Chapter 408: Ye Hua, the Bold Employer

A veteran who had retired from the army and returned to the field to grow flowers was so interesting that it immediately aroused Ye Hua's curiosity. Of course, what really made him care about was the mouth of the garden. After all, this place is known to everyone in the future... Ye Hua was not sure whether there would be an amazing coincidence, but he did not dare to relax at all, not to mention that he had too few talents to use, so he could not let one go!

Murong Deye is not a good person who speaks, and he blushs at any time, but Ye Hua asked indirectly and asked a lot of things... It turns out that the Murong family is really a general of generations. Murong Yanzhao's father is Murong Zhang. Their ancestors can even trace back to the Yan Xianbei Murong family in the 16 Kingdoms period... It is really a wealthy family that has been around for hundreds of years, extraordinary.

But two names flashed through Ye Hua's mind, "Murong Fu, Murong Bo", grandma, isn't this the legendary Gusu Murong family?

It’s true that the old man, Mr. Yeong, did create this Murong family, but the real Murong family never thought about restoring the short-lived Dayan Kingdom hundreds of years ago. Not only did they not have any ill-behaved, but on the contrary, they were also loyal. Speaking of which, the Murong family restored the country, Pan Mei harmed Yang Ye, and Wu Dalang, and his wife were both incompatible, and they were also called the "three strange injustices" created by literati!

Murong Yanzhao was born into a general and later followed Guo Wei. After Guo Wei became emperor, he served as the tribute official in the west.

Murong Yanzhao was considered a late-achieving person. He was not valued in the early stage. Until Gaoping fought, he made great achievements. Chai Rong promoted him to serve as the deputy chief inspector and became Zhao Kuangyin's deputy. Later, he conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, pacified Jingxiang, assisted Zhao Da and yellow robe. He made great contributions and became a founding official of the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhao Da regarded him as his brother and respected him very much.

Of course, some people say that they were brothers who grew up together and their friendship was extraordinary, which was nonsense, because Murong Yanzhao was fourteen years older than Zhao Kuangyin. Murong died just a few years after the Northern Song Dynasty was established, which made Zhao Da very sad and posthumously named the Prince of Henan to show his grief.

The Murong family has emerged in many talented people, with a wealthy family, but no one rebelled, and no one was thinking about restoring the country... This is the Murong family in history, but when Ye Hua appeared, the situation changed...

For example, after Guo Wei ascended the throne, he emphasized the restoration of the Han family, so as to encourage the infamy of his ministers to kill the king and win people's hearts.

Since the Han family was restored, Murong Yanzhao's ancestors were Xianbei people, so he was naturally excluded. In addition, the new army was trained and the original imperial guards were constantly being laid off, so Murong Yanzhao sat on the bench.

Unlike other dissatisfied people, Murong Yanzhao realized that there was no hope in his career, so he took the initiative to resign and retreated to the forest. His hometown was in Taiyuan Prefecture, and now it was occupied by Liu Chong, so Murong Yanzhao moved to his noble family near Zhengzhou to live.

Although he has a good background, Murong Yanzhao has no money at hand, and can even be said to be very poor, with only 200 acres of land rewarded by the court.

The Murong family has a large population, and there are only six or seven children who are not adults. It is under a lot of pressure to support their family.

Murong Yanzhao thought that farming alone was not enough to spend. When his family was still prosperous when he was a child, there was an old gardener who specialized in taking care of various flowers. Murong Yanzhao learned a lot of experience with him.

Now that I have to leave my armor and return to the fields and grow flowers to make a living, it is also a wonderful thing.

Murong Yanzhao took out twenty acres of land and planted flowers.

Someone wants to ask, can you make money by planting flowers?

Asking such questions only means that you underestimate the ancients' pursuit of quality of life.

Two hundred miles west from your family, it is Luoyang.

Since the Sui Dynasty, Luoyang has planted and cultivated peonies. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Luoyang peonies were even more famous all over the world. Every time the flowers bloom, there are unparalleled tourists and poets, and the sea of ​​flowers are crowded.

Although the war weakened the charm of peony, it did not cut off its inheritance.

As the Central Plains restored peace, all industries flourished, merchants exchanged, and precious flowers and trees were favored again.

Not only do wealthy families like it, but even citizens who live well are willing to place two pots of flowers at home during the Chinese New Year to add a festive atmosphere.

Murong Yanzhao's vision was really vicious. In the winter of the first year, he sold 300 trump cards, which was more than ten times more than growing grain.

In the second year, his flowers were not only sold to Zhengzhou, but also to nearby Huaizhou, Mengzhou, and even Kaifeng... and made thousands of volts.

Murong Yanzhao simply built a large garden at home and built a small bridge and flowing water to attract the people around him to come and enjoy. Some vendors took the opportunity to set up stalls and do business, but it turned into a market again.

Because it is in front of Murong’s Garden, people simply call this area "Gardenkou".

Ye Hua was surprised to hear Murong Deye’s introduction.

"I really didn't expect that Ling Zun was still a elegant man. I couldn't compare to my family. My grandmother shoveled the garden and planted vegetables!"

