Let me talk about the civil system of Liangshan here. This civil system was naturally established by Wu Dong.
Every 100 households is a village, and each village has approximately 1,000 people. Every 10 villages is a township, and every 10 townships is a town.
There are approximately 100,000 people in each town, and there are currently two towns and 20 townships in Liangshanbo.
The village chiefs of each village are elected by the people, with one vote per household, and who is the village chief is determined based on the number of votes. The township chief is appointed among the 10 village chiefs, and the town chief is appointed among the township chiefs.
If there is a dispute between villagers, it will be resolved by the village chief. In addition, 10 people will be randomly selected from the village and these 10 people will form a jury. If the village chief's resolution is not approved by the majority of the jury members, it will not be established.
Such a rural system and the jury system would naturally be treasonous if it were introduced in the Song Dynasty. However, in Liangshanbo, they were all "immigrants". Wu Dong had the right to speak out here, so he could do whatever he wanted.
Soon, the villagers felt the benefits of these systems. The village chief was elected, so he naturally did not dare to neglect the villagers, but truly served the villagers. The jury system made the trial results extremely fair, and the previous mistakes would never happen again.
A situation in which the government oppresses the people and imposes arbitrary sentences.
If this is a "political system", then this political system is extremely clear, and an electoral system has been initially implemented in Liangshan.
In addition, except for the 10% agricultural tax, there are no other exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the burden on the people will be much lighter.
Therefore, after Hua Rong stayed here for a while, he felt that the people here were vibrant and full of energy. Most of them were smiling, which made him want to blend in.
Outside, in the places ruled by the Song Dynasty, many people were like walking corpses, with dull faces, living in poverty, no smiles, and no hope ahead. Naturally, they felt lifeless.
The people here are particularly grateful to Wu Dong. Almost every household sets up a longevity plaque for Wu Dong to thank Wu Dong for giving them such a treasured land.
"Brother Wu has great ambitions... The people here and the soldiers here don't look like a bandit den at all... Could it be that Brother Wu wants to rebel and seize the world?" Hua Rong couldn't help but be startled.
But when he thought of this, not only was he not afraid, but he felt a sense of indescribable excitement. He had already felt the advanced nature of the civil system and military system here. If Wu Dong really wants to rebel, then the possibility of taking over the world is still very high.
By then, wouldn’t it be possible for him, Hua Rong, to become a founding hero?
"Hahahaha... Liangshan... what a wonderful place!" Hua Rong laughed.
A few days later, Hua Rong's wife and girls came to Liangshan. Hua Rong no longer had the slightest concern, so he devoted himself wholeheartedly to military training and followed Lin Chong to learn the training methods of the new army.

Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture's Yamen, was walking around in the lobby with his brows deeply furrowed.
He has received news that the 2,000 soldiers in Qingfeng Village were easily defeated by the Liangshan Boshui bandits. Except for 300 who escaped, the rest were either killed or captured. The bandits were powerful and unstoppable. And it was said that even Qingfeng
The leader of the village knew that Hua Rong had all defected to Liangshan. When he sent people to arrest Hua Rong's family members, they found that Hua Rong's family members had disappeared long ago, and they had probably gone to Liangshan.
At that moment, Murong Yanda called Qin Ming and Huang Xin over, told them what happened in Qingfeng Village, and said, "What should we do?"
Qin Mingdao: "I never believe that the Liangshan water bandits can defeat the Qingfeng Village army. It must be Hua Rong who secretly released the water, which caused Qingfeng Village to suffer heavy casualties... Hua Rong, I have long heard that he and some people in the Jianghu
Bandits have close contacts, so he must have known Wu Dalang in time, and took advantage of this opportunity to immediately defect to Wu Dalang. Otherwise, his wife and sister would not have left Qingfeng Village before his army arrived in Liangshan."
It turned out that Wu Dong had sent someone to pick up Hua Rong's wife, sister, early on. Hua Rong was still halfway there at that time.
Huang Xindao: "Why don't I lead my men and horses to destroy the gang of water bandits in Liangshanbo, and at the same time capture Hua Rong, who has no king and no father, and have him executed in Lingchi."
Murong Yanda said: "Forget it. If the Liang Shanshui bandits are really as powerful as the deserters said, and you go and are wiped out, who will protect Qingzhou Mansion?"
Murong Yanda is a timid person. He sent Qingfeng Village to annihilate Liangshanbo before, but it was really forced by Gao Qiu and there was nothing he could do. Now he has sent people there, but they failed to defeat them, so you can't blame him. Qingfeng Village is not the one anyway.
He is his direct subordinate, and he will not be guilty of much. It is best to let this matter go as it is. What he is afraid of now is Liang Shanbo attacking Qingzhou Mansion. He called Qin Ming and Huang Xin to actually let the two
They discussed the defense of Qingzhou Prefecture.
After Qin Ming heard this, he immediately became angry and said: "My husband, you don't believe us two too much? They are just Liangshanshui bandits. I only have 500 soldiers and horses, and I can wipe them all out."
Huang Xin also said: "Don't worry, Sir, I will bring Wu Dong's head to you within a month at most."
Unfortunately, Murong Yanda disagreed. At this moment, someone suddenly came to report that the second leader of Qingfeng Mountain, Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying, had attacked Qingfeng Village and even captured the wife of Liu Gao, the commander of Qingfeng Village.
High emergency help.
