Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

But he said that Zhao Zhen was naturally very happy to have obtained such an inheritance as "The Story of Wrestling". Such guides have not been seen since "The Collection of Small Animals".

Of course, this is also related to the fact that after the expansion of Liangshan County, Zhao Zhen could not cover everything and treat everyone equally. If you communicate less, you will naturally understand less about each person.

Zhao Zhen did not hesitate about this. He practiced martial arts for half the day, dealt with county affairs or patrolled around for the other half, and took care of the spiritual fields at the bottom of the valley of Baishi Manor. The time during the day did not pass in vain. The prosperity of Liangshan County is proof of this.

That night, the three of them lingered together for a long time before falling asleep.

The next day, after breakfast, Zhao Zhen and his party set off for Liangshan County.

On the way, they met a group of farmers, guarding seven or eight carriages. They met Zhao Zhen, but it turned out that it was Cheng Waner who ordered these cloths, beddings, furniture and other items to be sent to Jinlebo and Xiulebo, along with a letter. seal up.

Zhao Zhen saw that the letter was not sealed, so he opened it and read it. The letter actually agreed with what he had thought. They were afraid that Jin Lebo and Xiu Lebo would have no money left, so they used these as dowries and went to Baishi Manor with the wedding procession.

Passing by Xixi Village, Wu Sanniang was sent to the hospital, and the others dispersed after returning to Baishi Manor.

Cheng Wan'er had heard that Zhao Zhen wanted to take brocade and embroidered silk as concubines. Yesterday, he asked the villagers to clean up the White Stone Manor. In a year, they took wives and concubines four or five times. Zhao Yuanli and others were naturally familiar with this. In just one day, Baishi Manor was decorated with joy.

After Zhao Zhen returned to the village, he first went to Cheng Waner's residence. After all, I had two concubines in one trip. I couldn't escape this, so I had to talk about it myself.

After entering the house, Zhao Zhen was still hesitating about what to say. Cheng Wan'er said, "Ms. sir, why is the date for taking the concubine so hasty?"

Seeing that Cheng Wan'er didn't look angry, Zhao Zhen said: "Madam, the two sisters Jinlebo and Xiulebo just want to find a backer, so..."

Cheng Wan'er said: "Ms., I'm not blaming my husband for taking a concubine. It's just that life is too stressful and the two sisters have no relatives or friends here. The dowry shop must prepare something for the two of them. Only in this way can they look good. The county It’s not good for everyone to look down on the two sisters today.”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said, "My lady is very attentive. She and I will definitely be moved when they see her."

Facing the magnanimous Cheng Wan'er, Zhao Zhen didn't want to say much on this matter and said, "I heard that a black clam the size of a pot lid was just dug out in the swamp in the south?"

Cheng Wan'er said: "That's right. No one in the county has ever seen such a big clam. When it was delivered from the south, it caused a sensation in the countryside along the way and attracted many people to see it. It happened that the hero Zhu Gui asked Taoist Master Dong to count the days. After asking, I found out that the family wanted to import it. Doesn’t it mean that the two sisters are getting married and bringing in wealth?”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "Is there any other explanation?"

"I heard what Taoist Master Dong said that day: 'There are black clams flying up and down the five mountains. Huang Di and Wuchengzi traveled to Hanshan and found black clams sitting on high seats, so they knew it and tested it.' Yuan Guang was also there at the time, and he also agreed. Dao: "The Supplementary Records" records: During the reign of King Zhao, his country came to offer sacrifices. The king took Baozhang water, washed the sand and sighed: "The hanging sun and moon have come." ’”

"I saw that they were serious about what they said, so I read the ancient books specifically, just as they said. It was recorded in the book that black clams give birth to pearls, and the pearls are as black as lacquer. I don't know whether they are true or false. This black clam was placed by the lotus pond, and the official Do you want to see this black clam?"

Zhao Zhen said: "I was surprised when I heard Zhu Gui say this."

With that said, the two of them went down the mountain to see the black clams in the lotus pond at the bottom of the valley.

World Log:

Black clam (The clam is a thousand years old, and the beads are getting lighter and thinner.)

Race: clam

Level: Level 3 and Level 5

Attributes: Strength 25, Constitution 33, Agility 3, Spirit 3

Skill: Pregnancy Pearl

This attribute is too scientific. With his spirit, he can't be a fool. Zhao Zhen deliberately said loudly: "How to get pearls from this black clam?"

Cheng Wan'er heard this and said: "My lord, this Beng Dong Taoist priest once said that he is at least a thousand years old. I am afraid he has developed spiritual wisdom. It has never caused harm to others, and it is more of a blessing. Besides, there are many pearls in the family, so why would my lord hurt him?" life."

