Chapter 67: Chao Fu and Liangshan go to war

Han Shizhong is informal, has a strong personality, and treats his subordinates very well. His departure stimulated Zhuang Shang's guards, and they trained and strengthened every day. In addition to physical training, the battles are more realistic and intense than before.

They want to surpass the Western Army and become the most elite soldiers.

Guo Sheng has never won a contest with Po Han Wu during this time, which has inspired the fighting spirit of this young hero. The training is the most diligent, and as soon as he has time, he fights with Shi Xiu and Su Ding, and immediately steps down, with long punches and short fights.

Chao Gai would sometimes go into battle in person, compete with him and give him some advice. In addition to the business of the governor's mansion is to practice martial arts and train guards. Responsible for the placement of dark line personnel, the selection of guards to expand the team for training......

Wu Yong, Shi Xiu, Su Ding, Zhu Fu and others are in charge of their own stalls, busy but not chaotic, and live freely. Back to the original full days!

Time flies, more than two months have passed in a blink of an eye.

Chao Gai used to make friends with heroes and heroes in the world, and this has been the case for the past few months. Insist that where there are many poor people, they will open porridge sheds to provide help. Under the slow mouth, one spread ten to hundred, and Chao Tianwang became famous.

Henghai County, Hebei Province has Chai Jinchai Daguan, and Shandong Yuncheng has Chao Gai Chao Tianwang. The latter is more famous, with three unique strengths, knives, and arrows, and is invincible. This point is on par with Hebei Jade Qilin Lu Junyi, a top two.

Shandong Tianwang Chao, Yuncheng is really a living Buddha, the family wealth can be dispersed, and the people are happy, these rumors are known to everyone, and even bare children can sing. There are countless poor people from near and far.

There are already 35,000 households in Chaojiazhuang, with as many as 30,000 or 40,000 people. Almost comparable to Yuncheng County, the increase in population has intensified the demand for various materials.

Wealthy families in the surrounding towns spontaneously sold the grain they had hoarded at home at a low price. The people picked up the vegetables they couldn't eat, chickens, ducks and eggs to sell. Not to be outdone, the wealthy merchants of Yuncheng transported a large amount of grain and materials to join in the fun.

There were already traders in the village, and when the news spread, there were even more vendors. Selling all kinds of daily necessities, even cattle and sheep dealers to settle down......

Chaojiazhuang is crowded with people every day, just like rushing to the market!

Chao Gai felt that this was a good opportunity and drew a place to set up a trading area. Wet markets and shops of all kinds came into being, and business became more and more popular.

Most of the shops are secretly dominated by the Chao government, and others need to pay a molecular fee to open a shop, and the daily net profit is very considerable.

There are many people here and business is easy to do, and the number of outsiders who choose to settle down has increased. The price of the wasteland, which was once penniless, is rising, and the villagers are happy.

Chao Gai is the actual controller of Chaojiazhuang. Command the selected young and strong people to reclaim the wasteland outside, or train with weapons. Silently, more than a thousand guards were recruited in the shadows. In the four directions of Chaojiazhuang, the southeast, northwest and northwest military camps were built for military training.

The movement made by Chaojiazhuang was so amazing, but the Yuncheng County Ya turned a blind eye and never asked. In other words, it is a parent who can see the problem of Chao Jiazhuang at a glance, and Chao Gai has bad intentions.

However, it is now the last year of the Northern Song Dynasty, and thieves are everywhere, and the local army is simply unreliable. Villages in various places are united, and wealthy households organize strong men to train to fight bandits. This kind of fortress-like Zhuangzi is a common phenomenon, and it is normal to have hundreds or thousands of people. These are collectively referred to as local haoqiang, which is the acquiescence of the imperial court.

The changes in Chaojiazhuang made the magistrate of Yuncheng County Ren smile. During this time, he had a good business with Chao Gai and earned a lot of gold and silver. In addition, if you are about to be promoted and transferred, when will you wait if you don't hurry up and make money at this time?

