Chapter 235 Harvest
Zhao Zhen only stayed in Black Tiger Temple Town for one day, transferred Xiao Rang, left Sun An and others, and returned to Baishi Valley.
After the merits were rewarded, the sergeants returned to their respective villages, and the new heroes were well arranged. Zhao Zhen held a wine banquet for three days in a row, firstly to celebrate the return of the victory, and secondly, to celebrate the new arrivals. The heroes come to wash away the dust.
Although Zou Yuan and Zou Run came earlier than the four Shaohuashan historians, although they were assigned responsibilities, they never talked to them.
Zhao Zhen found the two of them and asked, "Brothers, you have been here in Liangshan for more than half a month. How do you feel?"
Zou Yuan said: "Officials, here we have abundant food and clothing, no shortage of wine and meat, and many brothers competing in martial arts every day. This is exactly the kind of life my uncle and nephew want to live."
Zou Run also said: "That's exactly it. , It’s a pity that there are no gambling houses here for high officials.”
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: “I also discovered this. There are indeed few places for entertainment in Liangshan County. You two are familiar with Deng Fei. Brothers Shi Yong and the Ruan brothers also said that although there are many singers in the restaurant, it is not uncommon for brothers. Wu Yong and Xiao Rang also said this, and no one objected. "
"Brothers should also know that small gambling is pleasant, but big gambling is harmful to the body. After a while, Dulonggang straightened things out, and they made a special meal in the restaurant in charge of Zhugui and Du Xing in front of Gangqian. It's a gambling house, where there are a lot of caravans, so you can go and have fun when you're not on duty."
The two looked happy after hearing this. Zou Run said: "That's good. Brother Shi Yong is also there."

Zou Yuan is comparable to Zou Run, but his force is a bit higher , can also do the Splashing Wind Ax Technique, the Flying Tiger Stick with the Back Fold, but it has the added hard Qigong of Iron Head Technique.
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, do you two have any ideas about the soldiers?"
Zou Yuan touched his head and said: "Sir, the two of us are not good at training sergeants. We came with you. Among these people, only about twenty have learned the axe-making skills of the two of us. The rest are too weak to use big axes."
"The sergeants in the army mostly use long sticks, big spears, and simple knives and heavy swords. Most of the time, these weapons are not what we are good at. This time in the battle with Zhujiazhuang, I saw that Brother Xue Yong's newly trained spears took advantage of them on the battlefield. Is it possible to train soldiers who can use axes?"
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Since the two brothers have ideas, they can be implemented now. There are currently nearly a thousand soldiers stationed in the Wanzicheng camp? "You two can select two more soldiers from the capital to teach the ax technique. I will equip them with heavy armor. From now on, they will not be weaker than the [Chongfengdu] trained by Bao Xu." Zou Run and Zou Yuan heard this. , very excited, regardless of meal time, asked Zhao Zhen to write the first order, and the two hurried to Wanzicheng to select soldiers.
Zhao Zhen was very happy when he saw the two people's enthusiasm.
After having lunch with Cheng Wan'er, Zhao Zhen saw that Cheng Wan'er was in a good mood and said: "Madam, although everything went well in the attack on Dulonggang this time, it was just because the attack was so good that both Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang surrendered early. It’s okay, we can’t launch another expedition.”
“On Wu Xuexu’s instigation, I took the third wife of Hujiazhuang as my concubine. This way, Dulonggang is absolutely safe.”
Cheng Wan’er asked: “I don’t know. What kind of character does the husband want to marry?"
Zhao Zhen said: "Madam, I have never seen her, but I heard that she is a horsewoman and is good at martial arts."
The two discussed the matter of taking concubines, and after resting for a while, Zhao Zhen went to the hall, where Wu Yong, Xiao Rang, and Pei Xuan were all there.
After seeing the ceremony, the four of them sat down. Wu Yong said: "Officials, the seizures have been clearly counted. Zhujiazhuang has 200,000 shi of grain. More than 400 war horses, pack horses, cattle and mules have been seized. There are more than a thousand large animals, a thousand sets of leather armor, three hundred iron armors, and a small amount of gold and silver. I only found more than 20,000 taels of jade, porcelain, antiques, calligraphy, and jewelry from the secret store, and three large boxes of silk. More than three thousand pieces of silk and satin."
"Advanced treasures, four sets of weapons and armor, five horses, a white jade saber, a mandarin duck pot, and a century-old ginseng plant."
< br>After Wu Yong finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Rang.
Xiao Rang said: "There are 8,000 households in the three villages of Dulonggang and 200,000 acres of fields. Excluding private land, together with Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, the county has added 100,000 acres of fields, which are still rented to households in the three villages for farming. . It is a pity that in a place as big as Dulonggang, there is only one spiritual field in Zhujiazhuang, which is five acres in size. It is not as good as Heihu Temple Town, where the spiritual field is divided into two areas, each with four acres in size. "
"In the charcoal field in Heihumiao Town, I am thinking about moving hundreds of farmers there to dig charcoal full-time in the future. I am thinking about relocating the farmers brought by brothers Shi Jin and Zou Run to Dulonggang and building a new village. "The population of Dulonggang is larger than that of Liangshan County. Although they all live in Dulonggang, the farmers whose fields are far away have built shacks in the fields. It is very inconvenient for me to live in the shacks during the busy farming season." Discuss with Brother Pei Xuan whether to split the three villages in Dulonggang, each with five to seven hundred households, and disperse them in different places. This way, the villages and fields will be close to each other, which will be much more convenient in the future. "
Wu Yongdao: "Yes, with the population of each village dispersed like this, we will naturally not dare to rebel in the future. There are sergeants stationed in the three old villages, and each of the remaining villages will form a team of village warriors, and they will only do some training in the leisure time. In this way, the province Spend a lot of money.”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded and said, “It’s a good time to take advantage of the opportunity to determine the land and select the village site so that Tao Zongwang can start the construction as soon as possible.”
Xiao Rang saw that Zhao Zhen agreed to his plan, and then said: "Master, I hope things will be easy here in Jiazhuang. I'm afraid it won't be easy to separate Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang rashly."
Zhao Zhen frowned and said nothing, but Wu Yong said: "Brother Xiao Rang, there is no need to worry about this. Just split up Zhujiazhuang first. There are also many landless farmers in Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang. When they see the benefits, they will naturally go there. Each village rents land in the county."
Zhao Zhen said: "We have to do this first."
"Xue Yongqing, can you find out his whereabouts?"
Wu Yong said: "Brothers Shi Qian and Bai Sheng have been sent out to look for traces of him a long time ago, but the two brothers have not returned yet."
Zhao Zhen also scratched his head after hearing this. After all, there must be many villages in the surrounding area due to fog. It is only two days away from Yanggu County.
We can only wait for Shi Qian and Bai Sheng to return to see if there is any news.
