Chapter 50: Deliberations of the Hall of Justice

There are more than 20 heroes, each with a division of labor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Mr. Jin Jian Li Zhu is in charge of internal affairs, and Zhu Wu, the master of the Shenji Army, is in charge of the military and assists Wang Jin in practicing the formation. Wang Jin is the head of the cottage Ma Bujun, and Shi Jin is assisted by Han Shizhong and Li Yongqi, the generals of the Western Army.

Song Wan still managed the cottage's money, grain, and construction, and Du Qian was responsible for the cottage's military discipline and law enforcement.

Shi Bao and Shi Jin were the main generals of the Ma Army, Li Kai, Ma Ling, Yang Chun, and Chen Da were the deputy generals, and Yang Lin and Deng Fei were the sentinels of the Ma Army.

Master Guanghui and Li Kui were the infantry commanders, and Sun Yuan, Zhu Gui brothers, Shi Qian, Jiao Ting, Han Bolong, and Zhang Qing and his wife were all infantry leaders.

The three Ruan brothers led the navy and trained the sailors and horses, and Meng Kang built large and small warships, which also belonged to the ranks of the navy.

At the same time, Zhu Gui and Ma Ling are also the chief and deputy leaders of the general detective of the cottage, and they have jurisdiction over Yang Lin and Deng Fei, and Shi Qian, Jiao Ting, Han Bolong, and Zhang Qing and his wife.

Zhu Gui and Jiao Ting were also in charge of the Lijiadaokou Hotel at the foot of Liangshan, and Zhu Fu added the ministry of winemaking in addition to taking care of the Xishan Hotel with Han Bolong. Sun Erniang and his wife newly opened the Beishan Hotel, and Sun Yuan and Shi Qian newly opened the Nanshan Hotel.

Needless to say, the money leopard Tang Long is still responsible for the creation of cottage weapons.

The duties are certain, and everyone performs their duties and takes the command to go. In the Juyi Hall, there are four core people in Liangshan today, as well as Shi Bao, Song Wan, Zhu Gui and several other principals.

Wang Lun has been away from the mountain for a long time, and he is not familiar with the situation on the mountain now, so he asked Song Wandao first: "Brother Song Wan, what is the population of the cottage now, the number of soldiers, and whether the money and food are sufficient, please tell the brothers to listen." ”

Song Wan immediately got up and explained the internal and external resources of Liangshan clearly. Today, there are more than 2,300 households in Liangshan cottage, with a population of more than 3,800 people, and more than 1,200 elderly and weak women and children. More than 800 acres of cultivated land, with an annual output of 4 million catties of grain. Fish along the lake to breed chickens and ducks, and get about 10,000 catties of fish, meat, eggs and milk every month.

There are more than 4,800 taels of gold, 66,500 taels of silver, and more than 46,000 taels of copper. In addition, there are more than 1,200 horses of silk, 2,400 horses of linen, and more than 1,700 horses of silk. There are more than 5,000 quintals of grain stored in the granary, which can be used for about a year and a half of the cottage.

In terms of troops, Liangshan now has a naval army of 400 people, divided into three teams and stationed in Yabia. To date, there are more than 1,300 infantry members. The Ma army was less than 100 people earlier, but after Deng Fei and others came, it increased to 300 people. Now there are more than 400 cavalry members of Wang Lunxi's army, which is a force that should not be underestimated.

As for armament, there are 1,400 bows and crossbows, including 200 divine arm bows. 2,000 spears, 240 halberds, 1,600 swords, and 400 axes. 214 pairs of iron armor, 270 pairs of foot armor, and 860 pairs of leather armor. In addition, there were more than 1,000 war horses, 200 horses, 80 donkeys, 130 ploughing cattle, and 315 pigs and sheep.

When Song Wan reported the data in detail, everyone had an impression in their hearts. Wang Lun pondered for a while and asked, "Now that the situation in the cottage is like this, can you brothers teach me?" This is Wang Lun's desire to brainstorm and make the cottage bigger.

This cottage is everyone's cottage, and this cause is also everyone's business, and everyone is thinking hard.