Wang Yuan, a close aide who has this idea with him, is the governor of Shixianggong. I wish that the more people in Chaojiazhuang the better, and buy more grain for profit. Liang Shijie of the Daimyo Mansion can buy and sell, why can't they?

Besides, they are supporting the powerful against the bandits, which is a righteous act!

Chao Gai also thinks so, and naturally he will not disappoint them. Chaojiazhuang received strong support from Yuncheng and the Jeju government, allocated money and grain every month, and secretly purchased a large number of them, with sufficient grain and grass, and no shortage of weapons and equipment.

In the past two months, he has officially worked for Liangshan.

After the Liangshan thieves stopped for three months, they couldn't bear the loneliness and went down the mountain to borrow food in the middle of the night. It's just that Jeju has long had Chao Gai's suggestion that multiple villages should be united.

The gongs and drums were noisy, and the people of all villages came to help.

The horse team patrolling outside the Chao Mansion was the first to arrive and was the first to kill and defeat the strongman. Dozens of people were killed, and the rest fled in all directions, leaving the village unharmed.

The rich families are grateful and provide free grain and grass subsidies!

Chaojiazhuang was attacked by bandits three months ago, and the grain and grass were burned and suffered heavy losses. To build fishing boats and buy them in the south, it was easy for the government to intervene.

More than two hundred large and small warships were accumulated.

Chao Gai personally led hundreds of people to attack Shuibo Liangshan by boat, and the two sides had a fierce battle on the lake and defeated the thieves, taking advantage of the victory to pursue and almost break through the giant island. However, Liangshan ambushed the troops, and there were no reinforcements, so they could only retreat.

In successive battles, there were many victories and few defeats, and more than 100 strongmen were killed, and the Liangshan thieves only dared to retreat on the island. Not to mention going down the mountain to borrow grain, the fishermen didn't care about fishing. The lord of Yuncheng County bragged and said that the Liangshan thieves were about to be destroyed. The governor of Jeju was also overjoyed, and the good news was played to promote the merits.

They either organized donations and food from wealthy households, or supported weapons and equipment, or even contacted to buy warships. Vigorously support Chaojiazhuang, to build it into a benchmark against bandits, to ensure that no thieves dare to invade the territory under its rule.

Where do these stupid roe deer know?

After Chao Gai won the battle, he talked to the leader of Liangshan about wine and good friends. It's the previous strategy again, where are the bandits attacking and caught for backup, and the two sides are fighting like a play, clicking off these people to fill up.

The strategy was seamless, and the two sides acted very well, and the result was naturally -

Chao Gai is a hero, protect the territory and the people!

Yuncheng Zhixian and Jeju Zhizhou touted Chao Gai, but in fact, it was to show that there were no thieves under their rule, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, giving them more bargaining chips for promotion.

The propaganda of the government and the people really believed it, and saw the guards of the Chao Mansion galloping on horses and patrolling. The sense of security brought by it is much stronger than that of those officers and soldiers. Not only the people of Yuncheng, Juye, Shouzhang and other counties have sent their uneaten vegetables to Chaofu to thank the king for his benevolence......

In the green forest, the news that Chao Gai led the Zhuang soldiers to attack Liangshanbo has also spread. As a bigwig in the private business community of Jingdong Road, Chao Gai has become an eagle dog of the imperial court, and he will definitely make people laugh in the past, but with the Han Bolong incident, everyone will only give a thumbs up, and Chao Gai is a hero!

The heroes of the rivers and lakes are talking about a righteous word, and then the grievances are clear, and there is revenge! Chao Gai's courage and generosity were once again preached.

In the past two months, the positive image has been publicized, and the government has vigorously supported it. Chao Gai gained fame and fortune, and he should be jubilant but a little troubled. To be entangled in too much food, yes, is to worry about too much food.

