Chapter 54 Baiyun City

Xiangyang has been a transportation fortress since ancient times. It is known as "ships from the south to the horses from the north, and the thoroughfare to the seven provinces". It has been a channel for north-south trade and cultural exchanges since ancient times.

The geographical position is superior and the transportation is convenient.

Xiangyang borders Sichuan and Shaanxi in the west, Jianghan in the east, Hunan and Guangdong in the south, and reaches the Central Plains in the north.

There is a valley dozens of miles away from Xiangyang City.

The air in the valley is a little humid and stuffy.

The surroundings are very quiet, the woods are dead and silent, there is no sound of insects and birds, and the strange snake hidden behind the leaves, trunks and dead branches is spitting out a message, waiting for the arrival of its prey.

After passing through the woods, there is a patch of rocks and grass, and after walking seven or eight miles lower and lower from this twisting and turning grass, you can enter a deep valley.

The surrounding area was bare and barren of grass. The strong wind blew suddenly and violently, lifting the clouds and mist surrounding the valley, revealing a huge valley ahead.

This large valley is as large as several hectares, and there is a cliff near the west. The big stone here is like a platform, engraved with two big characters "Sword Tomb".

At the foot of the cliff, the trees are green and the mountain air is beautiful. Rows of houses stand side by side, hidden in the woods, looming.

Since Chen Hengzhi decided to move, he made immediate preparations.

First, the servants in the villa were summoned, leaving only one guard, and the rest were dismissed.

Afterwards, Chen Hengzhi, Huang Yaoshi, and Yang Guo packed their valuables and headed to Xiangyang lightly.

Yang Guo sent out all the little thieves along the way, while Chen Hengzhi and Huang Yaoshi watched from the sidelines, and only rescued him when they were invincible.

Half a month later, he came to Xiangyang on Jinghu Road. Not to mention, Yang Guo's shooting experience has gradually increased, and his internal strength has also increased a lot, and he has opened up another meridian.

Sure enough, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and you can't make a real master by working behind closed doors.

After arriving in Xiangyang City, Chen Hengzhi first rented a yard and settled down. In the next half month, the three of them inspected the surrounding area for hundreds of miles. Finally, they came to the secluded place where Dugu Qiufeng lived - Jianzhong.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there are cliffs in the west, small rivers and waterfalls in the south, mountains and forests in the north, and the exit in the east. It is an excellent hiding place.

After returning to the city, Chen Hengzhi, Huang Yaoshi, and Yang Guo carried out large-scale construction projects, leveled the valley behind the sword tomb, built houses, and placed organs and formations.

Don't get me wrong, it's not the formations in the world of Xianxia, ​​Chen Hengzhi doesn't have this ability, but the formations of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams and Qimen Dunjia created by Huang Yaoshi.

After all this work, it was already the winter of Song Lizong, Zhao Yun and Jiaxi's fourth year.

This year, Yang Guo was 14 years old, Guo Jing was 35 years old, Huang Rong was 32 years old, Huang Yaoshi was over 80 years old, Hong Qigong, Yideng and Ouyang Feng were almost [-] years old.

This year, the Mongolian expedition to the west also killed a lot in Central Asia.

Six years have passed since the Kingdom of Jin fell.

There are still about seven or eight years before the Mongolian small-scale invasion southward, and nearly 17 years before the large-scale invasion southward.

There are still 39 years until the Southern Song Dynasty is destroyed.

This winter, the gossip that a valley outside Xiangyang City recruited refugees wantonly spread quietly throughout the entire surrounding area of ​​Xiangyang City, and spread to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed.

After accepting the money bribe from Chen Hengzhi, the Fu Yin, the military supervisor and other court officials in Xiangyang City turned a deaf ear to this matter, as if nothing had happened.

In recent years, due to natural and man-made disasters, corrupt officials, land annexation, etc., refugees are everywhere.

Crowds of refugees poured into Xiangyang, to be precise, Jianzhong Valley, more than [-] miles away from Xiangyang City.

For these refugees, Chen Hengzhi never refused.

However, being taken in does not mean that they can sit back and relax. The refugees have to work hard in exchange for all the materials they need for life.

At the same time, strict management is in place, and anyone who dares to commit a series of illegal acts such as stealing, robbing, and gathering crowds to make trouble will be killed.

After Chen Hengzhi took action and beheaded a group of refugees looting food, the remaining refugees calmed down.

Cultivate wasteland, open furnaces and build factories, form guards, form caravans, build schools, a series of actions are slowly unfolding.

Land reclamation is for farming and self-sufficiency.

The purpose of opening the furnace is to burn glass, smelt cement, and gunpowder.

The guard is the prototype of the army.

The purpose of the caravan is to sell the fired glass handicrafts and high-end mirrors in exchange for money, food and other materials.

The school was built to train grass-roots officials of the army in the future.

…………

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed, and it is already the spring of the third year of Lizong Chunyou (1240 AD).

The Jianzhong Valley, which was originally desolate and uninhabited, has changed drastically.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see a huge city standing under the cliff.

On the east side of the city wall is a city wall made of cement. This section of the city wall is two feet wide, ten feet high, and more than ten miles long.

In the center of the city wall is a huge city gate. Above the city gate, there is a plaque with three large characters written in iron and silver hooks: Baiyun City.

In the Walled City, the most conspicuous thing is a large square, which is several acres in size, surrounding the square and surrounded by rows of houses.

Close to the south, there are patches of good fields and fertile land, and the green crops in the fields are fluttering with the spring breeze.

Near the foot of the mountain forest to the north, there are factory buildings, and the towering chimneys are spewing out circles of smoke.

The City Lord's Mansion stands in the center of the entire city.

At this time, a regular meeting is being held in the City Lord's Mansion.

City guard Huang Yaoshi made a report: "Since the beginning of spring, a total of 6154 mu of fields in the city have been sown with grain seeds, an increase of about [-]% compared to last year.

The caravan left the Walled City in early February, bringing about 20 pieces of glass goods, and it is expected to bring back [-] guan and [-] catties of grain and daily necessities in the middle of the year.

The population of the Walled City has exceeded 1000 at the end of February this year, and the number of guards has remained at around [-]. Excluding the labor force, there are [-] old people and children who cannot work in the Walled City..."

Chen Hengzhi listened carefully to his report, while asking about some unclear points from time to time.

After Huang Yaoshi finished speaking, Chen Hengzhi had a good idea of ​​the whole city, and couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, Huang Yaoshi was pulled into the chariot, and it was much easier to have him as the city guard to manage the internal affairs.

Chen Hengzhi looked at the guard captain Yang Guo and asked, "Yang Guo, please report the specific situation of the guard team."

"Yes, City Lord."

Yang Guo stood up and replied: "There are 1027 brothers in the entire guard, among which 797 are third-rate martial arts, 224 are second-rate, and 5 are first-rate.

For this caravan trip, four first-rate brothers led a hundred second-rate masters to escort the darts.

As of now, the guards are still recruiting.

Anyone who meets the regulations can join the escort..."
