After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said to Zhu Wu and others: "It seems that Fan Shi still persuaded his father."

Zhu Wu smiled and said: "As long as Fan Ying is not stupid, he will naturally know that his small village cannot resist me waiting here."

Shi Kuo and others also spoke one after another, saying: "General Huwei, how dare Fan Ying, a little hunter, dare to offend General Huwei."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said, "Who will go and welcome the Fan family and his son in on my behalf?"

Guang Hui said: "Let's go to Sa's house."

Sun Guang also said: "General, I recognize Fan Ying and would like to accompany you on a trip."

Seeing Zhao Zhen nodding, Guang Hui and Sun Guang walked out of the tent. After a while, Guang Hui came in with the Fan family and his son. They saw Fan Ying, who was tall and tall, with dark skin, but there was awe in his eyebrows.

After seeing Zhao Zhen, Fan Ying and his son knelt down directly on the ground and said, "General, Fan Zhuang is willing to surrender and be a good citizen under his rule."

As he spoke, he took out a second-level [100-year-old black sesame] from his arms and raised his hands to his head: "This black sesame is not young. It was protected by a black snake in the mist after a lot of hard work. It was stolen. I have been hiding it at home, and I would like to present it to the general today to repay the kindness of the general for not killing the child. The villain also brought a cart of furs and feathers, which were accumulated by the hunters in the village over the years. 30, come to work.”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen asked Shi Ying and Shi Ying to get up, and sent someone to fetch Zhang Lanxiang, the second daughter of the Zhang family, and pointed Zhang Lanxiang to Fan Shi in front of everyone.

Fan Shi was very happy to see Zhang Lanxiang and paid homage to Zhao Zhen.

Zhu Wudao: "Fan Shi, Zhang, please listen carefully. Because the Zhang family gathered a crowd to resist, all the family members were originally forced to do hard labor. Fan Zhuang took the initiative to surrender, and the high officials were kind, so they pardoned Zhang. Shi, just wait and take care of yourself.”

Fan Shi said: "Don't worry, sir, Lan Xiang will be a member of the Fan family from now on if she marries into the Fan family."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Fan Lizheng, you took the initiative to shoot and presented a treasure Ganoderma lucidum, so I cannot but reward you. I heard that your archery skills are famous in the countryside. Today I will hire you to be an archery instructor. From now on, you will be responsible for teaching archery to the army sergeants." Art. If you get a salary from the army, you won’t have to hunt for food in the mountains every day.”

After that, he said to the crowd: "When you go back, you will also inform the villagers that the army will recruit sergeants from the two capitals. If you are interested, you can come and sign up. This sergeant will be well paid, with a salary, a salary, a salary, and enough to support him." One family. There are rewards for meritorious deeds and two sets of clothes during the New Year.”

The crowd was listening and talking a lot. Shi Kuo boldly asked: "General, I wonder where the recruited sergeants will be stationed?"

Everyone in the crowd looked at Zhao Zhen, who said: "Go to Liangshan County to practice for one month. After passing the test, you can join the army. The station will be in Jingmen Town. When the time comes, a general will be here."

After hearing this, everyone stepped forward to fight for more places. While they were making a fuss, the sergeant came in and said, "Sir, sir, the spies came across the people led by Xiaoxian Cheng and Chief Pei. They have already been brought over and are waiting outside the camp."

"Please come in quickly."

After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen introduced Xiao Rang and Pei Xuan to everyone.

Xiao Rang stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I am new here, so I have to rely on everyone to help me."

Everyone naturally knew that Xiao Rang was talking about clearing the household registration and land, and the situation was stronger than others, so naturally they did not dare to resist openly, so they all agreed.

Everyone had lunch together, and Xiao Rang asked everyone to go back and find out the household registers, village records, and fish scale atlases of each village. When the time comes, they will measure on the spot according to the household registers and fish scale albums, and check for any gaps. Xiao Rang led a group of scribes to clear Zhang and Qi Village in the town.

Zhao Zhen stayed in the camp as a deterrent.

The two villages in the town were leaderless, and the army was stationed outside the town. No one dared to resist. Surveying the land and registering the population went smoothly. Later, they registered village by village according to their distance, and a clerk was left as deputy chief. Promote various laws in Liangshan County, manage village schools, and supervise taxation.

