The pace of time is in a hurry, the years are long, the old mountain picnic on that day beat a wild boar, the next day after the gathering to distribute to everyone, Zhao Yuan's family added a few members, but also a refugee from Danling.

The family's situation was even more miserable than that of the Tao Pu family, because they fled the war and famine, and came to Shu to sell themselves to a large family in the county town halfway, and later because the big family was transferred to the county's tooth shop because of business problems, and it was transferred to Huang Qiming in Gray Yuan Town several times. When rushing to the market, Huang Qiming found Zhao Yuan and explained the situation of this family.

There are a total of six people in this family, two old couples in their fifties, named Jia Yu and Sun Ying, as well as their sons and daughters-in-law Jia Yang and Xue Yao, both of whom are thirty-four or five years old, and two boys, Jia Xian and Jia Jian, the older Jia Xian is seventeen years old, and the younger Jia Jian is fourteen years old.

The Jia family was originally the same as the farmers in Zhaojiazhuang, they were all rural farmers, and after being sold by large families, the long-term fatigue broke out, and the old couple fell ill, which is why they were transferred to Huang Qiming in Gray Yuan Town. Huang Qiming thought that when he chatted with Zhao Yuan before, he said that he wanted a few people at home to help manage the chores at home, so he recommended it to Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan asked a few people some words, and decided that it was quite appropriate, so he paid for the contract of the six members of the Jia family, and then cured the illness of the old two, and then slowly handed over some things at home to their family to take care of.

In a few days, some of the fish in the fish pond in the middle of the old mountain, a lot of them were fished back and put into the fish pond, the family's farm has been expanded, adding four pigs, four donkeys, six sheep and a cow, for the feed of these animals, Zhao Yuan also spent a small amount of money to let the villagers of Yakou Village, Zhulin Village, and Dongquan Village help cut pigweed and grass for cattle, sheep and donkeys to eat, and let them send a batch regularly.

The earthworm farm was also opened, which also caused a sensation in several villages, and Zhao Yuan's purchase of earthworms made them particularly incomprehensible, and they did not understand what he was collecting them for.

Zhao Yuan also asked someone to collect a large number of humus layers on some mountains for many years, and almost piled up these dead branches and rotten leaves in a clearing, and the earthworms collected were also put into it.

In the fish pond, Zhao Yuan found some aquatic plants from some water currents and put them in it, and when the fish feed was not made, he could only rely on the fish in the fish pond to grow naturally.

Everything at home was arranged, with Jia Yu's family to help take care of it, Zhao Yuan also told Tao Pu to go back from time to time to take a look during the time he was out, so he took Meng Ying, Luoluo, Shao Meng, and Guo Du two guards, followed the Zhang family's cargo team to the county seat, and went to Danling County.

"Uncle, how long are we going to go to the county seat?" In the carriage, Luoluo asked.

"I'm not sure yet, I shouldn't be there for a few days, Luoluo is going out for the first time, are you happy?"

"Happy, I don't know how the county town compares to home?" Luoluo said expectantly.

"That will definitely be more prosperous, Xiaoying, why are you a little nervous?" Zhao Yuan looked at Meng Ying and said.

"I'm a little worried about the livestock at home, and I've never been this far away."

"It's okay, everything is arranged at home, there is no problem with Danling, Second Brother Wan will arrange it." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Luoluo, let's sing a song." In order to alleviate the anxiety of going out for the first time, Zhao Yuan said to Luoluo.

"What song, uncle?" Luoluo asked.

"Sing a random song, I remember to teach Luoluo a lot of songs for you, you can sing whatever song you like." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, uncle, you let me think about it." Luoluo frowned and said, Uncle taught himself to sing too many songs, which one is good to sing, and some songs still can't remember how to sing.

After a while, in the carriage that Zhao Yuan was riding, Luoluo's singing voice came out, and a group of people in the same company showed a knowing smile, and the little girl sang so beautifully.

Gray Yuan Town is not far from Danling County, only more than 20 kilometers, the accompanying Zhang family convoy pulled the goods, not walking fast, the little girl Luoluo also changed from the initial excitement to no energy, and soon fell asleep in Meng Ying's arms.

"Xiaoying, it should take a while to arrive, you can also sleep for a while, I'll go sit in front for a while." Zhao Yuan said to Meng Ying.

The carriage of this era, because there was no shock-absorbing equipment, was very bumpy to walk on the road, and it would be very tiring to sit on it for a long time.

"Brother Yuan, go ahead, I'm fine." Meng Ying smiled at Zhao Yuan and said.

"Okay, you call me for something." After Zhao Yuan finished speaking, he pushed open the curtain of the carriage, let Shao Meng, who was driving the carriage, give way, and sat down next to him.

"Master, tired of sitting?" Shao Meng said to Zhao Yuan with a smile.

"Come out and take a breath, it's not a good road." Zhao Yuan looked at the uneven dirt road and said.

"It's okay, it hasn't rained in the last few days, and the road is quite dry." Shao Meng said with a smile.

"You didn't stay in the county seat for long when you came to Danling County, how is Danling County?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"I don't know the specifics, but the county is almost the same, compared with the town, it's just a little more people, a little more shops, and a little more rich and powerful people." Shao Meng laughed.

"Yes." Zhao Yuan nodded.

"Master, when you get to the county seat, you may have to ask the second young master to find two more people to follow, I heard from the people in the Zhang family's convoy that there have been some unpeace everywhere recently, and Mrs. and Miss are here." Shao Meng said.

"Don't worry about this, I'm sure he'll arrange it for us." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.

Zhao Yuan also has some understanding of the situation in Danling County, in fact, not only Danling, but many places in Shu are now in a similar situation, and the peace of many years seems to be slowly broken.

"Yes, the Second Young Master will be thoughtful."

"Is Guo Du behind?" Zhao Yuan asked again.

"He followed the people of the Zhang family's caravan, and by the way, he took care of your luggage, master." Shao Meng said.

"If the county is too chaotic, we will come back after participating in the IPO, and then Shao Meng, you will help the family train some manpower, and there will be a storm in Shudi." Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said.

During this period of getting along, Zhao Yuan felt that Shao Meng was a very stable person, and some things could be relied on to help him solve, and he could train a self-preservation force, which could be put on the agenda after this trip to Danling, but in what name?

"No problem, the young people from several villages near the master's house saw us practicing boxing, and they are interested in learning along, and when the time comes, the master can gather them together and train them, which can come in handy." Shao Meng thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll think about this again, by the way, there is no problem with the five of you at home, right?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"There is no problem, if there is something at home, someone from the family will send us a letter, don't worry, master."

"After a while, you should take your turn to go home and have a look, and you should also think about becoming a family." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

Along the way, Zhao Yuan looked at the scenery along the way, chatted with Shao Meng about family life, and soon came to the boundary of Danling County, and saw the city wall and gatehouse of the county from a distance.
