Chapter 332: The Castle in the Ranch
Where is the Western Regions? At that time, people believed that the Western Regions was in the northwest of Yiqu Country, at the end of the desert.
In the years when water and grass were abundant, some people made a detour to the east to do business with northerners. There are also people who know the path of the desert and come directly from the desert. But that would be too risky, and only adventurers would be willing to do it.
It's far away from the desert, but! There are still business dealings.
Knowing that this horse is from the Western Regions, where can Bai Gui calm down?
To know! He is not Bai Gui, he is not the Shang Sheng Bai Gui of later generations, but Bai Gui, a college student who has crossed over from a third-rate university.
If something happens to the eldest son raised by Bai Gui's predecessor and Zhao Girl, he feels sorry for Bai Gui's senior.
People are a generation of business saints! And me? What is it? What virtue do I have, how can I occupy the body of Bai Gui's predecessors?
Since he occupies this body, he must protect all the relatives of Bai Gui's predecessors and inherit his career.
"White officials! Now you have a clue! Childe will definitely be able to get it back! Childe is young! Good health, I'm sure he can do it! ”
"White officials! We've sent someone to look for it. Moreover! Let people go and invite Uncle Wu! If you can meet Uncle Wu, it will be easy to do! Uncle Wu is particularly familiar with the prairie and has some understanding of the situation in the Western Regions! We asked him to come out and help, and we will definitely be able to get Childe back! ”
Uncle Wu is not in Lan Gongzi's ranch, and has returned to his hometown Yiqu. Uncle Wu is a disciple of Bole and knows horses. Back then! He helped Bai Gui sort the more than 10,000 horses that had been sold, and selected thousands of horses and good horses.
Horses are labeled separately according to their characteristics. The horses he identified were absolutely reliable. He said that this horse is good at running, and that is a thousand miles horse. He said that the horse was suitable for pulling carts, so! It is absolutely impossible for you to let it be a cavalry war horse, and you will not be able to give full play to its ability to pull a cart.
After the horses were sold, Uncle Wu returned to his hometown. Bai Gui gave him a sum of money and prepared a house for him to live in Linquan Castle, so that he could return to his hometown and move all his relatives here. Other than that! Two guards were also sent to protect Uncle Wu's safety.
Uncle Wu is a special talent, so he naturally needs special treatment.
Because of the backwardness of ancient information, there has been no news since Uncle Wu left. Anyway, in ancient times, it was normal for a person to have no news for three or five years. So! It doesn't seem strange.
But! Calculate the time, Uncle Wu should also be able to come back.
The current Uncle Wu may have arrived at Linquan Castle. Maybe? I have already rushed from Linquan Castle to Lan Gongzi's ranch.
In Lan Gongzi's pasture, there are still thousands of horses.
In terms of horses, Bai Gui has not lost it. When he met a team of horse sellers, he would ask people to buy the horses and put them on the ranch of Lan Gongzi.
So! Uncle Wu doesn't come to Lan Gongzi's ranch and horses, and these horses will not be sold easily. Even if they were to sell, they were just ordinary horses. I think it's a good horse and a thousand miles, and it won't be sold easily.
With everyone's relief, Bai Gui got better.
When Zhao Nu learned that her son might have been carried to the Western Regions by horse, she no longer fainted to death, but! Straight to the sick.
She has been strong all her life, and she can no longer accept the news of her eldest son.
Bai Gui saw that Zhao Nu was sick, so he had no choice but to stay and take care of her.
On the current Lan Gongzi Ranch, except for the dead people, everyone else was released by that nobleman, and the ranch returned to Bai Gui's hands. And! This time! It is clear: no matter which nobleman the owner of this ranch is from Zhongshan Kingdom, it is rented to Bai Gui.
Before! Although Bai Gui is the master of this, the people of Zhongshan Kingdom think that it is Lan Gongzi's. So! Don't take Bai Gui seriously. I don't think it's about Bai Gui, we are targeting Lan Gongzi.
Right now! The status is clear: this is mine! I'm contracted!
The nature is different, and no one will dare to touch here in the future.
Before! They were just the ones who moved Lan Gongzi, and they didn't dare to touch Bai Gui's horse. But they didn't know: the people on Lan Gongzi's ranch were also Bai Gui's people. Lan Gongzi's people are Bai Gui's people.
That's why! Although those people wanted to move Baekyu, they still gave Baekyu face. So! Knowing that Zhao Nu's family was Bai Gui's people, they didn't dare to kill, but just proposed to be deported.
If you don't take Bai Gui seriously, you will not only kill Zhao Nu's family, but also move the horses on the pasture.
On Lan Gongzi's pasture, the horse shed that was built before is still there. It's the same as before, only! There are not so many horses left.
The houses of the people who manage the ranch also still exist. And! It used to be built of thatch, but now it is mostly made of stone and wood.
The mountain col where Zhao Nu's family lives is very secluded, there is no wide road, only a small path that can be pushed by a unicycle.
In the past, when the house was built, a temporary road was built. After the house was built, Zhao Nu asked people to sow weeds on the road and change the road into the current sheep intestine path.
The obvious purpose of this is to not let more people know the secrets in the col and disturb the life of their family.
On a high ground in the middle of the col, rows of stone and timber houses were built into a large courtyard. In front of the compound, there is a small stream. Downstream of the creek, there is a small pond that has been formed naturally. The current small pond has been expanded.
Above the creek, there is a well.
In the courtyard, there is also a well. Normally, the drinking water is from the well above the creek. Only in exceptional circumstances should they eat water from their own compounds.
That is to say! During the safe period, when no one framed them, they all ate live spring water outside the courtyard. Only when they are framed do they eat the water in the compound.
This courtyard, on the surface, is an ordinary courtyard, but it is actually built according to the specifications of the city walls and castles. If someone attacks, you can hide inside and defend yourself.
At the foot of the mountain around the col are dozens or hundreds of acres of land.
Around the col, hundreds of acres of land can also be reclaimed. It's just that! Now the population inside is small and uncultivated. Just Zhao Nu's family, with these lands, they can live a rich life.
If you reclaim the land with poor soil quality inside, and then reclaim the terraced land along the foot of the mountain, then! Countless lands can be reclaimed.
Bai Gui stayed in Lan Gongzi's ranch, and there was one more important thing. That is: to develop the population on this side.
In the past, he had this plan to develop the population in Lan Gongzi's ranch. In the same way, people migrate from the surrounding areas or other places. After this incident, he was even more resolute in this decision.
Before! He has been paying attention to the affairs of Linquan, and he can't take care of this side at all. Right now! He's going to have to step up here.
Only by developing the population and expanding the strength of the Lan Gongzi Ranch can he have the ability to resist the nobles of the Zhongshan Kingdom. Guards alone can't compete with the nobility of a country.
