Water Margin Survival

"How was your rest last night?" Wang Lun asked, looking at Hunhailong Li Jun who had just returned to the village to rest for the night. .

Li Jun shook his head with emotion, and replied: "I realize that I'm really not used to being on land now, maybe it's because I'm used to floating on the sea, and I feel uncomfortable when I land on the ground!" Later, Li Jun laughed at himself With a smile, he said: "Maybe my younger brother is born to be adrift in the water!"

Li Jun's words made Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu who were beside him laugh. Zhu Wu shook his head and said, "My brother told you to rest for two more days, but you want to go to sea right away. Brother, even if you fight hard, you must pay attention to your body." Nah!"

Li Jun subconsciously glanced at the old wound on his body, touched the scene and said emotionally: "A few months ago, Li Jun was disheartened and almost retired. Fortunately, my brother did not give up and pulled my younger brother from the low tide. Come back, otherwise Li Jun still doesn't know where to waste time now. Since the younger brother has found the meaning of living now, how dare he waste a cent?"

Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu looked at each other with admiration.Wang Lun also felt something in his heart, and said: "Brother, since you have mentioned this, I really dare not take credit for it! After all, these are all your own creations! What I can play is just a supporting role The key is to rely on yourself! You, Li Jun, are a good man and a good piece of iron, so you can stand again in this wind and rain! Otherwise, no matter how hard I try, it will be futile!"

After Wang Lun had finished speaking, Li Jun bowed down solemnly and said, "Brother, Li Jun is not a talkative person, everything depends on my younger brother's actions!"

"I have been paying attention, never blinking!" Seeing that the atmosphere was tense for a while, Wang Lun made a joke to everyone with a smile while helping Li Jun up.

Seeing that Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu couldn't help laughing at this time, Li Jun's dark face also had a hint of a smile at this time, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"Going to sea this time is related to the safety of tens of thousands of people, and this is the first time for Xiao Qi to go to sea. The burden on the brothers is not light!" Wang Lunyan returned to the main story, commanding the leader who went to sea this time in front of him.

During this voyage, Liangshan assembled two fleets, a total of 21 sea-going ships with more than [-] materials ([-] ships from Li Junying with a total of [-] materials, and eleven ships from Ruan Xiaoqi’s battalion with a total of [-] materials). Thirty-three thousand materials.Theoretically, it is possible to transport [-] Chengren with a weight of [-] kilograms, but considering that people are not cargo, they need a certain amount of room for movement during the long voyage of seven or eight days, and they are not stacked quietly like cargo Everything will be fine in the cabin.

Therefore, Wang Lun, Xiao, and Zhu, the two military advisers, combined together and went to the ship for field inspections, and finally came to the conclusion that transporting [-] people to sea at one time, which accounted for about [-]% of the fleet's total capacity, had reached its peak.

If there are more people, the density will be too high and the living space will be too crowded. On the vast sea, it will easily arouse negative emotions such as irritability and panic.After much deliberation and fully listening to the opinions of the hired veteran boatman, Shanzhai decided to set the limit number of passengers at the red line of 1.

Considering that Jeju Island is in urgent need of defense and construction forces at this time, among the personnel who went to sea this time, the proportion of counterfeit soldiers, construction personnel and ordinary people each accounted for about [-]%.

Ou Peng’s amphibious battalion with 3000 people was all on board this time, while Tao Zongwang took 3000 men to go first, and the remaining 5000 people had to wait for the next boat ticket.A total of [-] households were selected for the second batch of immigrants. After carefully matching the number of households according to the number of households, the total number is almost just enough for [-] people.

According to Wang Lun's idea, it would be best to immigrate 6 to 700 people to Jeju Island, but the current number of people on Liangshan is far less than this number.Unexpectedly, this time Xiao Jiasui gained a lot from Yizhou, and brought back a total of more than 4000 households, with a total of more than [-] people.In addition, there are more than a thousand strong men who can be included in the garrison.

Xiao Jiasui's plot against the common people was very serious. After breaking the Zhaojia Village, he took out half of the more than 9 shi of grain stored in Zhaoxin's family, that is, [-] shi, and distributed it to eight townships ten miles away from Zhaojia Village. Villagers who were bullied by Zhaoxin and Gaoliang's brutal style.

A total of more than [-] households benefited this time, coupled with Xiao Jiasui's painstaking persuasion, finally [-]% of the people who were born in tenant households were willing to drag their families and take their mouths to Liangshan.This is not a bit of a move, and I can't be cruel to put all my wealth on it, but I just watched the young people in my family go up the mountain because of worries about gains and losses.

For the other [-] shi of grain, he directly found a big local household to cash it out, and finally returned with the money.After all, this time they have to pass through the defense area of ​​the famous general Wang Zhi, and if they carry too much luggage, it will become a drag.Therefore, when going down the mountain, Xiao Jiasui suggested to Wang Lun that, except for the necessary food and grass, all the others should be sold or distributed to the local people. Wang Lun recognized and agreed to his plan at that time.

