Because Xia Tingting was going to get engaged, Yuan Jia had to rush back to Yunzhou to make preparations even though it was a little early for the Chinese New Year.On the contrary, Fan Haoxuan had to stay in Quyang City and stick to his post until the last moment.

Yuan Jia was extremely reluctant to go back to Yunzhou, especially for Xia Tingting.He hadn't forgotten that the little girl and Xia Ruiyuan had killed him directly.And after that?The family's parents just put them in confinement, it's still for Fan Haoxuan's sake.In the eyes of these two small boys and girls, his life is no different from that of an ant.

Yuan Jia was not in a good mood. After returning to Yunzhou, he asked the housekeeper to prepare the congratulatory ceremony, and he took the time to complete the map and sea chart with Wu Nan, and he didn't even go to the Xia Palace.

Yuan Jia did not have Wu Nan's talent in this area, but his calculation ability was strong enough, and the cooperation of the two of them would be twice the result with half the effort.Yi Xuefeng was not good at this, he could only watch from the sidelines and get intelligence analysis with his hand.Islands, ocean transportation, medicine field planting, population migration, etc., are not trivial matters.

Zhuangzi in Yunzhou was being watched closely again. As soon as this wave of wheat was planted, someone thought of a way to exchange it from the farmer, but was scolded and ran away by the farmer.

Farmers don't recognize anyone else, they only recognize who can feed them.What Yuan Jia did to them was not just a matter of having enough food, and now the house in Zhuangzi's compound has almost come to an end.It was also because Yuan Jia didn't ask much at the time that he was so quick.

In these newly built houses, there is not only a grocery store that sells some daily necessities, but also distributes some basic herbal medicines to prevent the epidemic. If anyone in the house is sick, you can also come here to find a doctor, and general minor illnesses can be taken care of ; There is also a classroom, anyone can come in and listen, and they don't talk about advanced things, just recognize a few words, can do simple arithmetic, and talk about some basic hygiene knowledge.

All of the above are benefits for farmers.These measures were known by other people. Although they disagreed in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything more.This Zhuangzi belongs to Yuan Jia, and Yuan Jia can do whatever he wants.As an elder, Princess Xia can say a few words, but she still counts on Yuan Jia to grow food.Although the Wangfu has obtained the improved rice seeds, what about the wheat?What about more varieties of herbs?

Princess Xia didn't even say a word behind her back, Xia Tingting muttered "no rules" and was fined to copy the book.

Xia Tingting's condition was very bad. Ever since she was thrown under the city wall that time, she never had a good night's sleep.The ancestral hall is not a good place. Apart from the most basic living facilities, there are only full rankings and endless family rules.

Later, Xia Ruiyuan was released, and she came out with her, but it was as if she hadn't come out of that dream.Up to now, she was in a trance, no matter how much shock suppressant she drank, it was useless.Her face was pale, and no amount of powder could cover her dark circles.However, there was no one in the palace to speak for her, not even anyone who followed her to swear.

Yuan Jia "has no rules", but after learning of Yuan Jia's return, the Xia Palace still sent someone to invite him.

Yi Xuefeng rebuffed: "Master's family is tired from traveling and traveling, and his body is slightly ill, so it is not suitable to go out for a while." Others don't know, but Xia Palace knows it very well.This person is free to come and go, what a boat ride, it's all nonsense.

The person who got the reply didn't dare to say anything more, and didn't even dare to ask for a visit. Instead, he was relieved and hurried back to report.

Yi Xuefeng sent people away, returned to the study room that had been occupied by the map, and asked Yuan Jia: "When is Yuan Shao's body going to recover?"

Yuan Jia's work came to an end, and he was standing up and doing some activities at the moment, when he heard this, he frowned, "It depends on your mood." Anyway, he didn't think Xia Tingting would welcome him.

Relatively speaking, Yuan Jia planned to take Wu Nan's temporary departure as a matter of course.

To say that what Yuanjia lacks the most right now is definitely not money or food, but population.

Compared with the entire Southwest, there are not many people in the Wu family, but for Yuan Jia, there are definitely not many people.The Fan family's development has been deeply rooted for a long time, and its composition is too complicated.Even if Fan Haoxuan holds the Fan family firmly in his hands in the future, Yuan Jia's control is definitely not as good as the people in his hands.

Just relying on taking in refugees, the speed of development must be much slower.If there is a targeted migration, it will definitely be different.

Therefore, before Wu Nan left, Yuan Jia once again solemnly confessed: "If anyone wants to follow, please take care of them." Abduct more people!

Wu Nan nodded casually, clasping Yi Xuefeng's hand inseparably: "Brother~"

Yi Xuefeng seemed a little absent-minded because he thought of the adoptive parents who would come soon, so he just patted the back of Wu Nan's hand: "Be careful on the road."

Wu Nan was very dissatisfied, but he looked around and saw that there were too many people, the guard team alone had hundreds of people, and he didn't want to show much, but his beautiful eyes were shining brightly.

Yuan Jia looked at Yi Xuefeng who was in a trance, and silently lit the wax in his heart.

