After Yang Zhi left, Liang Shanchao covered everyone, but he was very busy. I got familiar with all the things in Liangshan as soon as possible.

It took a few days for Chao Gai to understand all the major and minor affairs of this Liangshan. However, it was only at this time that Chao Gai found that the Liangshan he had taken over now was a complete mess.

On this Liang Mountain, there are no rules at all, and all the minions are free and loose, but it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a rabble. Most of the minions think that they can sit back and relax when they go up the mountain, and gather to gamble when they have nothing to do, without the slightest sense of duty, let alone any combat effectiveness.

The most important thing at the moment is that the logistics reserves of Naliangshan are seriously insufficient. The treasury was stretched thin with gold and silver, and the treasury was almost empty. And the private property stored by Wang Lun, Du Qian, and Song Wan was actually several times as much as the vault.

What is even more deadly is the pitiful amount of grain and rice in the stockpile. According to Wu Yong's preliminary estimate, with the consumption of nearly 200 people in Liangshan today, two meals a day is only enough for three days.

Even, Wu Yong secretly thought to himself, even if there were no of them on the mountain this time, with the current situation of Liangshan, it would be difficult to survive five days. If you don't go to raid houses and houses at that time, you will only be scattered as birds and beasts.

In the Juyi Hall, Chao Gai and others sat down in turn. According to everyone's wishes, Chao Gai sat on the chair of the owner of the village without any suspense. Wu Yong, Lin Chong, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi sat down in turn, and each made a hand.

"Brother, now the cottage is short of money and food, but it is an urgent need."

Wu Yong's face was full of sadness, looking at Chao Gai with an anxious expression. Chao Gai asked him to be the big housekeeper now, he felt a great responsibility, but the reality gave him a blow to the head.

Although Chao Gai waved his hand before and directly confiscated all the private treasury of Wang Lun and the others, what is more urgent now is food. At this time, Wu Yong felt that it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Hearing this, Chao Gai also nodded approvingly. He really couldn't figure out how this Wang Lun was in charge. According to his investigation, there are many minions on this Liangshan Mountain, and they have never seen half a month's money. Most of the minions' money comes from robbing homes.

worked hard, but there was no half a month's money. If there is no food now, the consequences will be absolutely incalculable.

After a long silence, Chao Gai made a decision. First of all, a part of the grain and rice from his own village was transferred to the emergency, and then all the finances of his village were transported to the cottage in batches.

"Brother think twice", Wu Yongyi heard that Chao Gai wanted to transport all his family wealth to Liangshan, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade:

"Chao Jiazhuang is the result of the hard work of my elder brother's ancestors for several generations, if my brother transports all the furniture to Liangshan for expenses, how should my brother face the ancestors of the Chao family? ”

"What the pedant said is extremely true", Lin Chong also dissuaded at this time: "My brother is the master of the cottage, how can I let my brother lose his family property." I'll wait for my brother to find another way to turn around."

"Now the fire is burning his brows", Chao Gai shook his head: "For a while, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a good plan." What's more, now that I am the lord of Liangshan, I don't contribute to this matter, but who will I treat? ”

Seeing Chao Gai say this, Wu Yong and Lin Chong sighed. As the saying goes, a penny is hard for a hero. Chao Gai is right, at the moment, it is extremely difficult to raise a large amount of rice and grain for Liangshan. If it is a robbery, it may be possible, but Chao Gai will never do it.

It's really not a home, I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.

Chao Gai sighed in his heart. Fortunately, I still have some family wealth, otherwise, I really don't know what to do right now. Thinking of this, Chao Gai made a decision:

"Today I went to Zhuang with the scholar and the three Ruan brothers, Lin Jiaotou sat on the mountain, and the village is also some distance from Liangshan, the so-called wealth is not exposed, and the three Ruan brothers must take care of it."

