Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

On this day, after Zhao Zhen practiced martial arts, he was about to deal with county affairs. He heard a commotion outside the village. After a while, Zhao Ji came closer and said: "Master, the whetstone from Crouching Tiger Ridge was sent over today. Now outside the manor, Brother Tangson is thinking about how to send it in. "

Zhao Zhen also became interested after hearing this. This whetstone, one foot long, six feet high, was discovered last year. Because it was very heavy, it took a long time to smooth the mountain road and drag it with five shire horses before it was finally delivered.

It is roughly estimated that this [Whetstone] weighs 50,000 kilograms. If it were not for the powerful draft animals such as the Sharma, Zhao Zhen would not be willing to use a lot of manpower to drag it, so he could only reluctantly drag this first-level [Whetstone] Stone] divided into small pieces. But if this happens, I'm afraid this [Whetstone] will become an ordinary thing.

There are two gates to Whitestone Manor. The outer one is a one-foot-thick elm suspension bridge, which is lowered for passage during the day and pulled up at night to isolate the inside and outside. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the weight of this whetstone.

After everyone discussed it, there was nothing they could do. When Liu Huiniang heard about it, she made a large winch and wrapped it with a thick hemp rope, and then hoisted the [whetstone] from the stone wall into the manor.

Then, everyone worked together to bring the whetstone to the side of the school grounds. Around the whetstone, Zhao Zhen made a pavilion and named it the Knife Grinding Pavilion. From now on, all the weapons such as swords and guns carried by heroes can be taken off here and sharpened.

On this day, Zhao Zhen rewarded the Dongping Prefecture sergeant who followed Bai Sheng to escort the ordnance under the order of the prefect. After seeing off the group of sergeants, Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, you went to ask for credit, how come you brought back so many ordnance?" ”

Bai Sheng said: "The boss said that Shouzhang is not at peace. There happened to be a batch of newly delivered ordnance in the mansion, so he sent it to you. He also asked me to send a message to the officials to protect Shouzhang County."

Zhao Zhen laughed when he heard this. Although he was the bandit who was wiped out in Jingmen Town, through his father-in-law's words, he actually became a credit to Shouzhang County, and he also sent a lot of ordnance.

After counting, there were 200 pairs of iron armor, 100 pairs of infantry armor, and 1,000 crow-necked spears. What Zhao Zhen valued the most was the 300 jumping stirrup crossbows that could be shot by one person.

The weapons supervisor in Liangshan County can make most of his own armor, swords, guns, and arrows, and there are also snake-bone bows. Only crossbows have complicated structures and are still being copied gradually.

These 300 jumping stirrup crossbows can be regarded as alleviating Zhao Zhen's problem of insufficient long-range. After all, it is not easy to train an archer. Apart from the fact that the crossbow is difficult to make and easy to damage, the training of a crossbow is much simpler.

Of these 300 pieces of stirrup crossbows, Zhao Zhen divided 200 pieces and sent them to the army led by Shi Qian and Bai Sheng. At the same time, the weapons supervisor was asked to remove thousands of arrows made by carpenters with plain heads and use wooden balls as arrowheads for daily practice. Prepare twenty more three-stop arrows, point steel arrows, and wooden feather arrows for combat use.

In the blink of an eye, it was July 15th. During this period, Zhao Zhen took Hu Cheng, Du Xing, Fu Yu, Yan Shun, Yang Lin, Li Ying, Liu Lin, and Ouyang Shouting back to the main world twice. They were sealed one by one.

Everything is stable in the main world, and Zhao Zhen only stays for three or two days every time he comes back. Each time, they just bring the output of the fantasy world to the main world, and then bring the spiritual materials purchased by Ji Xuan back to the fantasy world.

Of course, these outputs are not static. The bookshop supervised by Jin Dajian completed the engraving and printing of two more books, one "Mingwu Mengqiu" and one "Zengguang Xianwen".

The former is a common sense education that uses four-character sentences to write basic natural knowledge and daily social knowledge. Including heaven and earth, four seasons, wind and clouds, animals and plants, utensils, fields, and houses.

The latter is an enlightenment book written silently by Zhu Hongji, the current mayor of Jingyang Town, based on what he learned. The book has more than 4,000 words and collects various aphorisms and proverbs. From etiquette and morality, rules and regulations to customs, astronomy and geography, it covers almost everything.

Zhao Zhen's bookstore in the main world is now somewhat famous. Not only is the engraving exquisite, the paper is good, and it feels cool when held in the hand. Those with better family conditions are willing to spend an extra three to two hundred yuan to buy a copy. On a hot summer day, a little coolness is worth it.

On this day, Zhao Zhen had nothing to do. He was chatting with Ji Qingwan and four others at home. Hearing that Zhao Zhen's power in the fantasy world had expanded to the size of two counties, Ji Minghan and Ji Minghan expressed regret and said, "Husband, you guys As we expand our territory, neither of my sisters can help.”

