Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

When Zhao Zhen came back, Song Qing and his group had left Liangshan County.

Zhao Zhen looked at the same number of pearls, agates and amber jade pendants, and said to Cheng Waner: "They are all good things. This pearl must be six cents in size, right?"

Cheng Wan'er said: "These twenty beads are all six cents in size. The most rare thing is that they have the same color. They seem to be Dongzhu. They must have been acquired in the North."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Yes, choose a few things you like, let brother Zheng Tianshou make some exquisite jewelry, and the other ladies will put them away. The same goes for these silks and satins, let Bai Zhi and others choose some styles they like and add some clothes."

Cheng Wan'er said worriedly: "Ms. sir, I listen to Wu Yong, there is something wrong with the origin of these things..."

Zhao Zhen said: "It doesn't matter. Although these things are rare, he is not the only one who has them. They are just like those gold and silver wine vessels. They are only used at home. It doesn't matter."

Cheng Wan'er said happily: "When Hui Niang comes through, I will let them each pick one."

Without further ado, on the second day, after Zhao Zhen rested for the night, he discussed with Wu Yong and Zhu Wu about the personnel stationed in Jingmen Town.

Zhu Wu first said: "My lord, this place is still focused on defense. Near the Wuli Fort where we are waiting to board the ship, a pier can be built. It can be used as a temporary dock for patrolling water berths, and it can also be used as a station. With the navy, it will be easier to travel in the future.”

"As for the garrison of heroes, I think Brother Shi Xiu is fine and capable of taking charge."

Zhao Zhen listened, nodded and looked at Wu Yong.

Wu Yong said: "Master, brother Shi Xiu is indeed a good candidate, but now he has gone to the north to buy horses. It is normal for him to go back and forth for three or two months. Jingmen Town cannot afford to delay. There is a ready-made person in the county."

As he spoke, he shook his feather fan lightly and said, "How do you think, Mr. Liu, the defense envoy of Yizhou Prefecture?"

"First of all, Liu Feng himself is good at defending the city. Secondly, Lord Liu has never made arrangements. In the future, he is a relative of a high official. It is appropriate to go out of the town. In this way, there is no need to adjust other brothers. As long as he is matched with Lord Liu, Just take two deputies.”

Zhu Wudao: "[Prior Officer] Li San still has no job after returning from the northwest border."

Zhao Zhen said: "Count him in. Li San has quick legs and feet, and he can also explore north along the lake."

Wu Yong said: "Adding the eldest son Liu Qi?"

Zhao Zhen nodded: "It's okay, Liu Lin also wants to form a navy, so the arrangements are very good. In the past few days, Coach Wang and Commander Yang will also discuss how to arrange it."

Wu Yongdao: "These two people are superb in martial arts and are good at horse fighting. The high officials also asked them to form two capital horse armies. Now they have visited various places in Liangshan and are just waiting for the three brothers Shi Xiu to come back from selling horses." . Now let the two go to Wanzi City to train the new recruits. You can practice riding horses first. "

"As for the garrison, why not put it in the South Camp, and how about promoting the generals of each military camp to the commander of the first battalion?"

Zhu Wudao: "I'm thinking of building a small village on the top of Jinshan Mountain in Fanzhuang, Jingmen Town. Everyone in Fanzhuang joins the army, and there are hills there. It used to be a place for grazing cattle and sheep. War Horse, if there is a change in Jingmen Town, how about letting the two of you go there?"

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "The top of Jinshan Mountain is indeed suitable for grazing, and it would be good to put it in Jingmen Town. As for the post of commander, it is also suitable. I will send an official document today, Chao Gai, Liu Tang, Shi Xiu, Yang Xiong, Lu Zhishen, Guang Hui, Jiao Ting, and Liu Guang are the commanders of the infantry camp. Luan Tingyu and Lin Chong are the commanders of the horse camp. As for Jingyang Town, Hua Rong is the commander of the army and horses, and Sun An and Li Ying are the camp commanders. Among the envoys, Yang Lin has the greatest credit and is the deputy commander, and the rest are still the chief and deputy envoys of the cavalry army. "

After Wu Yong heard this, he laughed and said: "The words of the senior official have awakened me. Jingyang Town can have a general manager of troops and horses, so why not send a letter to ask the boss to take care of it on his behalf, and please grant Liu the title of defense envoy?" How about becoming the general manager of Jingmen Town?"

