Not to mention Lin Chong, the four of them happily mounted their horses and galloped all the way back to their base.

Only the yellow gelding stood alone on the school field. Zhao Zhen said to Fu Yu who was busy organizing the team: "Brother Fu Yu, please send this yellow gelding to Wu Sanniang in Dulonggang."

Fu Yu nodded in agreement and said, "Don't worry, senior official. After I bring the soldiers and horses back to the station, I will send the horses to my master's wife."

After the Sandu cavalry left, Zhao Zhen invited Wu Yong and the four of them to the hall. Zhao Xing served tea and waited on them.

Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, what's next? Do you have any plans?"

Xiao Rang cupped his hands and said: "Sir, the spiritual fields in various places have been measured clearly, and the rouge rice and pearl rice to be planted should also be bred."

"The three farms in Baishigu, Kushutun and Goutoushan have a total of 14.8 acres of spiritual land. Now it is an orchard and vegetable garden, let alone it. The six acres of medicinal fields in Tianqi Temple are also preserved."

"The two eight-acre spiritual fields in Heihumiao Town and the five-acre spiritual field in Zhujiazhuang, Dulonggang are both mountainous areas with inconvenient access to water. They have been planted with ordinary winter wheat. After this year's harvest, we will plant a season of soybeans and switch to golden wheat." There are four acres of spiritual land in Xiawang Village in Gouzhao Mountain and two acres in Xinwang Village. Of the sixty acres in Qinglong Mountain, only fifteen acres in Dushan Village, twenty-one acres in Donglou Village, thirteen acres in Sunjiazhuang, and seven acres in Chenjiaying. Mu and four acres in Dingzhuang Village are dry fields, and golden wheat has been planted in these two areas.”

"There are four acres in Zhangzhuang in Xiaoliangfeng, three acres in Yangzhuang in Xiaohuangshan, seventeen acres in Hutoufeng Liangcun, seven acres in Taoji on Luozi Mountain, and five acres in Xiataoji. They are all paddy fields. There are four acres of dry land in Mamiao Village. "

"There are twenty acres of spiritual fields in Xiaoping Mountain, but no one lives here yet. There are ten acres of paddy fields in Dongzhang Village of Yuhuangding, and the remaining sixty acres are on the top of the mountain. There are thirty-three acres of spiritual fields in Xinghua Village on the Snow Mountain Peak, and ten Three acres are spread among the apricot groves, planted with wheat yellow apricots, and the remaining 20 acres are paddy fields.”

"Hao Shanfeng discovered the most spiritual fields, including 35 acres in Zhenggai Village, 28 acres in Liuji Village, 20 acres in Ma Zhenyang Village, and 5 acres in Xinzheng Village. They are also good paddy fields. And there is Dong In the paddy field where rouge rice was found in Xicun, seven acres of the lowest land have also become spiritual fields, but the soil there is still as red as cinnabar, which is most suitable for growing rouge rice. "

"The paddy fields total 216 acres, the dry fields total 128 acres, the orchards and vegetable gardens total 27 acres and 6 acres of medicinal fields. Next, the county government plans to send a team to visit Liangshang County Everywhere, places suitable for building villages and places with special products will be marked to facilitate the next step of recruiting refugees."

"Xiaoping Mountain is flat, and there is a pond on the top of the mountain. It was originally planned to build a camp. After measurements, the farmland could be no less than 100,000 acres. I think the Xueshan Mountain Camp does not need to be relocated, and only one site will be built on the top of Xiaoping Mountain. For a larger pier, you can station a large number of people and monitor the surrounding area. You can build a village here, recruit refugees, and cultivate fields. In the future, it will be enough to produce 200,000 shi of grain a year."

Zhao Zhen looked at Wu Yong. Wu Yong pondered for a moment and said, "What brother Xiao Rang said is reasonable. It is true that the camp does not have to be moved to Xiaoping Mountain. At first, it was just that Xiaoping Mountain was gentle and could not only garrison infantry but also horse troops." It doesn’t matter where the army is. It has a good view and is easiest to monitor the surroundings.”

