Liangshan did not produce, nor did it have its own production base, and all the money and grain were stolen.
Before zhao'an, there were about 60,000-70,000 people in Liangshan, but the main people who could really "eat meat in large pieces and drink in large bowls" were the 108 good men.
Those little minions on Liangshan definitely did not have this treatment, and it was very good that they could eat enough.
Liangshan's money and grain were all robbed, and Wang Lun and Chao Gai both robbed past merchants on the main road before and after the mountain. After the Song River ascended the mountain, the merchants did not rob much, mainly by robbing the large households around Liangshan and breaking the state and county to plunder the treasury.
In Wang Lun's time, there were only three leaders in Liangshan with hundreds of minions, their strength was limited, and the source of money and food was mainly from robbing past merchants, as well as some subsidies given by Xiao Whirlwind Chai before, and life was still OK.
When Lin Chong was sent, Wang Lun brought out 50 taels of silver and two horses of silk; when Chao Gai went up the mountain, Wang Lun ordered someone to bring out five large pieces of silver (250 taels) to give them away;
After Chao Gai went up the mountain, he brought Chao Gai's own furniture and 100,000 birthdays, but it was not long before Chao Gai felt that "there was no use of gold", and sent Ruan Sanxiong to rob him, snatching more than 20 cars of gold and silver belongings, forty or fifty donkeys, mules and other livestock.
Chao Gai and Wang Lun's road number is similar, the source of income is still robbing past merchants, the only difference is that Chao Gai does not like to kill innocents, only rob money and do not kill people! The size of Liangshan has not changed much, but there are a few more leaders.
After the Song River went up the mountain, Liangshan ushered in large-scale development, and the goal of robbery business was greatly expanded: the good men of Liangshan were divided into troops on N road, attacked everywhere to rob houses, and robbed the local tycoons and gentry and landlords within 200 miles of the surrounding area.
In addition, Liangshan also broke the prefecture and county many times, plundering the treasury money and grain of the province: for example, saving Chai Jin broke Gaotang Prefecture, Sanshan Juyi broke Qingzhou, saving Shi Jin and Lu Zhishen broke Huazhou, and saving Lu Junyi broke the Daming Mansion. After Chao Gai's death, Song Jiang and Lu Junyi fought for the throne of the village and broke dongping province and dongchang province.
All the capitals of the prefectures that were breached by Liangshan and the money and grain of the treasury were plundered by Liangshan, and by the way, the wealth of local bureaucrats was looted, such as the family property of Gao Lian of Gaotang Prefecture and The Taishou Liang Zhongshu of the Daming Prefecture was looted by the good han of Liangshan.
Also those small hills that joined Liangshan brought their wealth to Liangshan: Qingfeng Mountain, Xiangying Mountain, Huangmen Mountain, Erlong Mountain, Peach Blossom Mountain, Shaohua Mountain, White Tiger Mountain, Drinking Horse River, Dead Tree Mountain...
The property of some of the leaders who were extremely wealthy was also brought to Liangshan: Chao Gai's family property, Mu Hong's family property, Lu Junyi's family property, Chai Jin's family property, and Li Ying's family property.
Below, specifically, after the Song River went up the mountain, the fruitful results of Liangshan's robbery cause, according to preliminary estimates, Song Jiang and the Liangshan army robbed a total of more than 32 million yuan
1, Dulonggang: three dozen Zhujiazhuang, the Dulonggang Zhujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang, Lijiazhuang have been robbed of a fine light. The sum of the three is not less than 1.5 million.
Zhujiazhuang: In Zhujiazhuang alone, 500,000 stones of grain and countless gold and silver treasures were looted;
Hujiazhuang: Li Kui killed the people of Hujiazhuang and then used forty or fifty pack horses to pull the family property of the third lady to Liangshan
Li Jiazhuang: The specific amount of property is not specified, but Liangshan sent more than 300 minions to pack and load grain and gold and silver treasures, which shows the amount of money.
2, Gao Tang Prefecture: attack Gao Tang Prefecture to save Chai Jin, a lot of profits, guang Chai Jin's family property has 800,000 yuan, plus Gao Lian's property, the treasury of gold and silver and money and grain, not less than 2 million yuan.
