Chapter 58

Rifei Xingchi, in the blink of an eye, Wang Lun returned to Liangshan for half a year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info now Liangshan, it is not an exaggeration to call it a soldier with enough food.

On this day, Wang Lun, Zhu Wu, and Li Zhu inspected their subordinate Tuntian and took a walk in the mountains.

Zhu Wu thought of Shi Jin who left the mountain, sighed and said, "I don't know what happened to Shi Dalang's family?" ”

Shi Jin's brother came with news in mid-January this year, saying that Shi Jin's father was seriously ill. When Shi Jin heard this, he immediately set off to take care of his father, but now a month has passed, and there is no news at all.

Wang Lun excused himself and said: "Uncle Shi is sick, and Brother Shi Jin should serve in front of him, so it's okay to delay for a few months." ”

Zhu Wu nodded first, then shook his head and said: "The junior brother is not afraid that Shi Dalang will miss the scenery under the mountain, but that he will have a bad temper, argue with others, and expose his identity. ”

Zhu Wu and Shi Jin cherish each other, and they are both northwest figures, living and dying together, and they care the most.

When Wang Lun was reading, he only remembered that Shi Taigong died of illness after Wang Jin left, but he didn't know the specific time. However, he guessed that it might be the last few months, otherwise Shi Bin, the younger brother of the Shi Jin clan, would not have sent someone to pass the word.

Over there, Li Zhu suddenly remembered something, saluted Wang Lun, and then asked: "Brother wants to contact heroes everywhere and hold big things together, why did he leave aside a few people in Qingzhou?" ”

Last year, Wang Lun and others decided to contact the rebel armies everywhere. For example, Liao Li in Fangshan, Hubei, was the friend of Mr. Jin Jian's Li Zhu, and Wang Lun sent Li Yi to form an alliance. Dengyun Mountain in Dengzhou and Yinmachuan in Hebei are all contacted by Yang Lin. Cangzhou Chai Jin and Yuncheng Chao Gai, Wang Lun did not fall behind, and there was Du Qian's contact.

These are all potential allies of Wang Lun, Taizu has a strategy of encircling cities from the countryside, and Wang Lun has a strategy of encircling cities with cottages instead. As for the Wenzhong Rong Cui Ye of Baoqian Mountain, Bao Dao of Jinhua Mountain, Luo Xian of Manichaeism in Qianzhou, Jiangxi, and Guo Yaoshi, a giant thief of maritime merchants in Dengzhou...... Some are far away, and some have no referrals, and they can't be contacted for a while.

And Li Zhu asked Wang Lun's three cottages, but they were strongmen in Qingzhou, Shandong. One is Peach Blossom Mountain, and the king is called Zhou Tong, the little overlord. One is the Baozhu Temple of Erlong Mountain, the mountain is steep, and the leader is the golden-eyed tiger Deng Long. There is also Qingfeng Mountain, headed by the three leaders, namely the curly-haired tiger Yanshun, the white-faced Langjun Zheng Tiantao, and the short-legged tiger Wang Ying. There is also a White Tiger Mountain, two brothers of Kong Ming and Kong Liang, who are sometimes businessmen and sometimes thieves. These places are all things that Wang Lun has never contacted.

Li Zhu knew that these leaders were outstanding in martial arts, and it was even more rare that they had many subordinates, and they dared to confront the government, which was the help that Liangshan urgently needed.

"I've also heard of the reputation of these cottages, but they don't conspire with each other!" Wang Lun looked at the scenery in the distance and said lightly.

Last year, Wang Lun and others robbed the Birthday Gang, but they caused a big disaster. However, this black pot was carried by three cottages on the ground in Qingzhou. Qingzhou soldiers and horses controlled Qin Ming, and Huang Xin, the soldiers and horses were overseered, and the three mountains were conquered, and the people and horses of the three mountains died down. Not to mention that Qin Ming was rewarded, Huang Xin also got the reputation of "Three Mountains of the Town".

Although these three groups of people are good, except for the womanizers, who kill innocents indiscriminately, Wang Lun will not stop it. If the deeds are mature, you must do the right thing for heaven!

Li Zhu listened to Wang Lun's words, and remembered the rules of Liangshanzhai and felt a pang in his heart, and said in his heart: Yes, these people are not good men, and they must not be allowed to go up the mountain to tarnish the prestige of Liangshan!

While the three of them were talking, Yamashita Jiao Ting hurriedly ran up.

