Chapter 202 Shi Nai'an is Bian Yuanheng's cousin

This time, a total of dozens of Tianque shot from the base, 20 shots were brought to Tang He, because he had to take on the task of protecting the base and patrolling on the water. Tianque shot was the most suitable weapon, leaving ten shots for Shiyi. Now there are still 35 shots left, 10 shots each for the third and fourth battalions. I can still leave 15 shots for me. My own base camp equipment.

The first thing to do when she came back was to let Lv Zhen lead someone to circle Dingxichang as a place as a high secret, and then send a 100-person team of three patrols in the base camp to guard the place, wait for Shide to come over, and then start work immediately.

The location is naturally next to the place by the river, which is convenient for ships to transport goods back and forth. There is also the original military camp of the Tartars next to it. Now the barracks of the team are temporarily stationed here, vacating it as a living area. In this way, the workers' living areas and working areas are next to each other, trying their best to isolate them from the outside world and reduce the leakage. Although the workers can abide by their prior agreement after this period of performance, they still take protective measures to prevent the secret of this coarse salt purification from leaking.

"Brother, do you call us?" Lu Zhen and Bian Yuanheng came in.

"Yes, I'm not here these days. How's the team training going?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Brother, is there another war?" Lu Zhen asked.

"There are so many battles. It depends on how we fight, but the team must be trained. What I want is not a farmer with a spear. What I want is an elite who can fight face to face with the tartar." Zhang Yang said.

"Don't worry, brother, my current team is the horse of the Tatars running to him. Without an order, it will not retreat. Even if the horse's hoof steps on the head, it can still insert the spear into the horse's stomach without changing its face." Bian Yuanheng said.

"This time I returned to the base, I brought dozens of Tianque, and your 3rd and 4th battalions, each equipped with ten pieces." Zhang Yang said.

Hearing that there was a sky, the two of them were happy at first, and then looked sad: "Brother, can you give me more? With just a few shots, I can't score.

"Okay, then don't divide it. Give me the base camp with unified equipment." Zhang Yang said.

The two immediately changed their tone: "No, no, no matter how small the ants are, they are still meat. Although they are a little less, it's better than nothing!"

Zhang Yang smiled secretly in his stomach. These people all wanted to rush for Tianque. They all thought it was too little, but there was nothing he could do. The production capacity of Tianque was limited. It took a few months to be fully equipped, but time did not wait for anyone.

"Lv Zhen, in addition to training, your team will give you another task." Zhang Yang said.

"Yes, brother, I promise to complete the task." Before Lv Zhen heard what the task was, she patted her chest and answered.

"It's time to restart the salt farm. You send a hundred-person team to build a wall in the middle of the salt farm, separate the salt farm, vacate the two hundred-person teams' houses over there, and circle the wall." Zhang Yang said while pointing to the terrain outside the window.

Is it that simple? What kind of task did he think the eldest brother gave him? It was so simple. It was a mason's job. He sent a hundred-man team and finished it in two days.

"Brother, does anyone want to join us?" Bian Yuanheng asked.

Bian Yuanheng reacted quickly and immediately thought that there must be something wrong when the eldest brother asked to vacate this place.

"I plan to purify the coarse salt and move it here. In the future, the base will make special weapons." Zhang Yang said.

The two looked at each other and were a little surprised, but after careful consideration, the benefits of the eldest brother doing this are very obvious. The salt here in the salt farm does not need to be transferred in rounds and turns. Here, it is directly converted into refined salt and shipped for sale. The profit must be very high. The base, which is specially used to make weapons, will definitely increase manpower and increase the production of Tianque.

"I see, big brother." Lv Zhen said.

"The wall must be built higher to prevent being peeped by outsiders. The work of confidentiality must be done well." Zhang Yang said.

"Yes, big brother."

"Go back to training." Zhang Yang said.

Lv Zhen walked out, but Bian Yuanheng was slow and did not move.

"Yuan Heng, what else can I do?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Brother, now that our team has just been established, it is the time to employ people. I want to recommend someone to you." Bian Yuanheng said.

" OK, what's wrong with you? I welcome everyone who is on the same front as us. Zhang Yang said.

"This man is my cousin, and he used to be an official for the tars. So, I'm afraid..." Bian Yuanheng was a little hesitant.

"I once worked as an official for the tars, why didn't I do it later?" Zhang Yang asked.

