    Just because Liu Dalang didn't recognize this strong man, it doesn't mean that Li Yan didn't recognize him either.

    As the nominal second master and de facto master of the newly established branch village of Shamenzhai under Liang Shanbo, no one knows the actual situation on these islands better than Li Yan.  Even Xu Jing is no exception, although this old Jiedushi is the head of Shamen Village appointed by Zhengerba through the village.

    If Li Yan's current situation is a bit embarrassing, it can be regarded as saving him face.  The situation has completely collapsed, and almost everyone agrees that the number one guy in the world has lost his golden body on this kid and made a mistake.

    Of course, Wang Lun¡¯s "example" of knowing people is too brilliant and too terrifying.  After all, finding out such mistakes once or twice will only make the brothers feel like they are breathing a sigh of relief. Now my brother is acting like a normal person!  Think about it, if you pick up a random person and Wang Lun takes a look at it, you can definitely determine that person's future. This magical skill is like opening the eyes of the sky, and sometimes even people like Wen Huanzhang are far away from worshiping ghosts and gods.  All the well-educated people in the world couldn't help but doubt that the legend of Tiangang Disha created by Wu Yongcould it be that it wasn't all nonsense!  ?

    Then again, everyone will treat the boss's occasional mistakes with tolerance or even "love to see it", but when it comes to Li Yan, people will unconsciously become strict, "This life will not be successful", "It's just relying on connections"  Statements such as " have gradually become a consensus among the village leaders.

    ¡°After all, when others conquer cities and territories, he also conquers cities and territories. They can conquer everything, and the whole Jingdong is like a flat trip.  It happened that he defeated Qingzhou, which was in ruins. After struggling for a long time, he couldn't defeat it. Instead, he hooked up with Zhu Gui's insiders lurking in the city. How could he have the shadow of a famous general?  If someone hadn't been protecting him, and someone else had made Zhu Gui suffer such a big loss, you can see if he would have been better off.

    that's all.  Carrying the reputation of a mediocre general, Li Yao went to Salmon Island.  Liangshan decided to merge Erlongshan and Qingyunshan into one village to form a new archipelago management organization, Shamenzhai.  Li Yan was transferred to the second position in Xinzhai without any surprises, and finally captured two generals from Qingzhou alive.  I can more or less explain the past.

    "However, after the order was issued, Xu Jing's attitude towards Li Yan was quite intriguing.  Since the old Jiedu came to the island, except for the old department of Qingyun Mountain, he has basically not asked about or expressed his position on other matters. It seems to be a bit of a hands-off boss. Everything has been left to this man who has been tortured by public opinion recently.  The second boss.

    If it is in a relatively closed environment.  The first boss "cultivates" the second boss behind closed doors, and his own family won't say much.  The key is that now on the archipelago, there are too many people in foreign organizations and non-organized units.  With so many "outsiders", Xu Jing's abnormal behavior will inevitably cause controversy.  But for some unknown reason, Lao Jiedu not only ignored the gossip, but even further reduced the number of appearances.  Then there was a rumor that the old Jiedushi was repaying the favor of Li Yan's uncle Li Zhu.

    Li Yan wants to laugh when he hears this statement now. If you ask Xu Jing if he means to return the favor, yes.  Of course!  But it would be too naive to simply regard this arrangement as just to return a favor!

    You must know that there is only one person qualified to be Liang Shanbo¡¯s hands-off shopkeeper.  That is uncle Wang Lun.  If others want to hide in peace, be careful that the military court will punish you with a crime of neglect of duty, and then let you live in peace forever.  A father like Xu Jing who wants to fight for a few more years to obtain more political resources for his son's future development obviously has to get someone's consent before he dares to do this "blatantly". It is exactly what he wants in his heart.  Things to do.

    ?That is, this person, from the very beginning, did not put any extra pressure on him.  Even though public opinion in the copycat community was generally unfavorable to him later, no one ever said anything negative about him.  Instead, there are many subtle arrangements.  Let Li Yan gradually realize that that person not only treats him as a nephew.  He clearly had other expectations for himself.  This is a lord's ardent expectation for his subordinates. It is much more troublesome and laborious than raising a dandy in captivity.

    In the past, I didn¡¯t even think that shouting ¡°uncle, uncle¡± actually avoided a lot of troubles unconsciously.  But now, Li Yan understands that since he met this uncle, he has already gained all the advantages. If he lies at home and enjoys the benefits of this advantage, no one will say anything about him.

    ¡°But if he has to choose to perform on the same stage as others, then I¡¯m sorry, you have to work much harder than others to have the slightest possibility to prove that you are not a mediocre person.

    There are so many roads in the world, but some people just like to take the difficult road, and Li Yan is one of them.  When he found that he couldn't be a captive dandy, he began to mature, began to learn to speak less and be more careful, and began to learn to read more and listen more.

