The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Ever since Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian went to Liangshan, the job of copying office has become easier. The two of them usually do high-level writing work, and copying is just a child's work for them.

It's just that the two of them are in a very bad state. They often lie on the table as if animals have entered hibernation, and they don't move.

Occasionally the two would communicate, Xiao Rang first said: "I regret it, I regret it, I shouldn't be greedy for the 50 taels of silver job, if I don't accept it, I won't go up the mountain."

Jin Dajian also said: "I regret it."

Then he sighed.

The two of them took a random job at the foot of the mountain, and it cost dozens of taels of silver. They had a house, a wife and children, and lived a happy life. They didn't expect to be targeted by Liang Shan and forced to fall into the grass.Forget it, the fake document certificates before are useless, and now they are thrown in the copy room like waste.

The two were so bored that they were moldy. As the saying goes, when a monk hits the clock one day, they don't want to be monks, let alone hit the clock.

"Do you want to eat candied fruit?"

Xiao Rang found that there was an extra fruit plate in front of him, which contained various snacks, and then he looked up to see Sun Xiaowu standing in front of him.

This Sun Xiaowu was his colleague in copying the office, but I heard that he took the initiative to defect to Liangshan, and he lived happily every day, and he didn't see any worries.At this moment, he is also full of energy, and this energy is enviable to the depressed Xiao Rang.

But Xiao Rang didn't have any appetite, "Thank you...no need."

"This is not for nothing, can you teach me how to write hundreds of fonts?" Gao Ming especially wants to learn his father's fonts, Cai Jing's is also fine, anyway, idle is idle, isn't it good to learn some skills? .

Xiao Rang regained his energy all of a sudden, he was growing bored, suddenly a student came to study on his own initiative, just looking for something to do, he immediately agreed, "Yes, as long as you want to learn."

Jin Dajian who was at the side was inspired and said to Gao Ming: "I can also teach you how to carve seals!"

"Thank you, I won't learn to engrave seals." Learning to write is fine, but engraving seals is unnecessary, and I don't need it on weekdays.

Jin Dajian persuaded: "Engraving seals is a more difficult craft to learn. If you learn it well, you will not have to worry about food in your life. If I carve an inscription at the foot of the mountain, I can earn 100 taels."

Gao Ming was not moved at all, he frowned at Jin Dajian and shook his head.

Just when Jin Dajian and Xiao Rang were vying for students, Xiao Rang had already prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones and started teaching, "Speaking of Gao Qi's fonts, he worked under Su Xueshi's school, so his fonts were affected. Influenced by Bachelor of the Great Su, but different..."

Gao Ming could only say sorry to Jin Dajian, sat down at the table, carefully watched how Xiao Rang wrote, and experienced the essence of calligraphy.

Hao Shengyuan was snatched away by Xiao Rang, and Jin Dajian cast his eyes on Wang Yi, but he saw Wang Yi closing his eyes and massaging the corners of his eyes. Thinking of Wang Yi's eye condition, Jin Dajian had no choice but to give up.

Looking at Xiao Rang who was immersed in the strong teaching atmosphere and enjoying the fragrance of peaches and plums, Jin Dajian sighed deeply.

Gao Ming felt guilty that he and Xiao Rang's happiness was based on Jin Dajian's pain, but he couldn't help it, he really didn't want to learn how to engrave seals.

Engraving seals requires finger strength, otherwise it may cause injuries, too tiring, and not suitable for him.

Suddenly, he came up with an idea, and said to Jin Dajian: "There is no need for stamps on the documents on Liangshan, and no one engraves inscriptions. The demand is too little, why not change careers."

"Which line should I change to?" Jin Dajian asked dejectedly.

"Change to work as a Zhagong." Zhagong is a tattoo artist, a person who is in the rivers and lakes, how can he not have a tattoo on his body.

Jin Dajian is known as a jade-arm craftsman, there are no pictures and texts that he can't carve, and it is easy to change to a craftsman.

"...um...let me think about it..." Jin Dajian didn't agree outright, but he also took Gao Ming's suggestion to heart.

-

Hua Rong discovered that Gao Ming had been running very diligently to the copy room recently, and sometimes he would practice calligraphy under the lamp when he came back at night.

