Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Zheng Guanyin was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect Ma Zhou to open his business to Henan and the headquarters of the Zheng family in Xingyang.But this business has so much money in the first place, once Chen Ying's firm enters strongly, the Zheng family really has no ability to resist.Once Chen Ying's business name is allowed to appear in Zheng's land, I am afraid that Zheng will suffer heavy losses.She was just about to open her mouth to refuse, but then she thought that Chen Ying is now the biggest reliance of the East Palace, and what Ma Zhou meant was probably what Chen Ying meant.She can't decide about the Zheng family's affairs?Then he thought about the benefits of agreeing to Ma Zhou.

Although the Zheng family will lose some money and food, the East Palace will account for [-]% of the income. Zheng Guanyin only thought for a moment and made up his mind: "This Palace will find a way, you just go back!"

Ma Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this.

……

There is a river depression on the bank of the Jianhe River. The area here is about [-] to [-] mu. Of course, this is one of the few large wastelands in Xin'an County. Due to the low-lying terrain here, in ten years, For seven or eight years, it will be flooded by the Jianhe River.

Therefore, although it is close to the water source and convenient for irrigation, it is abandoned because the terrain is too low and is often flooded.When Chen Ying saw this piece of wasteland, he felt very speechless.

This is simply like picking up a treasure in the antique market of later generations.But the people who were resettled here were also unwilling. If the government hadn't given them land for free and helped them build houses, it is estimated that all these refugees would run away overnight.

An old farmer really couldn't see it, and was afraid that Chen Ying would waste the precious seeds here, so he mustered up his courage and persuaded: "My young gentleman, the land here cannot be planted, you must have been deceived by others, I am People from Shengchi have heard of this place a long time ago, and there will be nine shortages in ten years..."

Chen Ying laughed loudly: "Who told you that you can't grow crops here?"

When it comes to professional matters, the old farmer feels that it is necessary to let Chen Ying understand that farming is not something that their sons and grandsons can handle.The attitude of the old farmer is very persistent: "If you don't grow well, you will be flooded if you plant it. Not to mention the effort, and the seeds will be wasted. You can't grow millet, millet, wheat, bean, or hemp."

Chen Yingdao: "Then why don't you grow rice?"

The old farmer looked at Chen Ying like a fool: "How is it possible to grow rice in Henan?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "It should be possible to grow rice, absolutely!"

Chen Ying vaguely remembered that in later generations, he had a client from Henan who gave him two bags of Duliang rice.Chen Ying remembered very clearly that Du Liang was a township in Kaifeng County, not to mention that Xinyang rice was also very famous in later generations.It can be seen that the climate in Henan can grow rice.

The old farmer shook his head and said, "No..."

Chen Ying said resolutely: "Listen to me, just plant rice, and I'll ask you to buy seeds for you."

At this moment, at least 30 or [-] people around the old farmer knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to Chen Ying, and begged in one voice: "Mr. Lang, you can do it!"

"Lang Jun, you should pity us poor people!"

"There is no way to grow rice here, this is the rule left by the ancestors..."

"Lang Jun, please show mercy!"

"Little old man kowtowed to you, please let us go!"

……

Hearing this, Chen Ying felt inexplicable.It was as if he had done something outrageous.Chen Ying had to sigh: "The old rules kill people.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Finally, in desperation, Chen Ying bought 780 mu of low-lying paddy fields in Jianhe in his own name. In this small village, 49 households and more than 260 people became Chen Ying's tenants.

It was only when Chen Ying became the owner of the place that he assigned the task of planting rice.

Chen Ying took Wang Wei, the magistrate of Xin'an County, and Liu Jingzhong, the former governor of Henan County, to inspect each settlement.If it is in other places in the Central Plains, it will not be difficult at all to resettle tens of thousands of refugees.However, in the hilly area of ​​western Henan, it is really difficult to resettle tens of thousands of refugees.

