Comparing Liangshan's financial expenditures in the book, after a plunder: "Chao Gai and other leaders all went up to the cottage Juyi 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. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf both are average, who wants to be motivated, after all, it is a day of licking blood with a knife.

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.

Although the heroes of Liangshan will not be like this every day, they are hot-blooded men who do things that lose their heads, and these people must have wine at every meal, and they are not happy without meat. Let's just say that the three Ruan brothers are just rushing to drink and eat meat!

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......

When Wang Lun was in the original time and space, there were only five or seven hundred people in the cottage, but now there are three or four thousand. People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. If Yangsan wants to grow, this economic problem is a potential crisis.

Compared with the original work, Jiangzhou robbed the law field, and Song Jiang became the second in command after going to Liangshan, and the people and horses of Liangshan have developed greatly. The leadership had to rush for food, for example, Chao Gai did not approve of attacking Zhujiazhuang, but Song Jiang used "the number of people and horses in the cottage on the same day, and the lack of money and food" as the reason, Chao Gai could not say anything. It can be seen that Liangshan is seriously short of food, and Chao Gai knows that this is the top priority!

From Song Jiang's words, it can be roughly inferred that the number of cottagers when Liangshan attacked Zhujiazhuang. According to Song Jiang, if this village is defeated, there will be three or five years of grain. After laying down Zhujiazhuang, the Liangshan soldiers loaded all the excess grain and rice in Zhujiazhuang onto the car; gold and silver wealth, reward the generals of the three armies; The rest of the cattle, sheep, mules, horses, etc., will go to the mountains for use. Break Zhujiazhuang and get 500,000 stones. "In the Song Dynasty, one stone was about eighty kilograms, then, breaking Zhujiazhuang, Liangshan had 80 million catties of grain! Based on the calculation that the people and horses of Liangshan have eaten for three years, assuming that each person eats one pound per day, the people of Liangshan are about 8,000.

After that, the people of Liangshan expanded all the way, Erlong Mountain, Shaohua Mountain, Peach Blossom Mountain, Baihu Mountain, Mangdang Mountain, some three or five hundred people, some seven or eight hundred people, Mangdang Mountain is the largest, there are three thousand people, and the development of Liangshan is unbalanced.

Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng led the officers and troops into the group, so that Liangshan replenished the ordnance, and the combat effectiveness of the army was greatly improved. Liangshan attacked Zengtou City and dispatched nearly 20,000 troops, but with the large increase in the number of surrendered sergeants, Liangshan had more than 30,000 men and horses, and the grain and grass had been seriously unbalanced. Reaching the dilemma that the army had no overnight food, the Liangshan Group had no choice but to go down the mountain to borrow grain.

Successively attacked Gaotang Prefecture, Qingzhou, Dongping Mansion, Dongchang Mansion and Beijing Daimyo Mansion, each time Chengliang Mountain opened the treasury, and the due gold and silver treasures were loaded into the car; He also opened a warehouse, loaded the grain and rice into the car, and transported it to Liangshanbo for storage. The grain of Gaotang Prefecture, Qingzhou, Dongping Mansion and Dongchang Mansion is enough for 30,000 people and horses in Liangshan to eat for two years, and the Daimyo Mansion is an important town in the north of the Song Dynasty, with a lot of grain, and the people and horses of Liangshan can consume it for more than a year.

Therefore, economic crises often occurred in Liangshan in the three years after the attack on Qingzhou, and the leading group of Liangshan also recognized this grim situation, and did not take in the generals and surrender troops in the five anti-encirclement and suppression campaigns.

Song Jiang and Lu Junyi clearly knew that Liangshan's strength could not seize the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, and he had been a bandit for a long time and had no economic foundation, so he could not feed a large number of people and horses, and there were only two realistic ways out for Liangshan, one was to disintegrate without eating and drinking, and the other was to accept the imperial court's recruitment.

In the Juyi Hall, Zhu Wu heard Li Zhu talk about economic problems and food problems, and said: "Usually, the money and grain in the cottage mostly rely on robbing passing pedestrians and merchants, or going to nearby towns and villages to 'borrow grain'. As the saying goes, there is more help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust, this is not a long-term solution! The elder brother set the strategy of fighting local tyrants, but the strategy of dividing the land is to kill two birds with one stone. ”

Wang Lun nodded, and then said: "Agriculture is the foundation of life, and business is the foundation of life, both of which are indispensable!" I intend to continue to build fields around the lake and reclaim the hillsides for long-term use. In addition, when making wine through the cottage, you can also buy more, and you must have enough grain and grass for three years in the cottage! ”

There is a way that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and the problem of money and grain must be paid attention to! The peasant issue is fundamentally a land issue, and the land issue is, to put it bluntly, a question of food. If the farmers were full, it would not be easy to drive them up to Liangshan. Since these people have been able to go up to Liangshan, Wang Lun also has to solve the problem of eating for his subordinates.

