Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

It was half a month after Dai Zong and Shi Qian came back. During this period, Zhao Zhen discussed with Xiao Rang and others and decided on the garrison personnel in each county of Yizhou.

Liu Guang, the judge, and Kong Hou, the judge, were in charge of Yizhou affairs. The two were in charge of the east and west of Yizhou respectively. The Golden Spear Camp was stationed in the city, with Xu Ning as the commander and Hao Siwen as the deputy general. There were 500 cavalry and 3,000 infantry.

Le Yao, the magistrate of Fei County, was commanded by Fan Chenglong and had 1,000 infantry. Qiu Hao, the magistrate of Cheng County, was commanded by Zhang Xianzhou and Li Fengshan, the deputy general, with 2,500 soldiers.

Shi Gugong, the magistrate of Xintai County, was commanded by Li Ying and Shi En, the deputy general, with 3,000 garrison troops, and was also in charge of Xinwen Village and Jinzhuang, with 500 soldiers.

Zhao Xin was temporarily appointed as the magistrate of Mengyin County, assisted by Gao Liangshi and Hua Diao, and commanded 2,500 soldiers. Zhaojia Village was changed into a military camp, with Xu Qing as the camp commander, commanding 500 soldiers.

The brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, commanders of Pingyi, led a mountain camp of 2,500 soldiers to garrison. The county magistrate was concurrently appointed by the magistrate Kong Hou, who handled the affairs of Pingyi, Mengyin and Xintai.

Zhen Xianglin, commander of Yishui County, commanded 1,000 soldiers. This place suffered a lot of damage. Zhao Zhen transferred Ding Chou, the chief clerk of Yuncheng, to be the county magistrate and temporarily take charge of the county affairs.

As for Yiyuan, there were not many people. Wu Yong coordinated the left and right Jianrui camps, with Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Guanghui and Deng Yuanjue as generals, and 5,000 soldiers stationed to guard against the Qingzhou thieves.

During this period, in addition to discussing the defense of Yizhou, Zhao Zhen also met with the gentry who surrendered in order.

Since Zhangzhuang Township presented the auspicious white pheasant, Zhao Zhen secretly spread the news that Zhang Chen, who was not outstanding in poetry, books and policy essays, was appointed as the head of Luji Township.

As more people knew about it, some naturally asked around about Zhao Zhen's preferences. Those with different races in their families joined Liangshan to seek a position, and naturally followed the path of Zhang Chen's family in Zhangzhuang Township, and made contributions to get positions.

Over the years, the gentry in various counties naturally accumulated a lot of wealth. According to Zhao Zhen's instructions, those who offered food, grass, cloth, gold, silver and jewelry did not have to come to the state capital to meet him.

With 1,000 dan of food, one person in the family could be a tribute student, and could go to the state school to study. After three years of studying without mistakes, he would be qualified to serve as an official, or take the imperial examination, and become an official.

This method was proposed by Zhao Zhen himself, and as soon as it was proposed, it was opposed by Xiao Rang, Pei Xuan and other civil servants. Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, don't worry. I'm not greedy for these rice grains. First, the counties have doubts about us. This method is just to reassure them. Second, it is also to make the gentry recognize us. After all, we have killed many gentry who bully men and women, are rich and unkind, and secretly obstruct the village elders who survey the land and population."

"As for the problems you are worried about, I also have ways to deal with them. The first point is the school rules. The state school has monthly and annual exams. Those who fail the monthly exams three times in a row cannot graduate. In this way, these tribute students who pay tribute cannot easily become officials. In addition, officials in various places have supervisors. If they commit crimes, they will be dismissed from office at the lightest and imprisoned at the worst. There is no preferential treatment."

"The benefit of paying tribute is just to let these gentry have a reputation, so they don't have to wear brocade clothes. In this way, the rich and powerful don't have to hide, and the government can also have more income, isn't it better."

So the strategy of paying tribute was decided.

Once implemented, many wealthy families paid donations for the status of a tribute student.

Just as Zhao Zhen expected, especially the elderly, they could not stand the constraints of the provincial school. The title of tribute student was just a way to compete with each other and show their status. A few second sons and concubines chose to enter the provincial school.

The business of silk shops has improved a lot. In addition, many bone-carved peonies and boxwood sculptures produced in the workshop have been sold.

At present, there is only one level of donation, and the status of a tribute student is the highest level. It is absolutely impossible to directly appoint an official position through donations.

The people Zhao Zhen met during this period were not the gentry and wealthy merchants who donated thousands of stones of rice and wheat.

Instead, they were the twenty or thirty people who took out treasures to offer.

