The tenth day of the first lunar month.

Yangzhou Prefecture, Jufeng Island.

The hustle and bustle of the New Year are far from over, and spring in Yangzhou Prefecture has not arrived yet.

However, this Jufeng Island, which will be 300 acres, seems to be isolated from the world. It is unknown what the year is, and it is nearly 3,000 strong men, working hard.

Cargo ships dragging sand and bluestone slabs docked on the dock, and various materials were transported down like water and spread out to all parts of the island.

Qi Yun wore a silver silk brocade peacock pattern big red feather satin cloak, which was coquettish and tight. He said to Jia Qiang, who was only wearing a light fur cloak: Good minister, help you clean up this island, the Qi family has suffered a lot this time.In order to speed up the construction period, the original craftsmen with more than a thousand people expanded to nearly three thousand.Almost all the craftsmen in Yangzhou Prefecture did not have a good New Year.There are also various blacksmiths, masons, carpenters, locksmiths... The locks on all over the island are specially made. In key places, you must collect three keys to open at the same time before you can open the door.By the way, look at that side, there and there...

Qi Yun pointed to three directions again and said: At these three places, the old man gave the order, do you know how many broken ships have sunk?

Jia Qiang understood that this was to block the waterway for safety purposes, so he asked with a smile: How much has it sunk?

Qi Yun himself also found it funny and said: There are 200 large and old ships in Yangzhou Prefecture, most of which have been sunk around this area, and there are broken nets. Ordinary ships cannot enter at all. Even people with extremely familiar water will not dare to get into this Jedi easily.If you raise more dogs on all sides, you will definitely be foolproof.

At this point, Qi Yun sighed again and said: Grandfather has ignored civil affairs for many years. This time he took action, he was really a big deal!Even puppies and dog slaves have found you...

Jia Qiang looked at the brand new workshops on the island, the rows of workers' residences around them, and the bluestone road paved in parallel with three horses, and chuckled softly: Thank you, Mr. De'ang, but you don't need this look.Your third uncle almost killed me. For the sake of Old Master Qi, I pressed this matter and changed to such a small island.Why, does Brother De'ang think my life is not worth this island, or do you think your third uncle's life is not worth it?By the way, I forgot to ask, how are your third uncle doing recently?I'm afraid this year is not very easy, right?

Qi Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: Good minister, this matter... I am unhappy at home, so please forgive me.My third uncle... Alas, I went back to the ancestral land of Anhui and went with my father.

When Jia Qiang heard this, he smiled and stopped mentioning this matter. Finally, he asked: Can all be completed today?

Qi Yun nodded and said: He has expanded his manpower three times, working day and night for more than a month. Today is the last day and it will definitely be completed completely.In addition, the iron and copper ware you made, as well as cylinders, urns, wooden frames and other irons, were all sent to the workshop.For these things, Xu Zhongluan didn't have a good year. She traveled half of the Jiangnan area to prepare for it.Mainly, during the New Year Festival, the door shops are not open very much.Good minister, my grandfather wanted to come in person today, but he was not very comfortable in the past two days, so he didn't come. I asked me to hand over this Jufeng Island to you in full.I also wish you to plant the sycamore tree and attract the golden phoenix.

After Jia Qiang smiled and thanked her, he said with concern: Is the old man still strong?

Qi Yun smiled and said: Fortunately, I hope you will be a guest again.

Jia Qiang laughed and said: This is not sincere. There are many people in Yangzhou Prefecture, and I am afraid that everyone is waiting for the Salt Courtyard to be lifted out. My husband and I quickly return to Beijing.No hurry, after the Lantern Festival, we set off back to Beijing.I think Brother De'ang already knows that the first batch of people have already moved.

Qi Yun twitched the corner of her mouth, but she didn't admit it, so she could only nod and said: The family has already packed my third sister and I.

