The southern foot of the Qinling Mountains.

In the depths, the plains are infinite, like grasslands, like oceans.

Externally, there were several towering peaks blocking the way, and Meng Qingqiu and Wei Chiwei led the crowd to open up a road with difficulty.

The only good thing is that in order to enter here, you must first pass through the Moon Worship Villa, which is the first and last line of defense here.

The spies of the iron hook can't pass the Moon Worship Villa.

Daqin's spies can't cross the Feng River.

Although this place already belongs to the territory of Great Qin, there are no people around, and there are demon beasts everywhere, and no one is willing to spend military power here.

The most fundamental reason is that the feng shui here in the southern foot can only be said to be commonplace, which can raise a person.

It is also impossible to provide one or two for the national fortune of the entire Great Qin.

This is also the blessed land of the Moon Worship Villa, when the Moon Worship Villa started, there were 10,000 war horses, which monopolized the edge of Cangyun City, used for grazing, and did a good job, and in this plain, there were often wild horses in and out.

Sometimes, when some wild horses are difficult to survive in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, they will also run to the horse farm of the Moon Worship Villa to find food, so that it will become the extra share of the Moon Worship Villa.

Five thousand, here it seems insignificant.

There are lakes in the plains, and there are small forests in some areas, although they are small forests, but the trees are all towering trees, and there are also strange medicinal herbs that are not common in the outside world.

After Meng Qingqiu came here, the first thing he felt was shock.

Such a large no-man's land is just a corner of the vast Qinling Mountains.

Wei Chiwei said on the side: "My master here has calculated, can garrison 100,000 soldiers, can feed 300,000 people, the soil here is fertile, suitable for growing food, there are also a lot of wood and medicinal materials, belongs to the blessed land." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that there are often demon beast activities here, there should be a group of people who come here to live. ”

Meng Qingqiu was puzzled and asked, "Such a treasure of feng shui, why is there no Great Qin Iron Horse to guard it?"

Wei Chiwei still has a good impression of this girl wearing a mask, because this girl is very capable, unlike most women, crying, soft and weak.

smiled and said: "A place, if you want the people to move over, you can't do without three things first, one is the government, without the existence of the government, it is easy to eat people." ”

"Second, there are many demon beasts here, and ordinary people are here, and they are also dead. ”

"Third, many people have their own hometowns, all have a stable and down-to-earth nest, and suddenly leave, reluctant to be on the one hand, and on the other, not many people have the courage to take root in a completely unfamiliar place. ”

"We also have a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to be able to come here this time. ”

"If nothing else, it costs a lot just to build houses, castles, and open up wasteland. ”

"Moreover, some of the demon beasts have been cleaned up by us, but there are no demon beasts around here, it is also an unknown, the girl's mount can deter the demon beasts, and the commander's horse can also deter the demon beasts, we can come here thanks to the spirit beasts to open the way. ”

"Otherwise, it's also an endless bloody battle. ”

"Some things look beautiful, but if others can't get them, there is a reason why they can't get them. ”

To transform a no-man's land into a place where people live and work in peace and contentment, and the army occupies a treasure land of natural danger, this expense alone is enough to make people head off.

If it weren't for the discovery of the salt and iron in the Fengling Mountain Range, Yuan Zheng and Yu Chiyang would not have had such great courage to open up this place.

Wang Chu is in the rivers and lakes of Lingzhou, there are more than 500 people under his hands, and the main income is to pay money in the green building and the restaurant, when Li Chen found Wang Chu, Wang Chu was also very obedient and did not resist.

First, because he couldn't beat Li Chen at all, and secondly, because the top of the clouds had already spread in the Dao at that time, and he could reflect each other with the Moon Worship Villa, and his strength was naturally good.

Wang Chu thought to himself, the tree is a big wind, and it is good to enjoy the shade.

Counting on the money from the Qinglou and the restaurant every month, he and his brothers can only live for food and clothing, and it is difficult to have extra money to spend their feelings.