Hearing this, Lin Chong and San Ruan hurriedly agreed. Only Wu shook the feather fan lightly, with a deep groan. After a while, Wu Yong looked at Chao Gai and spoke:

"Brother, in the opinion of the younger brother, it is better to be hidden at this time, so as not to attract the attention of the government, but it is troublesome."

Hearing this, Chao Gai was stunned: yes, how did he almost forget this stubble.

Although it is true that those family properties are their own, but now they can carry a name for themselves as a grasshopper. What's more, he is a well-known family in these ten miles and eight villages, and he attracts attention on weekdays.

At present, a few of them have seized Liangshan, although there is not much movement, but if they swagger to transport goods and food, I am afraid that it will inevitably provoke ears and eyes. If it arouses the attention of the government, it is difficult to argue.

Thinking of this, Chao Gai suddenly remembered a name - Song Jiang. Immediately understood what Wu Yong really meant, and thought that Wu Yong was reminding himself to guard against that Song Jiang.

When I came to the world of this Water Margin, I haven't seen Song Jiang yet. However, according to his own recollections, Song Jiang was at odds with him before. If he finds out this time, with that person's black-bellied personality, he will inevitably make a big fuss.

Moreover, Song Jiang's two sworn friends, the beautiful bearded prince Zhu Tong and the winged tiger Lei Heng, have always obeyed Song Jiang's orders. If Song Jiangcheng gives himself a look, he is an official, I am a bandit, and if he wants to come and occupy a rational word, he will naturally not be afraid of me. If this matter is big and the whole city knows about it, reflecting on its passivity, I am afraid that it will attract the government to chase and suppress it at that time.

It seems that it is necessary to beware of the black Song Jiang now.

Thinking of this, Chao Gai couldn't help but glance at Wu Yong again, and cast an appreciative look at Wu Yong. At this time, he felt that this Wu Yong seemed to have really entered the role.

"The pedantic brother is reasonable", Chao Gai immediately said: "This matter should not be made of great fanfare. Fearlessly, they act at night. For the sake of insurance, tonight the scholar and the virtuous brother will sit on the mountain, and I, Lin Jiaotou, and the three Ruan family brothers will go to the village, and the Zhu Gui brothers will continue to meet at the hotel at the foot of the mountain."

"In addition, there is another thing", speaking of this, Chao Gai then looked at the three heroes of the Ruan family: "Now that our brothers and other brothers live in Liangshan, the brothers of the Ruan family should also go to take the eldest mother to the mountain, firstly, to prevent the incident from happening, affecting the eldest mother, and secondly, to let his old man enjoy the blessings."

"Shicai was about to mention this matter to his brother", Ruan Xiaoer stood up and said with a smile: "Now that I have my brother's approval, I will go down the mountain when I wait for this, pick up my mother and family, and return in half a day, just in time."

San Ruan said goodbye to Chao Gai, walked out of the Juyi Hall, and hurried down the mountain. At this time, Zhu Gui also got up to say goodbye and went down the mountain to make preparations first.

Chao Gai saw Sanruan and Zhu Gui leaving, and looked at the empty Juyi Hall now, only Wu Yong, Lin Chong and himself were left, and suddenly let out a heartfelt sigh:

"It seems that in addition to the logistics problem, this talent problem also needs to be solved urgently."

Seeing Chao Gai sighing like this, Wu Yong's heart suddenly became hot, and he hugged his fists and said to Chao Gai above: "Now that it is the time of the cottage to employ people, the younger brother used to have two friends. Xiao Rang, a scholar called the Holy Hand, is good at calligraphy and can write all kinds of fonts; The other is called Jin Dajian, a jade arm craftsman, this person is also a unique in the Central Plains, with a long carving, a good inscription, and ten miles and eight villages also know his fame. These two people have the ability to cover the world, but no one appreciates them, so they only end up with joints and jobs to make a living. ”

"It's just these two people, but the gun and stick kung fu is mediocre, if the king brother does not give up, when this is the case, the younger brother will go to Jeju for a walk, and it will be said that the two of them will come."

