When he arrived at the so-called Yan family manor in Yan Nan's mouth, Liu Xian was speechless.

What kind of manor is this? Even the cottage of an ordinary bandit is better than his Rausch manor.

It was a nest in a mountain with only a small patch of simple thatched houses, which looked crooked and twisted, as if they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

There are a lot of people here, but whether it is the people or the environment, it can only be described as dirty and messy. It looks like a pigsty.

When Liu Xian came, many children came over curiously, these children, one by one, were so thin that they had dirty faces, only their eyes were clean and clear.

"This is the Yan Family Manor you are talking about?" Liu Xian turned his head to Yan Nandao.

Yan Nan's head was lowered, as if he didn't dare to look up to see people, and said weakly: "So that the young master can know that the villain was really a landlord originally, with a family of thousands of wealth and thousands of acres of fertile land." was just robbed by the Yellow Turban Thief. But they can't take away Yan's field, as long as I give me time, my Yan family manor will definitely be able to rebuild, and in the future, it will definitely take on a new look. ”

"Oh? Future? I don't think you're idealistic. So these people have listened to your plan and can build a manor here, and there are fields for them to cultivate, so that they will follow you, willing to follow you in this barren mountains and mountains? ”

"Huh? No, no, young master, how can I be considered a fallen grass? Besides, this is really not a barren mountain range, in fact, the mountains in this area have always been the mountains and forests of my Yan family. In the future, the little one really plans to build a manor here......"

Yan Nan looked up and argued.

"Okay, okay, will it come? There are hundreds of people here, except for one or two hundred of you, the rest are old and weak, women and children. Do you still have anything to eat now? Your fields can only be cultivated in the spring of the next year, and you will not be able to harvest the crops once you have planted them, it will take two or three months from sowing to harvesting, and you are all prepared to wait for the grain harvest hungry during these times? ”

Yan Nan listened to Liu Xian's words, he couldn't help but scratch his head, and he didn't know how to answer Liu Xian's words.

"Forget it, I won't embarrass you. For the sake of you being able to take in these old and weak women and children, and you have now joined the Liu Mansion caravan of this son, which is equivalent to this son's people. Therefore, I will re-plan your so-called Yan family manor for you, and then you will be responsible for building it as soon as possible. Liu Xian didn't say anything about being embarrassed by Yan Nan, and he didn't have the heart to go in to observe this dirty and messy place, so he turned around and walked towards a small hillside.

Yan Nan hurriedly followed from behind and said, "Young master, will you build it now?" But now we don't have a lot of materials, and we don't know where to get them. ”

"I don't care about this, you make a list of what materials you need, and then I'll give you money to buy them. If Zhaozhou County doesn't have it, go to Yangshi County, or go somewhere else to buy it. Things are man-made, as long as you do it with your heart, there is nothing you can't do. ”

Liu Xian didn't reply, and walked directly all the way to the top of the small slope.

Standing on it, Liu Xian looked at the surrounding environment, and then pointed to a place and said: "Look at the small hill there, there is just a small river bypassing it, and not far ahead, there is the main road to the north. In the future, this manor will be built there, and the entire hillside will be classified as the land of the manor, not called the manor, but Yanjia Villa. ”

"Huh? No, no! Yan Nan hurriedly shook his head and said: "Young master, this, this is built with your funds, and it is not appropriate to call it Yanjia Villa, it should be called Liujia Villa." ”

"Oh? Looking at your ideals, aren't you planning to rebuild your Yan family? Don't you want to restore the glory of you, a landlord? You don't want this lodge? How do you call Liujia Villa? Liu Xian looked at Yan Nandao.

"Young master, now you are a slave to the master and me, and you funded the construction of the young master, how can I, a slave, own this villa?" Yan Nan said in a sincere tone.

"Hehe, you still have some self-knowledge." Liu Xian saw that this Yan Nan did not have such great greedy ambitions, and he didn't dare to seriously occupy the villa that was about to be built, but he looked up to him.

