Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

"Ah!" Chen Ying said in surprise, "No way?"

"Those who don't have real estate have no perseverance. Your Majesty didn't set up a family business in Chang'an, and you are still alone now, how can you make Your Majesty feel at ease?" Xu Jingzong smiled lightly, looked into Chen Ying's eyes and said, "If you want to buy a property now, Mr. On the contrary, it is a good opportunity. Liu Wenjing's downfall, no family property registration, he has more than 270 pieces of good land under his name, and there are [-] pieces of mulberry fields. It's not difficult, but Susukita may not be able to make ends meet!"

"I didn't buy land to farm it."

"Not farming? Is it deserted?"

Chen Yingdao: "I'm going to open an iron workshop outside the city. If you don't have to farm, Susukida will do. Wasteland is the best, even barren hills are fine."

At the same time, Chen Ying rejected Li Yuan's position as secretary and junior supervisor on the grounds that he was seriously injured and unable to inspect. Officer of Honor.

And Xu Jingzong took Chen Ying's money to buy the land that Chen Ying needed.Chen Ying's land is actually really hard to buy. What Chen Ying needs is not a farm, and there is basically no land that is more than a thousand mu in one piece, and the land that is in one piece is basically in the hands of the big aristocrats and aristocratic families. , They will not sell land at all, this is not something that money can solve.

……

Su Hu, the county magistrate of Wannian, had his limbs broken by a group of black-clothed warriors at home a month and a half ago, and sent him Wanjin.It wasn't until these men in black revealed their identities that Su Hu knew that Chen Ying was actually the fifth son of Hou Mo's Chen family.

Su Hu did not dare to tell the truth to anyone, and claimed that it was Wang Huiye, the tomb robber he had uncovered three years ago, for revenge. The Ministry of Criminal Justice also issued a sea arrest document to arrest Wang Huiye.

Although Su Hu has been recuperating in bed these days, all the affairs of Wannian County have always been in Su Hu's hands.

It is said that Zhao Zhiyong, the prime minister of Wannian County, is Su Hu's confidant. Zhao Zhiyong was the son of Su Wei's personal companion Zhao Qingshan in his early years. When Su Wei was the former prime minister of Sui Dynasty, he supported Zhao Zhiyong as the prime minister of Wannian County. , Later Zhao Zhiyong mixed into the official post of Pingliang County Chief Shi, and Zhao Zhiyong gradually became the county magistrate of Wannian County from a small official in the private house book office of Wannian County.

However, Su Hu did not recommend Zhao Zhiyong as the acting magistrate of Wannian County, but instead recommended Bo Quan Wanji, the seventh-rank leader.Now Quan Wanji is the acting county magistrate of Wannian County, but Zhao Zhiyong treats Quan Wanji with raised eyebrows and eyes.It can be said that by taking advantage of the disagreement between Quan Wanji and Zhao Zhiyong, Su Hu can firmly control the affairs of Wannian County.

Just when it was getting dark, Zhao Zhiyong came to Su Hu's mansion in a carriage, and complained to Su Hu for nearly half an hour.

Su Hu listened quietly, her face still calm.

This made Zhao Zhiyong very strange. Normally, Su Hu should show Quan Wanji a little color, and let Quan Wanji know who is the Zhengxian County of Wannian County.

It's just that Zhao Zhiyong didn't know that Su Hu was already useless at this time.His injury may still be healed in future generations, but in this era, it is simply impossible.He just procrastinated as much as possible, and asked the court to give him a chance to support him when he couldn't procrastinate in the future.

Even though he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Su Hu's gourd, Zhao Zhiyong still muttered: "Master Su, you don't know that Duke Pengcheng found a waste doorman, and he actually wanted to buy thin land and wasteland."

As the saying goes, it sounds unintentional, but it sounds intentional. When Zhao Zhiyong said Chen Ying, Su Hu shivered subconsciously.

"What did you say?"

"Oh, the people from the Gongmen of Pengcheng County want to buy land. They are so hungry that they don't even spare wasteland!"

"Do you know what the Duke of Pengcheng bought the wasteland for?"

"It's ridiculous to hear that it is going to build an iron workshop. There is no iron ore near Chang'an. If you buy iron ore from other places to make iron, it will not be enough to protect your capital!" Zhao Zhiyong laughed softly: "What a fool!"

