I just want to make money

Chapter 190
It was almost noon, Lin Yi woke up from a good night's sleep, washed up briefly, put on neat clothes, had lunch at the restaurant under the inn, checked out and rode on a big green horse to set off.

From the county town to the lake for twenty or thirty miles, Lin Yi was not in a hurry and walked slowly.

And in Liangshan,

Last night, Wang Lun wanted to kill Lin Yi, and he felt a throbbing pain in his heart. He knelt down and begged for mercy before he recovered. Before, he was not sure whether Lin Yi was a fairy, but now he has no doubts. If he is not a fairy, how could he? Such means.

Now, he was even more afraid of Lin Yi.

When I got up in the morning, I called all the people in the cottage, "Brothers, I received a letter a few days ago. A close person of mine is going to cast a mountain. Today is the day he comes. Brothers, follow me to Zhugui's hotel to welcome my friend." brother."

"Brother, haven't I heard you mention it before?" Song Wan asked.

"The letter has been here for a long time, but I forgot to tell you that my brother is very skilled in martial arts and has many skills. Joining the cottage this time will make our cottage stronger. Let's go, arrange for us to set off. "Wang Lun said.

Du Qian and Song Wan knew that Wang Lun seldom went down the mountain, and they were afraid of being ambushed by the government, so they actually went to pick up the person this time, which shows that they attach great importance to the visitor.

Two boats carrying dozens of people across the lake came to Zhu Gui's hotel. Zhu Gui saw that his eldest brother was coming, so he hurried over to greet him.

"Big brother, second brother and third brother, why are you here today, but what's the big deal?" Zhu Gui asked in surprise.

"Pick one of my brothers up the mountain to join the group." Wang Lun said the matter again.

Zhu Gui was also surprised. The newcomer went up the mountain to join the group. The head of the family asked someone to inform him, and he would take people there to meet the leaders. Now the big leader brought the other two leaders down the mountain to pick up the people, which can be said to be the highest courtesy.

I don't know who that person is, what kind of ability he has, and several people are looking forward to it.

Did not come in the morning.

At noon, I had a meal at Zhugui Restaurant.

Continue to wait in the afternoon.

Waiting until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, a minion came running from a distance, "The head of the family and several heads of the family, news came from the top of the mountain that a man came on horseback. He was a tall, burly, well-dressed man."

As soon as Wang Lun heard it, he thought that it was probably the fairy from last night.

Immediately stood up, and tidied up his clothes, causing several other people to stand up too, becoming more and more curious about the person coming.

About a stick of incense time passed.

Lin Yi came near the hotel on horseback, and saw a group of people standing at the door from a distance, performing a full set of plays, Lin Yi hurriedly dismounted, pretending to be surprised and hurried forward, "Brother Wang Lun, we finally meet again today."

"Safety."

Wang Lun grabbed Lin Yi's arms with both hands, looking surprised and affectionate after a long absence.

When Du Qian, Song Wan and Zhu Gui saw Lin Yi for the first time, they felt that this man had a good appearance, a burly figure, and a handsome appearance. He was a rare great man.

Everyone stepped forward.

"Ping An, let me introduce you to the brother on the mountain. This is brother Du Qian. He sits in the second place on the mountain. He is known as touching the sky and is good at using big swords. This is brother Song Wan. He sits in the third place on the mountain. He is called Yunli. King Kong, who is good at wielding a big iron stick, this is brother Zhu Gui, who sits fourth on the mountain, known as Hulu Hulu, who is good at using the three-section stick, and is also a master of bows and arrows."

After introducing the three people in the cottage, he introduced Lin Yi to them, but he was afraid of making a mistake, so he said in his heart, "This is my close brother Lin Zhengdao, known as Ping An Lang, from now on you can call him Lin Ping An."

"Too many not to introduce, let's have a drink on the mountain and talk in detail, to celebrate the addition of newcomers to my cottage."

The big green horse is placed in the hotel, so of course there are staff to take care of it.

Everyone boarded the boat, this time Zhu Gui also went back to Liangshan, and sailed for half an hour to return to Liangshanzhai. This time, he entered from the main gate. Wang Lun introduced several gates to Lin Yi along the way.

Liangshan occupies a huge area, the front mountain and the back cliff, and the back cliff is also the route that Lin Yi came up last night. Ordinary people can't climb it at all, so they rarely take precautions, and the front road is at several easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack places, and they have set up gates No matter whether it is officers and soldiers or other bandits and water bandits who want to attack Liang Shanzhai and break through these passes, they will have to pay a huge price.

This is also one of the reasons why Shuibo Liangshan was able to develop later. Compared with other bandit cottages, Shuibo Liangshan's geographical location is too superior.

Outside, there is a large lake that stretches for hundreds of miles as a barrier. The place on the mountain is not small, and it can easily accommodate tens of thousands of people. The water park is connected to several surrounding counties.

Everyone came to the gathering hall,
A dozen or so small chiefs were also summoned, and when the names were introduced, Lin Yi wrote down their names one by one.

Sit down and chat.

Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui asked about Lin Yi's background, and Lin Yi had already made up the words to respond. He only said that he had an old relationship with Wang Lun.

Wang Lun sat in the main seat with a smile on his face and didn't interrupt much, because he didn't know what Lin Yi would say, so as not to miss it.

"Brother Lin, what kind of martial arts have you learned, can you show us?" Du Qian said with a smile.

"Of course there is no problem. Why don't I go outside and have fun so that my brothers can comment on it." Lin Yi said proudly.

Song Wan had a straightforward temper, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's boring to play alone. Why don't you practice a few tricks with a few brothers, so that the younger ones can experience it."

Wang Lun looked at Song Wan, and thought that he had the skills of ghosts and gods. With your little ability, I'm afraid you can't do three moves and two moves under his hands.

Several masters sparred, and the soldiers also heard the news and gathered together. Three to five hundred people gathered in the martial arts field at once, and it was very lively.

Song Wan went up first.

Holding a white ash stick in his hand, he said, "Brother, I usually use a large iron stick, but today we brothers can't use it for sparring, so as not to hurt you, so use a wooden stick."

"Since my brother uses a stick, I will also use a stick to fight my brother." Lin Yi also took a thick white wax stick from the weapon rack.

The two stood still in the field.

"Brother, look forward to seeing me coming!"

Song Wan said, brandishing a big stick and hitting Lin Yi.

Lin Yi shook his big stick, and the tip of the stick swung towards Song Wan's wooden stick like a whip. With a bang, Song Wan's forward body was thrown back violently, and he felt numb in both hands, and the wooden stick in his hand was numb. I can't catch it.

Great strength~!

I am far from being an opponent.

This was Song Wan's first reaction.

This time it was Lin Yi's turn,
Lin Yi slashed down fiercely, and the wooden stick made a whining sound. Song Wan quickly raised the stick to block, and there was another loud bang, and everyone saw Song Wan kick back several steps before standing still.

Song Wan's hands trembled.

He looked at Lin Yi in amazement, "Brother Ping An, you are so strong. In the cottage, I have never lost to anyone in terms of strength. I didn't expect that I was far behind you today."

Lin Yi put away the wooden stick, and said with a smile: "I am born with supernatural power, but there is also a reason for using the stick's strength technique, which can make the strength more powerful. When I have time in the future, Ping An will discuss the method of using the stick with my brother. "

Song Wan was overjoyed.

What Lin Yi said was to teach him how to use a stick.

In ancient times, it was very difficult to learn martial arts. Even if you were formally apprenticed to a teacher, you would have to follow for many years to learn part of it. Learning from friends is an important means to improve martial arts. Lin Yi is much higher than him, so he said it was just a lesson. , Song Wan took advantage the most, so he was naturally happy and grateful.

The young people around cheered.

Next is Du Qian.

Du Qian was good at using knives. The two of them each took a wooden knife for training and fought in the field. The two fought back and forth, but Du Qian found that his real level was probably much worse than that of Lin Pingan. I can't even hug other people's clothes, and Lin Ping'an's knife has been intentionally withdrawn many times.

In fact, at Lin Yi's current level, he could defeat Du Qian with a single blow at most, but on the one hand, he wanted to fight more people to increase his actual combat experience, and on the other hand, he wanted to save him some face.

"Don't fight anymore, brother Lin is very capable, and I, Du Qian, are far from being my opponent." Du Qian is also a straightforward man, if he can't do it, he will just admit defeat.

As for Zhu Gui, his martial arts are already worse than Du Qian and Song Wan. He smiled at Lin Yi and said, "Brother Lin, I know I'm no match for you, so I won't make a fool of myself. I don't know how Brother Lin is at archery. You still have two hands, why don't we shoot arrows?"

"Okay." Lin Yi agreed.

fifty paces away,

Place three archery targets.

Zhu Gui holds a painting magpie bow, breathes three times and shoots an arrow, each arrow is right in the heart, immediately attracting applause from the surroundings.

It was Lin Yi's turn.

Lin Yi took a random bow, tested the feel, hung up a pot of arrows, glanced at the three targets, and suddenly moved.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~!"

The sound of arrows can be heard endlessly in the arena.

People saw the arrows flying together, and Lin Yi shot the effect of an arrow formation by himself, and he kept changing positions.

Look at the target again.

The three butts were filled with arrows, yet they all shot at the red heart. After a pot of arrows was shot, people realized that Lin Yi shot twenty arrows in less time than Zhu Gui, and the arrows were red hearts.

"Okay~!"

Liangshan minions applauded loudly.

A group of men who robbed houses.

It is natural to admire and recognize the strong man with superior force.

Zhu Gui knew that he was too far away from Lin Yi, so he also shouted hello together.

After the martial arts performance was over, everyone returned to the Juyi Hall. At this time, the food and drink had been set up, and they were formally greeted. Congratulations to Lin Yi for joining the group.

After three bowls of wine.

Wang Lun said: "Brothers, I intend to let Ping Anlang take the fifth position. Do you have any opinions?"

