Chapter two hundred and twenty one.

The commercial prosperity of Tieyi Town in Dongjiang is concentrated in the border cities of Tieshan Port and Yizhou. After all, it is a military town. After passing Tieshan City, the solemnity of the garrison is revealed. There are many villages along the way, but in front of each village, there are dozens of meters long and wide, four walls, and the roof cover is still solid. The village's grain reserves are all here, and you can still see the muzzles protruding out.

Although he despises the Japanese, the defense system of the Japanese in the village entrance and artillery tower in later generations still brought great trouble. Once the war begins, the population of a village can quickly retract into the bunker building, block the door, and there are no holes on it, and there are only a few windows on the second floor. Even if Jiannu has thousands of troops, he will not be able to do anything to this turtle shell for a few days.

Moreover, after finishing the farm work in the morning, a large group of strong men from the village gathered together, holding a musket and pricking there.

All Tieyi Town, regardless of the newcomers and later members, were all military resident. Mao Jue used the method of managing these military garrisons in parallel with the later commune system and the small peasant system. Those thousands of households and hundreds of households were the production team leader. Although the land was separated and each family worked on their own, at most, when the labor force was strong, the strong men under the Thousand Houses organization came to work together for dozens of miles, and the rest were all from their own families.

But the tax rate is two to one.

If the training time reaches fifteen days a month, the tax rate can be reduced to ten or two draws, and there are rewards such as sea fish, live chickens, pork, etc. in the training elite ward center.

The tax looks quite heavy, but the land is given by Mao Jue, the cattle are from the cottage, and the houses are built by the cottage, and corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other high-yield crops, with a yield of 2,000 kilograms per mu, which is more than twice as high as traditional rice, wheat, and sorghum. Even half of it is enough for a family of three to eat for a year.

But who would like to have too much food in their home? Even if the remaining grain is not eaten, it can be purchased by the garrison in exchange for some fine grains such as rice from Li Chao, and local flour shipped from the mainland. Therefore, the men in the garrison were still very active in training. If it weren't for the age limit, children in their early teens and old men in their fifties would want to follow them to join in.

I went to Yizhou to inspect the border defenses and looked at the left-behind Shen Rong's regiment. With a humming and haha ​​training sound, the carriage finally turned back to the current military center of Tieyi Town, Baima Mountain City.

Although it was a mountain city military fort, there were quite a lot of carriages parked here. The Kong Youde family carriage and Geng Zhongming family carriage, which were separated from Mao Jue in Tieshan, and the carriages of several officers and commanders who were on vacation were all parked here. Seeing Mao Jue's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

The scenery of this place is different from the mainland. It has a war-like style. The gray city walls are integrated, and there is no brick at all. They are all tough reinforced concrete. The guards of the second regiment of the city are patrolling back and forth. There is also a special gun stand with a muzzle facing the sky every ten meters. From time to time, soldiers are constantly wiping with rags.

Many artillery guns at the top of the city of Daming were all accumulated in the eyes of the guns. It can be seen how lazy these local officials were in addition to plundering the people. Therefore, in Dongjiang, on the contrary, each cannon must be wiped at least two sides a day. Mao Jue randomly investigated that if there was rust at the top of the city of the city, the military commanders in this place would have to laugh. The demotion was light, and there were people who went home to grow sweet potatoes.

The meticulousness before the war is a hundred times more, and during the war, these big guys can give you ten times more rewards!

Although this four-wheeled carriage is absolutely luxurious, and it is covered with bear skin and not bumpy, it is also tiring to sit and not move. When he got off the carriage, the old man Chen Guangzuo couldn't help but stretch his waist. He looked up at the evil Baima Mountain City, and couldn't help but exclaim again.

"When I was in the court, I often heard the news that your father Mao Wenlong had lost his salary and wasted his merits. Sometimes I couldn't help but wasting time. Over the years, he has changed, but now, when he is rumored to this city, all the censors who are talking nonsense are farting!"

"If one-tenth of the mainland counties can do this, why worry about Jiannu being rampant and bandits looting?"

It's really rare to satisfy this old man. The old guy is very familiar with him and wants to walk out. While walking, he muttered: "You kid didn't tell your father about my coming, right? Otherwise he would definitely come out to greet me! Well, the county magistrate is better to take care of him now. I'll go see him in person..."

"Oh! What's the matter?"

