Anyuan Post Office not only has a cave, but also not far from the post station. Standing in front of the gate of the post station, you can see the cave entrance exposed deep in the forest. In this location, the temperature is cool and the groundwater source is very developed, which means it is a good cave. In a good cave, there will be no shortage of natural resources, and over the past tens of millions of years, there will be no shortage of nitrate soil.

Then the question arises - Chen Mu casually explained to the postman Anyuan inadvertently about setting up checkpoints along the road when he is on guard, and he is thinking about how he should bring people up.

It was a good cave, but it was located on the mountain, but the cave was more than ten meters higher than the mountain road.

It is not easy to climb up alone. Moreover, whether it is filtering or boiling nitric soil, water is used. Not to mention whether the water in the cave is enough, it must be difficult to collect, so you need to carry it on your shoulder from the bottom of the mountain to the cave, which is a troublesome.

Although Chen Mu had thought about these ancient methods before the beginning and knew that it was one thing and another to do it, only when he was really ready to take action can he truly realize that he was still too easy to imagine things.

Where is such an easy thing in the world?

Anyuan Post Station is not the small pavilion on the roadside as Chen Mu imagined, but a huge group of houses covering several acres. There are dozens of houses within the high walls, granaries, stables, donkeys, cows and pigpens; there are more than ten postmen, soap officials, chefs, grooms, porters, sedan chairmen, boatmen, etc.

The earliest post stations in the Ming Dynasty were only used for military and national affairs, but just like the very good garrisons, Luze Garden, Yangjiyuan, Huimin Pharmacy Bureau and other institutions at the time, problems arise when a system lasts for a long time. Nowadays, post stations have become a place for officials and their relatives to enjoy along the way. They need a local official's record, so that people and their servants can enjoy all-round care such as food, clothing, housing and transportation for free.

Anyuan Post Station on Qingyuanwei is located in a remote location, and it only receives several counties such as Lianzhou to Guangzhou Prefecture. There are not many pedestrians. However, if it is in the prosperous Yangzhou, a station can send hundreds of servants to a station, and the cost of the station depends entirely on the subsidies of the local county government. A station in Yangzhou pays 100 stones of grain and rice every day, and the extravagance can be imagined. Over time, the station has become a place that brings huge expenses to the local area. In fact, the reform will be implemented long ago.

Later, Huang Lai'er, the postman, became the King of Rebellion Li Zicheng because of the post station.

However, these things have been accumulated for a long time, and they are not related to Chen Mu's business. He is a single military household that no one cares about when he dies. Living a good life is an urgent problem. The national policy should be left to the scholars in the temple to take care of first.

The postmen led them to look at the house they were temporarily living and put down their salutes. The five of them were only six even when Zheng Cong came. The guest rooms at the postmen were very large. They refused the postmen's idea of ​​arranging six rooms for them. They only took one big house and asked the servants to add a few more beds. Then Chen Mu helped the postmen to support them in the matters needed to guard the postmen. Only then did he understand why Shao Tingda and the others said that this was a good job.

"When Jun Ye said, you can only go west on Feilaixia Bridge and the water road. Every day the boatman sails on the river. The sedan chair and the porter and the groom each brings sedan chairs, carriages and horses to attract visitors by the bridge. Jun Ye only needs to assign a military household to set up a checkpoint on the bridge to guard against bandits, and rotate day and night." The postman said with a smile: "But if there are any remaining subordinates under the military officer, it is best to send one more person. The postman comes back to rest at night, which can also give the night-time military households a companion."

Although the postman was not of a rank, he was not an official, but he was a soap official, but his status was not high but not low. From his words, Chen Mu could hear that he did not respect the military households. He called him a military officer, but he was just to himself. The postman was doing the job of welcoming and seeing the nobles and nobles. He was awesome to observe his words and expressions. Chen Mu nodded and smiled. Then the postman smiled and asked the chef to prepare meals for them, and slowly retreated.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" As soon as the postman closed the door and left, Shao Tingda shook his arms and looked left and right in the room. He kept making strange envious sounds. He turned his head and sat on the bed and kept patting the bed with his hands, and said to Chen Mu: "My kid! Brother Mu, look, the house at this post station is better than ours!"

To be fair, although the station is simple in its furnishings, there are at least interior furnishings. Although it is not as cold as the north when the winter months approach, the charcoal basin is filled with charcoal waiting for customers to use at will, not to mention the cleaned house and sturdy beds.

Chen Mu sat down beside the bed, lying down, and couldn't help but sigh: "I finally don't have to be tortured by the broken bed at home anymore - are I stupid?"

Just as he lay down, Chen Xiaoqi suddenly flicked up as if he was electrocuted, and patted his legs and said, "I have money! Is there any carpenter in Qingyuan City who can make beds and tables?"

After all, Qingyuan is also a county town, and Chen Xiaoqi's words looked down on people too much. Chen Mu's big move scared several flag directors in the house. Who knew that he would just say this. Wei Balang, who had just scooped a bucket of water, looked at the water stains splashing on the ground and said it was a pity. Shao Tingda said: "There is on Phoenix Street, Brother Mu, I will order with you when the time comes!"

After walking for half a day, the flag managers were very tired. They sat or lay down for a while. However, Chen Mu rode a horse without any fatigue. He looked at the cave on the mountain wall outside the post station with his hands behind his back for a long time.

Although the food prepared by the post office was not as delicate and delicious as that of the Guangzhou Mansion store, it was sufficiently adequate and Tommy was not short, which made Shao Tingda and several other military households excited. Even Chen Mu looked at the postmen with a little good impression. Anyuan Post Station changed defenses three times a year, and the postmen treated them like this. Some military households even made requests such as riding and horses to postmen, and most of them were allowed. This is not without reason.

In the eyes of postmen, military households are divided into different levels, and those who can be on duty at the post station are undoubtedly the best among the military households. The military households who go down to the land and cultivate fields are naturally the second most and have the lowest status; above them, they are those who are on duty because they have the opportunity to practice and are a little idle, and there is no possibility of defending the enemy, but it is difficult to guarantee that they can catch thieves at the city gate to make some contributions; above them, they are the military households who can go to Anyuan in the southwest or Qingyuan in the northeast. They are leisurely, able to practice and can also intercept thieves to make meritorious contributions. If others don’t say it, they will catch up with the time of good luck. It is possible to raise the flag in the summer.

The postmen who came and saw him know this best. Even if they looked down on the military households in their hearts, they should be well served in food and accommodation. They guarded the Qingyuan Guard and did not offend the officers. Who knows if they would use whom in the future? Anyway, the food at the post station was all from Guangzhou Prefecture, so he didn't feel sorry for him!

After dinner, Chen Mu borrowed a post horse and sent Shi Qi to take Fu Yuan to the Feishui Bridge to patrol, just learning to ride a horse, so that they would not be too idle. He himself took Shao Tingda and Wei Balang to take two axes from the posthouse, walked outside and picked a few trees for Shao Tingda to cut them down. Shao Tingda was naturally puzzled. Chen Mu pointed to the cave and said, "I want to go up, I want a ladder, so you cut down the trees."
