    Volume 2 Bianliang Mistakes Chapter 69 The Rise and Fall of Dongchuan Wali (Part 2) After the pass where the two mountains confront each other, and walking along a mountain road for less than two miles, the eyes suddenly opened up. The place that catches the eye is  It's a huge valley basin. The lake mud that was deposited hundreds of years ago dries out in a few decades, giving the ground a dark color.  They all grow extremely vigorously. In this valley and basin, yesterday's shop companion's statement of a radius of more than ten miles was a bit exaggerated. There is still land with a radius of seven or eight miles, and it has all been cultivated, although Xiao Yan is not sure about the acreage system in the Song Dynasty.  , but it is definitely not less than 100,000 acres. The basin is surrounded by mountains that are not particularly high. The water flows on the mountains. I don¡¯t know whether it is rainwater or there are springs and streams on the mountains.  After working all day, Xiao Yan and his party suddenly felt refreshed. The land in this mountain valley that was reclaimed at this time was only a few thousand acres of land near the pass.  It was too fertile, so the people living here took off the mountain soil and put it on the fields to neutralize the soil. It was just the time for the spring wheat to be harvested. The fields were full of wheat stubble, and bundled wheat straws were scattered everywhere.  , some are used for fertilization, and some are used for fires. There is a watering problem in the reclaimed land in the mountains. If the water is not kept in time, no matter how fertile the soil is, the harvest will be impossible.  There are ditches, winding between the fields, and water storage ponds with wooden gates. When the water is full, water can be released to irrigate the fields. Both the ditches and the equipment for water diversion are quite exquisitely designed.  It is difficult to tell that this is something that the people in the depression made by their own feet. On the side of the field, near the edge of the mountain, where the rock is solid and there is no risk of landslides, the ground for the homestead is leveled and built.  Residences. Calling them residences is actually a bit over-the-top. They are just wooden sheds with thatched roofs, but they are all neatly kept. Some sheds even have a small courtyard surrounded by them, and the people in the area don't know.  Chickens and piglets were found somewhere, pig pens and chicken coops were built in the yard, and there was the sound of poultry eating. There were about three to four hundred households in this village, and there were probably nearly 100 people in Wazhong.  Two thousand people. It was getting late, and there was smoke from every house. The barns shared by several families seemed to be at least half full, covered with reed mats and straw roofs. Each family had at least ten or twenty kilograms of food reserves, plus some mountains.  It is not a big problem to harvest wild vegetables and winter wheat. The nearly 2,000 people living together make this ancient lonely mountain valley full of fireworks. Children are playing on the threshing floor, and men are chatting with each other in front of their yards.  As we chatted, the woman was busy with dinner. Everyone was dressed in rags, but they were all clean, and there was no trace of food on their faces. At this time, they saw a large group of knights coming in from the mouth of the valley.  A few people stood in their courtyards and stared blankly. Some people rushed to the threshing floor to hug their children, rushed home and quickly closed the door. At this time, there was already an old man in front, shouting happily:  "The elder brother of the Yue family and several other princes have returned from joining the army. We, the senior officials of the Song Dynasty, have already made great achievements. They are following Xiao Xuanzan, who pacified the Liao Kingdom. This time they are truly returning home in glory." When I heard that Yue Fei and others were back,  , and also followed a master with an earth-shattering reputation.  Many old people came up to greet them. Seeing Xiao Yanyue Fei and the others' current demeanor, they didn't dare to come up to say hello. They all bowed down and saluted by the road, with smiles on their faces.  But more people were still pale. They ran into their courtyards and stared blankly at Xiao Yan and his group as they came in. Many people looked at Zuo Liaoji, who was leading the way at the front of the queue, as if they were expecting him to lead the way.  Everyone can pass this level smoothly.  