Li Zhu pondered for a while, bowed his hand to Wang Lun, and then said: "According to the usual habits of the brothers, they will fight a little and occupy the mountain as the king. It's just for the sake of eating, but it's nothing. It's just that now our brothers are gathering here, led by my brother, and we have to do something big, so that we don't bury ourselves, and we also do something practical for the people of the world! ”

Seeing that Li Zhu said formally, everyone listened attentively. I only heard Li Zhu say again: "My brother already has the magic method of "nine-character policy", and my brother doesn't need to say more. If Shanzhai wants to develop in an all-round way, it is nothing more than to start in the economic and military departments. It's just that now if you want to accumulate food and expand your strength, you must first solve the problem of survival! ”

The problem Li Zhu said was a problem he had always been concerned about, otherwise he would not have cultivated fields around Shuibo. Nowadays, there are many soldiers in Liangshan, accounting for more than half of the population, which is equivalent to one and a half soldiers raised by one person. Although everyone is doing a business with no capital, the burden is too heavy.

According to the previous methods of the cottage, in addition to the looting of money and grain, it was borrowed by large households, and a small number of villagers gave it and bought it outside. As the saying goes, if there is food at home, there is no panic, but if there is no food...... The food problem is the lifeblood of the economy, and if it is not self-sufficient, it will suffer losses in the future.

This food problem is also a problem that Wang Lun is particularly concerned about, in the original time and space, Liangshan Chaogai and Song Jiang pursued liukouism. They did not establish base areas like Tian Hu and Fang La, let alone mobilize the people. The people fled from their homes like plague gods, and there were not a few. For example, Liangshan is unpopular, and when Gao Yu conquered Liangshan, Ye Chun, who built a building boat, was an example. If Liang Shan hadn't robbed him of his goods, he wouldn't have taken refuge in Gao Yu. There are also Dulonggang and Sanzhuang mutual insurance, all to deal with the robbery of Liangshan.

What's more, because the heroes of Liangshan often go down the mountain to rob property, there are no passing caravans on the roads near Liangshan, just like the porters hired by Yang Zhi and the tolerances who escorted Song Jiang did not dare to cross Liangshan.

This kind of economy of Liangshan is a predatory economy, which is developed not by its own production, but by foreign plunder. This kind of economy can be realized because of three conditions: First, there are abundant material products, money, grain, cloth and silk are plundered, there is no capital and profits, and profits are abundant. Second, the commodity economy is underdeveloped, the economy is relatively closed, and the small-scale peasant economy is self-sufficient. The third is because Liangshan is a special group, which walks together for a common purpose of survival and has a relatively strong cohesion.

For a long time, Liangshan's only income was robbery, and he couldn't make ends meet. But unfortunately, the core layer of Liangshan did not realize the importance of the base area, and had to follow the path of Huangchao and Li Shun. In the end, because Liangshan had no grain and grass, he had no choice but to choose Zhao'an under the good situation.

Now that Liangshan wants to continue to develop, Wang Lun knows that it is not enough to rely on the money and grain of the state capital near Liangshan, but also to seize the land, which is the foundation of his life!

For the economic situation on Liangshan, Wang Lun has already had a budget. In terms of income, Yangsan has an excellent geographical environment and some means of self-reliance, which can generate production income. For example, Zhu Fu is now responsible for the self-brewed good wine, fresh lotus root and fresh fish from the 800-mile water pool, and new peaches, apricots, plums, plums, loquats, mountain dates, persimmons, chestnuts and so on on the trees in Shannan. There are also chickens, pigs, geese, ducks, and other items raised by Song Wan organized women and children to raise themselves, all of which are not much investment.

But the proportion of these revenues in copycat assets is negligible. Although Wang Lun forbade his subordinates to do anything wrong, but as the king of the mountain, he was more likely to rob houses and rob past merchants.

Even in the original work, Chao Gai of the righteous Bo Yuntian is not immune. After fighting Wang Lun, Chao Gai invited everyone to a banquet, and the book wrote: "The little minions said: 'Leader Zhu has heard about a merchant, and dozens of people are connected in one place, and they will pass by the dry road tonight, and they have come to report it. Chao Gai said: "There is no gold silk to use." Who leads people to walk? ’…… Chao Gai and Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, and Lin Chong drank until dawn, only to see the little minions report: 'Lose to Leader Zhu! He got more than 20 carts, gold and silver, and forty or fifty donkeys and mules. Then he asked: 'Have you not killed anyone?' The little minions replied, 'When the many guests saw that we were coming with great force, they left their cars, their mouths, and their luggage, and fled for their lives; It didn't hurt him a single one. When he saw this, he rejoiced: "From now on, we will not harm anyone." ’”

This Chao Gai is considered a thief of benevolence and righteousness, he only robs money and does not take his life, and the first thing after the robbery is to ask whether there is any killing or injury. When he heard that no one died, he was overjoyed and praised, but he did not like gold and silver, and the traveler was unharmed.

