The New Year is approaching, and on this day, the people outside the park found that Liangshan minions began to put up lights in an open space by the park.

After months of getting along, the victims also knew that Liangshan was kind, and they all crowded to watch.

A sister-in-law walked up to a minions who were erecting pillars and asked, "Big brother, what are you doing here?" ”

While busy with the work in hand, the minion said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone can't go back to their hometown, Leader Shi asked us to arrange here to add some New Year's weather to everyone." During the Chinese New Year, everyone can come here to watch the lights, and the cottage also buys many fireworks. ”

The sister-in-law praised: "Leader Shi is really a living Bodhisattva, who has saved millions of people and done so many things for everyone. ”

At its peak, more than 600,000 people lived in Bowai, but there was also a movement of victims, so people say that Shi Jin saved millions of people.

Speaking of Shi Jin, the minions immediately stood in awe and said, "If you talk about Leader Shi, it is really unparalleled in benevolence." Yesterday, the leaders discussed in the Juyi Hall for a day, and finally the leader Shi decided to borrow money from the cottage brothers for disaster relief first, and when the disaster passed, the cottage would fight the big households and repay the money to the cottage brothers. ”

A posterior was curious: "Why wait for the disaster to pass before hitting a big household?" ”

The minions said: "Leader Shi said, I'm afraid that it will be big now, and the imperial court will send soldiers and horses to fight the cottage, and then everyone will have nowhere to go, I heard that many people are freezing and starving to death in all state capitals now." ”

Hearing this, the sister-in-law was moved and said: "Leader Shi is really a living Bodhisattva, and he thinks so much about everyone. ”

An old man sighed: "If those officials can be like Leader Shi, we don't have to leave our hometown to survive." Thanks to the heroes of Liangshan, many people starved to death when the famine in the early years came out. This year, however, no one died of starvation in our village. ”

"If we flee to other places, we will starve to death. The hearts of the current officials are all black. The food for disaster relief was deducted, and our county began to put some porridge, but later it turned into water, and everyone couldn't stand it, so they escaped. ”

Disaster relief is not only about food, Shi Jin asked Gongsun Sheng to buy a lot of food, but after the victims gathered, it would cost to build a house, add clothes and quilts, etc.

Although the people of the Money and Grain Division are careful in their calculations, the cottage treasury is still at the bottom.

We must continue to provide disaster relief. The cottage must come out with gold and silver again, and after discussing with the leaders yesterday, Shi Jin finally decided to suspend the use of troops and borrow money from Qian Zhuang first.

Shi Jin has the thinking of later generations, and he came out of Qianzhuang, in addition to reducing the disputes between cottage soldiers, but also thinking about commercial operation in the future, so this time he also thought of borrowing money from Qianzhuang.

In the past, the cottage got gold and silver, and took forty percent into the warehouse. Three ingredients for everyone, except for a few people who spend nothing, most people still save a lot, and the money bank also has hundreds of thousands of yuan. Borrowing money from a bank can really be a matter of urgency.

On the day of the Spring Festival, the victims' meals were also changed to white rice, and each person was given a piece of fish. It's not much, but it's meat.

After the victims gathered. The sailors have been fishing, but the surface of the dock has frozen. Although the sailors and victims continue to break the ice and fish, the fish caught are still getting fewer and fewer.

On weekdays, some fish are also included in the porridge distributed by the victims, but it is good luck to see a piece once in a while.

In order for everyone to be able to get fish and meat today, Liangshan has also accumulated for a while, but fortunately, the weather is cold, and after catching fish, it can be frozen everywhere.

In the evening, the people outside the berth gathered at the berth to watch the lanterns.

The lanterns hung by Liangshan were hung for more than a mile, and the fireworks bought by Liangshan were also set off for half an hour, so that the victims could see enough.

Of course, behind this excitement, Liangshan's infantry to maintain order was busy with their feet not touching the ground.

In the first month of the fifth year of Zhenghe, the emperor canonized the crown prince and issued a pardon, which should have been committed by the people, and the first degree of discipline was reduced, which was also one of the few benevolent policies.

The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the victims who are far away from Bowai have also begun to return to their hometowns one after another to prepare for spring ploughing, otherwise they will have no food and clothing this year.

Because there were too many victims, Shi Jin didn't dare to make any more big moves, so he could only send 100 pieces per person.

Shi Jin's benevolence also spread more and more widely with the return of the victims.

Years later, Liangshan also added another leader, that is, Sairengui Guo Sheng, the ancestor of the Jialing clan in Xichuan, because of the sale of mercury goods, the Yellow River was capsized by the wind, and he could not return to his hometown. Originally in Jialing, he learned the Fang Tian halberd under the jurisdiction of Zhang Ti, and he was proficient in making it backward, looking for people everywhere and comparing them with halberd methods.

I heard that there was a little Wenhou Lu Fang in Liangshan, so he came to compare.

At this time in the Water Margin, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng's martial arts should be between the two middlemen, but this time Lu Fang went up the mountain early, and he got the guidance of Lin Chong and many other leaders, and his martial arts have grown a lot.

The two fought for more than 30 times, and Lu Yi had the upper hand.

Guo Sheng is not an uninteresting person, even if he admits defeat and sees the harmony of the leaders of Liangshan, he also agrees to join in Liangshan.

Shi Jin saw that Guo Sheng's martial arts were not bad, so he asked him and Lu Fang to be the leader of his personal entourage.

In February, all the victims outside the berth returned to their hometowns.

The few who remained also moved to Yuncheng County or nearby villages, and they could not live without land, and the land outside the park could only be divided by the imperial court.

On this day, all the leaders in the Hall of Justice sat together.

