Chapter 142 Three people play Landlord.
Chapter 142 Three people play Landlord.
Ye Kun had already closed the door and laughed softly:
"No one knows about the affairs in the boudoir, so why should you be afraid? Come, I will teach you how to play a game, poker, Landlord."
Playing cards couldn't be made because there was no suitable paper.
However, Ye Kun asked a bamboo craftsman to make fifty-four bamboo cards based on the style of mahjong, which can also be used to play Landlord.
Jiang Yourong and Yuejuan reluctantly boarded Ye Kun's pirate ship together.
Ye Kun explained the rules of Landlord and the three of them started the game.
The bamboo cards were placed on the table, making a snapping sound, and there was constant laughter.
After midnight, the three of them finally had their fun and blew out the lights to go to rest.
Yourong and Yuejuan, the two sisters have always respected each other, but they are never close enough.
Every time they met, they were both somewhat reserved and polite.
Tonight, Ye Kun broke the reserve of Jiang Yourong and Yuejuan, allowing them to be honest with each other. The relationship between the two sisters took a big step forward.
The first day of the new year.
Ye Kun got up in high spirits.
Yuejuan and Jiang Yourong had gotten up earlier and were making breakfast in the kitchen, chatting and laughing.
After playing a game last night, the two of them lost all their reserve and felt much more relaxed.
Ye Kun came over and said with a smile: "Yourong, you two sisters are so close, why don't you just move here in the future. The house here is bigger and it will be more convenient for us."
Yuejuan smiled evilly: "Kunlang, if you ask Sister Yourong to move in, I will be happy to serve you as a maid."
Jiang Yourong also smiled: "I will move in tonight and wait for Miss Yuejuan to serve me."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Yuejuan, kiss Sister Yourong as a deposit, so that she can't deny it."
Yue Juan smiled and said, "I'm afraid Sister You Rong will bite my tongue, so I'll ask Kun Lang to do it for me. You're good at this."
Jiang Yourong squinted at Yuejuan and said, "Little girl, it was you, Kunlang, who bit your tongue last night, not me."
"It's pitch dark, how can I know if it's you?"
Yuejuan prepared a plate of pancakes and handed it to Ye Kun: "Go out and eat, Kunlang. Sister Yourong and I need to talk privately."
Ye Kun chuckled, took the cake and left without disturbing the sisters' affection.
After breakfast, Ye Kun took Jiang Yourong and Yuejuan to pay New Year's greetings.
First he visited Jiang Yourong's parents, then he went to various camps to visit the elders and fellow villagers, and then he went to the military camps and the craftsmen's camp.
The barracks and the craftsmen's camp were all on holiday, but there were still a large number of people left behind.
There is no lively atmosphere during the New Year celebrations in the Dading Kingdom.
There are no big red couplets, no big red lanterns, no fireworks, no red envelopes or various delicacies.
Fortunately, Ye Kun spent money lavishly and arranged for the supply of fish, meat and eggs, so that everyone had a good meal.
Every time he arrived at a place, Ye Kun encouraged and encouraged everyone:
"Dear fellow countrymen, dear brothers and sisters, I, Ye Kun, will do everything I can to ensure that everyone has enough food and clothing, and that each year will be better than the last. I hope that you will all work together to support me and work hard so that everyone can become a wealthy man!
After the New Year, when spring comes and flowers bloom, we will distribute a large number of oxen and horses, a large number of various farm tools, and organize a large army to help everyone tidy up the farmland. From now on, we want to have a good harvest, surplus every year, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment! "
The villagers were moved to tears and shouted in unison: "Lord Ye loves the people like his own children. He is a true father and mother official!"
Because Ye Kun never wrote blank checks and always helped everyone with real money, the villagers and soldiers all believed in Ye Kun.
Ye Kun nodded and said with a smile: "So, everyone should be happier and smile more, because good days are still to come!"
Everyone in the refugee camp laughed.
There are five consecutive days of holidays.
But senior generals and senior craftsmen are still working overtime.
Ye Kun has already made three models of the curved plow and started testing.
On the sixth day of the New Year, farming experts such as Ye Qingyang and Qin Chou were invited to witness the efficiency of the curved plow.
After several adjustments, the curved plow broke through the soil and moved forward smoothly.
After the ox-plowing experiment was completed, horse-plowing was tried next.
