The hot spot heroes of the big rivers and lakes

Chapter 304

After completing Mu Wanqing's work, the Chulu people took Huang Rong, Mu Wanqing, and Yun Luo to Wuxi, not far north, and planned to cross Taihu Lake near Wuxi, enter Taihu Lake, and go to Mantuo Mountain Villa. .

In order to facilitate the action, when Chuluren retrieved the little red horse and Yunluo's white horse from Jiaxing Qunyuyuan, he suggested that Qunyuyuan start the horse sharing business by the way, and took the initiative to share two horses as the first batch of test users. good horse.

Zhou Botong didn't follow either. The Chulu people had urged him to go to Dali, but when he was in the inn in Jiaxing that night, Zhou Botong left a letter and "fleeed".

Going into the water from Wuxi is farther than starting from Gusu, but the Chulu people are not in a hurry...

Several dumb servants were ordered by Huang Rong to go around and look for snake catchers, and hired them to go to Peach Blossom Island.

After arriving in Wuxi with Huang Rong, Mu Wanqing, and Yun Luo, the Chulu people specially found a larger boat. Also spend the night on board.

"Don't go? Don't be afraid of the boatman. We are all friends of Mantuo Mountain Villa. We are very familiar with each other. The people in the mountain villa will not make things difficult for you." The Chulu people were not surprised by the boatman's attitude, so they spoke to appease and revealed themselves intentionally or unintentionally. with a sword.

Unexpectedly, the boatman still shook his head: "This gentleman... a hero, it is not only the problem of Mantuo Villa, you are also a hero in the rivers and lakes. Recently, water bandits in Taihu Lake have been disturbed. They are searching for something on the lake, except for ordinary fishermen, they don’t often set out in this area.”

"Taihu water bandits? Coincidentally, I know them very well!" Chulu people are not familiar with ordinary water bandits, but they are always very familiar with them.

When the boatman heard this, he didn't even want to leave the boat...

"Okay, okay, we just bought this boat. It is said that the bandits in Taihu Lake are very chivalrous and will not embarrass the ordinary boats passing by. Just send some people to pick us up, don't you worry about those water bandits robbing you?" Huang Rong said and took out a handful of bank notes.

Looking at the eyes of the boatman who is about to protrude, he knows that there should be a lot of premium.

This is not a small fund to rob the rich and help the poor, but the "family property" that Huang Rong brought with her when she left Peach Blossom Island. If she ran away from home before, then this time she left her hometown—the kind of departure without even leaving a well!
The boat owner looked at the money, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Success! We will sell this boat, but we have to send the money home first."

"Go and come back quickly," the Chulu people urged.

Yun Luo had never really traveled the rivers and lakes. Hearing this, he asked curiously with admiration: "Taihu water bandits are really so chivalrous? They only rob people who are rich and unkind, and officials are unfair? Is this the legendary righteous thief?"

In ancient times, Taihu Lake was much larger than in later generations, especially among the great rivers and lakes, it was much larger and it was an important waterway.

Huang Rong snickered and remained silent, while Mu Wanqing was slapped on the head by Yun Luo's innocence, and the person from Chulu explained: "Well, it's probably like this... But do you know how to distinguish between being rich and not being kind and being an official? ?”

Yun Luo thought for a while and guessed, "Visiting the common people?"

"The princess has a high awareness and knows that the eyes of the masses are discerning... But the water bandits in Taihu Lake are not so troublesome. It is very easy for them to identify the target. First of all, those notorious dog officials and evil businessmen must be among the targets. Good officials, benevolent businessmen spread far and wide must be respected." The Chulu people first agreed.

But Yun Luo heard the problem, and asked, "But most people should be somewhere in between?"

"That's right, for this group of people, basically they take the initiative to offer filial piety. They are benevolent businessmen and good officials. Those who dare to walk around Taihu Lake and don't report to the villages are not benevolent for the rich and unfair for the officials." Chulu people The wealth code of the water bandits in Taihu Lake was revealed.

Yun Luo: ...

Yun Luo pursed his lips for a while, and remained silent for a while, probably because he was somewhat disillusioned with the so-called "righteous thief".

The Chulu people explained one more sentence: "It is not wrong to say that they are righteous thieves. It is true that since Guiyuanzhuang integrated the Taihu Water Bandit Alliance, a lot of rules have been set. Keep an eye on it, and if you don’t encounter a hard problem, you will make money and not kill your life... Most importantly, didn’t the boatman say just now that ordinary fishermen go out of the boat normally.”

"Then who did ordinary officials and businessmen provoke?" Yun Luo was a little unconvinced.

"How can there be any ordinary... Let's talk about the Great Song Dynasty, as long as the local officials with some real power above the seventh rank, no matter what the official voice is, they don't count the imperial salary, nor are they considered corrupt and perverting the law. The amount of carbon and ice that is "reasonably received" every year is thousands of times that of the water bandits in the entire Taihu Lake.

Those who can avoid this "vulgarity" are either no longer in the officialdom, or they are truly noble and arrogant and have a good reputation.If you ask me to talk about the rules of the Taihu water bandits, there is actually some truth in the rules. "Chu Luren's words hit Yun Luo even more.

Yun Luo's eyes widened and he said, "Are they so rich? My emperor... brother is usually very frugal."

"Your brother wants to set an example. Even he is extravagant, so there is no salvation... In Lin'an, except for the size of the residence, the height of the house, and the number of sedan chairs that can be seen, those high-ranking officials dare not surpass your brother. There are many people who are better than your brother." The people of Chulu knew this long ago.

"But those merchants... many of them didn't break the law, right? The innocent were robbed here, how can it be regarded as the work of righteous thieves!" Yun Luo still had a sense of justice, and even complained.

In fact, before the Chulu people half-robbed Tao Sheng's house, Yun Luo felt a little guilty.

"Never mind breaking the law or not, the problem is that these wealthy businessmen and gentry, who are 'reasonable and legal', own thousands of hectares of land and have a cloud of slaves... How come the common people deserve to be 'reasonably and legally' exploited and destroyed. As soon as the new year comes, you can sell your land, or you can sell your body if you don’t have any land?" People in Chulu don’t follow this, and there are no innocent feudal landlords.

"You mean... it's a problem with the 'Laws of the Great Song Dynasty'?" Yun Luo's tone was puzzled and tangled, as if the Three Views were shuffling the cards.

But the Chulu people shook their heads and said: "Not necessarily, maybe it will be changed, and Da Song will be gone tomorrow? It's not a problem if you think about it... don't think so much."

In case Yun Luo goes back, she will tell her emperor brother these things, fearing that the emperor will never dare to let his sister go out again, and this is not something that she, the princess, can change.

And this is indeed not a problem of the Song Dynasty. How many feudal dynasties have been changed, and Monkey King has gone to a monkey.

As for the end of the feudal era?I'm sorry, when the Chulu people crossed, they didn't bring a hard drive like the hard-bodied Bai Tu in "Cheng Ji San Guo".

Therefore, Chulu people have focused on the world from the very beginning, and never thought about being an official or a businessman. It is just the truth that "people" must recognize, and I can't recognize it even more.

After talking here for a while, the boatman also brought back the two sons of his helper, supported the boat that was already Huang Rong in name, and carried four people from Chulu on the road...
