On the Juyi Hall, Lin Chong took the roster and read: "There are now more than 1,700 people in the cottage, and there are more than 1,200 people left after removing the old and weak, young and strong and capable of fighting. and a hundred and fifty-seven horses. ”

Deng Long interrupted Lin Chong's words and asked Lin Chong strangely: "There are more than one hundred and thirty war horses brought from Erlong Mountain alone, is it possible that there are only a dozen horses in the huge Liangshan?" ”

Wang Lun interjected embarrassedly: "Brother doesn't know, Liangshan used to have more than 200 war horses, but in order to build a cottage, some were sold. The rest of the war horses! 'Ahem' was used as a pack horse, and after a long time, it was no longer a war horse. ”

Taking a big breath, suppressing the thought of beating Wang Lun, Deng Long pretended to be indifferent and said to Wang Lun: "The pack horse can also come in handy, by the way, how much grain and grass are there in the cottage." ”

Now it was Wang Lun's turn, with dark circles under his eyes, he shook his sleeves, took out the account book from his arms, and read proudly: "In addition to the more than 200 stones of grain and grass brought by my brother, there are now more than 2,800 stones in the cottage, which is enough for the cottage for half a year." Other forage, more than 5,000 stones of coarse grains, more than 3,000 catties of bacon and dried fruits. There are more than 600 knives, more than 2,000 spears, 83 bows, more than 10,000 arrows, hehe, and more than 1,000 acres of fertile land cultivated by the cottage in the past two years. ”

Deng Long looked at Wang Lun a little speechlessly, judging from these things, this guy really planned to be a mountain king in Liangshan for a lifetime! But now these things belong to me.

Thinking of this, Deng Long praised: "Well, my brother is really a good family!" But our brothers can't nest in the cottage for a lifetime and be a turtle with a shrunken head for the rest of their lives! Lin Jiaotou's revenge has not been avenged, Yang Zhi makes it difficult to pay for his ambitions, and it is impossible for other brothers to stay in the cottage for the rest of their lives and be thieves for a lifetime, right? ”

Lin Chong's heart warmed slightly, he couldn't imagine that his brother was still thinking about his own affairs, and he secretly made up his mind that he would definitely live up to his brother's kindness in this life.

Yang Zhi also felt warm in his heart, although he had been displaced in the past two years and had no fixed place to live. Now it is even more grassy, but when I think of the glory of my ancestors, I inevitably feel a faint pain in my heart.

Deng Long looked at the various changes on the faces of these people, and his heart was happy, sometimes a heart-warming word can achieve unexpected results!

Lu Zhishen said indifferently: "Brother, gossip is so much. The Sprinkle family still wants to lead a group of children to play, you should hurry up and arrange it for me! ”

"Well, Ti Zhi reminds me that this way, Brother Zhu Gui will pick a hundred people first, remember to pick some clever ones, and wait for dispatch in the cottage."

Zhu Gui joked: "Brother, don't worry, I won't rob people with Sect Leader Lin and Lu Tishi." "After that, I'm going to pick someone.

Zhu Gui's witty words attracted everyone's laughter and scolding, Lin Chong shook his head and smiled: "What are you doing so fast, you can get cheap and sell good guys." ”

Deng Long also smiled and said: "Brother, don't be anxious, the next step is your Ma Jun." Well, there are not many war horses in the cottage now, so you can pick two hundred people, two people and one horse, train first, and keep the rest of the horses for the big and small leaders to ride, and when you have horses in the future, it is good to expand the horse army. ”

Lin Chong stood up and said with a smile: "Brother is in charge, I'll pick people first, so as not to be picked by Brother Zhu Gui." With that, he strode out.

