Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 501 Beigu Mountain Manor

In the afternoon, Su Chen took Yang Linger, Peng Qingqing, and Bai Susu in a carriage to the Zhuangzi outside to check.

There are three manors in the outskirts, two of which are in the outskirts, just two or three miles out of the city. There are [-] acres of fields around the manor, which can accommodate [-] people. Working and producing here is enough for a processing workshop.

For some daily necessities that Su Chen will produce in the future, he can hire people to produce them here, or transfer them, store them, etc.

The third manor is in the outer suburbs, ten miles away, on Beigu Mountain.

This is already a villa.

"It's so far away, Brother Chen, why do you want to buy a village so far away? It's very troublesome to come here once, and it's relatively remote." Peng Qingqing looked at the Beigu Mountain in front of him through the curtain of the car, and asked in puzzlement.

In fact, Bai Susu didn't understand either. While looking at the mountains, his eyes looked at Su Chen in the car, as if waiting for his explanation.

"Originally, I planned to have a mountain villa, where I could store good wine and fine wine, store some materials, and make some small inventions to deceive people. I just didn't expect that this time, there is a village in Beigu Mountain, which is more suitable."

Su Chen is very satisfied with the environment and location, because although this place is remote, the location is very good, the scenery is beautiful, and the reputation is great.

Because it faces the Yangtze River in the north and the situation is dangerous and solid, it is named Beigu.The mountain wall here is steep and the situation is dangerous and solid. Emperor Liang Wu of the Southern Dynasty once wrote a book "the best river and mountain in the world" to praise its shape.

Beigu Mountain forms horns with Jinshan and Jiaoshan, and the three mountains stand on top of each other. Beigu Mountain is even more majestic and dangerous in controlling Chu and defeating Wu.

The whole mountain is composed of three parts: the front peak, the middle peak and the back peak. The back peak is the main peak of Beigu Mountain, facing the Yangtze River in the north, with cliffs on three sides.Known as "the best country in the world", it is famous all over the world.

Due to the confrontation between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty across the river, the beaches, ferries, and mountains along the river are all strategic locations.Now at the top of Beigu Mountain, there is a beacon tower and a team of hundreds of people, watching the situation of the Yangtze River and the river bank, and the enemy's situation at any time.

In the northwest of Beigu Mountain, there is an army of about five battalions, 500 people, under the command of a Duyuhou, as a defense along the river.

The manor that Su Chen bought was on the mountainside of Qianfeng, covering an area of ​​several tens of mu. Since few people came to live there, it was a bit dilapidated, and there were weeds in the yard and on the walls.

After a few people got off the car, they stood outside the villa, looking at the lintel and the desolate and deserted yard, relatively speechless.

But Su Chen didn't care, he didn't come to live here, but hid a group of teenagers, trained here, could renovate, enlarge the walls, expand the house, dig underground secret rooms and dungeons, etc.

The mountains and forests not far away are quiet and suitable for all kinds of training, as long as the soldiers and patrols do not find anything abnormal.

"Susu, assign me a group of stable and reliable long-term workers, with a [-]% increase in salary, come to take care of this villa, my Su family will sign a new contract with them, and work for my Su family first, right?"

Su Chen talked about these things with Bai Susu very naturally, without any embarrassment.

Because he has helped the Bai family a lot, saved the crisis of the Bai family, saved the old man of the Bai family, and brought huge business opportunities, he is the most reliable partner.

In addition, the relationship between him and Bai Susu, after negotiation and breaking up, they got to know each other again and made friends again, and getting along with each other became more natural. Even though they were no longer a fiancé couple, Su Chen's request was more righteous and direct.

Bai Susu is a very rational woman, she has a steelyard in her heart, and evaluates the pros and cons of things and whether they are worth it.

Now Su Chen is the best partner of her Bai family, and the cooperation is deeper than any other family in the past. The Bai family has seen Su Chen's potential and future, and has increased investment and made concessions.

In addition, there is another relationship, that is, Bai Susu also has a good impression of Su Chen, and has become more and more convinced of this man.

"Okay, I'll arrange to do it." Bai Susu agreed without hesitation.

Peng Qingqing and Ling'er didn't think too much, but accompanied Su Chen to walk around inside.

The manor is very large. It is a large courtyard with five entrances and five exits. It has a main courtyard and a side courtyard. The backyard of the fifth entrance is connected to the forest on the mountainside, and a large bamboo forest brings tranquility.

Su Chen watched carefully, inspecting the front and back courtyards, and walked through the main courtyard and the side rooms. It is said that a house that was previously owned by a servant of the household department who went down to the field once lived here, but he passed away a few years ago. His descendants I didn't want to live here, so I sold it.

The design of the courtyard is reasonable, with long corridors and winding paths, dripping water walls and tiles, clusters of flower beds, rockery and waterside pavilions, and the garden design of a Jiangnan water town.

A few people came to the back garden, where a path paved with bluestone slabs walked past a flower garden, and they came to a five-cornered pavilion. There were stone tables and wooden benches in the stone pavilion. In disrepair, weeds have grown on the top of the stone pavilion, and the flower garden is also barren.

"It's not bad to renovate, just build some more houses in the side yard and expand a school field for training."

Su Chen was quite satisfied, and planned to bring a group of youngsters who were suitable for martial arts here to practice martial arts and knives, and develop their own personal strength.

In this era, the rich and powerful have their own private soldiers. They usually work as farmers and men, and if something happens, they are immediately armed and form a team.

"Let's go up to the main peak and have a look. Since we've come out, it's a good time to have some fun. Today's weather is not bad." Su Chen suggested.

"Okay!" Peng Qingqing smiled, Ling'er and Susu were also very interested.

At the end of January, the north is still relatively cold, but Jiangnan has entered early spring, and when the sun is shining, there is already warmth.

The front peak was originally the ruins of the ancient palace of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and it has long been in ruins. The back peak is the main peak of Beigu Mountain, with beautiful scenery and wide vision. The Yangtze River is rolling and the waves are undulating.

Su Chen and the three daughters stood on the stone platform on the top of the mountain, looking at the majesty on both sides of the Yangtze River, they both felt a little relaxed and happy.

"Su Chen, do you want to write a poem?"

Peng Qingqing suddenly asked that she was gradually becoming like Xu Cainv, Liu Huadan, and Her Highness Meng. Wherever she went, she was touched by the scene and wanted Su Chen to compose a poem as a souvenir.

Su Chen glanced at her sideways, thinking that it's really good not to learn, but to learn these tormenting requirements.

However, this proposal aroused the expectations of Bai Susu and Ling'er. Obviously, the two daughters were not immune to Su Chen's poems.

"Writing poems is too nerve-wracking. I'll save them for next month's spring. Why don't I recite a poem from the Tang Dynasty. You haven't heard it anyway."

"Alright then." Peng Qingqing nodded, it was about Su Chenchun's imperial examination, so she had no choice but to submit.

Su Chen thought of "Climbing Beigu Mountain" written by Song Zhiwen in the Tang Dynasty, and it was just in time for the occasion.

"The capital and the town are dangerous in the sky, and the southeast is the north gate. The winding road of the Hengjiang River is garrisoned into the sea and Zhongshan.

"Looking at Yue's heart at the beginning, thinking about Qin's temples is already stained. I feel sorry for the geese in the forest, and wait for the spring to return day and night."

When early spring came, he was about to go to Jinling City to participate in the Spring Festival.
