The rivers of this era were not only rich in water, but also lush grass. There were many wild forests on both sides. Reeds rippling on the shore, and water birds flew from time to time. Only when you look into the distance can you see the curling smoke of cooking. However, on both sides of the river, there are mostly wild beaches and few people live.

Just as Liu Bei felt at the beginning, it was empty.

After several days of sailing, there were still some travelers except for the ferry and the boats coming and going, and there was no one else on the way.

Why did the Han people live by the way? You can tell from this river channel that it is too desolate. Wild beasts appear in dense grass and wild forests, which hurt people's lives. In addition, the large rivers are flooded from time to time, which captures people's river channel and frequent floods. It is indeed not advisable to choose water to live.

The key is that there are few people.

Think about the population twenty times that of this time in the future, the real wilderness is in front of you.

It took less than the time of the year. Four days later, the merchant ship arrived at Laoya Ferry. When he said goodbye to Geng Yong, Liu Bei returned to Lousang Village by boat.

As soon as I arrived at my doorstep, I heard the neighing of the horses.

I carefully identified that besides my own big yellow horse, there was indeed another horse.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was the green horse!

In addition to his third uncle and several craftsmen, there are also tricks in the yard!

"Take it!" Liu Bei's joy was all on his face.

"Liu Bei!" The half-large young man who was pulling the reins of the horse threw the reins and rushed forward with great strides.

"Hahaha..." The two of them laughed with their arms.

Liu Bei stepped forward and the old patriarch stepped forward. As the Likui of Lousang Village, the origin of the Qingma horse must be carefully checked. There must be no mistakes.

"Ah Mother." The mother and Gongsun were standing in front of the corridor with a smile. Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. He left home, but fortunately he was accompanied by Gongsun to protect his mother.

"Than'er, thank you for your hard work." Liu Xiaopang's return safely was the greatest joy of his mother.

The craftsman was called by the third uncle. The third uncle was called by the mother. Two horses were in the trough and there were many battles with each other. The mother wanted to convert the stable in the backyard into a stable and two troughs. Two horses were separated and fed.

There were many ancillary facilities in the Han Dynasty. Common ones were: toilets, wells, warehouses, stoves, cow prisons, stables, sheep pens, pig pens, dog pens, duck pens, chicken pads, etc.

There are toilets, wells, warehouses and stoves at home.

If there is no cow at home, there will naturally be no cow prison, no sheep, pig, dog pen and duck pen. There is only the cockfighting among the chicken feet.

Uncle San said, if there are hundreds of acres of fertile land, how can you lose cattle?

That's right.

Niu Lao is also going to be built.

The front yard welcomes guests, which is often inconvenient. The back yard is empty and suitable for building a house.

All of these can be put first.

The key is to complete the transaction.

Liu Bei paid a deposit of one gold first. The green horse was priced at twenty gold. Liu Bei had to pay another nineteen gold.

Qian Zhao said that this horse was given by a Hu merchant. His origin was innocent and there were circumstantial evidence. The old patriarch was used as a guarantee, and the two signed and sealed the documents. His mother received the remaining funds to complete the transaction.

The journey is long, and Qianzhao is no longer a horse. It is too dangerous to have a lot of money. Liu Bei quickly sent a letter and told Geng Yong about the feelings. He also said that Qianzhao was open and honest, and could be close friends. He also asked Geng Yong to arrange it and allow him to return to Anping with the Cui merchant ship, and so on.

A gold will know people's hearts.

The horse trade made Liu Bei and Qian Zhao trust each other more.

Liu Bei threw gold and sent horses to him. This became a good story. Later it was widely circulated in the north.

Crow Ferry.

After reading Liu Bei's handwritten book word by word, Geng Yong sighed very much. The negative emotions that had been around for many days were wiped out. There was no regret for himself or friends.

"I might as well be better than Liu Bei can recognize people!" Then he stood up and ran towards the Cui family fleet.

"Brother Cui--Brother Cui--"

Cui Jun, who was entering the last batch of cargo, looked up when he heard the sound. He saw Geng Yong holding his robe in his hand and strode towards him.

"Why are you so panicked?"

Geng Yong panted and said, "It's Liu Bei."