Murong Yanda was shocked and said: "Have you seen it? Not to mention Liangshanbo, even the local gangsters in Qingzhou are so rampant. They have already lost 2,000 soldiers and horses in Qingfeng Village. They can no longer lose other soldiers and horses in this state... As for Qingfeng
Let Liu Gao take charge of the stronghold first and tell him that we have to defend Qingzhou now and cannot help him get his wife back."
After Liu Gao received Murong Yanda's letter, he was naturally so angry that he vomited blood, not to mention Qin Ming and Huang Xin wanted to send troops, but Murong Yanda refused to agree, so he had to give up.

During this period, people still came to Liangshanbo. After they came, they naturally distributed land, formed villages, etc. The population increased, so Wu Dong moved Du Qian and Song Wan back, because now Liangshanbo is dividing the land.
It has spread throughout Hebei and Shandong, and there is no need for the two of them to go out to promote it.
Du Qian and Song Wan were given 200,000 guan of silver. Du Qian and Song Wan were overjoyed. They went up the mountain to make a fortune, and now that they have money, they have achieved their life goals.
"There are now 20 townships in Liangshanbo, with 10,000 people in each township. You two will serve as the head of a township for the time being... My township is different from the government of the Song Dynasty. There are not many things. Many things are handled by the people themselves, so you
Don't make trouble out of nothing, otherwise I won't let you go," Wu Dong said.
"Don't worry, Chief, we can just be officials in peace and contentment," Du Qian said.
Du Qian and Song Wan are very happy now. This township head can manage ten thousand people, which is no different from the officials outside. They really have no ability to handle government affairs. Fortunately, they are not needed to handle government affairs.
They just wanted to show off their official power in front of these common people. Now that they are rich and have become officials, they are truly satisfied.
A few days later, Zhu Gui came to see Wu Dong and said: "Chief, I just received news that in order to celebrate the birthday of Cai Jing's traitorous prime minister, Liang Zhong specially prepared 100,000 gold and silver treasures and transported them to Bianliang, known as the birthday party.
Gang. Should we rob this birthday gang?"
Liangshanbo no longer robbed houses, but such a large amount of government gold and silver passed through Liangshanbo, so it was naturally within the scope of robbery. Zhu Gui was already prepared, and only waited for Wu Dong's order to send people to rob.
Birthday outline.
Wu Dong thought for a moment and said, "No need."
He suddenly remembered the story of "Birthday Gang" in Water Margin. If nothing else happened, Yang Zhi was the one who escorted the birthday gang, and Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others were the ones who finally robbed the birthday gang.
After Yang Zhi's birth plan was robbed, he had no choice but to fall into the trap and become a bandit. Then he could be lured to Liangshan. Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others were also likely to be discovered by the government, and they would eventually end up in Liangshan.
If nothing else, there will be several heroes waiting to go to Liangshan. Now Liangshan is short of brigade commanders, battalion commanders, town mayors, and township chiefs. It just so happens that these people have come and can take up important positions.
At that moment, Wu Dong said: "If we don't rob the birth plan, there will be heroes in the world who will rob it... Please pay attention to Yang Zhi who is escorting the birth plan. If someone robs the birth plan, you will lead Yang Zhi to Liangshan."
"
After thinking about it, Wu Dong was still worried and wrote another letter to Cao Zheng, asking Cao Zheng to pay attention to the news about Yang Zhi.
Cao Zheng has now opened more than 50 hotels, all of which are located at Luchakou, which is the easiest place to get information.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. After half a month, news came from Zhu Gui that the birthday party had been robbed. The leader seemed to be Chao Gai and Chao Baozheng from Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County. Yang Zhi escaped, but they did not catch up.
Yang Zhi.
Wu Dong was a little disappointed. Three or four days later, Cao Zheng suddenly sent news that Yang Zhi went to Huangnigang Hotel for dinner, but he had no money for the meal and was stopped by him. After learning that it was Yang Zhi, he had already persuaded Yang Zhi to come to Liangshanbo
Yes, it will arrive soon.
Wu Dong couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Yang Zhi is also a Water Margin character that he likes very much. This man is highly skilled in martial arts and is a descendant of the generals of the Yang family. He fully intends to make great achievements and restore the glory of his ancestors. Unfortunately, this man also has a bad fate.
He originally served as an official and served as an envoy in front of the palace. Later, when he was escorting Hua Shi Gang, the strong wind capsized the boat and lost Hua Shi Gang, so he had to flee. The imperial court granted amnesty to the world, so he came to Bianliang City again.
He wanted to sell his ancestral sword, use money to bribe the superiors, and gain more fame, but unfortunately he met the rogue Niu Er, and tried to tease him in every possible way. He killed Niu Er in a rage, surrendered himself to jail, and was sent to Daming Mansion. When he arrived at Daming Mansion
Later, he was admired by Liang Zhong and became the commander of the army. He thought he would be able to make great achievements at this time. Unexpectedly, when he was escorting the birth plan, he was robbed by Chao Gai and his party again, and he had to fall into the trap of bandits.
It can be said that Yang Zhi has experienced too many troughs in life, but he has worked hard to get up every time. He wants to change his destiny, build a career, and honor his ancestors through his own efforts, but in the end he has to fall into the trap of being a bandit.
In the original Water Margin, Yang Zhi went to Erlong Mountain, but this time, Wu Dong sent someone to pick up Yang Zhi in advance, and now Yang Zhi finally came to Liangshan.
