In late March, He Cheng and Wangcai returned with a caravan.

Forty cartloads of goods were pulled, all tea, silk and ceramics.

A day later, the convoy drove out of Linhe Villa, but it became more than 60 vehicles, and it headed north.

On this trip, Jia Cong brought Qingwen, Chunlan, Xia Zhu, Qiu Ju, and Dongmei, as well as Han Nianci and her six subordinates.

In addition, he also brought 100 personal guards and more than 30 special combat personnel with him, making a total of more than 200 people.

In addition to the goods they purchased, Jia Cong also brought 10,000 pieces of soap and a batch of Linhe tribute wine, and loaded twenty carts.

He also brought 200 sets of stainless steel armor and prepared to form 200 personal guards at that time.

In addition, he also used a carriage alone to pull forty boxes of grenades, a total of 2,000, these things are Jia Cong's confidence.

With these grenades, Jia Cong is sure to win a big to medium victory.

However, Jia Cong didn't want people to know about the existence of grenades for the time being, and these things were just for life-saving.

It will never be used in front of outsiders unless it is absolutely necessary.

At the tail of the convoy were two slightly larger carriages, which were specially made by Jia Cong for carpenters.

The carriages are all made of thickened hardwood, and they cannot be shot through with bows and arrows, which is an ancient version of an armored car.

Under the carriage, in the front and rear positions, two hard crossbows were installed in case of emergency.

In one of the carriages, Han Nianci and six of her subordinates accompanied them as medical staff.

The six of them have also trained with Han Nianci for a period of time, and they will not drag down the team at all.

The other carriage was prepared by Jia Cong for himself.

After all, the road is too far, and it is tiring to ride on a horse every day, so go to the car to rest for a while.

You can also let Qingwen and the four of spring, summer, autumn and winter take turns to take a break.

If you are sleeping in the wilderness, you can also sleep in the carriage.

In short, this time Jia Cong was quite well prepared and was ready to do a big job in Liaodong.

With the waist card of the embroidered clothes and guards, the road is unimpeded, and those local checkpoints don't even dare to put a fart, so they directly switch and release.

It took only five days for the group to leave Shanhaiguan and enter the Suizhong area.

Then pass through Ningyuan, Jinzhou, enter Beizhen, and then go further to his first stop, Heishan Village.

After a night's rest on the way, at noon the next day, we arrived at the village of Black Mountain.

Montenegro Village is backed by Montenegro, with more than 300 households in the village, almost about 1,500 people, and 13,000 acres of land, which is the largest grange in the vicinity.

The eight or nine granges surrounding the vicinity are all the properties of Ning Guofu, and there are seven or eight thousand tenants alone.

Wu Jinxiao lives in this black mountain village, managing the eight or nine granges around him.

The grange in Rongguofu is also not far from here, there are seven or eight Zhuangzi, but the farmland is much more than that of Ningguofu.

It's Wu Jinxiao's cousins who are in charge here, and the two brothers are in charge of the Zhuangzi of the two mansions respectively, so it's really convenient to cover each other.

Wu Jinxiao looked at the young man on the horse, and the convoy that slowly entered Black Mountain Village, and greeted him with a smile.

"The little Wu Jinxiao visited the third master, but he didn't know that the third master suddenly arrived, and he didn't come far to greet the third master and ask the third master for forgiveness."

At this time, Wu Jinxiao's heart was annoyed, he never thought that his own master would come to Liaodong so soon and catch him off guard.

Jia Cong sat on the horse and looked at Wu Jinxiao with a smile on his face, but this time he didn't kneel for himself.

Although I don't like others to kneel for me, this old guy's attitude has changed too much before and after.

It is said that it is a request for sin, but how can it look like a request for sin, is it clearly perfunctory?

Could it be that you have confidence in your own land?

Leave him alone for now, and let the special combat team members check the bottom of this old guy later, and then make a decision.

Jia Cong smiled slightly, "Wuzhuangtou doesn't have to be like this, as the so-called ignorant is not guilty, I came suddenly this time, causing trouble to Wuzhuangtou." ”

Wu Jinxiao saw that Jia Cong had a good attitude, and he was somewhat relieved, as long as he didn't come to trouble him.

"The third master laughed, you are the master, you will come whenever you come, please come inside."

Jia Cong laughed, turned over and jumped off the horse, and walked into the big courtyard in front of him with his legs raised.

