Chapter 038: Changes in Shaomuro Mountain City
After Chen Qun and the three of them left Zhending City, Xu Shu smiled at Chen Qun: "Changwen, I was going to say goodbye to you, but I didn't expect you to ask to go back to Luoyang, you really saved me!" ”
When Chen Qun heard this, he immediately looked at Xu Shu in confusion: "Senior brother, what's wrong?" ”
Xu Shu also stopped at the horse and sighed: "Alas! Chen Gongtai is also good at scheming, I can feel his rejection of me, if the two of us stay in Zhending City at the same time, it will be difficult to deal with it once there is a conflict, after all, the benevolent see the wise and the wise see the wise, so I plan to leave Zhending City, but I am reluctant to break up with Liu Xuande and them. ”
Chen Qun smiled slightly when he saw Xu Shu turning his head to look at Zhending City: "Senior brother, it's a good thing that you are reluctant to separate from my eldest brother and them, this will definitely be seen in the future, don't worry about it." But if you decide to leave, I will also support it, and I will go back to help me take care of the Shaomuro Mountain City, and I will be relieved to have you over there. ”
Xu Shu smiled slightly when he heard this, and then looked back at the sky in the direction of Luoyang and said: "Okay, I also have this intention, two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and I think that the current Shaolin Mountain City is also very beautiful, if the mountain city is almost built, I will take my mother to live, this day it seems that the world is getting more and more chaotic." ”
Chen Qun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Hahaha...... senior brother is finally willing to take his aunt over to live, this is a good thing, then let's go back and see how far the mountain city has been built." ”
"Let's go! Drive! Xu Shu shouted, and then loudly urged the horse to leave. Chen Qun smiled at Zhao Yun and hurriedly followed.
With Zhao Yun on the side to protect each other, and Chen Qun and the three of them were cautious all the way, they didn't encounter the Yellow Turban rebels, and they came to the foot of Shaomu Mountain safely, and it was already the afternoon of the second day.
Zhao Yun looked at the horse farm with hundreds of good horses at the foot of Shaomu Mountain, and immediately said happily: "This horse farm is very good!" It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the pasture is abundant, and it is indeed a good place to raise horses. ”
Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "Master, this horse farm is also our family's, it is specially for people in the mountain city to ride when they go out, and now it is managed by my senior brother's brotherhood for us, the brotherhood is a big force in Luoyang, plus there are guards from my Chen family on the mountain, no one dares to come here to make trouble." This piece of land is the land I bought from His Majesty, and counting the Shaomu Mountain in front of me, it is more than 5,000 acres in size. ”
Zhao Yun smiled when he heard this: "Changwen, you do have money, so the corn in those fields is also your family?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Qun looked at the direction Zhao Yun pointed, and saw that a large piece of cultivated land had indeed been reclaimed, and corn was still planted in the cultivated land, and the corn seedlings were half a person high, Chen Qun smiled when he saw this: "It should be my territory, it may have been reclaimed by my housekeepers, I don't know it yet, master, let's go up to the mountain city to have a look, and by the way, take a look at your new home in the future." ”
After Chen Qun finished speaking, he handed over the horses to the people of the Brotherhood with Xu Shu and Zhao Yun, and then the three of them went up the mountain together.
The road at the foot of Shaomu Mountain is quite steep, Zhao Yun was very suspicious of how people live on this mountain at first, but when he saw Shaomu Mountain City, Zhao Yun was a little stunned, he couldn't imagine that there was really such a large flat area in the middle of this mountain, looking at the mountain city that fluctuated with the mountain Zhao Yun sighed: "Changwen, your world master can't understand it now!" ”
Chen Qun smiled when he heard this: "Master, how much does it cost you to build a mountain city for an apprentice?" ”
Zhao Yun frowned when he heard this: "How can you get ten thousand gold!" ”
"Hahaha......" Chen Qun laughed when he heard this, he stopped laughing and looked at Zhao Yun's puzzled eyes: "Master, the apprentice will tell you the truth, it cost the apprentice less than a thousand gold to build the mountain city. ”
"How is this possible?" Zhao Yun looked at Chen Qun in surprise when he heard this.
