Water Margin official

As the sun rises to the top of the sky, the land of the Song Dynasty has lost two beautiful girls and sisters, but has gained two charming young women.

When Zhang Zhengdao stood up, several waves of people had already come and left outside the door. But when they heard the movement in the room, they all spat lightly, turned around and left with a blushing face.

Pushing open the door, bright sunlight hit his face, and Zhang Zhengdao stretched.

On the fire bed, Zheng Aixiang endured her physical discomfort, stood up and dressed, preparing to wash up for the high-ranking official.

Zhang Zhengdao waved his hand, indicating that she and Zheng Aiyue should have a good rest.

After that, he went to the bathroom, took a shower, washed himself, and put on clean clothes.

After breakfast, I went to Yu's room to say hello.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Jia is also there.

Now, when this beautiful woman sees Zhang Zhengdao, her face turns red and her eyes are nowhere to be found.

Mrs. Yu asked: "Da Lang, yesterday my mother heard the sound of war drums, but what happened?"

Zhang Zhengdao replied: "Mom, it's nothing big, it's just that the village has recruited four new heroes."

Mrs. Yu nodded and said, "It'll be fine if nothing happens."

Since arriving in Liangshan, Mrs. Yu has often been uneasy and always worried. She is worried that the stronghold will be attacked by the army. The whole family of the Zhang family will be escorted to Bianliang City and executed in Lingchi.

Zhang Zhengdao comforted and said: "Mom, I have more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in my hands now. Even if one hundred thousand officers and soldiers come to conquer, they still can't break Liangshan."

Mrs. Jia said: "The old man has a gully in his chest. I often hear the sound of soldiers and horses training. Sister, there is no need to worry."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "If Mom feels uneasy living here in Liangshan, how about moving to Jeju Island?"

Mrs. Yu shook her head and said, "My mother feels at ease when Da Lang is by my side."

Mrs. Jia also said: "That's what my sister said."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhengdao stopped mentioning moving to Jeju Island.

After talking for a while, Zhang Zhengdao stood up and left.

Mrs. Jia stood up at the same time and said, "I'm going to see my daughter."

Mrs. Yu smiled and asked, "I heard from Yulian that my sister has also been playing mahjong these past two days?"

Mrs. Jia thought about it and smiled back: "How about I call Da Lang's wives and concubines to have a round with my sister."

Mrs. Yu nodded and asked curiously: "Is mahjong really that interesting?"

Mrs. Jia smiled and said: "Sister, after playing a few rounds, you will understand the fun of it."

"I heard that Da Lang figured out this mahjong tile?" Mrs. Jia looked at Zhang Zhengdao with bright eyes.

"I have nothing to do. Let's invent a gadget to prevent Xiang'er and the others from being bored all day long." Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile.

Mrs. Yu said: "That mother would like to try my son's whimsical idea."

After leaving Mrs. Yu's room with Mrs. Jia and walking to a deserted place, Zhang Zhengdao suddenly whispered: "Don't lock the door at night!"

Mrs. Jia's face turned red and she said nothing.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "In two days, I will go to Jingnan. I don't know when I will be back."

The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Her beautiful eyes were full of worry. She raised her head and asked, "Why don't you go?"

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and said: "I have to go there."

Mrs. Jia was silent for a moment, then whispered: "I didn't tighten the bolt last night."

After saying these words, she was already shy and shy.

Zhang Zhengdao had a smile on his face, laughed three times, and then left the back mountain and rushed to the Juyi Hall in the front mountain.

Fang Xueduzheng was discussing something with Fan Rui and Qiao Daoqing. When he saw Zhang Zhengdao entering the hall, he quickly stood up to greet him.

After the minion brought the tea soup, Zhang Zhengdao took a sip and asked: "Mr. Fang, how many people have we attracted to our village now?"

Fang Xuedu replied: "In the past two months, it is the spring famine season. People around me heard about my benevolence and righteousness in Liangshan and came to join me one after another. Now there are 2,000 households in the back mountain, with no less than 5,000 people."

Zhang Zhengdao ordered: "When the copycat ship comes back, load them all on the ship and send them to Jeju Island."

Fang Xuedu asked: "How many families of people does the village owner plan to move to Jeju Island?"

Zhang Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "Thirty thousand households!"

