Chapter 455 Hou Mo Chen's true strength

Chapter [-] Hou Mo Chen's True Strength
Finally, in desperation, Chen Ying bought 780 mu of low-lying paddy fields in Jianhe in his own name. In this small village, 49 households and more than 260 people became Chen Ying's tenants.

Only when Chen Ying became the owner of this place did he assign the task of planting rice.

Chen Ying took Wang Wei, the magistrate of Xin'an County, and Liu Jingzhong, the former governor of Henan County, to inspect each settlement.If it is in other places in the Central Plains, it will not be difficult at all to resettle tens of thousands of refugees.However, in the hilly area of ​​western Henan, it is really difficult to resettle tens of thousands of refugees.

In the small basin in the middle of the hilly area, as long as the land that can be reclaimed is basically reclaimed, it has already been reclaimed.Now that the spring plowing is just around the corner, Chen Ying is also secretly worried.Originally, he thought about using the barren hills to cultivate terraced fields.It was only after the on-the-spot investigation that Chen Ying discovered that his thinking was too simple.

Shi Liu Jingzhong, governor of Henan County, pointed to a gentle slope and told Chen Ying: "The soil here is good, and you can build a ladder. However, the rain here in Xin'an is very heavy during the rainy season. Soil is definitely not good. If you use soil, I'm afraid it won't be able to last two rains. Definitely." To pile stones, start from the hillside of the hill, at least three hundred and forty feet away, and two feet high. Even if you use stones, you have to drive large wooden piles to the bottom and use huge stones to press the bottom. This project is too big I'm afraid it will be very difficult for Henan County to come forward to host, if you want to rely on the power of a village..."

This is Chen Ying's first field trip, and the more he thinks about it, the more he backs down. To build a small terraced field on this hill will cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Just as Chen Ying was thinking about whether to apply to Li Jiancheng or Li Yuan to transport these refugees to Guanzhong and disperse them in various counties in Guanzhong, suddenly a small official in green official uniform bowed and cupped his hands: "No, no, No, it’s not as difficult as you imagined by Liu Changshi. There are two ways to build terraced fields, one is to build high platforms to fix the soil, and the other is to plant hedges!”

Chen Ying raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Zhili?"

Chen Ying naturally knows what hedges mean. Any shrubs or small trees that are planted in a single or double row and closely combined with regular planting forms are called hedgerows, also known as hedgerows, hedgerows, etc. .It is a landscaping technique often used in European gardens, one of the three major gardens in the world.Because of the selected tree species, it can be trimmed into various shapes and combined with each other, thereby improving the ornamental effect and artistic value.In addition, the hedge can also play the role of covering bad viewpoints, isolating protection, preventing dust and noise, and guiding tourists to watch routes.

Of course, artificially planted hedgerows can be spread all over the corners of any city in later generations.

The little official in Tsing Yi explained very seriously: "Building a high platform and a solid structure is of course very effective, but the cost is too high, and the gain is not worth the loss. If you build a [-]-acre Gundam, you must invest at least [-] guan."

Chen Ying nodded frequently.

It's just that Liu Jingzhong's complexion was obviously unkind, and he looked at Wang Wei with sharp eyes.Wang Wei also had a wry smile on his face. This ninth-rank official was none other than Bo, the head of Xin'an County.According to the system, Xin'an County belongs to Zhongxian County, and the most inferior should be Congbapin, or Zhengbapin.But this Xu Cangshan's background is too shabby.

Xu Cangshan's mother, a female prisoner in Xin'an County Prison.In ancient times, female prisoners would be sentenced to prison for adultery, and if the punishment was heavier, they would even be sentenced to official kilns as prostitutes.Because of Xu Cangshan's upright appearance, the female prison's caretaker, together with the bustard in the Luoyang brothel, often forced the female prisoner to sleep.Naturally, Xu's mother could not escape bad luck.Later, Xu's mother became pregnant, but she didn't know who Xu Cangshan's real father was.

But when Xu Cangshan was nine years old, his mother died of illness.He was adopted as an adopted son by Xu Dayan, an old bachelor of the jailer.Xu Cangshan then changed his surname to Xu.Later, when Xu Cangshan was 15 years old, he replaced Xu Dayan as the jailer of Xin'an County. There were rumors that Xu Cangshan was promoted to the Ninth Rank Master Bo after following the path of the former county magistrate Gao Yazhi.