Speaking of Yizhou, Li Yun, who was recovering from his injuries, had gone down the mountain with Zou's nephew and apprentice Zhu Fu. Seeing what he meant, he had to take Li Da to the village with his own hands, and Wang Lun didn't stop him either. He just asked him to go with Zou Run and Zou Yuan, so as to have someone to take care of him along the way, if there is any accident, go directly to Qingyun Mountain to rescue the soldiers.

Wu Song had a lot of contact with Li Yun these days, and after he came back, he was full of praise for Wang Lun. He only said that he was an old man in the capital, and Wu Song, a "newcomer", admired him in many ways.Wang Lun saw that Li Yun's character and profession were excellent, so he immediately invited him to Jeju Island. On the one hand, he maintained law and order, and on the other hand, he trained a group of professional and qualified officials for the cottage.

Li Yunchu was afraid that he would be in an embarrassing situation after going up the mountain, but at this time, Wang Lun intended to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, so how could he deliberately take advantage of it?He agreed very simply on the spot, only said to pick up Li Da, and then went to the strange Jeju Island.

Now that there is a candidate for the capital, Wen Huanzhang must be appointed as the head of the regiment, so Uncle He Jiu is also on the list to go to Jeju Island, just wait for Li Yun to pick up Li Da and go back to the mountain, and a group of them will go by boat.

After hearing the news that He Jiushu was about to leave, Wu Song approached Wang Lun alone, and Wang Lun thought he was interceding for his sister-in-law's family, fearing that He Jiushu was too old to stay away from his homeland.Unexpectedly, Wu Song asked Wang Lun to assign his elder brother Wu Dalang's family to Jeju Island.Of course, Wang Lun will not refute his brother's face for such matters that have nothing to do with the overall situation.

It's just that when he thought about it afterwards, he felt that the rear area of ​​Jeju Island probably held a lot of weight in the hearts of the brothers in the Shanzhai.

Here Wang Lun and the two military advisers are saying goodbye to Li Jun before leaving, and the same scene is happening on the other side of the pier.

At this time, Ma Lin deliberately asked Lin Chong for leave, and came with Jiang Jing to bid farewell to his old brothers Ou Peng and Tao Zongwang. Seeing that his four Huangmenshan brothers are now in charge of a stall in Dazhai, Ma Lin is quite touched. Squatting alone on a boulder by the pier, he took out the iron flute in his arms and played a farewell tune.

"Okay, third brother, the eldest brother and the fourth brother are going to Jeju Island, not to Tokyo to fight with Zhao Guan's family, what are you doing! The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man is gone forever?" Jiang Jing heard the melody Feeling sad, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and my tone can't help being a little heavier at this time.

Ou Peng stepped forward and patted Jiang Jing on the shoulder, looked around at the three of them and said, "I'm not worried about the second child. Brother Du Qian does not know how much he relies on him. But the third child needs to spend more effort in the infantry, and give the teacher Lin a lot of attention." Make a good start. Since my brother values ​​the four of us so much, give us face, we have to take it firmly! Don't let the heroes in the rivers and lakes laugh at us, saying that we, the men from Huangmen Mountain, have become heroes in Liangshan Dazhai Where it is piled up, it will be buried!"

"What's buried?" Ruan Xiaoqi was "urging" Du Qian and Song Wan to lead the garrison to move supplies to the ship. Seeing that the four heroes of Huangmen Mountain were saying goodbye here, they came here to say hello, and didn't want to listen as soon as they came. To Ou Peng's words.

"Seventh brother, my elder brother taught us to work hard, otherwise we will be buried by the heroes of the cottage!" Seeing Ruan Xiaoqi coming, Ma Lin put away the iron flute in his hand, stood up and greeted him.

Ruan Xiaoqi laughed, and said, "One is the leader of the island guard of Jeju Island. In the future, I will hear that the prefect's right-hand man does not depend entirely on him for the safety of Jeju Island? One is a fortune teller. According to me, there is a word in our cottage nickname. God, it’s Brother Jiang Jing and Doctor An! There’s nothing he can’t build! There’s also you Tiedi Xian, these days, Brothers Li Ji and Yuan Lang have talked to you a lot. , You said that the four of you are all capable, who can bury you?"

The four people here were all a little embarrassed when they heard this. After all, Ou Peng was from the head of the Huangmen Mountain, and he would not be easily suppressed by the other party during the conversation. He looked at Ruan Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "Seventh brother, why don't you?" Didn’t you see the second brother and the fifth brother?”

"They? They said they would come to see them off sooner or later, but I stopped them! It's not like they never go back, so why are you so hurt! By the way, Lao Tao, you have to stay for me on Jeju Island." Take care of the house! When I settle down in the future, I will take my old lady to enjoy the blessings!" Ruan Xiaoqi looked at Tao Zongwang and said with a smile.

"No problem, even if we don't have a place to live, we can't short my wife!" Tao Zongwang said, patting his chest.

Ruan Xiaoqi is a fast person, and he really likes Tao Zongwang's no-nonsense style, so he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, my old lady is not used to living with my sister-in-law..."

