Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Hao Fenglou was quite enthusiastic about Shenwuwei, and even lost the affairs of Qianhu to Zhou Fang, and he was tired of being with Zhu Zhiling every day.

For him, since Shenwuwei is an underground organization, there must first be a stronghold, and the most important thing about this stronghold is that it is secret enough, Hao Fenglou rode a horse, circled around Nanjing a few times, and finally targeted the western foot of the Purple Mountain.

It is not far from Nanjing City, but it is only half an hour away, and because it is close to the imperial mausoleum, no one walks around in the vicinity, as for the land, there is no need to buy it, and the palace directly gave the land of ten miles nearby to the Hao family in the name of Ci Tianzhuang.

The nobles of the Jingshi, large and small, have their own granges, the Hao family also gave a lot, three hundred households, but there is a fixed number of acres near Nanjing City, as early as the Taizu period has been divided into seven or eight, to now the heroes of Jingnan are all waiting to be fed, as a last resort, the reward given by the palace has shrunk greatly, this is the duke of a thousand households in the city, it is good to give three or four thousand acres of land, as for the Hao family such an earl is even more cold, so far there has been no movement.

And now that the land has finally been given, many meritorious people immediately blushed when they saw it, because many people have not yet given the land, and they have a title but cannot collect rent, and it is really difficult to rely on a little money.

But seeing that the Hao family suddenly gave land, although many people were red in the eyes and ears, but after inquiring again, it turned out that the grange that was given was actually in the Purple Mountain, and those who were eager to cry poor suddenly stopped.

Fools understand that this Purple Mountain is not a good place, it is indeed close to Jingshi, but the land is not fertile, there are too many mountains and forests, and there is no benefit.

Some people even whispered, this Hao Fenglou doesn't seem to be as simple as the rumored in the emperor's heart, otherwise His Majesty will not give it, but give it to the Hao family, if it is really valued. It is necessary to give a piece of land in Jiangning County.

These gossips did not ruin Hao Fenglou's interest, he and Zhu Zhiling rushed to the boundary early in the morning, there are overgrown weeds, there are some farmers nearby, but it is very rare, some of the areas belong to the forbidden area, fortunately, there are no people to garrison. The people of the Terracotta Division were too lazy to come for three or two months, and the location of the main garrison of the Praetorian Guard was the Imperial Mausoleum, which was more than ten miles away from here.

Naturally, those peasant households still have to stay, whether it is to hide people's eyes and ears, and the grain that is cultivated and paid for can also be hoarded.

As for the house. Hao Fenglou has also been prepared, specially designed a courtyard building similar to the shape of a hollow square, the triple can be defended, the courtyard wall must be high, and there must be a corner tower, so that people can keep an eye day and night to prevent outsiders from approaching.

Houses and sand were built in it. In the name of the nursing home, a group of people were recruited, and there were coaches, so there was no hurry for the time being, and the house was built first, of course, it was not so much a house as a castle, because this castle was in the mountains. There is a lake in the north, the terrain is high, if you want to go up, you must pass through the cableway, as long as you hold the cableway, you can be a husband and a man.

Such a terrain is of course extremely beneficial for concealing secrets and defense, but the disadvantages are also obvious. It's just that it takes a lot of effort to build and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

And Hao Fenglou is very simple, in terms of money, he has enough budget. After all, there is Donghua Gate, the peace money in January has been as high as nearly 30,000, with the development of these days, the entire Inner Dongcheng has followed suit, except for thirty percent into the palace, two components down, the rest of the fifty percent can be moved out. It's just that manpower is not easy, it is necessary to let the local conscription labor, let people quarry stones, and open the way, which is easy for Hao Fenglou, he is determined to find Yao Guangxiao.

In Jiming Temple, Yao Guangxiao was not surprised by Hao Fenglou's sudden visit, he smiled slightly, called Xiao Shami to serve tea, and said: "Your intention, as a teacher, I have long known, there is no impermeable wall in the world, how is your Shenwuwei now?" ”

Hao Fenglou was embarrassed, this emperor Lao Tzu remembered to keep secret what he said solemnly, and he must not let people know, but he ran to sue Yao Guangxiao.

But then again, Yao Guangxiao is the first think tank of the Son of Heaven, and Zhu Di will not hide many things, after all, Yao Guangxiao knows too many secrets, not bad for such a thing. Zhu Di did not kill people, naturally because he completely trusted Yao Guangxiao.

