People who have seen the Water Margin know that there are 108 good men living on Liangshan, and these 108 people have successively joined the team of Liangshan. As the team grew, the problem of everyone's food and clothing became a problem that liangshan leaders had to solve quickly; in addition, they still had to fight foreign wars, and they needed some money to equip themselves, and no money was a big thing.
There are two ways for Liangshan to get money, the first is to take people out to rob, but they will never rob the money of ordinary people, but they will specifically select the money of those who are very rich and bullying in the family; the other way is to let one of the very rich families in the family voluntarily join the ranks of Liangshan.
Although the first method is effective, there will always be some casualties every time you go out, which requires medicine to treat, which is another cost. But the second way is absolutely effective, if they really find a rich man to go to Liangshan, then Liangshan's economic problems will be solved immediately.
Because of this way of earning money, Song Jiang personally went down the mountain and led two people to Liangshan, these two people were Chai Jin and Li Ying. Let's start with Chai Jin. Chai Jin's family used to work in the imperial palace, and they had a very honorable iron coupon in their home, with which they could get a lot of money.
But Chai Jin was imprisoned by the local county magistrate because he had done something bad on the street and killed his uncle; it was not until Song Jiang went to fight the county town that he was released. In order to repay Liangshan for giving him freedom, Chai Jin joined Liangshan, and of course his family's money also followed him to Liangshan.
This second person is Li Ying, and compared with Chai Jin, this person is more sleek. He was the head of a zhuang village, and his zhuangzi happened to be located next to two very powerful zhuangzi, one was Zhujiazhuang and the other was Hujiazhuang. The three of them had agreed that if there was an enemy to attack, they would help each other.
However, when Liangshan really came to fight, the relationship between the three Zhuangzi was discordant; because Song Jiang came up with a plan to separate the relationship between the three Zhuangzi. Of course, Liangshan was very happy to come to Zhujiazhuang, but Li Ying was happily idle at home and did not help.
In the end, the two mountain villages were killed by Liangshan, and only he had one mountain villa left, and he really had no way, and he didn't want to be destroyed by Liangshan, so he took all his family property and went to Liangshan. After going to Liangshan, Li Ying was reluctant at first, which also made Song Jiang see it in his eyes, so he let Li Yingguang manage the money on the mountain, and other things did not have to be taken care of.
What Song Jiang did not expect was that in addition to being very rich, Li Ying's martial arts on his body were also very powerful. His ability to ally with the other two powerful villages before he went up the mountain showed that his power was not so simple. Song Jiang, the poor people who want food, only saw that Li Ying was very rich, but forgot that he was also a very powerful military general.
Li Ying was very happy to get this job in Liangshan, because he didn't need to go out to fight for Liangshan, nor could he lose his life, so he was more inclined to do such a stable profession, counting money every day, and reporting the account. Later, Liangshan was recruited, And Li Ying disagreed with this practice, and he did not want to get the wealth given to him by Song Jiang, so he ran to the countryside to become a rich man, and finally died peacefully.