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Zhu Wu, brother Pei Xuan, what do you two think?"

Zhu Wudao: "Sir, I think that in addition to opening up wasteland for farming, the horse farm should be moved here. In this way, there will be no idlers to disturb the place, nor will it be mixed with other large animals, so the horses will naturally be less likely to get sick. "

After a discussion among the five people, the purpose of Xiaopingshan was decided. Xiao Rang wrote an official document, Zhao Zhen used his seal, and mobilized 50 people from Tao Zongwang's "Craftsman Camp" to raise the height and expand the pier at the top of the mountain to meet the needs of the people of the capital. Later, village squares, water canals, and racecourses were built.

Xiao Rang continued: "Sir, there is one more thing. When brother Lu Zhishen came, he offered two boundary stones. Now is the season of spring and flowers are blooming, so it is time to put them down."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, I almost forgot about it. It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Let's leave these two mountains and forests today."

Seeing that Zhu Wu didn't understand why, Zhao Zhen explained the previous plan and took out two boundary heart stones to show to Zhu Wu. Zhu Wu took it in his hand, looked at it again and again, and said, "Is this the Jiexin Stone? I seem to have seen it in brother Chen Da's room."

Wu Yong said: "Seriously?"

Zhu Wudao: "I'm not sure, so I'd better call Brother Chen Da to inquire."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen sent Zhao Ji to Wanzi City to find Chen Da and Shi Jin, and asked Zhang Qi to go to Xuefeng Mountain Camp to invite Lu Zhishen and the first Yuanguang of Liantai Temple and several other ministerial monks and eighteen warrior monks.

Zhu Wu then said: "Sir, sir, these days, I have visited various military camps and counted the troops. There are 700 people in the seventh capital of the horse army, 800 people in the third capital of the navy, 1,000 people in each of the left and right military camps of the infantry, and Dulonggang. There are 900 infantrymen from Sanzhuang, 200 infantrymen from Heihumiao Town, and 300 infantrymen from Baishigu. There are also 120 infantrymen from [Bird Cannon City] and 220 people from [Artillery City] in Nanda Camp, and 600 new soldiers from Wanzi City. A total of 5840 people.”

"Except Shuibo Liangshan, Dulonggang is isolated. There are now ten villages, 8,000 households, and 200,000 acres of fertile land. There are only 1,000 horse infantry troops. Although they have local bravery, if they are attacked, they may only be able to defend themselves. "

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen hesitated and said, "What do you think, brother Zhu Wu?"

Zhu Wudao: "I didn't have any idea before today. Today I heard that the villager wanted to put down two mountains in the south, and now I have an idea. These two mountains serve as defensive passes, so there is no need for the South Camp. There are three cavalry troops inside. You can put it in Heihumiao Town and Dulonggang."

"I have made some plans. At least 3,000 people should be stationed in Dulonggang. It is best for the horse army to have four to five hundred people, so that the horse army can wander around and look for fighters. With this battalion of horse soldiers, the enemy will not dare to easily Attack the village."

Wu Yong said: "What Brother Zhu Wu said is true. Only in this way can Dulonggang be considered foolproof. However, there is no need to cancel the Nanda Camp. Now there are more than 1,100 war horses in the county, and there are also many farmers in the three villages of Dulonggang who are good at horse fighting. Recruit three hundred men and gather a thousand cavalry.”

"The people from Shidu were transferred to Dulonggang, and in cooperation with Luan Tingyu, the number of people in both capitals was expanded to 200. The number of people in Linchong, Nanda Ying, was also expanded to 200, and the rest remained unchanged."

"As for the infantry, Zhujiazhuang will increase its troops to 1,500, and Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang will each have 500 troops. For the rest of the newly built villages, each will recruit thirty or fifty rural soldiers for daily duty. Xuefengshan Camp, Haoshanshanfeng Camp Each of the major camps also added a thousand troops to prepare for emergencies."