After Zhu Wu heard this, he was in awe and said with a smile: "Yes, this also prevents anyone from causing trouble in the officialdom."

Zhao Zhen laughed after hearing this and said, "Pedagogy's nickname [Zhi Duo Xing] is not for nothing."

It was agreed upon that the heroes should be stationed in Jingmen Town. Zhao Zhen said: "So, please ask the two military advisors to write down the appointment and send it to various places with their seals today."

They asked people to send paper and ink, and Zhao Zhen and the other three drafted the decree respectively. After printing it, Zhuang Ding distributed it to various places.

Zhao Zhen also called Zhao Xing, handed over the letter he wrote to Cheng Wanli of Taishan, and said: "Whatever, take this letter from me, ask a few sergeants to guard it tomorrow, and go to Dongping Mansion to pay my respects." Lord Taishan, if you have any letters or gifts, please send them as well.”

Zhao Xing took the letter and went back to look for Cheng Wan'er.

Zhao Zhen then asked: "Brother Zhu Wu, how is the naval recruitment going?"

"Don't worry, senior officials. Now we all know that joining the army not only brings a lot of salary, but also many other conveniences. Naturally, everyone is vying for the first place. There are many fishermen in the villages along the lake. When they heard that the navy was being recruited, they all signed up enthusiastically. Unfortunately, only 250 were recruited. There are still many who have not been chosen. Now they have been sent to Wanzi City to practice for a month." Zhu Wu replied.

Wu Yong said with a smile: "There are only a few cool bamboo mats, but many rich families can't buy it. The high-ranking officials first follow the army sergeants, and I don't know how many people are greedy."

"In this case, I will add another military order and ask Liu Lin to go to Wanzi City. In addition to training the sergeants, I will also let the sergeants adapt to the warships on weekdays." Zhao Zhen said, writing another military order and sending a villager to Liu Guang's residence.

Not to mention that Zhao Zhen and the others were discussing the county's military affairs in the hall, but the Liu Guang family had decided to marry Liu Huiniang. In the past few days, the whole family had been busy opening the boxes and boxes that had been brought in and selecting the dowry.

On this day, the dowry was ready, and Liu Guang and his family were chatting in the hall. Zhuang Yun and Zhong Ling, the daughters-in-law of Liu Qi and Liu Lin, couldn't help but tease Liu Huiniang, making Liu Huiniang blush, lower her head, and dare not When he spoke, he was not as smart as usual.

Mother Liu and Mrs. Liu could not help their two daughters-in-law making fun of them. Just as they were talking, a banker they brought came in and said, "Sir, Zhao Ji, the steward of the high official's family, is outside asking for an audience."

Liu Guang said: "Please come quickly."

Liu Guang's family is also a family of military commanders. It is normal for women to show up in public. They thought it was Liu Huiniang's marriage, so the female relatives did not avoid it.

I saw Zhao Ji come in, cupped his hands, took out the official document and handed it to Liu Guang, saying: "Master He Xi, today the senior officials discussed with Wu Yong and Zhu Wu and issued an order, please sit in Jingmen Town , as the battalion commander, in charge of 500 infantry troops."

Liu Guang received the military order and saw that it was indeed written with appointments, and that the deputy generals Liu Qi and Li San were the commanders of the army. Liu Guang was about to speak when Zhao Ji continued: "Listen to the senior officials, we also need to Please ask Mr. Cheng of Dongping Prefecture to take care of things on your behalf. It would be best if you can ask Mr. Feng to be the general manager of the army of Jingmen Town."

After saying that, regardless of Liu Guang's plea to stay, he resigned and was about to leave. Liu Guang said: "Manager Zhao, it's not too late to have a glass of water and wine before leaving."

Zhao Ji said: "There are other places to go today. When Madam Liu comes in, we will naturally spend more time eating and drinking in the future."

After seeing Zhao Ji off, Liu Guang frowned and handed the official document to Liu Qi.

After Liu Qi read it, he took the official document and said, "Dad, why is there no appointment of Erlang?"

After hearing this, Liu Lin took the military order from Liu Qi's hand. When he saw that his name was not there, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged: "I'm afraid that I competed with Lu Fang that day and lost by a small margin, and I couldn't win the eyes of my sister-in-law."

