Chapter 112

Take a remote path from Meiwu castle and go up the north of Qiuye. Two or three miles away is Chen Hai's new grange.

There are more than ten mu of peach trees planted on the beach near the river bank of the Grange. Before the original owner was also elegant, he named the Grange peach blossom dock, but it reminded Chen Hai of the poem "peach blossom nunnery in peach blossom dock, Peach Blossom Fairy under peach blossom nunnery".

As a tributary of Chu River, the water surface of Qiuye river passing through meiwubao is extremely vast. In cold winter, the water surface is more than ten miles wide. The more than 300 mu of good farmland belonging to the Grange was reclaimed by the original owner from this beach and grass.

In addition to a remote access road leading to the Chi road in front of Meiwu fort and the main water road adjacent to Qiuye River in the East, the other three sides of the Grange are covered with weeds and shoals covered with snow.

In summer and autumn, when the water is at its peak, the river overflows, and the Grange will be flooded into an island. You have to wade to get to the gallop road in front of Meiwu castle.

No matter whether the refugees will harm the Gyeonggi area or not, Chen Hai feels that they must take precautions.

In addition to facing attacks from the surface of the Qiuye River, the other three sides of the farm are easy to defend and difficult to attack. After spring, dig a ditch around the shoal and grass. Plant alfalfa and puju grass on 300 or 400 mu of land, which will be directly used as a horse farm.

Chen lie and Su Yuan were also very satisfied with the terrain of Taohuawu.

The old owner is also a villager. In addition to the well-built main courtyard houses where his immediate family members live, there are also miscellaneous service yards where Zhuang Ding and slaves live, which can be used as temporary barracks.

There are a lot of bamboo, wood, brick and stone piled up in the villa. The old owner saw that the refugees in Gyeonggi were suffering and bandits were rampant. He was going to build a walled village to strengthen the defense of the villa, but finally he considered moving his family to Yanjing city. These long prepared building materials were cheap. Chen Hai and they didn't need additional preparation.

In addition to the 200 Hu soldiers, more than 30 craftsmen and craftsmen followed Chen Hai into Yanjing. Everyone worked together to build a simple horse shed in seven or eight days, and more than a dozen bamboo huts were built to supplement the shortcomings of the barracks.

More than 200 guards and horses moved here. Although the conditions were still very simple, they were much more relaxed than crowded in the narrow Meiwu fort; The pine wharf near Qiuye river only needs simple sorting to dock ships.

At this time, Chen lie was busy with Dong pan and Ge Xuanqiao all day, negotiating with the officials of the Taiwei mansion and the envoys of the crane Xiang army, and arguing about the gratitude and resentment and right and wrong of the two armies. Chen Hai left to renovate the peach blossom stronghold. Before the new year's day, they had not entered Yanjing City, but asked Ding Shuang and Zhou Jingyuan to go to the city to choose houses to set up armour shops and escort agencies.

From Yao Xing's fragmented memory, Chen Hai can roughly piece up the prototype of Yanjing City, but he has inexplicable resistance to entering the city. Qi Hanjiang and other Kou slaves are excited to drive them to the battlefield to kill, but they are unwilling to do chores for the craftsman. Only Chen Hai can hold these people down.

Near the new year, a large group of refugees, about twenty or thirty thousand people, moved from the north and stayed in the beach about seven or eight miles away from Taohuawu.

The local soldiers and horses of Gyeonggi Fu County came to drive them away several times, but after each dispersion, they gathered again the next day.

The vast majority of these refugees are ragged, yellow and skinny, and more than half are old, weak, women and children. They gather in the river beach north of Meiwu fort to catch fish, pick wild vegetables or beg for food from nearby villages; Local soldiers can't abuse their swords to kill women and children. They drive them away several times. They don't see the effect, so they don't bother anymore.

Although Chen Hai has long realized that there are a large number of refugees and hungry people in the area of Gyeonggi, he has never left Meiwu castle. This is the first time he saw the existence of large-scale refugees in the area of Gyeonggi, so he dared not leave Taohua dock easily.

It's not their duty to clean up the place. They go out to appease the refugees, which is against the laws and regulations. There is no way for local governments and counties. Chen Hai can only strengthen the guard in the North together with the Wuwei army, road and yamen soldiers stationed in Meiwu in the south.

Two days before the new year's festival, accompanied by Su Yuan, Chen lie rushed back to Meiwu castle from Yanjing city. Chen Qing and Su Ziling also came back from the school palace to celebrate the new year. They also invited Li Yulin and his attendant Le Yi to spend two days in Taohua dock.

Many of the disciples of taiweizong who participated in the selection of the palace of Tianshu academy this time are familiar faces of Chen Hai. Dong Ning, Xie Wenzhuo, Xie Wenchan, Chai Rong, Li Yulin and others will come to see if they have the opportunity to be on the green bird list of Chunwei and become famous all over the world.

Xie Wenchan was severely cleaned up by Chen Hai. Even the nephew of Chen Zhiyi, the leader of the Chen Clan, hid here; Xie Wenzhuo has a weak relationship with this side. Chai Rong almost didn't have the courage to go with him into Yanjing, let alone show his face in front of Chen Hai; Although Li Yulin is arrogant, because of Li Xianghai's relationship, he has also seen Chen Hai's courage and strategy. He is close to the Marquis house of Zhaoyang Pavilion. This time, he came out of the school palace and went to Taohuawu to spend the new year's festival with Chen Qing.

On this day, tens of thousands of hungry people gathered in the North Beach.

For more than ten days, Chen Hai and his team did not have time to build a strong walled wall to protect Chuang Tzu. They only built four simple bamboo buildings at the four corners of the Grange as sentry towers to monitor the movement of the river beach in the north at any time.

