Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Zhao Zhen took a short break and went to wash himself.

When he arrived at the front hall, Guanghui and the other two arrived first and were waiting in the front hall. Zhao Zhen sat in the main seat, Guanghui sat on the east side, Jiao Ting and Han Bolun sat on the west side. This is indeed a bit interesting.

The Zhou people valued etiquette and called the host the host, so in order to show respect and sincerity to the guests, the host would sit in the east, that is, facing the west; and the guests would be arranged to sit in the west, that is, facing the east. The west seat is the honorable seat, and the "rare guest" evolved from the western guest.

This front hall is used to discuss village affairs, receive subordinates and guests. It is based on the central axis of the main hall. There is a long table in front of the board wall. In front of the long table is an eight-immortal square table, with a master chair on the left and right sides, with the right host and the left guest as the order. Symmetrical tables and chairs are placed on both sides of the center, which is the arrangement of seats for younger generations or subordinates.

Zhao Zhen sat on the top, and Guanghui sat on the east. He had a fixed position and was also the old man in the village. Jiao Ting and Han Boling sat in the west, but they had not yet been assigned their duties, as if they were guests.

Zhao Zhen sat down, Guanghui stood up and picked up a bundle on the ground, put it on the eight-immortal table next to Zhao Zhen, and opened the bundle, revealing two bluestones as big as a child's head.

World Log

Bluestone (Level 3 Material)

The essence of Jupiter fell to the east of the fog. Because of its blueness, its essence turned into bluestone, which was as beautiful as jade, and was sometimes covered with blue air.

"Master, these two bluestones are what was left when the bluestone tower was excavated. The center of the stone has the best texture. I brought them to you today. Do you have any idea? Keep it or carve it?"

Zhao Zhen picked it up and looked at it. It was blue, smooth, and cool to the touch. Pressing it and knocking it made a crisp sound.

"Brother Guanghui, do you have any ideas?"

"I see the owner of the manor often reads and writes, why not carve it into a study?"

"Very good. Take out a piece to make a pen holder and paperweight, and put the remaining piece in the warehouse for emergency use."

"Just follow the owner's orders."

"Today I have called the three brothers together to discuss their respective duties. At present, brother Guanghui is the boxing and kicking instructor. Are brothers Jiao Ting and Han Bolun willing to be the broadsword instructors and spear and stick instructors?"

Jiao Ting and Han Bolun were also very happy when they heard about the duties, and they all bowed and said yes.

Seeing the two agreed, Zhao Zhen continued, "Brothers, this land is my ancestral land. It has been maintained by several generations, and only then has this place been stable for a while." He paused and said, "It's a pity that there are few talents. Apart from the three brothers, there is no need to say much about martial arts. For example, Zhao Ji in the village is called the head of the guards, but he is just an ordinary person. He is loyal and dedicated. That's why he was promoted to the position of manager."

"The three brothers have a lot of skills. If they are only used as coaches in the village, it will not show your abilities. I am not talented. I thought deeply last night that I must let the brothers make the best use of their talents."

"The former and Brother Guanghui agreed that there is a hill 3 miles north of the East Creek in the village. Looking north, there is a reed marsh and a large lake in the north. The hill is very cool and is the best place to cool down. A temple is to be built here. First, let Brother Guanghui pay respect to the Three Treasures; second, this place is near the big lake and fog, so Brother Guanghui needs to monitor it nearby. "

"Zhao Yuanli has told me that there were many blue bricks fired in the village. Recently, during the slack season, a lot of manpower has been organized to open kilns to fire bricks. There are also many rocks on that hill. Later today, we brothers will go there to select a site and start construction in the next few days."

"As for Brother Han Boling, I wonder if he is willing to manage the village tavern? Life in the village is a bit boring. During the slack season, it is just right for the farmers to drink and have fun. In the future, as more and more people come to the village, we will open some workshops. Hang a sign on the counter and post the recruitment information of the workshops here. All information exchanges are placed here. What do you think, Brother Han?"

"It's up to the owner of the manor to arrange." Han Boling responded.

"Yesterday, a servant named Yun Ge came to surrender. I saw that he was filial to his father and smart. It was just right to arrange him in the tavern. Brother, you can tell him anything you need, and you don't have to worry about everything. Practice martial arts diligently, and you may need to support each other on the battlefield in the future. Yun Ge is smart, and I will ask him to find out the news. It would be best if he can get some useful information."

"Don't worry, lord, I will take care of it." Han Bolun bowed and sat down.

"Brother Jiao Ting, in addition to being a coach and training farmhands, I need to ask you for help. The mountain forest to the west of the village is connected to Crouching Tiger Ridge. According to the village records, there are many tigers in Crouching Tiger Ridge, which enter the village on snowy nights to harm people. There are seven or eight hundred chickens at the foot of the mountain. The current manager Tang Sen has brought more than ten farmhands to manage it. The main thing is to patrol the mountain forest to prevent tigers from crossing the fog and breaking into the village. This person has not yet entered the rank, and his martial arts are not as good as Zhao Ji. Therefore, Brother Jiao Ting needs to be in charge."

"Another point, this year I want to try to expand to this area, dispel the fog, and expand the village. Brothers like us are born in the world, and we must do some business, prosper a place, and protect a place. I wonder if you brothers are willing to follow me."

"I am willing to do a big business with the owner of the manor, and I dare not not do my best." The three stood up and said.

After lunch, they rested for a while. When they avoided the direct sunlight at noon, the heat subsided, and Zhao Zhen and his five companions rode their horses straight to the hill on the north side.

"I don't know what the weather will be like this year. It's already unbearably hot in May. How can people live in June?" Zhao Ji complained about the hot weather while hurrying on his way. He didn't feel it in the farm, but when he walked on the road, he was exposed to the sun. In a moment, his clothes were soaked with sweat. The five horses were also listless, weak, and panting.

There is a saying: Zhu Rong came to the south to whip the fire dragon, and the fire flags burned the sky red.

Fortunately, the entire Xixi Village is less than 4,000 acres in size. As they were walking, they met the hill in front. When everyone looked at the hill, they saw:

The grass is long and the birds are flying, and the scenery is green. Although there are no mountains, there are lush forests and bamboos. There are thousands of green trees on the top, and green grass at the roots. Thatch grows wildly on the mountainside, and there are stones all over the valley. A stream of clear water flows around the hill. The cool breeze blows from the valley, and everyone in front of them feels cool.

At that time, a group of five people ran up the hill, rested their horses, and stood under the pine trees. Looking north, the big lake was vaguely visible in the mist. This cool breeze came from here.

Everyone took the cool breeze and looked around. Zhao Zhen also only inspected from a distance and did not take a detailed look. Today, I took the opportunity to walk carefully. There were wild flowers everywhere, birds and insects singing, pheasants and rabbits were seen from time to time, and squirrels only jumped on the trees.

The two hills were side by side from north to south, and the mountain was gentle. The one on the east side was close to the stream and the top of the mountain was flat. Everyone climbed this one first. The mountain on the west side is slightly lower, with lush vegetation on it. There are many gravels in the valley in the middle.

The most delightful thing is that this small valley, which is less than 100 steps from north to south and 30 steps from east to west, with an area of ​​about 2 mu, is actually a spiritual field. Under a layer of stones, the soil is extremely fertile.

After discussion, everyone decided that the top of Gangzi Mountain on the east side was the most suitable, and the temple was built there.
