Chapter 58 Section 1 The difference between being a bandit and doing business

But Song Jiang killed Yan Poxi and was forced to flee to the end of the world. He thought in his heart: "It turns out that a woman who is a mistress not only has red lips, but also white teeth. When she kisses you passionately with her lips, it is very likely that her lips will suddenly turn red. I will bite you. Poor men and women all over the world, it is not dangerous to believe in some kind of love?" Thinking all the way, he went to Chai Daguan in Cangzhou, Hebei.He and Chai Jin are very friendly, and every day in the manor house, they wield guns and clubs and play chess. Half a year passed in a blink of an eye, but they no longer have the interest to go out to find flowers and ask willows.

Later, he went to the villa of the old man Kong in Baihu Mountain as a guest.Mrs. Kong has two sons, the eldest son is called "Maotouxing" Kong Ming, and the younger son is called "Duxingxing" Kong Liang. They both like guns and sticks, so they worshiped Song Jiang and called him Master.In this way, the cold came and went, and I lived for another half a year.Song Jiang thought to himself: "Borrowing at the master's house, one is a guest and the other is a slave. Those who are respected by others are also guests. Those who are driven by others are also slaves. A guest is a temporary guest, and a long-term stay is a humble guest. The humiliation of a lowly guest is twice that of being a slave." So he found another reason, bid farewell to Mrs. Kong, and came to Qingfeng Mountain.

Walking on the mountain road.In the winter in the mountain village, the night comes quickly, but after one watch, everything is dark.Song Jiang saw that he couldn't reach the village in front of him or the shop in the back, so he felt a little flustered, and hurriedly urged the horse to gallop, not wanting a tripping rope to suddenly appear and throw him to the ground.It turned out that some bandits who robbed the road came over and tied him up, and took him up the mountain. The bandits looked through Song Jiang's luggage and gained a lot.The bandit headed by him had red hair and yellow beard, a pair of bull's eyes, and was very vicious. He came over and took off Song Jiang's blindfold, and said, "I think you look good, and you look like a hero. Why don't you join us and create something together?" cause?"

Song Jiang sneered and said, "What kind of business do you want to create together? Do you want to be a rogue and a bandit? To make the world peaceful and bright, it doesn't matter if you don't want to work or farm. No matter what kind of business you do, it can be regarded as a serious career. Why do you want to be a rogue and a bandit?" ?” The red-haired man laughed loudly and said, "You speak lightly. Look at our brothers, which one is not from a business background? Who knows that starting a business is difficult, and I accidentally made a loss-making business, and that's why I ended up in the jungle. Keeping company with wild beasts. Besides, doing business to make profits from business, being a bandit to rob money on the way, the former is opportunistic, while the latter preys on the weak. In fact, they are playing with the laws of the jungle. In the end, there is not much difference. Why favor one over another?"

Song Jiang was choked immediately, so he had to raise his head and let out a long sigh. It turned out that the red-haired man, surnamed Yan and surnamed Shun, was from Laizhou, Shandong. He had a business of selling horses, cattle and sheep, and now he is roaring in the jungle, so he is called "Jin Maohu".There are two more leaders: one is "Dwarf Tiger" Wang Ying, who used to be the owner of a horse shop for logistics. He robbed and killed a customer just because he saw money, and was forced to abscond after the incident. The king of Qingfeng Mountain; one is Zheng Tianshou, the "white face gentleman", who used to run a silversmith's shop, but was chased and killed because of a fight with a street ruffian, and fled here.

At that moment, "Jin Maohu" Yanshun pulled out a sharp knife and gestured in front of Song Jiang: "I have always cherished talents. If you follow me, you will also join the group and become the leader. If you don't, I will goug out your Heart and liver, make a hangover soup to enjoy. There are also 108 ways to eat your human flesh. Those who know how to do business are thick-skinned, and those who know how to eat people are ruthless, believe it or not? It's like peeling a little fat sheep alive, you won't be allowed to hesitate at all." Song Jiang was still hesitating, Yanshun went down with a few knives, tearing his clothes one by one, revealing a naked upper body.He also asked Xiao Luo to bring a bucket of water, and poured it on Song Jiang's chest coolly.According to the Chinese saying, only when the hot blood is splashed with cold water can the heart and liver be crispy and delicious.Startled by the cold water, Song Jiang raised his head and shouted: "It's a pity that I, Song Jiang, have been conceited all my life, and I died here!"

Yanshun heard the word "Song Jiang", threw the bucket hastily, and asked, "You said you are Song Jiang? Where are you Song Jiang from?" Song Jiang replied, "I am Song Jiang from Yuncheng County, Jizhou." Yan Shun Surprised again, he snatched the sharp knife that was handed over to Xiao Luo, and cut the rope that bound Song Jiang twice.Then he took off his silk jacket and wrapped it around Song Jiang.Song Jiang didn't have time to react, Yanshun had already pushed him to sit on the tiger-skin chair in the middle. "Dwarf Tiger" Wang Ying and "White Faced Lord" Zheng Tianshou also came over, followed Yanshun, faced Song Jiang, bowed their heads.

Song Jiang hastily returned the gift, and asked, "Why didn't the three strong men kill Song Jiang, but did this great gift instead?" Yanshun replied: "Since the brothers are in the jungle, there is a law of the jungle. The so-called law of the jungle, I recognize the boss. The younger brother walks in the jungles of rivers and lakes. For more than ten years, I have heard that my elder brother is famous all over the world for donating money and helping the poor. I have admired the story for a long time. Now that I can see your face, you are our boss. You were so reckless just now, so please brother Haihan!"

Song Jiang stepped forward to help Yanshun, Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou up one by one.Once the brothers recognized each other, they added a lot of intimacy.Yanshun ordered the minions to prepare food and wine to appease Song Jiang.Since then, for seven or eight consecutive days, they have been entertained with good wine and good food, and they dare not be slighted. One day, Song Jiang, taking advantage of the heat of the wine, persuaded Yan Shun's ear: "The law of the jungle that my brother said is very reasonable. However, in today's world, being a bandit is a barbaric act, and it is comprehensively suppressed; Doing business is a commercial civilization, and it has become a global fashion. From this point of view, being a bandit will arouse the anger of the whole society; doing a good business, but can become a money-making hero sought after by people. Looking at the world trend, it is mighty , those who obey will prosper, and those who go against will perish, brother should be a hero who understands current affairs."

Yan Shun said: "My younger brother, why don't you not know the painstaking efforts of your elder brother? However, doing business requires many ingenuity. We are so stupid that it is rare to find the secrets." Song Jiang said: "Actually, it's not that difficult. I'll teach you when I have a chance in the future."