Horses can also plow the land, but they are not as strong as oxen and can only plow loose soil and paddy fields.
The experiment was successful. Ye Kun patted Ye Qingyang on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Go and organize some villagers to form a team to promote the technology of "one ox to pull pears". After the New Year, I will give you a working ox and an old horse, and you will be responsible for the promotion."
Ye Qingyang frowned: "I also have to farm at home, I'm afraid I don't have time."
"I'll give you the money if I have it, or convert it into rice."
Ye Kun rolled his eyes: "Each farmer should get two catties of rice and two ounces of meat every day, is that enough?"
Ye Qingyang finally smiled: "That's no problem."
Ye Kun worked on-site and appointed Ye Qingyang and Qin Chou to be fully responsible for agricultural production and agricultural technology promotion, recruit one hundred ox-plough workers, and learn new technologies.
The craftsmen's camp stepped up production and created and produced various farm tools, including plows, shovels, shoulder poles, hemp ropes, wicker baskets, bamboo farm tools, jars, cans, sacks, and so on.
The carpenters also had to make a new saddle and stirrups for Ye Kun, and then ask the leatherworkers to cover them with pigskin and cowhide.
So the craftsmen are very busy and have endless work to do.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, all production activities resumed.
In fact, during the Spring Festival, the construction of a new village in Xiping Mountain has been ongoing, and it was organized spontaneously by the refugees.
After all, it is building your own home.
On the eighth night of the New Year, Ye Kun arranged all the work of production and military training, discussed with Jiang Yourong, and prepared to go to Tianmen City tomorrow to discuss important matters with Shangguan Jifu.
The second sister Youde asked, "Brother-in-law, is Tianmen City very big? Is it fun?"
"Of course it's fun. Do you want me to take you to play?" Ye Kun said with a smile.
"I..." The second sister was shy and looked at her elder sister.
Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "Second sister, you can go to Tianmen City with your brother-in-law. He is outside and needs someone to wait on him. I will feel relieved if you follow him."
Youde whispered, "I'm just worried that I won't be able to serve you well..."
"Then I'll serve you." Ye Kun smiled and took Youde's hand: "Go prepare some clothes. Our return trip will take at least three to five days."
"I'm not afraid of seven or eight days. I can't stay here any longer in Pingye County. I'm so bored!"
Youde was happy and went to prepare clothes.
Jiang Yourong looked at Ye Kun with a sly smile on her face, saying meaningfully, "Take good care of my second sister, or else, she won't be close to you anymore."
Ye Kun hugged Jiang Yourong and kissed her: "Yourong, take care of yourself too, don't get too tired."
Jiang Yourong nodded: "I'll wait for you to come back."
On the afternoon of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Kun, along with Wen Axiu and his second sister Youde, along with two hundred soldiers and a caravan, headed for Tianmen County.
There were more than twenty horse-drawn carriages, carrying some porcelain and farm tools improved by Ye Kun, as well as black gunpowder and land mines.
At dusk, we arrived at Xiping Mountain and planned to rest here for the night.
Youde was very happy when he came to Xiping Mountain for the first time. He held Ye Kun's hand and toured everywhere. He also looked around with a telescope and exclaimed: "Brother-in-law, you are here and have built a big city!"
The planned area of Xiping Mountain is much larger than that of the county town, and it really looks like a city now.
Ye Kun hugged Youde's shoulders and said with a smile: "I also plan to build a palace here. I will be the emperor and you will be the concubine. Okay?"
Youde blushed and said, "You are talking nonsense again. I will tell my sister when I get home."
"Your sister has sold you to me for three copper coins."
"Nonsense, you're only worth three copper coins..."
Youde chuckled and punched around with his little pink fists.
The two visited the major scenic spots in Xiping Mountain and returned to the camp to rest.
Wen Axiu brought Liu Hongyu, together with Tian Xiaoe's father and the chief clerk of Xipingshan, to take inventory of the warehouse accounts and sort them out.
Ye Kun brought Youde and moved into the cave camp where the ruthless bear had once lived.
Youde hesitated and asked, "But where do I sleep at night?"
"Of course we sleep on the bed. This bed is big enough for us to sleep together. When you have a nightmare at night, just hide in my arms."
"You are talking nonsense. If you continue talking nonsense, I will go out and sleep in the carriage..." Youde blushed.
