In mid-September, the autumn harvest is just around the corner.

At this time, there are golden crops everywhere in Juntun, and the autumn wind sweeps through, and there are golden waves everywhere, which is very beautiful.

Chen Xun stood in the field, looking at the large fields of ripe crops, and involuntarily left tears.

Under Liu Yan's leadership, Dapanbao only took more than half a year to make great achievements, and there was such a harvest, which Chen Xun did not dare to imagine last year. Although this year's harvest may not be enough for the military households in the fort to eat next year, but each family has a harvest after all, and the future days will also have a head, which is called hope!

Since it was the busy farming season, and every household was busy harvesting, Chen Xun also began to lead the team to live in the military camp day and night, and followed the young military households on the military camp to harvest the crops together.

In order to speed up the harvesting of crops, Liu Yan asked Wang Bo's team to live in Juntun and harvest crops together.

Although there is not a shortage of manpower in Dapanbao now, this is only in the case that the affairs of Dapanbao are no longer expanding.

Liu Yan already has a plan to expand the number of people, and the construction of Dapan Fort must be completely completed before the cold winter comes, which requires a lot of manpower, so the time for the harvest of the military tun must be hurried, so that before the cold winter comes, the expansion of troops and the completion of the construction of the fort will be completed.

It's just that after being so busy for a few days, the high-intensity work not only exhausted the military households, but also several military households accidentally injured their hands and feet while working.

At this time, although it was already late autumn, the temperature in the area of Dapanbao was still very high, and those few military households were worried about the harvest, so they only treated their wounds a little, and then returned to the military camp to get busy, and did not take these inadvertent injuries to heart.

As a result, within two days, the wounds of those military households were all inflamed without exception, and one of them still had a high fever.

Liu Yan hurried over when he heard the news, and after checking it in person, he saw that the wounds of several people were bleeding pus, and the situation was not optimistic. Liu Yan knew that there was a shortage of doctors and medicines in Dapanbao at this time, and some of the only local medicines could not effectively reduce inflammation, so he ordered someone to drive an ox cart, and sent a few people to Wangjiazhuang to find a doctor for diagnosis and treatment that day, and the consultation fee was paid by himself.

The families of those military families all surrounded Liu Yan and thanked him, and then hurriedly followed him to Wangjiazhuang.

"It seems that Dapanbao is also going to be equipped with some doctors, and I have time to go to Wangjiazhuang to find someone from Wang Weizhen, who is in charge of the team. In the future, if there is a large-scale war and there is no qualified doctor with the army, it will be a disaster for the wounded in the army! ”

Liu Yan thought in his heart, and then thought of alcohol, which is a good medicine for sterilization and inflammation, and it is also a necessary material on the battlefield.

In fact, as early as when making soap to make money, Liu Yan had the idea of making wine, which can not only make money by making wine, but also produce medical alcohol, which is the best of both worlds.

It's just that at that time, Liu Yan's energy was focused on making soap, and then he began to build forts, and during this period, Liu Dayu, Liu Qunyi, and Shen Wenyun came over with people to make trouble. In addition, some time ago, Liu Yan concentrated his efforts to open up the salt drying field, and then sent troops to encircle and suppress Haikou, and this pile and one thing after another were pressed by mistake, so that Liu Yan couldn't free up his hands at all, so he put down the winemaking matter for the time being.

Now things inside and outside Dapanbao are on the right track, although it is not prosperous, but it is also thriving, some things do not need Liu Yan to stare at one by one, there are Chen Xun, Wang Yue, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, Wang Bo, Zhang Yi, these six small flag officials are in charge of a stall, Liu Yan thought about putting the matter of winemaking on the agenda.

So early the next morning, Liu Yan brought a war horse from the night and rode to Wangjiazhuang alone.

After arriving at Wangjiazhuang, Liu Yan did not go to the Baihu official hall, but first went to the medical hall on Wangjiazhuang, visited the injured military households in the fort, and left some broken silver for a few people, so that a few people could recuperate here with peace of mind, and then return to the castle after the injury was healed.

Coming out of the medical hall, Liu Yan rode a horse to Wanfu Oil Mill.

Liu Yan tied the reins on the horse-tethered stake outside, and then walked into the Wanfu Oil Mill, at this time Wang Jing, who was busy in the oil mill, saw Liu Yan's visit, and immediately smiled, hurriedly put down the work at hand, and pulled Liu Yan in, at the same time, Wang Jing did not forget to turn around and said loudly: "Come on, take care of Liu Zongqi's war horse." ”

The two entered the backyard and sat down directly in the main house, where their own servants came to serve tea.

"Hehe, Mr. Liu has been really busy lately, the old man hasn't seen Mr. Liu for more than a month, I miss it very much, I miss it very much!"

"The old man also heard that now the fort wall of Dapan Fort is almost completed, and it is already a Datun Fort that is no less than Wangjiazhuang, which is really amazing."

Liu Yan smiled and humbled himself, and then said: "I haven't been here for many days, how is the shopkeeper Wang lately?" ”

"Good, all well!"

Since the soybean oil order of Dapanbao, Wanfu Oil Mill can be said to have found a large customer who is both stable and golden, and has earned the silver of the past few years in a few months.

After having the silver, Wang Jing also expanded the Wanfu Oil Mill last month, and recruited a few more guys, and now the Wanfu Oil Mill is already the largest oil mill in Wangjiazhuang, and even the business of the two oil mills of Old Lady Xu has plummeted, and the business that was not very good is not as good as before.

