After getting up, Zou Run called the boy on duty outside to bring him hot water, towels, green salt and other things to prepare for washing and tidying up.
The young man who was assigned by Zou Yuan was very smart and capable. Taking advantage of the break in serving, he reported to Zou Run in detail, "To report to the leader of the village, there were several groups of leaders who came to greet us early in the morning. It's just the small one. Seeing that the leader of the village was sleeping soundly, he couldn't bear to disturb him, so he asked all the leaders to go back."
Zou Run dipped a small wooden brush into some fine green salt, then put it into his mouth. While brushing vigorously, he asked vaguely, "Oh? What kind of leaders are here?"
"Leader Zou came first. He gave a few instructions and then went to deal with the affairs. Followed by the Sun family and his wife, chiefs Yang and Deng, and the two chiefs Ruan who recently came up the mountain..."
"Huh? The fifth and seventh brothers stationed on the island came back so quickly?"
Hearing this, Zou Run perked up, hurriedly finished the washing, and ordered all the leaders to come to the Juyi Hall to discuss matters.
Taking advantage of the free time, Zou Run had another plate of snacks and a pot of tea to cushion his stomach. Then he wrapped himself in the mink fur coat sewn by Mrs. Ruan Xiaoer, tied it with a green silk sash, and carried it. He walked toward Juyi Hall.
Entering the Juyi Hall, Zou Run carefully discovered that the most magnificent building in the village had been expanded. Five more chairs had been added to the lobby that originally only had six chairs. Except for the tiger-skin chair at the top that belongs to Zou Run alone, there are ten chairs placed at the bottom, arranged in two rows, with five chairs in each row, which is very neat.
Looking at the new top spot, which was obviously made overnight, Zou Run secretly nodded, feeling very satisfied. Then he summoned a minor leader who was on duty in the hall and ordered that the incense table, lamps and candles, as well as the offerings and sacrifices be prepared immediately.
Not long after, the young man who had delivered the order came back and a group of old and new men came to the hall and greeted each other.
Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi, who had not seen each other for several months, excitedly held Zou Run's arms as soon as they came up. Their four pairs of eyes kept looking up and down. Zou Run said with a smile: "What are you two brothers looking at?"
"The village leader seems to have lost weight..." Ruan Xiaowu, who had a dark complexion, sighed quietly, his voice was a little low, and his eyes were full of concern.
"It's just that I'm a little thinner than when I was in Liangshan!" Ruan Xiaoqi originally wanted to express his feelings of farewell and reunion, but after looking at it, he followed his brother's words and complained sincerely. Persuasion, "Fortress leader, the burden on your shoulders is so heavy, you must take care of yourself!"
Zou Run was filled with emotion when he heard this, but he did not take their words seriously. After all, his body knew that he had lost weight, but his daily intake was very good. He could both eat and drink, and his strength was getting stronger day by day. No matter how hard or tired you are in one day, you will be full of energy the next day after a good sleep.
He attributed all this to the welfare after time travel, but he couldn't say this, so he could only change the subject. He ordered people to fetch the baggage brought all the way from Liangshan and hand it over to Ruan Xiaowu personally.
"The clothes I am wearing and the two jackets inside were all made by my mother and sister-in-law after spending several nights, stitch by stitch. There is also a letter inside. When I was leaving in Liangshan, my second brother taught me I'll give it to my two brothers."
Carefully touching the thick clothes filled with silk, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi's eyes were filled with tears. They couldn't wait to open the letter. Unfortunately, neither of them knew much about literacy, so they could only pick up the words they knew and jump to read.
Seeing the two of them working hard and serious, Zou Run's nose was slightly sour, he took the letter, smiled and cursed:
"You two are also leaders. After all, you have hundreds of people in charge. You can't even read a letter from home. Tell people about it and make others laugh."
After saying that, he kept in mind the matter of improving the literacy rate of his men, and at the same time read out the contents of the letter softly.
This letter written by the mother-in-law is very characteristic of the Song Dynasty. It is written entirely in spoken language. Apart from a few greetings and a few lines of instructions, there is nothing else. It is believed that before the reading was finished, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi were already in tears. I burst into tears.
