Jia Huan forced Mr. Mo to stay and have dinner at his house.
The Mo family is also headed by the Mo family, which occupies a very important position in Jia Huan's layout and cannot be overemphasized.
Therefore, if there is an opportunity to win people's hearts, Jia Huan will naturally not let it go.
Of course, this is also because Ms. Mo's family doesn't really want to stay and eat in Jia's house. She just feels ashamed because of her humble status.
Being forced to keep food by Mr. Jia, the head of the Mo family was both happy and grateful.
After eating, Mr. Mo said: "I see that you don't have a follower around you, and there is no one to protect your safety. This is not good. Tomorrow, I will bring two people over to stay with you and act as your follower, and protect you by the way. Safety."
Before dinner, the head of the Mo family called himself a little girl in front of Jia Huan, but after dinner, he called himself a subordinate. It can be seen that this meal still has an effect.
Jia Huan smiled and said: "This is not necessary. I am just a Hanlin editor, so why do I need the protection of guards? Besides, I have also learned some martial arts, and my skills are pretty good."
Jia Huan studied martial arts with Wei Ruolan and became very proficient in boxing and kicking. He also practiced two sets of sword techniques.
Although the training time is short, both fists, kicks and sword skills are really mediocre. But he is too strong to withstand it.
In the competition with Wei Ruolan, Wei Ruolan had to spend some effort to defeat him.
The head of the Mo family shook his head repeatedly and said: "Why do you think so little of yourself, sir? The future of our Mo family is related to your master, how can we be careless?"
"I want you to know that our Mo family is not only proficient in the art of puppetry, but also the swordsmanship of the Mo family. These two long followers sent by my subordinates, although they are young, their swordsmanship is already good."
"In addition, they carry various mechanisms with them. With their presence, they will ensure your safety. Please don't refuse, sir."
Mohist swordsmanship? Jia Huan seemed to have heard something.
It turns out that the Mo family is not only proficient in machine puppets, but also is extremely outstanding in martial arts. In this case, the Mo family would help him even more.
Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "In that case, as you said, I'll spare you the trouble. By the way, come over early tomorrow morning and come with me to Zhuangzi outside the city to have a look."
"When the time comes, you will have to plan where and how the factory buildings need to be built."
Mr. Mo smiled and said: "It is an honor for me to serve you. I will be there early tomorrow morning. I will take my leave."
Jia Huan nodded and ordered Zhao Da to drive Mr. Mo's family back.
Jia Huan then ordered Zhao Guoji to go to Jia Yun's house and tell him to come see him early tomorrow morning.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, after Jia Huan washed up, he found that Jia Yun had arrived early.
Not long after, the head of Mo University also rushed over, followed by two teenagers who looked exactly the same.
The two young men were both dressed in tight-fitting black samurai uniforms, with a long sword hanging diagonally on their backs, a wooden box on their waists, and something seemed to be attached to the cuffs.
These two young men, with handsome eyebrows and long eyes, were extremely handsome, almost surpassing Jia Huan.
Jia Huan once doubted whether they were women disguised as men, but when he saw that they had Adam's apples and their breasts were not obviously bulging, he gave up his doubts.
The head of the Mo family came up and saluted and said: "I have met you, sir. Sir, these two people are twins. They have the same mind. Their combined attack can surpass the level and kill powerful enemies."
"There are two of them, one is called Mo Zhu and the other is called Mo Mei. Uh, my subordinates can't tell who they are, so you can call them whatever you want. Mo Zhu and Mo Mei, why don't you come and see me soon."
After hearing what Master Mo said, Mo Zhu and Mo Mei hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Mo Zhu (Mo Mei), I have met your lord."
Jia Huan nodded and said: "From now on, you will all stay by my side, so don't call me Lord, call me Young Master."
"Yes, sir."
Jia Huan nodded, and then said: "You haven't eaten yet, right? Come on, let's eat first. After eating, let's go to Zhuangzi outside the city to have a look."
That's all, Mr. Mo and Jia Yun, they all came to the table.
Neither Mo Zhu nor Mo Mei dared to go to the table.
They were Jia Huan's long followers and servants, so they had no reason to eat with their master.
However, Jia Huan was forcefully called to the table to have breakfast together.
It's not that Jia Huan doesn't care about his dignity, it's because these two people have special status.
To be able to receive such a recommendation from the head of the Mo family, these twin brothers must be masters. Jia Huan will protect them in the future, so he will naturally treat them like family members.
Sitting on the table, Mo Zhu and Mo Mei couldn't let go.
Because they are warriors, they eat a lot.
If they eat as hard as usual, they may scare the adults and possibly make them look down upon.
I'm afraid I won't be full for breakfast today.
Unexpectedly, at the dinner table, Jia Huan actually ate better than them.
Now they felt relieved and started eating together with Jia Huan.
After finishing the meal, Mo Zhu and Mo Mei suddenly felt that their relationship with the adults had become much closer.
After eating, several people got on the carriage and drove out of the city.
An hour later, they left the city, walked south for five or six miles, and then turned east.
After another three or four miles, we arrived at a village.
There was a stream outside the village. From a distance, Jia Huan could see a group of naked children outside the village.
Some of them were fishing in the river, some were digging wild vegetables, and a few climbed up the trees to pull leaves.
These children, the youngest were six or seven years old, the oldest were twelve or twelve years old, and they were all naked.
It's simply offensive!
Not long after, everyone got closer and discovered that these children were all sallow and thin, and their ribs were clearly visible.
Jia Huan's heart couldn't help but sink, and he couldn't help but ask: "Is this the village in our house?"
Jia Yun quickly explained: "Third Uncle, this is Lijia Village, our village is still ahead."
"In this Lijia Village, the whole village is made up of tenants. The land they rent is owned by Qiong Hua, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Lord Qiong is also an attendant in the East Palace and is responsible for teaching the prince."
"This Lord Qiong is very harsh on his tenants. He charges 80% of the rent every year, even in disaster years. The tenants who rent his land usually have trouble filling their stomachs."
"These children are all naked because they have no clothes to wear. I heard that many tenant farmers only have one piece of clothing at home. When men go out, women can only lie on the bed. When women go out, men can only hide at home."
Hearing this, everyone in the carriage couldn't help but fell silent.
Jia Huan also didn't expect that his colleague would have such a good character.
Jia Huan suddenly asked: "Brother Yun, you don't come here often, right? Why are you so familiar with this place?"
Jia Yun said: "Back to Third Uncle, yesterday Grandpa Zhao asked me to follow Third Uncle here to Zhuangzi today, so I inquired about the situation in the surrounding villages in advance."
"I've inquired about the situation of not just this one village, but a dozen villages nearby."
