The situation inside the city was slightly better than outside the city, and the well-preserved houses were given to the homeless if their owners died in the war. But this is only a small part of the reassurance, there are still many people who stay in the burned houses, in the event of heavy rain, the possibility of collapse at any time.

Food and clothing are also insufficient, the weather is relatively warm, and the demand for clothing is tolerable, but food cannot wait. The government gives two bowls of gruel every day, which can only hang his life, and it is difficult to wrap his stomach.

What's more, some scoundrels have ganged up and taken advantage of the situation to take the unclaimed property of the farm house for themselves, or bully men and women, or show off their might, or plunder and steal, which is almost a big harm.

Xu You entered the city for only half an hour, and after a little inquiry, he heard countless complaints from the common people, such complaints were quite terrible at the beginning of the chaos, once they accumulated to the critical point, the energy that erupted would blow up the entire Qiantang to smithereens.

Obviously, that Xiao Chunxiao County Commander hadn't realized this yet.

"Xu You meets the Ming Mansion!"

Xiao Chun's appearance is somewhat similar to Xiao Yushu, handsome and extraordinary, but it is softer, and the smell of books on his body is stronger.

"Weizhi, I can be regarded as looking forward to you!"

Xiao Chun took Xu You's hand and walked side by side to the second hall of the county government, and said: "The eighth uncle is full of praise for you, and has told me many times that I must visit you first after I come to Qiantang. ”

Xu You smiled and humbly said two sentences, Xiao Yushu's decisiveness in Qiantang left a deep impression on him, such a character, every word he said had to be crushed and carefully considered, he let Xiao Chunduo get close to him, did he imply surveillance?

After entering the second hall, the inside was very clean, but the furnishings were old and dilapidated, and there were some traces of slashing and fire. Xiao Chun frowned, stretched out in an instant, and said apologetically: "Let Wei Zhijian smile, the people are too lazy, what I ordered yesterday has not been done well today." ”

The people outside are in danger, as a county Ming Mansion, but they are still thinking about such trivial things as tables and stools, Xu You's face is impassive, and he said: "I'm afraid it's not that the people are lazy, I'm afraid that Qiantang doesn't have good utensils now, and most of the scholars' homes have been slaughtered and looted by white thieves. ”

"That's what I said, hey, I came in a hurry, I didn't expect Qiantang to be such a messy place, I knew it was so, I should have transported some commonly used things from Jinling."

Xu You sat down and asked about the title deeds of Mingyu Mountain and the surrounding land orchards. Xiao Chun also accepted the order, and did not dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to take the land deed, and said: "As soon as I arrived in Qiantang a few days ago, I was ready immediately, and Weizhi only needed to draw a pledge." With Mingyu Mountain as the boundary, the surrounding thirty-three miles, from now on, are all micro fields. ”

Xu You picked up the title deed, and all kinds of red seals on it were complete, and he checked that it was correct, and immediately signed and signed it. After three years of rebirth and thousands of miles of wandering, there is a real place to stay.

Unlike Jing Yuan, Jing Yuan is just a residence, and Ming Yu Mountain and even the surrounding thirty-three miles are his foundation. This foundation is still very weak at the moment, but it can not accumulate steps to thousands of miles, and with roots, there will be a day when it will grow into a towering tree.

Then he said a little gossip, Xu You already had a basic understanding of the new Ming Mansion, and on the grounds that he didn't dare to delay official business, he got up to say goodbye, Xiao Chun kept a few words, and no longer insisted, and sent him out of the mansion.

"Lang Jun, where are we staying tonight?"

There is no reverse travel in the city, Jingyuan burned to ruins, Zhibin Building is now inhabited by homeless people, Zhan Hong also lost his life in this turmoil, the entire Zhan clan was almost razed, and some other friends who have contacts are either the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and they are difficult to protect, or they are ruined and wealthy, and they are powerless, and now this situation, it is not appropriate to disturb anyone.

Xu You thought for a while and said, "Go to Mingyu Mountain!" ”

A few years later, when he returned to Mingyu Mountain, the scene with Zhan Wenjun seemed to be still in front of him, and since the imperial court banned it, this place has gradually become deserted. Later, the white thieves were in trouble, and they sent troops up the mountain to find nothing valuable, and because they were far away from the county seat, they lacked strategic value and were not damaged by too many nuisances, so many houses were well preserved, which was a fluke compared to the dilapidated in the city.

Revisiting the hometown of the winter solstice, I felt a lot of feelings, came to the front of Mingyu's residence, touched the old tree in front of the door, thinking that in just a few years, things are not people, and tears quietly slipped down.

Frost gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind and comforted, "Fool, isn't this coming back?" We're all here, family, all here! ”

Xu You had a smile on his face, but he didn't rub his hair on the winter solstice like comforting the autumn equinox, which is not to mention the difference between intimacy and intimacy, but at least there is a slight difference.

"Winter Solstice, you are most familiar with this place, arrange everyone's accommodation, try to gather together, don't scatter."

Xu You understands people's hearts best, and only by being busy can he reduce the opportunity for cranky thinking, so he handed over the important task of tidying up Mingyu Mountain to the winter solstice.

Dong Solstice wiped away his tears and said, "No! Turned around and immediately got busy, and assigned tasks to Li Mu, Yanyang, and Wu Shancang, some of them carried things, some cleaned up the dirt, some carried the mountain spring, and some made a fire to cook, each performing their duties, and soon made the mountain courtyard look new.