From time to time, hungry people will enter the Caoze shoal in the north of the Grange to pick wild vegetables. Chen Hai is both vigilant and full of emotion.

The seventy-two years of emperor Yi Tiandi are about to pass, and he has been in a strange world for nearly two and a half years. He thought that all the people in this world have gods and demons. No matter how hard they suffer, they should also suffer from being trampled by gods and demons. They are as small as ants and unable to struggle. However, he never thought that Yanzhou is also a world full of disasters and famine and the bones of hungry people.

Uncle Chen lie, Su Yuan, Chen Qing, Zhou Jun and Li Yulin all went to Meiwu castle in the south to attend the banquet. Chen Hai was worried about the movements of the refugees on the beach, so he stayed in Taohua castle. He was afraid that something would happen. Coming from Meiwu Castle three or four miles away would also delay the reaction time.

The more it comes to new year's day, the more restless the refugees seem, and Chen Haiyue dare not be careless.

When it was getting dark, Chen Hai stood on the sentry tower in the northeast corner and saw a blue streamer coming from the direction of Yanjing city.

The blue streamer is far away from the peach blossom stronghold, but the sharp Qi machine is like a golden needle stabbing the orifices, which makes Chen Hai very uncomfortable.

What a powerful gas engine!

Whether it's a friend or an enemy, he suddenly rushed directly to the peach blossom stronghold without saying hello. Chen Hai dared not relax. He untied the Bi shadow sword and buzzed. It was said that Wu Meng, Ge Tong, Ding Shuang, Qi Hanjiang and others who drank in the house led the Hu soldiers to wear armor

The blue streamer stopped three or four miles away from the peach blossom dock, but a blue bamboo flute was across the Qiuye river. A Taoist wearing a half old Taoist robe and half black and half white hair stepped on the green flute, glanced at Chen Hai suspiciously, and counted their eyes. He didn't seem to expect that the master had changed here.

Taoist green flute shouted in the direction of Meiwu Castle: "Taoist Ge, in the future, come out and play chess with me for the festival. I haven't killed you for 20 years. It's really itching me!"

"It's said that you've closed the door. I haven't found your figure in Yanjing for half a month. Why did I go crazy here today and find no pleasure?" Ge Xuanqiao's loud voice just came from the direction of Meiwu castle, when he saw a golden light like a rainbow bridge pulled out of Meiwu castle and directly fell over Qiuye river.

Ge Xuanqiao stepped out of Meiwu castle and stood side by side with the old Taoist priest step by step. He saw that they all had the joy of not seeing the old for many years.

This old way of pedaling on the green flute is actually the crazy way Chen XuanZhen, the teacher biography of Tu Ziji and one of the eight sacrificial drinks of Meizhu school palace?

At this time, I saw my Uncle Chen lie, 60 or 70 people such as Dong pan, Tu Ziji and Dong Ning flying out of Meiwu castle to salute crazy Chen XuanZhen.

Chen Hai stayed in Taohua dock these two days. Unexpectedly, Yuecheng Princess Dong Ning and so many taiweizong disciples rushed to Meiwu castle from the school palace for the new year's Festival -- Chai Rong, Xie Wenzhuo, Xie Wenchan and others who usually hide from Chen Hai were also among them.

Chen XuanZhen and Ge Xuanqiao stood over the Qiuye River to talk about the past for a while, and then flew to the Taolin river beach outside the Taohua dock. Chen Hai asked Qi Hanjiang and them to continue to go back to the house to drink and eat meat. He pushed open the firewood door with Wu Meng and GE Tong and walked to the river beach.

At this time, Chen XuanZhen stood on the beach, took out a chessboard with four feet from his wide robe sleeve and put it on the beach. It was obvious that he was prepared.

Chen XuanZhen then took out two wooden chairs from his robe sleeves and handed one to ge Xuanqiao. They sat down beside the chessboard. He looked at the people and finally fell on Chen lie's face. He took out a chair from his robe sleeves and put it next to the chess table and said, "come and sit..."

"I dare not be rude," Chen lie said rigidly.

"You will be one of our generation sooner or later. It won't hinder anything to sit a few days earlier." Chen XuanZhen said carelessly and designated Chen lie to sit over.

Chen lie can get crazy. Chen XuanZhen gives him a seat, but Dong pan can only stand and watch chess. Naturally, he won't be happy, but it's difficult to figure out what Chen XuanZhen means. It should mean that Chen lie can step into the realm of Taoist pills at any time. He thinks that if Chen lie really wants to be able to cultivate Taoist pills, his position in the Wuwei army and taiweizong is beyond the reach of his collateral children of Dong -- so he can balance a little.

Chen XuanZhen pulled Chen lie to sit down, but he didn't stop. He kept taking out a red clay stove, a small table, a complete set of tea sets and tea cans from his seemingly bottomless robe sleeve. Leaving aside his true disciple Tu Ziji, he took out a three or four foot high pot, threw it directly at Chen Hai, who was walking down the beach, and said:

"Look, you are tall, strong and strong. You should have great strength. Help us get a pot of spirit spring water and cut down a few mahogany trees to pour tea..."

Son of a bitch, if you see my affinity, shouldn't you cry and beg me to worship you as a teacher? How can you only get the job of cutting firewood and making tea?

Besides, Chen Hai came to this strange world for no reason. He practiced martial arts, learned riding and shooting, studied casting and carving, but he had no contact with the tea ceremony, and didn't know what rules to pay attention to when cutting firewood and pouring tea.

Of course, Chen Hai just thought about it in his heart. No matter how aggrieved and unwilling he was, he could only reach out to pick up the big belly copper pot that had been thrown in front of him, but unexpectedly, the big belly copper pot was surprisingly heavy, his arms sank, and he was almost hit and stumbled
