Chapter 31 Go to Jiangbei

Liang Rou spoke up and spoke before riding the mountain:

"When I traveled with the Sect Master to the Jiuqu River into the Jiangkou Plain, I heard from the Sect Master that he had an idea to develop it into a pasture. ”

Liang Rou did some thinking, as a pasture is a way out, although there are floods, but there are also a lot of highlands on the plains, which will not be flooded. ”

"Ranching sheds and herdsmen's houses can be built on the high ground, with boats and rafts on hand, and when the flood comes, cattle and sheep go to the highlands to take refuge, and after the flood, the herdsmen can use the rafts to travel, without holding on for too long, the flooded area will eventually subside, and then there will be a fresh green grass. ”

Everyone nodded their heads as they listened, and they did feel that the plan for developing into a ranch was feasible.

Yushan was still puzzled at first, why did Liang Rou interject?

After hearing half of it, she already understood, presumably Liang Rou thought that it was not appropriate to tell the truth about the construction of the city in the future.

After Liang Rou said this, Yushan also felt that the development of a ranch at the current stage was a very pragmatic measure, and he admired Liang Rou a little more.

So the county king nodded in agreement with the allocation of the plot, and said that he would let Lan Ruo bring the title deed to Yunmengzong.

As soon as the dust settled, everyone began to appear one after another, taking the opportunity of toasting to convey some meaning to be expressed.

Several local wealthy gentry came to Yushan, and after toasting, they said that it was incumbent on them to resist the invasion of foreign beasts, and they were willing to provide a sum of money to Yunmengzong as a fund for building a ranch and a ranching workshop in the pasture.

Yushan nodded in thanks, and Liang Rou smiled.

Then the Western Department sent someone to come over with a cup.

First of all, it was also a set of polite greetings and toasts, and then expressed that the Snow Peak Sect and Wuling Sect of Xiyun Dream Mountain were willing to provide excellent livestock seedlings to the new pasture of Yunmeng Sect at a preferential price, and at the same time subsidize 2,000 horses of Wuqi Liangju to do their best to prevent the invasion of foreign beasts.

Yushan remembered the suzerains of the two sects.

The Sect Master of the Snow Peak Sect, an old man with crane hair and a childish face, has a mid-level soul martial realm cultivation.

Miao Renfeng, the sect leader of Wuling Sect, is a middle-aged beautiful woman with a middle-level soul martial realm cultivation.

Looking at the scope of Yunmeng County, it seems that the Soul Martial Realm is the roof.

And today, Yushan has also seen the existence above - Lingwu Realm, the old man in the Taoist robe, Lan Nanfeng, the elder of the Nanzong of Zhongnanshan Town, casually stretched out his hand as if he had magical powers, and even when everyone could not react, he even moved a few feet with tables and chairs, and the teacups and wine glasses on the table did not knock over a single drop, and even the tea and wine did not spill a drop.

Although Yushan was attacking his opponent at that time, that scene was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Today's game is coming to an end, and it's quite a success.

Soon after Yushan and his party returned to the sect, a new deputy sect master, Lan Ruo, led more than 20 people to come.

The cultivation of those twenty people is not low, except for a few young people who are middle-level and high-level Yuan Martial Realm, the others are all low-level soul martial realms who can be qualified for the position of elders, some of them were teachers of the Yunmeng Martial Academy, and there are also elders who abandoned the Yunmeng Sect before.

Yushan didn't mind this.

Liang Rou had a lot of opinions, especially for those who betrayed and abandoned the sect.

But seeing that Yushan accepted it, Liang Rou didn't say much, and muttered in her heart that it was inevitable.

Indeed, as the Sect Master of Yushan himself said, there are many small Bodhisattvas in the Yunmeng Sect Temple.

In a sect of more than 100 people, there are actually three deputy sect masters and four sect masters, and the three deputy sect masters are divided as follows:

Deputy Sect Master Hu Li is in charge of the Houshan Garden, and there are many birds and beasts in the Houshan Garden, and the handsome and weird son has become the most mysterious person in the Yunmeng Sect.

Lan Ruo's deputy sect master is responsible for the recruitment, selection, and cultivation of disciples, and the disciple cultivation matters, and the hooded girl is the county lord of Yunmeng County and the most noble person from Yunmeng Sect.