Chen Qun nodded and said, "Master, this is true, you see that the main materials for building the mountain city are stone and wood, and these things are all taken from the peaks of Shaomu Mountain. The workers were all servants of my Chen family, and the money I paid was mainly to buy some cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and other poultry, as well as some necessary building materials and food, such as nails, hammers, tools, etc. Let's go inside. ”
Chen Qun, Zhao Yun and Xu Shu stopped in front of the mountain city for a short meeting, and the three housekeepers of the Chen family were already standing respectfully in front of the mountain gate and waiting, and when they saw Chen Qun coming over, the three of them hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I have seen the head of the family." ”
Chen Qun nodded: "You don't have to come with you, notify the other stewards to gather in the restaurant, and prepare another good meal." ”
"Yes!" The three stewards quickly ran away after receiving the order.
Chen Qun ignored the three people who left, but stretched out his hand to Zhao Yun and said, "Master, please!" Let's visit the mountain town first, then see your new home, and then let's go to dinner together. ”
"Good!" Zhao Yun nodded, and the three of them continued to enter the city.
Chen Qun took Zhao Yun and Xu Shu to visit the entire mountain city, even Chen Qun himself was shocked by the changes in the mountain city in the past two months, the changes in the mountain city are indeed too big, although he had ideas before, but because the time was too late, he only told the thirteen stewards his own ideas, but he didn't expect that the execution of these thirteen people was really good, almost all his previous ideas were realized, and the effect was even better than he imagined.
Nowadays, the entire Mt. Shomuro starts from the halfway point of the mountain, and almost all of the dwellings have been built on the top, including caves and dwellings, and all the dwellings are connected by flat stone faces. The most important thing is that many towering trees have been preserved, so that Mt. Shomuro is still verdant as usual, and although it is already summer, it does not feel hot, but cool.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the drainage facilities of the entire Shaomu Mountain are very smooth, and wherever Chen Qun passed, all he could see were channels, and Chen Qun asked the subordinates, knowing that these channels led all the rainwater to the mountain spring, and the mountain spring was also raised by a stone wall around it, and there was a very wide large canal surface from the opening at the top of the mountain spring stone wall, extending to the foot of the mountain. After inquiry, Chen Qun learned that the large canal surface was to prevent the overflow water from flowing smoothly into the farmland at the foot of the mountain in the event of heavy rain, so as to protect the safety of the entire mountain city.
Chen Qun reaffirmed a lot of the abilities of these thirteen butlers, Zhao Yun and Xu Shu also kept nodding, and Xu Shu even boasted: "I didn't expect the wisdom of ordinary people to be so superb!" Such a miraculous design must have paid a lot of wisdom! ”
Zhao Yun nodded: "Changwen, your mountain city construction is so wonderful!" I admire your abilities now! Don't think you're a kid anymore! In the teacher's opinion, although the drainage facilities of the mountain castle are exquisite, it is easy to think that after all, the water flows from the top down. But the arrangement of the road pavement and flowers and trees in the mountain city is really amazing! It's heaven and earth! ”
"Thank you for the praise!" Chen Qun hurriedly hugged his fists, and was able to get Zhao Yun's approval, Chen Qun was sincerely happy, but he still had a little Jiujiu in his heart: Master, this is just a little idea of the apprentice's before, and it is still far from the gardened city in the apprentice's heart, and when the mountain city is really built, you will definitely be even more surprised.
Zhao Yun didn't know what Chen Qun thought, he couldn't help but nod when he saw Chen Qun being so humble, and he thought highly of Chen Qun even more in his heart, and secretly decided in his heart that he must help Chen Qun protect this mountain city.
