100. Guide
Renault's face was slightly gloomy: "Captain Allah, this is Brother Liu Fu, the head of our Yanjing family, the owner of the Yihong Tavern, why don't you hurry up and salute?!!"
Don't look at Renault's young age, once he initiates Weilai, he really has a bit of momentum.
Allah's face changed, he looked Jiajing up and down, and asked in an uncertain tone, "You are the Viscount?"
Jiajing snorted and laughed: "Isn't it like that?"
Allah still resolutely stood in front of the giant armored beast, and replied in a deep voice: "We are instructed by Lady Yanmei not to let people go up the mountain casually, and the Viscount should be an exception, but Lady Yanmei said that the Viscount has a rune of the head of the family to read, I wonder if we can take a look?"
Jiajing was pleased with the dedication of Allah, but his runes were not worn on his chest, and he put them away when he entered Star Picking City.
Of course, the rune carving engraved on the giant armored beast car could not be considered real, so Jiajing took out the rune made by Yan Mei herself from the storage ring and threw it to Allah: "That's what you said!
Allah took the rune and looked at it, only to see that the front of the pale golden rune was carved with a solemn pattern of beast claws and swords, and the lower part was engraved with a pattern of Yan Jing and a small wisteria flower, and behind it were two big characters of the head of the family.
The others did not have the word "head of the family" and the wisteria flower symbol that the lord gave the title of viscount on behalf of the lord, and immediately put away the steel gun, respectfully handed the runes back to Jiajing with both hands, and apologized: "The subordinates have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and they are offended, so please surrender your lordship!"
Jiajing took the rune, pinned it to his chest, got off the giant armored beast cart, helped Allah who was kneeling, and said with a calm smile: "Captain Allah's crime, you are conscientious in your actions, and you should be rewarded!"
The rest of the soldiers were relieved to see that Jiajing did not blame Allah at all, Captain Allah is usually very good to them, although they are strict in training, so everyone does not want to see the captain punished, and it is nothing to let them be punished.
Because of this, they have a good impression of Jiajing, the owner they met for the first time. After all, those of them who are private soldiers, who don't want to find a good master.
Yan Mei is also very good to these soldiers, much better than other nobles, at the beginning, they even hoped that Jiajing would never come back, because they were afraid that Jiajing would be a heinous devil, but now it seems that it is not a bad thing for Lord Viscount to come back.
Jiajing didn't let them go over to inform Yan Mei immediately, he decided to give Yan Mei a big surprise, so he asked Renault for a token to go up the mountain, put aside Lao Ke and them, and went up the mountain quickly alone.
The mountain roads have been rearranged, and checkpoints have been set up in dangerous places, and four soldiers have been assigned to guard them, including many Kasia warriors.
Jiajing took the pass token, so naturally he would not suffer any more difficulties, so he soon went up the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain where he had fought with Vilia last time, Jiajing found that this place was completely different from before.
At the entrance, a huge stone wall stands at the entrance, blocking the way to the mountain road, leaving only a three-meter-wide and four-meter-high city gate.
Although the walls are only four meters high, they are more difficult to overcome than ordinary walls tens of meters high.
After being checked for the token, Jiajing entered the gentle mountainous area, and the scenery that caught his eyes surprised him again.
Somehow, next to the large pool, a vast piece of fertile land appeared, which was full of grain.
Although the sprouts had just emerged, Jiajing knew that it would not be long before the grain could be harvested.
The pond is home to a large number of fish and water beasts.
Looking into the distance, Jiajing found that there was actually a breeding farm that had not been completely completed, and there were many edible barcoon beasts and boar beasts in it.
It seems that Yanmei is going to transform Badaling into a self-sufficient and strong fortress.
In addition to these scenes that surprised Jiajing, the soldiers training in the distance also surprised Jiajing, many strange-shaped Kasia warriors mixed with human warriors, running around the mountainside, Jiajing saw that Kata, Rick and others were actually in the team.
Before leaving, he handed over the Southern Fist to them to practice, and he didn't expect that after only half a year's effort, he already had such a miraculous effect, and he could train with the soldiers.
