Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 19 smooth
Chen Wentian never expected that everything would go so smoothly, but he did not dare to relax the tension in his heart at all, because he had invested in and even personally participated in many projects in later generations, no matter whether the final success or not, profit or loss No, the process is always full of various difficulties and unexpected variables. Even when he feels that he is safe and success is in sight, there will always be some unexpected problems popping up, so he looks at everyone busy and sits. Think about every detail on the stone on one side.
But he seems a bit out of place by doing this, because everyone in the mountainside construction site on the east side of Goushan is busy, digging foundations, moving materials, building houses, cutting trees and rocks, men, women, and old people are all busy. , Even children, even going to a mountain spring to fetch water for others to drink is a job and a strength.

It has to be said that the labor cost in the Han Dynasty was really low. In addition to the dozens of tenant farmers drawn by the Gongsun Villa, Chen Wentian also hired more than a dozen craftsmen from Huang County. Although these people had mediocre skills, Chen Wentian God they are not going to build some kind of palace, naturally it is very useful, the price is very suitable
Only then did Chen Wentian realize that apart from the low labor force, it was also related to the season. It was already the beginning of October. Although it was the slack time for farming, most farmers in the Han Dynasty would not be idle. They went out to find some Those who do odd jobs, go to the wild to collect all kinds of game, wild vegetables, and wild fruits and want to save some food. Anyway, the purpose is to save more food for the winter. It is very good to get some food outside, not to mention that they not only Taking care of the meal and returning the money, in the eyes of other big families, this is something that only fools can do!

So Chen Wentian and Lin Lin decided to increase the construction area after discussing it. Although they didn't plan to stay here for a long time, there were too many uncertainties in his trip to Yizhou. How long will you stay? Originally, Lin Lin wanted to build part of it first and then slowly expand by recruiting hunters and free tenant farmers, but since the labor force is so cheap, she agreed, so that more children can be recruited earlier to attend classes. !If you leave later, you can sell it for some price
Tai Shici had already recruited fifteen hunters the day before yesterday, and it is said that he is still persuading a few more skilled ones, so that safety can be guaranteed. Chen Wentian divided them into three shifts for guarding and hunting, and did not let them Participate in the construction, because these two tasks are also very important, especially the meat hunted in the Dog Mountain, which can gradually improve the physical fitness of the children, and I believe it will have a good effect after a long period of time. It can be alleviated.

Manager Qin Li, who was rescued by Chen Wentian that day, adapted to the post very quickly. The whole construction site is actually not that big, but the various affairs are still very complicated. Ever since he, Chen Wentian and Lin Lin made a big construction plan , he took care of the rest of manpower deployment, raw material collection and deployment, vacancy check and purchase, food arrangement, etc., and not only took care of it, but also managed it very well. Although the whole construction site still looks a bit messy, everyone even Children have their own division of labor and do it in an orderly manner.

This is definitely impossible without some knowledge and rich experience in overall planning!I heard from Qin Li that he was the leader of the caravan of the Qin family. He also has some experience and even connections with merchants in the Han Dynasty. In addition, he also knows a little about farming. This is really a treasure. Chen Wentian thinks of it every time I can't stop laughing!

It's no wonder that the Qin family said that the family has a great kindness to Qin Li. It can be said that this is true to a certain extent. Haoyou, a nobleman in the Han Dynasty, did the best in cultivating grassroots management talents, which also led to having A large number of low-level talents and cultivated land. Haoyou, a gentry in Wubao Manor, has far stronger control over the local area than the imperial court and local governments at all levels. Even the decrees of governments at all levels often rely on their power to implement them in the fields.
"Brother Wentian, drink some water too." Gongsunjuan's timid voice interrupted Chen Wentian's thoughts and brought him back to reality. Unlike other children, the two brothers and sisters, Gongsun Qi and Gongsun Juan, are very smart. After all, he was born in a poor family, so he can learn everything quickly.

