Jia Yuan came faster than expected.

Here, Aunt Huo Liujie had just steamed the rice cakes, and Jia Yuan came with Niu Erlang over there.

"Fifth brother is back!" Jia Yuan's face was full of joy.

Huo Wu also greeted him and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Second Brother Jia, this is a high promotion!" ”

Jia Yuan glanced at Huo Bao behind Huo Wu and said, "It's all luck, and the most thankful thing is Xiaobao's nephew!" ”

Huo Wu waved his hand and said, "Our Xiaobao is smart and has a long-term vision, but in the end, your uncle has to believe in him!" ”

It was not a place to speak, so the two of them entered the hall.

Uncle Huo beckoned Huo Bao to come out and went to the West Chamber.

Huo Bao's house was still empty, and the uncle and nephew were talking here.

Huo Bao carefully paid attention to Uncle Huo's expression, afraid that the old man would be sad to know about this bloodline.

Seeing this, Uncle Huo said: "Raising grace is greater than giving birth, the grandfather adopted five sons and gave five lives, and the five houses inherited the surname of the grandfather, and the grandchildren of the five houses will always be the grandchildren!" ”

Huo Bao didn't know how to answer.

No wonder Second Grandpa Huo said that his father was dying and was worried about the inheritance of the eldest son's bloodline, and it should be that grandfather knew something about the eldest son's unmarried.

"It's just that we know it in our own hearts, but outsiders mostly have to talk about distance according to blood kinship...... Now that we have more cousins of the Deng family, as well as the second grandfather's branch, it is better not to make extraneous branches, your uncle left a message back then, saying that if someone questions our inheritance, just say that your eldest uncle and second uncle are stepsons...... I'll discuss it with your father, and that's how it will be in the future...... It's just like this, and you don't need to explain it to the juniors, just talk to the second master in private......"

Huo Bao nodded and said, "Listen to the uncle." ”

originally thought that Uncle Huo was the most important blood relation, but he didn't expect that he had already known in his heart that there was no blood relationship in each room.

looked at his previous cousins, but they were all really close to him.

If there is no change now, the secret of the bloodline of the five rooms will definitely be taken underground by Uncle Huo, and the descendants of the Huo family in Nanshan Village should only be of the same origin and support each other.

Huo Bao admired it in his heart, this is kind and accessible.

Jia Yuan came and went in a hurry, and Niu Erlang was ordered by Uncle Huo to call people to the city

"Let's go, let's go!"

Uncle Huo's decision was also happy.

Second Master Huo can make a decision, and Uncle Huo understands the truth of "one glory and one loss".

The yard rented in the city was handed over directly to Niu Dalang.

As for the occupation of Binjiang, whether it was a "rebellion", the Huo family did not mention it.

Niu Dalang looked at his son who was following Niuniu and couldn't help but hesitate.

Both of them were in Qianhu, and the small stools were entrusted to Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo to take care of; Now that the Huo family is gone, the small stool is left alone, and no one takes care of it.

But after hesitating, he didn't open his mouth in the end, after all, it was the two families, and they had already been stained with a lot of light from the Huo family, so don't add to the chaos.

Wait until the Huo family hired a carriage and loaded the luggage.

Jia Yuan went and returned, along with Jia Yan and Shi Jin.

Jia Yan had already read Xue Biao's handwriting, and did not mention anything to keep people, but he also replied to his own letter. In front of Huo Wu and Shi Jin, Jia and Xue mentioned that their relatives remained unchanged.

Shi Jin looked inexplicable here, and asked Huo Wu to take care of his cousin and cousin again.

Huo Wu saw it in his eyes, his heart moved, and he happily agreed.

Because they made an appointment with Huo Lin to meet at the ferry before the beginning of Youchu, the Huo family and his party did not delay and left Jinling after lunch.

Niu Dalang asked Erlang to stay and take care of the small stool, and personally ferry to send people away.

Huo Bao did not rush to the grain store to find Xue Xiao, but sent his father to the ferry.

When I arrived at the ferry, I saw Jia Yuan waiting on the side of the road on horseback.

Behind Jia Yuan, two big cars were parked, piled high on them, covered with tarpaulins, and the people who drove the cars were not officers and soldiers, but domestic servants dressed up.

"Fifth brother, fortunately, I am not dishonored!"

Jia Yuan saw the Huo family's carriage and dismounted to greet him.