However, Wang Wei smiled wryly at this time, because he found that Chen Ying looked at Xu Cangshan very pleasing to the eye, and before Wang Wei opened his mouth to reprimand Xu Cangshan to retreat, he saw Chen Ying staring at him with a murderous look, which scared him Swallow the words in your mouth into your stomach.

Chen Ying looked at Xu Cangshan with a smile and said, "How did you know that planting fences can fix soil?"

Xu Cangshan said: "Reporting to Chen Anfu, Xiaguan was poor when he was young, and his family only had seven or eight acres of Susukida at the foot of Qingyang Mountain. During the rainy season, mountain floods would invade the few acres of Susukida in my family. The seven or eight mu of Susukida has become even less. I have carefully studied the method of building a high platform with stones to fix the soil. The family of the lower official has no money and no manpower to build it. Later, I planted a circle of fences on the edge of the field. , Later, the soil washed down from the mountain will be blocked in front of the fence, and the mud on the fence will be flat, so the field will not be small, but will gradually grow larger as the silt increases..."

Chen Ying was overjoyed when he heard the words. He was worried that he could not find a way to build terraced fields. If he used Xu Cangshan's method, he could save both money and trouble.The most indispensable thing in the hilly areas of Henan County is bushes. As long as some are transplanted, fences can be built in a short period of time to hold the soil on the mountain and at the same time ensure the income of farmers.

Chen Ying said directly: "I led the left and right guards in the East Palace and the left and right siyu to garrison Henan to defend against Zheng's invasion, and also to appease Henan and resettle tens of thousands of refugees. The only thing that is lacking is manpower. You may think that the work is trivial ?”

Xu Cangshan was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Cangshan was born in a poor family. He grew up eating a lot of food. He didn't dare to hope for prosperity. He only hoped to be able to be loved by his fellow villagers before he died."

Chen Ying said: "The king is the one who issues orders; the minister is the one who carries out the king's orders to serve the people; the people is the one who produces corn, hemp, silk, utensils, currency, and serves the superior. Heroes don't ask." I don’t have much to gain in this battle, but it’s not difficult to exchange thirty or fifty heads for a military cavalry officer. You just need to appease Ben, resettle hundreds of thousands of refugees in Henan, and lead them Build terraced fields, and in the future we will be Marquis of Baili and Marquis of Qianli."

……

While Chen Ying was busy resettling the refugees, Hou Mo and Chen Xu also came to Xin'an with their servants in light clothes.Hou Mo and Chen Xu searched for Chen Ying in the crowd, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.In fact, when he looked at Liu Jingzhong, he felt that Liu Jingzhong was elegant and handsome, as if he stood out from the crowd.But Liu Jingzhong was too young to be good at all.

Hou Mo and Chen Xu asked doubtfully, "Could it be that Fifth Brother isn't here?"

The servant suddenly pointed at Chen Ying and said happily, "Mr. Wulang is in front!"

From Hou Mo and Chen Xu's point of view, Chen Ying was standing in front of a campfire in a short-fronted Tsing Yi with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and was giving orders. He frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with other people's work. He picked up a branch, and even wrote instructions with gestures, and only asked others to understand his intentions before letting them do things.

Chen Ying is much younger than imagined; now Chen Ying has just passed the weak year, but his deeds and prestige will give others the illusion.Even at such a young age, he was still wearing civilian clothes and straw sandals, but the way he told others to listen carefully made him look very authoritative, and the seven or eight armored soldiers guarding him made him dignified.

Hou Mo and Chen Xu noticed that someone next to him mentioned that Chen Ying should look this way. At the same time, Zhou Qing, Guo Luo, Ashina Simo and Shan Xiongxin beside Chen Ying surrounded Hou Mo and Chen Xu in a fan shape. Come.

Hou Mo and Chen Xu hurriedly bowed to salute, reported their family name, and said: "Hou Mo and Chen Xu pay homage to Fifth Brother..."

Chen Ying asked suspiciously: "Hou Mo Chen Xu?"

Guo Luo murmured: "Hou Mo Chen Xu, Hou Mo Chen Xu?"

Suddenly, Guo Luo suddenly realized: "Are you the seventh son of Lingnan?"

Hou Mo and Chen Xu nodded: "Not bad!"

"Let's go in so we can talk..." Chen Ying listened to Guo Luo's meaning, this Hou Mo Chen Xu should also be a member of the Hou Mo Chen family.The Hou Mo Chen family in Lingshan should be the son of Hou Mo Chen Rui and Hou Mo Chen Ying when they married Lingnan.Chen Ying knew that Li Yuan was afraid of the Hou Mo Chen family. At this time, Lingnan did not belong to the Tang Dynasty, and he did not think about letting the Lingnan Hou Mo Chen family come into Li Yuan's sight so early.

