Chapter 361 Liu Taigong wants to buy a "kitchen knife"
Yizhangqing Zhang Heng stepped forward and replied: "My former companion has heard news that Haizhou Pier is now full of large ships preparing for oceans. The ships are filled with water, and some ships are half filled with cargo.
It is said that in the past few months, Haizhou has been recruiting sailors and training sailors to control sails. It is said that the ocean-going ships they prepared this time are all soft sailboats, and only seven or eight people need to lift sails. This kind of ship can minimize the maneuvering sailors and increase the escort force on the ship... Hehe, now they are busy training sailors. In the guards, they must have not had time to recruit them. There are only a few patrols on the dock, and there is no one guarding them on the ship. This amount of manpower, once my army arrives, I believe... Hehe."
Wu Jialiang frowned, and Li Jinyi quickly scolded: "Tell me the key points, hurry up and talk about the key points."
Zhang Heng replied: "According to the spy, Pilihuo lives in Cuizhuang southwest of the city. The pier in Haizhou is at the east gate. There is also a Baihu Villa near the east gate. I have never seen how Cuizhuang is, but the spy said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, there are about 3,000 soldiers from Shuyang Xiangjun near the villa, who are repairing tea mountains and roads. This road starts from Hanshan in Shuyang, winds through the mountains and enters Yuntai Mountain near Haizhou, and then connects Baihu Mountain. The mountain range is thousands of miles long and is a good place to hide soldiers."
Wu Jialiang waved his hand and interrupted, "That won't affect our plan. Hurry up and send a spy to explore the mountain road leading to Baihu Mountain and Yuntai Mountain. If we can avoid it, we will avoid it..."
Speaking of which, the heroes of Liangshanbo gathered here to discuss, and there was no intention of taking the opportunity to attack Shi Chuan, but Shi Chuan still maintained an attacking and advanced posture. He walked along the road under high alert. When the figure of Liangshan heroes were no longer seen on the horizon, a delegation came over to ask: "Teacher, should you please slow down your brothers?"
"You can't stop. I guess the wave of people just now came out to explore the way. The large group of Liangshan is right in front. Now we have wolves in front and tigers in the back, so we must not relax."
In the evening, Shi Chuan's team bypassed Houqiu Town. The largest village in Shuyang was captured by the heroes of Liangshan. But strangely, they never sent anyone to stop Shi Chuan again. They ran for several miles. Seeing that the castle where Liu Taigong was located was far away, Shi Chuan tied his foot and shot a colorful rocket. Suddenly, rockets shot from above the castle at the same time responded. After a while, Liu Kuang opened the fort gate and welcomed the group leader. When he saw Shi Chuan, he immediately burst into tears: "Dalang, brother, you are here... Wuwuwu, I know you will not leave my Liu family."
Shi Chuan turned around and pointed: "Your mother and child are in the car, go and say hello... Are you suffering serious losses?"
Liu Kuang responded so much and immediately rushed to Eleventh Niang's car. Then, a Shi tribe sent to Shuyang to take care of the five thousand acres of land and answered: "Shiqilang is good. When fighting, we have to look at Shiqilang's. The local group training is the local group. These bastards can't hold back at all. They usually train well. When they meet Liangshan bandits, they only know to throw out grenades. As a result, the Liangshan gangsters took advantage of the gap and killed six people and injured more than twenty.
Fortunately, the Liangshan bandits did not dare to entangle with us. They passed through the formation and left without hesitation... Shiqilang, the cavalry charge was really terrifying. Although there were powerful tools for the regiment training, they were defeated by their speed - their speed was really unimaginable."
Stopped for a moment, in order to strengthen his tone, the Shi tribe thought for a while with a memory expression, and added again: "It's true--it's hard to imagine the speed of the cavalry without fighting with them."
Shi Chuan continued to ask: "Did those who were injured in front of you or were injured behind you?"
