Chen Qun saw that there were 100 people in the crowd leading horses, but no one was riding, and the horses were all covered with bulging bags. Chen Qun smiled slightly, and then took his horse and let Li Bing'er and Tang Rong ride up, without waiting for Chen Qun to lead the horse, a male servant quickly stepped forward to lead the horse for Chen Qun.

Chen Qun looked at the manservant who was about the same age as himself and smiled, "Not bad! ”

Xu Shu also applauded loudly: "Not bad, Changwen, I didn't expect that there are really good seedlings among these people." ”

Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "Of course! Don't underestimate the people of my Chen family! Let's go. ”

Xu Shu then came to Chen Qun's side, and walked with Chen Qun to the east gate of Luoyang City with everyone. After leaving the east gate, everyone continued all the way to the east, but fortunately, everyone was young, and the dry food was well prepared, so they didn't rest much on the way and came all the way to the foot of Shaomuro Mountain.

At this time, it was already dark, looking at the towering Shaomu Mountain in front of him, Chen Qun decided to sleep at the foot of the mountain for one night after discussing with Xu Shu, and then climb the mountain after sunrise tomorrow morning. However, Xu Shu insisted that some of the people of the Brotherhood go up the mountain first to open the way, so that the speed of climbing the mountain would be much faster tomorrow morning, and Chen Qun couldn't survive it, so he had to agree.

Although it was a rough sleep, everyone brought their own bedding, and Xu Shu also brought twenty tents, so the female dependents basically did not suffer any crimes, and the male servants were not so lucky. There were only eight tents, so they could only be divided into three shifts and take turns to be on duty for the night.

The night passed like this, and when they got up, the ladies had prepared their meals early, and after everyone had eaten together, when everything was cleaned up, they began to climb the mountain.

Chen Qun had never been to Shaomuro Mountain, he thought that Shaomuro Mountain would be relatively flat, but he was wrong, Shaomuro Mountain is really uneven, fortunately there are brothers from the Brotherhood to open the way, otherwise this mountaineering is really a big problem.

At noon, everyone finally came to the flat area that Xu Shu said, Chen Qun was really not used to seeing such a large relatively flat area suddenly on the mountainside, but the vision was really good! If you want to come here, it should be the building lot of the Shaolin Temple in later generations.

Xu Shu had already ordered the people of the Brotherhood to set up the stove, and after everyone had eaten and drunk enough, they acted quickly under Xu Shu's order, cutting down the trees and digging the pits. Because Xu Shu said, don't be lazy if you don't want to sleep on the top of the mountain, and this is also a place for everyone to live and live in the future, so everyone quickly took action when they heard the words.

Chen Qun followed Xu Shu to check the mountain spring and couldn't help but sigh: "This is indeed a paradise, as long as you guard the mountain road up the mountain, there will be enough food stored on the mountain, don't worry!" ”

Xu Shu nodded and smiled: "Isn't it!" You were so prescient! Why didn't I think of the idea of buying Shaomuro Mountain as your private domain? ”

Chen Qun looked at Xu Shu with a regretful expression and smiled: "Okay, senior brother!" What is the difference between the little brother's and yours, if you want, you can take all your family and relatives over to live, so that we don't have any worries! ”

Xu Shu nodded: "Not bad!" After this place is built, we will see the situation in the world. You can develop your power here, the Yingchuan Chen family really can't be underestimated by anyone from now on. ”

Chen Qun looked at Xu Shu and said with a smile: "Could it be that Senior Brother didn't look down on our Chen family before?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head: "That's not it, the previous Chen family was only famous for its literary name, but when it comes to you, I'm afraid it will be as famous as civil and military!" That's why I sigh! ”

Chen Qun waved his hand and smiled: "Senior brother is really polite!" Brother, seriously, I don't have much money left right now! If you don't think about making money anymore, I'll be sitting on a mountain of empty things soon, what good way do you have to raise money? ”

Xu Shu shook his head: "It's not easy to do anything in this world now, it's better for you to develop your power safely and steadily, but if you want to make money, then open a restaurant and try it, you have so many servants here, send them all out to do some business for you, how much money do you have to make?" ”

Chen Qun's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Hmm! Brother, this proposal is good! No matter what the world is, the food industry is never too bad! The younger brother accepted the senior brother's proposal, and when he turned around, the younger brother taught his subordinates how to cook, and then found a few better sites, and the wine shop could be opened. ”

Xu Shu nodded: "You! Everyone's children, everything is so easy, there is no shortage of money and no shortage of manpower, unlike us, there is nothing, and you have to be tied up in whatever you want to do. ”

Chen Qun smiled slightly when he heard this, didn't say anything more, the two stayed on the edge of the mountain spring for a while, and then checked the terrain of the entire Shaomu Mountain, and after understanding all the paths, the two returned to the platform area. At this time, with the help of the warriors of the brotherhood, more than ten houses had been built, and Chen Qun and Xu Shu entered the houses to investigate.

The house was built very strong, with beams and columns, and the only flaw was that the walls made of logs were not well sealed and leaked. The accompanying craftsman told Chen Qun: "The master of the house, then hang a thick straw mat on the outer wall of the house, and the house will no longer leak." Straw mats are now being made by women. ”

Chen Qun nodded and said, "Yes, very good design." In the summer, the grass is swept up, and the inside of the house is not very hot, which is good! Remember to build your house as strong as possible. Go get busy! ”

The craftsman saluted Chen Qun and Xu Shu and turned to leave.

After dark, everyone rushed to build thirty-five rooms, and another ten rooms were half built, and Chen Qun ordered everyone to build twenty more tents after eating and resting. The residence was settled by Xu Shu.

