Qin Huaidao still didn't dare to speed up and show his joy. There were guards and servants everywhere nearby. Who was not Li Er's spy? He dragged his tired body slowly away and came to Zhuque Gate.
"Young Master!" came a surprised voice.
Soon, Jia Youcai rushed up with a happy smile on his face, just like an old father seeing his child come back with meritorious service. Qin Huaidao also respected Jia Youcai who had watched him grow up, and bowed: "Uncle Jia.
"
"Hurry, go back home." Jia Youcai said happily.
Qin Huaidao got on the carriage that came to pick him up. Jia Youcai asked someone to lead the white-hooved black war horse to follow him. He drove the car himself, shook the reins, and shouted happily: "Drive--"
The carriage was moving slowly, there were too many people on the street, and the court had clearly stated that horses were not allowed to gallop.
When they arrived at the house, the servants brought a brazier, and Heer dipped grapefruit branches and leaves into the water and sprinkled it on her body, which meant praying for blessings, driving away evil spirits, and avoiding filth. Her pretty face was full of smiles.
Qin Huaidao followed the locals when he came to the countryside. As long as everyone was happy, it didn't matter. When he stepped into the house, he couldn't help but feel at ease. It was good to go home. He smiled and said: "Uncle Jia, when this young master returns with great achievements, everyone in the house will be given a hundred coins and a silver reward."
, feel happy, and the neighbors will disperse, and you will see to the arrangements."
"Thank you, young master, for the reward!" Everyone shouted happily. During this period, the family made a lot of money, and everyone's pockets were bulging. They looked down upon this hundred yuan, but they felt honored by this attention - young master's heart
There is us.
When he came to the backyard bathroom, Qin Huaidao lay down in the large wooden bucket that had been prepared a long time ago. He soaked a lot of grapefruit peels in the water and felt the lotus scrub. He relaxed and closed his eyes comfortably. He smiled and said: "It's still lotus."
It’s best, son. It’s been a hard time without you to take care of me during this period. I’ll take you with me wherever I go next time.”
"Really, the young master is a big shot and doesn't want to lie to others." He'er's eyes lit up.
"When did the Young Master of the Qin family lie to you? Tell me about what happened recently." Qin Huaidao smiled, enjoying He'er's massage and scrubbing. How could such conditions be found in the bitter and cold land of Tubo? It is rare to take a bath once a month.
We had to eat and sleep in the open air all the way here, so we were very tired.
He'er quickly agreed, talking about all the recent events in detail, just like a virtuous wife telling her husband everything, unnaturally showing her longing and affection. Qin Huaidao listened carefully without interrupting or asking questions.
, while thinking about it, until after everything was said, he asked for some details.
After taking a shower, he put on clean casual clothes and came out. He went to the restaurant for a meal first, and then went to the study to listen to Jia Youcai's report on other matters. After listening for more than half an hour, he fully grasped the situation and didn't say anything more, leaving Jia Youcai to report.
If you have money, leave and continue to focus on decoration.
In the afternoon, Qin Huaidao had a good sleep and recovered a lot. He met Xue Rengui who had arrived in the study. Xue Rengui told him in detail what he had done after returning, and finally added: "Young Master, I have been to Luo Zhang, those
I have been recruited alive, but what I know is very limited. I usually live in a farm ten miles south of the city. I come out when ordered, but hide inside without seeing anyone. I am like a puppet. I have arranged for someone to keep an eye on the farm secretly."
"Have you checked the farm?"
"After checking, the owner is Zhang Yuanwai, a very ordinary small landowner. He also owns hundreds of acres of land around Zhuangzi. However, this man is usually very low-key and kind to others, including the tenants. He is called Zhang by the people nearby.
A good man, childless, about fifty."
Qin Huaidao began to think deeply, tapping his fingers on the coffee table, his eyes slightly focused.
Xue Rengui knew Qin Huaidao's habit of thinking, so he did not disturb him and waited patiently.
After a while, Qin Huaidao suddenly said: "Ignore him and pull our people back. Since we are 'hiding the front', we should be thorough and clear the way so that the people behind and the Holy One can directly attack. We can no longer act as a shield. There is no benefit at all."
Have all the brothers’ silver rewards been paid out?”
"Send it."
"I'm afraid that the old purchasing uncle who was kidnapped is no longer alive. I'm going to find He'erzhi 200 guan as compensation. Tomorrow I'll go to Qinjiazhuang to have a look. By the way, how has Zhao Shuwen been doing lately?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"I have always tried my best, even Zhuangzi has never been out. In the past two months, the Qinjiazhuang has been unable to put down the production, white paper, straw paper, soap and other items. The industrial park wall has also been built, most of the warehouses have been built, and the dormitories are still there.
It's under construction and will be coming soon," Xue Rengui said quickly.