The Shi tribe member pulled Shitong and asked the two to the door so that the team to send the marriage to enter Liujiabao in a row. At this time, Liu Kuang followed closely behind the Eleventh Niang carriage and showed his attention, and there was no other matter in his eyes. The Shi tribe member smiled slightly at this and continued, "There are two people who died in battle, and there are three people... Hehe, the group trainers saw Liang Shan bandits rushing towards them, throwing grenades into the crowd, and they were killed together. The rest of the people were all frightened when they were beaten and stepped on and squeezed. The injuries were strange and they were probably injured... Shiqilang, after this, the local group trainers were frightened, and they would not dare to leave the fort gate even if they were killed. If Shiqilang came one day later, they might have to open the fort gate and fled in all directions."
After a while, the last wedding recipient stepped into the manor and the gate of the manor began to close. Shi Chuan finally entered the manor and immediately ordered: "The two dead who fought forward will each give 200 guan burning money, and the injured will give 15 guan to recover from the wounded. The rest of the people, the dead will burn 600 guan, and the injured will be responsible for keeping them until they are healed. After they are cured, they will be driven out of the team immediately. In the future, we must let people know: Fight forward, even if they die and injured, I, Shi, will raise him for the rest of my life; I, Shi, can help him recover the wounded, and I, Shi, are already magnanimous."
The Shi clan member stepped forward and whispered: "Brother is so kind. I originally wanted to drive them out immediately, but my brother didn't come. I was worried that it would cause a mutiny, so I endured it for the time being. Now my brother has brought a large group of people, so I might as well blow them all out."
"If you are wrong, they will be injured. We should take care of the injured. As for those who are not injured and flee first, they are the horses of the army. If you want to drive them out, you should drive them out immediately."
The Shi clan people were stunned: "Brother, the injured person is useless in the future. In the future, he will not be injured in the battlefield or fight. Let's cure him before driving him away. Isn't it a waste of money to treat the injury? Will you still be resentful? As for the intact legs and feet, you can continue to work for us after teaching a lesson. If we want to drive people away..."
Shi Chuan pointed to the Liu family manor and replied firmly: "The people who retreated at the moment claim to be smart. They hold the salary of the group training and scramble to escape from the battlefield without fighting. Letting him continue to stay in the team will only make him boast of his own intelligence and then show off in the team, which will affect the atmosphere of the entire team. Therefore, even if they are good at it, we must drive them out - what we need is not a team that will always be defeated when encountering the enemy, and our team is not a collection."
After pausing, Shitun waved his hand and signaled that the issue would not be debated anymore. He turned to Ling Fei and asked, "How is the situation there in Liu Bancheng?"
The Shi clan members immediately replied: "Liu Taigong was burned three farms. I heard that hundreds of stones of food and grass were stolen. However, Liu Taigong had a great family and had a great career. His family quickly organized more than a thousand farms. Now all the farms under the name of Liu's family have been organized. However, the group trainers are not worthy of great use. If you can keep your family, don't think about supporting each other - they dare not step out of the village.
However, Liu Taigong was very satisfied with this situation. He said: On March 3, the team that sent the marriage to Shi family will definitely set off. Even if the sky hits lightning, they will come to Shuyang. Therefore, as long as the Liu family keeps steady, they will win, fight for victory and lose on their fists, and win and lose in the last round of swords and guns. If you are the first to stand up, he will advise the team trainees not to be anxious to take revenge, so as not to fall into the trap of Liangshan."
Cut, this old fox
Shi Chuan turned his gaze to his own convoy. At this time, Liu Kuangzheng diligently helped Eleventh Niang walk out of the carriage. The new couple had a happy light, making their whole face look bright and unable to open their eyes. In the entire courtyard, everyone's focus was on them, and they turned a blind eye to everything around them. Only the other party existed in their world.
Liu Kuang went to Haizhou to get married and had been with Eleventh Lady for a while - this was also a custom in the Song Dynasty. The marriage between men and women in the Song Dynasty was the product of their mutual understanding. The determination of marriage must be made by the man himself to put a hairpin on his lover, which is considered a rule. The girls taught by Shizhang have a unique flavor that is completely different from the local women in the Song Dynasty. The style they carry can fascinate a mature man who has experienced the world, let alone Liu Kuang, a young and handsome man.
