Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Watching Tao Zongwang and others leaving Zhuangzi armed with guns, sticks and knives, Zhao Zhen drank tea and read the diary. Seeing that he still had 151 points of luck, he considered whether to expand the boundaries of Liangshan Township.

Zhao Zhen was thinking about something in his mind and his hands were a little slow. Pei Xuan and Xiao Rang noticed it immediately. Pei Xuan said: "Master, are you thinking about Wu Xuexue and his party?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "Brother Pei Xuan, who among Wu Xueguo's group is not the best among people? I'm not worried about their group. I'm wondering whether we should dispel the fog, expand the territory, and recruit more bankers." . Nowadays, there are only three or five people coming to vote.”

"I thought, there are many villages and towns scattered in the fog, and the government doesn't pay much attention to it. How about dispersing the fog and connecting the boundaries, so that we can expand the territory and gain more people. If things are not harmonious in the future, there will be some room for maneuver."

After hearing this, Pei Xuan and Xiao Rang pondered for a while, and then Pei Xuan said: "Master, last time I heard that there was a large wasteland on the south side followed by fog, and no one has ever come in from that place. I also heard about that wasteland. After seeing it, the land is indeed barren. There is gravel under the two-finger-thick soil and it is impossible to grow crops. It is a pity.”

"Besides, this stream flows from south to north into Liangshan Water Park. You have to see what is hidden in the mist before you can feel at ease."

Xiao Rang listened and said: "Master, Brother Pei Xuan is right, but I think we should go north. Let's not talk about what is in the south. It's just that we have been in peace for so many years, and now the camp is guarding here. , I guess there won’t be any problems. Secondly, let’s talk about the water park in Liangshan. We can’t occupy all of the water park. Except for the south bank, we can’t see the edge of the north bank. This water park is connected to many large lakes and there are many waterfronts. There is fertile land, and if we can occupy the eight hundred miles of water in Liangshan, it will be a great inheritance."

"Furthermore, the Shuibo Liangshan Mountain is the most dangerous place. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Without the water army, Liangshan cannot be climbed. Liangshan is as big as Nuo, but now there are only three villages, and many fields are deserted. In the middle, Wanzi City, Yi It is difficult to defend and attack, and only Hutou Peak is occupied by the four main peaks.”

"Going from Jinshatan Beach to the north, there are Dogou Mountain, Hutou Peak, Heifengkou, and Qisan Mountain. In the north is Xiaoliang Peak where the emperor's monument is located. These places are now occupied by the fog. These places are three to five Thousands of households can be accommodated, and they can fish and farm as much as they can to support themselves.”

"I looked through the logs of the three villages of Liangcun, Zhangzhuang and Tianzhuang. It says that the Goutou Mountain is divided into the West Gouzaw Mountain and the East Gouzaw Mountain. The West Gouzaw Mountain is where King Liang raised his dogs. To the west is the main peak Haoshan Mountain. To the east is the main peak Xuefeng Mountain, which is connected to Qisan Mountain. To the north is Xiaohuang Mountain, and to the east is Xiaoping Mountain. To the northwest is the main peak Qinglong Mountain, which is connected to Xiaoliang Peak. . Extending to the southeast of Xiaoliang Peak is the east-west branch Guozi Mountain. If we capture these mountains and the surrounding water, we can say that we can advance and defend."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen also began to ponder. What the two said had different emphases. At present, occupying the entire Shuibo Liangshan Mountain is the top priority, and just maintain the status quo on the south side.

He immediately said: "What the two brothers said is that the foundation of the land here is always a little shallow. After listening to what the two brothers said, I agree with what brother Xiao Rang said. It is also a bit better to occupy this 'eight hundred miles' water park first." A place to move around.”

After Pei Xuan heard this, he also said: "This method has been considered for a long time. The only disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of luck."

Zhao Zhen said: "It took 48 points of luck to disperse Xixi Village to the line from Hutou Peak to Xiaoliang Peak. According to the village records, the Gouzhao Mountains on both sides of Goutou Mountain should not be far apart. Brothers Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi When inspecting the water park, I also found that there is a section of waterway on the east and west sides of Kotou Mountain that is very shallow, the shallowest part is less than one foot, presumably where the two peaks connect to the valley, which is flooded. "

When Pei Xuan heard this, he said: "This Nanshan Hotel is on the other side of Kotoushan Mountain. So it seems that Brother Zhugui is heading north. They are walking along the water in the mist. They may have gone all the way to the west."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen felt that what Pei Xuan said was reasonable. The three of them looked at each other and laughed. It is common to get lost in the fog. Fortunately, when exploring the road, they would leave marks, but unfortunately, Niutoushan was nowhere to be found.

Seeing the evening, Zhao Zhen stood up and said to Pei Xuan and Xiao Rang: "Brothers, let's do this for today. In a few days, when the scholar comes back, we will discuss it again. At that time, all the heroes in the village will gather together, and we will discuss it again." Can cope with the changes in the world after the fog." After saying this, he resigned, called Zhang Qi and six other guards, picked up Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian, and the three of them rode back to Baishi Village.

Zhu Gui and others must have slept in the mist today. According to what Zhu Gui said, it took five days to explore all the way there, and three days to go back quickly. This time everyone was on horseback and knew the road. Zhao Zhen estimated that tomorrow He should be back by night, or the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Let's say that Zhao Zhen returned to Baishi Manor and went straight to the top of the mountain. There were more than ten courtyards in Baishi Valley, but this one was the largest. It had three entrances, and the kitchen in the back was also large. Li Xiaoer and Wang Qiao also moved here and chose a yard next to the school grounds. Li Xiaoer handles Zhao Zhen's three meals a day.

Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian do not live here. They also know about Cheng Wan'er's existence and will move into Baishi Manor in a few days. Because they didn't know who Cheng Wan'er was, Yang Zhaozhen agreed, and each chose a courtyard on a hill as their residence. There was a place on the hillside where two houses were built next to each other. Not only that, this location looked down, The scenery in the valley is unobstructed.

Although these courtyards are small, they are fully functional. Not only are they equipped with a small kitchen, but the main hall is a two-story building, with the first floor for entertaining guests and the second floor for bedrooms. The furniture is also made of red rosewood.

Zhao Zhen did not force them to live in the same place, but he agreed with the two that if there was no reason, they would eat in this house on the top of the mountain, and Bai Zhi and the others agreed.

After dinner, the three of them went to the main house to rest. Although it is called the main house, it is different from ordinary courtyards. According to Zhao Zhen's request, two floors were built here. In addition to the bedrooms on both sides of the main hall, there are also three rooms upstairs. There is also a platform on the south side, and a wooden pavilion was built on this platform. The second floor in the back is where Zhao Zhen and Cheng Wan'er live. A room downstairs is reserved for the maids to live in, and Zhao Zhen arranged the other two sides according to the treasure house and study.

This house has seven rooms in the east and west. The south side back house will be used as a study room in the future. When children are born, they will be taught here. It can also be used as a guest room. Occasionally, people like Old Man Jin and Bai Duo will stay there temporarily. The east and west wing rooms are used as residences for children. If they are bigger, they can find a small house in Baishi Manor to live in. Because there are few people in the family, the back room is now only used as a storehouse.
