Chapter 112 Bone Carving Peony Door Top Box Black Gold

That night, Zhao Zhen stayed at Bai Zhi's place. Early the next morning, the two went out to practice Ba Duan Jin with Jin Cuilian. This health training has now become a common activity for Zhao Zhen's family. Take this shot every morning and your whole body will be full of energy.

Although Liangshan Township now does not lack Zhao Zhen's fighting power, Zhao Zhen still practices martial arts every day. At first, although no one taught him, Zhao Zhen looked through the misty history of the past two thousand years and concluded that power can only be said to be the best of soldiers and good food.

Sufficient food refers to both grain, grass, money and silk, and of course the farmers who produce these, let’s leave them aside for now. Just talking about the word "soldiers" means nothing more than soldiers who can obey the orders, a well-equipped army (of course this is also a sign of sufficient food), generals who can conquer and fight well, and counselors who can strategize, all of which are irreplaceable.

Although personal force cannot really make one person defeat an army, heroes with strong martial arts such as Guang Hui and Bao Xu can determine the outcome of a small battle.

Secondly, in the fantasy world that Zhao Zhen lives in, reputation is also very important. Reputation can be transformed into money and strength at any time. Precisely because Zhao Zhen now has the title of Xiao Mengchang, and occupies Shuibo Liangshan, and occupies a rural area, people such as Bai Sheng, Pei Xuan, Deng Fei and others can be recruited without summoning them. Zhao Zhen practices martial arts and is able to mingle with these heroes.

Zhao Zhen is practicing martial arts. In addition, he also wants to learn some martial arts and pass them on. After all, everyone in the main world is very precious and refuses to teach them easily. It's not as good as my own fantasy world, and heroes in the world don't pay much attention to it. Of course, this also has something to do with his identity. After all, most of these heroes have a bad life. I came here to rely on Zhao Zhen for protection.

After breakfast, Bai Zhi took the dog, Jin Cuilian hugged the cat, and went out together, going to the hospital and the restaurant respectively.

Zhao Zhen took Yang Lin, Pei Xuan and other six people from yesterday and took a fast boat to Shuibo Liangshan.

In silence all the way, Zhao Zhen and others got off the boat when they arrived at the Golden Beach Water Village, followed by Ruan Xiaoqi. They all came to Shuizhai to pay their respects. Like yesterday, Zhao Zhen led Tang Long and others on a tour of Shuizhai, Tianzhuang, Wanzicheng, Liangcun, Zhangzhuang and Nanshan Pass, so that everyone could become familiar with the entire territory and get to know each other. Once again, each village is in charge.

Along the way, he saw the majestic three passes, with spears, swords and halberds like forests. Deng Fei thought to himself: "Hearing brother Yang Lin's praise, I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be such a good place. There are all the branches of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and reeds." Grass dang.”

Pei Xuan felt something while walking along the way and said: "I heard from Brother Yang Lin that Liangshan Township is prosperous. I don't think it is the place where such great achievements have been made! It is not comparable to Yinmachuan. It is just less beautiful and more dangerous."

Zhao Zhen asked: "I wonder what the scenery is like in Yinma River?"

Pei Xuandao said: "Looking at the vast wild water, there are faint green mountains all around. How many old trees reflect the remaining clouds, and a few colorful clouds float far away. It is a land of good mountains and good water. A few untalented boys camped here, and were later captured by Deng Fei and others. The two Meng Kang brothers took it."

Everyone laughed after hearing this.

After a quick walk, Pei Xuan, Deng Fei, and Meng Kang saw about 300 men and horses brought from Yinmachuan in the Wanzicheng camp, and they were practicing in the camp.

Zhao Zhen called Gao Lun and Cai Zhong and introduced them. Bai Sheng asked: "You two brothers, since you are the instructors, why don't you practice your brothers' martial arts and just let everyone move left and right?"

Han Bolong listened on the side and said: "Brother Bai Sheng, brothers Gao Lun and Cai Zhong were originally the commanders of the Xiang Army. Now they are teaching everyone the formation drill. The art of war goes like this: 'Fight after formation, the art of war.' The regularity and the wonderful use of it all come from one mind. 'First learn the array, and then teach the martial arts, then you can form an army."

After hearing this, Deng Fei also said: "Yes, everyone in the army must learn to form a formation and recognize the flag."

As evening approached, we rested at the Golden Beach Water Village. Everyone had a banquet on the golden beach, and the table was full of the lake's fresh food: fish, shrimp, turtle, crab, lotus root, water chestnut, snail, shelduck, water chicken, swan and other dishes.

Zhao Zhen sat on top, and the rest of the people sat on the left and right sides. On the right hand side from top to bottom were: Pei Xuan, Yang Lin, Tang Long, Deng Fei, Meng Kang, Bai Sheng. Ruan Xiaoqi ranked first on the left hand side, followed by Han Bolong, Du Qian, Song Wan, Tao Zongwang.

At the banquet, Zhao Zhen spoke to the people on the east side: "Brothers, now that Liangshan Township has seen it, I want Brother Pei Xuan to stay in Xixi Village, in charge of determining rewards and punishments, and to counsel on rural affairs together; Brother Tang Long is also here. In Xixi Village, control the craftsmen in the two blacksmith shops to make weapons and armor."

