New Empire at the End of Ming Dynasty

Liu Bu is very satisfied with Liu Fuqi's answer. After all, it is the three generations of the Liu family. Although it is said that they are not related by blood, they can be regarded as relatives after living together for so long. Moreover, the Liu family is thin, and the big house has no other brothers except Liu Yuanqiao.

So it's the housekeeper who guards the old house. Think about how much trust it needs to guard the old house.

Now that Liu Bu returned, he was one of the young masters. At his command, Liu Fuqi agreed without hesitation.

After two days of traveling, he felt sour and numb all over, so he went in for a hot bath under the arrangement of housekeeper Liu.

Although the main people of the Liu family no longer live in the old house, they only come back to worship their ancestors at the Tomb Sweeping Day and the Double Ninth Festival every year. They only come back for a while, but the decoration here is still very luxurious. The weeds in the home are trimmed neatly and spotless. It seems that even if there is no master here, Liu Fuqi does the same work as the master here and does it very seriously.

Here is another episode. When Liu Bu took a bath, two beauties came in to rub his back. He looked a little embarrassed, and then said, "I don't need your service. Go out?"

Liu Bu hasn't seen such a beautiful scene yet. He certainly doesn't dare to be served by beautiful women. Although they are two beautiful women, they are still quite good in shape. Anyway, they are more beautiful than the girl Liu Bu wanted to pursue, but now he has a better pursuit and goal in his heart. Then he is embarrassed to engage in his servants and servants at home, It has a bad reputation.

The most important thing is that he is not the former Liu bu. The former Liu Bu is a dissolute childe who stubbornly makes himself an empty childe, but Liu Bu is different. He is not such a person. He is not used to this kind of enjoyment and this way.

After taking a hot bath, Liu bu also had to change into new clothes. He felt that his whole body was fresh and comfortable, like a few kilograms lighter. Then, under the guidance of the housekeeper, he inspected the main places of the Liu family's mansion.

Nominally, he said that after looking at the place, whether the servant was lazy and whether the family had changed. In fact, he had never been here at all. This is the first time. He must recognize that you can't even know what your hometown looks like. Therefore, although he didn't say a word, he secretly wrote down everything.

Needless to say, the luxury and style of Liu's house is that as a spare tire, there are only hundreds of servants here. Although most of them are old and weak, there are also 20 or 30 guards and servants, which is unmatched by many rich families in Jiangnan. Therefore, Liu Bu has the idea that they are powerful families.

There are huge houses, small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and high-rise buildings. Liu Bu only saw such a large house and such a huge house of ancient architecture on TV. After watching it once, he thought that this is really a rich family. It is a pity if the house is destroyed by war and fire. Should this be one of the standard configurations of literati, bureaucrats and nobles in this era?

After eating, Liu Bu returned to his study and carefully looked at the account book sent by the housekeeper Liu Fuqi. He also had a preliminary understanding of how much money, resources and human and material resources there were.

In this era, the bank is still a new thing, and no one is used to storing money in the bank. Like a pawnshop, the bank belongs to a place that only borrows and does not save money. Therefore, rich people will store their gold and silver treasures in their own treasure house or secret warehouse.

The money earned by the Liu family for several generations is also stored here. Only the owner Liu Yuanqiao knows the detailed location. Even Liu Bu doesn't know, but Liu Bu knows that the core treasure house of their family should be near the old house.

The Liu family only has two men, Liu Yuanqiao and Liu Yuan. Therefore, Liu Bu has nothing to think about. No one will seek his property, and no one has the ability to rob him of property, so he doesn't have much to think about. He can't afford to play house fighting here. As long as his men don't cheat, embezzle and bribe his money, he won't have a good head.

Here he can trust only Liu Kang, Liu Ning and Liu Yu. Apart from the housekeeper, he couldn't name the others. His impression has faded over time. Moreover, there are so many servants at home. How can he remember them one by one?

But the Liu family provided him with extremely good resources, so that he had the ability to create a career quickly.

Now the problem he faces is that he has to keep the foundation created by his ancestors. There is a truth that it is difficult to fight rivers and mountains, and it is more difficult to keep rivers and mountains. Now they are equivalent to the era of keeping rivers and mountains.

Of course, the absolute core of the Liu family is Liu Yuanqiao and his position as deputy head of Linqing banknote customs. With this position, he can smuggle goods, evade taxes, accept bribes openly, make a lot of money, and then give back a lot to the family.

On the other hand, even if Liu Yuanshan's house has been operated in the army, it seems that there is nothing to do in this regard. The war soldiers and border troops of the Ming Dynasty will not allow these people to touch. Only the guards can make ideas, but these guards are basically garbage soldiers. They can't even guard against theft, thieves and bandits, let alone expect them to fight, It's just looking at the home.

In fact, there are nearly 500 guard stations in Daming, which are basically abandoned. These nominal Guard soldiers are actually tools and slaves of officials. It's a little funny that you can expect these people to fight.

