The water of the big river flows into the sea in the west, this is the second time Chen Xiaochu has come to the seaside, and the last time he was secretly close to here under the protection of Liao Hua. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Unlike the last time, this time he no longer needed the cover of the forest and grass, Chen Xiaochu stood calmly on the beach and felt the blowing of the sea breeze, and now he is not the seed of civilization that only has four hundred Han soldiers.

Just south of the river's estuary, Anne's Harbour City stood, more complete than the last time, with a few more shipyards and ships being built.

"It's cooldown." Chen Xiaochu looked at the sea and noticed the Roman navy on his side, and quietly read in his heart, although the Roman galleys were cruising nearby and observing him, Chen Xiaochu did not have the slightest fear.

Behind him was the White Horse Yicong led by Zhao Yun and all his own Han army soldiers, more than 1,000 people lined up neatly, and dozens of fiery red Hanzi military flags stretched in the wind.

"There are no hostile signals, it seems that Anne is indeed not here, probably still to the south." Chen Xiaochu quickly manipulated the watch and teleported to a 3,000-person settlement.

It is a small bay, a few kilometres from the mouth of the river, in an oblique triangle with its other two settlements along the river.

"After this teleportation, the third military camp must also be teleported here, so that my basic disk is established." Returning to the military column, turning over on his horse, clicking on the edited options to confirm, and watching the golden light and enchantment appear again, Chen Xiaochu thought quietly.

"Currently available credits: 14435 points."

The light of the teleportation continued, and seeing that the floating screen showed that the points had been deducted, Chen Xiaochu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally successfully teleported.

"Here, what will my first 3,000-level settlement look like, in this way, the number of my replicants has increased to 8,000, and breaking through 10,000 is just around the corner." After Chen Xiaochu saw the enchantment disappear, he immediately couldn't wait to drive his horse forward.

The Roman galleys on the sea, after seeing that the teleportation was completed, immediately sailed towards their own harbor city, this scene went straight to Zhao Yun's eyes, and he originally wanted to remind Chen Xiaochu a few words, but he didn't want Chen Xiaochu to leave the military formation impatiently.

"You stay here, guard the south, and I'll protect the lord." Zhao Yun waved his gun and pointed it at the south and said, Bai Ma Yicong immediately took the order and said yes, and watched Zhao Yun chase Chen Xiaochu away.

Although he had already prepared in his heart, Chen Xiaochu was still surprised when he saw the settlement in front of him where the teleportation had been completed.

After coming to the town, Chen Xiaochu turned over and dismounted, led the horses and approached it, looking at everything on the street, and suddenly, a rich scenery of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River came into view.

"Sujiazhen?" Looking up at the words on the plaque, although the structure was somewhat different from the modern Huaxia Chinese characters, Chen Xiaochu still recognized it at a glance.

"This quiet black and white building, those who don't know think it's a tourist attraction." Chen Xiaochu approached and observed, compared with Huangjia Village, this small town of 3,000 people seemed to have a more civilized feeling.

"Almost all of them are stone buildings, and the roads are cleaner and look so perfect on the outside, I can't bear to spoil the scenery with fences and arrow towers." Touching the willow trees planted on the street, Chen Xiaochu sighed with emotion, but ideals are one thing, and reason is another, after all, this world has no time left for himself to enjoy life, and military buildings must still be built.

"My lord, a local official has come to see you." Just when Chen Xiaochu was immersed in appreciation, Zhao Yun's voice sounded, and after his death, a middle-aged man in a simple official uniform was bowing to him.

Looking at the replicants who had seen around, Chen Xiaochu said with a smile: "Go to the place where you are doing business and talk." ”

After the other party received the order, he wanted to take the sedan chair carried by his entourage, looking at the four people carrying the sedan chair in the open air, Chen Xiaochu was a little embarrassed, and after politely refusing, he bluntly said that he would just use it, and ordered the other party to take him to the government office immediately, which resolved the embarrassment on the street.