"I was an official twice because of his integrity, sympathizing with the people, regardless of what the Tutar did, and resigned angrily."

"What are you afraid of such a person? I just like such people. Our team needs such people. Zhang Yang said that an upright official was naturally excluded everywhere in the system of the Yuan Dynasty, and this kind of person was exactly what he needed. "What's your cousin's name?"

"His original name is Shi Yanduan, and his name is Nai'an." Bian Yuanheng said.

Shi Yanduan, the word Nai'an, isn't that Shi Nai'an? Zhang Yang was excited. When he mentioned Shi Nai'an, who didn't know, who didn't know. The Water Margin was one of the four masterpieces.

"Where is he? Take me there quickly." Zhang Yang said impatiently.

Bian Yuanheng was shocked. Looking at his eldest brother like this, it was like a cat seeing a mouse. He couldn't wait. Did he know his cousin very well? Why is it like a brother who has been separated for many years and can meet soon?

"He is now living in Huajiaduo. He doesn't care about the world. He seems to be writing a book, but my cousin has participated in the imperial examination twice and won the Jinshi. He is a talent. He is so nestled in the countryside. I am not wrong for him, so I want to recommend him to my eldest brother."

"Quick, we'll go right away." Zhang Yang can't wait for Bian Yuanheng to say so much. Huajiahu is a village near Baijuchang. He knows this place, which is very close to his Zhangjiadun, far away from the sky and close in front of him. However, Zhang Yang has been busy in the salt farm, and he has never heard of such a big man living nearby.

"Shixin, prepare horses, gather a team and get ready to go!" Zhang Yang shouted.

"Yuan Heng, you go with me." Zhang Yang said.

"Yes, big brother." Bian Yuanheng saw that his eldest brother was so excited, and he was also very happy. It seemed that his cousin was very famous, and his face was also very glorious.

The horses ran, and the horses' hoofs raised a piece of dust on the official road by the river. More than a dozen people rode their horses and ran to the north at a speed.

Shi Nai'an, Shi Nai'an, why are you here? There is only one Li Shanchang, which is far from enough. This time, he must persuade Shi Nai'an to join his team.

Zhang Yang's time travel made Zhang Shicheng rise several months earlier. However, throughout the whole history, it is still proceeding in the original direction. Shi Nai'an is still waiting for the Ming Lord, who is Zhang Shicheng.

Shi Nai'an, his real name is Yan Duan, also known as Zi'an, his name is Nai'an. In his childhood, he was extremely smart, so his father Shi Yuande sent him to Baijuchang in the east corner of Hailing to study. His childhood was branded with a white pupe. He was diligent and eager to learn, and he was quick-thinking, and soon grew into a well-eded scholar.

Bian Yuanheng was born a few years later than Shi Nai'an, but he did not like reading. Instead, he liked to dance knives and swords. Later, because of his bravery, he killed the governor of Yancheng. He was wanted, so he had to hide his name and went to Furong Village, settled down and became a hunter.

Shi Nai'an's official career was full of twists and turns. At the age of 19, he first got involved in the field of science and became a scholar in one fell swoop; but it was not until the age of 30, that he was admitted as a scholar. After that, I went to most of them to participate in the Jinshi scientific examination. He was full of ambition and looked forward to the title of the gold list. Unexpectedly, it backfired, but the name fell into Sunshan. He was deeply ashamed to live up to the high expectations of his father and fellow villagers. He was famous for his reputation and had no face to go home.

Fortunately, he met a good friend Liu Benshan in most of the cities. After many points, it happened that there was a shortage of training in Yuncheng County, Shandong Province, so he recommended Shi Nai'an to take up his post.

During his time in Yuncheng, Shi Nai'an became an official and naturally wanted to realize his dream. He advocated learning, was honest with the public, sympathized with the people, and guided Nong Sang. However, in such an officialdom of the Yuan Dynasty, his integrity caused the dissatisfaction of his superiors and local gentry, and he was always harassed. Especially under the false accusation of a gentleman named Wu Lin, Shi Nai'an finally realized the darkness of the officialdom and the difficulty of walking, so he resigned angrily.