Zhao Zhen said: "The largest pearls plucked by pearl divers are only six cents, and they are not even considered treasures. This black clam is so big, there must be more than seven or eight pearls inside. It must be very good to dig it out and make it into jewelry for the lady." Otherwise, it won’t spit it out on its own.”

Just as he was talking, the black clam slowly opened its shell and spit out a bead. I don't know whether it was smart or stupid.

Cool beads for cooling off the summer heat (second level, black clam beads, black as paint, one foot in diameter, with round and flowing waves.)

Effect 1: Cooling (holding this bead in your arms, your body will feel slightly cool during the hot summer months.)

Effect 2: Hallucination, waves flowing, illusion +2.

Effect 3: Match it, wealth +5.

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed when he saw it. He naturally didn't believe that such a big black clam could only give birth to one bead. I wanted to force the black clam to spit out a few more beads, but I was afraid that I would not keep my word and make the black clam suspicious, so I said: "This black clam is quite smart. From now on, I will stay in this pool. Feed some aquatic plants, fish, shrimps and the like, and it will naturally breed pearls in the future. Madam, please ask a villager to take care of it." She said and handed the [Heat Cooling Bead] in her hand to Cheng Wan'er.

Cheng Wan'er took the bead and said, "This bead is so refreshing."

Zhao Zhen said: "It is also a treasure. It is most comfortable to keep it in the house when the weather is like this. Just keep it here, my wife."

Seeing that the black clam was interesting, Zhao Zhen was no longer in trouble. He held hands with Cheng Wan'er and returned to his residence.

Before drinking two cups of tea, Zhao Yuanli came closer and said, "Sir, Mr. Zhao Shiqi wants to see you."

Zhao Zhen was stunned. Could it be that Xue Lihong and Colorful Golden Pheasant had good news? Zhao Zhen said something to Cheng Wan'er and then got up and followed Zhao Yuanli down the mountain to the meeting hall.

After seeing the ceremony, without waiting for Zhao Zhen to ask, Zhao Shiqilang said: "Master, I have asked Brother Li Ji to help me these days. I have been searching for falcons and other raptors in the mountains. Although I have not yet found the eagle's nest, I have found it." Another gain was that they found a lot of wild pigeons on a cliff on the mountain. Brother Li Ji climbed up and brought down more than ten young pigeons. These young pigeons are confident that they can be tamed as homing pigeons. I wonder where the officials want to raise them. "

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but ask: "Why do you want to ask where you are raised?"

Zhao Shiqilang said: "Your Excellency, this carrier pigeon can deliver messages by knowing the way. As long as it does not go through the fog and travels thousands of miles along the official road, this carrier pigeon can fly back to its residence. Therefore, this carrier pigeon must be determined." The most commonly used method is to send pigeons to different places and then fly them when needed.

"In addition, there are two methods, sending letters between two fixed places, and sending letters from different places to a certain area. These two methods are slower. Usually, the domestication of homing pigeons is the first one. I don’t know what senior officials know about it. Any thoughts on this?”

Zhao Zhen said: "I know the former, but I have never seen the latter two, especially the last one. What's the point? What method does Seventeenth Lang prefer?"

Zhao Qilang said: "Master, this is a way to travel between two fixed pigeon lofts. During training, the pigeon lofts are fed in Xixi Village, but the pigeon lofts are not allowed to enter at night. They can only go to Zhujiagang. If things continue like this, the pigeons can travel between the two fixed lofts. Deliver the letter."

"As for the third type, it is more difficult. The pigeons must be carefully selected. For this kind of pigeons, the pigeonhouse can be built on a military vehicle and can be moved freely within a certain range. Pigeons released from other places can fly back on their own. "

"It's better to start with the simplest one, after all, there are not many young pigeons. When more homing pigeons are bred, it won't be too late to try the latter two."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Go to the county magistrate Xiao Rang and ask him to choose a place on the edge of Xixi Village to build a pigeonhouse tower."

"Choose some smart boys and ask the brothers to teach them carefully. In the future, they will be placed in various places to breed carrier pigeons and take care of the pigeon lofts. In the future, the carrier pigeons will deliver messages more than ten times faster than galloping horses. After the carrier pigeons are developed, the brothers' future jobs will be The salary is the same as that of the junior steward in Zhuangzhong."

After hearing this, Zhao Shiqilang said happily: "Officials, don't worry, this little guy will naturally take care of this matter. In a year's time, the carrier pigeon will be tamed, and by then, the pigeon driver who raises pigeons and guards the tower will be able to do his job alone. With these helpers, The latter two kinds of homing pigeons can also be domesticated slowly.”