Zhao Zhen said: "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. In the fantasy world, Sanniang's female cavalry has now expanded to a hundred people, and there are also two lieutenants. From now on, when we fight in the mist world, your two sisters and the Black Ant sisters can also join them."

After hearing this, Ji Minghan and his wife turned from anger to joy. Ji Minglian said: "Last time we went back to the [Uncle Thief] world, we didn't have much room to show off. In terms of martial arts, Sister-in-law Gu is also braver than the two of me. These days, the two of us practice horse fighting every day, and we are both black. many."

With that said, he rolled up his sleeves and let Zhao Zhen see.

Ji Xuan smiled and said: "Who asked you two to show off your strength? You have to run horses every day on this hot day."

Ji Qingwan said: "You have the nerve to criticize others. If you hadn't found a job as a merchant again, among the four of us, you would probably have the lowest professional level."

At Youshi, Zhang Ping came to Zhao Zhen with his son Zhang Huai. Zhao Zhen met the two of them in the front yard. After the ceremony, Zhao Zhen took out a bag of white jade cucumber seeds cultivated during this period and handed it to Zhang Ping. After Ping read it, he took out "The Collection of Small Animals: Bee Notes" and handed it over. Then he pointed to the two beehives in the yard and said, "Brother Zhang, these two boxes are the bees that I promised you. There will be two moons tonight." When flying in the sky, with this guide and the beehive, I think it will be good to enter Dalang's fantasy world. "

Zhang Ping listened and said with a smile: "I just hope he can make some progress."

At night, when the two moons met, Zhang Huai stood in the courtyard, holding "Little Animal Collection: Bee Notes" in one hand and holding the beehive with the other. His whole person slowly faded until he disappeared.

Zhao Zhen stepped forward and said to Zhang Ping: "Brother, we have tidied up a house ahead and are waiting for Da Lang to come out. You and your son will have a rest today. It won't be too late to go back tomorrow."

Zhang Ping heard this and thanked him repeatedly.

About half an hour later, Zhang Huai came out of the fantasy world. Without waiting for Zhang Ping to ask, Zhang Huai said to Zhang Ping excitedly: "Dad, my fantasy world is a valley with flowers everywhere. The two beehives have been opened, and the bees are collecting honey. Suddenly, I have a lot of beekeeping experience in my mind. In addition to collecting honey, I can also sell royal jelly, propolis, pollen, beeswax, and bee pupae. It will be easy to support my family in the future. ”

Zhang Ping praised him repeatedly.

Zhao Zhen said from the side: "Brother Zhang, I have an appointment with Uncle Lu tomorrow. After leaving a record, the deal will be considered completed."

Zhang Ping said: "This is natural."

On the second day, Lu Zhuocheng and his son came to Zhao Zhen's house. Zhang Ping escorted them, and then said goodbye with Father Lu.

After seeing the three people off, Lu Zhuocheng asked: "Rich man, is there anything else you need that I can help you with?"

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Why, after a trip to Mount Laoshan, don't you need to rest?"

"Hey, I'm getting married now. I have to support my family in the future, so how dare I not save some money as soon as possible." Lu Zhuocheng said with a smile.

"Which girl is from that family? She makes you look like this."

"Hehe, the daughter of my father's colleague also went to the county school and works as a cook. I think opening a restaurant in the future will allow her to show off her talents."

Zhao Zhen said: "Has the wedding date been set?"

"The eighth day of next month."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, I made a note. If nothing happens in the fantasy world, I will take my wife and concubines to have a drink."

"It's less than a month until you get married. You'll be busy with wedding matters during this period, right?"

"With the help of my parents, brother and sister-in-law, I have a lot of time here, so I found something to do." Lu Zhuocheng replied.

Zhao Zhen said: "What should I say here? The fantasy world is not peaceful. Fortunately, I can make my own weapons, but there is nothing I can do about the war horses. As long as they are war horses, I am willing to buy them. Brother, if you see me again, I will Also. I want all the sinews, horns, skins, hairs, and fine iron materials for making weapons and armor. You know what kind of bulk goods I have here. If I can sell them, I'll sell them to you. commission."

"I have purchased 900 stones of rough tea here continuously. It has not been used up in the fantasy world. I don't want this rough tea for the time being. If necessary, my brothers will inevitably have to go there. Then there are all kinds of exotic and advanced materials. , I want all the treasures here. Brother, if you wander around the market every day, if you come across it, bring it to me. If I am not here, my wife Ji Xuan can also make the decision. I have already told you."

Lu Zhuocheng heard this and smiled: "Speaking of alien species, I have found two more species these days."

"Oh? I wonder what brother found?" Zhao Zhen asked.