"Have all the brick and tile houses in Qinjiazhuang been allocated?"
"It's divided. Each household will be numbered according to the method you told us before you left. We will draw lots to decide. Everyone has moved in early. Everyone is happy and grateful to the young master. The young master's house on the top of the mountain has also been repaired. Butler Jia and I,
He'er discussed it and packed some furniture so that it can be moved in at any time. The school also found a few gentlemen, Mr. Wei, Wei Guogong and Fang Xianggong often go to teach. They also arranged a place to stay and have someone to take care of the food."
"That's good. You go back and tell Mr. Huang that all the old houses will be demolished to make room. Dig the soil to grow vegetables. It will be of great use in the future. Then build some houses to raise pigs. Since everything is going well in Qinjiazhuang, then I
Don’t go now, I’ll leave some other things to you,” Qin Huaidao warned.
"Pig, can that thing be eaten?"
Qin Huaidao knew that the rich people in this era looked down upon pork, thinking that pigs were vulgar, dirty, and not suitable for gentlemen. The poor people were not particular about it, but they could not afford it, so they did not explain much. He took out a pen and paper and drew a rectangle.
He drew a lot of small compartments, left passages, and explained: "This is a pig farm. Let Mr. Huang find a remote place to build it. It is built with cement and bricks. Each compartment can feed two or three pigs."
"Really?" Xue Rengui was a little worried.
"Don't worry, pigs have a bad smell, and the meat is sour and unpalatable. But I have a way to solve this problem. First build a pig farm. If there is no place to buy piglets, I will offer a reward. Let people go into the mountains to catch wild boars and raise them. Pork
It is edible and very delicious. The wild grass, wheat bran and sweet potato leaves are all real objects. Pig manure is the best fertilizer. There are many benefits, believe me." Qin Huaidao said and handed the drawing to Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui thought of Qin Huaidao's various miracles, agreed, put the drawings away, chatted for a few words and left.
Qin Huaidao, however, calmly thought about it and summarized the things mentioned by He'er, Jia Youcai and Xue Rengui respectively. After some careful consideration, he gradually gained some insights and became more determined in the "Hidden Front" plan.
Not long after, a team member guarding the village who was standing guard at the door ran in: "Young Master, someone who calls himself Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and Luo Zhang are here to visit."
"Just say that I am not in good health and have gone to bed. I will go to them when I recover." Qin Huaidao warned. It is not a good thing to show off your sharpness recently. It will be hated by others. Since you have decided to "hide your sharpness", you must hide it thoroughly. If
If the person behind the scenes is still aggressive, then it is not a matter of blocking the road, but a matter of mortal enmity, and they will not stop fighting.
Half an hour later, the eunuch who announced the decree came over and brought an imperial edict to promote him from the third rank to the second rank, with two thousand households living in the city. The previous one was one thousand households, but in fact there were only five hundred households. This time it was the actual number.
Feng, that is, to really give 2,000 households, and bring in the people of Zhaojiacun. In this way, the people of Zhaojiacun will officially move to Qinjiazhuang from their place of origin, and they will no longer be temporary residents of the refugee camp, without having to worry about being caught back.
The 500 households in Qinjiazhuang plus the 2,000 households in Zhaojiacun are not enough. The vacancies are filled by Qin Huaidao himself, which gives him a space to operate. It happens that Xue Rengui's household registration has not been transferred here, and quotas can be awarded to outsiders who have made meritorious deeds.
.
There is money to be made in Qinjiazhuang, and houses are divided. I don't know how many people are jealous, so I don't have to worry about no one.
In addition to the imperial edict, there are also two hundred thousand guans in reward and two large carts of precious medicinal materials. This time they brought back countless trophies from Tubo, 300,000 guans in gold and 3 million guans in silver. Only 200,000 guans were given. This is what Li Ertai is digging.
Better than nothing.
Qin Huaidao asked He'er to put the things in the warehouse, and was about to go back and take an afternoon nap. The servant hurriedly came to report that Princess Yuzhang was here. Qin Huaidao's face was a little stiff. He had given Princess Wencheng yesterday. Princess Yuzhang was not here to question him.
Right? I felt a little irritable for no reason, and said: "Just say that you are not feeling well, you have gone to bed, and you can't see the guests. Please forgive me, princess, and go."
The servant's eyes lit up. The young master was getting more and more powerful. He even dared not see the princess and left in a hurry.
He'er listened clearly and said worriedly: "Young Master, Princess Yuzhang is always at the house when you are not at home. She is very helpful and caring about you. Isn't it rude?"
"Just do it." Qin Huaidao couldn't explain, so he simply didn't explain and went back to his room to rest.
He'er felt that the young master was very angry. He was not sure whether he was angry with Yuzhang or himself. He was a little panicked and left with a grimace. He made up his mind to do his duty well and not to interfere with anything else.
