Chapter 10: The Land of Murder

Chen Ying walked gently to the window of the study with his hands behind his back, looking out the window at the leaves that had begun to turn yellow. After knowing the autumn, Chen Ying sighed and said calmly: "If I am Guanglu Prison and you are Guanglu Cheng, then it means that even if Your Majesty doesn't want to use me, it is not difficult to mix with wealth." If I am the secretary and you are the secretary, then it means that Your Majesty really wants to use me, and now let you become Guanglu Cheng from the five grades, and I am the secretary and young eunuch, which just shows that Your Majesty not only does not trust me, but is vigilant and vigilant. I'm alone, and I'm a secretary and supervisor who can't be splashed by Pei Lone's water, except for pretending to be deaf and dumb, I'm afraid I can't do anything. ”

Xu Jingzong's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked at Chen Ying and said, "It's good that Lang Jun can understand." ”

Chen Ying looked at Xu Jingzong and was a little speechless, this product obviously saw that there was a problem, but he didn't say anything. Maybe it's because Xu Jingzong hasn't really regarded himself as a friend yet, thinking of this, Chen Ying felt sad in his heart. But after thinking about it, he was relieved, in this era, Xu Jingzong naturally thought that if he wanted to have any help in his career, it was either the support of nobles or the help of family valves.

When an official reaches the level of Chen Ying, the main thing is not the size of the individual's ability, but the emperor's trust or not. If the emperor doesn't trust, it's wrong to do anything, but if the emperor trusts, even if he doesn't do anything, he can still take credit. Perhaps, it is precisely because Li Yuan does not believe in himself enough, in the eyes of Xu Jingzong, a general who is not trusted by the emperor, let alone a smooth future, I am afraid that he will have to worry about his life.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying was a little relieved.

Chen Ying himself is not a gate valve, but he can be the ancestor of the gate valve, the Chen family has no celebrity since Chen Qun's death, and the Chen family has also collapsed. Since he started to work hard, he has made the Chen family a generation of nobles and wealthy families with the same seven sects and five hopes.

Chen Ying muttered, "Why is Your Majesty jealous of me? ”

Xu Jingzong bowed down and said: "Actually, this point is also incomprehensible!" ”

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "Don't worry about it for now, you help me do something, find a Zhuangzi near the left side of Chang'an City, it doesn't need to be too big, it can be a thousand acres in size, and you don't need fertile fields, thin fields, even barren mountains!" ”

Xu Jingzong looked at Chen Ying in surprise and said, "Lang Jun didn't buy a house in Chang'an?" ”

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "No, how could I have this kung fu before?" ”

"I'm afraid this is the reason why Your Majesty is suspicious of Lang Jun!"

"Ahh Chen Ying said in surprise: "Won't it?" ”

"Those who have no permanent property have no perseverance, Lang Jun did not buy a family business in Chang'an, and Lang Jun is still alone now, how can he make His Majesty feel at ease?" Xu Jingzong smiled faintly, looked at Chen Ying's eyes and said: "Now if Lang Jun wants to buy a house, it is a good opportunity, Liu Wenjing has fallen, his family property is gone, he has more than 270 dumps of good land under his name, and there are 40 dumps of mulberry fields, I am afraid that the good fields have already been divided up by the gates, since Lang Jun does not want good fields, it should not be difficult to buy some thin fields, but thin fields, I am afraid that I will not be able to make ends meet!" ”

"I didn't buy land to farm."

"Don't farm? Is it desolate? ”

Chen Yingdao: "I plan to open an iron mill outside the city, if you don't farm, you can do thin fields, and wasteland is the best, even if it is a barren mountain." ”

At the same time, Chen Ying refused the post of secretary and young eunuch to Li Yuan on the grounds that he was seriously injured and unable to inspect, and at the same time resigned Li Yuan from all the positions he held in his body, retaining only the title of Duke of Pengcheng County and the rank of hussar general.

And Xu Jingzong took Chen Ying's money to buy the land that Chen Ying needed. Chen Ying's land is actually really hard to buy, what Chen Ying needs is not a grange, more than 1,000 acres of land, basically not connected together, and the land that is connected is basically in the hands of the lords and clans, they will not sell the land at all, this is actually not a matter that money can solve.

……

A month and a half ago, Su Hu was at home by a group of black-clothed warriors who broke his limbs and sent him 10,000 gold. It wasn't until these black-clothed people revealed their identities that Su Hu knew that Chen Ying was actually the fifth son of Hou Mo Chen's upper room.