Hearing this, Chao Gai was immediately overjoyed. It turned out to be these two. Chao Gai knows very well that in his cottage now, it is relatively easy to recruit some leaders with strong martial arts. Because these people generally attach importance to love and righteousness, and attach importance to the righteousness of the rivers and lakes. Moreover, the military generals of the Song Dynasty were suppressed by Wenchen for a long time, and their relatively low positions were also low.

However, it is much more difficult to recruit some well-educated people. Not to mention that under the policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, the low position of civil servants is relatively high. It is even more because these people are generally full of loyal thoughts, and they are indeed extremely stubborn. For such a cottage as himself, he looked down on it from the bottom of his heart, let alone said that he was going to join the gang.

What's more, if Liangshan wants to maintain its operation, it is unrealistic to rely only on some martial arts. There are some things in heaven that Wenchen does, and there is an old saying: you can win the world immediately, but you can't control the world immediately.

"The pedant is so cautious", Chao Gai laughed and said: "Xiao Rang, a scholar of the Holy Hand, and Jin Dajian, a jade arm craftsman, these two are both handsome people, and I Chao Gai has also been famous for a long time. These two people asked the pedant, and let the two heroes enter my cottage."

At dusk. The breeze suddenly rose, blowing away the gloomy clouds in the air, revealing most of the sunset. The golden light shines down, shrouding the entire Liangshan in the afterglow, which is a wonderful scene.

Chao Gai went in person, and after settling Sanruan's mother, he didn't stay much, and after a while, he went down the mountain with Lin Chong and Sanruan. At the foot of Liangshan, Zhu Gui has been here for a long time. Chao Gai instructed again, and without resting, he and Lin Chong rode horses towards Chaojiazhuang.

Rao is Chao Gai already knew that his family had a big business, and the Chao family had a solid foundation, which was the result of the hard work of several generations of the Chao family. When he learned from Fu Bo's mouth, after counting the furniture, there were no less than 80,000 taels of grain, and about 200,000 taels of gold, silver, and money. This is not counting some real estate in the name of the Chao family, such as houses, land, and so on.

Chao Gai heard Fubo's words, and suddenly felt that the world was spinning. Since he came back to Yang, he only knew that he was a rich man known from far and near, but he never thought that he would have such huge financial resources. It was Lin Chong and the other four people, who also took a big breath when they heard this tree.

Seeing such an astonishing figure, Chao Gai was overjoyed at first. With these reserves, it is also enough for Liangshan's expenses for a period of time. In an instant, a look of worry appeared on Chao Gai's face.

Chao Gai suddenly thought that such a huge amount of family property was just food, and it was by no means something that could be transported in one night, not to mention a large amount of gold and silver money that was even more eye-catching. Even if it's just a night delivery, it will definitely attract the attention of others.

It seems that there is no better way to do it right now. Chao Gai thought hard to no avail, and immediately ordered the transfer of gold and silver to begin.

With enough food for three days, the transportation of gold and silver became a priority. Although food is precious, gold and silver are more able to lure the devil in people's hearts. In case it was detected by the government, Chao Gai would not dare to gamble, and those officials and soldiers would not be moved when they saw the gold and silver. In case a large number of officers and soldiers come, he will be powerless even if he has three heads and six arms.

Now we can only rush for time.

After seeing each other for a short time, the ten carriages that had temporarily gathered in the village were filled with large chests full of gold and silver, and taking advantage of the night, Ruan Xiaoer returned to the cottage at a great speed, and then transferred another man and horse to come. Taking advantage of tonight, the incident happened suddenly, and it should not be possible to be discovered, so try to transport as many as possible.

Looking at the night, carriages full of gold and silver drove out, but Chao Gai had an indescribable feeling in his heart:

Obviously he was transporting his own property, but now he is like a thief.

It's really a joke in the world!
