Chapter 175 Liangshan is so poor that only money is left

Seeing that Li Qingzhao was grimacing in unbearable pain, Lin Chong used hypnosis again to put Li Qingzhao into a deep hypnosis. Li Qingzhao quickly fell asleep and no longer felt the severe pain from the wound. It seemed that the anesthetic effect of hypnosis was indeed unmatched in the current world.

Seeing more and more people gathering spontaneously, Lin Chong was worried that the leopard would wake up and hurt people, so he quickly shot the leopard to death, and released the red fox after it was hypnotized. The red fox woke up from its confusion and anxiety, then bowed to Lin Chong several times in a very spiritual manner and left quickly.

While the peddlers were still some distance away from him, Lin Chong quickly put the corpses of the two leopards into the storage space of the space-time router system. He then picked up Li Qingzhao and quickly returned to the Qingbo Gate pavilion through the transmission function of the space-time router system. He then arranged for two brothers from the Royal Guard Camp to go to the Longjing Tea Garden to retrieve the horses, and asked them to ask around and look for houses, shops, and properties around the West Lake that anyone was interested in selling. You must know that the current Liangshan has become so poor that it only has silver and money left since it occupied the gold and silver mines in the Ryukyu Islands (including the Honshu archipelago) and developed the extremely rich gold and silver mines in the Ryukyu Islands. Except for gold and silver, it lacks everything else.

Lin Chong also hopes to open a silk fabric factory in Liangshan so as to recruit more female workers and solve the current dilemma of more men than women and more bachelors in Liangshan. He also wants to sell the best teas in Jiangnan and the "Snowflake Salt" produced by Liangshan through Huangfu Duan's horse trafficking team to all places along the way, as well as the grasslands and border areas.

He also arranged personnel to collect various mining resources and mines near Liangshan, especially to secretly smelt iron and create a variety of cold and hot weapons.

Lin Chong knew very well that in the original Water Margin, the deepest reason why Song Jiang chose the path of amnesty was that Liangshanpo's backward economic development and management model, and lack of stamina for development and survival, were the most fundamental reasons for the serious survival (economic) crisis hidden in Liangshanpo.

This crisis combined with Song Jiang's ideas of loyalty and righteousness ultimately led to Liangshanpo's inevitable fate of being recruited!

In the original Water Margin, the original scale of Liangshan Lake was extremely limited. When Wang Lun started the business, there were only "three heroes and seven or eight hundred minions". Later, after Chao Gai, Song Jiang and others went up the mountain, the scale of the mountain stronghold continued to grow and expand.

However, the management method of Liangshanpo did not keep pace with the times as its scale expanded: although it annexed many hilltops and captured some cities, it simply pulled people up the mountain and left the matter to fate; the heroes' lifestyle was extremely unrestrained, "drinking in big bowls, eating big chunks of meat", "using big scales to divide gold and small scales to divide silver", and they lived an extremely free, comfortable and casual life with mountains of meat and seas of wine every day.

In addition to the huge number of minions and some of the heroes' "military families" that need to be supported, the indispensable military expenses, all of these resulted in Liangshan's financial expenditure being quite astonishing.

However, the heroes of Liangshan Lake basically did not engage in production. At best, they just hunted some game and fish and shrimp in Liangshan. The Dongshan, Nanshan, Xishan and Beishan hotels run by Zhu Gui, Sun Erniang and others were mainly responsible for the task of "gathering information and receiving guests", and their fundamental purpose was not to make a profit.

It is precisely because Lin Chong knows the shortcomings of Liangshan's development that he has to do his best to expand various industries through his own efforts in order to seek to change the overall economic development of Liangshan.
