Free Reading Highlights:
Xiaoxuanfeng Chaijin is Liangshanpo’s chief of the internal affairs department and the “supervisor of the bank and bank,” responsible for all life, money and food matters.
At the end of each month, the brothers who were in charge of robbing houses and short-circuiting houses gathered the looted grain and transported them to Liangshanpo.
At the end of the month, he is the busiest. Holding the account book every day, count and calculate the “harvest” of this month.
On this day, Song An himself used the method of extracting alcohol at Master Li’s last time and simply distilled a few small jars of wine with a degree of about 30 degrees for Dad to taste.
The old man tasted it and was full of praise: “Well, although it is a bit bitter and unspeakable, the taste is much more mellow and rich than what we usually drink!”
The “unspeakable stimulating taste” that the old man said was actually spicy, but in the Song Dynasty, peppers had not been introduced to China, so there was no spicy concept in the Song people’s concept. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that peppers entered China as an ornamental plant.
Chai Jin opened the curtain and walked in, his face full of anxiety.
“Look, brother, this is our September harvest.” Chai Jin put the account book in his arms on the table in front of Song Jiang.
Song Jiang waved his hand again and again: “I don’t need to watch Daguan Chai do things!”
Chai Jin opened the account book with a grim expression and sent it to Song Jiang.
Song Jiang glanced casually, and his expression immediately changed: “How come this month’s harvest is only three or two thousand silver coins? Isn’t it a miscalculation?”
“It’s not bad. The brothers sent so much.”
“In the past months, it was at least 130,000 to 4 million. Is it possible that you were robbed by a strongman?” Song Jiang asked in surprise.
Chai Jin shook his head: “Because Fang La, Tian Hu, Wang Qing and others in Jiangnan, Hebei, and Huaixi have caused chaos, occupying more than two hundred states and counties, we can no longer do business wherever they have conquered. In places where they live, the government has also strengthened its military strength by transporting money and food. Only relying on the capture of wealthy households and merchants will naturally reduce it by half. I am afraid it will be even worse next month.”
Song Jiang panicked: “Let’s say that Liang Shanbo’s monthly expenses are less than 100,000 pennies. Although Xiao An just robbed 200,000 pennies of his birthday, it only has enough for more than two months. , That would be troublesome!”
Dad’s words are by no means alarmist.
In the Song Dynasty, the usual money was almost one or two silver, which could buy about three to four hundred catties of grain, and 200,000 coins could buy 80 million catties of grain.
Liangshanbo infantry, horse army, navy army soldiers and their families 200,000 people, at three catties per person per day, they would eat 600,000 catties of food every day. Three catties are guaranteed. Xiang Li Kui, Wu Song, and Lu Zhishen are so appetites that no one can eat seven or eight catties every day! And there are a large number of such big stomach kings!
Ten thousand ÷ 600,000 ≈ 133 days.
This is just to convert all the 200,000 pennies into rations.
If you include clothes, drinking, armaments, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, cows, horses, mules, donkeys, food and grass, etc., you won’t be able to pay without a 100,000 yuan a month!
Robbery is Liangshanpo’s main business project. Although there are fishing and hunting, it can only add a piece of meat to the rice bowls of the brothers. As for the small hotel in Zhugui, it earns three to five hundred taels of silver a year, which is not enough for the sacrifice of teeth. of.
There are a total of 1.2 million pennies in the treasury. Although it can last a year without doing anything, it is indeed panic if you do so.
Song Jiang called into the soldiers and ordered him to summon the brothers from Tiangangdi to Zhongyi Hall to discuss matters.
Of course, Song An is still indispensable this time.
Everything is the same. As a junior, he stands at the bottom, next to the “Golden Retriever” Duan Jing, who is ranked 108th.
As soon as everyone was seated, Leopard Head Lin Chong said, “Brother, this time the catastrophe, Xiao Ang made his first contribution, and in addition to his repeated contributions before, this Zhongyi Hall should give him a top spot!”
As soon as this remark came out, Li Kui immediately got up and said, “Yes, brother, and last time I went to Bianjing with Lin Jiaotou and Dean Dai. If it weren’t for Xiao An, we would all have to be given to Ling Chi by Yang Jian’s birds. Got it!”
Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Yan Qing, and Dai Zong also stood up to help Song An.
Afterwards, more than twenty people including Hua Rong, Shi Jin, Zhang Qing, Zhang Shun, etc. also stood up. During the more than a month of practicing paragliding, Song An has been tirelessly teaching them every day, and naturally he has some courage.
In this way, the remaining brothers basically stood up, except for Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and Lu Junyi who were sitting above them.
Lu Junyi said: “This time to take the birthday guide, it really allows Lu to see Xiao An’s ingenuity and courage. Brother, it is better to give Xiao An a top spot in this Zhongyi Hall!”
“What Lu Yuanwai said is extremely true, and Xiao Ke also agrees very much.” Wu Yong said.
Just when Lin Chonggang spoke, Song Jiang was very pleased. When he saw the support of the brothers, he was overjoyed. Whose baby was recognized as a father?
But in the demeanor of Big Brother’s impartiality and not cronyism, he still refuses to act.
“Never, my one hundred and eight brothers are all brothers of the same generation. If you insert a young man, isn’t it a mess of etiquette?”
“Brother, even if this Zhongyi Hall has Xiao An’s top spot, Xiao An will still call your father and our uncle. Where is the etiquette rules?”
