A poem was exchanged for five hundred acres of land, so Yang Xu was undoubtedly the happiest one in the banquet at the Qin Palace that night.

In addition, the happiest person is Princess Yifu Zhao Duofu.

The Qingping dial written by Yang Xu was quietly put away by Zhao Duofu, and took it back after the banquet, hid it in the boudoir. When there was no one, he would secretly take it out to appreciate it.

The King of Qin and the brothers Yang Xu were communicating with Yang Xu and giving Yang Xu a lot of land, which also allowed officials of the King of Qin to know how important Yang Xu was in the King of Qin’s heart.

Therefore, although Yang Xu did not enter the court, his status in the minds of some officials in the court was no less than that of some important officials.

The five hundred acres of land rewarded by the King of Qin were quickly transferred to Yang Xu's name.

After obtaining the land deed, Yang Xu was very excited for a while.

According to his plan, if we just wait for the beginning of the next spring, we can use these hundreds of acres of land to do a big fight.

After the end of the year, Yang Family Restaurant and Yang's perfume shop continued to open, and other stores in the imperial capital also began to open one after another, and the whole city became lively again.

Because he recently obtained 500 acres of land, Yang Xu often traveled between the imperial capital and the manor.

What made him depressed was that several heavy snow fell in the imperial capital area. After the sky was clear, the snow water melted. It was fine in the imperial capital city, which was paved with bluestone, but the road leading to the manor outside the city was muddy and extremely difficult to walk.

Without any help, Yang Xu had to stay in the imperial capital for a while, waiting for the road to dry and then go to the manor.

"If you can repair a cement road, rain and snow will not affect it... Well, if cement is made, it will be a way to make money!"

On this day, Yang Xu stayed in the small courtyard behind the Yang family restaurant and began to think about cement.

In this era, there was naturally no cement. From the smallest buildings of the people to the construction of cities, the materials used were nothing more than wood, bricks, stone, tiles, loess, lime, sand, mortar, etc.

Yang Xu knew some methods of making civil cement. Although the cement produced was not as strong as that produced by industrial assembly lines, it was enough in this era when heavy machinery was not crushed by road surfaces.

Besides, after the pre-production cement is produced, we can continue to test and improve the hardness of the cement on this basis.

Yang Xu did it when he thought of it. After the weather was clear and the road surface was slightly dry and hard, he went to the manor outside the city, and asked people to look for limestone, clay, slag, etc. needed to produce cement.

Afterwards, with the assistance of Yang Fugui, Yang Dazhi and other Yangjiazhai people, he began to conduct cement trial production.

This matter was listed as highly confidential by Yang Xu, and everything is in secret.

Now that the area of ​​the manor has expanded many times, the production base of perfume and soap is also within the manor, security has become a big problem.

The young and strong people in Yangjiazhai are only over a hundred people, most of whom are arranged to work at the Yangjia Restaurant and Yang's perfume shop, and cannot be transferred back to take care of the manor.

Although the great-grandfather guarded the manor gate and several village residents patrolled day and night, Yang Xu felt that this number of people was far from enough to protect the manor.

Yang Xu thought about it and took some time to go to the Qin Palace and ask for some manpower from the King of Qin.

Yang Family Restaurant and Yang Family Perfume Shop now have the share of the King of Qin, and the King of Qin also attaches great importance to these two industries.

Yang Xu was preparing to hand over the security work of restaurants and perfume shops and some non-critical positions to the people of the King of Qin, and he was preparing to take back some of the villagers from Yangjiazhai.

The people of Yangjiazhai, regardless of gender, age, have almost practiced martial arts, and have strong single combat power.

But as the saying goes, killing the master's tutor by random punches. In Yang Xu's opinion, individual bravery will never be as good as group combat.

Just like the master in this world, although he is strong, if he faces multiple first-class masters who cooperate with tacit understanding and have a good offense and defense, he may not necessarily have a chance of winning.

So after Yang Xu surveyed the powerful Yangjiazhai village back to the manor, he invited several elite troops from the Qin King, formulated a set of offensive and defensive formations similar to those of the army that cooperated with each other, and conducted strict training.

Near the imperial capital, if a team of nearly 100 masters can be trained and then rigorously trained to reach the level of one hundred people and a tacit cooperation, it will undoubtedly be a considerable force.

As long as you do not encounter established attacks from the military, using this force to protect the Yang Family Manor should be more than enough.

The cement development work was carried out in an orderly manner, and Yang Xu personally participated in it, so he did not appear in the imperial capital for a long time.

So many people began to speculate that Yang Xu was "missed" during this period and was likely to be fiddling with some money-making business.

There are also some powerful people in the imperial capital who are considering looking for Yang Xu to see if there is any opportunity to cooperate.

After all, Yang Xu is known as the little god of wealth, and every business he does not only makes money, but also makes huge profits.

There were also some ministers who were highly powerful in the court, sighing and thinking that if the Qin Prince's Mansion had not intervened, Yang Xu's restaurant and perfume shop business would have been divided up long ago.

As for Yang Xu, since he had openly surrendered to the King of Qin, there was no need to hide anything and avoid anything.

Yang Xu was a white-robed man. The King of Qin was dating him, and he was not afraid of being attacked by the court officials.

On the day the cement development was successful, Yang Xu invited the King of Qin to visit Yangjiazhuang.

The King of Qin did not know what cement was, but when he heard Yang Xu say that if this thing was successfully studied, it would be of great significance and would be a good thing for the country and the people, he went there happily.

The King of Qin's trip attracted the attention of many interested people, and even Emperor Qinglong in the palace became somewhat interested.

"Bang'er visited the Yang Family Manor in person, which shows that what Yang Xu had fiddled with this time must be something he was very interested in. Well, Xiao Dezi, please pay attention to me and see what new things Yang Xu had created..."

Emperor Qinglong instructed the eunuch Sun De.

Sun De bowed and said that.

Although Sun De was just an old eunuch, he was the one who had been with Emperor Qinglong for the longest time. Emperor Qinglong trusted him more than anyone else.

In addition, the Jinyiwei under Sun De was everywhere and everywhere. Anything that was irrefutable inside and outside the imperial capital could not escape his ears.

Therefore, no court official in Zhao State dared to underestimate Sun De, and respected him and feared him.

The news that the King of Qin went to the Yang Family Manor could not be hidden from the news that the prince and King of Jin, who had heard many ears, sent people to pay close attention to the matter.

What Yang Xu did not expect was that he invited the King of Qin, but when the King of Qin arrived at the Yang family manor, he found Zhao Duobao and Zhao Duofu in the Qin King's ceremonial war.
