Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Great Cottage Competition
That night, when Shi Jin and everyone celebrated, they also watched this good snow.
The heavy snow closed the road, and Shi Jin could only stop the matter of doing things for Tianxingdao, but the distribution of money and food from the hotel outside the park did not stop.
Every day, the people of ten miles and eight towns come to ask for money and food, and with their spread, the reputation of Liangshan heroes doing the way for heaven and robbing the rich and helping the poor has also spread more and more.
After the snow melted, the big families around Shuibo for thirty or fifty miles had already moved to the state and county, and even the big families in the distance also practiced Zhuang Ding to prevent Liangshan from fighting.
Knowing that the big families in the neighborhood had fled, Shi Jin did not take the troops down the mountain again, but gave everyone a long vacation, allowing the minions who did not take their families down the mountain and go home for the New Year.
Most of the hundreds of people from Shaohua Mountain went down the mountain, and many of them were ready to move to Liangshan.
Although more than 300 people went down the mountain, there were people in the cottage every day, and the soldiers and horses in the cottage did not decrease.
During the long holiday, the minions on the mountain practiced for an hour every day, taking turns to be on duty, and the guards never relaxed.
On the day of the New Year, Shi Jin spent it in the cafeteria with everyone, thinking of his family in another time and space, he was sad about drinking, Shi Jin was drunk unconsciously, and was finally carried back to the room by Shi Zhu and others.
This year, Shi Jin also reached the age of twenty.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the cottage will resume normal exercises, but most of the minions who go down the mountain are still on the way back.
Years later, there was no good news.
First of all, he heard that Luda was the big leader in Taohua Mountain, Qingzhou, which disappointed Shi Jin for a while.
It turned out that after Luda killed Zhen Guanxi with three punches, he fled all the way to Daizhou, and saw that he was about to get out of the border pass, so he turned around and turned back. was confused, and somehow bumped into the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain again.
The little overlord Zhou Tong had just gathered one hundred and eighty people to set up camp in Peach Blossom Mountain, and he heard that the little minion said that a big man was passing by with a package, so he led someone to rob Luda.
As a result, he was knocked to the ground by Ruda after a few closes.
Zhou Tongzheng felt a little lonely, and when he saw that Luda was so good at martial arts, he immediately asked Luda to go up the mountain and sit in the first place.
Luda walked in the rivers and lakes for two or three months, and he was a little tired, so he fell into the grass in Peach Blossom Mountain.
A few days later, I heard another news, and there was another leader under Wang Lun, a white-clothed showman who fell into the grass on Shadow Mountain, and touched Tiandu Qian, which was King Kong Song Wan in the clouds.
Shi Jin originally thought that if Luda didn't come to vote, Song Wan and Zhu Gui would always come, these days, there are many people in the cottage, but they are all villagers and fishermen, and there is no one who can get better.
Even if Song Wan and Zhu Gui are not very good in martial arts, they can be leaders in a cottage with hundreds of people, and they must have some means.
Unexpectedly, he robbed Liangshan, Wang Lun and Du Qian went to rob Xiaowenhou Lu Fang's opposite shadow mountain, and they didn't expect Song Wan to get together with them.
There is really a providence in the dark.
Shi Jin had no choice but to hope that after Liang Shan's reputation for Tianxingdao spread, he could attract some heroes to join him.
I don't know how the Jeju officials deceived the bitter lord and the imperial court, but after Huang An led the troops to leave a few years ago, the Jeju officers and soldiers did not move.
The soldiers and horses of Liangshan did not go down the mountain again, and after the Bowai Hotel distributed the 3,000 stone grain that was later moved up the mountain, it also stopped distributing food.
The more than 40,000 yuan was also sold out in February, and Liangshan announced that the distribution of money and grain would be suspended.
In February, the ice gradually melted.
When it is half-thawed and half-frozen, it is the most annoying, you can't walk on the ice, and the boat in the water is also laboriously tight.
By the end of February, all the ice on the surface had melted.
Chen Da and other leaders also shouted that they wanted to go down the mountain to do the way for the sky, but Shi Jin had other plans in his heart, announcing that a big competition would be held at the end of each month, and the three armies of horse, infantry, and water would each decide a team with the strongest combat power.
The winning minions will each be rewarded with 10 yuan, the captain will be 15 yuan, the team leader will be 30 yuan, and the leader of the direct management will be rewarded with 50 yuan.
For minions who have divided the gold and silver before, the reward is not much, but for the new minions, this is a lot of money. And Liangshan has not gone down the mountain for a long time for the Tianxingdao, so naturally there is no gold and silver, although food and clothing are provided by the cottage, but if you want to go to Dongshan to live happily, you need silver.
In particular, Higashiyama opened a fee-based green. After the building, the cost of going to Dongshan to live happily has increased a lot.
