Ximenqing loves Wusong [Water Margin]

Panting, I went up to the tower, and I saw Erlang staring at the city gate with his arms around his shoulders. I rushed over and grabbed his arm: "Erlang, I heard that someone is coming to surround our Zhuangzi?"

Erlang wiped the sweat off his forehead for me, and said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry? Come and help me see, do you know everyone here?"

Stretching out his head to look under the city gate, he saw that there were all black heads. According to his visual inspection, there were nearly ten thousand people, men and women, old and young, those with cockroaches, those without cockroaches, and those with burdens on their backs. Of,? Driving a cart, riding a horse, leading a sheep, carrying a burden, carrying a child...

Damn,? There are also people carrying chickens and ducks on their backs.

Is he going to besiege the city and fight a war? Or is he going back to his natal family to visit relatives?

Someone below saw me and shouted loudly: "Master, Ximen official! We brought the family members you asked us to bring, and we also brought the family members you asked us to take as guarantor. Quickly open the city gate. Let us in."

It turns out that my guys are back!

Now I feel relieved, ? beat his palms and said: "Erlang, these are our own people, employees and family members of our Ximen Group, quickly open the city gate and let them in!"

Erlang waved his hand: "Open the door!"

A large number of people poured into Zhuangzi like a tide.

All the guys gathered around and knelt on the ground and bowed: "Thank you for the benefits you have given us, we brought the whole family to kowtow to you!"

Erlang looked at me with raised eyebrows: "Welfare?"

"Yes, Erlang, this is welfare. My employees behave well, so I have formulated a welfare housing and settlement system for them.

Now these new houses in the village are all built for them, and those old houses that have not been claimed can also be distributed to them.

In the future, more than half of the people in this village will be our own people!We are no longer afraid that the aborigines will reject us and refuse to cooperate with the task of conscription and food requisition. "

Erlang raised his eyebrows: "I really have you. But can your employees have so many family members?"

Before I could open my mouth, the clerk at the bottom hurriedly said: "Second Master, the shopkeeper gave us a condition, saying that we can let up to five families enter the Zhuangzi by one of us as a guarantee, and we will also allocate houses and land to them."

Erlang nodded: "No wonder there are so many people!"

I smiled and said, "That's right, you are Han Xin, the more soldiers you lead, the better."

Erlang raised his eyebrows: "Oh, there is also something about my barracks in your welfare?"

The guys rushed to speak: "Yes, yes, second master? Our family members must serve as soldiers, and we must serve! The shopkeeper has already said that if we want to live here for a long time, each household must send one person to serve as a soldier. If it is enough for two people, the land rent will be exempted for one year. If it is paid for more than two people, there will be a bonus!

Shopkeeper, let's call someone to sign up to be a soldier now, shall we?

To tell you the truth, I heard that the conditions you offered are so good that the relatives in our hometown are desperate to come. Some families almost fought for the places in our hands! "

I said: "No hurry, no hurry, our first task now is to resettle our people first. People from any household must live in a certain place, and the owner and his family must register for naturalization one by one. You security guards People have to sign and sign one by one."

Everyone nodded together: "Definitely, don't worry, senior officials, we are also careful in choosing people. If you don't know the basics, don't dare to call them over."

"Okay, let's do this first."

"Then let's thank the high officials and the second master. I wish you both great wealth and a long life!"

Those guys happily went down from the city tower, led their families and the farmers they introduced to get their houses and territories to register.

Erlang stood on the city wall holding my hand, looking at the few Zhuangzi who were deserted and deserted yesterday and suddenly became lively in a blink of an eye, his eyes became soft and soft: "Qing'er, why do you always have such ideas?"

I looked back at him: "Because of you, you are the inspiration to me."

He looked back at me: "Because of me?"

"Yes, it's because of you.

Because of you, so many good men came to our wedding.

Because of you, they brought their men and horses to vote in Liangshan.

They may not believe in Song Jiang, or Liang Shan's slogan of doing justice for the heavens, but they trust you.

Because I trust you, I am willing to bring all my wealth to develop together with you.

That's why I think that I can also take advantage of the trust of the employees and ask them to bring all their family members here, introduce good acquaintances and relatives, settle here together, and make this Zhuangzi better and stronger together. "

Erlang looked down at me: "Qing'er, am I really that good?"

"Tch, you are my man, how dare you be so nice?"

"Stinky boy." Erlang raised his hand and hugged me tightly in his arms.

Soon, the guys took each household into naturalization, and happily started their own lives.

Compared with the chaotic world outside, this place is simply a paradise. There is no government oppression, no various harsh and miscellaneous taxes, no need to buy a house by yourself, and the land rent is also cheap. As long as you work hard, you can live the most stable life.

