Chapter 11: When you encounter governance, you will be in danger.

As the Tang Dynasty established its country in Guanzhong, as time went by, especially the great victory in Hedong, the price of land in Guanzhong also rose with the water. The fertile land that was originally 8,000 to 10,000 yuan per mu has now soared to 20,000 yuan per mu, and there is still no market price.

Chen Ying had only the fields given to him, but these lands were far away in Pengcheng. Pengcheng now only belonged to the Tang Dynasty in name, and Chen Ying had only nominal possession of three thousand acres of land, but he had a grain of grain for these three thousand acres.

However, Chen Youxuan bought 3,000 acres of land located just one step away from the eastern foot of General Mao Mountain east of the Ba River and the Kuyu River from Lantian County, but became a laughing stock in the circle of Chang'an nobles.

Although Qinglinli is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, it is closer to Lantian County, sixty miles west of Chang'an City. In this era, even if you take a carriage, it takes two hours to walk 60 miles. Of course, this is not a thin field. On the contrary, this land is sandwiched between the Bianyu River, the Ba River, which is convenient for irrigation and is a good fat field.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this is a very dangerous land. This land that was first belonged to the Hou Hou of Shanggu. Hou Longen, Hou Wanshou's brothers and his cousin Hou Zhi all defected to Yuwen Hu and became Yuwen Hu's minions. Hou Hou's family was soaring to the top. Hou Longen was granted the title of Zhuguo and Gong Gao. He gave this land to Hou Longen to become his land.

In that year (572 AD), Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Yong, used a trick to kill Yuwen Hu first, and ordered the arrest of Yuwen Hu's son Tan Gong Yuwen Hui, General Ju Duke Yuwen Zhi, Duke Yuwen Jing, Duke Zhengping Duke Yuwen Qianjia, his younger brother Yuwen Qianji, Yuwen Qianguang, Yuwen Qianwei, Yuwen Qianzu, Yuwen Qianwei, and Yuwen Qianwei, the northern native of Zhuguo, Hou Longen, Hou Longen's younger brother Hou Wanshou, General Liu Yong, Yin Gongzheng, Yuan Jie, and Li An, the senior official of the Ministry of Food and Drug Administration, and others. Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Yong, eliminated Yuwen Hu's party and was awarded great meritorious officials.

This was rewarded to Yuwen Zhi, a great hero who helped Yuwen Hu to eradicate Yuwen Hu. Unexpectedly, two years later, Yuwen Zhi rebelled and was executed by Yuwen Yong. The land changed hands again and became the honorary field of the Great Governor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Right Doctor, the General of the Cavalry, the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, the Jingzhao Yin, and the Duke of Dongping County. Yuwen Shenju once followed Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to fight against the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Turks, and suppressed the rebellion, suppressed Jihu, and made Jihu resigned again. Later, he was sentenced to death in Mayi by Emperor Xuan of Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yun. At the age of 48.

Within nine years, the master changed his family three times, and the three masters were destroyed one after another. This land was gradually feared by others. Some people also did not believe in evil. That is Shi Wansui, the general of the four nobles in the Sui Dynasty. One day, Shi Wansui passed by this wasteland and asked his entourage in surprise: "The land here is good. There is the Ba River in the west and Jieyu River in the east. It is easy to irrigate. Judging from the growth of the weeds here, the fertility should be good. Why is there such a large wasteland near Chang'an, where every inch of land is valuable?"

The entourage told Shi Wansui that this was a very evil place. When Shi Wansui heard this, he laughed and said disapprovingly: "It's simply a wasteland." Shi Wansui bought this wasteland for only 10 million yuan, which is equivalent to one-third of the land price in Guanzhong. However, since Shi Wansui bought this land, Shi Wansui followed the army to defeat the Turkic army and killed thousands. He continued to follow and chase hundreds of miles into the desert and returned triumphantly. Because Yang Su was afraid of him, he weakened his contribution. Shi Wansui was dissatisfied and argued with the court and Yang Shu, and was ordered by Yang Jian to stand in the palace and kill the hall.

From then on, this 3,000 acres of fertile land was completely turned into wasteland and was abandoned for twenty years.

Chen Ying naturally would not be afraid of the so-called evil land. To put it bluntly, the deaths of Hou Longen, Yuwen Zhi, Yuwen Shenju and Shi Wansui, their deaths have reasons for death, and they have nothing to do with the death of this land. Chen Ying didn't care at all.

