The next day, early in the morning.

In the misty lake, I feel itchy on my face.

When Jia Cong opened his eyes, he saw Lin Daiyu pinching a strand of hair and looking at him with a wicked smile.

Seeing Jia Cong wake up, Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Big lazy worm, it's time to get up and exercise."

Jia Cong rubbed his eyes, and saw that Zijuan next to him was gone, and he should have gotten up.

Yesterday, I rushed to the scene continuously, and finally stayed in Daiyu's room, and tossed with the master and servant for half a night, which was really a little tired.

looked at the little wife with a wicked smile on her face, hugged her and kissed her fiercely.

Lin Daiyu broke free with a smile and said, "Brother Cong, Qingwen and they have already gotten up, we can't be too late, I really envy them for being able to follow you all the time."

Jia Cong touched her head and said with a smile: "Fighting is not a good thing, not to mention how dangerous it is, the environment and conditions on the battlefield are too harsh, and there is really no comparison with it at home.

This expedition to counter-insurgency has to fight all over Shaanxi, almost all the whole journey is on the road, camping in the wilderness, that kind of suffering is not something ordinary people can bear, even if you can bear it, I am reluctant to let you suffer this suffering."

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I know, I'm just talking."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Yesterday, when I went down to the court, my father-in-law stopped me outside the main hall, saying that I took you into the wilderness and did not allow me to take you to the battlefield.

Lin Daiyu chuckled and said, "It's really fake, my dad is really looking for you?" Did you really say those things?"

Jia Cong said: "This can still be fake, if you don't believe it, just go home another day and ask your father-in-law."

Lin Daiyu smiled: "Okay, I believe you can do it, get up quickly, I feel that you have become lazy these days."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Gentle Township is a hero's grave, and I can't extricate myself from being trapped in your Gentle Township these days."

Lin Daiyu scolded with a smile: "Bah, you men, you rely on us women for everything, obviously you are greedy, you don't know moderation, and your willpower is not enough, but you rely on us. What beacon fire drama princes, what allure the country and the city, aren't they all done by you men themselves? If you have the ability, don't touch us, lest you, a big hero, become a big bear."

After saying that, he covered his mouth and giggled.

Zijuan came in with a basin of water, and she also pursed her lips and snickered, she must have heard Daiyu's words.

Jia Cong laughed and said, "This master has strong martial arts and marksmanship like a god, how can he be afraid of you demons and monsters, and he will pick you all if he is not convinced."

"Phew, shameless."

······

The two laughed for a while, and under Zijuan's service, they were dressed neatly.

came to the yard and exercised with Qingwen and others for more than half an hour, and then the exercise ended.

After breakfast, everyone was in no hurry to leave.

Jia Cong glanced at everyone and said to You Shi, "Sister-in-law, I'm not at home, so I'll entrust Ping'er to you and help me take care of them."

You Shi smiled: "Brother Cong, don't worry, it will be fine to have a sister-in-law, and when you come back triumphantly, you will definitely hand over the two of them to you completely."

Ping'er smiled: "The concubine is fine, the master doesn't have to keep thinking about me."

Xue Baochai glanced at Jia Cong and said with a smile: "The master doesn't believe us, and asked the eldest sister-in-law to help."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "You are still too young, and you have experienced less things, besides, I still have things for you to do, I am not at home, and I need you to help me keep an eye on business matters, don't let them make trouble down there."

In addition, this trip to Shaanxi, there is also a big business to do, I am not at home, this matter is also led by you, you and Sister Lin will go to the study with me in a while, I will tell you in detail, Sister Ping'er also come to listen, but if you want to focus on raising a fetus, don't get involved."

Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and Ping'er hurriedly agreed.

When Xue Baochai heard this, his eyes lit up.

Since last year, Jia

Cong let her get in touch with the business of the house, and she also had a certain understanding of the business in the house.

admired Jia Cong's earning ability, and what he admired was the five-body casting.

With nearly 100 years of operation of his Xue family, business in more than ten provinces, more than 100 shops, and a year's income, even 20% of the income of Ning Guofu cannot be reached, and it is really hard to believe.

[In view of the general environment,

I don't know what business to do next, isn't it going to war? Why are you going to do business again?

Thinking of this, I became even more curious.

Seeing that Jia Cong had something to say, the others left one after another.

Jia Cong took the three of them to the study, and after they sat down, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Cong, didn't you go to Shanxi to fight?" Why do we have to do business again, my sister is a little muddy."

