Water Margin Survival

"Hehe, it's so lively!"

When everyone was lamenting Wang Lun's foresight and foresight, they saw Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu coming hand in hand, accompanied by a dusty man. When Wang Lun saw this man, he was overjoyed and thought to himself that everything was ready this time. Even the east wind is here.

The generals of the navy army saw the three leaders approaching, and they all came forward to say hello with a smile. Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said, "What kind of wind is it today, so that several brothers gather on my Yazui Beach? Our navy Dazhai is It hasn't been this lively in a long time!"

Xiao Jiasui laughed, looked at the straightforward man and said: "Going to sea this time is related to the fate of my cottage, how can we sit still, no, let's come over with Brother Zhu Wu to see you all!"

Zhu Wu also laughed and said: "This time I want to cut flesh on the leaders, I am afraid that you will feel uncomfortable, so I came here to persuade you! You don't know, brother has already spoken, and there will be a big feast at noon to surprise everyone!"

"Master Zhu, you are underestimating our brothers in the navy! What is the name of that brother... By the way! In your heart, we are so unaware?" Ruan Xiaoqi looked at Zhu Wu and smiled.

Zhu Wujian said, shaking his head and laughing, he went straight to Ruan Xiaoqi and said: "It's the same thing to be enlightened or not, but the brothers in the navy are all taught by you, and this time they have gone so far. People, I don’t like putting it on anyone! My brother and I are afraid that you will feel uncomfortable, so we express our hearts specially!”

Zhang Shunjian said: "Our navy can contribute to the stronghold, which shows that we still have a place in my brother's heart! The military master doesn't know, I'll wait to hear about the meritorious deeds of the horse army today and the victory of the infantry army tomorrow. , Alas... let’s not talk about it! Just say that the cottage can use us this time, nothing to say, if you want people to make people, you need to work hard, even if my brother orders my generals, I will have nothing to say! Longtan and Tiger’s Den Let's go!"

Hu Cheng laughed and said: "Where is it that Zhang Shun's brother said so frighteningly? Going to the sea, it's not going up the knife mountain and down the oil pan! I don't know how many brothers, starting from our Laizhou, wengjin in Korea is only two It's just a scene in three days!"

When everyone heard it, they were very surprised and said: "So fast? What about Tamla Island?"

"My little brother has only been to that giant island once! Walking south along the shore from Wengjin, it may take five or seven days to arrive!" Hu Cheng laughed.

Ruan Xiaoqi was amazed when she saw it, and sighed: "So it's so close! I'm afraid that brother Li Jun won't come back in a year or so!"

In fact, it is not to blame that Ruan Xiaoqi is ignorant, but the management of maritime trade in the Northern Song Dynasty is loose in the south and strict in the north. Because Goryeo is close to the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty is afraid that there will be more exchanges, which will reveal the reality of the country.At this time, the Japanese state adopted the national policy of seclusion and isolation, which restricted the number of times the Song Dynasty merchants went to each year. The Song Dynasty had relatively sparse exchanges with the eastern and northern countries, but the two Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangnan and other places traded with the countries in the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. It's in full swing.

Because of this, how do the people in the inland know the distance of the nearby Fan Kingdom.

At this time, everyone burst into laughter, Ruan Xiaoqi scratched his head, looked at everyone and laughed.Xiao Jiasui and others stepped forward to meet Wang Lun. Wang Lun looked at Hu Cheng and asked, "When did you come back? Everyone has been invited?"

"The leader, the deputy leader, the direct warehouse, the miscellaneous affairs, the department leader, the foreman, the helmman, the fire chief, the anchorman, and the cableman are all invited. These people have been running private business all the year round, and they are all familiar with it, but no one is willing Luocao said he was going to help the cottage a few times, so he had to say goodbye!" Hu Cheng said a little ashamedly.

Gangshou and deputy gangshou are the captain and deputy captain. Zhiku, also known as Zhuku, manages weapons on board; It is better to understand these things, such as helmsman and boatman, and the affairs they are responsible for are literally.Ever since he set up the cottage and was preparing to go to sea, Wang Lun had also made up for this kind of common sense, so he was not surprised by Hu Cheng's words at this time.

