"How was your rest last night?" Looking at Li Jun, the mixed sea dragon who had just returned to the cottage to rest for the night, Wang Lun asked.

Li Jun shook his head emotionally and replied: "I found that I am really not used to staying on land now, maybe I am used to drifting on the sea, and I am not comfortable when I land!" Speaking of which, Li Jun laughed at himself and said, "Maybe the little brother was born to drift in the water!" ”

Li Jun's words, Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu on the side laughed, Zhu Wu shook his head and said, "Brother told you to rest for two more days, you want to go to sea immediately." Brother, even if you fight hard, you must also pay attention to your body! ”

Li Jun subconsciously glanced at the old wound on his body, and said with emotion: "A few months ago, Li Jun was a person who was disheartened and almost retired from the rivers and lakes, but fortunately, his brother did not give up and pulled the younger brother back from the low tide of frustration, otherwise Li Jun would still be wandering now." Now that the little brother has found the meaning of life, where dare he waste a penny? ”

Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu glanced at each other, both of them sighing. Wang Lun also felt something, and said: "Brother, since you have said this, I really don't dare to take credit!" After all, it's your own creation! What I can play is just a supporting role, and the key is to rely on yourself! You Li Jun is a good man and a good piece of iron, so you can stand again in this wind and rain! Otherwise, no matter how hard I try, it will be in vain! ”

After Wang Lun finished speaking, Li Jun bowed solemnly and said, "Brother, Li Jun is not a person who talks much, everything depends on the actions of the younger brother!" ”

"Always watching, never blinking!" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn for a while, Wang Lun smiled and made a joke to everyone while helping Li Jun up.

Seeing that Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu couldn't help laughing out loud at this time, Li Jun's swarthy face also had a hint of a smile at this time, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"This time to go to sea is related to the safety of tens of thousands of people, and Xiao Qi is going to sea for the first time. The burden on my brother is not light! Wang Lun got back to business and instructed the leader in front of him who went to sea this time.

On this voyage, Liangshan gathered two fleets, a total of 21 ships with more than 1,000 materials (17,000 ships in Li Junying, and 16,000 materials in Ruan Xiaoqiying's 11 ships), with a total volume of 33,000 materials. Theoretically, it is possible to transport 33,000 adults weighing 60 kilograms, but considering that people are not cargo, they need a certain amount of space to move around during a seven- or eight-day voyage, and everything is not just like a cargo that is quietly stacked in the cabin.

Therefore, Wang Lun, Xiao and Zhu were added to the ship for field investigation. In the end, it was concluded that transporting 10,000 people to sea at a time, that is, accounting for about 30% of the total capacity of the fleet, had reached the top.

If there are more people, the density will be too large, not to mention the crowded, and it will be easy to arouse negative emotions such as irritability and panic in the vast sea. After careful consideration and full listening to the opinions of the hired old boatmen, Shanzhai decided to set the limit number of passengers at the red line of 10,000.

Considering that Jeju Island is in dire need of defense and construction at this time, it is necessary to build a large number of resources. In terms of the personnel who went to sea this time, the ratio of cottage soldiers, construction personnel and ordinary people is about 50%.

Ou Peng's amphibious battalion of 3,000 people all boarded the ship this time, while Tao Zongwang took 2,000 men first, and the remaining 3,000 people. You'll have to wait for your next ticket. A total of 900 households were selected for the second group of immigrants, and after carefully matching the number of households according to the number of households, the total number was almost just over 5,000.

According to Wang Lun's idea, it would be best to emigrate 50,000 to 60,000 people to Jeju Island. It's just that the people on Liangshan are far from this number at present. I didn't want Xiao Jiasui to have a big harvest from Yizhou this time, and brought back a total of more than 700 people, with a total of more than 4,000 people. In addition, there are strong men in their early 1,000s who can be included in the garrison.

Xiao Jiasui's people are extremely serious. After breaking Zhaojiazhuang, he took out half of the more than 90,000 stone grain in Zhaoxin's family, that is, 45,000 stones, and distributed it to the villagers who were bullied by Zhaoxin and Sorghum in ten miles and eight townships outside Zhaojia Village.

This time, a total of more than 4,500 families benefited, coupled with Xiao Jiasui's painstaking persuasion, finally half of the people who were born as tenants were willing to drag their families to Liangshan. This is not a little moved, and I can't be ruthless to press all the net worth, but I just see the family who is born on the mountain after the family suffers from gains and losses.

The other 45,000 stone of grain was directly cashed out by a large local household, and finally returned with silver. After all, this time I have to pass through the defense area of the famous general Wang Yu, and there are too many baggage belts, which will become a drag. Therefore, when he went down the mountain, Xiao Jiasui suggested to Wang Lun that in addition to the necessary grain and grass, all the others should be sold or distributed to the local people, and Wang Lun recognized and agreed to his plan at that time.

Speaking of Yizhou, Li Yun, who had recovered from his injuries at this time, had already gone down the mountain with Zou's uncle, nephew and apprentice Zhu Fu, depending on what he meant, he had to take Li Da to the cottage with his own hands, Wang Lun did not stop him, but just told him to go with Zou Run and Zou Yuan, and take care of him all the way, if there is any accident, go directly to Qingyun Mountain to move the rescuers.