After Wu Nan was sent away, the rhythm of the entire Zhuangzi also slowed down.The steward of Fan's residence also found an opportunity to visit, reporting and asking for instructions from Yuan Jia with various matters.Generally speaking, there are many things to report and few things to ask for instructions.

The Fan family's large family business has been passed down for many years, and there is already a set of effective methods.There is a part about asking for instructions, that is, some farming and mulberry matters.

The Fan family was very puzzled by Fan Haoxuan's marriage to a puppet brother earlier. A small part of the reason why no one spoke was because Fan Haoxuan still had the title of patriarch, and the main reason was that no one took Fan Haoxuan seriously.

However, as Fan Haoxuan's power gradually emerged, the elders of the Fan family who wanted to replace him all felt as uncomfortable as eating flies.The members of the Lu family are put on the bright side, and have always been taking care of general affairs for the head of the family.Everyone knows this.However, Fan Haoxuan took out so many soldiers in Quyang City at once, it was like slapping several elders in the face several times.

When Fan Haoxuan followed Xia Ruicheng to suppress the bandits, although they didn't know the source of those troops, they were expected.How can I say that Fan Haoxuan is also the head of the Fan family, so there is always something behind him.But tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, can this be said by the second hand?

They are glad now that they didn't act too tough at that time, otherwise it would be really embarrassing. With these soldiers and horses alone, they would not be able to get any benefits.

That's right, they got the good breed.But the problem before him, apart from wanting more high-quality crops like the Xia Palace, is that Yuan Jia, who originally thought he was a refugee, has real skills!

It is still beyond their imagination!

When such a person is with Fan Haoxuan, it really cannot be called clinging.After more and more of Yuan Jia's abilities were exposed, the entire Fan family's attitude towards Yuan Jia was adjusted again.For example, when Yuan Jia returned to Yunzhou, if Fan Haoxuan was not there, he would not be living in Fan's mansion, but in his own villa. This kind of unruly behavior, no one dared to gossip in front of him.They didn't understand the measures Yuan Jia took on Zhuangzi, but many people picked a few Zhuangzi to try it out.

They didn't know what to do, but even a show of favor to Yuan Jia was profitable.

The news of the Fan family is much better than that of Zhuangzi.After the steward reported his work, he cleaned up the family that Xia Tingting married this time.

"Although the Xie family is not very distinguished, they have a strict family style. Young Master Xie is also a well-known talent, and now he is working in front of King Xia, and he is quite valuable."

Rigorous is good.Yuan Jia's face relaxed slightly: "How about Madam Xie?"

"Naturally, he is also an extremely dignified person."

Being dignified and respectful is the best.After Xia Tingting got married, it was foreseeable that she could say goodbye to horse riding and other activities.In the future, she will be accompanied by a group of maids and women instead of a group of private soldiers, and the waves that can be churned out will be much smaller.

Yuan Jia felt better, and asked about the gift list.

The steward had already prepared, so he took the list and handed it over.

Yuan Jia looked at the long gift list and converted it into silver money...it was still not converted, and he felt overwhelmed.

The steward left.

Yuan Jia thought that he would have to go to Prince Xia's Mansion in a few days, and felt unhappy again.Because the world is not peaceful, Xia Tingting and First Young Master Xie's marriage is directly decided, and they will be married in half a month.

It's decided that he doesn't have to go, but he will go on the first day.

Seeing Yuan Jia's appearance, Yi Xuefeng explained, "Why should Yuan Shao bother? Not only should Yuan Shao go on the day of the wedding, but also on the day of the wedding, as an older brother, Yuan Shao should also go right now."

brother? !Yuan Jia froze for a moment, his eyes lit up.Fan Haoxuan is Xia Tingting's cousin. Because of being adopted, Xia Tingting has always been called Fan Haoxuan's second brother.He is married to Fan Haoxuan, so Xia Tingting should call him Second Wife... Bah!

Well, the appellation issue aside.In the big scene, Xia Tingting can't be allowed to turn his face, but as far as he is concerned, this little girl Xia Tingting can't hold back, um... Yuan Jia frowned: "Butler Yi's proposal is very good." Damn girl, when the time comes I don't know if I can still trouble King Xia.

Yuan Jia's thinking was broadened by Yi Xuefeng, and he immediately felt relieved.There was still some time in the middle, and the two of them went to Rao City again.

Lu An has already made arrangements for the two nearby islands and several small fishing villages.

In places controlled by pirates, even a small fishing village is extremely hidden, not to mention outsiders, even the locals don't know the way.

Lu An said: "Arrange some people to raise pearls in the fishing village. There are not so many people there, and the pirates can't find them." No new pirates came out for a while.The places around that are suitable for pirate strongholds are all under Yuan Jia's control, and it is impossible for people to come here just to rob a few broken fishing villages in places farther away.

Lu An looked at Yuan Jia with mixed eyes, admiration, awe... After Yuan Jia and Yi Xuefeng left, he lowered his head and squeezed his arm: "It's a little bit stronger than Yuan Shao..." But to fight pirates?No, he hasn't lived enough.
