After Chen Yougen left, Shao Xun accompanied Mi Huang around the neighborhood, mainly to select nodes to hoard military grain and grass.

This kind of node should be close to the front line, which is convenient for transportation, but not too close, so that it is easy to be attacked.

Chose and chosen, and finally chose the ancient city of Anyang.

This city is located in the southeast of Shaanxi County ten miles, it is said that there was during the Warring States period, and later repeatedly repaired and abandoned. Now the county is governed in Shaanxi, but this city is somewhat dilapidated, after a rough repair, or can be used as a warehouse city, hoarding materials.

Shao Xun also went to the east of Anyang for a stroll and found a place with an excellent location to build a dock fort wall. However, considering the strength at hand, he finally gave up, and said it later - this place is later known as Kip Shi Township, located on the road leading to Michi in Sanmenxia, there is a long section of official road built in the middle between the mounds, deep and narrow, straight as a line of sky, surrounded by mountains and rivers, there is a dock fort in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tang Zhenguan was placed in Kun County, and the county was once located in Kip Stone Dock.

After collecting a circle of grain and grass near Shaanxi County, Shao Xun got another 30,000 Hu, so he sent people to Jinmen Village to reserve it.

At the end of February, the army marched westward, passing through Caoyang Ruins, to Hongnong - Caoyang Ruins, which was the place where Emperor Han Xian returned to the east and exposed the second.

At this time, Chen Yougen had already arrived in Wenxi, and after waiting for a few days, he met Pei Kang on the day of the Cold Food Festival.

Pei Kang was dying, but after reading the letter, he was still very angry.

In the past year, he has received several letters from his family, and when he often sees the name "Shao Xun", he feels unhappy.

Although the atmosphere of the national dynasty is extremely open compared to the former Han Dynasty, and the scholars gather at every turn, drink and sing, and pull women to have fun together, but Pei Kang is still very unaccustomed to it.

The Later Han Dynasty took Confucianism as a classic, and did not like women to learn too much, and the rites of this dynasty collapsed, and women got a lot from elementary school, such as a subset of classics and history, music, dance, and cooking, and even how to take care of the family business, which seems to be on the wrong path.

In February and March, women and men played pitching pots together, stroked the piano and chanted poems, he used to think it was nothing, but now he has a daughter, and he is in a bad mood.

I've been married to Sima Yue for ten years, and I've only known that Shao Xun for three years, so I changed my mind?

He grimaced, annoyed. But after being annoyed, I was a little worried about this daughter who married far away.

In the past few years, he is the only one of the four brothers who is still alive, and even among his children and nephews, someone has passed away.

When people are old, they are nostalgic for the old, and they are more concerned about their children.

Pei Kang sighed, picked up the porcelain bowl on the table, and began to eat.

Chen Yougen sat on Pei Kang's left side and drank porridge silently.

The custom of the Cold Food Festival, the fire is forbidden for three days, and the barley porridge is made.

So what he would drink was wheat porridge.

The porridge has almond ground cheese and maltose, which is sweet and silky, and very delicious.

At this time, Yunzhongwu, even if it is a cold food festival, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat these things.

Barley doesn't necessarily have.

There is no money to buy almonds.

Honey is even more luxurious.

He deeply felt that the Pei family seemed to be different from them.

Concubine Pei grew up eating these things since she was a child.

When he was a child, he ate grass roots, caught voles to satisfy his hunger, and went down to the river to touch fish, and almost drowned.

Is it really appropriate for the general and the Pei family to get together?

Two bowls of barley porridge were quickly eaten.

The servant and maid immediately stepped forward and put away the dishes.

Pei Kang ate slowly, and after a long time, he wiped his mouth with a silk silk and said, "The guest will accompany the old man to go out for a walk." ”

Chen Yougen is not an ordinary person, he drove for the Son of Heaven, was elected by the imperial court, was awarded the ninth rank official body, and even more - he was a close confidant of that person, Pei Kang still maintained the most basic respect for him.

