Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 107

...

Let's say that Yang Zhi left Huangnigang, traveled southward for a day and a half, and came to a country hotel.

Yang Zhi thought: "If you don't eat something, the Sa family will starve to death here before they reach Liangshanbo."

Yang Zhi gritted his teeth, entered the hotel, and sat down at a random table.

Leaning the knife aside, Yang Zhi said to a woman next to the stove, "Take two cents of wine to eat first, and then some rice and beef. After eating, I will pay you back."

The woman's hands and feet are nimble, and a young young man helped him, and after a short while, she served Yang Zhi with wine, meat and rice.

Yang Zhi, who had been hungry for a whole day and night, cleared the table in a short while, then picked up the simple knife and walked out.

The woman yelled: "Guest's drink bill is still pending!"

Old Yang Zhi's face turned purple, and he said: "Let me put you on credit, and I will come to pay you back for the drink in the future."

As soon as the young man heard this, he quit, rushed out and grabbed Yang Zhi!
Yang Zhi left in a hurry, knocking the young man to the ground!

Just then, a man rushed out dragging a white ash pole.

Seeing that Yang Zhi had knocked down the young man, the man raised his stick and rushed towards Yang Zhi!
Ever since he lost his birthday card yesterday, Yang Zhi has been simmering with evil fire in his heart, worrying that he has nowhere to vent it, now that someone is begging for beating, how can Yang Zhi control it?
Yang Zhi immediately fought this man with the plain knife in his hand!
The sword came and went, and the two fought more than twenty times in a row.

The man is gradually exhausted, and gradually he only has the power to fight back, but has no power to fight back.

Just when the younger generation called out many people, the man suddenly jumped out of the circle and said, "Don't do anything!" Then he looked at Yang Zhi and said, "Leave a name for the good man."

Yang Zhidao: "Sajia does not change its name and sits without changing its surname. The blue-faced beast Yang Zhi is the Sajia."

The man was surprised and said: "Could it be the envoy Yang Zhi of the Tokyo Palace?"

Yang Zhidao: "Do you know Sajia?"

The man threw down the white wax pole and said: "The villain has eyes but can't see Mount Tai. The villain's surname is Cao Mingzheng. He has been a butcher for generations. The villain also kills good animals. He picks tendons and bones, strips and pushes bones. That's why he is called a beast." 'Sword-wielding ghost', the villain was originally from the Kaifeng prefecture in Tokyo, Lin Chong, the instructor of the 80 Imperial Army, is the master of the villain."

Yang Zhi was surprised and said: "It turns out that you are the apprentice of Teacher Lin, and the Sa family is not an outsider to you. A few months ago, I passed by Liangshanbo, and I was valued by brother Li Yan. I stayed in Liangshanbo for a while, and I had a lot of discussions with your teacher. , You are a good teacher of martial arts, I am not as good as him."

Cao Zhengdao: "The envoy and the tutor are good friends? Then it must be Elder Cao Zheng."

Yang Zhi said: "Hey~ Let's talk about our own things, just call them brothers... How come you come here to open a hotel?"

"Hey!"

Cao Zheng sighed, and then said: "It's hard to say... A local rich man invested [-] yuan to let the villain come here to do business. He didn't want to lose his money and couldn't return home, so he married this farmer's family here. That woman is The villain's wife, this young man will be the villain's wife and uncle." Cao Zheng said again: "Why is the envoy here?"

Yang Zhi also sighed, and told Cao Zheng that he had lost his birthday card.

After hearing this, Cao Zheng said: "In this case, the envoy will stay in the villain's house for a few days."

Yang Zhidao: "Thank you brother for your kindness. Brother Li Yan loves me the most, and the hero in his cottage has a lot of friendship with me. I am going to vote for him."

Cao Zhengdao: "I often hear people say that Supreme Treasure stands up for righteousness and gives up cover, and only does chivalrous things for the heavens. I wish I could accompany you, and my teacher is the leader there... the envoy, how about we discuss it? "

Yang Zhi asked, "What's the matter?"

Cao Zhengdao: "How about the envoy lead my family to vote in Liangshanpo?"

