Chapter 15 , Zhuang Ming expresses his heart
Passing through villages along the way, Chen Qi wanted to appreciate the beauty of the wax figures of the silver snake dancing in the mountains ten thousand years ago, but what he saw made Chen Qi's heart heavier, snow was covered with waists, houses collapsed, and faint crying came. Looking around, there was a vast white and desolate area. Except for several large manors, no smoke rose.
Chen Qi suddenly realized that this was a ten thousand years ago. Even the center of the empire would be starved by natural disasters. A few days ago, Chang'an City was even surrounded by refugees. He suddenly felt confused. Customs, social systems, productivity levels, etc. all restricted the development of society. Can it be changed by one person? He should do something. In addition to mechanical manufacturing, his major also has agricultural technology, so that more people can eat enough and not starve to death, and be worthy of a time travel.
The mountain road is gentle, the mountain is from bottom to top, with layers of gullies, and black and white with heavy snow. The mountains are very quiet. On heavy snow, no one wants to come out. Occasionally, one or two dog barking shows that it is not a deserted village. Passing a canyon, the lake in the valley is not completely frozen due to the infusion of live water. It is clear in the snowy days, like a huge mirror, reflecting all kinds of lights around. Lu Qing is very excited. His Chen Qi's year is all in the village, telling Korean stars about the embarrassing things when they were young.
After passing the valley, Chen Kang said it was a peach forest, and there was no sign of branches or branches. The branches held the snow, which had a unique flavor. On the gentle slope in the distance, there was a village. The village was not big or small, but it was also uniquely repaired. From the foot of the mountain to the side of the mountain, there were houses on both sides of the streets of more than 100 meters. There were houses on both sides. There were a row of villas on the mountain. The Duke of Zhenguo named it the farmland village, with white walls and red pillars, and the meaning of returning to the farmland. It seemed that his grandfather had long been tired of fighting.
Chen Qi came out of the carriage and observed the valley. The ridges on both sides were undulating. A turbulent river flowed through the village. It might be a hot spring. The river was filled with mist, which poured into the lake I had just passed by.
The walls of Guitianzhuang are not high, less than half a person, and in some places they are still fenced together. It seems that the family of Zhenguogong is not well-off. Just because of his great reputation, there is no other income in the village except for the harvest. No wonder life is simple. In Chen Kang's opinion, two jin of money is big money.
I heard from Lu Qing that Guitianzhuang was the fief of a prince of the previous dynasty. More than 20 years ago, the emperor rewarded Duke Zhenguo. It is not far from the Lishan Palace. It shows that Duke Zhenguo's status in this dynasty. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the Lishan Palace built against the mountain from afar.
Behind the fence is an open space square. The snowflakes falling from the sky are getting bigger and bigger, floating white and gentle. The open space seems to be covered with a blanket. Behind is a flowerbed. There is a corridor of about fifty steps in the middle of the flowerbed. There are dense bamboo forests on both sides. However, in winter, you can only see the rising dead branches. When you pass through the fifty steps of the aisle, you will suddenly see enlightenment.
As we see, there is a small mirror lake with fog on the lake. Chen Qi knew that the hot spring soup in Mount Li is very famous, but he didn't expect that there was a hot spring in his own village.
There is a winding corridor on the lake surface, followed by a yard that is connected to three rows, five in and five out. The tall main room, a wide front hall, steps, and corridors are all complete, and there are wing rooms on both sides, which are majestic and magnificent.
Several people had been waiting, and trotted over to take Chen Qi's stretcher, "Oh my young master, let us know earlier next time, so that we can make some preparations."
Chen Qi's nose was so cold that he didn't want to speak, so he responded quickly.
After entering the door, it was not as warm as Chen Qi thought. The gray plastic decoration on the roof was themed with auspicious beasts and auspicious patterns such as plum blossoms, peonies, lotus and fish. The gables also had exquisite grass-tail gray plastic decorations. There was a huge brazier in the middle. Although there was a thick felt around it, the house was too big and not warm. The kang in the bedroom had just burned up, and the bed was laid. Chen Qi lay down without covering the quilt, and it was still chilly.