Lord Ren of Yuncheng allocates 800 stones free of charge every month, and Zhizhou Shi Xianggong supports 500 stones. Coupled with the private official grain trade, during this period of time, the wealthy households in Jeju, Yunzhou, and Gunzhou spontaneously took out the hoarding of grain and sold it at a low price.

Chaojiazhuang has hoarded more than one million stones, and the grain transport team still comes every day. Chao Gai knew that he would be starving all over the place in a few years, and he wanted to continue to buy it, but it was too much, so he sold it to Liangshan, but Wang Lun, a rabbit cub, politely refused. Let him build more granaries to help store them, but he couldn't stop laughing.

He knew that the annual grain output of the Song Dynasty exceeded 100 million stones, and with the grain stored by wealthy families from all over the country, this amount was simply astronomical. I also understand the usefulness of my status as a good citizen, and how much I need to buy food in large quantities. As long as there is money, the official food will come automatically.

But if you fall into the grass, this convenience will disappear immediately. No matter how much the officials like money, they will not be able to fund the enemy, and if they don't have a good head, they will have to move.

There is too much food! Even if hundreds of restaurants divert and store tens of thousands of stones of grain, it will not help. Even if there are three or five thousand guards in Chaofu, there are many guards guarding the restaurant, no matter how hard and tiring the training is, they can't eat much.

More than 20,000 poor people in Chaojiazhuang can consume thousands of stones every day. But in the face of 1.8 million stone grain, it is still a drop in the bucket. During this time, the brewery successively recruited more than 2,000 apprentices, and it took time to ferment and consume a limit of food.

During this period, the income of various businesses gradually increased, and it was difficult to maintain expenses. If you have enough money to buy food, you have to think about spoilage!

Chao Gai summoned Wu Yong, Shi Xiu, Su Ding and others together to discuss. In the past, Wu Xue, who felt that there was too much food, came up and said that food is the lifeblood. Taking into account various factors, it was unanimously decided whether the grain purchase could not be stopped.

Because maybe when you have to fall into the grass, this convenience will be gone.

Food is the foundation of survival and must not be missing!

In the end, there was a compromise solution, the purchase of rice slowed down, and the purchase of wheat could be increased. The chefs of various restaurants secretly returned to the house to receive training.

Chaogai, the great chef, can only use his own unique abilities. Teach them to add eggs, water, sugar, baked cakes, bread and other new pastries to flour. It is hoped that there will be a new way out in this regard. On the other hand, it is to expand the brewery and seize the wine market......

In addition to this sad thing, the most surprising thing for Chao Gai was that perhaps the Jeju official army had lost battles one after another, or it could not bear the pressure.

Yuncheng Charge Si Song Jiang learned from the ancients to take the guilt of Jing please. The naked stripes were shirtless, carrying a few wattles on their backs, and came to the house to ask the king for forgiveness. said that he had eyes but no beads, and befriended a white-eyed wolf like Han Bolong. I couldn't bear the righteousness before, so I couldn't turn it around and send it to Chao Mansion to ask for guilt.

This black guy opened his eyes and told lies like a decent person, and pretended to choke and cry, begging for forgiveness. Speaking of which, there are still many people with heads and faces. Wu Yong, Shi Xiu, Su Ding and others all wanted to kill this guy. If Li Kui hadn't been hugged by the guards, he would probably have been killed out of the house.

Chao Gai saw that his fateful opponent was so compromised, and he wanted to kill this guy even more, but unfortunately he was extremely cunning and knew the terrible truth of human words. invited a lot of witnesses, Zhu Tong, and Lei Heng were persuading.

I could only swallow this breath, show a look of embarrassment in front of everyone, and warmly invite this priest and everyone to go to the mansion as guests. Since this banquet, the matter of the two of them releasing their previous suspicions has become a beautiful conversation!

Fuck your uncle's nice talk, it's not over! That's what Chao Gai told his subordinates!