This courtyard is not small, it is the largest courtyard in this village, and it is also the residence of Wu Jinxiao's family.

Jia Cong followed Wu Jinxiao and sat down in the hall.

Qingwen and Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter stood on their side, Zhang Hu and Li Biao, one stood in front of the hall door, and another team of guards stood at the gate of the courtyard.

Wu Jin Xiaodao: "The third master came to Liaodong this time, is there anything to do?" If there is a place to get the villain, please do not dare to say anything else, the small one is still more familiar in Liaodong. ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Wuzhuangtou is serious, I came here this time mainly to do business, by the way, I traveled in Liaodong, and also to see if our Zhuangzi can increase production."

After all, there is too much land here, and if we can increase production, everyone will benefit. ”

Wu Jinxiao sighed in his heart when he heard this, the result he didn't want to see was still coming, and it was a little troublesome now.

As soon as his eyes rolled to his heart, young people love to play, as long as someone plays with him every day, he should be negligent here, and he seems to be going to use his brains.

"Third master, the information you gave me, I have already distributed it first, and it will be implemented this year, and if you want to see the results at least a year, if you have something to do, just go and be busy, and when the results are out, the small one will inform the third master."

Jia Cong glanced at Wu Jinxiao and smiled: "It's okay, so it's troublesome for Wu Zhuangtou, you need more snacks in this matter, take me to Zhuangzi everywhere later." ”

Wu Jin filial piety said: "Third master, this Zhuangzi is on the soil, it's dirty, it's very dirty, what's there to see, don't go, it's better to wait for you to rest, I'll let you take you to hunt on the Black Mountain, for recreation."

There are a lot of forests on this Black Mountain, there are countless prey on the mountain, almost everything, when we are slack here, everyone will go to the Black Mountain to hunt, I don't know if the third master is interested? ”

It's good to go hunting and have fun, and you can also practice archery by the way and get used to the environment in the forest.

"Okay, I'm also interested in hunting, then listen to Wuzhuangtou, you are the head snake here, find us a few good guides when the time comes."

Wu Jinxiao saw that Jia Cong agreed, and immediately put his mind at ease, so that he could take him out hunting every day, as long as he was addicted to playing, he would ignore the things in Zhuangzi.

As long as the autumn harvest season is delayed, you can report the output casually, and it is estimated that it will be passed.

Ay! It's really unfortunate to let yourself be such a master.

It's been decades and nearly a hundred years, and I haven't heard of the masters of the Jia family's two mansions, and I have personally come to Liaodong Farm to inspect it.

This little master, I don't know what's going on?

Although when I went back this time, I inquired in many ways, but I didn't get a lot of news.

I just know that this young master is not like other gentlemen, who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, but is keen on business and has made a lot of ways to make money.

Although he looks kind on the surface, he is actually a ruthless master.

The ancestors of his Wu family have been in charge of the Liaodong Grange for the Jia family, if you really want to find out, where will it be so clean, I hope you can pass the test smoothly this time.

At that moment, he said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, the little one will be arranged for you properly, so that you can have fun." ”

Next, Wu Jinxiao took the whole family and moved to the small courtyard next to it, leaving this large courtyard to Jia Cong and his party to live temporarily.

Jia Cong was not polite, and asked Qingwen and Han Nianci to lead someone to clean up the backyard and move in directly.

Forty more guards were arranged to live in the front yard.

Some of the rest stayed in the square to guard the convoy, and some were arranged to spend the night in the village.

That night, Wujin Xiao set up a banquet to entertain Jia Cong and his party.

The banquet is very attentive, all kinds of mountain delicacies, everything, worthy of being close to the mountain.

The scene is also relatively harmonious, and it can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts.

The next day, Wu Jinxiao led three hunters to find Jia Cong.

"Third master, these three people are the most famous hunters in the village, and they are all famous in the neighborhood, let them take the third master into the mountains to hunt, and then let my youngest son follow you, accompany and serve, if there is anything he can do."

Jia Cong nodded, and looked at the three hunters, two in their thirties, and one in their twenties, all of whom were a little thin, but they were very strong, and they belonged to the kind of agile type.

"I'm not familiar with the terrain here, so I have to rely on the three to lead the way, if I have a harvest, I won't treat you badly."

The three of them hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the third master, with the three of us here, the third master will definitely gain a lot." ”

Jia Congmeng waved his hand and said, "Then let's go." ”

Come outside and join the people, and go to Montenegro.

