Chapter 157 The True Strength of the Hou Mo Chen Clan

In the end, in desperation, Chen Ying only had to buy 1,780 acres of low-lying paddy fields in the Jianhe River in his own name, and more than 260 people from 49 households in this small village became Chen Ying's tenants.

Only when Chen Ying becomes the master of this room will the task of planting rice be arranged.

Chen Ying took Xin'an County Ling Wang Wei and Henan County Governor Shi Liu Jingzhong to inspect one settlement after another. If it were in other parts of the Central Plains, it would not be difficult to resettle hundreds of thousands of displaced people. However, in the hilly area of western Henan, it is really not difficult to resettle hundreds of thousands of displaced people.

The small basin in the middle of the hilly area, as long as it is reclaimable, has basically been reclaimed. Now seeing that spring ploughing is in place, Chen Ying is also secretly anxious. Originally, he had thought of using the barren hills to cultivate terraced fields. It's just that after the field trip, Chen Ying realized that he was thinking too simply.

Liu Jingzhong, the magistrate of Henan County, pointed to a gentle slope and told Chen Ying: "The soil here is good, you can build ladders, but the rain in the rainy season here in Xin'an is very fierce, and it is definitely not possible to use soil. It is necessary to pile up stones, starting from the mountainside of this hilly, at least three hundred and four zhang away, two zhang high stone square, even if you use stones, you must drive large wooden stakes to the bottom, and press the bottom with huge stones. This project is too big, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Henan County to come forward to preside, if you want to rely on the power of a village......"

Chen Ying's first time on the field, the more he thought about it, the more he retreated, and the cost of building a small terraced field on this hill was tens of thousands of yuan.

Just when Chen Ying was thinking about whether to apply to Li Jiancheng or Li Yuan to send these displaced people to Guanzhong and scatter them in various counties in Guanzhong, suddenly a cyan official in a nine-grade official uniform bowed down and said: "No, no, no, it's not as arduous as Liu Changshi imagined, there are two ideas for building terraces, one is to build a high platform to consolidate the soil, and the other is to plant a hedge!" ”

Chen Ying raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Plant a hedge?" ”

Chen Ying naturally knows what it means to plant hedges, where shrubs or small trees are densely planted at close distance between the rows, planted into single or double rows, and the regular planting form is called hedges, also called hedges, raw hedges, etc. One of the world's three major gardens, European-style gardens often use landscaping techniques. Because of the selection of tree species, they can be pruned into various shapes and can be combined with each other, which enhances the ornamental effect and artistic value. In addition, hedges can also play a role in covering bad viewpoints, isolating and protecting, preventing dust and noise, and guiding visitors to view the route.

Of course, planted fences can be found in any corner of the city in the future.

The little official in Tsing Yi explained very seriously: "Building a high platform is of course very effective, but the cost is too high, and the gains outweigh the losses." If you build a 500-acre high, you will invest at least 20,000 or more. ”

Chen Ying nodded frequently.

It's just that Liu Jingzhong's face is obviously not good, and he looks at Wang Wei with sharp eyes. Wang Wei also had a wry smile on his face, this Jiupin official is the lord of Xin'an County. According to the system, Xin'an County belongs to the middle county, and the main book should be from the eighth grade, or the eighth grade. It's just that this Xu Cangshan's background is too shabby.

Xu Cangshan's mother is a female prisoner in the county jail of Xin'an County. In ancient times, female prisoners would be sentenced to prison for adultery, and even sentenced to official kilns as prostitutes. Because of Xu Cangshan's appearance, he was guarded by the women's prisoner's mother-in-law, and together with the bustard woman in the Luoyang brothel, he often forced the female prisoner to sleep. Mother Xu naturally couldn't escape bad luck. Later, Xu's mother became pregnant, but she didn't know who Xu Cangshan's real father was.

However, when Xu Cangshan was nine years old, his mother died of illness. He was adopted as an adopted son by the jailer Xu Dayan, an old bachelor. Xu Cangshan immediately changed his surname to Xu. Later, when Xu Cangshan was fifteen years old, he replaced Xu Dayan as the prison of Xin'an County, and it was rumored that Xu Cangshan took the path of the former county commander Gao Yazhi before he was promoted to the ninth grade master.

