Water Margin Survival

When I was doing the calculations yesterday, I missed the four imperial physicians who joined this campaign, what a sin!Thank you guys for reminding me!

................................................

In his heart, Shi En is a utilitarian who only recognizes money. After all, he is not a lurker with firm belief like "18 years in the enemy camp".As a result, news of him came sooner or later, sometimes not, and it was doomed that this person could only be icing on the cake, and it was difficult to send charcoal in a timely manner.

However, Liang Shan has always adhered to the principle of walking on multiple legs, and never put all his eggs in one basket.Ji Ji, who was temporarily staying at the Liangshan Jiangnan branch village, had already received an order from the general village to inquire about news, and was running at full capacity at this time, even using the hidden line of Deng Yuanjue, who has a lot of energy in the south of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, even though there is no news of Gao Qi's side teacher for the time being, Wang Lun is not in a hurry when he arrives. Chao Gai leaves two days later, so what can be delayed?The imperial court's deployment of troops in the south of the Yangtze River has always been weak, and Wang Lun ordered Ji Ji to temporarily suspend his flag and drums in advance. Therefore, the biggest threat to Siming Mountain at this time is Fang La, the local snake, but Wang Lun can't think of it. Fang La has a reason to turn against him.

After all, we are all anti-imperialists, and they have a natural ally. He didn't believe that Fang La was so impatient to point the finger at Liangshan before the Zhao family's table was overthrown.Anyway, I just hold the hoe high now, and haven't done much digging yet!

While waiting for the news, it was not that Wang Lun had nothing to do, but that there were too many things to do. The whole mountain was operating at full capacity, which was even busier than when Gao Qi was in Yunzhou. Battalion soldiers and horses.They didn't rest.

The land of Qilu at this time.Surrounding the news of Gao Qiu's appointment and the disastrous defeat of the army, the situation has quietly fermented.

……

"Boss, I'm going to take the whole family to visit relatives at my husband's house today, and there is no one left at home. Don't I still owe you two hundred catties of food? The deed of my house is in your hands. You can rest assured, I Don't worry too!"

A tenant in his 30s knocked on the door of his owner's house, took out a package that had been carefully wrapped in several layers, and handed it eagerly.

The old man who was called the owner did not accept the deed, he just sighed and said with a disappointed expression: "Jiacai, do you want to invest in Liangshanbo?"

"Uncle, don't dare to say that! If it is heard by the government, this is a serious crime of treason!" The middle-aged village man who called the writer was taken aback.Hastily denied.

"If you don't vote for Liangshan, what are you doing, just visiting your relatives and leaving the house deeds on uncle?" The old boss smiled wryly, and said, "In just these two days, I have accepted five or seven house deeds like yours. What time is it today, what kind of relatives are swarming away! Uncle is old. But he is not old enough to be foolish!"

The family bowed their heads.He remained silent for a while, and finally insisted: "Uncle, I really didn't go to vote for Liangshan, I really just went to vote for relatives, I'm homesick... You still accept this deed, there is no one in my family, you help me take care of it , will it work?"

"Jia Cai, I wanted to leave at you, and gave the house to my uncle. My uncle can't harm you! But..." The old man looked quite enlightened, and at this time he didn't change his face to threaten his tenants, but just persuaded him with kind words:

"Jiacai, you can be regarded as an independent person among the people in our village. Why did you think of going that way? You owe my family food, and I didn't force you with a knife, so it's not impossible to slow down! But you take your family with you. Old and young, if you leave this village, you won’t be able to turn back! Isn’t your Xiaoni still breastfeeding, so it’s hard for you to think about it?”

Seeing that his excuses had been seen through by his master, and that he made his words clear, he couldn't help sighing, looked up at the elder whom he called "uncle" and said, "Master, I know that Ye and the neighbors from the next village The owner is different, and has always been kind to our family. Now the annual harvest, Yee only takes [-]% of the rent, which is as good as the previous cattle tenants (tenants with their own cattle). Right now, we are better than I used to live well, but Master, our Zizhou has always had a lot of land and a lot of people, and the fields are really not enough to grow! Now my parents are dead, and the baby is also young. My whole family is exhausted, but always They said they couldn’t see any light, but I really want them to have a good life for a few days!”

This man is honest and honest, but he is also a bit smart. Obviously, the rents of several surrounding states have all dropped to [-]%, but he uses this to compliment the owner in front of him.

"Didn't I always see you taking your parents to Liangshanbo to see a doctor?" The old boss still wanted to keep him, so he looked around nervously, lowered his voice, and said confidingly:

"Boy, listen to what I'm telling you. Go and see when they run free clinics, and follow up when they administer medicine, but don't let yourself get involved! Don't look at them defeating the army of the imperial court now, the huge imperial court is a vegetarian They are always in the limelight in Liangshan, it’s rare for a long time! Don’t you see who they killed? Gao Qi! That’s the Guanjun Taiwei who was in front of the government. Blink, it's too dead! Don't forget that the rafters in the early years always rot first! Listen to uncle, go back first! I will pay you the debt slowly, and the interest will not be counted during this period, ha!"

