"Yes! You must write a planning document and submit it to me for review!"
Li Huan repeated, his tone serious.
Lu Junyi asked, puzzled, "What is the planning document?"
Li Huan said, "So-called planning refers to long-term development plans and specific feasible ideas. Do you understand?"
Lu Junyi understood, nodded, and then smiled, "Is it necessary to write a written plan?"
Li Huan said, "Of course it's necessary. How can someone who wants to do great things just talk the talk?"
Gongsun Sheng, nicknamed "Soaring Dragon," said, "This plan is equivalent to a military order!"
Li Huan said, "That's one way to put it! How can we squander the money of Liangshan Marsh? Since we're going to use it to buy fertile land and build houses, we must have a long-term investment plan to ensure that the money is spent wisely and generates returns! We can't let it go to waste, and we certainly can't let it be embezzled by scoundrels!"
Gongsun Sheng said, "Brother is absolutely right!"
Lu Junyi looked slightly embarrassed, his eyes darting around.
Li Huan asked, "Master Lu, what are your opinions?"
Lu Junyi quickly clasped his hands in greeting: "Brother wants to see the planning document, so I will write one for you to review."
Li Huan said, "Alright, if the plan is reasonable and can earn money for Liangshan, I will approve your use of the treasury's silver."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Sanniang hurriedly walked into the "Hall of Gathering Righteousness"!
"My lord!" Hu Sanniang cried out excitedly.
Li Huan stepped forward and took Hu Sanniang's hand.
"My wife has lost weight in the month I haven't seen her! She must be leading the women's army in martial arts practice every day, which must be both stressful and exhausting!"
Hu Sanniang smiled gently: "This is my duty..."
She suddenly fell silent and looked at Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao.
"My lord, who are these two ladies...?"
Li Huan enthusiastically introduced them: "They are my friends, and they have come to Liangshan Marsh as guests."
Hu Sanniang couldn't help but praise, "Both ladies are so beautiful, like celestial beings!"
Xiao Qiao bowed and said, "Madam Li, you flatter me."
Da Qiao said, "Madam Li is not only beautiful, but also heroic and valiant; she is truly a heroine!"
Hu Sanniang smiled brightly: "Ladies, how shall we address you?"
Li Huan said directly, "Her name is Xiao Qiao, and this is her older sister, Da Qiao."
"The Qiao sisters?" Hu Sanniang was taken aback.
Li Huan deliberately asked, "Does this remind you of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao from the Three Kingdoms period?"
Hu Sanniang said, "Yes, the same name, and she's very beautiful too."
Li Huan invited Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao to take their seats, and then looked around at all the Liangshan heroes.
"I have ordered Hu Sanniang to find suitable candidates to form an all-women's army. What are your thoughts, brothers?"
Lu Junyi said, "This is not right! Since the formation of the Women's Army, many brothers have lost interest in doing their jobs and spend all their time looking at the Women's Army."
Gongsun Sheng asked, "May I ask, brother, are the hundred women of the Women's Army available for marriage to you brothers?"
Li Huan laughed: "What, are you also envious of the Women's Army?"
Gongsun Sheng said, "In the past, our Liangshan only had Hu Sanniang, Sun Erniang, Gu Dasao, and a few family members who lived in seclusion and rarely showed their faces. There were no unmarried women!"
"The women soldiers selected by Hu Sanniang were all young and unmarried women. The brothers couldn't help but have all sorts of wild thoughts when they saw this. Wang Ying even lost his mind and flirted with the women soldiers."
Li Huan said, "To be honest, the reason I formed the Women's Army is to solve the problem of the imbalance between men and women in Liangshan Marsh, and also to solve the problem of all the brothers being unmarried."
"However, these young ladies do not know martial arts, horseback riding, or archery. After they marry you brothers, if Liangshan Marsh is attacked by the imperial army, they will be in danger, which will inevitably prevent you brothers from concentrating on fighting the enemy."
"That's why I instructed Hu Sanniang to teach the women soldiers martial arts, horseback riding, and archery as soon as possible, so that they would have the skills to fight on the battlefield, so that they could both be good wives and mothers and protect Liangshan!"
"Brother is wise! Wise!" Gongsun Sheng exclaimed, clasping his hands in praise.
Wang Ying and the others were overjoyed.
Li Huan continued, "Furthermore, if the young ladies of the Women's Army are weak and lack martial arts skills, they will inevitably be bullied after marrying into the brothers' families!"
Wang Ying hurriedly said, "Brother, I am a man who cherishes women, how could I bear to hit my wife?"
Li Huan said, "Just because you don't beat your wife doesn't mean others don't! A rough man like Li Kui, once he's drunk and argues with his wife, how could he possibly lay a fist on her?"
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.
Li Kui raised his enormous head: "Don't laugh at me! Don't let my dark and ugly appearance fool you, I never hit women!"
Li Huan said, "According to my plan, after the women's army is well-trained, they will be married off to you brothers. But you can't sit still, and your hearts are restless! Some of you are asking Sun Erniang to help you find wives, and some of you are constantly hanging around the women's army, thus delaying the training of troops and the defense of Liangshan!"
After hearing Li Huan's words, many of the Liangshan heroes looked ashamed.
"If I had known my brother's plan earlier, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to get married!"
"Haha, luckily I could stand the loneliness and didn't ask Sun Erniang to help me with matchmaking!"
"Sun Erniang! Can you cancel the marriage you arranged for me?!"
"I've also called off my engagement, and I'm waiting to marry one of the women from Liangshan!"
...
Sun Erniang immediately became anxious, stood up straight, and put her hands on her hips.
"You starving ghosts! Before, your eyes were practically glowing with greed, and you were always clamoring to get married and begging me to come down the mountain to find a matchmaker! Now you want to back out? No way!"
Shi Qian said with a grin, "Before Hu Sanniang formed the Women's Army, the brothers drank and ate meat every day, living a carefree and happy life. None of them wanted to get married and have children!"
"But ever since a female army joined Liangshan, the brothers have become envious and started thinking about getting married. They just can't control themselves..."
Li Huan asked, "Drum-Bearing Flea, you've gotten a wife?"
Shi Qian spread his hands: "I'm short and thin, what lady would want me? Sigh, I'm so anxious!"
Li Huan looked at Lu Zhishen: "Flowery Monk, you haven't gotten married, have you?"
Lu Zhishen shook his head vigorously: "All my life I've only loved drinking and eating meat, I've never been close to women!"
Li Huan deliberately asked Wu Song, "Brother Song, are you already married?"
Wu Song smiled calmly: "Brother Huan, you should know my character. How could I be feeling empty and lonely after only a few dozen days with Liangshan, and be thinking about getting married and having children?"
Li Huan said, "It's good that you're not in a hurry to get married. I will definitely find you a virtuous, smart, and kind woman to be your wife!"
Wu Gong clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Brother Huan!"
Li Huan said, "Brothers who are already married can have their wives join the Liangshan Women's Army! They can train together!"
"Excellent!" Gongsun Sheng clapped his hands in agreement!
Lu Junyi frowned slightly: "My wife is rather frail; I'm afraid she's not capable of wielding a spear or a staff..."
"Holy crap!" Li Huan exclaimed, "Master Lu, you've gotten married again?"