However, Wang Wei smiled bitterly at this time, because he found that Chen Ying looked at this Xu Cangshan very pleasantly, Wang Wei had not opened his mouth to scold Xu Cangshan for retreating, but he saw Chen Ying staring at him with a murderous face, and he was so frightened that he swallowed the words in his mouth.

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

Xu Cangshan said: "Returning to Chen Anfu, Xiaguan's family was poor when he was young, and his family only had seven or eight acres of thin fields at the foot of Qingyang Mountain. Later, I planted a fence at the edge of the field, and then the soil washed down from the mountain will be blocked in front of the fence, and the mud of the fence will be flattened, and the field will not be less, but with the increase of silt, it will slowly become larger......"

Chen Ying was overjoyed when he heard this, he was worried that he couldn't find a way to build terraces, if he used Xu Cangshan's method, he could save money and trouble. The most important thing in the hilly areas of Henan County is the bushes, as long as some are transplanted, you can create a fence in a very short time, fix 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 of the East Palace, and the left and right Si Yu to garrison Henan, to resist the invasion of Zheng State, and to pacify Henan, and to settle hundreds of thousands of displaced people. ”

Xu Cangshan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Cangshan was born in poverty, grew up eating hundreds of meals, and didn't dare to expect to fly Huang Tengda, I only hope that I can be a villager before I die." ”

Chen Ying said: "The monarch, the one who gives the order; the ministers, the people who carry out the king's orders; The people produce corn and flax for vessels, and currency for money, and serve as those who are above them. Heroes don't ask about their origins, and I didn't win much this time, but thirty or fifty heads, it is not difficult to change you for a commander of a martial cavalry. You just need to appease Ben, settle the hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Henan, and lead them to build terraces, and in the future, they will be Baili Hou and Qianli Hou. ”

……

Just when Chen Ying was busy reetting the displaced people, Hou Mo Chen Xu also came to Xin'an with his servants and lightly dressed. Hou Mo and Chen Xu looked for Chen Ying in the crowd, but he didn't find it for a long time. In fact, when he looked at Liu Jingzhong, he felt that Liu Jingzhong was personable, like standing out from the crowd. However, Liu Jingzhong's youth is too big to be good at all.

Hou Mo Chen Xu said suspiciously: "Could it be that the fifth brother is not here?" ”

The servant suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Ying and said happily: "Wulangjun is in front!" ”

In Hou Mo Chen Xu's view, Chen Ying was wearing a short shirt and standing in front of a campfire with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and was ordering things, he frowned, as if he was not very satisfied with other people's work, only to see him squat down and pick up a branch, even write and give instructions with gestures, and only ask others if they really understand his intentions before letting people do things.

Chen Ying is much younger than expected; Now Chen Ying has just passed the age of the weak crown, but his actions and prestige will give others an illusion. Even though he was so young, he was still wearing cloth clothes and straw sandals, but the way he ordered others to listen carefully made him look very prestigious, and seven or eight armored guards made him also majestic.

Hou Mo Chen Xu noticed that someone next to him mentioned that Chen Ying was looking this way, and at the same time, Zhou Qing, Guo Luo, Ashina Simo and Shan Xiongxin beside Chen Ying fanned and surrounded Hou Mo and Chen Xu.

Hou Mo Chen Xu hurriedly bowed, reported to his home, and said, "Hou Mo Chen Xu visits the fifth brother......

Chen Ying asked suspiciously, "Hou Mo Chen Xu?" ”

Guo Luo muttered: "Hou Mo Chen Xu, Hou Mo Chen Xu? ”

Suddenly, Guo Luo suddenly realized: "You are the seventh son of Lingnan?" ”

Hou Mo Chen Xu nodded: "Not bad!" ”

"Let's go in and 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. Lingshan Hou Mo Chen should be the son born to Hou Mo Chen Rui and Hou Mo Chen Yingliu when they were married to Lingnan. Chen Ying knew that Li Yuan was jealous of the Hou Mo Chen clan, and Lingnan did not belong to the Tang Dynasty at this time, and he did not think about letting the Lingnan Hou Mo Chen clan enter 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 was a little embarrassed and said: "This side is very simple, so I can only settle it." ”

"If you're thirsty, there's cold boiled water here," Chen Ying poured a bowl of cold boiled water with a wooden spoon and poured it into his stomach regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and then said to Hou Mo Chen Xu: "The spring reclamation here is urgent, and I don't know what to do with you, I don't know ......how Xu Lang is here."

