Chapter 137: Fortification

Hao Fenglou was quite enthusiastic about Shenwuwei, and even threw the affairs of Qianhukou to Zhou Fang. He was with Zhu Zhiling Ni every day.

For him, since the Shenwu Guard is an underground organization, it must first have a stronghold. The most important thing about this stronghold is that it is secret enough. Hao Fenglou rode a horse and made several circles around Nanjing, and finally locked his target on the western foot of Zijin Mountain.

It is not far from Nanjing City, but only half an hour away. In addition, because it is leaning against the imperial tomb, no one can easily walk around nearby. As for land, there is no need to buy it. The palace directly gave the land of ten miles nearby to the Hao family in the name of giving the land.

The nobles in the capital all had their own farms, and the Hao family also gave them a lot, with a fief of 300 households, but there were a certain number of land near Nanjing City. It was a 70-8-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight

Now that the land has finally been granted, many of the meritorious people immediately became jealous when they saw it, because many of them had not given land yet, but they could not collect rent after having a title. It was really difficult to rely on a little salary alone.

But when the Hao family suddenly gave land, although many people were jealous, they found out that the land that was given was actually in Zijin Mountain, and those who were eager to cry for the poor suddenly calmed down.

All fools understand that this Purple Mountain is not a good place, it is indeed close to the capital, but the land is not fertile, there are too many mountains and forests, so there is no profit.

Some people even whispered that Hao Fenglou seemed to be as simple as the circulating one. Otherwise, if Your Majesty would give it to him or not, he would give it to a land like the Hao family. If you really value it, you would have to give it a piece of land in Jiangning County.

These gossips did not ruin Hao Fenglou's interest. He and Zhu Zhiling arrived at the territory early in the morning. There were weeds here. There were some farmers nearby, but they were very rare. Some of them were restricted areas, but fortunately, there were no one to guard them. The people of the Bingmasters were too lazy and did not come here for three or two months. As for the main garrison of the imperial guards, the imperial tomb, which was more than ten miles away.

Of course, those farmers still have to stay, whether it is used to cover up the eyes or the grain paid for farming can be hoarded.

As for the house, Hao Fenglou has also been prepared for it and specially designed a courtyard building similar to the shape of the characters. The three layers inside can be used to defend. The courtyard wall must be high and there must be a corner building, so that people can keep an eye on it day and night to prevent outsiders from approaching.

Building houses and sandy land inside. A group of people were recruited in the name of a maintenance home, and recruiting personnel and coaches. There is no rush for the time being. First, it is a castle rather than a house, because the castle is located in the mountains. It is near a lake in the north and the terrain is relatively high. If you want to go up, you must pass the cableway. As long as you guard the cableway, you can be a one-man pass and ten thousand men without opening it.

Such a terrain is of course of great benefit to hidden secrets and defense, but its disadvantages are also obvious. It is that it takes a lot of effort to build it and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Hao Fenglou was very straightforward. In terms of money, he had enough budget. After all, the monthly peace money in Donghuamen has reached nearly 30,000. With the development of these days, the entire Neidongcheng has followed suit. Except for 30% entering the palace, 20% of the total amount can be distributed, and the remaining 50% can be moved out. However, manpower is not easy. It is necessary to allow local governments to recruit labor, quarry, and open the way. This is easy for Hao Fenglou. He is determined to find Yao Guangxiao.

In Jiming Temple, Yao Guangxiao was not surprised by Hao Fenglou's sudden visit. He smiled slightly, called the little shark monk to tea, and said, "I have known your purpose for a long time. There is no airtight wall in the world. What's your Shenwu Guard now?"

Hao Fenglou was ashamed. Remember to keep the secret of what the emperor said to him solemnly and must not let people know. But he ran to tell Yao Guangxiao.

But then again, Yao Guangxiao is the emperor's number one think tank. Zhu Di will not hide many things. After all, Yao Guangxiao knew too many secrets, not that bad. Zhu Di did not kill anyone to silence him, so it was naturally because he could completely trust Yao Guangxiao.

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly and said, "The students came for this Shenwu Guard."

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "Did you bring the tofu?"

Hao Fenglou quickly raised a piece of water tofu made from lotus leaves and said, "It's a little bit."

Yao Guangxiao nodded and said, "Let's have tea first."

Hao Fenglou sipped tea and said, "Master, the student is a little trouble. If this Shenwu Guard is to be built, it must be kept confidential. To keep it confidential, it must be necessary to take measures. The student intends to build this Shenwu Guard in the mountains, but it is necessary to build a large-scale project. It is impossible to have no name. Please ask the master to give it some convenience."

Yao Guangxiao said: "You keep talking."