"What about the boat master? How many people have you invited?"

Wang Lun asked, these boat masters are indispensable talents in long-distance voyages. They know geography, watch the stars at night, the sun during the day, and the compass when it is dark.This kind of talent is as important to the fleet as a person's eyes.Without them, the fleet can only crash in the boundless sea.

"My little brother knows a whole family. The five men in this family have been doing this all year round. I have invited all of them here. Because the reputation of the cottage is very good among the people, they are all willing to work for my brother!" Here, Hu Cheng had some smiles on his face.

Wang Lun smiled, thinking that this Flying Tiger can speak.These people, like Gangshou, Zhiku, and miscellaneous people who don't want to fall into the grass, all live by the seaside of Deng and Lai. Although they are not far from Liangshan, they are not close.If it is said that the surrounding people feel the kindness of Liangshan and vote with their families, Wang Lun has no doubts.Only this family is willing to join the group, I'm afraid it's because Hu Cheng made his own efforts.Seeing him like this, Wang Lun didn't say anything, and said with a smile:

"As long as they are willing to go to Mount Liang, the village will not treat them badly! In addition, you tell them that as long as they can train a qualified boat master for my village, the reward will be [-] guan, and there is no cap on the top, the more the better! I, Wang Lun, keep my word. Tell them not to worry about teaching apprentices to starve to death, master!" An excellent sailor can often revitalize a fleet, and the future development of Liangshan will not be satisfied with only five sailors. This account, Wang Lun It's still worth it.

The secret technique of the boat master is generally not passed on to outsiders, it is passed down from father to son and brother.At first, Hu Cheng was afraid that Wang Lun would not understand these things, so he forced them to teach them their skills.It's just that this family is my old acquaintance, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult to be a good person when I get caught in the middle.

But at this time, after hearing what Wang Lun meant, he wanted to exchange huge profits for them to take the initiative to pass on their skills, so Hu Cheng felt relieved. After all, he had found a safe way of making money for them, so he was worthy of this friendship. At the moment I was overjoyed, and I kept saying yes.

Seeing this, the three military advisers all looked at each other and smiled. Since the village owner had considered it so thoroughly, they had nothing to add.It's just that when I think of the prospect of going to sea this time, I feel extremely emotional.

Nowadays, the number of people in the cottage is increasing rapidly every day. The embarrassment of the shortage of people in the cottage has long since changed. Now the primary problem has become that there are too many people going up the mountain!

This kind of situation that could not be obtained by asking for it in other cottages has now become a heavy burden on Liang Shan.In the past, they could barely handle it, but after the battle of Zhujiazhuang, the captives who went up the mountain, plus the farmers from Zhu and Hu villages who voluntarily went up the mountain, the total number exceeded [-] people.

At this time, if there is really a huge island that can divert and relieve pressure, isn't it really a solution to the urgent need?Not to mention the other benefits brought by having this island.

"Brother, when do you think the fleet will leave?"

At this time, I saw Li Jun speak out and ask.In the past few months, he ate and drank delicious food on Liangshan Mountain. A genius doctor like An Daoquan, who cannot be seen by outsiders, came to diagnose and treat his injuries every day. Wang Lun also came to visit him whenever he had time, and called this Zhien The man who posted the picture felt very guilty, and wished he could contribute to the cottage as soon as possible.

Seeing Li Jun's eagerness to fight, Wang Lun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let the brothers take advantage of these few days to get acquainted with the sea ships. After two days, let's ask the military master to pick a good and auspicious day. When the time comes, brothers Then you can take Tong Wei and Tong Meng out to sea!"

When Li Jun heard this, a smile appeared on his lips, and he nodded very solemnly. At this time, he only listened to Wang Lun's instructions: "I will send Jezhou Shuangli to go with you on the boat. Brothers, if you encounter any emergencies on the way, you can be treated by a doctor." , In addition, I will allocate another five hundred sets of leather armor, one thousand sets of paper armor, fifty war horses, one hundred magic arm bows, and two hundred bows and arrows, all of which you take with you in case of emergencies!"

