The Mid-Autumn Festival of the 11th year of the Great Zhou Chengping, August 15, is also the third Mid-Autumn Festival of Gu Haotian to this era.

The Zhonghua Hall in Yangsan held its second general meeting since its inauguration, with all the military and civilian leaders on the mountain participating. Just like the previous time, Gu Haotian put a lot of thought into the seating of the personnel. If the newcomers are placed in front of the original personnel, the original personnel are afraid that they will be dissatisfied, and if they are placed behind, the newcomers will feel that they are not valued, and after thinking for a long time there is no result, so he has to pull Wen Huanzhang and Xiao Jiasui to discuss together.

In the end, Xiao Jiasui's suggestion was adopted, he said that the new and old personnel do not understand each other's ability and knowledge, and the arrangement of seats will cause dissatisfaction among all parties, so it is better to sit down on a first-come, first-served basis.

After the seating rules were set, Koo Ho-tin referred to the method of holding meetings in later generations, and asked the District Affairs Department to post everyone's names on the chairs, and then asked the District Office to send clever people to guide them at the door to prevent some people from being illiterate and making jokes.

In the middle of the morning, all the personnel on Liangshan were in place, except for Zhu Gui, who was far away in Jinling Town, and Duan Jingzhu, who went to the north to buy horses.

Sitting on the left are Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui, Du Qian, Xiao Rang, Gu Song, Tao Zongwang, Shi Qian, Song Wan, Zhu Fu, Gu Bai, Tang Long, Han Jiangping, and Sha Tong.

But Xiao Jiasui himself proposed the rule of first come, first served, and he had to sit until the end of his death, but Gu Haotian persuaded him to let the position be empty first.

On the right are Bian Xiang, Ma Qiang, Ruan Xiaoer, Zhou Yunqing, Su Sheng, Sun An, Ma Xian, Ruan Xiaowu, Lei Heng, Ruan Xiaoqi, Gu Bo, Geng Gong, Zhu Jing, Li Kui, Zhou Jin, Jiao Ting, Xue Can, Shangguan Yi, Yuan Lang, Teng Ji, Teng Ji, Lu Cheng, Fei Bao, and Di Cheng.

After Gu Haotian sat down, he looked at a heroic class, and couldn't help but be full of pride. At this time, Xiao Rang stood up and read out the relevant decision of the manor.

“…… Xiao Jiasui, the younger brother of Emperor Gaozu Wu of the Great Liang, after Xiao Liang of Jingnan Assassin History. Ambitious, magnanimous, skilled in martial arts, and strategic, please be the deputy director of Liangshan Manor,......"

After Xiao Rang finished reading, everyone in the audience was shocked, and after not thinking that this Mr. Xiao was the emperor, many people thought about it, even people with such status went to Liangshan, then they were with the right person.

Everyone looked at Gu Haotian in their eyes, and then he stood up, bowed to Xiao Jiasui, and said, "Please sir." ”

Xiao Jiasui was very moved when he saw that Gu Haotian respected him so much, he stood up and walked into the lobby, solemnly bowed to Gu Haotian, and then was not hypocritical, so he went to Wen Huanzhang and sat down.

Then Xiao Rang continued to read out the second decision: "A total of 4,650 new soldiers will be recruited for the victims of the Huai flood, and 150 new sailors will be recruited from Taihu Lake, a total of 4,800 people. It was agreed that the number of men in the personal guard battalion should be increased to 200, that of the training battalion to 300, of the cavalry battalion to 500, of the sailors of the battalion of 1,800 and of the infantry battalion of 4,200. ”

Xiao Rang has not finished reading out, and there have been discussions below, but the most excited are the Ruan family brothers, the sailors have always been weak in Liangshan, the gold is not as expensive as the cavalry, and the number of people is not as good as the infantry, as for the personal guard battalion and the teaching battalion, it was not among the comparisons, but now it has increased by more than 1,000 people at once, and with the help of the four heroes of Taihu Lake, I suddenly feel a lot stronger. Only Zhou Yunqing was a little depressed, his men and horses had increased too little compared with the sailors and infantry, even if he knew that there was a shortage of horses on the mountain, he felt uneven.

"The training battalion will first select and transfer personnel from all the escort teams to carry out recruit training, and after the current round of recruits is over, the personal guard battalion and cavalry battalion can give priority to the selection of new and veteran members."

"Brother, if you listen, you will know that you will not treat your cavalry battalion badly, the personnel are selected by you, and this battalion should not be worthy of a few battalions of others."

