Chapter 39: A New Site

The year 183 finally came, and there was only one year left before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The first day of the Lunar New Year in the Han Dynasty was a day to visit relatives and friends, but unfortunately the Long family had no relatives and friends in Guangling except for Long Yu's old friends. However, according to the previous plan, Ma Chao was already busy, and successively visited the three major governors of Guangling, the county guard, the chief history, and the soldiers, and then personally took Zhao Yun to visit the Chen family.

Long Jun is not idle, according to the plan, the Long family is ready to evacuate Guangling on the sixth day of the new year and move to Xindi, five days just to sort out the items at home, it may not be in time, as for the transfer of the Long family's old mansion to Ma Chao, they have already made a fake and real transfer letter, both parties can sign, as for going to the government for justice, Ma Chao, who is already a nobleman in Guangling, can be dragged along!

On the evening of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was already ready, this was the last time everyone spent in the old mansion tonight, and the faces of Cheng's Xiangbo and Xiaotao were full of reluctance.

After thinking about it, Long Jun couldn't think of a solution to the kind of thing in front of him, so he could only let them figure it out by themselves, patted the sad Zhao Yun beside him, pointed to the door and quietly left the front hall with the other two.

Long Jun, who went out, smiled slightly, "Don't think about it, we have to experience this kind of thing sooner or later, let's take a step at a time, if there are still many things in front of us that we need to do!" The chaos in the world has been revealed, we believe that you can feel it in your hearts, whether it is Jizhou, Liangzhou or Yuzhou, when facing these, we can only prepare in advance, whether it is for the sake of relatives or their own future. We must not be emotional. ”

They are all upright adolescent teenagers, even if people in this era are generally precocious, they still have the heart of a young man, and the three of them listened to what Long Jun said so much, and the sadness in their hearts was also relieved! Long Jun had enlightened them many times before, talked to them about the future, and overcame the difficulties in the previous plan, but all those things were done to ensure the safety of the future!

Several people in the hall also heard what Long Jun said at the door, after a slightly relieved expression on their faces.

Long Jun didn't know about it, and continued, "Come on, I've said everything I need to say!" The rest of you want to go, I'm telling you this today, first, because we are not very old, and second, since you are all planning to follow me, then I will not let you think so wildly! Tomorrow, we will move to the new site first, Meng Qi will stay in Guangling, just live in Longfu, Zilong will go to Yuxian with us temporarily, and then go to Danyang with Zhongkang to recruit troops! Since we have more money than we budgeted at the moment, let's recruit more soldiers to guard! Got it! ”

When it came to business, the people in the hall had already left without much listening, and the three of them also put away the superfluous thoughts in their hearts, and replied with their fists together, "No, I will live up to the trust of the lord and do my best to complete this matter!" ”

Waving his hand, Long Jun said in a deep voice, "Then let's go back to the house and rest, adjust your state tonight and deal with the next things!" ”

"No!" After speaking, the three of them left Long Jun alone in the front hall and returned to their own rooms!

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Long Jun walked to the martial arts arena, lifted a spear, and practiced the occasional Qinglong Wuji gun! Half an hour later, he dragged his tired body back to his house!

In the early morning of the second day, after the Long Jun family had their last breakfast in the mansion, the people of the Long family, including those who had been sent to Dongcheng, were all treated by Long Jun and went to the new site.

Before leaving, there were as many as ten carriages taken away by the people of the Long family, at the beginning, there were still people in the family of Guangling County who spread the property of the Long family, especially after leaving Guangling County for dozens of miles, there were still small bandits on the road who paid attention to these money, but when they saw Long Jun Tong Yuan and others killed a wave of bandits of more than a dozen people by thunderous means, they gave up robbing the property of the Long family, of course, if they knew that the money of this convoy was tens of thousands of gold, it is estimated that these people would not care about the success rate!

However, when everyone received the warning of the Taishou Mansion and the Chen family joining forces, they dispelled this idea! Long Jun still didn't know anything about this, he didn't know that the Chen family and the Taishou Mansion had joined forces to help them block the biggest danger, otherwise, according to his character, if these families had something less, they wouldn't be known to others!

The convoy traveled for a day, and finally arrived at the Gujiazhuang purchased by Xu Chu, which is located at the intersection of Xu and Yang, and the Zhuangzi is surrounded by mountains and mountains on three sides, which is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, and the only exit is the Yangtze River ten miles away! The previous owner, because of the previous attack by bandits from Jiujiang County, resulting in only fifty percent of the Zhuang in the village, the owner of the village was also killed in the fierce battle due to a mistake in command, so only the owner's wife was left in the owner's house, she was afraid that the Jiujiang bandits would come again, so she sold the Zhuangzi cheaply to Xu Chu for 12,000 gold, and then left here and returned to her mother's house!

