415 Development of cottages

successfully settled down in Erlong Mountain, but since it is his own home, he has to take responsibility. Needless to say, Wu Dalang was in charge of the food of more than 100 people on the mountain, and after Li Xiang passed that meal, although he still had the name of a small leader, he actually did the business of a big leader. He was appointed by Lu Zhishen as the head of Erlong Mountain, and he had the right to manage all affairs. From marching and fighting, strategic layout, to eating, drinking, and wearing hats, he is in charge.

Li Xiang was a lazy person, and he didn't want to take care of things, but looking at the blank expressions of Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, Wu Song and other rough old men, he really couldn't refuse, so he could only reluctantly take it.

In addition, Li Xiang is still a little obsessive-compulsive, and he can't help but want to take care of things when he sees something that is not pleasing to the eye. After becoming the manager, this symptom was even more out of control, so he led more than 100 little minions to start the transformation of Erlong Mountain.

The first is to live, although the Baozhu Temple covers a large enough area, enough for more than 100 people to live, but it is also crowded. Moreover, these bandits behaved vulgarly, and they were disposed of everywhere, which made this original Buddhist pure land even more filthy. Therefore, Li Xiang wanted to build a house, and divided it into dormitories, canteens, bathhouses, toilets, etc., and by the way, he also strengthened various passes in Erlong Mountain, and reserved several passages in and out, so that this bandit den looked like a military camp.

Then there are the clothes, needless to say the clothes of the various leaders, they will not lack clothes to wear, but the little minions below are more miserable, many people are poor before going up the mountain, although they get clothes by robbing passing merchants after going up the mountain, most of them do not fit. So Li Xiang made the decision and spent a sum of money from the public account of the cottage. They went to the city to buy a batch of black coarse cloth and gave it to the tailor's shop. It is cut according to the style designed by Li Xiang. When it's done, send it to the little minions, and everyone can wear it and take a look. I suddenly felt a lot more energetic. In particular, everyone is dressed the same, and at first glance they are in a group, which immediately gives people a sense of belonging.

Needless to say, Wu Dalang is in charge. Then there are the norms of behavior, such as making Li Xiang unbearable open defecation, walking in the cottage and accidentally stepping on the gold left by unknown people, which is too disgusting. So Li Xiang took out the regulations that he had trained his subordinates in the "Yitian" plane back then, so that these little minions knew what the rules were. In a few days, this little minion has become a bit of an elite soldier.

Nothing else. The training of recruits shocked Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi. Both of them came out of the Song Dynasty army and knew what it was like to be in the army. But after seeing Li Xiang's training method, they were greatly impressed. At this time, they really believed what Wu Song said, Li Xiang has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, even if he is a prime minister, a general or something, he is enough to be competent.

Since Li Xiang has the ability to train soldiers, it must be that Wu Song's martial arts are strong, but I am afraid that it is not a lie. So Lu Zhishen first proposed to learn from Li Xiang. Li Xiang is now afraid of horse wars. is not afraid of Lu Zhishen's step. took the sword and fought a big battle with Lu Zhishen. Just to save face for Lu Zhishen, Li Xiang is always invincible and maintains a draw. But anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Lu Zhishen gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength, but Li Xiang looked indifferent, and he could tell at a glance who was high and who was low.

Lu Zhishen is not a person who can't afford to lose. Even Li Xiang's apprentice Wu Song can fight to a draw with him, and there is nothing surprising that Li Xiang can win against him. After a hundred strokes. Lu Zhishen took the initiative to admit defeat, and the province continued to be embarrassed. Yang Zhi's martial arts are not under Lu Zhishen. Seeing Li Xiang's swordsmanship, his hands were also itchy, so he then challenged him. The result was still the same, after a hundred moves, Yang Zhi had to take the initiative to admit defeat.

After the discussion, the two big leaders felt that it was too much to let a person whose martial arts were still above them be only a small leader, so Lu Zhishen proposed to rearrange the seats and ask Li Xiang to be the big leader of Erlong Mountain. This is not what Li Xiang wants, so he insists on not accepting it. Lu Zhishen and the others saw that he really didn't want to be a big leader, so they had no choice but to give up. But from then on, they saw Li Xiangdu's respectful and respectful manner, and called him "sister-in-law". Even the two big leaders were convinced, and the other little minions were naturally even more speechless, they had already been obeyed by Li Xiangxun, and they all followed suit.

After the internal affairs were straightened out, Li Xiang began to work on the external action of Erlongshan again. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is how to rob.

In the past, Erlong Mountain was sent from time to time to guard the road under the mountain, and when they found a passing business trip, they suddenly jumped out to surround it, and then looted all the valuable things. If you encounter resistance, you will cut them down, and if you don't resist, you will leave them alive.

Li Xiang believes that this kind of robbery is not conducive to sustainable development, so he suggested that the robbery should be changed to collect tolls. When they encounter a business trip, they will no longer snatch them all in one go, but leave them a little money so that they can go home.