As for the knights of the teaching team he brought, they didn't look at it much.

Two handsome maids stepped forward and hugged Pei Kang.

Chen Yougen silently followed.

They came to the edge of a wood, and there were many pines and cypresses.

In the distance, there are large houses, high and low, scattered and orderly. Looking at the way the servants came in and out, it seemed that there were many people living there.

"It's been two hundred years...... Pei Kang pointed to the huge courtyard and said: "Since the beginning of the Later Han Dynasty, the Wenxi Pei family has slowly developed from a strong and strong family, and finally reached the first-class family in the north. In the past two hundred years, the descendants have prospered, and there have been generations of talents, or studious and tireless, or honest and diligent, or strategic, or excellent martial arts. Great, brilliant everyone. The children and grandchildren of the third generation do not live apart, and the family is happy. Clansmen, rich and poor, from far and near, all know how to eat from afar. The poor and orphaned, the nurturing and inspiring, the powerful, the ......"

Pei Kang said very emotionally.

Chen Yougen listened drowsily. But the meaning is that he understands that the Pei family is a big family with an extremely deep heritage, not only are there people in the court who are continuous officials and big officials, but the local strength is even more terrifying.

I am afraid that there are hundreds of clansmen living within the third generation, and there will only be more families outside the third generation. If there are some talents among these people, the host family will deepen the connection with them and provide assistance.

Chen Yougen deeply doubted that the officials of Hedong County were more or less influenced by the Pei family? Even, many officials themselves are descendants of the Pei family, or their in-laws, protégés, and old friends.

These great families! I'm afraid that only a ruthless person like Zhang Fang can deal with it.

"Since you are an official, you must not be a fool who does not know the world." Pei Kang turned around, looked at the cemetery in the other direction, and said: "My Pei family's ancestors are buried here, the family business is here, the clansmen are here, and relatives and friends are also here, so I can't leave." ”

"This ......" Chen Yougen was a little anxious, but he was clumsy, he didn't know how to say it, and in the end he only jumped out of one sentence: "If the Huns go south, these will be destroyed, and nothing will be left." ”

Pei Kang smiled.

He shook off the maidservant, walked a few steps in the field with his hands behind his back, and then pointed to the blue and white wall that was faintly visible on the other side of a small river, and said, "That is the dock fort, but my Pei clan has more than one castle wall." Each dock fort is centered on the children of its own clan, with the tribe as the backbone, and the villagers or the displaced people absorbed as the soldiers. Governing the people is like governing the army, and the upper and lower levels are one. If the Xiongnu send a large army to come, regardless of casualties, they can indeed break through my Pei's dock fort, but then why bother? Cooperation is two benefits, and competition is two defeats, Liu Yuanhai is a smart person, he is not so stupid. Even, he will give the Pei family more benefits, so that the Pei family can get greater power that cannot be obtained in the Great Jin Dynasty. So, what do you say? Should I go? ”

"If I am a Hun, I will definitely break through the dock fort, and Weifu will be self-controlled." Chen Yougen was not convinced and said strongly.

"Yingchuan Yu Gong Yu Shu Bao knows, right?" Pei Kang asked.

"Yes." Chen Yougen heard Shao Xun mention this matter, and Zhao Wanglun established the "priest" of Yushanwu when he usurped the throne.

"It's good to know, and the old man will save himself from wasting his tongue." Pei Kang said: "Uncle Yu has done a lot of things in Yushanwu. Steep and dangerous, Du Qi path, repair the wall dock, tree barrier, test merit, measure the ruler, all work and rest, pass or not, complete the equipment, measure the ability to do anything, the thing should be appropriate, so that the city pushes its long, pushes its virtuous, and the body rate. ”

In short, after Yu Gon built Yushanwu, he first improved the grassroots organization and divided the fort households into grassroots units.

