Chapter 1166: Xanadu

Gao Muqing led the way, and everyone went out of the gate of the village and walked along the wide stone steps to the valley, and when they came to the stone steps at the edge of the Luoyan Valley, everyone let out a sound of exclamation. But in the valley, the long river meanders, crossing the entire valley of Luoyan Valley from north to south. The ditches are vertical and horizontal, and the rice seedlings are green like a green carpet. Between the fields and ditches, the egrets fly, and the farmers sing in the fields. The breeze blows, refreshing and pleasant, the seedlings are like waves, and the greenery is full. This is simply a grand scene in the world, like a paradise cave.

"It's really unbelievable that there is such a world hidden in this Funiu Mountain. Unthinkable, unthinkable. Guo Bing muttered in disgust.

"Lord Wang, do you know what this place looks like? There turned out to be nothing here. This cottage and valley are all barren mountains and wilderness. That year, I went to the capital to take the spring exam, and I stayed here for a winter, and we only spent one winter building a dam upstream to hold back the water. He also opened up the Luoyan River with manpower. Drinking water has opened up wasteland, turning wasteland into a place of abundant fish and rice. Thinking about the hardships at the beginning, people can't help but sigh. But looking at the situation in front of me now, I am extremely proud and feel that everything is worth it. Lin Jue said with a smile.

Everyone was silent, except for Green Dance, who had experienced this, no one in the Lin family knew what Lin Jue had done here at the beginning, including the little county lord. Xie Yingying, Yingying, Qianqian, Fang Huanqiu and others didn't know anything about it. How could they have thought that their husband would secretly do such a big thing.

"Don't say it, I've almost forgotten what happened at the beginning. It's really unbearable to look back, when we came to Funiu Mountain to gain a foothold, there were only more than 100 people. Attacked by the mountain bandits in Funiu Mountain, we fought for more than a month, and everyone, including the lord of the village, was covered in scars. No one thinks they can hold on. Later, the military division came, brought food, weapons, armor and equipment, and we stood firm. Not only did we gain a firm foothold, but we also destroyed Zuo Zongdao and destroyed large and small cottages, including Black Wind Village. The military division and the master of Dazhai insisted on reviving the dead, so that today's situation was achieved. The owner of my village is all about the five bodies that the military advisor admires. Liang Qi said with a smile.

Guo Bing looked at Lin Jue blankly and said, "How many things have you done that we don't know?" Why have I never heard of you? ”

Lin Jue smiled: "I am an official of the imperial court, this kind of thing is naturally done in secret, can it still be publicized?" Am I going to be late? Back then, I was to repay my regret for the collapse of Guishan Island. Mu Qing helped us destroy Peach Blossom Island, but the imperial court not only did not fulfill its promise to make Guishan Island a legal place of residence, but turned its face and did not recognize people, and took the opportunity to destroy Guishan Island Dazhai. I have an unshirkable responsibility for the destruction of Guishan Island. I heard that Mu Qing brought his brother who broke through to Funiu Mountain to gain a foothold, how could he be indifferent. I have to help them, and that's a debt I have to pay. Speaking of which, Luoyan Valley has today, and it also has a contribution to the palace. Hehehe. ”

Guo Bing was stunned and said, "Where do you start with this?" ”

Lin Jue looked at Shen Tan and said, "Commander Shen, now that matter, there is no need to hide that matter. I'm going to say that. ”

Shen Tan smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the prince will kill me." ”

Lin Jue said: "No, it's too late for the prince to thank you, if it wasn't for the original decision, how could there be a place to live today." ”

At that moment, Lin Jue found Shen Tan to get equipment that day, and played a trick of robbing equipment in Qingtai Town, and got a lot of bow blades and armor equipment, which greatly improved the hard power of the people in Luoyan Valley at once, and laid the foundation for a series of victories and a firm foothold in the future. Guo Bing's eyes were about to pop out when he heard this, and he stared at Shen Tan for a long time, and finally sighed: "Okay, this king really can't punish you, one is that you didn't sell the armor of the palace privately, those are just the guard armor and equipment that have been exchanged." Second, if there was no day, how could there be today? It's just that you concealed this matter, and this king is really unhappy in his heart. I'm like an old fool, being kept a secret from all of you. ”

Shen Tan hurriedly confessed sincerely: "It's really because this matter can't be said, otherwise it will cause a big disaster." I am also out of respect for the county horse, and the court treats Guishan Island like that, and I am also very angry in my heart. The prince forgives the sin, if he wants to be punished, Shen Tan does not dare to complain. ”

Guo Bing waved his hand and said, "What is the punishment?" It's all gone. Gao Dazhai master, how many people are there in Luoyan Valley now? ”