In the middle of the night, Chen Qun suddenly felt that the emperor's divine order was hot, but fortunately he lived in a room alone, so he took it out to investigate, but it was Lu Zhi who contacted him, and after Chen Qun connected, Lu Zhi's face appeared on the divine order: "Virtuous nephew, this is really amazing!" By the way, where are you? ”

Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "I'm not in Luoyang now, I'm on Shaomu Mountain." ”

Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "It doesn't matter where you are, I contacted you because Your Majesty appointed all three of us today, Your Majesty ordered me to be the general of Beizhonglang, Huangfu Song to be the general of the left Zhonglang, and Zhu Jun to be the general of the right Zhonglang." ”

Chen Qun was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is a good thing! Congratulations to the three uncles! Uncle is now the commander of the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army. ”

Lu Zhi nodded and said, "Your Majesty ordered us to quickly reorganize the army and be ready to go to battle at any time, and then my uncle will be busy." ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Okay uncle, you are busy, you must organize the army and defeat the rebellion of Taiping Dao." ”

"Don't worry, nephew! If it's okay, I'll take my leave! Lu Zhizheng said.

Chen Qun thought for a while and frowned: "Uncle, you'd better propose to Your Majesty to remove the party faction, if the party faction is not withdrawn, once the family and the Taiping Dao rebels join forces, the situation will not be good." ”

Lu Zhi frowned when he heard this: "Okay virtuous nephew, my uncle will personally propose to His Majesty, and if there is nothing else, he will leave." ”

Chen Qun nodded: "It's over!" So he hung up the call with Lu Zhi. Chen Qun thought that he finally had a clue to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and his mood couldn't help but improve.

In the next month, Chen Qun's life seemed ordinary, he personally drew the construction map of Shaomu Mountain, and then every day in addition to supervising the construction of Shaomu Mountain City, it was to teach Li Bing'er and Tang Rong to read and write, and in addition to this, he practiced martial arts.

On the court side, Emperor Ling listened to Lu Zhi's proposal, removed the party committee, and promised not to engage in any more party affairs. All the families and clans who received the news rejoiced. Xu Shu went down the mountain five times during this period and brought back more than 7,000 slaves to Chen Qun in batches. Since then, Chen Qun has more than 8,000 servants on Shaomu Mountain.

Chen Qun also built a mansion for himself on Shaomu Mountain, but his mansion was built with stone and wood, and Chen Qun also built the same mansion for Xu Shu next to his mansion, and built the same three mansions for the rest of the house.

According to his own ideas, Chen Qun ordered people to build a restaurant, a academy, a medical hall, and a martial arts training field, and ordered people to plant a lot of vegetables on Shaomu Mountain, and reclaimed eight pastures for cattle and sheep grazing. The gold that Chen Qun carried with him also cost more than seven hundred. This is because all the building materials are taken from Shaomuro Mountain, otherwise, he will not have enough money at all.

After a month, the 8,000 servants of the Chen family gradually adapted to the new living environment, and according to Chen Qun's orders, they planted saplings in front of and behind the houses, and paved the roads between the houses with stones, and then began to build the city wall. Everyone knew that this place would be their own place for a long time to come, so everyone worked hard and seriously. Fortunately, there is no shortage of stones and trees on Mt. Shomuro, and 5,000 houses have been built without a shortage of raw materials.

Chen Qun ordered men and women under the age of 18 to live separately, with five people in each room, and men and women over the age of 18 to share two people in each room after voluntary registration. Those who are not registered are still living separately for men and women, with three people living in each house. Chen Qun's practice made all the slaves see the hope of survival, and everyone was grateful to Chen Qun from the bottom of their hearts.

In the past month, after personal observation, Chen Qun selected 300 skilled martial arts practitioners and 13 capable and meticulous stewards from more than 8,000 servants. So Chen Qun carried out a preliminary division of labor among all the servants. All students under the age of thirteen will study in the academy and will be taught by Li Bing'er. Thirteen to eighteen years old can study according to their wishes, or learn martial arts, or herd cattle and sheep, or learn cooking, or study medicine. Adults and men do the work, and women cook, do laundry, and do chores. All these matters were entrusted to the thirteen stewards. The head of the martial arts sect is the bearded man and five others under Xu Shu. Cooking skills are taught by Chen Qun himself.

Chen Qun bought oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as sugar, peppercorns, chili peppers, ginger, green onions, garlic and other condiments, and began to teach the more than 20 maids he personally selected to cook.

After another ten days, Chen Qun received a message from Lu Zhi, saying that His Majesty ordered them to go out to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

At the end of March, the construction of the walls of Shaomu Mountain Castle was finally completed, and Chen Qun and Xu Shu were very satisfied after inspecting the Shaomuro Mountain Castle, which had begun to take shape.

At this point, Chen Qun sent his thirteen butlers: "Everyone, the Shaomu Mountain City will be handed over to you thirteen people to manage." I hope that you will manage it carefully, and if I find any of you incompetent, I will replace you next time I come back, and I will decide on your punishment according to the mistakes you have made. ”

"The head of the family, please rest assured, the subordinates will definitely complete the tasks assigned by the head of the family!" Thirteen people hugged their fists in unison.

Chen Qun nodded: "You guys go down, strictly follow my previous arrangement, and don't relax!" All the names of all the people were registered, the original names were recorded, and then all of them were changed to the surname Chen. In the future, everyone will be the Chen family. ”

"Yes!" The thirteen people clasped their fists at Chen Qun again and saluted before turning to leave.
