The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

Jia Amnesty: "..."

He turned his head slowly and stared at Jia Lian with horror on his face.What does it mean to stay longer, and how long does this 'time' refer to?

After a few more days, it will be winter, and the river will freeze and it is not suitable for boats.Could it be that their father and son will stay here for the New Year! ?That is a whole winter, absolutely not!

Lin Ruhai was startled at first, and then turned to surprise, "Okay, okay, I wish for it. But I don't know how long you plan to stay? Naturally, I hope the longer the better."

Originally, Jia Amnesty was gritting his teeth and wanted to stay for ten days and go back before the river froze, but Jia Lian took the lead again.

"Come back after the spring of the new year." After Jia Lian finished speaking, he deliberately looked at Jia Amnesty, explaining clearly, "The old ancestor also meant the same thing."

Jia Amnesty's face went numb in an instant, and he was completely speechless.

"That's great, that's great!" Lin Ruhai exclaimed twice in succession in surprise, and excitedly said to Jia She, "The doctor also said that her illness is three-thirds dependent on treatment and seven-point maintenance, and her state of mind is the most important thing. I hate it. She doesn't want to talk too much if she doesn't want to open her mind. The eldest brother is from her mother's family, if he can spend a few more days with her to relieve him, it will definitely be useful. Maybe this winter will pass, and the illness will be relieved."

Jia Amnesty opened his mouth, realizing that the situation was irreversible, he smiled politely and nodded, perfunctory Lin Ruhai.

Jia Lian laughed, and said politely to Lin Ruhai: "Uncle is very kind. Father not only can persuade people, but also has a lot of good stories. My aunt is bored in the house all day long, so there are stories about my father to relieve boredom." He must be happy. When this person is happy, he will talk a lot, and he will naturally open up his heart when chatting."

Lin Ruhai nodded in agreement, and cast an approving look at Jia Lian, "What a good boy, brother, you have a good son, which makes people envious."

"Just him? If you don't piss me off, I'll be content!" Jia She smiled politely at Lin Ruhai, then glared at Jia Lian angrily.Brat, let him tell stories again, what do you think of him!

"Brother is too humble. If you have a son, what can you ask for?" Lin Ruhai liked Jia Lian more and more.

……

As soon as Lin Ruhai left, Jia She immediately yelled at Jia Lian angrily: "Who told you to make up your own mind! I'll spare you the storytelling for now, why didn't you tell me about staying here for the New Year? I can accompany you After working on a boat for a month, you have a lot of opportunities to talk about it!"

"Forgot." Jia Lian replied to Jia Amnesty calmly.

"You—" Jia She took a deep breath, feeling the hatred in his heart.This kid clearly did it on purpose. He must have expected that if he had known earlier, he would find a way to stop him, so he didn't say anything.How could I be so unlucky to have such a black-hearted, bad son!

But after all, this matter was approved by Jia's mother, and now Jia She is angry and can't vent it.He was so upset and irritable that he waved Jia Lian away.

Jia Lian smiled relaxedly, and after saying goodbye to Jia Amnesty, she changed into a new set of clothes and went out.Before he came to Yangzhou, he had collected a lot of relevant information and studied it on board for a month.Now that I have arrived at the place, I naturally have to see the true face of Yangzhou City in person.

Now that Jia Lian has learned how to ride a horse, he first went around the Yangzhou Ferry to take a look at the whole ferry.

As the junction of the canal and the Yangtze River, Yangzhou has very convenient transportation conditions.As expected, this place is the intersection point of material transportation between the north and the south, and it is very prosperous.

Jia Lian then went to several prosperous commercial streets in Yangzhou City. The trade here was even more prosperous than the capital city, and there were many foreigners. Jia Lian even saw two foreigners on the street.

Jia Lian hurriedly got off his horse and greeted them in English.

The two foreigners looked at Jia Lian with very surprised and pleasant eyes. They were very surprised that there were local people who could understand their language. They were very, very happy and chatted enthusiastically with Jia Lian.

Knowing that the two foreigners, one named Paul and the other named Jack, were traders from the Netherlands, Jia Lian was very happy.After politely inquiring about their addresses, Jia Lian reported his identity to them, expressing his expectation to cooperate with them.

Paul and Jack were very happy to hear that Jia Lian was a nobleman in China, and they also expressed that they would be very happy to do business with Jia Lian if he wanted to.After all, compared with ordinary traders, doing business with Chinese nobles will make them feel more secure and safe.

After Jia Lian parted ways with the two foreigners, he walked around until dusk before returning to Lin's residence.He also casually bought some trinkets on the street, such as cloth tiger, Kong Mingsuo and Luban ball, etc., and prepared to give them to Daiyu to play with when he went back.

When he was in Rongfu, he was used to seeing Baoyu being doted on by Jia Mu and others in every possible way. Now seeing Daiyu in such a sad state, he felt a little distressed.

Feng'er followed Lian's second master's instructions, and reported back after delivering the things to Miss Lin: "Ms. Lin laughed immediately when she heard that it was from the second master. money."

"Ah."

