After completing the main quest this time, the system rewarded as usual: Destiny Points +5, Spirit +2, 1 cubic meter of storage space, and a taming skill.
"Beast Taming: You can tame various animals such as birds, beasts, insects, and fish as pets. The difficulty of taming is related to the intelligence of the animal. The higher the skill level, the easier it is to tame powerful creatures, and you can tame more creatures."
After learning about the beast taming skills in detail, Lu Cheng was also a little surprised. If the previous skills were still in the scientific category, this skill was a bit more fantasy.
I don't know if after this skill reaches the maximum level, I can make all the beasts submit to me and be used by me.
In his previous life, Lu Cheng focused on improving his computer skills and also honed his musical instrument skills, bringing both skills to a very high level.
However, in the world of the next "Water Margin", computer skills will be completely useless.
Lu Cheng is naturally familiar with "Water Margin", one of the four great classics, including the Flowery Monk Lu Zhishen, the Leopard Head Lin Chong, the Cloud Dragon Gongsun Sheng, the Sky-Scarred Star Wu Song, and so on.
When talking about the 108 heroes of Liangshan Marsh, there are always endless stories to tell.
But those who have read the original novel know that among the 108 heroes on Liangshan Mountain, there are really few real heroes. Among them are many who are treacherous, vicious, bloodthirsty, cruel, ungrateful, and there are also many mediocre and ordinary people.
Among the 108 people, the one Lu Cheng admires the most is the Flowery Monk Lu Zhishen.
Compared with other heroes, Lu Zhishen can definitely be called a true hero, and it is difficult to find fault with him.
In the original drama, as soon as Lu Zhishen appeared on the stage, he stood up for Jin Cui Lian, a stranger, and killed Zhen Guanxi with three punches. After that, he repeatedly performed heroic deeds during his escape, and he didn't care even if he got into trouble every time.
He is not afraid of the powerful, nor is he afraid of helping the poor. He helps others without asking for anything in return. He has compassion for the weak and is loyal to his friends. Even when facing a group of hooligans who steal vegetables, Lu Zhishen can educate them and guide them to be good.
It can be said that although Lu Zhishen seems reckless, he actually has great wisdom and compassion.
Compared with the previous one, Song Jiang, the timely rain, really sent the timely rain into the river. Wu Yong, the wise man, only knew how to plot and scheme, which was useless.
“Main quest: Lu Zhishen: Be a hero and live a happy life.”
………World dividing line…………
In 1109 AD, the third year of Daguan in the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, Yuncheng County, Jizhou Prefecture, Jingdongxi Road (Shandong).
When Lu Cheng woke up in an antique bedroom and looked at the layout of the surrounding rooms, he knew that his identity this time should not be too bad.
Lu Cheng, 17 years old this year, is a native of Yuncheng County. His family owns a Chinese medicine shop and a two-yard house. There is a shopkeeper and two assistants in the shop. There are two personal maids, several servants, a housekeeper, and a cook. They are considered a wealthy family.
Yuncheng County is also a very important place in the Water Margin world. Song Jiang is from Songjia Village under the jurisdiction of Yuncheng County, and is now working as a bailiff in Yuncheng County. The two chief yamen runners in Yuncheng County, Zhu Tong, the bearded man, and Lei Heng, the winged tiger, will be among the 108 people on Liangshan in the future.
There are two villages outside the east gate of Yuncheng County, Dongxi Village and Xixi Village. The chief of Dongxi Village is none other than Chao Gai, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.
There are also the resourceful Wu Yong, the White Rat Bai Sheng, the Iron Fan Song Qing, the Flying Eagle Li Ying, etc., all of whom were born in Yuncheng County.
Moreover, Liangshan County is to the northeast of Yuncheng County, and Yanggu County is not far to the north.
It can be said that many of the 108 future Liangshan heroes are located nearby.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Cheng has fallen into the vicinity of the thieves' den this time.
Just as Lu Cheng was thinking about this, the voice of the maid Xia He came from outside: "Master, Manager Liu has sent over last month's account book. Would you like to take a look?"
"Bring it over and let me take a look."
Lu Cheng got up, put on his clothes, walked out of the bedroom and came to the study. The maid Lu He had already placed the account book on Lu Cheng's desk.
Lu Cheng flipped through the pages and looked at the total income and expenditure of last month. The first page showed the total sales of last month: 56 guan. Excluding the purchase of medicinal materials, utensils, and wages for the shopkeeper and the clerks, the total profit was 35 guan.
