Time flew by, and after a month of hard training, Jia Cong finally reached the stage of bone training and entered the stage of training the internal organs.
From this day on, Zhang Moyan began to teach Jia Cong everything he had learned throughout his life.
All kinds of boxing, swords, sticks, swords and spears were taught to me with all my resources. It took two months to complete the teaching.
"My good disciple, I don't have to admire your learning ability as a teacher. What I have learned for most of my life as a teacher, you have learned all in just two months. You just need to practice more frequently in the future.
However, except for Qinggong Lifting Technique, which you have to work hard on, you only need to be able to use it skillfully. Choose something that suits you and practice harder. I hope you can find your own way as soon as possible. "
Jia Cong said respectfully: "Thank you, Master, for your careful teaching. I will definitely remember Master's teachings and practice Kung Fu hard. I will not let Master down."
Zhang Moyan nodded happily and said with emotion: "It's been almost two years since I came here. It's time to go back to Wudang Mountain to have a look. In the future, I won't be by your side. You have to practice martial arts diligently and don't slack off."
After hearing Zhang Moyan's words, Jia Cong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the master was going back to Wudang Mountain.
The master and apprentice have been together for nearly two years, and they have taught him carefully. When they suddenly heard that they were leaving, they felt a little reluctant.
"Master, why are you leaving all of a sudden? I still have many things to ask the master for, my apprentice?"
Zhang Moyan smiled and said: "Master, I have nothing to teach you anymore. Besides, I have been away from Wudang Mountain for a long time, and I want to go back to see it. If you have time in the future, you can go to Wudang Mountain to see it. Remember that you are too A direct disciple of the Wudang Sect."
Seeing that the master was resolute and not joking, and knowing that the master was really going back to Wudang Mountain, he stopped insisting.
After all, there is no end to the world, and the master does not belong here, but belongs to Wudang Mountain.
"Now that the master has decided to return to Wudang Mountain, the disciple will no longer be forced to stay. It is almost the end of the year. I will let the caravan send the master back. By the way, I will bring some new year's goods to the mountain. I am also considered a disciple. Of filial piety."
Zhang Moyan was silent for a while and nodded in agreement, "That's fine. I know that you are a little god of wealth and you are not short of this little money, so I will accept your filial piety."
Jia Cong asked someone to set up a banquet in the master's courtyard. The master and apprentice sat across from each other and drank, which was regarded as practicing for the master.
He ordered He Cheng and Wangcai to prepare twenty carts of new year's goods and send Master Zhang Moyan back to Wudang Mountain.
Jia Cong's wine has also been put on the market, named 'Linhe Fine Wine'.
Zhang Fu led several stewards to select one of the many shops in Ningguo Mansion to specialize in selling wine.
Jia Cong took the time to sort out an advertising and sales promotion plan and plan, and gave it to Zhang Fu.
Let him and several stewards learn from it and then be responsible for the implementation of the entire plan.
Ningguo Mansion's management is relatively loose, but there are still some talents. With these people around, I will feel much more relaxed, and I won't need to step forward for many things.
A few days later, the special operations team also rushed back to the villa.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the third master."
Looking at Tiezhu and several team captains in front of him, Jia Cong waved his hands and said: "No need to be polite, just sit down and talk, what did you gain from going to Yangzhou this time?"
Tie Zhu took out a pamphlet from his arms and handed it to Jia Cong: "Third Master, according to your instructions, after we went to Yangzhou, we mainly focused on inquiring about information. We also bribed a few small forces to help us provide information. information.
Due to time constraints, the information we got was very limited. We only had a general understanding of the big and small forces in Yangzhou, and we didn't have time to investigate the detailed information.
However, we have entrusted those small forces to help us investigate. We should gain something if we go there next time. "
Jia Cong nodded, opened the booklet and read a few pages. He only gave some brief descriptions of the big and small forces, nothing too substantial, and then closed it and put it aside.
He raised his head and asked, "Uncle Lin Ruhailin, the salt inspector, have you ever learned more about it carefully?"
Tie Zhu said: "We have done some research on Mr. Lin. Since he took office, he has severely suppressed the salt merchants, but he has been stuck within a range that is acceptable to the other party.
These salt merchants all hated him, but were unwilling to break up with him directly. During an investigation, we accidentally bumped into the wine bureaus of several major salt merchants and found that they had close ties with the Jinling Zhen family.
