Poor family mother and son

Chapter 37 Plan
Chu Qing was free, really free.The work of the school kitchen is currently transferred to Zhang Erni.Zhang Erni can earn an extra 10 Wen every day after finishing the work in the field, which makes her family relationship less tense.

Chu Qing, who was idle, began to think about the way out.This is a border town, not a place to stay for a long time, but I can't leave it for a while.Now as a refugee, he can settle in the village, but he cannot enter the city.If you want to change to the mainland, you can't guarantee your safety on the road.

Since you can't leave, you have to find a way for yourself to be more stable.Chu Qing now has 1000 taels of silver.This is not a small amount. According to the prices here, good land is only 7 taels per mu, common land is 5 taels per mu, and wasteland is one tael per mu.With Chu Qing's money, he could buy a lot of land.But no, who bought the land and planted it?The villagers here are almost unable to grow their own land, and there are too few males.

Xiaobao is playing with his Hsinchu tube pen.Xiaobao likes the smallest one very much. It is just right for his little hand to hold, and there is a bamboo joint less than an inch away from the nib. Even if his little hands are sweaty, his fingers will not slip on the nib.

Xiaobao draws on paper with a pen.Chu Qing couldn't think about things, so he came to watch Xiaobao draw.Xiaobao seems to be painting mountains.The lines are too simple.Xiaobao drew two dots in the east and west in the line representing the mountain.

"What is this? Spring eyes?" Chu Qing tried his best to guess Xiaobao's "creative idea".Suddenly, there was a small bell in the brain that "jingled": Isn't this, this is the map in the boots of those Donglun fake rogues!A map representing iron ore!
Chu Qing picked up the "painting": "Xiaobao, is that the iron mine location map you drew?"

Xiaobao nodded.This picture... Xiaobao has a good memory!Chu Qing looked at the map and smiled, my money has somewhere to spend!

"Xiaobao, let's have a small meeting." Chu Qing regarded Xiaobao as an adult.Xiaobao nodded solemnly.

"People don't have long-term considerations, so they must have near-term worries. We can't make long-term plans. But we need to plan for the immediate future." Chu Qing said.Xiao Bao nodded again, he thought so too.

"It's not the time when we first came here. At that time, we were penniless, and food was a problem." Chu Qing paused, recalling how he looked like more than ten days ago.

"But now we have 1000 taels of silver. We need to use it. This is a border town and it's not peaceful, but we won't be able to walk for a while. It's not safe to go on the road. We need to use this 1000 taels to do something, let money make money, we With more money, you can hire bodyguards, you can change places, and you can live a better life." Chu Qing said simply, afraid that the child would not be able to understand.

"I want to open a blacksmith shop, a bigger one!" Chu Qing stated his purpose.

"The wasteland here is only 1 tael and 1 mu. We can't spend much money to buy a piece of land. We still need to build a blacksmith's house, build a smelting furnace, hire blacksmiths, and process incoming materials."

Chu Qing pointed to Xiaobao's "painting" again: "Look, this map of Zhizhou must be reported to the imperial court. The state does not allow private mining, so the imperial court must send people to explore and mine. It can't mine the mine again. Send them all the way to the capital, and ship the weapons and farm tools all the way back, right? The mine is close to us, if we open a blacksmith shop nearby, we will definitely get a lot of business." Chu Qing is confident. Man Man, "1000 taels of silver is definitely enough to build a big blacksmith shop!"

Xiao Bao showed no expression, but he stood up and went to the sundry shelf, grabbed the writing brush with the bank note, took out one, and stuffed it into Chu Qing's hand.

100 taels is one hundred acres of land.enough!
Jizhou State Yamen House.

When Song Tingshan returned to the back house, Mrs. Song greeted him: "Master is back."

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!"

Before Song Tingshan could speak to his wife, shouts came into the main hall. "This kid!" Mrs. Song said with a smile.Xu Guangze hurriedly stepped into the threshold, behind him was a helpless butler.

"Go down." Song Tingshan motioned to the housekeeper.

"Brother-in-law, I found two Fengshui masters. There are too few people doing this here. I traveled several counties just to find these two Fengshui masters." Xu Guangze grabbed the teacup on the table and killed them in one gulp.He really doesn't look like a magistrate.