Wang Chu, who is nearly forty years old, has a martial arts cultivation at the peak of the realm, and if there is a suitable opportunity, he can also enter the elephant realm and ride the wind.

People who mix rivers and lakes are either mixed with silver or mixed with skills.

When Wang Chu knew that there were masters in the top of the clouds, and there were not a few masters in the elephant realm and the masters of the Dao realm, Wang Chu planned to take refuge in the top of the clouds, but he was unwilling to take the initiative to take refuge, thinking that he still had some connections in the black and white roads of Lingzhou, and the top of the clouds should find himself.

As Wang Chu guessed, Li Chen found him, and Wang Chu is also a person who knows the times and is Junjie.

Integrating into the top of the clouds has three benefits for Wang Chu.

The first advantage is that the team is big, don't be afraid of things, except for the government, Wang Chu has confidence in front of anyone.

The second benefit is the treatment, the brothers have a military salary every month, and they also have a livelihood to support their families, counting on the money from the Qinglou and the restaurant, and it is difficult to settle down.

The third benefit, that is, his own martial arts cultivation, the great commander Li Chen, once also instructed Wang Chu, and also taught a one-and-a-half-style mental formula, although there is only one and a half moves, but it is broad and profound, Wang Chu thought about it for more than ten days before he found the way.

After a while, Wang Chu will be able to enter the elephant realm.

Wang Chu's luck is good, after Li Chenbing took Wang Chu without blood, the two of them can be regarded as having a love affair, but it is a pity that the general is busy these days, and the two of them have no time to taste tea and talk about it.

But Wang Chu remembered Li Chen's good in his heart, as long as he entered the elephant realm, Wang Chu's connections and his ability would be able to go further in the top of the clouds.

For the future, people on the rivers and lakes are actually very confused.

Great Qin and Great Wei have signs of war, and once they enter the world of great contention, human life is like ants and mustard.

Wang Chu didn't know how long the façade of the top of the clouds could support, at least for now, there was the Moon Worship Villa in the bright place, and this plain in the dark, camping, building castle houses, and also taking into account the interests of the big guys.

Wang Chu has a little brother who trusts him the most, and when he came to the top of the clouds, he also did a face-saving job, and received a reward of one hundred taels of gold from the Lord, and the next day he went to the house of the girl he liked to say that he was a daughter-in-law.

I am also fortunate to have a relationship with the Lord, and the thousands of miles of smoke and clouds are magnificent.

The top of the clouds can have now, one is because of the Moon Worship Villa, and the other members, the members all know that the lord is the concubine of King Wu, but the people of Great Wei don't know that Yuan Tieshan's favorite thing is his youngest son.

Most people feel in their hearts that in fact, the backer of the top of the clouds is the magnificent Wuwang Mansion.

It is also because of this that the big guys dare to enter the top of the clouds.

As a thoughtful person, Wang Chu also has the reputation of a general in the top of the clouds, although the system of the top of the clouds is the same as the army, all the generals are actually sealed by the lord, and there is no serious official body.

But it's also decent, even if it's a miscellaneous general, but the treatment is here, and many real generals who have killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions may not be able to enjoy the miscellaneous generals on the top of the clouds.

The intrigue of the rest of the camps on the top of the clouds, Wang Chu doesn't care, that's someone else's business, he just needs to do his own thing.

Because of this, Wang Chu was appreciated by Li Chen, and he also had a good impression of the chief manager Lu An.

As for whether there are traces in the Lord's heart, Wang Chu thought to himself, sooner or later, there will be that day.

For Meng Qingqiu, Wang Chu is also very convinced, even if many people look down on this little woman, but Wang Chu feels that there must be something outstanding about being able to follow the core members who are around the Lord.

At least in the matter of killing demon beasts, the scimitar in Meng Qingqiu's hand is very neat, and there is no nonsense.

In general, I can't fault anything.

At the moment, the top of the clouds is still a group of rabble, but after establishing a base here, it is not a rabble, it is the top of the clouds with hard heads.