So they plowed the fields, they bought property, they raised livestock and horses, they went up to the mountains to hunt, and they went into the water to fish.

They happily planned a better life in the future.

The originally deserted Zhuangzi became lively in an instant. Every day before dawn, you could hear the neighbors greeting each other and meeting to work in the fields together. Those barren farmlands were full of life in a blink of an eye.

Women from every household are busy, smoke can be seen from the roof of every house, and children are playing and running around all over the street.

Erlang's conscription office was even more lively.

Every day before dawn, people lined up outside the barracks waiting to register, not only because of those preferential policies, but also because of Erlang's reputation.

When everyone knew that this was the famous tiger-fighting hero, the crowd was boiling, and countless young people rushed into the barracks to sign up to join the army, vowing to follow this tiger-fighting hero on the battlefield and never leave.

According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly [-] households in Zhuangzi, and there are almost [-] soldiers in the barracks.

Song Jiang promised to Erlang before that great favor, the so-called commander of two thousand infantry is still nothing to him.

In a blink of an eye, the overall situation was settled. The walls of the original three Zhuangzi were dismantled and reconnected to form a new big Zhuangzi. Several large plaques of "Lijiazhuang", "Zhujiazhuang" and "Hujiazhuang" hung on the original city gates are all complete. Take it off and replace it with the new place names of the three Zhuangzi.

The sign hanging on Ximen is: "Ximen Village"

The sign hanging on the east gate is: "Wujiazhuang"

Hanging on the south is: "Ximen Wujia Village"

Hanging on the north side is: "Wudi Ximen Village"

On the surface, it looks like four place names, but when you walk inside, it is still a family. This is the effect I want, oh yeah!

In the evening, Erlang was exercising again, this time doing handstands.

I lay flat under his body and applied a mask with my eyes closed. He lowered his body and we kissed each other mouth to mouth.

I closed my eyes and settled the accounts: "Well, there are thousands of households in the village now, and tens of thousands of tannages of grain paid at the end of the year... Well... thousands of catties of game bacon, and more than 500 heads of livestock... Umm... There are nearly 6000 people in our barracks... Umm... So our food can be eaten until October next year, which is not bad... Umm..."

Wu Er stood on his head and supported me back: "According to me, we can't eat that much... um... why don't we send half of it to Liangshan... um... It's almost the Chinese New Year, and their food is probably not enough. Nervous... um..."

I opened my eyes and looked at him: "Why should we plan for them? When they ran against us, why didn't they say that they planned for us? Well..."

"Isn't this the same thing... Well, let's not do it, wait for me to come down and tell you."

Wu Er turned over and landed on his feet, and took a towel to the side to wipe off the hot sweat on his body.

Chocolate muscles all over the body, such as chest muscles, abdominal muscles, large strip muscles, back muscles, psoas muscles, biceps muscles are tense, and I can see my sphincter muscles start to twitch... Ah, I can’t get better right now , we have to talk about serious business.

I went to the side to wash my face: "We don't get these grains for nothing, they are earned by my employees and farmers with their own hard work, so why give them to others so easily?"

Wu Er wiped his body and said: "Qing'er, no matter what, we and Liangshan belong to the same family. They told us to stay in this village to guard, and they didn't say that they would kick us out. Now that we have benefited, we should give it to others." Some, we focus on the overall situation."

I stroked my chin and didn't speak for a long time. If it wasn't for Erlang's reminder, I would have forgotten those people on Liangshan. According to someone's shame, seeing that our life is so good now, he wouldn't just be thinking about food. It is his nature to take away the fruits of our victory directly.

Erlang leaned over and kissed me on the cheek again: "Well... what's wrong? I'm not happy."

I looked at my fingernails: "Actually, it's not that I'm unhappy. You're right. We should put the overall situation first, and we can't fight against others so early."

He blinked: "Separate so early... What do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing, nothing, I mean, if people from Liangshan come to ask for food, we can give it. But we can't give it easily, or they will come to ask for it if they want it in the future, and they will really use us as leeks. Just do it like this , if someone comes over, you leave this matter to me, and I will give them things, but I will say what I have to say."

Erlang smiled again: "Okay, Qing'er, I'll listen to you, come on, give me another kiss... Mmmm... Let's go to bed."

**

I really didn't expect people from Liangshan to come so soon.

Early the next morning, I was in the kitchen with fresh pork to make sausages for Erlang, when suddenly a soldier ran up to me and told me that General Hua was here, and he brought Song Taigong with him, and the second master asked me to go and accompany him.
