Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

When it was time to apply for the license, the four of them, Zhao Zhen and his wife, climbed out of the pool. Cheng Wan'er and the other three had red faces. They didn't know whether it was because the hot spring water was too hot or something. Judging from the way Zhao Zhen secretly rubbed his waist, it seemed that he had something hidden.

At night, after dinner, Zhao Zhen felt very sleepy and went to bed early. After all, he was young, and with daily nourishment, Zhao Zhen was back to his original state in just one night.

After breakfast, Zhao Zhen went to the village official to meet Zhu Mingsheng and the village elder. Bai Zhi wanted to go to the Tianqi Temple medicine field with her parents and brother, so she pulled Cheng Wan'er and Jin Cuilian to go together.

Yesterday was an absurd event. The three of them sneered at Zhao Zhen's proposal to soak in the hot springs. Cheng Waner, in particular, reacted to the boss Zhao Zhen's opinion afterwards and was angry that Zhao Zhen had made him lose face in front of Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian.

The three of them hit it off immediately, and they all went to Tianqi Temple with Bai Duo and others, leaving Zhao Zhen alone in Xinghua Village.

However, it was said that Zhao Zhen had a conversation with the elders in the village and saw that Zhao Zhen was kind, and the village elders relaxed from their initial uneasiness.

From the mouths of these old people in the village, what Zhao Zhen heard the most was thanks to Zhao Zhen for getting rid of the snake problem, and then the two big apricot trees at the east end of the village and the [Octagonal Glazed Well] in the center of the village were mentioned the most. . Du said it was all thanks to this well and the apricot trees that Xinghua Village became what it is today.

The well water is clear and sweet. The tea brewed with this water today is clear and fragrant, like orchid on the tongue.

After talking for an hour, Zhao Zhen got up and sent these village elders out of the village office. He also served them wine, meat, rice and noodles, and sent the villagers back to their respective homes.

Zhao Zhen, led by Zhu Mingsheng, went to the village to see these two large apricot trees.

Both apricot trees are as thick as a hug, with their main trunks about eight feet tall, and the whole tree is nearly four feet tall. The branches are dark brown, and the whole tree is bare. Despite this, there are still many exposed branches. You can imagine the lush apricot branches in spring and summer.

Walking closer, Zhu Mingsheng said: "Master, these two apricot trees, according to the village records, existed before the village was built, and they are at least 300 years old. The apricot grove on the mountain is the descendant of these two ancient trees. 1 In spring, the officials came again to watch, and the apricot blossoms and snowy waves rolling all over the mountains looked like clouds when viewed from high up on the snow-capped peaks."

Zhao Zhen asked: "This apricot forest is so big, what is the harvest every year?"

Zhu Mingsheng said: "I am a high-ranking official. In the ten-mile apricot forest, there are endless apricots to eat. Wheat yellow is also yellow, and wheat is ripe. People in the village call it wheat yellow apricot. The apricot is large, sweet, separated from the pit, and yellow in the middle. Red, it is best for relieving cough and asthma, and promoting fluid production and quenching thirst.”

"When the wheat is ripe, you pick some for your own consumption, while the rest can only be left on the tree to be pecked by birds or rot and fall. In May and June, every household eats apricots. Unfortunately, these apricots cannot be stored well, so they have to be picked. It will rot in three to five days.”

Zhao Zhen said: "Why not make apricot preserves, dried apricots, apricot jam, etc.?"

Zhu Mingsheng said: "I used to make some, but in recent years, due to the proliferation of green anacondas in the mountains, I didn't dare to go deep into the apricot forest, so I only picked some on the periphery of the apricot forest to eat. In terms of taste, there is no apricot in the ten miles of apricot forest as good as the two at the entrance of the village. "Zhu Laoxing."

After Zhao Zhen heard this, his heart moved and he checked it with a probe. As expected, these two 300-year-old apricot trees have also entered the advanced stage.

world log

Handi apricot (there is Fenliu Mountain, where there are many apricots, as big as pears, and as yellow as oranges. The natives call it Handi apricot, also called golden apricot.)

