Chapter 292 Missing on the Grassland

Jia Rong went back and patted the table with people from the Ministry of Industry, "What do people in the shipyard do for food?"

"Those laymen in the south of the Yangtze River can just get a boat out and reach the north in a month.

Our boat is still walking slowly in the inland river, which is simply a joke."

"Without pressure, there is no motivation. As expected, it's time for Jiangnan to set up a shipyard."

……

The Qiu newsboy followed the boss and appeared near the deepest water area of ​​the Liaohe River.

The scout came to report: "The steamship has appeared ahead and will dock soon. The water level here is too shallow, so they may be slower to approach."

Mr. Ba: "Camp on the spot and wait for the ship to dock."

The water level at the edge of the grassland is still relatively deep, and it is difficult for a small steamship to pass. If a large ship comes, a small boat will be needed to carry food.

The Lao Kang family's steamboat stumbled all the way to its destination, repairing and running at the same time. If it weren't for the help of the Shen family, they really wouldn't have been able to reach the prairie.

The general shouted, "Prepare planks, the ship is about to dock." He called the soldiers to gather and prepare to carry food.

Thousands of soldiers from different ethnic groups gathered near the shore.

This was the first time for the captive soldiers on the prairie to see a steamship.

"What is this?"

"A bit like an iron lump."

"Brother, why is this thing smoking?"

The soldiers who passed by Kyoto laughed at each other as a country bumpkin, "This is a steamship, idiot."

Boss: "Get on the boat and move the food."

Lao Kang and a group of brothers came out to greet the boss and say good things to each other.

After all the food was brought ashore, the chief ordered people to kill sheep to celebrate Lao Kang's arrival.

Lao Kang took out the ink pad and said, "General, please stamp it to prove that we have delivered the food."

"Lao Kang, you are really amazing, even in such a dangerous place"

Without saying anything, the boss took it over and stamped it with two seals.

Lao Kang and others were happy. With this seal, their ship was on the right track.

From now on, if you can make a lot of money by traveling on waterways, you will no longer have to worry about confiscating your boats.

"Come, let's eat meat. We cannot drink because of military discipline. When we return to Kyoto, we will treat you to a nice drink."

Lao Kang and others laughed and kept asking about the war on the grassland.

The grassland is always quiet. After being far away from the camp, there is no noise except the occasional sound of insects.

At this time, the newspaper boy in Qiu will sing "Newspaper Selling Song", remembering his mother far away in Kyoto, the street snacks in Kyoto, and the editorial staff who quarreled over a single article.

The two men who were following the newsboy also groaned together, "La la la! La la la! I am a little expert in selling newspapers. I ran all over the street in the wind and rain. I couldn't walk well and slipped..."

"If there is a situation, get down quickly."

They saw a team moving this way from a distance.

Qiu Baotong ordered one person to go back to report the news, and he took the person to hide on another leeward slope.

This position is good, it is easy to find the enemy and prevent the other party from discovering you.

"The clothes don't look like prairie people, who are they?"

Qiu Newsboy stared at them as they walked. These people seemed to be scattered, but in fact they were guarding the two children in the middle.

The clothes look like those worn by people in Kyoto in autumn, and the two children are also wearing jade pendants. This is definitely a behavior only practiced by the Han family.

What's even more frightening is that each of their guards carries the most useful firecrackers on their backs. Not everyone can have these newly developed firecrackers that can be ignited without flint.

Qiu Newsboy: "They may be the children of a certain big family. You go over there and put up the flag."

"Okay."

While still at a safe distance, Qiu's newsboy shouted: "Who is in front? You have entered our army's territory. If you don't report your name, you will be killed on the spot."

The person on the other end responded immediately: "We are the escort of Ningguo Mansion. I wonder which general is in front of us?"

The people at the other end saw the flags raised and raised their own flags.

The flag of Ningguo Mansion with gold on the black background flutters in the wind, and the big word "Jia" is eye-catching.

Qiu's newsboy put away his gun, got up and shouted: "When the flood meets the Dragon King Temple, we are all one family."

The two sides gathered together and informed each other of their whereabouts.

The leader of the guard said: "This is Jia Lanjia, the younger brother of Lord Jia of Ningguo Prefecture."

"You passed the exam!" Qiu's newspaper boy was surprised.

Jialan and Bianzhan stepped forward, "Do you know me?"

"How could I not know him? You often follow your benefactor, do bad things and blame him for it."

Everyone's attention suddenly returned to Jia Lan. Jia Lan suddenly blushed and said in embarrassment: "Just two or three times."

Bian Zhan: "I didn't expect you to be such a person. What bad things have you done? Tell me quickly."

"Shut up."

The prestige that was finally built up in the team was suddenly destroyed.

The old man in the team stepped forward and cupped his hands and asked: "My little brother calls my uncle his benefactor. Could it be that he once saved you?"

Qiu Newsboy said: "There was a big snowstorm in the fifth year of Kangping, and only two of my family members died. It was Mr. Jia who saved my mother and me."

The old man understands.

There was a severe snowstorm in the fifth year of Kangping. Countless people died due to cold and hunger, and corpses were everywhere in the suburbs of Kyoto.

It was Jia Rong who defied all opinions, gave speeches on the streets of Kyoto and performed miracles, and was able to raise a large amount of food and cotton-padded clothes to help the victims tide over the difficulties.

Qiu Newsboy said: "After the disaster, he ordered me to be brought to the newspaper office and made me a newsboy."

He said proudly: "I am the person who sells the most newspapers in Kyoto!"

The old man smiled and said, "In this case, I deserve to be called your benefactor."

The old man was Liu Yingshan, the mountain chief of the Jia family clan school. Because Jia Lan was going to travel, Jia Rong accepted Liu Yingshan as a disciple and promised to promote the Liu family's nephew.

Liu Yingshan also admired Jia Rong as a person and was willing to become a guest of Ningguo Mansion.

"They are coming." The captain said warily.

Qiu Newsboy looked back and said naturally: "They are our people, they are all our own people."

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the boss. He's very easy to talk to."

Lao Kang also didn't expect to see people from Jia's family on the prairie.

All the way from my hometown to the prairie, whenever I was lonely, everyone would talk about Mr. Jia.

"What does Mr. Jia look like?"

"I heard that he was a person favored by the gods, so he made fertilizer and feed."

"He also proposed the steamship." Lao San admired him.

The more this person talks, the more they admire Mr. Jia. Facing the younger brothers of Mr. Jia’s family, they can’t let go.

The general asked Jia Lan: "Why do you want to come to this dangerous prairie?"

Jialan said: "Because we believe in you.

Your army went deep into the enemy's hometown and drove away the barbarians harassing the border. If we don't record your deeds, how will future generations know about your heroic deeds?"

"Hahaha, the Juren master really knows how to joke."

Jia Lan: If Brother Rong hadn’t confiscated my script and kicked me out, I wouldn’t have come.

Those who read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles are all lies.
