"Hingya, it's your family's turn, come here quickly! From now on, your family's surname is Shen, remember? Repeat it, what is your name?"
"Shen... canine teeth?"
"You have no children? Come forward, and together with your woman, bow to the doctor...one more time...three times!"
Wu Sheng smiled, signed a piece of bamboo chip, and handed it to the kneeling hunter. The hunter took it, held it in his hand and looked at it again and again, like touching a precious jade.
With this thing, his family is no longer savages, but Chinese people with a surname. From now on, they can raise their heads and live a good life!
"...Remember, your name will be Shen Tiezi from now on. Of course your daughters also have surnames. What are their names?"
"Chief Jia, Tian Daya, Chu Erya, Mei Sanya!"
"Okay, from now on everyone's surname will be Shen, Shentian, Ju, Mei, and so on. Any children they have will also be surnamed Shen... Finished kowtow? The next family..."
"... From now on, you are Shen... No, change your name... Listen, who else is doing the Five at home? It's all changed. From now on, we will all be together!"
Wu Sheng always had a smile on his face and let Uncle Yong's father take care of things in front of him. The old man has been a Chinese all his life. Although he has never been an armor chief, he has been influenced by it for decades. Before setting off, he asked his armor chief for advice, and he has done this. A familiar road.
From the thousands of road-building savages, fifty households were initially selected. Now they are all kneeling in front of Wu Sheng. They have taken over all their families and children. Together, men, women, old and children, there are 218 people. They were Wu Sheng's first group of people.
There will be a second batch next. Three officials, Shanling envoy Lu Fang, Gong Yin Zhuowuzi and Wu Sheng, have jointly signed a letter, hoping that Qingyu will agree to open another batch.
How many people Wu Sheng can support is Wu Sheng's business, and the monarch has no control over it. However, the monarch's consent is needed to create as many households as possible.
Lu Fang wanted to stay here for the rest of his life, so he naturally wanted as many people as possible. Zhuo Wuzi was worried that the performance of the barbarians in building roads was too good, and being promoted to a national was not enough of a reward, so the three of them signed a letter.
Wu Sheng didn't want to let the savages go back just because they had not yet reformed. Zhuo Wuzi promised to help him for another two months to build the manor before leaving. Wu Sheng provided the money needed to build the manor.
The manor was built in the plain valley between the main peak and the southeast peak, along a river six to seven feet wide. The land is fertile, surrounded by dense old forests, and covered with ironwood as hard as iron. These ironwoods were used to build the manor. Best materials. The cleared land can be given to the people to cultivate and pay taxes.
In any manor, a strong high wall is the first priority. At the very least, it must be able to stop ferocious beasts. According to Wu Sheng's aesthetics, a square iron-wood wall 200 meters long and 200 meters wide was first built, 2.5 feet high and 7 feet thick. , people can stand guard on the wall.
A circle of two-deep simple courtyards were built along the base of the wall. They were all basic iron-wood houses built on frames to meet the most basic accommodation needs. The fifty newly-minted Chinese households in this first class moved in.
In the open space in the middle, plant a few trees and create a vegetable garden, and use it as a square in Jiali to hold Benjia celebrations and other activities.
Along the four garden walls, two thousand acres of land were allocated, each family had ten acres, and they farmed twice a year, with one out of ten for spring and two out of ten for autumn.
At the same time that the manor wall was built, the second village was leveled two miles away. After the monarch agreed, the second group of people were prepared to be promoted.
At the same time, Wu Sheng also declared the main peak as a restricted area, his own private territory, and laid wooden stakes along the foot of the mountain to mark the boundary. He built several bamboo houses in front of Lingquan Cave and laid out the Dao Guiju Mountain Formation presented by Mrs. Guo.
There are many good things among the exotic flowers and plants beside the spiritual spring. He collected more than ten of the most precious ones, carefully buried the seeds or rhizomes, and transplanted those flowers and plants without spiritual power and planted them outside. Bamboo house courtyard.
Zhang Xiaokeng came back from Shangyong and informed Wu Sheng: "The monarch agreed to change the second batch of savages to Chinese people. The monarch also asked the doctor what else is needed. Now that there is a road, it only takes three days for a quick horse trip. If you need anything, just say it. The king also said that the envoy of Chu has been away for half a month, and the doctor can go back at any time."
Wu Sheng said: "Take a rest. Tomorrow you will go back to Shangyong to report to the king. Just say that my manor has just been built and it will take at least three months to finish it... Also, tell shopkeeper Dong and ask him to purchase cloth and deliver it as soon as possible." Come to Mangdang Mountain and buy as much as you can. There is also food. The number of Chinese people staying here has more than doubled and we need more food. But don’t buy it in Shangyong. Go to the countries of Yu, Kui, and Lu, or Nanchu. "
Zhang Xiaokeng rested for a night, looked at the busy construction conditions everywhere, and returned to Shangyong with great expectations. For these disciples, the territory of the family leader is also their home. In the future, they will definitely receive land rewards in the fief and build their own village. Therefore, they are full of enthusiasm for doing things.
After he left, Wu Sheng told Dong Xue: "Take good care of the spiritual spring. In the free space, grow some spiritual herbs, ordinary ones will do. The rest is to improve your cultivation as soon as possible and accumulate true energy."
Dongxue asked: "Doctor, are you ready to travel?"
Wu Sheng said: "Since we have gone deep into the land of Baiyue, let's go find some good things for alchemy."
He also summoned Uncle Yong, Dong Da, Suo Laoliu and others and gave them some instructions: "Guard Mangdang Mountain well, and if you have any questions about major matters, just ask Lu Fang. With him as a master of god refining and a disciple guarding him, major dangers can be dealt with. But you can't relax, deal more with the Lianshan and Cangwu tribes, and visit the big heads of the two tribes as often as possible, so that you will be stable... If anyone asks, you can just say that the alchemist is gathering herbs, and Yun Shen I don’t know where I am.”
Dong Da asked: "Where is Yunshen? Is it dangerous? Doctor, can you bring more people there? Uncle Yong can just look after Mangdang Mountain. I... my subordinates and Lao Liu will also accompany the doctor to Yunshen."
Wu Sheng: "..."
Boss Dong's request was rejected, Wu Sheng took only Yong Zhi and Lu Kuang and left in the night.
Wu Sheng chose to go eastward, walking through the barren mountains and wild ridges. The three of them were all experienced Qi practitioners, and they had no carriages, horses or cargo to carry. They climbed over high mountains and treacherous shoals and rapids, and also encountered powerful monsters, but they all Try to avoid and avoid provoking them.
Of course, there are some that cannot be avoided. On the third day of march, we broke into the territory of a swarm of wild bees. These wild bees are called poisonous rock wasps. Each one is as big as a child's fist and has tyrannical strength. The three of them were chased in such a panic that they had no choice but to jump into a deep stream to escape.
Fortunately, Wu Sheng had enough elixirs, and the rhubarb elixir and the pulse-protecting elixir were treated together, and the poisonous bags on the three people's heads were eliminated.
On the fifth day of the journey, Wu Sheng turned to the north. The wild mountains were gradually left behind, and people could be seen in front of him.
Lu Kuang reported: "Doctor, at the foot of the mountain is Plum Village. This place belongs to the southern boundary of Yangzhou. Three hundred miles to the north is Yangzhou."