Without waiting for Jiao Ting to come to him, Wang Lun asked first: "You are not in the hotel under the mountain, what are you running for?" ”

Jiao Ting saluted, took a breath and said, "Three brothers!" Recently, it has been rumored that the imperial court wants to encompass 800 miles of water as public land, and the people will go into the lake to fish, collect lotus roots, and cut cattails, all of which will be taxed according to the size of the boat, and if there are any violations of the prohibition, they will be punished as thieves. ”

At first, it was Du Gongcai, a Xu official in Ruzhou, who was good at observing faces and being opportunistic, in order to be promoted to please Yang Jian, a favored minister and eunuch of Song Huizong. Du Gongcai suggested that Yang Jian "legislate to claim land deeds for the people": legislative decrees, check the land deeds of farmers, A and B, B and C, until there is no land deed, collect it as public land, increase the amount of rent, and do not allow rent reduction and interest reduction in case of natural disasters. After repeated investigations, it was found that until the land deed was gone, it was collected as public land.

So Yang Jian wrote to the imperial court and set up an organization in charge of public fields, called "Xicheng Kutian Office". In the name of clearing up public land, Kutian refers to all those with incomplete private land deeds, land deeds that are different from the actual location or area, and good land that those in power want.

Because the Great Song Dynasty did not explicitly prohibit land annexation, many fields in the hands of the people were bought and sold, some things were not filed with the yamen for some reasons, and some were obtained by private reclamation, and there were no land deeds at all. So these fields were naturally confiscated by the imperial court.

And Yang Jian was insatiable, and in order to loot money and obtain political achievements, he also promulgated new measurement standards. The new standard size is smaller than the old size, so all the people's fields have to be measured more than on the land deed. Yang Jian took back the extra land he had changed and rented it to the original people for cultivation.

The people planted the same fields, but they paid more taxes. Before and after, a total of more than 34,300 hectares of land were obtained. "From the bankrupt to the house, there is a beggar in the city for the proud surname."

Yang Jian made a windfall through this means, and created another political achievement, which won the trust of Song Huizong. And he also reciprocated the favor by promoting Du Gongcai to be the observer of the five products.

Yang Jian saw that Du Gongcai had found a lot of fields in Ruzhou, so he spread this harsh policy on Jingxi Road, and now it has spread to Shandong and Huaixi.

Liangshan's 800 miles of water is the first place for those corrupt officials to collect money, because these water pools are caused by the Yellow River breach, not only the water pools are ownerless, but all the places that have been flooded, corrupt officials and corrupt officials can refer to the retreat of the beach, and do not recognize the previous land deed.

Yang Jian even announced that the entire 800-mile water area of Liangshanbo would be taken into "public ownership", and that "the charter was counted as a straight ship, and the offender stole it." According to the regulations, all the people who enter the lake to fish, harvest lotus roots, and cut cattails must be taxed heavily according to the size of the boat, and if there are any violations of the prohibition, they will be punished as thieves.

It is beneficial to seize the land, and the greedy are greedy! Another great eunuch, Li Yan, pushed Yang Jian's pioneering career to a climax. "All the people who are beautiful and make others vote for Chen, all refer to the desolation, although they are not provincial. Lushan County is all included in the public land, burning the people's old coupons, so that the landowners lose the tenant business, the complainant is punished with more than 10 million. ”

Li Zhu sympathized with the plight of the people, hated the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and said hatefully: "Pity many people, who have worked hard for decades to make other people's clothes!" ”

Wang Lun had a different view on this, and smiled indifferently: "It seems like this tyranny, how can the people not flee." We waited in Liangshan to raise the flag, and the people naturally came to the wind. ”

Seeing that Wang Lun was light-hearted, Jiao Ting said again: "Brother, there is one more thing!" Recently, I heard that my little brother's friend Bao Xu, the god of mourning, was falling on the grass in the dead tree mountain, and the younger brother was willing to say it for his brother! ”

Bao Xu ranked sixty in the original book, and was the second general of the infantry army, and fought as Li Kui, the retinue of the infantry army. He is known as the god of mourning and is also a murderer, and Li Kui, Xiang Chong, and Li Yan are called the "Liangshan Killer Foursome".

Its skills are only ordinary, and Liangshan is not short of heroes now, but he needs such a talent who can stand alone. Bao Xu can run the Dry Tree Mountain alone, live under the nose of Zengtou City, and confront the government, so he naturally has some ability!

Wang Lun immediately said: "Okay! Just bother the brothers! ”
