Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 300 Geisha Zheng Tianshou

Everyone went down the mountain, and the pig dragon's blood on the shore had also drained away. They loaded it onto the boat and went back to the other side in two trips.

It was already noon, and Zhao Zhen was in the camp, having people set up more than ten large pots, chopping the remaining fat pig into large pieces, and going to the town to buy some vegetables, all of which were stewed, to entertain the soldiers and the fishermen who had caught the pig dragon today.

During the banquet, Zhao Zhen handed the token of Governor He to Liu Dalang: "Brother, take this token and tell Governor He about the situation here. With this token as proof, you will definitely get the reward money."

Liu Dalang took the token and said, "Thank you very much, sir. This trip to catch the pig dragon was mostly done by your subordinates. The reward money belongs to us. How about we..."

Zhao Zhen interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, saying, "No need to say more, we have already agreed on this yesterday. Besides, it was you who came up with the idea of ​​catching the pig dragon. I have earned less than you by getting the pig dragon's corpse."

Seeing Zhao Zhen's determination, Liu Dalang kept silent about the reward and just told some interesting stories about fishing as a side dish.

After the meal, Zhao Zhen said goodbye to Liu Dalang and other fishermen, packed up his things, took the corpse of Zhu Polong and the black pig from Tuhe, and headed for Liangshan County.

There was no further conversation on the way, and on the evening of the next day, the group arrived at Bai Shi Manor.

Seeing that it was getting late and everyone was tired from the journey, they had a quick dinner and temporarily placed Pang Yi in the village.

The unloaded pig dragon carcass was sent to the skinning station, where Cao Zheng started skinning it overnight. Although this pig dragon was only a second-level one, its skin was much harder than that of a third-level green water python.

After Huangfu Duan checked the Tuhe black pig, he found it was indeed pregnant. Zhao Zhen was overjoyed and sent it to the pig farm, asking Zhu Yuanpeng, who was on duty, to take good care of it and inform him as soon as it gave birth.

They each rested that night.

On the second day, Zhao Zhen called Zhu Fu and gave him some instructions. He prepared a banquet with the flesh and blood of Zhu Po Long, and invited the heroes and managers in the county to welcome the new hero.

The celebration lasted for three days. Half of Zhu Po Long's lean meat was used up, and the rest was cut into large pieces. The rest, along with the crocodile bones with meat on them, were all stored in the ice cellar for Zhao Zhen's daily enjoyment.

This crocodile is full of treasures. Its meat can be eaten, its skin can be made into armor, and its bones and internal organs can be made into dishes.

The intestines can be fried, the stomach and lungs can be used to make soup, and the rest can be cooked in brine. For three consecutive days, this kind of nourishing blood and meat has benefited all the heroes and managers in the county. Even the spiritual species raised by Zhao Zhen have eaten a lot.

The crocodile bones were originally going to be cleaned of meat and sent to a bone carving workshop, but Cheng Wan'er saw it and stopped them. Put the dendrobium, lean pork, and crocodile bones into a sand-tempered gray pottery with rope patterns, simmer for a day, and make a pot of dendrobium and crocodile bone stew, which is the best for nourishing qi.

The restaurant beside the Dulonggang official road also started to build a tile shop. The old general Pang Yi went to Wanzi City to accompany Coach Zhang.

In the past few days, the heroes of the village gathered together to compete in martial arts. Everyone was amazed at how Pang Yi, at his age, could wield a 62-jin chopping knife, which was covered in silver light and could not be splashed with water. Although his martial arts skills were not as good as Lu Zhishen's, he was on par with Yan Shude, who was in his prime.

The geishas who came with them were also arranged properly. Cao Tielin, Jin Lebo, Xiu Lebo and the sumo wrestlers who came with them all stayed at the village, and competed with the sumo team of the village on a daily basis.

Zhao Shiqilang, who is good at training birds, went to the Kushushan Chicken Farm to train the Chinese Snow Pheasant and the Colorful Pheasant that were hanging out at the chicken farm. The offspring of the two chickens have already hatched, but there is nothing special about them at the moment.

Zhao Shiqilang also has another important task, which is to take a few apprentices to train the fighting cocks that Zhao Zhen brought back from the main world. When the restaurant opens for business, cockfighting and dog racing will also be one of the items.

[Yuanyangtou] These geishas were scattered around Liangshan County, performing their talents in restaurants in villages and towns, for bored farmers. In addition to rewards, they also received a salary, which was much more stable than making a living outside.

After the trip to Tai'an Prefecture, nothing happened in Liangshan County for six or seven days. Zhao Zhen practiced martial arts every day and went to various military camps to watch the soldiers train.

The armor of each battalion was gradually adjusted to the right place. The reason for this adjustment was the inconvenience caused by the inconsistency of armor. Tang Long and Hou Jian combined the body size of the soldiers and divided the armor into three grades according to waist circumference: four and a half feet, four feet, and three and a half feet. The armor skirt was divided into three grades according to size: fifteen, thirteen, and ten. Each grade of armor was further divided into three grades according to fatness and thinness.