After asking, I found out that I was imitating Gao Qi's handwriting with Xiao Rang, Hua Rong couldn't help laughing: "If the Taiwei knows that you didn't work so hard in the Imperial College, but came to Liangshan to work so hard, I don't know how you feel."

"No way, there are too many things to do in Tokyo. Who wants to study? Now there are so many rough men, and there is no entertainment. Why don't you study?"

The environment shapes people, and he is a typical example.

"That's right, there isn't even a singer on the mountain." Hua Rong said.

When Gao Ming was in Tokyo and Mengzhou, going to banquets and listening to people singing was the most basic entertainment on weekdays. It was not a rare thing to listen to at that time, but now it has become a luxury.

"Oh, I'm still listening to people singing, I almost forgot what a woman looks like."

I remember someone jokingly said that Liangshan was a story of one hundred and five men and three women. As a result, Gao Ming manipulated it, and Sun Erniang died, and there were not even three women.

What Gao Ming felt in Liangshan was that there were men everywhere, but when he was down the mountain, the maids who served him were all women, and they were all pretty and lovely girls.

It's all right now, there are pure men all over the mountain, the copy room is facing Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian and Wang Yi, when he comes back, he is facing Huarong, and the leaders have a meeting with Wu Yong, Song Wan, Ruan Sanxiong and others.

Of course, strictly speaking, the mountain is not full of men, after all, there are some family members of the leaders, such as Qin Ming Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian have wives and children, but they are all married women, the former Gao Ya Nei likes it, so he forgets it.

The oldest hero is about 35 years old, and the children are not very old, just like Qin Ming, the eldest son is 15 years old, and the eldest daughter is only 13 years old.

Hua Rong smiled and said: "Don't complain, it's getting late, if you have anything to do, practice tomorrow, don't tire your eyes out."

Gao Ming listened to Hua Rong's words, put away his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next morning, he was having breakfast with Huarong when someone came to report that someone was looking for Gao Ming.

Gao Ming went out to take a look, and saw Qin Ming's son Qin Mao standing at the gate of the courtyard holding a bundle. The young man was tall and straight, standing in the sun, full of vitality. When he saw Gao Ming, he laughed, showing his small white teeth. "Brother Sun, these are the clothes my mother made for you and Huatou Ling."

"...made for me and Huatouling?" Gao Ming didn't know when his height information was leaked, "How do you know how tall we are?"

"When my father didn't leave, he estimated that the difference should not be much." Qin Mao has two small dimples, and his smile is very childish.

Since everyone has done everything, it is better to obey than to be respectful. He happily accepted, "Go back and say thank you to your mother."

Qin Mao watched Brother Sun enter the room before turning around and leaving.

Gao Ming took the clothes back. Although Liangshan also had logistics workers who made the clothes, the workmanship was obviously not as caring as the Qin family's. In your light, I have new clothes to wear."

The Qin family's willingness to make clothes for them must be because Huarong saved their lives.

As for him being treated in the same way, it may be that Qin Ming spoke well in front of his family, saying that he is Huarong Liangshan's new and strong friend or something.

Hua Rong glanced outside the courtyard, "Why does Qin Mao come to deliver things every time? Either food and drink or clothes, can't the Qin family change someone?"

"Because he is a man, it is convenient for him to move around in the cottage."

Hua Rong frowned slightly, "And why does he always look for you, and still call you Brother Sun, and only call me Huatouling? Are you two on such a good relationship?"

Gao Ming looked like he could read Hua Rong's thoughts, "You're jealous, aren't you?"

Hua Rong was startled, and his voice became louder, "What am I jealous about?"

"Because he calls me Brother Sun instead of Brother Hua, you are jealous of me."

"Ah?" Hua Rong couldn't understand what Gao Ming was saying.

"Because you are his savior, he sees you as superior and respects you so much. I'm embarrassed to call you brother. I don't pay that much attention to me, so the address should be closer."

Hua Rong felt that Gao Ming's explanation could not relieve his unhappiness, "Anyway, I don't like Qin Mao recently."

Love is pleasing to the eye but not the eye, Huarong always has some little emotions that people can't figure out, just ignore him for a while and he will be fine.