Swear with them: "No danger, no chaos, no violent neighbors, no house-pumping, no wood-picking people, no conspiracy, no unrighteousness, one heart of effort, and compassion for the needy" -- these are the chapters of the covenant and the establishment of a rudimentary legal system.

In addition, an assessment system and a statistical system have also been established.

Strict management, lead by example, work together, implement rationing, eliminate waste, and communicate with each other.

On the military side, they hoarded a large number of supplies and fortification equipment, sent people to set up fences, and faced the enemy head-on, while monitoring jungle paths that might be missed to avoid sneak attacks.

Finally, put the right people in the right places, there is no waste with him, and everyone's strength must be harnessed.

In this way, Yushanwu was extremely clean and orderly, so that Zhang Hong's officers and troops did not dare to attack.

"Uncle Yu was born in the Yingchuan Yu clan and has never been an official, but he is just a soldier. There are many people like him, my Pei family. After saying this, Pei Kang looked at Chen Yougen and said, "I know that there are some people under your father-in-law, who taught the young man two or three years ago to be coarse and can do simple arithmetic, but he can manage the dock fort roughly." But being able to manage and managing well are two different things. The owner of the dock who has the ability can make the whole dock have a bumper harvest of corn, and the cattle and sheep can be wild, and the whole dock will not delay the exercise. The dock owner who has no ability can only barely make ends meet, and even can't make ends meet, do you say the gap is big? Your father-in-law needs the Pei family, doesn't Liu Yuan need it? ”

Chen Yougen had nothing to say.

No matter how tough he is, he has to admit the fact that there are indeed many talents in the family. Not only the talents of their own clan, but also many small scholars, small tyrants, small wealthy businessmen, and local officials who were influenced by them.

General Shao only has three dock forts now, and he can still spare his energy to ask, and in the future, the territory will be large, and it will be impossible to cover everything, so it depends on the ability of the people below.

Thinking of this, Chen Yougen was also annoyed.

If he had followed his temper in the past, he would have brushed his sleeves away a long time ago. But he was entrusted by the general, but he couldn't be so reckless, so he could only snort coldly and vent his dissatisfaction.

Pei Kang didn't care, smiled, and said, "I'm old, and sometimes I don't know what I'm thinking. ”

Chen Yougen looked at him blankly, what does this mean?

"Hua Nu is my eldest daughter, she was very clingy to me when she was young, but she was disobedient when she was older." Pei Kang looked at the ground with a worried expression, and only after a long time did he say, "You go back." ”

Chen Yougen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"After some time, the old man asked Liu Anzhi to take five hundred Shu brocade south to Yiyang, and asked the general of the Lingjia family not to run around." Pei Kang had already returned home, and his voice was still heard from afar.

He wanted to say a few more words, but he thought about it.

The daughter is ignorant and shameless, but the father can't help but think about her. The ugly affair between her and Shao Xun can't be known to more people.

If he has time, he also has to go to Luoyang.

On the one hand, I will meet old friends, on the other hand, I will knock my daughter, don't fall in love with adultery, don't pay attention to anything, so that outsiders can see the clues.

It's really worry-free.

Chen Yougen smiled.

The old thing still thinks about the three holes of the cunning rabbit in the end. What's so bad about Hongnong? If you get some people out, you will have a better chance of winning. What if Liu Yuan was dizzy, and he had to compete with the Pei family to the end?

However, who is Liu Anzhi?

Nobody, but want to come to Yiyang to point fingers, and let the general greet him?

He was too lazy to care, and left to join his men.

This mission, there should have been no failure, which made him feel very good, and even hummed a slang tune: "If a man wants to be healthy, he doesn't need to have many companions." Harriers fly through the sky, and flocks of birds wave in both directions. Hehe, what kind of family, isn't it still bluffed by the general? Wait until the other day to raise an army of 100,000 people, and scare you to death. If you are not scared to death, I will slaughter Wang Yan in front of you, and see if you are afraid. ”
