at sea.
To be honest, Song Jiang and his friends are very interesting. Under Qin Lang's behind the scenes, they have long become a franchise-like organization.
Generally speaking, the local wealthy and powerful people in various prefectures and counties absorbed them and used their influence in the local area, and then combined with the overall layout and network of Shayuan Waterpo in logistics, making this logistics network bigger and bigger.
However, although Song Jiang is known as the number one person in the world, in fact, Song Jiang, the leader of the huge logistics network, does not have much control over it.
Although there are hundreds of prefectures and counties, from the two capitals to the various roads, hundreds of prefectures and counties, their warehouses, docks, fleets, fleets, horse teams, and camel teams, it is only a franchise organization or even a commercial organization. In the official registration and filing, there is actually no such a huge logistics network, but registered under various escort agencies, fleets, fleets, horse teams, etc.
However, the role of this logistics network is also very huge. After the powerful people from all over the country joined in, they connected to the system, which brought about a rise in order of magnitude and a lot of money.
Although the powerful merchants who join in various places can obtain most of the profits, for designer Qin Lang, he is interested in the logistics system itself, which is the huge mobilization, organizational power and intelligence power that the logistics system can secretly exert.
Moreover, although the local franchise's powerful merchants seem to be big, when the countless outlets across the country add up, the income from Shayuan is very terrifying. What's more, with the advantages of this big network, some of the transactions that Shayuan operates are unattainable.
Logistics is difficult to do, and the harder it is in ancient times.
There is an old saying that the foot of the car and boat shop is that even if you are not guilty, it means that people in the ancient industries who worked as transportation agency hotels actually have many unspoken rules, which are quite dark, and they will do all kinds of evil deceptions. The quality of the entire industry is very low.
This situation is very common. Even in Qin Lang's era, around 2,000 years after he went to study in other places, it was that era, and long distances were all kinds of pitfalls. The train station was a gathering place for thieves and scammers. If you were accidentally cheated, robbed or stolen. Most of the small hotels next to the train store were black shops and were slaughtered when you went there.
Even a small shop next to the train station may have to kill you by making a phone call.
If you take a long-distance passenger bus, you will definitely be forced to eat high-priced food on the road, which is very unpalatable and even have bad luck. You will encounter a car bandit and Lu Bull on the way and rob you again.
The hotels in the stations and other places are very dark, not to mention that there are many thieves wandering around nearby, and some people even do fairy jumps.
In that era, going to a long journey was like going to the West to obtain scriptures, and it was a trivial matter. It was a trivial matter to be stolen. If you were unlucky, you were deceived into a black mine and black brick factory, or if a woman was abducted and trafficked into the mountains, it was not uncommon.
It is conceivable how difficult it would be to travel far in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago.
The logistics industry actually has more pitfalls.
However, since Zhenguan, the heavy industry and commerce have promoted trade, which has caused huge logistics demand. This is a huge emerging business. It is actually a very good idea to change to logistics and then bring together powerful people from all over the world to join.
If you don’t have some strength, you have to get some dust in your business like logistics. No matter how ordinary people do it, especially if you have to pass through the state and the county, you must have extremely strong strength.
Qin Lang spent twenty years building a huge logistics system.
Song Jiang, Li Kui and other Liangshan heroes have long stopped doing underground transactions such as selling private salt and horses, and have all been engaged in logistics.
Build horse teams, camel teams, fleets, docks, cargo warehouses, express delivery shops, inns, and hotels.
Logistics and transportation must be connected with warehousing, and it is also related to operating logistics and transportation warehousing and doing food and accommodation business. It is difficult for outsiders to resemble them. Although there are as many bamboo shoots as there are as many bamboo shoots in the world, such as residences, escorts, fleets, fleets, etc., and even inns, docks, etc., in fact, many of them are in this network.
There is a dark web that ordinary people cannot see, which connects these businesses together.
A moment later, Li Kui invited another leader in the company, but Sun Erniang.
This is also a famous female rich man in Guanzhong. It is said that his family is worth tens of millions of dollars and is the richest man in Qizhou.
