Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

As soon as he got up, Cang Tou came in and said to Wang Gongren: "Madam, Yan Tongzhi, who came to visit a few days ago, is outside."

Wang Gongren said: "Please come in quickly."

After a while, Yan Shude came in and saw Li. Yan Shude said, "Sir, why are you here?"

Zhao Zhen told him his purpose. Yan Shude said: "A high official has a keen eye, and my aunt is very knowledgeable. She will be able to fully demonstrate her talents under a high official."

Xu Qingniang smiled and said: "My family stepped on it first. Should I let you get the scriptures?"

After Yan Shude heard this, he quickly handed the baggage on his shoulders to Xu Qingniang.

Xu Qingniang took it and took out two volumes of Buddhist scriptures and handed them to Wang Gongren.

Zhao Zhen said: "Gongren and I will discuss Buddhist scriptures, and I will take the first step. Tomorrow Qingniang can come to the military camp and follow me back to Liangshan."

Yan Shude said: "Master, when I entered the city, I heard from the small colonel guarding the city gate that today the army will reward me with wine and meat. I will also go to the military camp. I will go back to Liangshan tomorrow."

At the beginning of the day, the pork was stewed in a large pot and cut into large pieces, and the village wine purchased in the city was served in a large bowl. Around the bonfire, the soldiers had a lot of fun.

On the second day, Zhao Zhen gathered Xu Qingniang and Kong Hou's two sons: Kong Changsheng and Kong Weisheng, and rushed to Liangshan together.

Kong Changsheng and Kong Weisheng were not well-known for their talents. Zhao Zhen just thought at first that after all, he had studied since he was a child and had a good family background. After some training, he would be able to be the chief bookkeeper of a county.

Kong Hou's parting words made Zhao Zhen become interested in the two of them.

"When ordinary people are not serving as officials at home, they should consider serving their relatives as filial piety. When they are serving as officials in the court, they should consider serving the emperor as filial piety. Being able to serve relatives and serving the emperor can be said to be able to establish oneself, and then one can become famous. Now that you two brothers are serving as officials, Keep it in mind.”

While Zhao Zhen was resting on the road, he looked at the two of them with his eyes open.

After another conversation, Zhao Zhen discovered that the two of them were proficient in magic. Square field, corn, difference, Shaoguang, business merit, average loss, equation, surplus and deficiency, and other essentials are all known.

Zhao Zhen had already made plans in his mind about where the two of them would go. When he returned to Baishi Manor, the sergeant had his own arrangements to go with him. Zhao Zhen called Xiao Rang, Pei Xuan and others to explain their trip to Yuncheng.

No one has any doubts about Xu Qingniang's appointment as the county magistrate of Liangshan County. After all, there are commanders in the army. As for the two brothers Kong Changsheng and Kong Weisheng, several of them wanted to be under their command.

Zhao Zhen interrupted everyone's argument and said: "Both of them are good at magic. I plan to send them to the Hu Cheng Office to make a hole in the Sihu Military Hall. Don't worry about anything else. I only need these two things. The two brothers supervised it. First, they were asked to teach the artillery battalion sergeants how to calculate the land."

"When the land accounting is clear and the maps are drawn up, the two of them can also teach in the state, or choose one of them to serve in the Department of Records and Military Affairs, or to serve in Xiatou Township County."

Hu Cheng said happily: "It is naturally good for high-ranking officials to use the strengths of these two people. With these two people, the map of the six counties will definitely be drawn next year."

Zhao Zhen then asked Xiao Rang: "Is there any news about Wu Xuexue?"

Xiao Rang said: "Since Yong'er left, Song Gongming has released the official roads between Laiwu Prison and Xintai City. It's too bad that Yong'er sued for peace and sent people to attack the angel. Fortunately, Chao Tuanlian protected him and captured him. [Spray Leopard] Zhang Daneng.”

Zhao Zhen said: "This person's name is [Gui Jianchou], and he is naturally not easy to deal with. Now that the official route has been opened, I plan to send someone to purchase a batch of Qingzhou goods."

Jiang Jing heard this and said, "What do you want to purchase? You have to go to Qingzhou."

Zhao Zhen said: "Qingzhou is rich. If nothing else, these fairy-patterned damasks were originally offered as tribute, but now Song Gongming must have a lot of them. Qingzhou dried persimmons and dried dates are also rare desserts. Now that there is war, Qingzhou's golden Silver is precious, it would be better if we could take the opportunity to buy some treasures. Now that the water is gradually freezing and the salt transportation has stopped, it’s time to ask [Grimace] Duxing to come over.”

After hearing this, everyone agreed.

Zhao Zhen then asked: "Does each county have treasures to acquire now?"

Jiang Jingdao: "According to the instructions of the high officials, the dead pawns in the pawn shops in each county seemed to have some origins. Many were redeemed and kept in the treasury. In addition, each county also sent things that were presented to the court in previous years. "

"What's all there?"

"Shou Zhang, Yanggu, and Zhongdu counties paid tribute to silk and donkey-hide gelatin, Fan County paid tribute to donkey-hide gelatin and pinellia, and Yuncheng paid tribute to donkey-hide gelatin and pinellia. The autumn taxes of each county were also paid to the treasury. The Zhang family in Fan County paid tribute to a white pheasant. This is an auspicious sign," Jiang Jing replied.

Zhao Zhen asked: "White pheasant?" Xiao Rang said: "Yes, we have seen it and we are sure. Now Zhang Chen, the legitimate son of the Zhang family, is still waiting for a high official in the county."

