Chapter 14 Liangshan Grass Creation
Two months passed in a flash, and Yangsan and the Jeju government seemed to have reached a tacit understanding.
Liangshan did not go down the mountain to plunder, and the government did not come to pursue it.
Shi Jin didn't draw any forbidden land, but the fishermen didn't dare to get too close to Yangsan, and the Jeju government naturally wouldn't fail to collect rent.
The Jeju government does not have so many tax collectors to collect rent on the berth, and the rent is calculated directly by the boat, and even if you do not enter the water, you have to pay the rent every day.
Not long after the implementation of the new law, there were complaints.
The poor in the family did not dare to rest even if they were infected with a mild illness, so they could only take the sick to work in exchange for money and pay rent.
In November, the water began to freeze.
This year's winter was exceptionally cold, and within a few days, the ice on the lake was more than a foot thick, and nearby fishermen stopped smashing the ice for fishing, and switched to cutting reeds.
The taxes were strict, and it was difficult for them to rest for a few days.
Some fishermen were overwhelmed, so they took the initiative to find Liangshan to join them.
Today's Liangshan houses are neat, the previous tents have been dismantled, everyone has lived in the barracks, and the money and grain have been put into storage.
This year, the wind and rain are smooth, and the grain price has dropped after the autumn, and the price has always been 500 wen per stone.
However, compared with the price of six or seven hundred wen a stone in previous years, it has also doubled, since Cai Jing and Tong Guan took power, the price has skyrocketed, so there is a folk song of "breaking the barrel and splashing the vegetables, it is a good world in the world".
Before the arrival of the brigade, Zhu Wu bought nearly 2,000 stones.
Because Zhu Wu's bid was one point higher than that of the nearby grain merchants, and the autumn tax was about to be levied, the people of the four townships were scrambling to transport grain to sell, if it were not for the limited money in Zhu Wu's hands, it would not be difficult to collect ten thousand stones.
The land near Liangshan Shuibo is fertile, and it is also a rich township, and it is not easy to meet a person who does not reduce the price of grain after the autumn harvest.
After Shi Jin led the people up the mountain, he did not stop collecting grain, but the people did not dare to come here to sell grain.
Now it has spread all over the country, and a group of strongmen occupy Liangshan.
One is afraid that everyone in Liangshan will rob it, and the other is known by the public, and it is not easy to play, and the crime of fornication and robbers can be not light.
Shi Jin saw that he couldn't receive grain, so he sent someone to pretend to be a grain merchant and buy it directly from a grain store in a nearby state and county, of course, the price was higher, but it also saved a lot of trouble.
Every day, a boatload of grain is transported to Yangsan through the water.
Before the water was frozen, Liangshan stored more than 7,000 stones.
The three passes in front of the mountain have also been completed, and now Liangshan is still under construction is the Juyi Hall planned by Shi Jin, six zhang from north to south, three zhang from east to west, enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
With the efforts of the people in the cottage, the cottage has built more than 150 barracks, three canteens, two granaries, one treasury, three passes, three small courtyards for the leaders, and the military and political departments and the money and grain departments have also been completed.
Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang were given a small courtyard, and Shi Jin, Zhu Wu and others still lived in barracks, but they were one person and one house.
Within a few days of going up the mountain, Shi Jin released dozens of craftsmen who had earned Zhu Wu and Chen Da on the mountain.
However, a few craftsmen were afraid of leaking the news and eating lawsuits, and they didn't dare to go down the mountain alone, so they asked Shi Jin to send someone down the mountain to move them down the mountain and move the old and young up the mountain to join the gang.
Most of the craftsmen took a good salary and left.
Fortunately, there are a few copycat minions who can work with mud tiles, and with everyone working hard, the progress is not slow.
With the completion of a large number of houses, the practice of the cottage people is gradually on the right track.
From one hour a day at the beginning to three hours a day now, the whole cottage has become accustomed to this kind of intense exercise.
Shi Jin's arrangement is not only a rush to work, but also a process of adaptation for everyone.
Of course, not everyone in the cottage is practicing for three hours now.
The craftsmen who joined the gang later did not need to participate in the drill, and the firehead army that was separated only practiced for one hour.
After the break, Shi Jin also reintegrated the cottage people.
