Chapter Twenty-Four: The Water Margin Enters

After returning from Xiaoyu Alley, Zhang Qian went to 'his' current home, and some things need to be faced sooner or later.

Zhang's house is in the northwest of Bianjing City, near the Baihu Bridge of the Jinshui River, and that piece of land belongs to the victory square on the right side. Today's Bianjing City is divided into four compartments, with the sixteen counties under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the sixteen counties of the four compartments are like the difference between the district and the county in later generations.

However, the victory square is a little far away from the small royal lane, the victory square is in the outer city, the small royal lane is in the inner city, and it is under the root of the imperial city, otherwise how can Zhao Ji dig a tunnel to lead directly to the Li Mansion here?

Compared with the inner city where the rich and noble families gathered, the victory place is a large labor market. Bianjing City, with a population of more than one million, is very dependent on water transportation for material supply and demand, and the Jinshui River is one of the lifeblood of Bianjing. Many of the children of the soldiers in the Tiger Wing Army are on this river, and it can be said that the area of Deshengfang is still quite lively, especially near the White Tiger Bridge.

It's just that which part of this Bianjing City is not lively?

Zhang Qian was going to take advantage of the stall when he was out this time to go home and take care of some things. For example, if he won't be going home for the next few months, he will have to hurry up and cultivate and cultivate again.

Now, the Zhang family is not 'attractive' to him at all, and he also feels that he has brought enough benefits to the Zhang family.

With his blind performance in the acting class, Zhang Gan's value in the eyes of many people has increased greatly, led by Zhou Fatzi, and the new round of gifts not only 'annihilated' Zhang Gan again, but even the Zhang family outside the bureau has also suffered a lot of benefits. This news has been handed over to Zhang Qian's hands.

The old man of the Zhang family, that is, Zhang Gan's grandfather, although he does not have a wide range of vision, he is old and refined. The old man knew that all the changes in the Zhang family now came from his precious grandson, so it can be said that as soon as he felt that something was 'wrong', he immediately asked Zhang Qian's eldest brother Zhang Zhong to inform him.

That time, Zhang Qian asked Zhang Zhong to bring back one hundred taels of silver, and then he asked people to send three ingots and ten taels of gold to the Zhang family.

This is four hundred taels of silver, in exchange for the original Zhang family, without eating or drinking, they may not be able to earn so much in a year.

Although there are more than 30 people in the entire Zhang family, Zhang Qian, who ranks fifth among the juniors, is only fifteen years old, so you can imagine how old the juniors below are.

The old man is still there, and the Zhang family can't talk about separation. Zhang Qian's father has four brothers, and the old man is famous for the east, west, north and south. Zhang Qian's father is the second in line, and the four brothers are now starting a family and having children. In Zhang Qian's generation, there were thirteen men and six girls. The eldest ones such as Zhang Zhong, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Li have all started a family, and two of the sisters are married, and the fourth Zhang Xin is talking about relatives. No matter how you look at it, you won't have a lot of money in this life.

Even in the past year or so, the status of the Zhang family has been much higher than before.

Zhang Qian took four hundred taels of silver from his family at one time, and the shock to the Zhang family was no less than the shock felt by the disciples of the inner sect of Shenxiao Dao at the beginning. The old and young of the Zhang family really realized the fact that their Wulang had a great future.

Zhang Qian did not call a taxi or take a boat. The donkey carts, ox carts and sedan chairs in Bianjing City are not as fast as his walking. The boat ride is even slower. Because there are too many boats in the inland river.

The small royal alley is in the east of the palace, in the part of Fanlou Street, Fanlou is also called Alum Tower, the head of the seventy-two stores in Bianjing, the place where Master Li works. Xiaoyuxiang is the residence of Master Li, and Fanlou is the 'office' place, such as when meeting Song Jiang, don't mix it up. Next to it is Jingling Palace, to the south is Daxiangguo Temple, and to the west is the Royal Street Avenue to the south of the palace.

Zhang Qian walked out of the alley and went to Fanlou Street. If he wanted to take the nearest road home, he should go directly west and follow the main road for seven or eight miles, go out of the inner city to Xiwazi, and then turn south and walk six or seven miles to the victory square of the White Tiger Bridge in the northwest corner of the city.

But Zhang Qian didn't do that. Instead, he went straight forward with the imperial city, walked out of the sour date gate in the inner city, and looked in the direction of Yue Temple.

For Zhang Qian, this place is more attractive than the Great Xiangguo Temple.