In the small basin in the middle of the hilly area, as long as the land that can be reclaimed is basically reclaimed, it has already been reclaimed.Now that the spring plowing is just around the corner, Chen Ying is also secretly worried.Originally, he thought about using the barren hills to cultivate terraced fields.It was only after the on-the-spot investigation that Chen Ying discovered that his thinking was too simple.

Shi Liu Jingzhong, governor of Henan County, pointed to a gentle slope and told Chen Ying: "The soil here is good, and you can build a ladder. However, the rain here in Xin'an is very heavy during the rainy season. Soil is definitely not good. If you use soil, I'm afraid it won't be able to last two rains. Definitely." To pile stones, start from the hillside of the hill, at least three hundred and forty feet away, and two feet high. Even if you use stones, you have to drive large wooden piles to the bottom and use huge stones to press the bottom. This project is too big I'm afraid it will be very difficult for Henan County to come forward to host, if you want to rely on the power of a village..."

This is Chen Ying's first field trip, and the more he thinks about it, the more he backs down. To build a small terraced field on this hill will cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Just when Chen Ying was thinking about whether to apply to Li Jiancheng or Li Yuan to transport these refugees to Guanzhong and disperse them in various counties in Guanzhong, suddenly a small official in green official uniform bowed and cupped his hands: "No, no, No, it’s not as difficult as you imagined by Liu Changshi. There are two ways to build terraced fields, one is to build high platforms to fix the soil, and the other is to plant hedges!”

Chen Ying raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Zhili?"

Chen Ying naturally knows what hedges mean. Any shrubs or small trees that are planted in a single or double row and closely combined with regular planting forms are called hedgerows, also known as hedgerows, hedgerows, etc. .It is a landscaping technique often used in European gardens, one of the three major gardens in the world.Because of the selected tree species, it can be trimmed into various shapes and combined with each other, thereby improving the ornamental effect and artistic value.In addition, the hedge can also play the role of covering bad viewpoints, isolating protection, preventing dust and noise, and guiding tourists to watch routes.

Of course, artificially planted hedgerows can be spread all over the corners of any city in later generations.

The little official in Tsing Yi explained very seriously: "Building a high platform and a solid structure is of course very effective, but the cost is too high, and the gain is not worth the loss. If you build a [-]-acre Gundam, you must invest at least [-] guan."

Chen Ying nodded frequently.

It's just that Liu Jingzhong's complexion was obviously unkind, and he looked at Wang Wei with sharp eyes.Wang Wei also had a wry smile on his face. This ninth-rank official was none other than Bo, the head of Xin'an County.According to the system, Xin'an County belongs to Zhongxian County, and the most inferior should be Congbapin, or Zhengbapin.But this Xu Cangshan's background is too shabby.

Xu Cangshan's mother, a female prisoner in Xin'an County Prison.In ancient times, female prisoners would be sentenced to prison for adultery, and if the punishment was heavier, they would even be sentenced to official kilns as prostitutes.Because of Xu Cangshan's upright appearance, the female prison's caretaker, together with the bustard in the Luoyang brothel, often forced the female prisoner to sleep.Naturally, Xu's mother could not escape bad luck.Later, Xu's mother became pregnant, but she didn't know who Xu Cangshan's real father was.

But when Xu Cangshan was nine years old, his mother died of illness.He was adopted as an adopted son by Xu Dayan, an old bachelor of the jailer.Xu Cangshan then changed his surname to Xu.Later, when Xu Cangshan was 15 years old, he replaced Xu Dayan as the jailer of Xin'an County. There were rumors that Xu Cangshan was promoted to the Ninth Rank Master Bo after following the path of the former county magistrate Gao Yazhi.

However, Wang Wei smiled wryly at this time, because he found that Chen Ying looked at Xu Cangshan very pleasing to the eye, and before Wang Wei opened his mouth to reprimand Xu Cangshan to retreat, he saw Chen Ying staring at him with a murderous look, which scared him Swallow the words in your mouth into your stomach.

