Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Praise for poetry:

Shiben Dengzhou Orion, born to be brave and heroic.

It is as strong as a deer running through the mountains and ridges, and the elk will be frightened when it sees it.

He holds a lotus iron boring machine in his hand and a cattail leaf-pointed knife hanging from his waist.

The leopard-skin skirt and the tiger-stringed sash show that the young man is in trouble.

In June, after spending 20 points of luck, the Dengzhou Orions [Two-Headed Snake] Xie Zhen and [Two-tailed Scorpion] Jie Bao escaped from prison and were on the run. They heard about the reputation of [Xiao Mengchang] Zhao Zhen and came to join them.

Looking at the two people mentioned in the diary, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, aren't they the same heroes that Yang Lin met when he went to Dengzhou to invite [Chu Linlong] Zou Yuan and [One-horned Dragon] Zou Run.

Looking at this month's Earth Demon Summoning Quota, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but wonder if it was probably still the same group of people.

After spending 10 points of luck, [Sick Yuchi] Sun Li heard that Liangshan County was recruiting talents and came to seek refuge.

As expected, it was this group of people who came together.

Although he didn't know what happened, Zhao Zhen didn't care about the extra 10 points of luck consumed. After all, Liangshan County's luck had already exceeded 500 in these days. This is also the reason why Zhao Zhen and Wu Yong discussed expanding overseas. With a large number of people and a vast land, the products are naturally abundant, and this luck will increase quickly.

After spending 1 point of luck, Zhao Zhen also used the ordinary summons. In these days, there were no outstanding talents in the successive ordinary summons, but there was no banker, fisherman, or hunter. Zhao Zhen was not disappointed either, he just thought it was to increase the household registration under the rule.

The next day, Zhao Zhen got up early and found Wu Yong, Xiao Rang, and Zhu Wu waiting there in the front hall. After seeing Li, Zhao Zhen said: "Two brothers, what do the two brothers here in Jingmen Town think?"

Zhu Wu stood up first and said: "Sir, the scholar told me about this matter last night. I thought about it. What the senior official said is that with the convenience of the navy and the care of the Dongping Mansion, in my opinion, the expansion of the land can be done It is indeed feasible. However, the army will be dispersed in the future. If the boss is transferred in the future, he may be targeted and difficult to defend. "

Xiao Ran nodded in agreement and said, "Brother Zhu Wu is right. At first, we thought about occupying the entire Liangshan Mountain. We can attack when we advance and defend when we retreat. Now that we want to occupy the coast of Xia Shuibo, we really have to consider defensive problems. Now there are tens of thousands of sergeants in the county. , even compared with the state capital, only the frontier military state has so many soldiers and horses. Although it is enough to collect taxes and trade with other countries, it is not easy to expand the army. "

Zhao Zhen listened and nodded distressedly: "I have naturally considered what brother Xiao Rang said. If we cannot expand the army, let alone defense, we will not be able to clarify the population and fields of the villages. Besides, so many brothers are coming. You must find a career for your brothers."

After all, Zhao Zhen knew that after his third level, the fantasy world would materialize. The bigger the land and the more people, the greater the benefits you will get.

Wu Yong said: "Sir, I have thought about this last night. Dulonggang, Jingyang Town, and Shijie Lake are now isolated. Naturally, it is not appropriate to reduce the number of troops in these three places. There are only 500 people in Heihu Temple Town." There is no need to adjust. If the surrounding areas of Shuibo are gradually occupied in the future, manpower can be gradually allocated to the three locations of Haoshanfeng Zuojunzhai, Xuefengfeng Youjunzhai, and Baozhu Temple. "

"Liangshan has been isolated from the rest of the world for countless years, and all travel is by ship. The high-ranking officials do not pay much and treat villagers well. Villages everywhere are grateful. In order to buy more land, young men in the village enthusiastically join the army. There is a Wanzi City military camp on the mountain. The left and right military camps are still as large as one battalion, which is enough. "

"There are swamps at the south end of Baozhu Temple, making it inconvenient to travel. From now on, we can just keep the size of one battalion. The scale of the navy needs to be expanded. In addition to what was said yesterday about Liu Lin forming a navy, we also need to recruit water wars. Our heroes will be sending reinforcements everywhere from now on, thanks to the power of the navy.”

