Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

After the meal, Zhao Zhen said some words to the two sisters Jinlebo and Xiulebo, then left the two sisters and went to the front to meet Bao Xu and others.

Looking at Zhu Gui with a serious face, Zhao Zhen said: "This matter started because of you, and it will naturally happen to you. You go to the Lingguan Hall of Dongxi Village in person and ask Mr. Dong to calculate the date and accept her as soon as possible. Getting Started for Two.”

After that, without waiting for Zhu Gui's response, Jiao Ting, Fourth Sister Hei and a group of sumo apprentices were left wrestling and wrestling in the tiles. Zhao Zhen took Yu Baosi, Bao Xu, and Yan Shude with him. We set up a carriage and rode to the nearest Zhujiazhuang.

Chao Gai and Han Bolong joined the cavalry army Luan Tingyu, Wu Sanniang, Yan Shun, Shi Jin, Yang Chun, Chen Da, and the township leader Wang Lun had been waiting at Zhujiazhuang for a long time. After seeing the ceremony, everyone gathered around and went to Zhujiazhuang. After sitting down in Zhuang Mansion, Zhao Zhen asked, "Brother Chao Gai, how is this place in Dulonggang always?"

Chao Gai smiled and said: "Since the high officials took over Jingyang Town, there are no hostile forces around Dulonggang. Each village has also formed village warriors ranging from thirty to fifty people to protect the village. They issued simple knives and rattan armor." , no one dared to disturb them, but there were some people who wanted to attack with force. Brother Zhu Gui circled around for a while, and the cavalry troops led by brothers Luan Tingyu and Shi Jin arrived in a moment and drove away the two groups of passing imperial troops. . Everything else is fine.”

Luan Tingyu said: "Brother Chao Gai is right. Dulonggang is very stable now. We just train soldiers and herd horses every day. Every few days, we divide our troops to patrol the territory of Dulonggang, and occasionally kill a few gray-haired animals that wander over. Wolf, you can also make a pot of broth.”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "That's good. The farmers live and work in peace and contentment because of the protection of the brothers. When I come back here, in addition to talking to the brothers, I also bring freshly made bamboo mats to the brothers."

Wu Sanniang said: "I heard Brother Fu Yu mention it a few days ago that the senior officials got a lot of fresh bamboos and are working hard to weave mats. I heard that they will be used for the army's sergeants and soldiers?"

Zhao Zhen said: "The weaving of these bamboo mats is not slow. More than a thousand mats can be woven in a month. It will take a long time to prepare the entire army. This first wave of green bamboo mats will be supplied to the heroes in the army first. The officials in the county, and then the military commanders, team leaders, and bannermen, the township chiefs, and lizheng in the county are in charge of various affairs, and they need to sell more, so that next year the armies can all match them. "

After everyone heard this, they all said that Zhao Zhen was considerate of the sergeant.

Zhao Zhen said: "Soldiers fighting on the battlefield must be given some preferential treatment. Otherwise, how can we make the strong men kill the enemy with all their heart?"

As if he thought of something, Zhao Zhen said: "Wu Sanniang, [Five Saint Empress] Wang Wang asked me to ask, are you pregnant?"

Wu Sanniang sighed and said: "Master, when I was selling weapons, I developed a carbuncle on my back. It lingered for a long time and could not be cured. I took a lot of herbal medicine, which ruined my foundation. Although I was cured by my adoptive father, I finally stayed. There are hidden dangers, and I don’t know if I will have a son in this life.”

Luan Tingyu quickly stepped forward to comfort him.

Zhao Zhen also sighed: "If that's the case, why not go to the medical center to take care of yourself. Ruan Xiaoer's Hun family has been treated by Madam Bai Zhi and she is pregnant with a child this year."

After hearing this, Wu Sanniang stood up and asked, "Seriously? I'm going to go today to find Madam Bai Zhi to nurse her back, so that I can get pregnant with the son as soon as possible."

Zhao Zhen said: "I don't understand medical science, so you can just go and find Mrs. Bai Zhi. But there is no rush to do it in the next day or two. Ruan Xiaoer's wife also nursed her for a long time before she became pregnant. In a few days, come back with us. that is."

Wu Sanniang nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

After lunch, Zhao Zhen, accompanied by Chao Gai and Wang Lun, took a look around and walked around every village. Villages were newly built, small trees were planted everywhere in the village, and crops were in the fields. , vegetable gardens, and fruit groves are lush and lush. There has been sufficient rain this year, and farmers live and work in peace and contentment. It is indeed a good year.

