Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 179

Wu Song didn't even sit down to eat, and hurriedly rode on his horse to inform Deng Fei and Sun Xin that they wanted to keep all their Zhuangzi.

Deng Fei was overjoyed. If bandits like them disbanded from the cottage, they would have nowhere to go. Now that someone is willing to take them all in, it is definitely good news for them.

He said that he would send someone to notify Pei Xuan to discuss with Sun Xin.

After these things were settled, Sun Xin and others rode back to Shili Pai early the next morning.

When I returned to my small courtyard, I saw Luan Tingyu and Xiao Zhou discussing the training method of walking and horse coordination. Soon the supervisors of the supervisory committee also came to the small courtyard.

Seeing that Sun Xin had returned, Zou Run looked around.

Sun Xin asked him, "What are you looking at?"

Zou Run scratched his head and said, "Master, where is the horse you bought?"

"What do you think you're buying, so that dozens of horses can drive back to Shili Pai from other places in half a day?"

Zou Run smiled and said: "I also think that now that Master is so rich, he must go out and say a few words to get those bandits to send the horse to the village."

Sun Xin didn't speak, but went out of the yard with arms folded, walked around the field, pointed to a cornfield and said, "Who is in charge of the cultivation of this field?"

Zou Run hurriedly ran to the edge of the field to have a look, and then said with a bitter face: "I haven't seen this place before, so I'm going to tell the contractor that all these lands have to be recultivated."

"As soon as you can see clearly, you will leave the teacher... You didn't tidy up the land at the gate of my yard. Isn't this just scolding?"

Zou Run scratched his head, and everyone behind him laughed.

Soon everyone arrived, and everyone gathered in Sun Xin's courtyard to finish the regular work meeting. Everyone left one after another, and Sun Xin went to Hu Taigong's courtyard.

When he entered the small courtyard, he saw Taigong Hu had set up a table in the courtyard and poured himself a drink.

Although Taigong Hu is one year older this year, under Sun Xin's good health care, Taigong Hu is in better health than last year.

Now even if he drank a little less alcohol, he wouldn't feel anxious and short of breath.

It's just that today he obviously has something on his mind to drink here.

There has been no news from Hu Cai for more than a month, and the road to Qingzhou is not peaceful. The old couple dare not rush on the road with only a few farmer guards brought along. Hu Sanniang has told Sun Xin that he can We can't send a farmer and soldier to escort the old couple to Hucai's Zhuangzi in Qingzhou to have a look. Sun Xin said that there is no problem, but the old couple didn't mention it to Sun Xin personally, and Sun Xin didn't have time to talk about it.

Hu Taigong put down his wine glass and asked, "Why didn't you go to work in the fields early in the morning, but came here instead?"

"Father, there is something I want to tell you all the time."

Seeing Sun Xin like this, Taigong Hu knew that Sun Xin must be busy, so he asked his steward to bring another stool.He said to Sun Xin, "Sit down and talk."

Hu Chen over there also heard the voices of the two coming out of the side room.

Now Hu Sanniang is busy with Internet meetings every day, and she doesn't have much time to prepare meals at home, so the old couple opened a firehouse in the small courtyard, and usually cook meals in the firehouse according to their taste. made.

When Hu Chen came out of the dining hall, he was obviously worried about his second son, and he was somewhat listless, but when he saw the uncle, he still asked, "Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat some here?"

Sun Xin shook his head to indicate that he had eaten before coming, and then Hu Chen nodded and walked into the room, but he was muttering something with a Buddhist beads in his mouth, obviously praying for Hu Cai's safety.

Sun Xin watched Mrs. Hu enter the room before saying to Taigong Hu: "The thing is like this..."

He told Hu Taigong about the situation in Yinmachuan, and Hu Taigong nodded after listening: "Now you want to take over the horse bandits in Yinmachuan, and also want to take over their horse trafficking from Liao Kingdom the way?"

