The Bandits Have No Surplus Food!
F * ck!
Chen Ye was dumbfounded!
He thought to himself that he should just end this Wang Lun with one slash. He didn't expect that this Wang Lun was so spineless. He directly knelt down? You want me to be the leader of Liangshan?
Your sister!
However, when Chen Ye saw Wang Lun's eyes and saw the hint of unwillingness in them, he hardened his heart. This fellow was narrow-minded. At this moment, it might not be his plan to retreat in order to advance. Keeping him alive would definitely cause future trouble. It was better to kill him!
However, Wang Lun was faster than Chen Ye. He directly kowtowed and said,"Please spare my life, Chief!"
"Song Wan, Du Qian, quickly plead for me!”
"Brother, please spare Chief Wang's life!" Song Wan and Du Qian said together.”
This time, Chen Ye couldn't use his knife anymore.
At this moment, the crowd had already erupted into a tsunami of cheers.
"Greetings, Chief!"
"From now on, I will obey the orders of the Chief!”
"I'm willing to risk my life for you, brother. I'll do anything!”
……
Du Qian, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui had also prostrated themselves.
"I'm willing to hold the whip for my brother!"
……
"From now on, we will share happiness and hardship with our brothers!" Chen Ye also said loudly.”
"We will definitely let our brothers live a good life!”
……
Chen Ye had ascended to the throne of Liangshan's Great Master, so his position would definitely be adjusted.
Logically speaking, Wang Lun was ranked second, Du Qian third, Song Wan fourth, and Zhu Gui fifth.
Chen Ye had no objections to this ranking.
Although Wang Lun was ranked second and still seemed to be in a high position, as long as Chen Ye restricted Wang Lun's authority, Wang Lun would not be able to cause any trouble. And to be safe, Chen Ye called Zhu Gui over.
"Brother Zhu, send someone to monitor Wang Lun. I want to know his every move.”
"Chief Wang shouldn't have second thoughts, right?" Zhu Gui said in surprise.”
Chen Ye said," You must be wary of others. I think Wang Lun is retreating in order to advance today. Moreover, he is narrow-minded. He is jealous of virtuous people when he gains power. If he loses power, there might be chaos in the dark. It's better to be more cautious."”
"Chief is right." "I'll just send someone to monitor him." Zhu Gui immediately agreed.”
……
That night, Liangshan Lake was bustling with activity.
Chen Ye had become the leader of the group, and as usual, it was lively. The many brothers of Liangshan, except for the necessary sentries, all gathered together. The torches were lit, and the lights were bright. The banquet had already begun. Everyone was in high spirits, as if it was the new year. Everyone's faces were filled with joy.
However, after Chen Ye looked around for a while, he discovered something strange.
Firstly, the size of the tables where everyone ate together was about the same, but the amount of food placed on them was very different. The more important the table was, the more chicken, duck, fish, and meat were placed on it. The fragrance of wine was overflowing, while the more distant the table was, the only food placed on the table was some steamed buns.
Secondly, there weren't enough tables. Many people didn't sit at their seats. Instead, they squatted at the side.
"Chief Du, what's going on?”
Chen Ye asked Du Qian.
Du Qian's face was slightly red." Chief, the village is short of food."”
"These days, there aren't many merchants passing by Liangshan, so there isn't much income.”
"Under normal circumstances, the brothers who follow down the mountain to rob and plunder can only eat two dry meals a day. The others can only eat some porridge. Eating porridge won't cause them to starve to death. It's fine. The only thing that's troubling is that some of them bring their families.”
"Family members usually take care of their own family. Of course, the village will also give those brothers more food, but not much.”
When Du Qian said this, Chen Ye immediately understood.
Although the Liangshan brothers called themselves heroes, they were actually bandits.
How did bandits make a living?
Robbery, robbery!
Therefore, there was naturally a way to distribute the food.
Amongst them, the leaders, big and small, would definitely be given priority.
The second was the fresh troops. At the very least, they had to eat half their fill so that they would have the strength to do things.