According to the quality of the treasures, Zhao Zhen listened to the ideas of the people who offered them, and arranged positions for them one by one, either village heads or three elders, but none of them served in their hometowns. As for the miser who was in charge of hearing cases and collecting taxes, and the patrol who was in charge of public security and keeping out thieves, none of them were given.

Among these treasures, there are two spiritual plants, one is a peach and the other is a red chestnut.

World Log

Peach (Peach comes from Persia. The tree is five or six feet tall, four or five feet in circumference, and its leaves are like peaches but wider. It blooms in March and is white. The flowers fall and bear fruits, which are shaped like peaches but are skewed. Its flesh is bitter and unpalatable. The kernel in the kernel is sweet. It is treasured by all the countries in the Western Regions. From "Youyang Miscellaneous Recipes")

Effect 1: If you eat ten peach kernels, and your agility is less than 20, your agility will be increased by 1. (Effective for the first time)

Red chestnut (In Cangzhou, there are red chestnuts with green dates, all as big as pears. The chestnuts are green and red, shiny like dates, about two inches long, and have skin when bitten. They are not chestnuts from the human world, and the flesh is crisp and sweet like honey, and it takes a long time to eat them all.)

Effect 1: If you eat 100 red chestnuts, and your strength is less than 30, your strength will be increased by 1.

Then there are green wheat and purple rice, both of which are third-level seeds. There are about a hundred of each. But they were passed down by a poor sea merchant in Yizhou Prefecture. Now, Teng Yang, who presented the seeds, was appointed by Zhao Zhen as the manager of the caravan to assist [Ghost Face] Du Xing.

Green wheat (the grains are larger than Chinese wheat, both inside and outside are green, and the fragrance is like glutinous rice. Eating it makes the body light, and after a long time, it can resist the wind.)

Effect 1: If you eat green wheat for one month, those with less than 30 agility will have their agility increased by 1.

Purple rice (Purple rice is similar to Ju Sheng, and cooking one liter will produce one bucket of rice. Eating it will make your beard and hair black and your color will not age.)

Effect 1: If you eat purple rice for one month, those with less than 30 physical fitness will have their physical fitness increased by 1.

Then there is Zhang Yifeng from Zhongdu County, who presented a piece of ancestral donkey paper and changed his position as the village chief.

Paper Donkey (Zhang Guo) lives in seclusion in Tiaoshan Mountain in Hengzhou and often travels between Fen and Jin. He often rides on a white donkey, traveling tens of thousands of miles a day, and overlapping it when resting. It is as thick as paper and is placed in a towel box; If you pour it with water, it will turn into a donkey.)

Effect 1: You can ride for one hour every day and travel 300 miles.

There was a man in Fan County who donated a big sheep, as big as a donkey, which was already a first-level spiritual species. According to what he said, the goat was an ordinary goat. It came back from grazing in Gaoping Mountain one day and grew to such a big size the next day. I also went to the mountains to look for it and grazed it many times, but no other one has grown so big.

Green goat (first level, as big as a donkey, grows by eating a leaf of Gaopingshan ginseng fairy.)

After Zhao Zhen saw it, he heard the news clearly and remembered it in his heart.

This man is just an ordinary farmer. He has three acres of mountain land at home and more than 20 green goats, but he can barely make a living. After Zhao Zhen inquired, he sent him to Liangshan Ranch to be a deputy steward and herd cattle and sheep.

In addition to these spiritual seeds and plants that are spread throughout every county, there are also several treasures that are privately collected by each family.

Zhongmu Iron Cone (Tier 3, in the pool under the king's platform in Wei Rencheng, Zhongmu County, there is an iron cone from the Han Dynasty, six feet long, three feet into the ground, with the head pointing southwest.)

This iron cone is actually an iron hammer, weighing forty kilograms and made of Shen Tie Xuan Jing. Characteristics: Armor shattering, bludgeoning.

Grain Bi, (third level, white jade, five or six inches in diameter. Its inscriptions are made from millet grains, no different from the shape of carvings. The king who obtains it will have abundant grains.)

Characteristic 1: Increased production, where the land is rich in grain.

Red Rui Pillow (second level, like jade but chestnut, its text is reddish, but its luster is bright and clear.)

Effect 1: Sleep well. A pillow to fall asleep on, nourishing one's essence and storing one's sharpness.

Effect two: wealth.

There are also some iron materials, mostly iron materials such as meteorite and cold iron, and non-level plants that grow in the mountains and fields. They are also donated because of their strange changes and some supernatural powers. For those who contributed more, Zhao Zhen also asked them to perform duties such as correcting themselves in the village. In line with one principle, we must make the people who contribute feel value for money.

Zhao Zhen bought these items at a high price. What pleased Zhao Zhen the most was the four newly found pieces of jade and nine [World Spirits] in his hands. Zhao Zhen was smiling all throughout the first month.