Meng Qingqiu said to Wang Chu: "General Wang, you will take your brothers to cut down trees and carry timber in the nearby mountains and forests, the timber from the Moon Worship Villa may not be enough, be careful." ”

Wang Chu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After living for such a long time, Wang Chu is very good at observing words and feelings, and can also do everything thoughtfully and meticulously.

In Meng Qingqiu's heart, he also has a good impression of Wang Chu, a lot of hard work, and the first thing Meng Qingqiu thought of was Wang Chu.

Wang Chu is not afraid of work, but he is afraid of not having work.

But in the eyes of the general Gao beside Wang Chu, Wang Chu is a bit of a villain.

Gao Ye, it's really good to mix in Lingzhou, and what he does is to take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, although there is no casino under his hands, there are more than a thousand thugs, if there is any dispute in the local area, if the rest of the gang is in a hurry, Gao Ye has room to interfere.

Or be a peacemaker, or go on a killing spree.

In the government, Takano is more popular, and many things that are inconvenient for the prefectural order to do are served by Takano on his behalf.

Unlike Wang Chu, it was not Li Chen who found Gao Ye, but Yuan Zheng who personally found Gao Ye, and in this matter, Gao Ye also has a confidence that is higher than others.

He has the cultivation of the elephant realm, and his roots are good, if it weren't for the fact that the things on the rivers and lakes are too complicated, if Gao Ye has a good master and concentrates on cultivation, he can still have a greater future in the martial arts, but there is no way, he himself has to eat and drink, and the people under his hands have to eat and drink.

At the beginning, Yuan Zheng chose Gao Ye, and he was also a thousand or so people under Gao Ye's hands, and they were all thugs.

Specializing in solving the underworld, although he didn't do anything good, he didn't do much bad things, and in most cases, they all had different positions.

People are in the rivers and lakes, who hasn't been stabbed a few times.

What made Wang Chu ashamed was that Yuan Zheng found Gao Ye at the beginning, but Gao Ye was still unconvinced, and he fought with Yuan Zheng.

It's a pity that in front of the Lord, Gao Ye's few hard strokes were really not enough to see, and they were easily taken down by Yuan Zheng.

After entering the top of the clouds, Gao Ye has the reputation of General Gao, and he is also a miscellaneous general, but he is much more powerful than Wang Chu.

In the future, if it really becomes a climate, Gao Ye will probably wear a magnificent armor, ride a tall horse, wear a strong and stubborn cloth, and make contributions on the battlefield.

Yuan Zheng also has the heart to train Gao Ye into a serious general, and he has high hopes.

Gao Ye kept a distance from Meng Qingqiu's girl's family, and Gao Ye did whatever Meng Qingqiu ordered, and he never disagreed, because Gao Ye felt that he might not be able to beat Meng Qingqiu in the matter of fighting.

Meng Qingqiu said: "You stood out in the martial arts that selected the talents and talents, and it was a bit condescending for you to come here, but I also need you, maintain the order around you, and also arrange some people to build a road to prevent heavy vehicles from moving here." ”

Takano nodded.

When the top of the clouds first took shape, it was really a mixture of fish and dragons, with helpers everywhere and bosses everywhere.

No one will obey anyone, and no one will fall for anyone.

Yuan Zheng thought of a good way, if anyone thinks that they are good at fighting, they will stand up.

Then there were really eight gang leaders who stood up, one-on-one martial arts competitions, family meetings, who won the most, who was Lao Tzu.

Gao Ye also defeated the other seven gang leaders in high spirits, most of them were acquaintances, and some acquaintances were still enemies.

Then Gao Ye confirmed the name of General Gao, and the other seven gang leaders also became Gao Ye's subordinates.

Of course, there was also a price, and after Gao Ye became General Gao, he returned home and vomited two taels of blood before falling asleep.

There are also some gang leaders who don't like to fight, and Yuan Zheng is more direct, so he will win or lose in calligraphy.

From a person's calligraphy, you can see how a person's moral character is planned, this competition, no need to see blood, no need to be beaten, nearly 20 gang leaders have participated, and some of the gang leaders are really cattle people who have read books.

