Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

The four men stopped their horses, looked at each other, and laughed.

The four men dismounted, threw away the painted halberds in their hands, and came to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen said: "The four brothers are highly skilled in martial arts, and they use the painted halberds to perfection. How about Huo Wancheng and Wang Liang becoming cavalry envoys, entering the small military camp, and leading the cavalry of this camp with Lu Fang and Guo Sheng?"

Huo Wancheng and Wang Liang thanked them immediately.

Zhao Zhen continued: "Brothers, you are new here, please ask Lu Fang and Guo Sheng to show you around, and then arrange your duties after you have seen them."

Everyone agreed.

After seeing everyone off, Zhao Zhen invited Wu Yong and Zhu Wu to sit in the hall. Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Xuejiu, Zhu Wu, how do you two plan to arrange for these brothers to surrender?"

Zhu Wu spoke first, "Sir, Huo Wancheng and Wang Liang are good friends with Lu Fang and Guo Sheng. They are both young heroes. Putting them together will help them to compete with each other and improve their martial arts. They can protect the central army in the future battles. As for Bai Wahan, I heard him boast yesterday that he is good at construction and can make offensive weapons. It is better to let him join the military equipment supervision to make military equipment. If he is useful, he can be promoted to supervisor, or he can go to the boat camp led by Meng Kang to be a general."

The three discussed it, and Zhao Zhen finally said, "Since this brother can make all kinds of land and water offensive weapons, let him make them first. If he is really useful, he can take on two positions like Hou Jian."

After that, the duties of Qin Ming and Huang Xin were also determined. They recruited 200 cavalry as the vanguard camp and stationed in the South Camp. Qin Ming is the commander of the camp, and Huang Xin is the chief military officer.

Zhao Zhen saw the attributes of Ou Peng and Ma Lin from Huangmen Mountain, and they were not much different from Yang Lin and Deng Fei, and they were also good at horse fighting. After the three of them discussed, they also joined the vanguard camp led by Qin Ming and became a cavalry envoy.

The new Duzhi Division was established, with clerks, clerks, chief officials, and chief officials under its jurisdiction. Jiang Jing was the chief official, with the same position as the county magistrate. He was in charge of the warehouses and granaries of the two counties, and the expenditures were included. He accumulated thousands of books and calculated the accounts.

Shi En was different from others. There were more than ten men and women in his family. There was nothing else. Shi En's father, Shi Quanzhong, the prison camp manager of Mengzhou, was also a second-level hero, but he was not good at fighting.

After the three of them discussed, they appointed Shi Quanzhong as the manager of the mine in Heihu Temple Town to assist Yang Xiong and his group in managing hard labor. Shi En was good at foot fighting, and went to Shouzhang with Wu Song to serve. Wu Song was the commander of the infantry camp, and Shi En was the chief.

After the discussion, Zhao Zhen asked, "Xuejiu, is there any new news from Qingzhou?"

Wu Yong shook his head and said, "No new news has been received yet."

A few days later, the new heroes were settled properly, and Zhao Zhen resumed his usual routine. These days, Zhao Zhen blew the cunning horn at night.

This time, the crops and plants in Dongxi Village, Xixi Village, Baishi Valley and Chenjiaji all grew wildly. The newly planted Fengdan peony also took root. Such auspicious signs naturally attracted the farmers to exclaim and spread the word. Through Dong Laodao, they all spread that Zhao Zhen was the reincarnation of a star in the sky.

On this day, after practicing martial arts, Zhao Zhen went to the bottom of the valley of Baishi Manor to take care of the spiritual fields in the valley. This year's grapes grew very well. Zhao Zhen could imagine that this year's grapes must not be eaten up. Use it to make wine. In addition to drinking for each family, selling it is also a great income. The newly planted thumb cucumbers are also full of vines, and they can be eaten in three to five days.

The front leg pushes the back leg, the right hand is in front and the left hand is behind, holding the hoe handle and hoeing down, again and again, although it is hoeing the land, it is not just hoeing the land. The hoe that Zhao Zhen is fiddling with is specially made, weighing 30 pounds, and is made by Tang Long of [Golden Leopard] with 100-fold steel. In addition, there is an iron rake, a shovel, and a mulberry pole. These four household items are what Zhao Zhen usually uses to manage the fields. Except for the pole, the other three are first-level household items.

