(Busy, cold, stomach pain, these three mountains have been tormenting me for a few days, it's really hard, sigh.) ）............ In the tenth year of Qingli, Fan Xian came to Shijia Village for the first time, a secluded mountain village that he called fish intestines. This mountain village seems to be remote and peaceful, deep in the mountains, but the lights in the dark night are so dazzling that they actually overshadow the stars in the sky, which is touching.

There must be more than 10 families in Shijia Village, and on the road leading from the avenue to Dashan Pass, there are far more than 10 farmers by the spring next to the fields. Those farmers are not real farmers, but inspectors who are used to block off the inside and outside of the mountains and keep the secrets of the mountains.

Fan Xian was able to pass through these defense lines and easily enter Shijia Village, because these defense lines, these extraordinarily detailed arrangements in terms of security, were originally made by him. The defensive arrangement, which gathered the wisdom of countless officials from the Second and Sixth Divisions of the Supervision Yuan, was indeed very powerful. Of course, when Fan Xian was making plans, the officials of the Supervision Yuan only knew some fragments, but they did not expect that these drawings in the northeast of the mainland would become a reality on the periphery of a small mountain village.

Walking along the mountain path, I just passed a pond and looked at those densely packed and scattered buildings, revealing their true faces under the starlight. Fan Xian's heart moved slightly, and he was content here, secretly sighing to himself, thinking that even if people from outside occasionally strayed into this place, just looking at the buildings outside, I am afraid that they would only think that it was a huge manor built by a wealthy family in the mountains.

As soon as he stopped, his figure was revealed in the starlight, and then a dozen crossbow bolts poked out of the darkness and aimed at him.

Fan Xian lowered his head, hid his face in the dark, and lifted the coat and hat behind his back to cover his head, before taking out a small token on his waist and shining at the crossbow arrows with murderous intent.

A man who looked like a long-term worker walked out of the night, cautiously approached Fan Xian, took the small token and looked at it seriously for a long time before waving his hand to make the crossbow arrows disappear in the darkness behind him.

Changgong led the way in front, leading Fan Xian around the bluestone road between the courtyards, and came to a remote place, confirming that there was no other person watching, then he landed on his knees, knelt down, and said excitedly: "See Lord Tisi." ”

Fan Xian looked at him with a smile, one of the first members of the Qi Nian group, and he was also a good hand that Wang Qi Nian helped him to store back then. I hadn't seen him for more than two years, and this secret agent obviously didn't expect that Lord Xiao Fan would suddenly appear in Shijia Village, and he was excited.

"It's been hard for you in the past few years. Fan Xian looked at the long-term worker and said, "Don't leak the news of my arrival for the time being, take me to see a few old shopkeepers first." ”

"Yes. The chief worker bowed and saluted respectfully, and suddenly said, "The old man also came two days ago. ”

Fan Xian was shocked and asked, "When is it?"

"Eight days ago. ”

"Take me to him. ”

............ Two dark figures walked through the buildings of Shijia Village accompanied by starlight, Fan Xian couldn't help but look at these buildings with a different height from ordinary houses, looking at those specially designed doors, windows and ventilation equipment, and secretly thought, I don't know if it is empty or already full of things.

Although the qiē in this village was built bit by bit through the silver he provided, after all, the relationship was heavy, so in the past two years, Fan Xian and the qiē here have been separated, including his most loyal subordinates in Jiangnan, who did not know that he actually hid such a village in a corner of the mainland.

This is also the first time Fan Xian has come here in person, so while he is moved and nostalgic in his heart, he can't help but be a little curious, I don't know what those people, those silver, and those drawings have become into this village in more than two years.

The two of them walked to a small courtyard in the depths of the village, and the room was still dimly lit, reflecting Fan Xian's shadow very thin and long, hitting under the stone steps. Fan Xian whispered a few words to the secret agent of the Qi Nian group, the secret agent smiled, and then withdrew, and did not arrange anyone to take care of the place, if someone can really go deep into Shijia Village and threaten Lord Xiao Fan, then it will be superfluous to send someone else.

Fan Xian tidied up his clothes outside the room, walked in, knelt down on his knees to the middle-aged man with a solemn face behind the bookcase, made a big salute, and said sincerely: "The child has seen his father. ”

Fan Jian, the retired head of the household department, did not be filial to his mother in the city of Shanzhou, and traveled to the sea with the Liu family, but appeared in this small mountain village at the junction of Dongyi City and Northern Qi, which is really an unexpected picture.

