Chapter 195 Leopard Head settled in Peach Blossom Mountain
As a newly restructured mountain village, Taohua Mountain, there is no special guard of honor, but Taohua Mountain has 300 elite soldiers, including 100 cavalry and 200 infantry.
"Open the mountain gate to welcome Teacher Lin." Sun Andao.
Gongs and drums sounded, and a team of cavalry rushed down the spacious mountain road, and were energetic on both sides of the road. Sun An and Zhou Tong rode their horses slowly and arrived at the mountain pass.
Lin Chong said: "But Sun's family."
Sun Anduan said: "It's Sun, welcome coach Lin to the mountain."
Lin Chong said, "I have met two leaders."
Sun An and Zhou Tong accompanied Lin Chong, and the three of them rode their horses slowly up the mountain.
I saw the minions on both sides of the road uniformly dressed, their weapons were bright, and they rode war horses, with swords or guns in their hands, and their expressions were grim.
Going further up, the infantry stood straight and still, and was heroic.
Zhou Tong: "Teacher Lin, see if our soldiers in Taohua Mountain are strong."
Lin Chong exclaimed: "It doesn't feel like a parody, it seems like he has entered the barracks again."
"Teacher Lin is over the award. Leader Zhou, please arrange the kitchen to prepare a banquet for wine and food. I will take Teacher Lin to take a walk in our Taohua Mountain." Sun Anduo.
Since Taohua Mountain was reorganized by Wu Song, it has recruited more than 5,000 new people this year while the famine in Qingzhou has been in trouble. Among them, 300 selected elite soldiers are professional soldiers.
Sun An pointed to the forage farms, timber farms, cattle and horse farms in the valley. More people were logging and sorting out the wood in the cold.
"We have less than 6,000 people in the village, with 300 elite soldiers. In addition to the traditional toll collection, we mainly use the cultivation of wasteland to grow grain, raise horses, cattle, sheep and pigs, and also process wood tools, brew wine, etc.," Sun An introduced.
Lin Chong was confused and said, "Don't the counterfeit villages make a living by robbing their families? Can we eat food and livestock with food? Is there still 300 elite soldiers a little less? How can we resist if the official army attacks?"
Sun An smiled and said, "What Teacher Lin said is an ordinary copycat. It will hurt the world when robbing a house. We have opened more than 25,000 acres of good land this year, and the grain production is enough for 6,000 people to eat and drink. It is expected to expand to 60,000 acres next year. Come and take a look at our breeding farm."
Lin Chong had never seen a farm where the big pigs lived in a single room in the pig house and the little pigs lived together. He was having fun there, and he saw someone coming to moan and want to eat.
"We have four pig farms, each of which can produce 1,000 pigs per year. The average number of pigs per person will increase next year. In addition, there will be more than 10,000 sheep, 500 cattle, 600 horses, and a winemaking workshop, which can produce good wine." Sun An said.
Lin Chong couldn't help but accept that so much land and livestock were enough to make you feel good about food and clothing, which was truly a paradise.
I came to the brick burning yard again, next to the mountain, and was responsible for burning bricks, mining stones and burning lime. Because there are many such things used in the construction of Taohua Mountain.
Lin Chong said: "I understand that although there are few elite soldiers, these civilians are in an orderly manner. They have obviously received training and are placed on nearby shelves. Once there is something to do, they can gather immediately to form the second echelon."
Sun Andao: "Teacher Lin is indeed an expert. The 300 elite soldiers are professional soldiers, who are trained daily and are responsible for combat. We call the second echelon construction soldiers, responsible for densely populated matters such as logging, reclamation, and mining. We have good combat effectiveness when training every five days. Please see, Teacher Lin."
Sun An shouted: "Get together."
The squadron leader blew the whistle, and the workers were busy without putting down their friends in their hands, picked up the flower guns and knife on the shelves, and quickly assembled in one hundred people. In a short while, a team of 500 people appeared neatly in front of them.
"These are construction soldiers. The formation training is pretty good, but there are few acting. In the past few days, we will practice the defense of the soldiers attacking the mountains." Sun An said.
Sun An said: "Teacher Lin, your martial arts skills are much higher than Zhou Tong's training, so you will be the second leader, Zhou Tong will retire and serve as the third leader. There are also the twelve general managers, each performing his duties."
Lin Chong said: "Lin Chong is just looking for a place to settle down, but how dare he seek a high position? Lin Chong is willing to be the third leader."
Sun Andu said: "This kind of Taohua Mountain is actually the industry of Brother Wu Song. Erlang is not good at Yuntian and saves countless people. Boss Wu intends to build the world's largest carriage, and needs a lot of people, so Teacher Lin should not be humble. If you are good at cavalry warfare, I will give the cavalry to you, and will develop to 500 cavalry, 800 infantry, and 3000 construction soldiers next year. We will lead the troops down the mountain at the right time."
When Lin Chong heard Sun An say this, he agreed.
The welcome dinner in Taohua Mountain is grand and not wasted, and it also improves the life of the village.
More than a dozen pigs and more than a dozen sheep were killed. The village was feasted to celebrate Lin Chong's up the mountain.
Sun An led the troops and government affairs in the mountains, Lin Chong was in charge of the cavalry, and Zhou Tong was in charge of the infantry. There were twenty squadron leaders and more than a dozen general managers. These people at the grassroots level were all confidants sent by Lin Chong from Qinghe County, who helped Zhou Tong reform Taohua Mountain.
The news that Lin Chong went to Taohua Mountain to fall into grass was not strictly blocked, but instead spread through some rumor.
Lin Chong lived a very good life in Taohua Mountain and still trained cavalry. Although there are only one hundred cavalry at present, they are all men from Qingzhou. They train very hard, have good living treatment, and their combat effectiveness has improved rapidly. A few days later, Lin Chong's apprentice, Cao Zheng, heard that his master was in Taohua Mountain and brought his family to Taohua Mountain. After discussing with Lin Chong, he asked Cao Zheng to be the slaughter manager. Cao Zheng's wife was called Zhang Erniang and became the slaughter manager of Taohua Mountain Hotel.
Just when Lin Chong settled down in Taohua Mountain, Wu Song was fighting with the prince Zhao Heng in Bianjing City. Originally, Wu Song didn't plan to get close to the prince, but if he wanted to give the greenhouse vegetables from Qinghe County to the palace, Wu Song could not do it, so he had to pay the first batch of 800 kilograms of melon and vegetables through Zhao Heng's recommendation. Long Yan was very happy and immediately decided to purchase 10,000 kilograms of vegetables as ingredients for the Queen Mother's birthday party.
The fresh vegetables from the Tongda Dache Store franchise store were sold in major vegetable markets in Tokyo. The leeks are 15 cents per pound, cucumbers are 10 cents per pound, and celery is 8 cents per pound. This price is about six to seven times higher than usual. Considering the burning of firewood and coal in the greenhouse, the price is also very suitable. However, these stores soon regretted it. The price underestimated the consumption capacity of the people in the capital. Every time the fresh greenhouse vegetables were shipped, they were sold out by customers who had been waiting for a long time. Not only the people liked it, but also the major yamen in the capital also purchased it. The main reason is that fresh vegetables entered the palace, and the empress dowager and the emperor praised the good taste. Ministers and wealthy businessmen flocked to it. If the restaurants and brothels did not order out-of-season fresh food, it would feel out of date, which led to such a situation.