As the saying goes: persimmon wood chopping board, locust wood rafter, mulberry wood pole can be used for ten thousand years. Mulberry wood is hard and tough, with a dense and elastic texture. It bends without breaking, does not deform when dry, does not rot when soaked in water, and does not decay after a long time. Therefore, in the absence of entry-level materials, Zhao Zhen chose mulberry wood to make a pole.

With this, Zhao Zhen was also practicing kung fu while farming. The iron rake skill, the thirteen shovels that split the earth, the ridge pole method, and the hoe skill all made progress. Not only that, Zhao Zhen also bought the horizontal stool method from Tan Hong in the main world, and practiced it twice when he had nothing to do.

Zhao Zhen had just finished hoeing half of the ridge today, and Zhao Yuanli hurried over and said to Zhao Zhen: "Sir, there is a hero outside the village, who calls himself Zhou Jin, and comes to seek refuge with you."

Zhao Zhen put down the hoe in his hand and said to Zhao Yuanli: "You lead him in, I will change my clothes and come to see him."

Zhao Zhen changed his clothes, holding a cool bamboo folding fan in his hand, and came from the back house. I saw a big man under the shade of the trees in the parade ground, about seven feet tall, with a dark face and wide eyes, leading a black horse. Jiao Ting and Bao Xu were talking to this man.

After greeting, the big man bowed and said, "Sir, I am Zhou Jin, a deputy general in Daming Prefecture. I was thrown into prison because of the poor performance in escorting the birthday gift. It was only thanks to my master [Jianfeng] Suo Chao's intercession in front of you that I was exempted from punishment and only dismissed from the military position. No one in Daming Prefecture dared to employ me. I heard that you are recruiting talents, so I came to join you." Then he bowed down.

Zhao Zhen helped Zhou Jin up and said, "I once heard Ambassador Yang mention you."

"[Green-faced Beast] Yang Zhi?"

"Exactly."

"It turns out that Yang Zhishi also voted for a senior official."

Zhao Zhen recounted Yang Zhi's experience. After hearing this, Zhou Jin cursed: "It turns out there were such dirty things in the middle."

After scolding, Zhao Zhen invited Zhou Jin into the hall, first drank three glasses of wine, and then said to Zhao Yuanli on the side: "Yuanli, ask Ding An to send a dove letter, and ask Yang Zhi to come to the village to talk about it."

Then, Zhao Zhen turned around and asked, "Brother Zhou Jin, what measures is Daming Mansion taking now?"

Zhou Jin nodded and said: "There was no news at first, but later I learned that the Yanshan grass bandits were involved in the robbery. Liang Zhongshu ordered the governor [Big Sword] Wen Da to raise 5,000 troops to conquer. My master Suo Chao was the vanguard and chopped [Golden Mao Jian] with a battle axe. After showing off his power, he captured and killed General Deng Tianbao, leaving only Iron Spear Wang Dashou. Seeing that the situation was not good, he fled back to the stronghold. When I left, I heard that there was no food left in the stronghold, and people came out to surrender over the wall every day. I guessed that. Now the Yanshan Dazhai has been broken.”

Zhao Zhen said: "It seems that Suotiha has been promoted one step higher by virtue of his ability to kill generals. There is a place for heroes to be useful."

Zhou Jin listened and said: "Brother Suo Chao is impatient. He just wants to fight for the sake of the country, so he fights first. Now he finally defends until the clouds clear and the moon shines. After this battle, no one in Daming Prefecture knows his name."

At night, Zhao Zhen hosted a banquet for Zhou Jin, accompanied by Yang Zhi, and the two said goodbye to each other. Yang Zhi heard that Suo Chao had made great achievements in suppressing thieves, and he wanted to be the commander of a battalion if he was rewarded for his merits. He smiled and said: "I am now in Liangshan County, and I am also the commander of a battalion of cavalry troops. I am no worse than him. Daming Mansion refuses to use brothers, so Daming Palace refuses to use brothers. The official can use you here, but I don’t know what the official’s arrangements are.”

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Zhou Jin is also from the military and has good martial arts skills. How about asking him to go to Jingmen Town and become a military envoy under his command?"

Yang Zhidao: "Brothers Suo Chao and Zhou Jin are the best in Daming Mansion. It's the best to be able to work together again now."

Zhou Jin also stood up and thanked him.
