Chapter 66: The Emperor's Gift to the People of China

When Lin Chong summoned all the major merchants who had business dealings with Liang Shanjun, as well as representatives of landlords and gentry in various states and counties on Jingdong Road, to give them a great fortune.

At the same time, the same news also spread in Jeju and Yunju counties, towns, and villages.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I, Liang Shanjun, have gathered everyone, but there are two things to announce! First, the Goryeo Peninsula was originally the land of my Huaxia Jizi to go to the country, the four counties of Dahan Lelang, Xuansu, Zhenfan, Lintun, the Tang Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Xiongjin Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which have been invaded and occupied by Silla for more than 400 years!

Zhao and Song were incompetent and could not recover their homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties...... And the Goryeo royal clan brutalized and harmed the people...... Today, our Liangshan army has risen to the rank of rebels, and has destroyed the Goryeo puppet dynasty in one fell swoop, captured the Wang puppet emperor alive, rescued millions of suffering people, and recovered all the Han and Tang homelands on the Andong Peninsula! ”

As soon as everyone heard the news, you also looked at me, and I looked at you, and their eyes were full of incredible shock.

For most of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the peasants and ordinary people in the countryside, it doesn't matter whether the land of Goryeo was the homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties more than 400 years ago.

The first thing they are interested in is - Wo Groove, the Liangshan Army is too powerful, it actually conquered Western Xia and Goryeo at the same time, and won both battles, and destroyed these two countries at the same time!

Think about the four major rebellions that are becoming more and more fierce in Hedong, Jingxi, Jiangnan and Hebei that are spreading all over Jingdong during this period of time (Song Jiang has just recruited An, and the news is not so fast).

Compared with the two, the dignified Song Dynasty court and the Liangshan army are simply waste.

Of course, for most Chinese people, especially the people of Jingdong Road, who are deeply favored by the Liangshan Army, they are naturally a little proud and proud when they hear that the Liangshan Army has gained prestige overseas and recovered the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, which has been lost for more than 400 years.

But it was only a little excited for a moment, and even some readers subconsciously ridiculed - a group of martial artists are just a group of martial artists, what is there to show off?

But soon the second news came out, and almost everyone was not so calm.

"The second piece of news is that you may not know that there is a strait called the Whale River (present-day Korean Strait) between the southernmost part of the former Goryeo Kingdom and the Kyushu Island of the Wa Kingdom, and there is a sea to the north of the Whale River called the Whale Sea (Note 1)!

You may not know that there are countless whales in this whale river and whale sea, especially the whales in the whale river, so many that you can almost step on the back of the whale to go ashore!

You may not know that the whales there weigh 1,000 stones, at least 1,000 stones (one stone is about 60 kilograms, 1,000 stones is 60 tons, and the largest blue whale in later generations weighs 177 tons), more than 10 zhang long, and the small ones weigh 100 stones! And there are as many whales there as there are stars in the sky! ”

Everyone was already stupid, for them who had never been to the sea, it was really hard to imagine that there could be such a huge creature in the world.

A thousand stones weigh and more than ten zhang long!

Oh, my God......

You must know that a bull in the prime of life weighs at most ten stones, doesn't that mean that a whale weighs a hundred cows?

Moreover, the people of Liangshanjun also said that there are many whales in the whale river, which are like stars in the sky, and people can even step on the back of the whale and go ashore!

It's incredible, isn't it?

Just when everyone was still in this huge shock and didn't come back to their senses, they listened to the staff of the Liangshan Army continue: "My military master had a dream the day before yesterday, and in the dream, the Emperor of Heaven said to my military master that this whale river and the whales in the whale sea are the blessings that the Emperor of Heaven has given to the people of China, and he ordered the master of my family to hunt more whales for the benefit of the people of China!" ”

Speaking of the pre-Qin dynasty to the Braided Dynasty, perhaps because most of the rulers like to use the policy of fooling the people; Maybe it's because of the underdevelopment of science and technology, in short, many times people are always superstitious.

