"It seems that the second-level forces are heavier than I imagined. ”

Looking at the mountain scenery in front of him, Qin Shujian fell into deep thought.

All the way.

He is testing where the bottom line of the ancient style is.

But it's a pity.

No matter how tempted, the other party never showed the slightest clue.

This also made Qin Shujian understand one thing, that is, the Liangshanzhai of the second-level forces also has a weighty status in the eyes of the carrier firm that runs through the thirteen mansions of Dazhao.

No.

Or should it be precise.

It is in the mortal realm, with a position of weight.

Qin Shujian would not be so arrogant as to think that with a group of mountain bandits who had entered the martial arts sixfold, and he, the leader of the mountain bandits who had entered the martial arts tenfold, he could really claim the king and hegemony outside.

Where he can really be kings and dominate.

That is, on the acre of three points of land in the mortal domain.

And this.

Or is it because in the mortal realm, there can be no strong people who surpass the ten levels of martial arts.

Otherwise, it is still unknown whether a second-level force can maintain its current status.

But.

This time Gu Feng came, but Qin Shujian saw some good aspects.

That is, the antique calligraphy and paintings that have been piled up have finally come into use.

Five thousand taels of silver were exchanged for food, and judging from the current population of Liangshanzhai, it was enough to consume for a long time, even if it would continue to expand in the future, it would still be able to hold out for a long time.

Think of expanding.

Qin Shujian suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

——

Zhongyi Hall.

Qin Shujian directly summoned Zheng Fang and a few people.

"What is the matter with the owner of the village coming to us?" everyone looked at each other, and finally Zheng Fang asked first.

Qin Shujian looked at a few people and said lightly: "Now in the boundary between the Chaotic Stone Forest and the Liangshan Realm, how many villages are there, and how many people are there?"

Hear the words.

Zheng Fang and the others glanced at each other.

In the end, Xu Yuanming said: "There are seven villages in the Chaotic Stone Forest, the large population is thousands, and the small population is only one or two hundred, and the estimated number is about six or seven thousand. ”

It's the same as Liangshanzhai.

In the past, forces such as Chuanyunzhai would also collect protection fees from nearby villages.

The way they collect is also according to the number of people, so Xu Yuanming doesn't know how many people there are in each village, but he can also roughly know a number.

The other side.

Wang Tiezhu also replied: "There are five villages in the Liangshan boundary, the big ones have a thousand people, and the small ones are one or two hundred, and the total number is about three thousand. ”

"In the past, how many taels of silver would be offered to these villages every year?" Qin Shujian asked again.

Wang Tiezhu did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "According to the proportion of the number of young and strong people in the village, each young man is one or two silver per year. ”

"It's the same with the Stone Forest. ”

Hear the words.

Qin Shujian also had an estimate in his heart.

According to what Wang Tiezhu said, there are now five villages in the Liangshan region, adding up to two or three thousand people, and if you discard the old and young, the young and strong will probably occupy one-third or one-quarter.

In a year, it is less than a thousand taels of silver.

Judging from the population ratio of Liangshanzhai before, it will consume seven or eight hundred taels a year.

In this way, it is barely enough to break even.

Qin Shujian finally understood why the previous Liangshanzhai was so poor.

"I plan to change the rules of the offering now. After a long groan, Qin Shujian said slowly.

Zheng Fang arched his hand and said: "I hope that the master of the village will speak bluntly, I will listen!"

"In the future, the village will collect the proportion of young and strong people, and change it to the number of households and the number of people, and each household within five people will receive one tael of silver, and every five more people will be charged one tael in the future. ”

As Qin Shujian spoke, he looked at everyone's faces.

After a pause, he continued: "In addition, Liangshanzhai recruits mountain bandits from all villages, as long as they are young and strong, each family will send one young man, and the silver will be reduced by half, and the silver will be exempted from the three cases.

If each village is in proportion to the population, more than half of the young and strong people who join the Liangshanzhai village will be exempted. ”

As soon as these words came out.

Many of them are slightly discolored.

Only Zheng Fang's face remained unchanged, and his hand seemed to pause for half a minute.

Qin Shujian turned a blind eye, and continued: "In the same way, the proportion of young and strong people in each village joining Liangshanzhai is less than thirty percent, and the silver supply for each household in the village is doubled.

If you don't, you know what to do!"

"Don't worry, we know what to do!"

Everyone else bowed their heads in response.

In the last sentence, they smelled a strong smell of slaughter.

Now no matter who it is, they already understand what Qin Shujian is going to do.

This is clearly to expand the Liangshan cottage.

And.

Or expand by the most direct and hard-line means.

If the other party's order is carried out, in a short period of time, it is absolutely possible for the bandit population in Liangshanzhai to increase by two or three times on the original basis.

Similarly.

The stronger the strength of Liangshanzhai, the greater the benefits they get as people of Liangshanzhai.

However, this is not without hidden dangers.

Niu Feng said in a deep voice: "If you do this, the silver taels offered will definitely be greatly reduced, and it will also be a big problem for the brothers to increase their consumption at that time." ”

"Don't worry, I know that, don't forget what we do, the silver taels from these villages are not the main source of income. Qin Shujian said with a light smile.

Since he made this decision, he must have thought about it.

Hear the words.

Niu Feng suddenly felt in his heart.

That's right.

They are the forces of the Green Forest.

There are many sources of income in the green forest.

Everything comes more than the protection money that is provided, and it must come quickly.

Especially with the strength of Liangshanzhai today, it is estimated that there are few people who can compete with it.

Then the boundary between Liangshan and the chaotic stone forest is not impossible to stretch out.

Subsequently.

Qin Shujian looked at Zheng Fang again and said, "On the side of the Yanwu Hall, we must do a good job of teaching the exercises, and improve our strength as much as possible in the short term."

At the very least, it should be able to bring it out, so that it is not useless at all. ”

"The owner of the village can rest assured that there will be no problems with Yanwutang. ”

"Hmm. ”

——

Night.

Inside the room.

Qin Shujian was playing with a bronze token in his hand, and the information about the token came to his mind.

He was actually very interested in this accidental token, and the information about the unknown cave hidden in the token.

It's just that it was important to deal with No. 23012 Novice Village before, so I didn't pay too much attention to it.

Now that things are temporarily idle, Qin Shujian also plans to take a look at where this so-called unknown cave mansion is.

With the mind immersed in the bronze token.

A vague connection is born, and it gradually becomes solidified.

Meanwhile.

A place name coordinate appeared in Qin Shujian's mind.