Su Hu didn't dare to tell the truth to anyone, and claimed to the public that it was the tomb robber king he cracked three years ago to take revenge, and the criminal department also issued a sea fishing document to arrest Wang Huiye.

Although Su Hu has been lying in bed to recuperate these days, all the affairs of Wannian County have always been in Su Hu's hands.

It is said that Zhao Zhiyong is Su Hu's henchman, Zhao Zhiyong was Su Wei's son of Zhao Qingshan in his early years, and when Su Wei was the former Sui Prime Minister, he promoted Zhao Zhiyong to Wannian County, and later Zhao Zhiyong mixed into the official position of Pingliang County Governor, and Zhao Zhiyong was a small official in the first district of Wannian County's private house secretary, and gradually became Wannian County's seventh product on the county.

However, Su Hu did not recommend Zhao Zhiyong as the acting Wannian County Order, but recommended Bo Quan Wanji, the master of the Seven Grades. Now Quan Wanji is the acting county magistrate of Wannian County, but Zhao Zhiyong does not deal with Quan Wanji, raising his eyebrows and raising his eyes. It can be said that it is by taking advantage of the disagreement between Quan Wanji and Zhao Zhiyong that Su Hu can firmly control the affairs of Wannian County.

Just when it was just dark, Zhao Zhiyong came to Su Hu's mansion in a carriage and told Su Hu about the situation for nearly half an hour.

Su Hu listened quietly, his face still unshocked.

This made Zhao Zhiyong very strange, it is said that Su Hu should give Quan Wanji a little color to see, so that Quan Wanji knows who is the palm print of Wannian County.

It's just that Zhao Zhiyong didn't know that Su Hu was already a waste at this time. It is possible for his wounds to be healed in later generations, but in this era, there is no possibility at all. He just delayed as much time as possible, and when he couldn't delay it in the future, he asked the court to give him a chance to support.

Although he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Su Huhu's gourd, Zhao Zhiyong still muttered: "Su Xianzun, you don't know, Pengcheng County Gong found a waste gatekeeper and actually wanted to buy thin land and wasteland. ”

As the saying goes, it is unintentional, and it sounds intentional, when Zhao Zhiyong said Chen Ying, Su Hu subconsciously shuddered.

"What did you say?"

"Oh, the people of Pengcheng County want to buy land, they are really hungry, and they don't even let go of wasteland!"

"Do you know what Pengcheng County Gong does when he buys wasteland?"

"I heard that it is going to build an iron mill, it is really ridiculous, there is no iron ore near Chang'an, if you buy iron ore from other places and make iron, it is not enough to protect the capital!" Zhao Zhiyong chuckled: "What a fool!" ”

Hundreds of miles do not sell wood, thousands of miles do not sell chestnuts. In ancient times, it was the golden rule of doing business, but in fact, it was also limited by transportation capacity. The nearest iron mine to Chang'an should be Taolin County in Hongnong County, but this distance is also more than 400 miles, nearly 500 miles away, if you transport iron ore even if it is worthless iron ore, it will be as high as 40 to 50 yuan per stone in Chang'an City.

This transportation cost, coupled with the cost of materials built in this era, if Chen Ying smelts iron in Chang'an, he will not make money at all, but will lose all his money.

However, they did not know that Chen Ying was using a blast furnace to make steel, and with the successful invention of spring steel, Chen Ying could immediately make a carriage that could carry more than 2,000 catties, so that the transportation cost could be reduced, and the cost of ironmaking could be controlled within a gratifying range.

In Chen Ying's view, steel should be sold for 600 yuan per ton, which is equivalent to 30 tons of grain for one ton of steel, and the huge profit is huge, if you don't make this money, you are simply committing a crime.

When Su Hu heard that Chen Ying was going to buy wasteland to prepare for the construction of a workshop, he asked Zhao Zhiyong: "Don't you remember that there is still a wasteland in Qinglin?" ”

"The county is talking about the mass grave in the forest? It's just that it's a terrible place! ”

Su Hu was nodding with the only movable head in his body at the moment: "Big murderer? The Duke of Pengcheng County killed tens of thousands of Turks at once, and killed people in Hedong, can he be more fierce than him? ”

Zhao Zhiyong seemed to suddenly realize: "Xiaguan knows what to do!" ”