"Erlang doesn't need to be like this. My father and I are stationed in the army all the time, and I still need you to take care of me at home. If Erlang wants to join the army, he can wait until Xiu'er gets started and gets established, and then let his sister-in-law find a job for Erlang. "Liu Qi comforted.

Liu's mother said: "We have hands and feet, and we have a maid and a foster mother at home to take care of what we want Erlang to do at home. I am so shameless that I can ask my grandson-in-law to find a job for Erlang."

Saying that, Liu's mother was about to get up, but Liu Guang quickly stopped her. The kind words of comfort made Liu's mother calm down.

While they were discussing, they saw Zhuang Ke leading Zhao Ji in again. Liu Guang asked, "Manager Zhao, what are you doing?"

"I'd like to come again to congratulate you, Lord Xi. I also have a transfer order here. Please accept it from Erlang Liu Lin."

After hearing this, Liu Lin quickly took it over, couldn't wait to open the official document, read it, and said with a smile: "I see, my sister-in-law really knows how to make good use of people."

With that said, Liu Lin handed the official document to Liu Guang. Liu Guang read it and was also happy. He said to Liu's mother: "Mother, Erlang Shanshui really wants to lead the navy of the capital. Now the sergeants have been recruited. Just waiting for Erlang to take office."

Mother Liu and others were overjoyed after hearing this.

After seeing off Zhao Ji, Liu's mother said: "From now on, Erlang will lead the army independently, won't the family have to be separated?"

Liu Guangdao: "These days, I heard Zhuang Ding say that those who have children in the county will have to live separately when they grow up. Naturally, my family is not exempt from this custom. We took this opportunity to separate our families. The villagers who have followed us have been with us for many years. The old man had 400 acres of land at the time of the levy. Except for the few who led the army, the others could still take care of the land. Erlang also bought some land here, and the villagers were divided into five families, so they could settle them. Banker."

After hearing this, Liu's mother said: "With my family's wealth, these villagers, maids, and foster mothers can support themselves as much as they can. It's not in vain for them to go with us after all their hard work."

In a blink of an eye, June 12th came. On this day, it goes without saying that Baishi Manor was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. All the heroes from the county gathered at Baishi Manor. The banquet was all hosted by Zhu Fu himself. Fat sheep, tender chickens, stuffed geese, and even fat beef that looked like cakes were all served on vermilion plates. There are also fish and shrimps in the lake, new fruits, and colored and fine wines from the cellar, all coming up like flowing water. All the people in the village were waiting for the banquet, and they took advantage of Zhao Zhen's opportunity to have a concubine and enjoy the day.

At night, Zhao Zhen mastered the task with ease and accomplished something good, the details of which need not be listed in detail. Just looking at the frowning look on Liu Huiniang's face as she served Cheng Wan'er tea the next day, we knew what happened yesterday.

When Cheng Wan'er saw it, she scolded Zhao Zhen and asked Liu Huiniang to rest.

Zhao Zhen also felt embarrassed. Yesterday, all the heroes gathered together, so he drank too much and had no scruples during the wedding. After sending Liu Huiniang back to her room, Zhao Zhen asked the dowry maid to take care of Liu Huiniang and have a good rest, and then went to the front hall.

Yesterday was busy. Today many heroes are going back to their bases. Zhao Zhen came to see them off.

Jingyang Town and Dulonggang are far away. Chao Gai and Hua Rong, a group of heroes, came to say goodbye after breakfast. Zhao Zhen asked someone to serve the preserved apricots. These preserved apricots were not ordinary wheat yellow apricots, but made from two Han Emperor apricots in Xinghua Village. Each hero is divided into fifty. Although it cannot increase attributes, as an entry-level food, it is also a rare treasure just because of its delicious taste.

In a few years, it will be enough for these heroes to strengthen their physique.

Later, Xiao Rang and Guang Hui also came to say goodbye. The land and population registration in Jingmen Town had not yet been completed, so they did not dare to stay away for a long time.

Zhao Zhen also presented the Han Emperor with preserved apricots and said to the two of them: "In three to five days, my uncle Liu Guang, Liu Qi, and Li San will lead a battalion of soldiers to Jingmen Town to replace Master Guanghui. .Brother Tao Zongwang will also go there tomorrow to build the military camp, and secondly to survey the terrain, dig canals, and divert water from the ponds. When the time comes, the villages will also have to recruit corvees, and Brother Xiao Rang will also have to make arrangements in advance. "

"This canal is not only used for irrigation, but also to expand the Mengxi River and connect it with the water park, so as to best facilitate the movement of ships."

