The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

Jia Lian looked at Shui Rong with a calm demeanor, anticipating that he was already prepared for his visit.Besides, there is no need to talk about morality with this kind of person, just ask him straight to the point: "Tell me, your purpose."

"Worthy of being the Duke of the country, you are really straightforward." Shui Rong smiled softly.

Seeing him like this, Jia Lian found it even more ridiculous, so she turned around and sat down at random.

Shui Rong looked at him in surprise, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry.Shui Rong asked strangely, "Aren't you worried about your child?"

"Worried." Jia Lian replied.

"Then why don't you ask?" Shui Rong asked unwillingly.

"I'm really worried about him, but I know he must be fine. Because of you, you want to use it as a condition for negotiating with me."

Shui Rong laughed loudly, "As expected of the Duke of Zhen, who was sealed by the emperor, he is even more powerful than I expected."

"This is not a compliment to me!" Jia Lian looked up at Shui Rong with an indescribable coldness in his eyes, "Should we still talk about it?"

"Talk, of course we have to talk. It's very simple, I want you to be like me in the future and obey the orders of the First Prince." Shui Rong replied, "Although the First Prince is not as intelligent and calm as the Fourth Prince, he has..."

"I agree." Jia Lian cut off the conversation.

Shui Rong looked at Jia Lian in surprise, his eyes a little shocked.Shui Rong was a person who was not easily surprised, but today he was surprised twice after meeting Jia Lian for a while.

"You agreed so simply?"

"En." Jia Lian replied perfunctorily.

"You?" Shui Rong became even more anxious. Originally, he had the initiative in today's affairs, but for some reason, when facing Jia Lian, he always lost his balance.Shui Rong hated this feeling very much, and couldn't control his own feelings.

Jia Lian laughed at him slightly sarcastically, "What do you want? I've already agreed to your terms, but I'm not happy?"

Jia Lian's words made Shui Rong feel like a stick in his throat, he couldn't say what was wrong, and he couldn't say what was right.

"Since the conditions have been negotiated, what about the child?" Jia Lian squinted at Shui Rong.

"Hmph, you promised so simply, how can I trust you?"

"Smart people should act decisively, and the result after struggling and hesitating is the same. I still hate my child and must save him. If this is the case, why should I waste time." Jia Lian explained.

Seeing that Shui Rong was still hesitant, Jia Lian laughed, "Since we can't trust each other, why should we talk about serving the First Prince together?"

After that, he looked at Shui Rong with a mocking face.

"I want you to do something to prove it." Shui Rong said.

"Anything you want." Jia Lian replied.

Shui Rong: "I want you to tell me now, the time and route for the Hubu to transport grain to the northwest."

"Map." Jia Lian said angrily.

Shui Rong immediately ordered someone to fetch a map.

Jia Lian roughly glanced at it, and drew a line on it with a cinnabar pen.

Shui Rong probed over to look, and saw that the layout of the route should be true, but it could not be ruled out that Jia Lian was lying to him, after all, this guy's brain is different from ordinary people.

"How can I be sure it's true?"

"Four days later, the Ministry of Household Affairs will set off to transport grain to the northwest. Whether it is true or not will be known at that time. You can release the child and let me be here!" Jia Lian explained.

Shui Rong pondered for a while, waved his hand, and sent someone to send the child back to the Duke's mansion.

Not long after, Xing'er happily said back and forth that the child had been found, and roughly told the story, "...a sedan chair stopped at the door, and the bearer suddenly ran away, and then heard the cry of a child, and the boy who opened the door went to check , I saw my brother is well inside."

Jia Lian said he knew and sent him to wait outside.

"How about it, are you relieved now?" Shui Rong asked with a smile.

"Tell me, what to do next." Jia Lian said with a blank expression, a helpless tone of being threatened.

"It's a blink of an eye for you to suddenly live in my house. I still have a mansion in Beijing, but few people know about it. You live there for now, bear with it for a while, and you will know in four days." Shui Rong instructed .

Jia Lian got up and went out, accompanied by many people from the palace to supervise him at any time.Among the attendants who came along, only Xing'er was left alone, so as not to send private messages from him.

Shui Rong went to the residence to investigate in person, and left after making sure everything was safe.

After that, he sent a message to Jia's house, saying that Jia Lian was busy with official duties and could not go home for the time being.

Four days later, it was sunny and sunny, and the autumn air was crisp.

Shui Rong took Jia Lian to wait at Liulipo outside the city early, this is the only way for the autumn grain to be transported to the northwest after it leaves Beijing.

"Don't ask me, what will the soldiers of the northwest do if the food is cut off?" Shui Rong asked curiously.

"It's a bit bitter, let's eat potatoes every day." Jia Lian didn't care about it.

"You are really cold-faced and cold-hearted. I thought you were loyal to the emperor and would be very heartbroken."

"To please the emperor is just an act of knowing the current affairs." Jia Lian stated flatly.

While talking, he heard footsteps and ruts in the distance.

Water soluble ordered everyone to hide.

When the team was halfway through, the firecrackers were suddenly thrown down, and they crackled for a long time, which shocked the food transport team.

The assassins immediately surrounded them, captured the head of the food transport team, ordered everyone to surrender, and tied them in a group by the roadside.Others panicked and ran away.

"Let's go down." Shui Rong handed Jia Lian a piece of masked black cloth, and covered himself with one. Then he took out a strangely shaped jade pendant and pinned it on Jia Lian's waist forcibly.

Shui Rong and Jia Lian walked in front of the general.

The general saw that the two men were bandit leaders, struggled angrily, and shouted: "This is military rations, and cutting off military rations is a death penalty for ransacking your home!"