The house here also needs to be renovated, and Chen Qi made up his mind to make more money.
It was late at night, and Chen Qi was wrapped in a thick quilt. Han Xing Lu Qing and the three of them talked about interesting things when they were young, about the houses they were about to be built, and about how to make money. Chen Qi seemed to have grown up all night. If you want the past, what money is, it is the most important thing to feel happy. He slept all night in a daze.
The next day, Chen Qi washed up and pushed the door out. In front of him, there was a small courtyard with a waist-length fence. The house was halfway up the mountain, facing him. Chen Qi stretched and looked into the distance. He was white, like a faint cloud of ink and water.
Xiaokang had already prepared a hot water bag and handed it over, "The third young master, everyone who built a house in the village has contacted me, just wait to pick the place, prepare the materials, and start the work directly, they are all his own family."
Chen Qi nodded, very satisfied with Xiaokang's efficiency in doing things. "Let's go, go to the shop first, see where the shop is."
"The backyard is the winery, and a mountain is the carpentry room behind it." Chen Kang pointed to a mountain bag not far away.
Chen Qi looked up and saw a winding path that was rising slowly along the zigzag shape of the hillside, windingly wrapping around the mountain bag. The mountain road was well built, with bluestone slabs of various colors and half-person-high guardrails that looked very beautiful in the wind and snow.
I went to the winery first to take a look. Lu Qing was reluctant and said that if you want to be short of money, I will get it for you, so there is no need to manage the cheap karma. We came to the farm to hide from the quietness. After a while, it is time to go to the academy to study. Because Chen Qi was injured, he had already lost many classes. Chen Qi said that your money was not your family's own, and the family would be a matter. We brothers support ourselves and spend the money we earned.
Lu Qing felt that Chen Qi was just saying this, but he thought it was strange. Han Xing was very happy. He said that after he became rich, he would eat all over Chang'an and enjoy it. Chen Qi looked at his white patched clothes and said that he would calculate the shares for you, and there would be no need to patch it at that time.
The three of them are just about the beginning of love. After a few words, they went around the girl, teasing Chen Qi's Princess Pear Blossom and the little flower courtesan Su Qianqian. Han Xing also said that Lu Qing liked the young girl of the Wei family of the Jingzhao Mansion, Lu Qing said that I just liked him. Chen Qi said that he had high vision. Jingzhao Mansion is a second-rank official. The biggest official in your family is the fourth-rank Zhongshu Shishu. It is a bit far behind the same family. Lu Qing was depressed and his family was very clear. Chen Qi waved his hand to comfort him, "Would you rather be a prince, general, and minister, don't be rude. Is a little girl?" Isn't it easy to win. The three of them talk about Han Xing again. Han Xing said that he met a girl, who is a good person, has a kind heart and good kung fu. He met two years ago in the East Gate, and never met him again in Chang'an. Maybe he was from other places.
As he spoke, he walked along the road. Many stone slabs actually had corrugated anti-slip belts. Chen Qi praised, "This road is really well built, and there is also this skill in the village."
Chen Kang stroked the snow on the handrail with his hands, "This is not something we have cultivated, but the princes of the previous dynasty."
Lu Qing also said, "The prince of the previous dynasty was the King of Shenwu of the Great Xia, and it is said to be the number one master in the world at that time."
Chen Qi's eyes lit up, "The first master in the previous dynasty? Then turn around and look at the village to see if there are any secrets left."
Chen Kang gave up Chen Qi's idea and poured a basin of cold water. "When I was a child, the eldest and second masters came a lot, and I searched the mountains and the mountains. They said that at that time, everything except the things made of stones was a piece of ruin."
Han Xing tidied up his big cotton hat and said with a smile, "What is the best in the world? Don't believe it. Our master Xu Ban is also known as the best in the world? He can't even beat my uncle."
"There are too many people who are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the world," Chen Qi sighed.
While speaking, after passing a gatehouse, he walked to the turn of the son and suddenly realized the open space. Chen Qi turned around and stopped, and it was really dangerous. One man could pass by ten thousand men. The view of this open space was excellent. The whole village was like a sand table. If the sky was clear and the air was clear, the eyes could be seen in the distance.