He had new clothes to wear and was in a good mood, so he happily went to Xiao Rang to continue learning Baijia fonts.

But today I got the news that the people who went to Song Taigong Village have returned, and they have moved a lot of belongings, which have to be stored in the warehouse, and they need to copy the office to register, so I am afraid that they will not be able to learn Chinese characters in these two days.

Gao Ming didn't care, just absorbed the lessons he had taught and made a joke. He was very happy to register Song Jiang's property.

Song Taigong is already old, and he was supposed to enjoy his old age in the village, but he gave birth to a son like Song Jiang, so he is not enough to be idle.

The family is not short of money, and since he was a child, he hired a private school teacher to teach Song Jiang, but he was not that kind of material, and he didn't even pass the exam as a scholar.

Because of his slickness, Song Yasi got along like a fish in water in the Yuncheng County Yamen. Song Taigong thought he could live a good life for two days. Worry, who doesn't want their son to become a weapon, not to mention a strong Confucian, it must be from a good family.

Also, Song Jiang was not young and didn't get married, but he didn't learn well. He raised an outside room, and he raised it, and killed the outside room, and escaped in the rivers and lakes.He escaped and got acquainted with Liangshan and became a robber.

Not only that, because the killing of the outsider also implicated his younger brother Song Qing, who sent him to Jiangzhou to be imprisoned, and he cheated Song Jiang back by feigning death.

He thought that he could do his duty and live a good life with Yuncheng, but he turned out to be fine and insisted on running to save his younger brother. It is said that he was convicted of colluding with Liangshan in the local area, and he was pushed out for interrogation and beheading.

Liang Shan said to save him, but people didn't know if he could be saved, but they "saved" him, an old man, to the mountain first.

A few days ago in the middle of the night, more than 100 minions came suddenly with bright lights. A man who called himself Liu Tang entered the house, carried him on his back and left, saying that he was helping Song Gongming brother to help him go up the mountain.

Song Taigong wants to go to Bird Mountain? !He has been operating in Songjiazhuang for several generations, and his life is quite decent. He has fertile land, slaves, and a large property. The wealth he has accumulated is not much, but it is not much. Who wants to be a robber in a puddle of water? !

Don't go!Liu Tang picked him up, put him on the cart, and pulled him to Liangshan.

It was only when they arrived in Liangshan that they found out that apart from him, the Song family's property had also gone up the mountain.

For a moment, Song Taigong had a strong desire to go back to the moment Song Jiang was born and throw him into the urinal to drown.

But people have come, so they can only obey Liangshan's dispatch.

"Song Taigong, don't worry, these things will be put into storage for all the brothers to eat and use. Everyone on this mountain is Song Gongming's brother. We all have the same blessings and share the same difficulties, and we will all do our filial piety at your knees." Wu Yongyao Holding a lupine, smiling at Song Taigong.

Since they are called brothers and sisters, it is reasonable to eat and drink from the Song family.

What else can Song Taigong do? !He said weakly: "I understand, my useless son, I have to save Liangshan."

Wu Yong smiled: "Grandpa is polite." Chao Gai procrastinated when he left, and he must not be in time to save Song Jiang. If there is no accident, Song Jiang must have been buried by now.

Gao Ming was on the side registering the property into the treasury, and he heard the words of Song Taigong and Wu Yong clearly. Now he can more or less guess what Wu Yong was thinking. Song Jiang died, and he could get a share of the Song family's property for nothing.

But can a key person like Song Jiang really go offline easily?

In this era, there are no instant messaging devices, and news can only be obtained by waiting.

With the injection of the Song family's property, Liangshan's economic crisis was instantly alleviated.

When you have money, spend it.

Wu Yong immediately recruited Zhu Gui and told him to take money to go around the city and buy some things that the leaders need.

So Gao Ming has a new task, to go to each leader's small courtyard to register any special needs, we are going to go shopping in the city in Liangshan.

Gongsun Sheng said that the incense offered to Sanqing was not enough, and a bundle of incense candles was needed.

Gao Ming registered for him, thinking in his heart, Sanqing knew you were a robber, so he didn't want your incense at all.