During this period, Shi Nai'an not only experienced the difficulty of being a clean official, but also let him see the darkness of society. Moreover, he also walked around and visited the scenic spots in Luzhong: Shuibao Village visited the descendants of Songjiang, Jingyanggang paid homage to Wusong Temple, Shijie Village visited Sanxiantong, and Huangduiji (i.e. Huangnigang) to inspect the robbery of the "gang" site. The Lion Tower listens to the storytelling. Listen to the woodcutter's morning song, sing with the fisherman in the evening, cross the golden beach, pass through the golden pavilion, cross the black wind, and climb the mountain road. His experience in Yuncheng has made him accumulate rich materials.

The following year, Xin Wei, Shi Nai'an was 35 years old. The Yuan court held another special scientific examination. Shi Nai'an's desire to be an official was not exhausted, and he traveled a long way to the capital again. This time, he achieved positive results and won the title of being a scholar. He was appointed to Qiantang as the county governor.

However, Shi Nai'an did not learn the "lesson" for the first time. Although his official was tall, he still adhered to his surname. He advocated farming, light taxes, enforced the law impartially, and suppressed the strong. Shi Nai'an's upright behavior is always intervened by Qiantang Dalu Huachi. The experience of being an official twice made him realize that in this court divided into four people, his ideals and ambitions could not be realized. Therefore, he resigned again and had been away from home for more than ten years.

This time, he completely gave up. He no longer pursued his official career, and his idea of going home became stronger and stronger, so he rushed back to Gaoyou from Qiantang. However, everything in the family had changed. His wife, Mrs. Ji, died of illness earlier than the year before; his father was also ill in bed and died soon after. He was heartbroken and lamented that he was playing tricks on people. More than ten years of experience made him realize a lot. Soon after, he continued to teach and farm, cultivate and read two lines, and became a rural Confucian who did not care about the world.

At this time, Shi Nai'an was hidden in the city. In addition to teaching, he took the Song Dynasty's "Xuanhe Legacy" as the model to exaggerate and began to write "Jianghu Haoke Biography". That is, the Water Margin passed down from later generations.

If there is no Zhang Yang's uprising, Xinghua is still in stability. However, Zhang Yang has raised the flag of righteousness. Although Shi Nai'an has passed the age of angry youth, his desire to benefit the people and resist power is getting stronger and stronger.

"Brother, it's in front." Bian Yuanheng said.

The ordinary thatched hut has been a little dilapidated. In the cold wind in winter, it trembled slightly, and a couplet on the door was torn by the cold wind.

"Wu Xing Mian Shize, Chu Shui sealed Mingyan" Zhang Yang silently read that the meaning of this is probably the current Shi Nai'an, who is now at ease in seclusion in the water town and writing a book.

In the past, it was said that Liu Bei visited Caolu three times, but now Zhang Yang asked Shi Nai'an to come out of the mountain. Will he agree? Zhang Yang made up his mind to invite him out three times, five times, or ten times.

Besides, I still have Bian Yuanheng. There is always some affection between the two cousins, right?

"C cousin, is your cousin at home?" Bian Yuanheng shouted in a loud voice.

"Squeak," with Bian Yuanheng's shouting, the door was opened. A middle-aged woman, with a wooden hairpin in her head, wearing an ordinary plain white long brocade coat, looked at several people in front of the courtyard door curiously.

They led the war horses, dressed in coarse cloth, and carried a strange weapon on their backs. They were all majestic. The two leading two were even more brilliant. At first glance, they were not ordinary people.

"Who are you looking for?" She asked.

"Do you dare to ask, sister-in-law? My younger brother came to find his cousin Shi Nai'an. Bian Yuanheng bent down and bowed.

"Are you?" The person who opened the door was Shi Nai'an's sequel, but she didn't know what cousin Shi Nai'an had.

"My little brother is Bian Yuanheng. Is my cousin at home?" Bian Yuanheng doesn't know Shen either. He can only recognize his cousin.

"He went to the storyteller on the south side of Beibao Temple to listen to people's books, but he hasn't come back yet." Shen replied skeptically.

It turns out that anyone who writes a book has to accumulate materials. This Shi Nai'an also likes to listen to people's stories to improve the thinking of his novels.

It seems that it will be useless this time?

Originally, Shen was going to welcome them into the house, but looking at them and her group, she hesitated in her heart. There was a murderous atmosphere in these people. I'm afraid that the comers were not good.

"Then I'm going to bother my sister-in-law. Let's change it to come again." Zhang Yang opened his mouth to speak.

