Chapter 24 Robbing the rich and helping the poor
When the people quieted down, Shi Jin said: "Everyone who wants to go up the mountain should go and clean up, and some of the old and young will be moved, so as not to be taken by the public." Let the rest of the people also go back, and be disturbed. ”
"Yes, Chief."
"Thank you Liangshan heroes for removing a big harm for us."
"Thank you Liangshan heroes for eliminating harm for us."
Listening to the gossip responses of the people in the village, Shi Jin smiled and arched his hand, and then turned to look at the Zheng family.
The Zheng family had five sons, killed the eldest son, and four more, Shi Jin promised to let Zheng Rong have a queen, but he never broke his promise, in fact, he never thought of killing people in the first place.
When the Zheng family saw Shi Jin looking at them, they all lowered their heads in fear.
Zheng Rong and his eldest son were killed, and the second and third sons were also scolded by the rod for bullying the villagers, and only the fourth and fifth sons were young.
There were three women who abused their subordinates who were also scolded ten times with the rod, in addition to the concubine who had fornicated with Zheng Rong's eldest son before, there was also a concubine who gave Zheng Rong ideas to persecute other women and was also degraded by Shi Jin to be a mountain prostitute.
How can they not be afraid of Shi Jin.
"There is a lot of blood shed by the Zheng family today, and I hope you all remember today. If anyone dares to do evil again, your father and brother are examples. ”
Shi Jin admonished everyone in the Zheng family again, and then returned to the courtyard of the Zheng family with everyone.
It didn't take much effort for Ruan Xiaowu to come with a team of sailors escorting sixty carriages.
This is also what Zhu Wu added when everyone discussed the details in the Juyi Hall, the large households in the countryside can receive a large amount of grain every year when they collect rent, and the price of grain is low after the autumn, and the large households in the countryside generally do not sell it immediately, and the village may not be able to find so many carts and horses to transport grain.
In the event of casualties, it can also be transported by horse-drawn cart.
Ruan Xiaowu and his entourage are on the road to the sky in the fourth watch.
Even with the Zheng family's dozen or so cars, in the end, only 700 stone of grain was pulled, and a few cars were pulled to join the gang.
There are more than 230 households in Zhengzhuang, and only a dozen households are willing to join in the end, including more than 20 Ding Zhuang.
Although the people in the village call them heroes, they can't change their identity as robbers.
Defecting to them, in addition to the two families who have a deep hatred of the sea of blood, there are seven or eight households who can't control their own offspring, and most of the remaining families can't survive this winter.
It was not until the people of Liangshan had left the village for a long time that the Zheng family dared to send someone to the county to report to the official.
When the soldiers and horses of a commander sent by Yuncheng County arrived in a hurry, the soldiers and horses of Liangshan had long since disappeared, and these soldiers and horses pretended to chase for a few miles, and then they all returned to the county office.
The Zheng family did not dare to live in the village anymore, so the family moved to Yuncheng County within two days, leaving only a housekeeper to take care of the land in the village.
The magistrate of Yuncheng County did not hide it, and reported the case to Jeju the next day.
Jeju Zhizhou read the official document of Yuncheng County, and couldn't help but scold: "I don't want these robbers who can't be killed, but they still make it." ”
He also thought that if he stayed up for another two months, he would be promoted to other places, and he didn't want the Liangshan bandits to make his dream come true after all.
These days, he also received two official letters from the state government, asking him to arrest the thieves who had plundered their temples and finally fled into Liangshan Shuibo.
After those temples were looted, they naturally had to report to the authorities.
There are useless people who do business, and naturally there are also officials, and the traces of Shi Jin's brigade are not easy to hide, and the public officials of two state capitals followed the traces to Liangshan Shuibo, and determined that Shi Jin and his group went back to report after the grass fell in Liangshan, so there was an official document to Jeju.
However, the governor of Jeju has also been immersed in officialdom for many years, especially Yangshan Shuibo, which is 800 miles long, and has several state capitals, he has no shortage of excuses, and does not admit that the gang of thieves is under the control of Jeju.
Now that the robbers of Liangshan have killed the squire, and there is a complaint from the bitter master, if he pretends to be deaf and dumb again, when the bitter master sues the criminal department and the capital, he will have to be punished.
The governor of Jeju did not dare to slack off, and asked people to recruit a group to train Huang An.
