Chapter 723 Making money is fun
My elder brother has arrived at Suzhou, the capital of Jiangnan Road, and has sent personnel to the Ryukyu Island to check the lives of the local people and conduct demographic statistics. In addition, there are also many people in the Penghu area. With the help of local people, the personnel sent by my elder brother have already started to test the port feasibility of the port at the southern end of Liuqiu Island. According to my conclusion at that time, at least on the near mainland side of Liuqiu Island, in the north and south, each built a port to enable Liuqiu Island to truly form a transit station and strategic outpost connecting the north and south.
In addition, my elder brother said in his letter that all prefectures and counties in Jiangnan Road have implemented the operation method of purchasing official fields to use experimental fields. The first batch of rice seeds transported from Linyi has arrived in Wenzhou and Quanzhou. The remaining 450,000 stones will be transported to various coastal ports in Jiangnan Road this year and next two years to prepare for the development of Jiangnan Road in the Tang Dynasty and increase grain crop yields.
I sat on the couch and sipped tea, thinking about major issues. At this time, Wan'er walked to me and whispered: "Young Master, Brother Fang Cheng and Brother Bo have arrived."
"Oh, let them come up directly, Green Butterfly, take a jar of Yixiangzui and let them deliver some vegetables. I have to chat with these two loyal servants well in a while." I turned around and smiled at Green Butterfly who was leaning against her side, who was weak in resting.
"June Lang, why are you drinking again in broad daylight? When my second sister went out just now, you promised that you will not drink wine today." Green Butterfly yawned cutely and gave me a charming look. "Good Die'er. I said it, but I said it to be as if there is no official business. Today I will never drink wine today. But now I am for official business. Well, Good Die'er. Don't get angry. Just like this. Drink grapes for your husband. Let those two wine baskets drink the fragrance of the wine? "I squeezed Green Butterfly's face that was so hot that it was burned, and smiled gently.
"No, I'm here to accompany you." Green Butterfly is very stubborn, but I'm more authoritative than her. "Don't do this. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the child in your belly. If you don't have a good rest during this period, can you give birth to a good baby for your husband?"
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Green Butterfly's face suddenly turned red, and she buried her head in my arms with shame: "Junlang, what are you talking nonsense? I have only felt tired in the past few days. I have no reaction to other things. You are talking nonsense. Then my sisters will hear it, and I will be laughed at to death."
"You, your face is so tender. Oh. Stop, don't scratch your husband. Don't worry. My husband is sewing thread on my mouth. I'm a few kids. I've experienced this a lot. Of course I can see some of them. Hahaha. Don't worry. If Kui Shui doesn't come in a few days, I'll ask Doctor Sun for you to take a look. Baoding is my little green butterfly wants to have a baby."
"Cough cough cough..." There were waves of hypocritical coughing sounds near the entrance of the stairs. I let go of my hand and hugged Green Butterfly, letting the beautiful girl escape my control, and calmed her face and shouted towards the entrance of the stairs: "What's the matter? Bornaljin. Fang Cheng. You two can't come up?"
"Here you come." Fang Cheng and Bonakin's expressions were a little strange. They seemed to be gossiping the whispers of this young master and his wife. They glared and slapped the two loyal servants with a fierce look. "Sit down. How about it? There is nothing wrong during this period, how are you all busy?"
"I have been doing dry milk for a while, but the milk production is still too small. I can't do much." Bornarjin looked regretful. I nodded slightly: "It doesn't matter, I'll just do it slowly anyway. When we have more cows in our family, the milk production will naturally rise. At that time, we will set up the workshop to start work."
Dried milk is cheese, a high-end nutritional supplement that nomadic peoples eat the most. The nutrition of cheese is very rich. I am going to let Bonnell Jin test produce in large quantities. If feasible, my children will become the first beneficiaries. Of course, I am also going to sell this thing for money. Although I have a lot of money, I don’t mind adding a few zeros to my property. This is a pleasure, not a goal.
Fang Cheng was also busy with Bonnarjin during this period. The relationship between these two loyal servants was very harmonious, which made me very satisfied. The least I would like to see was internal friction. Whether it was between the wife, my subordinates, or my children, once such signs appeared, I would suppress and educate them mercilessly. In short, I do not oppose healthy competition, but I firmly oppose vicious competition.