Needless to say, these are the people who later settled here. The old people here are only three to five hundred, and the newly gathered people are three times as many. No wonder Zuo Liaoji, who took them south to seek a living, became the master of this place.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~ Zuo Liaoji was very discerning in front of the pass. After Xiao Yan announced his name, he immediately opened and closed the door.  Bow down to the left side of the road and welcome Xiao Yan and others inside.  He really didn't have the ability to resist at all.  Needless to say, there are many old people here who gathered the people when Yue Fei was there.  Even if they were all members of the family, the weapons and equipment in the valley would only be over a hundred wooden spears, a dozen or twenty knives, seven or eight bows, and they would not be provided with any armor, oars, or shields.  That day, Yue Fei and the others gathered the people to fight, but their possessions were less than this. Thanks to the fact that the Liao soldiers and horses who came to hunt the grass valley were only a dozen or twenty cavalry, and Yue Fei and the others were very capable in fighting. Whenever a Liao army squad met, Yue Fei alone could  Kill a few riders and chop off a few heads.  The Liao army squad was here to fight, not to fight a tough battle. They left after suffering a loss. The Song Dynasty was unprepared on the border. The Hebei military town had long existed in name only. Even if there were a few troops, they would not be able to fight.You can plunder anywhere in the Shouzhou Junfu City without having to fight tooth and nail with a bunch of die-hard villagers, which instantly made Yue Fei and the others famous that day.  Since we can¡¯t resist, it¡¯s better to open the door early and see how Xiao Yan handles them.  However, Xiao Yan did not express his position so early. Along the way, he focused on the situation in Dongchuan Valley. He whispered a few words to Fang Teng from time to time, and did not even look at the man who was leading the way.  Send it to Zuo Liao.  When he saw the whole Dongchuan Valley, Xiao Yan, who had been pretending to be a big-tailed wolf to scare Zuo Liaoji, secretly praised it in his heart.  This Zuo Liaoji is really a talented person. I don¡¯t know what his background is. He led thousands of Yandi refugees south to escape the chaos. He was able to safely cross the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of Song and Liao troops were fighting, and led most of them to escape.  Entering the Song Dynasty, I found such a place where heaven and earth did not accept it and settled down. In two years, I managed to clean up the place to look like the same one.  Let these two thousand people have enough food.  Regardless of other things, this place will be regarded as our own business from now on, and this guy is qualified enough to be the head of the village.  Xiao Yan exchanged glances with Fang Teng on the horse, waved Yue Fei over, and asked with a low voice, "Pengju, how was it here when you left?" Yue Fei glanced around and said solemnly, "Far inferior to me.  We gathered only four to five hundred people that day, but we selected dozens of brave men and went out to fight with the Liao dogs. They worked hard to cultivate a few hundred acres of land lack of farm tools and cattle, this wasteland is not so good.  One year's harvest from reclamation is enough for a few hundred stones of wheat. Fortunately, we have a bit of a reputation for fighting with Liao dogs. The countryside all over provides some grain, grass, and salt and meat. Naturally, we don't know how to do it.  Those who have been robbed can barely survive" Xiao Yan asked again with a smile: "How is Zuo Liaoji's ability?" Although Yue Fei didn't like Zuo Liaoji in his heart, he still told the truth: "The people have no military law department to control them.  , It is not easy to control. The four or five hundred people were very noisy that day. Zuo Liaoji arranged the two thousand people in an orderly manner and reclaimed such wasteland, which could be called a family.  It's enough This place for irrigation of people's houses has never been war-torn in our Xiangzhou Township, and it is not so neat. In the chaos of the past few years, this place can be called a paradise even this generation still uses me.  At that time, this little name gathered people here to disobey the king. Once they entered the Song Dynasty, they became the people of the Song Dynasty. Since there was no war, we in the Song Dynasty did not need those fortresses of the Liao people." In the end, Yue Fei was still a little angry.  It seems that he still has deep feelings for Dong Chuanwa.  