After breakfast, the five heads of Shuibo Liangshan gathered together. Lin Yi explained his thoughts again, even more detailed than what he said to Du Qian, Song Wan and others. Although Wang Lun was a grounded scholar, he definitely had enough brains.
, as soon as I heard Lin Yi’s method, I felt that it was feasible.
Besides,
How could he dare to refute Lin Yi's opinion now? What Lin Yi said was not a consultation but an order to him.
"I agree with the Fifth Leader's opinion, what do you think?" Wang Lun looked at the others.
Du Qian, Song Wan and Zhugui had already been persuaded by Lin Yi. How could they disagree? They agreed immediately.
Lin Yi said again:
"I still have a few ideas about the development of Shanzhai. Now that my brothers are here, I plan to share them so that everyone can discuss them."
"Ping An, please tell me." Wang Lun said quickly.
Lin Yi began to elaborate on his development outline for Shuibo Liangshan.
"First, determine the goal. I think an organization must have its own development goals. My idea is to develop Shuibo Liangshan into the largest underworld force. We will not oppose the court, but only develop our power."
"Second, enforce strict discipline, practice martial arts diligently, and enhance the team's combat effectiveness."
"Third, establish a shipyard, build ships and build your own fleet."
"Fourth, recruit talented people and expand the strength of the Shuibo Liangshan team."
"Fifth, we should open up more ways to make money. Collecting tolls is only the first step. Next, we can get involved in other businesses such as smuggling illegal salt."
"Sixth, open up the waters. On the way, I heard that we control the water and do not allow fishermen to fish. In fact, it is not necessary. A good reputation is much better than a few fish. We can make a good deal with those fishermen and let them
They don't have to be all our eyes and ears. Even if there are only one or two out of ten, the entire Shuibo and even the surrounding counties will be under our surveillance. Even if there are officers and soldiers who really want to encircle and suppress us, they can't escape the eyes of those fishermen.
"
"Seventh, create a reputation. Reputation is very important. Once you have a reputation, you don't have to actually do things. You just need to say I am a Liangshan hero, and many things can be done smoothly."
"Eighth, collect the surrounding cottages. I said before when collecting tolls that if there are other bandits and water bandits robbing them, they can come for help. Of course, there is a fee. We also have reason to attack those cottages. If
If we can attack it or directly recruit it, we can quickly expand the strength of our village."
"ninth,"
Lin Yi said more than a dozen things in a row, and several people in the hall were dumbfounded. To be honest, their level was less than one-tenth of Lin Yi's. Fishing and robbery were already the limit. Now Lin Yi has brought out a development plan.
A few people's hearts are like a book from heaven.
"Okay, I agree with the Fifth Leader's opinion." Wang Lun was the first to express his opinion.
It’s not okay if you don’t take a stand.
Life and death are in the hands of others.
Although the other three people are clueless, they think that when they go out in the future, the underworld will respect and worship Shuibo Liangshan when they hear his name, and their blood boils just thinking about it.
"Done!" Du Qian said loudly.
"I agree."
"Me too."
afternoon,
Lin Yi nestled in his room and wrote a "Shuibo Liangshan Development Outline" with a blank book, with some details more detailed.
He used block letters to avoid leaving notes.
In the evening, I handed it over to Wang Lun, and explained it carefully and carefully. Although Wang Lun had no ambition, he could still be an executor. After all, Shuibo Liangshan was built by him, and he had no shortage of means to do things.
"Don't worry, Immortal, since your plan is so detailed, Wang Lun will definitely do it well and will not let Immortal down."
He said and looked at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi knew what this guy was thinking, "I'm already working on renewing my life. It will take a few days to complete, and I will give it to you when the time comes."
Wang Lun was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Immortal. Thank you so much, Immortal."
"Change starts early."
This is Lin Yi's slogan.
The next morning,
Lin Yi got up early,
Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui also got up very early, and behind them stood all the Liangshan minions.
Notified yesterday,
Starting from today,
The fifth master wants to train his team.