Fan Shangshu looked at his son in front of him, the surprise in his heart flashed, and he immediately became complicated, smiled gently, and helped him up. The father and son haven't seen each other for more than two years, and Ben is also worthy of Fan Xian's kneeling ceremony, but the former Shangshu knows that his son is not a horn sè who likes to kneel, and from this kneeling, he also noticed something.

It's just that Fan Jian didn't open his mouth to ask, and Fan Xian didn't say that from his sister's mouth and the story back then, he had guessed what kind of painful price Fan Fu had paid for his survival.

"Father, why are you here in person?" Fan Xian sat down on the chair with his father, looked at the faint white hair on his father's head, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, counting the years, his father should also retire in his hometown, but because of his own affairs, he was still tired of the old people in the past two years, especially when his father came to Shijia Village in person, which made him feel a little surprised.

Fan Jian smiled slightly, and said: "Although my father is in Shanzhou, he can also remotely control the construction here, but in the past three years, the preparation of Shijia Village has been almost done, if you really have the courage to rebuild an inner reservoir here, I will not come to the town in person, I will not worry about it anyway." ”

It turns out that this remote Shijia Village actually carries such a big ambition for Fan Xian!

Since the time of the rebellion in Kyoto, Fan Xian secretly rescued several old shopkeepers of Qingyutang out of Beijing, plus he presided over the inner library for a long time, as early as a few years ago, he copied the inner library technical sect in northern Fujian, plus his current financial power, and the innate things in his soul that has crossed over, if God is really willing to give him ten years, maybe he can really make this remote mountain village become a second inner library.

It is the foundation that supported the military strength of Qingguo for 30 years, and it is the inexhaustible source that the Qingguo Emperor used to supplement the treasury and the people's livelihood.

But Fan Xian actually wanted to rebuild an inner library outside of Qingguo!

There is no doubt that this is the most important decision Fan Xian has made in his life, if this decision really becomes a fact many years later, the whole world will change its appearance because of this incident, and Qingguo will no longer be proud of the natural capital of the world.

What exactly does Fan Xian want to do?

............ For example, today's general trend is complicated, and this matter is a key event that shakes the foundation of Qingguo, so in the past two years, Fan Jian and Fan Xian, father and son, have done extremely secretively, and the progress has been extremely slow, just to not attract the attention of the world, and there is no luxury of speed.

If there is really a second inner library outside the border of Qingguo in the future, I don't know what kind of strong blow and damage this will bring to Qingguo's national strength. So this matter, Fan Xian hid it from everyone in the world, and only dared to carefully consult with his father in secret.

"You've been away from Lanzhou for a long time, I'm afraid it will lead to discussions. Fan Xian did not rush to discuss the issue of the second inner library with his father, but said with a slight worry.

Although Fan Jian has returned to old age, but looking at the means of the emperor Xi Xi à borrowed a sword to kill people and slaughtered more than 100 tiger guards, His Majesty Xi à did not trust this cronies and partners who grew up together since childhood, and wanted to come to Lanzhou City, there must be many court stationed eyeliner, if Fan Jian was not willing to retire in Lanzhou and leave the news of Lan Zhou, he should immediately send it back to Kyoto.

"Your Supervision Yuan has combed it again in Shanzhou, and the people who are fathers have combed it again. Fan Jian looked at his son and smiled gently: "His Majesty does look invincible, but he is not a god after all, his jīng power is limited, and it is impossible to grasp all the subtle changes in the world, especially if you are hiding it from him in secret." As for my departure from Shanzhou, I was originally going to wander in Dongyi City. ”

The smile of the former Shangshu looked a little interesting: "Before my father entered the household, he was a famous prodigal son in Kyoto, and now he has returned to his hometown, and it is natural to go to these prosperous places in Dongyi City to paint beauties, and His Majesty can't be angry for this reason." ”

"Still not right. ”

"I only come in once in a while to keep an eye on progress. ”

Fan Xian looked at his father, and in addition to worrying, he felt a little more sorry. He didn't want his father and Chen Pingping to get involved in this extremely dangerous matter, but about the matter of Shijia Village, at the beginning, he had no clue at all, how could he rebuild an inner library from the emptiness? He is not his mother Ye Qingmei, although he has a ready-made one in his hand, the old shopkeeper of the Ye family who has experienced the construction of the inner library in northern Fujian, and he also has a large number of records of various technological processes in the inner library, and even the setting of the three squares of the entire inner library in northern Fujian is extremely clear, but to build a new inner library, he still feels confused and retreating.