Looking at the rows of large and small stone temples, as well as the sturdy houses made of trees, Jiajing also knew which one was Yanmei's, and when she saw the soldiers slowly approaching, she couldn't help but beckoned to Nini's little girl and shouted, "Nini, come here!"
When Nini heard the familiar voice, she couldn't help but turn her head to look, and saw Jiajing, whose image had changed a lot and her hair had grown longer, and her apricot eyes suddenly widened in shock, and the joy in her heart couldn't hide it, and she couldn't help but shout: "Brother Liu Fu is back! Kata, look, Brother Liu Fu is back!"
She shouted as she left the group and rushed towards Jiajing happily.
Kata and Rick were of course extremely excited to see Jiajing returning, and left the team one after another.
They train with the soldiers, but they are not part of the soldiers, and the team leader turns a blind eye to them, and the requirements are not very strict, and now when they see them leave, they just shake their heads and do not say anything.
If it was an ordinary soldier, he would have whipped it long ago.
Jiajing saw that they all ran over, except for Renault and Little Xius, all the nine orphans who followed Yanmei were here. Seeing their tanned skin, but their bodies were much stronger, Jiajing felt a little sad inexplicably, stroked Nini's hair, and asked gently, "Nini, why did you train with them?"
Nini's face was a little red, her hair was stuck together with sweat, and she panted slightly: "We have to become as powerful as Brother Liu Fu, and protect Sister Yanmei and Brother Liu Fu in the future." ”
Kata excitedly took Jiajing's hand: "Brother Liu Fu, I'm so powerful now, I can lift a hundred catties of stones!"
Jiajing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, lifting a hundred pounds of stone? It's not difficult for an adult, but Kata is only eleven years old, how can he be so powerful?
Even if he has been practicing Nanquan since he was a child, he definitely doesn't have that much strength at this age, could it be that Kata's talent is higher than his own? Or are the people here particularly suitable for cultivating Nanquan?
Seeing Jiajing's disbelieving expression, Kata pursed his lips and said, "Brother Liu Fu, I didn't lie to you, if I don't believe it, I'll show it to you now!"
Rick took over: "Brother Liu Fu, Kata is not lying, he has the most strength here, but I can lift eighty pounds of stones, and I will be able to catch up with him soon!"
Jiajing hurriedly stopped Kata, who was about to prove it to himself: "Hahaha, no need, Brother Liu Fu believes that Kata won't lie, by the way, where is Sister Yanmei?"
Kata said with a smile: "I know that Brother Liu Fu must miss Sister Yanmei very much, Sister Yanmei is not here." ”
Jiajing was stunned for a moment: "What? Renault said she was in Badaling! Where did she go?"
Kata pointed to the top of Badaling: "No, our winery is built on it, except for the workers inside and a few of us, you can't enter without a token, Sister Yanmei is working there." ”
Jiajing looked in the direction of Kata's finger, and sure enough, he found that there were still some hidden buildings on the top of Badaling, which were difficult to find without paying attention.
The topography of this Badaling is peculiar, like an inverted bread, starting from the halfway up the mountain, it is slightly gentle, but there are still several gradients, the mountainside platform is more than 100 meters up, and the terrain is slightly slowed down, Yanmei sorted out the top of the place, and built a winery, although the production capacity is not as large as the scale of the previous star, but there is no danger of outsiders sneaking in, just wait for it to stabilize, and the production capacity will slowly increase.
The road defense to the mountaintop distillery is even tighter, Yan Mei is afraid that Kata and they are too young to keep the token that goes up, which will cause danger, so the token is only available to her and Maidil, who has worked hard for Yihong, even if Kata proves Jiajing's identity, the two giants who are more than two meters tall guarding the road up the mountain are stunned and do not let Jiajing go up, saying that unless Yan Mei personally proves the identity of his family master to Jiajing.
Jiajing didn't know whether to cry or laugh, these two strong men were too pedantic.
