Chapter 329 Liu Guang
Three to five days have passed since Zhao Zhen returned to the fantasy world. During this period, Zhao Zhen asked people to pick out three acres of good land in Dongxi Village and use the water that had been exposed to the sun in the main world. Cotton seeds were also planted. He also asked Tang Tian to take good care of it, and the cotton would also be promoted in the future.
Unfortunately, no one in Liangshan County had ever grown cotton. Zhao Zhen could only find two old farmers and told them the precautions he knew and asked them to follow them. After all, planting cotton only requires management. With good water, fertilizer, pruning and insect control, the harvest will not be much different.
Another thing is to send the packed [Huangshan Maofeng] and [100-year-old Huangshan Maofeng] to various good men one by one. The chief officials of each village and the county officials also have a pound [ Huangshan Maofeng].
The forty stones of ordinary tea leaves were also packed. As soon as the birthday arrangements were completed, Shi Xiu and the others were asked to take them to the north to exchange for horses.
On this day, Zhao Zhen was planning to go to Jingyang Town to have a drink with Hua Rong and other heroes. Hu Sanniang and Hua Baoyan led a group of female riders who had already harnessed their horses. The horse troops led by Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were also neatly dressed and were about to go out. At that time, Yang Xiong of the Black Tiger Temple Assembly sent someone to report that there was a group of people under the banner of Yizhou arresting thieves, and he stopped it. After asking, I found out that he was the defense envoy of Dongcheng, Yizhou, who had abandoned his official position and was on the run. Hearing that high-ranking officials were recruiting good men here, they came with their families.
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he was overjoyed: "Quickly, let brother Yang Xiong come to the village to meet you."
As he said that, Zhao Zhen said to Lu Fang and Guo Sheng beside him: "Two brothers, Let's break up today and go back to Jingyang Town another day."
Lu Fang said: "Official, there are heroes coming to surrender today. I'm waiting for all the cavalry and the army to be tied up properly. Why don't you let Guo and I go? Brother Sheng went to greet us and let the people come to see us and our troops. It can be considered as training for the march today."
Zhao Zhen looked at the cavalry in front of him and nodded: "This Liu Guang is originally from the imperial court. "Ming Guan, the two of you led a team to greet us, which also shows that I attach great importance to you."
After hearing this, Lu Fang and his two men led the team straight to Black Tiger Temple Town.
"Sanniang, are you and Sister Hua going to Jingyang Town?" Zhao Zhen turned to Hu Sanniang and asked.
"Guanren, sister Baoyan is homesick. I'll go with sister Baoyan first, and how about you go look for me later?"
"That's fine, the pigeon message has been passed on. Brother Hua Rong from the province is not worried about seeing anyone. I will go in a few days."
After Hu Sanniang and others left, Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Yuanli to prepare water and wine in preparation for receiving Liu Guang's family.
Let's talk about Lu Fang and Guo Sheng. Their cavalry galloped towards Black Tiger Temple Town. The iron hooves fell, raising dust all over the sky. The horse's mane is flying, the battle flag is flapping in the wind, and the iron halberd in the soldier's hand is like a forest.
Liu Guang and others were surprised when they saw it from a distance. Liu Qi said: "Father, I didn't expect the sergeants here in Liangshan County to be so majestic."
Liu Lin said: "Compared with the officers and soldiers of Yizhou Prefecture, , It's all mud."
Next to him, Yang Xiong said: "This capital's horse army is like the infantry in Black Tiger Temple Town. The first two are new ones. The one in red is [Xiao Wen]. Hou] Lu Fang, the one in white is [Sai Rengui] and Guo Sheng. Both are good at martial arts. They are about the same age as the two young generals. They are both young heroes. Now they are both brave generals of the horse army, guarding the high officials. "I must have heard that Mr. Liu and his family were coming, and the officials sent two generals to greet them."
While speaking, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng came to the front of the crowd and stopped. Everyone immediately bowed their hands in greeting, and Lu Fang said: "Brother Yang Xiong, is this the Liu Guang Liu Defense Envoy?"
After hearing this, Yang Xiong stepped forward and introduced him to everyone.
Guo Sheng said: "I have been ordered by the high official to come to greet Mr. Liu and his family."
Liu Guang did not dare to say so, so Lu Fang and Guo Sheng ordered to turn the horses' heads and everyone went. Baishi Manor rushed slowly. Not long after they left, they met a group of female riders. When they saw the crowd, they did not stop and galloped past the official road. When Liu Qi saw it, he pointed at the horse team going away and asked, "Brother Lu Fang, what is this?"