Zhao Zhen said: "You two brothers have thought it over properly. In this case, I would like to ask you two brothers to preside over this expansion of the army."

Wu Yong and Zhu Wu heard this and raised their hands.

When it's time to apply for the cards, everyone comes to Baishi Valley to collect them. Zhao Zhen said to Lu Zhishen: "Brother Zhishen, you gave me two boundary heart stones when you first came here. You will put them down today to invite me to come and see them."

Lu Zhishen said: "The Sa family is going to see something today."

Zhu Wu picked up a boundary heart stone and asked, "Brother Chen Da, come and take a look. I once saw that you had a similar one. Is it still there now?"

Chen Da took it and took a look at it, and said: "Brother, is this the Heart of the Realm Stone? It looks almost the same when you touch it. I will go back to my room to get it and let the officials take a look."

With that said, Chen Da went back to his room to get a stone. Zhao Zhen took it and saw that it was also a boundary stone.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, where did you get this world heart stone?"

Chen Da shook his head and said: "When you are a high-ranking official, when you are a low-ranking person at home, no matter how much your gambling money is, you have often fought with other people's hands. This stone was won at that time. I find it to be the hardest, so I often keep it at hand."

Everyone laughed after hearing this and said Chen Da was lucky.

Seeing that it was late, Zhao Zhen called Shang Guanghui and Jiao Ting to bring a bunch of Pu soldiers. The heroes mounted their horses, passed through Xixi Village, passed through Nan Daying, and reached the foggy southern border of Liangshan County.

After Zhao Zhen prayed, he spent a little luck each and threw the two heart stones into the mist.

I saw the fog receding, revealing two mountains.

On the east side, there is only a large pine forest in front and a mountain road in the middle of the pine forest. Looking along the mountain road, I saw a ruined temple, which should be the Earthen Pot Temple mentioned by Lu Zhishen.

Everyone went up the road, about half a mile away, and after crossing a stone bridge, the ruins of the temple were clearly visible.

The bell tower collapsed and there were ruins everywhere. Exactly:

Headless Arhat, Broken Arm King Kong.

A rabbit's den is hidden in the Xiangji kitchen, and fox traces are printed on the Longhua stage.

Due to the smoke and fire, the entire Earthen Pot Temple was in a state of dilapidation, with only the Jixiang Kitchen and a few dormitories at the back remaining. Everyone couldn't help but sigh, leaving half of the people to clean up here, and Zhao Zhen and others walked down the mountain.

After passing the stone bridge, Lu Zhishen patted the stone railings on the stone bridge and said, "Shi Dalang, do you ever remember this place?"

Shi Jin said: "Why don't I remember that my brother and I killed the two birdmen right here. We were in such a hurry that the corpses were scurrying into the stream below."

As he spoke, he pointed to a red pine forest in the distance and said, "When my younger brother cut a path there and met his elder brother, things were really unpredictable."

Everyone looked over and saw that the branches were scattered and strange shadows were scattered. From a distance, it looks like a judge's beard, and up close, it looks like devil's hair.

Wu Yong said: "Master, although the terrain here is not dangerous, there are these two woods, a stream, and this abandoned field at the foot of the mountain. It is a good place to build a village."

Xiao Rang also said: "The Crock Temple is in ruins. It will take a lot of time to clean up the mountain gate and build the temple."

Zhao Zhen said: "First go to Erlong Mountain and then make a decision. Let five or seven people go down and search along the stream. They may find the bodies of the two birds and the man and woman. Pick them up and bury them under a tree. Don't do it." If this water is polluted, it will be used whether it is building a temple or irrigating crops.”

Jiao Ting ordered ten people to divide into two waves, go down both ends of the stone bridge, and explore along the water flow. Zhao Zhen and others turned around and went down the mountain.

Looking at the mountain to the west, it is much steeper than the one to the east. Compared with the Earthen Pot Temple, the peak is more than twice as high. There is only one road in the middle, and two miles of mountains surround the future, enclosing a Baozhu Temple.