Do you know why?

It turned out that Cao Zheng was also a good man with ambitions everywhere, and he didn't want to hang out in a country hotel all day long to wear away his heroism!

Yang Zhizheng was worried that he didn't go to Shuibo Liangshan, how could he not?

The two hit it off.

Stayed with Yang Zhi overnight.

The next day, Cao Zheng's family set off with Yang Zhi to plunge into Liangshan...

……

Qingzhou.

Qingfeng Town.

This town is located at the intersection of three forks in Qingzhou, leading to Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain, and Taohua Mountain. These three places are haunted by strongmen and grass bandits, so a Qingfeng Village is specially set up in Qingfeng Town.

On this day, a group of people came to Qingfeng Town.

The leader is a young man with extraordinary bearing, with a young woman on the left and right, surrounded by six or seven heroes and more than [-] envoys.

This group was exactly Li Yan, Chen Liqing, Li Shishi, Ruan Xiaoqi, Ma Ling, Wang Dingliu, Kong Hou, Meng Kang, Huangfuduan, Ling Zhen and more than [-] envoys who came back from Jeju Island.

The biggest problem in Jeju Island is not sowing but immigration, and even if it is sowing, Li Yan, who doesn't know the grains, can't help.

Therefore, after convincing Sun Jing and letting Sun Jing recommend herself, Li Yan formally appointed: Wang Lun as the prefect of Jeju Island, Sun Jing as the co-prefect of Jeju Island, Qiu Xian as the general judge of Jeju Island, and Lu Zhishen as the military governor of Jeju Island (under the jurisdiction of Lu Zhishen Two of his subordinates are infantry troops, and Shi Bao's subordinates are all horse troops), and Li Jishen promoted officials for Jeju Island.

The local official system Li Yan used in Jeju Island was mainly the official system of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, because Li Yan felt that the official system of the Song Dynasty was too complicated, and the bureaucracy was redundant (this was deliberately done by the emperors of the Song Dynasty to favor the literati and suppress them. Generals, and then to prevent military generals from rebelling), the modern official system is not suitable for use in ancient times, and the Ming and Qing official systems should be the most reasonable among the ancient official systems. Yes, it should be more advanced.

Of course, this is just Li Yan's personal opinion. Whether it is true or not, we have to slowly observe and improve it in the future.

After staying in Jeju Island for more than half a month, I helped Wang Lun and others break down their respective functions, and told them to properly handle Jin Fuzhe and Li Jishen's visit to Jeju Island. Li Yan took Chen Liqing, Li Shishi, Ruan Xiaoqi, Ma Ling, Wang Dingliu, Sun Hou, Mengkang, Huangfuduan, Ling Zhen, Shan Shiqi and Shan Shiqi are all Ma Jun, Deng Fei and Deng Fei are both infantry, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaowu Xiaowu's water camp is back.

It stands to reason that Li Yan should not have brought back the water battalion of Shanshi Qidu, Deng Feidu, and Ruan Xiaowu. There are more than 300 Tamna people and more than 1 Korean people (the rest of the Korean people were all beheaded during the public trial), and there are too few people in the waters of Liangshan.

But Li Yan really has no choice. There are too few troops in Shuibo Liangshan. If the water camps of Shanshi Qidu, Deng Feidu, and Ruan Xiaowu are left on Jeju Island, then Li Yan may be connected with the escorts. I can't even make it out-you know, from now on, the fleet of Shuibo Liangshan will have to run all the time on the route from Shuibo Liangshan to Jeju Island. .

Therefore, Li Yan could only tell Lu Zhishen and Shi Bao, who were staying on Jeju Island, to be more careful and pass the most difficult initial stage.

When he came back, Li Yan went to Chengkou Salt Field to have a look.

Thanks to the efforts of Li Jun and others, the salt field has been built, and salt drying has begun. I believe that Liangshan salt will sweep the private salt market in a short time.

When passing Qingzhou back and forth from Chengkou, Li Yan remembered that there was a hero he liked very much here, so he temporarily stopped the boat and brought people to Qingfeng Town...
