Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Do you know what to say when you go to Daming Prefecture?"

Ren Yuan asked the yamen runner.

"Deng Long of Erlong Mountain is brutal and audacious. He went down the mountain to rob prison carts and stole two of them. We fought back bravely and fought against him. During the fight, a prisoner in the other cart was accidentally shot and killed. We dared not make decisions on our own, so we brought his body over as well."

The head constable reacted quickly and immediately said something new.

"Hmm, you're not bad, I have high hopes for you."

Ren Yuan patted the leading constable on the shoulder, saying, "He's indeed a promising young man."

Inside the prison van, Bai Sheng had an arrow in his throat, his eyes wide open.

That was the arrow shot by Yang Zhi. Just now, when Bai Sheng made his threatening words, Yang Zhi decisively picked up the bows and arrows of the surrounding soldiers and ended Bai Sheng's suffering with one arrow.

Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian didn't hurt Yang Zhi much, but Yang Zhi harbored a lot of resentment towards Bai Sheng, the wine seller.

This arrow can be considered a way of venting my anger for the person who carried out the birthday tribute!

"Alright, that's all done. Let's go back to the mountain."

After finishing this last matter, Ren Yuan didn't linger and turned to leave with his men.

The constables, following the agreed-upon explanation, hurried towards Daming Prefecture.

……

Time flies in the mountains, especially in those quiet days when nothing much happens; life is particularly wonderful in Liangshan.

Ren Yuan's daily work consisted of handling political affairs, practicing martial arts, patrolling the mountains, and occasionally taking a stroll with Hua Yun.

Given that Liangshan has abundant water, mountains, and fruit trees, Ren Yuan, in addition to developing aquaculture and fruit tree planting, also tried to open up some terraced fields for the people to cultivate.

Anyway, this 800-li waterway is divided into 70% water and 30% land, and with so many hills, clearing out one or two hills to make farmland shouldn't be a big problem.

"If we can build these ships sooner, we'll have no trouble finding land after we take over Jeju Island and Kyushu Island."

Ren Yuan's thoughts are always on the seagoing vessel, and the shipping company is also working hard. With the timber provided by Chai Jin and the navy, the shipping company can start construction as soon as the blueprints are completely completed!

Meanwhile, all the leaders of Liangshan were working in an orderly manner at their posts. Thanks to Wen Huanzhang's literacy classes, even Mi Sheng, who was ranked last in his class, could now recognize several hundred characters.

Well, he's still last place because he doesn't write much.

Chen Da, being in the same boat, is firmly second to last.

Interestingly, Mi Sheng thought that with Shan Shiqi's arrival, he and Chen Da would have a partner. He didn't expect that Shan Shiqi was actually from a wealthy family. After attending Wen Huanzhang's class, Shan Shiqi's grades were actually above average!

This really saddened Mi Sheng. What a joke! In the end, he was the only idiot left! What happened to being a good brother?!

Brother Chen Da is still the best! He's always been there for me!

In addition, there was another good thing about Liangshan: Ren Yuan, through his unremitting efforts and the joint research of a group of craftsmen, finally managed to produce glass that could be mass-produced.

This was another large sum of money for the mountain stronghold's finances. Ren Yuan immediately gave all the craftsmen extra pay. The craftsmen had come up the mountain longing for the peaceful life there, so they were naturally very grateful.

Of course, the first choice for this business was to do it with Chai Jin. Ren Yuan knew that with Chai Jin's experience, he was also amazed when he first saw a large number of glass products!

This business deal is incredibly profitable!

In fact, Ren Yuan had another trump card he hadn't used yet: salt. However, Ren Yuan didn't plan to do the smuggled salt business with Chai Jin. He couldn't put all his eggs in one basket. Chai Jin only needed to handle the three big orders: wine, soap, and glass.

It's easier to work with others when it comes to private salt production.

Oh, Pinghai Navy also has orders for glass. Pinghai Navy has quite a few merchants. Doing glass business with them and making money from other countries at high prices is a very good thing.

In any case, Jiang Jing, the chief steward of money and provisions at Liangshan, is not currently troubled by money.

Don't ask for the exact amount; the answer is that it's not only enough, but there's even more to go.

Before they knew it, more than a month had passed, and the so-called "Number One Outlaw Conference in the World" that Tian Hu had mentioned was getting closer and closer.