On the way back from Hedong, Wang Lun was also thinking about the operation of the cottage. The cottage population is large, and people eat horses and chew horses, and the cost is not small. When it comes to war with the imperial court, it is absolutely impossible to have no money and food. He had nothing to do, and he also recalled some of the business methods of Chao Gai and Song Jiang in the book.

For example, after Song Jiang was in charge of Liangshan in the original book, the strategy and policy were improved: "It turned out that there were good men in the park, but they went down the mountain at leisure, or led people and horses, or just a few leaders took their own way." If there are merchants, vehicles, and horses on the way, let them pass by; If it is a senior official, when the gold and silver are found in the box, the whole family does not keep it, and the obtained things are sent to the cottage, and the Naku is used for public use, and the rest are small, and they are divided. It is one hundred and ten miles, three or two hundred miles, if there is a large household with money and grain that harms the people, it will lead people to openly move up the mountain, who dares to stop it. But when I inquired about the villain who oppressed the good and the rich and accumulated some furniture, no matter how far or near, people went to pack up all of them and go up the mountain. In this way, there are more than 1,000 places of size. Because there is no one to resist, and I am not afraid that you will call for the sky, so it has not been revealed, so there is nothing to say. ”

At this point, Liangshan is no longer like ordinary grass thieves robbing roads, but specializing in robbing the rich and helping the poor. Organized, planned hoarding of money, food, and goods.

As Liangshan continued to grow, it attacked the city and uprooted the villages, rushed to the prefecture and hit the government, and looted some prefectures and counties (Gaotang Prefecture and Daimyofu) and the large estates of rich and powerful landlords (Zhujiazhuang and Zengtou City) with rich and grain, and took them for their own use. In Zhujiazhuang alone, the people of Liangshan robbed 50 million stones of grain and rice.

Compare Liangshan's financial expenditures in the book: "Chao Gai and other leaders all went to the cottage gathering hall, dustpan palms, and sat down; Tell the little minions to carry a lot of belongings, open them one by one in the hall, pile up the colorful silk clothes on one side, the licensed goods and other things on the side, and pile the gold and silver treasures on the front; Then he called the little leader of the treasury, and took half of each of them and stored it in the treasury, waiting for the expenditure; This half is divided into two points, and the eleven leaders in the hall share one equally, and everyone on the mountain and down the mountain shares one equally......"

Although there is an uneven division between the boss and the minions, it is also a relative egalitarianism. If the two are equal, who wants to be motivated, after all, it is a day when the knife licks blood.

Speaking of the food of the cottage people, the leader takes Wu Song as an example, Jingyang Gangxia, - the tone is eighteen bowls of spirits and four catties of cooked beef; In Anping Village, the "bribe" given to him by Shi En was a big swirl of wine, a plate of meat, a plate of noodles, and a big bowl of juice at noon. Wu Song pondered: "Dare to eat these snacks with me, but come to deal with me?" Dinner was even more sumptuous: a few vegetables and vegetables, a large swirl of wine, a large plate of fried meat, a bowl of fish soup, and a large bowl of rice. Simply wipe it out completely.

In front of the happy forest, "there are no three but hope", thirty or fifty bowls of wine are in the stomach, the meals are not counted, and when they arrive at the destination, they are another barrel of wine; When passing Feiyunpu, "I couldn't travel more than five miles, and I ate all the two cooked geese sent by Shi En", so angry that the two escorts swallowed and spit.

Wu Song is so belly-like, it is almost the same as thirty-six Tiangang, seventy-two is temporarily half of Wu Song's food, and the cottage minions are a quarter of Wu Song, and the food consumed is not a few!

So even if Liangshan is an ordinary person, how much food do they have to consume? daily consumption of finished grain, one kilogram per capita; The daily consumption of non-staple food is also one kilogram per capita. In this way, each person consumes 365 kilograms of finished grain per year, and 20,000 people consume 7.3 million liters of grain and 7.3 million liters of non-staple food.

There are also expenses for human relations, and after Song Jiang took charge of Liangshan, his landlord's old wealth temperament also cost a lot. For example, the cost of doing things for Chao Gai, buying the Cai Fu brothers from the Daimyo Mansion, asking An Daoquan to go up the mountain, and the money given by Shijie Tianshu to He Daoshi......
