In the minds of the ancients, there was a huge difference in status between the head wife and the concubines. If there was no head wife, no matter how many concubines there were, one would still be considered single.
Naturally, Wu Dong couldn't explain his concept of wives and concubines to Hu Cheng. On the one hand, he secretly scolded Wu Yong, and on the other hand, he said: "Zhao Xuexuan is just a new shopkeeper I hired. He doesn't know me very well. I do have
Wife’s.”
Hu Cheng was very disappointed, but he had no choice but to stop mentioning the matter. The two said a few more words, and then Wu Dong said goodbye and left.
Wu Dong left the big house and walked for a while when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and then saw a girl chasing him, it was Hu Sanniang.
Hu Sanniang did not wear Tsing Yi today, but put on a light pink dress, which made her look even more beautiful and charming.
Wu Dong couldn't help but stop, wondering if Hu Sanniang was going to "sneak attack" him again? He frowned for a moment.
Unexpectedly, when Hu Sanniang came to his side, she didn't make a move, she just stared at him closely, her eyes full of anger.
Wu Dong felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Miss Hu, what's wrong?"
Hu Sanniang gritted her teeth and said, "You bad guy, you insult me like this! You insulted me yesterday, and you insult me again today."
Wu Dong said strangely: "It was my fault yesterday, and I apologize to you. But why did I insult you again today? The competition this morning was because of my superior skills, and I did not mean to embarrass you."
Hu Sanniang said angrily: "You, you... you... obviously don't have a wife. My brother took the initiative to propose marriage to you, but you refused. It's obvious that you don't like me. Isn't this an insult to me?"
As she spoke, Hu Sanniang's eyes turned red.
Wu Dong was stunned. He didn't expect that this could be considered an "insult." Wu Dong felt that he had been shot while lying down. He wanted to explain, but Hu Sanniang had already turned around and ran away.
Shaking his head, Wu Dong did not take this matter to heart and immediately returned to his residence. For Wu Dong, he admired Hu Sanniang in Water Margin. If Hu Sanniang's fate was the same as that in Water Margin,
Naturally, he could not help but come to the rescue. But now Hu Sanniang is living a good life. She is the rich daughter of a dignified landowner. She has no worries about food and drink, and there is no disaster like family destruction, so there is no need for him to rescue her. In addition,
Wu Dong felt that it was better not to provoke Hu Sanniang's obvious young temper.
In the next few days, Wu Dong and others were exploring the environment of Dulonggang, and they became more and more fond of it.
A few days later, Wu Dong and others finally said goodbye and left, preparing to return to Liangshanbo.
Walking on the mountain road, the breeze was blowing and it was extremely cool. Wu Dong said: "We must capture this Dulonggang! The terrain here is so good, the people here are also very brave, and there are many heroes. It is really a treasure land.
I will ask Zhu Gui to come and recruit the heroes here some other day."
Zhu Gui is the leader in charge of intelligence in Liangshanbo. He is also responsible for recruiting heroes from all over the world. This is exactly his job.
Wu Yong said: "Big Chief, the people in Dulonggang are living well here, but they may not seek refuge with us in Liangshan."
Wu Dong nodded slightly and said, "Is there anything you can do?"
Wu Yong said: "Big Chief, I don't think it's better than this... We send people pretending to be bandits who are robbing homes and houses to harass Dulonggang. When Dulonggang can no longer deal with it, we will recruit them again, saying that we are willing to help them get rid of the bandits. At that time, they will definitely
I can’t refuse.”
Wu Dong first frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "This idea is a bit sinister... Who do you think we are pretending to be?"
Wu Yongdao: "In Shandong, except for us in Liangshanbo who don't raid homes and homes, the rebel bandits in other places raid homes and homes, so they can pretend to be. However, among these bandits, the most famous ones are Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain, and Taohua Mountain. 2
Deng Long, the leader of Longshan, usually only robbed near Erlong Mountain and rarely went to other places. Li Zhong and Zhou Tong of Taohuashan also robbed in a relatively small area. Only Qingfeng Mountain robbed everywhere, and they were very vicious, not only
We rob wealth, repay sex, kill people, and do all kinds of evil. We pretended to be Qingfeng Mountain to make these people in Dulonggang afraid."
Qingfeng Mountain is the village where the famous Wang Ying and Wang Aohu from the Water Margin live. Wang Aohu is a very lustful man. If a woman encounters him, no matter whether she is old or young, beautiful or ugly, no one can escape his murderous hands. Except for Wang Aohu
In addition to the dwarf tiger, there is also the golden-haired tiger Yan Shun, who is very greedy for money. There is also a white-faced gentleman Zheng Tianshou, who likes to kill people, and he kills them cruelly. He often eats human flesh and drinks human blood.
So he is called "The White-faced Man" because others compare him to Bai Wuchang in the underworld. These three people are responsible for causing harm to each other and have a great reputation. Throughout Shandong, even three-year-old children will be frightened when they hear their names.
cry.
Wu Dong thought for a while and said: "Okay, this is a good idea! But we are just using their names to harass and harass the bankers here at most. We cannot really rob money, rob sex, or kill people."
The matter was settled in this way, and within three days everyone returned to Liangshanbo.