Jia Lian couldn't take his eyes off the book, and at this moment Lin Ruhai sent a message to invite Jia Lian and Jia She to have dinner at his place, which was regarded as a welcome.

Because Jia Min was ill, the three of them didn't drink any alcohol, so they had a brief chat after dinner and then dispersed.

Before Jia Lian left, he asked Lin Ruhai for a favor.As soon as Lin Ruhai heard that Jia Lian wanted to read the county chronicles near Yangzhou City, he immediately agreed and sent someone to bring them to him the next day.

After breakfast, when Jia Lian heard that Jia Min was awake, he urged Jia Amnesty to visit him together.

Lin Ruhai had already mentioned to Jia Min last night that Jia She and his son planned to stay for a long time.Jia Min is so smart, I don't believe that Jia She's temperament is willing to stay here for a long time.So after careful questioning, Jia Min guessed that it was because of his nephew Jia Lian.

In fact, from Jia Amnesty's attitude towards Jia Lian yesterday, and Jia Mu's attitude towards Jia Lian from their mouths, Jia Min knew that his nephew was a great person.Now she loves and appreciates this nephew even more.

"Brother, I heard from my husband yesterday that you go to tell the old lady a story every day?" Jia Min is very energetic today, looking at Jia She with bright eyes.

Jia She nodded, with a helpless expression on his face: "At first, it was agreed to only tell one story. Who knew that the old man was addicted to listening, so she asked me to go if she had nothing to do. But I can't say every day, every three or two days a story."

Jia Min thought it was funny, covered her mouth and smiled, then turned to look at Jia Lian, feeling that this was Jia Lian's idea.

Jia Lian stood there silently with a calm expression.

"Mother, uncle, Lian's second brother, peace!" After Daiyu entered the door, she greeted everyone politely.

Seeing that she was holding something in her hand, Jia Min asked with a smile.

"The second brother gave it to me yesterday." Daiyu handed the Luban lock to Jia Min.

Jia Min laughed and complained to herself: "It's all my fault that I'm sick. The whole family is so busy taking care of me that they forgot about your side. It's supposed to be old enough to play, but because..."

When Jia Lian saw Jia Min talking about it, he was about to cry with tears in his eyes, so he gave Jia amnesty with a wink.

Jia She glared at his son, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

Jia Lian chuckled, and said to Jia She: "Father, you have so many stories in your stomach, why don't you choose an interesting one to tell your aunt?"

Jia Min has been curious about Jia She's story for a long time, and she was distracted instantly, tears did not shed, "It's business, I also like to listen to stories like my mother. If you want to tell me a story, I'm so curious." Woolen cloth!"

Originally, Jia Amnesty was impatient to tell stories, but it was obvious that her sister was sick and about to cry on the couch, so she couldn't help feeling sour.He had no reason to reject a sick relative, and said helplessly, "I'd rather tell, but the memory is bad, and there are many stories that cannot be told in detail and are not interesting."

Jia Lian smiled, as if she had expected Jia Amnesty to have this, and directly blocked his excuse, "Father, don't worry, my son ordered someone to bring those scripts."

After Jia Lian finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and Feng'er came in with a stack of scriptures.

Jia Amnesty was stunned.

Jia Lian picked out a book at random, "Just this one, "The Concubine's Spring".

Even if a concubine knows how to strive for the top, the two noble concubine daughters Jia Min and Daiyu may be more enlightened after hearing this.

"Okay... okay." Jia Amnesty scolded Jia Lian eight hundred times in his heart, but still picked up the book and began to talk to Jia Min.

Seeing their father and son like this, Jia Min bowed his head embarrassedly and snickered.

Before Jia Lian left, she told Daiyu, "Your sister, listen to it too. It would be nice if you can draw conclusions from other people's stories."

……

Yangzhou has a good climate and a good planting environment, and because of the convenient transportation, it can be transported and exported without considering the saturation of the local market, so it is very suitable for vigorously developing land resources.

Considering that the imperial court plans to go to war in the northwest next year, food, medicinal materials and cotton must be urgently needed, and prices will definitely rise.Jia Lian also considered his own financial ability, and it was impossible to choose all three, but he could only choose the best one.At present, there is no large-scale planting of medicinal materials in the market, but everyone will get sick, the demand is fixed, there is a lot of room for profit, and the medicinal materials can be stored and transported after drying, so Jia Lian decided to choose medicinal materials. I was walking around the outskirts of Yangzhou to find out who was selling land, and I happened to meet a landlord who was selling a village with land in the mountains.

A total of nearly [-] acres, the mountain is a gift.The price of land is very cheap. Generally, one mu of good land usually costs seven or eight taels of silver, but the land here only costs three taels per mu.The land seller said that the harvest was not good this year, and he wanted to add a dowry to his daughter, so he sold it urgently.

Jia Lian simply bought Zhuangzi and traded it on the spot.

The next day, Xing'er reported to Jia Lian in a hurry: "Second Master, we have been cheated! That piece of land is a famous bad field nearby, and we don't reap anything. I also inquired, and the person who sold our land didn't have any Daughter, he is...he is a servant of the Xue family!"