He stayed for three days in a row. During this period, Zhao Zhen spent five points of luck to connect Fanzhuang with Jingmen Town. Fanzhuang is a barren place and they rely entirely on hunting and herding to support their family. The only commendable thing is that Fan Zhuang, a young and strong man, can draw a bow and shoot an arrow. At a distance of fifty paces, most of the shots are six or seven out of ten. No matter how far you go, the accuracy will be much worse due to insufficient bow power.

Ever since they learned about the salaries of soldiers in Liangshan, every household in Fanzhuang wanted to join the army. Relying on his archery skills, Zhao Zhen recruited all fifty-three people from Fan Village into the army. He planned to send them to Wanzi City for training and then, together with the hunters from Liu Shi Village in Shangwang Village, establish a new bow and arrow capital.

Zhao Zhen took Lu Zhishen, Ling Zhen and others by boat back to Liangshan County. Lin Chong and other horse troops also returned to Liangshan County through the fog. Only Commander Guanghui and 500 infantry were left to guard Jingmen Town, assisting Xiao Rang and Pei Xuan. People clear the land and the population.

Besides, during the days when Zhao Zhen was campaigning in Jingmen Town, Wu Yong also met people from Qingzhou in Liangshan County. The ones who came were none other than [Tiger Fighting General] Li Zhong, who had an old acquaintance with Liangshan, as well as Song Jiang's brother [Iron Fan] Song Qing, and his confidant [Ghost Seeing Sorrow] Lai Yong'er. Six Che'er were in custody.

When Yong'er and the five returned to Qingfeng Village, they opened the box and cage. Except for the gold and silver ingots in the two compartments, the rest were pearl agate, antique calligraphy and painting, embroidered silk and satin, etc. It was very troublesome to cash out.

Jian Ze revealed his hidden possessions, and the Qingzhou government began to dispatch troops and generals. There was nowhere to buy the weapons, armor and other items that were in short supply in the village, so Zhao Zhen came up with the idea of ​​​​here.

Lai Yong'er and the other three met Wu Yong who was receiving them. After greeting, Lai Yong'er asked: "Everyone in the world says that Zhao Daguan specializes in getting to know heroes in the world, helping Zhou people in need and helping people in need. Please make a recommendation on your behalf, today." Let me also wait to see the high official."

Wu Yong sighed and said, "It's unlucky that you've been waiting. There are many conflicts between the officials here and Yanggu County. They led their troops out yesterday. If everything goes well, it will only take three to five days before the officials can come back." On the twelfth day of the lunar month, the high official took a concubine, so the three brothers stayed for a few more days, and naturally they could see the high official. In the pigeon letter, brother Zhu Gui said that you are coming to purchase weapons, and the high official has entrusted the matter to him. "Little brother."

After Song Qing heard this, he cupped his hands and said: "Pedant, my brother and King Chao Tian were the best friends at the beginning, but now my brother has been killed because of murder. It has been spread in the world that we have robbed Mr. Cai Jing's birth date, but there are a lot of things these days. Few people come to vote.”

"It's just that the Qingzhou government is about to encircle and suppress our stronghold. Now we are short of soldiers and armor, so we have to come to the official to buy weapons and armor. Please brother, please sell some armor to us. Thank you very much."

Wu Yong said with some embarrassment: "It's easy to talk about swords, guns and arrows. There is really no excess armor. There are still some renovated old leather armors in the library, but there are few iron armors."

Song Qing and Lai Yong'er looked at each other, and Lai Yong'er said, "It's good if you have armor. Maybe the scholar will take me to see it?"

After hearing this, Wu Yong took the three of them to a warehouse and saw many old leather armors. Lai Yonger and Song Qing found Wu Yong. Lai Yonger said, "Brother, we all want the leather armors in this warehouse." Yes, the simple sword and spear head forged last time also cost 3,000 pieces each. Please tell me the price."

Wu Yong said: "The price is the same as last time. I make the decision. How about selling you some more armor?"

Lai Yong'er and Song Qing looked at each other. Song Qing nodded and said, "Pedant, we don't dare to stay any longer. Today we will count the armor and weapons, load the car and leave."

Wu Yong nodded and asked people to start cleaning up the inventory. 1,000 pairs of leather armor, 50 pairs of iron armor, and 3,000 each of swords and guns.
