In Huaihua in May, the temperature began to become more suitable.

The freshly baked governor of the northwest of Huaihua County, Long waited for Chen Xun to take his subordinates and advance along the river.

In the past two months, Chen Chan has been busy with one thing - choosing a site for his future nest.

Although Chen Chan is a well-known second ancestor in Chang'an City, he still knows very well that a good nest is more important than anything else.

But alas, he has limited manpower.

So far, under the command of the Northwest Governor, he has gathered more than 500 soldiers and horses......

With such a few people, there is no way to even manage the jurisdiction, let alone establish the city defense of the Northwest Governor this year.

"Hateful!" Chen Chan scolded and muttered: "My eldest brother, it's shameless......"

His elder brother, Chen Xu, the son of Tangyi, is now the county lieutenant of Huaihua County and the western governor of Andong Prefecture, but he is much more generous than him.

Not long ago, Chen Xu set up his old nest, the seat of the Western Governor, in a place named 'Chonghuai'.

Locally, surrounded by mountains and rivers, out of the city gate, is a vast plain.

Although it may be a little colder in winter, summer and autumn are definitely a suitable place to live.

What's more, the river next to Chonghua City is connected to Heishui, and you can get supplies and support from Xinhua City at any time.

Chen Chan had just returned from the groundbreaking ceremony of Chonghua City.

Thinking of his eldest brother's arrogant appearance and smug face, Chen Chan was a little impetuous.

But there is no way, who calls someone the eldest brother, the son of the cousin?

Not to mention, it is only the resources and manpower and material resources obtained. Just dumped him for hundreds of miles!

Now, under the Western Governor. There is an army of almost three thousand people, and these armies. All of them were county soldiers transferred from the Yanzhao region.

Although it is not as elite as the Protector Army, it is also a long-trained soldier.

In addition, the Prime Minister's Mansion also allocated thousands of various instruments, armor and tools to Chen Xu's Chonghua City.

In addition, 2,000 households of immigrants were also given as residents and settlers of Chonghua.

On the other hand, he is so worried?

It's simply an abandoned child whose father doesn't care for his mother and doesn't kiss him!

Not only was the personnel supply delayed, but the military baggage that should have been allocated to him was also allocated to others by the prime minister on the pretext that 'the Northwest Governor's rule has not been decided and will not be allocated for the time being'.

This made Chen Chan really worried.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid. In the future, the gap between him and Chen Xu will widen.

In the end, he could only look up at Chen Xu's majesty in the mud.

Even, had to grovel and curry favor in every possible way in order to get disgraced.

"I don't want it!" Chen Chan spat and said in his heart.

He knew too well the faces of the princes and nobles of Chang'an.

Those who hold the stinky feet of the successful can be arranged from the long to Hangu, but there is no one who is willing to deal with a wasted person who has achieved nothing or even make friends.

This can be seen from the number of fox friends and dog friends around him now.

Then. Chen Chan brought five or six sons and nephews who had been friends with him in the past to come to Huaihua to make contributions.

At the beginning, everyone patted their chests and promised that they would follow the rumbling and wait, and they would be blessed and enjoy hardships together.

But this oath is still in my ears.

But the people have already run away, and only one nephew of the Hou Qu family remains.

And that's just because. That guy is too wastewood, Chen Xu can't look down on it at all!

The others, now all revolving around his brother. Desperately slipping his beard and slapping the horse, he is a 'wise and martial artist'. Please take me with you.

This made Chen Chan immediately understand the meaning of the allusion of 'the world is hot and cold, and the human feelings are cold and warm'. also experienced Su Qin's distress back then.

"Hmph, when I become famous in the future, I will make you regret abandoning me today!" Chen Chan swore in his heart.

But how to solve the current predicament is still a problem that Chen Chan thinks about every day.

"The birthday of the Empress Dowager Bo of the East Palace is approaching, I have to prepare a congratulatory gift......" Chen Chan thought in his heart.

Although he doesn't need to pat the sycophants of the Empress Dowager Bo, he has to pat the sycophants of his top boss, the county guard of Huaihua County, and the governor of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate Bo Shi!

Now, as long as you are not too stupid, you can already see that this son and nephew of the Bo family, when he returns to the court the next day, must be an official who worships Jinwu and even Weiwei, is named a liehou, and becomes an important minister of the state.

The future is limitless!

It is not impossible to replace Zhou Yafu the next day and become a military leader.

What's more, Bo Shi is now in charge of all the affairs of the entire Andong Metropolitan Protectorate.

Except for Liu Ming, who was in the city of Pyongyang, North Korea, and was not under his control, all the other vassal yamen and Yousi had to obey his orders and be under his command.

If Chen Chan wants to make contributions in this Huaihua wilderness, he can't do without the support and care of Bo Shi.