Deputy Sect Master Liang Rou was responsible for the development of the ranch, and selected a group of people from the disciples and elders to put under her, including Liang Feng and Elder Liang Luo, the girl disciples Wang Guihua, Ma Chunmei, Lei Xiaomi, Li Yifei, Yang Mi, and the young male disciples Ma Buyun, Ma Tengyun, Zhang Daming, Zhang Erming, and Lei Bujun.

The innocent girl Liang Rou is the most inspirational person in Yunmeng Sect, born in a small workshop in Yunmeng County, but she is only the cultivation talent of the acquired Kaiyuan, but she is unbeatable, from an ordinary disciple to a junior deacon of Yunmeng Martial Academy, to an elder of Yunmeng Sect, and then to the deputy sect master of Yunmeng Sect, and at the age of eighteen years old, she entered the low-level soul martial realm, and her cultivation caught up with the innate Kaiyuan genius girl Lan Ruo County Lord of the same age.

On the contrary, the young sect master Yushan does not seem so inspirational.

To sum up a few words, luck comes first.

It is well known that the background is not good, but the luck is so good that it bursts, first got the favor and support of Hu Tu and Hu Yao's father and daughter in the forging institute, when there was an accident in the forging institute, and then got the favor of Mr. Guanyun and Liang Rou, and took the position of the suzerain.

This kind of luck almost made people ignore his own cultivation talent.

Next, the layout of the Yunmeng Sect changed.

Yunmengzong sits in the north and faces south, and the gate is in the south direction.

The southeast area is a horse farm, the east area and the northeast area are farms, and the northeast area expands outward to the back mountain garden, and the garden has been encircled to the Yunmeng Mountain Valley, and now it is still expanding to the north and northeast.

The southwest area used to be the outer disciple area, but now it is called the new disciple area, the west area is the old disciple area, and the northwest area is the deacon area and elders.

In the center is the square, and on both sides of the main road from the square to the gate, a row of attics has been added for teaching, as well as a collection of books, pills, and spiritual sword pavilions.

The north of the square is the main hall and the ancillary building of the main hall, the north of the backyard of the main hall is the lotus pond with a water surface of three or four miles wide, the opposite line of the lotus pond, and the north area is the medicine field.

On the wilderness to the south of the main square outside the sect, there is an archway on the sect, which reads "Yunmeng Ranch", from the archway to the south and west, and extends to the lower reaches of the Jiuqu River Plain, including the entire downstream plain, which is the ranch of Yunmeng Sect.

Liang Rou's actions are very in line with Yushan's thoughts.

The shepherd boys and herdsmen on the ranch are mostly orphans, street children, and very poor families from the county town.

Yushan's thought in his heart was that as long as the ranch could maintain a balance of income, it would be enough to take care of those orphans, street children and poor families as much as possible.

In this matter, Yushan praised Liang Rou from the bottom of his heart many times.

Liang Rou was overjoyed when she heard this.

She has been with Yushan for a long time, and she is a caring person, so she knows too much about Yushan's temperament, so she naturally acts in a very orderly manner.

Seeing that everything is going well and peaceful, and the day has entered the first anniversary month of meeting and falling in love with Yao'er, Yushan misses Xiao'er very much.

So Yushan discussed with Aunt Lan to go to Jiangbei.

According to Aunt Lan's consideration, Yushan asked Kui Yu to release the news before deciding when to leave.

The so-called release of news is actually to let the cedar and snow vine protectors know.

However, this time, after Cedar and Xueman learned that Yushan and Qiu Lan were going to the riverside, they did not have any objections.

Even if this matter is decided, the only person accompanying him is Hu Ligongzi, who is about to leave in the near future.

Liang Rou was sad and depressed when she learned about it, and wondered why Cedar and Xueman were abnormal?

Most of the problems lie with Hu Li, Liang Rou guessed that Hu Li should be a high-level soul martial realm who has hidden his cultivation, one is that he can save Yushan from the hands of the black-robed people of the high-level soul martial realm, and the other is that since he came to Yunmeng Sect, the cedar and snow vines have been obviously much more cautious and restrained.

It was only with the constraints of cultivation in the same realm that the cedars and snow vines did not dare to move.

Yushan is similar to Liang Rou's thoughts, but with a little more definition, Hu Li Gongzi is a surprisingly fast person, but at present, he can't defeat the black-robed people in the same realm, and he has hidden the high-level soul martial realm of cultivation.

hated that her cultivation was not enough, and in desperation, Liang Rou had no choice but to think on the bright side.