Lin Yi didn't do anything like lining up, doing standing exercises, or walking in unison. He directly asked people to stand in separate rows in the martial arts arena, and first taught the Eighteen Moves of the Black Dragon.
Lin Yi stood on the high platform, and every time he made a move, the bandits below would follow suit. These guys had also practiced some boxing and kicking before, so it was not difficult to follow the training.
After practicing the Eighteen Moves of the Black Dragon three times, they all practiced marksmanship. Lin Yi would not teach them complicated routines, but the simplest and most practical moves. He had read many marksmanship secret books, summed up a set of marksmanship, and named it himself.
'Seven Kill Gun'.
The characteristics of the seven-kill gun are simplicity, practicality, ruthlessness, and the pursuit of courage to kill with one blow.
Even Du Qian and the other three felt that they had benefited a lot from learning this set of spear moves.
afternoon,
Lin Yi tested the bandits to select those suitable to be archers. Finally, a total of 120 people were selected. These people will be specially trained as archers in the future, and he will be responsible for teaching arrows.
Two days passed like this.
Lin Yi began to divide the infantry into groups again. Some of them were suitable for using guns to practice the seven-kill gun, and some were trained with swords and shields and became sword and shield soldiers. Lin Yi personally taught martial arts.
The name of the sword technique is also very simple, named "Seven Killing Sword". There is nothing fancy about the sword technique, it only pursues speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.
fifth day,
Lin Yi began to study the fleet.
Naturally, a fleet of boats is indispensable in Liangshan. Now there are seven or eight large ships and dozens of small boats in Liangshan, most of which were obtained by robbery.
Driving a boat requires professional hands.
Robbery also requires professional means.
When hunting merchant ships before, the fleet was in chaos. Lin Yi arranged for them to focus on each other. Some were chasing, some were intercepting, some were capturing, and some were boarding. After several drills, this method became more and more pure, and the efficiency was increased by 100% compared to before.
Two hundred.
to battle,
Lin Yi questioned again.
When these guys robbed, they all rushed forward in a swarm, with no concept of collective fighting. After all, they were a group of bandits, and those things could not be learned in a short time.
Lin Yi came up with a simple solution.
"Three-Three System".
A group of three people can be paired by themselves. Once fixed, they cannot be changed randomly. Practice the three-person attack method. Once a battle occurs, the three people form a team and deal with one and then the other. The division of labor is clear and the combat effectiveness is far better than fighting alone.
Much stronger.
After two days of training and becoming familiar with the three-three system, the combat effectiveness of the entire team has been significantly improved. Even people like Du Qian and Song Wan who do not understand military affairs can see the changes.
Ten days passed in a flash.
Because of Lin Yi's reforms, the entire Liangshan felt like it was completely new. Discipline had improved a lot, and combat effectiveness had improved even more.
As for other plans proposed by Lin Yi, they are also slowly unfolding.
Zhu Gui used to make a living by fishing and selling fish, so he had the most opportunities to interact with fishermen. After returning to the hotel, he told his brothers to spread the news about Liangshan's unblocked waters through the mouths of the fishermen.
Don’t doubt the power of word of mouth.
Only a few days after the news was released, almost the entire Shuibo Liangshan area heard the news. Those who relied on fishing for a living were immediately delighted because they could finally go fishing.
However, if you want to fish, it is not without conditions. There are two conditions in total. Become Shuibo Liangshan’s informant. If there is a situation, just pass the news to Shuibo Liangshan. There is no need to draw a pledge or sign. It does not make you a water thief. As long as you are a water thief.
Just pass a verbal message. If the oral message is important, there will be extremely high rewards.
Lin Yi naturally knew that there would be people who would verbally agree but would not report it when the time came, but as long as the base was large, there would always be people willing to report it.
The second is taxation. One-tenth of each catch goes to Liangshan. You decide how much you pay each time. However, if you are caught cheating and hiding too much and don't pay, then don't blame the heroes of Liangshan for being ruthless.
