Are you crazy?Liangshan bandits became the backbone of the Han people

"Tell me, who are you?"

"I'm just an ordinary person."

Seeing that the man was still quibbling, the old man pointed at him and asked.

"We are all peasants. We have worked with mud for a generation. Everyone's hands are extremely rough, but yours are so white and tender. It doesn't seem like hands that can grow crops."

After hearing this, the people suddenly realized.

They looked at the man viciously, and were almost bewitched by this man to snatch everyone from the family.

Thinking of Liang Shanhou's methods, everyone shuddered in fright.

The heads of those bullies before were still on the ground, they really didn't dare to provoke Liang Shanhou.

Now that the matter is up to now, the man waved his hand indifferently: "It's fine if you don't go, and you deserve it if you starve to death!"

After speaking, he pushed away the people beside him, wanting to leave.

"Stop him."

"There is absolutely something wrong with this person. How could ordinary people say such lies to confuse the public, and they want to lead everyone down a road of no return."

Hearing the old man's words, the people rushed up and tied him to the ground.

Someone asked: "My father-in-law, what should I do now?"

Hearing this, the old man sternly said: "Tie him up first, that lord has been fighting all night, so it's inconvenient to disturb him at this time."

"Speaking of which, it's time to meet again!"

……

On the other side, in the yamen of Yanzhou City, 377's dried blood made Lin Yuan feel uncomfortable.

Although he has six times the physique, when he charged all night, he was always in the sharp knife position of the army, so he was already exhausted.

It wasn't until after a pleasant bath that he let out a long breath. He turned his head and said to Hu Sanniang who was behind him, "Go and rest quickly, I'll do this kind of thing myself in the future!"

Hu Sanniang shook her head stubbornly, her eyes full of pity.

"Master, I can't fight with you on the battlefield, so let me serve you well now."

As she spoke, she brought a bowl of hot porridge to Lin Yuan, picked up the spoon and gently lifted it up.

Seeing that Lin Yuan wanted to refuse, he bit his lip and said weakly, "Brother Lin, Sister Yi An knows this, and she agrees."

Lin Yuan's heart warmed, and it was hard to bear the beauty's kindness.

Looking at the woman in front of her with red ears, as long as she refuses, let go!

It was not until the afternoon that Lin Yuan opened the door refreshed.

Outside the door, Habayashi Wei respectfully said: "Master, there is an old man outside the door asking to see him, saying he is your old friend?"

Lin Yuan never remembered that he was in contact with people in the Sixteen States of Yanyun, so he asked suspiciously, "Have you ever asked about the name?"

"He said his name is Zong Ze!"

"Zong Ze?" Lin Yuan asked in surprise.

"Please hurry up, I didn't expect him to leave without saying goodbye and come to Yanzhou!".

Chapter 393

Yanzhou belongs to the north, and the weather becomes colder after October.Outside the mansion, Zong Ze, who was dressed in blue, waited silently, his whole body was frozen stiff.

Although the body is cold, but the heart is indeed warm at the moment.

He looked at the Liangshan soldiers who had become so tyrannical in nearly a year.

With only tens of thousands of troops, 15 golden soldiers were defeated.

Not only wiped out 4 enemy troops, but even captured more than [-] prisoners alive.

Simply incredible.

If he hadn't seen with his own eyes the endless golden captives tied tightly with ropes, Zong Ze would never have believed that there was such a powerful army in the Great Song Dynasty.

At this time, Zong Ze felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have left Liangshan hastily.

Back then, after Zongze went to Liangshan, he found that it was not suitable for him.

Liang Shan is mostly a hero from the forest. Although he is not reckless, it is very difficult for an official like him who came from a serious school to integrate.

Zong Ze is grateful to Lin Yuan for helping him, but it does not mean that he has completely lost himself.

So, after leaving a letter, he left Liangshan decisively.

Then he wandered all the way, and finally came to Yanzhou.

Outside.

When Lin Yuan saw Zong Ze, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

"Lord Zong, I didn't expect you to leave without saying goodbye and come to Yanzhou. If I hadn't led the troops to attack here, I'm afraid your life would be in jeopardy!"

"I also never expected that the golden thief dared to drive you to the Kingdom of Jin. Fortunately, my subordinates intercepted it in time, otherwise I would lead my troops to destroy the Kingdom of Jin."

Hearing this, Zong Ze showed reverence on his face, and he said respectfully: "Liangshanhou is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. Fortunately, my lord led the troops here, otherwise I am afraid that I will really be regarded as a slave of the golden man."

Lin Yuan waved his hand and asked sideways: "This is not a place to talk, Mr. Zong, please follow me to the mansion to have a talk."

Zong Ze cupped his fists: "Thank you, sir."

……

The two came to the living room together.

Zong Ze glanced at the room, shook his head and said, "It's so extravagant that people don't know what to say. Under the rule of the Liao Kingdom for these years, the people of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun have long been separated from each other. Cut clean."

"There are only some items in this room that I didn't take away. I'm afraid they can be worth a lot of money if they are taken out."

"Master Du once wrote in the previous dynasty that the wine and meat roads of Zhumen were frozen to death, and now the situation in Yanzhou cannot be more aptly described."

Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled wryly and said, "It's all the mistakes made by the predecessors, and there's nothing we can do about it."

As he spoke, he handed Zongze a cup of steaming tea: "Master Zong has been waiting outside the door for so long, drink a cup of tea to warm up first~¨."

Zong Ze thanked him for taking it, took a sip of hot tea, and immediately warmed up all over his body.

"It doesn't matter, the weather in the north is like this, the colder it gets as you go north, and it will probably be even colder if you're in the Kingdom of Jin."