Xiao Rang heard this and said: "This is a big project, and money and food must be transported so that it can be carried out easily."

Zhao Zhen said: "Money and food have been prepared and will be transported with Brother Tao Zongwang tomorrow. In addition, a batch of sea salt will be sent over so that the farmers in Jingmen Town can eat cheap fine salt first. This is also a benefit of submitting to Liangshan County."

Xiao Rang smiled and said: "In this way, we won't be afraid that the villagers in Jingmen Town will not submit."

With that said, Xiao Rang took out an old book from his arms and handed it to Zhao Zhen, saying: "Master, in Eliu Village, Zheng Liu Mu heard that a senior official took concubines, and presented "Essential Art of Qi Min: Raising Geese and Ducks" Chapter "Congratulations."

world log

"Essentials for Elevating the People: Raising Goose and Ducks" (Jia Sixie, an agriculturist in the Northern Wei Dynasty, wrote "Essentials for Elevating the People", including six aspects of raising cattle, horses, donkeys and mules, sheep, pigs, chickens, geese and ducks, and fish. Chapter, this is a fragment of it, the chapter on raising geese and ducks)

If you hold on to it, you can be employed in the Gobin military service. (Limit: no more than ten per year)

Goose Bin: Good at raising geese and ducks.

Professional skills: Goose and duck raising, goose soldier (use the vigilance of geese to train them to guard, patrol, and alert their owners in time.)

After reading it, Zhao Zhen said: "Liu Mu is interested. This book is good. The county can use it. Let's appoint Liu Mu as the third elder of Jingmen Township."

Xiao Rang nodded: "It can be considered a role model."

After the two left, they feasted for another day. The other heroes from all over the country also took [Han Emperor's Apricot] preserved apricots and went back to their bases.

On the third day, Zhao Zhen and Liu Huiniang returned home, and the Liu family entertained Zhao Zhen happily. During the dinner, Zhao Zhen said to Liu Guang: "My lord, Jingmen Town is new. From now on, I will ask my aunt to garrison it."

Liu Guang said with a smile: "Don't worry, my dear son-in-law. As long as I am here, I will definitely guard Jingmen Town for your worthy son-in-law."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers Liu Tang and Xue Yong have selected 500 soldiers. I will take care of them and take them to take office. Second brother, we have to go to Wanzi City first."

Liu Lin said: "Sister-in-law, if I hadn't waited for you two to get married, I would have gone to Wanzi City long ago."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Zhao Zhen also said: "Second brother is impatient. Your navy is stationed at Yuhuangding, where the water fortress is being built. After the sergeants have practiced for one month, they will be stationed in the water fortress. In addition to training the soldiers, they also have to patrol the water fortress."

Liu Lin agreed with a smile.

Liu's mother asked: "Son-in-law, apart from a few fire workers, why is there no one in charge of the pagoda temple in the yard?"

Zhao Zhen told the story of the origin of Baota Temple, and later Guanghui went to Baozhu Temple because he had a female dependent at home and did not want to live there anymore, so the place became vacant.

After hearing this, Liu's mother said: "My dear son-in-law, I have been fasting and chanting Buddha's name for many years. Why don't I live in a temple and you can fulfill my wish?"

Zhao Zhen looked at his nephew Liu Guang, who smiled bitterly and said: "We have been trying to persuade my mother for a long time, but my mother refused to listen and wanted to serve the Buddha."

Zhao Zhen said: "It's natural for my grandmother to want to practice Buddhism. But after all, my grandmother is so old. How can she not make people worry if she practices alone in a temple?"

Liu's mother said: "It doesn't matter. There are two single women at home who have been serving me. I don't want to become a monk. I will live in the temple for a few days. I miss you. When the time comes, I will ask my grandson-in-law to send me to Jingmen. It’s the town.”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to agree and said to Liu Guang: "Don't worry, I have a son-in-law and Huiniang in the village, so they can naturally take care of my grandmother."

After hearing this, Liu's mother smiled and said: "Then it's settled. My son, you clean up and go to your appointment as soon as possible. I don't need you to worry about me."