"Xiaolang, there are 26 courtyards of various types in Mingyu Mountain, more than 270 houses, dozens of pavilions and pavilions for other viewing, moon viewing, piano caressing, and pleasantness, five rice warehouses, salt warehouses, and cloth warehouses, two money banks, and several wells......"

The winter solstice held a paper booklet in his hand, and explained to Xu You in detail the main composition of Mingyu Mountain, Xu You listened to them one by one, and couldn't help but be amazed by the extravagance of the rich people of this era, and sighed for a moment, and said: "We have too few people now, we don't need so much, except for the houses needed for living, the rest can be sealed up first, and basic maintenance can be maintained." In addition, the rice warehouse and salt warehouse are empty, and it is necessary to buy and enrich the warehouse from Wu County as soon as possible. The gold and silver money and 10,000 pieces of silk cloth rewarded by the imperial court are put into the treasury and cloth warehouse, Li Mu, you send someone to guard it full-time, and you should not neglect it. In the sky, a card is set up at the foot of the mountain, and no one is allowed to enter the mountain when they are idle. Also, Fenghu will go down the mountain tomorrow, go to the place where the displaced people outside the city gather, and recruit some people, it is best to have a clean background, and if you have children and daughters to worry about, it is really impossible, you are allowed to decide for yourself. ”

After a few orders, everyone saluted in unison and said loudly: "No! ”

"Okay, the saddle horse has been tired these days, everyone should rest early."

On the second day, Xu You woke up from his sleep, listened to the birdsong in his ears, and his drowsy head immediately sobered up a little. Lushuang pushed the door in and said with a smile: "Xiaolang, it's time to get up and have breakfast!" ”

Xu You stretched, turned over and sat up, got dressed under the service of Frost, and pushed the door out. The courtyard where he lives is called Forget Worries, and you can enjoy the sea of clouds when you go out, and the construction is very elegant, not more than a point, no less than a point, it can be described as ingenuity, and there is no cave.

"Qingming!"

Qingming Ying appeared more than ten steps in front of Xu You, as if he had been standing there waiting. Xu You was no stranger to his extremely ghostly body, and said, "Go, take a look around with me!" ”

The last time I came to Mingyu Mountain was a guest, many places have not been to it, and it is inconvenient to go between the identity, this time I am the host, so I naturally want to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountains. The two walked along the mountain road, as they liked, sometimes to the east peak, sometimes to the south, sometimes to circle up, sometimes to wind down, while enjoying the landscape flowers, while chatting and chatting. Qingming is very knowledgeable, a subset of scriptures and history, and medical divination and astrology, it can be said that he knows everything, but his experience is too miserable, and he is more or less influenced by Chen Chan, and his views on many things are not the same as ordinary people's perspectives, but it can also make Xu You think about some conventional opinions from another angle, which feels very novel.

"Is this it?" Standing in front of a mountain wall at the northern foot for half a pillar of incense that did not move for a long time, Qingming suddenly asked.

Xu You smiled and said, "You guess I'm looking for something?" ”

"Lang Jun seems to have no purpose and walks around at will, but the road under his feet always leads to the northern foothills, if I can't guess again, it will be stupid."

Since Xu You brought Qingming here, he didn't plan to hide it from him. The 30,000 taels of silver given by Guo Mian are known only to him and He Wei, and the reason why he is telling Qingming now is because he has no desires and no desire for money, and he is completely credible.

Of course, it's not that Xu You doesn't trust the frost winter solstice to sting them, but Xu You is unwilling to test their will and loyalty with 30,000 taels of silver, which is not a good choice for everyone.

Human nature, complex and fickle, between betrayal and loyalty, there will always be an invisible red line, if you don't try, you won't know where this red line is, but if you try, the result will never be satisfactory.

Stretched out his hand and knocked on it, nothing unusual, rubbed it up and down for a while, and found no flaws. Xu You shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's too hidden, you come!" ”

Qingming did not knock and touch like Xu You, but listened carefully, listened carefully for a quarter of an hour, and then followed a non-existent gap in the mountain from top to bottom, to a point, and then pressed hard.

A creaking sound sounded, and the point was sunken inward, revealing two large iron rings as thick as a forearm, Qingming pulled it, not moving at all, his feet stood on the ground suddenly, and slowly lucked his luck in his hands, until his face was red, but there was still no reaction.

"No way!" Qingming gave up and said: "The mechanism in this should be connected to some kind of thousand catties of weight, I can't do it, maybe Fenghu Langjun can try." ”

The treasure house that can hide 30,000 taels of silver naturally has extraordinary protection, and even Qingming can't open it, but it is conceivable that Xu You has found the right place, and Guo Mian is not lying.

Since the place is right, the silver is like a mountain, and he can't run away in it, Xu You is not in a hurry, and said: "Let's go, today is just a distraction, and we will come back another day." ”

Qingming nodded, and naturally followed Xu You away. He didn't ask what was inside, nor did he ask why Xu You only brought himself, let alone Zuo Yan and the others.

As a friend, Qingming may not be the kind of confidant who can comfort you and listen to your grievances, but as a trilogy and confidant, he is undoubtedly the most ideal candidate.