Because each barracks houses five people, Shi Jin also changed the number of people to a group of five people and set up a team leader; Ten groups in a team, set up a team.
When dividing the gold and silver, the gang leader took one and a half shares, the team was taking three shares, and the six leaders of Shi Jin took five shares.
The leader took a little more than before, but it was still a lot less than in the past, and the upper and lower levels of the cottage were also one level more, and everyone had no opinion.
Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun are not people who love money, and they all have some savings, so they don't care about it.
Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang are still young, and the two of them did not come for gold and silver.
The cottage people and horses are also divided into horse army, infantry army, water army, and fire head army, of which there are two teams of horse army, one hundred people; five infantry teams, two hundred and fifty men; two teams of sailors, 100 people; Four groups of firehead soldiers, twenty people.
Chen Da and Yang Chun are each in charge of two teams of infantry troops, and the remaining two teams of horse army, one team of infantry army, and two teams of water army are temporarily managed by Shi Jin.
In order to familiarize the people in the cottage with military discipline, the military and political department under Zhu Wu's command has no fixed subordinate for the time being, and the three armies of horses, infantry, and water take turns to listen to orders from the military and political department.
Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang also opened up the Bowai Hotel, and the nearby businessmen already knew that this hotel was opened by Liangshan, and no one dared to come again.
Of course, the people did not dare to come.
Only the past merchants from other places are unknown, and most of them stop in this hotel, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang do not hurt these past guests, but the business is inevitably bleak.
However, they didn't care about the number of guests, they just sent people to find out the news.
After everyone in the cottage lived in the barracks, they also began to go out through some of their former colleagues to recruit heroes.
Originally, they wanted to spread the news earlier, but Shi Jin felt that it was inappropriate for everyone to recruit people while they were still living in tents, so he pressed for two months.
After the water pool froze, Shi Jin also heard a piece of news.
Luda killed the town of Guanxi with three punches, and Weizhou issued a sea fishing document with a reward of 1,000 yuan to arrest Luda.
Although he didn't go to Weizhou, he didn't doubt that Luda would fight Guanxi.
With Ruda's habits, even if he doesn't invite people, Luda himself has to go to the restaurant to eat.
Zhenguanxi forcibly deceived Jin Cuilian's father and daughter to write 3,000 documents, and the pain of Jin Cuilian's father and daughter did not stop that day.
Sooner or later, Luda will know about Jin Cuilian's father and daughter, and I'm afraid that he will still kill Zhen Guanxi with three punches.
However, as soon as time changes, Jin Cuilian's father and daughter will most likely not meet the ancient neighbors of Jingshi on the road, and naturally they will not go to Yanmen County, Daizhou, which already belongs to the Songliao border pass, and few people will go to the border pass except for businessmen to settle down.
Without the introduction of Jin Cuilian's father and daughter, Luda probably would not have gone to Wutai Mountain to become a monk.
I am afraid that there is only Luda as a good man on the rivers and lakes, and there is no flower monk Lu Zhishen.
It is said that Luda is definitely a road idiot, when he fought Tianhu, he got lost outside Xiangyuan City, and later bumped into Fenyang to catch Ma Ling, a god horse. When he was fighting Fang La, he got lost in Wulong Ridge again, walked to Bangyuan Cave alone, and caught Fang La.
Shi Jin doesn't believe in any fate entangled in wells and holy monks and Arhats, and it is not uncommon for him to go into battle in different places and get lost, isn't it just because he lost his way and committed suicide in shame.
However, Luda is free and easy by nature, and he is a natural blessing, and he can always make contributions whenever he returns from a loss.
Among the Water Margin heroes, Shi Jin doesn't like much, and Luda is undoubtedly his favorite.
As long as Luda is in exile, he has hope to invite Juyi.
If Ruda is still in the army, it will be difficult to recruit.
Luda's fate has not changed much, but Lin Chong's fate may take a big turn.
Without Luda's tools in the vegetable garden, Lin Chong would not have been fascinated by it, and asked the lady and the maid to go to the Yue Temple alone to burn incense.
Lin Chong burned incense with his wife, and Gao Yanei saw Lin Chong's beauty, and he might not dare to make trouble, so naturally there was no matter of framing Lin Chong later.
