(Head trouble, I will update today, and I will make up for the third update tomorrow. Thanks to the book friends "Snail is writing", "Dongting Feng", "I smile at the cat little", "I have a lot of 8, is it going to be sent to the Southern Dynasty?)

The Chen family held the banquet for three days, and invited neighbors and relatives from all walks of life, which was very lively. Many local gentry officials came to congratulate them.

In the evening of the fourth day, Chen Sanlang closed the door for a meeting and asked about the purchase of land.

Uncle Hua replied: "Young Master, there are not many fields in the nearby area that are willing to sell, and it is a bit unsatisfactory. I discussed with my wife and I have not bought it for the time being, so I have kept the silver in my hand."

Chen Sanlang nodded: "Now that I am back from the imperial examination, the land should not be a problem."

Compared with scholars, Juren is better than a scholar and has many tax-free welfare benefits. These welfare benefits are an invisible huge wealth. In order to avoid taxes, relatives and neighbors are willing to put the land under Chen Sanlang's name, and then Chen Sanlang symbolically gives some silver. On the surface, it seems like selling it to Chen Sanlang.

But in fact, the fields are still theirs. Chen Sanlang just gave them the relief of exempting taxes, and as for the rewards, it was no problem.

At this time, Chen Sanlang was not concerned about land, but about gathering people first, forming a force that belonged to him.

This is the prototype of the family.

In Jingxian, the Chen family was originally just a poor family with shallow foundations and many things had to be established slowly from scratch.

Chen Sanlang had long realized that in this world, individual power is always limited, and if you cannot gather people, you will be alone and difficult to accomplish.

To do things, you must first have someone who is capable and trustworthy.

Chen Sanlang's eyes first focused on Mr. Meng, Mr. Yang. The old man had a solid knowledge and could preside over the establishment of clan studies.

During the banquet, he had already asked the old man what he meant. Mr. Yang just pondered slightly and agreed readily. Anyway, he opened a private school now and had little intentions. Chen San returned after the ceremony, and Jie Yuan in high school was already the most proud student in his life.

Secondly, the person Chen Sanlang wanted to recruit was Zhou Hezhi.

Zhou Hezhi has a gentle and down-to-earth personality and is suitable to be a housekeeper. With him and Uncle Hua, the family can be stable.

Chen Sanlang was the one who attracted the most, but when he thought about it, he felt that he was not capable enough. Although he was a new academic scholar, he was a Jinshi, so how could he easily agree to follow him?

At least, there is no chance at this time.

As for He Weiyang and the others, they were young and would never give up the path of imperial examinations, and they were not easy to attract.

After thinking it through, Chen Sanlang didn't say much. He asked the two demons of Chai and Xiongping who were supporting the scene to enter the study and ask some questions:

"You are familiar with Jingxian, but do you know where there are large areas of fertile but unreclaimed wasteland?"

Crabs belong to outsiders, but they are not very clear and cannot answer.

Xiongping was delighted and thought that it was time to make contributions. He said, "Reporting to the young master, the area of ​​the Heshen Temple is actually a very good place, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres."

When Chen Sanlang heard this, he asked: "Aren't there hills and slopes everywhere?"

"Young Master doesn't know that the hills and slopes are quite low-lying. As long as they are artificially cultivated and water is diverted to irrigate, they will be fertile paddy fields."

When Chen Sanlang heard this, his heart suddenly became clear, closed his eyes and pondered, and found some knowledge about field planting from the huge memory in his mind. Unfortunately, he was quite vague and unclear. If he wanted to truly implement it, he had to go through many practical skills.

However, there is no need to hurry. Tomorrow, go there to investigate the geography to see if it is really as the male fish spirit said, suitable for building a foundation; then the most important thing is how to take ownership of this land. It involves such a large area and is of great importance, and it is definitely not something that money can do.

What's more, Chen Sanlang doesn't have much money now.

The stall was spread out and the money was so expensive. The box of gold, silver and treasures he got from Xiongping was more than enough to support a small family, and it was far from enough to do things.

Suddenly, Chen Sanlang felt a little headache.

That night, she lay on the bed and fell asleep for a while. Suddenly, a dream appeared. Ao Qingmei came to dream. She must have recovered her cultivation, so she could also come to her dream without Chen Sanlang going to the well.

Dongting Lake is vast, and it feels more vast and boundless when seen in your dreams; in autumn, the overwhelming reeds bloom, and are as white as a layer of snow.

Xiaolongnu in white dressed in snow appeared in it and was in a magnificent shape: "Congratulations to the young master Xie Yuan in high school!"

Chen Sanlang returned the courtesy and said, "If it weren't for Miss Long, there would be no Chen today."

This sentence is the truth.

Ao Qingmei pursed her lips and smiled: "Good people are rewarded, and God is just."

This is a bit playful.

Chen Sanlang asked: "Have all your cultivation recovered?"

Ao Qingmei shook her head and said, "It's far away, the incense in the River God Temple is still insufficient at present."

"Oh, what do I need to do?"

"Young Master, aren't you going to build a foundation? If you can succeed in the Heshen Temple area, it will be the best help to me."

