Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 201 The Diseased Insect Tribrachia

Have a night's rest and feel refreshed.

After breakfast, Zhao Zhen got up and went to the meeting hall. Zhao Yuanli went to Xinzheng Village and Xinwang Village early in the morning to urge the villagers to grow tea.

After searching the county's yellow records, we found five households of tea farmers who came from Jiangnan East Road. Yesterday, Xiao Rang selected two men in their prime, one named Hu Jingshan and the other Wang Mingshu. After reporting to Zhao Zhen, he promoted them to Li Zheng with his seal and taught the villagers to plant tea trees.

After handling the tea tree planting matters in the two villages, Xiao Rang handed Zhao Zhen a book with the four characters "Liangshan County Chronicle" written on it.

world log
In October, I got a special prop - "Liangshan County Chronicle". You can learn about Liangshan events by reading this book.

The preface begins with:
Husband's ambition is to record the truth.

The ambitions of counties and cities, the dangers of mountains and rivers, the scarcity of land, the abundance of land and material resources, the quality of officials and teachers, and the sincerity of scholars' practice of people's customs are all recorded here.

Wu Yong, the wise man with many stars, Pei Xuan, the iron-faced man, and Xiao Rang, the scholar with the holy hand who first advocated collecting styles, followed the pictures and knew them well, and recorded them with assessment.

Officials and local people, however, are reformed, considered and adjusted, imitating the old reality and making the law more beautiful, and making corrections due to the shortcomings of the times, which are recorded in the records and contain insights. Zhi is a solid record of a city, but the tortoise's judgment is based on it.

The four of them were chatting and laughing, and Wu Yong said: "A few days ago, two people came to vote. Since the senior official was not here, I saw that these two people had some skills, so I arranged them in the east courtyard of Xixi Village. The senior official wanted to live there." See you?"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Bring us here quickly. Now we are occupying Shuibo Liangshan. We are in need of heroes. Please come and meet us quickly."

Zhao Zhen nodded and asked Xiao Rang to wait while he sent someone to Xixi Village to invite Wu Yong and Pei Xuan, and then went to the treasury of the back house.

"When I went to the main world this time, I happened to find the [100-year-old Huangshan Maofeng] weighing one kilogram. Although it cannot increase the spiritual attributes for you, Xuexue, and Pei Xuan, fortunately, it tastes very good and can relieve fatigue and improve travel time. , Wrap a couple of them and take them back to try.”

Written by Xiao Rang

The imperial court above is a true record, and the Yishi is a trustworthy history. If in the future this gentleman carefully examines the rise and fall, cultivates the political system, guard against the slightest, and ensure that the declining ones will advance to the prosperous days, and the prosperous ones will not decline, then our city will Fortunately.

Zhao Zhen read through it and said to Xiao Rang: "Brother, with this county annals, from now on the spring and autumn taxes, the collection of corvees, there are well-documented records. The two brothers have worked hard and have made great achievements. They should be credited with one merit."

In the second year of Chonghe reign of Emperor Song Dynasty, he was in Yihai and Mengdong.

Zhao Zhen said: "I wonder what these two people are called for?"

Xiao Rang smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the reward, sir." Zhao Zhen sent Zhao Xing to Cheng Wan'er to ask for tea while he and Xiao Rang talked in the hall.

After a while, Wu Yong and Pei Xuan rode to Baishi Manor. Everyone saw the gift. Zhao Zhen took out the two boundary heart stones he had just taken out and handed them to everyone, saying: "Brothers, this is a gift from Master Lu Zhishen. The two boundary heart stones were obtained from the Crock Temple and the Baozhu Temple. These two stones are activated by luck and become two mountains." After speaking, he looked at Wu Yong and the others.

"One is named Xue Yong, a native of Luoyang, Henan. His grandfather was a former military officer in the public account of Lao Zhong. He was not allowed to be promoted because he offended his colleagues. Therefore, he lived in the rivers and lakes, making a living by using guns and sticks and selling medicine. He was known as [Sick Big Bug]. "

"I heard from Xue Yong that these two people have been looking for a living in Jiangzhou recently. They heard that high-ranking officials are looking for talented people here, regardless of their origins, so they came all the way."

"The other one is called Hou Jian. Because he is dark, thin and agile, he is nicknamed [Branchman]. He is a tailor by trade, and he also likes to dance with guns and sticks. He once worshiped Xue Yong as his teacher."

After hearing this, Xiao Rang and Pei Xuan nodded, and the four of them reached an agreement on the next direction of expansion.

Below it is written about the mountains, rivers and lakes, the population of each village, the fields and the output of the workshops.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother Xiao Rang, now that Shuibo and Liangshan have been taken over, do you have any plans next?"

Xiao Rang said: "While the high official was away, I discussed with my brothers Xuexue and Pei Xuan that the south is a hidden danger after all. This year, the sergeants of each department will train with peace of mind for the winter. Next spring, we will explore a lot. We must be aware of the good and bad. The situation will not change suddenly and we will not be caught off guard.”

Expand the scroll and read it, write down the facts directly, without embellishment, take into account the complexity of people's livelihood, the vastness and narrowness of the land, the sincerity of customs, the abundance of products, the increase and loss of tribute, the gains and losses of official administration, and the prosperity of humanities. , clearly prepared, and indeed well-founded.

Xiao Rang was still deep in thought after hearing this. Wu Yong said: "Master, these two mountains are the best. No matter good or bad, they are also a barrier when placed in the south. I heard brother Bao Xu said that this mountain falls into The fog and the fog-shrouded area automatically move to the south. In this way, even if it is a dangerous place in the south, it is further away from the White Stone Valley. "

After hearing this, Wu Yong got up and walked out. When Xiao Rang saw the two of them, he also got up and left.

Zhao Xing hurriedly stepped forward, handed over two tea cans, one large and one small respectively, and said to Wu Yong and the others: "You three adults, the small one is [Centennial Huangshan Mao Feng], and the big one is a bud." One leaf is the best [Huangshan Maofeng].”

The three of them took the tea, thanked Zhao Zhen, and went about their business. Zhao Zhen waited for two quarters of an hour. Wu Yong came forward with two men. When they saw Zhao Zhen, they knelt on the ground with a thump. They each told their origins and asked Zhao Zhen to take them in.

Zhao Zhen stepped forward to help the two of them, asked them to sit down, and said: "To be honest with you two brothers, I have a big water pond here, surrounded by fog, and I need the help of heroes like these two brothers."

After hearing this, Xue Yong and Hou Jian cupped their hands and said, "But according to the orders of the high officials, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Zhao Zhen said: "I don't know what ideas you two brothers have, just put them forward."

Xue Yong and Hou Jian looked at each other, and Xue Yong said: "Since ancient times, high-ranking officials have learned literary and martial arts and sold them to the emperor's family. The villain's ancestor was a military officer. The villain has been practicing art since he was a child. After living in the rivers and lakes, he left his job as a performer. Now he is a high-ranking official. With support, I am willing to serve in the army.”

Hou Jian continued: "I am a high-ranking official. I am a low-level tailor. Because I love stabbing and wielding spears, I learned spear and stick skills from Master Xue. I just want to make a living under a high-ranking official. I don't dare to expect anything else."