The three of them entered the secret room.
"Since it is the task assigned by the grandfather, even if you try your best, you have to do it well." Sun Erniang took the initiative to express her opinion.
Song Jiang was very grateful, "We all had to live with Duke Wei and have what we are today. Although we are all rich now, we cannot forget our roots. Ernie, you have any good plans, this is a big deal, and we must do it without any miss."
Sun Erniang seemed to think of her past.
In fact, her real name is not Sun Erniang, and she is not even the first Sun Erniang in Shuibo Liangshan. There were three Sun Erniangs in Shuibo, and she was the fourth one.
But no matter how many Sun Erniang was, she was once a humble person and was grateful to Duke Wei for his life.
"From the news given by Mr. Wei, this matter is actually easy to handle."
"Don't be careless. The other party's identity is sensitive. There will definitely be a very detailed investigation afterwards. Any clues may be found. Although Sansi does not exist now, the people from Sansi are still there." Song Jiang reminded Sun Erniang that the first three Sun Erniangs in the Shuibo were all sacrificed for the sake of organization.
Nowadays, everyone has already become famous local tyrants, and no one wants to have another accident.
"I only have one request. I am a widow, but I have two daughters. I hope to send a daughter to my brother. If my mission fails, I will never regret it. But I hope that my brother can plead with Mr. Wei for me and ask Mr. Wei to agree to my youngest daughter to go to Luzon."
Song Jiang nodded.
“This is what it should be.”
"Then I have no worries, I'll leave."
Looking at Sun Erniang walking out, Song Jiang was a little stunned.
"Brother, have you fallen in love with Ernie?"
Song Jiang smiled.
Song Jiang is now very old, with many wives and concubines, and many children and grandchildren. Who knows the great official of Song?
"I'm thinking about this mission, no mistakes should be allowed."
"Brother, I'll go and help."
"No, the more people are, the more likely they will be to reveal flaws. Er Niang has been trained in the Funeral Department. I believe she has not forgotten her ability."
"Should you wait!"
"What if you miss it?"
"If you fail, you have to make sure that you won't get involved in the grandfather's head."
The gray-haired Song Fugui has always respected the grandfather of the Duke of Wei.
"I see!"
Li Kui said hesitantly, "I just don't quite understand why Grandpa wants to attack such a person."
"Don't think about things we shouldn't know."
Outside Tongguan.
Tongguan is known as the gateway to JD.com and is known as the world's number one pass.
Established on the Loess Plain of Linzhi Plain, this is a smooth and flat loess plateau. Parks like Guanzhong are everywhere, such as the Bailu Plain on Ba in the southeast of Chang'an, and the Sanyuan in Weibei, Chang'an is named because there are three plateaus in the county.
Linzhi originally extended from the Qinling Mountains and reached the Yellow River. There were deep ditches on both sides of the plateau, one forbidden ditch and the other for far-looking ditch. The two ditches were impacted by the water flow, causing the walls to be cut like a knife.
During the Han Dynasty, Tongguan was not actually on the plateau, but in the ditches.
Later, due to changes in water and soil, the pass was dangerous and changed. Therefore, the Sui Dynasty built Tongguan on the plateau. When it arrived in Zhenguan, the Han Tongguan City and the Sui Tongguan City were constantly washed away by rain, causing the natural danger to be gone.
The cut of the Yellow River also caused the original riverbed to be exposed, which made the original north of Linzhiyuan unable to pass between the Yellow River. At this time, a riverbed passage had been exposed, and the Guancheng on the plateau could no longer hold back the throat.
So during Zhenguan, Tongguan was moved from the original to the river beach, and built it on a low platform that was formed shortly after it was formed. The road through the old Tongguan was abandoned.
After passing Xintongguan directly along the river bank, you can enter Guanzhong directly.
However, for more than ten years, the forbidden ditches have been abandoned and have no paths.
In the dark night, several people appeared in this Forbidden Gully forest.
The person in charge is Sun Erniang.
