Training is expensive!

Very expensive!

Ghost Li relied on robbing the surrounding cottages to get enough food and meat for himself to train the troops, and relied on the steel knife in his hand to force the group of mountain bandits to train honestly.

But Liang Wanshen can't do these things, so he can only use money, much more money than Li Gui, to achieve the same effect.

Of course, he was unwilling to pay out of his own pocket, so he reached out to Ding Zhixian to ask for it.

Of course, Ding Zhixian was reluctant to give, but he had to give, so he had to hit the people of the county again.

This bandit King Kong has received it once, and now he will soon accept it for the second time!

The reason is very simple, I lost the last time I suppressed the bandits!

If all the people who went there are dead, won't they give them a bereavement pension?

The last time the bandit gold was used up, of course I have to collect it again!

This kind of thing is very beneficial to all businessmen and people, and there is no need for you to go into battle, so what's wrong with collecting some money from you?

I didn't see that the newly recruited soldiers were training every day!

This money is all used for these soldiers, and the funds are earmarked!

After training the soldiers and exterminating the bandits, everyone can naturally sit back and relax and do not have to worry about being harmed by the thieves.

With such an upright reason, if anyone dares not to pay the money, it is clear that he is a fellow thief, and he will not be punished!

With the order of the county honor, a group of officials immediately ran all over the ten miles and eight townships and began the journey of collecting taxes.

Of course, the gentry and magnates do not have to pay this kind of miscellaneous tax, but ordinary merchants, craftsmen and farmers can't get rid of it, everyone has a share, and the merchants with more money will charge more, and the farmers with less money will pay less.

Life was already difficult, but now when encountering this kind of apportionment, many people are suddenly forced to live.

Zhu Fu is one of them.

Although he opened a hotel outside the West Gate, the income was not much, and he had many friends in the rivers and lakes, and he had to come over from time to time to play an autumn breeze.

It's okay in the past, but with some savings in daily life, I can always get by.

Who knew that this year, there was a troublesome scene of Ghost Li, and a group of people came down to investigate, and even Master Li Yun suffered, and the old ones in the yamen were changed.

The newly appointed head and official are still not allowed to go up and down and make friends?

In order to avoid trouble, he had no choice but to break the fortune and avoid disasters, and sent out the guy who came to the door to "investigate", and then the new Bodhisattvas who should be worshiped were worshiped one by one, and most of the family wealth was immediately spent.

Then Xinzhi County wanted to collect and suppress the bandits, and set a painful standard for him, a "big household".

It was easy to pass this pass, and seeing that everything was getting better, Master Li Yun became the head of the capital again, and as a result, this second round of bandit gold came again.

He tried to find Li Yun, the head of the capital, but Li Yun couldn't intervene in this matter.

If it is issued by the county, the standard will be according to the first payment!

If you were able to give so much last time, but this time you will give less, that is, you are dissatisfied with the yamen and are suspected of being a bandit!

After returning from Li Yun's mansion, looking at the dismal business in the hotel, Zhu Fu sighed, simply closed the door and locked it, hung up the sign that it was closed, made two side dishes by himself, and poured himself a pot of wine.

After a pot of wine was put down, the wine swelled up, and the more Zhu Fu thought about it, the more angry he became.

He worked hard to run the hotel for more than ten years, and finally saved a little savings, but because of this bullshit bandit, he suddenly became a poor bastard.

Whose pocket did the bandit gold end up in, when he didn't know?

If 30% of it can be used by the soldiers for training, he will cut off his head and kick it as a ball!

And as long as he thought that behind the Li ghost, it might actually be supported by Mrs. Liu, he guessed that most of the two bandits were also in vain, and he would definitely collect the third bandit gold at that time.

He can still rely on borrowing to support himself this time, but what about next time?

What about the fourth, fifth?

What a dog's way of the world!

I really don't leave a way for good people to live!

Zhu Fu shook the wine jug, poured a little residual wine into his mouth, and then slammed it to the ground, smashed the pot to pieces, lifted the table, staggered up, and scolded at the sky:

"Straight sissy thief!"

"Since a good person can't do it, Grandpa simply goes up the mountain and falls into the grass!"

Just do what he said, with this little wine, Zhu Fu took a single knife, walked out of the hotel, locked the door, and staggered towards Yushan.

-----------------

Since sweeping the villages and unifying Yishui, the name of Yushanzhai has spread, and the most obvious result is that the number of people who come to the cottage has increased day by day.

Now it's not an exaggeration to say that Ghost Li is now the leader of the underworld rivers and lakes in Yishui County, and others have to give some face when they go there.

After having this name, Li Ghost also initially has the qualifications to make people bow down at first sight.

The grain, grass, pigs, sheep, etc. in the mountains are quite abundant, but they will run out sooner or later.

Although Li Gui didn't plan to use this place as a base to develop well, this cottage took shape step by step and became what it is today, which made Li Gui quite happy to cultivate, if he could leave this cottage, of course he was willing.

He didn't know what to do, and he didn't bother to do those things, if he had to bother to work hard to grow the cottage, he would rather kick it out of the way, so as not to make himself unhappy.

Since you have come to the Water Margin world, of course, you have to eat a large piece of meat, drink wine in a big bowl, and live freely and happily, so that this life is in vain!

As for the way to make money, he doesn't know any science and engineering methods, nor does he know business skills, and he is even more lazy to do any scientific research in person.

Even now, if they want to gather displaced people to cultivate their own farms, they live in cottages and have no fertile land for farmers to use.

After thinking about it, Li Ghost only thought of one way to generate income stably, and that was to set up a card to collect taxes!

What the yamen does, can't do it?

It is impossible to do business, in the past, so many emperors could rely on taxes to raise soldiers to fight, why can't he?

He will do what the government does!

However, the government always has all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and he can't learn this, so he simply fixes the taxes and doesn't charge a penny!

Whoever dares to charge an extra penny under his command will be hacked to death with a knife, and by the way, he will collect some luck.

Anyway, all the cottages around this area have been leveled by him, and there are no other bandits, if all the caravans that have collected taxes are given a small flag that pays taxes, they can let the caravans walk safely and unimpeded in various parts of the county.

Just like that firewood official, he relied on the rivers and lakes to have many friends, and often sent his small flags everywhere, and when others saw his chess pieces, they either gave face, or they were afraid of his revenge, and they didn't dare to rob him, which brought him a great reputation.

For businessmen, although paying 10% of the tax is much, it is nothing compared to the harsh taxes collected everywhere and the bandits and bandits who appear out of nowhere. As long as you make a few more trips, you can earn all the money back.

Just do what he said, while asking the new homeless people to start building the cottage, and strive to turn the dilapidated cottage into an impregnable fortress, he organized people to start cutting down trees and building roads in the wide area at the bottom of the mountain, preparing to set up cards.

The cut down trees are not transported up the mountain, and a few sentry boxes are built directly next to them, which are specially used by tax collectors, which can not only shelter from the wind and rain, but also sound gold to warn when the enemy is coming.

Just when the cottage was in full swing for construction, Zhu Fu arrived.