But since Gongsun Sheng entered Liangshan, he lived in seclusion and never made troubles, which is good news for others, but Gao Ming didn't like "rebels inside Liangshan". He hoped that Gongsun Sheng would stand up and join the fighting army. But now it seems hopeless.

After leaving Gongsun Sheng's place, he went to Song Wan's place. Song Wan is worthy of being the elder of Liangshan, who loves the mountain as his home, and said that he would not add burden to Liangshan, and did not ask for it.

Afterwards, Gao Ming went to the three Ruan family brothers and Liu Tang, and they didn't have any needs, saying that they had nothing they wanted, and the wine and meat cottage had them all.

Gao Ming thought about you, what money to save, spend it, spend it hard, but these four people are content with the status quo and don't want to improve their quality of life. Gao Ming can't persuade them to buy the Four Books and Five Classics, so he can only give up.

I went to Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and Yang Zhi's place, and when I entered the courtyard, I heard loud snoring. It turned out that Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were sleeping after drinking.

Gao Ming looked at the scorching sun above his head, and explained to Yang Zhi, who was still sober, why he came here. Yang Zhi was an extremely cautious person. Considering the conflict between himself and Chao Gai, Wu Yong and the others, "I have enough wine and meat, and I don't need to buy anything extra." .”

Gao Ming listened to Lu Zhishen and Wu Song's snoring, "...they don't need that either?"

Wouldn't you want some products that uphold your faith like Gongsun Sheng did?But considering that Wu Song and Lu Zhishen are essentially fake monks, they wouldn't want wooden fish and incense candles.

Cao Zheng and Shi En didn't need anything extra, and Gao Ming didn't like the thrifty faction like Erlongshan very much.

Gao Ming then transferred to Peach Blossom Mountain Little Overlord Zhou Tong and Tiger Fighter Li Zhong.

"I want a woman." Zhou Tong said solemnly, his appearance was not joking at all, "Requirement: live, female, gone."

"No." Gao Ming said: "There are regulations in the cottage..."

"I've studied the regulations of the cottage, but it's not allowed to rob women to go up the mountain, but it didn't say that it's not allowed to bring back willing ones from outside. Otherwise, how come Qin Ming, Jin Dajian and Xiao Rang have wives?"

That's because they don't want to go up the mountain and use their family members as hostages. Whoever asked you to do it voluntarily, of course you don't have this kind of treatment. "...All right, I'll help you write it down. As for whether the military division will let you or not, I can't guarantee it."

Gao Ming looked at Li Zhong again, "What about you?"

Li Zhong is a famous stingy guy, and Lu Zhishen personally certified him.

Sure enough, Gao Ming heard him say: "If you don't need to buy anything, can you convert this money into cash for me?"

"It should not be possible."

"Okay then, I want a pair of silver chopsticks."

Gao Ming reckoned that Li Zhong was not afraid that Liang Shan would poison him, so he used the silver chopsticks to test the poison. He probably simply thought that the silver chopsticks were valuable, and if not, Liang Shan would buy him a golden rice bowl next time.

Gao Ming likes such a hero who spends money lavishly. If everyone is like this, why worry about Liangshan not being in the red.

Gao Ming came out from Zhou Tonghe and went to find Hua Rong. He was teaching the minions archery in the school grounds. Considering the poor foundation of the minions, he is still teaching posture correction. As for when he can let the minions To open a bow and shoot an arrow, of course, the farther you drag it back, the better.

Regarding Gao Ming's arrival, Hua Rong said, "You can decide what to buy yourself."

Gao Ming smiled and said: "I'm here, you just happen to be lazy. Come with me, let's talk under the shade of a tree, talk for half an hour first."

This is a normal process, how could Gao Ming take up his private time when he went back at night, he had to take up his "working" time.

So the two found a shaded place to sit down and chat easily.

Huarong's mood was the same as the weather, the sun was shining brightly, and she was as pure as washing, "It would be great if you could go down the mountain with Zhu Gui, and see if you can take the opportunity to escape."