Based on the calculation of four people per household, 30,000 households equals 120,000 people, enough to support 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers in Liangshan.

Qiao Daoqing had heard Fang Xuedu's introduction before and had a general understanding of the current situation in Liangshan. He now said: "Zhao Master, the village is in short supply of food and grass right now. It is better to send people to Jiangnan to buy food."

Zhang Zhengdao asked: "How much money does Shanzhai have?"

Fan Rui opened a book and replied: "There are fifty thousand coins in the warehouse."

"In addition, there are 100,000 yuan, which is the personal property of the village owner." Fan Rui said again.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "If the village is short of money, I will use it first."

Thinking of the rising food prices in the Song Dynasty in the future, Zhang Zhengdao ordered: "Deploy twenty passenger ships from the Tidelang Navy to go to Jiangnan and other places to buy grain, and first fill the rice warehouses in the village."<

"Purchase more food for an army of 100,000 for at least two years and transport it all to Jeju Island." Zhang Zhengdao thought for a moment and then said.

The three of them knew that the leader of the village was preparing for the conquest of Goryeo. Fan Rui took the initiative to invite him and said, "My little brother will go to Jiangnan to buy food in person."

Zhang Zhengdao then ordered: "In addition to food, we must also purchase a large amount of winter clothes, quilts and other items to keep out the cold, and transport them all to Jeju Island."

"Don't be stingy with your money, exchange it all for food, grass, winter clothes, etc. As long as you conquer Korea, all the money spent will naturally come back." Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile.

Fang Xuedu also laughed and said: "Don't worry, owner of the village, there will be no money left."

Zhang Zhengdao thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It is the end of May in the third year of Zhenghe. I hope that by the end of the year, we will have 50,000 soldiers in Liangshan, and within two or three years, we can completely defeat the Kingdom of Goryeo and help my brothers in the village.

, find a career."

Fang Xuedu made some calculations in his mind and said: "If we are to conquer Korea, we will need at least 100,000 elite soldiers who are good at fighting."

"You can buy food and grass, but it's hard to buy weapons and armor." Fang Xuedu frowned.

"This is a problem." Zhang Zhengdao touched his chin. Money and food were easy to solve, but armor, weapons and horses, which were prohibited items among the people, were really difficult to obtain.

"Intensify our efforts to recruit craftsmen and build them day and night. I will find a way to solve the remaining balance." At the moment, Zhang Zhengdao can only rely on the craftsmen's workshops in the village to support the needs of the army.

Qiao Daoqing offered his advice: "The leader of the village, it is better to break down some state capitals and plunder their grain, grass and soldiers."

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and said: "As a last resort, try not to act like this. Before the victory of Goryeo, we cannot let the court pay attention to Liangshan."

"Let's leave this limelight to Tian Hu!" Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile.

Qiao Daoqing said: "It is said that Tian Hu's men have gathered 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses."

Fang Xuedu said: "This man is too cruel. If the imperial court dispatches a Western army to conquer him, he will be defeated in less than half a year."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "It depends on how long Tian Hu can last."

After everyone discussed the matters in the village, Zhang Zhengdao got up and took Qiao Daoqing to Bian Xiang's camp.

After passing the third pass, you heard the sound of galloping horses, but it was Bian Xiang and others who were training the flying cavalry.

Sun An, Shan Shiqi, and Wei Sheng, who went up the mountain yesterday, are also here to watch the cavalry drill.

"I've met the village leader!" When the three of them saw Zhang Zhengdao and Qiao Daoqing arriving together, they all stepped forward to pay their respects.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Brothers, how about the Flying Cavalry Army trained by Brother Bian Xiang?"

Su Sheng shouted: "I feel that there is a murderous aura, but the number of people is small."

Sun An said, "Soldiers are more valuable than elites. Brothers Bian Xiang's cavalry battalion is very powerful in training."

Zhang Zhengdao sighed: "The village has been short of horses, and it was not easy to get this battalion of horse troops together."

Shan Shiqi heard this and said, "Why doesn't the village owner send someone to the north to buy horses?"

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "The Shanzhai has never had talents in this field. Do the Shiqi brothers have anyone who is familiar with the situation in the North and is responsible for buying horses for the Shanzhai?"