Zhao Zhen took a sip of tea and continued: "Liangshan Township is short of horse troops. I saw that many people in Yinmachuan can fight on horseback. After five or seven days, everyone was divided into left and right queues. Brothers Yang Lin and Deng Fei Just pick a group of men and horses and start training. Each of you will take half of the men and horses, and the Wanzicheng camp and Xixi Village will be stationed in rotation."

"Brother Meng Kang is always stationed at Jinshatan Water Village, supervising the construction of large and small ships. The brothers have also met. Now Liangshan Township only has one warship, one three-masted ship and two two-masted ships. They are considered big ships. The rest are We are good at building large boats, such as turrets, stern boats, battleships, yachts, and sea falcons, and they will be used in the future. We have also prepared some wood for shipbuilding, and they are all in this water village. "

"Brother Bai Sheng is still the deputy commander of the secret infantry. When brother Qian comes back, you two will work together and both of you will be at the village's disposal."

After everyone heard this, they stood up and bowed in response.

During the dinner, Pei Xuan said: "Master of the village, listen to this, there are many good men in the village, why don't we see them?"

Zhao Zhen pointed at Ruan Xiaoqi and said: "Xiaoqi has two direct brothers, one is called Li Di Tai Sui Ruan Xiao Er, and the other is called Short Life Er Lang Ruan Xiao Wu. They are both good at martial arts, and no one in the water kung fu village can match them. There is another hero, who is also well-known in the world. He is called the red-haired ghost Liu Tang, and he is the faceless hero stationed in Wanzicheng. These four people have now gone to Binzhou to buy salt." "The fleas on the drum are accompanied by the brothers. Zhiduoxing Wu Yong went to Yuncheng County, Jeju Prefecture, and Dongping Prefecture to do business. There is another person, known as Chao Gai, the King of Pagodas in Jianghu, who is as good at martial arts as the Guanghui brothers, and is now doing business in another world."

"When these brothers return, I will come again to have a feast and celebrate."

That night, Meng Kang, Zhao Zhen and others were left behind and returned to Xixi Village.

The next day, Zhao Zhen and Zhao Yuanli went to the bone carving workshop. Li Gu led them to a side room, pushed the door and entered. Li Gu said: "Master, this is the repaired cabinet."

When Zhao Zhen looked at it, he saw this rosewood cabinet with a high-relief Nine Dragons and Passionflower pattern on the top. Now that the cabinet door is ready, he can see that four peonies are inlaid on each of the two cabinet doors, one large and three small, which are lifelike.

Zhao Zhen praised: "Good craftsmanship."

Li Gu said: "Master, this top cabinet has been repaired, and now we are repairing another bright cabinet."

Zhao Zhen asked: "Why so fast?"

Li Gu said: "Nowadays, apprentices can be considered to have some skills. They can also make simple leaves and branches. They can choose suitable ones, which makes it much faster. In addition to this top box cabinet, they also made some small hanging screens. The owner also made some small hanging screens. Let others take them away together."

Zhao Zhen said: "Yes, it seems that these apprentices are quite dedicated."

Several people came to the yard. Zhao Zhenrang called out these apprentices and met in the yard. When Zhao Zhen saw several apprentices covered in bone fragments, they all covered their mouths and noses with towels. Seeing Zhao Zhen, he hurriedly took off the towel.

Li Gu said: "Master, these apprentices have seen my appearance before and know the crux of the problem, so they took a towel and covered their mouth and nose."

Zhao Zhen said: "Who came up with the idea?"

Everyone looked at Tang Shu, Zhao Zhen said: "It's quite smart." He took out a golden melon seed and rewarded Tang Shu. He also asked Zhao Yuanli to reward the other apprentices with 300 wen each, and Li Gu with 10 taels of silver.

Zhao Zhen sent people to take the top box and other bone carvings and returned to Zhuangzi.

Just after returning to the front hall, Pei Xuan and Deng Fei came together. Seeing Zhao Zhen, Pei Xuandao said: "Master of the village, the property of Yinmachuan was put into the treasury a few days ago. There is also a cart of property that belongs to three brothers and me. I will also present it to the owner of the village today."

Zhao Zhen said: "The gold, silver, grain and grass in Dazhai can be put into the treasury, and brothers can keep their own money. How can I seek my brother's property?"

Pei Xuan and the other two dragged Zhao Zhen out, pointed to the objects in the car and said, "Master, look, where did the gold and silver come from?"

Zhao Zhen opened the reed mat and saw a pile of large and small black iron blocks. Zhao Zhen asked doubtfully: "Brother, what is this?"

Pei Xuandao: "Master of the village, this is the black gold we found in Yinmachuan. The weapons of the three of us were made from it, and there are still a hundred kilograms left. Master of the village, Renyi, we and the three of us will discuss it." Come and present it to the owner of the village. From now on, I will follow the owner of the village wholeheartedly."

When Zhao Zhen looked at it, it turned out to be one level higher than the meteorite iron sent by Chao Gai. Immediately he thanked them and asked Zhao Yuanli to take out 30 taels of gold and distribute them to Pei Xuan, Deng Fei and Meng Kang.

Zhao Zhen explained to Zhao Yuanli again, took the top box, catch, etc., and returned to the main world by himself.