To be honest, since the news of Liangshanbo's defeat of the government and army came, the tenants in the village became a little restless.This person is not only the biggest landlord in the village, but also Baozheng of the village. He is very vigilant against this kind of movement. He knows that it will be difficult to control people's hearts.Not to mention for the sake of the court, from my own point of view, if the tenants run away, who will plant the land?

Jiacai lowered his head and said nothing, his old boss thought he was being persuaded by him, but Jiacai had other ideas in his heart.

It turned out that when Liangshan broke through the city of Zizhou a few months ago, they also sent people down to the county to mobilize. At that time, everyone heard that the imperial court had mobilized 13 heavenly soldiers to conquer Liangshan, thinking that even Liangshan could not withstand this catastrophe Therefore, many people are afraid of misfortune and do not move forward. They dare not even go to collect the government treasury grain issued by Liang Shan, for fear of causing trouble to their upper body, let alone leave with Liang Shan.

Because of this incident, Sun An, who thought he was not good at mobilizing, even pleaded guilty in front of Wang Lun. After all, this was his first shot, but he became a squib.

But who would have expected that this earth-shattering 10,000+ army would collapse as soon as it said it, and even Gao Qi, who was a disaster for the country and the people, was killed.Then there are various news about Liang Shanbo.Spread like wildfire in this land of Qilu.After a lot of talking and talking, it finally became quite mythical. The white-clothed gentleman Wang Lun became the Tiangang Xingxiu sent down by God dissatisfied with Zhao's playthings. All kinds of sayings are passed on miraculously.

Among the common people who gave up the opportunity to distribute food in Liangshan last time, Jiacai counted as one.When I heard the news later, I wished I could regret it all.The owner said that he was knowledgeable, and he was ruined by the knowledge that "bandits will definitely not be able to beat the court" and "the court will definitely settle accounts after the fall". Now that he thinks about it, he only feels that he should have brought back the grain and paid off the usury first, after all. They didn't say that they had to go up the mountain after receiving the food.

"Master, thank you for your kindness! Now that I am leaving, not only can my parents, wife and children live a comfortable life for two days, but also free up some fields for other villagers in our village, so that they can also rent and grow more crops here. A few acres..." Although not old, the middle-aged tenant who had been oppressed by life so early that his gray hair had quietly climbed to his temples said this, and bowed to his old owner, holding his hands in his hands. Own house deed: "Please keep it, Mr. Ye."

"Boss! Boss! The family tree's mother is here, saying she's here to pay off her debts!"

The owner was taken aback when he heard the words, and signaled that the family should not be too busy, and immediately took a few steps to greet him, and sure enough, he saw his family leading an old woman with a smile into the inner hall, and the old owner greeted: "His aunt, sit down for a while! Xiao Si, pour tea for your aunt!"

"Don't be busy, boss, I'm here to settle the account!" The farmer was so kind, the old woman didn't finish.Then he took out a large ingot of silver from his bosom, put it on the table, and said confidently: "I borrowed grain from the host, but if there is no food to pay back, I can pay it with silver. What is the price in the market now, the host You directly buckle it!"

The old owner's eyes were sharp, and he knew it at a glance. He secretly thought that this was five taels of pure silver under the official system, and he was not in a hurry to settle the accounts at the moment, but was surprised: "His aunt, your family has made a fortune?!"

Everyone lives in the same village, who is poor and who is rich and who doesn't know?This impoverished family suddenly took out an ingot of five taels of silver, which is abnormal, too abnormal!

Jiacai's heart was moved, and he stepped forward and said: "Auntie, Jiashu heard that his relatives went away a few months ago, and they didn't come back. Why did they bring back such a large ingot of silver so quickly? Isn't this relative a rich man!" Hejiashu is of the same generation, and he is several years older than him, but this family tree has been courageous since he was a child, and the family is cautious.

The old woman kept laughing when she called in, and her face changed when she heard the family's words, and she stammered: "I can't be considered a rich man, the family is okay! It's just that the people in Qingzhou are generous. He left him as a helper, and this is the wages paid in advance! Master, you should pay me the money, I still have something to do!"

Usury is an important means for landlords to annex land and accumulate wealth. It is good for someone to pay back the money. Although he was skeptical, the owner went down to get the broken silver in person, and then settled the account with the third aunt every penny. In front of the borrower, the IOU was burned, and the third aunt took the broken silver, put it in her arms, and said: "I can still trust my master!" After saying hello to my family, I went back.

Jiacai didn't have the intention to stay for a long time at this time, so he put the house deed on the table and said, "Master, I'm leaving now, take care of yourself!"

Seeing that he could not be persuaded to turn him away, the owner secretly sighed in his heart that the situation had changed, and said: "Son, if it doesn't happen like that, you come back, your ancestral house, uncle will leave it to you!"