Compared with the replicants in his other two settlements, the replicants in Sujiazhen didn't seem to be afraid of the seeds of civilization, and they didn't seem to be very afraid of Zhao Yun in military uniform.

"Interesting, is it a settlement that emphasizes literature over military force, I see." Chen Xiaochu thought about it, most of the pedestrians on the street were wide-dressed and big-sleeved, and occasionally you could see people dressed in gorgeous clothes, and Chen Xiaochu even saw some women haunting the places where the vendors gathered.

"The folk customs are open, the people are full, the women who have not come out of the pavilion can also show their heads, the rich and noble family has an entourage, the family has a mansion garden, a lotus pond, a Champs pavilion, and a sedan chair to accompany the travel." Seeing those people who came out of the mansion sitting on the sedan chair and seeing the middle-aged officials, they immediately let the subordinates put down the sedan chair, stood aside respectfully, and let their group pass, Chen Xiaochu thought about it, the living materials that came with the transmission in this town seem to be particularly abundant and abundant, and everyone is not in a hurry to live.

"Looking at the way they respond to each other, it won't be the same interpersonal relationship as Huangjia Village, no wonder, Sujia Town, probably the local Su family clan is powerful." After seeing that it wasn't just a gorgeously dressed person making way for a middle-aged official, Chen Xiaochu thought.

"My lord, the lower official has ordered someone to prepare a banquet in the restaurant, can you invite your lord to attend the banquet first, and then go to the mansion." The middle-aged official arched his hand, because Chen Xiaochu was unwilling to get into the sedan chair, he could only follow and walk behind.

"Banquet?" Chen Xiaochu looked at the expectant expression on the middle-aged official's face, and quickly understood what the other party meant, "It's more active than I imagined, and everyone has already been contacted." ”

"Very well, let's go right now." Chen Xiaochu responded, and the middle-aged official immediately stepped forward to lead the way.

Chic restaurant, elegant room, Chen Xiaochu, who was sitting at the banquet, looked at the replicants in the room, and realized in his heart, "The people who come are either rich or noble, it seems that they want to have a good relationship with the ruler for the first time, and the replicants brought over by this town are a little complicated." ”

The replicators who had gathered here early to wait were all the upper class of the 3,000 people, and after the introduction of the middle-aged officials, Chen Xiaochu learned that these people were either the leaders of the local literary circle, or the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and even the owner of a certain door.

"Jianghu forces?" Chen Xiaochu was a little dumbfounded, this teleportation is no better than Huangjia Village, there is only one kind of power of the scholar clan that needs to be overcome by himself, if you want to rule this town, it is no longer enough to suppress it by military force, and the matter has begun to be complicated to the point that it cannot be solved by brutal means.

"In Xiaqingshuimen, Nie Changqing." The man behind him sat down in silence and drank alone.

Chen Xiaochu could see that although this Nie Changqing didn't speak, he had been looking at himself from time to time, especially for Zhao Yun next to him.

"Martial arts intuition?" Chen Xiaochu wanted to laugh a little, Zhao Yun looked very experienced, and he communicated very well with everyone present, and also noticed Nie Changqing's face. Although he had lost his uniform, the Qinggang sword did not leave his body.

"Zhao Yun has participated in countless large-scale banquets, after all, he is a person who has been a general, and he is at ease." Communicating with these people while drinking, Chen Xiaochu felt Zhao Yun's ability more and more.

Although he was the one who teleported out by himself, Chen Xiaochu did not forget the fact that he was almost shot by the Yellow Turban soldiers, and if he wanted to get the strength of everyone present and let them serve his own survival competition, he had to meet their needs, otherwise he might be driven away by them, or even killed.

The middle-aged official's surname is Su, his name is Su Huan, and from the language he has been probing, Chen Xiaochu heard that the other party did not want him to interfere too much with them, which was probably the common appeal of the Shi clan, which was similar to Huang Xian.

Among the people in the Chamber of Commerce, many of them are surnamed Su, which is very appropriate to this town called Sujia Town, and their appeal is to hope that they can find more manpower for them, and they hope that they can find more settlements to trade.

