I want to do research even if I have no money

Concubine Jian originally wanted to say something, but when she saw Situ Meng kneeling, she forgot what she wanted to say, and couldn't help but stepped forward to pull him up, "Look at you kneeling so fast, did you hurt your knee? Does it hurt? "

Situ Meng's mind was blank now, he even forgot the pain in his knee, and he was in a daze.

Jing Shen was anxious for Situ Meng, "Mother, why did you scare him like this! Amon, are you okay? Did you get hurt? Let me see..."

"No...no need!" How dare Situ Meng argue with Jing Shen now?He pushed away the depth of field without any trace, "I...Cao Min is fine."

Concubine Jian sighed, "Mother doesn't say anything about you, there are eyes everywhere here, you should be careful... Shen'er, help him to apply the medicine, he must have knocked when he heard the sound just now, where are you?" There are medicines from Imperial Physician Jiang."

Depth of Field let out a "hmm", helped Situ Meng to walk a few steps, and suddenly said, "Thank you."

Concubine Jian turned around in silence and left. She didn't leave the yard, but stood under the ginkgo tree and looked up at the moon above her head.Mengmeng came running from nowhere, rubbing against Concubine Jian's skirt, Concubine Jian hugged the puppy, looked at the puppy's face, and after a while, smiled softly.

It wasn't until the southern tour team left that Situ Meng knew that this was the last stop of the southern tour. Jing Shen somehow managed to make the emperor change the original route, stay in Chengning Villa, and put all the things that Situ Meng had been thinking about all these years. finished.

Because the sea caravan of Chengning Villa has become a royal caravan in the future, the ships, personnel, supplies, fuel, etc. are all provided by the Tian family, and this matter is still hidden from the court, so all the money is from the emperor. From private storage.

In order to save money and conceal this matter, the fire mechanism oil cannot be bought openly from the fire mechanism department. Fortunately, the emperor has a reliable underground businessman he knows in the border town in the name of Jian's family army.

Although he is also engaged in the business of fire engine oil, he does not resell the fire engine oil abroad like the former black merchants in Jiangnan. The purity of the engine oil is even higher than that sold by the fire mechanism company, and the utilization rate is very high when used, and the scrap rate of the fire mechanism tools is lower than others--

The lower the purity of ignition mechanism oil, the more impurities there are, and the easier it is to cause an explosion when used as fuel. Moreover, impurities will accumulate in fuel tanks and pipelines, which are difficult to clean and will easily affect the activities of the ignition mechanism.

Depth of Field stayed again this time. As the child of Concubine Jian, he is very familiar with the hidden lines buried by Jian's army in various places. The emperor also took a fancy to him. Moreover, Depth of Field and Situ Meng are also childhood sweethearts, and they have a deep relationship and communicate with each other. More convenient.

Another point is because of the emperor's selfishness. As the emperor, he cannot be completely free from suspicion. Besides, if the sea trade route is really as profitable as Situ Meng said, then of course it is more assured to hold it in his own hands.

He asked Jing Shen to stay and help, and more importantly, let Jing Shen supervise and study for him, and he would replace Situ Meng as the person in charge of the maritime trade route in the future.

Jing Shen is such a smart person, he naturally understands what the emperor means, but as Situ Meng's lover, he definitely can't do such a thing as crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, so he thinks he can procrastinate, and after two years he performed the weak crown ceremony , opened the palace outside the palace, and married Situ Meng, then everyone will be a family by then, and Situ Meng will still work for his own people, and there will not be so many barriers.

"Master, don't you really need to bring a few more people? The mountains are high and the road is far away. I don't worry about you going out alone..." Luo Wu carried the luggage for Situ Meng, and kept persuading Situ Meng, "Otherwise you don't You can bring servants or two guards, I heard that the frontier is in chaos, and two more people can protect you."

Situ Meng declined his suggestion, "With the Sixth Prince here, are you still afraid that I won't be protected? Are their guards better than our guard?"

Luo Wu curled his lips, thinking that Jing Shen was kidnapped by someone who resells the oil from the lighter, and it was the guards of the manor who rescued him!But he didn't dare to say that in front of Jing Shen.

"Okay! We're going to talk about business, not for sightseeing, so we don't need to bring these things..." Situ Meng said, and when he turned around, he saw that Jing Shen had brought Fu Erdai and Meng Meng with him.

The corner of Situ Meng's mouth twitched, "What are you doing with them?"

"We went to the frontier this time, I don't know how long it will take to come back, how can you bear to leave them?" Jing Shen picked up the little chubby dog ​​Mengmeng, "They will definitely feel lonely after not seeing us for so long, maybe they will think they were abandoned by us .”

In modern times, Situ Meng has also heard this saying, saying that pets will suffer from depression if they leave their owners for a long time, but they are going to work now, is it really okay to bring two pets?

No matter whether he has any problems or not, Jing Shen insists on taking the rich second generation and Meng Meng with him, but Situ Meng has no choice but to follow his will. The two ride their horses, bid farewell to everyone in the manor, and leave Chengning Villa.

Since the train locomotive can only take half the distance of the state capital at the longest, Jingshen and Situ Meng have to change trains non-stop, but Jingshen has long been prepared. It's on horseback.

The two of them were not walking fast on horseback. Although it was a hurry, everyone tacitly extended the time of this journey. They enjoyed the scenery along the way, ate and drank, and stopped and stopped. After more than a month, they finally arrived at Bingzhou. Zhou's northernmost state capital.

Although there is still a long distance to Pingcheng, compared with the capital and Yangzhou where Situ Meng once stayed, the living habits and customs of the people in Bingzhou are very different.