Effect 1: After eating 300 apricots, those with a physical constitution of less than 40 will have a physical constitution +1.

Zhao Zhen then asked: "Zhu Lizheng, how many apricots can these two old apricot trees produce in a year?"

Zhu Lizheng said: "My lord, during the wheat harvest season, the village worships the land god. The apricots from these two apricot trees are picked on that day every year. Each person in the village can get three to five. Calculating, one tree can be harvested in a year." It produces five to six hundred pounds of apricots.”

Zhao Zhen listened and made some calculations in his mind: "According to what Zhu Mingsheng said, these two apricot trees can produce tens of thousands of apricots a year, which can increase the attributes of thirty people every year."

Zhao Zhen said: "Zhu Lizheng, these two apricot trees are already spiritual plants. From now on, they will be used as special supplies for Baishi Valley. When they mature every year, they will be picked one after another and sent to Baishi Manor."

Zhu Mingsheng listened and nodded in agreement.

Then Zhao Zhen followed Zhu Mingsheng around the village. According to Xiao Rang's new county annals, Zhao Zhen visited all the recorded spiritual fields. The spiritual field has thirty-three acres, divided into seven plots. The largest plot is eleven acres, and the smallest plot is only one-third of an acre. Three places are distributed in the apricot forest, and wheat yellow apricots are planted. After so many years, except that the trees have grown taller, they are no different from other apricots.

Zhao Zhen told Zhu Mingsheng that in the spring of next year, the apricot trees in these three places will be transplanted to other places, and all the spiritual fields will be vacant, and [Rouge Rice] will be planted next year.

After visiting Xinghua Village, in the afternoon, Zhao Zhen took Jiao Ting and others to the Lotus Temple. Master Yuantong, the presiding abbot, received Zhao Zhen and his party.

After drinking tea, Zhao Zhen asked: "Abbott, the former heard the master call Lu Zhishen his senior brother. Why is this?"

Yuan Tongdao: "Master, Lotus Temple is just a small temple, not comparable to Wutai Mountain where my senior brother came from, so I call him my senior brother."

Zhao Zhen said: "That's it. I heard what brother Zhishen said. He learned all the boxing and kicking skills in Wutai Mountain, the sixty-four postures of Drunk Eight Immortals Fist, Iron Clothes Shirt, the first staff method, and the one hundred and eight postures of subduing the magic wand. I don't know if Liantai Temple can do it." Do you have a martial arts heritage?”

Yuantong seemed to have known for a long time that Zhao Zhen was learning martial arts everywhere. He did not hesitate at that moment. He took two secret books from the back and handed them to Zhao Zhen, saying: "Master, these are two martial arts secret books handed down from our temple. The boxing method is The forty-seven moves of Guangming Fist, the stick technique is the six-way Xiaoyaksha stick technique, which can be practiced by high-ranking officials. "

Zhao Zhen was not in a hurry to look through it, so he just collected it and continued: "From now on, there will be no livestock and land in the temple. Food and drink expenses will be allocated according to the population. The military stronghold on the top of the mountain is being built. Do we still need so many monks in the temple?" ?”

Yuan Chuangdao: "Master, the temple is safe now. The temple does not need so many warrior monks. However, these people have lived in the temple since they were young. Apart from practicing martial arts, they don't know anything else. There is no way out. That’s why he is still kept in the temple.”

Zhao Zhen said: "Abbott, I have a boundary stone from the Crock Temple in my hand. I plan to put it down at the southern boundary. We need these monks right now. I wonder if Abbot is willing to let it go?"

Yuantong listened and said: "High officials, if these monks are of use, the high officials can just take them away. The junior monks have no objection. These monks are strong and have drank the nectar of the lotus platform. Most people are no match for these monks." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Thank you, abbot, for your understanding. In addition, I have to ask the abbot to select a few ministerial monks. Once this mountain is abandoned and Miaomenshan Temple is rebuilt, these people will also be needed to take charge of daily life."

Yuantong listened and said with a smile: "This is easy to handle. Just wait for the high official to say hello, and these eighteen monks and several stewards will be sent to the designated location."
