Chapter 520: Back to the Farmstead
Gongsun Hao then asked, "How is Camp Commander Sun resting?" β
Sun Cai said: "The conditions here are really good and comfortable. β
"That's good, that's good. We'll go downstairs for lunch now. β
So, the three of them took the elevator down to the first floor and had a full meal at the restaurant on the first floor.
The next day, Gongsun Hao took Sun Cai and Mo Qiufeng out of the city in Lao Duan's carriage and went to Dewang Farm.
Sun Cai felt the speed of the construction of Chang'an City and the degree of prosperity, last night he slept very late, in the guest room on the ninth floor, watching the night of Chang'an, the whole city is a city that never sleeps, noisy and prosperous, the ships coming and going on the sea day and night, a prosperous scene.
Because Gao Junshan gave Sun Cai a task before he came to Chang'an, asking him to write an investigation report on his trip home, Gao Junshan wanted to understand where the development process of the east coast had gone.
Therefore, Sun Cai was very attentive to observe the prosperity of Chang'an all the way, and he had to truthfully reflect to the emperor what he saw and heard, that is, taking a bath, taking the elevator, and making phone calls, he also recorded them in the report, including what Gongsun Hao ate when he received him last night, and he recorded them one by one.
The three of them chatted all the way in the carriage, and the carriages coming and going on the road made the suburb so noisy.
"What are these wagons pulling to and fro?" Sun Cai couldn't help but ask Gongsun Hao curiously.
Gongsun Hao said: "These are the carriages of farms all over Chang'an, some of these carriages are for business, and some are for going into the city to buy daily necessities. Your family has horse-drawn carriages coming into the city every day to pull goods and deliver goods, and your family is engaged in the tobacco business, and tobacco is mainly sold to the United Kingdom, so your horse-drawn carriages run the docks the most. β
Sun Cai thought to himself, since my family has a carriage into the city every day, why not take my family's carriage, and arrange a carriage from the city hall to take me home.
He was about to say something, but Gongsun Hao began to speak again: "Do you see that large tobacco field?" That is your family's tobacco, this land originally belonged to the rich man Sun's family, and now it all belongs to your Dewang Farm. β
Sun Rich Man?
Of course, Sun Cai knew that Sun Cai, thinking that in the years of famine in his hometown, his father took him to Sun Caizhu's house to borrow grain, and was released by this Sun Caizhu to bite people, and he still remembers the eyes of the vicious black dog.
What's the matter, now that the rich man has also become a tenant of my family?
Sun Cai didn't ask Gongsun Hao, since he was already able to see his own land, he should be able to get home soon.
Who knew that the carriage had been running for half an hour and hadn't heard Lao Duan say something like "it's time to get there", so he couldn't help but ask Gongsun Hao: "How far is it from my house now?" β
Gongsun Hao said: "It's almost fast, turn the fork over there and you'll arrive." β
Mo Qiufeng on the side interjected: "I've been to your house, and it will take forty minutes to walk from the fork in the road over there. β
Obediently, at such a distance, how much land does their Sun family have!
The carriage finally slowed down, and Lao Duan turned around and reminded: "It's time to enter the fork in the road, the road may be difficult, everyone is seated." β
The road surface of the fork road is a cinder road, and it is indeed not as easy to walk as the cement road on the main road, but it is not potholes, so the speed of running has not decreased, and the fields on both sides are planted with tobacco leaves, and there are many black people working in the fields.
"Are all the blacks working in the fields from our family?" Sun Cai asked.
Gongsun Hao replied, "How can other people's black slaves come to your house to work? Of course, those black slaves belong to your family. In our Chang'an, every family has hundreds of black slaves, which is a very common thing, and now there are not only black slaves, but also tens of millions of Indian slaves from the Indian Peninsula. β
"What is Innu?" Sun Cai asked again.
Gongsun Hao explained: "It is those Tu tribes in the Indian Peninsula, after the Mughal country was wiped out by us, we divided this country into several countries, do you know Songzhou?" It is that place, and all the Turks there are our Indian slaves. β
Gongsun Hao asked: "Our land is cultivated by black slaves and Indian slaves, what are we Chinese doing?" β
Gongsun Hao smiled: "We Chinese have a lot to do!" We have to manage those slaves, we have to learn to read, we have to do business, we have to drink tea, we have to drink coffee, we have to play cards, we have to watch big plays, in short, we have to do a lot of things, there is no idle time. β
Everyone was talking happily, only to hear the old voice: "Oh! Oh! Oh! Appealββ! β
The carriage stopped. He turned around and said, "When you get to the place, get out of the car!" β
Before he got out of the car, Sun Cai saw his family at the door of the farm, and his father Sun Sirun walked briskly to the carriage.
He got out of the carriage and saluted Sun Sirun: "Father, the child has been fighting outside the country, and he has not been able to fulfill his filial piety by his parents' side, and I ask my father for forgiveness!" β
This sentence was something he had been preparing in his head for a long time before he came up with it.
Sun Sirun burst into tears: "You defend the country and join the army, protect your family and defend the country, our whole family feels glorious for you, how can you talk about the word forgiveness!" β
At this time, his cousin Sun Caixi also came over, and he said: "Brother Cai, we have known your deeds from the radio and newspapers, you are winning glory for our Sun family!" β
Sun Caicai took Sun Caixi's hand and said: "Your brother has also heard a little, you led our entire family to run tobacco at home, and the whole family is prosperous, I am deeply ashamed that my brother can't help you!" β
Sun Caixi smiled and said: "Only when my brother can defend the country and fight can our Sun family prosper, how can you say that you didn't help anything!" β
At this time, Sun Dewang, the owner of Dewang Farm, came out: "Talent, talent, is it my talent back?" β
Sun Cai hurriedly stepped forward and took his grandfather's hand and said, "Grandpa, I'm back." β
"It's good to be back! It's good to be back! Sun Dewang left tears in his eyes excitedly, "I heard that the emperor granted you leave, isn't it?" β
Sun Cai said: "Yes, it was the emperor's personal approval, and the emperor also asked you hello!" β
Sun Dewang was even more excited: "The emperor also asked me hello, long live the emperor!" Long live the emperor! β
Gongsun Hao said: "Everyone come into the house and talk, the old man is old." β
Sun Caixi hurriedly said to Gongsun Hao: "Gongsun Assistant is so lazy, please Haihan!" β
Gongsun Hao said: "Touching, so touching!" This is the scene of relatives meeting! β
Sun Dewangdi Gongsun Hao said: "You are a person in the city, representing the emperor, how can we snub you, please come to our farm, we will entertain you with the most sumptuous delicacies." β
Sun Caixi took Mo Qiufeng's hand, it was not the first time they had met, Mo Qiufeng hadn't forgotten Monday, he asked, "Is Monday good?" β
