Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 262 Renewal of Weapons 1

The summer of the eighth year of Xifeng was extremely hot. Drought occurred in many places in Liaodong, and the land was red for thousands of miles.

Fortunately, the territory of Liaohaiwei is rich in water systems. Under the nourishment of Daqing River, Xiaoqing River, Liangzi River, and Mati River, as well as the construction of many ditches and reservoirs ordered by Jia Cong, there is no risk of water shortage, and the summer grain growth is excellent.

The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and Jia Cong's defense was extremely relaxed. He practiced martial arts, hunted, and wandered around every day, which was euphemistically called "rule by hanging the arch".

Because of his broad-mindedness, strict enforcement of laws, no hassles, and no harsh taxes, he was supported by all officials and people. Except for the wealthy gentry who were "oppressed" by the new law, under Jia Cong's butcher knife, they could only admit that they were unlucky and dare to get angry. Dare not speak.

On this day, Jia Cong was shirtless and practicing martial arts in the backyard. Four soldiers carried round-headed mallets and hammered him on the chest and back, making a banging sound. All the strips of cloth wrapping the mallet had been untied, and no matter how hard the soldiers used their strength, they could not injure him in the slightest.

drink! Jia Cong exhaled loudly, with four strokes of strength. The knotted muscles that once crawled all over his body like small snakes were gone. The skin all over his body was full of energy and blood, like gold plating, tough and thick. Because of the further strengthening of the skin membrane, the muscles could no longer be found on the skin. The surface is bulging.

"Back off!" Jia Cong shouted, realizing that his time was up. He raised his arms and hit a set of Xingyi Five Elements Fist at will. His whole body was shaking, and his joints were exploding like fried beans. A random blow could have hundreds of hits. With great strength, punches and kicks flow like clouds and flowing water, heartily and without any dissatisfaction.

After Jia Cong finished a set of punches, he laughed. His skin was as gold-plated, his muscles and bones were ringing, his body was like cast iron, and his blood was surging. This was the sign of the second level of Long Yin Iron Cloth Shirt's "Golden Body Arhat". At this level, , it can be regarded as an invasion.

"Congratulations to Third Master on your great achievement!" Zhang Yuanba, Yan Shuangying and others congratulated with a busy smile.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's not a big success, just a small success."

"The third master has such martial arts skills at his age, which can be said to be unprecedented." Yan Shuangying said with a smile while wiping Jia Cong's sweat.

Jia Cong shook his head and said: "Compared with the famous generals in ancient times, I'm afraid they are still worse. By the way, is there any news in Wei?"

"I haven't heard any news recently. By the way, the five thousand recruits recruited by Deputy Shou Wang have been trained. I've seen them. They are all young and strong men with considerable combat capabilities." Yan Shuangying said.

"The crops in the fields outside the city are growing very well, and the cattle, sheep and horses raised are also fat."

"The renovation of the market has been completed, which is an unexpected surprise. I heard from You Xie Shou that because three thousand lives were cut there last time, the people around him felt that it was too murderous and sinister. When they heard that the master wanted to demolish it, They all hurriedly took the money and moved away.”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "This saves trouble."

"I heard that this year in the autumn of Liaodong, our army produced more than a dozen candidates, two or three times more than in previous years. Those ministers from the official school all said that this was the result of the great people's cultural education, and General Yang also wrote a letter of praise. .”

Hearing that there were so many candidates under his rule, Jia Cong was very happy and said with a smile: "I told you that for every candidate who is promoted to a new subject, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Tell them, don't think that you are a master if you become a candidate."

Under the new law, the gentry worked as errands and paid taxes as one body. Even if they were officials and noble families, they had to pay grain and taxes, let alone them? Anyone who is a member of the gentry and is in arrears with money or food will be removed from their official positions and allowed to take care of themselves. "

"Yes."

"Where are the two ladies?"

"Back to the third master, the eldest grandma went to the market early in the morning to take care of the business, and the second grandma went to inspect the village outside the city."

"Get it back quickly." Jia Cong pinched his chin and said, now that my kung fu is small, it's time for me to eat meat, right?

"Yes."

Not long after, the two women came back one after another and said, "Brother Jia, why are you calling us back so urgently?"

Jia Cong chuckled and pulled the two women back to the room without saying a word. "My husband officially announces that the magic has been accomplished. You two will wait for me tonight, hahaha."

"Really?" The two of them were surprised and happy.

"Realer than real gold."

That night, red candles were burning high in Jia Cong's room, and the two women were killed with fierce fighting and iron horses. They were so fragile that they begged for mercy. Only then did Jia Cong feel satisfied and ordered his troops to retreat.

"Let's see if you two goblins still dare to mess with me." Jia Cong hugged each other and said with a smile.

Sister Wanyanshan lay in his arms, her cheeks flushed, and they said angrily together: "Brother Jia is good or bad, we don't accept it, let's fight another day."

Jia Cong laughed twice and gave in decisively. The Jurchens were indeed fierce and could not be offended. Before their kung fu was perfected, they still needed to exercise restraint.

Suddenly something occurred to him, and he ordered the girl to bring him some soup.

After a while, the girl brought two bowls of soup.

Jia Cong asked suspiciously: "Is this naughty thing really useful? Will it be harmful to the body?" He doesn't want to be a father yet.

The maid said shyly: "Sir, this is a prescription prescribed by the best old doctor in the city. It is made of white nuts, angelica, cnidium, chuanxiong, amber, safflower, etc."

The doctor said that there is no harm to the body. Women have been using this prescription for contraception since ancient times. After taking one dose, you will be infertile for one year. If you take three doses in a row, you will be infertile for life. If you are trying to get pregnant, you can stop taking the medicine for one year. "

After hearing that it was a proven prescription, Jia Cong felt relieved and asked Sister Wanyanshan to get up and take the medicine.

When the maid saw the two ladies standing naked, she quickly lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Seeing that the two girls had drunk the medicine, the maid put away the bowl and seemed to run away.

The two girls lay back in Jia Cong's arms and said, "Brother Jia, don't you Han people say that having more children means you will be blessed? Why do you want to drink this?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I told you earlier, you are still young, why are you so anxious? When you become mothers in the future, why don't you be happy and stubborn for a few years now?"

Wanyanwen smiled and said, "Brother is right, I haven't been stubborn enough yet."

Wanyanshan rolled her eyes at her heartless sister, and said with a hint of worry: "But the eldest brother comes from a high family, and we are just humble barbarian girls. If we return to Beijing one day, if we have two babies, the old lady and the madam will also be happy." some."

Jia Cong shook his head and said with a smile: "Random thoughts. No matter what is high or low, they are all the same in my mind. The elderly at home can't control what I want to do, whether they are happy or not, as long as you make me happy. Wait until I return to Beijing. From now on, whether we can live together or not is still a matter of debate, what do you want to do with this?"

These two silly girls only thought about the old lady being unhappy, and they didn't want to think about Sister Bao and Zhuer being unhappy.

I am guarding the border by myself, and my confidante at home is worried every day. It is already a bit difficult to explain when I bring two eldest girls back, but if I bring two children back, I am afraid that Sister Yibao's grace and generosity will also make her angry? It's better not to get into trouble with this, after all, we have to face people, Jia Cong thought to himself.