You don't sell woodcutters for hundreds of miles, and you don't sell chestnuts for thousands of miles.In ancient times, it was the golden rule of doing business, but it was actually limited by the transportation capacity.The closest iron mine to Chang'an should be Taolin County in Hongnong County, but the distance is more than [-] miles, nearly [-] miles. If you transport iron ore, even worthless iron ore, it will In Chang'an City, it costs between [-] and [-] renminbi per stone.

With this transportation cost and the cost of materials made in this era, if Chen Ying smelts iron in Chang'an, he will not make any money at all, but will lose everything.

But they don't know that Chen Ying uses blast furnace steelmaking, and with the successful invention of spring steel, Chen Ying can immediately manufacture a carriage that can carry more than two thousand catties. In this way, transportation costs can be reduced, and ironmaking The cost can be controlled within a gratifying range.

From Chen Ying's point of view, steel needs to be sold at [-] guan per ton, which is equivalent to [-] tons of grain for one ton of steel, and the huge profits are huge. If you don't make this money yourself, you are committing a crime.

When Su Hu heard that Chen Ying wanted to buy wasteland to build a workshop, he asked Zhao Zhiyong, "Do you remember that there is still a wasteland in Qinglin?"

"The county lord is talking about the mass grave in the forest? It's just that it's a very dangerous place!"

At this moment, Su Hu nodded with the only head that could move in his whole body and said: "The big murderer? Duke Pengcheng killed tens of thousands of Turkic people at once, and killed people's heads rolling in Hedong. Can he be more fierce than him?"

Zhao Zhiyong seemed to suddenly realize: "Your official knows what to do!"

Chapter 11 In the case of governance, the official will be in chaos, but in hiding

Chapter 11 In the case of governance, the official will be in chaos, but in hiding

With the establishment of the Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong, with the passage of time, especially the great victory in Hedong.The price of land in Guanzhong has also risen with the tide. The good land that used to be [-] to [-] yuan per mu has now soared to [-] yuan per mu, and there is no market for it.

Chen Ying only has the land that was given to him, but these lands are far away in Pengcheng. Pengcheng now only belongs to Datang in name, and Chen Ying only has [-] mu of land in name, but he only has one grain of grain for the [-] mu of land.

However, Chen used 2000 million yuan to buy [-] mu of land located at the eastern foot of Jiangjunmao Mountain, east of Bahe River, and just one step away from Kuyu River, the boundary line with Lantian County, which became a laughing stock in Chang'an noble circles.

Although Qinglinli is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, it is closer to Lantian County. It is sixty miles west of Chang'an City. In this era, it takes two hours to travel sixty miles even by horse-drawn carriage.Of course, this is not a thin field, on the contrary, this land is sandwiched between the Bahe River and the Yu River, which is convenient for irrigation and is a good fertile field.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this is a big murderous place.This piece of Xuntian originally belonged to Hou Longen of the Shanggu Hou family.Brothers Hou Longen, Hou Wanshou and his younger brother Hou Zhi all took refuge in Yuwenhu and became Yuwenhu's minions, and the Shanggu Hou family skyrocketed.Hou Longen was granted the title of Zhu Kingdom and Duke Ping Gao.So he gave this land to Hou Longen as his Xuntian.

At that time ([-] A.D.), Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenyong, first killed Yu Wenhu with a plan, and ordered the arrest of Yu Wenhu's son Zhuguo Tan Gong Yu Wenhui, the general Ju Gong Yu Wenzhi, Chongye Gong Yu Wen Jing, and Zhengping Gong Yu Wen. Qianjia, and his younger brothers Yuwen Ganji, Yuwen Qianguang, Yuwen Qianwei, Yuwen Ganzu, Yuwen Ganwei, and Hou Longen from the north of Zhuguo, Hou Longen's younger brother Hou Wanshou, the general Liu Yong, and the Chinese and foreign officials Recorded Yin Gongyi, Yuan Jie, Li An, a doctor under the food department, and others, and Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, eradicated Yu Wenhu's party and made great achievements.

This land was awarded to Yu Wenzhi, the great hero who helped Yu Wenhu eradicate Yuwen Hu. He never thought that two years later, Yu Wenzhi rebelled and was executed by Yu Wenyong. General, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Jing Zhaoyin, Dongping County Gong Yuwen Shenju's Xuntian.Yuwen Shenju once accompanied Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to conquer the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Turks in the Northern Expedition, suppressed the rebellion, pacified Jihu, and made Jihu return to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.Later, he was granted death in Mayi by Yu Wenyun, Emperor Xuandi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, at the age of 48.