He felt that Zuo Liaoji had ruined his reputation and tarnished this place.  It was rare for him to speak evil words.  With such high spirits, Yue Fei looked like a young man of about twenty years old.  Xiao Yan nodded and said nothing more.  Just calculating in my heart.  It goes without saying that Zuo Liaoji has some talents. To be honest, he has too few scholars at his disposal.  In addition to being counselors and secretaries, literati also need to be able to do steadfast work as logistical auxiliaries.  Although Fang Teng can do it, his nature is still close to that of a strategist.  After staying in Tanzhou for a period of time, although he did a good job, he could always feel that this handsome Bianliang noble prince was somewhat impatient with the people's affairs.  For a while, Wang Gui took care of the logistics affairs in the army, which made it difficult for this honest man to deal with. Later, Xiao Yan took charge of it himself, saying that it was easy for others and took care of it himself, which made Xiao Yan impatient.  Writing papers every day makes me dizzy.  "If Xiao Yan's career can succeed as he wishes in the future, tens of thousands of troops and horses will be mobilized, millions of dollars of property will be transferred, and so many trivial things will naturally need to be taken care of.  The Western Army is such a huge group. In addition to hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, there are also so many talents gathered over the past century to help manage it.  The aristocratic families before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the warlords of later generations, were not able to achieve their foundations so easily. Therefore, even though Xiao Yan was victorious in every battle, he also had considerable appeal in the Shenwu Victory Army, but in the eyes of most people.  His foundation is still very shallow, and the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army can easily deprive him of his influence.  It will not be difficult to deal with him when he comes back to Bianliang in the future.  Poor Xiao Yan had some tricks to win over some Qiu Ba. In this era of the Song Dynasty, it was even more difficult to win over more scribes who could help him with his affairs.  Even if these scholar-officials of the Song Dynasty, even if they are poor, want to recruit them to serve, you will know that these scholar-officials in active service or reserve service in the Song Dynasty will feel insulted.  When he was in Yandi, it was not that Xiao Yan didn't want to look for some Yandi scribes.  But military affairs were of the utmost importance, and he really had little free time.  Secondly, he was so angry that he killed Zuo Qigong. Naturally, those former Liao officials in Yan would not join him.  Xiao Yan had planned in advance to kill all the former Liao ministers. These high-ranking former Liao ministers and officials could not be won over.  If a group was formed and he claimed to be a descendant of Nangui, how could the Song Dynasty not be afraid?  No matter how hard the old man tries, no matter how well he flatters Lao Cai in the future, don't expect to have any important position.  Since we want to show off, it's better to kill a famous traitor to feel better first.  The third thing is that even if he doesn't kill Zuo Qigong,These former Liao officials and officials, like the officials and officials of the Song Dynasty, would rather stay close to the Western Army than surrender to a person like him who had no foundation. After the trouble, Fang Teng was the only one beside Xiao Yan.  It would be an unexpected surprise if Zuoliaozhi was available this time.  In addition to such a talented person, Xiao Yan is also very satisfied with Dongchuanwa here.  If the land of more than 100,000 acres were cultivated, it would be no less than the large farms of the great Song Dynasty families.  This is all wasteland, so it's not difficult to get a title deed.  And he has no shortage of people. How many displaced people can Yandi attract?  If it is reclaimed, it can earn more than 100,000 shi of grain income every year, which is more than enough to support more than 10,000 soldiers.  At that time, the grains during this period will be exchanged for horses produced by Yan, and the horses will be exchanged for wealth.  This is the first plan to make a fortune that comes to mind.  As for how much capital it would cost him to completely run this place - let's not forget this for now. It's always sad to calculate the money.  Let¡¯s feel refreshed first before talking.  Dongchuan is located in Mozhou, not far from Tanzhou. As long as the road is paved, it will be connected to the official road.  