Wu Song has had a lot of contact with Li Yun in the past few days, and after he came back, he was full of praise to Wang Lun, only saying that he was an old-timer in the capital, and in many ways Wu Song, a "newcomer", was admired. Wang Lun saw that Li Yun's character and profession were excellent, and immediately invited him to Jeju Island, on the one hand, to maintain law and order, and on the other hand, to train a group of professional and qualified public servants for the cottage.

Li Yun was only afraid that he would be in an embarrassing situation after going up the mountain, but at this time, Wang Lun had the intention of entrusting him with a heavy responsibility, how could he deliberately take care of it? agreed very simply on the spot, only accepted Li Da, and went to Jeju Island, which called him quite novel.

There are candidates for the head of the capital, so it is naturally indispensable to match Wen Huanzhang as the head of the group, so Uncle He Jiu is also in the list of going to Jeju Island, just waiting for Li Yun to take Li Da back to the mountain, and a group of people will go by boat.

After learning the news that Uncle He Jiu was about to leave, Wu Song looked for Wang Lun alone, and Wang Lun also thought that he was interceding for his sister-in-law's family, afraid that Uncle He Jiu was old and unwilling to stay away from his homeland. Wu Song instead asked Wang Lun to send his brother Wu Dalang's family to Jeju Island. For this kind of thing that has nothing to do with the overall situation, Wang Lun will certainly not refute his brother's face.

It's just that when he thought back on it afterwards, he felt that the big rear of Jeju Island was probably not light on the hearts of the cottage brothers.

Here, Wang Lun and the two military advisors were saying goodbye to Li Jun before leaving, and on the other side of the dock, the same scene was also being staged.

At this time, Ma Lin deliberately took leave with Lin Chong, and came with Jiang Jing to bid farewell to his old brothers Ou Peng and Tao Zongwang, and watched his four brothers from Huangmen Mountain now take care of their own stalls in Dazhai. Like a fish in water, Ma Lin was quite touched, squatted alone on a boulder by the dock, took out the iron flute in his arms, and played a farewell tune.

"Okay, the third brother, the eldest brother and the fourth brother are going to Jeju Island, not to Tokyo to fight with Zhao Guan's family, what are you doing! The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone? Jiang Jing heard the sadness in the tune, and felt a little uncomfortable. At this time, the tone couldn't help but be a little heavier.

Ou Peng stepped forward and patted Jiang Jing's shoulder, looked around at the three of them, and said, "I'm not worried about the second brother, Brother Du Qian doesn't know how much to rely on him." It's the third child, and he still has to spend more effort in the infantry army to give Lin Jiaotou a good start. Since my brother values the four of us so much, and supports us with face, we have to take it steady! Don't let the heroes on the rivers and lakes laugh at us, saying that our men from Huangmen Mountain have arrived in Liangshan Dazhai, a place where there are many heroes. It's buried! ”

"What's buried?" Ruan Xiaoqi was "urging" Du Qian and Song Wan to lead the garrison to carry supplies to the ship, and when he saw the four heroes of Huangmen Mountain saying goodbye here, he came over to say hello, not wanting to hear Ou Peng's words as soon as he came over.

"Seventh brother. My eldest brother taught us to work hard, otherwise we will be buried by the heroes of the cottage! Ma Lin saw Ruan Xiaoqi coming over and put away the iron flute in his hand. Get up and greet him.

Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said, "One is the leader of Jeju Island, and the right-hand man of Wen Taishou in the future." The safety of Jeju Island does not depend entirely on him? One is a god operator, according to me, our cottage nickname has a god, but it is Brother Jiang Jing and Doctor An! There is another one who has nothing he cannot build! And you Tie Di Xian, these days, Brother Yu and Yuan Lang have been looking for you to say good things, you said that the four of you are all good at it, who can bury you? ”

The four of them here were a little embarrassed when they saw it, Ou Peng was the head of Huangmen Mountain, and he would not be easily suppressed by the other party in the conversation, only to see him look at Ruan Xiaoqi at this time and smile: "Seventh brother, why don't you see the second brother and the fifth brother?" ”

"They? I said early and late that I was going to send each other, but I stopped me! It's not like it's gone and never back, and it's so hurtful! By the way, Lao Tao, you have to leave me a good house on Jeju Island! When I settle down in the future, I will take my wife over and enjoy the blessings! Ruan Xiaoqi looked at Tao Zongwang and smiled.

"No problem, even if we don't have a place to live, we can't shorten the old lady!" Tao Zongwang patted his chest and said.

Ruan Xiaoqi is a fast person, and he likes Tao Zongwang's style of not dragging his feet, so he lowered his voice and said: "Actually, my mother and my sister-in-law are not used to living ......."

