On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the people of Liangshan Manor were still immersed in the joy of the New Year, but Gu Haotian and others bid farewell to Zhu Gui and others on the golden beach.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Ma Qiang and Honka returned to Liangshan with more than 600 newly accepted homeless people, and the manor was busy for another day.

After the fifth day of the new year, Gu Haotian put aside all trivial matters and planned a trip to Tokyo.

Tokyo was the political, economic, and cultural center of the Zhou Dynasty, and it was also the most prosperous city in the world during this era. Even in today's declining world, its wealth is unmatched, but it is a pity that in the near future, all this will become someone else's wedding dress, so Gu Haotian positioned this trip to Tokyo as a plundering trip, and he wanted to loot everything that Tokyo could use for himself to Liangshan.

The first thing is talent, Gu Haotian made a list based on his own memory. The latest character about Tokyo City in the Water Margin, he remembers that it is Wang Jin, the head of the 100,000 forbidden army, and when he was persecuted by Gao Yu and left Tokyo, it seems to be the winter of 1112, that is, the winter of this year. Other well-known figures, such as Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Xu Ning, etc.

However, there is another unknown figure that Gu Haotian remembers very much, that is, Lei Lingzhen, a gunpowder expert! The key to the success of firearms in the future is far more important than anyone else's.

Another thing that makes Gu Haotian very worried is that it is an administrative talent, in addition to Wen Huanzhang and Xiao Jiasui on Liangshan, the highest education is not the first talent Xiao Rang, at the moment it is just a small manor that can barely operate, and if there is an expansion in the future, there will definitely be no one available. Therefore, his inner desire for political talents is actually greater than the need for military generals.

There are very few records of outstanding literati in the Water Margin, and Gu Haotian pinned his hopes on outstanding figures in real history. A few days ago, Wen Huanzhang mentioned Zhao Ding, the famous minister of ZTE, who believed that there would inevitably be more frustrated talents buried in the corrupt Zhou court, and he felt that there was a rich mine of talents.

Wen Huanzhang has a deep understanding of Shilin in Tokyo, and Gu Haotian is communicating with him these days, while writing his own talent recruitment plan, and before he knows it, it is the Lantern Festival.

"Little official, there is a lot of excitement outside, the street is full of lanterns and lantern fans, don't be bored in the house, hurry up and go out and have a look."

In the evening, Pan Jinlian ran into the study with a shout, and pulled Gu Haotian out.

When I got out of the house, I happened to meet Wen Huanzhang and Xiao Jiasui and others again, so they went to the lamp market together.

After the latest group of displaced people went up the mountain, the population of Liangshan has reached nearly 20,000, and six villages have been built in the back mountain, and the main street in the center has been 5 or 600 meters long. At this moment, I saw the lanterns on both sides of the long street, and the tourists were weaving, but it was a prosperous scene.

"Little official, you see that this lamp is too exquisite, this Guanyin Bodhisattva is like alive."

Pan Jinlian's cry of surprise attracted the attention of several people. But I saw a colorful lantern hanging on the branch on the side of the road, and on the lotus throne, there was a Guanyin Niangniang, who cleaned the bottle in one hand and willow branches in the other, but it was also vivid. I don't know what skills the craftsman used, the Guanyin can actually turn, and the willow branches in his hands are also up and down, as if they are alive, which attracts the onlookers to cheer.

And Gu Haotian, who was accustomed to seeing the high-tech lanterns of later generations, did not feel that it was unusual, but paid more attention to the happy expressions of the onlookers. At this moment, he saw a mother and son on the periphery of the crowd, the mother was about fifty years old, her face was a little thin, but her demeanor was dignified, and she naturally exuded a sense of elegance and grace. Behind him stood a man in his thirties, holding the woman's arm in one hand and whispering something to the woman. I saw him wearing a light-colored turban, wearing a white Confucian shirt, his demeanor was calm, and his aura was extraordinary, but he seemed to stand out from the crowd.

Gu Haotian was secretly thinking, when did such a person come to this manor. When they saw what the woman had said to the man, they turned and walked back. But after walking a few steps, the woman suddenly stooped down and squatted, and then the man knelt down in a panic and picked her up, but he looked around in a daze, not knowing where to go.

"This Langjun, the eldest lady is not feeling well?"

Just when the man was anxious, Gu Haotian appeared in front of him.

"Exactly, there is Langzhong here." The man hurriedly asked.

"Come with me."

The entrance of the Rejuvenation Hall in the back mountain is not much distance, but tonight the market is full of people watching lanterns, and the road is a little crowded. Under the guidance of Gu Haotian and others, several people finally squeezed over, but fortunately, Dr. Gao was in the hall.

"This lady is heartbroken, it should be an old disease, and it is difficult to cure it for a while, but it is also easy to control the disease.

After Dr. Gao's diagnosis, he prescribed a decoction, and the man breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he come back to his senses and salute and thank Gu Haotian and the others.

"When Lang Jun arrived at the manor, I don't seem to have seen it." Gu Haotian asked curiously.

"At the beginning of the first month of the next year, the Quartet arrived here, and I was not familiar with the characters, in fact, this family medical hall had also seen it before, but it was just a moment of panic, and there were many noisy people, and I lost my direction, but fortunately I got a few help, otherwise I was really anxious."

