Chapter 5 The Yun Family's New Mansion

A complex of buildings rises in the center of Pingliang, which is the new residence of the Yun family. In view of the fact that Yunhou has been very busy recently, the second bolt and the grandmother of the Yun family have taken on a series of duties such as design, construction, supervision, and copywriting planning.

With these presiding over the construction, the Yun family's new house can be imagined. Rustic and rugged, full of strong western style, some of the ideas are heavily influenced by the Baroque. Green bricks and green tiles can be summed up in two words - strong.

A hole in the wall can be used as a shooting hole, and the Gothic tower in the middle of the courtyard has a good view for easy command. It's a fucking spire, and I don't know if the big bolt has been in the Central Academy of Fine Arts. If you build turrets at the four corners, then tear up the barbed wire. If you find two more armed policemen to lead the big wolf dog, it will be even more like a prison.

"Look, Master Hou, this is a design designed by our brothers. This wall is equipped with two bed crossbows, which can be called a battle array fortress to kill the enemy. Look at this gate, it is all made of stainless steel, and it will not be damaged by idle siege vehicles. ”

Yun Yue was dizzy for a while, the steel that Lao Tzu worked so hard to get is so scourge? The big bolt is now also dressed in a sackcloth with long hair and a shawl, and he has the bearing of a grandmaster when he walks. Because of learning a few hands from Yun Yue, the two brothers were not stunned to speak in front of Master Geng. is no longer the soldier who fought desperately with the Huns for a few copper plates. Knowledge changes fate, don't deceive me!

After entering the house, Yun Yue had an urge to escape. Urn City! These two goods actually made an urn city out of the Yun family.

"Master Hou, I came up with this. If the enemy breaks through the gate, we can still defend it with the help of the urn city. The second bolt volunteered to jump out, ready to meet the praise of the Hou Ye.

They were greeted by Yunhou's big feet and angry roars. A good home is built like a turret. Even the urn city was fucking given to Lao Tzu to get out. Is this a mansion or a barracks? Other people's homes have a shadow wall to block the door. These two goods actually got an urn out of the city.

Grandma Yun rushed out when she heard the sound and stopped Yun Yue's tyrannical behavior.

"Child, the old man has discussed it with Mr. Wei Fang and the old fisherman. This Pingliang has been attacked by the Huns all the year round, and this mansion is conducive to defense. If the Huns attack the city, we can hold on for a few more days. ”

I'm still not at ease with Pingliang! Yun Yue sighed, the Huns put too much pressure on Pingliang City, especially after the Huns attacked Pingliang last time. The psychological shadow area left for Pingliang people is already incalculable, and almost everyone is worried. Permanent Tooth led an army of 30,000 and almost didn't defend Pingliang City. Yun Yue with thousands of people how to guard.

"Grandma, don't worry. The Huns no longer dared to come to Pingliang to make trouble, and the constant teeth guarding Pingliang were not so much defeated as they were dragged down. When the grandson came to the city, he burned everything he could. It's a miracle that you can hold out for so long without fuel.

Now we have coal, and every day there are truckloads of coal transported into Pingliang. You see, roads are being built in this Pingliang city. The roadbed is cushioned with good raw coal, if the Huns besiege the city. As long as we stock up on enough coal, the Xiongnu can only look at the city and sigh. When the barbarians of the steppe. I was able to take the fortified city as well. ”

You have to give your grandmother a reassurance, she is just a peasant woman in the country. Although strong. But after all, it's a woman. Live in fear all day long, and you will get sick after a long time.

"With you, grandma is naturally relieved, but there are few soldiers in this city. There are so many Qiang people, and there are more Qiang people than we Huaxia people. is just a little worried, a few days ago, Mr. Li sent some Qiang women to the house. said that he was adding some envoys to the house, and the old woman sent them away.

How can foreigners be trusted, in case of revenge, our family can't afford such a scourge. There are a lot of broken women in this Pingliang City, and it is also a matter of virtue for our family to feed a family. Ay...... Looking at the daughters of many good families, they are lonely and helpless at a young age, pitiful! ”

There are women in Pingliang City who have broken their families and lost their support, and grandma is kind. I can't bear to watch them live without a living, there are many maids and wives in the house these days. There is a trend of overcrowding in Yunfu, and it can't go on like this. What I know is that my grandmother is showing kindness, but I don't know that I think I want to be comparable to the chief in Africa, and I will elect a concubine for 10,000 people.

"Grandma, Li Si has already repaired the house for them. In addition to the daily food supply, they were also allowed to take on some sewing work for the army to earn some pocket money. Rest assured, your grandchildren won't leave them without food and clothing. There are many good men in the army, and those who are willing in the future will be divided into houses and land. Isn't it a good marriage? ”

Yun Yue can't wait for those Pingliang women to hook up with the Qin soldiers, Pingliang is short of people! Dayi, which used to have nearly 100,000 people, now has just over 10,000 people. Almost half of them were still looted Qiang slaves. If there is no one, you can't talk about the economy, and if you don't have an economy, don't think about strengthening the army. Do you expect Lao Tzu to take a few thousand people to fight against the brutal Xiongnu army?

