Chapter 18 Juxian Village

Chen Wentian walked out of the Huangxian County Sheriff's Office happily. It turned out that he had made a mistake, that is, real estate development in the Han Dynasty was actually very easy. Of course, this was limited to areas outside the city and only required the county government to prepare a case.

That’s it, and you don’t have to pay too much. In theory, building a manor in the wild and unclaimed wasteland requires a sum of money to be handed over to the Shaofu, and the county government registration also costs money, but in fact, will it be collected?

It's just a matter of a word from the county magistrate.

So Chen Wentian went directly to Duan, the governor of the county governor's office. Duan also knew him because he personally handled the case of the Cao Kedong thief. In order to gain a reputation as a talent-loving person, he immediately agreed and waived their fees.

And handed it over to the secretary for supervision.

After all, the land Chen Wentian and the others wanted was not a good piece of land. Firstly, it was far away from Huang County. Secondly, it was not flat and it was close to rocky mountains and dense forests, making it almost impossible to farm. Therefore, they could not pay much money in the first place, and Chen Wentian

In Tian's words, he is very sensible in thanking you for his kindness. If it spreads, he can also gain a reputation as a courteous and virtuous corporal.

So Chen Wentian easily got the land for free. Naturally, he was in a good mood. In this era, it was really easy to do things with reputation. No wonder the nobles were so eager for fame that they even made up stories and hired "water troops" to boast about their reputation.

On the way back to Gongsun Village, I happened to meet Tai Shici who was also returning from some work. He said that he had contacted a dozen hunters and would soon come over to act as guards. The next step was to contact the craftsmen and start work at Dog Mountain! That’s right.

, they finally chose that place, the entrance where they entered this time and space.

The reason is actually simple. He and Lin Lin are curious about what secrets this entrance holds and want to live there to investigate carefully. Also, Dog Mountain is located next to the official road from Donglai to Beihai Kingdom. If they want to do business, store food or something.

It is also convenient for transportation, and there are not many people around. In addition, the hunters who came first said that there are also abundant prey near Dog Mountain, such as pheasants, hares, wild boars, elk, etc., as well as the waterhole where Chen Zhong often went to fish.

The physique of people in the Han Dynasty was generally not as good as that of the surrounding nomadic peoples. The main reason was that they ate too little meat and had unbalanced nutrition. Leaving aside the nobles, it was a blessing for ordinary people in this era to fill their stomachs, and they didn't care whether they were eating well or not.

Therefore, most of them are frail and sick, and the average age is less than 40 years old. Of course, there are many other factors involved in this problem.

However, the physical fitness of these hunters who have been in the mountains and forests all year round is usually better. In addition to constantly exercising their physical fitness in dangerous environments, the rest is the benefit of this meat diet, so Chen Wentian also wants to use this to improve his men, especially those children.

With your physique, you might be able to save some food and grass! Because of the fat, people’s intake of carbohydrates will be greatly reduced, except for people who work hard.

Thinking of this, Chen Wentian was a little excited. This was his and Lin Lin's "inheritance". He casually named it "Juxian Village" just to satisfy his bad taste the day before yesterday. Unexpectedly, Lin Lin agreed.

But these are not critical. The key is that although this place is only temporary, although it is small now, and although it is still deserted, he believes that one day it will become extremely prosperous and vast!

Gradually recovering from the excitement, he found that he was close to his destination, Dry Well in the south of the city. This was a gathering place for various craftsmen and craftsmen in Huang County. Of course, there were also many so-called rangers.

The knights-errants of the Han Dynasty were actually a particularly complex group. Of course, there were some knights who punished evil and promoted good, but most of them were ruffians or gangsters under the banner of chivalry. In fact, the three famous brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang in later generations can be said to be

Rangers, this group is between the common people and the wealthy, and different from the poor. This group is actually a threat or obstacle to the rulers, and most of the time it also endangers the local security. But why was the knight-errant style so popular in the Han Dynasty? Chen

Wentian thinks that one of the main reasons is that Liu Bang was also a ranger, and Liu Xiu also liked to make friends with rangers when he was young, so it was effective. The second was that the governance ability of the Han Dynasty government was really low, so it created a lot of grassroots supervision vacuum, and also gave people

The so-called soil of punishing evil and promoting good.

As he was walking, he heard a sound of yelling and yelling not far away, so he walked towards the sound and saw a group of people dressed as rangers surrounding a middle-aged man wearing the clothes of a steward of a certain family, cursing, as if they were preparing to do something.

The way things are.

Chen Wentian stopped and looked around. Bullying was actually very common in the Han Dynasty, but he still didn't get used to it. And if it was done well, he might be able to win over some loyal and useful subordinates, or at the worst, it could spread among the knights.

spread some reputation

Of course, the premise is that he has to operate it properly and understand the whole story clearly, and it is also difficult for his young body without any force. It would be nice if there were a few guards around. After thinking for a while, he decided to observe it.

See if there is any chance. Anyway, there are a lot of people eating melons around. As long as you don't interfere, there should be no danger. Looking around, he really found an opportunity.

Chen Wentian quickly walked to the children watching on the other side and said: "Xiao Shitou, Wu Sanlang, you and others will go separately to find Brother Taishi and ask him to bring a few more people. I have something to ask him for help."

These children could be considered Taishi Ci's neighborhood boys. They also admired Chen Wentian very much. After hearing his words, they immediately ran away and followed suit. Chen Wentian felt confident and continued to watch the play without making any sound. He also talked to those around him.

Everyone started chatting, trying to figure out the whole story.

It didn't take long for the rangers' attitudes to become more and more severe, and they started to use their hands instead of insults. It seemed that they wanted to beat up the people surrounding them. At this time, Chen Wentian also figured out the whole story.