Chen Qun took Zhao Yun and Xu Shu to Zhao Yun's home, and Zhao Yun was relieved to see the courtyard more than one acre large: "Okay! It's really great! I think there are four or five families living here! When the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jizhou is defeated, I will take your sister-in-law and them to move here, and this is simply a fairyland on earth. ”
Chen Qun smiled slightly: "Okay, master, anyway, this will be your home in the future, you can move whenever you want, and the sooner you want, the better!" Master, let's eat. ”
Chen Qun then went to the restaurant with the two of them, and when they came to the restaurant, the meal was ready, and the thirteen housekeepers stood at the dining table waiting for the lecture. Li Bing'er, Tang Rong and the bearded five also came over.
"Cousin, you're finally back!" Li Bing'er said loudly at the first glance when she saw Chen Qun.
Chen Qun waved his hand to Li Bing'er, and then took Zhao Yun to Li Bing'er: "Master, this is my sister Li Bing'er and Tang Rong. ”
Zhao Yun looked at Li Bing'er and blinked when he heard this: "Ao, this is the sister you often missed when you practiced martial arts before?" ”
Chen Qun and Li Bing'er immediately lowered their heads when they heard this, but fortunately, Chen Qun quickly smiled and said, "Master, why do you keep revealing people's lowness?" Bing'er is my sister, and the master wants to be crooked. ”
Zhao Yun ignored Chen Qun's words, but looked at Li Bing'er, who was already blushing, and smiled: "Yes, she is a good girl, she should cherish it." ”
Chen Qun smiled and said: "Master, don't be joking, Bing'er is my sister, let's go, let's eat first, Bing'er, you and the bearded brothers also sit, and the brothers all sit down and eat together." ”
The bearded five were talking to Xu Shu, and Wen Yan also sat down with Chen Qun.
After everyone sat down, Chen Qun looked up at the thirteen housekeepers standing in a neat row and said, "You guys did a good job!" I'm satisfied! But you must not be complacent, how many people are there in the mountain city now? ”
The young man at the front clasped his fists when he heard this: "Homecoming, there are now 11,300 clansmen in the mountain city. Of these, 8,300 were men and 3,000 were women. ”
Chen Qun nodded: "Very good!" You go down and prepare, it is estimated that nearly 200,000 people will come by the end of the year, and you should think about how to settle them. I'll report back to you after thinking about it for a while. By the way, we can also build some houses under the mountain, we don't need to grow food, we can just buy them all. ”
"Yes!" The thirteen people all clasped their fists at Chen Qun and saluted before turning to leave.
After the thirteen people left, nine maids immediately came up to serve Chen Qun and the nine of them for dinner, and Chen Qun was quite satisfied with this arrangement and did not refuse.
Chen Qun looked at a table of food and said with a smile: "Not bad! At least it looks good! Master, brother, we are all our own people, so don't be polite! Let's start eating! What do you think of the drink when you're done? ”
"Yes, the guest is as you please!" Xu Shu nodded, and Zhao Yun also nodded.
Chen Qun smiled slightly when he saw this, and then took a glass of wine and drank it all, then grabbed a chicken leg with his hand and gnawed it: "Starve me to death!" No more etiquette! Eat! Eat everyone! It's time to eat! ”
Chen Qun's eating appearance made Zhao Yun and Xu Shu both stunned, and then they both smiled and began to eat, and the rest of the people also started to eat when they saw this.
"Brother, eat slowly! Don't choke! Seeing this, Li Bing'er on the side hurriedly dissuaded.
Chen Qun smiled slightly: "Leave me alone, you can eat as much as you want!" This is eating, and there is no need to be restrained. ”
Xu Shu on the side really didn't understand how Chen Qun, who was born in a big family, could be so casual, but he couldn't care so much, because he was also hungry, so Xu Shu also ate a lot, making the nine subordinates who served Chen Qun and his party to eat at a loss. Seeing this, Zhao Yun didn't speak, and ate meat and drank wine.
This table of rice is really sumptuous, pork, chicken, mutton, beef is complete, and there are more than ten kinds of vegetables, the taste is even more unique, Zhao Yun and Xu Shu are constantly applauding.