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

Shan Xiongxin understood and quietly withdrew from the tent, leaving the space for Chen Ying and Hou Mo and Chen Xu.

To be honest, Chen Ying's feelings about Hou Mo Chen's family, how to say, are a little unfamiliar, and there is definitely not as much sense of honor and identity as Hou Mo Chen Qian and Hou Mo Chen Xu. So even if he saw Hou Mo Chen Xu and got this from Guo Luo's mouth that it was Hou Mo Chen Qian's half-brother, Chen Ying had neither the joy nor the excitement of reuniting after a long absence. Chen Ying said in a flat tone: "I don't know Xu Lang!" ”

"Fifth brother just call me Xiaoqi!" Hou Mo Chen Xu is a little self-cooked, he learned from Chen Ying's appearance, took a wooden spoon and poured a bowl of cold boiled water into his stomach, Hou Mo Chen Xu for a while, and then said excitedly: "I have two things here, the first is to thank the 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 it help? As far as the fifth brother's current prestige is concerned, it is better than 100,000 male soldiers! Hou Mo Chen Xu said: "The fifth brother is in Chang'an, I don't know if it's too far away, that old boy Feng Ang in Gaozhou, relying on their Feng family's 100,000 wolf soldiers, usually doesn't look for our Hou Mo Chen family's stubble, these years they have been like annexing our Hou Mo Chen family's Guizhou, if it weren't for the fifth brother the year before last, you defeated the Turks and beheaded hundreds of thousands of people, maybe I wouldn't have had a chance to stand here and talk to you!" ”

Feng Ang was originally a descendant of Feng Hong, the monarch of Northern Yan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Feng Hong could not bear to surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty, so 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 the Northern Yan, Feng Ye remained in Panyu (present-day Guangzhou, Guangdong). When Feng Ye's grandson Feng Rong was served, he served as the assassin of Liangluo Prefecture in the Southern Dynasty. Feng Rong's son, Feng Bao, married Mrs. Xian, the daughter of the Yue family surnamed Xijia in Gaoliang, Lingnan, and thus became the leader of the Yue people in the Gaoliang area.

Hou Mo Chen Ying and Hou Mo Chen Rui were matched by Yang Guangliu to Lingnan, relying on Hou Mo Chen's three thousand fierce tigers to work hard in Lingnan, and finally subdued the fangs and became the leaders of the 183 fangs in the thirteen caves of the seventeen states of Lingnan.

The Yue and Fang people are one of the two indigenous ethnic groups in Lingnan and occupy most of the territory of present-day Guangxi and Guangdong, respectively.

Chen Ying was very surprised, he didn't expect that his fame was so big, even if he was two or three thousand miles away, he could still make Feng Ang retreat.

"Forget it, who is our brother!" Originally, Chen Ying just wanted to be polite, who would have thought that Hou Mo Chen Xu was also a master of fighting snakes with sticks. One said with a haha: "That's right, we are all brothers who have not come out of the five suits, and the second thing I came here is to buy a batch of equipment from you!" ”

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

Hou Mo Chen Xu pointed to the armor on Chen Ying's personal guard outside the window and said: "Just the kind of armor on their bodies, prepare 10,000 sets for me, the kind of dark horizontal knife in their hands, give me 10,000 so-so, by the way, there are bows and crossbows, I want 20,000 pieces, and 1 million arrows!" ”

Chen Ying was taken aback when he heard this number. He originally thought that the Hou Mo Chen clan had declined, but he never thought that the Hou Mo Chen clan would have such a strong strength in Lingnan.

These supplies are armed with at least 50,000 horses.

Could it be that the Hou Mo Chen clan still has more than 50,000 people in Lingnan?