Seeing the fiery red hair flashing in front of his eyes, Chen Guangzuo couldn't help but be shocked, subconsciously shivered backwards, and then the red shadow hit Mao Jue's arms.

"You are finally back! So cruel!"

Holding Adrena's fleshy waist, he was surprised that this girl was so hot, Mao Jue was quite ashamed. After he finished sleeping, he disappeared after patting her butt for half a year. He felt like a little unfaithful man. He also felt guilty and hugged the girl three times before he got off, stroked her soft long hair, and then smiled helplessly.

"Isn't this back? I want to come back early, but who knows..., um..."

Before he could finish his words, the girl actually kissed her suddenly. In this scene, let alone Chen Guangzuo, Suyi from behind was a little stupid. She was stunned for a full second, and then she smiled awkwardly and pushed Chen Guangzuo to continue walking into the mansion.

"Old Master, my master probably is not here yet. This is the mansion where the young master works. We will finish lunch first. In the afternoon, let's go to see the master!"

"Aren't you here yet?"

Trying not to criticize the young people's hot and boldness now, and thinking about why this red-haired and blue-eyed fairy bit her nephew and grandson suddenly appeared. Chen Guangzuo also had a strange tone and slipped in first after taking two steps in three steps.

The guards had long been used to the foreign lady of their generals. Mao Lu was commanding his subordinates as if nothing had happened and were carrying things in the sour smell of love. As for the two new girls, they were also surprised and followed them step by step. As the way, Yu Le'er was still muttering.

"Where are the fairies coming from here? In broad daylight, they actually do such a miserable thing in public, and General Mao, really, they are really a barbarian!"

Chen Jiaoer crossed the river by a clay Buddha. She didn't dare to interfere with a word, but the two girls were also thumping in their hearts, and their heartbeats were so fierce that they felt a little envious before they knew it.

After a few minutes of showing off the affection, the idle people were exposed. Mao Jue let go of Adrena, looking at her cunning eyes like a little fox, and shaved her little nose helplessly.

"I'm satisfied now? The first lady of the Governor of Dongjiang?"

"Governor Dongjiang is the master, okay? Besides, this time the young master brought back two young grandmas. What should I do if I throw myself aside if I get tired of it?"

It is not a big mistake for this girl to be selfish. Women are all selfish and no one wants to share men with others. Especially Adrena, a lonely woman who traveled thousands of miles to the Ming Dynasty, is even more insecure, so she "declares sovereignty" in this way. However, Mao Jue didn't hate this. She smiled and took a picture of her fleshy peach, and cursed helplessly in the whisper of this girl.

"Okay! I'll sleep with you tonight. All the whips, ropes, and candles are ready. I will surrender you, the fairy!"

The first half of the sentence made Adrena's face turn red, but the second half of the sentence was confused.

What are you preparing these things for?

I had seafood yesterday, and at noon today, I made a distinctive farmhouse banquet with Tieyi, stewed fish with corn flour, stewed with pancakes with pancakes, stewed with mushrooms with Timo, potatoes dipped with farm sauce, corn stubble porridge, wild vegetables, etc. At first, I smelled the sauce, Chen Guangzuo, a gentleman, shook his head, but after eating it, the old guy was overeating and gestured his thumbs up. This is what he called a delicacy.

In fact, Hot Spring Valley is not far from Baima Mountain City, and there are not many places to stop carriages in the Hot Spring Valley Officer Club. No wonder Kong Youde and his friends were willing to park their carriages at Baima Mountain City Military Post. After lunch, they walked down the mountain and arrived in front of Hot Spring Valley in more than ten minutes.

Originally, Mao Jue planned to be a military officer club and only opened it to the army. However, now, it is unlikely that the large merchants in Tieyi Town, the Gao family, the Shen family, and the Li family, all the carriages filled the small parking stations. When they saw Mao Jue coming, the servants quickly came over to greet them.

In early autumn, there is another scenery. The steaming stream flows in a sensation. The maple trees on both sides begin to turn red slightly, with a natural harmonious atmosphere. When you walk into the valley, look at the fourth-story sanatorium building, and welcome the Japanese waitress wearing charming clothes, Chen Guangzuo's mouth twitched twice.

"Just live here?"

Seeing the old guy's expression starts to be bad, Mao Jue couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

"My uncle is right, my father, most of them are here!"