"Can I ask for anything?" Zhao Zhen asked.

"The Zhang family is good at roasting chicken and makes a living from it. It is considered a squire's family in Zhangzhuang Township. Zhang Chen's poetry, writing and policy are not outstanding. I would like to use this to seek the position of a township head." Xiao Rang said.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "How about the director?"

"Looking at each other, he is very loyal." Xiao Rang replied.

Hu Chengdao: "Brother-in-law, why are you in trouble? Now that you are in charge of a state, this auspiciousness comes at the right time. Together with the black pheasant you brought back, you can publicize it. The birth of such auspiciousness is exactly God's will. What's more, this is exactly what happened. The opportunity of a thousand gold horse bones.”

Pei Xuan also said: "It's not bad to say that I will join the army. Zhang Chen doesn't need to work in Zhangzhuang Township. He just needs to find a big township in Fan County. This township is just about household registration, taxes, money, grain, and payment. I also asked Magistrate Wang Lun to keep a closer eye on the situation in the county. He is not the one who can make decisions in the township. As long as he does not act recklessly and bully the township, this township chief will be better than those who are still in office now. "

Zhao Zhen listened and nodded in agreement. Zhao Zhen happened to have heard Gao Hu say this.

First, the white pheasant approaches the pheasant. Bai Zhi cries and everything revives.

Secondly, the silver hook is affected by the wind and damages the feathers of the falcon. The wing feathers fall off and can be used as arrows. The arrows will hit the target.

Everyone discussed again and asked Zhang Chen to present a gift tomorrow, and asked Zhao Shiqilang to wait for an opportunity to release the black pheasant, so that the two pheasants would appear, and asked the singers in various restaurants to preach and promote Zhao Zhen's virtues.

On the second day, the ceremony was held in Liangshan City. Now many scholars and warriors who had come in advance were staying in restaurants and inns in the city. White pheasants and black pheasants showed up, and scholars and warriors rushed to spread their praises. For a time, Zhao Zhenxian's name spread throughout the state.

Many scholars and warriors who were still hesitating put aside their worries and settled down to prepare for the imperial examination in February.

The news that Zhang Chen was awarded the position of head of Luji Township also spread throughout the state. In addition to lamenting Zhang Chen's good luck, people who have treasures at home can't help but think about it. The public sentiment, which was uneasy due to the clearing of land and population after state demarcation, suddenly calmed down.

White Pheasant (First level, auspicious beast, if the king's virtues are on the four expressions, then white pheasant will be seen.)

Race: Chicken

Level: Level 1 and Level 7

Attributes: Strength 8, Constitution 10, Agility 19, Spirit 15

Skills: jumping, flying

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Rang asked people to publicize the laws and taxes of Liangshan Prefecture, and emphasized the rewards for reporting people who concealed land and property. He actually received several reports.

The city was really lively for several days because of the auspicious offerings.

In the next few days, Zhao Zhen's planned trip to Zhongdu County had to be interrupted.

Every day, neighboring squires came to pay their respects. Zhao Zhen patiently received them all one by one.

It wasn't until Wang Dingliu and Li San came back with a group of heroes they had recruited that Zhao Zhen withdrew.

Unfortunately, only two of the six people recommended by Tong Wei and Tong Meng came, Zhang Shun [Baitiao in the Waves], Zhang Heng [Chuanhuoer], Li Jun [Hunjianglong], and Mu Mu [Unblocked] Hong, [Xiao Zhelan] Mu Chun, and [Judge] Li Li were not willing to stay away from their homeland.

On the contrary, Wu Yong recommended him to be imprisoned at the provincial level in Jiangzhou and Jiangzhou. [Shenxing Taibao] Dai Zong saw Wu Yong's letter and did not refuse. He resigned from his job that day, packed up and called a small prison [Black Tornado] Li Kui comes with him.

The Three Hegemons of Jieyang were used to living freely in Jieyang Town. Although they heard about the reputation of [Xiao Mengchang] and Zhao Zhen, they all declined at first. Yuyazi Zhang Shun was also persuaded by Dai Zong, and Zhang Heng was attracted by Zhang Shun.

In the hall of Baishi Manor, Zhao Zhen took the wine and met the four people. Without being polite, Li Kui said loudly: "Master, are my mother and brother really here?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Li Kui, please be patient. I have sent someone to pick up your mother and brother to meet you here."

"I fled because I killed someone. I don't worry about anything else, except my mother. Brother Dai Zong asked me to come and vote for a high official. Speaking of which, I heard this brother Li San talk about it. In Baizhang Village, Yizhou, There was also a man named Li Da who took his mother to seek refuge with a senior official and asked Nian Jia about his appearance. It was my mother and brother. "

Bao Xu said aside: "It is indeed a coincidence."

Li Kui looked up and said, "What an ugly man."

"You are no better looking than me."

A ferocious grimace with a face as deep as the bottom of a pot, with overlapping eyes exposing wolfish lips. He has a body as thick as a black bear, and a naughty body like an iron bull. He has red and yellow eyebrows, and his eyes are messy with red silk.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Dai Zong said at this time: "Officials, why don't you see Wu Xuexue?"

Zhao Zhen said: "He is now stationed in Xintai County, Yizhou, in charge of the troops and guard against Qingzhou bandits. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, I will invite all brothers here to celebrate, and we will naturally meet each other then."
