That night, Jia Min and his entourage camped in Fangning Town.

Fangning Town is a residential area established by Fang Xiucai, Feng Sanniang, Ning Er, Fenghua, Xueyue, Cong Xiucai, Guo Qisheng and Hua Yusheng.

Because Fang Xiucai, Ning Er and the others brought a lot of money when they came, they aimed to build a town from the beginning.

In terms of site selection, Fang Xiucai was very discerning and deliberately chose a river. The river is relatively gentle and abundant. Finally injected into Lake Figar.

So, a wharf was built here in Fangning Town. Small boats can sail directly to Lake Figar.

These people belong to the earliest team of Jia Min in the Yeduju era, so Jia Min felt very cordial when he arrived here. It seems to have gone back to the time when Nodoju was in the past.

If it weren't for the rush to go home to see the old lady and other family members, Jia Min really wanted to stay here for a while longer.

After several years of construction, the main road from Dade's Tongyuan Fort to Pingyuan City, and then from Pingyuan City to Nijiabao, has been repaired. Along the way, there are many pedestrians, cars and horses.

Sun Yuanfei came out this time mainly to inspect the road conditions and the construction of the new village along the way, and Jia Min also followed him to inspect along the way.

Every time you go to a new village, stop and check it out.

Walking on this path now is very different from a few years ago.

One is that there is a village or town every few days away. In the past, it was common to walk for a few days without seeing people.

If you want to stay, you have to bring your own yurt or tent, otherwise you have to stay in the open air.

Now it's different, and wherever you go to a village, you can have a place to stay. Some even have commercial inns.

Although the road is mostly plain, the soil is also thick black soil. This kind of soil is good land for growing crops. However, as a road, there is a drawback. It's just that the soil is relatively clayey.

When it rains or when spring is opened, it becomes muddy and difficult to walk.

The main project for the construction of this road is to dig up the roadbed, fill it with sand and stones, and then level it.

With such gravel roads, rainwater can quickly seep down or flow to the side of the road. At the time of spring enlightenment, I do not turn the pulp either. That way, there will be no delay in walking.

From time to time, you will encounter some caravans along the way. Some of these caravans came from Dade, and some came from Pingyuan City. And from Ross.

More often than not, there are vehicles transporting brick doors and windows. From this point alone, we can see how hot the construction is in various places.

From the time Fang Ning Town set off, there were two more couples in Jia Min's team.

One is Guo Qisheng and Qian Ping.

Qian Ping was the widow of Qian among the women recruited by Fang Xiucai and Ning Er from Zhili.

At the beginning, she was very good with Ning'er's lady, Miss Gu, but in desperation, she followed her to Beihai.

The other couple is Hua Yusheng and Xiaoju.

Xiaoju is Qian Ping's friend, and the two came together.

Their women, who were paid for by the Autonomous Society, were able to choose their husbands after arriving here, and they could repent of their marriages twice and own their own property.

Because Guo Qisheng had stayed in Zhili, he made the first move and got the money widow. Now the two have given birth to a son, and their lives are prosperous.

Hua Yusheng was touched by Qian Ping's relationship and caught the line of Xiaoju. In the end, the two also got married.

This time, the two couples went to Pingyuan City to purchase supplies for the town.

The large-scale introduction of brides, including the one with Xiucai, was only carried out twice. Later, because of the intensification of the investigation on the Dade side, it had to be temporarily stopped.

Although this method has been discontinued, the introduction of brides in other forms has been carried out all the time. There are also many women who have managed to get to Beihai by themselves.

However, generally speaking, the current Beihai is still in a state of more men and fewer women.

This is especially true of the sudden influx of more than 10,000 people.

This has also become a headache for Jia Min.

In desperation, Jia Min had to tell the Cervantes and Jia Qin, who are still in France, to buy slave girls and even prostitutes in Europe.

In short, as long as it is a woman, regardless of race or identity, as long as you can get it from Beihai, you can get it.

Anyway, these rooks, the bottom is not clean, everyone black pig is not black crow, no one laughs at anyone.

After arriving in Beihai, they are all ordinary people, all on the same starting line.

In fact, last winter, Lamei brought back more than 200 black slave girls. This is the loot they get from attacking a pirate ship on the way. After being brought to Beihai, it immediately became a sought-after commodity, and they were all married out in less than two days.

Finally arrived in Pingyuan City, Tamara told Jia Min that he wanted to go to Jiafu to see the ancestor, so he left.

Jia Min didn't stop her, so he went with her. As for what she said about going by herself, she didn't bother to care.

In fact, he also knows that even if he manages it himself, Tamara may not listen, and she always has her own logic and methods in doing things.

Just like the Bai Aya incident in Nijiabao this time, no matter how thoughtful you are, she may be able to make a moth for you somewhere.