Even, if you want to eat here and wait for death, you may need the protection of the thin world.

Thinking like this, Chen Chan gritted his teeth and ordered his retainers: "After I go back, make a fur from the fur of the white foxes I hunted into a fur and send it to Chang'an to make a birthday gift for the Queen Mother!" ”

"No!" Immediately someone nodded in response.

"In addition, let someone send the tiger skins and bear skins I got to Chang'an and send them to the hands of the mother...... Chen Chan commanded again.

Mom's sycophant has to be filmed well!

If the filming mother is comfortable, maybe someone can solve her current predicament with a word.

Chen Chan believes that as long as his mother goes to the East Palace to say something good, all the problems now will not be a problem.

The Empress Dowager of the East Palace is not only powerful, but also very rich!

The inner treasury of the East Palace alone has at least tens of thousands of dollars in savings, and tens of thousands of gold cakes.

These are all the private money that the old lady has saved by frugality in the past few decades!

But the old lady is only frugal to herself, but she is very generous to her relatives.

Just his sister Gillian, the pocket money that the old lady has rewarded and subsidized over the years is tens of millions.

In other words, as long as the old grandmother looks at his grandson pitifully. Just give me a little support, and all his current problems will be solved.

As long as there is money. What's not going to work?

Thinking about money, Chen Chan had a headache.

He came here to Huaihua. I brought a thousand gold, I thought it was enough to spend.

Who knows, this Huaihua spends more money than Chang'an.

By now, he had a total of two hundred gold left.

If it weren't for the fact that he, the non-commissioned officer of the Northwest Lieutenant, and the salaries of his subordinates were not responsible, he would have been a poor man by now.

As for where the money goes......

The furs, ginseng, and pearls, hounds, and falcons of the people were all big eaters.

Chen Chan invested 500 gold in these things alone.

In addition, manpower also needs money.

Like the Chonghua City of Chen Xu. Being able to lay the foundation so quickly and enter the stage of building the city is inseparable from the reason for money.

Is it wrong that Chen Xu spent a lot of money on Zhenfan and King Han, bought a large number of slaves, and helped build the city, where could it be so fast?

However, Chen Chan does not have as much money as Chen Xu.

The reason is very simple, he is the second son, not the first son.

Chen Xu has the financial support of his father's cousin Chen Wu behind him.

Although there are few food towns in the waiting country. However, as Taizong's son-in-law and brother-in-law of the first emperor, and now his uncle, my father can get at least 500 gold rewards from the two palaces every year.

This money. Although many of them have to be paid as discretionary funds.

But it still saved a lot, and for more than 20 years, it was two or three thousand gold.

Now. In order to support Chen Xu, his father took it out.

In addition, my sister Gillian feels sorry for her eldest brother. Privately, he took a thousand gold from the Changqiu Palace to subsidize the eldest brother.

Chen must be so bold because of this.

Directly from Maban and Korea. Thousands of slaves were bought to help build the city.

After the construction of the city was completed, these slaves could build a fief of Garn for him, reclaim the land, and go into the mountains to cut down wood and mine.

And by the way, you can also use these expenses to go to the emperor's brother-in-law for reimbursement......

Therefore, Chen Xu did not hesitate to spend this money.

Not to mention, behind Chen Xu, there is also the rich man of the Shi family investing......

But Chen Chan is not as good as Chen Xu.

He has been made a marquis by the emperor's brother-in-law, and he can be regarded as a unique family.

Therefore, Dad will not give him any subsidies, and the queen's sister will not be so generous in funding.

After all, traditionally speaking, setting up a separate portal is a side system.

There is a difference between distant and close relatives.

Therefore, these days, Chen Chan is thinking about one thing - there are more than ten princesses of the first emperor, and there are probably four or five people who have no permission to get rid of relatives and widows.

Which one should he hook up with?

Not for anything else, but for the princess's dowry......

It can be seen that Chen Chan has been forced to a certain extent by money at this time.

"By the way......" Chen Qian suddenly remembered something, and said to the nephew Qu Hui who was following him: "Not long ago, I went to Xinhua with my virtuous brother, didn't I meet the internal history of King Han who went to Xinhua on business?" ”

Qu Hui nodded and said, "It's true!" ”

"Then the internal history of King Han seems to have said that someone in the country once crossed the sea to the east, went to a deserted island, and captured a lot of local 'Japanese slaves'? It seems that a Japanese slave only needs ten stone corn? Chen asked, "Is that so?" ”

"What the prince said, it is indeed ......" Qu Hui said: "It's just that the king of the Japanese slave Han caught relatively little, and it is said that he is short and frail, and he is unusable!" ”

It's not just unbearable!

The North Korean Camp Reclamation Regiment bought about 100 Japanese slaves.

