Chapter 95 Fragrant Hills
In the spring of the second year of Longqing, Chen Mu took up the post of Qianhu in Xiangshan.

From Anyuan Station in Qingyuan to Danjiang Station, south to the foot of Xiaojin Mountain in the northwest of Guangcheng, go south on the avenue and go around the city, and take a boat to cross the river at Shipsi in Chengnan City. When you get down to earth again, you have arrived in Xiangshan.

Just after getting off the boat, I greeted more than 50 soldiers, servants, and family members of the banner officer to lead horses and pull carts. A servant from Xiangshan County ran over from the shore, recognized the official robe on Chen Mu, and clasped his hands and smiled. Question: "But Chen Qianhu? County magistrate Zhou has made the little one wait for you here for nine whole days!"

A yamen servant led the way, another yamen servant rushed to report the news, and the crowd surrounded Chen Mu and went to Xiangshan County.

No one has a more mysterious feeling than Shao Tingda. He returned to Yuegang to work for Chen Mu. He heard that Chenghai was fighting when he arrived at his hometown. When he caught up with the golden opportunity, the land price near the sea outside Yuegang City was immediately halved, and 500 taels of silver was poured into the water. It is like spilling it out in exchange for a real estate title deed in a wooden box.

The road was blocked, so he lived in Yuegang for two months, and when he returned to Qingyuan, he had already gone to the empty house. Only then did he know that his brother is already a thousand households in Xiangshan, and he himself is a hundred households in Xiangshan.

Only then did several people chase after him all the way, and caught up with Chen Mu in Xiaojinshan.

He brought back to Chen Mu two family members surnamed Shao, who were Japanese pirates.

Speaking of which, they are also Chen Muyuan’s cousins, named Shao Xing and Shao Yong. When they were young, they danced with guns and sticks. Qi Jiguang was so beaten that he ran away with his head in his arms, and fled back home as a shelter, for fear of being recognized by others.

When Shao Tingda returned to Qingyuan, he was worried that he would encounter bandits who had been defeated in the war and Zeng Yiben's remnant party on the way, so he brought them back. They were relatives who knew how to wield knives and spears, and planned to stay by his side as helpers.

Anyway, with this battle achievement, he should be in the general banner when he comes back.

How do you know, it's not Zongqi, but Shao Baihu!
The Xiangshan county government office where Chen Mu went first met Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing said with a sad face, "Chen Qianhu, Mr. Zhou waited so hard for you! He said as he walked, I will take you to the Qianhu office first, and then I will patrol the various places in the next few days. It’s also good to understand the military fields and regions under your rule.”

Chen Mu responded with a smile. Anyway, he was exhausted all the way, and he was in a hurry to rest for a few days. Besides, even if Zhou Xing didn't talk about it, he would have to walk the whole Xiangshan Mountain once.

But he saw that Zhou Xing was in such a hurry, he was afraid that something happened.

military affairs.

"The county where Qianhu is located is not far to the west. There is no township in Xiangshan County. Since the 14th year of Hongwu, the township was changed to Fangdu. The county has one square and ten capitals. The county government office is in Renhoufang, and Qianhu is located in Liangzidu."

On the way, Zhou Xing introduced the situation of Xiangshan County to Chen Mu. Because it is close to Guangzhou, although Xiangshan County is very large, there is no city, and eleven squares are all adjacent to each other to form a settlement.Because the people are small and the land is narrow, and it is close to the river and sea, most of the people make a living by fishing and merchants.

The chariots and horses drove slowly for a moment, and the dilapidated Xiangshan Qianhusuo was far away. The huge Qianhusuo had no stone walls, only wooden fences, and surrounded a large area of ​​houses and all the facilities of the Qianhusuo.

Chen Mu didn't feel well.

A servant from the yamen had gone to the Qianhu Office to report. At this time, hundreds of people were waiting outside the gate of the Qianhu Office. The crooked formation made Chen Mu feel a headache even though he was used to the virtues of the Qingyuan Guards.