Jia Min went directly to the arsenal with Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan.

He wanted to discuss the relocation of the arsenal with Jiao Li, Liu Cheng, and Dai Zhi.

Tamara has her own house in Pingyuan City, and after she went back, she took some things, took Katyusha and another maid, and went directly to Qiushuangzhai in Tanchun.

If you want to talk about this person, it's really hard to say who is fate with whom.

At the beginning, Tamara went to France with Baochai, Miaoyu, Daiyu, and Qingwen, but in addition to being more close to Daiyu, her relationship with Baochai, Miaoyu and Qingwen has always been tense.

She attributed it to her relationship with them. In fact, it's really for this reason.

After the girls from Jiafu came, Tamara was very close to Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun, and a few people plus Daiyu got together for a drink.

This time when it came to Qiushuangzhai, it happened that Shi Xiangyun was also there, so Tamara pulled the two of them and went to see the ancestor.

Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun actually knew Tamara's feelings for Jia Min, and they were willing to match this matter, so they happily came together.

When they arrived at the upper room of the old ancestor, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, You Shi, Li Kun and Wang Xifeng were all there, chatting and drinking tea together.

This scene is exactly the same as the previous situation in the imperial capital Rongguo Mansion.

In fact, within two days of arriving here, these people resumed their way of life in the imperial capital. The content of daily life has basically not changed compared to before.

The difference is just a different place.

When the old lady saw Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun leading a blonde girl in, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Before she could say anything, Tamara threw herself on her knees and kowtowed to the old lady three times.

Then there are Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue.

Although Jia Min and others had already introduced her to the ladies of Jiafu before, but, for a while, where could she tell so clearly?

Finally, she remembered the words "many people are not to blame", and even You Shi, Li Kun and Wang Xifeng kowtowed together.

"Meet the old ancestor, I don't know if the old ancestor has heard of me? If you haven't heard of it, it doesn't matter, I'm the troublesome Tamara, so that the ancestors can remember me. ”

This sentence made the old lady happy.

"You're Tamara? I've heard of it. But I haven't heard of you causing any trouble. ”

"That's because the ancestor has been here for a short time, and after a long time, the ancestor will know that I'm a person who is not reliable in doing things, and maybe I'll be a moth when I do."

"Oh, that's funny, I've never seen anyone say that about themselves. I see that you are a good girl, although she looks different from us, the Han dialect is good. Who always says you're a moth? ”

"It's Fourth Brother Min. However, after a long time, the ancestors will know who I am, in fact, I am similar to Tanchun and Yun'er, but I am a little stupid. ”

Hearing Tamara say this, Shi Xiangyun hurriedly pulled Tamara.

"Oh, I mean I'm stupid, they're not stupid, they're better than monkeys."

The old lady couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

"Ouch, this kid is funny, get up. Stand and talk. ”

Tamara was not good at kneeling, but when she heard the old lady say this, she stood up at once.

"Ancestor, some people used to say that our legs can't bend, we can't kneel, but it's not like that, you can also see it, my legs will also bend."

As she spoke, Tamara knelt again, and when she got up, she squatted a few more times to prove that her legs were bent.

This time, it made the old lady and the others laugh again.

"Alright, Tamara, don't try, we know, your legs will bend."

"Yo, no wonder people always say that the ancestor is the smartest person in the world, and he is really sharp-eyed, and he can see it at once."

"Who did you listen to?"

"There are a lot of people who say it, and the ancestors may not know it, but now the stories of the ancestors are being praised everywhere outside."

"Oh, what do they say about me?"

"It's a lot to say, the ancestor is affectionate and righteous, took in Brother Rong's daughter-in-law and Miaoyu, fought with the Jinyi army, dared to turn his face with Emperor Dade, and brought more than 10,000 people to ...... when he arrived in Beihai."

So, Tamara told the old lady about these deeds, adding fuel and vinegar.

Naturally, these words were taught to Tamara by Jia Min.

In the past few days, along the way, Tamara has been asking Jia Min how to please the old lady, so Jia Min told her that the first is not to blame many people, the second is to praise the old lady vigorously, and the third is to pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of the old lady. Fourth, don't speak ill of others.

With these points, basically the old lady will not have any objection to her.

Now Tamara's performance is according to this routine.

The things that the old lady did were actually the most proud of herself.

Seeing a woman of different races who had never met before knew it and praised it, I felt very comfortable. The impression of Tamara suddenly improved a little.

Of course, the old lady was an old man, and when she saw Tamara like this, she suspected that she had some purpose.

"Tamara, if there's anything going on today, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I'll call the shots for you. ”

"The old ancestor is so smart, I really have something to ask the old ancestor for."