It is also very convenient to get to Bianliang. It is the best place to connect to Tanzhou's home branch. Bianliang is here in Tanzhou, and the three caves of the home have a preliminary appearance.  To put it bluntly, if we encounter any trouble, we will have a place to escape.  These are great benefits in terms of reputation. For Xiao Yan, who still retains some of the philistine habits brought from the 21st century, if the more than 100,000 acres of land here are his own property, it would be such a irritating thing.  Things about future generations of real estate developers?  Xiao Yan couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought that his family couldn't even pay the down payment.  In his mind, a picture has been drawn. From now on, Dongchuanwa will be his own villa. Among the beautiful mountains and rivers, if he wants to build a townhouse, he will build a townhouse, and if he wants to build a single-family house, he will build a single-family house.  He is seventeen or eighteen meters tall and no one cares about him.  When the time comes, we will have 10,000 or 20,000 bankers here. When I am busy in Bianliang, I will come here for a vacation. When I see the tall daughters of bankers who were born in Yandi, I will snatch them and train them. Isn¡¯t it like a human being?  Good thing?  Fang Teng and Zhang Xian, who were beside Xiao Yan, looked at Xiao Yan and gradually revealed what could be called a lewd smile on his face.  His saliva was almost watering down. The invincible talent of a famous general at the pass was completely ruined.  Then Xiao Yan wiped his saliva hard, feeling sad and angry in his heart. I haven't even managed the little mute and Guo Rong yet. What the hell are you thinking about now?  What kind of sexual fantasies are there, waiting to say goodbye to the virgin in this era? Although I still feel a little sad like a virgin in Song Dynasty, I always feel good after having sex.  Xiao Yan no longer looks like a handsome man. Zuo Liaoji, who was walking in front, looked at his face and told his guards, and someone immediately attracted Zuo Liaoji.  A group of people rode horses, Zuo Liaoji walked, and came to Xiao Yan's horse and looked up at him. Although they were still a little uneasy, they still maintained an attitude of neither humble nor arrogant. They saluted Xiao Yan and said, "My lord, I don't know what I mean.  What are your orders to the people?" Xiao Yan smiled and said, "After walking such a long way, we finally entered a swamp. This is my property, so it's not good to alarm everyone too much. Lao Zuo, you always have to lure us away.  Let¡¯s settle down somewhere, right? You¡¯ll just have dry food for lunch, and you¡¯ll have to have something hot to eat in the evening. Anyway, it¡¯s enough to disturb you. You should treat me to a meal, right?¡±  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zuochao  Ji Zai Maxia smiled bitterly, he was not the kind of person without a city.  In the midst of the fierce battle of tens of thousands of troops, he led the exiled people of the Yan region through the Passes and settled down in the Song Dynasty. During this period, he experienced dangerous places, which were no worse than fighting.  He also boasts that he has read many books and understands many truths, coupled with these experiences.  He is a very knowledgeable and capable scholar in this era.  But I still can't see clearly the Mr. Xiao Yanxiao who is now famous.  Just now at the door of the door, Xiao Yan's domineering aura seemed to be real again.  He, who has seen troubled times and seen countless dead people, is trembling with fear. It is surprising that this generation has the status of a returnee from the south, and now has the status of a smiling scoundrel. Dongchuanwa became his in the blink of an eye.  Property, these thousands of people seem to be his dealers.  Zuo Liaoji is a village leader.  She also looked familiar and informal with him, showing her utmost ease.  However, Xiao Yan's appearance was pretty good, and his friendly and smiling words naturally made people feel close to him.  Zuo Liaoji knows his own affairs, and Xiao Yan is probably really interested in the industry here.  Xiao Yan also values ????his hard work over the past two years in reorganizing and settling the situation.  Maybe Xiao Yan saw that he was also a person returning from the south and had no one to rely on, so he wanted to win over him and use him.  However, there is something really admirable about Zuo Liaoji's behavior.  At the moment, he just smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency is here, and the students should be entertained. Since Your Excellency does not want to disturb the people here, we will go to the students' thatched cottage to settle down temporarily. However, the place is narrow and cannot accommodate so many tigers."