The next day, Jia Ke practiced Fang Tian Hua Ji in the morning, and then practiced the Spring and Autumn Daoyin Technique.
Then after having breakfast in Chuncao and Qiaolian, he asked Qiaolian to call Lin Zhixiao and Zhou Wang, and asked them to inform Liu Hong, the manager of the village, and Liu Yu, the member of the personal army, to come over. He had something to do.
To give orders.
After a while Liu Hong and Liu Yu came. Lin Zhixiao was about to leave when he saw the people coming. At this time, Jia Ke stopped him and said, "Manager Lin, you will stay too."
Jia Ke sat on it and first said to Liu Yu: "The Guards are almost done training, but they are missing the long-distance training. They will make up for it today. Now go back and let the kitchen make cakes and give them to the Guards as dry food. One
Meet outside my courtyard gate in an hour."
Liu Yu didn't say much, and only answered Jia Ke in a low voice: "I promise to complete it and never miss anything."
Jia Ke waved him off, and then said to Liu Hong: "I'm still worried about my village, and I still want to take a look. Liu Hong, you are the old village leader. Come with me and have a look. Wan
If there is anything wrong with me, please remind me. It will take a few days to go there, please prepare." After saying this, Liu Hong was asked to go down and prepare without waiting for a reply.
When they arrived at Lin Zhixiao, Jia Ke said: "You are familiar with all the villages in the house, so you can act as a guide and arrange carriages, horses, food and accommodation. Go down and prepare, and we will set off on time in an hour." After that, he sent Lin away.
Zhixiao went directly to the back house.
Lin Zhixiao walked out of the hall, walked to the courtyard, looked at the sky, and thought that the sky was about to change. He had long suspected about Jia Ke's village, but he just relied on the general trend and did not dare to imagine them.
He would be so bold, and there was no evidence again, so he didn't report it to Jia Ke. But looking at Jia Ke's appearance today, he might have seen a flaw. He was afraid that something would happen if he went there, but what Jia Ke told him, he still immediately
Went to do it.
When Jia Ke returned to the back house, Chun Cao immediately served tea. While drinking tea, Jia Ke said to Chun Cao: "Prepare some clothes for me. I have to go out soon. It may take a few days."
Chuncao said: "Uncle, we have to go there. We just took a break. Why are you so busy and you can't stay at home for a while."
Jia Ke looked at Chuncao and thought, this girl has taken good care of him since he traveled through time. In his heart, Chuncao is different from others, so he is not wary of her.
"Something happened over there at Zhuangzi. I want to go take a look." Jia Ke said.
"Didn't I already receive compensation from you? Do you still want me to go see you?"
"I suspect that there is something fishy about Zhuangzi. So I have to check the truth. Don't tell anyone else about this. Go and prepare some clothes for me."
Chun Cao then went to prepare things for Jia Ke. Because she didn't go there for a long time, she only had a few changes of clothes, and they were all packed up in a short time.
Jia Ke went over and took a look. Although there were much fewer bags than the last time he came to Xia Caozhuang, there were still several big bags. He smiled and said, "You're just going out for a few days, are you going to use so many clothes?"
"This is not only my uncle's, but mine as well."
Jia Ke immediately understood that Chuncao wanted to go together, so he said, "I'm going to do business, why are you joining in the fun?"
"Uncle, if you go to the village alone and there is no one to serve you for a few days, I don't worry."
"I used to be in the Guards Corps, wasn't I alone? Why don't I worry?" Jia Ke said.
"Can it be the same? In the Guards Corps, we only walk a little bit. I go and have a look when I think about it. It's the same as at home. But when I go out and walk for a few days, how can I rest assured." After Chun Cao finished speaking, he pestered Jia Ke.
, asking him to agree to let her go with him.
Jia Ke, on the other hand, thought that it was inconvenient for Chuncao to be a girl because all the people were there, so she disagreed anyway.
Seeing that Jia Ke was determined not to let her follow, Chun Cao had no choice but to stop entangled. Instead, she had to point out the packages to Jia Ke one by one and explain to him carefully what this was and what that was.
An hour later, Lin Zhixiao came in to report that he was ready, and Jia Ke was escorted out of the house by Chun Cao and Qiao Lian.