Jia Qiang smiled, changed his subject and said: Okay, that's all for today, and officially take over the island tomorrow.Don’t delay here too much, just go back and spend more time with your grandfather.When he left, the Qi family and me would have to worry about it.I won't go, Brother Laude'ang told me on my behalf that although there are some flaws in the friendship between me and the Qi family, I have to say that I admire him very much.I am also willing to continue working hand in hand with Qijia.This world is so vast that it can accommodate tens of millions of families and tens of millions of Jia Qiang.You and I have two families, if you and I have a combination, you will benefit from each other, and if you fight, you will lose both.Please rest assured, I agree with this principle.As long as there is no more turmoil in the Qi family, I will not change it.

When Qi Yun heard this, his face turned solemn and bowed: Don’t worry, good minister, I will bring you these words.

……

Salt Courtyard.

Churindo.

When Jia Qiang came in, Lin Ruhai was talking to Jia Lian.

I will return to Beijing in four or five days. When I come, you and Brother Qiang come together. When I leave, I don’t look like you?

Jia Qiang had never seen Lin Ruhai angry before, and even when facing a bastard Wangbagaozi like Jia Lian, he still had a gentle tone.

Jia Lian naturally was not afraid and said with a smile: Uncle, aren’t I still having some things in Jinling? It’s only a few days. After I finish my work, I will return to Beijing immediately [Shuquge] and will never delay one more day!

When he saw Jia Qiang coming in, he just glanced at him sideways and ignored him.

Jia Lian could see that Jia Qiang has now climbed Lin Ruhai's high branch, but he was not jealous, but instead felt that it was better. There was an elder who was disciplined, which was better than the one who dared to bare his teeth with anyone like a wild dog...

But I didn’t expect that as soon as this thought arose, I heard Jia Qiang say coldly: Is the matter in Jinling not over?Is it because the prostitutes on the Qinhuai River that didn’t have enough sex, or are you going to take the concubine from Admiral Liu’s family to elope with you?Why do you have so many bad things everywhere you go?

Upon hearing this, Jia Lian almost glared out his eyes and pointed at Jia Qiang and stuttered: You...you...you...

Looking at Jia Qiang's increasingly sharp eyes, Jia Lian, who was weak by nature, dared not to resist. He had to turn his head and complain to Lin Ruhai: Uncle, look at him, look at him!I am still his uncle. Is there such a nephew in the world who talks to his uncle?

Lin Ruhai sighed and looked at Jia Lian and said: Lian'er, Brother Zhen from your East Mansion is gone, go back earlier.

Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't react for a moment and murmured: Brother Zhen is gone... Then his eyes suddenly opened wide, and most of his soul was scared. He looked at Lin Ruhai in horror and shouted: What? How is that possible? ! Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Lin Ruhai shook his head, picked up a letter from the table next to him, pushed it to Jia Lian, and said: The letter from Duzhong has been funeral a few years ago, and died suddenly after suffering from a serious illness.Not only Jia Zhen, but also his son Jia Rong, were beaten half to death by Jia Zhen and collapsed on the bed.The old lady wrote to Qiang'er to reply quickly.You can go back with me too...

Jia Lian read the letter halfway through the letter, and shed tears, and she cried into tears.

Jia Qiang saw it aside and had no temper.

Is this guy a bad guy?

It's not a calculation.

When I was studying in the Red Mansion in my previous life, the male who had some human feelings in the Jia family was afraid that this would be the bastard.

But he is too careless in his work. He doesn't let go of other people's wives who are dirty and smelly.

It is difficult to bully the weak and fear the strong and have no ambitions, so it is difficult to force yourself to stay in your career.

Of course, these are just Jia Lian’s own business and have nothing to do with him.

As long as Jia Lian doesn't get in front of him, Jia Qiang is too lazy to pay attention to these things.

Seeing Jia Lian crying like this, Jia Qiang and Lin Ruhai shook their heads slightly and said to Jia Lian: Do you want to go back together? You can do it yourself.It takes 49 days to stop the spirit, and it’s not necessary to go back two days later.

Jia Lian wiped his tears, raised his head and said anxiously: Why do you have to wait for four or five days? Today... Is it possible to leave tomorrow?

Jia Qiang frowned and said: The matter in Aunt’s yamen needs to be settled with the Governor’s yamen.

