The crowd followed closely behind, winding along the mountain road.

Among this group of people, except for Du Qian, Song Wan, Zhu Gui and others who are the old men of Liangshan, the rest of Lin Chong, Sanruan, Yang Zhi, and Zou Run himself are all on the mountain for the first time.

The Liangshan mountain is majestic, both sides of the mountain road are big trees hugging together, at this time in the cold winter, the branches and leaves of the trees are withered, and the spare vigorous and powerful branches go straight into the sky, like a sharp spear blade standing beside the road. In the middle of the mountain, a broken gold pavilion stands proudly and independently, the whole body is made of logs, the temperament is simple and generous, the top of the pavilion is full of snow, there is more than a foot thick, and the end is a good place to enjoy the mountain scenery.

Then turn around and come up, and see the big pass. In front of the pass, there are swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, and spears, and there are wooden cannon stones on all sides. The little minions on the wall of the wall had already been ordered, and in the cold mountain wind, they all stood up and bulged their bellies, shaking their spirits. Seeing Zou Run and the others walking to the front of the gate, a leader of the guards hurriedly ordered the door to open the door, and he also slipped down and greeted him respectfully.

Everyone immediately entered the pass, and the team flags were displayed all over the road on both sides, waving in the wind, making people feel strong after watching. After passing through two roughly the same passes, we arrived at the gate of the village.

I saw the high mountains on all sides, the three passes were majestic, the clusters were encircled, and the mirror surface in the middle was also like a flat land, and it could be three or five hundred zhang square; Leaning against the mountain pass is the main entrance, and there are transepts on both sides. Du Qian and Song Wan led Zou Run and his party to the Juyi Hall, where a good incense had already been burned and four animal offerings had been placed.

In the smoke, everyone lifted a tiger skin chair, placed it in the middle, and respectfully invited Zou Run to take a seat. Zou Run pushed it a few times, so he had to sit down.

Sitting on the top of the chair, I saw everyone in the hall standing with their hands tied, and Zou Run immediately spoke.

"Envoy Yang, this is a guest, so please sit in the guest seat first. When everything is done, then a feast is set up to entertain you. ”

Yang Zhi had nothing to do, so he went to the guest seat and sat down and watched quietly.

"Today's cottage is fortunate to have all the heroes gathered, the righteousness is clear, not more than in the past, set the seat, clear division of duties. Not only can we have a long-term friendship with our brothers, but also teach the cottage government decree to come out, the rules are followed, and the big and small leaders can know the top and bottom, know the respect and humility, and everyone is convinced, with one heart and one mind, and the cottage can grow stronger and stronger. ”

Just like the later world conference, Zou Run coughed twice, first set the tone, and explained the benefits and disadvantages, and then began to carry out personnel transfer and distribution.

"Lin Jiaotou is recommended by Chai Daguan, a martial artist, the crown of the cottage, and the style of the elderly, well-known in the rivers and lakes, please be the second leader."

Lin Chong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly excused himself: "Little Ke Lin Chong is just a rough brine puppet, but he only knows some guns and sticks, he has no learning, no talent, no wisdom and no skills, and it is not enough to be a pawn under the command of the owner of the village, how can He De dare to be the second leader of the cottage?" Now the owner of the village is in charge of Liangshan, and the Dengyun Mountain is also in the same vein as me, I smell Lin Long Zou Yuan, on the uncle of the owner of the village, on the high morality, this second chair, is none other than the leader of Zou Yuan. ”

Lin Chong pushed it, Zou Run was not surprised, he was originally a person with a bad reputation and loyalty. But I didn't expect Lin Chong to realize the subordination between Liangshan and Dengyun Mountain, and carried his uncle out, which made Zou Run a little surprised.

In fact, he originally planned to explain this issue later, but since Lin Chong brought it up, Zou Run also took the opportunity to explain it.

"Lin Jiaotou's words are wrong, and Zou has already planned this matter. At present, Liangshan Dengyun Mountain naturally belongs to the same body, but after all, the mountains are high and the water is far away, and the sound is difficult to pass. ”

Seeing that Zou Run changed his title, Sanruan also took the lead in inviting him, Du Qian and others followed, talking, persuading, pulling, pressing, and finally pulling Lin Chong to the second chair and sitting down, Lin Chong had to accept it with a wry smile.

"The two leaders of Du Qian and Song Wan are the fathers of the cottage, and they have made outstanding contributions, so they will eat some grievances this time and sit in the third or fourth place."

Unexpectedly, his own seat was only one step back compared to before, Du Qian Song Wan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but these two people knew the severity, and naturally knew that compared to it, San Ruan was the confidant of the owner of the village, so they jointly resigned.

"By no means, we have no qualifications, but there is no merit, the three heroes of the Ruan family are famous in the Liangshanbo area, and the cottage naval army is all admired. The water army, the barrier of my Liangshan is also self-evident, and its importance is self-evident, dare to ask the owner of the village to take back his life, and ask the three heroes of the Ruan family to take a seat. ”

The brothers of the Ruan family were shocked when they heard this, and the three of them were also like Lin Chong, they only put righteousness first, and never valued this secondary position, so they also made excuses one after another, saying that they had no merit and no merit, and they were willing to attach to Jiwei.