Huang An's arrival at the mansion saw the salute and asked, "I don't know why the prime minister summoned me?" ”
Jeju Zhizhou said: "Yesterday, the gang of thieves in Liangshan beat a village under the jurisdiction of Yuncheng County and killed a squire. ”
Huang An heard what the state said, and he also knew that he couldn't hide, so he nodded and said: "What the minister said is that these days, I am familiar with the generals under my command. As soon as the prime minister gave the order, I sent troops to destroy them. ”
Seeing that Huang An had the appearance of a military general, the governor of Jeju was also a little relieved, and said with a smile: "There are generals guarding Honju, so why not be afraid of those bandits." I wonder how many soldiers and horses the general will bring? ”
Huang An thought for a while and said: "Although the thieves have no water and location, they still have the terrain of Liangshan, and these days, they have built a pass, which should not be underestimated." In order to ensure the success of the first battle, I will bring three battalions of soldiers and horses. ”
Jeju Zhizhou nodded and said, "Okay, then I will wish the general success." ”
The two discussed for a while, and Huang An took his leave.
Besides, Shi Jin and the others left Zhengzhuang and said nothing all the way.
From the ice over the water, early to the golden beach.
This year, the weather is extremely cold, don't say that the Liangshan water is parked, that is, Taihu Lake is frozen more than a foot thick, and you can drive on it.
Also because of the severe cold, many fishermen who couldn't survive near Shuibo came to Liangshan to join the gang.
Zhu Wu, Ruan Xiaoer, Zhang Qing, and Sun Erniang all greeted them at Golden Beach.
went straight to the cafeteria.
Seeing the table of wine and meat that had already been prepared in the canteen, the people who had just joined the gang also called out to the right place.
This meal was not eaten for a long time, because it was not a vacation time, although it was meant to be celebrated, but there were only two bowls of wine per person, but the dishes were much more sumptuous.
Only those who have just joined the house are divided into wine and food, and the meat is full.
After eating, the people came to the hall of righteousness, waiting for the distribution of gold and silver.
The boxes of money and goods moved from Zhengzhuang were placed under the banner of the Heavenly Walking Road, and they could only be put into the warehouse after they were divided.
A group of soldiers and horses came out of the canteen and lined up on the martial arts arena, waiting for the distribution of gold and silver.
Shi Jin and the leaders entered the righteous hall and said, "I want to discuss with everyone about the method of dividing gold and silver." ”
When the others heard what Shi Jin had to say, they all looked over.
"We and others gather here to be happy, not afraid of lawsuits, not afraid of officials, eating wine in big bowls and eating meat in large pieces; It's more for the sake of heaven. Now that everyone is not worried about food and clothing, should we go further on the road to heaven? ”
Zhu Wu was still thinking about Shi Jin's words, Ruan Xiaoqi was straightforward, and he had already said: "Brother is going to talk about distributing money and food to the poor people, right?" ”
Shi Jin nodded and said: "We want to be heroes who do the Tao for the sky, what is the Tao?" It is the way to uphold justice for the people of the world, kill corrupt officials and inferior gentry, and let the people of the world live a better life. However, some people can't get through the difficulties in front of them, so they say that this winter's severe cold, and I don't know how many people will freeze to death.
We have also obtained a lot of gold and silver for the people, and to put it bluntly, this gold and silver is not from the big households, but the blood and sweat of the people they have looted. It is not the act of a hero that we take their bloody bowls to eat wine and eat large pieces of meat, but let them starve and freeze. Of course, we can't give them all of it, we have to build armor, and our brothers must also have good wine and meat to eat, so that they can have the strength to continue to do the right thing for heaven. ”
Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "I have some silver to eat and drink, no matter how much it is useless, my brother will divide it as he wants." ”
Yang Chun nodded and said, "What my brother said is reasonable, we eat meat, and we always have to share some oil and water with the people." ”
Chen Dadao: "What my brother said is very much. ”
Several others also expressed support.
Shi Jin nodded and said, "I want to take Sancheng out and help the people outside the water." Forty percent of the warehousing, everyone is divided into three. What do the brothers think? ”
Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile: "Brother thinks it's good, anyway, when there is no silver, my brother will send it." ”
"Haha."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Ruan Xiaoqi's scoundrel face.
