The chance encounter with Yan Junqing on the way made Gu Haotian have a wish, and the two best friends opened their hearts and exchanged their hearts that night before solemnly saying goodbye.

Early the next morning, Gu Haotian and others set off on the road, and arrived at the Lijia Road crossing in the afternoon, and everyone did not delay, and quickly got on the ferry and returned to Liangshan.

It was still Wang Dingliu who came to greet him, and he was talking about the grand occasion of Liangshan in recent days with great interest on the way.

"In the past two days, the manor has been very lively, and all the strong laborers of each village and household have gone down the mountain to participate in the transportation of grain, but now there is a horse road up the mountain to use livestock, and the speed of transportation is much faster, but the warehouse is not enough, and Director Tao is leading the infrastructure team to rush to build day and night."

"It's hard work for everyone!"

"What did the petty officials say? Now the people in the manor know that the imperial court will sooner or later have to get along with us, as the saying goes, there is food at home, do not panic, this warehouse full of grain to the shore, everyone is happy in their hearts, the management office only opened an opening, and has not mentioned the matter of wages, and the old and young in the back mountain have brought their own tools to the wharf to transport grain. ”

When Gu Haotian heard this, his heart was warm, and he felt that the hard work of the past two years had finally not been in vain. Around the middle of the Shen period, the boat shore is at the Golden Beach Pier. Unexpectedly, the grain ship that came by waterway also arrived, and Luan Tingyu's mother and son, Hu Cheng's father and son, as well as Shi Xiu, Yang Xiong and others also happened to go ashore.

Wen Huanzhang, Zhao Ding and others were already directing the delivery of supplies, and at this time, they happened to be at the dock, and everyone met one by one. Since the road was full of people and livestock carrying grain, the group let the two old men sit in a sedan chair, and the others walked together, and then went straight up the hill ramp from it.

Wen Huanzhang couldn't imagine that a trip to Zhujiazhuang would have such a big harvest, and he was not surprised in the past, but he was also a little excited.

"I didn't expect that Zhujia Zhuang's family had a good background, but it solved a big problem for us."

"It is estimated that there are 600,000 or 700,000 stone in grain alone, and I also asked my uncle Li Ying to stay and take charge of the fields of the three villages, and it will become our hidden granary in the future."

"That's the safest arrangement, but we still have to send some people over to help, otherwise the stall will be too big to take care of."

"What the gentleman said is very true, I am going to ask the Civil Affairs Department to select some backbone personnel to help, and then select some people from the officer training camp to train the escort force over there."

Gu Haotian and Wen Huanzhang were talking and walking, and the group didn't realize that they had reached the second pass, but they suddenly heard an old man's scolding.

"You rabbit cub, if you are not careful, this food is all the petty officials who have worked hard to get it back, why waste it, and don't pick it up."

Everyone looked and saw that on the road in front of the pass, a bag of rice was scattered on the ground, and an old man scolded the stunned half-sized boy on the side while squatting on the ground to pick up grain.

Gu Haotian saw it, and he went over to help without thinking about it.

"Uncle, the child is still young, don't blame him."

"Why is it small, the small officials of the family are big with him, and they are all doing big things, and this kid can't do anything except talk about joining the escort team every day."

The old man didn't raise his head, so he said a word, but Gu Haotian was speechless, only to provoke Hu Sanniang on the side to laugh.

At this time, the old man felt that something was wrong, but when he looked up, he found that the person in front of him was a small official, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and was about to salute, but was held down by Gu Haotian.

"Uncle, you can live here at ease?"

In fact, the people of the manor had no fear of this petty official, and the old man saw that Gu Haotian stopped him from saluting, so he replied:

"Why don't you feel at ease, I have never been so relieved in my life, I think that I used to suffer disasters in Huaixi every year, and my family died, and I never dreamed of such a good day. But I heard that the government is going to get along with us, and we can't do it anyway, if there is a shortage of people in the manor, the old man will also carry the gun on the array. ”

With the help of everyone, a bag of grain was quickly packed and loaded onto the backs of the animals and transported away. But the scene was very touching to a few newcomers. Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu's first feeling was that this place was right, and Luan Tingyu had another layer of understanding about this little junior brother.

Walking slowly all the way, everyone entered the back mountain at the beginning of the unitary time. The Civil Affairs Department has already arranged a house for everyone, there are many Hu families, and they occupy a courtyard exclusively, Luan Tingyu's mother and son were invited by Lin Chong to live together, as for Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong, they can only arrange a single dormitory.

That night, the management office held a reception banquet at Liangshan Restaurant. Gu Haotian specially arranged for Gu Zhen, Hu Taigong, Lin Jiaotou, Gao Dafu, Gu Song and other elderly people to make a table, and specially invited Xu Churen to the banquet, this stubborn old man has basically recovered recently, and his thoughts have gradually loosened.

That night, everyone was happy, and after Gu Haotian saw off Xu Churen and others, he strolled home with his father. The Gu family has now given up all the properties on the surface and lives in the manor. But in the face of such a major event as "rebellion", Gu Zhen was worried after all. Father and son walked all the way, Gu Hao Tianxiang carefully analyzed the various advantages and follow-up plans of Liangshan Manor, Gu Zhen finally had the bottom in his heart after listening to it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

After a good night's sleep, Gu Hao came back from morning practice the next day, and just had a warm breakfast with Master Li and Pan Jinlian in the small building. But when he heard Bian Xiang report that Yumachuan's fleet had arrived, he hurriedly got up and walked out.