"Even if you let me go, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape. Zhu Gui's nickname is Handi Hulu. I heard from Xiao Rang that Hulu means crocodile in Khitan language, and Zhu Gui is a crocodile on land. He kills people without blinking an eye. Besides Now, if we want to go, we have to go together. You go to Liangshan for me, and I go by myself, is it plausible?"

Seeing Gao Ming's serious expression, Hua Rong knew that it was from the heart, and couldn't help feeling warm.

Gao Ming ran several leaders in a row to ask them what they wanted, it would be a bit tiring, but they are sitting on the ground now, with nothing to lean on around, so he moved to Hua Rong's side, resting his head on his shoulder, "Let me rely on it for a while."

Isn't the shoulder of a good brother just to lean on.

The breeze was blowing, Gao Ming looked up at the blue sky, and thought comfortably, this is actually not bad.

Hua Rong lowered his head slightly, looking at Gao Ming from his angle, he could just see his long and curly eyelashes, clear eyes, smooth nose line, and soft lip curvature.

Is it because he is white? Why does it feel that Gao Ming's lip color is lighter than others'.

Hua Rong approached him unknowingly, and when he realized it, the distance between their faces was already close at hand.

Gao Ming was blowing the wind comfortably, and felt that the shadow area on the top of his head was gradually expanding, so he naturally raised his eyes to look up, and met Shang Huarong's eyes, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Hua Rong was stunned, and immediately realized, "You have a bug here." As he spoke, he grabbed the non-existent bug and made a gesture of throwing it out.

Gao Ming grinned, sat up quickly, and jumped on the spot, "So I don't like to sit on the ground, and I don't know what will crawl on me. Do you see any bugs on my body?"

Hua Rong quickly shook his head, "No."

"You didn't even look at me, so you just said no?" Gao Ming found that Hua Rong's eyes were not on him at all.

Only then did Hua Rong bite the bullet and look at Gao Ming, "It's really not there."

Gao Ming said: "That's good, I won't sit down, it's time to go, I'm going to Qin Ming's place." After walking a few steps, he bowed to Hua Rong and smiled, "See you tonight."

Hua Rong also waved to him, watched Gao Ming leave, and then frowned deeply, really, what happened to him just now?

At this time, he felt that there was a line of sight behind him, and when he turned around, he saw many young people on the school field looking at him, and they all had the same expression: astonishment.

Just, just now... the leader Hua and the leader Sun are too close, right?

Seeing Huarong looking at them, they all lowered their heads, pretending to play with the bow in their hands, forget it, it has nothing to do with them.

Gao Ming left Huarong and went to Qin Ming's place. As soon as he entered the small courtyard where Qin Ming lived, the old Qin's family dragged him into the house, brought him preserved fruits and pastries, and sat around him to do their daily chores.

Qin's father said: "Hua Touling doesn't come here often, and we can't meet him. You go back and tell him that you two don't start a fight on weekdays. Come to our place to eat. Your aunt and your sister-in-law are doing a good job." Meals were rarely cooked in Qingzhou, but now it’s different, they all cook by themselves, definitely better than those minions.”

Gao Ming expressed his gratitude, and then said: "I am here this time, under the orders of the military division, to count the supplies needed by the leaders, so that people can go down the mountain to buy. Do you need anything?"

Mrs. Qin said first: "I want materials, good-looking ones. I can make clothes or bed curtains and do anything. In addition, I need four books and five classics. Mao'er's homework has fallen behind."

She was originally a pampered and controlling wife, but it doesn't mean that she can't live without someone to serve her. Even in Liangshan, she can still make pastries, cook together, and sew clothes with her mother-in-law, making life as happy as possible. It's delicious.

Gao Ming wrote down one by one, and finally got out of Qin Ming's house.

His family was so enthusiastic that they had to leave him for dinner and come out after talking.

Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian's family remained, and Gao Ming deeply realized that starting a family was too expensive.

When Gao Ming arrived at Xiao Rang's place, he saw that Xiao Rang had already taken out a piece of paper on which items had been listed in black and white.

Gao Ming saw that it was a child's cradle toy, a woman's jewelry, rouge, gouache, etc., and even the color of rouge was clearly marked.In addition to these, there is also a large full-length mirror.

Gao Ming said there was no problem, and directly took away the paper on which Xiao Rang made the list.

