A misty rain painting the hometown

"Where did the war start? Why haven't you heard of it along the way?"

"Chao Ya and Meng Sheng fought hard."

With three legs and two ears, is this going to be fully fired?Guji was a little excited, his eyes were shining.Because he had returned to his true colors, the people sitting around saw him jumping like a rabbit when he heard the war, and they were all surprised for a moment.Gu Ji felt that his attitude was not correct, so he cleared his throat.

"Going back to the north in July, only four months. I took Guan Xian and Wang Luo to the south to have a look. Starting tomorrow, we will start to build the Changguyuan and four nursing homes, and resettle the population. The four of Zhao, Yao, Gong and Zhang stayed Down."

Guji took out the blueprint and elaborated for a while.I left five thousand silver bills on the account, and asked Zhao Shu to take Yuan Zhoubai and Ma Ben to Laiming County to ask the original 35 craftsmen and 400 carpenters to buy [-] logs and [-] watts. Get all the furniture together, and then build the Changgu Courtyard.Changguyuan is divided into three rows of houses, three floors on the left, the kitchen on the lower left, the dining hall on the right, and the living room on the upper two floors.On the right is the three-story downstairs with a large toilet room and a large bath room, and the upper part is a wing room.There are three floors facing the gate, the lower part is a large public study room, a small account room, and the upper part is a wing room.There are two bunk beds in the first wing room, and four tall cabinets for clothes, shoes and bedding.Two wooden stands, eight pots and four barrels.It can accommodate six hundred long-term workers.The four nursing homes are triple courtyards, with a total of [-] floors. The lower floor of each building is an empty column school yard for rainy days, the left toilet and the right bath room, and the upper two floors are wing rooms, which can accommodate [-] people.

Three days later, when the fortifications started, Gao Yu asked if the courtyard would be built elsewhere, and Gu Ji just smiled and nodded.Ten days later, outside the Changgu Courtyard, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.Gu Ji, Guan Xian, and Wang Luo each drove a carriage and traveled southward at a slow speed.On the seventh day of April, Gu Ji took Guan Xian and Wang Luo to drive a new carriage to pick two bunches of bananas near the official road in Haitai. Two days later, they left the official road and rested their feet in the carriage near Chibei Village.Banana trees in this village are flooded. After asking, I found out that all of them are not eaten because of the astringency.Gu Ji didn't say much, but bought some ripe banana seeds, went to the nearby market to buy them, and made lunch.

As the weather got hotter, along the road we saw moso bamboo forests with a diameter of about [-] centimeters, grimacing coconuts, and hanging bananas.Ordinary ointment-faced Guji is very itchy, he wants to build a big workshop near here, sell fruits, bamboo products, coconut products, seafood to every corner of Nanzhou, he can't use force, can't he use gold and silver?Gu Ji was destined to own the Southern Continent business empire, and Gu Ji calmed down a lot as his mind surged.

In the mountainous area near the official road, there are bamboo villages built one after another. The big bamboo sea is choppy, much more spectacular than the moso bamboo forest before, and the mountain forest passed by the official road is a wild rubber forest. Guji moved his feet back several times. , The carriage he drove also tried his best to continue southward.Two days later, in front of the horse's head, the blue sea stretched as far as the eye could see, and it was the Yaoxian Sea.

Guji turned back again and settled in Yinanfeng Village.I bought three chickens from the villagers, and went to the nearby ditch to dispose of them. Then I took them back to the car, removed the stove, pot, and charcoal, and steamed them outside the car to eat.

After inquiring about the nearest market in Aozi, the three of them drove straight to the market.At the entrance of the market, a large group of bronze-colored young and strong men stood in a row with their hands and feet bound. When they inquired about the price, they knew that one person would pay two taels of silver. Gu Ji only lamented that this was the authentic slave trade.

He calculated the number of people needed, but the price was low enough, so he planned to pack them together while it was cheap.The promotion of cattle farming requires a large number of people, not to mention that when he returns to the Changgu Courtyard, he needs to buy hot products grown in the mountains.There is still grass growing in most of the mountainous area of ​​the ancient courtyard, which will be taxed this year.Gu Jicai bought three carts of goods, and then went to the market to buy people.

