Chapter 50 Before Expanding the Land
Seeing that his luck had not decreased much, Zhao Zhen let the matter go.
Zhao Zhen first went to the front yard to show his face and asked Zhao Yuanli: "Are all the teachers in the village here?"
Zhao Yuanli replied: "The Ruan brothers went out fishing and did not return, so they stayed Time, we should come back today. Master Guanghui rode to Yuncheng County to reserve the Buddha statue. He should come back tomorrow."
Zhao Zhen nodded and ordered: "Brother Ruan will give you instructions when he comes back. Let’s all rest on the farm first, not in a hurry to go fishing.”
Zhao Yuanli nodded in agreement.
While they were talking, the newly hired female envoy brought tea. Zhao Yuanli took it, added more tea, and was about to leave.
Zhao Zhen suddenly said: "Has anyone come to vote in the past few days?"
Zhao Yuanli said: "Back to the owner, no one has come to vote."
Zhao Zhen nodded and waved Zhao Yuanli to retreat. He was wondering: Why doesn't this red-haired ghost Liu Tang come?
Zhao Zhen frowned. Although he wanted to explore it, he was unable to start.
Seeing that nothing happened, Zhao Zhen was concerned about the construction of the Pagoda Temple, so he called Jiao Ting and rode together to Baishi Gang.
Along the way, the two of them walked side by side, and Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother Jiao Ting, how do you feel about the village now? Are there any shortcomings? If so, I hope you can speak out."
Jiao Ting said: "Master of the village, Sajia is a straight man. He won't hide anything, and he will never compliment the village owner unintentionally. There is no shortage of wine and meat in the village, but the village is a bit small and not lively enough."
Zhao Zhen said: "What my brother is saying is that not only is the population small now, but the territory is also not large. I am thinking of dispelling the fog and expanding the territory. I am afraid that all the brothers will have to contribute their efforts."
Jiao Ting patted his chest and said: "This matter is unavoidable. The village owner just needs to rest assured."
Zhao Zhen asked: "How is Zhuang Ding's training now?"
Jiao Ting said: " Since the owner of the village presided over the inauguration ceremony, not only Zhuang Ding has worked hard, but also the villagers have become much more diligent. Now the two managers, Zhu Sha Zhao Ji, can take office. "
Zhao Zhendao. : "This is good news. What happened to the Yiduxiang army?"
Jiao Ting said: "It's quite tame. They are all settled now. The team led by Brother Bao Xu has not been seen in the past few days. It is said that the team led by the Ruan brothers took the initiative to take over the boating business a few days ago, and most of the people went fishing with the team.”
Zhao Zhen was very happy after hearing this. While talking, they arrived at Baishi Gang, and the two climbed up the widened mountain road.
The main halls, auxiliary halls, Dharma halls, Buddhist scripture towers, and bell and drum towers in Danjianshan Temple have all begun to take shape.
Zhao Zhen and Jiao Ting looked around, found Tao Zongwang, and walked over quickly.
After seeing the gift, Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, these have only been a few days, and now everything has begun to take shape."
Tao Zongwang said: "I would also like to thank my brother for coming over. These more than 20 new people are all experienced in repairing, and there are four employed carpenters, which makes up for my shortcomings in small carpentry.
Speaking of which, I can't handle beams, columns, beams, brackets, rafters, balusters, flat seats, eaves, and lifting and folding. Repairing tables, chairs, and benches is no problem, but I'm not good at decoration.
Now let these four people be responsible for all the decorations such as hanging fish, grass, panel doors, soft doors, broken windows, ceilings, caissons, hook rails, wall hangings, furniture, etc. When completed, it will be much more beautiful. "
Zhao Zhen was also a little surprised. After a quick screening that day, he didn't expect that there were many talents among them.
