Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 317
In the flower hall, listening to the fourth daughter talking about her son, Zeng Daguan felt awkward.

After all, he is a protective character. If he only scolded his two sons, it would be limited. Now that his daughter brought her son-in-law to scold him, and what they said was reasonable, he couldn't get out of his anger. The more he saw the two embarrassing himself, son more angry.

His hands trembled and he felt heavy while holding the teacup. Mr. Zeng slapped the cup back on the table, got up and kicked Zeng Suo.

Although the old man was old, he didn't lose much of his physical strength, Zeng Suo who kicked this kick let out an ouch, and looked at his father in surprise, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Zengtou city has lost all face! Did you tell you that you couldn't do some things at the beginning? You just look at how extravagantly you cover it up, and you don't know how much you have suffered and how many calculations you have made behind your back? "

He glanced at Zeng Tu, who was blocking the third brother, "You are also worthless. Before and after doing things, don't think about your third brother's stupidity, and you are as stupid as him!"

"Get out, and hand over all the things you are doing to Shi Wengong first, and I will argue with you after I think things over."

Just as Sun Xin settled Zeng Saihua, he came out to ask the farmer to fetch water for washing, and Grand Officer Zeng followed him.

Sun Xin quickly put down what he was doing, and asked his farmer to bring tea and water to Zeng Tu's father-in-law.

Daguan Zeng shook his head and pointed to the room.

The two entered the room and sat down. Zeng Saihua glanced at her father in fear, and saw Sun Xin nodding behind him. Only then did she know that Mr. Zeng didn't come to scold her, and she was relieved.

Although Diamond had the guts to scold the eldest brother and third brother just now, Zeng Saihua knew that her father had a bad temper. The children of the family who were beaten out since childhood, even the girls were afraid of Daguan Zeng.

Mr. Zeng sat in the room, took a deep breath, forced a smile on his face, looked at Sun Xin and Zeng Saihua.

"I haven't seen you for a while, and my stomach is showing. Have you been feeling unwell recently?"

"Mother-in-law Duolao is concerned. The tonic you sent to Sunjiazhuang from Zengtou City has been given to Fourth Sister. She has been sleeping much better for a while."

Senior officer Zeng nodded, took a sip of the tea brought by the farmer, and said: "Just now Shi Wengong just happened to catch up with you when he brought you into the flower hall. He only knew that Zeng Tu and Zeng Suo were having a temper tantrum, but he didn't know that we were in the flower hall. Noisy, he took you in, there is no other meaning."

"I heard from Zhuang Kebao that you are here, and I also want you to reprimand Zeng Tu and Zeng Suo in person, to let them know how difficult things are for you, and to let them have a long and ineffective memory."

Sun Xin knew that if Senior Official Zeng hadn't seen the power of his own Sun Family Village, he would never have been able to make up for it.

He nodded again and again: "I naturally understand the owner's kindness."

Zeng Saihua on the side had some opinions on this family. Hearing that her father had regressed, she couldn't help but said: "This thing happened today is because our family really underestimated the achievements of the Sun Family Village on weekdays. If we can let them know more about how much Sun Xin has suffered in doing things, they will not think so easily. Everything in the world is so easy."

Hearing Zeng Saihua's unreasonable and unforgiving words, Sun Xin felt something was wrong in his heart, and quickly looked at Mr. Zeng, only to see that Mr. Zeng let out a long sigh although he felt uncomfortable.

"It's also my fault for being a father."

Sun Xin didn't expect Senior Official Zeng to say these words. He looked at him quietly, and saw the old man's face was sad. Only then did he know that letting him go to Sunjiazhuang last time really shocked the old man. Face has never dared to tell his family about this shock. With the character of Zeng Daguan, he seemed to say that he saw the benefits of Sunjiazhuang, which was to admit that he was not as good as Sun Xin, and a strong man could not accept this softness.

"Let's not talk about other things," Zeng Daguan cleared his throat, and immediately changed the topic: "I recently heard that Liangshan is preparing for military preparations, and it seems that there will be another big move."

Senior Officer Zeng was also very concerned about Liangshan's situation, and expressed his own analysis: "It's still the end of spring and they won't send troops at this time, but I'm afraid it won't be so this autumn. There haven't been too many bandits in Dongshan Prefecture in the past two years. The people in the village can feel more comfortable, the land is intensively cultivated, and in autumn, the food in the three eastern prefectures is ripe, and when the horses and horses are fattened on Liangshan Mountain, it is the time for these bandits to go down the mountain."

Sun Xin nodded. The news that Liang Shan will go down the mountain to plunder this autumn, he also found out from many sources that it is still half a year before they go down the mountain.

Liangshan is preparing, and their Sunjiazhuang must also get ready quickly.

This time when Liangshan goes down the mountain, he will inevitably experience a big battle, and it is no longer like last year's Dulonggang that he can deploy troops for defense in advance, but must prepare in advance, and more importantly, if he can win this battle, his own Sun Jiazhuang will also take advantage of the situation to really make a name for himself in the Third East Mansion, and there is no way to hide his strength anymore.

