Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 7 The Ditch of the Xin Family, the Town of Taoyuan

Taoyuan Town is a small town located about fifteen miles east of Guangling City.In the past, this place was called Xinjiagou. As the name suggests, almost half of the farmers here have the surname Xin.Because it is located in a traffic fortress, not far from the official road, but also not far from Guangling, this embarrassing situation prevents Xinjiagou from opening a post station with economic benefits, and can only be a farmer for generations.This situation didn't get better until Xin Wuji was promoted in high school, went to Beijing to rush for the exam, won the first prize, and returned home.

At that time, King Wu was Murong Sheng's father. Xin Wuji's high school champion was the pride of Guangling people. The craftsmanship of the proud wine "Peach Blossom Brewing" was handed over to the owner of Xinjiagou.With the development of wine and water trade, Xinjiagou, which originally had a population of only a hundred households, attracted many people looking for a living. Now, the resident population has exceeded a thousand households. So far, Xinjiagou's economy has flourished.And because of the extensive planting of peach trees, it was renamed "Taoyuan Town".

"It's so beautiful here."

The princess lifted the bead curtain playfully, and was sincerely moved when she saw the peach blossoms in March.

Looking at the past, Chen Ci is indeed too beautiful to behold. There are peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains, and the gurgling stream is jingling. Along the way, Chen Ci has been depressed.He felt strange, King Wu's attitude towards him was too ambiguous, this is not a good sign, he is not a fool, if King Wu really missed his old love, he would not be so eager to send him to Taoyuan Town, in the end, it was just a clearing relation.

But it doesn't matter.

"who!"

At this time, a few strong men came from the depths of the peach forest. They were either carrying hoes or sickles, staring at them.

One hundred elite guards from the Prince Wu's Mansion, and thirty warriors armed with sabers and cavalry, such a lineup is so powerful that it is difficult to keep silent.

An officer took out his token and said with a blank expression: "I am Li Minggong, the centurion commander of the Guangling Legion under the king of Wu's tent, with the word 'mang', the word 'jun', 'yang', the word flag, 'gong', and the word battalion centurion Li Minggong. Chen Ci returns home."

The army organization of the Great Liang Empire is ten thousand people for the army, one thousand people for the banner, one hundred people for the battalion, several armies can form a legion.This Guangling Army is the army commanded by Yu Changling, King Wu's most powerful general.

Those peasants looked at each other in a daze.

An officer in Wu Wangfu?Son-in-law?

How could an honest farmer who couldn't read these characters get in touch with such a high-ranking official?But when he heard the word "son-in-law", he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly said to report it.

Fan Chu looked at the carriage.

Chen Ci nodded.

In just one stick of incense, an old man with a cane walked towards him with the help of big men. This old man was in his eighties, but he didn't look old at all. look.

"Old owner, slow down." A man couldn't help shouting.

The old manor owner waved his crutches and greeted him on his shoulder, staring at him with cloudy old eyes, and scolded: "Are you blind or stupid, you don't even know when you return home?"

"Master? Which son?"

The big man who was beaten was crying and was very puzzled.

The old villa owner pretended to fight again, but the man hurriedly begged for mercy, but he really didn't dare to disobey.

Chen Cixin said that judging by the age of this person, I am afraid that his seniority is outrageous. Maybe that cheap old man will have to respectfully call him uncle when he comes. So he got out of the car with the princess on his arm.But the old owner seemed to be more anxious than making a statement. He both disliked his inconvenient legs and feet, and disliked that the crutch was too intrusive.

When the Chen Ci and the two came, the old owner had already burst into tears.

"Meet the old owner."

The old owner was flattered, and hurriedly supported the two of them, murmuring "I can't" and "I can't", while talking, his eyes were red again, with hot tears glistening, he stroked Chen Ci's hand, as if he was Playing with an antique that he couldn't put it down, at the end, he smiled, "I've grown up so much, it's good to be back, good to be home."

Seeing this, Li Minggong clasped his fists and said, "My son-in-law, now that we have arrived at Taoyuan Town, the subordinates will return to the city to return."

"Okay, thank you."

Li Minggong commanded the soldiers to retreat, and under the gaze of everyone, they disappeared between the Taolin Valley Road.

After the people left, the old owner said with a smile: "Master, speaking of it, this is your first time returning to your hometown. You may not know me, but I recognize you. Speaking of which, you still have to call me uncle."

"Oh?" Chen Ci was stunned.

The old owner was sad, "It's your first time to Guangling, it's normal that you don't know me, but it's okay, since you're back, this will be your home from now on."

After the speech, I saw what Xanadu is.

The old farm owner led a group of people through the peach forest, which was a lively spectacle, surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers and surrounded by terraced fields that descended obliquely one by one, and the fields were golden rapeseed fields.Through the terraced fields, you can see the market, and the houses are row upon row.The houses next to each other are not only not crowded, but well arranged.

The princess's watery eyes widened.

It's so beautiful here.

Wonders of the world.

The old proprietor stroked a small goatee on his chin with a smile, "Because of the kindness of King Wu back then, he gave preferential policies, coupled with your father's financial support, Taoyuan Town has developed very well these years, with abundant resources and sufficient food and clothing. "

"It's pretty good." Chen Ci nodded.

Everyone walked into the town along the terraced fields. Unlike the ethereal appearance on the outside, the place is full of human fireworks, vendors hawking, farmers returning from work, peasant women chatting about their daily life, and children playing... Seeing Lao Zhuang The Lord led so many men with swords and horses into the town, they were all surprised, stopped what they were doing, and looked suspiciously at Chen Ci and the others.

"Master, who is he?"

"Vendor, has someone from Guangling come to inspect the liquor workshop?"

"..."

A group of people chattered around the old owner and asked.

The old owner waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then began to introduce Chen Ci's identity, "No, listen to me, everyone, he is the prime minister's son, and now he has returned to his hometown."

The prime minister's son?
These ordinary people don't have the concept of a prime minister, but they all know who the prime minister is, and it's Xin Wuji.That is the most outstanding scholar in Taoyuan Town. It is because of him that Taoyuan Town is prosperous today.

After a moment of astonishment, everyone was excited like waking up from a dream.

The old owner managed to appease everyone's emotions, and then he took Chen Ci and others across the street and came to a small courtyard, "Your father came back once before, and he lived here. After he left, he was idle, and people often come Cleaning, now that you are back, you can live here. Oh, by the way, the development of Taoyuan Town is inseparable from your father's financial support. You earn a lot of money every year, and it's all on the account. I'll bring it back to you You, the money is yours."

"Thank you."

Submissions do cost money.

Not to mention the expenses of the thirty soldiers behind him, he did need money to start a career. When he saw the situation in Taoyuan Town, he had a goal.
