The carriage left the Salt Courtyard and drove across Yiwen Bridge.

The wheels crushed the bluestone slabs in Yangzhou City, making the sound of wheels.

Inside the carriage, Jia Qiang looked at the paper in her hand with a serious expression and frowned.

If it weren't for his pillowing on his plump and soft thighs at this moment, Baozhu was still kneeling on the carpet and pounding his legs with him, when others saw him, they would really think that he was thinking about something important.

Keqing's pretty face was flushed, and his picturesque eyebrows and eyes looked at Jia Qiang, and there was always endless secret feelings...

How could Jia Qiang resist this? He couldn't hold it anymore. He put down the paper and asked, "What's wrong?"

Keqing looked at Jia Qiang and chuckled softly: "Uncle, why did he bring me here too?"

Today, when Jia Qiang went to Phoenix Island, the sisters at home did not bring her. Except for Xiangling and her stubborn girls, she only brought her.

Very surprised...

Jia Qiang raised his eyebrows and said in a gentle voice: "I went south all the way out of Beijing. I secretly observed that you seem to like and yearn for all situations. I think so, I haven't gone out since I was a child. Now that I'm out, don't you like it? Of course, I should take you out more..."

After seeing Jia Qiang for a moment, Zhan Yan laughed "puke". Although the laughter was so beautiful, Jia Qiang still turned a blind eye and asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing him like this, Keqing laughed more and more beautifully, and his head turned slightly, looking at Jia Qiang with a playful intention, "It must be Aunt Lin's mouth!"

Baozhu couldn't help laughing when she heard this, but after seeing Jia Qiang look at it with one eye, she hurriedly said, "I mean Miss Lin is such a great person. There is no better grandma in the world than her!"

Jia Qiang sneered: "You are wrong, this is my own idea!"

The more he did this, the more Keqing confirmed it.

Keqing stretched out his slender hand and gently stroked Jia Qiang's sword eyebrows, and said in a gentle voice: "Uncle, but are you going to set off for Suzhou tomorrow?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, time is still a little tight, and I still have to prepare to go home for the New Year."

Keqing hesitated a little and said, "Xiao Jing stays in Yangzhou?"

Seeing his expression, Jia Qiang knew something was wrong and asked, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Keqing looked at Jia Qiang and said softly: "I like Jiangnan very much and want to stay here to accompany Xiao Jing."

Jia Qiang thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, but because of this?"

Hearing this, Keqing bit his red lip and looked at Jia Qiang and said softly: "Master, I don't like that Duke's Mansion."

Tsk!

After being stunned, Jia Qiang blamed himself and said, "I blamed me for being negligent. You should have said it earlier."

If it were him, I wouldn't like it.

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Then, after you go home, I will place another house for you? No need to be a big one, just waiter, just beside you..."

Keqing shook his head and said, "How can this be made? I have already... I have gained a lot of favoritism, but I don't know how to be good or bad? There is no need to be like this. It is also because of my favor and Aunt Lin's generous and generous manner that I dared to have this thought. When Xiao Jing gave birth to a child, she would go home together. Although there are many bad memories there, it is my home now, and it is my home. Don't spoil me."

In a separate small family, she was indeed moved, but she suppressed her feelings.

She is a man in the inner house and understands women's minds the best.

Daiyu's heart is as sweet as red gold, but she will never want to see her live in another house. This is a taboo, how dare she do it.

As a human being, you should know your duty.

After a pause, Keqing looked at Jia Qiang and smiled softly, "It just so happened that Xiao Jing is here too. I can't stay here and wait for her to give birth. I don't have a family member around me, so I'm a little thin after all. I shouldn't have this idea, but I really like the scenery in Jiangnan too much."

Jia Qiang looked at her and smiled, "How much do you like it? It's more than I like it?"

There was a pearl here, and when Keqing heard this, he was immediately embarrassed and said angrily: "Uncle!"

Baozhu was also blushing on the side, but she was really happy for Keqing.

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Jing is really not at ease if you are here."

He never wanted to lock the family of women in that radius of hundreds of steps, and everyone was stunned.

Since Keqing is willing to stay in Yangzhou for a few more months, he is not dissatisfied with it.

After returning to Beijing this time, I have to celebrate the New Year first and have to pay attention to the marriage, and then the wedding of him and Daiyu and Yin Ziyu...

Keqing was not very interested in staying at home. It would be better to stay here for a while and accompany Li Jing.

Keqing was overjoyed when he heard this, and looked at Jia Qiang and smiled, "Thank you, my grandfather!"

Jia Qiang raised his eyebrows and said, "That's it?"

Under the intention of this, Keqing's pretty face turned red. Fortunately, Baozhu was sensible and turned his back, and even his neck was dyed red. Keqing leaned down gently under Jia Qiang's hot gaze...

...

Phoenix Island.

Just one year later, Phoenix Island is completely different from the time it was.

According to the drawings left by Jia Qiang, today's Phoenix Island has a faint shadow of the assembly line factory in his previous life.

A reasonable layout is conducive to improving efficiency, and is convenient for management and safety.

Because someone came to inform the arrangement in advance and there were internal relatives coming, after the carriage arrived, Li Jing took a few girls and welcomed Keqing, Baoqin, Xiangling and others to the living area behind, and also cleared the idle people.

Standing on Phoenix Wharf, Li Fu became older. He was seriously injured when he was on the world of ward. He had been on the sickbed for several years, and had already ruined his body.

It is a miracle that you can still stand up and walk.

But looking at it, it is difficult to hold on for too long. It is so haggard and old...

Jia Qiang met with his son and nephew, so that Li Fu, who had always been holding on to his identity, would not make people say that he was selling his daughter for honor, actually smiled and said three times "Okay".