Chai Jin's property: took back Chai Jin and his uncle Chai Huangcheng's gold and silver treasures, a total of more than 20 large cars, "Residual Water Margin" author Cheng Shanzhi estimated that Chai Jin's furniture is 800,000 yuan, Chai Jin's family property is mainly fields, furniture is only a small part.

Gao Tang Prefecture taishou All of Gao Lian's family property;
3. Qingzhou: The three mountains gathered to fight Qingzhou, and the gold and silver treasures and grain were loaded with five or six hundred carts and pulled to Liangshan. Five or six hundred truckloads of grain and gold and silver treasures, Yang Zhisheng Gang picked 11 quintals of 100,000 yuan, and roughly estimated that 3 million yuan was still there.
Song Jiang led the Liangshan soldiers and horses to join the men and horses of the Three Mountains of Erlong Mountain, White Tiger Mountain, and Peach Blossom Mountain to jointly attack Qingzhou.
After breaking Qingzhou, he plundered the gold and silver treasures of the Qingzhou capital treasury, the rice grain in the warehouse, etc., and loaded five or six hundred trucks;
He killed Murong Zhifu's entire family and took away all the family property of Murong Zhifu, who was Murong Guifei's brother, and his family property was at least hundreds of thousands.
4. Huazhou: Shi Shi assassinated He Taishou of Huazhou and was arrested, Lu Zhishen went to save Shi Jin and was arrested again, and Song Jiang used Wu Yong's strategy to attack Huazhou and plundered the treasury's gold, silver, and all the money and grain. The specific number of property, the book does not elaborate, but you can refer to the data of five or six hundred cars and treasures in Qingzhou, Huazhou is not as rich as Qingzhou, but there are still 2 million guan.
5. DamingFu: The treasury of Damingfu, the family property of Liang Zhongshu, the family property of Lu Junyi, and the family property of other large households, harvesting at least 20 million yuan or more.
Damingfu, also known as Beijing Damingfu, was one of the four capitals of the Northern Song Dynasty, with a large population and a wide range of money and grain. The treasury of the Daimyo Province is not less than 15 million yuan, or even more.
Liang Zhongshu gives his father-in-law Cai Jing as many as 100,000 birthday gifts every year, which shows how rich the Daimyo Mansion is. Liang Zhongshu's family property is not less than 3 million yuan.
As the richest man in damingfu, Lu Junyi's family property will certainly not be less than that of a landlord like Zhujiazhuang. A Zhujiazhuang grain alone has 500,000 stones (500,000 guan), And Lu Junyi's family property (movable and immovable property) adds up to no less than 5 million guan, of course, most of it is fields, and the gold and silver wealth is about 500,000 guan.
There are certainly many other large households in the city that have been robbed.

6, Zengtou City: not weaker than the three Zhuangzi of Dulonggang, the income should not be less than 2 million.
There are 7,000 armed private armies of the landlords in Zengtou City, so it can be seen that this is simply a small town, and it can afford to support 7,000 troops.
7, Dongping Province and Dongchang Province, almost equivalent to the current prefecture-level cities, are not very important cities, the two towns looted 2 million guan is almost the same.
Roughly calculated, from the Song River up the mountain, it was robbed everywhere, a total of more than 30 million yuan of looted property, the Northern Song Dynasty's annual financial income is almost 100 million yuan, it can be seen that the robbery ability of the Song River is still very strong.
With these stolen money and grain, the good Han of Liangshan lost tong guan's 100,000 troops twice, and The 130,000 troops of Gao Li who lost three times. Fighting a war costs a lot of money, and Liangshan can easily win the battle against Gao Qi and Tong Guan, in large part because of sufficient money and food.
Song Jiang and Yan Qing went to Tokyo to find a way to Zhao'an, and finally found Emperor Huizong of Song's red face Li Shishi.
Ordinary people could not see this Tokyo flower queen lady at all, but Song Jiang easily saw Master Li, and twice.
Yan Qing directly smashed open the door of Master Li with gold, the old bustard warmly received Song Jiang and his party, and Master Li was also politely entertained, which shows that Liangshan is really rich!
