When this Liangshan was in the hands of Wang Lun, there were seven or eight hundred small minions, and after Chao Gai and others came, they led dozens of good hands to come in.

With the grain and grass stored on Liangshan, it is not a problem to supply 1,000 people, enough to eat for a year and a half.

But if thousands of people and horses in Qingfeng Mountain have also migrated to Liangshan, then the problem is big, there were originally more than 200 people on Qingfeng Mountain, Niu Gao captured more than 1,000 people and horses in Huarong, and then thwarted the encirclement and suppression of 5,000 officers and soldiers in Qingzhou, and collected almost 2,000 people, plus the hungry people in the vicinity who were not in decline, this number of people will break through 4,000 people, and if it converges with the soldiers and horses on Liangshan, 5,000 people and horses are only a lot more.

The food and drink of these 5,000 people is really not a small problem, although Li Xiake is to let Chao Gai manage logistics things, but Chao Gai is just a village Baozheng background, and it is okay to manage the people in the village, but it is a bit of a hurry to manage the affairs of so many people's eating, drinking, and Lazar, and every time he has a meeting, he reports all kinds of problems to Li Xiake.

You let him gather in the mountains and forests, and run outside to contact heroes from all over the world, it is his ability, but it is indeed not his forte to manage a sum of accounts and expenses, plus the distribution of grain and grass, etc., so this time Li Xiake asked him to lead the people to Laizhou to open up a salt field and open up joints, Chao Gai is really overjoyed, that is what he is best at.

At this time, Li Xiake Liangshan was entrenched, if he relied on robbery for a living, as long as he did not attack the state capital, everyone in Liangshan could live a good life, but if he eliminated the idea of robbery, then he had to find a way to earn money and buy food seriously.

At this time, although corruption was rampant, the traitors in the court and the central government were in power, and the Son of Heaven was mediocre and incompetent, but it was not yet the time to break his muscles and bones, Li Xiake wanted to start an incident, one was the wrong time, one was not enough personnel, and the other was that the reputation was not loud enough, and the tentacles had not been protruded, and there was not much difference from the bandits who gathered to make trouble, so he needed time to develop, and he needed a stable place for development, and this beam was the most ideal place.

As long as the people of Yangsan do not gather to rebel and do not cause trouble, I believe that Jeju Mansion will never be stupid enough to embarrass Li Xiake.

And if you want to bury your head in development, it is nothing more than the three elements of money, food and people, Li Xiake asked Chao Gai and others to go to Laizhou to open a salt farm, just to make money.

Nowadays, the right to operate salt and iron is all attributed to the imperial court, and the salt of the government is difficult for ordinary people to afford, that is, private salt, which is also very difficult to buy in ordinary people's homes.

If it monopolizes the private salt trade in the north and south of the Yangtze River, the annual income of one million silver is just a piece of cake.

As long as there is this private salt made, gather people and horses, and cooperate with the local government, there will be no worry about no grain and grass, but private salt is only a part, and the shochu workshop will have to be opened in the future, as a pillar industry for the development of Liangshan, as for other commercial means, step by step, there are people with money, people with weapons, and naturally people will follow.

This Jeju Prefecture is close to the Grand Canal, there is a convenient location, if it is well controlled, south to Suzhou and Hangzhou, north to the Daimyofu, north to the north of the Lord's Mansion, there are many articles, based on this, the tentacles will be extended to all parts of the country, slowly penetrate, no need to worry, the time comes, natural success.

However, this is a matter for the future, and the first problem to be solved now is to buy the food first.

However, it is said that near Liangshan, there is a Dulonggang, and there are three villages distributed in this Dulonggang, namely Zhujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang, and Lijiazhuang.

These three Zhuangzi are very large, add up to 20,000 or 30,000 families, do business and farm on weekdays, practice guns and sticks when they are idle, the three villages have made a covenant, if there are thieves to commit, they will take care of each other, and jointly respond to the enemy, which can be called a rare local hero, that is, it is also a little implicated with the local government, and the fame of Liangshan is greater than that of Liangshan today.

Li Xiake led Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi, led hundreds of soldiers, went down Liangshan, walked out of Shuibo, and Zhu Gui had already greeted him from the South Bank Hotel, and said: "Sir, if you want to buy grain, you have to go to the vicinity of the canal. ”

Today's Jeju is "the big county of Donglu, the key point of land and water", because of the benefit of the Grand Canal, gathered merchants from all over the north, south, east and west, and Qinglou liquor stores are lined up along the river, and it is very prosperous.

