A poem was exchanged for 500 acres of land, so Yang Xu was undoubtedly the happiest one in the banquet of King Qin's Mansion this night.

In addition, the happiest is Princess Yifu Zhao Duofu.

The Qingping tune written by Yang Xu was quietly put away by Zhao Duofu, and after the banquet was dispersed, he took it back and hid it in the boudoir.

And King Qin's commensurate relationship with Yang Xu's brother and the gift of Yang Xu a large amount of land also let the officials of King Qin's family know how important Yang Xu's weight was in King Qin's heart.

Therefore, although Yang Xu did not enter the court, in the hearts of some officials in the court, his status was no less than that of some important ministers.

The 500 acres of land rewarded by King Qin were soon transferred to Yang Xu's name.

After getting the title deed, Yang Xu was very excited for a while.

According to his plan, as long as the spring of next year begins, he can use these hundreds of acres of land to do a big job.

As soon as the New Year passed, Yang's Restaurant and Yang's Perfume Shop continued to open, and other shops in the imperial capital city also began to open, and the whole city became lively again.

Because he had recently acquired 500 acres of land, Yang Xu often traveled back and forth between the imperial capital and the manor.

It's just that what makes him depressed is that there have been several heavy snowfalls in the area of the imperial capital, and after the sky clears, the snow melts, and the imperial capital is okay in the city, it is a bluestone paved road, but the road leading to the manor outside the city is muddy and extremely difficult to walk.

Helpless, Yang Xu had to stay in the imperial capital for a while, waiting for the road to dry and hard, and then go to the manor.

"If you can build a concrete road, rain and snow or something, it won't matter...... Well, if cement is made, it is also a way to make money! ”

On this day, Yang Xu stayed in the small courtyard behind the Yang family restaurant and began to think about the cement.

In this era, there was naturally no cement, from the small people's houses to the construction of cities, and the materials used were nothing more than wood, masonry, terracotta, loess, lime, sand, mortar and other things.

Yang Xu knows some of the production methods of soil cement, although the strength of the cement produced is not as strong as the cement produced by the industrial assembly line, but in this era when there is no heavy machinery to roll the road, it is enough.

Besides, after the early cement is produced, it can also be continuously tested and improved on this basis to improve the hardness of cement.

Yang Xu thought of it, and when the weather was fine and the road surface was a little dry and hard, he went to the manor outside the city, and asked people to look around for limestone, clay, slag and so on needed to produce cement.

After that, with the assistance of Yang Fugui, Yang Dazhi and other Yangjiazhai villagers, he began to carry out cement trial production.

This matter was classified as highly confidential by Yang Xu, and everything was going on in secret.

Now that the manor has expanded many times, and the production base of perfume soap is also within the manor, security has become a big problem.

There are only more than 100 people in Yangjiazhai, and most of them have been arranged to work in Yang's Restaurant and Yang's Perfume Shop, and they can't be transferred back to take care of the manor.

Although there is a grandfather guarding the gate of the manor, and a few villagers patrolling day and night, Yang Xu feels that this number of people is far from enough to protect the manor.

Yang Xu thought about it for a while, so he took a time to go to King Qin's mansion and ask King Qin for some manpower.

Yang's Restaurant and Yang's Perfume Shop now have a share of King Qin, and King Qin also attaches great importance to these two industries.

Yang Xu was going to hand over the security work of the restaurant and perfume shop and some non-critical positions to the people of King Qin, and he was going to draw back some of the villagers in Yangjiazhai.

The villagers of Yangjiazhai, regardless of men, women and children, have almost all practiced martial arts, and their single combat power is very strong.

But as the saying goes, if you punch your master to death, in Yang Xu's view, individual bravery can never compare to collective combat.

is like the grandmaster in this world, although the strength is strong, if you face a number of first-class masters who cooperate tacitly and integrate offense and defense, you may not have a chance of winning.

Therefore, after Yang Xu transferred those strong Yangjiazhai villagers back to the manor, he invited several elites from the army from the King of Qin, and formulated a set of offensive and defensive formations similar to those that cooperate with each other in the army, and conducted strict training.

In the vicinity of the imperial capital, if a team composed of nearly 100 masters can be trained, and then after strict training, it will undoubtedly be a great force to reach the realm of 100 people as one and cooperate tacitly.

As long as there is no attack from the army, it should be more than enough to use this force to protect the Yang family's manor.

The work of developing cement was carried out in an orderly manner, and Yang Xu personally participated in it, so for a long time, it did not appear in the imperial capital.

As a result, many people began to speculate that Yang Xu was "missing" during this time, and it was very likely that he was making some money-making business again.

There are also some powerful people in the imperial capital city, thinking about going to Yang Xu to see if there is an opportunity for cooperation.

After all, Yang Xu has the name of the little God of Wealth, and every business he does not only makes money, but also makes huge profits.

There were even some high-ranking and powerful ministers in the court, who sighed, thinking that if it were not for the intervention of the Qin Palace, Yang Xu's restaurant and perfume shop business would have been divided by them a long time ago.

As for Yang Xu, since he has openly defected to King Qin, there is no need to hide or avoid anything.

Yang Xu is a white-clothed person, and the King of Qin is not afraid of being attacked by the courtiers when he interacts with him.

On the day of the successful development of cement, Yang Xu invited King Qin to come to Yangjiazhuang for a look.

King Qin didn't know what cement was, but when he heard Yang Xu say that if this thing was successfully studied, it would be of great significance, and it would be a good thing for the country and the people, so he happily went.

King Qin's trip attracted the attention of many well-intentioned people, and even Emperor Qinglong in the palace was also a little interested.

Bang'er came to the Yang family's manor in person, indicating that what Yang Xu made up this time must be something he was extremely interested in. Well, Xiao Dezi, you can also pay attention to it for me, and see what new things Yang Xu has come up with......"

Emperor Qinglong told the eunuch Sun De.

Sun De bowed to be.

Although Sun De was only an old eunuch, he had followed Emperor Qinglong the longest, and Emperor Qinglong trusted him more than anyone else.

In addition, the Jinyi Guard under the leadership of Sun De is full of ears and eyes, everywhere, inside and outside the imperial capital, but whenever there is a little wind and grass, it is difficult to escape his ears and eyes.

Therefore, no one dared to despise Sun De, and they respected and feared him.

The news of King Qin's visit to the Yang family's manor naturally couldn't hide the prince and the king of Jin, who had many ears and eyes, and they each sent people to pay close attention to the matter.

What Yang Xu didn't expect was that he invited the King of Qin, but when the King of Qin came to the Yang family's manor, he found Zhao Duobao and Zhao Duofu in the honor guard of the King of Qin.

Zhao Duobao likes to play and make trouble, and there are many poultry in the Yang family manor, so as soon as she arrived, the chickens and dogs in the Yang family manor suddenly jumped.
