Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Greetings, Chieftain!"

"Chief! Happy New Year!"

"Chief, try these flower-shaped steamed buns, they're fresh out of the oven!"

……

Although the New Year hasn't arrived yet, the year-end is just around the corner, and all parts of Liangshan are making preparations for the New Year.

The people living on the mountain all had smiles on their faces.

For every family that came to Liangshan, they had a home.

Tao Zongwang's engineering team has had almost no free time in the past year or two, as they not only have to build defensive fortifications for the mountain stronghold, but also take charge of the construction of houses for the people.

Of course, it's impossible to build mansions, but there will definitely be enough large bungalows.

The valleys and relatively flat areas behind Liangshan Mountain are now the dwellings of the local people.

In addition to housing, Liangshan also helped the people open up land on several hilltops, build terraced fields, and grow grain.

The people's demands are actually not high; having their own place to live and a piece of land is enough.

Of course, Ren Yuan cannot distribute land to all the people at the moment. This is due to the geographical location of Liangshan. Although the entire Liangshan Marsh is quite large, the land area is not much, and it is mostly mountainous. Therefore, he can only develop a portion of it first.

As for the increasing number of people who will come up the mountain in the future, he decided to allocate the land of Jeju and Kyushu to them. Those two large islands are sparsely populated, flat, and fertile.

For ordinary people, wherever they have a piece of land of their own, that's home!

Ren Yuan and his Liangshan strategist group were visiting the area where people gathered on the back mountain to see if any families were having difficulties celebrating the New Year.

Well, the final result of the visit was quite pleasing, because now, almost every family in Liangshan has earned enough food and money from the mountain stronghold through their own labor, and they can even buy new clothes.

Many families even managed to save some extra money.

This was unimaginable before!

Therefore, they were very grateful to Ren Yuan and the other Liangshan leaders!

Without Liangshan, most of them would not have had such a comfortable life during the New Year!

Without Liangshan, they wouldn't be where they are today!

Ren Yuan and his companions were surrounded by the people along the way. The people were so warm and welcoming, and everyone's smiles were genuine. This moved Ren Yuan and his companions deeply.

"Brother, the people are still very simple and honest."

Wen Huanzhang was deeply moved. Ren Yuan had always emphasized that Liangshan should treat the people well and gain their support in order to make Liangshan last longer.

In retrospect, Ren Yuan's approach was indeed quite correct.

"The people are like water; water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Most of our Liangshan brothers come from the common people. Remember, we must not forget our roots."

"Although we can't take care of all the people in the world right now, we must take care of everyone who comes to Liangshan. We can't leave anyone behind."

Ren Yuan earnestly told the strategists that Liangshan now has many military generals but few civil officials, and all policies basically have to be implemented by the strategists, so their attitude is very important.

"If our brother has such aspirations, we will risk our lives to help him realize his dream!"

"If all the people in the world could be like this, then that would be a true era of peace and prosperity!"

The strategist group led by Wen Huanzhang was deeply moved after hearing this, and they all bowed to Ren Yuan.

"You're too kind. Everyone needs to live well so that we can see a better future!"

Ren Yuan returned the salute to his military advisors and then continued to lead them on their inspection tour.

"Everyone, don't forget to line up at the village in a few days to get your meat! Every household will get meat this year! Everyone line up to get yours!"

After completing his inspection, before leaving the area where the people had gathered, Ren Yuan reminded them not to forget to collect their meat.

We seized so much stuff in Jiangzhou that using some of it to buy meat is perfectly fine.

Upon hearing this, the people praised and blessed Ren Yuan even more.

"Thank you, Village Chief!"

"May the chieftain be blessed with boundless good fortune!"

"The chieftain is truly a great philanthropist!"

"Chief! You must get up early to get married!"

……

Hmm, something seems to have gotten mixed in with these words of blessing?

"Ahem, brother, the people are right, you really should consider it."

Xiao Jiahui coughed lightly and said to Ren Yuan.

"No rush, I'm still young."

Ren Yuan waved his hand, after all, he was a time traveler and had no concept of getting married too early.

“Brother, this matter doesn’t really have much to do with how young you are. The main thing is that you need to have an heir.”

Gongsun Sheng also came up and spoke.

“That’s right, brother. Tian Hu and Fang La already have sons. You can’t fall behind.”

Qiao Daoqing also said.

"No, aren't you guys thinking a little too soon?"

Ren Yuan was taken aback, then realized what was happening.

Well, are you guys worried that I'll die prematurely?

“I know what you mean, but now is not the time. Liangshan is still very weak, and it is not time to consider that.”

"How about this, I promise you, if we conquer Jeju and Kyushu, I will get married immediately, okay?"

"Okay, you said it yourself, so don't make excuses later."

Xiao Jiahui clapped his hands and immediately made the decision.

"But brother, besides Miss Huayun, shouldn't you consider a few others? Look, I think Miss Shishi or Third Sister in the capital are also quite good..."

"Mr. Wen, could we arrange a marriage for Xiao Jiahui first, and have someone keep an eye on him?"

Ren Yuan ignored Xiao Jiasui, this big clown, and directly used the same trick against him, saying to Wen Huanzhang.

“What my brother said is true. If there is a suitable candidate, then we should take care of this for him first.”

Wen Huanzhang was also pleased. Xiao Jiasui was the strategist he thought the most was. In fact, Wen Huanzhang treated Xiao Jiasui almost like a son.

"Hey, hey, you can't do this! Weren't you talking about your brother? Why are you suddenly talking about me? Brother, that's not fair!"

"Didn't you start that? You're asking for it!"

Xiao Jiasui joked and laughed with Ren Yuan. To be honest, among so many people in the strategist's office, although everyone had a good relationship with Ren Yuan, Xiao Jiasui was the only one who dared to joke around with him so unrestrainedly.

……

"Old man, did you bring your grandson to join Liangshan?"

Meanwhile, on the other side of Liangshan, Zhou Tong and Yue Fei, disguised as ordinary people, arrived at the foot of a mountain where Liangshan soldiers were receiving them.

"Well, I lost my son many years ago and have no fixed abode. I heard that Liangshan is a great place in the martial arts world, so my grandson and I came here specifically to seek refuge."

"Then you've come to the right place. Liangshan is getting better and better now. Don't worry, after you come up the mountain, your situation will be taken special care of by our stronghold. Don't worry, your grandson will also receive excellent care. The chief said that no elderly person will be left without care."

When the soldiers who received them heard that the old man had lost his son and only had his grandson, their faces showed sympathy, but they immediately became even more hospitable to them.

"Will every elderly person receive care?"

Zhou Tong was somewhat incredulous.

"Of course, our chieftain is a man of his word and will never let the people of the village down. You can rest assured. If your grandson wants to learn to read, our chief strategist, Mr. Wen, has opened a literacy school. He can go and attend classes there for free."

"Take this certificate first, and wait over there. Our navy will come by boat to pick you up and take you up the mountain in a little while."

Because there were so many people coming to the mountain, the junior officer didn't talk to Zhou Tong much. He warmly led him to the waiting area and then went back to work.

“Master, my senior brother didn’t do anything wrong. Look, so many people came willingly. When you see him later, you mustn’t punish him.”

After the junior officer left, Yue Fei whispered to Zhou Tong.

"You're still too young; there are many things you don't understand yet."

Zhou Tong gently rubbed Yue Fei's head.

He knew, of course, that his apprentice was indeed very kind to the people.

However, Liangshan is still within the territory of the Song Dynasty, and if things continue like this...

Third brother, have you thought about what you're going to do in the future?