The traffickers were not from Shangming, but from the mouth of the Haikou county government officials, they were war slaves.It was captured by the neighboring country Chaoya's counterattack against the Allied Sheng country, and all land country war slaves were sold across borders, but because of the language barrier, they were rarely sold, but because they could sell one, they could get an increase in income. There can be one less disaster, so I persevere.If they can't sell them within a month, they can only castrate their tongues and stay in remote areas to open up wasteland, but they often end up starving to death.

Guji walked back to look at the group of war slaves, and decided to pack.

I found an interpreter and told the merchant about the purchase. The merchant Er Fou was grateful, and he shook Guji's hand. He had never experienced such a smooth transaction, and immediately wiped off the two hundred and three mantissa.

The translator then translated what Gu Ji said and then listened to the war slave.

"You guys, I bought them all. I will untie your hands and feet later, and you don't have to tie them up again. But if you want to escape, you can do it yourself. I won't chase, let alone report to the police. Those who want to stay, Gu Ji guarantees that you will be able to eat and clothe warmly and have a place to sleep. In the future, you will also be able to own your own yard with your hands and feet, and your wife and children will be able to take care of them, and then the leader will come out."

Two men who were nearly 30 years old stood up, and they turned Guo Shenshen to stare at Gu Ji.Gu Ji gave Er Fou four hundred taels of silver notes, and Er Fou accepted them with a nod and bow.Seeing that Er Fou was still standing beside him, Gu Ji glanced at the yamen servant beside him. The yamen servant drew out his knife and went forward to untie the rope tied to the man on the left.Er Fou immediately turned and ran away.Gu Ji chuckled before continuing.

"Because of the language barrier, I will only make gestures in the future. And you also have eyes and hearts, just read more and follow along. The translator will continue."

Guji did the four actions of quiet, working, eating and falling asleep.

"Quiet, work, eat, sleep."

"Okay, now untie everyone."

More than 200 people are all loosening their wrists.Gu Ji, Guan Xian, and Wang Luo carried a big bag of pancakes and got out of the car, and together with the two men, they distributed a big pancake first.

He gave the translator a tael of silver.Gu Ji pointed to the carriage with the two heads and pointed to the north, and the two heads turned around and chatted a lot before nodding to Gu Ji.

The three carriages traveled north all the way, because the two hundred people were walking, so it was naturally slow.

Along the way, we eat pancakes, steamed buns and steamed pork rice in rotation.Gu Ji didn't count the number of people. When eating, 50 people made a round. Because they are soldiers, they can be ready in an hour.

In Nanfeng Village, Gu Ji rested for two days, bought a pig, and let the two pigs carry it to the river to kill, dug four stoves in the empty forest, chopped firewood to cook for two rounds, and ate a big meal lunch.With the remaining salary, Gu Jiquan used pig offal to make flour whistle.In the afternoon, 200 people went to dig three cages of moso bamboo roots, twenty five-meter-long oak trees, cut down ten moso bamboos, and dug a hundred catties of bamboo shoots.After tidying up and making live root bags, 200 people took turns to carry them in the direction of Falcon County.Because it was autumn and there was a lot of rain, although the giant dragon bamboo and the oak tree were wilted and out of shape, they both arrived at Xiniu Village alive after two months.

Gu Ji went back to Xiniu Village on the 450th, asked Lizheng Hu Yizhi to accompany him to Laiming County, and purchased a thousand acres of barren slopes behind the central pavilion of the Changgu Courtyard, reaching the foot of Niumang Mountain. Xingjun, after taking the land deed, he also transferred the deed of the deserted courtyard, and saw that someone paid for two extra banknotes.

"I didn't bother the county magistrate less. It is always necessary to treat me to a meal. I will continue to nag you in the future."

"Welcome upside down! Is there enough manpower?"

"I bought two hundred war slaves, and I will buy more if I don't have enough."