"Don't give him water, everyone is busy, she is the only one who is lazy!" Chen Wentian smiled when he saw Gongsunjuan's timid look, and was about to take the earthen bowl filled with water, when he was greeted with a smile from a distance. Lin Lin who came over interrupted.

"Haha, sister Lin, you are joking. My brother was thinking about something just now. After thinking about it for so long, I want to drink water. You have done a good job. Go on and give it to others!" Chen Wentian was at a loss when the little girl heard the joke. Cuo laughed out loud, took the water bowl and drank it, then handed it back.

"Mr. Chen, are you really used to being exploited by capitalists, so you just sit here and enjoy what you get?" Lin Lin walked to Chen Wentian and found a smooth and clean stone and sat down. Although she pursed her lips, her voice was still lowered down.

"This is not a joke. The world is so big in the future, and there are so many things to do. If we have to do it ourselves, we will be exhausted, and"

"Okay, I know you have a lot of nonsense, I'm not here to listen to these things, let's go, you come with me to the city to meet someone"

"Who are you seeing, how can we walk away now?"

"Come on, who said just now that you don't need to do it yourself? Guanshi Qin is so capable, so don't get in the way here. Since we have a lot of things to do in the future, we naturally need to find more helpers!"

"Well, you don't want to go to the city to buy orphans again, do you?"

"Those children who sell themselves for various things are really pitiful, and I will be a part of our strength after I bring them back and teach them well, but today I really went to see a capable person! Remember what I told you last time Mrs. Yun? I have inquired about it. Her delivery skills are well-known. I remember you said that medical technology in this era is very backward and is not taken seriously. Wouldn’t such a person be very useful in the future? And I think she likes it very much. The child I brought back last time named Xiao Shitou, might as well let him recognize Mrs. Yun as his mother, maybe he can pull her over!" Lin Lin looked at the helpless Chen Wentian and became more and more excited as she spoke
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liu Yan and Liu Junlang also went smoothly.At this moment, on the official road close to Luoyang, his car and a group of people are marching towards the capital of Dahan. From a distance, the whole team seems to be unremarkable except for the neat formation, but if someone who understands military affairs closely observes their If you look at the weapons, inner armor, especially the equipment supplies hidden on the large carts at the rear, as well as the physique and spirit of everyone in the team, you will find that this is an extremely elite army, and it has always been very expensive. army.Such an army in the Han Dynasty with low productivity is definitely enough to prove the strength of its owner, not to mention that this is only a small part of the guards.

"Erba, what do you think the lord will be rewarded for calming the chaos in the snowfield this time?" Not far behind the car in the queue, a tall and strong man with a diagonal cross scar on his face scratched his head with an unnatural expression. Smile was immediately chatting with a small officer of the pro-guard who was holding a command flag beside him.

"Come on, iron barbarian, my lord has made many achievements over the years, we... don't laugh at the fuck, who can guess it? I think you want to ask yourself what rewards you can get, are you still paying for it?" I am thinking about the little lady in Su Zhai, and I want to get a reward so that I can propose marriage, not to mention that the brothers didn't remind you, it is a scholarly family, it will be difficult for you barbarian to marry into the family...Aha, ahahaha..." Before the words fell, a group of people around laughed loudly.

"Why, I just like it. You guys won't be able to enjoy this kind of blessing in the future..." Tie Manzi cursed with a red face and grinning.

"Hey, look, I just said that Tieman is a lover, don't look at him as a barbarian... Hahaha, now that you have made such a great contribution with the lord, the brothers are just waiting to eat his bar... "

Several personal guards spoke to each other along the way, and there were no other people in the wilderness, so they had no scruples. In addition, the veterans had a loud voice, so the team of hundreds of people could basically hear it. Liu Yan was in the car. Naturally, I can hear it, he has never stopped this kind of thing after leading the army for many years, even if something is discussed about him, it is the same. After listening to a few words, he gradually fell into deep thought...
The ancestor of Liu Yan was Liu Yu, the king of Lu Gong, who is also the son of Emperor Jing Liu Qi. It sounds very noble, but what was useful to him was only his status. Since the reunification of Liu Xiu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ancestral temple was re-established. Although it was still Han, Although the Liu family is still the world, many things have changed. The princes surnamed Liu left over from the Western Han Dynasty are basically gone. The few who can get out of it all rely on their own ability and hard work, and Liu Yan is the most famous among these clans in the current dynasty. A model of success.

