Chapter 157 The true strength of Hou Mo Chen

In the end, Chen Ying had no choice but to buy 1,780 acres of low-lying paddy fields in Jianhe in his personal name. This small village had 49 households and more than 260 people, and all became Chen Ying's tenants.

Only when Chen Ying became the master of this time did he arrange the task of planting rice.

Chen Ying took Wang Wei, the magistrate of Xin'an County, and Liu Jingzhong, the former chief of Henan County, to inspect one settlement and another. If it was in other parts of the Central Plains, it would be difficult to resettle tens of thousands of refugees. However, in the hilly area of ​​western Henan, it would be very 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 has basically been reclaimed. Now that the spring plowing is approaching, Chen Ying is also secretly anxious. He originally thought about using the barren hills to reclaim terraces. However, after the on-site inspection, Chen Ying realized that he was thinking too simply.

Liu Jingzhong, the chief 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 Xin'an is very strong in the rainy season, so it is definitely not possible to use soil. If you use soil, you may not even be able to hold on to two rains. You must definitely pile up stones. Starting from the hillside, you must build at least 34 meters away and two meters high stones. Even if you use stones, you have to build large wooden stakes at the bottom and use huge stones to press the bottom. This project is too big, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Henan County to come forward to preside over it. If you want to rely on the power of a village..."

This is the first time Chen Ying made an on-site inspection. The more he thought about it, the more he felt he was more relieved. Building a small terrace on this hill cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Just as Chen Ying was thinking about whether he wanted to apply to Li Jiancheng or Li Yuan to send these refugees to Guanzhong and scattered in various counties in Guanzhong to resettle, suddenly a ninth-rank official in the blue official uniform bowed and said, "No, no, no, it is not as difficult as Liu Changshi as you imagined. There are two ideas for building terraces: one is to build high platforms to consolidate soil, and the other is to plant fences!"

Chen Ying raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Planting the hedge?"

Chen Ying naturally knew what it means to plant hedges. Any planting form that is closely planted by shrubs or small trees at close range, planted into single or double rows, is closely combined is called hedges, also called hedges, hedges, etc. The landscaping technique is often used in European gardens, one of the three major gardens in the world. Because of the choice of tree species, it can be pruned into various shapes and can be combined with each other, thus improving the ornamental effect and artistic value. In addition, hedges can also cover bad viewpoints, isolate and protect, prevent dust and noise, and guide tourists to viewing routes.

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

The Qingyi Xiaojian explained very seriously: "Building a high platform is of great effect, but the cost is too high, and the gain is not worth the loss. If you build a 500-acre kilogram, you will invest at least 20,000 jin."

Chen Ying nodded frequently.

However, Liu Jingzhong's face was obviously bad, and he looked at Wang Wei with sharp eyes. Wang Wei also smiled bitterly. This ninth-rank official is the lord of Xin'an County. According to the system, Xin'an County belongs to Zhongxian, and the lord of the lord should be from the eighth rank or the eighth rank. But Xu Cangshan's origin is too shabby.

Xu Cangshan's mother was a female prisoner in Xin'an County. In ancient times, female prisoners were sentenced to prison for tragedy. The crime was even more severe, and they were even sentenced to an official kiln as a prostitute. Because of her appearance, Xu Cangshan was taken care of by the female prisoner and, together with the brothels in the brothels in Luoyang, often forced the female prisoner to serve in bed. Xu's mother naturally could not escape the 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 and was adopted by the jailer bachelor Xu Dayan as her adopted son. Xu Cangshan immediately changed his surname to Xu. Later, when Xu Cangshan was fifteen years old, he replaced Xu Dayan as the prison in Xin'an County. There are rumors that Xu Cangshan took the path of the former county magistrate Gao Yazhi and was promoted to the ninth rank master.

However, Wang Wei was not only smiling bitterly at this time, because he found that Chen Ying was very pleasing to Xu Cangshan. Before Wang Wei opened his mouth to scold Xu Cangshan to retreat, he saw Chen Ying staring at him with murderous intent, which scared him to swallow the words from his mouth.