This is also the case in Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang.

Zhao Zhen from Hujiazhuang brought a bamboo mat and paid homage to Grand Duke Hu together with Hu Cheng. When Grand Duke Hu saw him, he was really happy: "Wonderful son-in-law, is the elder still capable?"

Zhao Zhen said: "My brother is in charge of the troops and is also in charge of the salt fleet. He is indispensable to the county. Taishan is the master of discipline and education."

Grand Duke Hu laughed and said: "It's good to use them together, it will save him from doing nothing all day long. I have been checking the warehouse at home these days and found hundreds of collodion seeds. This was left by a nun who taught Sanniang martial arts. I borrowed the collodion grown in Zhujiazhuang's spiritual field and the green fire silkworm silk given by Shen Ni to weave the red cotton lasso. It is useless to keep this kind of seed with me, so my wise son-in-law takes it."

With that said, someone fetched a small jar and handed it to Zhao Zhen.

World Log:

Collodion seeds (First level, ordinary cotton is planted around the Flame Mountain, roasted by geothermal heat all year round, and mutated.)

Zhao Zhen thanked him quickly, and Hu Taigong said: "These seeds are more than ten years old. Although they are stored carefully, I don't know if they can germinate. I only remembered that Sanniang gave me water cotton cloth when she came home a few days ago. I rummaged through it. It took a long time to find it.”

"Furthermore, in the early years, there were meteors falling in Dulonggang, and Sanzhuang all got some meteorites. Over the years, they made weapons for Hu Cheng and Sanniang. There were many left, and the wise son-in-law also took them away. I heard Hu Cheng said, The good son-in-law is going to have a banquet in Zhujiazhuang today, so I won't keep you here. You two can go on your own. Hu Cheng tells him to drink less today and not stay overnight in Zhujiazhuang. Hey, Xiuxiu is here now. I’m pregnant, and the whole family is tight.”

Zhao Zhen said: "Congratulations to Lao Taishan, this is a happy event for the birth of a new baby. After a while, the fetal image will be stable, I will ask Sanniang to come and take a look."

Hu Taigong said: "Xian son-in-law, you have been married for a long time and have many wives and concubines. Why is there still no movement now?"

Zhao Zhen said: "I and a few others have also seen it, and there is no problem. I don't know why, but I haven't been able to conceive a child for a long time. Fortunately, we are all young now, so we are not in a hurry."

With that said, Zhao Zhen said goodbye and returned to Zhujiazhuang with everyone.

That night, Li Yun, Shi Qian, Hu Cheng, Yan Liu, the heroes of Zhujiazhuang and Washi, and the township head Wang Lun were all having a banquet at Zhujiazhuang, with large bowls of wine and large pieces of meat, and they drank and drank together.

During the dinner, Chao Gai asked: "Why don't brothers Zhu Gui come?"

Shi Yong replied: "As soon as the high officials left today, brother Zhu Gui took two young men and flew to Liangshan County on flying horses. He didn't say what he was going to do."

If Zhao Zhen didn't mention it, it wouldn't be a big deal. Everyone put their minds aside and just drank.

The next day, Zhao Zhen called Chao Gai alone and met with him. Zhao Zhen said, "Brother Chao Gai, have you heard about Song Jiang's murder these days?"

Chao Gai lowered his voice and said: "Many businessmen have mentioned it. Brother Shi Qian came back and told me that Song Gongming has fallen into disgrace in Qingzhou. I can understand the murder, but I don't know how he dared to do so."

Zhao Zhen said: "I have speculated with Xuexue and other brothers. I am afraid that Song Gongming is planning to recruit people, and he will definitely make a big move later. Once his name is revealed, based on his reputation in the world over the years, I am afraid that many people will go." Surrender to him. Nothing else matters. There are two things that need to be taken care of. "

Chao Gai said, "Just give me your orders."

"First thing, brother, please pay attention to the good guys coming and going. If you meet someone you have friendship with and can stay, recommend him to the county. If Song Gongming really becomes big one day, I'm afraid he will also come and plunder the state capital. , have to guard against it.”

Chao Gai listened and nodded in agreement.

"The second thing is that my brother needs to send people to explore around Dulonggang to find out the villages scattered in the fog. When the time comes, the fog will be dispersed, the territory will be expanded, and one's own strength will be enhanced to cope with changes."

Chao Gai said: "Don't worry, high official, I will take care of this matter."