Hao Fenglou said: "That's right. The master can write a letter to him in the name of asking His Majesty to build a temple in the student's fiefdom. As long as His Majesty is in the name of the court, the court will build a large-scale construction there in the name of allowing the counties to collect civilians and quarry."

Yao Guangxiao said: "Do you want to build a fort for yourself in the name of building a temple?"

Hao Feng Louhe nodded and said, "That's what it means. Anyway, the master is his own person, so you can go there to live there even if you have time."

Yao Guangxiao frowned and said, "If this is the case, I'm afraid it will last too long, right? This fort will not be built for less than three or two years."

Hao Fenglou blinked and said, "Your Majesty naturally knows what our master and apprentice meant. As long as the master handed over the memorial, Your Majesty is willing to spend time, recruit more civilians and use thousands of people. In addition, the students know that there is still a lot of remaining stone accumulation in the imperial tomb, and even the effort of quarrying can be saved. You can build a fortress without having to do it for half a year."

Yao Guangxiao looked at Hao Fenglou and said, "You are considerate. You use it as a shield and the emperor as a cover for you. You even care about the stones."

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly and said, "The students are just doing things for Your Majesty. Your Majesty said that it is not that simple to completely eliminate Jianwen. If you don't even pay this little capital, how can you catch Jianwen?"

Hao Fenglou was very confident in Zhu Di's support, because according to many unofficial historical records, Zheng He's seven voyages to the West were likely to be searching for traces of Jianwen. Zhu Di could provide almost unlimited manpower and material resources in searching for Jianwen. The manpower and material resources required for these seven voyages to the West were enough to support a protracted war. Hao Fenglou just hoped to build a fortress on the mountain, and it was very clear that it was used to recruit people for training, and as a base camp, there was no problem with Zhu Di in this regard.

The master's role is actually to cover up his eyes and ears. This is a secret, and of course it cannot be promoted everywhere. Yao Guangxiao happened to be a monk. It was a natural thing for the emperor to build temples for monks. Throughout the dynasties, countless emperors have made temples for monks and Taoists in the mountains. It is simply common for him to build temples for monks and Taoists.

Yao Guangxiao smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Hao Fenglou, you are moving your master's coffin book. Do you know that if the master writes a letter today, there will be no chance to build a temple in the future."

This is the truth. There is only one opportunity to build a temple. If it is used this time, you can’t be shameless and say that you will build another place next time. But what you want to build now is not a temple at all, but it is more like a semi-military facility. In the future, Yao Guangxiao would probably stay in Jiming Temple honestly.

Hao Fenglou said: "The master is very kind and kind, and the students understand it."

Yao Guangxiao smiled bitterly and said, "Well, who told you to come to the door? But, good disciple, you must be responsible for the rest of your life."

Hao Fenglou burst into tears and almost choked up and said, "Master, I will be responsible for you."

Yao Guangxiao said: "Do you want to make a document?"

Hao Fenglou wanted to squirt blood, but forced himself to smile and said, "No need, we master and apprentice don't have to be so vulgar."

Yao Guangxiao said: "It is better to set up one. It is better to save time to put in bed and go to your house without any support. You will inevitably feel uneasy when you are a teacher."

Hao Fenglou almost suffered internal injuries, and he blushed and finally spit out a word: "Okay."

Yao Guangxiao quickly brought the pen and brushed it a few times: "I have my beloved disciple Hao Fenglou, who has received his teacher's teachings and has many benefits. He is willing to repay his kindness even if he dies thousands of times. I would rather worship his teacher and provide him with food and drink..."

It must be that the draft of the abdomen had been written long ago, so Yao Guangxiao wrote it very quickly. After a few efforts, a "guarantee letter" that had not yet dried in the ink was right in front of Hao Fenglou. Hao Fenglou angrily stamped the picture. Yao Guangxiao happily accepted it and said, "Good disciple, I have been unable to live in this Jiming Temple for a long time. It is not good to be a pure place in Buddhism. Although my heart is for the Buddha, I can't stand the stinky monk here. The Buddha is in my heart, and it is the same wherever I practice.

The teacher will move to your house next month. You need to say hello to Lingzun, Lingtang will come early, clean up a private courtyard, and invite a few novice monks to serve the teacher. The teacher is not picky, but he will occasionally get meat and fish, but after all, he is a Buddhist. He can't do this every day, so he has to invite a few chefs who make vegetarian dishes. If you are a teacher, you know that there is a good vegetarian dish in Wangyue Tower in Nanjing. You can invite him to go, and... "

Hao Fenglou glared and said, "Master, it's better to write a memorial first."

Yao Guangxiao smiled faintly and said, "Don't be furious, just write it now for your teacher."
