Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Guang Hui met Zhao Zhen and came forward to meet Li. Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Guang Hui, what is this?"

Guang Hui said: "Master, no, from now on I will call the mayor."

Zhao Zhen was stunned after hearing this, and said with doubt on his face: "Brother, how did I become the mayor of the township?"

Guang Hui said: "More than that, village owner, let's resettle these refugees first, and then I'll talk in detail." As he was talking, Zhao Yuanli sent Yang Mazi to Zhang Dachou and came back. After meeting many villagers, Zhao Zhen said: "Yuanli Li, we will do some statistics on these people as usual, and at the same time, we will boil water and make porridge so that these people can rest first."

Zhao Yuanli agreed and began to organize nearby villagers to help with the resettlement.

Zhao Zhen took Guang Hui to the front hall to talk and served tea. Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother Guang Hui, how is your journey going smoothly?"

Guanghui drank the tea and replied: "Master, everything went well when we left. When we arrived at the county seat, we went to the craftsman's office first and inspected the custom-made Buddha statue. It was in good condition and paid the final payment. Because we had to go to the county government to present it. The thief's head was used to postpone the loading of the truck, and only two villagers were allowed to take care of it here.

The Sa family took the remaining people and went to the city gate and the notice board to look at it. Sure enough, there was a notice for the three wanted people, and the list was revealed at that time. I took the heads to the county government office. The county magistrate was sitting in the court. He paid homage to the county magistrate in court and held out three heads. Many people in front of the government office who were watching the scene spread the word. They all came out to see it and it was a commotion. Yuncheng County. I saw people with their shoulders on their backs, making noises, and crowding the streets and alleys, all coming to see the leader of the thief.

The county magistrate sent someone to inspect the heads and confirmed that they were indeed the heads of Scarface, Slender Monkey and Mangy-headed Turtle.

The county official's office said: 'Monk, where did you get the head? ’

The Sa family replied: "Thanks to the blessing of my husband, the Sa family is the head coach of Zhao Zhenli Zhengcun in Xixi Village. Because it is adjacent to Shuibo Liang Mountain, he was often harassed and robbed by it."

This year, the fog that separated us was lifted. We were worried about the invasion of bandits, so we sent extra manpower to patrol the surrounding areas. As expected, we captured six of the minions who came to investigate. Zhao Lizheng summoned me and several other instructors to join the strong farmers in the village. Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, at night, He made a sneak attack on the water bandits on Liangshan Mountain, killed the bandit leader, and came to the county to ask for a reward. ’

Many people in the hall and downstairs cheered. The magistrate then gave a reward of one thousand guan to the Sa family. He also ordered people to hang the three heads in turn at the city gates for three days.

After dealing with the matters of heads and rewards, the county magistrate asked again: "Monk, how many household registrations are there in Xixi Village now?" ’ Because I didn’t know clearly, I just said: ‘The Sa family doesn’t know. Counting the number of households rescued, there should be less than a thousand households. ’

The county official asked again: "How many rural soldiers are there in Xixi Village now?" ’ Sajia replied: ‘About a hundred people. ’

The county magistrate asked again: "Monk, please explain in detail how Zhao Lizheng used his troops, so that we can all listen." ’ Sajia explained the process in front of the hall.

The county magistrate said: "What a great Zhao Lizheng, he is really brave and resourceful. It's a pity that we were separated by the mist and we didn't have the opportunity to meet him." Such a hero cannot be buried. Now I recommend him a future. You go back and tell him. The county recommends him to be the commander of a battalion. He will recruit a battalion of sergeants and appoint a deputy. Protect the boundary between Shuibo Liangshan and Xixi Village.

There is also a township in this boundary. He is then appointed as the township chief to take charge of the political and religious culture of the township. He recommends those who are kind, filial and courageous, and denounces those who are unfilial, disloyal, arrogant, lewd and violent and do not need to issue orders. ’

After hearing this, the Sa family was very happy. The county magistrate added: "The county's finances are also very tight, and there are no spare weapons and armor. Township Chief Zhao needs to prepare them by himself." Now in the land of one township, the original autumn tax was four-tailed four-tailed carps. Now it has been upgraded from one village to one township, and the tax has doubled since then.

The county magistrate finally said: "Don't say that this county is unreasonable. This year we will still pay the four tails as originally planned. Furthermore, there are more than a hundred households in the county who have fled. You are allowed to recruit those who are willing to go." ’

This is how the thirty or so households with a hundred people living outside came to be. "

As he spoke, he took out an iron seal from his arms and handed it to Zhao Zhen. He said: "This is the owner's seal, and it is used as a letter when sending official documents."

Zhao Zhen took it and looked at it carefully. He saw four big characters written on it: [Zhao Zhen's Seal].

Looking at the seal, Zhao Zhen said: "I didn't expect to be promoted. It would be nice to get some reward. I didn't expect to become the mayor of the township and supervise the sergeants of the first battalion. Brother Guanghui is really reliable in his work."

While the two were talking, Zhao Yuanli came to the hall and said to Zhao Zhen: "Master, we have recorded everything clearly. There are 32 farmers with a population of 123, and there is also a family of incense makers. I don't know how to arrange it?"

Zhao Zhen said: "I plan to make two waves of these farmers. Half of the farmers will be sent to Kushu Village, and the other half will be sent to Liangcun. At the same time, I will pick out some clothes and distribute them to these people. They have all been changed and washed. I will send them to you today. Let’s go and settle in.”

After thinking for a while, he said: "I originally wanted to buy the seized ready-made clothes, but now that they are given to these new farmers, the old farmers can't leave them behind, so they took out the coarse linen clothes and older ones and pressed them." Let’s allocate the households, and if the remaining materials are good, we can set up a garment shop to sell them.”

Zhao Yuanli agreed and went to the village to make arrangements.

Zhao Zhen said to Guang Hui: "Brother, I went to Shuibo Liangshan this morning. In terms of merits and rewards, I all recommend you to be the first to put down the bandits this time. Brothers, don't refuse. Each of you will be rewarded with gold, silver and cloth."

Guanghui cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master." He asked, "Master, how is the repair of the Pagoda Temple now?"

Zhao Zhen said: "The main body has been repaired, and several craftsmen have added carvings here. Now that we have invited the Buddha statue, it can be placed in the temple today."

Guanghui was overjoyed when he heard this and got up to go to Pagoda Temple. Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, let's take a rest and don't be in a hurry. It won't be too late to go after lunch."

Guanghui agreed, went to the east courtyard room to wash and change into clean clothes. At noon, Zhao Zhen accompanied him, had lunch, and rested for a while. Then the two of them took the farmhands and drove the Buddha statue to the Pagoda Temple.

After placing it, Zhao Zhen burned the first incense stick and prayed for good weather.

Guanghui also went forward to burn an incense stick, and the two walked around the temple. As Zhao Zhen said, the whole temple only had some small wood decorations left, which would be completed in a few days.

Guanghui couldn't wait, and immediately said: "Master, I will move here today."

Zhao Zhen said: "It's up to you, brother, but the village has recruited some farmhands, and I still need your guidance."

Guanghui said: "I have done morning lessons every day, and then I go to the village to teach the farmhands."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and the two rode back to the village. Guanghui went to pack his luggage, and from then on, Guanghui rested in the Pagoda Temple, and a room in the east courtyard was still left for Guanghui's temporary use.

That night, everyone naturally held a banquet at the farm to celebrate the completion of the Pagoda Temple. Unfortunately, there were only Ruan Xiaoer and Han Boling at the farm, while the rest of the people had their own duties and were scattered everywhere.