This is the affection of flesh and blood, touching the heart. This is an era of sincere emotions and sincerity as gold, which is very different from the thin and cold days of later generations. Zou Run was silent and had no choice but to hold the two of them in his arms and said the words he said when he parted with Ruan Xiaoer.
"It could be as fast as two years, or as slowly as four years. Brother Dingjiao's family will be reunited in one place, and he will no longer have to suffer the pain of separation from relatives!"
Fortunately, they are all hot-blooded men. Er Ruan quickly calmed down his emotions, carefully put the family letter into his arms, and called for someone to fetch a towel and basin.
A total of ten leaders gathered in the hall.
Zou Run walked up to the high platform in the middle step by step and sat down slowly. After leaving the mountain for three months, he returned again. Zou Run didn't take off his clothes, and his horse didn't leave its saddle. Everyone arrived at the gate of the village but did not go in. Instead, he went down to direct the battle in person, in order to test the development effectiveness of Dengyun Mountain during this period.
Although the result was a victory, many problems were also exposed in the process. In addition, Zou Run had done a lot of thinking and planning for the next development of Dengyun Mountain while he was away from the mountain. Over the course of last night, he concluded A new work policy was formulated - namely, the three major constructions of politics, military and economy.
Political construction will run through each of Zou Run's next implementation details. He will use a silent and subtle method to strengthen his authority and control over the Shanzhai as a whole.
The first theme of today's meeting is a very important component in political construction-seat arrangement.
The word "seat" is used exclusively by Green Forest, and the same meaning is called rank in the government and court. However, no matter how the name is changed, its essence is to clarify the distinction between priority, upper and lower, and big and small. There is no doubt about this. As a simplified version of the grade, Dengyun Mountain is currently small in size, and the seating arrangement is sufficient. There is no need to imitate the complicated set of checks and balances of the imperial court.
When it comes to the division of power, China has been adhering to the principle since ancient times that if one's name is incorrect, then one's words will not go smoothly. Zou Run thought about it and decided to still arrange the seats according to their seniority, with some minor adjustments in between.
"Thanks to the great love of all the heroes, we have climbed to Yunshan Mountain together. In order to spread the good talk in the world, and with the loyalty of our brothers, we have decided to express our seats today."
"According to everyone's qualifications and merits, we invite Lin Long Zou Yuan to sit in the second place, Jin Leopard Yang Lin to sit in the third place, Fire-eyed Suanni Deng Fei in the fourth place, Short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu in the fifth place, Living Yama Luo Ruan Xiaoqi Sixth place, Xiao Wei Chi Sun Xin is seventh place, Mother Big Insect Sister Gu is eighth place, Tie Jing Zi Lehe is ninth place, Two-headed snake Jie Zhen is tenth place, Two-tailed scorpion Jie Bao is eleventh place."
This ranking is very different from that in the original work, but at this time and that time, Zou, Yang, and Deng were the elders. They worked hard and made great achievements. Zou Run was the first to respect these three people. This is something that no one disagrees with, and no one disagrees with it.
And Er Ruan is a hero on the water. He leads hundreds of water troops in the village. He shoulders the heavy responsibility of garrisoning the island and producing private salt. It is natural that he should be ranked high.
Putting the strength, seniority and influence of Sister-in-law Sun Xin and Gu, their ranking must be taken into consideration.
But the ranking of Tie Mingzi Lehe was a bit unexpected to everyone. Privately, they thought he would be at the bottom. Even Lehe himself thought so. After all, in terms of force value, Jie Zhen Jie Bao was several times stronger. Yu Lehe.
However, everyone was just unexpected, but there was no objection at all. They thought that the leader of the village had considered that Lehe had a life-saving grace for Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, and secondly, he was one generation higher than Jie Zhen Jie Bao in terms of seniority. .
Little did he know that apart from that, Zou Run valued Lehe's own abilities more. You must know that this person is completely comparable to a character like the prodigal Yan Qing, and he is the best candidate to serve as the intelligence chief. The importance of intelligence cannot be overemphasized, and it is naturally impossible to let it be ranked last.