After talking about some things, Murong Deye was less restrained. He smiled and said, "My father said that if you don't seek fame and fortune, you don't seek wealth. If you are prosperous, you will benefit the world. If you are poor, you will be safe. The fragrant grass in the peach garden is far away from the temple, and you will have some fun."

Ye Hua smiled, "I am worthy of being a general of generations, and I am very tactful and elegant, so I am indeed extraordinary... By the way, how could you join the army?"

"this……"

Murong Deye's face turned red in an instant, and he could just say something. My father had been an official and had experienced it. He went home to plant flowers and live a stable life.

These young people have never experienced it.

Since childhood, he has practiced martial arts, memorized poetry and prose, and learned a lot of skills. Who can stand it?

Murong Deye is the eldest son of the Murong family and consciously has the important task of revitalizing the door. He told his father several times that he would go to join the army, but Murong Yanzhao refused.

After all, the Murong family is a Xianbei person and may not trust it in the army. Instead of being looked down upon by others, it is better to be happy and free.

But Murong Deye doesn’t think so. How can he judge success or failure if he comes from a background? What if he doesn’t try it!

The father and son quarreled several times about this, but in the end Murong Yanzhao had no choice. He told his son that you can go to join the army, but don’t think I will help you!

Murong Deye has a tough temper. If he doesn’t help, he won’t help, and I will succeed!

When he arrived at Zhaoyi Army, he really started as a big-headed soldier.

However, after joining the army, Murong Deye calmed down and had to admit that what his father was right. There was no promotion of noble people and no chance. It was too difficult for an ordinary soldier to make a name for himself.

He joined the army for more than half a year and was actually sent to see the granary. He was treated as a civilian. I don’t know when he would have the chance to make a contribution?

Murong Deye was so worried that he couldn't sleep. Who knew that the opportunity really came?

Liu Jichong rebelled, Murong Deye made contributions to protecting the granary and was recognized by the soldiers. Now he is standing in front of the champion Hou, everything makes the shy big boy a little dizzy and at a loss.

Just because he was restrained, Ye Hua dared to say that the Murong family had no intention of restoring the country!

"By the way, how long will Lingzun move to Huayuankou? Are you familiar with the situation along the Yellow River?"

"It's been more than three years. In the first two years, I helped my family sell flowers. I went to Luoyang, Mengzhou, Huaizhou, Zhengzhou, and Tokyo Kaifeng. After joining the army, I went to Weizhou, Cizhou, and Huazhou one after another. I know a little bit!"

Ye Hua smiled, "I don't know a little about this, I'm obviously confident!"

Unexpectedly, God gave himself a treasure.

"You follow me."

Ye Hua called Murong Deye to the Shuai Tiao and placed a map along the Yellow River on the table.

"I ask you, if someone wants to dig the Yellow River, where is the best place to start?"

"ah!"

Murong Deye was so scared that he exclaimed, "Marty, who would be so crazy? How dare you dig the Yellow River? That would die in countless people!" His eyes were full of fear. He still remembered that when he moved to Guijia, there was a heavy rain. With only a small hole, one and a half of the county were flooded. More than 100,000 people left their hometowns, which was extremely miserable... If the embankment was dug, I wonder how many people would lose their lives!

"That's right. I predict that someone wants to use the Yellow River to attack, so just from a military perspective, how to do it to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Just say it!"

Murong Deye tried to calm down. In the past, he didn't even dare to have such thoughts. It would be too crazy to dig the Yellow River and would be punished by God!

But since the Marquis asked, he had to close his eyes and think hard.

After a while, Murong Deye slowly opened his eyes, and his fingers fell to the entrance of Guijia Garden north of Zhengzhou!

"It's here!"

Ye Hua frowned, "Why?"

"The reason is very simple. The Yellow River exits from Luoyang east, and the terrain is suddenly flat, silted, and the riverbed is far higher than the surrounding ground. In addition, it has been disrepair and the river embankment is steep everywhere. If the Yellow River is dug in this area and the river water is raging, it will first destroy Zhengzhou, then go south along the Bian River, impact the capital, and even go south to seize the Huai River, forming a yellow flood area that stretches for thousands of miles. The essence of our Great Zhou, millions of creatures, are all under the threat of the river water!"

When Murong Deye said this, his face was pale and his hands were trembling unconsciously.

Ye Hua's face became more and more serious, "Is this what you think?"

"It's my opinion, but it's my father's opinion! My father once said that generals must be proficient in astronomy, geography, mountains, rivers and waterways. If you are not careful, you will be defeated and killed. He told me that the silt of the Yellow River has become a big problem, but others are slight and have retreated to the forest. There is no way to do anything. Only by staring at the river day and night, if there is any change, can you remind the villagers and inform the court to prepare early, which is the little effort he can make for the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Ye Hua took a deep breath, "The veteran general has a noble heart, which is admirable!"

Ye Hua walked around the big tent twice and immediately said, "I appoint you as the general of Zhaoyi Army, and immediately lead a thousand troops to the entrance of the garden."

"The last general will receive the order!" Murong Deye agreed immediately.
