After a busy day, Jiang Yaojie can skillfully keep accounts and count losses in the notebook. Seeing Jiang Yaojie fiddling with the abacus, Jiang Ling is very relieved.

She felt that her small stall could be completely handed over to Jiang Yaojie in a while.

"Yaojie, don't settle the score, mother has something to tell you!" Jiang Ling stretched out her hand to greet Jiang Yaojie and said,

Jiang Yaojie obediently let go of his abacus, and immediately ran to Jiang Ling's side and asked, "Mother, what's the matter?"

"You and I will go to Yecheng tomorrow." Jiang Ling replied lightly.

"Why go to Yecheng? Why... why did you go there?" Jiang Yaojie looked at Jiang Ling in surprise and asked.

Jiang Yaojie has only heard of the place "Yecheng". It is said that the place is very prosperous, and even the floor tiles of some wealthy families are gilded.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yaojie shook his head again and again, he never dared to imagine anything too luxurious.

"I heard that Congxin's father is going there, so I want to try my luck. I also want to investigate new business opportunities by the way!" Jiang Ling said.

As soon as he heard about "Shen Congxin", Jiang Yaojie immediately recovered his energy. He nodded repeatedly and said to Jiang Ling: "Okay, mother, I will go with you!"

In the afternoon, less than 5 minutes after Jiang Ling got home, the village chief walked in with a piece of paper in his hand.

Jiang Ling quickly poured a glass of water for the village chief and said: "Village chief, I have something to go to Yecheng tomorrow, it may take about half a month! Please take care of Suihe, Nianci and Congxin There is my brother!"

The village chief was a little surprised when he heard the words. Although he was curious about what Jiang Ling was going to do, he didn't have the nerve to speak. He nodded and said to Jiang Ling: "Okay, be careful in everything, Yecheng is not as simple as our village!"

Jiang Ling nodded and smiled, her eyes fell on the rough paper in the village chief's hand. The village chief unfolded the paper knowingly, and saw that there were many people's names written on it, but all of them were ticked off by the village chief. About ten people remained.

Jiang Ling took a careful look at the names of these ten people, all of whom she knew, and they were also honest peasants on weekdays.

"Are these ten chosen by the village chief?" Jiang Ling asked.

The village chief nodded and said: "Mr. Jiang, look at the selection of seven out of these ten people. After the selection, I will let Gou Sheng write it out, and then start to select the land to start construction! You can rest assured that the money will be paid by the village. Affordable!"

Jiang Ling looked at the names above, and finally crossed out the names of the three people according to the population, and said to the village chief at the same time: "These three families are small in number and large in size. Can work carefully!"

After hearing Jiang Ling's explanation, the village head touched his chin in satisfaction to express his agreement.

Then Jiang Ling continued to say to the village chief: "By the way, there is one more thing for the village chief. Taking care of the elderly requires patience. When recruiting workers, you have to make it clear to them. If we find that the elderly are mistreated or abused, we will deduct all of her money." wages, will never be hired!"

After hearing Jiang Ling's words, the village chief looked at her in disbelief, and said hesitantly after a long time: "This... this is not very good, and I think these are all honest and responsible. Does that hurt people's hearts?"

"Village Chief, I think we should speak clearly first, otherwise some people will not be distracted. After all, we know people and face but not heart!" Jiang Ling said to the village chief resolutely.

The village head also felt that Jiang Ling's words made sense, nodded and said, "Okay, then follow your own, I chose this place behind Mrs. Cao's original address, and that piece just happened to be given to us by the Holy One, what do you think?" ?”

"That place is good, it's close to the fields, and it's not too far away! Let's just go there, the village chief will have to worry about the rest, I'll be out for at least half a month!" Jiang Ling replied.

The village chief nodded and chatted with Jiang Ling for a while before turning around and leaving.

Before dawn the next day, Jiang Ling took Jiang Yaojie and sat on the bullock cart to Guangping County. Before leaving, Jiang Ling gave Jiang Zhishan two taels of silver as the half monthly living expenses.

Jiang Ling's heart fluttered along the way, after all, this was her first time traveling far.

The ox cart slowly arrived at the wharf in Guangping County. Jiang Ling took Jiang Yaojie to pay the money and sat on a large-looking boat that looked fairly luxurious.

After a while, the boat left the pier slowly and headed towards Yecheng.

The modern Jiang Ling has hardly ever been on a boat, so seeing this boat is very fresh, and it is very enjoyable to walk around and look around.

But Jiang Yaojie at the side felt a little uncomfortable, his face was a little pale at this moment, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he looked very uncomfortable.

"Yaojie, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Ling asked hastily.

"I... no... um..." Before Jiang Yaojie finished speaking, he covered his mouth and rushed to the deck, leaning on the railing and vomiting continuously.

Jiang Ling knew that the child was seasick, so she bought seasickness medicine from the mall while no one was paying attention, and handed Jiang Yaojie the water mixed with seasickness medicine after Jiang Yaojie calmed down a bit.

After watching Jiang Yaojie gulp down the drink, he felt a little relieved.

Looking at Jiang Yaojie's pale face, Jiang Ling finally came to the shopkeeper, opened a good room, and led Jiang Yaojie into it.

The room that is said to be a good one is actually a simple bedroom built in the bed cabin. The windows inside are small and the ventilation is not very good.

"Mother, I'm causing you trouble!" The price of two taels of silver made Jiang Yaojie a little speechless, but he was full of guilt when he saw his mother take out the money indifferently.

"What are you talking about, silly son? Why are you causing me trouble! As long as you don't get sick or feel uncomfortable, mother will be happy and content!" Jiang Ling gently stroked Jiang Yaojie's head and said softly.

Jiang Ling turned her head to look at the bed and said to Jiang Yaojie: "Yaojie, lie down first, and mother will call you again when it's time for dinner!"

Jiang Yaojie nodded, lying on the bed and closing his eyes to rest his mind.

At dinner, Jiang Ling was worried that Jiang Yaojie's stomach would be uncomfortable, so he ordered a plate of porridge and some small pickles, and he also wanted a plate of fried vegetables and brown rice.

The two spent three days and three nights on the boat leisurely.

Finally, the boat slowly leaned against the pier in Yecheng, and Jiang Ling took Jiang Yaojie off the boat.

Yecheng is indeed much more prosperous than Pingxi County and Guangping County, and there are four or five inns alone.

Jiang Ling took Jiang Yaojie to book two Tianzihao rooms, and then began to inquire about Shen Qianhe.

The mother and son inquired for a whole day, but unfortunately they found nothing about Shen Qianhe.

Jiang Yaojie went back to the inn in frustration, while Jiang Ling wanted to go out for a walk.

A drunken man bumped into Jiang Yaojie suddenly, Jiang Yaojie staggered and almost fell, the man glanced at Jiang Yaojie with some blank eyes and said inarticulately: "I'm sorry".

Casually and staggeringly walked towards the outside of the inn.