    "Brother Li, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it! It makes sense, and I will report it to you."?Leader Reference!  "

    The calmness displayed by Li Yan at this time gave people a calmness that was inconsistent with his actual age.  When the strong man saw this, his heart moved slightly. Just when he was about to speak, he was suddenly reminded by Huang Kui beside him: "Feibao, don't talk nonsense!"

    After all, he was the one who recommended him. Li Feibao cast a grateful look at Huang Kui and nodded forcefully to reassure him. When Huang Kui saw this, helplessness was written on his face, and he heard Li Feibao say to Li Yan,  "May I ask Leader Li, how many people are there in our Jingdong area now?"

    Li Yan is not a native of Shandong, and his hometown is thousands of miles away from here. At this time, he did not answer the question in a hurry, but turned to look at the surrendered generals at the scene.  It is a pity that although these warriors are officials in various governments in Jingdong, they have nothing to do with civil affairs. How can we know the specific population of the whole road?

    But being urged by Li Yan's eyes, some people said based on their feelings: "Five million!" When the number came out, someone else said: "Eight million at least!", and later someone said it was 10 million.  , just when everyone was squabbling around with no clue, they heard a calm voice saying: "One million, three hundred and forty-three thousand five hundred and eighty-eight households!" (from Song Dynasty Volume 85, Chapter 30  eight)

    As soon as this number came out, the whole place was completely silent. Everyone was stunned by this odd and complete household registration number.  Looking at the person who spoke again, it turned out to be Huang An from Jeju.  It suddenly dawned on everyone that the Huang family could be considered a wealthy family on Jingdong Road. It was not unusual for the Huang family's children to know their homeland, so no one doubted it at the moment.  At this time, Huang An continued:

    "This number is a statistics made just two years after the official ascended the throne. It has been more than ten years ago. If we calculate the average of six people in a household, the total number of Jingdong East Road and West Jingdong Road was  There are no less than eight million people. Now that more than ten years have passed, I estimate that the population is about 1,000, including the new population, runaway households, black households, and tenants from Hebei, Huainan and Gyeonggi who are attracted by the excellent environment of Jingdong.  Around 10,000!¡± (Again, the population statistics of the Song Dynasty did not include women, so Jianghu could only estimate the actual population at that time using the number of household registrations recorded in history books)

    This Huang An is really a decent person!  Li Yan clapped his hands and his eyes fell on Li Feibao again, wanting to see what medicine he was selling in his gourd.  But Li Feibao nodded and said: "I am convinced by Huang Tuanlian's statement. Let's just say that we have a population of tens of millions in Jingdong, and there are 26.7 million people who followed the leaders to the island, which is equivalent to four days.  One stop!¡±

    Liu Dalang, Wu Hu and others were confused and didn't know what Li Feibao wanted to express. However, they were happy to hear him list the data and prove that there were many people following Liangshan Island. After all, they were all rebels.  Leaders, among the more than two million people, they also have a share of credit.

    "After four stops, it's obvious that Liang Shanbo is very popular among the leaders. But what I want to say is that Liang Shanbo's advantage of 'people and people' in Jingdong has been offset by more than half with the departure of this stop. What's left is  Even though their hearts are still toward Liangshan, they are more afraid of the imperial court and more attached to their homeland. The foundation for Liangshanbo¡¯s survival has been completely lost with the departure of more than two million people who firmly believe in Liangshan!¡±

    Everyone was refreshed by this different perspective. They only heard Xue Tianxing, the former general manager of Yizhou's army and horses, say: "As the art of war goes, the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people. It turns out that Liangshanpo is in the east of Jingdong against the imperial court. It can be said that he has all the power.  But the key is that the people who have followed Liangshan wholeheartedly have already gone to the island. If we want to counterattack Jingdong, our biggest advantage, Renhe, may never be used again!"

    "More than useless? Nowadays, the people of Jingdong are simply a burden to the cottage! If there is one more person, you have to take care of one person! If you have one more city, you have to take care of one city! It's easy to say that it's easy to take care of one person for one meal, but the difficult thing is to take care of three people.  , five months. We spent a lot of effort in Jingdong this time, and we were able to remove three to four million stones of food and grass. Now it seems that there is not enough food for the people on the island, although we can't take it away!  All the food and grass are distributed to the people everywhere, but I am from the army and I know their tricks. I don¡¯t believe that the court can leave this food and grass to us to grab it!  "They have an extra city, what are you going to do with it? Eating is no better than anything else. If you can't fill their stomachs, people will die!" Kou Jianxi, the chief military officer of Xiqing Mansion, warned.  .

    "Once people starve to death, or on a large scale, the reputation that leader Bo King of Liangshan has accumulated over the years will be completely ruined!" Li Feibao's eyes were bright, with a hint of warning, and he looked straight at Li Yan and said: "  If Liangshan loses its reputation, it will be like a big insect without its claws. Therefore, I am not optimistic about the army's counterattack on Jingdong!" (To be continued.)