Therefore, the bounty of the competition is still very attractive, and the teams are working hard to win the first place.
Even if the leaders don't care about the fifty guan, they don't want their team to be compared, and they train their soldiers and horses every day.
The green of the East Mountain. In addition to the dozen or so lewd women who were demoted to prostitutes in Tianxingdao, there were also some private prostitutes from nearby states and counties.
At first, Liangshan's minions also coaxed some private prostitutes, promising to let them go back after staying for five days. But these prostitutes found out that Liangshan's minions did not harm them, and after they made a generous move, they regarded Liangshan as a gold panning ground.
Some simply stayed in Liangshan, wanting to earn enough money and then return to their hometowns to be good citizens, but no one knew where they earned their money anyway.
In addition to the cottage opened hotels, gambling houses, green Building, Dongshan also appeared a few cottage old and small grocery stores, tea soup shops, already have the appearance of some towns.
On the first day of March, when Shi Jin was training soldiers and horses in the martial arts arena, he saw Zhang Qing coming up the mountain with a man.
After the New Year, there were more people who came to join the gang, but they were all brought up the mountain by Zhang Qing's Huo family, and Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang had not personally brought anyone up.
Therefore, after Shi Jin saw Zhang Qing coming up with a person, he looked at the person with some curiosity.
I saw that this man had grown up, with a burly appearance, two fists and a bone face, and three yellow hairs.
"The boys keep practicing."
When the two approached, Shi Jin gave an order, stepped aside, and arched his hand: "Fortunately, this brother is also here to join the gang?" ”
Zhang Qing nodded and said: "Exactly, he is Zhu Gui of the dry land, a native of Yishui County, Yizhou, I have heard of his reputation in the past, and he is a good man, so he attracted to see his brother." ”
Zhu Gui also arched his hand and said: "The villain has seen the leader. ”
Shi Jin finally heard this, and said with a smile: "I have admired the name for a long time, today I have added another hero to my cottage, congratulations, let's go to the Juyi Hall to talk." ”
Zhu Gui saw that Shi Jin didn't ask much, so he decided to include him, and he was also very grateful for Shi Jin's boldness.
The three of them entered the Juyi Hall, and Shi Jin sat on a chair on the left at will, letting Zhang Qing and Zhu Gui sit down on both sides, and said with a smile: "I don't know where my brother came from?" ”
Zhu Gui arched his hand and said: "The younger brother was originally a guest on the rivers and lakes, and he didn't want to be blackmailed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so he lost his capital. I was going to return to my hometown, but when I arrived in Shandong, I heard that my brother was in Liangshan for the heavens, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and doing things magnanimously, but there were those who came to vote, as long as they were willing to abide by the rules of Liangshan, they would accept it, so the younger brother came to join the gang, and was willing to follow his brother to do the way for the sky. ”
Shi Jin nodded and said: "The world is turbid, the world is full of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the people who are harmed by them like brothers and have families who are unable to return to their homes do not know how many, so we are in Liangshan for the heavens." We just can't clear up this and let the world know what justice is. ”
Zhu Gui hugged his fists and said: "Brother is noble, and the younger brother is willing to lead the horse and follow the elder brother." ”
The three of them chatted in the Juyi Hall for a while, and Shi Jin invited Zhu Gui to the canteen to eat a meal of wine, and at the same time invited the leaders of the cottage to accompany him.
When Zhu Gui first came to join the gang, he had to be valued so much by Shi Jin, how not to be grateful.
After a day of rest, Shi Jin saw that Zhu Gui's martial arts were no less than Zhang Qing, so he invited Zhu Gui to sit in the tenth position, and since then there have been ten leaders in the cottage.
The Liang Shanshui army has also expanded to six teams, with each of the three Nguyen Thiong leading two teams.
Because there were many fishermen near Shuibo, the pace of expansion of the infantry army was slower than that of the naval army, and only ten teams were organized, Chen Da and Yang Chun each led four teams, and Zhu Gui, who joined later, led two teams.
Although Liang Shan spared no expense in gold and silver, he sent people to search for war horses in the nearby state capital, but only fifty or sixty war horses were bought in a few months, and only one team was barely expanded.
At the end of March, a big competition was also held in Yangshan.
Ma Jun didn't say much, the three teams were all under Shi Jin's management.
The first place in the infantry army was won by a team under Yang Chun, so that Chen Da, who has a higher martial arts, said that he must train his team fiercely next month.
The first place in the navy was won by a team under Ruan Xiaoqi, so that his two elder brothers Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu were also very embarrassed, and decided to let their team live on the water for a few days next month.
Five days off after the big competition.
In April, the teams began to practice again.
The leader who loses is not convinced, and the winner wants to continue to win.
Each leader trained his team to the death.
