Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Although Zhao Kai didn't believe that he would be the one to die.
However, he still had to make preparations.
It wasn't that he was raising bandits to respect himself.
However, if this move of Liangshan was used well, it could play a huge role at the critical moment.
Pearls had not been cultivated in this era.
The reason was that the death rate of mussels was too high.
Basically, it could not be raised.
Coincidentally, Zhao Kai knew how to disinfect the mussel.
Liangshan Lake had a good water area and was a good place to raise pearls.
The price of pearls in this era was very high, and the nobles of various countries regarded pearls as beautiful.
According to the " Study of the Price of the Northern Song Dynasty ", the smallest pearl in Kaifeng was priced at 600 strings per catty. A single pearl with a diameter of more than one inch was worth 1000 strings.
Raising pearls was a huge profit.
Once Liangshan was on the right track, this place would become an important source of logistics for Zhao Kai.
"Liangshan Lake is a good place with good mountains and good water. Go back and manage it for me. I will go fishing when I have time.”
Chao Gai and Wu Yong bowed to the ground.”
"Let's go back."
Chao Gai and Wu Yong left the official residence, still feeling like they were dreaming.
They were here to save people.
He didn't expect that he would inexplicably become Yun King's subordinate.
"Mr. Jialiang, we're here to save Brother Song Jiang. I forgot to tell you."”
"What does Brother Heavenly King want to do?" Wu Yong asked.”
"We're all His Highness 'subordinates now. How about we go back and ask His Highness for mercy?" Chao Gai gritted his teeth.”
"Not really."
Wu Yong rejected him decisively." Brother, you're muddle-headed. We've just become His Highness 'subordinates. We haven't achieved anything yet. How can we be thick-skinned and make any more requests?”
"Then what about Brother Song Jiang?"
"Do what you have to do!" Wu Yong said in a deep voice," Your Highness represents the law of the country. If Song Gongming's crime is not worthy of death, we don't have to beg him. If Song Gongming really committed a capital crime, it's useless for us to beg him.”
"Sigh!"
"We've let Brother Gongming down." Chao Gai sighed.”
Wu Yong tried to persuade him," Brother Heavenly King, you can't say that. We came to save Song Gongming because of our loyalty. We don't owe Song Jiang anything. If we can save him, we will. If we can't save him, we can't just give up our brothers 'lives."”
"Furthermore, this time, we are favored by His Highness Yun Wang. How big of an opportunity is this?”
Wu Yong saw that Chao Gai still didn't understand and panicked.
"My good brother, do you think Yun Wang is an ordinary prince?" he said in a low voice. Have you ever seen a prince of Great Song who was conferred the title of Grand Marshal? Which prince could lead the Palace Marshal's Office, the Imperial City Department? Even the current Crown Prince did not have such a great honor!”
Chao Gai finally understood.
"You mean, in the future?”
"That's right. If Your Highness can ascend to the throne in the future, what will we be? We are the subjects of the dragon."
Chao Gai scratched his head and said uncertainly,"We are bandits who have been subdued by His Highness. How are we qualified to be called subjects of the dragon?”
Wu Yong sighed." Brother Heavenly King, don't look down on the soap and pearls. They can not only feed our Liangshan, but are also very important to His Highness."”
"What position we can occupy in front of wangye in the future depends on how much market we can occupy for wangye and how much money we can earn.”
"Brother Heavenly King, the business world is like a battlefield. The direction of our Liangshan's development has changed.”
Chao Gai finally understood.
He did not flinch at all. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit.
"Haha, it's just a business war. Who's there to be afraid of? If I don't have any experience, I'll hire an experienced old shopkeeper. For the sake of our brothers 'happy lives, I, Chao Gai, won't refuse.”
Wu Yong looked at Chao Gai with admiration.
Chao Gai might not be smart enough, nor would he scheme against others.
However, he was indeed a qualified leader.
He sent off Chao Gai and Wu Yong.
Wu Song and Lu Zhishen also left the room.
Even though there were other guards around Zhao Kai, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen still insisted on taking turns to guard him.
The two of them sat on the steps.
"Wu Er, why did you warn Chao Gai and Wu Yong just now?" Lu Zhishen asked.”
Wu Song was expressionless." They are useful to Your Highness. Subduing Liangshan will be of great use to Your Highness. If your brain is not enough, don't think about it."”
Lu Zhishen was furious." Wu Er, who are you calling brainless? Do you want to fight?"”
Wu Song glanced at him." If you want to fight, wait until we return to the capital. I'll accompany you to the end."”
Lu Zhishen snorted angrily like an angry bull.
Wu Song sighed and said," The Ma Army is getting more and more generals. Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, Qin Ming, and I heard that there's also the broadsword Guan Sheng and the double-whip Huyan Zhuo. They're all Ma Army generals."”
"There are only the two of us in the infantry army. We can't even snatch a warhorse, and you still have the mood to mess with me.”
Lu Zhishen scratched his head." What should we do then? We'll go and ask His Highness for him."”
Wu Song glanced at him.
"You'll be on duty for the first half of the night, and I'll be on duty for the second half.”
With that, he left.
Even after he left, Lu Zhishen was still frowning."Second Brother Wu is right. Our infantry only has two commanders. This is too few.”
Suddenly, he slapped his head and stood up.""How could I forget about him? If this guy joins the infantry, he will definitely defeat Second Brother Wu.”
