In the spring of the second year of Longqing, Chen Mu took office as a thousand households in Xiangshan.

From Qingyuan Anyuan Station to Tanjiang Station, south to the northwest of Guangcheng under the Xiaojin Mountain, southbound avenue around the city, to Chengnan City Bosi to cross the river by boat, once again down-to-earth, has arrived in Xiangshan.

As soon as he got off the boat, beckoning more than 50 family members, servants, and flag officials to lead horses and pull carts, there were Xiangshan County officials on the shore who ran over, recognized the official robe on Chen Mu's body, and asked with a smile: "But Chen Qianhu?" Zhou County has let the little one wait for you here for nine whole days! ”

A government official led the way, a government official ran to report the news, and everyone surrounded Chen Mu to Xiangshan County.

There is no one more mysterious than Shao Tingda's feeling, he went back to Yuegang to do things for Chen Mu, just arrived in his hometown and heard that Chenghai was fighting, and caught up with the good time, the price of the land near the sea outside Yuegang City was halved, and five hundred taels of silver were sprinkled out like water in exchange for a wooden box of real estate deeds.

The road was blocked, so he lived in Yuegang for two months, and when he returned to Qingyuan, he would have already gone to the house empty, and then he knew that his brother was already a thousand households in Xiangshan, and he himself was a hundred households in Xiangshan.

Only then did he bring several people to chase after him all the way and catch up with Chen Mu in Xiaojin Mountain.

He brought back to Chen Mu two families surnamed Shao, and the family was a widow.

Speaking of Chen Mu's distant cousin, called Shao Xing and Shao Yong, when he was a teenager, he couldn't get used to playing guns and sticks, and he couldn't learn to cultivate and read in the field, and he followed the Haikou on the shore on the boat.

Shao Tingda returned to Qingyuan, worried that he would encounter defeated bandits and Zeng Yiyu on the road, so he brought them back, so they could dance with knives and spears, and they were relatives who knew the roots, and planned to stay by his side as a helper.

Anyway, if you have this feat, you should be mixed with the general flag when you come back.

Where do you know, it's not the general flag, it's Shao Baihu!

Chen Mu went to the Xiangshan County Ya first, and when he saw Zhou Xing, Zhou Xing said with a sad face: "Chen Qianhu, Zhou is waiting for you so hard!" As he walked, he said, I will take you to the Thousand Households first, and then I will tour around the country in the next few days, so that I can understand the military fields and regions under my rule. ”

Chen Mu responded with a smile, anyway, he was tired all the way, and he was in a hurry to rest for a few days, not to mention that even if Zhou Xing didn't say it, he had to walk the entire Xiangshan once.

However, he saw that Zhou Xing was in such a hurry, and he was afraid that something had happened.

Military.

"The county where the thousand households are located is not far from the west, there is no township in Xiangshan County, since the fourteenth year of Hongwu changed the township to the fangdu, the county has a total of one square and ten capitals, the county governance yamen is in Renhoufang, and the thousand households are located in the good word capital."

On the road, Zhou Xing introduced the situation of Xiangshan County to Chen Mu, because of the proximity to Guangzhou Mansion, although Xiangshan County is very large, there is no city, and the eleven squares are adjacent to each other to form settlements. Because the people are few and the land is narrow, close to the rivers and seas, the people mostly make a living from fishing and merchants.

The carriage and horses are moving slowly, the dilapidated Xiangshan Thousand Households are in sight, the huge Thousand Households have no stone walls, only wooden fences, and a large number of houses and thousands of households are all equipped with them.

Chen Mu didn't feel good.

There were already officials who went to the Qianhu Office to report, and at this time, from a distance, hundreds of people were standing outside the door of the Qianhu Office, waiting in a crooked formation, Rao is Chen Mu was used to the virtue of the Qingyuan Guard, and he still felt a headache.

These are the first two words that only have a hundred wastes waiting to be revived, where can they be raised!