These are the first two words that are just waiting to be done, how can they be raised!
"This is my thousand-household house? Brother Zhou, in the past Chen thought that Qingyuanwei had already... hey!" Chen Mu frowned involuntarily, but when he got close, his eyes widened suddenly, his legs clamped on the horse's belly, and he gave up Zhou Xing rode his horse and galloped forward, leading a group of soldiers to rush and surround him.

Standing outside the Qianhu Office and leading the flag army to welcome Qianhu is none other than Deng Zilong!

"You said you were the deputy Qianhu, and you didn't tell me which Qianhu office it was, so it was here!"

Chen Mu got off his horse, Deng Zilong was more surprised than him, "You, you, you are a thousand households in Xiangshan?"

How did this kid get on top of me!

Come on, Deng Zilong was not as happy as Chen Mu, he sighed and cupped his hands and said, "Deng Zilong, deputy deputy of Xiangshan Qianhu, pays my respects to Qianhu."

The young man standing side by side with Deng Zilong also cupped his hands and said, "Sun Ao, deputy deputy Qianhu, pay my respects to Qianhu!"

The two deputy thousand households saluted, and the two hundred soldiers behind them also saluted one after another.If Deng Zilong hadn't been there, Chen Mu's face would have been stinky, but now he has no energy left, and he waved his hands forward and said, "Go in and tell me, you came early, tell me about the Qianhu Office first." The situation. Magistrate Zhou, please!"

He already knew that there were no hundreds of households in the Xiangshan Thousand Households. In the past, the Thousand Households had been emptied and their wages were eaten up. Deng Zilong injected Chen Mu with a booster. At least in his opinion, this There's still plenty to be done for the 'young faction' in the house.

Two deputy thousand households, four hundred households, and one official, with an average age of less than thirty—of course, at this age, Wei Balang made great efforts.

By accident, Deng Zilong became his subordinate, and the smile on Chen Mu's face couldn't stop.

When he beat Li Yayuan, he was still a Shangguan!

Although the Qianhu Yamen is not very good, the one built by the Qianhu Yamen is extraordinarily luxurious.

The roof is decorated with blue tiles and animal ridges, and the eaves of the beams are decorated with green and green green jade.

There are six wing rooms, two stables, and three front halls in the front gate building, six wing rooms, three warehouses, and three back halls in the middle gate building.To the west is the Martial Arts Field, and to the east is the House of Thousands of Households, with prison cells and kitchen yards, all surrounded by courtyard walls. There is also a large pool courtyard in the back hall, where several coconut trees are planted.

Sitting on the red sandalwood grand teacher's chair in the front hall, Chen Mu patted the armrest, and said to Zhou Xing who was sitting next to him, "I know how the previous Ren Qianhu died. This chair was not confiscated?"

"I copied it, leaving the eight tables and chairs in the front hall, and evacuated everything else. I dug up 4000 taels of silver in the backyard, which is the private property of a thousand households, and charged 7000 taels." Zhou Xing nodded and replied: "Just What happened last year, there were originally two deputy Qianhu left in Weili, one was exiled to the nine sides and the other was hanged with him, then Zhou had just taken office and watched him being escorted to Guangzhou Mansion."

Accustomed to seeing life and death, this damned Chen Mu didn't feel sympathetic at all, and said with a smile, "This is considered cheap Chen, brother Deng, you came early, there should be a count of how many flag troops there are in Xiangshan, right?"

Deng Zilong got up and cupped his hands, then said after a pause: "Qianhu, Deng is planning to resign."

Ok?
"Don't! You resigned as soon as Chen came here, what's going on, tell me." Chen Mu almost slapped the table, he was still happy because of Deng Zilong, this one is about to resign, "Let's settle the matter if there is something wrong .”

Xin Jiangnan had never been so worried and angry when facing Deng Zilong, a rebel army several times his own, and said: "Xiangshan is guarding the thousand households, the banner army has a total of 2000, and the [-]-mu military field guards There are only [-] acres that can be cultivated, [-] acres are on the mountains, not to mention [-] acres of wasteland, [-] acres are directly in the sea, and more than [-] acres are occupied by the Tulu Temple in Guangcheng."

"How can these thousands of households stay? This year, the imperial court's taxes will at least pay ten thousand stones of military rations!"

　Good morning!

　　Hey, what are you going to do with such a miserable Qianhusuo?