Eleventh Lady studied in the school of Cuizhuang for two years. During the past two years, the school of Shideng did not teach female commandments, the Four Books and Five Classics, all of which were very practical means of making a living, life skills, and management skills. In addition, those Indian maids also taught some knowledge of "Love Sutra" from time to time - mainly teaching how to use feminine charm, make good use of feminine strengths, and dress up to please men on and under the bed.
Therefore, the girls who came out of Cuizhuang Academy have a sense of worldly wisdom. Because of their skill, they are particularly confident in dealing with people and things, because they know that no matter what situation they encounter in the future, they will never fall into the point of being fed and fed. Therefore, their attitude towards men is not to be humble and humble—but they are by no means to look down on the condescending. The experience of Taohua Temple has taught them to be humble.
Therefore, when they get along with men, they are not arrogant or humble with intellectual beauty, but when they are conquered by love, they are very good at exerting their feminine charm - they have this kind of professional knowledge.
In this case, how could there be someone else in Liu Kuang's eyes? His world has been filled with Eleventh Lady.
On the other hand, Eleventh Lady was not as shy as a woman from the Song Dynasty at this time. She occasionally asked about the situation of the Liu family, which showed her concern for Liu Kuang. Then, she talked about her experience on the road in detail, and the experience of meeting people from Liangshan, which caused Liu Kuang to be amazed... At this time, the trainees of Cuizhuang were busy unloading their trucks and dowrying.
After waiting for a while, when the group trainers finished their work, Eleventh Lady also told the matter almost. Shi Chuan smiled, stepped forward and bowed to Liu Kuang, and asked according to etiquette: "Where is Taigong? Please take me to pay homage to Taigong."
Liu Kuang suddenly realized and quickly bowed to apologize: "I am so rude that I am laughing at my brother... Please, please go here. My father has been waiting for a long time. He is being arrogant and forgives his sins."
But Liu Kuang did not lead the way first. After Shi Chuan raised his foot, he hesitated for a moment and waited for Eleventh Lady to follow before he took a step. Eleventh Lady felt that she had not finished speaking and continued to chatter about her worries and anxiety... In this case, Liu Kuang no longer remembered the lead.
She was so obsessed with her wife before she got married... As a family member of her mother, Shi Chuan didn't mind it. He knew that Eleventh Lady was a woman after all. Although she was very calm during her encounter with a hero from Liangshan, she did not make up for the group training, but women were women after all. At this moment, she kept talking about it, which was a kind of catharsis of excessive tension and emotions. Liu Kuang's pampering and indulgence also showed that Eleventh Lady would be very happy after marriage.
Thinking back to the time, Shi Chuan's group of girls was too large. Shi Chuan didn't have a deep impression of this girl who ranked 11th in the Shi family genealogy. He only knew that this girl had more ideas. When Liu Kuang came to propose marriage, she was the first to express her willingness. Now it seems that marriage can indeed change life. Eleventh Lady, who was not very active in the past, has now become a little magpies.
After passing through the door after door, I finally saw Liu Taigong. But when I saw Liu Taigong's team, I noticed that everyone in Shuyang's Liu family was wearing dresses, including Liu Kuang who had just greeted at the door. However, Liu Kuang was a single person and did not attract everyone's attention. When many people appeared in new and branded dresses, everyone turned around and noticed that Liu Kuang was wearing a big red dress.
A young man who is about the same age as Liu Kuang came forward to greet Shi Shi. This is the eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Xu's younger brother, and Liu Kuang's older brother Liu Tong. He smiled and greeted Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi, and explained: "Taigong asked everyone to wear dresses early this morning. I can't say that the Shi family's wedding will come here on the next two days. Everyone wears the dresses so that they won't panic in a moment..."
Liu Taigong was a man in his fifties. Considering Liu Xu's age as a county magistrate, this Liu Taigong must have been a leftover man in the past. He got married at about twenty years old, so he had two brothers Liu Xu and Liu Kuang. Mrs. Liu heard that she died of dying childbirth when she gave birth to her third child. Now Liu Taigong has a lot of concubines and maids, but she has no right wife.
Liu Taigong, who was obviously an old fox, was as generous as a Lu straight man. When he saw Shi Chuan, he immediately laughed heartily: "Haha, I know Shi Dalang is not afraid of the ups and downs outside. Sure enough, I, Liu, have a marriage between this family, and it's not a loss."