Shui Rong tugged at Jia Lian's sleeve, intentionally making him shake back and forth in front of the general.The jade pendant around his waist naturally caught his eyes.

Shui Rong called for people to hurry up to transport food, and after three carts were transported away, someone spread the word that reinforcements were coming, and Shui Rong immediately ordered everyone to retreat.

After escaping, Shui Rong immediately took Jia Lian to the Ministry of Industry for a walk, and even praised Jia Lian's jade pendant in front of others.

At this time, the news of the food cut-off had already spread to the palace, and it was really bad that such things happened at the feet of the emperor outside the imperial city.The emperor was furious, and ordered Marquis Pingyuan to investigate the matter in detail, and would never let any of the gangsters go.

After leaving the palace, Shui Rong took off the jade pendant, held it in his hand, smiled and said to Jia Lian, "You can go back."

Jia Lian smiled helplessly, "As expected of you."

After returning home, Jia Lian was finally relieved to see that the child was intact.On the second day, Shui Rong handed over a post, inviting Jia Lian to meet the First Prince in the Zhuangyuan Building.The eldest prince was very happy and treated Jia Lian very warmly.Jia Lian also seemed to be very knowledgeable about current affairs, and had a good chat with the eldest prince.

Seeing this, the first prince completely changed his view of Jia Lian.Afterwards, He and Shui Rong kept praising him, and praised Shui Rong for his swiftness in doing things, and he made a great contribution.

Shui Rong still smiled warmly, showing a humble attitude towards the First Prince.Because of this, the eldest prince liked him even more, and praised Shui Rong as his right-hand man, and he would make an exception in the future to make him a prince.

Shui Rong smiled and thanked En, and after watching the eldest prince leave, a tricky smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It took about half a month to investigate the hijacking of military rations. From a barbarian shoe lost in the forest, it was speculated that this incident was done by the barbarian army.In the end, there were no clues after a thorough investigation in March, so the suspects had already moved away from the capital, and finally nothing happened.

Jia Lian has changed his attitude towards the fourth prince in the past few months, and has been speaking for the eldest prince in many matters.The fourth prince's face was gloomy all day long, and he could tell that he was very frustrated at the first sight.

The eldest prince became more and more successful and was overjoyed, and attributed all the credit to Jia Lian.

Years passed like this, and considering that Shui Rong held Jia Lian's life gate, and the observation of him during this period, the eldest prince relaxed his guard a little, but his guard was still there.

In autumn, Jia Lian's first batch of experimental hybrid rice seeds had been successfully harvested.He experimented with crossing the CMS line with several different varieties of rice.At the same time, Jia Lian's glass factory had produced the first batch of colorless glass.Jia Lian built a small greenhouse in the backyard of his home, with geothermal heating under the ground.After winter, Jia Lian took out some of the hybrids, planted them in the greenhouse at home, and evaluated the yield of each hybrid.

Afterwards, Jia Lian was idle, and accompanied the eldest prince and his fellows to work.

The eldest prince wanted to put someone in the household department, so Jia Lian tried to find two vacancies for him.

Fan Fang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate always impeaches the eldest prince when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't get in.The eldest prince couldn't win him over several times, so he was ready to kill him.Jia Lian took the initiative to say that he had something to handle him, and came to Fan Fang's door to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.On the second day, Fan Fang voluntarily resigned from office and left Beijing.

He even solved the itchy skin problem of the queen using rouge.A woman's face is like fate, and the queen admired Jia Lian very much.Later, the queen gave Jia Lianrong's rouge to the empress dowagers and concubines. Their skin was fragile and sensitive, and they felt very good with this kind of rouge. They couldn't help praising the queen's filial piety in front of the emperor.

For a time, the relationship between the emperor and empress was also harmonious.

The eldest prince gradually regained his favor in front of the emperor.

The eldest prince thought that after La Jialian dismounted, he would be unwilling.Unexpectedly, Jia Lian's performance completely exceeded his expectations, he was like a god-man.At first he thought that Jia Lian's ability was only in farming, but he never expected that he was quite good at court maneuvering.

The eldest prince liked Jia Lian very much, and he passed the test. While he planned to reuse Jia Lian, he was also very happy that the King of Beijing had found such a good treasure for him.The eldest prince gave King Jing a lot of benefits, gold and silver beauties were sent like water, especially the troubles caused by his hobby, they were all solved without saying a word.

Jia Lian also dragged many officials into the water, Jiang Zining was the first, and Zhaochen, who was known as a ghost head, did not escape Jia Lian's "claws".

Zhaochen didn't know the situation yet, and started to work for Jia Lian, all for the sake of Besicchi's words.However, some things are quite meaningful, and he is very happy to be forced to do them, but this time Zhaochen has a little opinion.

"It is said that you have been pregnant for three years and your wife gave birth to a child. Why are you so stupid? The fourth prince is fine, why do you want to hang out with the first prince? Let me help the first prince close the case?"

Jia Lian: "You do what you do."

Zhaochen: "No, I must know."

Jia Lian: "Then I'll give you one, he's taller than the Fourth Prince."

"nonsense!"

"This is a fact."

"Where is he tall? Do you have poor eyesight? Although the first prince looks good, he is far less calm and smart than the fourth prince." Zhaochen looked at Jia Lian and was stunned, "Tall? Are you talking about height? "

"Ah."

Zhaochen: "..."

"Let's talk about what you want me to do this time. Let me tell you in advance. This time I want Besichi's manuscript, which is a long story." Zhaochen lost his hand excitedly, and smiled with bright eyes.

"Yes." Jia Lian raised the corners of his lips casually, "Tomorrow, you will accompany me to plot against the eldest prince."
