Chapter Ninety-Six: The King Comes to Cry Poor
Time flies, and the next day is in the blink of an eye!
Ruan's three heroes are talking, and since they defected, they began to move their families to Shuibo Liang Mountain. First, the three brothers found the old woman and explained the matter. At first, the old lady complained a little bit that her son was ignorant. How can you go up the mountain and fall into the grass? ended up being a thief from generation to generation.
But when she learned about Wang Jin's tragic experience, the old woman's attitude changed, and she was very supportive of her son doing the right thing.
It can be seen that the old lady is an enlightened person!
Secondly, there are matters such as moving and visiting fishermen.
Wang Jin left a few minions to assist, handed over all the disposable money to Ruan Xiaoer as start-up capital, and instructed him to rather lack than overuse, and not to make up for it indiscriminately. After staying in Shijie Village for two days, he returned to Liangshan to prepare for the reception.
It's just that he just came back and hadn't convened a meeting with the leader to inquire about the situation, and Wang Lun, the head of money and grain, hurriedly came over: "Oh, big brother, you are back." ”
Wang Lun is still dressed in white, but his face is tired, and his eyes are bloodshot, which is caused by staying up late. When I saw Wang Jin, I cried that I was in a hurry to get money and food, and it seems that the situation of the cottage has been under a lot of pressure recently.
Wang Jin sighed in his heart, "Busyness makes people progress, and only by carrying weight can we move forward"! Enthusiastically pulled Wang Lun to sit down: "Brother, taking care of your body is the foundation of the revolution." Don't worry, the sky can't fall, sit down and have a cup of tea, and talk slowly. ”
Wang Jin ordered his guards to make the silver quill tea brought from Huazhou, took out the dried sauce fish brought back from Shijie Village, and washed a plate of red peaches.
Shang Guihua happened to change her clothes and came out, grabbing a handful of dried fish unceremoniously, and then taking a dice and sitting down. Hang Erlang's legs and be a listener. Hu Sanniang has learned the same, and she was gradually damaged by a woman who was full of problems.
Wang Jin's eyelids twitched, and he asked while eating: "Brother, how is the situation of the cottage?" ”
Wang Lun put down the teacup and reported with a bitter face: "The cottage claims to accept homeless people, and there are more and more people going up the mountain these days, and there were two or three hundred people yesterday. The consumption of money and grain has intensified, and there are still more than 4,000 stones of grain, which can last for more than two months at present, but as more and more people increase, this time will be shortened. ”
"This dried fish tastes good." Wang Lun smelled the fragrance of dried fish in sauce, and also picked up a piece and took a bite and praised it. Then he sighed with a sad face: "Brother, more importantly, there are only more than 800 yuan left in the treasury, and there are daily necessities such as cloth and medicinal materials purchased outside. ”
"The money is running out so soon?" Wang Jin frowned slightly, he remembered that the treasury had four thousand yuan. It's only been a few days, and there's not a quarter left.
Wang Lun saw that Wang Jin was a little displeased, and he opened his fingers and calculated: "Brother, all expenses need money, and the amount of food and drink is put aside." There are more than 1,000 minions on the mountain, each making a set of autumn and summer robes. The fabric alone and the silk thread cost a lot of money, not to mention the personnel allowance. Which new people are also included, more and more, how much does it cost......"
When the power of Liangshan was handed over, Wang Jin saw that there were many people with patches on their clothes. Orders were placed to purchase fabrics and women were asked to sew clothes for distribution. Everyone has a share in the cottage, but it is a lot of money to stabilize the cottage and win the hearts of the people. The cottage alone originally cost the old man more than a thousand times.
As more and more people go up the mountain, this cost increases dramatically.
Although it is not possible to meet all at once, it is possible to lend money, and others also need money. Whether it is to purchase grain or attract people to join the family to give settling-in allowances, or to build village stores, organize manpower training, purchase boats, etc., go up to the cottage to develop, down to eat, drink and Lazar, all ask for money.
