The road ahead was blocked by a wooden fence, and there were tall trees on the left and right sides. Sharp thorns were planted between the gaps, covering the eyes. The gentle sunlight shone through the gaps, and the air was filled with a rich fragrance of flowers. Bees and butterflies were dancing among the flowers, with endless vitality.

Jiang Anyi stopped. In my memory, this place was once a wild pond and wasteland. After two years, it had completely changed. There was someone guarding the wooden fence, and he greeted Jiang Anyong with a smile and said, "Second Master, you are here."

Walking into the wooden fence, a graceful arc highlighted in front of everyone. It was the village wall of the Jiang family. This village wall is about two miles long, with cliffs at the ends at both ends, like a barrier that holds the valley in your arms.

The village wall is about two meters high, which looks more majestic than the city wall of the county town. There is a patrolman on the top of the wall. When people come, someone put down the suspension bridge and lay it on the river protection more than ten meters wide. Jiang Anyong proudly introduced to Siyu beside him: "The water in the river protection is full of living water, from the waterfalls in the mountains, and there are fish. I will take you to see the waterfall later, which is so beautiful."

The village wall is more than 1 meter wide, and the surface is full of stones. Seeing that my brother beat the wall with his hands, Jiang Anyong smiled and said, "Brother, these stones are more than one foot wide, and they are all made of soil. Mr. Zhang taught the method, and he only had one eye to stab it with a gun, which is very firm."

Mr. Zhang, Zhang Keji, the Lu family abandoned son, hasn't seen him for nearly a year. Jiang Anyi asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you used to living here? By the way, I've been busy these days and haven't seen Zhen'er much. Where has she been?"

Jiang Anyong smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang lives in the village, and he is in charge of the affairs in the village. Zhen'er and Yan'er are the best. They are inseparable from each other. If you want to find Zhen'er, you have to ask Yan'er."

Yan'er wrinkled her little nose and smiled, "I want to accompany my sister-in-law. You are busy playing with Sister Siyu. Sister Zhen knows that she can't go to find her brother at this time, so of course she has to accompany her father in the village."

Zhang (Lu)zhen is three years younger than Yan'er. Yan'er has a younger sister and loves her very much. She wants to give her any delicious food and fun. When Zhen'er was young, she suffered a lot of hardships. After coming to the Jiang family, she felt warmth that she had never felt before. Naturally, she regarded the Jiang family as her family.

While speaking, everyone walked through the village wall, and a busy scene appeared before their eyes: the original wild pond was filled, the pool was moved to the foot of the mountain in the south, and a waterfall flew down from above and fell into the deep pool; the open space was neatly planned by three vertical and three vertical roads, and rows of houses were built in the square, and clothes were drying in the front yard of the house, which seemed to be the residence of the workshop workers.

Jiang Anyi was a little surprised. He looked around and saw dozens of acres of land full of crowded land. Where did the winery and perfume shops go? Just as he was suspicious, a group of people came over on the middle road, carrying Zhang Keji, the silver mask on his face shining in the sun.

A girl next to Zhang Keji was Zhen'er. She hadn't seen her for a year. Zhen'er had grown a lot taller and her face was beautiful in the foreign land. Seeing Jiang Anyi, Zhang Zhen trotted over to meet him, hugging Jiang Anyi tightly without hesitation, without saying anything, and tears kept falling.

Jiang Anyi leaned down and touched Zhen'er's head and said, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy when you see your brother?"

Zhen'er's tears surged even more, and she shook her head desperately, and after a long time, she choked up and said, "Happy... I'm happy."

Zhang Keji stepped forward and bowed, "I have met my lord's mother. Zhang congratulated my lord on her wedding, but Zhang's image is terrifying. He can only pay a cup of lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord

Jiang Anyi held Zhang Keji's hand and said, "I feel wronged."

Lingwei heard Jiang Anyi talk about Zhang Keji's origin and knew that he was her husband's right-hand man. This person was in charge of the family's property. Piaopiao said, "I've met Mr."

"I dare not, I dare not," Zhang Keji returned the favor and said with a smile: "Lord, everyone, let's talk inside."

Zhang Keji led the way in. Jiang Anyi still couldn't find the workshop all the way. When he reached the end of the house, he suddenly realized. It turned out that five large holes were dug on the mountain wall. Zhang Keji pointed to the cave and introduced with a slight hint: "Lord, in order to protect the winemaking and perfume industry from being stolen by outsiders, Zhang Keji specially moved the workshop into the cave. Please see, the leftmost hole is used to store grain, the second hole is the wine shop, the middle is the wine cellar, the fourth hole is the perfume shop, and the fifth hole contains some debris."

There is an iron gate in front of each cave. There are guards in front of the gate day and night. Jiang Anyi visited several caves accompanied by Zhang Keji and found that the caves are very large. Zhang Keji said on the side: "Master, I found that these mountains are bluestone rocks. I thought of using them to build village walls. Later, I dug deep holes. Zhang had an idea and simply used these holes for warehouse use. Lord, this grain storage cave was dug deep underground, and it can store at least 5,000 stones of grain. Now there are 2,000 stones of various grains."

Jiang Anyi was shocked. Two thousand stones of grain were more than 200,000 kilograms, and the whole family could not eat so much grain in their lifetime. Walking out of the grain storage cave and coming to the winery, Jiang Anyi found that the winery had penetrated the top of the mountain to light and ventilate, and there was a torch inside, so he was not stuffy.