When the news spread, many fishermen rejoiced, and many of them fully accepted the condition of paying one-tenth of their catch.
That's how people are.
If you give 10 points at the beginning, she will hate you when it comes to disputes. If you only give 1 point on weekdays, if you increase it to 9 points, she will burst into tears of gratitude.
The reputation of Liangshan as a place of water,
It has suddenly improved a lot among fishermen.
The fish markets in surrounding counties have also become prosperous. The more fish they catch, the more they sell, and the more fish they sell, the more fish people can eat.
As for the eyeliner thing,
Later, a saying spread around Shuibo Liangshan that all fishermen were Liangshan's spies, and no one knew who they were.
Under the command of Lin Yi, Wang Lun began to collect tolls again.
How to promote it?
Simple,
On this day, Shuibo Liangshan mobilized collectively to ambush several passing cargo ships on the waterway. The merchants who were caught all turned pale with fright. They thought that this time the goods were all gone, and it was unclear whether they could save their lives.
Song Wan has a loud voice,
Standing on the bow of the boat, he shouted loudly: "Listen, we are from Liangshan Water Village. Our village has established new rules. Passing merchant ships can pass through if they are willing to pay tolls."
"Of course, you don't have to pay tolls. We'll collect them all, whether it's the ship or the cargo, including the people on the ship."
Businessmen who often walk outside are very smart. As soon as they heard that there was a change, someone immediately said loudly: "We are willing to pay the toll. I wonder how much the toll will be, Your Majesty?"
In the minds of these merchants, half of the goods must be withheld.
"Half the total price of the goods will be used as tolls to ensure that you have smooth sailing at the waterfront." Song Wan said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the businessmen were shocked.
Half,
Half percent.
That's lower than what the government charges.
And such good things.
Could it be that I heard it wrong and asked for half?
Song Wan stared and jabbed the ship's plank hard with the iron stick in his hand.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You think we are robbers. It's not half, it's half. Do you understand? If you have 100 guan of goods, you only need to hand over 5 guan."
Now the businessmen heard it clearly and were immediately overjoyed. Oh, you had told me earlier. If it was only half a percent, why would he wet his pants?
"Your Majesty, I am willing to pay the toll."
"I do too."
"I'm willing to do that."
All merchants are rushing to pay taxes.
Some people immediately took out their paychecks and said, "Your Majesty, I have 300 guan of goods on this ship, and I will give you 15 guan for tolls."
Others also paid.
If you don't have enough cash on hand, you can ask friends nearby to borrow money. If that doesn't work, you can mortgage the goods. In short, you can pay taxes flexibly.
After collecting all the money, Song Wan waved his hand, "Let them go."
This group of merchants and boatmen all felt lucky to have narrowly escaped death.
Caught in the past,
It is a trivial matter to have all your money and goods robbed, and sometimes even your life is lost. If this matter could be solved with 5% of the money, ten thousand out of ten thousand businessmen would be willing.
But before the boat left, Song Wan shouted again with a loud voice: "You should also inform other boat operators that this will be the rule in Liangshan from now on. From now on, we will set up tolls in several important waterways."
At the checkpoint, you should take the initiative to pay the toll and pay the toll to ensure safety. If you don't pay, you will give up your money and your life."
Merchants and boatmen together should be.
"We will definitely bring the news."
In the following days,
Shuibo Liangshan robbed several ship merchants in this way, and the news about Shuibo Liangshan paying tolls and not killing anyone gradually spread.
For businessmen,
This is definitely good news.
They feel that things that can be solved with money are countless times easier than using other methods. They are usually caught by bandits and water bandits, and their money and goods are not guaranteed, and their lives are even at risk. Now they only need to pay a toll, and the money is used to sell goods.
A little improvement every now and then and everything comes back, it's not a big deal at all.
Liangshan Village has set up toll boats in several waterways. Within half a month, passing boats have become accustomed to coming to pay on their own initiative, and more and more boats are passing by.
