On a winter day, everyone was wearing thick clothes, and there was a charcoal fire burning in the middle of the hall. Even so, it was still a bit cold.
Now Wu Yong actually said it was hot. Only Wang Zhengqing knew it well. He glanced at Wu Yong and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jialiang, you must take good care of yourself. Managing the place will become more and more arduous in the future. We will also need Mr. Woolen cloth?"
Wu Yong smiled dryly and said: "I must have eaten mutton yesterday and got too angry. Thank you Mr. Wang for your concern."
The two of them spoke quite harmoniously, and to others, there was no problem at all.
Lin Chong could see it clearly and said: "Time has yin and yang, there is day and night, there is sun and there is moon, the first rise of Liangshan is when the sun rises. In all things, the public must be the first! Who will do it for selfish reasons?" If you destroy the cottage due to private matters, the General's Office will definitely punish you severely!"
This was so true that everyone nodded in agreement.
Wu Yong felt frustrated, put away his handkerchief, and said not to be outdone: "What Wang Xianggong just said is quite reasonable. I also want to add some simple opinions for everyone's reference. If it fails, everyone will be a laughing stock."
Lin Chong smiled slightly and said: "Since it is a gathering for discussion, today is not a formal meeting. You can just say whatever you want without being formal. It is a pity that King Chao Gai went to Yuncheng to transport supplies today, otherwise we would have to negotiate with him."
Wu Yong was impatient and did not want to fall behind Wang Zhengqing, so he immediately said: "The eight-hundred-mile Liangshan River is home to countless family members, old and young, and it is the most important thing. Although there are six small divisions, the generals in the mountain are quite Even if you specialize in military affairs, it won’t work!
In water mooring areas, some areas with shallow tidal flats should be dug deeper, and some areas without connections should be connected in series with each other to facilitate the passage of large ships and small boats. This way, if something happens, the trouble of stranding and siege can be avoided. "
Lin Chong was deeply convinced and said: "What Mr. Wu said is very good, but in terms of employing people, do you have any good suggestions?"
Wu Yong was overjoyed and had already made a plan in his mind, saying: "Tao Zongwang should be appointed as the chief engineer to dig harbor branches, repair waterways, open more interconnecting rivers, organize the fortress walls, and build military arteries.
Then let Jiang Jing join the Household Department, take charge of treasury and warehousing, collect expenditures, and assist Brother Zhu Gui. At present, military expenditures, seizures and collections have accumulated tens of millions, which is a very large amount. Brother Jiang Jing is proficient in bookkeeping and can also help Brother Zhu Gui. side.
The affairs of the household department are very important, and if there are any errors or omissions in the accounting, it will affect thousands of people, so we should pay attention to it. He ordered Xiao Rang to complete the village outside the village, on the mountain and down the mountain, the six departments, the military aircraft department, Yuncheng, the general's mansion, the dry village, the water The village and others moved to the border to prevent the war. At the same time, Jin Dajian was ordered to carve and perfect military symbols, seals, cards, etc., and Bai Sheng was ordered to assist Huang An in building robes, armor, and five square flags to share his burden.
At present, there are more and more generals, family members, and warriors in the village, and it is necessary to build houses, etc., so Shi Yong is asked to supervise the construction of houses and halls. Zhang Shun then enters the water village and takes charge of the supervision of the construction of large and small warships."
Wu Yong was like a rapid-fire barrage, speaking out some personnel ideas in one breath.
After finishing speaking, Wu Yong glanced at Wang Zhengqing specifically, looking somewhat proud.
Wang Zhengqing smiled bitterly, not quite understanding why Wu Yong always had to fight with him.
Lin Chong did not rush to reply and said: "When King Chao Gaitian comes back to the mountain, the cabinet will discuss it first. If it doesn't make sense, issue it to the General's Office and appoint the generals in the name of the General's Office!"
Having said that, Wu Yong and others had no objection.
This time the generals who went south to Yishui were rewarded based on their merits.