Saying that, Wang Yunhe heard the movement here, and also hurried over, and when he saw Liu Yan who was talking and laughing with Wang Jing, he smiled slightly red, and entered the house to greet him: "It turns out that Liu Zongqi is here, and the little woman is polite." ”

Liu Yan saw Wang Yunhe coming, got up and said with a smile: "Miss Wang, I haven't seen you for many days, and it's really shining brighter." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jing was slightly stunned, then coughed dryly, and lowered his head to drink tea.

Wang Yunhe was slightly stunned, and then with a flushed face of anger, he turned around and went out.

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then he understood. His own words are nothing in the future generations, just a joke. But in this era, a joke is like a teasing, no wonder Wang Yunhe turned around and ran away in shame.

Then Liu Yan looked at Wang Jing and wanted to explain, but saw Wang Jing looking at him with a meaningful smile, and then said: "Liu Zongqi sits, let's talk about ours, don't worry about that girl." ”

Liu Yan smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Shopkeeper Wang, has there been any movement in the Xu family during this time?" ”

Wang Jing shook his head and said: "That's not true, now the business of the Xu family's oil mill is not good, I was worried that the Xu family would come to find trouble, after all, it was the trumpet who robbed the Xu family's business." But the old man was also strange, that Mrs. Xu didn't make any moves, let the business of his own oil mill deteriorate, and ignored the trumpet. ”

Liu Yan also groaned when he heard this: "This is strange! ”

Then Wang Jing remembered something and said, "By the way, I heard that the Xu family is buying sorghum on a large scale during this time. ”

"What?"

Liu Yan was a little surprised, could it be that Mrs. Xu thought of one place with herself, and she couldn't do a brewing business?

Wang Jing looked at Liu Yan's surprised appearance and asked, "Liu Zongqi, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Yan said: "To be honest, I came to visit today just to ask about sorghum. ”

"So Liu Zongqi also wants to buy sorghum?"

Liu Yan nodded and said, "I do have this idea. Shopkeeper Wang has been doing business in Wangjiazhuang for a long time, and I originally thought that Shopkeeper Wang might know some sorghum market, so I thought of coming over to ask for advice. It's just that I didn't expect that the Xu family would have this idea. ”

Wang Jing sighed, and then said: "I just heard that it is said that the old lady Xu bought sorghum on a large scale because there were foreign businessmen who wanted to buy it in large quantities. ”

Liu Yan frowned slightly, and said secretly: "There are foreign businessmen who buy sorghum in large quantities? I haven't heard of it! ”

"I don't know where the merchant came from, does the shopkeeper know the name?"

Wang Jing pondered, and then said uncertainly: "I really don't know where the merchant came from, but the foreign merchant seems to be surnamed Sun, called, Sun Qian?" That's right, it's called Sun Qian! ”

"Sun Qian!"

Liu Yan stood up suddenly, his face became solemn, and he said secretly: "It shouldn't be the same name and surname, but isn't Sun Qian a smuggler of salt, why is the sorghum poured again?" ”

At this time, Liu Yan had no intention of talking to Wang Jing anymore, so he was about to leave and go back, and he had to ask Wang Yue if he had the intention to find Sun Qian during this time.

Since Liu Yan broke Mrs. Xu's face in Wanfu Oil Mill and forced Liu Dayu away, he understood that he had married Mrs. Xu. But what surprised Liu Yan was that the old lady Xu had never made any big moves during this period of time, except for Liu Dayu who came to make trouble and begged for military accounts before, he never came to look for trouble.

But Liu Yan has always had a string in his heart, whether it is Mrs. Xu or Liu Dayu, they are not good people, they don't come to find trouble, not only do they not look for trouble.

Now from the news I got from Wang Jing, it seems that Mrs. Xu is involved with Sun Qian, a smuggler of salt, and this Sun Qian also resents Liu Yan because of the matter of the right to sell sea salt, so at this time Liu Yan suddenly became vigilant, and it is expected that Mrs. Xu and Liu Dayu must be planning something with Sun Qian.

Liu Yan was about to say goodbye with his fists, but when he saw Wang Yunhe walking in with a red face again, Liu Yan hurriedly smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Miss Wang, don't blame, it's me who doesn't speak very well, and I offended Miss Wang." ”

Wang Yunhe raised her eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "Oh? Since Liu Zongqi sincerely apologized, he promised me one thing, how about it? ”

Seeing this, Wang Jing made a gesture and said: "You girl, how can you talk to Liu Zongqi like this." ”

Liu Yan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way." Miss Wang don't worry, don't say one thing, ten things are fine. ”

Wang Yunhe smiled and said: "I have heard about the big waterwheel in Dapanbao, and when I went to Dapanbao before, I didn't bother to go up to see it, Liu Zongqi tell me about it, what is the big waterwheel like, so that it has been spread everywhere in Wangjiazhuang." ”

Although Liu Yan summoned back at this time, but in the face of Wang Yunhe, Liu Yan couldn't get up, under Wang Jing's greeting, sat opposite Wang Yunhe, and talked about the various details of the big waterwheel in detail, Wang Yunhe was like a little girl listening to a story, staring at Liu Yan and listening.

After a while, Liu Yan said almost, but seeing that Wang Yunhe was still addicted to it, he said with a smile: "Since Miss Wang is so interested in the big waterwheel, I don't think it's as good as this, when the shopkeeper Wang is free, you father and daughter will go to Dapanbao together as guests, I will take the two of you to see the big waterwheel together, and let me do my best to be a landlord." ”

Wang Jing laughed when he heard this, then clapped his hands and said: "Okay, since Liu Zongqi has warmly invited, then there is time another day, I will definitely take the little girl to Dapanbao to disturb Liu Zongqi and take a look at the famous waterwheel of Wangjiazhuang." ”

Wang Yunhe laughed, and then ran out step by step.