Now it's Zou Run's turn to groan, this arrangement of seats, it seems to be ordinary, but in fact it is related to the stability of the cottage, as the so-called name is not right, it is not good, the stability and harmony of the leadership team directly affect the development momentum of the entire Liangshan.

In terms of ability and loyalty, the Ruan brothers naturally sit firmly in the third, fourth, and fifth positions, but now that the cottage is preliminary, some of Wang Lun's henchmen and supporters urgently need to be appeased, this Du Qian Song Wan has great influence in this regard, and must be given enough respect and decency, it seems that this time can only be wronged by these three good brothers.

Zou Run quietly gave Ruan Xiaoer an apologetic look, Ruan Xiaoer immediately understood, he waved his hand, and also adopted the same method of treating Lin Chong, and together with Zhu Gui, the four of them pulled the unwilling Du Qian Song Wan to Lin Chong and sat down.

Du Qian and Song Wan couldn't bear the pull of a few people, and sat down with a wry smile. As for the remaining four, there is no suspense, Ruan Xiaoer sat in the fifth position, Ruan Xiaowu sat in the sixth position, Ruan Xiaoqi was seventh, Zhu Gui was eighth, and everyone agreed.

The seat in the hall has been decided, Zou Run no longer has a solemn and serious face, he has a smile on his face, and turned to Du Qian Song Wan to ask about the cottage money, food, and people.

Speaking of the number of men and horses, these two people quickly reported the number, Liangshan currently has more than 600 people, of which the number of people who can participate in the battle is more than 400, of which half are the navy, and the rest are old and weak women and children. As for the horses, Liangshan also has a bit of a foundation, once robbed a group of horse dealers, and there are currently more than 30 war horses on the cottage, which makes Zou Run secretly happy.

But when he asked about another important thing of money and food, the two looked at each other, and it took a long time to confide the truth, it turned out that when Wang Lun was the owner of the village, the money and grain accounts of the cottage were never in the hands of others, all of them were handled by him, and all the account books were locked in his study, and idlers were not allowed to approach.

Zou Run couldn't laugh when he heard it, a good owner of a cottage with hundreds of people, he didn't think about how to grow the cottage and develop his strength, but he had to be a bookkeeper who had to be a baht. However, this was also convenient for Zou Run to take over, and he ordered someone to pry open the study and take out all the accounts.

On the Juyi Hall, a table was set up, Zou Run sat in it, carefully opened the pages one by one, ordered someone to take a pen and paper, and then buried his head in hard calculations.

Lin Chong and others were curious, and when they came up to see, they saw Zou Run's pen flying, a page of dense accounts, he only glanced at a few glances, and then drew a few twisted and strange symbols on the white paper on the side, and then turned the next page, and so on, five or six books full of ledgers, Zou Run alone, a pen, only took half an hour to complete the calculation.

When Zou Run did not shy away from announcing the results of his calculations in front of everyone, there were about 27,000 gold, silver and copper coins in the Liangshan treasury, and more than 1,800 stones of various grains. Well...... Of course, this figure also includes the three thousand guan in the small private treasury that Wang Lun quietly set up.

This is why Wang Lun worked hard and insisted on doing the accounts in person, but it was a pity that all his hard work was cheap in the end, and after being shaken out by Zou Run, he also incurred a burst of infamy, and even the honest man Du Qian Song Wan couldn't look at it, and scolded Wang Lun for being black-hearted - he was stunned by himself and paid more than one-tenth of the gold and silver, and his appearance was too ugly.

Seeing Zou Run's three times divided by five, he sorted out the accounts of the cottage for several years with a relaxed face, for the two final figures of 20,000 and 1,008, Lin Chong was still suspicious, Sanruan also grabbed his scalp, and Zhu Gui was speechless. In the end, Du Qian and Song Wan were worried about some omissions and errors, so he asked to call a few minions who were good at arithmetic in the cottage and instructed them to go to various warehouses to check them quickly.

Zou Run had nothing to do, he called a bowl of tea and waited while drinking.

There was a delay of two hours inside and outside, and when it was getting late, Yang Zhi had already left the guest room to rest, and when the candles were lit in the hall and the brazier was raised, these minions finally checked the numbers of the calculation and the check and reported it.

The answer, of course, is pretty much the same......

At this time, Lin Chong and the others were all discolored, looking at each other speechlessly, with a face full of disbelief.

The two companions who came from Dengyun Mountain quietly told everyone about the miraculous thing of the dream of their own village owner, and everyone "woke up like a dream", and each looked at Zou Run's eyes with a trace of inexplicable meaning - it turned out that they regarded the Arabic numerals and operation symbols written by Zou Run as some kind of mysterious Taoist symbol.