Ling Xingjun was a little surprised, he forgot that his friend Wu Yiqing was in Haikou County, which is a fertile land.

Back to the village, dozens of villagers were dispatched to clean up the Nanqing Huyuan, Beixuan Huyuan, Xiyu Huyuan and reclaimed wasteland. They built grass and wood sheds near the wasteland and built [-] stoves for kitchens and big meals. Church.In Falcon County, I bought a set of kitchen utensils and [-] sets of autumn clothes, winter clothes and autumn and winter shoes.

On the eighth day of August, in the evening.A group of foreigners came to Xiniu Village.Gu Ji waited at the entrance of the village, and brought two hundred and three people to the Nanxuan Nursing Yard of Changgu Yuan, each received new clothes, divided them into wing rooms, carried wooden basins and buckets, and then divided them into two bathing rooms in turn.

Everyone in the original Changgu Courtyard was busy cooking dinner in the kitchen.

After eating the meal, Wu Mang and Cha Kui, the war slaves, chatted together and looked at Gu Ji from time to time.

Early in the morning, carrying a clapper, knocking for a while, Wu Mang, Cha Kui gathered two hundred and three people in the empty space of the nursing courtyard.Gu Ji first pointed to the east where Chaoyang was located, then pointed to the top of his head, and then pointed to the west, making several gestures for eating.

Wu Mang understood, and talked to Cha Kui for a while, the two looked at Gu Ji and nodded with a smile, and gestured to the slaves.

After using mao rice, I brought hoes and buckets, and planted three cages of moso bamboo and fifty oak trees around the periphery of the four courtyards.

After lunch, Gu Ji arranged for the four of Zhao Shu to take time off to teach Shangming Mandarin to the [-] people.

Before You, more than 200 people were mowing grass on the mountain.Gu Ji wanted to send war slaves into the deep mountains to drive out 200 bison, let [-] people take turns to mow the grass and feed the cattle, clean the cowshed, fertilize and water the trees, bamboo, and vegetable fields, and help build Dongming Nursing Home and Chang ancient courtyard.Land reclamation is all handed over to the villagers.

In September, the Changgu Courtyard was completely completed, and the temporary grass sheds and stoves on the wasteland were demolished, and all the wasteland was reclaimed.There are [-] big and small cows in the cowshed, ten wild boars, five badgers, thirty pheasants, and twenty hares.

Half a month later, Wu Mang, Cha Kui, Cang Zhi, and Bo Xing could already speak common spoken language and could drive a carriage.

Yuan Fei, Qu Xiangfeng took the time to teach twenty-year-old slaves cooking skills.The four of Zhao took turns to take the four leaders to buy, teach numbers and make accounts.

At the beginning of October, the war slaves could speak spoken language, and the four heads were able to talk fluently with Zhao Shu and others, and they also learned the names of the war slaves. Gu Jifang made a roster.

Guji bought four more carriages and ten new carts.80 people were recruited, and eight carts were taken to Haitai Guandao and Nanfeng Village to dig a hundred rubber trees, and fifty cages of moso bamboo were transplanted into a C shape, covering the five courtyard walls of Changguyuan.

At the end of October, Guan Xian, Yuan Zhoubai, Qu Xiangfeng, Cha Kui, and Cangzhi managed a total of 130 people, 2000 cows, seven horses, ten wild boars, etc., and [-] taels of silver were left in the account.

Gu Ji took Zhao Yuan nine, Wang Luo, Ma Ben, Wu Mang, Bo Xing, one hundred war slaves, and two hundred cattle back to the north.

In mid-November, Guji quickly traveled to Caoying County first, met Qingqiu, made up a skinny beggar, and reported the funeral.The ancient mansion stopped for seven days to mourn.Qingqiu ran out of the ancient mansion because of her madness, and her whereabouts have been unknown since then.

Qingqiu dressed up and went to Jianan County to wait for Guji.Gu Ji waited for Wang Luo and his party in Zhaoshan County.On February 110th, Guji brought [-] people and [-] cattle into Jianan County.