In the evening, Long Jun called the farmers who were still in Gujiazhuang before, moved all the goods and daily necessities on the carriage into the mansion, and called the person in charge of the farm to come and learn about the current situation in the village and the situation of the bandits!

After a while, the steward of the village found Long Jun, who came was a middle-aged man, thin and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow it, Long Jun saw this person, and seriously doubted that this person was not malnourished for a long time, so it would be like this!

Long Jun let Long Yang watch the moving things, and led the steward to the front hall, on the way he understood that this person's surname was Zhou Minghai, who grew up in the village since he was a child, was killed when he was young, met the former old owner, brought back from Pengcheng, and has been following the Gu family since then.

After the two returned to the front hall, Long Jun led Zhou Hai to the accommodation, sat on the main seat himself, and then introduced to Uncle Zhou, "I am the future head of Gujiazhuang, surnamed Long!" You can call me Son, Young Master, Lord! Now you explain the situation in Gujiazhuang to me, and there is also the matter of the bandit attack! ”

"No!" Uncle Zhou heard that this young man was the future owner of the village, and hurriedly said respectfully, "Subordinate Zhou Hai has seen the head of the family!" ”

Long Jun waved his hand and said lightly, "Okay, these false courtesies are temporarily waived, tell me what I want to know!" ”

"No!" After answering Long Jun's words, Zhou Hai carefully recounted the current situation of Gujiazhuang to Long Jun!

After the original attack on Zhuangzi by the bandits, there were still more than 50 peasant households left in Gujiazhuang, with 370 acres of fertile land, of which there were still 37 strong men, more than 80 women and children, and only more than 500 buckets of grain left, which could not support spring ploughing at all! As for the bandits who came to attack before, they were a group of small mountain bandits in Jiujiang, numbering more than 50 people, composed of rioters, but they had strong attack power and were equipped with a lot of weapons! This is also the reason why it is so difficult for Gujiazhuang to occupy the terrain and the number of people to defend!

After knowing these things, Long Jun continued to ask, "Then do you know where these bandits are located?" ”

In this regard, Zhou Hai shook his head and replied, "Back to the head of the family, this villain doesn't know yet!" But after the last attack, this gang of thieves put down their cruel words and said that they will come back! ”

Hearing Zhou Hai say this, Long Jun raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but think in his heart, could this living thief be a gray wolf? But this is really not a good thing at the moment, after all, their defense is very weak now, more than fifty well-equipped bandits, even if Long Jun, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu and others join forces, they can't fight, and the farmer can no longer use it, otherwise the cultivation in the spring will be delayed due to the lack of strong labor!

But at this time, there is a serious shortage of food in the village, which is the most critical, just after the New Year's Pass, the snow on the road has not dissipated, the possibility of bandits coming at this time is small, if the food problem is not solved, this Zhuangzi is bought for nothing, and Long Jun hates the woman who sold it to himself! Such a Zhuangzi, who is in danger at any time and lacks food and few people, and is still in a remote location, can only die for 8,000 gold, and she actually sells it for 12,000!

After being indignant, Long Jun was worried about the food again, although these people in front of him are now tenants who belong to him, but he still doesn't know what the character of these people is, and after a while, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu will go to Danyang, and I don't know if I can go back to the family village within a month!

After thinking about these things, Long Jun said to Zhou Hai faintly, "In this way, about the grain, you find some trustworthy people to see which villages around are willing to sell to us, let them personally press the grain and send it over, and then I will settle it for them in the village!" ”

"No! What about the bandits, the head of the house? ”

"The matter of the bandits, I estimate that they will come out of the New Year, and they will not appear until the beginning of spring, and I have already ordered someone to go to the field to collect guards, so you can rest assured for the time being!"

Hearing Long Jun's arrangement, Zhou Hai's worries in his heart were also put down, and he responded respectfully, "No, the old slave understands!" ”

"There's one more thing I want to tell you!" After a pause, Long Jun continued, "Since Zhuangzi is already owned by me, then from now on, don't call it Gujiazhuang, and change its name to Tongjiabao (note: Fort refers to Zhuangzi with its own armed forces)!" After my men bring back the soldiers, you go to the government to change your name!" ”

"No! The old slave understands! Do you have any other commands, master? ”

"Hmm... I won't have contact with other people in the village, and if there is any problem in the future, you can come to the house to find me in person! For the rest, you go to the uncle who moved with us to consult, and you go down! ”

"The old slave is retired!" After speaking, Zhou Hai got up and slowly exited the front hall!

Looking at the back of Zhou Hai leaving, he thought in his heart that he would send Xu Chu and Zhaoyun out tomorrow, otherwise it would be really difficult for the bandits to attack at that time!

Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Long Jun sat down at the table and pinched his chin, muttering to himself

"Let's hope everything goes well! Don't go wrong again! ”