??Xiongju, please forgive me.  " Xiao Yan waved his hand, and Zhang Xian had already emerged from the crowd. There were many old people they were familiar with here. They immediately sent out most of the mink hat guards, taking their mounts to temporarily disperse and settle down. In a blink of an eye, the layout was completed, and it was  Returning to Xiao Yan, he and Yue Fei, Tang Huai Fang Teng, and a few personal guards went to Zuo Liao's home. Niu Gao was the most impatient of being restrained by Xiao Yan and Yue Fei, so he sneaked to his old acquaintance.  He was loose. At this moment, Yue Fei didn't take care of him. He just looked at Zuo Liaoji who was waiting for Xiao Yan to arrange his troops. Zuo Liaoji stood there with a slight bow and a calm look on his face.  Worn, but cleanly washed. He was sincere and upright, but not groveling. When he saw Xiao Yan settling in, he bowed slightly and turned to lead the way. As he walked, he saw his shabby gown.  He didn't even have socks on his lower legs. He was wearing a pair of neatly tied straw sandals with a wooden sole tied around them. He walked forward slowly and quietly, "This man is extraordinary." Even Yue Fei was not impressed by this compliment.  Objection. Xiao Yan also smiled and said: "Since we are extraordinary, we don't need to look like Qiao. Let's all get off our horses. What surprises does this master have? We" A group of people turned over and dismounted, chatting and laughing, and followed Zuo Liaoji. After many twists and turns,  We walked to a slightly higher place in the village in the middle of the valley, where Zuo Liaoji's thatched cottage was. The courtyard was slightly larger than that of ordinary people. There were two thatched cottages inside, one of which had no thatched walls and was only larger.  Four wooden pillars supported the grass roof, and there were wooden piers neatly placed inside. There was a sand table in front of the pier, and next to the sand table was a pen made of branches. The other, smaller room was where Zuo Liaoji lived. He pushed aside Xu.  Xiao Yan closed the door and waved his hand to greet the guests. Zhang Xian, Tang Huai and two mink-hatted guards were standing guard outside. Xiao Yan, Fang, Teng, Yue Fei and the others looked at each other. Xiao Yan took the lead and stepped forward.  Entered the thatched cottage of Zuo Liaoji.  ~~~~~~~~~~~ The space inside the thatched cottage is not big, and it is clean and tidy. There are two wooden piers in the bright room and a board, and some straw is spread on it to form a bed wall.  I made a bookcase out of wood, and the bark on it was not cleaned. There were some books in the bookcase. Some of the better books were just old papers bound with twine, and some were simply bound with bark.  There is a bookcase and a few wooden pillars scattered around as chairs. The dark room inside is smaller, and there are some cooking utensils and rice jars and bundles of firewood. The people here call Zuoliaoji.  He was not named because he was obviously his master, but he was so poor and self-sufficient. Zuo Liao sent the four of them into the house, and went to the dark room to take care of things after he complained.  After cooking and putting rice on the fire, they were immediately busy simmering rice. Xiao Yan and Fang Teng smiled at each other and walked to the bookshelf at random to take a look.  Among the few books are the Chun Qiu Gu Liang Zhuan in the Thirteen Classics, which has nine chapters on arithmetic, the essential skills of Qi Min, and the annotations to the Shui Jing.  They were all banknotes, and the handwriting on them seemed to be Zuo Liao's own handwriting. Xiao Yan hadn't done anything yet, and he really couldn't tell whether the calligraphy was good or bad.  Fang Teng was a little surprised. These handwritings were obviously written with a bad pen and bad ink, and he didn't know how they were made. However, he was carrying a good Wei stele. It had a solid structure and strict rules, but it had a different flavor. It turned out to be  Zhuoran got married.  Fang Teng looked at Xiao Yan and said in a low voice: "Look at the writing skills of this person. He must be reclusive and well-educated, and his mind is meticulous and cautious. But he has a different attitude. He is reclusive but not open-minded. My lord, this person is extraordinary." Xiao Yan doesn't understand this kind of thing at all.  Judging people by words, but Fang Teng didn't need to tell him to know that this Zuo Liaoji was really a talent, and he might have really found a treasure. He said hello immediately, and the dead people were scattered in the bright room and sat down.  