This is no longer the case.

As soon as the Yunmeng Sect has a great cause, it must be reluctant to leave the mountain.

Second, no matter how far Yushan goes, he always has to come back, there is Yujia Village's father and mother, can Yushan not come back?

Thinking of Yujia Village's Yushan Daddy, Liang Rou was in a much better mood, and Yushan's Father and Niang treated Rou'er as a daughter-in-law in their hearts, and they were very happy and liked it very much.

In the end, Liang Rou decided that when Yushan went to Jiangbei, Rouer would go to Yujia Village a few more times to visit her father and mother and accompany her father.

If my father and mother are willing, I can finally pick up Yunmengzong and stay with Rou'er every day.

On the day of Yushan, Qiu Lan, and Hu Li's departure, Kui Yan personally drove to the county town of the big wharf.

From now on, Kui Yan will temporarily act as Deputy Sect Master Hu Li to take charge of all the affairs of the Houshan Garden, and of course, there is also the bird Zi'er, who is partnered with Kui Yan.

This time, I went to Jiangbei by water, and took a passenger boat down the river from Yunmeng County.

The passenger ship is a building ship with two floors above deck.

The second floor is located in a high location and has a good view, which is twice the ticket price of the first floor.

Private rooms on the second floor are more expensive, five times the price of a regular seat.

Yushan gritted his teeth and took out the money for three private rooms, don't go to settle the account, it hurts to calculate, and the three of them spent the money of thirty people.

But I can't be reluctant, Aunt Lan is an elder and a woman, so naturally she wants to make Aunt Lan as comfortable as possible, and Hu Li Gongzi is the life-saving benefactor of Yushan, how can you be lazy?

The private room is still good.

There is a small bed, a small table, two stools, a small wooden frame by the corner, a bucket and basin on the shelf, there is a window, the window is not small, you can probe out to watch the scenery along the way, the most intimate is to separate a person-sized toilet, which has a toilet with a lid that can be moved and carried away, and the top of the toilet is installed with a ventilation pipe, the whole toilet is quite well sealed, and there is no trace of smell to pollute the room.

Having money is equal to being comfortable, and Yushan can be regarded as a personal experience.

The boat travels down the river and stops at the pier of Baqiu Town, which takes about the same time as it takes to reach Baqiu Town by horseback by land.

To go to Jiangbei by land or by horse-drawn carriage, you also have to take a ferry to cross the river at the pier of Baqiu Town.

Baqiu Town is the northern fortress of Yunmeng County, and the scale of the dock is larger than the dock of Yunmeng County.

There is a story about the origin of the town of Bachu.

Legend has it that there was a strange beast snake down the mountain entrenched here, the snake is also called the snake, the body is huge, the blood basin is big, one bite can swallow several cows, so there is a snake swallowing cow saying.

Entrenched in the Yunmeng ** bank, the south bank of the river of the Ba snake, for the disaster party, was later killed by a big sword swing, the huge body turned into a hill, the descendants called this hill Baqiu, Baqiu Town was named after this.

Yunmengze stretches for thousands of miles, just between Yunmeng County and Yingzhou.

This section of the river is included in Yunmengze, and crossing the river is through Yunmengze.

Yunmengze is slim, and it is the largest water surface that Yushan has ever seen.

Yushan lamented the insignificance of people, like a wave in Yunmengze.

East Yunmeng Mountain Range, West Yunmeng Mountain Range, Nanling, the source of Yunmeng River, and Yunmengze in the north, enclose the land of Yunmeng County in all directions like a well, do not go out, such as sitting in a well and watching the sky, it is always a frog at the bottom of the well, just like I didn't know the Lingwu Realm before, there is a Lingwu Realm above the Soul Martial Realm, there are mountains outside the mountain, and a mountain is higher than a mountain.

The building ship docked at Yingdu Wharf, the wharf is larger, bustling with people, coming and going ships, lively and busy.

When I saw the capital of a state for the first time, I was shocked in my heart.

Look at the prosperity of the state capital, and then look at the county town, such as a rural town.

Yingzhou is one of the three states in the south of the Central Plains, with Wuzhou in the east and Bazhou in the west, along the north bank of the river, separated from Wuzhou by the southern mountains of Zhongnan Mountain, and separated from Bazhou by the Bashan Mountain Range.