After eavesdropping for a few words, I found out that the eight major salt merchants were the Emperor's money bag, and the Jinling Zhen family were also members of the Emperor. They were the liaisons between them, and their relationship was quite close. "
The Jinling Zhen family belonged to the Supreme Emperor, and Jia Cong had known this for a long time.
I also know that the Zhen family in Jiangnan is like a local emperor. The gentry and officials in Jiangnan have to give the Zhen family three points of respect. If you provoke the Zhen family, you can't get along in Jiangnan.
The current Zhen family in Jinling is much more powerful than the four major families in Jinling: Jia, Wang, Shi and Xue.
The main members of the four major families of Jia, Wang, Shi and Xue have left Jinling and settled in Shenjing City.
What is left are just some collateral clan members. Although they still bear the names of the four major families in Jinling and have some influence in the local area, they only rely on the names of their ancestors.
He has neither outstanding talents nor power in the local government. Strictly speaking, he is just an ordinary landowner and gentry.
But the Zhen family was different. They had been responsible for welcoming the emperor four times. In the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, they were truly famous people.
However, their glory will only last a few years. Once the Supreme Emperor dies, the Emperor will definitely not spare them.
They are probably the first ones to deal with. This is the tragedy of being a minister.
"What else? Is there any other news?"
Tie Zhu said: "Those salt merchants are also making small moves, and it is quite difficult for Mr. Lin to deal with them. Life is not easy. That's basically all we have here.
In addition, Water Monkey sent someone to contact us and wanted to take away a batch of supplies. They also took away the group of water bandits. They said that there was a group of pirates on an island near the estuary and they planned to take people and supplies with them. Take refuge in them. "
Jia Cong frowned when he heard this and asked, "Aren't we asking them to go south to Fujian to have a look? By the way, they can get familiar with the sea route."
Tie Zhu said: "Third Master, this incident is also a coincidence. The little leader of the pirate group came ashore to sell the stolen goods and was recognized. Water Monkey and the others happened to pass by. After understanding the situation, they thought it was an opportunity and rescued them. .
After some conversation, I found out that the Water Monkeys were a group of water pirates from the interior and were very skilled, so they tried their best to win over the Water Monkeys and join their pirate team.
Water Monkey also thought it was an opportunity, so he said that he still had more than a hundred people and a batch of supplies. The little boss was even more happy when he heard that, and asked them to take them there together. That's what happened. "
This is indeed a good opportunity to settle down on that small island first and get familiar with the sea environment.
With those water bandits here, they are considered a considerable force and should be able to gain some say. They will take their place after they are completely accustomed to the sea.
When the time comes, I will spend money to buy them a few warships and install small steel cannons, and then I can slowly conquer some small groups of pirates.
The key is to need a crew with experience at sea and a guide who is familiar with sea routes.
It seems that this can only be done for now, let’s wait and see again.
"Then let's do this for now. We already have our own caravan. When the caravan comes back, you can hand over the supplies to the caravan and make a handover with Wangcai. All special forces members will participate in the training starting tomorrow."
Several people stood up together and performed a military salute: "Yes, Third Master."
Starting from the next day, Jia Cong took Qingwen, Chunlan, Xia Zhu, Qiu Ju, Dongmei and others to participate in the training with the special forces team members.
Let the four people from Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter learn about the combat methods of the special forces team members.
This training lasted for more than two months and did not end until the end of the year.
This time, as an exception, they were given a long holiday and allowed to go home to celebrate the New Year. Each of them was given twenty taels of silver, which was enough for them to have a good New Year.
These people have been with him for two years and have been training for two years.
After going out to experience and perform tasks these few times, my performance has been very good, and I have basically met the requirements of a special operations team member.
Jia Cong also rushed back to Ningguo Mansion before the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, with Yuanyang, Xiren, Qingwen, Xiangling, Han Nianci and other maids, big and small, and two teams of servants.
The group came to the gate of Ningguo Mansion and saw that the gate of Ningguo Mansion was open. Zhang Fu and more than a hundred servants stood on both sides of the gate to greet them.
"Welcome Third Master back home."
Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, nodded to everyone, dismounted, handed the horse to his servant, and walked into Ning Guo Mansion.