The last ones were the old, weak, sick, and disabled, as well as their families.
They could not bring direct economic benefits to Liangshan, so in terms of distribution, they had to decide according to the amount of harvest. This period of time was the off-season of Liangshan, so they could only starve!
Chen Ye chatted with Du Qian for a while more. He knew that this distribution method was not unique to Liangshan. It was almost universal in Greenwood. In fact, it was not only the bandits, but many families and workshops also used this distribution method.
Too many people were going to starve!
Chen Ye expressed his understanding, but he didn't want to follow this method.
If he couldn't feed everyone, how could he be called the chief?
Moreover, not only did he want to be full, but he also wanted to eat well!
Just as he was thinking about this, he turned his head and saw someone.
Liu Er!
This was the young man he had saved from the stake.
Liu Er was sitting at a table near the edge. There was a plate in front of him, and he kept putting food on it. However, he couldn't bear to eat it. He called a sallow and skinny child and a woman to eat.
Seeing this, Chen Ye knew what Liu Er was thinking.
According to the rules of the village, he obviously wanted to give his share to his children and wife to eat more. It seemed that during his illness, he did not contribute much to the village, and the village did not give him much. His life was quite hard.
However, Liu Er was not greedy. The food he took was flatbread, pickles, and the like. The chicken, duck, and fish on the table were not touched.
Chen Ye stood up and walked to his side, smiling," Liu Er, the plate is so full..." Chen Ye originally wanted to say that with the plate so full, how could there be any other nutritious meat?
However, when Liu Eryi turned his head and saw that it was Chen Ye, his face instantly turned pale.
He knelt down and kowtowed three times until blood oozed out of his forehead.
"Chief, I, I, I'm not greedy.”
"I really had no other choice. The child and my wife followed me up the mountain. They haven't eaten their fill for a long time, so I took a little more. I wanted them to eat…"
"Chief, I admit my mistake. I'm willing to be punished by military law!”
As he spoke, he pulled the child beside him and made him kneel down as well.
The child looked like he was five or six years old, but his face was yellow and his body was shriveled. He was wolfing down a sesame seed cake. At this moment, he was so scared that tears flowed down. He wanted to cry but could only hold it in.
Quite a few people around him were a little angry.
"Liu Er, have you forgotten that your life was saved by Chief? At Chief's celebration banquet, you actually didn't even follow the rules.”
"Liu Er, I treated you like a brother, but you've disgraced me!”
"Liu Er, even if we starve to death, we can't break the chief's rules! Don't you have any backbone left!"
……
Liu Er's face turned red when he heard that. He was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to bang his head against the wall immediately.
However, just as he was about to make a move, Chen Ye stopped him and picked up his plate. Chen Ye picked up quite a bit of the flatbread on it and gave it to Du Qian, Song Wan, Zhu Gui, and the other leaders who had followed him. He also took a flatbread.
Then, he placed some chicken drumsticks and roast goose on Liu Er's plate.
"I'm saying, don't eat all the flour and sesame seed cakes. You should also eat some meat to give your child and wife a taste of meat."”
While Liu Er was in a daze, Chen Ye looked around. He had a lot of prestige. Wherever his gaze landed, everyone immediately fell silent. The gathering of more than a thousand people suddenly became extremely quiet. Only the night breeze rustled the leaves.
Chen Ye said to Du Qian," Go and get more tables. Today, everyone is to eat at the table. Ask the kitchen to prepare more food, especially all kinds of meat. If it's not enough, kill pigs and sheep. Today, I want everyone to be full!”
"Yes, sir!" Du Qian accepted the order.
After giving his instructions, Chen Ye walked back to his seat and looked at everyone.
"From today onwards, everyone will have three meals a day!"”
"Listen carefully. I'm talking about everyone, including your family!”
"Since everyone has come to Liangshan, they are my brothers. As brothers, we will share blessings and difficulties together!”
"If I can eat my fill, so can everyone else!”