The king of Yingzhou is the Xiong clan, and the king of the state can be called the real king, and the king of the county is only the prince and nobleman of the king of the state.

In Yingdu, Yingzhou, in addition to the Xiong family, the largest is the Mi family and the Cai family, these two families occupy many important positions in the court and military camps, and are powerful.

Presumably, Uncle Hu Tu, Xiao'er, Uncle Sledgehammer, and Uncle Qianhammer, who are under the care of the head of the Mi family, should not have a bad life.

After entering Yingdu, Yushan became more and more urgent, and he couldn't wait for the next moment to appear in front of him.

Counting the days, I haven't seen Xiao'er for ten months, and Xiao'er is twenty years old this year.

After Xiao'er Kaiyuan entered the Yuan, how was the progress of cultivation?

Do you still like steamed buns so much for breakfast every day?

It's been a long time since I've taken a steamed bun to Yushan to eat.

Is the child happy every day?

Is it customary for a child to sleep alone in the bed?

Did the child cry his nose?

......

The mountain is full of children along the way.

Aunt Lan asked for directions and learned the specific location of the new forging institute of the Mi clan, and then the three of them quickened their pace.

Hu Li rarely spoke all the way, taking care of himself to enjoy the scenery and customs along the way, looking leisurely.

Normally, as long as a third person is present, Hu Li is this performance.

But when there are only two people, there are not many words, but in the three sentences, there must be scolding, ridicule, jokes, and blows to Yushan, so that Yushan is often embarrassed, deflated, embarrassed, and smirked, but who calls others his life-saving benefactors? No matter what, he has to bear it.

When he arrived at the gate of the Mi Clan's Forging Academy, Yushan was extremely excited, waiting for the next moment to throw himself into his arms and desperately drill into his heart.

The porter was an old man in his fifties.

The old man is full of calluses, and he should also be a person who has been engaged in iron forging.

However, when the old man opened the door, it was silent and desolate.

Yushan's face changed, and his heart was half cold in an instant, and he listened patiently to Aunt Lan's inquiry to the old man, and his heart was anxious.

According to the old man, at the beginning, there were a large number of people in this forging institute, among whom there were also people named Hu Tu, Qiu Dazhu, and Zhang Qianzhu, and their status was not low.

But last fall, news broke that a rare bout of iron ore had appeared in Bashan.

Therefore, the senior management of the Mi clan decided to establish a branch of the forging institute near the Bashan mining area, so they sent all the people in the forging institute to the Bashan mining area.

Later, the old man also informed the specific location of the Bashan mining area and the walking route of where to go.

Aunt Lan and Yushan were very grateful, and after saying goodbye to the old man, they hurried away.

Yushan was extremely anxious and flustered.

Occasionally, Hu Li shook his head and said, "Two legs are not as good as four legs." ”

"That's right!" Yushan slapped his head hard, people who are used to two-legged travel are easy to ignore that there are animals like horses in the world.

Overspent a sum of money and bought three horses.

However, this time I didn't feel distressed at all, I didn't even talk about the price when I bought the horse, and I didn't have to look for change, and I paid the money and immediately rushed to the horse.

The mountain horse riding is okay.

It's just that the appearance of riding a horse is too serious, although he doesn't ride much on weekdays, but he has been trained many times in the Yunmengzong Horse Farm, and he looks like a novice groom in a carriage, holding the reins seriously with both hands, and his eyes have been staring cautiously ahead.

As a result, riding a horse in the mountains is less chic, casual, and relaxed.

I'm afraid this matter will have to be slow, and it may improve over time.

But the horse that drove the mountain was so fast and fast that Aunt Lan was more or less worried that he would fall.

The three of them rode their horses to the mountains northwest of Yingdu.

At the foot of the hill there was a newly built road, wide enough for horse-drawn carriages to spiral slowly up the mountain.

It should be this way up the mountain, and to make a judgment, the three of them rode up the mountain along the road, and the speed slowed down a lot.

On the way, I met many locals who drove donkey carts to pull goods, which were supposed to transport materials for the mining area in the mountains.

Halfway up the mountain, an open field appeared in front of me.

In fact, it is not halfway up the mountain, but a ridge, this ridge is huge, shaped like a cow's back, and its name is also called Niubeipo.

There is a fence in the depths of the Niubei slope, and a flag with the word "Mi" is planted at the gate.

Presumably it should be there, and the three of them hurried to the gate of the wall.