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

Xu Cangshan said: "Reporting to Chen Anfu, Xiaguan was poor when he was young, and his family only had seven or eight acres of Susukida at the foot of Qingyang Mountain. During the rainy season, mountain floods would invade the few acres of Susukida in my family. The seven or eight mu of Susukida has become even less. I have carefully studied the method of building a high platform with stones to fix the soil. The family of the lower official has no money and no manpower to build it. Later, I planted a circle of fences on the edge of the field. , Later, the soil washed down from the mountain will be blocked in front of the fence, and the mud on the fence will be flat, so the field will not be small, but will gradually grow larger as the silt increases..."

Chen Ying was overjoyed when he heard the words. He was worried that he could not find a way to build terraced fields. If he used Xu Cangshan's method, he could save both money and trouble.The most indispensable thing in the hilly areas of Henan County is bushes. As long as some are transplanted, fences can be built in a short period of time to hold 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 in the East Palace and the left and right siyu to garrison Henan to defend against Zheng's invasion, and also to appease Henan and resettle tens of thousands of refugees. The only thing that is lacking is manpower. You may think that the work is trivial ?”

Xu Cangshan was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Cangshan was born in a poor family. He grew up eating a lot of food. He didn't dare to hope for prosperity. He only hoped to be able to be loved by his fellow villagers before he died."

Chen Ying said: "The king is the one who issues orders; the minister is the one who carries out the king's orders to serve the people; the people is the one who produces corn, hemp, silk, utensils, currency, and serves the superior. Heroes don't ask." I don’t have much to gain in this battle, but it’s not difficult to exchange thirty or fifty heads for a military cavalry officer. You just need to appease Ben, resettle hundreds of thousands of refugees in Henan, and lead them Build terraced fields, and in the future we will be Marquis of Baili and Marquis of Qianli."

……

While Chen Ying was busy resettling the refugees, Hou Mo and Chen Xu also came to Xin'an with their servants in light clothes.Hou Mo and Chen Xu searched for Chen Ying in the crowd, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.In fact, when he looked at Liu Jingzhong, he felt that Liu Jingzhong was elegant and handsome, as if he stood out from the crowd.But Liu Jingzhong was too young to be good at all.

Hou Mo and Chen Xu asked doubtfully, "Could it be that Fifth Brother isn't here?"

The servant suddenly pointed at Chen Ying and said happily, "Mr. Wulang is in front!"

From Hou Mo and Chen Xu's point of view, Chen Ying was standing in front of a campfire in a short-fronted Tsing Yi with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and was giving orders. He frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with other people's work. He picked up a branch, and even wrote instructions with gestures, and only asked others to understand his intentions before letting them do things.

Chen Ying is much younger than imagined; now Chen Ying has just passed the weak year, but his deeds and prestige will give others the illusion.Even at such a young age, he was still wearing civilian clothes and straw sandals, but the way he told others to listen carefully made him look very authoritative, and the seven or eight armored soldiers guarding him made him dignified.

Hou Mo and Chen Xu noticed that someone next to him mentioned that Chen Ying should look this way. At the same time, Zhou Qing, Guo Luo, Ashina Simo and Shan Xiongxin beside Chen Ying surrounded Hou Mo and Chen Xu in a fan shape. Come.

Hou Mo and Chen Xu hurriedly bowed to salute, reported their family name, and said: "Hou Mo and Chen Xu pay homage to Fifth Brother..."

Chen Ying asked suspiciously: "Hou Mo Chen Xu?"

Guo Luo murmured: "Hou Mo Chen Xu, Hou Mo Chen Xu?"

Suddenly, Guo Luo suddenly realized: "Are you the seventh son of Lingnan?"

Hou Mo and Chen Xu nodded: "Not bad!"

"Let's go in so we can 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.The Hou Mo Chen family in Lingshan should be the son of Hou Mo Chen Rui and Hou Mo Chen Ying when they married Lingnan.Chen Ying knew that Li Yuan was afraid of the Hou Mo Chen family. At this time, Lingnan did not belong to the Tang Dynasty, and he did not think about letting the Lingnan Hou Mo Chen family come into Li Yuan's sight so early.