"Good! Good! Good! That's the best, the best! "Grandma has suffered, and when she heard that people who are cool no longer suffer, she no longer cares. As for the Qiang people who lack clothes and wear less, they are no longer in the scope of grandma's consideration. The death of Da Niu and Er Niu made Grandma completely become a nationalist. For people from ethnic minorities, there is no half-heartedness.

Helped my grandmother into the inner courtyard, which has begun to take shape after renovation. The apprentice of the big bolt is carving the beams and pillars, and the land of the second bolt is being painted over and over again.

Behind the second gate is a huge garden, although it has not yet grown flowers. But there are already gardeners loosening the soil, and it looks like it's on a large scale. Yun Yue is looking forward to the scene full of flowers, and it is estimated that this is Xia Ju's suggestion. Yun Yue looked at it, it looked very much like Zhao Guo's Baixiang Building.

In the middle of the courtyard, an artificial lake was dug. The excavated earth is combined with stones to turn into a rockery. No wonder the big bolt asked for more than 1,000 Qiang people, it turned out to be to dig artificial lake rockery, which is too extravagant!

"Grandma, this is too extravagant!" Yun Yue was a little suspicious, and felt a little troublesome.

"Old Jiang said, there is a spring here. If the siege is a water source, it is all for the livelihood of everyone, and Grandma thinks he is right. It's up to them, in fact, grandma doesn't want to get this lake out. With such a large piece of land, it is better to level it and grow some food. Even feeding a flock of chickens is good. ”

It's his mother's preparation genes again, as if these guys are building cities to prepare for war. It is said that the sea in the imperial capital of later generations also seemed to be a source of water for guarding against sieges. Looking at the rippling artificial lake, Yun Yue had to admit that the groundwater resources in the northwest were indeed rich.

Zheng Bin jumped up and down on the rockery like a monkey, and Lao Jiang sat on the stone and drank, his bald head was very much like the iron crutch Li in the Eight Immortals. Turning the rockery, Yun Yue found that there was green smoke rising. No need to ask, the depressed person is barbecuing again. It's evil, and this is not a mountain, forest and grassland. Where did the hare pheasant come from to roast him?

After bypassing the rockery, I realized that this guy was roasting sheep. No wonder Zheng Bin was scurrying around like a monkey, it turned out to be letting off steam. I wonder if this sheep smells of thieves?

"Master Hou, you're here!" Old ginger jumped down from the stone, a handful of old people. The stone, which was more than a foot high, jumped down, and there was almost no sound when it landed.

"Master Hou, this is the old man who presided over the construction. In the future, it will be guarded by the old man and a few others, you can rest assured. Old Jiang said solemnly, and grandma smiled and nodded. Yun Yue felt a little suspenseful. I don't know if these people have come out with something that surprises them.

Between the rockeries, there is a cave. The entrance was hidden, and Lao Jiang touched the wall at the door. So he found an iron ring, pulled it hard, and said to Yun Yue: "This is the mechanism technique designed by Master Geng, if someone who doesn't know sneaks in, he will be shot into a hedgehog by the mechanism." ”

Yun Yue looked at the strong crossbows around the stone wall, and her heart was a little numb. If you were ignorant and knew how to break in, you would probably have been shot into a hedgehog by now.

Skirting the curvature of the path, there is a steel gate in front of you. Very thick look, the tower one-arm wrestling. The muscles in his arms swelled, and he pulled the iron door open.

Lao Jiang lit the torch and entered first, and Yun Yue followed behind and looked around curiously. Finally understood why these people attached so much importance to this place, it turned out that they had built this rockery into the Yun family's treasure house.

There were gold bars that were melted according to Yun Yue's instructions, and there were silver ingots. There were also mountains of copper coins, and I don't know where to get them, and there was a large vat full of them, which shone seductively in the candlelight.

"Where did this pearl come from?" Yun Yue was a little puzzled, it seemed that she had never trafficked pearls. Why did there suddenly appear so many.

"Master Hou, this is all earned by Mr. Ji Chang on this trip. Our glass is very popular with the nobles of Zhao Kingdom, these are the two glass pigs that Shaoyuan Jun used pearls to exchange with us. One by one, Mr. Wusun replaced one tank with grain. The other tank was brought back and stored here. ”

Yun Yue had to admire Wusun Ji Chang for making a voice, and the currencies of various countries were different during the Warring States period. If you want to liquidate it, you usually have to get some hard currency. For example, gold, silver, and pearls!

Yun Yue picked up a pearl and put it on a plate without using her hands. It is a legendary walking bead, and if you get it to Xianyang, you can sell it for a large price.

"These gold and silver are all obtained from the sale of Qiang war horses last time. Mr. Wusun has also been exchanged for gold and silver, and our family can't have so many copper coins. Mr. Wusun said, "We have to make a deal with the people of the Six Nations." It is not enough to have Qin copper coins alone, these gold, silver and pearls are the best. ”

Old Jiang said as he raised the torch higher. so that Yun Yue can see the fineness of the gold clearly.

Obediently, Lao Tzu also has so much gold. Yun Yue scratched her head, she never expected that there would be so much gold in her life. Yellow, glowing seductively under the candlelight.

"Don't take your own things." Grandma slapped Yun Yue and took out a gold bar that Yun Yue had put into her arms. It was placed on the shelf upright, and his face was smiling like Maitreya Buddha. (To be continued......)