The owner's approach was very humane, and he was so moved that he bowed again, then turned and left.

As soon as he came home, the whole family, children and parents had packed up, and all the valuable things in the house were brought with him, so the family didn't say anything, went forward and took the heaviest bedding, carried it on their backs, The family of five reluctantly bid farewell to their homeland, and embarked on the journey of leaving their hometown with apprehension.

Except for the children who were waiting to be fed, the adults kept praying in their hearts, and only hoped that the king on Liangshan, who came down from the sky, would not deceive them peasants who had nothing.

"Father, isn't that a family tree for their family?"

Coincidentally, after leaving the village, I saw the third aunt's family who had just paid back the money on Dongjiazhuang, and saw that they were also carrying big bags and walking towards the east path.

"His third aunt, where are you going?" Jiacai's mother shouted loudly. Although she was only in her early fifties, her forehead was covered with wrinkles.

The third aunt looked back and found that it was Jiacai's family. Although her face was a little embarrassed, she still said truthfully: "Is it his aunt? Let's go to our son. Now that he's done well, take our family over there!" Then he said, "Auntie, where are you going?"

"Third Aunt, when we go to Qingzhou, we are also visiting relatives, why don't we go together?" Jiacai said.

"That's good, we're going to be a companion along the way!" An old man over there agreed, and the family stopped, waiting for Jiacai's family to catch up, teasing Jiacai's daughter while rushing to Qingzhou.

Seeing that the two families had been walking together for half a day, and the sun was almost setting, the nine people walked to the side of a side road, and suddenly heard the third aunt say: "Family is his mother, our two families are going to part here. Go to the south!"

Seeing this, Cai Niang hurried forward to take her own package from the third aunt and the two daughters, and thanked her: "You see, we two old ones are useless, and you need your Nier to help carry our parcels." The burden of the family!"

"It's nothing, people from the big hometown, this is nothing!" The third aunt's blunt words were mixed with a trace of reluctance.

Jiacai Niang also had something in her heart, but she couldn't say it clearly. She was about to say goodbye to her old neighbor. Maybe she would never see her again in this life, so she shed tears.

The family was afraid that something bad would happen, so they tried to persuade them to leave, and the two families parted.Seeing that Jiacai's family had gone far away, the eldest daughter of the third aunt said: "Mother, we are on the same path as them, why do you want to diverge?"

"Silly girl, your mother did the right thing. We are going to vote for Erlong Mountain. You have to shout when you see someone?" The father said, "Just take the path! I will take this road However, although it is a bit of a detour, if you walk fast, you will be able to reach Erlong Mountain in less than half an hour! When I see your brother then, don't get entangled. What is there in their cottage...Anyway, I can't mess around to delay his business , he is doing well now!"

"What's that? That's called discipline! Stupid!" The third aunt said disdainfully, and when she thought of her son, she immediately felt a lot better.

"Mother, you said that my brother asked someone to bring a message back. Is it really so good on the mountain? Can you give cows and money, and give our family a hundred acres of land for free?" asked the eldest daughter.

"Others may coax us, but your brother can coax us? He was born by me, dare to coax me, tell your father to break his leg!" Third Aunt spoke emphatically, but her expression was very proud.

"But where will our land be divided? It would be great if it could be in our village!" the little girl said with some reluctance.

"Where there is a field, there is a home! One hundred acres of land, I dare not even dream about it!" The child's father sighed.

"Didn't I say it just now, the younger generation with words said, this is disciplined, don't let nonsense! Anyway, I believe that our tree will not coax us! Ni, as long as we have a land, we will recruit a son-in-law, let Both of you stay in front of your parents!"

The third aunt didn't refute her man this time, she had a smile on her face, just like this, the family of four laughed and laughed all the way, speeding up the pace of the journey with longing for a better life.

When you are in a good mood, the journey becomes shorter.When they arrived in front of Erlong Mountain, they found that there was indeed a source for this name. They saw two mountains surrounded by two mountains, enclosing a tall tower.The banners fluttered on the tower, the soldiers were majestic, and the peasants didn't understand any military terms, they only felt that the stronghold was steep, and they were extremely shocked in their hearts.

"There are a lot of people! Dad, mother, are these people here to vote for Liangshan like us? Oh, there are so many people, how can Liangshan give us so much land, let's go up and talk to them first! "The youngest daughter is innocent and careless, and what she says makes her parents find it funny.

"With your brother here, are you afraid that we won't have our land? It doesn't matter if it comes early or late, no matter how late it comes, it can't hold us back on the mountain!" Third Aunt said confidently.

The younger daughter gave an "oh" half-understanding, and suddenly saw a few familiar figures at the gate, and said in surprise: "Brother Jiacai!? Look, isn't that Brother Jiacai's family? They are not cast members. Have your relatives gone?" (To be continued~^~)
