When the servant who delivered the letter arrived at the villa, Jia Cong was practicing "Hunyuan Zhuang".
Seeing this, the servant did not dare to disturb him, and stood aside obediently, waiting until Jia Cong had stood there for half an hour, then he stopped, then walked closer and handed the letter to Jia Cong.
"I'd like to say hello to Third Master. This is Miss Ping's letter to Third Master. Someone broke into the backyard last night, but no one was hurt."
Jia Cong took the letter with a smile on his face. After waiting for these days, he finally got the result.
"You go to the square first and follow the training. I will write a letter at noon and you can take it back in the afternoon."
"Yes, Third Master."
The servant agreed, ran to the square, and started training with the soldiers.
Jia Cong opened the letter and browsed it quickly. When he saw the result he wanted, he couldn't help but laugh.
Yanhong's girl's method coincided with her own, and she dominated the situation. She was really capable. I had underestimated her before.
Liu Rui, that bastard, has finally fallen into my trap this time. It depends on how ambitious he is. If you dare to produce soap in large quantities, I will make you die.
Zhang Moyan came over and asked with concern: "What? Something happened at home again?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, master. It's nothing major and has been taken care of."
Put away the letter and continue training.
After lunch, I wrote a letter to Ping'er and asked my servant to take it back.
A few days later, Jia Lian came to the villa again and notified Jia Cong to hand over the goods.
Jia Cong led forty personal guards, drove two carriages, and pulled the silver to the delivery location.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an acquaintance. This person was also known to Jia Cong. He was Ma Shang, the grandson of Ma Kui, the ruler of the country and a hereditary third-rank Weiyuan general.
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "It turns out that Uncle Ma is in front of me. My nephew is being polite."
Ma Shang laughed and said: "Brother Cong, you can do it. You are starting to mess around at such a young age. Uncle Ma has brought you all the things you want. Don't worry, they are all 80% new and well-maintained." good."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "My nephew, I would like to thank Uncle Ma for bringing up all the money. Master Zhang, could you please take someone to count the goods?"
I really can't tell the quality of this war horse. I don't understand this thing, so I can only rely on Zhang Dakui, a veteran, and his own groom to distinguish it.
The bows, arrows and hand crossbows were also inspected. They were indeed 80% new and had no quality problems. They were directly installed on the car.
Ma Shang also asked people to count the silver. When he saw that the number was correct, he also asked people to carry it into the carriage. The transaction was completed.
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ma, for your help this time. If there is nothing else, my nephew will leave first."
Ma Shang said: "Brother Cong, you're welcome. Everyone gets what they need. If you need anything in the future, you can come directly to Uncle Ma. Uncle Ma can handle these small things for you. Now Uncle Ma is on duty in the Beijing camp, and the Ministry of War There are also some connections there.”
Jia Cong smiled and said, "That's great. From now on, if my nephew needs anything, he will have to bother Uncle Ma."
After bidding farewell to Ma Shang, the soldiers mounted their war horses and returned to the villa while pulling their things.
Zhang Dakui said happily: "Third Master, it's good now. We can start training in riding skills, and we can also start training in shooting skills."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Master Zhang will be troubled by the training here. In addition, I will ask Wangcai to select the new batch of recruits in the past few days. Those who pass will be included in your side and will be trained as standard soldiers."
"Now that I know Third Master, I will prepare in advance."
Riding and archery both require long-term training, and not everyone can pass them.
Jia Cong planned to popularize the skills, select talented ones, and train them individually as cavalry and professional archers.
Other personnel only need to be familiar with the use of it, and they mainly train physical fitness and fighting skills.
A few days later, forty-seven people, including eight girls, were selected from those hundreds of years and were given to Zhang Dakui for training as soldiers.
From the remaining more than 80 people, ten people were selected and handed over to the grooms, who would lead them and be responsible for raising the war horses.
The remaining six girls were handed over to Han Nianci and asked to take care of them for a period of time and teach them some knowledge about hemostasis and bandaging. If they were suitable, they would be kept. If they were not suitable, they would wait until the distiller was ready and let them refine the alcohol. Bar.
Ten of the blacksmith shops and carpenters' shops were divided into ten each, and the remaining forty or so were all handed over to Wangcai and Zhuangtou.
Now Zhuangtou is leading people to build a winery. Let them help. After the winery is built, a five-meter-wide mountain road will be built at the foot of the mountain for the cavalry to train their riding skills.
After leaving these trivial matters to the people below, Jia Cong once again entered into hard training.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and the villa has also ushered in earth-shaking changes.
Thanks to the irrigation provided by water trucks, the villa had a bumper harvest last summer and autumn.
In addition to 30% of his own rent, Jia Cong allowed the villagers to leave enough food rations. Jia Cong purchased all the remaining food at market prices, built ten large granaries in the villa, and stored all the food.
After intensive plowing in autumn, this year's wheat is growing even more gratifyingly. The summer harvest is just over a month away, and this year is another bumper harvest year.
After more than a year of development, the villa has changed a lot. Jia Cong gave the villa a name, "Linhe Villa".
The winery has been put into production. Two brewing masters from the south have been hired, and more than 40 teenagers have all joined the winery to work.
Distilled liquor also came out, but Jia Cong did not put it on the market. Instead, he dug a large wine cellar and stored it all. Two thousand jars of fifty kilograms of wine were already stored.
There are also 5,000 bottles of wine weighing ten pounds, and Jia Cong plans to put them on the market near the end of the year.
A batch of alcohol is also stored as medical alcohol for disinfection.
Jia Cong also asked the kiln-burning master to take the lead in building a kiln and let them experiment with firing cement and glass. However, after this year, they tried hundreds of times, but the results were not great.
However, Liuli was accidentally created.
Jia Cong divided some people and began to produce some colored glaze artworks and decorations.
A group of blacksmiths also developed better steel and created a batch of sharp swords, daggers, flying claws, marching shovels and other special props for special forces members.
Today's special operations team members are all equipped with brand new equipment. After more than ten months of training, they are all completely reborn, full of energy and high morale.
Although he is still young, after taking nine powerful pills, he is very strong and agile, especially in the mountains and forests, he is as at home as a fish in water, like a cheetah.
Jia Cong was very satisfied when he saw it and named the special team 'Cheetah Team'.
On Zhang Dakui's side, the group of teenagers have been training for a year and have already taken shape.
The twenty servants at home also came for a rotation training. Those who were good at riding were selected from these people to form a cavalry of forty people, who trained their riding skills on the mountain roads every day.
The remaining forty people were trained as infantry and continued to train in physical fitness and fighting skills.
There are more than 20 people with archery talent, more than half of whom are in the special operations team, so they should train more.
The iron plow has been fully qualified after its own trial and inspection and can be promoted on a large scale.
Jia Cong decided to return to Beijing in the next few days. Through the relationship between the Jia family, he dedicated the iron plow to the emperor and promoted it nationwide through the emperor. This can be regarded as doing his best for the country and the majority of farmers.