Xiao Rang said: "It's a good idea. Liangshan is stable, so we have no worries. It's a pity that the village where the official lives is not on Liangshan."

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "It is backed by a lake, with mountains to the west, swamps to the south, and fog to the east. There is only one official road to the west, and the terrain is pretty good. Today, the county government is stationed in Dongxi Village and Xixi Village. Instead, we should build a new city wall and enclose the village where the officials live, so that it will look like a city in the future."

Xiao Rang said: "Building the city wall will cost a lot of money and food. Every village has earthen walls, so there is no rush. Let Tao Zongwang's [Craftsman Camp] select a site first, bake green bricks and big stones in advance, and recruit corvees after autumn. , build slowly.”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Since the two brothers have no objections, we will launch an army to conquer Jingmen Town tomorrow. Brother Wu Yong will follow me, and brother Zhu Wu will follow Coach Lin to serve as military counselor. Brother Xiao Rang is here ···”

Just as he was talking, Ding An knocked on the door and came in. Before Zhao Zhen could say anything, Ding An handed the pigeon letter to Zhao Zhen. This Ding An is the eldest son of Ding Chou, the former eighth manager of Xixi Village in Zhao Zhen's house. Because Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Shiqilang to train carrier pigeons, Ding An performed well and knew everything about the village, so he promoted him to the village's special manager. The little boss who sends and receives pigeon mail supervises four pigeon drivers.

Zhao Zhen had already stipulated that the pigeon letter should be delivered immediately no matter morning or evening, so as soon as he received the pigeon letter, Ding An sent it over.

Zhao Zhen opened the pigeon letter, took a look at it, and waved Ding An down. He casually handed the pigeon letter to Wu Yong and the others. After the three of them read it, Zhao Zhen asked, "What do the three brothers think?"

Wu Yong smiled and said: "It seems that this birth date is destined to be a high official."

You wonder why Wu Yong talks like this, but it turns out that this letter was sent by Dulonggang Zhugui, and the content of the letter is unusual.

It turns out that the letter said: Qingzhou uses gold and pearls to buy armor, weapons and horses.

Zhao Zhen asked: "How about this?"

Zhu Wudao: "Master, I still have thousands of sets of old leather armors in my treasury. They were all seized and replaced with new leather armors made in the armor-making workshop. After the last transaction, I was thinking about these leather armors. It may be useful in the future. Brother Hou Jian also had it repaired, but the quality is not as good as the 500 pairs of armors last time. "

Xiao Rang said: "I originally thought of leaving thirty or twenty pairs of these leather armors in each village, numbered like the plain swords, as armaments for the rural soldiers. Now that there are people coming to buy them, the rural soldiers use rattan armor instead. that is."

Zhao Zhen said: "It's a pity that it will take a month or two for this batch of rattan to be woven into armor. Otherwise, a batch can be sold to Song Gongming."

Wu Yong said: "In the armor-making workshop, iron armor and leather armor are produced every day, and there is no major war in the county. It's good to sell these old armors. From this point of view, war is probably going to break out in Qingzhou."

Xiao Rang said: "After this transaction, regardless of success or failure, I am afraid that Qingzhou people will not come to buy armor again."

"Oh?" Zhao Zhen asked doubtfully.

"If Song Jiang's group loses, they will naturally be wiped out. If they win, the captured army armor will be enough for use." Xiao Rang said.

"Should we sell more armor to him this time? The price of a pair of old armors and new ones will be unmatched in the future." Zhao Zhen said.

Zhu Wu said: "It is indeed feasible to dispatch a group of armors from the Left and Right Military Village and Baozhu Temple."

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "I will reply right away and ask brother Zhu Gui to send people here. The expedition will not take place tomorrow. The scholar will stay to receive the people from Qingzhou and find out the details of Song Gongming in Qingzhou. If there is any shortage of armor, first from Haoshanfeng Zuojunzhai and Xuefengfeng Youjunzhai were mobilized to mainly use leather armor. It is best not to use iron armor. After all, it is not easy to make. Xiao asked the brothers to prepare. If everything goes well, Feige will send the message and the brothers will take the people. Clear the land and register the population."

Everyone nodded and went down to prepare.