: The man surrounded is called Qin Li. He was originally one of the core stewards of the Qin family in Huang County. I heard that he was loyal to the Qin family since he was a child and was capable of doing things. I don’t know why he was said by these knights today to be a member of the Qin family.

The leader also said that Qin Li should hand over the stolen goods and not work in Huang County anymore, otherwise he would have his legs broken, etc. Qin Li angrily kept retorting that he was not greedy.

He was framed by others, but he was alone and weak.

"Qin Chi, you are a distant relative of the head of the family. If you are greedy for someone's job, why bother to frame me like this? Now that you have succeeded, why push me to a dead end!" Qin Li saw that the situation was not right and shouted in panic.

"Oh, you greedy villain. Now that you have not repaid your greed, you dare to come here to find another job! Come on, let him know how powerful my Qin family is!" the leader commanded.

A few rangers are about to take action

"Wait a minute! I have something to say to you, Chen Wentian. If you want to take action, it won't be too late."

After Chen Wentian stopped a few people, he pretended to have just arrived and asked about the situation. The Rangers had heard of his reputation and were reluctant to take action immediately. In addition, they also wanted to gain the moral high ground first, so they "added fuel and jealousy" to the arranged story patiently.

Explain it

It didn't take long for Tai Shici to arrive with several hunters and a dozen neighborhood boys. Chen Wentian suddenly turned against him and asked the rangers to bring out evidence and drag everyone to court. The rest of the people also came to help.

The momentum was fierce for a while. When several rangers saw Chen Wentian's large number of people, they immediately hesitated and turned to look at the leader named Qin Chi. Qin Chi's face instantly became uncertain.

Originally, the trouble he came to Qin Li today was because of his own thoughts. No matter how solid the evidence he framed was, most people in the mansion still believed in Qin Li, and they only drove Qin Li out of the Qin mansion under pressure. So he

They could only hire these few rangers to prove the fact that Qin Li was corrupt, but now Chen Wentian made the matter bigger. It would be bad if the master of the Qin Mansion knew about it, so he found a way to leave angrily.

"Thank you so much for your help." Qin Li wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves and thanked Chen Wentian and others with lingering fear.

"Manager Qin does not need to be polite. We have encountered rough roads and tried our best. I just heard that Manager Qin wants to find a job. Why don't you come with me to finish the work and go to Juxian Manor together? I will not treat you badly."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Gongsun Manor, Gongsun Zhi was trembling slightly as he bowed and agreed to Lin Lin and the third lady of the master's family beside her. It was not because he was afraid, but because he was angry. Although this third lady was said to be very coquettish and pretty on weekdays, she never

She came to this manor outside the city, but she has been out of control since the last time she came to meet Chen Wentian. Today she suddenly came here to criticize her. If that was all, who made her deeply loved by the head of the family?

But the key point is that she is here to support Lin Lin, an annoying person who knows nothing about the world.

"The children in the village are weak and ignorant. If they are left here, they will not be able to do farm work and will only increase their troubles. It is better for me to take them and discipline them. In the future, I can help the Gongsun family to gain more wisdom and strength. Their parents are willing to give them the food they need."

Don’t worry about it! What do you think, Steward Gongsun?” Lin Linpi said to Gongsun Zhi with a smile, then turned around and nodded to Miss Gongsun, who had heard about her and Chen Wentian’s deeds.

Contrary to the contemptuous attitude of others in the clan, she clamored to come to see Lin Lin. Within a few days of meeting, she became her crazy fan under Lin Lin's brainwashing! Lin Lin's move was about to begin, and she also wanted to make more money.

There are benefits, so I called the third lady to support me. So far, the effect seems to be excellent.

"I'm afraid it's impossible. Third Miss, can you please take a step to speak?" Gongsun was angry, but his brain was not confused yet. You, the master, are out of your mind and want to help outsiders, so I can't help it, but

I have to make my words clear, and I will not take the blame when others in the clan hold me accountable.

"Why be so secretive? My father has said that brothers Chen and Lin have been kind to my Gongsun family, and they should repay them. Now they are driving people away before the kindness is repaid, but Sister Lin still wants to help the village.

Solve the problem, what else can you say!" The third lady didn't wait for Gongsun Zhi to finish speaking and immediately glared back.

"This subordinate obeys"

"Sister, what you said is serious, but Gongsun Ji's widow hopes to follow us to settle down, and we hope it will come true!"

"this."

"Of course, they can live better if they follow Sister Lin!"

"Besides, it's inconvenient for me to move. Can I borrow some of the carriages and horses in the village?"

"no problem"

"It's difficult to build a new house. If the men in the village are busy these days, can you come and help?"

"Okay, I'll go there too!" The third lady ignored Steward Gongsun's increasingly gloomy expression and started answering directly.

Under the gentle urging of the third lady, and after a "handover", a motorcade drove out from Gongsunzhuang Courtyard and officially headed to Dog Mountain.

Lin Lin was also very happy in her heart. This time she was angry in front of Gongsun and got many benefits, especially these large trucks, which were of great use in transporting building materials and reselling grain in the future. Chen Wentian originally called Chengnan

Craftsmen made some, but there is no such thing as ready-made. Not to mention that it doesn’t cost money, and the material and workmanship are much better than those of scattered craftsmen. In addition, they only took out a small part of the Nanshan thieves’ treasures before, and most of them were just in

The location of the original treasure cache has been moved around. Now that there are manpower, the vehicle must be retrieved immediately to prevent long nights and nightmares.

After everything was settled, they quickly packed up and set off to Gou Shan. On the way, Lin Lin stood up and opened the car curtain, looking at the horse-drawn convoy and the people rushing behind, and suddenly uttered "Juxian Village", and even

The violent bumps on the cart did not affect the happiness on her face.