Lu Fang said: "This is the female cavalry team of high officials protecting the village. They were all those who had fought on the battlefield. Now they had taken refuge with the high official, and originally found a job in a silk shop, but these people were not suitable. The high official reconvened them and established a female cavalry team, headed by the high official's concubine. Sanniang, the housekeeper, Hua Baoyan, the sister of Hua Rong, the general manager of Jingyang Town [Xiao Liguang] ”
A woman at the back asked: "Can women also join the army and become generals?"
Guo Sheng said with a smile: "What's the point? These two women are not the only generals in the county. [Iron Rod] Luan Tingyu's wife [Iron Rod] Luan Tingyu's wife Flying Sword Immortal] Wu Sanniang is also the deputy envoy of the horse army. The high-ranking officials employ people in an eclectic way. Anyone of all ages, men, women, and children, as long as they have the ability, can have a place."
Liu Guangdao: "No wonder. There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that high-ranking officials have the legacy of Meng Chang. "
Liu Guang wanted to inquire, and Yang Xiong and the others did not shy away and told Liu Guang everything they knew. By the time he arrived at Baishi Manor, Liu Guang already had a preliminary understanding of Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen put down his horse cup and wanted everyone to sit down in the hall.
Zhao Zhen took the first seat, Yang Xiong and the others took the main seat on the left, and Liu Guang and his family took the guest seats on the right. Liu Guang looked up and saw two brothers, Liu Qi and Liu Lin, with their female relatives behind them. Liu Guang also introduced them one by one. Behind Liu Guang are Liu's mother and his wife, behind Liu Qi and Liu Lin are their respective wives, and the one sitting at the end is Liu Guang's daughter Liu Huiniang.
"My two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Lin, have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and they both have martial arts skills. Their two wives are also daughters of generals, and they also have some martial arts skills, but they are not very good. This daughter , is indeed the apple of my eye. She is gifted with a keen eye, able to distinguish coins at night, and can identify people within two or three hundred miles during the day. They are all commonplace. She also has a photographic memory.”
“When she was sixteen, an old nun once took her to an ancient cave in the mountains and taught her the art of war, Qimen Dunjia, and Taiyi. It took half a year to learn the art of Liu Ren, so they all called her [Female Zhuge]."
When Zhao Zhen looked at her, Liu Huiniang took off her veil, and she looked really beautiful, Pingping Tingting. , like a lotus flower emerging from the water, indescribably so delicate and beautiful.
After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen gathered his thoughts and asked: "Why did Mr. Liu give up the official position of defense envoy?"
After Liu Guang heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "It makes people furious. There is a new governor in Yizhou Prefecture, called Gao Feng. This guy is Gao Qiu's clan brother. I don't know where he learned some magic skills. He has a team leader named Ruan Qixiang, and he has a son named Zhao'er, who has the most handsome features. Ruan Qixiang wants to exploit the gap in my defense of Dongcheng and offer his son to Gao. He was appointed as a companion, and he found fault with me out of thin air, and expelled me for no reason.” , I tried my best to fight, and then I escaped from Yizhou City. Ruan Qixiang made up for the deficiencies in Dongcheng's defense, and he did all kinds of evil. I was working in Anle Village with my family, but I couldn't escape the persecution of Ruan Qixiang, so I had to raise my family. "Escape."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen sighed: "How can such a person be the governor of a mansion?"
"It's not like he has a good brother who can talk to the officials. , I heard that this guy has an elder brother named Gao Liande, who is also the governor of the house. There is no man in the family who has no official position. Most of the civil and military officials in the dynasty are evil, deceiving the wise, evil and jealous. Yes. Those who are loyal and upright are all trapped in prisons, like ghosts and monsters. Without the exception of these traitors, there is no chance for loyal ministers to advance." Liu Guang sighed.
Liu Qi also said: "Who says it's not the case? My brother and I applied for the martial arts examination. I hate that the examiner was unfair. The two yamen who were not as good at martial arts as me were also selected."
Seeing that Liu Guang's family had many complaints about the unfairness of the court, Zhao Zhen said: "What Liu Fengfeng said is right, but it's a pity that we are in a low position and have a low position, so we dare not expect anything else. Being able to protect a place and protect the people there to live and work in peace and contentment is a big deal for us." That's enough."
After hearing this, Yang Xiong and Lu Fang said repeatedly: "Yes, we and other reckless people can have a place to stay and have a place to use their martial arts. We are all high officials. "Taiqi, how is the official family, the light and darkness of the court, what does it have to do with us"