Tao Zongwang said: "I have asked about it, and this Duxiang Army is just a temporary piece. Among them, one is a sergeant from Zazuodu who is following me to build the temple. The other is from Ferrytown with the Ruan family brother. As for the old and weak, they are indeed temporarily recruited villagers. Only the team led by Brother Bao Xu was eliminated from the Forbidden Army. "Jiao Ting continued: "I have also inquired about the guards, team leaders, deputy team leaders, and the flags on the left and right. They are all unsuccessful in the Forbidden Army, and their military force is not outstanding. Officer positions.
He originally wanted to transport arms, money and food and accumulate some merit, but he didn't expect that he was just a loser. The march was completely unorganized. He could go wherever he wanted, as long as he wanted to.
With this delay, everyone was unwilling to escape with him, but this man said that they were just transporting ordnance on this trip, and they were not in a hurry. They just wanted to do one thing well so that they could achieve their goals. If the crime is corrected, there will be rewards.
It turned out that a capital commander in the army heard that the officials were curious about the stone. He knew the location of the stone, so he asked the capital commander to lead people to seize it. As long as the news could not be leaked, he thought of pretending to be missing. Sergeant Qi snatched it, but an accident occurred during the snatching, and the foreign man died on the spot.
No one dared to go back to recover their lives, so they had no choice but to run along the river. Then they met the Ruan brothers. "
Zhao Zhen said: "Where is this stone now? ”
Tao Zongwang and Jiao Ting looked at each other and laughed, and said: "I asked Brother Zhusha. When the ordnance was moved, they thought it was ballast stone and did not move it. Now it has been moved to the warehouse. The village owner wants to surround the white stone hill, which can create a beautiful scenery." "
Zhao Zhen laughed after hearing this. He didn't expect this story.
Zhao Zhen asked again: "Brothers, have you gotten used to wearing armor?"
Both of them shook their heads, and Jiao Ting said: "It's very inconvenient."
Zhao Zhen said sternly: "Two brothers, be careful. We may have to fight on the battlefield in the future. Although it is a bit bulkier, the protection is comprehensive."
The two nodded in agreement and chatted some more. Seeing that the temple was being built quickly, Zhao Zhen felt relieved and left.
After leaving Baishi Gang, I first went to see the Baishi Valley grape seedlings. Although the descendants of these spiritual plants are ordinary species, they are of the highest quality. Now they are planted in Lingtian, and the vines are growing very fast and are lush and green. Climb on the shelf.
At this time, Tang Tian was leading several villagers to cultivate soil. When he saw Zhao Zhen, he hurriedly came over to see them.
After a few words, Zhao Zhen and Jiao Ting went back to the village.
After entering the front hall, the two of them sat down. Zhao Yuanli served herbal tea, which they drank in large gulps to relieve the heat.
Zhao Zhen said to Zhao Yuanli: "We will count how many people can be inaugurated, and the ceremony will be held tomorrow. From now on, it will be held every two months. If you think there is hope for being inaugurated as a hero, but if your attributes are not enough, don't worry, just strengthen training and you will be inaugurated in the future. If you have no hope of becoming a hero and your level reaches level 9, please come to the village to report, so that it will be easier to arrange for future employment."
Zhao Yuanli agreed and went to make arrangements himself.
Seeing that nothing happened, Zhao Zhen took Jiao Ting to the east courtyard to compete in swordsmanship.
Both of them used land and water swordsmanship, Zhao Zhen was weak, but Jiao Ting was familiar with the attacks, and could barely maintain it for a while.
After fighting for a while, he was out of breath and just rested. Jiao Ting kept firing. Zhao Zhen felt that his sword skills had improved again and he was happy.
That night, the three men of the Ruan family returned to the village, and Zhao Zhen prepared a banquet early. Zhao Zhen took the lead, followed by Jiao Ting, Han Bolong, Bao Xu, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Tao Zongwang.
At the banquet, Zhao Zhen brought up the matter of expanding the territory again. He only said that after much thought, he still wanted to expand the territory northward. Beixi explained the reason to all the heroes.
I have been feeling unwell in the past few days and the updates have been unstable. I apologize for this.
We have been notified by the editor and will be put on the shelves next Tuesday. Thank you for your support at that time
