Although Lei Heng's reputation in Shuibo Liangshan is not very big, his appearance profession is the governor of Yuncheng County, Gu Haotian lives in Yuncheng County now, so he carefully checked the information about Lei Heng in his mind in the past two days. The Water Margin describes his native county, born as a blacksmith, as if he has only one mother, and his character is stingy, but he is very filial. The blacksmith's background has been confirmed, and his personality may follow his mother, but he has no father - if Gu Haotian had not appeared, he might really have no father, and the main doubt is why a blacksmith's son is sitting in the position of the head of the public security brigade of the county public security bureau.

Two days later, Lei Blacksmith's wife hurried over when she heard the news, only to see a high-pitched female voice coming from far away outside the door, "The little official is very kind!" Then a shrewd woman and a young man appeared in the courtyard of the ancient family. Gu Haotian fell on the big boy behind him at a glance, and saw that he was seventeen or eight years old, nearly one meter seven tall, with a thick waist and round arms, a black and purple face, and a living blacksmith.

Lei Blacksmith has been able to go to the ground, "Heng'er, I haven't thanked the little official for my father." When Lei Heng heard this, he stepped forward and was about to kneel, but Gu Haotian took a step forward to hold him up, "No need to be polite, it's just a coincidence." Then the woman came forward and embraced the man and wiped her tears.

"Don't cry, thanks to the blessing of the little officials, didn't you come here too, it's just how the kid's livelihood is doing." Ray Blacksmith was clearly more concerned with the latter thing.

"Don't worry about it, his second uncle has promised that when he has the opportunity in the next year, he will arrange an errand for the kid in the yamen."

"But I don't know what kind of errand it is?" Gu Haotian interjected when he heard this.

"It is good to teach the little officials to know that the second uncle of my mother's family is working in the county government, and I promised to find an errand for my boy in the yamen." The woman replied first, with a little smugness that she couldn't hide.

"That's a good thing." Gu Haotian replied, and realized in his heart that it turned out that Lei Heng entered the agency and became a civil servant through this channel. Then he asked Bian Xiang to send a family of three back in a car. The family is very grateful.

The appearance of Lei Heng made Gu Haotian more and more sure that he was involved in the world of Water Margin, and he had a strong premonition that Shuibo Liangshan might be a crossing mission given to him by God. In his memory, he was looking for the time when Liangshan was established, and in "Water Margin", Lin Chong forced Liangshan to go to Liangshan in the winter of 1113, and before that, Du Qian first settled on the mountain, and then Song Wan and Wang Lun came. That is to say, Liangshan was occupied as a cottage at the earliest around 1100, and it is now 1109, which means that he really wants to use Shuibo Liangshan as a base to make a foundation, so it is best to control Liangshan in one or two years and get the first opportunity.

Although it is said that the whole world is not the king's land, but in fact, the current Liangshan is a borderless land, otherwise with Du Qian's inconspicuous role, how can he occupy such a large Shuibo Liangshan.

Gu Haotian's first thought was the team, Mao Taizu said that "power comes out of the barrel of a gun", Wang Lun is because he does not have a team loyal to himself, so he is still shouting "My cronies are there" when he dies, so there must be an absolutely loyal core team. The second is economic strength, as the economics of later generations said, the economic base determines the superstructure, and without economic strength, no matter how strong the team is, it is just a castle on the beach. The third is to have the support of faith, that is to say, there must be a direction of effort in the heart, Mao Taizu led a team of beggars to walk 25,000 miles by relying on a belief.

Gu Haotian stuffed himself in the room and thought about it for a long time, and he thought about these points. But compared to these points, he felt that the gap between himself was too big, the team was only three people at best, and the Gu family had a little foundation in terms of economy, but as a guarantee for the foundation, it was still 108,000 miles away, and there was no way to talk about other aspects. How to find his own "first pot of gold", Gu Haotian decided to start from the existing conditions.

There are more than 100 households in Gujiazhuang, and there are more than 200 available people, of which the tenants of the ancient family and the family account for the vast majority. Gu Zhen's attitude towards tenants and villagers is still good, the popularity is good, and Gu Haotian's two rescue incidents have won a great reputation among the villagers, and it can be said that he has surpassed his father. Therefore, there is still a foundation for pulling the first small team in Gujiazhuang.