"Tian Hu really knows how to pick his time. It's the dead of winter, with snowflakes falling. This will definitely reduce the fighting capacity of the cavalry."

Ren Yuan looked at the heavy snow falling from the sky and felt utterly helpless.

Tian Hu, that conspicuous bag, wasn't actually that stupid this time.

How long is it from Huguan to here?

"If things go smoothly, it will take seven or eight days."

Xiao Jiahui also changed into thick clothes and then waved a feather fan.

"Old Xiao, why are you fanning yourself in the dead of winter?"

“Brother, you don’t understand. What I’m waving isn’t a fan, it’s integrity.”

Xiao Jiahui is also the kind of person who doesn't fuss over details, so he quickly became familiar with Ren Yuan. Even though he hasn't been on the mountain for very long, the way he speaks now is exactly like Shi Qian.

Ren Yuan glanced at the pretentious Xiao Jiasui and shook his head helplessly.

You probably just got nothing from shaking the stunt!

"By the way, are Wang Qing and Fang La going?"

Ren Yuan asked Xiao Jiasui.

"They're cunning too, they haven't made any statement yet, they seem to want to wait for us, but Fang La has to make a decision ahead of time because of the long distance, so they're going."

Hsiao Chia-hui responded immediately.

"Haha, I knew it, Fang Shisan, he can't stand being alone."

Ren Yuan laughed loudly. "The Manichaeism of Jiangnan, oh no, I guess after this conference they will announce to the whole world that they are called the Ming Cult."

Fang La, that charlatan, probably came to talk to Tian Hu, that fool, just to protect the reputation of his Ming Cult.

"It is said that this time, Fang La brought many of his Manichaean leaders with him, including eight important leaders: Li Tianrun, Si Xingfang, Lü Shinang, Bao Daoyi, Zheng Biao, Du Wei, Liu Yun, and Li Tianyou. The accompanying troops number about four thousand."

"Fang Shisan has a trick up his sleeve; he didn't bring any of his own people."

Ren Yuan smiled. "There's not a single one with the surname Fang, and you've even hidden Fang Jie away. Do you think I don't know what you're up to, Fang La?"

"However, the people he brought out are indeed quite capable, especially that Li Tianrun, whose kung fu is not bad."

Xiao Jiasui thought about the intelligence he had seen. Fang La was indeed a rather difficult opponent, but fortunately, he was currently in the south and could not affect Liangshan.

"What about Wang Qing?"

Ren Yuan asked.

"Wang Qing was particularly eager, almost ready to agree immediately. However, it is said that he was persuaded by his chief strategist, Li Zhu, and only decided to set off after Fang La made his move."

"This time, he was accompanied by famous leaders including Liu Min, the three heroes of Mulan, Du Xue, Feng Tai, and Wei He, as well as the two Teng brothers. Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu, stayed behind to guard the Fangshan base camp."

"Well, it seems like almost everyone who can fight has come."

Ren Yuan grinned. Sure enough, Wang Qing brought Boss Du out.

According to General Huyan Bao, the combat strength of Song Dynasty generals can be roughly divided into third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, half-step top-rate, and top-rate.

Du Xue, the leader of Wang Qing's army, is one of the three most outstanding military generals in the Song Dynasty's outlaw world.

However, Ren Yuan was not afraid. As far as he knew, Sun An and Bian Xiang had been at the half-step peak realm for a long time, and were only a hair's breadth away from the peak. Who knew that one day they might reach the peak while taking a piss, eating a meal, or taking a nap.

My senior brother Lin Chong has already reached the half-step peak realm, and Master Lu and I have just stepped into the half-peak peak realm. There are also first-class top-tier people like Yuan Lang, Shi Bao, and Mi Sheng, who can break through to the half-step peak realm as soon as they have the opportunity.

And don't forget, there's also Senior Brother Wang Jin on the mountain. Once he can get back into the fray, he's guaranteed to be at least a half-step master!

With this calculation, Ren Yuan felt more confident. "With so many capable fighters on my side, why should I be afraid of you, Wang Qing?"

If all else fails, I'll ask my second senior brother to come out of seclusion!

"Let's go! Let's get ready. I want to see how Tian Hu, that conspicuous guy, will open this number one bandit gathering in the world!"
