Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 193 Good Big Brother Goes on the Horse and Recommends the Village
The lively reception lasted all night, and when they got up the next morning, all the military officers stayed overnight in Sun Xin's village, and Sun Xin's courtyard was full of dishes and cups.

Several farmers were packing their things there, and when Sun Xin walked out of the yard, he saw Wu Song lead a horse out of the stable.

Wu Song greeted Sun Xin from a distance, walked in and asked, but it turned out that he was going to Qingzhou today.

Now the group of people in Yinmachuan are mainly connected by Wu Song. At this time, half of the bandits in Yinmachuan have settled down in Sunjiazhuang, while the remaining bandits, Pei Xuan and the others, only left more than 20 elites to accompany them. At this time, he was hiding around Jizhou in a guerrilla manner.

They didn't rob traders, they just bought horses from the north of Jizhou in various ways. After they got the horses, they were escorted to Dengzhou by special people. The road would pass through Qingzhou and Laizhou. The journey was very tortuous, and Sun Xin couldn't even imagine How did Pei Xuan and the others do it.

But to be honest, he has brought back ten good horses to his farm in the past half a month. Pei Xuan and the others said that the roads are easier to walk in summer.

However, in winter they have fewer people, and after the plants in the Northland wither and fall their leaves, it is not easy for them to hide in the forest.

The total number of horses that can be obtained this year is only about 30, but the quality of the horses is indeed much better. These [-] horses are all good horses that can go into battle.

Now Sun Xin and the people in Yinmachuan have reached a stable cooperative relationship. After several transactions, the two parties have a certain degree of trust, but Pei Xuan and the others still insist that they are unwilling to work in Sun Xin's Zhuangzi. When a group of horse bandits crosses Hebei.

After sending Wu Song to Zhuangzi, Sun Xin was planning to go back and say good morning to those drunken officers. After all, after giving so many gifts, it is worthwhile to leave some affection.

Just as he was about to go back, he heard the sound of a fast horse coming from in front of Zhuangzi, and when he turned his head, he saw his elder brother, Sun Li, coming quickly on that black-tailed horse.

Seeing Sun Xin from a distance, Sun Li lifted the reins lightly. The good horse under his crotch seemed to know the owner's intentions, and generally stopped his steps slowly. It fell in front of Sun Xin.

Sun Xin is really envious of his good riding skills.

"I heard that you have been promoted to the second card of Dengzhou Prefecture. I rushed to the Shili card yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be too late."

When Sun Li spoke, he looked Sun Xin up and down. Although Sun Xin was not wearing an official robe at this time, since he got the news, when he looked at Sun Xin's younger brother again, he felt that his young brother had already grown into a capable person. He has become a good son of a well-established household.

Although the family business that Sun Xin earned before made him feel at ease a lot, after all, in his thinking, making a fortune is not the same as being an official. Now Sun Licai really feels that Sun Xin has become a person who can support the family, and he is very relieved .

Needless to say about the friendship between the brothers, since the elder brother came, Sun Xin turned around and smiled and asked the elder brother to enter the yard to chat.

"You took over the group of horse bandits on the Yinma River, how are you doing now?"

The two brothers kept in touch with each other from time to time, and this matter was a letter that Sun Xin sent to Houjiazhai last time.

Sun Xin said with a smile: "That iron-faced Pei Xuan is quite a straightforward person, and the horse bandits under him are also quite well-behaved. Nothing happened after they got to Zhuangzi. There are also quite a few in the army who were born in Yinmachuan horse bandits."

Sun Li is not such an old-fashioned person. Hearing that the younger brother was able to frighten the horse thieves into his own use, he nodded reassuringly. He had no opinion on this matter.
He thought for a while and said to Sun Xin: "I also have a connection here, I wonder if you still want to expand your territory?"

As soon as Sun Xin heard it, he became interested. He made a lot of money by gathering Sun Ji through the Sun family, but in this era, it is almost impossible to gain a foothold through business. on the land it occupies.

He also doesn't want to continue to expand the land on the ten-mile card, but now the land area owned by his Sunjiaji Sunjiazhuang has exceeded [-] mu. Although in later generations, this is only the normal land area owned by an ordinary natural village, and even It is not a big rich village, but due to the advancement of technological conditions in later generations, after the founding of New China, many villages expanded the arable land area on a large scale by restorating water conservancy facilities and other methods.

In this era, a lot of land that could be cultivated by later generations could not be cultivated at all, so although Sun Xin's Sunjiazhuang only had an area of ​​[-] mu of land, in terms of the actual living area, it was two or three times larger than the average area of ​​natural villages in later generations.

If you want to expand the cultivated land, there is not much space on the ten-mile card.

"What kind of access?"

"There is a Peach Blossom Village at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain in Qingzhou, don't you know?"

"But at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain in Qingzhou?"

Sun Xin was quite impressed when he heard about this place.

In the Water Margin, Lu Zhishen lured the bully Zhou Tong into the gold account by mistake in Peach Blossom Village. It should be this place, but in this life, when Lu Zhishen went to Peach Blossom Mountain, the bully Zhou Tong had already died, so it should never have happened. s story.

"That's the place. A few days ago, I met a team selling goods from Houjiazhai to Qingzhou, and some of them came from that Taohua village. I talked to them, and they said that there used to be a group of people in Taohua village in Qinzhou A big landlord built a village called Peach Blossom Village. The man in charge of their village is Mrs. Liu. Most of the land in Peach Blossom Village originally belonged to him. The old Mr. Liu had already gone two months ago. There is only one daughter under her knees, she married out a few years ago, and the whole village has no leader."

"The nephews of the old grandpa's family don't have the face to guard the village. They say that the land will be seized by the powerful sooner or later."

"The merchants who sold goods told me that they wanted a powerful family to take over Mr. Liu's land in their village, so as to save them from being exploited."

Sun Xin nodded.

According to the records of the Water Margin, Taohua Village is also a rich place surrounded by mountains and rivers, and just like my own Sunjiazhuang is backed by Dengyun Mountain, behind Taohua Village is Taohua Mountain, the strategy is deep enough, as long as the forces behind the mountain are wiped out, It might not be possible to build a stable village with arable land and armed force like the Sunjiazhuang of Shili Pai.

Taohuazhuang is not too far away from his ten-mile card. If he uses a fast horse to contact him, it may take half a day.

Sun Xin said to Sun Li: "This place is really nice."

Sun Li nodded and said: "I was thinking about this when I came back. If you are willing, we will set off together to see what is going on in Taohuazhuang."