"This is my Thousand Households? Brother Zhou, in the past, Chen thought that Qingyuanwei had ...... Huh! Chen Mu couldn't help frowning, but when he got closer, his eyes widened suddenly, and he gave up Zhou Xing and rode forward with his legs clamped on the horse's belly, leading a group of soldiers to run and hug.

Standing outside the Thousand Households and leading the flag army to greet the Thousand Households was none other than Deng Zilong!

"You said you were a deputy thousand households, and you didn't tell me which thousand households it was, it turned out to be here!"

Chen Mu turned over and dismounted, Deng Zilong was more surprised than him, "You, you, you are a thousand households in Xiangshan?" ”

How did this kid run to me!

Come on, Deng Zilong was not as happy as Chen Mu, so he sighed and arched his hand: "Deng Zilong, deputy of Xiangshan, meet thousands of households." ”

The young man standing side by side with Deng Zilong also arched his hand and said: "Sun Ao, the lowly deputy of Qianhu, meet Qianhu!" ”

The two deputy thousand households saluted, and the two hundred-person army formations behind also saluted one after another. If it weren't for Deng Zilong, Chen Mu's face wouldn't know what to stink into, but now he didn't have the energy, so he gestured forward and said, "Go in and say, you came early, tell me about the situation of Qianhu first." Zhou County Order, please! ”

He already knew about the fact that there were no 100 households in Xiangshan, and in the past, the 1,000 households were eaten up and the salaries were all eaten, and Deng Zilong injected Chen Mu with a shot of strength, at least in his opinion, this house of 'young Zhuang faction' is still promising.

Two deputy thousand households, four hundred households, and one servant, with an average age of less than thirty - of course, Wei Balang has made great efforts at this age.

By mistake, Deng Zilong actually became his subordinate, and the smile on Chen Mu's face couldn't be stopped at all.

When he beat Li Yayuan, he was still Shangguan!

Although the Qianhu is not very good, the Qianhu Yamen is extremely luxurious.

The roof is blue-tiled animal spine, and the beams and eaves are painted and decorated.

There are six wings, two stables, and three vestibules in the front gatehouse, and six wings, three storerooms, and three back halls in the middle gatehouse. To the west is the martial arts field, to the east is a thousand houses, with prison cells, kitchens, all surrounded by courtyard walls, and there is a large pond courtyard in the back hall, planted with a few coconut trees.

Sitting on the chair of the main seat of the red sandalwood master in the front hall, Chen Mu patted the armrest, and said to Zhou Xing, who was sitting next to him: "I know how the last thousand households died, this chair, didn't raid the house?" ”

"After copying, I left eight tables and chairs in the front hall, and the others were emptied, and four thousand taels of silver were dug up in the backyard, and the private property of thousands of houses was filled with seven thousand taels." Zhou Xing nodded and responded: "As for last year's incident, there were originally two deputy thousand households left in the guard, and one was exiled to charge Jiubian and the other was hanged. ”

Accustomed to life and death, this damn Chen Mu didn't sympathize at all, and said with a smile: "This is cheap Chen, Brother Deng, you came early, how many flag troops there are in Xiangshan, you should have counted, right?" ”

Deng Zilong got up and gave up his hand, and after a pause, he said, "Qianhu, Deng plans to resign." ”

Well?

"Don't! As soon as Chen came, you resigned, what's going on, tell me. Chen Mu almost slapped the table, he was still happy because of Deng Zilong, this one was about to resign, "Let's solve the matter if there is something." ”

Xin Jiangnan has never been so worried in the face of the rebels who are several times his own, and he has never been so angry, and said: "Xiangshan guards the Thousand Households, the flag army has a total of 13, and only 13,000 mu can be cultivated by the 50,000 mu military Tianwei, 20,000 mu are on the mountain, not to mention 8,000 mu of wasteland, 4,000 mu are directly zoned in the sea, and more than 2,000 mu are occupied by the bald donkey temple in Guangcheng. ”

"Can these thousands of households stay, this year's tax of the Guang Imperial Court will have to pay at least 10,000 stone of military rations!"