Of course, there was no problem with his strength to force himself up, but Jiajing still chose to wait and let Kata go up and call Yanmei down.
Not long after, Yan Mei followed Kata and walked out of the bend in the col.
She walked slowly, but her face was a little rosy, and beads of sweat were oozing from the tip of her small nose.
When she saw Jiajing, she looked overjoyed, but she quickly calmed down, gently pulled her skirt, brushed the purple hair hanging down in front of her forehead, and then slowly walked towards Jiajing.
Jiajing watched Yanmei come over, and when she saw this familiar and somewhat unfamiliar beautiful face, she didn't know what to say.
Before the meeting, Jiajing had thought about it a lot, but when it really came to this moment, it was as if everything had been forgotten, and his mind became blank.
Yan Mei walked up to Jiajing like this, patted his clothes gently, and then helped him tidy up his collar, and said gently: "Jiajing, you are back." ”
Jiajing nodded subconsciously: "Well, I'm back." ”
Yan Mei suddenly smiled: "It's good to come back." Jiajing, you don't blame me for moving the winery here, do you?"
Jiajing stroked Yan Mei's thin cheeks: "Blame, why not blame? The tavern can be done casually, why bother so hard, you have lost weight." ”
Yan Mei ignored everyone's gaze, meekly snuggled up to Jiajing's chest, felt the beating of Jiajing's heart, and only said: "Jiajing, come, I'll take you everywhere to see, this will be our new home in the future." ”
Although Yihong had just moved to Badaling, she spent a lot of money to hire thousands of workers, and soon built the first phase of Badaling, built many houses, and picked up tens of thousands of cubic meters of fertile soil from the bottom of the mountain to grow food on Badaling.
As she walked, Yan Mei introduced to Jiajing: "This is a botanical garden, and we have specially purchased more than a dozen earthworm beasts to improve the soil quality, in case the soil becomes hard and cannot be planted." She pointed to a breeding farm in the distance: "That's a newly built breeding farm, which can raise about 500 barcoon beasts and boar beasts, plus the food from the botanical garden, it is enough for us to eat for half a year, and we have also bought a lot of grain to store, even if we don't go down the mountain for two years, there is no problem." ”
Jiajing saw the pool that was not very large, and asked suspiciously, "Is there enough water on the mountain?"
Yan Mei also couldn't believe it: "Jiajing, it turns out that the water in this pool is not all rainwater, our mining workers dug out two springs, most of the water in this pool is seeping out of the springs, it is strange to say, there is a spring on the mountain, it is really unbelievable, and the water of this spring is still very abundant, and it has never dried up, so I decided to move Yihong Winery here, first, to weaken the control of Cafirot, and secondly, to facilitate the concealment of our trade secrets." ”
Jiajing couldn't imagine that there was such a strange phenomenon in the world, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Yan Mei continued: "It took almost 200,000 gold to build Badaling, but it is worth it, now there are nearly 1,000 people living on Badaling, which is not easy to manage, but fortunately there is Maidil to help." ”
Jiajing asked strangely: "How can there be so many people, and the winery doesn't need so many people, right?"
Yan Mei wrenched her fingers: "There are 300 soldiers, more than 200 wineries, and 300 miners, plus those who manage grain planting and raising livestock, it's about the same." ”
"Didn't you say that there are no mines in Badaling? Why do you use so many people to mine?"
Yan Mei grinned: "Originally, there were only dozens of people mining, but later when I wanted to build a house winery, I invited more people to dig stones as building materials. Jiajing, do you want to take a look, the mine hole dug by those workers is so big, and the mountain in Badaling is strong, we are not afraid of the danger of collapse, those workers are still digging caves one by one, usually live in it, more comfortable than a house, I live in the cave now. ”
The more Yan Mei talked, the more excited she became, and took Jiajing around Badaling to introduce Jiajing to the botanical garden, breeding ground, mine cave, soldier training ground, ore refining area, workers' entertainment area, winery, etc., Jiajing was dazzled, and he couldn't imagine that it had only been a few months, and Yan Mei had made so many things out of it, which was really unimaginable.