Normally, one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, one tael of silver is equal to one string of coins, and one string of coins is 1000 wen.
But in fact, the exchange rates of gold, silver and copper in the Song Dynasty at that time were different.
One jin in the Song Dynasty was about 670g, one jin was equal to 16 liang, and one liang was about 42 grams.
At that time, one tael of gold could be exchanged for about thirteen taels of silver, and one tael of silver could be exchanged for about two strings of money.
The Song Dynasty had a very developed economy and trade, and a lot of copper was mined every year, but the Song Dynasty was very short of money. On the one hand, the Song Dynasty had frequent trade with neighboring countries, which made the Song Dynasty's currency very strong in neighboring countries, directly leading to a large outflow of Song Dynasty's currency.
At the same time, the Song Dynasty strictly prohibited the private sale of copper, and the manufacturing and operation rights of copperware were generally in the hands of the government. The copper mirrors and copper basins in the homes of ordinary people needed to be purchased with copper coins, and the price was also very expensive.
Many wealthy families like to hide a large amount of copper coins, which also leads to a decrease in the circulation of copper coins in the market.
Coupled with the huge annual military expenditures, court expenses, etc., the Song Dynasty was short of money and copper.
Therefore, a lot of iron was mixed into the copper coins of the Song Dynasty, and the proportion of copper was only about 60%. This also led to a decline in the purchasing power of copper coins.
At the same time, the currency note of the Song Dynasty was not 1000 coins, but 770 coins.
However, at that time, the economy of the Song Dynasty was developed, prices were very low, and the income of ordinary vendors was not low.
Wu Dalang was able to raise his younger brother by selling sesame cakes, and he was also able to marry a beautiful wife and live in a two-story house. This shows his ability.
Lu Cheng's family had 2,500 taels of silver, which was equivalent to 5,000 strings of cash, and was not far from a fortune of 10,000 strings of cash.
However, when Lu Cheng looked at the cross-border backpack, he found that 10kg of gold was missing from the cross-border backpack.
It is obvious that this wealth was also accumulated by Lu Cheng's own savings and some operations.
However, Lu Cheng has gotten used to this.
After looking through the account book, Lu Cheng walked into the yard. There was a weapon rack against the wall in the yard. On the weapon rack there was a broadsword, a single sword, and a long stick. There were also two large stone locks in the yard.
The Song Dynasty Criminal Code, "Song Xing Tong", clearly stipulates: "Anyone who possesses prohibited weapons shall be sentenced to one and a half years in prison (i.e., those other than bows, arrows, swords, shields, and short spears).
In other words, apart from bows and arrows for hunting, single swords, short spears, wooden shields and other weapons for self-defense, civilians were not allowed to keep other weapons at home. Once discovered, they would be directly sent to a certain place for forced labor for one and a half years, and even have words tattooed on their faces.
Although the imperial law does not allow the private possession of weapons, there are many bandits outside and many tigers and wild beasts in the mountains and forests. One must always have weapons to protect oneself when going out. Sometimes short weapons are obviously not enough. After all, an inch longer is an inch stronger, and an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous.
It was in this situation that the weapon Po Dao came into being.
(Pukao)
At first, people carried a stick and a single sword with them, and when necessary, they assembled them together to form a long-handled sword.
Later, a weapon between the broadsword and the single sword was formed, the Pudao.
Generally, the length of a Pudao is between 1 and 2 meters, and the blade is relatively long.
(Pukao)
In the original novel, when heroes traveled around the world, they would usually carry a broadsword with them. They would also hang their luggage on the sword and walk with the broadsword on their shoulders.
Lu Cheng walked to the weapon rack, picked up the broadsword, waved it around a few times, and felt it was a bit light and not very handy. He then picked up the single-blade, familiarized himself with the martial arts, and then threw it, and the single-blade landed steadily on the weapon rack.
Now that he has come to this world, Lu Cheng also wants to compete with various heroes and try out his martial arts.
I don’t know how big the weeping willow tree was that Lu Zhishen pulled out, and how he pulled it out.
If Lu Zhishen had pulled out a willow sapling, it would have been fine. But if the willow tree was 20 centimeters in diameter, the amount of strength required would have been terrifying. The weight of the tree itself and the grip of the roots would have required thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds of strength.
Moreover, Wu Song in the original work can easily pick up stones weighing three to five hundred kilograms and throw them around at will.
I just don’t know if this world is as exaggerated as in the original novel or in the TV series…
