In Heifeng Village, there is no Gathering Hall, only one Chamber Hall.

There were nine chairs in the hall, and the bandits in the Song Dynasty did not call him the head of the family, just like the ranking of brothers in the family, such as the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother.

The eldest brother is the leader of the village, named Yang Jun.

His family was a tea garden owner, but because they offended the "tea farmer" (the official agent after tea ban), they were forced to lose their fortunes. The father and his family fled into the mountains. The tenants in their family were also overwhelmed and went to join them one after another.

Later, he simply became a bandit, went out to the mountains to kill the landlords, distributed the land to the villagers, and snatched the goods and hid back into the mountains.

The government came to suppress the enemy several times, but failed, so they could only vent their anger on the farmers by the river.

In the end, the farmers were forced to rebel and all went into the mountains to defect to the bandits.

The Yang family was very popular, built walls on steep mountains, distributed the surrounding land to farmers to cultivate, and at the same time occupied the most fertile land. Gradually, Yang Jun was the bandit leader and the big landlord, and also played the official in the city to collect taxes from farmers.

The village is too dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

All the magistrates who served as magistrates did not see them, and they agreed to the existence of the bandit village.

The envoy sent by Bai Zongmin was Huang Chunhe, and he looked helpless: "This year, the county has a bumper tea harvest, and the tea and horse stewardship has been greatly reduced. If the private tea is not lowered, merchants will go to buy official tea, and there is no way for the young man to do it."

The bandit leader who sat in the third seat was named Yang Ying. He is the younger brother of the village leader and is responsible for foreign trade.

Yang Ying sneered: "I really think I'm a fool? The Tea Horses and Tea Merchants are in the same group. They won't be able to lower the price in the past year, so don't use this to fool me!"

Although Yao Fang was a foreign seeker, he took the second seat, specializing in training guns and rods, and took the lead in charge when he went down the mountain to rob. He shouted angrily: "If you keep the price down like this, I will order all my troops tomorrow to flatten Xiabai Village, and catch Bai Zongmin to kowtow to my elder brother and admit my mistake!"

Of course this is just a threat and will not easily break up.

The Zhu Zhu clerk in the county and some businessmen in the county are all partners of Xiaobai Junwai. The tea produced in the copycat and the stolen goods stolen by the bandits all need the help of Xiaobai Junwai to ship the goods.

"There are more than one person in the county who sells tea privately. The tea harvest is booming, and all the private teas in each village are lowering prices. I can't help but not lower the prices here," Huang Chunhe explained the reason, and said softly, "Then I will take a step back. First-class tea is 80 yuan per catty, second-class tea is 53 yuan per catty, and third-class tea is 40 yuan per catty. How about it?"

If the tea interest is not included, this price is slightly higher than the official purchase price. And you don’t have to send it to the teahouse far away, and you can save a lot of transportation costs back and forth.

Yang Ying was quite satisfied with this and nodded secretly to his elder brother.

"Then let's make up," Yang Jun, the leader of the village who had not spoken, finally smiled and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Huang is busy and busy. Don't leave tonight. Stay in the village for wine!"

"Thank you, Brother Yang, for your hospitality." Huang Chunhe bowed.

...

Zhang Guangdao, who ranked fifth, drank a little drunk in the evening and found Yao Fang privately: "Second brother, Bai Zongmin is becoming more and more difficult to serve. He simply rushed into Xiabai Village first, robbed his wealth, and then raised his troops to attack the county town!"

Yao Fang shook his head helplessly: "Although I am the second-hand man, I have to ask the village leader to come. He is afraid that he will really rebel. If he fails, he will not even be able to sell tea in the future."

Zhang Guangdao said dissatisfiedly: "The person surnamed Yang is a local rich man, so how can he be like a bandit? He can share the most money for selling tea. The farmers in the mountains share the most. With these two things, he can earn enough, so he doesn't even want to go down the mountain to rob. According to me, one day, he might have to join the government as a submissive people and become a landlord like Lao Bai!"

"Oh, I can't do anything," Yao Fang sighed.

Zhang Guangdao suggested: "Just take our people and find another place to settle in a village."

Yao Fang asked back: "Everyone finally settled down, how many people are willing to follow you? Even if they can really take people away, where can they settle down? Although there are many wastelands downstream, they still have to be reclaimed. In just a few years, they don't even have enough food."

"It's just a few years of hard work, it's better than staying in Heifeng Village!" said Zhang Guangdao.

"Let me think about it again."

Yao Fang was unsure of his mind. He was the leader of the foreign faction and thought more about it, so naturally he was not as free and easy as Zhang Guangdao.

Moreover, the rebellion a few years ago has eroded Yao Fang's aura and has also become more calm.

In Yao's opinion, even if he really wants to rebel, he has to wait for the opportunity.

Only when the government imposes heavy taxes and makes the people live in poverty can the rebellion be rebelled and may even gain the support of the landlords.

Rebellion will inevitably fail and you are not worthy of recruiting you!

After a few more words of comfort, Yao Fang personally sent Zhang Guangdao out.

At the same time, a secret discussion was also taking place at the home of the village leader Yang Jun.

