Water Margin farming to become powerful

Pharmacist Guo was waiting for the report from his subordinates in the barracks, but he didn't expect that before his subordinates came back, the supervisory committee's men had already arrived.

After hearing the guard's report, a group of people came directly to the gate of the barracks and asked to see Pharmacist Guo with a slip. Guo Yaoshi asked to take a look at the post and saw that the name written on the post was the name of Xie Zhen, a supervisor of the Zhuozhou Supervisory Committee.

Pharmacist Guo was a little surprised that this supervisory committee was as large as a state. Even though he was a general of the dynasty, it was a matter involving his brothers. Pharmacist Guo was also curious and agreed to meet for the sake of face.

He was sitting in the camp with a strong horse, and after a while, he saw his subordinates bring in a rather strong young man.

The man had a smile on his face. Although he had a beard, he looked like a 25-year-old at most. When he saw Pharmacist Guo, he bowed to himself and said, "I am the supervisor of the Zhuozhou Supervisory Committee, named Jie Zhen." .”

Pharmacist Guo snorted coldly, "You supervisors don't know what's going on. My officers went to expropriate the houses, but you idiots injured my people."

Xie Zhen suddenly snorted coldly: "But it's not you who did something that was harmful to nature. Otherwise, the bankers in our supervisory committee are all honest people. How could they go against the government and the army?"

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, the guards around Pharmacist Guo immediately became angry, and some even drew their weapons. Xie Zhen looked at everyone coldly, but showed no fear and continued to sit there.

Medical Master Guo was secretly surprised to see him like this. "Behave yourself!" Medical Master Guo said, and his soldiers gradually put away their swords and guns.

Xie Zhen then stood up and said, "I offended the general earlier. After asking my subordinates, I learned that the supervisor in the village only allowed the general twenty dan of grain. How is that enough? I brought something specially to accompany the general as a gift. "

Pharmacist Guo calmly took the gift list from Jie Zhen, opened it and took a look at it, his pupils dilated instantly.

He was also greedy for money, but he never expected that a small supervisory committee would give so many assets in one breath.

Guo Yaoshi looked at Xie Zhen and was already a little undecided. He originally thought that the Supervisory Committee was a local peasant association, but he didn't expect that it seemed that the Supervisory Committee was quite powerful in the local area. Otherwise, how could it mobilize so many resources?

Here Xie Zhen smiled and said: "The Supervisory Committee is protecting the people in Zhuozhou, so it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts with the general's men. A small gift is not respectful, so I ask the general to forgive me."

Pharmacist Guo was in a good mood after receiving so many gifts. He laughed loudly and nodded and said, "In that case, I have explained something to the brothers. It turned out to be a misunderstanding!"

"General, you really understand justice..." Xie Zhen said some kind words for free, and Pharmacist Guo laughed loudly. He served tea to see the guests off. Before leaving, Jie Zhen gave some gifts to the officers under Guo Pharmacist, who screamed. Everyone is happy.

After Xie Zhen left, Pharmacist Guo quickly asked someone to ask if the person who had inquired about the Supervisory Committee's information had returned, but there was no news for a while. It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that the officer came back in a hurry.

Pharmacist Guo asked him to come to the account and explain the details carefully. The other party said: "This supervisory committee came from Shandong last year. They also became a big force in the Song Dynasty. It was the one who defeated Tong Guan's army of [-] in Shandong. The people of this supervisory committee.”

"It's them?" Medical Master Guo was quite surprised.

"Now they have occupied more than a dozen states and counties in Shandong, and they have become the worry of Song State, but they don't know that they are also quite powerful in Liao State and Jin State."

After listening to this, Pharmacist Guo asked in detail about the rules of the Supervisory Committee, and after listening to the soldiers' stories in detail, Pharmacist Guo finally felt that the Supervisory Committee was probably an organization like the Incense Club or the Gun Club in the countryside, but it was just that There must be some powerful leaders in this session, so they have such great momentum.

"It seems that this supervisory committee has collected enough, otherwise how could it have so much money?" He then asked the officer in detail how many supervisory committees there were in Zhuozhou.

The officer said that he didn't know the specific number of people, but after a quick inquiry, he found out that there were members of the Supervisory Committee in more than 20 villages around Zhuozhou alone, and there were also the same forces in Yizhou next door.

"That's thousands of people."

Pharmacist Guo nodded and sneered: "No wonder they are so arrogant, it turns out this is the reason."

Pharmacist Guo was a little surprised by the strength of the Supervisory Committee. He knew that Zhuozhou and Yizhou were both fertile and wild. They were fertile places within the Liao Kingdom where food could be grown on a large scale, and they were also where Han people lived.

The local Han people were severely exploited by the Khitans, so they always had the tradition of forming associations to protect themselves, just like the Liaodong Han people.

Since the Supervisory Committee has become such a big force here, even if his victorious army is large in number, there is no need to offend these local snakes.

At that moment, Pharmacist Guo felt that it was the right choice not to start a life-threatening lawsuit with the Supervisory Committee today.

For such a local snake, Pharmacist Guo just wanted to get more oil and water out of him. After thinking for a moment, he asked someone to bring a pen and paper to write a letter by hand and send it to Jie Zhen, asking him to meet him in a few days. Come and have a drink in the army.

A few days later, Xie Zhen arrived as promised. This time, the appointment between the two of them was not at the military camp but at the temple where Medicine Master Guo was staying.

When Xie Zhen arrived, he brought a Shandong cook with him. The lambs and fat horses were cooked carefully, and he also brought out the liquor produced in Dengzhou. Pharmacist Guo was from Liaodong, and he liked it as soon as he drank it.

They chatted about things while eating and drinking, and both parties wanted to make friends with each other, so naturally they talked about entering Hong Kong.

Xie Zhen has stayed in Bianliang for so long, has been doing the work of handing over intelligence, and making friends with dignitaries. How come she doesn't know the meaning of flattery?
This time, he was specially ordered by his master to take over the good job of Medicine Master Guo. Naturally, he offered his kind words for free and soon became a favor to Medicine Master Guo. He was very happy.

After a meal of wine, Pharmacist Guo called his soldiers to gamble. Seeing that the people Pharmacist Guo called were all smart, Xie Zhen knew it, so he deliberately lost a lot of money at the gambling table. them.

A gambling game lasted until midnight, before Xie Zhen said goodbye and left. Medical Master Guo already held his hand when he left. Regardless of whether he was several decades older than the other person, he called him a "virtuous brother" and gave orders. The soldiers under his command were escorting Xie Zhen home. If anyone asked about the curfew along the way, no one would dare to stop him but just say it was a military matter.

After Xie Zhen left, Pharmacist Guo asked someone to cancel the bet, and called his subordinates to ask if Xie Zhen had left anything. His subordinates laughed and said that Xie Zhen had left a gift list. Pharmacist Guo felt better after asking someone to take it to check. good.

During this time, Pharmacist Guo also gradually understood the situation in Zhuozhou.

He found that due to the policies of the Khitan people, a lot of land in Zhuozhou was in the hands of Han landlords. The life of ordinary self-cultivated farmers was very difficult. When the time came, most of these small farmers were willing to join the supervisory committee organization, so now the villagers outside Zhuozhou City Less than half of them are already members of the Supervisory Committee, and this Supervisory Committee is generous and does not exploit the people. Instead, it gives money to the local area.After some actions, the Supervisory Committee became more powerful than he had imagined before.

Pharmacist Guo is naturally more willing to make friends with Jie Zhen.
