Traveling through ancient times.

Will he and Liao Qi protect me?

Jiang Yizhou sneered in his heart.

She only believed in her own strength. As for Liao Qi and Qi Hao, they showed a little sincerity only because she was gradually showing her value.

So, she felt from the bottom of her heart that this was just a collaboration.

Jiang Yizhou straightened his back.

Jiang Yizhou probably understood the situation of the carbon stone business - they were very busy now and it was not their turn to come here. But when everything on the other side was stable, they would never let go of the trouble Ning Jianren had caused for the Jiang family.

She paused and asked, "How far has the relationship between Master Ning and Master Jia developed?"

Qi Hao pondered for a moment before saying, "...You must have found out something. Lord Jia really admires him and wants to take him in as his son-in-law. But Lord Jia is very concerned about your existence, so from the perspective of outsiders, his most important thing right now is to deal with your affairs here and then become Lord Jia's son-in-law."

Jiang Yizhou asked back: "Isn't that the case?"

Qi Hao: "Yeah. Actually, you may not have gotten much information about Mr. Ning from the old house in the past few months. Basically, they said he was socializing outside, right?"

He paused and continued: "In fact, he went to Zezhou during those months."

Jiang Yizhou held the teacup in his hand and stopped in mid-air. How many months had he stayed in Zezhou? Lord Jia's home was also there, so...

An idea suddenly popped into her mind.

Qi Hao looked at Jiang Yizhou with a strange smile on his face: "Miss, have you guessed something? That's right, he has actually contacted Mr. Jia's second daughter in private."

Jiang Yizhou asked to confirm: "So, he actually... succeeded?"

Qi Hao nodded: "You can say that."

"That……"

Qi Hao: "Two days ago, that is, on the third day after he was attacked by bandits, news came from Zezhou. It was from Miss Jia that she was pregnant. So..."

Jiang Yizhou's eyes widened involuntarily, hiss, so fast!

Then, she recalled the scene of the original owner meeting him... He created a chance encounter, deliberately made you appear in an awkward situation, and then kept rational and restrained. In addition, he was handsome and talented, so it was easy for a young girl who had been hiding in the boudoir for a long time to leave an impression of a "modest gentleman". Then, after the second and third chance encounters, he would basically have fallen in love with her.

However, Ning Jianren, instead of trying to capture the original owner, after winning her heart, turned to capture the original owner's parents, and quickly won them over by playing to their preferences. Thus, he successfully became the son-in-law of the Jiang family.

But it’s different for Lord Jia, because he knows that he only has two or three months left.

He made preparations for both scenarios. What if he could not settle the marriage within Lord Jia's deadline, or what if Lord Jia did not fulfill his promise even if he settled it?

Then let's take down his daughter first. He is very good at this and it will be easy to deal with.

then……

Jiang Yizhou thought for a moment, looked at Qi Hao and said, "So, in your opinion, will Lord Jia give in?"

Qi Hao: "I have met Lord Jia twice. In fact, the little daughter is his concubine's daughter, but he loves her very much. He just needs someone to act as a matchmaker for his own network of interests, so the little daughter became the first choice. I think if Miss Jia shows up, Lord Jia is likely to secretly send someone to target you."

Jiang Yizhou nodded, "What if we tell Miss Jia that Master Ning is injured?"

Qi Hao: "Okay, I'll have someone spread the news right away."

…………Jiang Yizhou, Liao Qi and Qi Hao chatted in the middle courtyard for nearly half an hour.

The great principles of "productivity" and "benefiting the world" that she just mentioned are indeed a bit pretentious. But from her heart, since she came here, her thoughts have also changed subtly. She really feels that instead of using her energy to conquer a cold-hearted man; wasting time in the backyard playing tricks with other women and slaves; wasting her love and patience on an ungrateful son. It is really better to use it to build a career, achieve herself, and benefit more people.

Wei Ke came over after Liao Qi and Qi Hao left.

"Miss, do you still need to keep an eye on the old house?"

Jiang Yizhou, "Of course. But now things have become a little complicated, and you will be more and more busy. Last time I asked you to go to the population market every time you go to Fusong Town to look for suitable children around ten years old. How is it going now?"

Wei Ke: "I went to Fusong Town yesterday and bought one. Together with the two I bought before, we put them together in the rented house. Uncle Tao provides them with food. I teach them the rules and assign them some tasks every time I go there."

After that, she added: "Miss, I think we are still a little far from the town now. It is not convenient to check on the status of those kids all the time. Why not bring them to the farm?"

Jiang Yizhou nodded, it is very important to cultivate loyal people.

He said, "Once the workshop here is completed, we will carve out an independent yard to train them."

"Yes, ma'am."

At this time, Jiang Yizhou called up the merit exchange list in his sea of ​​consciousness:

[Mind Reading: 100 Merits/1 time (Purpose: To understand the true thoughts of the person being read. Condition: The mental strength must not be weaker than that of the person being read)]

[Spiritual Thread: 1000 Merits/1 Thread (Purpose: Once the Spiritual Thread is used, it will be rooted in the recipient and will only be loyal to the user. Once betrayed, the recipient will become insane and die. Condition: It must be used when the other party shows loyalty, otherwise it will be invalid)]

Just now, Jiang Yizhou used mind reading on Qi Hao.

The other party's real idea is: Ning Jianren is no longer worth investing in. So he turned his target to himself: mainly to use her power to contain Ning Jianren so that he can get out of here perfectly. Of course, if she is strong enough, he will really cooperate with her.

Jiang Yizhou smiled. His guess was correct, but it was not a waste of the opportunity to read minds.

...Three months passed.

The roofing of several newly built workshops in Yunshantianzhuang has been completed. After the renovation, the Jiang’s Woodworking Workshop was the first to be relocated.

The woodworking workshop officially became independent, with Zhang Ni, Zhang Danv and Zhang Baosheng still being the backbone of the team. Two apprentices were also hired, and the business was booming.

Then there are the grain processing workshops, which are divided into two. One is the mill at the foot of the mountain, which is used for pounding rice and grinding flour.

In fact, people in this era basically did not have a unified place to grind rice and flour. Basically, each household pounded rice every day, pounding only as much as they ate. The same was true for flour.

One advantage of this is that food is easier to preserve, but the disadvantage is also very obvious. People spend most of their time cooking.

Therefore, Jiang Yizhou built a rice pounding and flour grinding workshop at the foot of the mountain, where people could exchange rice and flour for very little money.

As soon as Jiang's Processing Workshop was opened, many people came to visit.

There is also a processing workshop for deep processing of grain crops: for example, Jiang Yizhou plans to process cassava after the harvest at the end of the year.

All she could think of was to slice it and dry it, or make it into powder, vermicelli, etc.

In the future, deep processing of wheat and corn can also be carried out here.