When he came to Jin Dajian, his situation was similar to that of Xiao Rang, except that he had considered Gao Ming's suggestion and ordered a set of tattoo tools, but the rest of the expenses were for his wife and children, and Mrs. The second time I emphasize that when you encounter a good-looking lip balm, you must have one for each color.

Gao Ming wrote down all these needs and went to Wu Yong. The result was exactly what Gao Ming thought. Wu Yong shook his head when he got the list, "Raising women and children is really expensive."

Wu Yong crossed out the woman that the bully Zhou Tong wanted.

Raising a woman costs money, and Zhou Tong actually wants to add a new burden to Liangshan, which is absolutely not allowed.

Then, looking at the medicinal materials that Hua Rong wanted, although Wu Yong didn't know much about medical skills, he knew a little about medicinal materials, "Hua Tou wants velvet antler and animal oil?"

These medicines are very expensive.

Gao Ming said solemnly: "He is not born with supernatural power like Wu Touling and Wu Touling. He often draws a hard bow and needs to maintain his muscles and bones. He said that he has to take velvet antler and externally apply animal oil all year round. There are no such medicinal materials in Liangshan. I feel uncomfortable in my shoulders again."

Gao Ming relied on his mouth. Anyway, the genius doctor An Daoquan hadn't gone up the mountain yet, and now the local doctor who was kidnapped on the mountain, even if he checked Huarong, he couldn't see anything.

Man Liangshan is all strong and strong men, each of them is at the peak of their physical fitness, and their physical fitness is the best. Except for gold sore medicine, no one buys supplements, and Huarong is the first.

In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, scholars also often read medical skills. Wu Yong has a little knowledge of velvet antler and scorpion beasts. Among them, velvet antler can indeed nourish qi and marrow, strengthen muscles and bones.

But he has only read about this animal oil in books, and he has never seen anyone use it in reality, "Animal oil?"

This Huarong is worthy of the military and horse control of a state, and its life is a luxury. No one has heard of animal oil, but it is used as a regular tonic by him.

"Hua Rong said that this thing is commonly known as a sea dog. Its oil can moisturize the muscles, strengthen the muscles and bones, and prevent strains," Gao Ming said.

The emperor gave him a lot of tonics before, and he knew a little about tonics. Anyway, animal oil is expensive, so he just bought it, just bought it.

Wu Yong carefully recalled how he remembered that the medical book said that sea dog oil can also nourish blood and Qi, nourish kidney and liver... er... kidney...

Thinking of Huarong and Sun Xiaowu going in and out together, eating and living together, even if Sun Xiaowu was promoted to be the leader, the two would not be separated, and they would stay together all day long.

He had long felt that something was wrong, and the relationship between the two of them was definitely beyond ordinary friends.

Thinking that high-ranking officials and dignitaries have the habit of raising young girls, Hua Rong is different from the general reckless, because he was born in a noble family and mixed in Tokyo, so he has acquired such a habit.

By the way, as soon as Hua Rong went up the mountain, he had to be served by Qingjun's minions, and Sun Xiaowu came out lame the next morning.Thinking of this, and looking at the list of medicines that Hua Rong wanted, he suddenly understood.

Wu Yong stared at Sun Xiaowu in front of him, Hua Rong and him were inseparable, "I said..."

"Scholar says..."

But Wu Yong didn't know what to say, it didn't matter if he broke his sleeves and divided his peaches, since other heroes didn't have such a hobby anyway.

No matter how good the two of them are, others will not envy or hate them. It's not like flirting with a woman to go to Liangshan. The heroes will covet each other, and the brothers will be unhappy.

Huarong and Sun Xiaowu are harmless and will not affect others.

The only bad thing is that they don't know how to save money, which is a bit expensive.But if Sun Xiaowu, who voluntarily came to Liangshan, can win over Huarong, it would be a good thing.

"Oh, forget it... there is nothing to say."

Fortunately, Wu Yong has read poetry and books well, and knows that there are such things as Huarong and Sun Xiaowu in the world.

He wasn't nicknamed Zhi Duoxing for nothing. Thinking of this, Wu Yong waved his lupine confidently.
