Chapter 400: A Special Guest
The loss of the Yinmachuan branch affected the purchase of horses, cattle and sheep.
But if Seon loses his horse, he doesn't know if it's a blessing! In addition to avoiding the dispersion of troops within the territory of Liao. A battle that showed its muscles to the Liao Kingdom. Laid the foundation for cooperation! There will be no resistance to the purchase of horses, cattle and sheep in the future.
Liaoguo received a report and did it unintentionally. The Song Dynasty did it on purpose. In the past three or two months, it should be said that the imperial court has listed Liangshan as a giant. The surrounding state capitals and counties deliberately targeted Liangshan.
For example, various special products originating from the water pool, some government governments prohibit the sale and confiscation, set up checkpoints to check caravans, and strictly prohibit the delivery of materials to the water pool. As a result, the surrounding vendors did not dare to come to buy special products, which affected the income of the cottage, and the caravans by land were gradually decreasing, making the cottage passive.
For this reason, Yangsan gave a strong counterattack to this blockade. Squads of cavalry haunt like ghosts, but if the card is broken by force, the leader will be killed. The most cheerful official was also assassinated in his home......
Repeat two or three times, and no more levels!
Liangshan, a mountain that never robs houses, is abnormal, almost every day to go up the mountain, and acts every night. It is specially aimed at the wealthy households around the water. As long as all the bad things are done, it will definitely be difficult to avoid the boiling of public resentment.
One by one, the landlords and gentry of the common people were eliminated, and the furniture of the manor and the fields under their names were distributed to the poor people in the surrounding areas. Liangshan will also go door-to-door to distribute money and food, or help bedridden patients in a timely manner.
"Eliminate harm for the people, eliminate violence and peace and goodness" is Liangshan's slogan.
The kings of Liangshan are affectionate and righteous, which is the voice of the people on the edge of Shuibo.
Dozens of rich people with bad deeds were borrowed from grain and tried by the public assembly
Execute. Deterring more wealthy families and officials, they have been a lot more honest recently. Not to mention plundering and forcibly marrying, I dare not do it by trickery in order to annex land. Even the hiring of thugs to force the collection of debts was terminated, and the land rent returned to normal......
For fear that someone will report it to Liangshan and cause the disaster of annihilation!
So much so that Liangshan did not collect intelligence for most of the month, and did not go down the mountain to eliminate the harm. The people around them were not oppressed, but lived a stable life. As long as the king of Shuibo Liangshan is there, the rich officials dare not do bad things.
Liangshan's elimination of local tyrants touched the interests of many people. Jeju, Yunzhou, Yanzhou, Puzhou and other places flew to Bianliang City like snowflakes.
Jeju guards Uncle Zhang's night, and Yunju guards Chen Wenzhao's report is particularly detailed. It is said that there are definitely masters in Shuibo Liangshan, knowing that the troops of the surrounding state capitals are empty, but instead of attacking the city, but choosing to hibernate, there must be other plans.
However, one after another, the report sank into the sea. The imperial court did not approve it, nor did it mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress Liangshan. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it!
Tianhu in Hedong, La, and Wang Qing in Huaixi all openly rebelled and claimed to be emperors. Shuibo Liangshan is just a robbery of houses, a disease of ringworm. The imperial court is already fighting on multiple fronts, and it is unable to take care of these mountain thieves.
Therefore, Liangshan's rampant behavior is helpless for the garrisons of various state governments. can only strengthen the vigilance, turn a blind eye, and let this group of strongmen be arrogant.
Jeju Yangsan, although it lost its sub-village of Yumacheon, but through cattle and sheep dealers affiliated with Yangsan. The purchase of cattle, sheep and livestock has not been greatly affected. Some time ago, Liangshan specialties were targeted, and income declined.
It's just that Liangshan shows great strength, and the county towns are also afraid of really provoking anger and attracting large armies.
No longer bothering about this kind of trivial matter, gradually returning to normal and even hitting new highs, Yangshan's various specialties sell well in more than 10 surrounding state capitals.
In addition to this, the sea salt trade in Yangsan is booming.
The salt eaten by the Song people includes sea salt, pond salt, soil salt, cliff salt and other types, and the production of sea salt is mainly used in Shandong. In Mizhou, Dengzhou set up official salt farms, but the output was not high and the price was high due to technical reasons.
Salt is a long-term necessity, and the people are exploited and miserable.