In terms of wealth accumulation, Gu Haotian believes that at present, he can only rely on the existing business foundation of the Gu family to develop a few more profitable industries. In this regard, he carefully considered some of the knowledge he had in later generations, and at the same time referred to the starting skills of various crossing gods, and finally decided to choose distilled spirits. First, the ancient family was originally made of grain and oil, and there were raw materials; second, there is a wide market, and the product is monopolized; The third is that this kind of thing has no technical content, the key is that you can do it, but no one in this era knows it.

Since the plan has been decided, let's act immediately, Gu Haotian feels that time is not waiting for me. The first hurdle to be crossed was his father Gu Zhen. Gu Haotian thought of a variety of methods, and finally felt that the immortals were the best to use. So one night, in Gu Zhen's study, the father and son of the Gu family talked secretly for half the night, and then Gu Zhen decided to give his son all the support. For this study dialogue, later historians called it "the study Dingding".

Soon at the end of the year, Gu Haotian took the lead in organizing an unprecedented year-end condolence action in Gujiazhuang. He asked Bian Zhong to slaughter a batch of pigs and sheep and buy some cloth from the county seat, which he knew was more attractive than food for the villagers who still had enough food and clothing, but had no money to spare.

The year-end condolence action of the junior officials of the Gu family was a great success, and the people of the whole village were grateful. And the impact is far beyond Gujia Village.

Somewhere temple fair.

"I heard that the petty officials in Gujiazhuang sent food and clothing to the whole village." An old man said enviously.

"Birds, these landlords only care about their own well-being, and they care about the life and death of the poor." A man snorted indignantly.

"Brother doesn't care what he said, I don't know anything else, but the little officials of the ancient family in my village are first-class benevolence and righteousness, and everyone who sacrifices their lives to save people always knows, you see that the new clothes on my body are made of fabrics given by the little officials." A villager from Gujiazhuang shook his new clothes and said angrily.

"Really?"

"It's not bad."

"It's really not bad, I saw it in the city last time, it's too expensive to buy."

"It's really blessed in Gujiazhuang, I don't know if there is still a shortage of tenants in the Gujiazhuang."

Everyone was gossiping with envy. And these conversations have also passed into the ears of some well-intentioned people word for word.

A tall man in the crowd turned around silently when he heard this, while a pair of fish buying brothers on the side had a conversation.

"Second brother, this little official of the ancient family is so young, can he really do such a righteous thing."

"It's true, I also heard about him sacrificing his life to save a dozen old fishers a few days ago."

"Such a righteous young man, I want to go to the meeting for a while."

The effect of the year-end condolence action was really a bit unexpected by Gu Haotian, who attributed the reason to the lack of warmth of the people due to the indifferent hierarchical concept of feudal society. A few days later, Gu Haotian's first Spring Festival in this world arrived.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Gu Zhen followed his son's advice and set up a sumptuous banquet for the next people in the family, and distributed red envelopes according to everyone's contributions, and the whole house was happy. At dinner, Gu Haotian accompanied his parents, and his aunt and sister had dinner in the back room, and then got up and went to the front yard.

There were three tables in the front yard, Bian Zhong and his son, Ma family father and son and several other people sat at a table, Gu Haotian saluted table by table with a wine glass, and then sat on Ma Zhong's table, Ma Laosan didn't expect that the little official would sit on the table of the next person, and wanted to stand up for a while, Bian Xiang and the three of them often ate together.

"Uncle Ma, sit down." Gu Haotian picked up the wine glass and stood up again, "Uncles and brothers, a busy year has passed, some of you are old people who have helped in the Gu family for several generations, and some are newcomers who have just entered this year, but your hard work, my father and I both see it in our eyes, our Gu family will not treat anyone who works hard for the Gu family, this year, next year, the year after and every year will be the same, and finally I wish you all health, longevity and happiness, and do this cup." "Then take the lead.

The atmosphere in the compound suddenly ignited, and everyone toasted with auspicious words, not thinking that it was a ten-year-old child standing on it. Some old people were moved, secretly wiped their tears, and a few men quietly inquired about Bian Xiang and the three, and the petty officials still wanted servants, and Bian Xiang and the three of them were so energetic.

Gu Zhen also came out to toast with a wine glass, but at this moment he was standing in the lobby silently watching his son's performance. I was very emotional, it was enough for the Gu family to have this son, and the slightest doubt about the immortal in my heart also dissipated, and secretly decided that he had to help his son do a career even if he fought for his life.

The 1109 year of Gujiazhuang slowly came to an end in the toast of the small officials of the Gu family.

Tomorrow will be the beginning of a new year.