The four of them laughed out loud at this news, and Ma Lin said with a smile: "If my mother goes to Jeju Island, but where does my brother go to eat, is it possible that he will share a room with us?"

Everyone in the cottage knew that Sanxiong Ruan's mother was not an ordinary old woman, every time the village owner saw her, he would call her old lady.She also never regarded the village owner as an outsider, and was closer to him than her three sons. She always said that the big pot of rice in the kitchen was not worth it, so she asked Wang Lun and Jiao Ting to eat at her house.This incident caused Song Wan to cry out when he saw everyone, and complained to the Ruan brothers several times in person, saying that your mother wanted to take his brother to dinner. The leader is provoking someone.

Regarding this matter, Ruan Xiaoqi obviously knew it well, and laughed out loud.At this time, Ma Lin's sharp eyes saw Wang Lun and others walking towards this side, and he shouted, "Brother is here!"

When everyone saw this, they all went forward with smiles. Ruan Xiaoqi met Wang Lun face to face, and said, "Du Qian and Song Wanming are so forced not to be lazy. At this time, the supplies are almost moved, so it should be done." Please people board the boat, otherwise we will miss the auspicious time! Brother, let’s hurry up!"

Wang Lun saw that Ruan Xiaoqi had already entered the state, of course he would not stop him, and watched him go. When Ruan Xiaoqi walked away, Wang Lun turned around and asked Xiao Jiasui, "Have the widows and family members of the brothers who died in the Shanzhai informed you?"

The matter of Li Da reminded Wang Lun. He discussed with the two military advisers that night, and he wanted to send someone to inform the family members of the brothers who died in battle scattered in various places about the division of the cottage. If there are similar benefits in the future, they must be notified on a household by household basis.Just because their children and nephews were killed in battle, they can't think that they have nothing to do with the cottage.

"All those nearby have been notified, and there are about [-] families going up the mountain. According to my brother's instructions, try to give them priority. This time, they are all arranged to go in, so I will take this boat to go! In addition, there are some far away, and they have received pensions. The one who bought the land and moved has not been notified yet!" Xiao Jiasui said respectfully.He was very much in favor of Wang Lun's decision. As the saying goes, "Whoever wins the hearts of the people will achieve great success." If Shanzhai does all these things well, it will not be far from success after it becomes famous.

"It doesn't matter, when our cottage becomes powerful in the future, when they hear the news, if there is any difficulty, they will rush over! As long as they are the family members of the brothers who died in our cottage, we will recognize them at any time!" Wang Lun looked around the crowd and said.

Ou Peng and the others nodded excitedly in response.In fact, Ou Peng felt the deepest about this matter.Whether in Huangmen Mountain or Liangshan, he is the leader who directly leads the troops, and most of his troops are from the original Huangmen Mountain. It can be said to be quite different.

As for why there was such a big change, it was a question that he had been thinking hard about.And now, it seems that the core answer to this question is right in front of us and within reach.

Wang Lun didn't notice Ou Peng's psychological activities. Seeing Jiang Jing was here, he asked, "This time, our Shanzhai's large-scale acquisition of farming cattle is going on now?"

"At present, more than 600 cattle should have been received. For this matter, Shanzhai allocated 4000 guanwen to leader Hu as a reserve fund. I met him this morning and just had a chat. I heard that there are still more than [-] guanwen that have not been used up." !” Jiang Jing replied.

Wang Lun nodded. He knew that the price of farm cattle at this time was not too expensive. The price of a farm cattle fluctuated between seven guan and ten guan, and it was less than [-] guan to buy a thousand cattle. If the purchase volume is large, there will be a certain level of premium, but it is also acceptable. At this time, at any rate, it is far from the point where an adult cow in the early Southern Song Dynasty had [-] to [-] guan. Money, and even more places have reached a terrifying price that has skyrocketed ten times compared to the current one.

"According to my brother's plan to immigrate nearly [-] households, we need to buy nearly [-] heads of farm cattle. Considering the price increase, the total cost is estimated to be less than [-] yuan. I'm afraid the cottage will be too much for a while!" OK, expressing to Wang Lun his worries about the financial situation of the cottage.

"I told Hu Cheng that the seafood we seized in Dengzhou this time, even if the price is slightly lower, must be traded in cash. It is expected that 30 yuan will be recorded in a short time, and the book will look much better by then. This time, what I seized in Dengzhou and Army Division Xiao in Yizhou added up to 11 guan in cash! Wait, it will get better after this period of time!" Wang Lun sighed with some emotion.At this time, his eyes stayed on the newly built small sea boats on the pier, and he felt a little more hopeful in his heart.

These ships will be led by four heroes, Chixulong Feibao, Curly-haired Tiger Niyun, Yangzijiao Buqing, and Thin-faced Xiong Dicheng, and will go out to sea with the large force. Once they enter the Bohai Sea, they will meet Li Jun and Ruan Xiao Seven's fleet separated and moved towards another goal. (To be continued.)