Seeing that the three of them were all looking at him curiously, Jia Cong smiled and said, "Now there is a serious shortage of grain in Shaanxi, and the price of grain is still gradually rising, and in some places it has reached ten taels of silver and one stone of grain. In addition, there are bandits everywhere, and there will be a shortage of food for a long time.

Even if I exterminated the bandits, Shaanxi would still be short of grain, and the imperial court would not be able to provide relief at all, so I proposed to mobilize merchants to transport grain into Shaanxi, first, to solve the problem of lack of grain, and second, if there is more grain, the price will slowly come down, so that we can provide relief and make money, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, but they didn't expect their man to fight this idea.

Ping'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, do we really want to earn such money?"

"Yes, Brother Cong, our family is not short of money, why do we want to earn money from these victims, they are already quite pitiful."

Lin Daiyu was soft-hearted in the end, and after knowing the situation in the disaster area, she was also a little unbearable.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "I think the master's idea is very good, although we have also made money, and more importantly, we have also provided disaster relief, a large amount of grain has been shipped to Shaanxi, the price of grain can be suppressed, and the people can eat cheap grain, which is a good thing."

Sure enough, it is worthy of Sister Bao, this businessman's sense of smell is very keen.

Jia Cong smiled with satisfaction: "We don't make this money, but we also let those black-hearted businessmen make it, and the price is so high that few people can afford it. If it is profitable, everyone will desperately transport grain to Shaanxi, and the price of grain will be able to drop faster."

Lin Daiyu also understood after thinking about it, and when she saw Xue Baochai and Jia Cong singing and harmonizing, she couldn't help pouting and said, "You two are simply wearing a pair of pants, and they are both female businessmen."

Jia Cong smiled, "I really haven't worn a pair of pants, but I have slept in a quilt."

"Puff ······"

"Phew, shameless."

"Giggle······

Xue Baochai was made red-faced and glared at Jia Cong fiercely.

Lin Daiyu and Ping'er, but they couldn't help but laugh.

Several people laughed for a while, and Jia Cong spoke again: "Regarding the transportation of grain to Shaanxi, I have already informed Zhang Fu to start preparations, there should be more than one million stones of grain stored in the capital, and the first batch of 200,000 stones will be transported.

I will ask Wangcai to arrange a fleet and continue to go to Annam, Siam and other countries to buy grain. Sister Bao makes overall arrangements at home, grasps the overall situation, and sorts out the accounts by the way."

Xue Baochai smiled: "I know, the master's appetite is really not small, this time he is really going to eat a fat man."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "This first time the grain will be transported, and the more you will make a lot of money, the less you will earn in the future, so we have to seize this opportunity, and you have to grasp this matter." When this transaction is over, we will make enough money to spend for a lifetime.

By the way, inform Brother Xue of this matter, I believe he will be interested in such a lucrative matter."

Xue Baochai smiled, "Then I'll thank my brother first."

Jia Cong smiled, this matter was originally that the more people there were, the better, the main purpose was for disaster relief, making money was just piggybacking, just a means to attract everyone, there was not enough

interests, how could those businessmen go all the way to Shaanxi to transport grain.

Seeing Lin Daiyu staring at herself, she understood what she meant.

said with a smile: "Father-in-law has already asked Steward Lin to prepare, and he will go with our team when the time comes."

Lin Daiyu smiled in her eyes and said curiously, "Brother Cong, is my father really in the same league as you?"

Jia Cong smiled: "At first, I was not interested, but after I opened the guide, I figured it out."

Lin Daiyu chuckled and said, "Brother Cong, your ability is not small, even my father has persuaded me, and my sister admires you."

Several people talked and laughed for a while, and Jia Cong explained the entire plan to them in detail, and told them the follow-up plan, so that they had a clear understanding and facilitated the follow-up implementation.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "You two should cooperate with each other at home, take care of your home, don't fight."

"Cut."

The four big white eyes smashed at Jia Cong in unison.

Ping'er couldn't help but laugh "poof", and then, four big white eyeballs smashed towards Ping'er.

······

The news of Jia Cong's expedition quickly spread throughout Jiafu.

Mother Jia was also taken aback when she got the news, and hurriedly asked someone to call Jia Cong over.

When I came to Jia's mother's room, I saw that the room was full of people, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Kun, Wang Xifeng, and a group of sisters, all of them were many, but they lacked their two ladies.