Lin Yuan nodded, and the two sipped tea carefully.

Not long after, Zong Ze put down his teacup and said softly, "I came this time to report something to Your Excellency."

Lin Yuan nodded in doubt and said, "I don't know what's going on?"

Therefore, Zong Ze informed everything that happened outside the door this morning.

Lin Yuan was shocked when he heard the man bewitching the people.

If Zong Ze hadn't seen it right away, I'm afraid there would be a mutiny among the people today.

Before Lin Yuan entered the city, he knew what the Liao Kingdom was doing.

When the 20 Liao soldiers led by Wu Yanshu were defeated, these Khitan nobles were the first to get word that after wantonly plundering the people, they ran faster than rabbits.

After the Kingdom of Jin is attacked, there will be no oil or water left.

Wanyan Aguda was planning to give Yanzhou some time to recover. He knew that the Liao Kingdom had been operating here for decades, and the economy had already developed.

As long as time is given, the Sixteen States of Yanyun will send a steady stream of silver to the Kingdom of Jin.

Unfortunately.

He met Lin Yuan!

Not only did he not be given a chance to develop, but he also left his wealth and life in the Song Dynasty.

Lin Yuan thought about all this clearly, and took a deep look at Zong Ze.

This person must be used for himself!

After Zong Ze finished speaking, he bowed deeply and said, "Liang Shanhou is a rare man of benevolence and righteousness in the world. Zong Ze came to see Your Excellency and said so much. Please, Your Excellency, save the lives of the people of Yanzhou."

Lin Yuan shook his head and asked back, "Master Zong, don't you want to do something?"

The two looked at each other, and the meaning was self-evident.

After a long time, Zong Ze showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "Please forgive me, Liang Shanhou, when I left the mountain, I really had to deal with it."

"When I was an official in the imperial court, I was just a civil servant. Liangshan is dominated by military generals, and there are many talents on the mountain..."

"So you left without saying goodbye?" Lin Yuan asked, staring at him.

Zong Ze is now nearly fifty years old, and in ancient times he was a proper old man.

Now being stared at by Lin Yuan, who is only in his 20s, he actually started to shrink back.

Seeing him dodging, Lin Yuan couldn't help but find it funny!

What Zong Ze said inside and outside the meaning is clearly a manifestation of underappreciated talent.

Lin Yuan stood up and walked to the door with his hands behind his back.

"I can understand Master Zong's words. In the past, Liangshan was indeed dominated by military generals. There is no way to do it. Back then, Liangshan was regarded as a den of bandits in the eyes of outsiders, and rebels in the eyes of the court. Everyone called for beating exist."

"So after I became the master of Liangshan, I had to recruit heroes from all over the world to protect one side's stability."

"But it's different now. Liangshan has become a paradise that the world yearns for."

"The boundary markers I set up at the beginning are now all under the jurisdiction of the capital of Shandong Province. Although the imperial court does not recognize it, the people recognize it."

"But now, I'm heading north, holding the banner of recovering the country. At this time, the imperial court can't recognize Liangshan. I even made a deal with Zhao Ji. As long as I attack the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, hereafter it will be It belongs to my domain."

"I, will soon be king!"

Zong Ze has been in the territory of Yanzhou, and the Liao Kingdom intends to block the exchanges between the two sides, so the news is naturally blocked.

Hearing this, he suddenly stood up: "Being king? Will the officials agree?"

Lin Yuan turned his head and smiled contemptuously: "So what if you don't agree? With my current strength, do I still need his consent?"

Zong Ze nodded in disbelief.

After this battle, no one in the world can hold Lin Yuan back.

Lin Yuan continued: "So, now I also face a problem, that is, there are enough generals under my command, but there are too few civil servants who can govern one side."

"It's okay to let them fight wars, but it seems that they are not capable enough to manage the people."

".~Moreover, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are riddled with holes, let alone let them manage them!"

Speaking of this, Lin Yuan looked at him with burning eyes: "Master Zong, I have said so much, do you understand what I mean?"

With a thump, Zong Ze knelt on the ground: "This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for your lord, and he will do whatever he wants."

Lin Yuan took a step forward, and helped him up with a smile: "Master Zong will have to worry about it in the future."

Scholar die for the confidant!

At this time, Zong Ze's eyes were red. He looked at Lin Yuan frantically, and said in a deep voice, "I have already left the court. Your Excellency can just call me by my first name."

Lin Yuan nodded, and changed the subject: "You said that the people in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are currently short of food. Is there a way to solve this problem?"

Zong Ze pondered for a while and said: "According to what I think, my lord should open a warehouse to provide food, and also call on all the gentry in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to participate."

"Otherwise, there will soon be starvation everywhere in Yanzhou City."

Lin Yuan's eyes were full of disappointment, this solution was not what he wanted to hear.

It is good that Liangshan now has millions of dans of food, but they are all strategic materials and are the guarantee of tens of thousands of Liangshan troops.

Moreover, the Liangshan army has a lot of food for training every day. If it is used to relieve the common people, once the soldiers' physical fitness and combat power drop by then, it is really picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

After Zong Ze saw Lin Yuan's expression from the corner of his eye, he quickly picked it up (good Zhao Zhao) and said, "Master, in fact, you don't need to pay much food, just [-] dan, and the rest will be brought out by the local gentry." Can."

Lin Yuan said thoughtfully, "Go on."

Zongze immediately said: "I have been in Yanzhou for nearly a year, and I have contacted many local gentry and gentry. Most of their wealth comes from the Liao people plundering the people. Just be scared."

"So, you don't have to be merciful when dealing with them."

"According to Chen's idea, you can send people to build some special granaries outside the city, which are empty inside and full on the top!"