Chen Sanlang was stunned: "The current stage is only the planning stage. If you want to achieve scale, it will probably take several years to operate."

"It's okay to have a few years of time, just a blink of an eye."

Chen Sanlang heard the meaning of her words, and this was the plan to take root in Jingxian for a long time. After thinking about it, he felt relieved:

Although she is the little daughter of Longjun, she is not happy with her stepmother, she is persecuted and seriously injured, fled from Dongting Lake. She has no choice but to have a home to go back. The most important thing at the moment is to hide, absorb the incense and restore her cultivation.

Then, Jinghe River in Jingxian is a place that is both hidden and suitable.

Before, the crabs were chasing thousands of miles away, and they were greedy for the prosperity of the world halfway, and they stayed several times, and at the same time they lost contact with Dongting Lake. Ao Qingmei's stepmother wanted to send her troops to find her, but it was not easy to find her.

Ao Qingmei said again: "Young Master, you have the "Haoran Silk Book". This method of cultivation is different from other things. You need to cultivate a noble spirit. You should seek fame from the world. Those who are fame are the tools to absorb qi; those who are the foundation are the foundation of nourishing qi. If you can gather people, you can gather qi, and the great atmosphere becomes a dragon, and you can see the magical artifact of the country."

Chen Sanlang understood what she meant and was moved: As a man, who doesn’t want to make achievements? Besides, he has long been caught in the whirlpool and raised as a pig, and wants to protect himself but cannot.

If nothing unexpected happens, if you play a grand song next spring, you will be fattened and will be sharpened at any time.

Even though he is in the "Haoran Silk Book" and possesses the Sword of Evil-killing, judging from the previous two experiences of coldness, if the other party uses the secret technique, he is really not sure whether he can resist it.

This is also a major reason why Chen Sanlang wanted to start building a family. Gathering people means gathering life and fortune. The more you gather, the greater the strength of fighting.

At the Luming Banquet in Yangzhou, he saw the domineering and majesty of Yuan Wenchang for the first time, and he felt more and more that the Xia Yu Dynasty could not last long. The officials in the border were ambitious and unsatisfied. If the court ordered the dispatch and began to cut off power, it would probably be the beginning of chaos in the world.

Because they would not easily leave the prefectures and counties that they had worked hard to run. For example, if the imperial court ordered Yuan Wenchang to be transferred to Beijing to serve, or if they went to other prefectures and counties, how could he be willing to leave?

Once you leave, you will give up your own foundation.

There is no doubt that at that point, it is the moment when the dagger is seen.

After going to Yangzhou to refer to the provincial examination, after personally contacting Yuan Wenchang, he saw a glimpse of the leopard and saw a brief look that Chen Sanlang made great progress in his understanding of the general trend of the world and had a strategy in his heart.

"Miss Xie Long's advice, I understand."

Ao Qingmei laughed, and her laughter was so clear and moving: "Young Mei is here, I wish you a success for the young master!"

The laughter lingered in my ears.

Chen Sanlang woke up suddenly and heard a rooster crowing, and the fish belly turned white in the east sky. It was already early in the morning. He got up, finished washing up, had breakfast, and took two demons to the River Temple.

When I arrived at the ground, I picked a relatively high place to watch and saw a large area by the river. It was indeed open and clear. In the distance, there was a steep mountain range. After crossing the mountains, it was no longer Jingxian, but the jurisdiction area adjacent to the county town.

Chen Sanlang was fascinated by the sight of geography around him and took out the four treasures of the study to find a flat place to describe it.

Xiongping was a well-behaved guy. He immediately stepped over, bent down, used his waist as a table, and smiled and said, "Young Master, just spread it out and write it."

When Chihe saw this, he bulged his eyes: "What a flatterer, you can do all this, it's a shame for the demon clan. OK, you're on the first day of the lunar month, I'm on the fifteenth."

He rushed forward and bowed his body very low: "Young master, sit on my back, it's comfortable and easy to write."

When Chen Sanlang saw it, he was so amused that he could not help them, so he sat up, focused his pen and quickly painted it on the white paper.

In about a quarter of an hour, a map with clear lines was drawn, with the pen tip circled and marked on the map.

Now, this map is just a prototype and is not perfect enough, but the overall framework has been laid out, and the rest is to gradually improve the concepts on the map into something realistic.

Blow dry the ink, fold it, and put it in your arms.

"Let's go back to the city... we'll go out for a long journey tomorrow."

Hearing this, the two demons were very excited. They surrendered to Ao Qingmei and became two capable generals. However, Ao Qingmei was very strict in governance and had many constraints. Usually, the two demons could only stay in the bottom of the river, sleep in mud pits, practice hard to practice their cultivation, and could not emerge at any time, nor could they go ashore to make teeth sacrifices and eat some good things.

Last time, Ao Qingmei in the well realized that Captain Zhong led the yamen runners to the Chen family to get people, so she ordered the two demons to come to rescue through her thoughts.

Finally, when he was playing tricks, Chi He and Xiongping were very active, and beat Zhong and his group to fear.

Now, they were of course very happy to hear that they could follow Chen Sanlang to travel far, like birds that were released from cages, wishing they were tomorrow soon.
