A direct immortal young master!
Actually, this nickname was not bad. Liu Cheng liked it very much. After all, he was a rather narcissistic person. As for those boorish barbarians, they had some foresight, some culture, and a hint of standard.
"Yes, I am." At this moment, Liu Cheng nodded with a smile.
" That's great. I've always wanted to meet the Di Immortal Young Master. This time, my wish has finally come true. Come, come, everyone, please come in…" The next moment, Ruan the Second clapped his hands in ecstasy and invited Liu Cheng and the others in with excitement and enthusiasm. Then, he asked Liu Cheng and the others to sit down while he ran out and called his two brothers back to meet the Di Immortal Young Master.
Just like that, after some discussion, the three Ruan brothers were finally subdued by Liu Cheng and trained the navy for him. Naturally, there were no boats that could go out to sea at the moment, so they could only use small boats to train soldiers on the water around Liangshan.
As for the navy's soldiers, they were all from the vicinity of Liangshan, especially from the village where Ruan the Second was. There were fishermen who knew how to swim. For the time being, there were 1,000 people and dozens of small boats. They could barely be considered to have built up the framework.
Then, after arranging the three Ruan brothers to train the navy for him.
Another half a month passed. On this day, Liu Cheng sent out 100 smart Blood Guards to set up offices in the 28 villages under Liang Mountain.
In fact, this office was just a name to deceive people. In reality, it was just a temporary yamen. It had the same functions as the village committee in the future. However, this village committee was not under the jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty. Instead, it was responsible to the Liangshan River and Liu Cheng.
As for the purpose of this office?
It was very simple. After a year, the harvest of the people's fields had to be paid to Liangshan. Therefore, these three levels of taxes naturally had to be collected by Liangshan itself. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to expect the people to pay taxes on their own.
After all, kindness could be forgotten. It was human nature that kindness was not as important as benefits.
Of course, collecting taxes was only one of the reasons. As mentioned above, this office was actually the village committee of the later generations. Therefore, they trained small officials to govern villages, and then trained small officials to govern small towns and county cities. Those who were talented could even be promoted to the prefect of a government. After all, before Xiao He became the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he was a small official in Pei County.
Who said that I have no talent?
To be honest, since ancient times, the people who truly faced the people were the small emissaries at the grassroots level, just like the village officials in the later generations. As for the mayor, county head, and chief, few ordinary people knew about them. They would not be able to meet them easily, right?
In short, a country's importance lay in the rural areas, and the implementation of national policies depended on the grassroots officials. If they did not cooperate and simply twisted it, no matter how good the policy was, it would become an evil policy that killed people without paying for it.
This was the so-called " there is a policy above, there is a countermeasure below."
Then, the 28 villages under Liangshan would be 28 experimental fields for cultivating talents.
Back to the main topic!
Liu Cheng started to place pieces in all directions with Liang Mountain as the center, secretly controlling the dozens of villages below Liang Mountain. After that, he had nothing to do in Liangshan, so he wanted to go down the mountain to recruit a few people before coming back. Otherwise, it would be too slow to cultivate them by himself.
However, in the Water Margins, from the perspective of future generations, few of the 108 heroes were good people, let alone heroes.
For example, Chong Lin on horseback and Wu Song on horseback. Chong Lin's character flaws were too obvious. It was fine not to mention them, as everyone knew. There was also Wu Song, who was originally brave and resourceful. Courage could defeat a tiger, and resourcefulness could take revenge. However, after taking revenge, he gave up on himself. Not only did he become sworn brothers with Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing, but he also became Shien's thug. He did not even let off the old, weak, women, and children. Therefore, he was a good man in the early stages, but he could not be called a good man in the later stages.
Therefore, if the two of them voluntarily voted, Liu Cheng would accept them. If they didn't come, it didn't matter. He wouldn't go looking for them. After all, he did not lack martial strength. This was because he had trained his own army with medicinal pills. Any soldier he let out would be a second-rate expert in the martial arts world.
In this world, the experts in the martial world were not divided into different categories. They were usually called first-class, second-class, third-class, and unranked. Therefore, under the training of Liu Cheng with a large number of Blood and Qi Pills, there were more than thirty first-class experts, more than three thousand second-class experts, and about a thousand third-class experts.
Eh, what do you mean by not all of them are first-rate experts?
He had no choice. The same rice can feed a hundred kinds of people. The difference in individual talent and physique would make a huge difference even if they took the same pill.
Moreover, the above were still considered good. There were also some young and strong people who had also been nurtured by the Blood and Qi Pill, but they still had not cultivated internal energy. Who was he going to tell?
By the way, Liu Cheng's Blood Guards could all fight against first-class masters and win. Therefore, he was not really interested in Jianghu heroes. Even masters like Lin Chong and Wu Song did not have a strong desire, unless the other party was Zhao Yun.
However, just because he wasn't passionate about martial arts experts didn't mean that he didn't like some special talents.
In other words, there were three outstanding heroes on the Yinma River, which was surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers. They were worthy of Liu Cheng's personal visit to invite them into the mountain. They were the boss, Iron Face Kong Mu Pei Xuan, Deng Fei, and Meng Kang. Zhu Gui had spent a lot of time and finally found the location of Yinma Chuan according to the names and places Liu Cheng had mentioned.
Although the three of them were not very skilled in martial arts, they were still very powerful. However, they were indeed three loyal men, especially the eldest, Iron Face Kong Mu Pei Xuan. He was born in the Six Case Kong Mu family and had excellent knife and pen skills. He was also loyal, upright, and smart. He was unwilling to let things slide. Therefore, such a person was a good official and a talent that every lord liked. He was also a special talent that Liangshan urgently lacked.
One had to know that Liangshan lacked civil officials. There was no one who knew the law, so with him joining, not only would they get a virtuous official, but they could also train more officials for Liangshan. This was the most important point.
In particular, Pei Xuan was not a power-hungry person. In the original novel, Dai Zong casually helped Chao Gai and Song Jiang, and he took Deng Fei and Meng Kang, as well as all his family's assets, to Liangshan. Then, he dutifully became a military and political department that had no real power and only maintained justice on the surface.