On the eve of leaving Kyoto, Fan Shangshu talked with him all night, relieving him of many doubts.

When Fan Shangshu found out that his son was preparing to rescue the old shopkeepers of Kyoto Qingyutang by taking advantage of the rebellion of the eldest princess, he knew what Fan Xian was thinking in his heart, so he said to his son openly and honestly:

"It is more difficult than you think to build another inner library, which is originally a great thing to shake the national system of Qingguo and change the general trend of the whole world. That night, Fan Shangshu said to him earnestly: "My father is a native of Qingguo, of course I don't want you to do this, but if you can convince me, you can leave the beginning to me." ”

Fan Xian didn't think about breaking with the emperor of Qingguo at that time, nor did he want to become a sinner of Qingguo, and put his Qingguo, which was good at Si, into possible danger, but he still subconsciously began to dig the foundation of Qingguo.

He persuaded Fan Jian with only two sentences.

"It's not Neku, it's something that Mother left to the world. If her mother was still alive, she would not have wanted His Majesty the Emperor to use her legacy to satisfy her personal ambitions. ”

"But your mother also wants the world to be unified. ”

"I don't know the mysteries, but I know women. On that quiet night, Fan Xian said to his father very seriously: "I only know that if my mother lives, she must not want the wealth she left behind to be forever in the hands of the man who murdered her." ”

Fan Shangshu was silent for a long time that night, and then nodded.

............ That's just over two years on. The father and son, who have flowed the most money in their hands on the mainland, began to secretly do this thing that is destined to shock the world. Perhaps what the two of them did was too incredible in itself, so no force had found a trace of rumors.

Of course, this is also because of Fan Xian's extreme caution, for more than two years, except for the secret flow of money, he did not use any power at hand to help the growth of Shijia Village. This small village is like a child who has been herded, slowly growing up among the green grass in the mountains, and as for whether he will continue to herd sheep or be herded when he grows up, it will be many years later.

Fan Jian didn't ask him, if many years later, if there were really two inner libraries in this world, what would Fan Xian do with Shijia Village. Fan Xian didn't ask his father, as a subject of Qingguo, why he made such a choice just because of the grudge between his mother and that emperor, Lao Tzu.

The old shopkeeper of Qingyutang, who escaped from Kyoto, came to Shijia Village, and the craft secrets stolen by Fan Xian from the inner library came to Shijia Village, and the most secret strength in Fan Shangshu's hands also came to Shijia Village, and the silver money that Fan Xian collected from all over the world also came to Shijia Village, and came to the depression deep in this mountain.

Secrets, money, and force have been fermenting in this obscure small place for two years, even if the Fan father and son are careful, Shijia Village is ready to expand, and is ready to build a foundation, ready to become the second inner library.

That's why Fan Shangshu asked the black-clothed swordsman to talk to Fan Xian, and he needed a lot of silver.

At this point in time, it was actually much earlier than Fan Xian had expected at the beginning. Because from the beginning of the decision, he never thought that he could be compared with his mother Ye Qingmei - it didn't take many years for Ye Qingmei to build the inner library, it was because the entire Qingguo royal family was supporting her, there was Uncle Wuzhu to protect her, and her ability was already too much better than Fan Xian.

Fan Shangshu obviously saw Fan Xian's doubts, and said with a gentle smile: "Those old guys in Qingyutang were all old people who participated in the construction of the inner library back then, and this second job is always more convenient. ”

Fan Xian shook his head with a smile and responded, "But it's still faster than I imagined." ”

"When I was repairing the inner library...... Fan Shangshu seemed to think of the hot scenes in the wasteland of northern Fujian many years ago, and laughed, "Your mother is actually impatient and unwilling to deal with these small affairs, and the fifth child is a person who will not open her mouth once a year, so these small things are all done by me." ”

It turned out to be the chief worker who built the inner library back then, so it is no wonder that Shijia Village will develop so rapidly. Fan Xian looked at his father, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart, secretly thinking that His Majesty the Emperor was so jealous of his father, and he did not hesitate to lose more than 100 tiger guards, but also scraped his father's strength in Beijing, and there was a reason.