After a little leaning, Liu Taigong turned his gaze to Eleventh Lady, looked less, and nodded immediately with satisfaction: "The daughter of the Shi family is indeed not worthy of the praise of "De Rong and Yi Yi, everything is the best"... OK"
Eleventh Lady stepped forward and bowed gently. Liu Taigong turned to Shichong and said generously: "Shi Dalang, my Liu family is wearing a dress today, just to hold the wedding today - although there are no greeting guests here today, I will never treat the little lady of Shih family unfairly, what do you say?"
When I put it in front of me, I bowed gently and rarely: "Liu Taigong's orders"
"Okay - Zhu, Cheng, Zhou, Wu, Wang, Zheng came up, my wife, these are the six housekeepers in our family, this is the key, this is the account book. In the future, you will be the mistress of the family, the housekeepers, come and meet your mistress."
This set of procedures should have been handed over after getting married, and the power was transferred after the daughter-in-law gained the trust of her parents-in-law. However, today Liangshan heroes are everywhere, and every household is holding on the door. The Liu family wants to hold a wedding, but there are very few congratulatory guests. In order to compensate Shi's family for sending their marriage, Liu Taigong handed over power on the spot to show his trust in Shi's daughter's mother.
Eleventh Lady refused a little and asked Shi Chuan with a thumbs up. Shi Chuan nodded without hesitation. Eleventh Lady immediately bowed and accepted the keys, account books, etc. handed over by Liu Taigong. Later, Liu Taigong shouted to his concubine and maid and concubine son and daughter: "Come here to meet the new leader of the Liu family... This is..."
After a busy introduction, Liu Taigong shouted: "In extraordinary times, we don't have so many trivialities. Come, play music, and go to the table. Today, my Liu family is married, and the visitors will never return without getting drunk..."
Indeed, this wedding could not be left according to the usual procedures. In order to arrive on the auspicious day, Eleventh Lady's dowry was not fully carried - half of the carriage were filled with grenades, gunpowder, swords and guns. It would be a joke to ask the woman to submit the dowry.
Fortunately, the Liu family's preparations were not perfect. Although it was the outskirts of Shuyang County, it was already evening. The Shuyang city gate was closed and there were no guests to congratulate at the banquet. There were only the Tuanlian who sent the wedding and the local relatives of the Liu family, so both parties were not particular.
When the music was remembered, countless servants of the Liu family carried the tables and chairs and began to arrange them. The cook who had already prepared it immediately started to cook the stove and it was hot. The banquet was presented first, which must be "watching the plate". Stacks of cold dishes were immediately filled with the tables. The servants shuttled between the tables and tried their best to persuade the guests. The drum musicians tried their best to beat the gongs and drums, and the joyful atmosphere was immediately full of excitement.
After the newlyweds finished the ceremony, they met Liu Taigong and began to enter the bridal chamber. At this time, Shi Chuan stepped forward again and paid homage to Liu Taigong as a junior in-laws. The gift he gave to Liu Taigong was a crutch sword, with a very elastic fine thorn sword hidden inside the crutch. As long as you twist the handle, you can draw out the thin sword to defend.
Liu Taigong was playing with the fine thorn sword. This weapon was the most likable in the troubled times. Liu Taigong repeatedly thrust the sword body and couldn't let it go. After a while, the groom Liu Kuang had already sent the bride into the bridal chamber and began to entertain guests. Liu Taigong waited for Liu Kuang to wear it when he finished his visit, and then he spoke - at this time, the wedding ceremony had been completed, and the two families were formal relatives.
Liu Taigong raised his crutch and pointed to the northwest direction and said, "You built that strange castle on the southern foot of Mount Han, and then named it the Fennel Castle. This name made me laugh for several days and complained that you are so uneducated... Later, my family Kuang'er said: You have always liked to grow spices. The home you live in is called White Rose Castle, and the shape of the castle is like an eight-petal rose.
