There are eleven rooms in the backyard, and it takes a long time to clean them all, and it is getting late at this time, so in order not to affect the rest, Li Ang decided to clean half of it first, let Kunxiong and Feiyu clean the three east wings, while he and Sprout clean the three main rooms.

The light was not good at night, and in order to clean the house smoothly, Ang Lee lit a bonfire in the middle of the backyard, and in this way, the entire backyard was lit up.

At this time, there was a crackling bonfire outside the house, and everyone was busy inside the house, after nearly half an hour of hard work, the three main rooms and the three east wings were all cleaned, and everyone sat around the bonfire and roasted roast roe deer meat.

Haoyue was in the sky, the bonfire roe deer meat, looking at everyone's joyful expressions, Li An's mood was not bad, he only took less than half a month to let himself and his family live a comfortable life, and a better life in the future seems to be not far away.

"Big brother, I really didn't expect that the skins of Xuanhu and Sable would be so valuable, in the future, as long as we hunt often, we don't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives."

"Big brother, are we going to hunt in the mountains tomorrow?"

Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth and said softly: "In the next few days, we will clean up the ancestral house and go hunting in the mountains after a while." ”

Obviously, Li An is not in a hurry to grab more wealth, settling down his small life is the top priority, in addition, he is still a little worried about beating An Qingzong, for this reason, he has to spend some energy on this matter and inquire about the situation in Liucheng County.

The fragrant robe meat was quickly cooked, and Li An, who was in a good mood, told the story of the Three Kingdoms to everyone while gnawing on the roe deer meat.

What Li An didn't expect was that not only Kunxiong and Feiyu were very interested, but even the young lady was very fascinated, which greatly exceeded Li An's expectations, which is enough to show that in the Tang Dynasty, regardless of men, women and children, they are all interested in military affairs.

If the story of the Three Kingdoms is written into a book, it must be very popular, but Datang does not have copyright protection, nor does it subscribe to the shares, even if it is written, it will not get much profit, all that can appear is that everyone will copy it, increase its fame, and cause the consequence of Luoyang paper being expensive.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed first! Continue to pack up the house tomorrow. ”

"Yes, big brother."

The cleaned up main house and the east wing are three rooms, but the middle one is not inhabited, so there are only four rooms that can live in people, in order to have a better rest, four people in one room, Kunxiong and Feiyu live in the east wing, Li An and young Yaer live in the main room.

In the guest room of the Liucheng County Governor's Mansion, Yan Zhenqing, the superintendent, paced back and forth, while the entourage next to him looked at the jumping candlelight in a daze.

Yingzhou is a bitter cold place, and this year it suffered a snowstorm, along the way, Yan Zhenqing saw that the lives of the common people were very hard, but the food in the Governor's Mansion was extremely luxurious, which made him feel very surprised.

"The banquet is so luxurious, and the food is all people's fat and people's ointment!"

Yan Zhenqing frowned slightly, this meal, he was not comfortable.

"What the imperial history said is that the subordinates did not expect that the Governor's Mansion would be so rich, it seems that An Lushan is not as simple as we thought."

"Yes! This An Lushan is polite on the surface, but his mouth is full of empty words, and he can't feel it when he says less, but if he listens to it a lot, he can feel it. ”

Yan Zhenqing paced a few more steps, turned back suddenly, and said softly: "You have been around the Governor's Mansion for a long time, but what have you found?" ”

"Yushi, there are people following behind his subordinates, and they are following very closely, and many places in the mansion are not allowed to enter at will, but the subordinates found that there are a lot of guards in the Governor's Mansion, and there are three hundred elites, all of whom are private soldiers of An Lushan."

Yan Zhenqing frowned: "A Governor's Mansion, there are so many private guards, is there a lot of people who want to kill him, or does he have a ghost in his heart and is afraid of assassins?" ”

"Imperial history, there is another discovery, the subordinates saw that the meals of the servants and private soldiers of the Governor's Mansion were very rich, which was much better than our food under the corridor of the Imperial City, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty were not as good as the servants of the Governor's Mansion."

"An Lushan treats him so favorably, how can these servants and private soldiers not be loyal to him, but, this financial resources?" Yan Zhenqing felt something in her heart.

"Yushi, our every move is under the surveillance of An Lushan, how is it good."

Yan Zhenqing paced in the house, thought for a moment, and said softly: "Early tomorrow morning, this official will pretend to send you to Youzhou, after you leave the city, go to the guest house ten miles southeast, and let the three soldiers left by this official divide into three roads, one to the Pinglu army camp, all the way to Liucheng County, and the other to visit outside the city, remember, to get rid of the people of An Lushan, and come back in three days." ”

"Yes, Goshi."

After the entourage retreated, Yan Zhenqing was still pacing, he had a faint sense of foreboding, under An Lushan's kind face, there seemed to be a lot of unknown secrets, he even felt that the death and disappearance of Li Wu and other generals were inseparable from An Lushan, of course, this is just an intuition, and there is not the slightest evidence yet.