"I agree." Du Qian said.

"I have no objection. Brother Ping'an is very welcome to go up the mountain." Song Wan shouted loudly. He liked this brother Ping'an who was stronger than him.

"Naturally, I also agree. With Brother Ping'an joining us, our Shuibo Liangshan's strength will definitely increase greatly." Zhu Gui said.

The matter was officially passed, and Lin Yi became the fifth leader of Shuibo Liangshan from then on.

Next is drinking.

Lin Yi already has a good capacity for alcohol, and his physique has been strengthened. The alcohol content in this world is low, and Lin Yi is very unrestrained. Whether it is Du Qian, Song Wan, Zhu Gui, or the little bosses below, he will not refuse anyone. to a bowl to dry.

Now the atmosphere is more enthusiastic.

They drank until the wee hours of the morning, and Lin Yi used to lay down many guys, and were carried back by his subordinates.

Lin Yi was also slightly drunk.

Arranged a room and slept in the past.

Wang Lun didn't dare to murder him, and everyone else now regards him as a brother. Now Lin Yi is very relieved, and he slept soundly this time.

the next morning,

Lin Yi got up early habitually.

Get dressed and come out.

The mist of the great lake in the distance was transpiring, and the distant river bank could not be seen at all.

The people in the cottage are still sleeping. Lin Yixin said that the current lax discipline in the cottage has a lot to do with Wang Lun's poor management. He has already formulated a plan for rectification and improvement of Shuibo Liangshan in his heart, and he will tell Wang Lun to hurry up and improve.

Lin Yi was practicing martial arts in the training ground.

Not long after, Song Wan came, still holding his big iron stick, and was very happy to see Lin Yi, "Fifth brother, you promised to teach me the stick technique."

"no problem."

Lin Yi replaced it with a wooden stick, and the two practiced while fighting in the arena. Lin Yi would explain any problems at any time.

In fact, the so-called martial arts is nothing more than a comprehensive reaction of strength, speed, reaction, and endurance. The purpose of exercising moves is to let you turn them into instincts. When you see the enemy's moves attacking you, it is too late for you to think about how to react. , the natural response is the fastest.

When Lin Yi uttered this theory, Song Wan was shocked when he heard it, "This is the true meaning of martial arts. If you don't tell me, I won't be able to understand it for the rest of my life."

When two people practice against each other, there will be countless variables, and the improvement will be faster.

After a while, Du Qian and Zhu Gui also came, and Lin Yi fought with them again. All three of them were out of breath from Lin Yi's practice, but Lin Yi felt comfortable all over.

When the three of them gasped,
Lin Yi came to them, pointed to the cottage and said, "The brothers can see that there are many problems in our cottage."

"What's the problem?" Several people asked.

"Discipline is lax. My brothers drink at night and don't get up to exercise in the morning. If things go on like this, what kind of combat effectiveness will they have?"

Several people nodded, it was indeed a problem.

"The development of the cottage is too slow and there is no future plan. We are here, don't we only think about three meals a day? That's a waste of time."

"What do you want brother to do?" Du Qian asked.

"One must have ideals in life. Since we have become bandits and water bandits, we must be the biggest bandits and water bandits in the world. As long as other people hear the name of our water park Liangshan, they will respect and be afraid."

When several people thought about that scene, they all felt blood rolling in their bodies.

"It is not enough to live in a cottage just by robbing houses and homes. It is not a long-term solution. If there are too many robberies, fewer and fewer people will leave, and it will be even more difficult to do business in the future. In the future, there may be more and more people in the cottage, and there must be a fixed income, otherwise It can't support so many people." Lin Yi said.

"Does fishing count?" Zhu Gui asked.

"Of course not." Lin Yi shook his head.

"But we don't know how to manage it either." Song Wan frowned.

"Think about our advantages, there is no place to make money." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Advantages, what advantages do we have?" Several people didn't know why.

Lin Yi didn't make a fool of himself, and said: "This eight hundred li water park connects three prefectures and fifteen counties, and is also connected to the waterway for water transportation. There are many ships that come and go for business. In the past, when we were doing business, we would snatch people and boats together. , Let those people lose their money, they will naturally become more and more afraid, avoiding us, and even hire fleet guards to increase the difficulty of our robbery."

"We can change it to save trouble and receive money. Those passing ships are also willing to do multiple things."

It's okay to let them fight, it's really not a strong point to use their brains.

"How can there be such a good way?" Song Wan asked with a frown.

"Since Lao Wu asked, he must have thought of it. Lao Wu might as well tell us." Zhu Gui said.

"Pay toll!"

"Release the news to the outside world, saying that in the future, all ships passing by Shuibo Liangshan will be safe as long as they pay the toll. Not only Shuibo Liangshan will not move them, but if they encounter other bandits and robbers, they can also ask us for help. Help them solve their problems." Lin Yi said.

Several people were very surprised.

"Fifth, do you think we can earn more by doing this than by robbing?" Du Qian asked.

"I'm sure it's much more than robbery." Lin Yi was full of confidence.
