An hour later, Yi Yun led Jiang Xiaorou, Zhou Xiaoke and many followers, following the guide of the Jinlong Guard, to his fief.
As a city, Tiandu City belongs directly to the princes of Jingzhou and is the fiefdom of the princes. As for the fiefdoms of the nobles, they are all outside the city.
Yi Yun's fiefdom is about a hundred miles away from Tiandu City, which is considered a very good location.
Upon arriving at the fiefdom, the members of the Lian clan were all amazed.
Yi Yun's fief is not a wasteland with nothing. There is a house on this fief.
To be precise, this is called a manor.
This garden is a few square meters in diameter, which may not sound big, but when you look at it, it is spectacular. The houses are arranged in rows and rows, and there are rockery ponds, water pavilions and wind pavilions. It really looks like the scene of a garden in the south of the Yangtze River.
Such a large house can accommodate thousands of people, let alone less than a hundred people.
Yi Yun knew, however, that the imperial palace in a mortal country, which was only a few miles in radius, could already accommodate thousands or tens of thousands of houses. The eunuchs would light up lamps in each house and ride horses.
"Although a national scholar is the lowest-ranking noble, in the Kingdom of Tai'a, even the lowest-ranking noble is very impressive!"
Yi Yun lamented that the territory of the Tai'a Kingdom was too large to be measured, so all nobles had fiefs. However, the nobility of the Tai'a Kingdom were not hereditary, and the so-called princes only inherited property, not titles.
Without a title, there is no fiefdom. If the descendants are incompetent, many fiefdoms will have to be given up soon.
Therefore, the descendants of princes and nobles often work hard to practice, but they are actually more stressed than ordinary people.
After all, they are used to a life of fine clothing and fine food. They are used to a decent life. Once they cannot maintain this dignity, then for them, it is not only a lack of material, but also the psychological pain caused by being embarrassed.
The main entrance of this house can accommodate four or five carriages traveling in parallel. The red lacquered door and the copper ingots on the door are the size of a fist.
There are two large stone lions squatting at the door. Next to the stone lions, there is a horse-mounted stone carved with flying fish patterns.
Yi Yun led his clan members into the manor.
Pieces of green bricks and red walls, glazed tiles, hundred-year-old trees, pavilions, towers, spacious martial arts training grounds, jasper-like ponds...
The various sights are dizzying.
The members of the Lian clan were all dumbfounded. They had never seen such a house before, let alone heard about it.
In Yunhuang, everyone lives in a few thatched houses with walls made of adobe.
It’s amazing that a house built with bricks and stones is already a mansion.
As for Yi Yun's house, the bricks used to build the house are made from high-quality clay and then polished. The bricks are not only strong but also smooth to the touch.
The wood used to build the house is all high-quality aged pine. As for the snow fir, golden nanmu, etc., Yi Yun's quality is not high enough. It's not that he can't use it. It's just that the quality is not high enough.
The people of the Lian tribe don't know the cost of these houses yet. If they knew, they would be even more shocked.
This is the world of warriors. The materials used in houses built by mortals may sound precious, but they are nothing compared to the treasures of heaven and earth used by warriors.
Yi Yun's two weapons, a Heavenly Blue Bow and a Thousand Saber Sword, any of them are worth much more than this big house!
For a time, the people of the Lian clan were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, feeling novel and excited about everything around them.
They really want to touch and see, but they are afraid of breaking it.
"So big and beautiful!"
Looking at the scene in front of her, Zhou Xiaoke was so happy. When she saw the clear pool, she couldn't help but roll up her trouser legs, take off her shoes, and play in the pool. Her little feet were dazzling.
She chased the butterflies in the garden and played with the koi in the pool, having a great time alone.
The other children of the Lian clan were very envious when they saw Zhou Xiaoke like this. Yi Yun moved with his entourage this time and brought many children with him, because children are the most innocent.
Their minds are relatively simple. When they grow up, they will easily develop feelings for Zhuangzi. In fact, Yi Yun doesn't care about loyalty, as long as they don't have harmful intentions.
On the way to the Central Plains, these children were told by their parents to come to Yi Yun's house. The little boy would be a servant, and the little girl would be Yi Yun's maid. They must understand the rules and not behave like those in the tribe.
Casual.
According to the rules of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, when they entered the Guoshi fiefdom, the household registration they obtained was "to take refuge with the master." Except for Jiang Xiaorou, who had a sibling relationship with Yi Yun, everyone else was a slave, including Zhou Xiaoke.
So now, they are very cautious and don't dare to play as much as Zhou Xiaoke did.
However, Yi Yun carefully selected these people and would not treat them as slaves.
When he left Yunhuang, Yi Yun did a character test on everyone he took. Those with questionable character, those who took advantage of others, and those who bullied the weak, Yi Yun kept them in the wilderness and gave them a little meat.