Walking up the mountain road, I saw three gates with many hammers and cannon stones left behind. After passing three gates, when I came to Baozhu Temple to look at it, I saw three gates and a section of mirror that looked like flat ground, surrounded by wooden fences to form a city.

Although the entire Baozhu Temple has been changed beyond recognition, it is still intact and the cottage is only built around the temple. After demolishing these houses, the buildings were built into a complete temple, which is much more majestic than Liantai Temple.

Yuan Guang took a step forward and said to Zhao Zhen: "Master, do we want to stay here?"

Wu Yong said hurriedly: "No. Sir, although the temple here is complete, the terrain is steep, making it inconvenient for faithful men and women to come and go. It is better to build an earthen jar temple. This place overlooks Xixi Village and can monitor and block enemies from the south. Baozhu The temple is still used as a military garrison.”

Lu Zhishen said: "Sir, if troops are stationed here, the Sa family would like to come here."

After hearing this, Guanghui said: "The Sa family would like to stay here with my senior brother. There are pilgrims at the Pagoda Temple every day, which is very inconvenient. There are also Buddha statues here. The Sa family trains soldiers on weekdays, so you can chant sutras if you have nothing to do."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Guanghui is coming here. The residence at Baota Temple is still reserved for the brothers. It will be used as a family temple in the future. As long as Waguan Temple is repaired, it will no longer receive pilgrims. Master Yuanguang will temporarily live in Baota Temple until Waguan Temple is built. The pot temple is repaired.”

Zhao Zhen asked again: "Xuetuo, brother Zhishen is here to garrison. Who can be the chief general on the snow mountain peak?"

Wu Yongdao: "Among the brothers in the county, the one with the best martial arts and courage is none other than Brother Shi Xiu. It would be better to send Brother Shi Xiu over. As for Black Tiger Temple Town, there are five: Sun An, Deng Fei, Li Ying, Yang Lin, and Fu Yu. The cavalry of Sandu, commanded by brothers, and the infantry of Yidu, commanded by brother Duan Jingzhu, are also sufficient to cope with Dulonggang."

Zhao Zhen said: "That's good. In addition to the soldiers from the two capitals trained by the two brothers, we will also transfer the [Artillery Capital] and [Bird Guns Capital] from the South Camp. Together with these eighteen temple-protecting monks, we will have Go up to the leader."

Wu Yongdao: "Officials, today they are talking about adjusting the army. Since there is a new camp here, it is better to garrison 1,500 people at Haoshanfeng Mountain and Xuefengfeng Mountain, and remove 1,000 people to garrison at Baozhu Temple. In this way, there will be enough defensive sergeants everywhere."

Zhao Zhen listened and said: "This is the best. There are 600 people in the Wanzi City camp. Three hundred people will be transferred to Zhujiazhuang first, and the remaining 300 people will be transferred to Baozhu Temple. As for the expansion of the camp in various places, Tao Zongwang has to be contacted. The [Craftsman’s Camp] he led.”

"After all, this place has been abandoned for a long time, and it needs to be carefully cleaned before it can be stationed. The newly recruited sergeants will also first make up for Dulonggang and Baozhu Temple, and then Shuibo Liangshan will be stationed at the two camps."

After everyone heard this, they all responded. Lu Zhishen, Guang Hui, Pu Daobing and the monk were left to clean up here. The rest followed Zhao Zhen back to Baishi Manor.

Zhao Zhen sent an order to first mobilize 400 people from Xueshan Mountain to garrison Baozhu Temple. He also arranged for Zhao Yuanli to collect grain and grass and send them up the mountain.

They also recruited strong laborers from Xixi Village and Dongxi Village to clean up the rubble at the Crock Temple. Tao Zongwang personally supervised the work. Every part of the temple was marked one by one. According to the remaining ruins, the Crock Temple was rebuilt on the original site.

The orders were written one after another, Zhao Zhen stamped them, and then they were quickly passed around, and they were busy until dinner time.

Zhao Zhen was newly married. After entertaining everyone, he hurried back to Hu Sanniang's residence.