The autumn was clear and the air was cool. Chen Ying slowly came to the clear forest while sitting in a four-wheeled carriage that used spring steel to create shock absorption devices.

Chen Ying came to the bank of the Kuyu River in Qinglin and looked at the endless wasteland on the west bank. The withered weeds grew very lush, most of which were more than four feet long.

Looking at this land that belongs entirely to him, Chen Ying felt very comfortable. Due to the twenty years of desolation, not only were there countless weeds growing in this land, but there were also many trees, some poplars, pine, mulberry and willow trees as thick as bowls. Looking at the wild ducks flying out of the weeds, Chen Ying's face appeared with a faint smile.

Xu Jingzong looked at Chen Ying and said, "Mr., this place is a great evil and hurt the Lord. Why don't we look for it again?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "No, it's already very good here. Liang Zan!"

Liang Zan bowed and said, "The disciple is here!"

Chen Ying said: "Give the remaining money to Wannian County, recruit people immediately, circle the periphery with earthen walls, and clean the weeds inside. As for how to plan it, follow Ge Tong's arrangements. You will be responsible for this in the future!"

When Liang Zan heard Chen Ying's words, he felt sad.

This is because Chen Ying no longer needs Liang Zan as a personal guard. In fact, Chen Ying gave Liang Zan a lot of opportunities, but these opportunities will be wasted in vain. Chen Ying is still a nostalgic person and did not kick Liang Zan away, but gave him a position as the manager of the outer court.

Liang Zan actually didn't want to be the manager of the outer court, but wanted to be Chen Ying's personal guard, but he was so incompetent. Although he felt very uncomfortable, Liang Zan still recruited people according to Chen Ying's order.

Chen Jinyong led sixteen personal guards, joined forces with more than 20 apprentices of Ge Yong, holding knives, axes and saws, cut down the straight poplar trees in the weeds, and then divided them into sections, cutting the wood for nearly an hour. The sixteen personal guards dug trenches with shovels, and waited until the sun began to set. The first batch of craftsmen recruited by Liang Zan arrived here.

Chen Ying looked at the wooden stakes cut by the guards, sawed them from the middle with saws, buried them one by one on the ground, and then nailed them together with wooden nails to form a wooden wall. The branches were weeded into a wooden mat like weeds and soil, spread them on the wooden mat, and then covered them with soil. The roof formed by two mud and three mats was not afraid of wind and rain.

Until the sun sets, a wooden house is built.

Lan'er, Hongxiu, Tianxiang, Xu Erniang and others came to the wooden house in a carriage. Lan'er jumped out of the carriage first, looked at the wooden house in surprise and said, "Langjun, is this our new home?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "How is it, do you like it?"

Lan'er shook her head and said, "I don't like it."

Chen Ying said: "If you don't like it, go back to the city to live. I like it, freedom, no restraint... After a pause, Chen Ying said to Xu Erniang, Hongxiu and Tianxiang, "The same is true for you. If you don't like it, you can go back to the city."

Xu Erniang was behind and suddenly found that Xu Jingzong was blinking at her. Xu Erniang said knowingly: "I am willing to stay and serve the Lord!"

Lan'er said, "I won't go back either. When the husband led the army to fight, Lan'er could not follow the army. Wherever the husband went, Lan'er would go..."

As she said that, Lan'er directed Hongxiu and Tianxiang to unload the goods from another carriage behind. Several servants from the Chen family carried a bun, and the charcoal was covered in the hut. They placed the charcoal in the wooden house to burn it and dried the moisture inside.

When the charcoal was burning out, Lan'er directed the servants to move tables, boxes, soft couches, candlesticks, and bookshelf into the wooden house. With these things, they were placed into the wooden house one by one, and if the large wooden house became a worldly atmosphere.

Chen Ying was lying comfortably on the soft couch in front of the low table, holding a small red mud stove in a small copper pot, and cooking tea in a small copper pot. Seeing Chen Ying silent, Xu Jingzong asked in confusion: "There is a song by the son: The water of Canglang is clear, so that I can wash my tassels; the water of Canglang is turbid, so that I can wash my feet... Is it because of this that my husband stays away from the court?"

"I understand this. My cousin explained to me: A gentleman will be in charge when dealing with the world, and he will be in danger when encountering chaos..." Xu Erniang came in with a food box and interrupted, "It turns out that the husband wants to be a hermit."
