Chapter 12 The Way to Make Money

Lin Chong was holding the five-hook divine flying silver spear and was invincible with the Lin family's marksmanship. He picked off several pawns with one shot, just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, causing chickens to fly and dogs to jump.

The red-haired ghost Liu Tang is also a ruthless man who has been traveling around the world for many years. He has a deadly sword and looks like an evil spirit. He can kill seven or eight pawns in a row with a simple sword.

"Boss Lin, you've got great skills, go ahead!"

"Leader Liu is domineering, kill him!"

When the Bai Liangshan gangsters saw Lin Chong and Liu Tang's prowess, they were inspired and brandished their swords and guns to cover him up.

"The thief is cruel, run away~"

"Run!"

The regimental training envoy actually does not have much power. Most of the soldiers in his hands are improvised and belong to training. In fact, they are similar to Liangshan's minions.

As soon as they saw Lin Chong and Liu Tang's bravery, these regiment training soldiers would not resist desperately and simply dispersed.

"Hahaha, this Huang An is so rich, he actually has so many horses. Come on, everyone, stop chasing him and take the horses back to the village."

Lin Chong looked at the horses that were about to escape and quickly stopped Liu Tang and others. The horses were much more important than the minions.

"It would take hundreds of horses, but it's a pity that there are not many good horses."

Liu Tang turned over and came back with a bloody knife. Seeing these war horses, he felt happy and regretful at the same time.

After counting, there were a total of 600 horses, but most of them were inferior horses. Only 200 could really be used as war horses, and the rest could only be used as ordinary riding horses.

The battle on the shore ended quickly, and the battle in Liangshan Bozhong was also resolved quickly.

"Fire the arrow!"

"rope!"

"Sky Sword, attack!"

"Heavenly Sin, attack!"

"Tianbai, attack!"

Three naval leaders, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi, led three Sea Falcon warships and blocked the warship of regiment commander Huang An from three directions.

Iron ropes blocked the way of the officers and soldiers' warships. A hundred archers fired arrows, which made the officers and soldiers' morale chaotic. Then three Sea Falcon warships attacked and capsized the officers and men's ships.

Huang An did not have a dedicated naval force. In order to conquer Liangshan, he just forcibly recruited some merchant ships. How could he make the Sea Falcon warship an opponent?

"Capture Jeju regiment commander Huang An alive!"

"Come on!"

The three heroes of the Ruan family led five hundred men either climbing up from the water or rushing over from the battleship, and rushed into the officers and soldiers one after another.

"Quick, tell me, kill all these thieves, kill, kill!"

Huang An hurriedly waved his sword and shouted for his men to fight against Liangshan's army.

However, after falling into ambushes one after another, these regiments lost their fighting spirit and were unable to defeat the Liangshan Army.

More than 1,000 Jeju regiments were training troops, and more than 200 people were shot to death, 300 to 400 people fell into the water and drowned, and the remaining 400 people were captured alive by the Liangshan army.

Huang An, the commander of the Jeju regiment, was thrown away by Ruan Xiaoer with a harpoon. Ruan Xiaowu kicked him and fell into the Liangshan moor with a scream.

After Huang An drank enough, Ruan Xiaoqi fished him out like a dead dog.

"Captain of the village, our brothers caught Huang An's eyes~"

Ruan Xiaoqi happily lifted Huang An and threw it in front of Wang Lun.

"Fortress leader, Lin Chong has fulfilled his mission and captured sixty officers and soldiers and six hundred horses. He came here to give orders."

At this time, Lin Chong used Wang Lun's white coat to carry his war horses to the Golden Beach.

"Haha~ With all the brothers working together, why should I, Liangshan, not be prosperous?"

"By order of the leader of this village, from today on, our Liangshan Army will begin to form a horse army. Brothers who can ride a horse can join the horse army and be led by Coach Lin."

"The soldiers who have made meritorious service in this battle will be rewarded with gold and silver and a banquet will be held to reward them."

Wang Lun held up a jar of wine and ordered his men to bring big bowls to Lin Chong, Liu Tang, and Ruan's three heroes, filled them one by one, and began to celebrate and award them.

More than 400 people were captured alive during the training of the Jeju regiment. Those who were injured were educated by Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong, and were released with some travel expenses.

Those young and middle-aged men were returned to the village and organized into various battalions and teams.

The Liangshan cavalry army was led by Lin Chong and had two hundred cavalry troops under his command.

The infantry was led by Chao Gai, with Du Qian, Song Wan, and Liu Tang as deputy commanding four hundred infantry.