The four of them were amused by this material, and Ma Lin smiled: "If the old lady goes to Jeju Island, where does my brother go to eat, will it be possible to squeeze a room with us?" ”

No one in the cottage knows that Ruan's Sanxiong's mother is not an ordinary old woman, and every time the owner of the village sees her, he has to call out to the old lady. She also didn't treat the owner of the village as an outsider at all, she was closer to him than her three sons, and always said that the big pot of rice in the house was not chewy, so she asked Wang Lun and Jiao Ting to go to her house for dinner. This incident made Song Wan aggrieved when he saw people, and complained to the Ruan brothers in person several times, saying that my mother wants to take my brother to dinner, I have absolutely no opinion, but you can't use the guise of bad food in the gang, but he, the leader of the gang, is recruiting someone to provoke whom.

Ruan Xiaoqi obviously knew about this matter, and laughed when he heard it. At this time, Ma Lin's eyes were sharp, and he saw Wang Lun and others walking towards this side, and shouted, "Brother is here!" ”

Seeing this, everyone greeted them with a smile, Ruan Xiaoqi took a look at Wang Lun, and said: "Du Qian and Song Wan told the little brother to dare not be lazy, at this time the materials are almost carried out, and it is time to invite the people to get on the boat, otherwise they will not be able to catch up with the auspicious time for a while!" Little brother, go and urge! ”

Wang Lun saw that Ruan Xiaoqi had already entered the state, of course he would not stop him, and saw him go, and when Ruan Xiaoqi walked away, Wang Lun turned around and asked Xiao Jiasui: "Have you told the widows and family members of the brothers who died in the cottage in the past?" ”

Li Da's matter reminded Wang Lun, and he discussed with the two military advisors that night, and he wanted to send someone to inform the families of the fallen brothers scattered in various places about the division of the cottage's fields, and it was up to them to decide whether to come or not, but the cottage would have similar benefits in the future, and it must be notified to each family according to the household. Just because their sons and nephews died in battle, they don't feel that they have nothing to do with the cottage anymore.

"The nearby ones have been notified, and there are also about 200 families going up the mountain, according to my brother's instructions, try to give them priority, this time they are all arranged to go in, just take this boat away! In addition, there are some distant ones, as well as those who have received pensions to buy fields and move, but they have not been notified yet! Xiao Jiasui said respectfully. He is very much in favor of Wang Lun's resolution, as the saying goes, "Those who win the hearts of the people become great causes", if the cottage has done all these things, and after it becomes famous, then it will not be far from success.

"It doesn't matter, when our cottage is strong in the future, they will hear the news, if there is really a difficulty, they will rush over! As long as it is the family of our fallen brothers, no matter what time it is, we will recognize it! Wang Lun looked around at everyone.

Ou Peng and the others all nodded excitedly in response. In fact, in this matter, Ou Peng felt the deepest. Whether it is in Huangmen Mountain or Liangshan, he is the leader who directly leads the troops, and most of the people under his command are the minions of the original Huangmen Mountain, but this group of old brothers under his command, since they have fought in Liangshan, their spirit and spirit can be said to be completely different from before.

As for why there will be such a big change, it is a question that he has been thinking about for a long time. And now, it seems that the core answer to this question is right in front of you, within reach.

Wang Lun didn't notice Ou Peng's mental activity, he saw that Jiang Jing happened to be here, and asked: "How is the progress of our large-scale purchase of cultivated cattle this time?" ”

"More than 600 ploughing cattle should have been received so far. In this matter, the cottage allocated 10,000 yuan reserve fund to the head of Hu, and I met him this morning, and I happened to chat, and I heard that there are still more than 4,000 guan texts that have not been used up! Jiang Jing replied.

Wang Lun nodded, he knew that the price of a cultivated cow at this time was not too expensive, the price of a cultivated cow fluctuated between seven and ten guan, and it was less than 10,000 guan to buy a thousand cattle, of course, the purchase volume in some areas was large, and it would be a certain degree of premium, but it was also acceptable, at this time, it was far from the point where an adult cow in the early Southern Song Dynasty was twenty to thirty guan, and at that time, even a calf would cost ten guan, and there were even places where it reached a terrifying price ten times higher than now.

"According to my brother's plan for nearly 10,000 immigrants, nearly 10,000 head of cattle will be bought, and the total cost is estimated to be less than 100,000 yuan, but I am afraid that the cottage will be a little unbearable for a while!" At this time, Jiang Jing did not forget his bank, and expressed his worries about the financial situation of the cottage to Wang Lun.

"I told Hu Cheng that the seafood we seized in Dengzhou this time, even if the price is slightly lowered, will be traded in cash, and it is expected that 300,000 yuan will be credited to the account in a short period of time, and the account will look much better at that time. This time, my seizures in Dengzhou and Xiao Junshi's seizures in Yizhou add up, and there are also 110,000 yuan in cash! Wait, you'll get better after this time! Wang Lun sighed with some emotion. At this time, his eyes stayed on the newly built small sea boats on the dock, and his heart had a little more anticipation.

This group of ships will be led by the four heroes of the Red Whisker Dragon Fei Bao, the Curly Haired Tiger Ni Yun, the Yangtze Jiao Buqing and the thin-faced Xiong Di Cheng, and they will go to sea with the large army, but as soon as they enter the Bohai Sea, they will separate from the fleets of Li Jun and Ruan Xiaoqi and advance towards another goal.