Seeing Jia Cong coming in, Jia Mu beckoned and said, "Brother Cong, come and tell me, why do you want to go to war again?" Isn't it nice to be in the capital? Besides, you've only just been married."

Jia Cong stepped forward and saluted, and then sat down beside Jia's mother.

"Old lady, I don't want to fight at this time, it's just that the rebels in Shaanxi are strong, and the imperial counterinsurgency army has lost one after another, and this time it is almost completely annihilated, and the whole of Shaanxi has fallen into the hands of the rebels. Your Majesty has asked me to go on a campaign to quell the rebellion, and I can only do what I am told."

Wang Xifeng said, "Brother Cong, isn't it just some mud-legged people making trouble, is it so powerful?"

Jia Cong said: "At first, it was not powerful, but it was just fighting, and those who survived became elite soldiers, and now the rebels in the entire Shaanxi are united, and their strength is much stronger, and they should not be underestimated."

When Jia Mu heard this, she frowned.

To be honest, she didn't want Jia Cong to go to the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to win all battles and will definitely be able to come back alive.

If there is an accident, the sky of this Jia family will collapse.

With Jia Cong's status, there is no need to take risks at all, as long as he stays in Beijing, he can be rich and noble for a lifetime, and by the way, he will be able to protect Jia's family.

It's just that the king's fate is difficult to disobey, and she also understands the truth, and in the end she can only sigh helplessly.

"Brother Cong, since Your Majesty has made an order, it's useless to say anything, the battlefield is unpredictable, you must protect yourself, and you must come back alive."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, old lady, I won't joke with my own life, I will definitely protect myself, there are two new daughters-in-law waiting for me at home, and I am the commander of the first army, so I don't need to charge into battle in person."

Hearing Jia Cong say this, everyone was also relieved.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "It's good that you know, you must come back safely, when will you leave?"

Jia Cong said: "I will leave when the supplies here are ready, there are still about ten days, and I have to prepare some other things, and then my grandson will not come to say goodbye to the old lady."

Jia Mu said: "During this time, you have to receive soldiers and horses, and you have to receive supplies, you will definitely be very busy, so you don't need to come over and say goodbye, remember to come back safely, we are all waiting at home for the news of your triumph."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It will be."

Li Kun sighed deeply, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back.

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "

I have a way to make money here, and if you want to make money, you can get involved."

Wang Xifeng suddenly became interested when he heard this, leaned up to Jia Cong, and said curiously: "Good brother, what is the way to make money, hurry up and tell your sister-in-law, if it is reliable, your sister-in-law will definitely do it."

Li Kun smiled and said, "Listen, when it comes to making money, she becomes interested, and she is simply in the eyes of money."

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes and said, "Cut, it's like you don't like money, good brother, hurry up and talk about it."

"Actually, that's ······."

Jia Cong did not hesitate, and explained the details of the grain sale to everyone in detail.

Everyone listened, some of them pondered, and some of them were overjoyed.

Wang Xifeng said happily: "Listen to Brother Cong, this is simply a huge profit, this must be done, I will let people go down to prepare in a while."

Shi Xiangyun said, "Third brother, can our family follow suit?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Naturally, there is no problem, you tell your uncle and aunt, if you do it, you should prepare early, go buy food as soon as possible, others can do it if they want, there is no limit, anyone can do it, this is a good opportunity."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "There is such a good thing, it is rare that you still think about everyone, this thing can indeed be done."

In the end, after some discussion, Jia Lian came forward from the Rongguo Mansion to organize a grain team, and the big house and the second room each sent stewards to buy grain, and formed a grain team with Jia Lian, and even Jia's mother also sent a steward to participate.

After going back, he went to Xue's house with Xue Baochai and told Xue Pan about the sale of grain, and the mother and son were ecstatic.

Jia Cong spread the news through the Chamber of Commerce, so that all those who have the ability can participate in it, and when a large amount of grain is transported to Shaanxi, the disaster will naturally be calmed.

It's just that the people who got the news all took a wait-and-see attitude.

Shaanxi is so chaotic, ordinary people really don't dare to go, if they go, they are looking for death, not only can they not keep food, but it is also difficult for people to survive.

This requires someone to take the lead as an example, and Jia Cong, as an advocate, must be the first person to eat crabs, and open up the trade routes along the way.

If there are bandits or forces that are not long-sighted, they will be calmed down by the way.

As long as the first batch of people brought back a large amount of silver, there would naturally be people behind them who would follow suit.