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly: "The student is here for this divine martial guard. ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled: "Did you bring tofu?" ”

Hao Fenglou hurriedly took out a piece of water tofu tied with lotus leaves, and said, "It's a little meaning." ”

Yao Guangxiao nodded and said, "Let's eat tea first." ”

Hao Fenglou took a sip of tea and said: "Master, the student is a little troublesome, if this Shenwuwei is to be built, it must be kept secret, and if it is to be kept secret, it must be kept secret, the student plans to build this Shenwuwei in the mountains, but it is necessary to build a large number of buildings, and it cannot be done without a name, so please ask the master to give some convenience." ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "You continue. ”

Hao Fenglou said: "That's the case, the master can write in the name of asking His Majesty to build a temple in the student's fiefdom, as long as His Majesty agrees, the imperial court will have the name to build a large number of buildings there, so that the counties can collect people and open mountains and quarry." ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "Do you want to build a fort for yourself in the name of building a temple as a cover?" ”

Hao Fenglou nodded his head and said, "That's what it means, anyway, the master is his own person, and he can go there to live there when he has time." ”

Yao Guangxiao frowned and said, "In this case, I'm afraid it's too protracted, right?" This fort will not be built in three or two years. ”

Hao Fenglou blinked his eyes and said: "Your Majesty naturally knows what our master and apprentice mean, as long as the master hands over the book, His Majesty is willing to spend effort, recruit more people, and use thousands of people, plus the students know that there are still a lot of remaining stones piled up in the imperial tomb, and even the effort of quarrying can be saved, and the fortress can be built without half a year." ”

Yao Guangxiao looked at Hao Fenglou and said: "You are thoughtful, not only use the teacher as a shield, but also use the emperor to cover up for you, and you are even worried about the stone." ”

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly: "The student is just doing things for His Majesty, His Majesty has said that it is not so simple to completely eliminate Jianwen, if you don't even have this little capital, how can you catch Jianwen?" ”

Hao Fenglou is very confident in Zhu Di's support, because according to many wild historical records, Zheng He's seven trips to the West are likely to be to find the traces of Jianwen, and Zhu Di can provide almost unlimited manpower and material resources in the search for Jianwen, and the manpower and material resources required for these seven trips to the West are enough to support a protracted war. And Hao Fenglou just hopes to build a fortress on the mountain, and it is very clear that it is used to recruit people for training and as a base camp, in this regard, Zhu Di has no problem.

And the role of the master is actually to cover people's eyes and ears, this is a secret, of course, can not be publicized to people, and Yao Guangxiao happens to be a monk, the emperor built a temple for the monk is simply a fucking thing, all dynasties, I don't know how many emperors to monks, Taoist priests in the mountains to build temples, it is simply a commonplace.

Yao Guangxiao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Hao Fenglou, you are moving the master's coffin book, do you know that if the master is on the book today, there will be no chance to build a temple in the future." ”

This is the truth, there is only one opportunity to build a temple, if it is used up this time, the next time you can't still be cheeky and say that you want to build a place, and now what you want to build is not a temple at all, it is more like a semi-military facility, and Yao Guangxiao will have to stay in Jiming Temple honestly in the future.

Hao Fenglou said: "The master is very kind, and the student understands." ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled bitterly: "Okay, who told you to come to the door." However, what an apprentice, you are responsible for the rest of the master's life. ”

Hao Fenglou burst into tears and almost choked up: "Master, I will be responsible for you." ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "Do you want to make a note?" ”

Hao Fenglou wanted to squirt blood, but forced a smile and said, "No need, we don't have to be so vulgar between master and apprentice." ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "It's better to set up one, and when you get it, you won't have anything to rely on when you roll up the bedding and go to your house, and it is inevitable that you will be uneasy as a teacher." ”

Hao Fenglou almost had internal injuries, his face was red, and he finally spit out a word: "Okay." ”

Yao Guangxiao quickly brought pen and ink and brushed it a few times: "I have a beloved apprentice Hao Fenglou, who is deeply taught by the teacher, as well as a number of benefits, and the heart of repaying the kindness, although it is not enough to die, I am willing to worship the teacher and provide him with food and drink......"

Presumably the manuscript has already been ready, so Yao Guangxiao wrote very quickly, a few efforts, the ink has not dried a 'guarantee' in front of Hao Fenglou, Hao Fenglou angrily painted, Yao Guangxiao happily accepted, and said: "Good apprentice, this Jiming Temple, for the teacher has long been unaccustomed to living, the pure place of Buddhism is too quiet and not good, although the heart of the teacher is to the Buddha, but can not stand the stinky monk here, the Buddha is in the heart of the teacher, where to practice is the same, for the teacher to move to your house next month, you need to Ling Zun, Lingtang said hello early, cleaned up a courtyard, and then invited a few novices to serve as a teacher, this person is not picky, but the teacher will occasionally get fishy, but after all, he is still a disciple of Buddhism, and he can't do it every day, so he has to invite a few chefs who cook food, and he knows that there is a man surnamed Zhou in Nanjing's Wangyue Tower, who has a good hand in his hand, and he can be invited to go, and there are ......"

Hao Fenglou glared angrily and said, "Master, it's better to write a recital book first." ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled faintly and said, "Don't be angry, write it for the teacher." ”