When Li Xiake and others came here, they saw the prosperity of this place, they were all amazed, and then everyone came to a restaurant, which was called Taibai Building, which was the place where Li Bai drank at the beginning, which was extremely famous.

On the second floor, I asked for wine and food to drink and watch the scenery, and I saw that on the canal not far away, the merchant ships were lined up, many people were loading goods at the wharf, and there were also Qinglou painting boats, and the piano music was faintly transmitted, which was a prosperous scene.

At this time, although it has reached the cold winter season, the waterway of this wharf is still prosperous.

Lu Zhishen looked at it for a while and said: "People who died of freezing and starvation outside the city can be seen along the way, but here is so prosperous, just a few miles apart, it is heaven and earth!"

At this time, it is the cold winter season, the situation in Shandong is cold and unbearable, and the common people have nothing to protect from the cold, coupled with the locust plague and drought attack, even if half of the life is left, it is difficult to support it in this winter, so it freezes to death and starves to death.

Li Xiake frowned, and said to Yang Zhi: "Go back and let your brothers come to Jeju Mansion to collect the victims and take them all to Liangshan, how many can be saved." Regardless of men, women, and children, those who are willing to go will be pulled up the mountain. ”

Yang Zhi was shocked: "Sir, there are thousands of victims in this Jeju Mansion, how can we afford it?"

Li Xiake said with a smile: "It's okay! Let's raise them for a winter, it's not in vain, we go up and down the mountain, build a city, do laundry and cook, there are no people!"

Lu Zhishen said: "If it costs like this, Chao will cover their 100,000 Birthday Gang, I'm afraid it won't last long!"

Li Xia Ke said: "If you should spend it, you have to spend it, and if this person should be saved, you can be saved! The court doesn't care, let's take care of it!"

During the discussion, I heard the sound of footsteps, several big men came over, these men were wearing brocade hats and mink fur, at first glance it was a rich and noble family, and it was a young man who was surrounded in the middle, this man gave birth to a good white skin, straight nose and mouth, eyes flying obliquely into the sideburns, a pair of eyes were cool as water, and then his drooping hands sat a middle-aged man, in his thirties, three wisps of beard, slender eyes, tall and burly, although not as majestic as Li Xiake, but also deeper than Lu Zhi, Yang Zhidu was half a head taller, and the rest of the people dressed up were all around a table, ordering wine and food.

"Good man!"

Lu Zhishen looked at a few big men and heroes, couldn't help but look at them a few more times, and praised Li Xiake: "They are all great masters, especially this young man and that middle-aged man, they are very remarkable!"

When the people at the table saw Lu Zhishen looking at them, they nodded to Lu Zhishen and raised their glasses with a smile.

Lu Zhishen was overjoyed, and also raised his wine glass, bowed to these people, drank a glass of wine, and nodded to each other.

At this moment, a young man helped a woman to the restaurant and said softly, "Mother, slow down." ”

The woman said, "My son, our family is poor, and we only have a bite to eat at a nearby shop, what are you doing in this restaurant?"

The young man said: "The ancestors used to drink and have fun here back then, and now the restaurant is still there, but the ancestors are gone, I want to come here to see!"

The woman said, "It's okay, you should take a look at it, and don't forget the skills of your ancestors!"

While he was talking, a drunken drinker in the next seat staggered to his feet, and when he went downstairs, a stumbling man was crashing into the woman.

The young man was taken aback, stretched out his hand and gently pushed, and said, "Go!"

The drunkard's body flew up suddenly and smashed into the nearest wine table, which was the person at the table who smiled at Lu Zhishen.

The drunk flew quickly, and by the time they could react, they had already smashed over.

The middle-aged man with a beard on the table reached out and grabbed it gently, intending to catch the drunk, but with a "snort", he scratched his clothes, and the big man still smashed the table, smashing all the wine and food on the table, and splashing the soup.

Several people couldn't dodge, and their bodies were also splashed with spots.

The young man in the center was furious, stood up, and strode towards the young man holding the woman: "Boy, why are you so cross?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the young man's shoulder: "I'll teach you a lesson for your father!"

When the young man saw him grasp the palm of his hand, he slapped it out and met the young man's palm.

"Bang!"

The palms intersected, the two bodies shook at the same time, the whole restaurant shook three times, the young man stood still, the young man in brocade clothes and ermine fur took two steps back, his face suddenly turned red, revealing a shocked look, and looked at the young man holding the woman: "Good boy, who are you?"
