Lin Chong arranged a dozen brothers from his personal guard camp to cooperate with the officials in Li Gefei's mansion to purchase properties, shops and houses around the West Lake. He himself led several personal guards and returned to Liangshanpo Villa through the transmission function of the space-time router system.

The construction of Liangshanpo is in full swing. Under the leadership of the military strategist Zhu Wu, each project is progressing in an orderly manner.

During this period, Song Wan, the King Kong in the Clouds, Du Qian, the Golden Retriever Duan Jingzhu, Wang Lun, the White-clothed Scholar, Zhang Qing, the Vegetable Gardener, Sun Erniang, the She-Devil, and others came to Liangshanpo for refuge. Knowing well that Wang Lun was jealous of talented people and that Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang had committed many evil deeds, Lin Chong only selectively accepted Song Wan, Du Qian, and Duan Jingzhu and made them small leaders. Naturally, their treatment was far inferior to that of Shi Qian, the seven Ruan brothers and others.

At this time, Liangshanpo's accumulated wealth was truly rich enough to rival a country because of the dramatic increase in Japan's gold and silver production and the surge in sales of Liangshan's snowflake refined salt. The wealth of the entire Song Dynasty was far less than the income of Liangshanpo, so Lin Chong simply looked down on the small amount of money of tens of thousands of strings of cash from the birthday gift.

At the same time, Chao Gai, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, was lured by Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong to gather some idle people, and used tricks to defeat Green-faced Beast Yang Zhi and the entourage sent by Liang Zhongshu, and robbed hundreds of thousands of wealth from the birthday gift. Except for a small part that was given to the poor, most of the money was hidden in secret places.

You should know that the amount of money Liang Zhongshu gave to his father-in-law Cai Jing as a birthday gift was very astonishing. After listening to the analysis of Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong, Chao Gai could not resist such a great temptation. Last year, Liang Zhongshu, as the governor of Beijing Damingfu, collected 100,000 strings of gold and pearls as a birthday gift for his father-in-law Cai Jing in the capital, but it was robbed. This year, Liang Zhongshu actually collected another 100,000 strings of gold and pearls and sent them to the capital as a birthday gift for Grand Tutor Cai Jing.

One guan is equivalent to one tael of silver, one tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand yuan in modern times, and 100,000 guan is equivalent to one hundred million yuan. This amount is indeed amazing, and the temptation is too great. Although Chao Gai's ancestors were wealthy families in the county and the village, he was generous and generous on weekdays, and his daily expenses were very high. Naturally, he was moved by such a huge sum of money. So Chao Gai was willing to risk his life and give it a try. After he succeeded, he would have enough money to support his expenses for the rest of his life!

Chao Gai was a man of generous character. He liked to make friends in the world, was daring and responsible, and would stand up when faced with injustice. He was very loyal and sincere to his friends, but he was too impatient and could not handle things calmly and steadily.

Chao Gai himself did not have any business to run or stable income or revenue. His wealth was mainly accumulated by his ancestors and the income from his family's land, which was also very meager. So Chao Gai was living off his wealth. He spent all his time practicing guns and sticks and making friends.

Chao Gai was very casual in making friends. As long as they came to him for help, they would stay in his farm, and he would provide them with food, lodging and expenses. Those who left would also be given money for their journey. He was very generous and generous. Most of the people Chao Gai made friends with were people from the underworld, and many of them cheated for food and drink. Chao Gai often kept people from the underworld, which inevitably led to certain risks of being involved in crimes. In order to avoid such dangers, Chao Gai became good friends with Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, who were in charge of public security in Yuncheng County, and Song Jiang, the first bailiff of the county government. With the support of Song Jiang and others, Chao Gai became a head of the village with an official background. Of course, the necessary "filial piety" and "protection fees" were also indispensable.