Bian Yuanheng heard the helplessness in his eldest brother's mouth, but he couldn't do anything about it. This time, he was to persuade his cousin to come out of the mountain, but he couldn't be rude. Besides, although he closed the door, he was a cousin's sister-in-law. What can he do?

He turned his head and was ready to lead the horse back.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and two people slowly came to the path in the distance.

Wearing a long coat, a pair of trousers and a pair of black cloth shoes. His hair was tied up, tied into a bun, and he held a wine pot in his left hand. His pace was steady, his eyes were shining, and his mouth was still shouting: "It's really gratifying. It's really gratifying. The land has been distributed to the farmers, so that the farmers will never be bullied by the rich landlords!"

"Teacher, please be quiet. If you are heard by the people of the court, there will be a big disaster." Another man said in the back that he looked much younger and was a student of Shi Nai'an.

"In the middle, a good man dares to be a good man, and it is not in vain to come to the world." As he spoke, he was suddenly stunned. When did such a group of people come in front of his house? They are all holding horses. What kind of big man is he?

"C cousin!" Bian Yuanheng had recognized that that person was his cousin Shi Nai'an, and quickly shouted.

Shi Nai'an fixed his eyes: Although it has become a little higher than the original, the outline of the eyebrows is the same as before, and it is his cousin Bian Yuanheng.

"Yuan Heng!" Shi Nai'an shouted, "Why are you here? Since you killed the governor in Yancheng last time, I haven't heard from you. I didn't expect to see you again.

"Yes, cousin, I just heard that you have moved to Baiju. Let me introduce you. This is my eldest brother, Zhang Shicheng."

"Are you Zhang Shicheng?" Shi Nai'an opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhang Yang in disbelief.

"Yes, I am, if it's fake." Zhang Yang said and looked at the people behind Shi Nai'an. He also asked in disbelief, "Is this Luo Guanzhong?"

The man behind him was stunned: "Yes, how do you know my name?"

Bian Yuanheng is also confused. Why doesn't he seem to know each other? Why do they all know each other?

The wind just blew over, and Zhang Yang heard the dialogue between the two of them clearly. Although he only called the word "Guanzhong", there was no doubt that it must be Luo Guanzhong. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?

At this time, Luo Guanzhong was still a young man. He worshipped Shi Nai'an and finally became a great writer.

Zhang Yang's heart moved. One was also pulled, and two were also pulled. Pull both of them into the group.

"Please sit in the cold house," Shi Nai'an said, "Madam, what are you still doing? Let the guests enter the room quickly."

Only then was Shen sure that it was really his relative. He quickly lifted the curtain and said, "Please come in."

Zhang Yang asked the guard to wait outside, and politely with Shi Nai'an before entering the door.

Although there are only three thatched huts, they are very tasteful. Facing the main door is a screen. Behind the screen is a desk with some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. One of them, Haoran is in his eyes: a majestic man is riding on a big tiger with white eyes, and his strong fist is greeting the tiger's head.

The more I look at it, the more familiar I feel. How can the strong man who beats the tiger be somewhat similar to Bian Yuanheng?

"This is what I drew when I was writing the book." Shi Nai'an looked at Zhang Yang looking at the painting and explained.

"I dare to ask sir, why is this Wu Song fighting tiger a little similar to Yuan Heng?" Zhang Yang still asked curiously.

"This..." Shi Nai'an said, "The characters in the book naturally come from real life, and they are sublimated from real life. Wu Song beat the tiger, and Yuan Heng also beat the tiger empty-handed, so I connected the two together."

Zhang Yang turned his head and looked at Bian Yuanheng in disbelief: You boy, have you ever hit the tiger empty-handed?

"That's true," Bian Yuanheng said, "It's just that I didn't kill the tiger with my fist, but kicked it with my foot. As a result, it hit the tiger's jaw, which is the key acupuncture point of the tiger. It's like hitting a person's temple, pure luck and luck."

"When the teacher wrote this paragraph, while writing, he was still recalling the process of fighting the tiger of the strong man. It was called writing Wu Song, but in fact, it was written about you." Luo Guanzhong said aside.

Bian Yuanheng was a little fluttering. He once killed the tiger empty-handed, which was also a resounding man. However, no matter how majestic the tiger was, it was not as enjoyable as the current Tatar. He remembered the purpose of this time and wanted to change the topic.

"How well it is written in the book, it is also empty talk. How good it would be if it could realize my cousin's wish."