Shi Jin is in the tiger skin chair, the first on the left is still Zhu Wu, the second is Xiao Jiasui, the third is Song Jiang, and Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang, Cao Zheng, Meng Kang, Tang Long.

Xiao Jiasui originally only had to sit in the back, but everyone made him have the talent to govern the world, and his deputy Song Jianghu was very famous, and everyone also let Song Jiang and Xiao Jiasui reluctantly sit in the second place, but the first one said that he would not sit at all.

On the right are Lin Chong, Lu Da, Yang Zhi, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhu Gui, Chao Gai, Liu Tang, and the leaders behind them still sit in the order of going up the mountain.

Xiao Jiasui handed over an errand to Shi Jin, and Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng, who were in charge of money and grain, also reported their own accounts.

Now there is still some surplus grain in the cottage, but there is 200,000 yuan borrowed from the bank.

After hearing this, Shi Jin nodded and said: "With the concerted efforts of Mr. Xiao and everyone, we have saved many people, and we can be regarded as doing our best for the people in the world." However, the money in the village is all that belongs to the cottage brothers, and we must pay it back earlier, and the treasury must also store some gold and silver, so that when the court comes to attack, it will be easy to deal with. Brother Zhang Qing collected information on some major harmful households in the vicinity, and when we turned around, we divided our troops to go down the mountain to get it. ”

Zhang Qing stood up and responded, "Yes." ”

After that, everyone reported some of their own training, and by February, there were more than 15,000 soldiers and horses in the cottage, and the three armies of Ma Bushui had been expanded.

A group of five people, with a team leader; Ten gangs in a team, set up a team; Ten teams and one battalion, with battalion generals.

The cottage has a total of seven battalions of the Ma Army, the first battalion commander Lin Chong, and the deputy general Yang Lin; Yang Zhi, the commander of the second battalion, and Deng Fei, the deputy general; the third battalion commander Chen Da and deputy general Yang Chun; The fourth battalion commander Hu Yanzhuo, deputy generals Han Tao and Peng Xi; the fifth battalion commander Dang Shiying, deputy general Zhou Tong; The commander of the sixth battalion, Dang Shixiong, and the deputy general Li Zhong.

There is also a battalion of Shi Jin's pro-soldiers, and the leaders of the pro-army Lu Fang and Guo Sheng.

The navy also expanded to five battalions, and Zou Yuan and Zou Run were also changed to the leaders of the navy, and the three heroes of the Ruan clan led the navy.

The infantry army was organized into eighteen battalions, and the seven leaders of Luda, Wu Song, Zhu Gui, Chao Gai, Liu Tang, Shi Yong, and Bai Sheng each led a battalion of infantry troops, and eleven battalions were used as reserve troops.

After all the miscellaneous things were said, Shi Jin let everyone disperse.

As soon as everyone was about to get up, Xiao Jiasui said: "The disaster relief is over, and I am also ready to travel the world again, so I will say goodbye to everyone here." ”

Shi Jin heard this, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xiao is talented, all the cottage brothers are admired, and we get along very happily, why does Mr. Xiao want to leave?" ”

Luda also said: "There are so many brothers on the mountain who accompany Mr. to eat and drink and practice martial arts every day, and Mr. will not be alone when he leaves alone." ”

Everyone also spoke out to persuade Xiao Jiasui.

Xiao Jiasui made a circle and said: "The brothers are warm, Xiao has a sense of guilt, but Xiao is indifferent by nature, and would rather be drunk between mountains and rivers than seek fame." ”

Shi Jin said: "We don't want fame, we just want to do something for the people, and we live up to this man." Mr. Xiao is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, if he only does an idle cloud and wild crane, it is really a loss for the world. Shi Jin is bold, please Mr. Xiao join us in the way of heaven? ”

Say it, get up and hit the ground.

Xiao Jiasui hurriedly returned the salute: "Brother, I also admire it." Xiao doesn't lie, and when I see so many brothers gathered here to do the right thing for heaven, I also yearn for it. It's just that I don't know what my brother will do after a long time? ”

Shi Jin heard that Xiao Jiasui had the idea of staying, so he naturally wouldn't be stumped by Xiao Jiasui's question, and said with a smile: "If the Son of Heaven changes his personality and the power of the DPRK and China loses power, we might as well recruit An." If the saint is still like this today, and Cai Jing, Gao Yu and other traitors are still in the court, we will never recruit peace. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd: "This Zhong Lin Chong brothers are Gao Yu's henchmen, and Yang Zhi, Chao Gai and other brothers are Cai Jing's enemies, if they recruit An, not to mention others, these brothers will inevitably be framed by these traitors." How can we put our brother in danger. Besides, these traitors are corrupt and pervert the law and act recklessly, if we are their minions after we recruit them, what is the difference between them and the big people we kill, if we don't be their minions, they will definitely be framed. As long as Cai Jing, Gao Yu and other traitors gain power, we will never recruit peace. ”

Song Jiang heard Shi Jin's words, and his heart couldn't help but be surging.

Cai Jing is over seventy years old, and he doesn't have a few years to live, but Gao Yu is only in his forties, and he has been favored, so it is a little difficult for Gao Yu to leave the dynasty.

If you don't recruit peace, how can this mountain king be a long-term plan.

"Okay."

Xiao Jiasui heard Shi Jin's words, but he shouted well, and said: "Brother's eyes are like torches, as long as he doesn't recruit An, Xiao would rather be here with everyone to do the right thing for the sky, rather than live up to what he has learned." ”

Shi Jin saw that he had retained this strange man, and said happily: "Okay, I will first ask Mr. and Brother Zhu Wu to be military advisors and take charge of confidential military affairs together." (To be continued......)