"And the location of Shijia Village is good, you haven't been here before, so I don't have a chance to tell you. Fan Shangshu was still smiling, but the red silk in his eyes showed tiredness, after all, he was also old, whether it was in Shanzhou or here, this former Hubu Shangshu was in charge of such an important matter, and his mind was extremely consumed.

Fan Jian spread out a large map on the table, which was flat, Fan Xian leaned over, and looked at the markers on the map by the dim light.

His eyes gradually lit up, the geographical location of Shijia Village, as his father said, is very wonderful, if the road to the southeast can really be opened in the future, reaching the coast of the East China Sea, it is very simple to touch Dongyi City, but if Shijia Village has been quiet, the people outside don't know what is happening inside.

"If you want to do it soon, there will inevitably be a large number of materials coming in, and you can't move like the ants did in the previous two years, which will definitely attract a lot of attention, so even if your money arrives in the account, don't worry about it or not. Fan Jian saw the faint excitement in Fan Xian's heart, and reminded with a smile.

Fan Xian's smile immediately became bitter, if you really want to turn Shijia Village into the inner treasury of northern Fujian, recruiting workers is one of them, a large number of materials entering is one of them, and it is impossible to hide the simple blast furnace and those jīng steel settings from the eyes of fools, I am afraid that everyone will guess what is going on here.

As for the importance of Neiku to Qingguo, as long as the imperial court discovers the slightest change, His Majesty the Emperor will not hesitate to send troops to the north to attack, and at any cost, storm Dongyi City and destroy the prototype of the new Neiku in Shijia Village.

"Of course, even if His Majesty sends troops to attack, the location of Shijia Village is peculiar and easy to call for help, and it is not so easy to attack. Fan Jian's thinking at this time was not like a minister of Qingguo, but more like a traitor and thief, he said indifferently: "Shijia Village, this is Yejia Village, your mother's subordinates back then, most of them were from this village, in order to keep the secret here, so Yejia Village went to a mouth, and it became Shijia Village today." ”

"And this village was originally the first place your mother chose when she built Neiku. ”

It's just that for some other reasons, she relocated the location of the inner library to northern Fujian, which is very close to Quanzhou. ”

"When we choose Shijia Village again, we believe in your mother's vision. Fan Jian looked at Fan Xian calmly and said: "This position, except for your mother and the fifth child, only I knew that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the key was that this was a place where none of the three forces in the world could fully devote themselves." ”

Fan Xian was silent for a long time and said, "I'd rather be cautious and slow than let His Majesty detect any clues." ”

"Your mother is no longer there, just with our father and son, although we have so many innate advantages in our hands, it is impossible to build an inner library in Shijia Village without a few years of work and the power of a country. Fan Jian closed his eyes slightly and said, "You decided to move Neiku out of Qingguo, you just wanted to use this pretext to threaten Your Majesty, and it was necessary to be cautious at the beginning. ”

was broken by his father's light words, but Fan Xian was not the slightest surprised, and said softly: "Even if it is a disguise, you have to do it more seriously, and who knows what will happen many years later? ”

"So the moment you agreed to put a lot of money into Shijia Village, I began to doubt. Fan Jian opened his eyes and sighed heavily, "Do you think Your Majesty will really do anything to Chen Pingping?"

Fan Xian was silent for a moment and then said, "I don't know. ”

Fan Jian's eyes forced him coldly: "What if His Majesty really moves?"

Fan Xian was silent and didn't answer this question, just thinking about the ten villages where his cloth shoes were stepping on.

This village is still very quiet now, but it will be extremely glorious in the future, no matter how things develop within the Qingguo court, no matter whether there will be a big war in the world, but Fan Xian always has an attitude in his heart.

The inner treasury is not the inner treasury, it comes from a certain world, and should benefit the people of the world, and cannot become the logistics department of someone's thousands of troops.

Presumably Ye Qingmei also thought so.

Someone kills himself, and his own things have to help him fight the world, if Ye Qingmei knows this, his heart will definitely hurt.

Fan Xian felt very sorry for his mother who had never met, and the more he pityd, the more he didn't want her to feel heartache.

............ If it doesn't work, it's ruined.