****
After returning to Liangshanbo, Wu Dong first asked Li Shishi and Pan Jinlian to meet.
Pan Jinlian saw Master Li's beautiful appearance and charming elegance. She couldn't help but feel jealous. At the same time, she felt sour and her words were a bit unpleasant. Master Li couldn't help laughing when she saw this. She was in the brothel.
Over the years, I have seen many people, and their way of conducting themselves in the world far surpassed that of Pan Jinlian. Then she took Pan Jinlian’s hand and began to talk in a low voice. I don’t know what she said, but Pan Jinlian’s face turned red and her mood changed.
Get great.
After a while, the two of them were talking and laughing, in great harmony.
Wu Dong was very happy when he saw that the relationship between the two was good. Men want to have more women, but if a woman has a bad relationship and gets into trouble, it will be a headache.
Now it seems that getting Master Li has many benefits. She is a stunning beauty and a talented woman, and she can also coordinate family relationships. I am really lucky to have her.
That night, Li Shishi and Pan Jinlian accompanied Wu Dong together, and naturally another absurdity was inevitable.
The next day, Wu Dong summoned Lin Chong, Chao Gai, Yang Zhi, Wu Song and others and said, "How are you thinking about the comprehensive conscription system now?"
Lin Chong said: "I think it should be implemented! If it is only in Liangshanbo, of course it does not need to be like this, but now that we want to develop in Goryeo, the military strength is insufficient. Comprehensive conscription can provide sufficient military strength."
Chao Gai said: "Big Chief, if you do this, will it cause opposition from the people?"
In this era, the emphasis is on "good men should not be soldiers". Most families do not want their children to join the army, and the same is true for Liang Shanbo.
Wu Dong said: "As long as we do a good job of publicity, there should be no problem."
Chao Gai said: "Big leader, how should we promote it?"
Wu Dong said: "First of all, let me tell the people that our military system is completely different from that of the imperial court. Except for a small number of recruited soldiers, most people will become soldiers for the rest of their lives, and their families will also become soldiers.
From now on, all descendants will be soldiers. And our military system means that if you join the army, you only serve for 5 years. After you retire, you will still be an ordinary citizen. We have no distinction between civilian households and military households. Second, tell the people that our military pay
Far more than the imperial court, reaching 30 taels per year, and our pay will not be in arrears. As long as we join the army, we will be paid first. At the beginning of each year, we will pay the current year's military pay. If we can't do it, the soldiers can withdraw from the army. Chapter
Third, tell them that the imperial court is eyeing us. If I do not have enough troops, I will not be able to protect Liangshanbo. When the imperial army comes over, their current fields and wealth will be lost."
In the current Song Dynasty, the salary of ordinary soldiers is only 5 to 10 taels per year. Even the imperial guards in the palace only receive 20 taels per year. And this is before deductions. Officers at all levels deduct some, plus
The royal court's pay was often not enough, and many soldiers went hungry.
Liang Shanbo now monopolized the business between the Song Dynasty and the Goryeo Kingdom, and Wu Dong's business in his early years was getting bigger and bigger, so there was no shortage of money, and the annual income was enough to pay tens of thousands of soldiers.
Everyone discussed for a while, and the matter was settled. In the next few days, everyone began to be busy with the matter of comprehensive recruitment in Liangshan.
Wu Dong called Zhu Gui over and told Zhu Gui about Dulonggang, saying: "There are quite a few heroes in Dulonggang. Zhujiazhuang's coach Luan Tingyu, Zhujiazhuang's three heroes, Zhulong, Zhuhu
, Zhu Biao, Li Ying of Lijiazhuang, etc. are all extraordinary, you go and try to recruit them...start with Lijiazhuang first. In addition, I will send Wu Yong to cooperate with you and launch some harassment against Dulonggang."
Zhu Gui nodded and agreed, and then he went to Wu Yong to discuss with Wu Yong the recruitment of Dulonggang.
****
On that day, Wu Yong led an army of several hundred people to Dulonggang. These hundreds of people were currently the most elite troops in Liangshanbo. They were extremely disciplined, but they did not have much actual combat experience. Wu Yong did not let them
Not to fight, but to harass.
So in the next half month, this army pretended to be bandits from Qingfeng Mountain, operating at night every day, burning haystacks, damaging fields, and even kidnapping some people.
Wu Yong was very excited to command this army, thinking that he might be on par with Hua Rong? Anyway, they were commanding the army, and his performance may not be as good as Hua Rong. He was very interested in harassing the people, and if it weren't for Wu Yong
If Dong has strict orders, he may do something very excessive.
But even so, the Hu family, Zhu family, and Li family in Dulonggang couldn't stand it anymore. These three families all sent people to hunt down the "Qingfeng Mountain" villain, but the "Qingfeng Mountain" villain's actions were too secretive.
How can the common people pursue the regular army? Even the Hu family, Zhu family, and Li family have some experts, but the "Qingfeng Mountain" thieves move too fast, and often when a warning appears in a place, they
When I rushed over, there was no one there.
Mrs. Zhu from Zhujiazhuang hurriedly sent people to Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang, and invited the managers of the two families to go to Zhujiazhuang to discuss how to deal with the "Qingfeng Mountain" villain.