In the end, it was found that this diminutive slave could not do heavy work at all, and was even more dull and unable to communicate.

It only took a month, and the Hosoyanagi camp was clamoring for a return.

According to the Tunken Commander of the Xiliu Battalion, these Japanese slaves don't even have half of the strength of Ye Hao, let alone those strong Ding Ling people.

The most important thing is that he can't communicate, and he is surprisingly stupid, he doesn't know how to use farm tools at all, and he doesn't know how to plow the land, and he is half-dead all day except when he eats.

Therefore, King Han sells everywhere, but there are very few people who are willing to take over.

Now, the price of the Japanese slaves has plummeted.

Han Wang Xuanzhun is now even vomiting blood at a loss, and swears that he will never bother to cross the sea to catch the Japanese slaves again - just sending people to float along the ocean current, it will take a month to go back and forth.

The fault is not that King Han saw that the price of slaves in Huaihua and North Korea was rising day by day, and he felt that it was profitable, otherwise, he was too lazy to organize manpower, and followed the ancient memory, and when the ocean current was diverted, Panhai risked the danger to catch those short and stupid Japanese slaves!

Chen Chan touched his chin and said to himself: "I have some relationship with Xu Ji, the commander of General Louchuan stationed in Incheon Port, if I ask him to make it convenient for me, send a few Lou boats, go to the country of Japanese slaves, and catch thousands of people back, I don't know if it's feasible......"

King Han's people can all row a small sampan and float over.

Chen Qian felt that it should be faster and more convenient to lead the fleet of building ships over.

Although everyone used the Japanese slaves, they all said that they were bad.

But isn't Chen Chan poor now?

No matter how stupid and stupid a Japanese slave is, it is better than having no one to use!

What's more, this kind of thing, no cost is required.

As long as Xu Ji nodded and borrowed a few building boats, he sent some retainers and soldiers over to arrest him.

Chen Xun felt that those soldiers of King Han could run rampant in the country of Japanese slaves.

Then the Chinese soldiers went, and they were not heavenly soldiers?

Thinking like this, Chen Chan slapped his thigh and said, "Prepare for me, report to the governor, I'm going to North Korea on a business trip!" ”

After thinking about it, Chen Xun instructed his retainers again: "After I go, you will hurry up and contact the Wuheng people, and if you can get the news of the Wusun people or suspected of the Wusun people, Captain Bendu will reward them heavily!" ”

At the very beginning, Chen Xun and his brother Chen Xu both had their ideas on the targets that Wuheng and Xianbei had given to them.

Whether it's to force them to surrender or to perish, that's a great achievement!

But it's a pity that now the brothers don't have the strength to deal with such two big tribes alone!

So, the matter was put on hold.

For the second ancestors from Chang'an, since I can't deal with someone for the time being, let's be a friend of wine and meat first!

Therefore, Chen Chan has had a good relationship with Wuheng people recently.

He sold a large number of iron tools and cloth to the bitter Wuheng people, and then exchanged them for horses, furs, and deer antler velvet and other luxuries.

The sale has just begun, so it's not large.

But more or less, it can also make up for some financial difficulties.

As for the sale of iron tools to Yidi, it is a capital offense for others.

But for relatives, this is really as ordinary as eating and drinking.

As long as it doesn't stab at the top of the court and becomes an open secret, then even if the emperor's brother-in-law knows, at most it will be punished.

Moreover...... It is likely that the emperor's brother-in-law may not punish him......

The reason is simple, he sold the ironware for a sky-high price!

With an iron pot, he offered an uncastrated adult stallion.

Wuheng people still ran over and happily took it home.

As for the rarities of Chang'an, such as deer antler velvet and fur, they are regarded as straws by Chen Chan here.

A pound of deer antler velvet, only one foot of cloth, love or not.

Ten fine leathers, give you a piece of silk, and love it or not.

With Chen Chan's understanding of his brother-in-law, I am afraid that if he knows about such a thing, he will only praise and not punish.

In the same way, when he went to the so-called country of Japanese slaves to arrest Japanese slaves, most of the emperor's brother-in-law would praise him for his cleverness and diligence in royal affairs after he found out. (To be continued.) )

PS: PS: According to archaeological finds, immigrants from Korea and China came to the Neon Islands a long, long time ago.

Of course, at this time, the neon islands, is just a geographical term.

It is also in a matriarchal society, primitive and backward.

Then, every day, he was beaten by the conquerors who floated past the Korean Peninsula in various fancy ways.

By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Gu wrote Han Shu and finally gave the Neon people the name 'Wa Nu Country' or also known as 'Great Wa Nu Country'.

But this is because of its vulgarity - a long time ago, during the period of the Emperor Joseon, the Emperor Korea had already called them Japanese slaves.

Of course, there is also the reason for Ah Xiu's canonization.
