Chapter 99: Xi Zhicai's Shock
After arriving in Wancheng County, Xi Zhicai was still quite disappointed. The entire official administration of this county was very chaotic, and the people walking on the streets were no different from those in other places.
Xi Zhicai still doesn't believe that there is anything rich in a place like this. Even with the blessings of those two fiery wines, it will only make some people rich.
As a person from the Three Kingdoms period, Xi Zhicai was still deeply influenced by the background of this era. The poor family has the highest grade, and the top five poor families have become a rule of this era.
The end of the Han Dynasty was just a process of rising warlords one after another, and it had nothing to do with these people. If there were, there might have been countless casualties.
Unlike other children of aristocratic families, Xi Zhicai still pays more attention to these people, because they are of the same class, so their interests are also the same.
After crossing the Anhui River, we reached the opposite side, but the more we went inside, the more remote it became, and it didn't look like a rich village at all.
Xi Zhicai also felt that he was thinking too much, maybe this is really just a small mountain village, just making wine for business.
After walking for another half an hour, I saw a valley hidden in the mountains and forests. From time to time, there were still smoke rising from the valley, and it seemed that there were not a lot of them.
"Brother Xubai, how many people are there in your village?"
Xi Zhicai asked curiously, looking at the number of smoke from the cooking
You know this is not a small village.
"There are probably more than 5,000 households. If we talk about the number of people, it should have grown to about 25,000."
Qin Shuo replied that there was still some pride in his heart.
"Hey." Not surprisingly, Xi Zhicai also sucked in a breath of cold air. The scale of this is already comparable to half a small county town. I didn't expect it to be hidden in this valley.
And it can be seen that there are soldiers guarding the door. Since there are so many people, and they are hidden in such an unknown place, then this also shows a lot of things.
Only now did Xi Zhicai realize that Qin Shuo was not as simple as it seemed. He should also have a deep plan. To build such a village, he also wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the chaos.
Sometimes some people measure whether a person has a future, often not by the current development, but by whether he has a strategic vision for the future.
The soldiers guarding the gate of the valley are all very good in spirit and spirit, and each of them is very strong. If they are soldiers of the same rank, then these soldiers must be more powerful.
Although there were only a few dozen people at the door, some eyes could already be seen.
Moreover, he also noticed Gan Ning who was guarding Qin Shuo before. He had always thought that he was just a servant of Qin Shuo, but after careful observation, he realized that he was very wrong.
wrong.
Although Gan Ning was young, his aura was still very strong, he was more mature than his peers should have, and he exuded a sturdy aura.
This young man will definitely not be ordinary in the future, this is what Xi Zhicai thought.
The trail into the village can probably accommodate two carriages running side by side, but due to the barrier of the cliff, the general scene inside cannot be seen.
After Xi Zhicai entered the village, a complex light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
There is surprise, envy, admiration, all kinds of positive feelings are filled in his heart.
The spirit of the people in this village is something he has never seen outside. Although it is only a small village, the construction inside does not need a county town, and it can even be said that it is better than most of the county towns. better.
And he has learned one thing, that is, the compulsory education that Qin Shuo has been implementing for a long time.
After passing by the military camp in the village, Xi Zhi only knew about the village, but he still looked down on it a little.
There were actually quite a few cavalrymen in training in the barracks, and the number of horses was not too small. There were about 300 horses, and a county of the same size was estimated to have only so many.
The general standing on the high platform to guide the training does not look like an ordinary person, even more than him.
Most of the generals I have seen are even more charismatic and have a kind of momentum.
Xi Zhicai thought that he was very accurate in seeing people, but this time he also made a mistake. He didn't expect that Qin Shuo, who looked ordinary and had ordinary conversation, had such a skill.
"Miss, how do you feel about this village?"
When Xi Zhicai was visiting the village, he did not ignore his wife and asked.
"Very good, I feel like it is the most prosperous and peaceful village I have ever seen. Didn't you say that the village chief of this village invited you, or you would simply be an official here, and I also know some women. Red craftsman, even if your monthly money is not much, I can still subsidize it."
The wife gave advice in a low voice, but she really wanted to stay.
Having experienced wars, hunger, and poverty outside, such a place is tantamount to a paradise, and it is really not just a talk that I would rather be a dog of peace than a dog of troubled times.
After listening to his wife's words, Xi Zhicai was also silent for a while. His wife's wishes had already been expressed, and she wanted to live here.
Xi Zhicai's parents have been
He died prematurely, and there was nothing to linger on in his family. If he had to have it, it might be the ancestral house.
The thought of the ancients relocating to the land was still quite heavy, so Xi Zhicai was also unsure of what to do.
Qin Shuo, who was beside him, had already heard the conversation between Xi Zhicai and the two of them.
There are some coursing, and it seems that it is good for him to insist on bringing him here.
"If Brother Zhicai doesn't dislike it, staying there for a few days in the humble house is just a chance for me to show the friendship of the landlord."
Qin Shuo did not ask him to stay directly, but said euphemistically.
"Since that's the case, it's not easy to refuse, so I would like to thank Brother Xubai."
Xi Zhicai said.
"There are just two vacant rooms in the lower house, you can let the two rest in peace, come with me."
Qin Shuo said with a smile, and the two of them followed closely behind.
With the upgrade of the village, Qin Shuo's village hall is now much more spacious.
Moreover, Mr. Jiang was also in order to arrange the noodles, so he specially asked the craftsmen in the village to rebuild it. Now it is a three-entry house, and the furniture inside is very complete.
Although Qin Shuo is not a person who is greedy for pleasure, he has no excuses for this kind of thing. He lives in a more comfortable place, and he can be a little more entertaining when he comes.
"Master Qin, why are you coming back now?"
Before entering the door, Da Qiao, who was dressed in a fairy dress and had a little pink on her face, greeted him.
"Is this Qin Gongzi's wife?"
Xi Zhicai was also a little surprised. The appearance of this woman was really one of the best among the women he had ever seen, but he always felt that he had seen this woman somewhere before.
"Brother, who is she?"
Qin Qinger was also slightly startled and asked.