The navy was headed by Huang Gai, with Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi as deputy, and there were 400 sailors.

Zhu Gui is still responsible for detecting intelligence and opening the hotel.

Wang Lun, Gongsun Sheng, and Wu Yong are the core management, leading the leaders and deciding all affairs in Liangshan. There are also a hundred elite soldiers who form the village master's bodyguard and are responsible for guarding Wang Lun.

The battle of Liangshan defeated a thousand officers and soldiers led by Jeju regiment commander Huang An, which meant that Jeju troops did not dare to provoke Liangshan in a short period of time, and Liangshang's reputation in the world skyrocketed.

"Master of the village, Huang An, the commander of the Jeju regiment, how should we deal with it?" Wu Yong finished handling some chores and hurriedly came to ask Wang Lun for instructions. All the soldiers and horses were dealt with, and there was only one leader left.

"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. I am a villain who has no eyesight and does not recognize heroes. Please, Your Majesty, treat me like a fart." Huang An was tied up, and when he saw Wang Lun looking at him, he quickly kowtowed to Wang Lun and begged for mercy.

.

Wang Lun looked at Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong and motioned for them to express their opinions.

"Master of the village, if Huang An dares to invade Liangshan, he should be beheaded and his head should be sent to the prefect of Jeju to scare the government." Wu Yong secretly observed Wang Lun's expression and wanted to guess Wang Lun's thoughts, but Wang Lun smiled and refused.

I had no choice but to test it out.

"The training envoy of the Jeju regiment that Huang An bought with money has no ability, just like Chunyu Qiong under Yuan Shao in the Three Kingdoms. If he were to kill him, it would only provoke the government to continue to suppress him. It would be better to cut off his two ears and let him go.

"

Gongsun Sheng looked at Huang An, he was trembling, he was incompetent in leading troops, he was obviously a pig rival of the imperial court, there was no use in killing him, he was just keeping it to waste food, he might as well put it back to harm the imperial court.

Wang Lun thought about it. Even if he let Huang An go back, the court would not let him go easily: "Huang An, if you want the leader of this village to spare you, it's not impossible. Follow the rules of the world and let you write a letter."

Write a letter to your family and ask your family to send you 5,000 yuan, and then I will let you go."

"Your Majesty, five thousand guan is too much, how about five hundred?" Seeing that Wang Lun agreed to let him go, Huang An immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of five thousand guan, he felt a little distressed, and even bargained with Wang Lun.

"Eight thousand strings!"

Wang Lun felt a little funny in his heart, this guy wanted money rather than his life.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, farewell, five thousand guan is just five thousand guan." Huang An was anxious, why did he raise the price now?

"Ten thousand guan, not a penny less, just write a letter. If you send 10,000 guan to the village, you can go back. If you lose a penny, I will chop off your arm."

Wang Lun waved his hand in disgust and asked his men to take Huang An down.

Liang Zhongshu's birthday gift to Master Cai was only worth 100,000 guan. Wang Lun asked for 10,000 guan, which was not too small.

Regardless of whether Lin Chong could spend a thousand gu to buy a sword, Huang An was a regimental trainer after all, and his family should still be able to afford the money.

"Master of the village, brother Zhu Gui sent people to report that a wealthy businessman is passing through our Liangshan Mountains with a large amount of treasure. Chao Gai asked for orders to take his brothers to borrow money."

Chao Gai came to see Wang Lun excitedly. He had no share in fighting Huang An before, but now he also wanted to contribute to the village.

There are a thousand people in the village, and they often hold big banquets, eat large pieces of meat, and drink from large bowls. The daily expenses are not small.

"No, you absolutely must not. Here is the order from the owner of this village. From now on, if you pass by our Liangshan section of the road, the poor will be charged a penny for tea, and the rich will be charged one-fiftieth of their past wealth for road construction expenses."

"From now on, ordinary people, except for spies, can rest assured that their lives will not be harmed when they go to the foot of Liangshan Mountain."

"If someone is doing business at the foot of the mountain, he only needs to pay a certain management fee to be protected by Liangshan."

Wang Lun interrupted Chao Gai. He didn't really want to be a bandit all his life in Liangshan. The top priority was to develop and strengthen Liangshan.

A steady stream of money is more cost-effective in the long run than a one-time deal.

Just know how to plunder. If things go on like this, no one will pass by this place anymore. Who are you going to rob?

If the business in this place is booming, we in Liangshan will collect management fees, stall fees, etc., and slowly collect taxes on behalf of the government, wouldn't it be a huge source of money?