At this time, the dishes had been delivered and the wine jar was placed on the table. I signaled to the two loyal servants: "Come on, come and gather some, come and have a chat as soon as you go. Yesterday, I personally cooked the floor and made the frozen ground, and you have a good taste."
"Skin-frozen?" Fang Cheng widened his eyes at the translucent block. He was very curious and subconsciously poked the chopsticks.
I raised my eyebrows proudly: "Yes, this thing is made of pig skin. Why? Have you never seen it? I tell you that this thing tastes fresh and beautiful, and it can also nourish the skin. Try it. If you don't want to eat it like this, you can also learn from me to dip it in water and eat it."
The day before yesterday, I was off for the New Year. I didn’t go to work and rested at home. But the wives at home all do their own things. I was just wandering around the yard. When I was extremely bored, I went to the kitchen for a walk. I thought of such a delicacy. I quickly sent someone to buy several kilograms of pig skin. After shaving the hair, I added some yam, put some ginger, green onion, and salt, boiled it all morning, and then put it in the snow for an afternoon. During dinner, the whole family had a lot of fun.
"Cooked with skin? Well, it's so refreshing." Fang Cheng ate and claimed it was good.
The two of them were drinking white wine, and I took grape wine to accompany me, sipped the wine, and took chopsticks and side dishes. After several rounds of wine, I cleared my throat and started to talk about the serious matter: "Have you heard of anything? This time, my righteous army of the Tang Dynasty will fight against Baekje and Japan this year, and I will also go out with the army."
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Of course I heard that, I told my brother when you left the palace yesterday." Fang Chengzi sipped his wine, slammed his mouth beautifully, and continued to eat voraciously. Anyway, they would not be restrained at all in front of me. Originally, eating with people was just a bit of a gift, and it would be better to squat at home and eat alone.
So I never politely be with Uncle Li, eating as much as I should and drinking as I should. However, this also makes Uncle Li feel very accomplished when dining with me. It is not like eating with other people at the same table, and tremblingly standing in front of him, even holding a cup, I have to look at Uncle Li's eyes. This way of eating is meaningless.
"Well, I almost forgot, but I still forgot to tell you something. This time I go to the expedition is no better than before. I will go to the expedition with the navy, instead of commanding the infantry and cavalry in the past." I smiled and patted my thighs.
Bornarjin couldn't help but tremble: "Do you mean you want to take a sea boat?"
"That's right, you two are not very adaptable to the life of a sea boat. I know very well, so I want to ask you two, would you like to go with me when you go on the battle this time?" I don't like to force people, especially forced Fang Cheng, and Bonnarjin can only be regarded as a way to take care of him. After all, Fang Cheng has a very deep relationship with me, and I don't want this loyal servant to work with negative emotions.
Although Fang Cheng and Bonnarjin looked as if they were dead, they still expressed their firmness towards their responsibilities and obligations in their tone. "No matter what, they must follow the young master and not leave without a single step." Fang Cheng looked at death very well. Although this strong and sturdy loyal servant was not adapted to life on the boat, as my personal soldier leader, he made the most favorable choice. At least although Bonnarjin, the Turkic rapper, had been quarreling for most of the day, he still decided to follow me with Fang Cheng to the death.
"Since that's the case, I'll be much more relieved. You two are my right-hand men. In this naval battle, I will command the naval gunboats. It's better to fight with swords and swords as usual, relying on long-range strikes, so there's no need to worry too much about safety. At that time, I hope you two can adapt to life at sea as soon as possible and make achievements. After this battle, I'll recommend you to study in the military academy. With the accumulated military achievements, it's not impossible to be a school official after graduating from the academy." I said my final purpose.
Fang Cheng is real, but he is absolutely brave in combat. He can be regarded as a talented man. Bornarjin is also excellent. Such a talent is definitely a waste to work with me for the rest of his life.
"No, the young man is unwilling to go, the young man is willing to accompany the young master for the rest of his life." Fang Cheng changed his face and quickly refused. Bonalljin next to him also swears that he was a member of the Fang family and a ghost of the Fang family. He would not leave the Fang Mansion if he was beaten to death.
The persuasion was fruitless after many times. The two of them were like turtles eating weights. I was so dry that I was unshakable that I could not waver. I had to give up angrily. The two guys didn't know the good people's hearts.