As soon as Xiao Rang read this, Ruan Xiaoer whispered to Zhou Yunqing beside him.

"Hey! Hey! ”

Zhou Yunqing laughed dryly, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, and immediately thought in his heart, those people he usually fancied would all pull him over at that time, thinking about the expressions of the other battalion commanders at that time, he almost laughed out loud.

"This time, only the seats will be arranged according to the first come, the first arrival, and all the leaders of the escort team, after the end of this recruit training, when a new battalion is set up, they will rearrange their duties according to their abilities, and then they will be arranged according to their positions."

Xiao Rang finally finished reading it out, and what he said at the end caused an even greater shock among the leaders of the escort team. Although, Gu Haotian has always emphasized that Liang Shan's position is not immutable, and everyone can go up or down according to their ability, but there has been no competition before, and this time a large number of masters came, and many people felt pressure. People like Zhou Yunqing, Zhu Sheng, Sun An and others are of course not afraid, but Geng Gong, Zhu Jing, Li Kui, and Zhou Jin are under pressure, but of course, the newcomers Shangguan Yi, Yuan Lang and others are extremely excited.

The demeanor of everyone, Gu Xitian understood it, he came from the later generations and naturally knew the benefits of being able to go up and down, but he also understood how difficult it was, of course he didn't want to turn good things into bad things.

"Brothers, this Huaishui disaster relief, no one in the whole mountain did not do their best, no one did not do their best, and thanks to the help of Shangguan Zhuang, Mr. Xiao and many other heroes, there was a great success, but there is a sadness and unprecedented pressure in my heart that cannot be removed."

Gu Haotian's deep voice suddenly quieted down the people who had ideas just now.

"The Huai flood disaster has affected more than 10 counties in several states and hundreds of thousands of victims, but what do we see, the government is corrupt and incompetent, the powerful and the powerful take the plunder, and the people are just fish and meat on the chopping board. This time, we accepted more than 10,000 people in Liangshan, but they were only a small part of the Huai flood victims, but how many such people are there in the world? ”

"Living in such a troubled time, facing such a court, is our sorrow; And with our current strength in Liangshan, we can't help too many people, how can we help more people, this is the pressure we are on. ”

"And to relieve this pressure, the most effective way is to continue to strengthen the strength of Liangshan, this trip to Huaishui, there are many brothers to join me Liangshan, this is Liangshan's luck. In the future, there will be more heroes and heroes to join me Liangshan, but people have the ability to do high, there are also successes, so I think that there is no need to fight for fame and fortune in Liangshan, as long as there is real talent and learning, as long as you are willing to work hard, I firmly believe that every Liangshan brother will have a place to display their talents. Besides, if you are talented, why should you be limited to Liangshan. ”

The court is incompetent, the people are poor, strengthen Liangshan, revitalize and save the people, as long as you have real talent and learning, where is the world not a place to make contributions, Gu Haotian deliberately said this in order to prevent some people from staring at the gains and losses in front of them.

And everyone heard that this was undoubtedly a declaration of rebellion, but it was such words that appealed to the appetite of these people who hated the way of the world, "If you are talented, why should you be limited to Liangshan", yes, as long as you follow the petty officials, who can predict the future in the future, and why bother looking at the small profits in front of you, it is important to only practice your skills well, and everyone secretly adds strength to themselves.

Although Xiao Jiasui usually speculates about what Liang Shan did, the first time he heard Gu Haotian express it so bluntly, he couldn't help but be shocked, but he secretly became excited, isn't this exactly what he wants.

Then Gu Haotian announced that he would have a banquet at Liangshan Restaurant tonight, one to catch the wind for the new brothers, and the other to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together, and everyone cheered and dispersed together.

"My brother is in a hurry, when I first heard Zhou Dong and Daxia speak such words last year, he was only eleven years old, and we are as surprised as you, sometimes I think he is really a person born into the world."

After the meeting, Wen Huanzhang and Xiao Jiasui sat in the Juxian Hall and drank tea together, and he also guessed Xiao Jiasui's thoughts just now.

"What does it mean to be born into the world?" Xiao Jiasui asked strangely.

So Wen Huanzhang said that Gu Haotian changed his temperament after being struck by lightning, Luo Zhenren of Erxian Mountain sent someone to give medicine, Zhou Dongdong came thousands of miles to invite him to come to teach together, and so on. Xiao Jiasui was shocked when he heard it, he would never have imagined that there were so many legends on Gu Haotian, what kind of characters were Luo Zhenren and Zhou Dong! At this time, he began to understand why characters like Wen Huanzhang would help him on this isolated island with peace of mind, and immediately put away the arrogance hidden in his heart quietly.