Youshi, Qin Keqing, Ping'er, Yanhong, Xiaohong and others greeted them outside the second door.
After some greetings, Jia Cong, who was surrounded by people, returned to the backyard.
All of a sudden, the room was full of warblers and warblers, which made it quite lively.
Qin Keqing said: "Uncle Cong, you are still busy at home. When you are not at home, there are only a few of us at home, and it always feels deserted."
Jia Cong said: "When I grow up, I will be at home with you every day. How are you preparing for the New Year?"
Ping'er said: "Third Master, we are almost ready. We have made some slight adjustments based on the old rules of the house and some of our habits. Everything that needs to be prepared is ready."
Youshi said: "This adjustment is a lot better, but the cost has also increased a lot."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "If the cost is higher, then it is higher. We are not short of that money. At least we are comfortable, right? Besides, our 'Linhe Wine' sells very well."
Ping'er said happily: "Well, the third master is right. Our wine sells very well. It became very popular as soon as it came on the market. It's also the Chinese New Year, and everyone wants to buy some good wine to entertain guests. In addition, The wine served to our house is the only one, and business is getting better.”
Jia Cong nodded. His "Linhe Wine" is clear and transparent, with a mellow and soft taste. The alcohol content is also higher than the current one. No other wine can compare with it. It would be strange if it is not popular.
Glancing at everyone in the room, except for Youshi and Qin Keqing, they were either his maids or his arms.
"Since I have made money this year, Third Master is not stingy. Everyone in the room today will be given a set of jewelry. You can choose the style you like. You can find someone to make it, or you can go directly to a jewelry store to buy it."
"Third Master, do we have one too?"
"Well, yes, everyone is in the room today."
"Thank you, Third Master."
Xiren, Xiaohong, Qingwen and others all became happy after hearing this.
Qin Keqing said: "Uncle Cong, you are so generous. With this opening, ten sets of headgear are gone."
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Isn't this money just for spending? Besides, our family is not short of this money. Each of you is dressed up beautifully. I am also happy to see it."
Youshi looked at the brother-in-law in front of him and sighed in his heart. He is rich, generous, does not ask for anything, and has no problems like this. The most important thing is that he can make money.
The 'Linhe Fine Wine' I made a few years ago earned more than 100,000 taels of silver in just two or three months.
I have also drunk this wine. Not only does it taste better than other wines, it is also clear, crystal clear and looks very good.
I don’t know how this kid’s brain grew. He first invented soap and then wine, and they were both better than others.
After lunch, I thought about taking Yuanyang to check in with Jia Mu.
At this time, You walked in again, holding a red gift card and a bill in his hand.
"Brother Cong, the head of Wuzhuang from Heishan Village in Liaodong is here. Knowing that you took over the house, he wanted to kowtow to you. This is the post he handed over, as well as the list of new year's goods sent this year, which is the year's list. harvest."
Jia Cong took a look at the red gift card and saw what it said: "My disciple Zhuangtou Wu Jin is a filial piety, and I would like to invite you and my grandma to wish you a happy and prosperous New Year. May you be honored and safe, may you be promoted to a higher position, and may everything go well."
Jia Cong smiled, took the bill and looked at it, and saw it read: "Thirty big deer, fifty deer, fifty roe deer, twenty Siamese pigs, twenty soup pigs, dragon pigs" Twenty, twenty wild boars, twenty domestic pigs.
Twenty wild sheep, twenty green sheep, twenty domestic Tang sheep, twenty domestic sheep, two sturgeons, and two hundred catties of miscellaneous fish.

Twenty pairs of bear paws, twenty kilograms of deer tendons, fifty kilograms of sea cucumbers, fifty deer tongues, and fifty ox tongues.

The total amount of silver for livestock in Zhuangzi is 5,500 taels.
In addition, the filial piety gifts for brothers and sisters include two pairs of live deer, four pairs of live white rabbits, four pairs of black rabbits, two pairs of live golden pheasants, and two pairs of Western ducks. '
He handed the list to Ping'er, let her look at it, and asked: "What was the harvest in Liaodong Zhuangzi in previous years? Compared with the current harvest, is it more or less?"
Ping'er said: "This requires checking the previous accounts."
Youshi said: "I took a look. The money is about the same as in previous years. The New Year's goods feel a little richer than before. Brother Cong, is this amount too much or too little?"