The man was now calm and began to speak freely. Gu Haotian heard that he was going up the mountain on the fourth day of the new year, so he thought of the displaced people in Hebei, but he didn't look like a homeless person, so he asked tentatively.

"Where is Lang Jun from Hebei?"

"Under is the Hebei Daimyo Mansion people's, the year and the old mother wanted to go to Tokyo, on the way I heard that the scenery of Jingdong characters is good, so I came to visit, I don't want to happen to this manor, but here is also a place with excellent scenery, but it is worth the trip."

"Oh, but I don't know Lang Junzun's surname?"

Seeing Gu Haotian asking his name, the man smiled slightly, then stared at Gu Xixia and examined it, and said with a little mystery.

"It's better to guess Lang Jun's name first, if my guess is correct, you are the owner of this manor, a jade-faced Meng Wei ancient petty official."

"It's Gu Haotian below, but I don't know where Lang Jun can see it?"

This confused Gu Haotian, he has been closed all these days, how did this stranger know.

"Outside the long pavilion and by the ancient road, the grass is green. Such beautiful poems cannot be written by a person without spirituality, and besides, he is a teenager, and the petty officials think that there are several such characters in this manor. ”

"But it's a false praise, I don't know if Lang Jun is the master of the Daimyo Mansion?"

"Under Xu Guanzhong."

"It turned out to be Mr. Xu......" Gu Haotian responded, and suddenly remembered something, he only felt his heart skip a beat, and asked again in a hurry. Mr. is the Daimyo Mansion Xu Guanzhong? ”

"Exactly."

Xu Guanzhong saw Gu Haotian's confused look, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that there was another Xu Guanzhong. It's just that what he doesn't know is that Gu Haotian's heart is turning upside down at the moment.

Who is Xu Guanzhong, Water Margin said that he was proficient in the art of war, martial arts, and strategy, knew everything about qinqi calligraphy and painting, was proficient in various Chinese languages, knew the geography of the world, and was an all-round top talent.

In Gu Haotian's mind, those who can be called high-ranking hermits in the Water Margin are Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui, and Xu Guanzhong. The first two had already joined Liangshan, and for Xu Guanzhong, he wanted to choose the time to visit the Daimyo's Mansion, but who knew that he ran up the mountain by himself. Is the protagonist's aura really so stakes? Gu Haotian was a little uneasy.

"Mr. Xu, how did you come to JD.com?" Gu Haotian didn't believe what he just said, the reason for 'Jingdong characters have good scenery'.

But what Gu Haotian didn't know was that Xu Guanzhong was attracted by him, a celebrity of JD.com.

And said that Xu Guanzhong left Hebei within the year and wanted to go to the capital to respond, but on the way he kept hearing the rumors of Jingdong Jade Mian Meng, and when he arrived in Neihuang County, the words of "Farewell" came again, so he became more and more curious about this young man, thinking that there was enough time to go to Beijing, so he turned east to Yuncheng.

The mother and son walked and played all the way, and when they arrived in Yuncheng County, they happened to meet Gujiazhuang in disaster relief, so they followed the flow of people to Gujiazhuang, but the legendary little official was not in the village, but that set of disaster relief processes aroused his great interest, and at this time someone asked him if he went to Liangshan Manor, and he learned that the little official was in the manor, so he came happily.

But when the boat entered the water, Xu Guansi was surprised by the peculiar shape of this manor, he is a person who knows the geography of the world, and naturally can see the mystery. Then I saw the majestic water village on the golden beach, the dense civilian boats, the warships, and then the passes, horse roads, wide training grounds, and neat barracks up the mountain, all the way to the bustling back mountain.

When he turned the main peak and entered the market, he thought that he had strayed into the peach blossom paradise described by the Jin people: but seeing the heavy houses, the pedestrians were bustling, the old man was happy and happy, and the children were full of innocence, and what was even more amazing was that the pedestrians talked and laughed freely, without any decadence, which was completely different from the one outside the mountain.

So under the arrangement of the Civil Affairs Office, Xu Guanzhong's mother and son lived in a courtyard in the village of "Ji", and in the next ten days, he had more and more direct feelings, first the first batch of free rations were provided in the manor, and then the employment policy was preached to him. He once tried to ask how a scholar like him, who had no power to fight, would be employed. Who knew that the man said that scholars are the most popular in the manor, as long as they have real ability, they will be of great use when they report to the civil affairs office, and the income is also the best. Curious, he asked again, what if there is a bit of martial arts? The man examined him and said that at his age, if he went to be a member of the escort team, he was a little old, and if he had the real ability to fight for the captain and company commander, it would be okay. He wanted to ask the convoy again, but the man went elsewhere.

In the next ten days, Xu Guanzhong carefully observed everything in the manor. Taking the opportunity to register at the District Office, he felt the momentum of the Chung Hwa Hall; From the conversations of the neighbors, he learned of the abundance of these people's lives and their affection for the manor and the place where the little official had his birthplace; What shocked him the most was the escort team, although he didn't know what kind of team it was, but some of the sporadic encounters in the street market in the past few days were all in rows and columns, neatly arranged, like a person, he saw leopards, and deduced that this escort team must not be an ordinary guard.

So he became more curious about this manor and that little official. But for a few days on the mountain, the little official seemed to have evaporated, and he didn't even see him, until this chance encounter at the Lantern Festival, but Xu Guanzhong seemed to have a sense and recognized it at a glance.