Jia Lian said annoyedly: What about you?The old lady’s letter means that you will go back quickly and adopt it.Rong'er is ruined, you are the ones in the East Mansion, so do you want to drag it?

In the Xinli, Jia Mu did have this intention. Xu was afraid that Jia Qiang would fall in love with the rich and unwilling to return to Beijing, so he lured him with bait.

Adoption?

Jia Qiang sneered and said: I have my own parents, why should I recognize others?

you……

Jia Lian looked at Jia Qiang in amazement, feeling a little confused about what he meant.

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said: Lian'er, let's go down, prepare, Sixteenth and I will set off together.

Jia Lian wanted to say something, but looking at Lin Ruhai's calm gaze, he couldn't say anything for a moment, so he could only leave sadly.

After Jia Lian left, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang and said: Do you really have no intention of inheriting the title?

Jia Qiang shook his head and said: Aunt, no matter how I think, I think that inheriting Ning Guozuo will do more harm than good.It looks glamorous, but it is actually a burden. It is better not to accept this title!

Lin Ruhai sighed lightly and said: I'm afraid it's not that easy.

Jia Qiang also understood Lin Ruhai's meaning. If the Jia family could make the decision, it would be impossible for Jia Mu, Jia She and others to let him inherit such a big family business as Ningguo Duke's Mansion.

Therefore, there is only one possibility that this will be achieved, which is the meaning of the palace...

And why did the palace order him?

There is no doubt that he still liked the title of a good minister, the Supreme Emperor, so that he could make a knife and kill the old minister of Jingchu.

But how can this knife be made?

As Han Bin's sword, he only deals with a few Yangzhou salt merchants. He is rich and his backers are amazing. But with Han Bin and Lin Ruhai, he can still barely catch them.

However, who is the emperor's sword against?

That is the true ending of ten deaths without life.

Jia Qiang understands these, and Lin Ruhai understands them too.

Jia Qiang said without any embarrassment: Please give me some advice on how to overcome this difficulty.

After thinking for a while, Lin Ruhai slowly said: I don’t have a good idea, but... the nobles above the Bo Mansion inherited the title and were awarded the title.

Examination for the exam?

Jia Qiang's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: I don't know what to take?

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: Cavalry, archery, and military strategy.

When Jia Qiang heard this, he became more and more happy and said: Not to mention riding and shooting, even stepping, I guess I can't hit three or two of them even if I shoot a hundred arrows.

Lin Ruhai said regretfully: If the emperor intends to use you, these are all trivial matters.Qiang'er, things have come to this point, just want to escape useless.How can a real man take refuge in a blind way?You are not alone, I am here, and Mr. Banshan, who once said in his letter that he owe you a favor.This kind of favor is of great importance.So, just let go of it.

Jia Qiang was full of bitterness when he heard this, and shook his head and said: Auntie, I am not afraid of dangers and difficulties. I have only planned for half a year and have already set the way forward for several years or even more than ten years later. Who knows...

Killing Jia Zhen is a bit of a mistake!

However, it was not a mistake. Who would have expected that Jia Zhen would destroy Jia Rong before she died?

If Jia Rong does not die, everyone will be happy.

Seeing him like this, Lin Ruhai laughed and said: Qiang'er, Qiang'er, I originally said that you are Sun Xingzhe, you can do anything.How old are you this year? Have you decided to make the way in a few years or ten years?The world's general trend is changing rapidly. Who can know what will happen in the future and how do you decide?Furthermore, even so, have you forgotten the two lines of poetry you wrote?

Mountains block the rocks, and the river flows eastward.

Snow presses against frost, and the plum blossoms are still blooming towards the sun!

Poetry expresses one's aspirations, why? Now I'm discouraged when I encounter such a little difficulty?

Besides, I don’t think this matter is all bad, right?

After hearing this, Jia Qiang smiled bitterly and did not defend anything. After exhaling for a long time, his eyes suddenly said sharply: What my aunt taught me is that I understand. If I really can't push it, then let the storm come more violently!

Hahaha!
