The next day, the end of the hour.

More than a dozen carriages drove out of Ning Guo's Mansion and stopped in front of Rongguo's Mansion for a moment.

Converged with the vehicles of Jia Mu, Lin Daiyu and others, walked out of Ningrong Street, and slowly drove out of the southern city.

Li Biao led two teams of personal soldiers to open the way in front.

Jia Cong rode on a horse, followed by Qingwen and the four guards of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, followed by nearly twenty carriages, and at the end were thirty personal soldiers following behind.

The convoy quickly left Shenjing City and drove onto the road to Linhe Villa.

A flat road stretched southward, and the speed of the convoy gradually increased.

Jia Mu felt the change in the speed of the car, but she didn't feel the bump, and lifted the curtain to look out.

I saw a road four or five meters wide, wide and flat, extending into the distance, and a white line was drawn in the middle.

This road is too well built, it is smoother than the one in the city, and this kid is really willing.

"Mandarin duck, this is the road that Brother Cong built? Is it so good to repair? What is the middle line for? ”

The mandarin duck sat next to Jia's mother, and said with a smile: "Old lady, this road was built by Grandpa Guo, I heard that it was built with a new material, and the road surface is particularly strong and durable, even if it rains heavily, the vehicle can also drive on it."

The white line in the middle divides the road into two halves, and the vehicles that come and go go half of each way, and they all drive on the right, so that the traffic can avoid congestion and congestion, and drive smoothly, we will now drive on the right, and the vehicles coming from the opposite side will go on the other side.

There are more workshops in Zhuangzi, and there are wineries in Zhuangzi, pulling wine out every day, pulling grain to Zhuangzi, there are a lot of vehicles coming and going, and it is more convenient to repair the road. ”

Jia's mother thought about it, it is indeed such a truth, it is indeed much better to go to and from the side of the vehicle, this child really has a lot of ideas.

"The road is really flat, and the car is running so fast, it doesn't get bumpy at all."

The mandarin duck smiled and said: "Old lady, this car is specially made by Grandpa Guo, it is his special car, and shock absorption is installed underneath to reduce bumps, and this car is very strong, and the bow and arrow can't shoot through."

There are also a lot of small organs in this car, carrying some food, use, and drink in case of emergency. ”

As he spoke, the mandarin duck opened a mechanism under the seat, took out some melons and fruits and melon seeds from it, and opened a mechanism next to Jia's mother to form a small table and put things on it.

"Old lady, the car will run for a while, you can eat some melon seeds if you are bored."

Jia Mu said: "I really can't see it, this car still has so many functions, and Brother Cong doesn't sit in the car much, why do you spend so much effort to get these things?" ”

Mandarin duck said: "Old lady, when Grandpa Guo goes out, he takes the car with him, and sometimes he sleeps outside and sleeps directly in the car, and when he encounters danger, he can also use the car to block it." ”

Mother Jia also admired this grandson a little, and she thought about it too thoughtfully.

No wonder he can't do anything, he can't do anything, just with this meticulous mind, it is not comparable to ordinary people, if he doesn't succeed, who can succeed?

Jia Mu and Mandarin Duck chatted without saying a word, occasionally opening the curtain to look at the scenery outside.

In a car behind, there were six sisters, Daiyu, Baochai, Xiangyun, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun, and several people chatting there.

Shi Xiangyun looked outside the car and asked, "Is the road outside so easy to walk now?" It's really fast and smooth. ”

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "How is it possible, when we came to the capital, the road was difficult to walk and died, it was still an official road, and it was a crime to take a car for a long time, and the road here should have been built by Brother Cong himself." ”

Xichun said: "Sister Bao guessed right, this road was built by my brother, and it was repaired three years ago." ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "The third brother is really amazing, this road is wide and smooth, it's the first time I've seen such a road." ”

Lin Daiyu looked out and said: "This road surface is indeed different from other roads, it should be that the materials used to build the road are different, and you will know when you come down to Zhuangzi to take a look." ”

A few people came out to play for the first time, and they were very excited, and they didn't stop chattering along the way.

Soon came to Zhuangzi, and Liu Quan led people to greet him.

"I'll wait to see Grandpa Guo."

Jia Cong said: "Get up, go in first and talk about it." ”

Qingwen commanded the vehicle and drove directly into the yard, and everyone got out of the car and helped Jia's mother to the backyard.