Regarding Li Xiang's "compassionate" suggestion, although Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi felt unhappy, they still nodded and agreed out of respect for Li Xiang. However, after half a month, they saw the change and understood what Li Xiang meant by "sustainable development".

In this era, it is not easy for people who dare to go out and travel far away, they are either people in the public family, or they are good men in the green forest, or businessmen who want money and do not want their lives. I know that there are many thieves today, but there are still people who take risks in business in order to get rich. But a businessman who doesn't want to die can not die and is not willing to die. In the past, when I encountered a robbery, if I was lucky, I could give up my money to save my life when I encountered a less murderous robber, and if I was unlucky, I would give up my money and lose my life. Fortunately, the robbers are not always pinned to the side of the road, and the merchant can try his luck and pass quickly while the robbers are away, otherwise the merchant will not survive.

Now I suddenly heard that there is a robber who actually left a little money for the journey after the robbery, which is simply the heart of the Bodhisattva! Since the road fee is also returned, it means that the small life will definitely not be lost, and compared with other roads, it is naturally safer to use the road of Erlong Mountain. As a result, the flow of people under Erlong Mountain has increased significantly, which has made Erlong Mountain's business much better and more property has been intercepted.

As Erlongshan's maverick reputation spread, more people came to take refuge. As a result, Erlongshan also expanded rapidly, from more than 100 people to more than 700 people. On the green forest road, there are so many minions under his command, which can already be regarded as strong, and the name of Erlong Mountain is even louder.

As the affairs of the cottage gradually straightened out, Li Xiang was not so busy. After he was free, he remembered the property he had purchased in Yanggu County. Many of them are secretly controlled, and each store has a shopkeeper on the surface. Now that he has fled Yanggu County, aren't those industries all cheap, and he is the shopkeeper of the puppet? That's not going to work!

So Li Xiang selected a few more shrewd and strong minions and asked them to rush to Yanggu County. If the shopkeeper still recognizes Li Xiang, the boss behind the scenes, let them continue to operate, and give them more when the time comes. If you think that he Pan Jinlian can't go back and wants to embezzle his property, then you don't have to be polite, just sell the shop and let those unscrupulous shopkeepers deal with the new boss. As for whether they will be reused by the new boss or swept away, it is none of Li Xiang's business.

As for the stores that were recovered, Li Xiang didn't plan to keep them privately, and all of them were incorporated into the account books of the cottage, which can be regarded as the property of the cottage. After Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi knew about this, they didn't say anything on the surface, but they admired Li Xiang even more in their hearts. That's tens of thousands of taels of silver, Li Xiang said that he would give it up, he really regarded money as dung! You must know that Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Gongsun Sheng intercepted the birth gang of only 100,000 yuan, and it was only 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver, but they were chased by Liang Zhongshu and had no way to escape, so they could only run to Liangshan and fall into the grass.

Another thing worth mentioning is that Wu Dalang's two maids finally became pregnant with children and were promoted to concubines. Speaking of which, Li Xiang did something strange, when he just went up the mountain that day, when everyone was drinking, Wu Dalang got himself drunk. Li Xiang sent him back to the room and took the opportunity to let the two maids sleep with Wu Dalang. Wu Dalang was confused and didn't know who was lying next to him, and as a result, he was bewitched by two women. After so long, finally one of the maids had a happy pulse. Li Xiang took the opportunity to force Wu Dalang to take two daughters as concubines, the second lady who was pregnant, and the third lady who was not pregnant.

With this happy event, the cottage naturally has to celebrate again. It's just that what people didn't expect was that after the drunkenness, Wu Song suddenly proposed that he wanted to walk around the rivers and lakes, so he wanted to say goodbye to his brothers and sisters-in-law for the time being.

Wu Song wanted to leave Li Xiang and go out on his own, which was an idea he had for a long time. It's not easy to hold back until now to bring it up. However, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi didn't know the inside story, so they didn't understand Wu Song's thoughts, and persuaded him to be the three leaders on the mountain in peace. However, Wu Song had already made up his mind, and they had no choice but to take the banquet celebrating Wu Dalang's marriage as a farewell wine for Wu Song, and after getting drunk, they sent him away.

On the occasion of parting, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi both told Wu Song to come back when they had enough to float outside, and this will always be his home. Li Xiang said: "Uncle, at the beginning, Old Man Zhou Dong Zhou promised to introduce you to a family affair, because of my reasons, we fled Yanggu County, and this matter is gone." Since you are going out on a journey, why don't you meet him and ask him if what he said counts? If it counts, you will bring my daughter-in-law back to me." If it doesn't count, you can find a daughter-in-law yourself and bring it back for me. ”

These words made Wu Song cry and laugh, as if he went out to find his daughter-in-law this time. However, Li Xiang is concerned about him, and he can't refute it, so he can only agree, as for how to act, leaving Li Xiang's eyes, is it not up to him? (To be continued.) )