Chen Ying looked at Xu Cangshan with a smile and said, "How did you know that planting a hedge can consolidate 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 thin fields at the foot of Qingyang Mountain. Whenever the rainy season, mountain floods would invade the few acres of thin fields in my family. Over the years, seven or eight acres of thin fields became even smaller. I had carefully studied the method of building stones and building high platforms to consolidate soil. Xiaguan's family had no money and no one built it. Later, I planted a circle of fences by the field. Later, the soil washed down at the foot of the mountain would be blocked in front of the fence. The mud in the fences was flattened, so the fields would not be missing. Instead, as the silt increases, it gradually grows larger..."

Chen Ying was overjoyed when he heard this. He was worried that he could not find a way to create terraces. If the method of Xu Cangshan was used, it would save money and trouble. The most unabashed thing in the hilly areas of Henan County was bushes. As long as some were transplanted, a series of barriers could be created in a very short time to consolidate the soil on the mountain, and at the same time, it could also ensure farmers' income.

Chen Ying said directly: "I led the left and right guards of the East Palace, and the left and right guards led the stationed in Henan to prevent the invasion of Zheng State, and to appease Henan, and to resettle tens of thousands of refugees. The only task of the task is short of manpower. Do you think the duty is minor?"

Xu Cangshan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Cangshan was born in a poor family and grew up eating a hundred families. He dared not expect to be successful. He just hoped to be able to benefit his fellow villagers before he died."

Chen Ying said: "The king is the one who gives orders; the minister is the people who do the king's orders and get to the people; the people are the one who makes corn, hemp silk, make utensils, and make money and serve the superiors. Heroes do not care about their origins, and I won not win many things in this battle, but it is not difficult to replace you with a military cavalry officer. You just need to appease me, place tens of thousands of refugees in Henan, and lead them to build terraces, and in the future, they will be the Marquis of Baili and Qianli. "

...

Just as Chen Ying was busy resettling refugees, Hou Mo and Chenxu also brought his servants to Xin'an with light clothes and simple clothes. Hou Mo and Chenxu were looking for Chen Ying in the crowd, but he couldn't find it after searching for him for a long time. In fact, when he looked at Liu Jingzhong, he felt that Liu Jingzhong was graceful and elegant, as if he stood out from the crowd. However, Liu Jingzhong was too young and could not match him at all.

Hou Mo Chenxu said in confusion: "Can the fifth brother not be here?"

The servant suddenly pointed at Chen Ying and said happily: "Jun Wulang is in front!"

In Hou Mo and Chenxu's opinion, Chen Ying was wearing a short-clad green dress, with his arms rolled up to his elbow and standing in front of a pile of campfires, and was telling things. He frowned, as if he was not very satisfied with other people's work. He squatted down and picked up a branch, and wrote and gestured to do things. He only asked others that he really understood his intention before he let others do things.

Chen Ying was much younger than he thought; now Chen Ying was just over the age of twentieth, but his actions and reputation would give others the illusion. Even though he was so young, he was still wearing cloth and straw sandals, but his instructions to others to listen carefully made him look very prestigious. Seven or eight armored military soldiers guarded him, which made him majestic.

Hou Mo and Chen Xu noticed that someone next to him mentioned Chen Ying looking here. At the same time, Zhou Qing, Guo Luo, Ashinasmo and Shan Xiongxin around Chen Ying were fanning and surrounded Hou Mo and Chen Xu.

Hou Mo Chenxu hurriedly bowed and bowed, and reported to his house, saying, "Hou Mo Chenxu met with the fifth brother..."

Chen Ying asked in confusion: "Hou Mo Chen Xu?"

Guo Luo murmured: "Hou Mo Chenxu, Hou Mo Chenxu?"

Suddenly, Guo Luo suddenly realized: "Are you the Seventh Young Master from Lingnan?"

Hou Mo Chenxu nodded: "Not bad!"

