…
On the way from Ji Niao Ancient Village to Que Dong Village Orchard.
Ah Chen and Ah Mo galloped ahead on horseback, followed closely by Yang Ah Hu and Ah Quan with their men, along with several Miao girls.
They chatted and laughed along the way.
In a burst of passion, Ah Chen burst into song: You are the wind, I am the sand!
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the peaks rise one after another.
Ah Chen and his companions arrived at the highest peak in the northeast of Que, gazing at the vast sky around them, feeling incredibly relaxed and at ease.
Behind Achen and Amo, two horses lowered their heads and grazed on the grass.
Yang Ahu and Aquan rested on the side. There were clearly shortcuts along the way, so they couldn't understand why Achen had taken a detour.
Even Amo didn't understand.
But at this moment, Ah Chen still took out the paper and pen he always carried with him and started sketching, as if he were making a simple map.
"Amo, that direction."
After a moment, Ah Chen pointed to the southeast horizon and asked Ah Mo, "Can I vaguely see that the highest mountain behind our Que Dong Village and Hei Wu Village?"
"Yes, Phoenix Mountain is right next door, so what?"
How far is it from here?
"It's about 12 or 13 kilometers as the straight line, but with the detours up and down the mountain, it's at least 20 kilometers!"
As Achen marked the map, he asked, "Then... taking this place as the northern boundary, and the highest mountain behind Que Dong Village and Hei Wu Village as the southern boundary, about ten kilometers to the right, which branch village's hilltop and land are we talking about?"
land?
Upon hearing this, Yang Ahu and Aquan, who were resting in the back, immediately got up and strode over.
"It depends on which area you've circled in detail, but the direction you're referring to is mostly the boundary between the short-skirted and long-skirted Miao branches."
Yang Ahu quickly spoke up, "Achen, we have plenty of land in Balong Ancient Village. Go to our area, and we'll give you whatever land you want to claim."
“Yes, yes, we have many in Balang Ancient Village too, Ah Chen, you can choose any of them.” Ah Quan immediately chimed in.
Ah Chen turned around and said, "The Balang Ancient Village is already in my plans!"
"Really? That's good, that's good."
Hearing that his village was already included in Ah Chen's plans, Ah Quan finally felt relieved after being worried for several days!
Before he arrived, the chieftain had repeatedly instructed him to find out whether Ah Chen was satisfied with their side.
"What about our Balong Ancient Village?"
"We'll have to wait a little longer to see Balong Ancient Village."
"Wait a little longer? Ah Chen, do you still hate Yang Aze?"
Yang Ahu looked at Achen and said, "If so, I'll go and tie up Yang Aze for you, so you can vent your anger."
“Brother Hu, my personal grudge with Yang Aze was settled the other day! Now we’re talking about serious business.”
"Then you—" Yang Ahu was a little confused.
Ah Chen said, "I'm waiting for something at your Balong Ancient Village!"
Waiting for something?
Yang Ahu glanced at Aquan beside him, and Aquan shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand what Achen meant either.
Yang Ahu turned his head to the side and naturally looked at Amo next to Achen.
Amo pursed her lips and shook her head, as if to say: I don't know either.
"Holy Maiden, you are Ah Chen's bedmate, don't you know that?"
The person next to you in bed?
Hearing this, Amo, who was still a girl, blushed and glared at Yang Ahu.
Yang Ahu shrank his neck.
Amo asked Achen, "Do you have any concerns about the Qingmiao branch?"
“It’s not a concern! It’s just that some things are hard to say. If nothing goes wrong, Balong Ancient Village will become the key Miao village in my plan, which will connect with Balang Ancient Village. But if something goes wrong, we’ll have to wait there.”
Yang Aze and his men had no idea what would happen to their village next year, given that it was a musket ownership license approved by the higher-ups of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Once this certificate arrives, Ah Chen can start using it without much worry.
But if something goes wrong, not only will his investment go down the drain, but it will also harm the orchards in Quedong Village and Heiwu Village.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Ah Chen had to wait, because he couldn't take the risk.
Anyway, the Balong Ancient Village area can't be developed in the next two or three years, so it's okay to wait a little longer.
"Ah Chen, what do you want to plant this time? How much land do you plan to take?"
Ah Chen looked at Ah Mo with affection and said gently, "The initial estimate is 1,800 mu of land, but I need to go back and calculate the exact amount, because this is a large-scale project."
"More than 1,800 mu?"
Yang Ahu and Aquan were horrified, and they both started counting on their fingers.
Seeing this, Amo laughed and said, "None of you know what Achen is going to do with the land this time. Can you figure it out? Is it based on the orchard area as the standard?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Ahu was stunned, and his old face immediately turned red!
The light from Amo's contact lenses returned to Achen, and she said, "Although I don't know your plans this time, whatever your arrangements are, once they're finalized, you'll have to build roads, and the terrain here makes road construction very difficult."
"I'll go back and write down the plan. You can review it and then we can discuss it further! But---"
"There are some more important things to prepare in advance."
Ah Chen turned around and said to Yang Ah Hu and Ah Quan, "Let's escort them here. You should hurry back and organize all the data I need. Try to finalize the school's arrangements before Ah Mo returns to Yanjing."
“Ah Chen, this distance to the orchard doesn’t look far, but it’s actually quite a long walk.”