It died on its own.
This is done to prevent people with evil intentions from getting in.
Some people are inherently bad, and they won't be grateful just because you brought them out of the wilderness. When Yi Yun is around, of course they will behave with their tail between their legs, but once Yi Yun is gone, it's hard to say.
Yi Yun joined the Jinlong Guard and was destined to train and fight in the future. It was normal for him to be away from home for several consecutive years.
If some evil people with evil intentions were allowed in the house, it would be normal for them to betray themselves, cannibalize Zhuangzi's interests, and cause all kinds of damage. They might even do something to Zhou Xiaoke and Jiang Xiaorou. That would be Yi Yun's fault.
Unthinkable consequences.
So in the end, Yi Yun walked out of the wilderness and only took less than a hundred people from the Lian clan with him.
Yi Yundao: "From now on, just treat this Zhuangzi as the same place as the Lian clan. This is our new village. It's just a prettier village. You can play whatever you want without being restricted."
Yi Yun said casually, and the children were a little scared after hearing this. Yi Yun smiled, picked a few children he was familiar with, and asked them to take the children to play.
At first everyone was timid, but then they relaxed and started to play very excitedly.
They chased each other in the corridor, played hide and seek in the rockery, and played in the pool...
The splashes lifted up are like pearls in the sun...
For the children in Dahuang, everything in this mansion is new, making them extremely excited and unable to put it down.
Looking at the innocent smiles of the children and the satisfied smiles of the adults, Yi Yun was also very pleased. It was really good to be able to bring happiness to these kind and honest people.
"From now on, this village will be called Rouyun Villa!"
Yi Yun said this. Jiang Xiaorou was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Yi Yun.
Facing the setting sun, Jiang Xiaorou's face showed an intoxicating blush, "Rouyun Villa... sounds pretty nice..."
Of course she knew that Rouyun Villa was named after a word from her and Yi Yun's names.
Rouyun Villa has clouds and mountains, soft clouds and green mountains. It has a unique artistic conception and gives people unlimited reverie.
…
In addition to the house itself, this manor also has thousands of acres of fertile land behind it, which not only grows crops, but also grows mulberry, hemp, and tea.
Next to the fertile fields, a large river flows, and the water is diverted into the fish ponds, which can be used for irrigation and fish farming.
There are also animal stables and stables not far away, where you can feed the owner's mounts and raise livestock and poultry.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as this manor has some salt and iron in stock, it can be maintained step by step even if it is completely cut off from the outside world, and can be self-sufficient in food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Yi Yun asked Jiang Xiaorou to take charge of allocating a thousand acres of land. According to the population, one person would have more than ten acres, or one hundred people, which was probably the optimal ratio for Yi Yun to support his land.
These people from the Lian clan brought by Yi Yun are considered to be Yi Yun's tenants from now on.
Originally, Yi Yun wanted to take a percentage of their harvest, but Yi Yun would not be limited to this place in the future, nor would he pursue these grains that mortals depended on for survival, so he simply did not take any of them, and all the grain production went to these.
The tenants are at their own disposal.
For this reason, the members of the Lian clan were grateful to Yi Yun. Where could one find such a master?
In the past, in the Lian tribe, most of their labor harvest had to be turned over, and they only received very little food from the Lian tribe headquarters every month.
At that time, the cultivated land was still owned by the entire tribe, but now the cultivated land in Rouyun Villa belongs to Yi Yun alone. Yi Yun farmed it for them rent-free and provided them with food, clothing and shelter. Such a master would be a mess for him.
They were also willing.
When the farmland was divided, even the clan members could not describe their feelings.
In the wilderness, they had never seen such wide and fertile fields. Some old farmers who had been cultivating the land for their entire lives were so happy that they burst into tears and knelt down to kiss the land. For farmers, fields are their lives, and they have an understanding of fields that ordinary people cannot understand.
With deep feelings, land to grow and food to eat, that is the greatest gift from God.
As Yi Yun's sister, Jiang Xiaorou is the mistress of the house.
In such a large manor, with hundreds of people, whoever raises fish and who farms the fields must plan, the accounting office must be clear, and the family rules and regulations must be perfected.
This is all tedious work. Yi Yun has to practice and has no time to do it, so the responsibility falls on Jiang Xiaorou.
Jiang Xiaorou was very smart for her age. Yi Yun just hired a housekeeper in the city to teach Jiang Xiaorou for a few days, and Jiang Xiaorou managed everything in the manor in order.
This made Yi Yun sincerely grateful that he came to this other world to have such a sister who cared about him, took care of him, and shared everything for him.
After Yi Yun settled down at home, he returned to Tiandu City and entered the Jinlongwei camp.
Yi Yun is a divine person, so naturally he cannot stay in the house. He wants to continue his military career... (To be continued.)