Pushing open the door of the main house, Li An saw three busy figures in front of him, Kunxiong and Feiyu were tidying up the courtyard, the young sprouts were removing the garbage from the west wing, and in the open space near the east wing, a bunch of roe deer meat was roasting on a bonfire.

"Oh, it's really good to work and cook! Wow, it smells so good. ”

Ang Lee rolled up his sleeves and walked to the campfire.

"Big brother is up."

The three of them also came over.

Li An nodded lightly: "Eat first, and then find some people to come over and help." ”

"Big brother, clean up the house, a few of us are enough."

"Isn't there just two courtyards in front and back? Why do you need to ask for help. ”

Li An tore off a piece of roe deer meat and said, "The eldest brother is rich now, so there is no need to save so much, and the eldest brother wants to ask someone to help, not to let them clean up the house, but to expand the ancestral house." ”

"Big brother, the ancestral house is big enough."

"Two courtyards, more than a dozen rooms, we can't finish it."

Li An smiled and told them the plan he had thought about all night, Li An said that he wanted to expand the ancestral house, in fact, the main thing was to build a large yard in the open space on the west side of the ancestral house, and build some sheds where livestock could live in it, so that his hunting and captured prey could have a comfortable place to live.

In addition, you can also cultivate a vegetable field, and when the weather is warm, plant some fresh vegetables and fruits to replenish the vitamins needed by the body.

"Big brother, is it okay to build a courtyard wall on a cold day?"

"It's okay, build a temporary one first, rebuild it after spring ploughing, Kunxiong, you go and ask someone, and also, open a small door at the west end of the front and back yards to facilitate access to the west courtyard."

"Yes, big brother."

"Feiyu, you continue to clean up the house, young sprouts, you take a break to cook, and make sure that all the villagers who come to work can have enough to eat."

"Got it, big brother."

The three of them were busy, and Li An leisurely took a brush and drew on paper, he drew a map of the ancestral house, each room was clearly marked, in addition, a large courtyard was drawn on the west side of the ancestral house, the addition of this large courtyard made the rectangular ancestral house a square, and the location of the shed and vegetable patch in the courtyard was also clearly marked to facilitate the villagers to work.

Li Kunxiong quickly invited more than 30 villagers from the village and promised to pay them, but the villagers said that as long as a full meal was enough, it would be too much to ask for money, and besides, this is the rule for every family in the village to build houses, and this strong friendship made Li An greatly moved.

"Da Lang is really capable, not only redeemed the ancestral house, but also expanded the west courtyard."

"In my opinion, since Da Lang was injured, his little head is much brighter than before, look at how good this drawing is."

"You don't understand, this is called the blessing of the ancestors, Dalang's Ah Weng is a good man in the village, and the ancestors have accumulated virtue."

While praising Ang Lee, everyone got to work.

The materials used to build the courtyard wall are local soil, gravel and hay, although the material is simple, but as long as it can be used, Li An does not have the requirement to build a high-quality courtyard wall, and the earthen wall built in winter will freeze before it dries, and the courtyard wall is likely to collapse when it freezes in the spring of the next year.

However, at this time, the courtyard wall was urgently needed, and even if it could only be used for one winter, it had to be built, and the cost was very low anyway, and it would not cost a few dollars.

The villagers of White Wolf Village are very simple, work very hard, do not need to be supervised, and no one is lazy.

From time to time, Li Ang pointed out one or two, and repeatedly told the villagers that the courtyard wall only needed to be used for one winter, so that they could speed up the construction.

"Big brother, according to the current progress, the courtyard wall can be built this evening."

Li Kunxiong put down the tools in his hand and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Li An looked at the half-human-high courtyard wall that had been built, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Kunxiong, you can build the courtyard wall today, and I will leave it to you tomorrow to build the shed."

Li Kunxiong patted his chest: "Don't worry, big brother, it's all left to me." ”

Li An smiled indifferently and beckoned the villagers to lunch.

Except for the noodle soup, the lunch is all meat, which makes the villagers who work very satisfied, and when they work in the afternoon, they naturally work harder.

In the evening, the courtyard wall was fully completed, and the villagers who were tired of the day went back after eating, while Li An took the family and paced in the west courtyard.

"Big brother, this yard is so big, bigger than the front yard and the backyard combined." The young sprouts pouted, admiring the newly built west courtyard.

Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth, stroked the head of the tender sprouts, and pointed around: "Here, and here, a row of sheds will be built tomorrow, red deer and roe deer can be raised here, and there will be a few fields here in the north, and vegetables and melons and fruits can be planted during spring ploughing, and this piece under our feet will build a pavilion in the coming year." ”

"Big brother, it's good to plant a few peach trees next to the gazebo."

"Good! If you like the young shoots, you can plant a dozen of them, haha. ”

With the completion of the courtyard wall, everyone is full of longing for the future life, and Li An has further plans, Yingzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and White Wolf Village is even more remote, everything can be lacking here, except for idle land, as long as there is money, you can expand your residence and build villas.