Sun Xin said bluntly: "Frankly speaking, my Sunjiazhuang is already very safe now. Even if these peasants and soldiers guard the village, not many forces dare to invade. But I am only afraid that the situation in Shandong will change this year and next. , Forming cavalry now also means taking precautions.”

Hu Taigong put the wine glass to his lips and took a sip, nodded in agreement and said, "That's true, we need to grab more troops in our own hands, and we are not afraid of any changes in the situation. The problem is that the current situation in Shandong Shidao, can you really guarantee that Zhuangzi can survive? You really don’t want to sell Zhuangzi and go to the city after investing so much money?”

"Daddy, I don't dare to say whether other people's family can survive, but our Sun Family Village is definitely safe and sound. I never thought about giving up Zhuangzi."

"I didn't intend to formally incorporate the people from Yinmachuan into the Sun Family Village. It would be best to open a stockade for them on Dengyun Mountain next to the Sun Family Village."

Naturally, there is no need to say more about Sun Xin's intentions. After all, this is a gang of robbers. If they are recruited to Zhuangzi blatantly, they will probably be given a false accusation. good.

Hu Taigong nodded, leaned on his crutches to think for a while, and then asked: "Then after you have collected those thieves, are you planning to transport horses back from the Liao Kingdom?"

Fifty horses are not enough for Sunjiazhuang at this stage, and he will need more horses to expand his cavalry in the future.

But Sun Xin shook his head and said, "I don't want to go in person for now."

"why?"

"I don't intend to be a horse dealer. After I have a horse source, I don't necessarily need to keep many people in Yinmachuan."

Taigong Hu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, you said that the officers and soldiers dispatched from Jizhou City can beat Yinmachuan to the point of dispersing fire, but that place is not easy to defend and difficult to attack. .”

"When are you going to contact the person who drinks Machuan?"

"They said they would send a letter within three to five days."

"Okay, I'll go with you then."

After saying a few more gossips, Sun Xin came out of Taigong Hu's courtyard, instead of going to the fields, he walked towards the office area of ​​the Supervisory Committee.

This place is a secluded place behind Sunjiaji. When you go out, you will find the street market, and if you walk back, you will see the jute field. There is no such thing as a cesspool. It is a good place to enjoy the rural scenery and convenient for leisure and shopping.

The sun shone in through the screen window. In the office, Sun Xin walked into the room and called out: "Brother Lehe."

Le He raised his head from the table, subconsciously closed the book, and smiled when he saw Sun Xin coming in.

Sun Xin looked at the books on the table, and he learned a lot about governance.

This book is an official engraved book published by the Song Dynasty officials nationwide decades ago. According to this time, Cunshiliang is considered very large, but the full set is still very difficult to find. Although the Sun Family Collection is relatively lively, there is no If you want to find this book in a shop that sells books, you have to go to Dengzhou City to find it. I didn't expect Lehe to be so self-motivated. This book is his professional counterpart.

"What? Do you want to be a prime minister in the future?"

"It depends on whether Master Sun has the ability."

"Then you can learn it first."

Sun Xin's words made Le He think for a while, and his eyes brightened instantly.

He stood up and poured tea for Sun Xin:

"Why do you have time to come to my idle yamen?"

"It's like this. In a few days, I will go with my father to talk to the leader of Yinmachuan. I want to recruit his gang of bandits as cavalry. You are the big housekeeper of the village, so you have to go and see it together." look."

"Row."

"Bring a thousand silver bills, buy those horses anyway, and pay the money from my private account."

Le He nodded and understood what Sun Xin meant. The peasants and soldiers in Sunjiazhuang were all trained by the farmer during the slack season, and the farmer also had a lot of time to devote. But not in his hands.

Now Sun Xin went to appease the bandits in Yinmachuan by himself, and used his own money to buy horses, obviously wanting to turn this cavalryman into his personal weapon.

In the future, if there is any dissatisfaction with the military strength of Sun Family Village, this armed force is purely Sun Xin's power.

Le He thought about all this clearly, knowing that Sun Xin was guarding against them, but he was Sun Xin's subordinate, so naturally he would not say a word.