At this time, Lu Zhishen was really anxious, stood up and hurriedly said to Deng Long: "Brother, you should hurry up and arrange it!" In order to avoid that when you get it, there are only some yellow-faced and thin people left, and they are an eyesore to see. ”

Deng Long said with a smile: "What's the hurry, Lin Jiaotou is a cavalryman, and he wants someone with a well-proportioned body and a coordinated body, who is robbing you of?" Okay, let's not talk to you, let's choose 300 infantry first. ”

Lu Zhishen didn't reply, and hurriedly ran to the school to pick people. Yang Zhi is not in a hurry, waiting for the others to finish picking people, and the rest is not all his own.

The three of them returned to the Juyi Hall one after another, but Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen's clothes were covered with mud, as if something had happened. However, Deng Long knew that the two had a deep relationship, so he pretended not to see it.

Seeing the three of them seated, Deng Long asked Wang Lun to give all the Pu knives to Lu Zhishen, bows, arrows, and spears to Yang Zhi, and the sabers needed by Lin Chong's cavalry, a total of less than 20 sabers, which needed to be made by the blacksmiths of the cottage. He also told Wang Lun to give the battalions the grain and grass needed for the month to the leaders of the battalions. After everything was arranged, Zhu Gui was asked to stay, and the others went to rectify their own people.

Looking at the more than 100 people in front of him, Deng Long nodded. In the end, it is the old fritters in the rivers and lakes, these more than 100 people, all of them belong to the public faces in the crowd and cannot be found.

I watched a lot of various spy war movies in my previous life, and now it comes in handy. Some of the common sense he knows, whether Zhu Guili understands it or not, tell Zhu Gui about it. It wasn't until Zhu Gui began to scratch his head that Deng Long stopped. After a little relief, Deng Long asked Zhu Gui to pick two people to come to the Juyi Hall to listen to the dispatch.

Zhu Gui took Liu Er and Wang San to Juyi Hall and asked, "I don't know what my brother has sent." ”

Deng Long called Zhu Gui and quietly arranged for the three of them. Liu Er and Wang San nodded, and said, "Don't worry, the owner of the village, our brothers will go." ”

When the two walked out of the hall, they said to Zhu Gui again: "You are now in charge of the inquiry of the cottage, the hotel under the mountain can't be left unattended, do you have someone in mind to take care of the hotel under the mountain?" ”

Zhu Gui said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I have written a letter the day before yesterday, and I will go to Yishui County to ask my younger brother Zhu Fu to come to Liangshan to take over the hotel under the mountain, and I will arrive tomorrow." ”

Deng Long instructed: "I won't ask about the previous things, and in the future, the hotel under the mountain will only be responsible for taking care of the passing caravans and welcoming the heroes who come to my Liangshan to join the gang." ”

Zhu Gui rarely lowered his head and replied; "Brother, rest assured, in the past, it was the deputy owner of the Wang Village who did such an embarrassing thing in order to deter the surrounding government, and now the cottage is twice as strong as before, even if the government comes to encircle and suppress the cottage, I am afraid that there will be no return."

Deng Long was really happy in his heart, he originally just wanted to promote Zhu Gui, who was the elder of the two dynasties, who would have thought that he could get such a talent, and he could do everything satisfactorily and properly. I can't imagine what kind of energy can burst out in the future, Chao Gai and Song Heizi are really blind!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The speed of the fusion of the two mountains is faster than Deng Long imagined, but after three or five days, he wandered around Liangshan in twos, threes, and threes, and when he saw the scene in front of him, Deng Long breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and said, "Are you still used to it in Liangshan?"

"As long as the senior brother is there, Qingyuan can feel at ease."

Sighing, Deng Long said: "We are no longer monks, let's go to the Dharma name, you will have my surname in the future, just call Deng Qing." ”

Qingyuan grew up in Baozhu Temple and didn't have any family. When he was young, the master took care of him, and after the master passed away, Deng Long took care of him, and he never suffered for seventeen years. In his heart, Deng Long is his own brother, when he heard that Deng Long changed his name, his heart inevitably felt slightly sour, will the senior brother still be a senior brother in the future?