In the past few days, there are more than 400 people who have dragged their families to join the mountains, and 40% of them are young and strong. At present, the total population of the mountain is 15600, and in addition to the extra labor, it is also a burden to the cottage, after all, there is no source of income at present.
Wang Jin made a drastic reorganization of Liangshan, and somewhat miscalculated the background of the cottage. Corruption is serious and poverty is higher than that of Shaohuashan.
Purchasing livestock, cloth, firewood, rice, oil and salt daily necessities, spending money like running water.
A penny, stumped the hero!
This is a wise saying, and it is applicable at all times. The cottage must have enough money and food reserves, otherwise people's hearts will fluctuate, the team will disperse, and the minions will have their own ways to make a living. In the words of later generations, it is bankruptcy.
"The problem is extremely serious." Wang Jin grinned a little when he understood the current situation.
Wang Lun hesitated for a moment, and finally put forward his opinion: "Brother, I suggest stopping the distribution and procurement of benefits, especially a large number of alcoholic ......."
"No way!" Wang Jin and Osmanthus spoke in unison.
Wang Lun looked at the two of them back and forth with puzzled faces, and Hu Sanniang was also a little puzzled.
"Brother, drinks are important." Wang Jin said that it was unfathomable. This time, he went south to Shandong and carried a small distillation device, which was to copy the practice of Shaohua Mountain. Purchasing distiller's grains to distill and purify, and selling them to generate income for cottages.
Shang Guihua, as an eyewitness and a smart woman, naturally understood Wang Jin's plans. Wang Lun said that he would stop buying alcohol and subconsciously refused.
"It won't be long before you know." Wang Jin stopped Wang Lun, who wanted to ask. Diverted the topic: "This time I went out, and invited a few heroes and a group of people. Entering the water army can catch fish and pick some big ones to sell. ”
"I'll save this." Wang Lun's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head: "This method can improve the situation of cottages in the long run, and the current situation is worrying." It is better for the cottage to stop accepting refugees and temporarily slow down the distribution of benefits. The cottage food is sufficient, and it is supplemented by fresh lake food, and then the quota is reduced, and three meals a day are turned into two meals. It can last for a while longer, at least four months. ”
The more Wang Lun spoke, the more excited he became, and he moved out his previous set: "When the rice matures in June and July, the minions will go down the mountain to harvest." Detained a little more from the passing caravans, and the cottage dilemma was solved. ”
Wang Jin listened to Wang Lun's suggestion and looked up and down, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha......, brother, your suggestion is good, it's all for the cottage." It is good to be diligent and thrifty, open source and reduce expenditure, but it is a bit excessive! There is not a single suggestion to take the initiative to attack, it is all defensive. ”
Wang Lun's face turned a little red, and he wanted to say something.
Wang Jin waved his hand to stop it, and poured him another cup of tea: "Brother, I don't blame you, and I'm very happy, it's a good thing for you to think about the cottage." It means that you have untied the knot, joined the group and become a member of us. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Jin's tone changed: "But, brother, our Liangshan gang is the king of the mountain. Raiding houses and robbing houses is the old business, and if there is no money and food, I will rob it, and now the dilemma of the cottage is left to me to solve. ”
"Borrowing grain from the rich?" Wang Lun immediately thought of the real means of survival of the cottage. He didn't want to be so desperate, because he didn't want to cause official encirclement and suppression.
"Whoever has money and food will be beaten." Wang Jin responded as a matter of course: "As early as a few days ago, I asked Brother Zhu Gui to collect intelligence and screen suitable targets around. Then I will go down the mountain overnight, and in the past few days, I should come and ......."
As if verifying, a minion rushed into the Juyi Hall like a fly: "King, Zhu Gui led people up the mountain and said that there was something important to report. ”
"Holy!" Wang Jin was slightly surprised. Wang Lun's hands trembled, he almost knocked over the teacup and wet his crotch, he said his name one second, and the next moment he came!
This really means that Cao Cao Cao is here!