Shi Jin saw that no one objected, and said with a smile: "Okay, my Liangshan hero must have such a heart, so that the people can call us heroes willingly." ”
Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile: "What my brother said is that when Zheng Zhuang cut down Zheng Rong's house this morning, listening to the applause of the people was really more enjoyable than eating a bowl of good wine." ”
Chen Da smiled and said, "You are living Yama because you have received a human life and are happy, right?" ”
Ruan Xiaoqi shook his head and said: "If you fight for a while and kill a tough guy, then you will be happy." What joy is there to kill such a pig and dog? ”
Everyone laughed a few words, and Zhu Wu asked, "I don't know how my brother is going to send money and food to the people?" ”
Shi Jin said: "I want to hand over this matter to Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, how much food a person will give, everyone can discuss and discuss, and also prevent the troublemakers and idlers in the nearby villages from receiving more money and grain." ”
Sun Erniang said murderously: "My husband and wife are in the hotel every day, if there are idlers who are not long-eyed, they will have to take care of them." ”
Shi Jin shook his head and said: "Wealth is moving, don't kill it, even if you find someone who receives more, don't give it to him." ”
Zhang Qing also looked at his family helplessly and said: "This is a matter of accumulating merit, don't add any more sinful karma." ”
Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile: "I think Brother Zhang Qing's name is better than that vegetable garden, but he has never recited the scriptures." ”
Chen Da said with a smile: "Monks must not have a Hun family. ”
Ruan Xiaoqi felt that the nickname he gave Zhang Qing was very appropriate, and said with a smile: "Why not, those bald donkeys are used to coaxing women, and secretly I don't know how many women they raise." ”
Could it be that Lu Zhishen didn't become a flower monk, but Zhang Qing became a monk with hair?
Fortunately, I didn't let Zhang Qing call the flower monk.
Shi Jin also felt a little funny when he heard Ruan Xiaoqi's new nickname for Zhang Qing, but Zhang Qing really had some signs of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot.
If there was no Sun Erniang, the god of killing, Zhang Qing would really be a monk.
Sun Erniang said with a smile: "If he is really a monk, I will also be pure." ”
Zhang Qing was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "The brothers are happy together, what am I a monk." Let's discuss how much food one person will pay. ”
Zhu Wu calculated: "When a strong farmer is idle, one liter of rice a day is enough, and if a family of five is a family, there are old and young, and there are always three or four liters of grain to eat." If we send too much, we can't help too many people, and if we send less, it's useless. Five buckets per person should be enough to eat for ten days and a half months. Winter clothes are expensive, and the worse ones cost seven or eight hundred wen. ”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "Then each person will be given five buckets of food, and the money will be consistent." ”
After everyone discussed for a while, the little leader of the Money and Grain Division came in to report, and all the money and goods were counted.
In fact, what took a little time was to take some sundries from the Zheng family's treasury to fold money, the gold and silver were all whole ingots, and it was extremely easy to count.
The harvest of the people last night was a total of more than 51,000 yuan, and 30% was taken out to help the people, 40% was put into the warehouse, and everyone was divided into 30%. Those who go down the mountain take one share, and those who don't go down take eighty percent of the people who go down the mountain with the same status.
After the three heroes of the Ruan family went up the mountain, the cottage gathered a lot of people, and the number of people who shared the money has reached more than 600 people.
Even so, each minions who went down the mountain could also get more than 20 runs, and Shi Jin and several other leaders who went down the mountain were more than 100 knots each. The people who didn't go down the mountain were eighty percent of them, and the difference was not big.
After the men of the Money and Grain Division had calculated the number of shares to be given to each person, the leaders came out of the Righteous Hall.
Seeing all the leaders come out, the minions in the martial arts arena also came over.
Shi Jin said loudly: "The brothers who went down the mountain with me last night also know, and I want to use some money and food to help the poor people." Just now, I discussed with the leaders, and in the future, we will take 30 percent of the money and grain out to help the people, and 40 percent will be put into the treasury, and we will divide 30 percent. Everyone doesn't have to worry about the less, each child who went down the mountain last night can get 20 yuan, the gang leader is 30 yuan, the team is 60 yuan, and those who don't go down the mountain get eighty percent. Tonight another group of people will go down the mountain, and tomorrow we will divide the money. I believe that in a few days, everyone will not have to worry about having no money to marry the Hun family. ”
The Song style is extravagant, and the cost of marriage is very amazing, that is, to marry in the countryside, it takes dozens of times, so many people may not be able to marry the Hun family after thirty.
In the wedding ceremony compiled by Sima Guang, it is believed that according to the ancient rites, men are only thirty and women are only twenty, and it is too late.
The cottage minions originally thought that they would be the same as before, and they would not be able to share a few dollars a month, but they couldn't be the masters, and the affairs of the cottage had always been discussed by the leaders. When they heard that they could still divide the twenty yuan, everyone was relieved.
Shi Jin is generous and righteous, and he will never treat them badly.