"Let's go in and speak..." Chen Ying listened to Guo Luo's meaning. This Hou Mo Chenxu 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 Chenrui and Hou Mo Chenying when they were compatible with Lingnan. Chen Ying knew that Li Yuan was afraid of Hou Mo Chen family. Lingnan did not belong to the Tang Dynasty at this time, and he did not think that he would let the Hou Mo Chen family in Lingnan enter Li Yuan's sight so early.

Chen Ying took Hou Mo and Chen Xu to a tent on the hillside. Because it was too simple, Chen Ying said embarrassedly: "This place is very simple, so you can only make the money."

"If you are thirsty, there will be cold boiled water here," Chen Ying took a wooden spoon and poured a bowl of cold boiled water into his stomach. He then said to Hou Mo Chenxu: "The spring land reclamation is urgent here, and I'm not polite to you, I don't know Xulang is here..."

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

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

To be honest, how could Chen Ying say about Hou Mo Chen's feelings? He was a little unfamiliar. He definitely did not have as much sense of honor and identity as Hou Mo Chen Qianhui and Hou Mo Chenxu. So even if he saw Hou Mo Chenxu and got from Guo Luo that this person was Hou Mo Chenqian's half-brother, Chen Ying was neither happy nor excited about meeting again after a long time. Chen Ying said in a plain tone: "I don't know Xu Lang!"

"Just call me Xiaoqi!" Hou Mo Chenxu was a little familiar. He imitated Chen Ying and smeared a wooden spoon and poured a bowl of cold boiled water into his stomach. Hou Mo Chenxu had a while before he said excitedly: "I have two things here. The first is to thank Brother Wu!"

Chen Ying felt a little strange and smiled slightly and said, "Thank you? I don't remember what I helped you?"

"Why didn't you help? The current reputation of the fifth brother is better than 100,000 soldiers!" Hou Mo Chenxu said: "Fifth brother is in Chang'an, and he is too far away. The old boy Feng Ang of Gaozhou relies on their 100,000 wolf soldiers in the Feng family, and he usually looks for trouble with our Hou Mo Chen family. Over the years, they have always been like annexing the Guizhou of our Hou Mo Chen family. If it weren't for the fifth brother's defeat of the Turks two years ago and beheaded tens of thousands of times, maybe I wouldn't have the 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. Because Feng Hong could not bear to surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty, 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 demise of Northern Yan, Feng Ye stayed in Panyu (now Guangzhou, Guangdong). When Feng Ye's grandson Feng Rong was in charge of Feng Rong, he served as the governor of Luozhou, Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. Feng Rong's son Feng Bao married Lady Xian, the daughter of the Xi family of the Yue clan in Gaoliang, Lingnan, as his wife, and became the leader of the Yue clan in Gaoliang.

Hou Mo Chenying and Hou Mo Chenrui were granted the title of Lingnan by Yang Guangliu. Relying on the three thousand tigers of Hou Mo Chen family, they worked hard in Lingnan, and finally defeated the Liao people and became the leader of the Liao people in the 13 Caves of the 17 Prefectures and 183 Villages of Lingnan.

The Yue people and the Liao people are one of the two indigenous ethnic groups in Lingnan, occupying most of the territory of Guangxi and Guangdong today.

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

"Thank you, let's forget it, who will follow us brothers!" Originally, Chen Ying just wanted to make some politeness, but who would have thought that Hou Mo and Chenxu were also the master of the snake-beating stick. One said this and said, "This is right. We are all brothers who have not yet produced the fifth session. The second thing I did here is to buy you a batch of equipment!"

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

Hou Mo Chenxu pointed to the armor on the body of the guards of Chen Ying outside the window and said, "Just prepare ten thousand sets of armor on them, the dark horizontal swords in their hands will give me ten thousand sloppy handles. By the way, there are also bows and crossbows. I want twenty thousand, and just one million arrows will be enough!"

Chen Ying was shocked when he heard this number. He originally thought that Hou Mo Chen had declined, but he never expected that Hou Mo Chen had such strong strength in Lingnan.

These materials armed at least 50,000 troops.

Could it be that Hou Mo Chen's family still has more than 50,000 troops in Lingnan?