In this way, soldiers of different heights and sizes can choose armor that fits their body and is convenient for them to use. This realizes the "Marching Constraints": All soldiers are equipped with armor and given armor according to their talents. In the future, the armor and weapon warehouses should also store armor of different sizes. When they are needed, they will report their height and waistline, and the armor and weapon warehouse will prepare them for them, and then distribute them to each city. Ninety-nine percent of the soldiers can choose the right armor.

As for soldiers with special body shapes, they could only be transformed. Wu Yong heard this and suggested to Zhao Zhen: "It is not easy to replace the armor of these soldiers if it is broken. It is better to recruit them into the Grand Official's Guard. In this way, the armor in the army can be easily replaced and the production of armor is also simple. It is also necessary to customize the armor for the Grand Official's Guard."

From then on, the armor regulations were set. Zhao Zhen praised Tang Long and Hou Jian lavishly, and gave them two pieces of three sections of nine-hole white jade lotus roots as rewards.

Wu Yong, Xiao Rang, Pei Xuan, and Zhu Wu revised the land sale terms, which were issued to all places in Liangshan after being stamped by Zhao Zhen. They also reallocated the land of Li Ying and Hu Cheng to 1000 mu.

On this day, Zhao Zhen was practicing martial arts in the training ground. During his break, Zhao Yuanli came forward and said, "Sir, there is a man outside who calls himself Zheng Tianshou and wants to seek refuge with you."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly asked him to come in.

Seeing Zhao Zhen, Zheng Tianshou fell to the ground and said, "I am Zheng Tianshou, a native of Suzhou. I make a living by working as a swindler. I am fond of using spears and clubs, so I have been traveling around. Recently, I have been hanging around in Shandong. When I passed by Qingzhen Mountain, I was robbed by bandits. I beat three or five of them. Unexpectedly, a gong sounded and seventy or eighty people rushed out. I saw that I was not the leader, so I left my burden and ran away. Other things are not a big deal, but it is a pity that I have lost my family's inheritance."

"When I passed Qingfeng Mountain, I encountered another group of robbers named Wang Ying. We fought for fifty or sixty rounds with no clear winner. Seeing that my martial arts skills were equal to his, he invited me to sit on the mountain. I was reluctant to go up the mountain because I was concerned about my health, but seeing his loyalty, I couldn't refuse, so I followed him up the mountain."

"I didn't expect this man to be a cannibalistic devil who used human hearts to make hangover soup. The next day, I found an excuse and quietly went down the mountain. I was penniless now, and I only heard about your great reputation, so I rushed all the way from Qingzhou, hoping that you would accept me."

Zhao Zhen stepped forward and helped Zheng Tianshou up. He saw that Zheng Tianshou had a fair complexion, three teeth covering his mouth and a beard, and he was thin and tall with broad shoulders, with a handsome appearance. He was indeed worthy of the title of "White-faced Young Man".

Zhao Zhen drank three cups of wine before saying, "Brother, you have come to me, and I am honored to have you here. Liangshan County is so big that it is naturally a place for you. Brother, you have come to Qingzhou, and I wonder what the situation is like there now?"

Zheng Tianshou said, "Qingzhou City is relatively safe, but there are bandits everywhere in the mountains outside the city. Qingfeng Village originally had a garrison called [Little Li Guang] Hua Rong, but I don't know why he was transferred away. But the garrison commander Liu Gao was indeed incompetent, and the bandits almost broke through the town. Now a [Three Mountain Guard] Huang Xin has been transferred there to garrison, and the town has finally become safe."

"There is also a military commander named Yun Tianbiao, who is stationed in Maying Town. I heard that he is also recruiting soldiers and eliminating small gangs of bandits everywhere."

"It's been rumored everywhere in Qingzhou Prefecture that Governor Murong wants to wipe out the mountain strongholds outside the city. I left Qingzhou Prefecture in a hurry because I saw that a war was about to break out."

Zhao Zhen sighed after hearing this: "I didn't expect Qingfeng Mountain to be occupied by someone so quickly?"

"Why do you say that, sir?"

At that moment, Zhao Zhen told the story of [Golden-haired Tiger] Yan Shun, and Zheng Tianshou sighed: "No wonder [Dwarf Tiger] Wang Ying acted like this, it turns out there is this reason."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, since you have come to Liangshan County, don't worry about Qingzhou anymore. After all, we are six or seven hundred miles away from Qingzhou Prefecture, and there is fog blocking us. We can't get here anyway. Let's have a banquet tonight to welcome you."

"In the next few days, I will let Zhao Ji take you around to see if there is a job you like. I will then arrange it for you."

After hearing this, Zheng Tianshou hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Seeing that Zheng Tianshou looked exhausted, Zhao Zhen called Zhao Ji to take Zheng Tianshou to choose a place to stay, and after resting, come to the hall for the banquet.