At the moment, several leaders discussed and worked together to set up several income-generating measures. First, the original looting of the cottage is still the same, cracking down on corrupt officials and local tyrants and gentry. and so on, and so on, rob the state and plunder the government. But there is uncertainty about this initiative, and no one can predict how much loot can be looted in a year. So Wang Lun set a small goal, 100,000 taels of silver, 50,000 quintals of grain, and 10,000 horses of cloth.

The second is to buy fish, meat, eggs and milk, rice, flour, grain and oil, and launch all means to buy and sell, regardless of the cost. The grain is close to Shouzhang County and Yuncheng County, and there is a relationship between Chao Gai, and this matter is easy. It is Lu Junyi, the Daimyo Mansion, Cangzhou Chai Jin, and he can also use his connections to help when it is critical.

The third is self-reliance, 800 miles of water in Liangshan to reclaim land, fish and breeding, picking lotus root fruits, and so on. Wang Lun plans to grow the cottage to 10,000 people next year, and the cottage must be able to solve one-third of the personnel ration problem, and the next year it will be able to bear half of it. Each household, that is, 10 acres per ding, 100,000 people, 100,000 acres, per mu yield, according to the technical level and investment status at that time, how much can there be in a normal year? We estimate that the yield per mu of various grain crops and cash crops is difficult to exceed 600 liters, that is, 60 million liters (i.e. 600,000 quintals) per 100,000 mu per year - of course, this is a normal year, an ideal situation. There are about 40,000 people in the estate, and the daily consumption of grain is about 0.5 liters (the average estimate of large and small mouths, men and women, excluding melons and vegetables, etc.), 40,000 people consume 20,000 liters per day, 7.3 million liters per year, and 5.27 million liters of surplus grain per year, that is, 50,000 quintals of weakness.

Fourth, they purchased land and hired tenants. Wang Lun plans to purchase land in various parts of Shandong and send special personnel to operate it. When the goods are received, they will be shipped back to the cottage or re-sold, depending on the situation. After all, there are countless gold and silver in the cottage now, but the materials are scarce.

The fifth switch is set up to collect tolls along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and other waterways within the Liangshan sphere of influence. Regardless of gold or silver goods, one out of ten. I am afraid that this behavior will attract the attention of the government, no matter how much it is still planned.

The sixth is to carry out trade, Liangshan has the relationship of Cangzhou Chai Jin, and Liangshan can carry out trade. For example, shochu, which is about to be launched, can be sold. Zhu Wu was in charge of the northwest, Li Zhu was in charge of Hebei, Zhu Gui was in charge of Shandong, and Shi Bao was in charge of the south. Then there are medicinal herbs, salt and iron, and silk fabrics are also a profitable business. There are still talents like Yang Lin and Deng Fei in the cottage, and they can go to the "Northland" to buy horses. The so-called "Northland" is the Jin Kingdom, Liao Kingdom and other places, there are many good horses on the northern grasslands, which are just communicating with the Central Plains, and can also strengthen the people and horses of Liangshan.

In trade, Wang Lun valued the salt and iron business the most, both of which had been controlled by the imperial court since ancient times and regarded as meat. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu relied on the salt and iron monopoly. The prosperous Tang Dynasty of Tang Xuanzong also has a lot of credit for Liu Yan's salt and iron.

In order to increase fiscal revenue, each dynasty and generation has extremely strict control over salt, after all, the people cannot eat without salt. The imperial court stipulated that except for the officially approved salt farms, people in other areas were not allowed to make their own salt and sell salt privately, and violators were punished with severe punishments. Huang Chao in the Tang Dynasty was a smuggler of salt, as well as Yang Mi during the Five Dynasties.

Since the Great Song Dynasty implemented the salt money law, merchants were allowed to sell official salt. Merchants can go to Kaifeng to pay cash to receive salt banknotes, and the salt banknotes indicate the place and quantity of official salt, and the merchants can go to the corresponding salt service to receive official salt with the salt money in their hands.

Dengzhou, Mizhou, Haizhou in Shandong, and Binzhou near Hebei Province all have sea salt farms, which produce a large amount of official salt every day. There are also Zizhou Laiwu Supervisor, Xuzhou Liguo Supervisor, there are many iron ore iron materials, Wang Lun and others can take it, the iron ore hoarded here as their own, can greatly alleviate the economic crisis of the cottage.

Although Liangshan's strength is not small now, it has to pass through the state and the government, and it is still not enough to attack these places. However, salt has always been a profiteering industry, and private salt still cannot be banned, such as Li Jun, Mu Hong and others in Jiangzhou are illegal salt dealers, and Wang Lun can start here.