Since it is a hunting in the mountains, there is no need to ride a horse.

Three hunters led the way, and Jia Cong, carrying a black knife at his waist and a pair of bows and arrows on his back, followed behind.

Qingwen and Chun Xiaqiu Dong also carried knives and arrows on their backs and followed Jia Cong.

Behind is Zhang Hu and Li Biao, and a team of special combat members, two teams of personal guards, and Wu Jinxiao's youngest son Xiaosi, a group of about 40 people.

Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and everyone walked more than ten miles before entering the Black Mountain range.

Jia Cong walked with the three hunters, observing the surrounding terrain, and asked, "Three, what kind of prey are there near this Black Mountain?" Are there any large, ferocious prey? ”

"Back to the third master, we still have a lot of prey here in Montenegro, there are pheasants, hares, wild boars, foxes, badgers, wolves, etc., and there are also a few old forests in Montenegro, which are more dangerous, and few people go in.

In this Liaodong wild boar, there are a lot of wolves, and what is more terrible is the wolves, they come out to hunt at night, which is very dangerous, and the people here are generally not willing to walk at night, and try not to go out at night. ”

In this ancient period, in the villages of the Central Plains, there were wild wolves, not to mention the sparsely populated Liaodong area full of deep mountains and old forests?

If you dare to walk alone at night, you will probably be eaten by wolves.

"The three of them are hunters, they should be hunting all year round, and they must have a lot of experience in hunting, can you introduce some hunting experience to us? Wait for us to hunt more prey. ”

One of the three hunters is surnamed Zhang, one is surnamed Liu, and the younger one is surnamed Li, and all three of them have been hunters for generations.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water.

These hunters depend on this mountain to survive, wandering in the mountains and forests all year round, hunting prey in exchange for the necessities of life.

Zhang Orion said: "This is not a secret, after fighting too much, I will naturally understand, the third master wants to hear it, I will talk about some of my experience in hunting, and let the third master make some references."

Hunting must know how to recognize the road, the wolf has a wolf road, the snake has a snake track, the wolf walks the ridge, the fox walks the mountainside, and the badger walks to the bottom of the ditch.

What to fight to have what to play, secretly hit the fox to fight the wolf, fight the wolf to say hello, and wait for the moment it stops and looks back, you shoot an arrow over to ensure the hit.

When the snake crawls over, the sharp tip of the knife slightly exposed to the ground can open the snake's abdomen to the tail, ······"

While talking to a few hunters, he walked around a bluestone cliff.

After a few steps, two pheasants flew out of the roadside and flew into the distance.

Everyone else had a tacit understanding and didn't make a move, leaving the opportunity to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong was not polite, opened his bow and arrows, aimed at the pheasant that was going away, and heard a "whoosh" sound, a sharp arrow shot out quickly, quickly caught up with the pheasant, and an arrow pierced its neck.

Jia Cong shot the first arrow, did not stop, quickly took out the second arrow, aimed at the other pheasant that was gradually moving away, and shot out again with an arrow, shooting the pheasant down.

Zhang Hu ran over, picked up the two pheasants, looked at the wounds, and shouted, "Third master, both arrows hit the pheasant's neck." ”

Several hunters glanced at each other, a little surprised, I didn't expect this third master's archery skills to be so good, it is really unseemly.

"The third master's archery skills are outstanding, he has 100 shots and 100 hits, and the small ones are admired."

Jia Cong laughed and said: "It's ugly, you don't have to let me, you can shoot and hunt freely, whoever shoots the most valuable prey today, the lord will reward him with ten taels of silver." ”

Liu Orion asked: "Is what the third master said true, and the three of us also count?" ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Of course, you also count, it depends on everyone's luck today, and see who can come out on top today." ”

"Thank you, Third Master, you're welcome to the little one."

After Liu Orion finished speaking, he ran to the forest on the side with a bow and arrow.

Chen Orion saw that Liu Orion was gone, hesitated, arched his hand at Jia Cong, and chose a direction to leave.

Only the young Li Orion was left, looked at the direction in which the two left, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not choose to leave, but stayed.

Seeing this, Jia Cong asked, "Why don't you go?" Your skills should not be much worse than theirs, and besides, the quality of your prey depends on luck, and if you go, you may come out on top. ”

Li Orion said: "The three of us are the guides who came to lead the way for the third master, both of them are gone, if I go again, who will lead the way for the third master?" Although I really want the ten taels of silver, I can't forget my duty. ”