Within nine years, the owner changed three times, and the three owners lost their families one after another. This land gradually became jealous, and some people did not believe in evil. That was Shi Wansui, one of the four nobles in the early Sui Dynasty. Shi Wansui passed by this wasteland one day. , Surprised and asked the subordinate: "The land here is good. There is Bahe River in the west and Jieyu River in the east. Irrigation is convenient. Looking at the growth of weeds here, the fertility should be good. In the place near Chang'an, where every inch of land is so precious, why is it so expensive?" There is such a large wasteland?"

The servant told Shi Wansui that this place is a very dangerous place.Shi Wansui laughed out loud when he heard this, and said with a disapproving smile: "It's a waste of money." Shi Wansui bought this wasteland with only 1000 million yuan, which is equivalent to one-third of the land price in Guanzhong.However, since Shi Wansui bought this land, Shi Wansui accompanied the army to defeat the Turks and killed thousands.They continued to track and chase hundreds of miles into the desert, and returned in triumph.Because Yang Su was jealous of him and weakened his contribution.Shi Wansui refused to accept it, and argued with Chaotang and Yang Shu, but Yang Jian ordered the warriors standing in the hall to kill him in the hall.

Since then, this 20-acre fertile land has been completely turned into wasteland, and it has been abandoned for [-] years.

Naturally, Chen Ying would not shy away from the so-called murderous places. Regarding the deaths of Hou Longen, Yuwen Zhi, Yuwen Shenju and Shi Wansui, to put it bluntly, they all had reasons to die, and it had nothing to do with the death of this land.Chen Ying didn't care at all.

The autumn was crisp, and Chen Ying came slowly to the Qinglin in a four-wheeled carriage made of spring steel with a shock-absorbing device.

Chen Ying came to the bank of the Kuyu River in Liqinglin, looking at the endless wasteland on the west bank. The withered and yellow weeds grew very lush, most of which were more than four feet long.

Looking at this piece of land that is completely his own, Chen Ying feels very comfortable.Due to 20 years of barrenness, there are not only countless weeds growing in this field, but also many trees, some poplar, pine, mulberry and willow are already as thick as bowls.Looking at the wild ducks flying out of the weeds, a faint smile appeared on Chen Ying's face.

Xu Jingzong looked at Chen Ying and said, "Your Majesty, there is a big murderer here, why don't we look for it again?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "No, this place is already very good. Liang Zan!"

Liang Zan bowed and said, "The door is here!"

Chen Yingdao: "Give the remaining money to Wannian County, recruit people immediately, surround the outside with an earthen wall, and clean up the weeds inside. As for how to plan the inside, I will follow Ge Tong's arrangement. From now on, you will be in charge here! "

Hearing Chen Ying's words, Liang Zan's expression turned dark.

This is because Chen Ying no longer uses Liang Zan as his personal guard. In fact, Chen Ying has given Liang Zan many opportunities, but these opportunities will be wasted by Liang Zan. Kicked him away, but gave him a position in charge of the outer courtyard.

Liang Zan actually didn't want to be in charge of the outer court, but wanted to be Chen Ying's personal guard, but he was really incompetent as a personal guard.Although he felt very uncomfortable, Liang Zan still followed Chen Ying's order to recruit people.

Chen Jinyong led [-] personal guards, together with more than [-] apprentices of Ge Yong, armed with knives, axes and saws, chopped down the straight poplar trees among the weeds, and then divided them into sections. hour.Sixteen personal guards dug trenches with shovels and waited until the sun began to set.The first craftsmen recruited by Ryazan arrived here.

Chen Ying looked at the wooden piles that the guards had cut down by the craftsmen, saw the wooden piles from the middle with a saw, buried them in the ground one by one, and then nailed them together to form a wooden wall.The branches are woven into a wooden mat like a mat, and weeds and soil are spread on the wooden mat, and then a layer of wooden mat is covered, and then mud is spread on it. The roof formed by two mud and three mats is not afraid of wind and rain. .

Until sunset, a wooden house was built.

Lan'er, Hongxiu, Tianxiang and Xu Erniang came to the wooden house in a carriage. Lan'er jumped out of the carriage first, looked at the wooden house in surprise and said, "Lang Jun, is this our new home?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "How about it, do you like it?"

Lan'er shook her head and said, "I don't like it."