But thinking about it is true. Not to mention being a concubine, Li Jing would never have such an opportunity even if she married another family as a wife. What else would he not be satisfied with?

But Li Fu still didn't say much to this son-in-law, and he didn't dare to say it, for fear of being timid...

Fortunately, Aunt Sun was a talkative person. She looked at Jia Qiang and said with a smile: "I saw Xiao Jing's belly. Thanks to the Marquis' good care, I still thought about letting her come to Yangzhou to have a child. It's so thoughtful."

Jia Qiang looked at Li Fu and said to Aunt Sun, "Xiao Jing is still worried about your two elders, so she wants to come here to give birth to her so that she can bring some joy to her. Now that she is here, is she still used to it?"

Aunt Sun hurriedly said, "How can you not get used to it? You can also find something to do every day, and you are not bored. Get up early in the morning and walk around the island, which is very useful."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "That's good."

Li Fu said "hmm" and said, "Just be busy with serious things, don't pay attention to us."

Jia Qiang nodded and looked at Xue Ming and Xue Er Master beside him.

Xue Ming's body...ah.

Although it is stronger than Li Fu, it is also limited.

He has phlegm syndrome, which means there is inflammation in his lungs. Although he used the chrysanthemum beef braised from Tianning Temple, he saved his life.

But Chen mustard green braised greens is still a long way from penicillin, so Xue Ming has never been able to recover.

If it weren't for the pile of famous doctors and precious medicinal materials in various places, it would be difficult for Li Fu or Xue Ming to survive until now.

"Uncle Xue Er, take care of your health. Xue Ke and Baoqin are both very good, don't worry."

Jia Qiang advised with kind words.

Xue Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, this year is much better than in previous years. Xue Ke and Baoqin are taken care of by Lao Ninghou, which makes you worry."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Xue Ke has now helped me look at the guild hall and has become a general in the field. I asked him if he wanted to study and get a fame or fight in the army for a few years? He didn't expect that he wanted to follow the economic and business path. It's good that he would have to take on the great responsibility for another two years."

Xue Ming was very grateful and said, "If there were no Ning Hou, even if the Xue family did not perish, they would have been defeated for a long time. Such great kindness..."

Jia Qiang smiled and waved his hand, "Uncle Xue Er, you, your father and son do things for me, and I should thank you, and I should thank you. Well, I am not an outsider, so I won't say much politely. Uncle Xue Er is also going to rest, and I will go to see you for details. Baoqin is here with me this time, and I will try to let Xue Ke come back together next time."

Xue Ming laughed and said a few more words, and was supported by the servant.

Li Fu and Aunt Sun also left.

After the old man left, Zhao Bo'an and Wang Shouzhong stepped forward.

These two people were originally the heirs of two of the eight major fabric shops that were fiercely competitive. Now their families are broken and their families are dead, gathering here to seek survival.

Zhao Boan became more and more taciturn. When he saw Jia Qiang, he only met with his disciples and did not say much.

Wang Shouzhong lost a lot of weight, but his spirit was no longer so decadent. He looked at Jia Qiang and said curiously: "Marty, the Delin Yunjin is almost selling gold in Beijing, and it is also limited in Jiangnan, but I saw a huge backlog in the warehouse. Why is this?"

Wang Shouzhong showed his search in cloth dyeing skills, but he was quite talented in marketing.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been entrusted to take charge of the Hang Seng number at his age.

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "These cloud brocades are priced at Dayan, and the price is better than gold. If you are sent overseas, the price will be better than gold. Meng Jian, wait first, when you show your skills. With our brothers' ability, it is too simple to make money in Dayan. You need power, power, power, prescriptions, and printing and dyeing geniuses like Bo'an. How can the eight cloth shops beat us? It's boring.

If you want to do it, you have to do it with difficulty. Except for the large number of countries in the East and West, there are many people who are willing to buy our Yunjin. Isn’t it more satisfying to sell it to them and earn gold and silver?"

Wang Shouzhong looked at Jia Qiang and smiled and said, "You can still be so fascinating, let's do it! I've stayed enough in Dayan. If I could go out to meet the barbarians in the barbarian land, wrap them in cloud brocade and beaked in monkeys, it would be a joy. Marquis, have two cups together at noon?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "I'm afraid there's no chance this time. In a while, the old master of the Qi family, the Chen family, the Li family, and the Peng family will go to the shipyard with me to check it out. After spending so much money, I always have to see what's going on."

The ship workshop is located in Yangzhou. First, Yangzhou is the current estuary of the Yangtze River. The ships passing through the canal can go directly from the Jiangnan Canal to Hangzhou, westward to the river to Hunan and Hubei, or northward along the Huainan Canal to Luoyang and Chang'an, with water and land transportation. Second, Yangzhou is Yangzhou, which is a family-owned Yangzhou, so there is no need to worry about the destruction of the Caogang.

Over the past year, the Delin and Qi family spent a lot of money to buy Western ship drawings that could cross the ocean from the south, invited boatmen, and cut down huge trees in the deep mountains and forests to build large ships.

It’s easier to cut down giant trees, but it’s just a little more expensive, but it’s nothing.

It is difficult to ask an experienced boatman...

In order to solve this problem, Xu Zhen and Xu Zhongluan went to Haojing in person, and even colluded with the powerful and wealthy Portugalia and spent a lot of money to buy people, so they almost didn't have a kidnap.

The young widow of Portugalia who had been sleeping for half a month finally got back three experienced boat repairmen.

In addition, the shipbuilding masters invited by the Jia family and Qi family in coastal provinces have been around for half a year now. I wonder if a four-masted ship has been built!