When I arrived at Zhonghua Hall, I listened to the laughter and laughter in it. Gu Haotian walked in, only to see Wen Huanzhang, Lin Chong, Ji Sheng, Sun An, Zhou Yunqing, Wang Yu, Ruan Xiaowu, and even Luan Tingyu were there. Only Ruan Xiaowu didn't know each other, the one on the left was white and tall, and the other on the right was white and fat. At this time, he suddenly remembered that the two leaders of Yinmachuan were coming, and immediately went to the two of them and said with great joy:

"These two brothers must be the jade banner Meng Kang and the iron-faced face Pei Xuan, but they have been waiting for a long time!"

"The petty officials are loved, and my brother is inscribed."

The two also guessed that the little official had arrived, so they both threw themselves and saluted.

Gu Haotian helped them up one by one, and then went to the conference room with everyone to sit down, and then asked Ruan Xiaowu:

"How many people have you recruited this time?"

"When the follow-up manpower in the manor arrived, a thousand people had already been recruited, and later after Gongsun Daochang learned about the situation in the manor, he and you all recruited more than 2,000 people, and this time I and Meng Kang and Pei Xuan brought more than 3,000 people, of which more than 2,000 were young and strong."

It's just in time! Gu Haotian was excited again, among the two thousand people in Hebei, among the Zhuang Ding of Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, at least more than 3,000 people could be selected, and there were also five or six hundred people in Qingzhou and Yingshan in the teaching camp, so the number of escorts could be increased by 6,000 at once. What's even more gratifying is that now there is no need to worry about money and food, and no matter how many people there are, there are not too many people! At that moment he said happily:

"It's made Gongsun Daochang and the brothers of Yin Machuan work hard!"

"What hard work I have to wait for, it's all the work of the brothers in the past of the manor, no, my brothers can't interfere over there, but they came here to ask for an errand, and the little official has to give me something to do."

This time, Ma Ling said that the petty officials had invited Pei Xuan and Meng Kang to go to the manor to do things, and they couldn't think that there were many talents over there and there was still a place to use him, so they came over with Ruan Xiaowu's fleet, and Pei Xuan replied at this time, and took the opportunity to take the initiative to make a request.

Liangshan Manor now has seven battalions of sailors and hundreds of large and small ships, but no one is proficient in repairing and supervising, so he asked Brother Meng to be the deputy director of the logistics department to prepare for the construction of the shipbuilding workshop of the manor. Pei Xuan's brothers were born in the sixth case, and they were selfless, but they were a shortage of talents in the Manor Civil Affairs Department, and Director Zhao Ding was asking for it, so he asked for the deputy director of the Civil Affairs Department. I hope that the two brothers will not refuse. ”

Gu Haotian had already considered the arrangement of these two people, and had also communicated with Wen Huanzhang and Zhao Ding, so he announced it in public at this time.

And Meng Kang and Pei Xuan already knew something about the organization of the manor on the way, and originally thought that with their skills, it was reluctant to become a deputy battalion commander in the teaching team, but they didn't expect the petty officials to arrange them in such a position, and these two positions seemed to be tailor-made for them.

Everyone sitting there, seeing that the two of them were reused, congratulated one after another, and naturally set up wine at noon to celebrate.

Then a few days passed, until the end of October, when the last batch of supplies from Zhujiazhuang arrived at the Golden Beach Wharf. Gu Haotian took Wen Huanzhang, Zhao Ding, Lin Chong and other leaders at home to welcome them to the dock.

The battalions of soldiers and horses, and the captive Zhuang Ding had arrived in Liangshan in batches with the last round of supplies. Xu Guanzhong, Zhang Jiucheng, Lu Zhishen, and Xu Ning took Ruan Xiaoqi's boat and finally returned to the mountain.

As Gu Haotian shook hands with everyone at the dock one by one, the half-month rush of food and materials finally ended successfully, and Liangshan Manor successfully harvested the most lucrative income in history.

However, the busyness doesn't end there. The Finance Department and the Logistics Department dispatched a large number of people to make accurate statistics on the materials and food of the Zhu family, the General Staff Office and the Military Administration Department carried out strict re-screening of the prisoners and Zhuang Ding who entered the mountain, the Civil Affairs Department wanted to settle personnel, the Infrastructure Department wanted to expand the residence, and the training battalion had to welcome new soldiers.

It took several more days of hectic work to finally come up with results from all over the place.

In the first battle of Zhujiazhuang, a total of 670,000 stone of grain, 350,000 taels of gold and silver, and countless other materials such as jewelry, cloth, and weapons were obtained. More than 3,200 prisoners arrived at Liangshan, more than 2,400 qualified candidates were selected, and more than 1,000 people from Hujiazhuang Zhuang Ding joined the escort team. The remaining staff and their family members of more than 2,000 people were resettled by the District Affairs Department.

There are three new leaders, Luan Tingyu, Shi Xiu, Yang Xiong, and a business talent.

"After this incident, the number of Liangshan Manor's guards can reach 20,000, and the food can be supported for several years, and what is even more gratifying is that there are both civil and military talents, as long as the planning is appropriate, the imperial court's attack can be calmly dealt with."

Wen Huanzhang is the founding veteran of Liangshan Manor, and he has grown with the growth of the manor all the way, and he has enough confidence until this time.

When they heard this, they all had their own hearts.

"Liangshan is fat, the people are united, and the confidence is enough."

Gu Haotian suddenly felt full of confidence for a while.