The salt island has occupied the coastal islands one after another, and the military port wharf suitable for human habitation has been built to settle the people, and the salt pans have been reclaimed from the enclosures with relatively harsh environments, and the seawater has been diverted to dry and disinfect, and the best sea salt has been harvested.
The number is so large that it is piled up like a mountain, which makes the cottage worried.
In addition to selling around Shuibo, Liangshan also attracted salt dealers from all over the world. For example, the king of Tota is one of the representatives, the business of Erlongshan is doing well, the low-price salt benefits the people at the bottom, and the salt dealers of all sizes are looking forward to Chao Gai, and the king of Qingzhou is famous.
In addition, Kim Daejian, a jade arm craftsman, lives in Yangsan and is responsible for liaising with Jeju salt dealers full-time. Every month will bring huge profits to Erlongshan. He also engaged in some tea business, and it was more than enough to purchase weapons, equipment, and food supplies.
At present, Erlongshan is recruiting troops and horses, and there are already two or three thousand people. It is also a small village near the Beiqing River to facilitate the acceptance of private salt......
Dulonggang Hu, Li Jiazhuang also sold illicit salt privately and became an agent in Yunzhou. In Yanzhou, Puzhou, Dongchangfu and other places, the private salt is all from Liangshan. The profits from the sale of illicit salt alone are enough to support the operation of the cottage.
Cheap table salt, that's a good thing!
Baocalf Mountain is a high-quality sea salt at a low price, which quickly stabilizes the people's hearts. The deliberate propaganda was learned by Tian Hu that Haiyan was sent by Liang Shan last time. His Majesty the Jin Emperor immediately issued an order and went to Liangshan to discuss the matter.
And on Wang Qing's side in Huaixi, there happened to be Liang Shan's filial piety to Haiyan, this guy who beat his father and scolded his mother but took shit luck, and also sent someone to Liangshan to discuss. It is necessary to put salt in the controlled areas to stabilize the people's minds and obtain benefits.
There are also caravans on the south side of the Yangtze River, providing a channel for sea salt. It's a pity that Fang La was unmoved, thinking that as long as he won the official salt field, why should he buy it? So he sent men to attack Mingzhou, the purpose of which was to occupy the salt division.
Same road, different choice!
Then let him go, Liang Shan will not have a hot face and a cold ass. Only the caravan was looking for people over there, and invited the literati who were hiding at home and did not dare to take the lead back to Jeju.
Jeju, Supo Yangsan.
The north camp and the south camp firecrackers rang out in unison, cheering and thundering. Hundreds of minions put up "welcome" banners to welcome two teams of special guests!
To the north came the command of Emperor Tian Hu of the Jin Dynasty in Hedong, and the leader of the team was Fan Quan. To the south is naturally the subordinates of Emperor Wang Qing of Chu, led by Li Zhu. They led a team to negotiate the sale of sea salt, and they arrived on the same day.
These men were well-dressed and well-armoured, and they were all riding tall horses. looks very bullish, especially the fifty-year-old Fan Quan, who is under Tian Hu and leads the team, relying on his own identity, putting on the majesty of an angel in the court, and saying "Your Majesty has a will, how is this official" and the like.
Liang Shan was not used to this guy, and the northern team warmly received him at the same time.
"Kill, kill, kill...... there is a neat formation of infantry phalanx training near it
Train. A small but not many cavalry, galloping on horseback. The man on the horse was clothed in iron armor, armed with a sharp sword, and the banner was hunting.
The shock of hundreds of cavalry charging at the same time was incomparable.
"Ah, it's not good, the enemy attacked ......, it's officers and soldiers!" Fan Guozhang, who was still boasting about how domineering his son-in-law was, saw the cavalry that suddenly rushed out, and was so frightened that his original form was revealed, his hat was crooked to the side, and he roared loudly.
"Hahaha......" The cavalry burst into laughter, whistling by, and some people jumped left and right to show their superb riding skills, which was terrifying.
Zhu Gui, who was in charge of the reception, was full of disdain, but he smiled and comforted: "Hehe, Guozhang, this is my Liangshan cavalry, and thousands of Liao cavalry were exterminated some time ago. The iron armor on their bodies is the standard equipment of the Liao State......"
This visiting chief is talking about the events of some time ago and bringing people on board! Tian Hu's subordinates listened to it with relish, and their faces were full of expressions that listened to your blowing.