Seeing Jiang Anyi paying attention to the top of the mountain, Zhang Keji smiled and said, "Lord, the mountain top of the winery is relatively short. I have paved the Mingwa ceiling at the top of the mountain by digging through the mountain. All these Mingwa ceilings were purchased from the Western Regions. This place and the Mingwa ceiling in the Perfume House cost 100,000 taels of silver."

Jiang Anyi took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Sir, you are such a money-spending expert." No wonder Zhang Keji spent more than 700,000 taels of silver. He dug mountains and lighting were all made of silver, but the things in this copycat could not be paid to the Yu family and Guo family.

"Lord, it's not unfair to spend these 100,000 taels of silver. Come and see, the winery is divided into four places..." Zhang Keji took him to look from the steamed steamer, and walked through the drying hall where the green bricks were paved with half-cooked grain, followed by huge wine jars trapped in the field, and finally the steamer was guarding the heavily, distilled and condensed the brewed wine into a "burning knife".

Jiang Anyong took a breath intoxicatedly and sighed: "Every time I am willing to come here the most. This smells much more than the fragrance of flowers."

Jiang Anyi glared at him and said to Jiang Huangshi: "Mom, you have to watch An Yong and don't let him drink, otherwise you will become an alcoholic."

Jiang Anyong glanced at Siyu and argued: "Brother, you blamed me for wrongly. Mom only allowed me to drink half a pound a day. Uncle Zhang was even more stingy. It was harder to ask for wine from him than to pull out the feathers on the iron rooster."

Everyone laughed out loud after saying something, and Zhang Keji said, "Second Master, I'm not doing this for your own good. You have heard from your lord, and you don't allow you to drink. I always have to listen to your lord's orders."

Jiang Anyi, the wine cellar, did not go in, but asked about the production and sales volume. The idle people in the perfume shop were not allowed to enter. Zhang Keji said: "The fragrance pickers inside are all selected confidants from the three families. I asked them to take a shower and change clothes every day according to what the lord said. The flower juice made was made by me personally. Even the Yu family and the Guo family did not know the prescription."

Jiang Anyi nodded without saying a word. Perfume is the source of wealth of the Jiang family and the foundation of his life. He is not careless at all.

It was getting late, and Jiang Anyi asked his family to go back first. This time he came not only for a visit, but also for discussion with Zhang Keji. Jiang Huang took Lingwei, Dong'er and others back. Yan'er then muttered in her ear, and it seemed that there was something good to keep for her sister. Zhen'er was obviously moved by Yan'er, so she greeted Zhang Keji and followed everyone back to Jiang's house.

Zhang Keji's residence is in front of the fifth cave. The three houses are clean and clean. The house is sitting in the main house and a maid sends tea. It seems that Jiang Huang is very caring for Mr. Zhang's daily life. After a few gossips, Zhang Keji said: "The lord is here to lose his official position. I am afraid that someone will covet the industry and feel worried."

Jiang Anyi nodded, frowned, and sighed: "The profit of perfume is too great, so some people will inevitably have their thoughts. I will not hide it from you. In Kyoto, the son of Duke Wen of Wen, wanted to ask for shares, but all kinds of troubles arise afterwards. I am not afraid, I am just afraid that it will affect my family and wealth will become the root cause of trouble."

Zhang Keji smiled and said, "My lord is a good idea. The wealth without power will only attract people's covetousness. I'm afraid our county magistrate will be the first to get up to the point. However, lord, don't worry, the predicament in front of you is only temporary."

"Oh, sir, teach me."

Zhang Keji pointed to the tea and said, "Lord, this is the new tea sent by Anlong Temple this year. The old lady treats Zhang well. First, I will bring it to me. The lord tastes the taste. The fragrance is elegant and the aftertaste is sweet. The lord really has a good eye and knows that there is such a good tea in the mountains."

Jiang Anyi was a little ignorant of the taste, so he drank a sip of tea randomly and asked, "Mr. Just now, the dilemma is only temporary, I don't know what to do?"

Zhang Keji smiled and said, "Lord, don't be anxious. Let Zhang slowly tell you. I have heard of the imperial edict. There are a few points worth pondering. First, it is that it is demoted to a commoner and does not say it will no longer be hired. This shows that the emperor is beating you, not really trying to demote you."

"Second, the palace's order should be issued after the Yuan Dynasty. The congratulations from the Empress, the Crown Prince, Zhu Taiwei, Duke Shen and others should be issued at about the same time. If the emperor really wants to punish the lord, how could these people's congratulations come?"

Jiang Anyi was excited and said, "Yes, the officialdom is well-informed. If you really annoy me, these gifts will be recovered even if they are given. Two days ago, I received a letter from Master Yu to ask me to be calm and devote myself to studying."

"Since Lord Yu has this letter, Zhang can conclude that as long as half a year or as long as two years, the lord will definitely recover." Zhang Keji said with confidence. To be honest, after seeing the power, Jiang Anyi had a deep understanding of "destroying the family prefecture and destroying the county magistrate". As a commoner, the reputation of some scholars and gangs is not enough to fight against those who covet.

Zhang Keji put down the teacup, wiped his beard and put on the water seed, and said, "Based on my understanding of today's son, I am eager for success and have no kindness, but I am not stupid. The lord's talent is seen by everyone in the world, and I have made so many contributions over three years. I believe that the upright minister in the court will definitely say it to the lord. This time, the lord and the lord are hiding something from the emperor. The emperor feels that he is deceived, so he will deliberately suppress you and let you realize that the lord's power cannot be deceived. When you want to use people, the lord will definitely think of the lord."

Jiang Anyi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Jiang is confused when he cares about it. After hearing what the teacher said, he feels much more at ease. If he really has two years, he can take a break and spend time with his family."