The wall was low and crude, made of gray stones, and the enclosure was so large that there was no end in sight.

There is a team of mighty armor warriors at the gate, giving people a cold feeling.

The leader of the armor stopped the three of them and questioned them.

Knowing the intention, the leader sent a man to report inside.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yushan quietly observed them, the leading armor warrior was a low-level soul martial realm, and the others were all high-level Yuan martial realm.

Yushan was amazed.

Hu Lichuan told him that in the Central Plains, the difference between Yuanwu Realm and ordinary people is the difference between those who are soldiers and ordinary people, and the cultivation of Yuanwu Realm is only worthy of being a soldier on the battlefield, and even the caretaker is too weak.

The soul martial realm is barely strong, you can be a squad leader or something when you join the army, but you are also a small leader, and you can be a steward in a big family with a flexible mind, which is essentially similar to a minion.

Any force or family that can stand on its feet, the Lingwu Realm is indispensable, and any of them, any lineup, can destroy the entire Southern Barbarian Land by themselves, that is, the Southern Territory where Yunmeng County is located.

After a while, a middle-aged scribe came out of the gate, dressed in brocade robes and gorgeous clothes, quite luxurious.

Cultivation is to obtain, high-level soul martial realm.

The middle-aged scribe led the three of them in, passed through an empty playground, and came to a row of wooden houses.

On the way, Yushan looked around a little, and saw that along the wall, there were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, there were military tents every two miles, and there were teams of armor soldiers patrolling, and the guards were strict.

The row of wooden houses in front of me went deeper, and I could vaguely see many thatched hut yards.

Those huts and yards should be where the children lived.

Seeing that it was so simple and the conditions were difficult, Yushan was distressed, and he had already silently thought about the child thousands of times in his heart.

Aunt Lan's eyes were red, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

The most calm and composed, but Hu Li Gongzi, like a heartless person.

The three of them followed the middle-aged scribe into a room.

There are tables and chairs in the room, as well as a tea table, which is steaming hot and fragrant.

But the middle-aged scribe didn't mean to entertain with tea, and asked Aunt Lan, "Your name is Qiu Lan, Qiu Dazhu's sister?"

Aunt Lan nodded, her eyes excited.

The middle-aged scribe glanced at the door and said, "Take Qiu Lan first." ”

Two people with the status of entourage came in at the door and said to Aunt Lan, "Please." ”

Aunt Lan looked at Yushan, then at the middle-aged scribe, and asked, "Why can't the two of them go with Qiu Lan?"

The middle-aged scribe replied coldly: "Not just anyone can enter this place, everyone must verify their true identity, the verification process is long and short, if you don't want to go first, just wait." ”

After hearing this, Yushan immediately looked at Aunt Lan and motioned to Aunt Lan to go to see Uncle Hu Tu and Yao'er first, so as not to wait here in a hurry.

Aunt Lan had no choice but to give up, and then left with the two entourages.

When Qiu Lan walked away, the middle-aged scribe casually stretched out his hand and motioned for Yushan and Hu Li to sit down.

Yushan and Hu Li sat down at the table, while the middle-aged scribe himself sat at the tea table about two feet away.

The middle-aged scribe took a cup of tea and said, "Your name is Yushan?"

Yushan replied, "Exactly." ”

The middle-aged scribe said again: "The prospective son-in-law of the Hu Tu family?"

Yushan nodded and replied, "Yes." I hope that adults will make it more convenient. ”

The middle-aged scribe smiled, a little smiling, giving Yushan a very bad feeling, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

Sure enough, the middle-aged scribe got to the point and said, "The prospective son-in-law's statement can't be counted, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Why?" Yu Shan was excited, and suddenly stood up, "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Your Excellency!

It's been a long time since Yushan has been so angry and excited.

In other words, maybe it was the rare time that he grew so big, angry and tough from the heart.

For a while, there were all kinds of bad speculations in my heart: Could it be that the Mi Shi Mi was not at ease at all?

Are they barely having children?

They bully the children!

Yushan's face was pale, his lips were bitten by his teeth, and his eyes were staring directly at the middle-aged scribe, with a posture that would be desperate if he didn't make it clear.

Hu Li, who was sitting next to him, was still calm, and he didn't do anything to comfort Yushan, including his eyes.

However, he glanced at the middle-aged scribe intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes released some warnings, as if to say: What is honest and clear, otherwise you can't afford it.