Deng Long seemed to see through Qingyuan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "In the future, you will call me eldest brother, you will be my Deng Long's own brother, and my child's second uncle in the future." ”

The tears in Qingyuan's eyes still couldn't hold back, they flowed down, and said in a trembling voice: "Big brother, I will be Deng Qing in the future, your own brother." ”

Deng Long wiped away Deng Qing's tears, and said angrily: "You're already an adult, don't cry at every turn." You and my brother have average martial arts, and the kitchen of the cottage will be managed by you in the future, which can be regarded as an experience. ”

Deng Qing nodded and agreed to go to the kitchen to do something. Wang Lun said with a smile on the side: "Xiaoqing is a clever child at first glance, brother don't worry, I will often guide Xiaoqing in the future." ”

Wang Lun, who completely put aside the past, is now the most popular fragrant dumpling in Liangshan, and no matter who sees Wang Lun, the cottage is obedient and enthusiastic. Wang Lun was happy in it, he was busy with his own things every day, running around the mountains, and he didn't put up a fight when he saw anyone, he greeted him with a happy smile, and he lived very comfortably.

Deng Long said with a smile as he walked: "When did you learn to pat on the back, but it made me a little unaccustomed." ”

Wang Lun smiled: "This is not all the blessing of my brother, I used to sleep in bed, and I was worried that someone else would take the position of the owner of the village, and I was not as happy as the horses in the cottage." Now after doing your own thing, sit down with your brothers to have a little wine, chat about some interesting things in the rivers and lakes, and sleep peacefully at night! ”

"Sometimes it seems like a loss, but there is more to gain than to lose." Deng Long said thoughtfully.

Wang Lun answered, walked to a courtyard and introduced: "Brother, the weapons of the cottage are all made from here. ”

At this time, a man in shorts and a bad shirt walked out. Wang Lun pulled the man over and said to Deng Long: "This is the steward here, Li Dazhui, who used to strike iron in Jeju and made a mistake. I fell to the grass in Liangshan. I saw that he was good at his workmanship, so I sent some men to be the stewards of the foundry. ”

Perhaps the first time he saw Deng Long, Wang Dazhui seemed a little restrained, and he didn't know where to put his two hands. Deng Long said gently: "Brother Sledgehammer is really hard work, and you will have to worry a lot about this cottage weapon in the future." ”

Wang Dazhui hurriedly replied: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." That's what I'm supposed to do. ”

Deng Long asked, "How many people are there here now, and how many weapons can be built every day?" ”

After thinking for a while, Wang Dazhui replied: "There are now more than 30 people in the foundry room, including classmates and apprentices. If you build a spear, you can make more than 20 shots. The craftsmanship of Pu knife is complicated, and only less than ten can be produced every day. ”

Deng Long thought for a moment, the spear only needed to make the iron into a pointed end, while the two-section handle of the Pu knife required some effort, not to mention the blade. Picked up a saber that had just been made, the blade was less than three fingers, three feet long, and flicked it with his fingers, and the crisp sound should be pointed up.

"How many of these sabers can be made per day?"

"Because the saber blade is too narrow, the material required must be 100 steel. In the past few days, less than five have been made, and when I have practiced my hands, I want to be able to produce more than 20 finished products every month. Wang Dazhui saw that Deng Long didn't have any fights, and his courage gradually grew a lot.

Deng Long nodded and said to Wang Lun: "In the future, there will be more and more people in the cottage, and the casting room must be expanded. ”

Wang Lun took out a notebook and wrote it down, took Deng Long to the farmland, pointed to a thatched house and said: "This place was originally barren, and in the past three years, farmers have come to Liangshan to settle down because they can't pay the agricultural taxes of the imperial court. I saw that those old and weak had nothing to do on weekdays, so I let them open up the wasteland and farm, but I didn't want to reclaim more than 1,000 acres of fertile land, and the food they grew on weekdays was almost enough for the cottage to eat. ”

sighed in his heart for Wang Lun, who was about to die, what kind of person this is, compared to Song Heizi, who killed hundreds of innocent people for a Qin Ming, Wang Lun is now a saint in Deng Long's heart!
