Going into the water...

The result of entering the water fully proves that General Yang is the reincarnation of a crocodile...

"The general is really like a dragon!"

Ruan Xiaoqi exclaimed in admiration.

Just now, the two of them had a breath-holding game under the joint testimony of countless people. The final result was that he sat quietly in the water tank for about a moment and a half. At this time, one hundred moments of day and night, that is, one quarter of an hour or about fourteen minutes and twenty-four seconds, which was equivalent to his breath-holding for more than twenty minutes.

This is already a world record level.

And Wang Yue...

This bastard was held in the water for half an hour before he came out with a deep feeling.

"I'll just say it, I have the final say in the water.

But you are indeed very good at water. Since you are Shi Jin's brother, that is my brother. I will drink and eat meat with me in the future. It just so happens that I have something to use for you!"

Wang Yue said.

"General, please give me order!"

Ruan Xiaoqi said readily.

This guy is better than Shi Jin. In fact, he has returned to his old career and gathered a group of hundreds of water bandits in Liangshanpo.

To be precise, it is both the people and the bandits.

The origin of Liangshanpo's rebellion was actually the nationalization of Li Yan's land on Jingdong Road, or the Kuotian.

This is one of the later financial pillars of great painters. Yang Jian was in charge before. This eunuch had a higher status under the great painter than Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng. It was because he was responsible for making money for great painters. All the entire Liangshanpo was nationalized. Then he made a name to collect money, and even fishermen had to pay taxes even if they were to cut grass. After Yang Jian died, it was replaced by Li Yan.

Of course, this kind of thing is huge.

So Wang Yue included Li Yan on the list of six thieves.

He pulls hatred.

The original cause of the rebellion of these people in Liangshan was that this Liangshanbo was state-owned.

Of course, it's not just Liangshanpo.

Li Yan's western city is located in Huaibei, western Shandong and eastern Henan, and even along Hebei, and along the Huaihe area, and all lands are investigated. Those with land deeds must take out the land deeds, and those who cannot get the land deeds are public fields. All rivers, lakes, swamps, mountains and forests are also public fields, and taxes are required for logging, fishing and mowing grass.

This is why the great painter did not cause financial collapse even if he struggled so much.

Continuing war to the outside world.

Carry out wonder building internally.

There are more and more redundant officials, and officials are given high salaries and various subsidies, and they support millions of soldiers on their books.

But still rich!

The reason is very simple. He and his subordinates would make money. Cai Jing presided over various state specialties and distributed paper money indiscriminately. Even the water mills in the capital were all government officials. People had to pay money to the painters when grinding noodles. Yang Jian and Li Yan were engaged in land nationalization in the north, and the people had to pay money to Xicheng for whatever they did. Zhu Xie also tried his best to plunder them in the southeast with Hua Shigang.

These are all for great painters to make money.

Of course, the wool comes from the sheep. No matter who these policies are targeted, the final result will be passed on to the lowest class of poor people.

Why did the people in Liangshanpo rebel?

When mowing grass, you have to pay taxes according to the number of ships, when fishing, and when digging lotus roots, you have to pay taxes.

All have to be paid!

These policies have not changed at all. Ruan Xiaoqi, who had originally rebelled, was certainly necessary to take the fishermen on this road. This time, he heard that Kaifeng was in trouble and bandits from all over the country were rushing here, so he brought some of his elite troops to make a fortune.

The Wuzhang River crosses Liangshan Pond, and these people are completely coming along the river.

“What I want my brother to do is very simple.

Go back and recruit as many fishermen as possible, and then build as many boats as possible, at least thousands of boats must be used, and they cannot be too small. They must be able to carry dozens of people on the Yellow River for a long distance.

And you only have two months.

It is almost August now, and these ships must gather in Kaifeng before the first day of October.

Then I took my brothers here to board the boat, and we went to Yanshan Mansion together. After we got there, the fishermen were willing to stay. I opened up a hundred acres of land and continued fishing. The coastal areas were as much as they wanted. All those who were willing to join the army would pay 50 cents a year, and there was no deduction. As long as I got there, I would ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing.

Those who don’t want to stay will take the money and leave.”

Wang Yue said.

He has to be ready to retreat.

At present, the imperial guards and the traitors and the loyal and righteous people he selected locally, all of them had to be taken to Yanshan Mansion with him, so he had to carry at least a retreat of 20,000 people. Many of these people had to take their families and the harvest of the trip, especially the large amount of food. So he needed a large fleet of ships. Kaifeng could indeed collect a lot, but the number was still not enough, and most of the ships here were from the south, and people had to take a boat home.

It just so happens that Ruan Xiaoqi is now there.

Let this guy go back to Liangshanpo and collect ships along Liangshanpo and Wuzhang River.

Even if you build a ship, it's time to do it.

In fact, there were enough wood and craftsmen to build an inland river boat in less than a few days. Ruan Xiaoqi must be familiar with this, and it was not only Liangshanpo, but also connected to the Nansi River area. He could collect ships throughout western Shandong.

Then gather in Kaifeng before the first day of October.

The troops here boarded the ship along the Bian River to Biankou and entered the Yellow River. Then the rest went down the river and went straight down the river to make a thousand-mile drift. They rushed back to Yanshan Mansion before the freezing, preparing to fight against the Jurchens next, and by the way, they could also harvest a group of subordinates familiar with the water.

Yanshan Mansion is enough to accommodate them.

Whether it is the Haikou area in Tianjin or the Jiehe area, the water network is all similar to that in Liangshanpo. These people will like it. They will also be very useful in the future. Whether it is to form their own naval army or the planned northern smuggling, there are all such a group of people who are specifically located in the inland river water network.

They are professional!

"I'll leave this to my brother!"

Ruan Xiaoqi said readily.

"Get the money!"

Wang Yue said.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Jin and five soldiers walked over and put them in front of them, and Wang Yue kicked the lid open...

"These are expenses for brothers. If you don't have enough, come back and ask me for it!"

Wang Yue said.

There is a whole box of politicians and money inside.

One piece weighs eight grams and contains less than 50% of the silver content, but two such silver coins are basically equivalent to the current copper coins. In fact, iron coins are used in the area of ​​Jingdong Road, so one piece is basically a solid iron coins.

"Are you afraid that your brother will never come back?"

Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"Ha, since you treat you as a brother, you won't doubt you!"

Wang Yue said frankly.

"The general is really a hero. If you dare to do something treacherous, you will be hit by five thunder and will be left with no bones!"

Ruan Xiaoqi said with some emotion, clasping her fists.

It was obvious that he lacked understanding of General Yang's gains in Kaifeng. Twenty thousand silver coins were nothing. Gold, silver and jewelry were piled up in the tower, not to mention that the great painter had to pay one million yuan. Twenty thousand silver coins were nothing more than pulling hairs from his body.
Chapter completed!