"The young master was able to accept us and others to join the Liu Mansion caravan, and was able to solve the food problem for these hundreds of people such as us, and the little one was already grateful. In the future, the little ones just want to do a good job for the less. Yan Nan knelt down.

"Well, if you have such a heart, it proves that you are not the kind of person with bad wolf ambitions. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you go in the first place. Liu Xian nodded, and then said to him: "The place here is yours, so it can be regarded as your share." Besides, what do I want this Liujia Villa for? I wouldn't be staying here and wouldn't come back again. Therefore, this villa is still yours, so it's better to call it Yanjia Villa. ”

"But, you remembered it for me. Yanjia Villa is the final say of this son, and this Yanjia Villa is not really given to you, but for all of you here to own. You can only be regarded as half a master, and you can also be regarded as the host of this Yanjia Villa. In the future, this place will be taken care of by you. Of course, in the future, it may really be given to your Yan family, and your descendants will continue to inherit this inheritance. ”

"Huh? Young lord, this—Is this true? How does this work? Yan Nan was really a little excited at this time, he really didn't think that he would be able to get so much by recognizing a master.

"Hehe, don't get excited, there is no free lunch in this world. Now it's just planning, what kind of Liu Jiayan's villa, there is no one in the eight characters. In the future, as long as you do things well and do the things that my son has told you well, there will naturally be a lot of benefits. Other than that. ”

Liu Xian said, facing Yan Nan and the people who came with him, as well as Zheng Bo, Chen Gen, Chen Shi and others, he said solemnly: "There is one point, I solemnly declare to you, that is, all of you are just following me Liu Xian to do things." I am the Lord, and you are subordinate or subordinate. However, you are not slaves, and I, Liu Xian, will not treat you as slaves. Besides, you didn't really sell yourself to me. Therefore, there is no need to call yourself a slave in the future, as long as you sincerely follow my son and be loyal to me Liu Xian, then I, Liu Xian, will give you a better way to live and make your future life better. Do you all understand? ”

This self-service is not to sell oneself to oneself, to be one's own slave. Liu Xian really didn't want to treat them as slaves.

"Young master, his subordinates will definitely be loyal to the young master!"

The people present were a little moved, and felt that they were really following this master. At least, it seems to be more heartfelt now, because no one wants to be someone else's slave.

This master-slave and master-slave or master-servant are two completely different concepts.

Liu Xian didn't say more, just on the slope of the hill, he planned the construction plan of this Yanjia Villa for Yannan.

First of all, Liu Xian asked him to build a wall, first to enclose the small hillside, and the wall built should play a certain defensive role. It's like a small fortress.

And then there's the building inside, which can be built slowly. Among them, there will be a main building, which will be kept for Liu Xian, or it can be built slowly.

Anyway, we have to be able to accommodate these hundreds of people first, and even more people will be able to live in the future. Liu Xian's plan, this Yanjia Villa, can accommodate tens of thousands of people to live in it.

It's also a small town.

In this, some warehouses should be reserved, and there will be more warehouses to store goods here.

Also, in Liu Xian's plan, there is a forked road on the road to the north not far in front of Yanjiazhuang, which is the road to the county seat of Zhaozhou County. This is about five or six miles away from the county seat of Zhaozhou, which is not too far, and you can walk faster in a quarter of an hour.

There will be many people coming and going on this road in the future, so Liu Xian plans to open a tavern inn at this intersection for passers-by to stop and eat.

Of course, this also makes it convenient to get a lot of information from those who travel from north to south. And this tavern inn, close to Yanjia Villa, can be seen at a glance, if there is something, Yanjia Villa can also directly give the tavern inn protection, these personnel, can also withdraw to Yanjia Villa at any time.

In addition to these, there is also where they are now.

The place of the mountain nest chosen by Yannan is hidden in these small slopes, which is relatively hidden. This is also why Yan Nan chose to settle in this place in order to deal with those thieves. Liu Xian felt that this place was suitable for military training, so Liu Xian also asked Yannan to build a camp here, and in peacetime, his men and horses had to be stationed here and train here.