Wang Lun thought for a while, and then said: "You heard it just now. Please come to the experienced sailors who go out to sea together. I'm afraid they will go back after two trips. So brothers will call more smart sailors to follow them and learn more. They have some real skills on us, so that we can go to sea without them in the future! In addition, these five boat masters also send more apprentices to serve them. Don’t be afraid of hardship and scolding. When they are of great use!"

"Brother, don't worry! I will live up to my brother's high expectations when I go!" Li Jun cupped his hands, and Tong Wei and Tong Meng also expressed their determination aloud when they saw this.

"I wish you a smooth journey, brother, and I will wait for your good news in the cottage!" Wang Lun smiled at this hero who would go to sea and become the lord of a country in the future, and nodded with great reassurance.For his ability, Wang Lun is still very confident.

"Okay! Everyone is busy, so I won't bother you!" Wang Lun smiled and cupped his hands to the leaders of the navy.Everyone clasped their fists in return.

At this time, Li Jun left Tong Wei and Tong Meng here to receive the staff, and invited Hu Cheng to meet with all the acquaintances he had invited. Wang Lun also went to the Juyi Hall with several military advisers. On the way, Wang Lun asked Hu Cheng, "How is your sister doing now?"

"Thank you brother for caring! Several sisters-in-law persuaded me, and I became more cheerful. Last time, I went to the village of An Shenyi to thank him for his kindness in saving..." When Hu Cheng said this, he suddenly hesitated.

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Wang Lun was puzzled and asked, "Is this not a good thing? Are you going to go to sea and can't let go of your sister?"

Hu Cheng sighed, and said: "My sister doesn't like to wield knives and guns anymore. Since that time, she went to the Huitian Camp of An's Miracle Doctor and helped out temporarily. Going over there, working for the genius doctor and so on, she is tireless! Brother, you said that she is a girl who has never been educated, and she always..."

Wang Lun was taken aback when he said this, but after hearing what Hu Cheng meant, it seemed that Hu Sanniang had become a nurse, and she still had some sense of never getting tired of it?Could it be that the loss of her relatives and the killing of her fiancé left a shadow on her heart?Do you have to rely on this to comfort yourself?

Wang Lun was also a little uncertain about Hu Sanniang's intentions at this time, and thought to himself when he had time to go over and have a look, so he said to Hu Cheng: "The cottage is all my brothers, everyone treats her as a sister, what can I say? You don't want to Think about it, wait until I go to see what's going on, let's discuss and discuss!"

Hu Cheng sighed, according to his thoughts, he was reluctant to show his sister in public.It's just that every time I talked to her, she kept silent. Seeing her reaction, Hu Cheng was afraid of irritating her, and told her to return to the distressing state when she first went up the mountain. It's not, and it's not even if you don't persuade.

When Wang Lun saw that he was unhappy when he mentioned his sister, he tried to persuade him all the way. At this time, Li Jun also persuaded him, saying: "It's not a deviant thing to help Dr. An, everyone is a son and daughter of the world. What are you going to say about her? Brother, you better relax your heart!"

Hu Cheng sighed, nodded, and the three military advisers also persuaded him. After walking for a while, Wang Lun saw that he was in a better mood, and started to talk about business: "I will ask Brother Du Qian to take you to the warehouse at night. The porcelain, silk and other goods that were brought back from the mountain in the next year are all piled up in it, and they have not been touched much. It is about 20 million yuan. I will ask someone to carry it on board!"

Hu Chengjian said, nodded in response, and just said: "If it is an old product, the profit may be lower, and it is not as high as the value of the new product!"

Wang Lun chuckled, and said, "We're just exploring the way this time, and making money is secondary. Besides, these goods are still on the shelf, brother, you can do whatever you want! When the time comes, we will stand firm on Tamna Island." I'm afraid that the profit will not come if I sell large quantities of goods to Korea and Japan!"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words. At this time, everyone came to a fork in the road. Wang Lun confessed a few more words, and Li Jun and Hu Cheng left.Wang Lun was about to return to Juyi Hall with three military divisions, when he suddenly heard the sound of a crossbow coming from the woods on the hillside, Jiao Ting subconsciously pushed Wang Lun to the side of the road and shouted: "Protect brother!", Before the words fell, he was seen rushing towards the woods quickly.
