Liu Qi quickly came out of the rice field, and then while washing his feet at the edge of the field, he said to Ma Kuo: "I wanted to pick you up in person, but unfortunately I have a task on my body, so you Haihan." ”

Ma Kuo came to Liu Qi and squatted down, and said, "I was surprised that your Uncle Liu Xin actually planted rice himself. ”

Liu Qi smiled and said: "What is this, most of the governors of my family have personally worked in the fields for more than ten days." ”

Ma Kuo was even more surprised, he never expected that Li Yan would personally go to the field to do farm work!

At the same time, Ma Kuo's heart was still tightened - from Liu Qi's tone, he heard Liu Qi's respect and affection for Li Yan, and then thought: "I'm afraid my task this time is difficult to complete." ”

Although he thought so, Ma Kuo asked in his mouth, "Are you Juntun?" ”

Liu Qi said: "Part of it, but more of it is farming for the people. ”

There was no need for Ma Kuo to ask, Liu Qi then explained: "Some time ago, didn't we fight with the Liao, Western Xia, and Mongolian coalition forces, Zhao Xianggong dispatched a lot of people to transport heavy materials, unfortunately, it was just in time for the rice planting period, and as a result, because of the lack of manpower, some time was delayed, so the governor of my family ordered, except for the soldiers on duty, the whole army from him to the field to help the people regain this time." ”

In fact, the reason why there is not enough manpower is not all because Zhao Ding transferred a lot of people during the rice planting period, but also because Li Yan divided the land so that the people of Yundi, regardless of men, women and children, each got a lot of good land (rented to the people, the lease period is five years, and the rent is zero), and large households with large populations can even get 200 or even 300 mu of fertile land, because there are too many fertile land, so they can't grow it.

Ma Kuoxin said: "Winning the hearts of the people like this, it seems that Li Yan doesn't plan to leave here...... It is rumored that Li Yan wants to rebel, which seems to be true. ”

On the way back, the group passed by a tributary of the Sanggan River.

Ma Kuo saw many soldiers walking out of the river in a neat line, and asked Liu Qi, "Who are they?" ”

Liu Qi said: "They are here to clean up the river. ”

Ma Kuo's deputy, Wang Yi, said: "Your Liangshan Army is really interesting, farming, digging rivers, being both a soldier and a people's husband. ”

Liu Qi said disapprovingly: "Our Liangshan soldiers don't talk about conditions, everyone is a brick, where to use it, where to move, most of my family governors will do whatever they want." ”

Ma Kuo is not Wang Yi who does not know soldiers, he knows that such an army is the most feared, because they are absolutely obedient from top to bottom, and the orders are unified, and those arrogant soldiers in the Song army will be defeated when they encounter them.

Ma Kuo finally knew why the Liangshan army could annihilate the same number of horse troops with the infantry army.

Ma Kuo was deeply jealous: "This army that has not been established for a long time is definitely a first-class strong army in the world, I should remind Xuan Xiang to be careful and be careful!" ”

When they were about to arrive at Huanzhou City, the group passed by a market-like place again.

Ma Kuo saw that many people lined up there, and their queues were thousands of miles long, looking at no less than 10,000 people.

Ma Kuo asked Liu Qi: "What kind of place is this?" What are they doing? ”

Liu Qi said: "This is the cattle and horse market, and they are queuing up to buy cattle. ”

Ma Kuo was puzzled: "Cattle and horse market? Queuing up to buy cattle? ”

Liu Qi explained: "We have captured hundreds of thousands of military ration cattle from the coalition army, and most of the governors said that it was a pity to eat these cattle as military rations, so he ordered that they be sold to the people for one yuan. ”

Ma Kuo knew about the derivative coins issued by Shuibo Liangshan, and he also deliberately studied the derivative coins.

After research, Ma Kuo found that the derivative coins issued by Shuibo Liangshan were far more clever than the money of their Great Song Dynasty, especially the derivative coins were based on gold and silver, which ensured that the value of the derivative coins would not easily fluctuate.

However, through research, Ma Kuo also found the weakness of the derivative coin, that is, it can only be issued in a small area, and it is impossible to issue it in a large country like the Great Song Dynasty, because there is not so much gold and silver at all - not only Li Yan cannot get so much gold and silver, but even if the entire Great Song Dynasty, including the Liao State and the Jin Kingdom, all the gold and silver owned by the Great Song Dynasty are added, and it is definitely not enough for Li Yan to issue the derivative currency in the Great Song Dynasty.

Ma Kuo, who knows so much about derivative coins, naturally knows that one yuan is about equal to consistent money.

Nowadays, a cow is worth about ten guan in the Song Kingdom (different quality, different prices, and different prices for male and female), even if it is a newborn calf, it is worth at least two guan.

Therefore, Li Yan sells a cow for one yuan, which is indeed beneficial to the people.

Ma Kuo said: "What if someone takes the opportunity to occupy more, and what if someone picks a strong cow to buy?" ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Most of my governors have long expected this, so they issued a purchase restriction order and a lottery order, that is, with my Shuibo Liangshan issued an account to buy, four people can buy a cow, when buying, it all depends on luck, draw which head to buy which, in addition, we Shuibo Liangshan also according to a slightly lower than the market price of some prices to collect cattle, first, this is to prevent the cattle from not enough, second, this is to prevent civilians from being unable to divide the cattle and lead to disputes, in fact, we have a total of more than 600,000 people in Yundi, with the hundreds of thousands of cattle we have seized, it should be enough, So they didn't need to queue up to buy it, but they were worried that the cattle would be bought out by others, and when it was their turn, they would not be there, so they waited in line overnight. ”

Ma Kuo was a little curious about what the hukou was, but he didn't ask, because he didn't bother to ask.

Although he had just arrived in Yundi, Ma Kuo had already confirmed that Yundi had stabilized, and the people of Yundi had begun to accept the rule of Shuibo Liangshan, and even more, the people of Yundi might be happy to rule Shuibo Liangshan.

Ma Kuo is sure that it doesn't take much, let Shuibo Liangshan rule in Yundi for another year or two, and Yundi will completely become Shuibo Liangshan's territory.

When he came to Huanzhou City, Liu Qi did not lead the horse into the city, because he did not live in the city at all, no, it should be said that except for a small army to maintain law and order, all the Liangshan troops were stationed outside the city.

Ma Kuo quipped: "Is it that most of your governors are afraid that you will disturb the people, so they don't let you stay in the city?" ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "All the soldiers of our Liangshan Army are fair and never disturb the people...... The army is not stationed in the city, it just does not want to put pressure on the population. ”

The more he knew, the cooler Ma Kuo's heart became—he felt cold not only for the task of this trip, but also for the future of the Great Song Dynasty!

Ma Kuo has a feeling that if Li Yan competes with their official family for the world, the person who loses will be their official family nine times out of ten!

The food that Liu Qi entertained Ma Kuo and his party was not good, that is, the whole army was eating two vegetarian dishes, one meat, and one soup, and there was no wine.

For Wang Yi and others, who are accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, such a simple meal is really difficult for them to swallow, only Ma Kuo ate it very fragrantly, and actually ate four large bowls of rice.

Waiting for Ma Kuo to put down the dishes and chopsticks, Liu Qi glanced at Wang Yi and the others, who no longer planned to eat, and asked Ma Kuo: "Do you want to rest for a while, or do you want to leave now?" ”

Ma Kuo had actually guessed Liu Qi's plan, but he still asked with a smile, "Where are you going?" Go to rest? ”

Liu Qi smiled and said, "I'll send you to see the governor of my family." ”