I thought again, maybe you have a special habit and like to build your own courtyard in a strange way, so I forgive you - a gentleman has always been good at being "cephalic" and the house you live in should also be "cephalic" to show that you are standing tall and magnificent. And your two castles make me a little contempt... Haha, if you are not my in-laws, if you are not a famous Haizhou, if I don't know that the school you run is very outstanding, I will definitely doubt your character is not "right" and you may like to go against things.
But this time the Liangshan River gang attacked and the three manors of my Liu family were destroyed. I suddenly understood why you built your home like a fennel (commonly known as "star anise". It turned out that the forts that existed in troubled times were all so strange. Well, it is worthy of being a big child from the prime minister's family. It is my old man who has little knowledge. I am ashamed.
All the children of your Shi family are very brave. This time, in order to cover up my village, even if the people sent by your Shi family have never had the experience of fighting against the two armies, they dared to bring a hundred people to the world's famous Liangshan River gangsters, who are brave enough... Of course, they were defeated, but after the defeat, dozens of panicked team training teams fought and retreated, forcing the Liangshan River gangsters to take a detour - well, Shi family, I deserve my Liu family.
Haha, when I was young, I inherited the family business and left my father with this foundation step by step. What I am best at is understanding my own shortcomings and learning the strengths of others. After this, I also realized that the house is square and most of the farms under my name are arranged in a square manner. Although I have many villages, I always feel that there are not enough people to guard them.
I have thought about your fennel burger these days, and it is indeed incredible. Now that you are here, it's great, and I don't say anything. The world is getting more and more chaotic. Shuyang was originally a granary in Haizhou, and I will be bound to be bandits in the future... For the sake of my daughter-in-law, if you borrow Hanshan Fennel burger for a few days, I will also rebuild this house and build a fort similar to Fennel burger. I have money on hand and have enough farmers in my name. However, I don't like the shape of fennel star anise, nor do I like the shape of rose petals. You can think of another way to help me design a slightly more regular fort."
Shi Chuan shook his head with a smile: "Taigong, the bastion, the defense specialty lies in its narrow tentacles. This tentacle makes the opponent's attack surface narrow, and there is not enough manpower to organize the attack at one time. If the corners of the bastion are straightened, how can you defend?"
Liu Taigong is a big bully who occupies half of the county town. Such people have been taking over and extorting them for a long time. He doesn't listen to other people's explanations at all. He just talks according to his own ideas: "It's the first month of the year, and it's clear that spring plows are coming to the countryside, but the people dare not go to the ground to farm. Now, the harvest this year will be delayed again - in-laws, nephews, your sister's dowry knife and scissors are very sharp. I heard that you have shares in Duan Xiaopiao's workshop. Since that Xiaopiao can make the knife and scissors so sharp, can a bigger guy make it? For example, how many times longer than a kitchen knife and thinner the blade, how about it?"
This Liu Taigong is quite cunning. Although the grocery store knives in the Song Dynasty did not require "real-name system", the kind of knife described by Liu Taigong is usually called "Pu Dao".
That's a weapon.
Shi Chuan smiled: "This time I brought 220 team trainers, and each waist was equipped with the kind of "kitchen knife" mentioned by Taigong. If Taigong likes it, I will let them leave this "kitchen knife" and then go back empty-handed."
Liu Taigong shook his head: "The Liangshan bandits can't leave for a while. Since you can get this kind of "kitchen knife", I will send 500 servants to go home with you. When they return, you will let those servants carry four "kitchen knife" with you... If the Duan family has gun heads and crossbows for sale, the more they will be better."
Shi Chuan smiled and said, "My grandfather, I'm not in a hurry to go back. This time I'm here to see you off, and then I'll go to Shuyang County to make a trip - the father of my wife E Niang is Huang Magistrate."
Liu Taigong turned to Liu Kuang and said, "Now that the land cannot be settled, the farming has been delayed. Let's just make a ruthless man and order all the men over fifteen years old in the farmhouse to gather together and send a thousand people to follow your brother to Shuyang County. When you arrive in the city, you will buy all the iron tools of the blacksmith shop for me and transport them to my Liujiazhuang. Liangshan River gangs did not let us go to the fields to farm, so we will fight with them."

Chapter completed!