Since he became an official in the second year of Jianning, Liu Yan has been on the rise for ten years. Compared with other clan talents, he is lucky. Fortunately, his father left him with the contacts of the Xun family. Fortunately, his master is Xun Fortunately for Xun Shu, the patriarch of the family, the incompetent Liu Hong has been pretending to be crazy, and the luckiest thing is that Liu Yan is capable, so everything will come to fruition...

In the second year of Jianning, he served as the governor of Jincheng in Liangzhou. In the third year of Jianning, he was promoted to the order of Luoyang to suppress the Qiang chaos. In the fifth year of Jianning, he participated in the extermination of the general Dou Wu. General Anxi led the partial army and followed General Zhengxi to conquer the country of Cheshi and was defeated. In the fifth year of Xiping, he worshiped General Zhenxi and went to quell the chaos of the Di people in Xueyuan until today...

Liu Yan's step-by-step walk is actually a great feat, but every time everyone thought he would come to the front of the stage to shine, he quietly left the political core, and even his daily behavior was quite low-key, which gave people a sense of humiliation. A feeling of caution.

Many people don't understand why he is like this, but he has to give up when he can get more benefits, just like when he was promoted to Luoyang Ling, just like when he was the governor of Jizhou, he took the initiative to apply for a transfer soon after, you know These are the core positions of the big man, but Liu Yan is very clear that this is a brilliant strategy for him to protect his life and secretly cultivate forces to jump out of the situation...
Since he had a few secret interviews, he has roughly understood Liu Hong's plan, he has also roughly understood Qingliu's thoughts, he can also guess a little bit about the eunuch's plan, and he has also sent people to find out the movements of the remnants of Long Wei. He even knew the plans of the Xun family and other royalists, and he couldn't help laughing when he thought of this: "It's clear to the bystanders, I, Liu Yan, will be the last fisherman!"

The discordant sound of speeding gallop suddenly broke into the sound of horseshoes running steadily. The courier of the general's mansion arrived and sent letters collected by all parties. The general conquered the bases in the Western Regions, Liu Yan returned to Beijing and ordered his eldest son Liu Fan to take charge of the overall situation in the mansion, but most of the decisions were made by Liu Yan himself, so most of these letters were actually documents for approval and some information from various places.

Liu Yan habitually glanced at it quickly, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose again, because all the deployments in the government were progressing smoothly:

Adopted son Liu Gui reported that the newly recruited [-] cavalry army has been formed and is strengthening training, so that his army will reach more than [-] cavalry troops. This is the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the future, because no one knows better than him. chaos...;
The second son, Liu Dan, reported that the personnel sent to open up the commercial road from the Western Regions to Shu had returned. According to him, he started from Qinghai County, which was newly opened by General Longwei, which was located in Jiuquan, south of Zhangye County and west of Xiping County. Keep the map and travel southeast along the Yellow River to Jishi Mountain for more than ten days, you can enter Yinping County, Yizhou. The plan to widen the road, build bridges along the way, and establish sentry camps is under discussion. If this commercial route is successfully developed, it will bypass many The original level and the longer journey will surely become his exclusive road to wealth...;
In the end, the eldest son Liu Fan reported that the expansion project of Linshi City was being stepped up and was expected to be completed next year.This time he quelled the rebellion of the Di people, and newly expanded the land of Huangsha and Linshi counties, both of which were built fortifications. However, in all the residence reports to the imperial court, there was no mention of Linshi County, which is located in a river valley with a better environment. It was originally a newly added place, and the imperial court would not go into it. Liu Yan arranged his own manpower to disguise this county and city as the pioneering place of the Han people, and gradually transferred the family's property and personnel in recent years. so far.

In the car, Liu Yan held the letter tightly and could not relax for a long time...