Not to mention the secret words of Wen and Xiao in the tea room, but it was said that after the leaders of the escort team left the Zhonghua Hall, they gathered together but it was very lively.

"Fei Bao and Di Cheng, two brothers, hurry up and recruit the brothers of Taihu Lake, you don't know yet, before the mountain water army was three brothers, even if they played football and were bullied to death by that gang, now it's okay, I won't be afraid of you coming."

It was rare for Liangshan to come to a few water army leaders, Ruan Xiaowu was very excited, and pulled the two of them desperately close.

"I have already taken someone with the fleet to Taihu Lake to pick up people, and then I have to take care of the five younger brothers."

"The little five brothers should take care of themselves, but it is very difficult to beat my Bujun in football, but you didn't see a few strong guys coming to Bujun."

As soon as Fei Bao finished speaking, Yu Sheng joked on the side.

"It's this guy who usually bullies us the most, go to Liangshan Restaurant tonight and kill him first." Ruan Xiaowu pointed at Yu Sheng and scolded with a smile.

"I just don't know who will kill whom." Katsu is quite confident in his own drinking.

Sun An, Li Kui, Zhu Jing and others on the side saw the two fighting wine, and they couldn't wait to see the popularity immediately, so they coaxed together, and the whole square was in a mess.

That night, more than ten tables were set up in Liangshan Restaurant, and Gu Haotian invited the family members of the mountain leader to the civil affairs office, and invited Dr. Gao, the village heads, and Ba Sanlang and Zhuang Mingli also invited over.

Liangshan's wine banquet has never paid too much attention to the rules, but it is not allowed to make trouble after drinking, Li Kui once sprinkled drunkenness, was locked up for three days, and banned wine for ten days, that taste, according to Li Kui's own words, said that he will not forget it for ten lifetimes. Later, some people touched their heads, but the pain of confinement was enough to be remembered by everyone. Since then, drinking can't make trouble, which has become an insurmountable bottom line for Liangshan to drink.

After three rounds of drinking, Gu Haotian will toast at each table as usual, and then everyone will toast back and forth, and after the newcomers get used to it, they will also come out to toast under the leadership of the old man. At this moment, I saw Ruan Xiaowu with Fei Bao and Di Cheng, Mi Sheng with Yuan Lang, and went to the main table to toast.

"I just heard that the two brothers, Xiao Wu and Ji Sheng, want to gamble and drink at night, but there is such a thing." Gu Haotian asked with a smile.

"It is true." The two replied in unison.

"But now it's even better?"

"Why don't you dare?" The two of them suddenly looked like a pair of fighting cocks.

"That's it, each person is limited to one bottle, no bowls, only use a reed tube to suck, whoever drinks first wins, here Su Sheng and Yuan Lang brothers, over there Fei Bao and Di Cheng choose one person to fight with the little five brothers."

After that, Gu Hao ordered the people to bring four bottles of high-grade immortal drunkenness, set up another table in the middle of the big store, and the four of them fought wine everywhere.

This novel way of fighting wine immediately ignited the atmosphere of the scene. As if they were back on the field of a football match, they chose one side to cheer and shouted.

But I saw that Yu Sheng and Ruan Xiaowu were sitting opposite each other, and Di Cheng was sitting opposite Yuan Lang.

I saw Gu Haotian give an order, and the four of them sucked up at the reed pipe together. The drunkenness of the superior immortals is different from the ordinary, Yuan Lang has never tried it, he inhaled hard at the beginning, only to feel that the throat was irritated abnormally, and the wine in his throat almost spurted out, so he hurriedly raised his head, and it took a while to calm down, but Di Cheng on the opposite side had received Ruan Xiaowu's guidance in advance, and he was drinking smoothly.

When everyone was about to lose, they saw that the red-faced tiger actually straightened up, stepped on the bench, and picked up the wine bottle and sucked it violently. Seeing this, the other three also stood up with their wines, and the audience cheered loudly for a while.

In just a quarter of an hour, the four of them drank the wine together, but they couldn't tell the obvious winner or loser, but Di Cheng's drunkenness was a little obvious.

A game pushed the atmosphere of the whole stadium to a climax, and after several cups and lamps, there was no distinction between new and old, and everyone was in harmony.

It was Xiao Jiasui who was also slightly drunk, and said to Wen Huanzhang with a big tongue: "Little 、—— and little official, Your Majesty, don't--unique, who doesn't give up--collapse." ”