Chen Ying took Hou Mo and Chen Xu to a tent on the mountainside. Because it was too simple, Chen Ying said with some embarrassment: "This place is very simple, so we can only make do with it."

"If you're thirsty, there's cold boiled water here," Chen Ying poured a bowl of cold boiled water into his stomach with a wooden spoon regardless of the three sevens and 21, and then said to Hou Mo and Chen Xu, "It's urgent to start spring and reclamation here. I'm not being polite to you, I don't know Xu Lang is here..."

Hou Mo and Chen Xu looked at Zhou Qing, Shan Xiongxin, and Guo Luo.

Shan Xiongxin understood, and quietly exited the tent, leaving room for Chen Ying, Hou Mo and Chen Xu.

To be honest, Chen Ying's feelings for Hou Mo and Chen's family are a little strange, and they definitely don't have as much sense of honor and identity as Hou Mo, Chen Qianhui and Hou Mo, Chen Xu.So even if he saw Hou Mo Chen Xu and learned from Guo Luo that this was Hou Mo Chen Qianhui's half-brother, Chen Ying was neither happy nor excited about reuniting after a long absence.Instead, Chen Ying said in a flat tone: "I don't know Xu Lang!"

"Fifth Brother, just call me Xiaoqi!" Hou Mo and Chen Xu were a little familiar, he followed Chen Ying's example, poured a bowl of cold boiled water into his stomach with a wooden spoon, Hou Mo and Chen Xu waited for a while, and then Excitedly said: "I have two things to do here, the first is to thank Fifth Brother!"

Chen Ying felt a little inexplicable, and smiled slightly: "Thank you? I don't remember what I helped you with?"

"Why didn't you help? The fifth brother's current reputation is better than a hundred thousand soldiers!" Hou Mo Chen Xu said: "The fifth brother is in Chang'an, so far away. Wanlangbing, they usually find trouble with our Hou Mochen family. These years, they have always annexed our Hou Mochen family's Guizhou. If it weren't for the fact that you defeated the Turks the year before last, Fifth Brother, you beheaded tens of thousands of people, maybe I don't even have a chance to stand here and talk to you!"

Feng An was originally a descendant of Feng Hong, the Northern Yan monarch during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.Because Feng Hong couldn't bear to surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty, he fled to Goguryeo and sent his son Feng Ye to lead 300 people across the sea to return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.After the fall of Beiyan, Feng Ye stayed in Panyu (now Guangzhou, Guangdong).When it came to Feng Ye's grandson, Feng Rong, he served as the governor of Liang Luozhou in the Southern Dynasty.Feng Rong's son, Feng Bao, married Mrs. Xian, the daughter of Xi's family in Gaoliang, Lingnan, and became the leader of the Yue nationality in Gaoliang area.

Hou Mo Chen Ying and Hou Mo Chen Rui were assigned to Lingnan by Yang Guangliu, relying on Hou Mochen's three thousand tigers Yi Cong to work hard in Lingnan, and finally defeated the Liao people, and became the Liao people of 180 Sanzhai in the [-]th Cave of the Seventeen States of Lingnan leader.

The Yue people and the Liao people are one of the two aboriginal peoples in Lingnan, occupying most of the territory of Guangxi and Guangdong today.

Chen Ying was very surprised, he didn't expect his fame to be so great, even if he was two or three thousand miles away, he could still keep Feng An away.

"Forget it, our brothers are with whom!" Originally, Chen Ying just wanted to be polite, but who would have thought that Hou Mo and Chen Xu would also be a master of beating snakes and sticks.One of them laughed and said: "That's right, we are all brothers who have not yet released the fifth server. The second thing I came here was to buy a batch of equipment from you!"

"What equipment? How much?" Chen Ying asked with a smile.

Hou Mo and Chen Xu pointed to the armor of Chen Ying's guards outside the window and said: "As for the armor on them, prepare me ten thousand sets, and for the kind of black horizontal knife in their hands, give me ten thousand handles so-so. By the way, there are also bows and crossbows, I want 100 pieces, and [-] million arrows will be enough!"

Chen Ying was shocked when he heard this number.He originally thought that the Hou Mochen clan had fallen, but he never expected that the Hou Mochen clan would have such a powerful strength in Lingnan.

These materials armed at least 5 horses.

Could it be that the Hou Mochen family still has more than [-] troops in Lingnan?