Once his strength is revealed, he will attract more attention if he wants to expand, so the top priority is to train and prepare well, and the second is to try his best to expand his territory before he reveals all his strength.

At night, Sun Xin and Zeng Saihua were sleeping in the room, and Sun Xin listened to Zeng Saihua's thumping and turning over. After waiting for a long time, the woman next to her was still asleep. Sun Xin got up and asked Zeng Saihua, "Does your stomach hurt when you sleep no?"

Zeng Saihua shook her head. Seeing her eyes wide open, Sun Xin knew that this woman must have something on her mind, so he simply took the quilt from the side of the bed and put it on her back, helping Zeng Saihua to sit up.

"Since I went back to Sunjiazhuang, I watched you do things every day, and gradually I have a question in my heart. I want to ask it no matter what?"

"What question?"

"You said that you have all these fields, why do you have to make such a fuss? What kind of supervisory committee, the protection army, in the eyes of outsiders, you have great power and enjoy it, but I know that you are very frugal in your daily expenses. Not to mention that the Supervisory Committee now has a population of several 10, even if you are in charge of a Sun Family Village, with your ability, the soil will grow out like gold, and you will spend your whole life without worrying about it, so why do you still do so many things?"

"Back then you were doing business in Jinzhou, and you lived a relaxed life. Why did you come to my Sun Family Manor to be a concubine for me when you got dizzy, and you still got into trouble with your sisters every day?"

"Who is making trouble? This is different. At the beginning, I was looking at your extravagant character, and I liked it in my heart, and my head got hot for a while... How can the things between men and women be so clear? But you are in business, and it is different. .”

"If I hadn't created such a large foundation, but just bought a small farm on the Dengzhou land, and became an honest and rich landlord, do you still think I'm extravagant?"

Zeng Saihua blinked her eyes and thought about it, "Yes."

"Try it, if I don't have such a heart, how can I trick you into it?"

Zeng Saihua blushed, looked at Sun Xin with water in his eyes, and slowly slid down from the quilt he was sleeping on.

"It's been four months. Sanniang said that when she was four months pregnant, you and her were just as happy. If you say yes, you won't be afraid..."

"Hey...what are you doing? My good fourth sister, please slow down...don't press my stomach..."

The cattle breeding work vigorously carried out by the Supervisory Committee is proceeding in an orderly manner. All the fertile cattle under the Supervisory Committee and the cattle of some rich families in Dengzhou who are affected by the Supervisory Committee and can be mobilized are organized by agricultural students. The archives were established, and under the guidance of the old cowherd, they began to crossbreed according to the scientific breeding method, hoping to get calves with high-quality traits in the coming year.

When Sun Xin returned to Sunjiazhuang, he went to Mengkang's shipyard.

Although the Supervisory Committee now has twelve medium-sized ships, it is far from enough for Sun Xin.

Mengkang started looking for shipwrights in Denglai two places last year, and even went south by boat. He dug out many boatmen from Hangzhou who belonged to the imperial court. Like blacksmiths, many shipbuilders these days are attached to the official camps under the imperial court. The factory can't even eat enough food, and it's a pity that Tang Long, the blacksmith who used to eat public meals, can travel around the world with an iron load, but the work of building ships has left several large ports and yamen workshops. If they can't get it, they are often restricted by the court and squeezed. Whenever there is a chance to escape, these craftsmen will be willing to fight.

So Meng Kang, with the support of Sun Xin, waved his banknotes and went to Hangzhou, and directly hired a dozen craftsmen who were good at building seagoing ships for the shipyard.

After an expansion last year, the shipyard was able to build four ships at the same time. At this time, all the four shipyards were lined with ships under construction, and the shipyard was full of excitement.

Sun Xin walked around the factory and paid close attention to the sea-going ships with gun emplacements. After finding that the shipbuilding was well arranged, he went to Dengzhou City with peace of mind.

When we arrived at Sun Li's house, Sun Li was not at home, but his sister-in-law, Mrs. Le, was growing vegetables with some servants in the courtyard.

"Brother is not here."

"I went to the teaching ground to observe the army, but he left a letter saying that your work has been done."

Mrs. Le asked the servant woman to take out a note, and Sun Xin took a look and was instantly happy.Sun Li had already settled the matter.

He smiled and said: "Then ask sister-in-law to bring a message. Let brother set a time, and I will get together with Lord Zong."

Mrs. Le nodded and said, "Your brother also means the same thing."

After leaving Sun Li's house, Sun Xin asked the farmer to make an expensive gift and sent it to Sun Li's house, annoying Sun Li that he would send it to Zong Ze first.

Zong Ze's relationship was run by Sun Li, and he didn't bother the two masters. Of course, Sun Li had to handle the matter of giving gifts and entertaining guests.

After returning to Shili Pai and waiting for two days, Sun Xin finally got Sun Li's approval letter. The dinner was scheduled for the next night, and Sun Xin went to Zong Ze's house with good wine.

Zong Ze was talking and laughing with Sun Li when he entered the door.Although they avoided seeing him for more than a year, when Zong Ze and Sun Xin met again, they smiled at him heartily, and their expressions were full of admiration for promising juniors.

He beckoned Sun Xin to sit down and have a drink together.