Zuo Liaojie on the other end also finished his busy work, wiped his hands and walked out, saying calmly: "The country house is simple, only rice and wild vegetables for food I live here, I don't dare to disturb the government, I do everything on my own.  However, there is a little less salt, so it is bland and tasteless. Please don¡¯t dislike it.¡± Just now, Xiao Yan and Fang Teng exchanged glances and agreed on how to deal with Mr. Zuo Liao Ji Zuo. Now it was Fang Teng who spoke first.  But it was a twist.  Let's see how profound he is. To deal with the scholars of this era, it is still up to the scholars to speak.  "Sir, you are not a warrior like ours, and you can't say that you are not tired of food, and everything is fine. The stomach of a scholar is just like this. When it is Qi, it will be Qi, and when it is Yan, it will swallow. It is just to avoid chaos here, I must be Mr.  The leader. There are thousands of people alive. Are they not willing to worship Mr. Zuo Liao? "What kind of kindness can I have if I live in the Song Dynasty for a few more years?"  If there is a war, where can you run? The building is about to collapse and there is no way to escape.??'s.  Since there is no kindness, there is no talk of being supported by the people.  I feel very at ease when I teach my children to read and read, and get some food and vegetables to survive.  Fang Teng bowed slightly: "Sir, if you are so ethical, you must have brought these books, right?"  The gentleman is a well-educated man. He not only knows the classics, but also knows how to regulate the people.  All operations here are done by gentlemen, right?  "Zuo Liaoji remained expressionless: "It was all written by the students themselves here.  Under the hooves of Hu Qi, culture and education are all empty.  Leave some cultural seeds behind so that everyone can pass on some of them in the future.  The countryside is lonely, so doing this is just for peace of mind.  " Fang Teng couldn't help but admire him a little. He has always been known for his cleverness, and his reading is not simple. Naturally, he has a lot of knowledge. Although Zuo Liaoji has read a lot, he hasn't put it in his heart. But this Zuo Liaoji is  After getting the promise, Bo Wenqiang remembered it, and actually escaped here empty-handed, and then cashed out the books he had read. It was just the sadness in Zuo Liao's words that made Fang Teng a little confused. He was already considered a great person in the Song Dynasty at this moment.  A rare wise man, he was deeply worried about the current internal and external troubles of the Song Dynasty, and he was also worried that the rise of the Jurchens would bring disaster to the Song Dynasty in the future. Bianliang An was blocked as usual, and it seemed that it was still a prosperous age. Only in Yan Di could he find Xiao Yan to rely on.  , trying to save the current situation of the Song Dynasty, but Zuo Liaoji regarded the future troubles as ten times more serious than him, as if the prosperous Central Plains would be greatly destroyed, and its vitality would be exhausted, as if this  Civilization will be cut off. But after asking a few words, I already have a rough idea of ??the pattern of Zuo Liao Xiong. He is knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and can do detailed work close to the people. He has managed everything in Dongchuan Wazhong in the past two years.  He is definitely a talent. Whether or not Zuo Liaoji is used is a matter for Xiao Yan, the superior. Fang Teng is also a little worried. Zuo Liaoji has a bit of a rugged flavor, I'm afraid it's not that good.  He couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yan, but he saw Xiao Yan walking towards him with a smile on his face. He was often lost in thought and had a very ungrateful expression. At this time, he was in a thoughtful posture, with a distant expression, as if he was wandering in a fugue.  In a very distant time, in the darkness, the simmering wheat rice was already a little warm, and the smell of rice came in waves. It was quiet for a while. I don¡¯t know how long it lasted.  Xiao Yan's voice sounded as if it had been heard a hundred years ago: "Sir, why are you so lonely and angry, so depressed?  If you are thinking about these troubled times, you must know that the remaining Liao Dynasty has been peaceful, and the Song Dynasty, Jinou and Ou have been unified, which is the prosperous age.  Even if the Jurchens are strong, it is also a Chanyuan story.  How come it sounds like the sky is falling apart and the earth is falling apart in the words of Mr.  ¡± bk