The people of Bingzhou are full of enthusiasm and straightforward personality, no matter men or women, their enthusiasm seems to be able to melt the ice and snow in winter, and the further north they go, the more obvious this situation is.

Although Jing Shen knew the dark line on Bingzhou's side and the defense configuration of Jian's army, he had never been to Bingzhou himself. Compared with Situ Meng who unconsciously pretended to be calm in front of his young lover, he was really curious and generous. Show that curiosity.

The two stopped in a certain county town of Bingzhou, where there was a huge ranch. The owner of the ranch used to be a soldier, but later retreated from the front line due to injuries.

In the beginning, he was engaged in the work of domesticating war horses. He used the pension from the imperial court to open a ranch, raised a lot of war horses, and sold them at a low price to the local army camp, where he once shed his blood and sweat.

Later, the scale of the ranch became bigger and bigger, and he not only raised horses, but also raised some cattle and sheep, and improved food for the local military camp from time to time.

After walking around the pasture, Situ Meng couldn't move his feet anymore. Since there was no formal pasture in Chengning Villa, there was only a small pasture used to raise stallions bought from overseas; and the entire Yangzhou Prefecture, There are too few people who own ranches, so he has never been in contact with a ranch of this scale.

Seeing the "a thousand wastes waiting to be built" in the ranch, he felt itchy again, and wanted to renovate the facilities for other people's ranches.

As an old member of Jian's army, his young master's request was naturally supported unconditionally. Besides, the ranch owner, Lao Li, was also very curious. His ranch already had everything he needed. Could it be possible that he could still produce a flower?

Situ Meng met Lao Li's son when he was making a fire mechanism for Lao Li.

The child is only 12 years old, he is very well-behaved and filial, and his personality is much cuter than the little depth of field back then.

His name is Li Yue, and his dream since childhood is to inherit the family ranch when he grows up.He was very curious about what Situ Meng was doing, and followed him like a tail to watch him modify the fire mechanism. After a few days, he became friends with Jingshen Situ Meng.

The friendship between Li Yue and Jing Shen is strange, every time he wants to get close to Situ Meng, he will be stopped by Jing Shen, of course, Jing Shen can't embarrass him to the children of his old department, so Jing Shen uses various excuses to attract Li Yue's attention In the end, the two became friends instead, and Situ Meng, whom Li Yue wanted to get in touch with at first, became a foil instead.

But Situ Meng, who devoted himself wholeheartedly to the production of the fire mechanism, didn't know about it at all. He only knew that Jingshen had finally found other people to entertain him, and finally he didn't have to wreak havoc around him every day to attract his attention.

Jing Shen sits on the wooden fence and watches Li Yue shave the wool. The sheep is as good as a fake under Li Yue.

Jing Shen couldn't help applauding, Li Yue blushed slightly, lowered his head, scratched his head, and laughed twice.

"You are very skilled at shaving wool!" Depth of Field praised.

Li Yue said: "I have watched my father and the others do this since I was a child. At the age of eight... or nine? I started to learn how to shave wool, milk cows, drive sheep and cattle...Young master, don't look at us The ranch is not big, but my dad and the helpers, uncles and aunts, take care of it very carefully, and they love this ranch very much!"

Jing Shen thought of Chengning Villa, which was thousands of miles away, and smiled, "The people in Amon's manor are also like this... I really envy you, you know what you want."

"Don't you know?"

"I don't know what kind of life I want to live, and I don't know what kind of person I want to be." Jing Shen thought for a while and smiled, "The only thing I know is who will be by my side."

Li Yue tilted his head, wondering if he should comfort Jing Shen, he picked up a piece of wool that he had just shaved, "I heard from Dad that you have to go further north, I will make two woolen cloaks for you and Brother Situ Bar?"

Depth of Field watched Li Yue shave some sheep again, tidy them up and start making cloaks.

He stepped on the wooden fence with one foot, and dangled the other foot, looking up at the blue sky, wondering what he was thinking.

As the future owner of the ranch, Li Yue himself likes small animals very much. Seeing Jingshen Situ Meng with two pets, he brings some dried meat and dried fruit with him every day, and feeds them when he sees Mengmeng and Fu Erdai.

Jing Shen’s hostility towards him has been completely eliminated, Situ Meng is busy making fire mechanism, thinks that Jing Shen can’t concentrate when he is around, so Jing Shen and Li Yue ride horses occasionally, watching Li Yue busy.

It only took Situ Meng ten days to complete all the fire organs on the ranch.Lao Li watched Situ Meng install and start these fire engines, his eyes were so wide that they were about to fall off.

He knew that he had misjudged himself. The young master was right. Situ Meng really made a lot of changes to his ranch. Many things that would have cost countless manpower and material resources to complete were completed in the fire mechanism designed by Situ Meng. With the help of tools, it is completely possible to eliminate manpower.

And the re-planned pasture can accommodate more livestock than before, and even the safety level has been improved to a higher level——

In the past, some thieves always stole some immature calves and lambs from Lao Li's pasture. Because the pasture was too big, those thieves found some loopholes that were hard to find. Lao Li couldn't take care of them at all, so he had to Ask your men to patrol several times a day.

Just when Situ Meng was about to wash up and go to sleep at night, the bronze mirror of the system he secretly brought flickered, but this time what came out was not a task, but a new product put on the shelves of the point mall, among which there was something that Situ Meng had been thinking about before. "Back to the Modern World".

Saying goodbye to Lao Li, the two embarked on the journey again, but Jing Shen found that Situ Meng had always felt gloomy since last night, and seemed to have something on his mind, but every time he asked, Situ Meng showed the same nothing as before look.

In this way, the two came to Pingcheng with their own thoughts.
