Speaking of which, just as Zhu Fu and the others brought back a beautiful and brave wife for Liu Cheng.
On the other side.
After leaving Cangzhou, Liu Cheng and his group arrived at Dongguang County. There, he saved two people. One was Bian Xiang, and the other was Tang Long.
"Young Master is the Lord of Liangshan, the Di Immortal Young Master who carried out justice on behalf of the heavens. It's a pleasure to meet you.”At this moment, Bian Xiang and Tang Long were both excited when they found out that the person who saved their lives was Liu Cheng. Then, they bowed deeply in joy.
After a pause, Bian Xiang said,""I've long heard of the great name of the Immortal Young Master. Not only did he enforce justice for the people, but he also helped the people in distress in Jianghu. It's a pity that I'm not fated to meet you. It's really satisfying to meet you today.”
The reason why Water Lake Liangshan and Liu Cheng's reputation was so good in Jianghu was because of publicity. On the other hand, Zhu Fu and Zhu Gui were born in Jianghu. They had indeed helped some people in Jianghu. As such, the news spread like wildfire. Although people did not know how to pay back money, it was easy to give Liu Cheng a good reputation of helping the poor and helping the poor.
Everyone carried the palanquin.
It's nothing more than that. We've made a name for you, so we can spend the money righteously.
In short, this was another kind of commercial bragging.
It was also a move to win people's hearts.
"Brother Tang Long, my Liang Mountain Lake is still lacking a person who can supervise the manufacture of armaments and armor. I wonder if brother is willing to lower yourself to my Liang Mountain?”After everyone spouted some meaningless nonsense, Liu Cheng looked at the golden leopard Tang Long in front of him and directly revealed his intention to recruit him.
"That's right, Brother Tang Long. When will you be able to make a name for yourself here? "Why don't you follow us to Mount Liangshan? At that time, you won't be afraid of the heavens. You won't have to worry about the lawsuit. You can also display your talent. Isn't that good?"”When Zhu Gui saw Liu Cheng take the initiative to extend an olive branch to Tang Long, he immediately understood. This person in front of him should be a talent that his lord needed, so he also opened his mouth to persuade him.
"Thanks to Young Master's persistence, I'm willing to bring my brothers into Liangshan and acknowledge Young Master as my master.”Actually, there was no need for Zhu Gui to persuade him. Tang Long had already thought of following him after he knew that the person in front of him was Liu Cheng. Therefore, when he heard Liu Cheng's recruitment, he immediately knelt on the ground and acknowledged Liu Cheng as his master.
"Good, good, good. From today onwards, our Liang Mountain army will be free of worries.”Liu Cheng immediately laughed happily after receiving the loyalty of Tang Long and the others.
Just because his soldiers were all internal energy experts, he could conquer the world. One had to know that no matter how good one's kung fu was, one would still be afraid of a kitchen knife, especially when ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time. The momentum was absolutely terrifying and unbelievable. After all, not everyone was Godless and cultivated the Indestructible Golden Body, so they were not afraid of knives, spears, and rain of fire. Therefore, the equipment of the Liangshan Army had always been trash.
A few thousand people were not even enough to give each of them a weapon, let alone armor.
However, with Tang Long, the last weakness of the Liang Mountain Army was filled.
"Right, Brother Tang Long, do you have any familiar craftsmen, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, cobblers, stonemasons, etc.? I want them all. Especially boatmen, the more the merrier.”Liu Cheng's expression suddenly changed as he thought of something. His eyes were filled with anticipation as he asked.
"Young Master, you're asking the right person. My Tang family's ancestors made a living by forging military equipment, so I have acquaintances in both the Military Equipment Supervisor and the Military Equipment Institute.”Upon hearing Liu Cheng's words, Tang Long said confidently.
Liu Cheng said in surprise," That's great. I wonder if Brother Tang Long can hire some craftsmen from these two places. Don't worry, I'll treat them well and won't mistreat them."”
"To tell you the truth, there are some craftsmen in our Liang Mountain, but it's impossible for them to forge a qualified sword. Therefore, our Liang Mountain needs craftsmen too much, especially those who are skilled and can forge armaments.”
"How about this, if brother can recruit fifty craftsmen to forge armaments for me, I will count one merit for brother. If you can recruit a hundred people, I will count one merit for brother. If you can recruit a few hundred people for me, then you will be the person who has the most merit in Liangshan, and you will naturally be rewarded heavily.”He said with a serious expression.
It showed how much he valued this matter.
Tang Long, who was worried that he would not be able to establish himself on Mount Liang, heard Liu Cheng's words. His eyes immediately lit up and he immediately said," Please rest assured, Young Master. The craftsmen in the Military Weaponry Bureau and the Capital Military Weaponry Institute are suffering every day. Not only do they not get enough money to support their families, but those officials and eunuchs don't treat them as humans at all. Therefore, they are basically living in an abyss of suffering. They don't want to stay there for a long time. As long as Young Master promises to treat these craftsmen well, I'm not sure if I can make the first contribution, but I'm confident that I can make two or three contributions.”
"You can rest assured about this. I guarantee that everyone will be satisfied with the treatment of the craftsmen. How about this? I'll give you the bottom line first. When the time comes, you can tell them that every craftsman who joins my Liangshan will receive a settlement allowance of ten strings of coins. Then, they will receive at least five strings of coins a month. At that time, I will set up a rule in Liangshan that the more you work, the more you get. We will produce armaments in an assembly line manner to ensure that their monthly income will not be less than five strings.”
"Of course, the most important thing is that these craftsmen will be led by you, brother. They will form a military department that will only be responsible to me. They will give me money and people.”Liu Cheng said solemnly.
Although Tang Long did not know what the assembly line production method was, he could still hear the importance Liu Cheng placed on this matter and his urgency.
In particular, he was asked to lead all the craftsmen to form a new department that would only be responsible for Liu Cheng. This was a great favor to him, so he immediately shed tears of gratitude. He had the urge to die for his confidant.
Thinking of this, he said excitedly,"Please rest assured, young master. I will definitely earn more craftsmen for you.”
"Alright, alright." Liu Cheng was overjoyed, but he asked in confusion,"As far as I know, the status of a craftsman in the Great Song should be pretty good. What Military Equipment Bureau and the craftsmen of the Great Military Equipment Institute, and they are treated so badly?”