Huo Wu looked at the two big cars, and instead of joy, he frowned and said, "This ...... Could it be too much? You've just been promoted, don't drag you down! ”

Jia Yuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Fifth brother, don't worry, this car belongs to my younger brother Zhang Luo, and the other car is made by Shi Jin...... The news in the army is the fastest, and it is estimated that he also knows the news from Chuzhou......"

In addition to the state capital, Chuzhou naturally also includes the three counties of Lingshui, Quyang and Binjiang.

Huo Wu said happily: "This love, the fifth brother has received it!" Our brothers are close, we should come and go often, and drink two cups next time! ”

Jia Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "I have something to do, ask the fifth brother to help me!" ”

"Come on!"

"There is a vacancy in the thousand households in the north of the city, and the new prefect has filled the vacancy for his brother-in-law, who used to serve in the 100 households in Pizhou, and now he should be ordered to go south......"

"Don't worry, leave it to the fifth brother!"

"That brother is waiting for the good news of the fifth brother!"

"Okay, wait! The new prefect is greedy for money, so you can prepare more silver, and if it's not enough, you will mention it to your fifth brother! ”

"I won't talk to the fifth brother again!"

There are many people at the ferry, and Jia Yuan said goodbye.

Huo Wu and Niu Dalang drove a carriage and continued to the ferry.

At the ferry, the Holin family has arrived.

One daughter, two children.

The daughter is Huo Lin's wife, and the two children are both teenagers, and they are Huo Lin's son and nephew.

When relatives meet, they have to talk about their generations.

After the greetings here, Zhu Gang brought the scouts and loaded the boat.

Niu Qing stayed at Beidukou, but there was no one around Huo Wu.

"You take someone to escort everyone across the river, I'll wait for you at this ferry!" Huo Bao instructed Zhu Gang.

Zhu Gang received the order and assigned the scouts to board the ship.

Seeing this, Huo Wu didn't stop him, but just explained to his son: "Whether it's salt or iron, it's not as important as you!" ”

"Changzhou is the territory run by the seventh uncle, and Songjiang is the hometown of the eighth uncle, and the son will not act recklessly!"

"Remember, you're Daddy's lifeline!"

"Dad also take care of himself, but he can't get sick anymore, Dad is the backbone of the child!"

As the father and son spoke, they were both uneasy.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves "stomping" could be heard.

The father and son looked over, and saw that a few horses were from far and near, and the leader was not someone else, it was Xue Xiao.

"Brother Bao has not been to the shop, I am afraid that something will happen, I went to look for the fifth uncle and the Bao brother, only to know that the fifth uncle will return today. It's all my fault, Brother Qing stayed in Jiangbei, so I should take someone to escort Wubo......" Xue Xiao turned over and dismounted to ask for guilt.

"I'm just picking up people, and there's nothing to do, where do you need to guard me? Everyone is waiting for the rice to go to the pot, and the grain shop is serious. Huo Wu waved his hand.

When Huo Wu and Huo Lin agreed on the return time, they were not in front of anyone, so Xue Xiao didn't know, so naturally he couldn't blame him.

Seeing that the boy soldiers were all on the boat, Xue Xiao discussed with Huo Bao again: "Brother Bao, why don't I send the five uncles to cross the river?" ”

"Whoever sends it is not sent, no need to toss, just let Zhu Gang go."

Seeing Huo Wu's boat leave, Huo Baocai asked, "Over there at the grain store, how much grain can be transported out at the moment?" ”

"Our lord stored four warehouses of grain in Jinling last year, only one warehouse of new grain, and the other three warehouses were old grains from the official warehouse. In the past half a year, I went to Changzhou to half a warehouse of old grain, sent half a warehouse of old grain to Chuzhou, and now there are three warehouses of grain! 1,000 stone per storehouse! A total of 3,000 koku! ”

One stone of grain is one hundred and twenty catties, and three thousand stones are three hundred and sixty thousand catties.

26,000 people, nearly 14 catties per capita; 8,000 people, 40 catties per capita; 4,000 people, 90 catties per capita.

It's enough to solve the urgent need.

There is a great drought in the north of the Yangtze River, but it is raining in the south of the Yangtze River, which will not delay the summer grain.

When the summer grain comes down and the grain is abundant, it will be easier to buy grain.

It seems that everything is going smoothly.