I saw the guardsmen lined up in a row at the entrance of the courtyard, each holding a 15-foot-long wooden stick in their hands. Dozens of them stood there motionless like wooden figures.
There were two carriages in front of the Guards. Jia Ke saw that they were all ready and was about to get on the carriage. Just as he was about to step on the step stool, he suddenly remembered something, so he turned around and entered the house again. After a while, he pulled out the green-maned horse and held a bag in his hand.
Fang Tian painted a halberd.
He asked someone to tie the green-maned horse to the back of the cart, then he got into the cart with Fang Tian's painted halberd, and ordered Lin Zhixiao to set off.
This group of people walked out of the village in a mighty manner. Along the way, countless villagers came to see them off. Some of them had family members in the Guards Corps, and they even called each other's names loudly from a distance, but the Guardsmen did not look away.
As if you didn't hear it, Old Man Liu was also among the people seeing him off. He felt very proud when he saw the performance of the Guards. This is due to his contribution.
Jia Ke led his troops out of Xiacaozhuang, and Lin Zhixiao led them straight to Jia Ke's Zhuangzi.
Jia Ke didn't pay too much attention to this village since it was given to him by Jia Mu. He thought it would not be a big deal, and at most it would be that the steward would deduct some rent from it, but he never expected these people to be so bold.
On the way, Jia Ke was sitting in the carriage, and Lin Zhixiao and the coachman were sitting at the front and left of the carriage. Liu Hong and Zhou Wang were sitting in the carriage at the back, and the guards followed behind.
In the car, Jia Ke asked Lin Zhixiao: "How far is our Zhuangzi from Xiacaozhuang? When the old lady gave it to me, she only said it was not far from Xiacaozhuang. I don't know the specific distance."
Lin Zhixiao was outside the car, afraid that Jia Ke couldn't hear clearly, so he replied loudly: "Our Zhuangzi is about thirty miles away from Xia Caozhuang, which is closer to the capital than Xia Caozhuang."
Jia Ke asked again: "What is Zhuangzi's name and how many households are there?"
Lin Zhixiao still said loudly: "Our village is called Wangjiatun, and there are more than a hundred households."
Jia Ke asked again: "Have you ever failed to pay rent on time in Wangjiatun before?"
Lin Zhixiao replied: "I can't say it again. Even though there was a flood one year and it rained a lot, Wangjiatun also paid the rent on time. I remember that the old lady at that time said that the manager of Wangjiatun was very attentive and capable of taking precautions.
." Lin Zhixiao told Jia Ke the news he knew calmly.
Jia Ke now understood why Jia Mu gave Wangjiatun to him. This was because Jia Mu believed that the manager of Wangjiatun was capable and reliable, and could share Jia Ke's worries. Anyway, for now,
Jia's mother treated his grandson very well, even more than her legitimate son Jia Zhu.
Jia Ke asked Lin Zhixiao again: "What is the name of the steward of Wangjiatun?"
Lin Zhixiao replied: "Li An, the steward of Wangjiatun, married Grandma Lai's daughter." This was Lin Zhixiao's reminder to Jia Ke.
When Jia Ke heard what he said, he said lightly: "I told you, it turns out he is her son-in-law." and stopped talking.
At noon, the team begged for some water and gave them dry food in a passing village. Originally, the village elders saw that Jia Ke was a young man from a wealthy family and wanted to invite Jia Ke to his home for a meal, but Jia Ke declined.
He also ate solid food with everyone.
After lunch, everyone set off immediately without delay. At about three o'clock in the afternoon (in the future, we will use the modern time for everyone's convenience), Lin Zhixiao said to Jia Ke: "Uncle, Wangjiatun is ahead."
Jia Ke said to him: "Don't enter the village yet, walk around the village."
Lin Zhixiao agreed and led the team to circle around Wangjiatun.
Jia Ke opened the car curtains and looked outside, only to see a green field outside the village. The wheat fields in the fields were almost finished harvesting, but there was still a small part that had not been harvested, and some crops that were probably sorghum had not yet been harvested.
Looking at the crops growing well, I never thought they were suffering from drought.
Jia Ke's face became gloomy. Lin Zhixiao felt Jia Ke's anger next to him and immediately held his breath, not daring to disturb him for fear that he would vent his anger on him.