Listening to Geng Yong's purchase of Liu Bei's horse, he said in detail. Cui Jun slowly paused his head: "I know the hearts of a single gold. Where is the trick?"

"In Liu Bei's house."

"Then I'll wait for him for a day." The fleet was stranded for only one person. Cui Jun also had the aura of a hero!

"Thank you!" Geng Yong bowed to the ground.

Liu Bei’s backyard.

The craftsmen were busy tying the land and drawing lines.

The habit of pulling the horses is carefully described. According to pulling the horses, sand is not bad at all. The balance of the horses is regulated by "ear water". It is also said that from Anping to Zhuo County, running all the way as usual. Liu Bei believed it without doubt.

Besides, Liu Bei bought it as a stallion and paired it with the yellow horse. It only carries for you in normal times.

The two were about the same age, and only after asking, they found out that Liu Bei, the chief of Qianzhao, was four years old. Last year, he became a teacher in the same county, and learned literature and calligraphy. He was a master of riding and martial arts. He was quite familiar with Hu language.

Unlike Liu Bei who practices sword strikes, he practices gun skills.

Gongsun said to his mother that the two of them were in a similar mood and would become friends who would be punished for a long time.

It is rare to be a gentleman who is honest and upright, and my mother is particularly happy about this.

The next day, a small boat came to pick it up. My mother and Gongsun got up early and prepared dried food and honey for Qianzhao. Qianzhao thanked him and took it, bid farewell to Liu Bei, and returned on a boat.

After seeing off the trick, Liu Bei told his mother and Gongsun in detail about the experience he had left for ten days. He also presented the fruit box written by Shangshu Cui to his mother. Gongsun said that the difference between fruit fairy jelly and jelly is one word, but his value doubles.

It is precisely because of the word "媚".

As a specialty of Lousang Village, Liu Bei does not intend to make it public.

The family has twenty gold deposits left.

It is more than enough to rebuild the stables.

An ordinary house costs only ten thousand yuan, not to mention just a stable.

In the new stable, Liu Bei is preparing to build it into a 'dry rail' style.

Dry railings are also called high railings and pavilions. They are divided into two layers, generally made of wood, bamboo and stone as piles. The upper floors are laid with floors and walls, and there is no barrier on the lower floors. The walls are also built with bricks, stones, mud, etc. from the ground. The roof is covered with two sloped roofs, covered with tree bark, thatch or terracotta tiles. The upper floors live in people, and the lower floors are used as captive livestock or place agricultural tools. This type of building can prevent the invasion of snakes, insects, floods, moisture, etc., and are mainly distributed in humid areas.

Liu Bei built high-stand stables not to prevent snakes, insects and moisture, but to stack for grass on the lower layer.

The above-ground part was removed, and four corner piles were built with bluestone on the original foundation. Thick wood was paved and Han bricks were piled on all sides. The cover was covered with two slopes, and a "shui-draft ridge" was set. The stable was divided into two parts, with horizontal corridors in front and lattice railings, with doors open in the middle, and two solid wooden horse troughs were arranged next to the door. The back was stable, horse room, stable bed, etc., with one stable and two troughs temporarily separated to prevent biting.

The lower floor also has four brick walls, with doors left on the side and behind. The inside is filled with grass and a guillotine is placed in the middle to chop grass.

Busy, after the autumnal equinox, the tribe members were busy sowing wheat.

The previous construction of overturned trucks was built to divert water and irrigate the irrigation. The dozens of acres of land that Liu Bei's family built were sown together.

There were no maids or servants in the family. Although it was common to raise slaves in this era, Liu Bei was still a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, there were many people in the same clan, and it was enough to hire them temporarily.

There are more than 100 acres of paddy fields, and the rice seedlings are growing well. The rice flowers are fragrant and can be harvested soon.

The old patriarch went to the field to see it and said that a hundred acres of rice would be a thousand stones!

Can a mu of ten stones be produced? The yield is amazing. It should be noted that if you plant wheat, you can only get three stones per mu of fertile land. Now, the water in Qingxi is large, digging canals to divert water, and converting the dry land in Lousang Village into paddy fields, you will definitely get a lot of money.

All of this will be saved after the Liu Bei family will be harvested.
Chapter completed!