In the days that followed, the villages practiced their men and horses and their martial arts without any neglect.
After King Chao Gai returned to the mountain, he quickly received military orders and began to formally take over the defense of Liangshan!
At the same time, the appointments of generals are also issued by the General Office.
After another half month, the land of Yunzhou was almost within reach of Liangshan!
Miraculously, there was no movement at all from the imperial court, as if this was a huge defeat!
On this day, in the Juyi Hall, Lin Chong, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Wang Zhengqing were chatting. Lin Chong said: "The war is gradually stabilizing. Taxation and grain payment should be lighter than the imperial court, and commercial taxes should be paid more attention to. At present, Cai Jingda
Defeat, I plan to write a letter and go to the official residence of Chaida, Hebei, to discuss an important matter.
I have always heard that Brother Dai Zong has a magical method that comes and goes like the wind, which is the most appropriate."
Dai Zong also came to the hall today. Knowing that something was arranged, he immediately stood up and said, "Since this is a major event in the mountain, don't dare to disobey!"
Lin Chong was overjoyed and said with a smile: "If someone else goes, it will take a long time to go back and forth. If brothers go, we will know the news in ten days."
Dai Zong was also in a good mood. After going up the mountain, he also wanted to do something. After waiting for half a month, he felt really uncomfortable.
Wu Yong was in a particularly good mood, and Dai Zong was good friends with him.
When a good friend is reused, his face will shine.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Wang Zhengqing again from the corner of his eye.
Brother Lin Chong once said that official matters cannot be messed up, but it does not mean that private matters cannot make people surnamed Wang disgusted.
At that moment, everyone discussed for a while. Dai Zong took some silver and left the golden beach. Just as he was about to get on the boat, he saw Wu Yong coming in a hurry.
"Sir is here, do you have something to tell me?" Dai Zong turned around and went up to greet him.
Wu Yong took Dai Zong's hand and said, "If you go north, you must handle this errand properly. Official Chai has a close relationship with Lin Chong's brother. You must be careful with your words, and this letter must be delivered!"
Along the way, don’t be greedy for drinks, and don’t cause trouble if you encounter ruthless and strong people.”
"I will remember what you said, sir! This is my first time working in the mountains, so I will arrange things properly so as not to embarrass my brother." Dai Zong said seriously.
Wu Yong looked around and saw no one around, and said: "I must be more careful in the future. Wang Zhengqing used to be an official and was arrogant. There used to be a group of brothers in Yuncheng who were like him."
We are very good friends, but now he is recruiting influence everywhere, so don't get involved, or you will cause trouble."
Dai Zong's heart skipped a beat. Listening to these words, it was clear that the relationship between Wu Yong's brother and the Wang Xianggong was not easy to deal with!
He opened his mouth to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to speak, so he had to say: "I went up the mountain not long ago, so naturally I listen to my brother."
Wu Yong hurriedly said: "I will not harm you. From now on, don't say that you all listen to me, otherwise you will attract criticism. Brother Lin Chong is the only big leader in the mountain! We all have to listen to him."
"I understand!" Dai Zong was startled, and a layer of sweat broke out on his back.
Wu Yong comforted him again: "Don't misunderstand me. I have no personal grudges with Mr. Wang, it's just that we have different views on political affairs!"
"That's good, that's good!" Dai Zong breathed a sigh of relief. He mustered up the courage to abandon the matter of Jiangzhou Dean and go to Liangshan. He didn't want them to engage in internal strife.
Wu Yong smiled and said: "It's cold and freezing, and we spend money on the road. There's no need to be frugal. Your health comes first!"
Dai Zong clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother. I'm leaving now!"
The two of them were polite again, and Dai Zong left by boat. When they were far away, he stood on the bow of the boat, turned around, and looked at Wu Yong standing by the mountain!
"Brother Wu Yong, if you want to achieve something big, you should be broad-minded and don't be jealous of the talented! If you do that, everything you have gained now will be lost!"