Daxiangguo Temple is a famous commercial area in Bianjing City, and the old monk there is definitely the ancestor of Shaolin Shi in the 21st century, but can Daxiangguo Temple be more lively than the commercial street in the 21st century? This has a fart attraction to Zhang Gan. On the contrary, it is a vegetable garden next to this Yue Temple, which is more suitable for Zhang Qian's appetite. Even the flower monk in the vegetable garden is long gone. It was two years ago that Lin Chong mistakenly broke into the White Tiger Hall, and Lu Zhishen was definitely no longer in the vegetable garden of Daxiangguo Temple.

If you follow the time line of the Water Margin, Lu Zhishen should have been the king of Erlong Mountain.

Zhang Qian's original memory had Lin Chong's matter, even Yang Zhi's sale of knives, the Zhang family was a military household after all, and he had heard a little about these things. It's just that I haven't heard of Lu Zhishen uprooting the weeping willows.

And Zhang Gan was not surprised at all by the incursion of the Water Margin. The Water Margin itself is magical, and the first round at the beginning: 'Zhang Tianshi prayed for the plague, and Taiwei Hong took the demon by mistake' fully illustrates this point. Gongsun Sheng and his master Luo Zhenren, as well as Gao Lian and Fan Duan, also illustrated this, including the armor horse of Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong.

That can be perfectly integrated into this mythical Xianxia version of the Great Song Dynasty. And that Jiangnanla, Manichaeism's reputation in the cultivation world is not very good, because they worship foreign gods.

China had its introduction hundreds of years ago, but like Nestorianism, there was never a real boom. The local Taoism already has Buddhism, which is always opposed to the guest as its main opponent, so how can it allow diplomacy to continue to be introduced? In the same way, Buddhism does not want to have diplomacy to carve up its cheese.

It wasn't until this Fang Fang Sheng Gong founded Manichaeism that the people of Jiangnan worshiped one after another. Although Manichaeism is very different from the Jacket religion, in the end it is still a good thing.

In a sense, Fang La's origin is really not small. Liangshan is a rabble. Liang Shan's ability to finally ask for square wax is as shocking as the Jurchen car's overturning of Da Liao.

As long as Zhang Qian thought of this, he couldn't help but think of a great god, the Nine Heavens Xuannu.

He had a feeling in his heart that the water in Liangshan was very deep and deep.

But all these 'speculations' have been removed, and the one hundred and eight generals on Liangshan were Zhang Gan's idols back then. He has collected several sets of cards, and the textbooks are full of stickers of the Water Margin heroes, and one hundred singles and eight can even call him with a nickname. Although he only read a copy of "Water Margin" twice, Liang Shan's memory is still quite clear. It's just that Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing are a little 'skipped', and they don't care, and he remembers very little how many leaders and generals these three major Kou have. After all, I was still young at that time, and I was 'looking' rather than 'researching' for the Water Margin.

When you are a few years older, you will not go to 'study' the Water Margin. I can't get enough of so many novelties on the Internet, who will turn over the old antiques like Water Margin and ponder the chapters a little bit?

Among the one hundred and eight generals of the Water Margin, Zhang Gan's likes are also deep and shallow, such as Hu Sanniang, hehe, and for example, Sun Erniang, this needs to be seen in the end, if the people sold on the cross slope are really human meat buns, it is not too much to kill her a hundred times, there is no humanity. There is also Song Jiang, it is possible that it is best to kill it with one knife.

And Lu Zhishen is a hero he has always liked, just like Chao Gai who has not entered the one hundred and eight generals. Because of their uprightness, because of their persistence. Zhang Qian is now going to Yue Temple with a mentality of admiring the 'ruins'.

As for a vegetable garden in this Daxiangguo Temple, it is unreasonable to be far away from the sour jujube gate, Zhang Qian thinks it is much more reasonable. The Jujube Gate is the gate of the inner city of Bianjing, which means that the Great Xiangguo Temple is located in the most prosperous inner city of Bianjing. And is it necessary for a vegetable garden to be in the inner city? Even if there really was a vegetable garden in the inner city, it would have been converted by the monks for other purposes.

Zhang Qian, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, walked in the extremely lively market outside the sour jujube gate, the narrow streets on both sides and the stalls with straw huts and straw mats leaning out of the door, a little reminiscent of the scene of visiting the temple fair when he was a child in his previous life.

Zhang Qian's hometown of Chenzhou, every year to fight the second dragon in February, to the end of the third day of the next month, the whole February, the Taihao Mausoleum area is very lively, commonly known as 'February meeting'. It is normal for businesses from all walks of life to gather and stalls occupy the streets. It's just that after entering the new era, all the excitement is gone and never returns.

Now the market in Bianjing City has that old taste.

Zhang Qian's steps were brisk, and he arrived at the ground in less than two quarters of an hour.