Gao Muqing saluted and said: "The prince doesn't need to call me any big village master, just call me Mu Qing." I Luoyan Valley Dazhai now includes a main village and three sub-villages. Since the beginning of the Gyeonggi drought the year before last, more and more people have defected to us, and now there are more than 67,000 soldiers and civilians in the whole village, distributed among the villages. The Valley of the Wild Goose is just one of the places where it gathers. In the areas under the jurisdiction of the villages, all the valleys of the land that are conducive to cultivation and habitation have been reclaimed and dug to ensure self-sufficiency. In addition to the soldiers and horses of the Luoyan army, there are also some soldiers and horses of the township regiment to ensure the security of the valley villages on weekdays. In wartime, the mobilization of soldiers and horses can reach 10,000 people. ”

Guo Bing smacked his tongue. Under the nose of the imperial court, unconsciously, there is such a force hidden in Funiu Mountain, and it is unimaginable that there are sixty or seventy thousand people outside the jurisdiction of the imperial court. This also shows how weak the power of the imperial court is now, and it is powerless to exterminate these entrenched cottages, which shows this. However, then again, if there is no cottage, I would be like a lost dog today, or I would have died without a place to bury. Even though his mentality has not yet been reversed, Guo Bing reminds himself that he must adapt to this change.

Fortunately, this cottage seems to be controlled by his son-in-law, and Lin Jue's temperament is not a cold person, although he has not said what he intends in his heart, but it seems that there will be no deviation.

They walked and talked, and went all the way down to the valley. Along the wide avenue paved with gravel, the group passed through the first village. When I arrived in this village, it was a great shock to all those who entered the mountain for the first time. I thought that the valley village would be in ruins, and the people's homes would be in utter disarray. However, when they entered the village avenue, everyone was shocked.

The residence of each family here is a large and sturdy house, with three main rooms and several wings on both sides as standard, and a courtyard in front and back. Flowers, trees, vegetables and vegetables are planted in the yard, chickens and dogs smell each other, and flowers are blooming. There is not a trace of dirt on the road in the village, and there are high poles at intervals on the side of the road, on which wind lanterns are hung. There are also a few chests with lids next to the houses of every house on the side of the road.

Gao Muqing said that the wind lanterns on the high poles are street lamps, which are lit at night, and the roads in the village are like a street market. The boxes on the side of the road are called garbage bins, and the garbage and waste of each household are put into the bins, which are cleaned up and pulled to the valley south to be incinerated and landfilled.

There are also various shops along the main street in the village, with the sound of blacksmiths and the grocery stores. The tavern flags hang on the treetops, and some people in the tavern laugh and drink, which is very pleasant. This is a mountain village, it is completely a street market town, although the scale is not large, but it is obvious that it is in order.

Others, such as the village, have security booths, have kiosk stagecoaches for free rides, and the entire road in the Lok Yan Valley is free of charge. There are also measures such as building water towers in the village, and water flowing into the homes of each household, and when Gao Muqing said it one by one, everyone was dumbfounded.

The shock in everyone's hearts is incomparable, which is even more shocking than when they see the scale of Dazhai in Dazhai. Guo Bing is not an ignorant person, he knows that these subtle and trivial things really reflect the order of this cottage. This shows that the management of this cottage is not inferior to the management of the street market in the imperial court, but it is even better. This requires a nuanced approach to have such an effect. The person who devised this method must have put a lot of effort into it, and he knew a lot of things. This is what a capable person can do, and not ordinary people can do it.

When he learned that these things were proposed by Lin Jue and implemented by Gao Muqing one by one, Guo Bing was relieved. Who else could it be besides Lin Jue? Who else but him can have such means? This place in the mountains is actually a place for Lin Jue to realize his ideas. When he suffered setbacks in the imperial court, Lin Jue was afraid that he put a lot of thought into this cottage. No wonder Lin Jue always has an indifferent attitude, he has already left a way back for himself. This cottage is his way back. It's a matter of planning.

The shock continued, and the group walked all the way north, along the embankment on the bank of the wide Luoyan River, passing through several villages. Every village is so clean and orderly. The faces of the people were not yellow and thin, but they were ruddy and laughed from the heart. There was a lot of reading in the school, and the children didn't want to be unkempt and disheveled like the children in the village outside. Although the people here are not gorgeously dressed, and it can be seen that they are all dyed clothes made of self-woven cloth, but they are in excellent spirits.

Everyone discovered more novelties, they actually found that there was also a Qinglou Song House, and they found the neon dress shop that was opened. At the intersection of Beicun, I actually saw a signboard of the Jiangnan Grand Theater. There is a large sign at the entrance with the repertoire of the show and the names of the actors. And Guo Bing was shocked that he saw two familiar names on it: Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan.

Guo Bing was really shocked, how many things Lin Jue had done that he didn't know, everything here was like a dream, and many things were beyond his expectations, beyond his imagination. For the first time, Guo Bing completely thought that Lin Jue was an unfathomable figure. This man is so powerful, so surprising.

Fortunately, he is his own son-in-law, and he is his own person.