Now that we want to train our troops, it is better to avoid people's eyes and ears to some extent, so as not to let the government know that Liu Xian is wiping down the army. This, the so-called official word two mouths, their own situation, whatever they say. In case you directly accuse yourself of intent to rebel and send government officers and soldiers to attack, this will not be good.

Therefore, whether Liu Xian is in Liulin Village or in this Yanjia Villa in the future, he must try to avoid people's eyes and ears when training, and he does not want to be truthful.

This Liu Xian was originally made into a transit station on his own business route, but now that he has made it, the scale is quite large, and it seems to be a large amount of money.

But fortunately, there are many things that do not need to be purchased, such as wood, which can be cut by yourself, and there are other materials that can be collected by yourself.

Now these people, Liu Xian doesn't have to pay them wages, he just needs to be able to provide them with food and drink, so that they can work hard.

Therefore, Liu Xian did not pay Yan Nan at present, but left a few people, and would take Yan Nan to Yangshi County to Liulin Village, explain the situation to Liang Ji, and then give them food. Of course, according to the number of people they have here, they are rationed for a certain period of time. In addition, Liu Xian also wrote a letter to Li Yuan and Gao Zhang, asking them to send a few scholars to come, and the situation of money and food in and out in the future will be supervised and recorded by these readers. If there is a problem, we will report it as soon as possible.

In addition, Yan Nan surprised Liu Xian a little, this guy, he actually has two ploughing cows. It turned out that the two ploughing cows originally belonged to his family, and when his family was robbed, the two oxen did not know how to escape by themselves, and he later found them in the hillside in this area.

He ordered his men not to fight the idea of these two ploughing oxen, because they would be of great use when the ploughing season began next year.

The fact that he wanted to keep the two oxen from the hungry also shows that he is not useless. Indeed a guy with his own ideas.

Of the two ploughing cows, Liu Xian asked for one and asked him to send one to Yangshi County to Wenshen.

In addition, Liu Xian specially selected a hundred people from among the people in Yannan and asked them to follow his Liu Mansion caravan as an escort.

These hundred people, after this trip, Liu Xian also plans to take them to Liulin Village for training for a period of time, so that they have a certain combat power, and then according to the situation, let them come back to guard this Yanjia Villa.

It didn't take much time to deal with the matter here. Liu Xian did not leave anyone here to supervise Yannan, and after bidding farewell to him, he immediately set off to catch up with his caravan.

For Yannan, Liu Xian is suspicious, not suspicious, if he wants someone to stay and supervise him, then what's the use of accepting him?

Anyway, it's a long-term thing, if Yan Nan has any different intentions, it's just a matter of backhand to deal with him.

The speed of the caravan was much slower than Liu Xian imagined.

At the end of this day, I have only walked more than 100 miles.

On the way, it was indeed a stop-and-go. This is not because they have encountered the roadblock situation of Yannan again, but because these women's physical strength is limited, it is difficult to insist on continuous rushing.

A large coat is indeed not too heavy, but when you walk on your back and walk for a long time, it will look extremely heavy.

There is no way, just let them rest for a while every time they walk.

Liu Xian knew that there was no way this time, and in the future, he would never use a woman to carry goods like this again.

Liu Xian hopes to get a batch of horses and use horse-drawn carts to pull goods in the future.

In the evening, the caravan came to a town market, which was almost deserted. In fact, it is almost the same as the original Liulin Village, a real town market, which originally had a population of more than 10,000, but now it is full of more than 1,000.

Liu Xian asked the caravan to spend the night in this town.

After settling down, Huang Zhong and Zhu Xiang sent someone to report the situation to Liu Xian.

Along the way, they did encounter some thieves, but they all solved them.

Now it is not far from Quyang, and the thieves in these areas have basically been cleaned up by the imperial court officers and soldiers.

It is indeed not far from Quyang, and it can be reached in less than a hundred miles, and it will arrive at the latest tomorrow evening.

Liu Xian thought of Zhang Ning at this time, after so many days, I don't know how Zhang Ning is doing in Quyang? What is the situation in Quyang now? Was Quyang broken by officers and soldiers?