The next morning, Liu Bu got up early. After breakfast, he changed into the coquettish Mingguang armour sent by Liu Yuanshan. Then, under the protection of Liu Kang, Liu Ning, Liu Yu, Liu Yong and dozens of bodyguards, he took them to Fushan Qianhu health center.

Fushan Wei is a floating mountain city. After the establishment of Fushan, the temple began to be built in accordance with the regulations of the court at that time. There were Jade Emperor Temple, Buddha Temple, three Qing temple, Zhenwu temple, Nagai temple, Town God's Temple, Dragon King Temple, Guan Yu Temple, Temple of horse, shrine of the family altar, flag beetle shrine, Guanyin temple, etc. the ginkgo tree near the South Pavilion Temple and nearly 300 years old is still alive. This was planted during the construction of the Fushan garrison, which witnessed the ups and downs and changes of characters in the past 300 years.

When the city of Fushan was first built, in order to raise troops and horses, a cross street was opened in the city as the central street. Nange temple is located at the south end of Nanbei street. The temple is built in the north half of a platform about seven meters high, 20 meters long from east to west and 10 meters wide from north to south. Because it looks like a pavilion, it is often called Nange temple. Nange temple is a temple group integrating Taoism and Buddhism, with a great deal of incense. When the temple was built, a variety of ginkgo trees were planted on both sides of the north of the temple. Ginkgo trees are like to be planted here. Ginkgo trees are also planted in Yuhuang temple and Guandi temple, which looks ancient and vigorous and has a strong historical flavor.

There are only three gates in the four walls of Fushan Weisuo City, because there is no South Gate, the north and South are backed by Fushan, and there are walls but no gates.

Since Fushan Institute, an important military defense unit, has been established, it is natural to build relevant supporting facilities, but it is not a day's work to build a city.

Liu Bu looked at the recorded data. The city of Fushan was slightly rectangular, 422 meters long from north to south, 403 meters wide from east to west, about 1500 meters long, covering an area of about 17 hectares. The city was not large, but it was built for 14 years at that time, and it was not completely completed until 1402. To resist the Japanese pirates, it is natural to have a strong wall. The wall of Fushan city is about 8m high and 5m thick. It is made of rammed earth. It is also covered with green bricks. There are battlements (low walls) on the city. It looks quite large and majestic from outside the city.

Due to the earth borrowing from the city wall, several earth pits were left in the city. Later, four larger earth pits formed a water bay, namely Sujia Bay, Yujia Bay, Beiwan and Dongcao Bay. Among them, Sujia Bay has the largest area, covering an area of about 2000 square meters.

Fushan Suo city was constructed according to the regulations of the current Dynasty. There is a cross street in the city, which can run horses and drive. The official office is located in the west of the intersection of the cross street and the north of the street. The two streets evenly divide the rectangular Suo city into four parts, and each surname gathers in different districts.

In the early years of this dynasty, in order to fight against Japanese pirates, Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to set up guard stations in coastal areas, so he set up Fushan imperial Qianhu station by Fushan Bay, referred to as Fushan station for short.

Su Wang, the ancestor of the Su family, who once joined the army with Zhu Yuanzhang, came here with his family to serve as the thousands of families in Fushan and grant the title of general Wude. Up to now, the Su family has inherited the position of thousands of families for nine generations and rooted in this land. Now it is because of the Wuqiao mutiny that the original thousands of families and their son died and lost their inheritance right.

Fushan mountain is a beautiful peak in the southwest corner of Laoshan mountain range. When it is going to rain, the sea fog rises and curls around the peak. Looking from a distance, the peaks are like floating among clouds. Therefore, it was originally called Fushan mountain, later referred to as Fushan. Fushan was built two kilometers away from the West foot of Fushan mountain, so it is named Fushan.

The full name of Fushan guard is Fushan stronghold, which is the military stronghold. Before the establishment of Fushan Qianhu stronghold, it was once a military stronghold with defense barriers and garrisons. Defense means defense. The Japanese pirates were rampant in this dynasty, and the coastal people suffered deeply. During the Hongwu Period, Emperor Taizu ordered to set up a wide range of guard stations along the coast. Only in 1388, Aoshan guard station, Fushan station and xiongya station were set up in the sea area of Qingdao.

The former represents the military sequence of Fushan station. In the military system of this dynasty, the guards preparing Japanese along the coast generally belong to the right (or left), front and rear three thousand households. The thousand household office is the establishment specification. The thousand household office has 1120 sergeants, who are subordinate to the Wei, and their chief is the five grade thousand household.

Su Wang, the ancestor of the Su family, came here as a thousand family official during the Hongwu Period and granted general Wude. Together with the other hundred family officials Yu, Yang, Jiao, Kang, Mao, Zhang and Wang, as well as the Ding, Zhan, Hou and Ge surnames, they became the main ethnic groups settled in Fushan in the Ming Dynasty. They were the earliest residents in Fushan, earlier than the Liu family, and were local snakes, But the Liu family came from behind.

This is called a thousand sails on the side of a sunken boat, and thousands of trees spring in front of dead tree piles.