It was still the luxurious hall, and it really felt like a high-end club in later generations. In front of the huge window on the second floor, Mao Jue allowed the elegant people of the Iron-Royal upper class who "get rich first" to wear long gowns like bathing. They were very handsome in the Wei and Jin dynasties. They were talking about business quietly there. There were several hot spring pools, and the most noisy one was the most. They all knew that they were going up the stairs of the east building, and it was still the same big library. Mao Jue carefully pushed open the door. This time, Mao Wenlong did not sit by the bed reading like last time, but was already waiting there with anger.

"You know how to come back! What's going on in Jiangnan? Don't think I don't know! You must be involved in it! There is also in Dengzhou, you dare to make a rebellion! The imperial court's official letters have been sent to me! If you are undefeated, you will be searched, will you not stop!"

"I will kill you, the evil beast!"

To be fair, Mao Jue was in Jiangnan or Dengzhou, making a big fuss, and he was walking on the tip of a knife. Mao Wenlong was almost fifty. He was frightened when he heard this news. It would be strange if he was not angry. But he was wearing a big casual bathrobe. Before he could get the ruler, a roar behind him made the man who had been traversing Liaodong for more than ten years, murdering people, and climbing out of the sea of ​​blood.

"Rareless! What are you going to do if you are little Russian?"

"uncle!"

After many years, I can still recognize it at first sight. Seeing Chen Guangzuo twitching in there, a few drops of cold sweat appeared on Mao Wenlong's forehead for a moment.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

"How can I not come! I heard from the gates that you worked hard to save money and spent a lot of money. Good guy! The wine pool and meat forest have been cultivated here? At that time, I called you for your diligence! You have been so kind to you, are you thrown away? Why did my sister raise you such an unfilial son?"

Although Mao Wenlong is in his early fifties, he is like a child here in Shen Guangzuo. He is so scolded that he can't raise his head. He glanced at Mao Jue who was smirking sadly, and then he drooped his head even more sadly.

"Uncle, it's not what you thought, Zhennan..."

"What's not? Yours is not mine?"

Seeing Chen Guangzuo rushing in in a furious manner, he quietly moved out and closed the door gently. In the shocked expressions of Yu Le'er and two girls, Mao Jue smiled and waved his hand straight to Suyi.

"Stay quickly! Stay quickly!"

Seeing the man who had been in his life running away with two funny and crying vixen, Chen Jiaoer and Yu Le looked at each other, listening to the bombardment of the Four Books and Five Classics of Mr. Shen for a while, after a while, Chen Jiaoer suddenly pushed open the door and also got in.

…………

Mao Jue was not idle in the afternoon. He had left Dongjiang for too long. High-ranking people had to consolidate their rights. In the afternoon, Su Changmei, Liu Chong, and Yin Shu, the manager of the shipyard, were all summoned to the General's Mansion in Baimashan City to report to him. Adrena next to him has always been the role of Mao Jue's confidential secretary, monitoring and presenting evidence there. Don't think of anything hidden from Mao Jue's ears.

Not to mention that he was not here this year, for Tieyi Town, it was a development like a great leap forward. He moved to Liao people from the pass, with nearly 210,000 refugees, directly expanding the population of Dongjiang to an unprecedented 300,000. Pi Island also poured in a large number of people, and the power was heavy. With Mao Jue's support, Su Changmei invaded north without any hesitation. Now a strange political picture is displayed in the north of the Li family North Korea.

The military camps maintained the rule of the Lee Dynasty, but the vast vast areas of empty wilderness outside were all developed by the Tieyi Town Army, and a central ruling city was established separately. Beier No. 2 was originally sparsely populated. For a time, the number of Han people surpassed the Lee Dynasty for the first time. In the north of Ping'an Road, the six counties north of Baitou Mountain were all secretly adjusted to such a meal, and it also developed towards Hamkyung Road south of Baitou Mountain and east of Xuehanling.

According to this trend, it is inevitable to divide the Li Chaobei Erdao.

However, expansion also brings disadvantages.

“Are there not enough food stored?”

Mao Jue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Indeed, more than 100,000 people had just arrived in Tieyi, and they had to wait until next year. For six or seven months, Tieyi Town needed to support it. It was indeed a pressure for Tieyi Town, which originally had a population of less than 100,000.

"Return to Zheng, the food is almost enough, but if this winery continues, I'm afraid..."