Mandarin Duck arranged Jia's mother to the main room, and arranged rooms for the others, so that everyone could stay and rest for a while.

After all, after nearly half an hour in the car, it is still very hard for these women who usually don't go out of the door and don't step out of the second door.

This time there were a bit of a lot of people, and the middle and backyard were occupied.

Mother Jia, Aunt Xue, Li Kun, Baochai, Daiyu and others all lived in the backyard, and the people on the side of Ning Guofu all lived in the middle courtyard, including Jia Cong himself.

Jia Cong looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see Baoyu, so he called the mandarin duck over and asked.

"Mandarin duck, didn't the old lady say to bring Baoyu with you? How did you leave Baoyu behind? ”

The mandarin duck smiled: "I was going to come together, but when I was about to go out, I was stopped by the second wife, saying that Baoyu's ass was not good yet, and sometimes it hurt, and he couldn't do the car, so he pulled him back, and the old lady didn't say anything." ”

Baoyu has been beaten for almost a month, and it is said that the skin trauma should have healed a long time ago, which is really pampered.

If you don't come, don't come, and save yourself a lot of trouble.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Baoyu's buttocks, is it more delicate than the big girl's buttocks?" It's been so long? ”

Mandarin duck said: "Who knows, the second wife said yes, that's someone's son." Let's rest for a while, and then we won't go out in the morning, and after lunch, let's take them out to have a look. ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Well, you can arrange the things here, I'll go to the front to meet those stewards first." ”

When they came to the study in the front yard, Liu Quan and the others had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Jia Cong coming in, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Grandpa Guo." ”

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, let's all sit down, I haven't seen you for more than three years, everyone is okay?" ”

"Thanks to the blessing of Grandpa Guo, we are all fine, I can't imagine that Grandpa Guo went out for three years and came back with a Guogong, it's really amazing, and those of us who follow Grandpa Guo are also honored."

These guys are pretty good at sycophancy.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's just lucky, let's briefly introduce their respective situations today, and we'll talk about the specific things later, I'll entertain the old lady first." ”

Liu Quandao: "Grandpa Guo, the Zhuangzi on both sides have begun the autumn harvest, the other workshops are also operating normally, and the construction of the villa is becoming more and more complete, and in general it is getting better and better." ”

The other stewards also reported one by one, so that Jia Cong had a general understanding.

After three years of continuous testing, the glass has become more and more transparent, although it does not meet the standards of later generations, it is already a qualified product and can be introduced to the market.

The cement has also been researched and stored, in addition to building roads and brick walls, Jia Cong has not thought of how to use it.

It's better to keep this thing in your hand for the time being, and it's not too late to take it out when it is critical.

The distillery has been expanded again, and the production scale has been doubled, and a batch of wine is stored every year and sealed in the cellar.

Jia Cong's earliest batch of wine has been sealed for five years now, except for the 10,000 jars given to the emperor, which was used at home, and the remaining 10,000 jars have not been touched.

In addition to drinking some at home, continue to seal it, if you store it for more than ten years, the taste will be different.

In addition, a kind of six-fruit wine has also been developed, which has a good taste and low alcohol content, which is suitable for women and children.

It is that the quantity of fresh fruit is insufficient, and the seasonality is relatively strong, so it cannot be produced in large quantities.

In two years, only more than 10,000 jars were produced, and they were not listed, and they were also sealed in the wine cellar, waiting for Jia Cong to come back and make a decision.

Jia Cong asked people to bring a jar and taste it, sweet and sour, very delicious, similar to a drink, this thing is just for these women to taste, it should be very in line with their taste.

Jia Cong asked people to pull 100 jars of Liuguo wine, and 10 jars of 5-year Linhe tribute wine, sent them to the yard, and let people move them into the backyard.

Everyone knew that Jia Cong was going to entertain these female rolls, and after a brief report, they said goodbye and left.

After Jia Cong sent them away, he returned to the back house.

At this time, the meals were ready, and with Jia's mother's consent, the maids brought in the dishes and placed them on the table.

With Jia's mother here, these maids can't sit, they have to stand next to them and serve.

Jia Cong asked Ping'er and Mandarin Duck to sit down together and accompany Jia's mother.

Jia Mu saw that the food on the table was more sumptuous than at home, and nodded with satisfaction.