"The owner of the teahouse, the owner of the restaurant, the owner of the raw silk, and the most important grain merchant." Chen Xiaochu clarified his thoughts, this town was originally a small town that relied on some small villages to develop both business and culture, but at this moment, it was teleported here, and the most urgent thing was to give them the underlying support structure they originally needed, that is, the manpower and land needed for planting.

"You can rest assured, my army will meet your wishes, south to the north bank of the river, north to the mountains, the surrounding land, you use it, every developer will have a title deed, I will protect your interests, in addition, you don't need to worry about manpower, how many people are needed, I will find it for you, in terms of trade, I will negotiate, you will have a satisfactory result." Chen Xiaochu responded with a smile, which made many people present immediately feel much more at ease, and there was a hint of respect in their eyes when they looked at Chen Xiaochu.

Among these people, what surprised Chen Xiaochu the most was that those grain merchants were actually the most educated people, that is to say, the landlords who engaged in grain planting were all local cultural leaders.

"Sure enough, the replicants that were teleported out are all characteristics of Chinese civilization." Chen Xiaochu thought in his heart.

"Except for these people, what does this Qingshuimen do?" Chen Xiaochu looked at the silent emaciated man and thought, although Nie Changqing has not spoken, since he can be invited here by Su Huan, it means that he is one of the core figures in Sujia Town, and he must have a very important role.

"What does the Jianghu sect rely on to survive? It won't be a protection fee, isn't it stealing business with me? Chen Xiaochu thought with some distress, although he had imagined that the masters of the rivers and lakes would have some chivalrous and unparalleled scenes, dedicated to serving the country, and then unconditionally loyal to themselves, but seeing that the other party didn't seem to want to talk to him, Chen Xiaochu was confused again, and after thinking about it, he also understood a little that this Qingshuimen probably has a group of brothers who need to eat, but they don't give birth, that is, they are supported by other people present, and they are also cooperative with each other.

"It can't be aimed at me." Chen Xiaochu thought carefully and thought in great fear, if everyone present was not satisfied with him, he might use the power of Qingshuimen to kill him directly.

"Is this the truth that the Jianghu sect is against the imperial court?" Although he guessed the possible reason, Chen Xiaochu did not want to order the army outside Sujia Town to eliminate the threat factors.

"Clear one Qingshui Gate, maybe there will be a second Qingshui Gate, and a third Qingshui Gate will come out, this is a power vacuum that the replicants spontaneously make up, I just need to suppress them to the point of harmlessness to me, if I kill them, I will lose the support of everyone in Sujia Town even more." Chen Xiaochu thought calmly.

"Jianghu sect? It turns out that you are a third party between the ruler and the ruled, and since you cannot be ruled, you just need to suppress it completely. After the banquet and the farewell of everyone, Chen Xiaochu thought while visiting the style of Sujia Town.

When he came to the door of the yamen, Chen Xiaochu didn't want to go in anymore, what he wanted to say in it had already been said at the banquet, so he said to the middle-aged official: "Su Huan, I will try my best to meet your demands, but you need to do one thing as soon as possible, that is, to build a ship, I'm not talking about your fishing boats, I want a real warship, a warship that can bring war horses on board." ”

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, as long as there is enough manpower, we will treat it as a top priority in our town and get it done as soon as possible." Su Hui arched his hand.

"Very good, I will send the first batch of manpower soon, and the shipyard will be set up as soon as possible." Chen Xiaochu responded, looking at the sea, there are infinite survival interests in it, and these things must have their own.

"Can I get my own benefits in this trend of peace between Rome and China, maybe, no, it must be." Chen Xiaochu thought firmly.

"My lord, there is an urgent military situation, and there are more than 1,000 iron horsemen approaching us from the south." A white horse arrives in a hurry from the scout, ignoring the disturbed pedestrians along the way.

"Are you coming, Belisarius?" Chen Xiaochu's watch did not search for Annie's signal, and immediately guessed who it was, "Although I don't know how powerful you are in Roman history, but my strength is enough to share the benefits of this area with Annie." ”