The final result is that no one's handwriting is considered to be passable, and everyone's handwriting can be said to be scribbled like a dog entering a pigsty.

In no way, Yuan Zheng remembered the matter of bee raising again, the least thing about bee raising is that you must point out a queen bee, otherwise you can't raise bees.

At that time, Wang Chu was not bad, but there was also a literati who had read books to help Dong Wen.

After careful consideration, Yuan Zheng chose Wang Chu, because Wang Chu is sensible, a man and a worker, and a combination of meat and vegetables.

And Dong Wen is somewhat elegant, and there are also some literati arrogance, although the handwriting is sloppy, it is still somewhat level, and he is also a little accomplished in playing tricks.

Yuan Zheng had no choice but to arrange Dong Wen to Lu An's side and give Lu An a hand.

Everyone is a reader, and Dong Wen is also a half-baked person compared to a real reader.

However, Yuan Zheng also counted on Dong Wen to be a dog-headed military advisor in the future and deal with some things that only scholars can handle.

At the top of the clouds, most people are horsemen, and they also have a skill.

There are also people who support the boat to make iron and buy tofu, and for those who can strike iron, Yuan Zheng also has high hopes, and when the iron mine comes, he also expects the blacksmiths to smelt fine iron and build blades.

Similar to the Changbang, many people in the top of the clouds have no blades, and either they are mainly water and fire sticks, or they are purely inferior iron swords, which will be broken when they touch a slightly harder steel sword.

For those who have a skill, Yuan Zheng has no way to arrange them one by one.

Only people with relatively good skills can be selected, and this type of person will either be in charge of armaments or logistics, grain and grass in the future.

The selection of talents and talents, Yuan Zheng also started subtly, and he couldn't put those people in a very high position at the beginning, there were many people and interests involved, and he could only simmer slowly.

Besides, Yuan Zheng also plans that if there are people who really know the art of war in the future, he also plans to suppress the people who are currently being used.

Then again, if the top of the clouds really grows, whether it is Gao Ye, Wang Chu, or Dong Wen, this kind of person will naturally be suppressed by external competitors.

Relying on ability to eat is the criterion of Yuanzheng.

And at that point, Wang Chu, Gao Ye, and Dong Wen naturally couldn't leave the top of the clouds and became a part of the top of the clouds, and at that time, the connections in their hands were not so important to the top of the clouds.

With Gao Ye and Wang Chu here, there is no need to worry about transporting wood and building roads.

Meng Qingqiu said to Wei Chiwei: "When the time comes, the matter of measuring the foundation and building the house and castle can only be handed over to you, sir, and our chief manager will also be responsible for the affairs in the Fengling Mountain Range, which is a big project." ”

"Maybe it just happened to digest the oil and water in the Wind Ridge Mountain Range. ”

"The matter of building a blade has not yet been implemented, because crafting a weapon requires a formula, and my family master has been thinking about it recently. ”

Wei Chiwei nodded and said: "I will look at these things, girl, don't work too hard, build this plain into a city, a prosperous and prosperous city, you can't do it in a year and a half, and in this year and a half, there are still many things for the girl to worry about." ”

"If you can relax, you can relax, we just listen to the arrangement and do things, and the real burden is on the shoulders of our master. ”

Meng Qingqiu looked at this green grassland, there are lakes in some places, and the problem of draft will be solved in the future, and there are also mountain springs flowing in the mountains, if possible, a large river will be opened, water conservancy projects will be built, and fish farming will be irrigated along the way.

Thinking of this, Meng Qingqiu finally understood how hard people worked in ancient times.

"I will, if there is anything wrong with it, I hope that the gentleman will give me more guidance, and the little woman is grateful. Meng Qingqiu said softly.

Wei Chiwei is an old oilman, he is very old-fashioned, and Meng Qingqiu will not rely on his martial arts cultivation to despise this old oilman.

There are many things in this world that will not work without the hard work of the old oilman.