Jia Cong said: "Old lady, I won't let you drink at noon, let's go out for a walk after dinner, and drink some more in the evening, my wine has already been moved in." ”

Jia Mu smiled: "We don't drink ordinary wine, get us some good wine from your wine shop to taste." ”

Jia Cong said: "Old lady, don't worry, the wine for you is definitely the best, I still have a part of the tribute wine that has been stored for five years, and I have just moved ten jars over."

I also brought a hundred jars of Liuguo wine, which is a new wine, I just tasted it, and this wine tastes very good, and it is very suitable for you to drink. ”

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "One hundred altars, Brother Cong, do you want to pour us all down?" ”

Jia Cong smiled: "I can't drink it today, but I will continue to drink it tomorrow." ”

After eating, I took a short rest and came to the square outside.

I saw a large area of fertile land in the east, and there was no end in sight, and there were farmers harvesting soybeans in it, and a large number of houses in the south, where the people on the village lived.

To the west is a mountain, below is a barracks, and further south are various workshops that form a complex of buildings.

Jia Mu said: "This place is really not small, this is only half of it, and the same is true on the other side of the mountain?" ”

Jia Cong said: "It's almost, it's not smaller than here, today we will watch the farmers work for a while, and then go to the workshop to see, and tomorrow we will go to the south of the greenhouse to see, take you to the river to row, and the day after tomorrow take you to the mountains to see." ”

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Then we will listen to your arrangement, why are there so many sliding rods next to you?" Do you still want to carry us there? ”

The mandarin duck smiled and said: "Old lady, Grandpa Guo is afraid that you will be tired of walking, so he prepared a sliding rod, if any of you are tired, sit on the sliding rod and let them carry it, these women have been practicing for many days, and there will be no problems." ”

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Brother Cong'er is really thoughtful in his preparation, and he is really attentive to the old lady, and the old lady is really blessed to have such a good child." ”

When the mother heard this, she was happy, the child was well prepared, and she was afraid that she would not be able to walk the road, so she carried herself away.

"Brother Cong, this child, has always been filial and does things safely, and others really can't compare."

Everyone was talking, and came to the edge of the field, the villagers in the village were wielding sickles to harvest soybeans, and Jia Cong went to get some and let these little girls look at it.

Xichun said: "Brother, is this soybean?" It's the first time I've seen it. ”

Jia Cong said: "Well, this is soybeans, which can be used to squeeze oil, can also be used to make tofu, soy milk, tofu brain, soybean paste, soy sauce, like this green boiled and eaten, it is also very fragrant, I will let people put spices and cook a big pot, you can taste it at night." ”

Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, your big piece is full of big soybeans, what are you doing with so much?" Sell it outright? ”

Jia Cong said: "Our family's grain is basically not sold, there is an oil mill over there, using these soybeans to squeeze soybean oil, and the remaining soybean cakes can be used to feed pigs, and there is a pig farm in the easternmost place, which raises more than 1,000 pigs." ”

"Ah, so many pigs?"

Shi Xiangyun said in surprise: "Third brother, can you raise so many pigs to eat?" ”

Tanchun said: "I definitely can't eat it, but if I can't eat it, can I sell it, right, third brother." ”

"Well, if you can't eat it, you can sell it, but there are a lot of people on my side, and this time I brought back two hundred soldiers, and it's good that these pigs are enough to eat."

Xue Baochai said: "Brother Cong, it shouldn't be much profitable to raise pigs, right?" With your net worth, do you still care about this little profit? ”

Jia Cong said: "These are all the income of the villagers, with these income, it is enough to improve their lives, plus the pig manure can be used as fertilizer to increase the production of grain, it can be regarded as a lot of money." ”

Mother Jia, Aunt Xue and others also nodded again and again when they heard this, this child has a lot of thoughts.

After playing here for a while, I went to the workshop and walked around the workshop.

Seeing the transparent glass in the glass workshop, even Mother Jia and Aunt Xue were surprised.

"Oh my God, Brother Cong, you also made these glasses? Why is it so big? So much, huh? How much does it cost? ”

Jia Cong said: "Old lady, aunt, this is glass, with this kind of glass, our doors and windows can be inlaid with glass, so that the house becomes brighter, this thing is impermeable, it is warmer in winter, and the house is warmer." ”

"That's how this glass is used? It's a long experience. ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Old lady, if you are willing, I will have people replace your doors and windows with glass in a few days, and if your aunt is willing, I will also change them for you." ”