"It doesn't matter. We are just exploring the terrain first. The report has been sent out. It is estimated that the emperor already knows about it at this moment, and the court will send people down soon."

"Come here, I've brought everyone here, why don't you go and have a look?" Xu Guangze is a man of action.

"Yo, busy!" Hong Liang strode in.The last rescue operation brought Hong Liang and Song Tingshan closer.In the past, it was just an ordinary colleague relationship, but now there is a layer of life-threatening friendship.Song Tingshan and Xu Guangze hurriedly got up and saluted.

Hong Liang is the second-rank Fuguo general who came to Jizhou to guard the border town as the commander-in-chief.So for the fifth-rank Zhizhou and the seventh-rank magistrate, it is necessary to salute, no matter how close the relationship is.

Hong Liang waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be too polite, and said to Song Tingshan directly: "My dear brother, I have brought the guards you want. Just in time for the meal, you arranged for it, and I didn't eat it."

Of course Song Tingshan responded immediately.Hong Liang said:
"I should have made a memorial to explain the matter of Cao Wang, but Cao Wang is now in your prison, and nothing more has been found. You know everything I know about this matter, so why don't you report it directly, it's over We just need to sign together. Also, the team escorting Cao Wang, you go and see it later.”

Generals do things quickly.

"You guys are chatting, I'll tell the back kitchen to stew pigeons at noon." Mrs. Song said goodbye.

"Let's go, let's go to the study first, Guang Guang, you come too." Song Tingshan led them to the study.The three of them recounted the whole process of the matter together, and after reorganizing their thoughts, they discovered one thing: the cause of the matter was that the bandits entered the village, and from here onwards, the whole incident was participated by Chu Qing, and it was very important.

"Lady Yuan is a character!" Song Tingshan said.

"That's right! I was shocked by this incident. That day, a group of wounded people from Wukeshu Village escorted a group of bandits and dragged a dead man into the city, and Mr. Xie followed." Xu Guangze gritted his teeth: " That scene, tsk!"

"The teacher is here too?" Song Tingshan really didn't know about it. Xu Guangze didn't mention it when he reported to him last time, and the focus at that time was on that map.

"That's right! Mr. Xie is here too, and thanks to him, otherwise, I wouldn't have understood what the village chiefs said for a long time! Later, I understood, and it turned out that this group of people came for the mine, but they were still A woman was interrogated. I asked Mr. Xie how the interrogation was conducted. Mr. Xie only said that Mrs. Yuan was going to stop their fluke, and he didn’t know anything else. Even the villagers didn’t know. Are you crazy?” Xu Guangze is still unbelievable.

"I didn't know Master Hong was under control because people from the secret investigation department came to the door and intercepted me at the gate of the General Military Mansion." Song Tingshan also recalled.

"I haven't been able to pass on the news. The thief Cao Wang only gave me one cornbread and one bowl of water every day, and I suffered from stomach problems again. Then Mrs. Yuan came. It was still an excuse to borrow money from the toilet," Hong Liang also said. He said, he felt that ordinary women would not have the guts not to speak up, and they would not be able to come up with such...that kind of excuses.

"I thought that the staff of the secret investigation department could steal Mr. Hong out smoothly, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome." Song Tingshan felt that this rescue operation should have more luck.

Master Hong also felt the same way: "Cao Wang knew about the iron mine, so he became anxious and sent many people to my yard to force me to hand in the military talisman. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome. Thanks to Mrs. Yuan, otherwise Even if you try to get me out, my family will not be able to keep it, and many people will be lost. Brother Song, you have to mention this matter in the memorial. The old man owes a big favor."

"That's right, Mrs. Yuan went out and rescued my wife and sister-in-law's wife, and brought a nest with her hand. What can ordinary people do? If the reaction is slow, the shopkeeper of Huasheng Pavilion will have to run away. .” Song Tingshan agreed.

"Oh, talent! What do you think we are most lacking in Daxuan? It's not money, it's talent!" Xu Guangze concluded.

On the second day after the memorial was issued, Cao Wang was escorted to the capital.