When Huang Chunhe explained his true intention, Yang Jun was furious: "What a brave man, he came to provoke me. Do you really think I dare not use swords and guns?"

Huang Chunhe said calmly: "Yao Fang has been a traitor and is very good at raising a gun. Who doesn't call him a hero when he sees him? He has only been in Heifeng Village for a few years and his prestige is getting higher and higher. Even if you are the leader of the Yang Village, you have to let him sit in the second seat and let your brothers take the third seat. He is also generous. Everyone in the village admires him, and more and more people hear him give orders. In the long run, can Brother Yang, the position of the leader of the village, really sit down again?"

Yang Jun still looked angry: "Don't talk much about this. Brother Yao is very good, even more close to that brother. Brother Yao is loyal. If he is not loyal, Zhu Er will be the chief clerk!"

"How much money can loyalty be worth?" Huang Chunhe said, "Brother Yang, people's hearts will change. Now, who can tell who is loyal? Ten years later, even if Yao Fang does not want to be the leader of the village, his brothers will help him become the leader of the village. Who is more popular with the people? Brother Yang himself knows it."

Yang Jun still refused: "You go, I just pretend I didn't hear what I said tonight."

Huang Chunhe neither left nor spoke anymore, but just stood there silently.

After a long time, Yang Jun looked embarrassed, as if he was talking to himself: "It's all his brothers. If you make us angry, do you want my face?"

Huang Chunhe understood that there was a chance, so he did not answer positively, but asked: "Brother Yang, you are indeed majestic as the leader of the village. But no matter how powerful you are, you can compare with Xiaobai Junwai? But can you compare with Laobai Junwai?"

Yang Jun said: "It's impossible to compare."

Huang Chunhe continued to ask: "Brother Yang has also made a lot of money, but what can this happen? He went to the county town and didn't dare to make a statement. You have two sons, so how dare you go to the county town to study? The government will not come to suppress you now, what if you change to a magistrate? You must know that Zhu Zhu is a rebel before. If he receives the magistrate's order, he will really dare to lead troops to attack Heifengzhai!"

Yang Jun sneered: "If he dares to come, I will tell him not to go back!"

Huang Chunhe said, "I am the chief clerk now. If you dare to kill the official, it is considered a rebellion if you don't rebel. Can you stop the officers and soldiers once or twice, but can you stop ten or twenty times?"

Yang Jun said stubbornly: "Don't say ten or twenty chapters, Heifeng Village has strong soldiers and horses, which annoyed me. He went straight to the county government and killed all the bird officials in the county!"

Huang Chunhe asked, "I killed all the county officials and the state officials. I killed all the state officials. There are other county officials on this Lizhou Road. Is it occupied the entire Lizhou Road. Can you stop the imperial army?"

Yang Jun was silent.

Huang Chunhe also said: "You know that Yao Fang, the second-hand man in the village, has a grudge against Zhu Zhu, the county's chief clerk. Old Bai from Shangbai Village, Xiang County Magistrate and Zhu Zhu, also dislike it."

"This is nothing to do with me." Yang Jun said.

Huang Chunhe was still talking: "You kill Yao Fang first, not only to do things for Zhu Zhu, but also to get benefits. Eliminate the major troubles of your heart, and you will be able to say something different in the village in the future. Then go to rob Shangbai Village, not only can you grab countless wealth, but you can also please Xiang County and Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu. The two officials can transform from bandits into gentry in just one sentence."

Yang Jun was silent again.

Huang Chunhe said again: "If you become a gentry, you will be able to go to the county town in the future, and your son can also study in the county town. After a long time, after decades, who remembers that you have been a bandit? Maybe your grandson can still be an imperial examination and become an official!"

Every sentence of these words is full of temptation, and it all comes to Yang Jun's heart.

"Let me think about it again." Yang Jun was already moved.

Seeing his appearance, Huang Chunhe couldn't help but smile and bowed and said, "I'll take it back."

After sending this person away, Yang Jun returned to the bedroom, and his wife came to help him with loose clothes.

"Don't bother me!" Yang Jun pushed his wife away.

He is also a little loyal, and he does have a good relationship with Yao Fang. The two have known each other for more than twenty years.

Yao Fang was even chased by the government and planned to hide in Heifeng Village for a few months. After the wind was over, he would take his men away. At that time, Yang Jun took the initiative to keep him and directly asked Yao Fang to sit in the third seat.

The subsequent development made Yang Jun feel deeply uneasy.

In just a few years, Yao Fang's prestige has risen steadily, winning the heartfelt admiration of countless bandits.

As a last resort, Yang Jun had to re-rank the seats and let his brothers become the third leader, promoted Yao Fang to the second leader, and appointed Zhang Guangdao to the fifth leader.

If this continues, he really can't help it!

Yao Fang's personal charm is too strong. Even Yang Jun himself admires and likes it very much, not to mention other bandits.

Also, his younger brother Yang Ying has a very bad relationship with Yao Fang due to his reduced seats.

Sooner or later there will be problems.

Lying in bed all night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. When he woke up the next day, Yang Jun's eyes were filled with blood.

He sat for a long time, and finally made up his mind and called his younger brother, "I have something to plan with you."