Not to mention these people from Jingdong Road, let's just say that the soldiers of the Liangshan Army, when they heard that Lin Chong was going to organize people to go to the Whale River and the Whale Sea to hunt whales, many people were frightened and said - the whale is so big, isn't it the mount of the Dragon King? Aren't you afraid that the dragon king will blame them for killing them?

After these ideas were fed back to Lin Chong, Lin Chong couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly asked all the instructors and instructors to explain to them that in fact, whales are similar to cattle and sheep on land, but they are relatively large.

However, it is easy to explain to the soldiers of the Liangshan Army, but it is not so easy to explain to the common people.

At this time, Lin Chong remembered what Hu Sanniang told him about Lin Chiyou, and the people nearby took him as the master of the army.

Lin Chong thought about it, so he had the saying that he dreamed of the Emperor of Heaven and that the Emperor of Heaven blessed the people of China, so as to eliminate the people's fear of whales.

"You may not know that this whale is full of treasures, first of all, whale oil, which is used for lighting, brighter than the best candles, and there is no smoke at all, in addition to whale oil can also be processed into candles, refined into antifreeze cream.

Whale meat can be eaten and tastes similar to beef; Whale bones can be processed into bone meal, which is the best fertilizer; The whale's cod liver can also be refined into cod liver oil, which has the effect of brightening the eyes and warming and strengthening the muscles and bones; If you can get ambergris, it is the top spice, and a small piece is worth a hundred gold......

The head of our family said that by the will of Emperor Heaven, the Liangshan army would vigorously develop the whaling industry from now on (Note 2), and recruit a large number of workers to go to the Whale River to hunt whales, decompose whale meat, and refine whale oil. If you are willing to go again, hurry up and sign up, the treatment is good!

The specific treatment is, there is a skill, as a sailor, will not be seasick, can work on the whaling ship, each person monthly basic salary of at least ten silver horns, and then according to the number of whaling, whether there is a performance salary for serious work, as long as you do a good job, each person can not run with fifteen silver horns per month!

As for those who work in the whale processing workshop on the island, the wages will be less, but there are also six or seven silver horns, and they include food and shelter, and all kinds of seafood ,......."

When everyone heard this, their whole bodies became hot with excitement, and some people immediately shouted: "Prisoner, there is such a good thing, I will sign up for one!" ”

"I'm going too, I don't know where to sign up?"

"I have been fishing for a living since I was a child, although I have never been to the sea, and the water is also famous in Yuncheng County, I don't know if I can work on a whaling ship?"

No wonder they are so excited, Chinese's pursuit of a better life has always been innate.

Liang Shanjun's salary is so high, even if he divides whale meat on the island and refines whale oil, he can save seven silver horns every month, that is, seven pounds of copper, a year is eighty-four pounds of copper, and more than eight taels of gold!

You must know that two or three years ago, when there was no Liang Shanjun, even if there were medium-sized families in Jingdong, their monthly income was only more than 3,000 yuan, and they still had their own, so there was basically not much money left.

Now working for Liang Shanjun, he can earn 7,000 Wenzu copper every month, which is equivalent to twice the monthly income of the whole family in previous years, what is there not to be satisfied with?

Moreover, in the past year, the Liangshan Army has benefited the people of the two states, and almost all families have benefited from it, and their lives have become more prosperous and better.

The credibility of the Liangshan Army is in the two states of Ji and Yun, and even in the entire Jingdong River North Road.

Since Liang Shanjun's people promised everyone that they could earn at least seven or eight pieces of silver every month, they would definitely not lie to everyone.

What else do you have to worry about?

On the other side, in Shuibo Nancheng, all the merchants and representatives of the landlords and squires were also very excited after listening to Lin Chong's speech, and they all said: Since Liang Shanjun is so good, take everyone to vigorously develop the whaling industry and make a fortune with us, we are naturally happy and grateful!

Note 1: The Whale Sea is the later generation of the Wa Guohai, Tang Ma Dai's poem "Farewell to the Northerners": "The wild goose passes and the snow flies, and the whale sea falls into the clouds." Song Yang Yi's poem "Self-dispatch to the county at the end of the year": "The earth will connect the whale sea, and the road will be credited to Fengcheng." ”
