Poor family mother and son

Chapter 538

Chu Qing did return to Jizhou.

Because Xiaobao's letter said that a batch of jade was being transported to Xinlunzhou, she had to go back to Baolu Group first and pick out two carvers trained by Master Lu who knew jade to bring them.

By the way, let them customize the toolbox.

Chu Qing made a toolbox for himself, and there are many kinds of tools in it, some of which still need to be assembled.

Xiaobao's letter mentioned smoke bombs, Chu Qing thought, he can make it himself, so the toolbox is very important, and try to get it out as soon as possible.

Because of the haste of leaving at that time, and the sudden return now, Mr. Xie felt uneasy, so he specially took Wu Dalang to see Chu Qing, to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Chu Qing didn't want to tell them that he was almost unable to come back, but only said that there was some urgent matter in the capital, which had already been taken care of, and the emperor gave him a reward.

Just donated the 1000 taels of silver rewarded by the emperor to the school.

Mr. Xie's family are truly noble people.

No matter what Chu Qing sent back these years, whether it was money or things, he used it in his studies, including New Year's rituals.

After Xiaobao passed the examination as a scholar, he said that he was enlightened in Mr. Xie's village, which caused many surrounding villages to send their children to school.

Later, Qiusheng also passed the examination as a scholar, and two scholars came out of one village, and the village school became famous all at once.

As a result, some wealthy families came to their homes and hired Mr. Xie to be a teacher in their homes with a lot of money.

Even wealthy people came to talk with the heads of the three villages about investing in village schools.

They want to buy the village school, firstly to add a good reputation to their family, and secondly, they want to use the "outstanding people" here to set up an academy.

I heard that there is a very famous "Qinggang Academy" in the south of the Yangtze River. Why can't there be a full-time high-end academy in the north that takes students at all stages from enlightenment to imperial examinations?

Mr. Xie did not agree to all this, but stayed here steadfastly to teach the children in the village. Under the leadership of Wu Dalang, the three villages were not moved by the money and wantonly expanded the village school.

The school is a place for teaching and educating people, not a place for making profits or gaining prestige. Even if it is only a village school, the three villages are serious about maintaining it. They do not accept investment from anyone because they are afraid of losing their right to speak.

If those rich people really want to take the initiative, will the children in the village still go to school?People will recruit children with more "money prospects".

Every year, Chu Qing donates a sum of money to the village school for repairing the school building, purchasing school aids and books. This year is only halfway through, and Chu Qing gave money again, but Mr. Xie did not agree.

"After all, there are more children now, which is different from before," Chu Qing said. "In the past few years, there have been many children in every village, and there will be more and more children."

If you look at this time travel as a game, then Wukeshu Village is the "birthplace" and "novice village" of the two game IDs, Chu Qing and Xiaobao.

Here, although there are some minor unpleasantness, it is mostly the shelter and care from the villagers.

Especially for Xiaobao's enlightenment education, Mr. Xie has worked very hard.

Chu Qing has always been very grateful to them, so she can do as much as she can.

In addition, Chu Qing also has a layer of selfishness that is still in a vague state: if one day she "rolls over", Chu Qing hopes that Xiaobao can still get care from "Xinshou Village".

This trip to Kyoto made Chu Qing feel even more urgent. She not only wants to develop "Xinshou Village" into a place where Xiaobao can live in seclusion and avoid the world, but she will continue to choose some simple and relatively secluded mountain villages for her. little treasure.

To make money, Xiaobao’s life is still long, so he needs to be given a relatively affluent material life; he also needs to choose where to live, so that he can spend his life safely.

After arranging the affairs here, Chu Qing went to Chu's residence in Jizhou.

One is to pack up the things to be brought, and the other is to go to the board of directors to find out.

As a result, deputy Jiang Qianhu told her that Qi Zhizhou sent people to her home yesterday to deliver a lot of large ice cubes, which almost emptied the ice cellar in the state government office, and bought a lot from several families with ice cellars.

In the end, it was still not enough for two months. The state government brought back a lot of saltpeter from other places today, probably because they wanted Chu Qing to use it to top up.

"I heard," Deputy Jiang Qianhu said mysteriously, "Master Qi told the waiter Lan who delivered the decree that he would send you enough ice for two months, but there was nothing left in the official cellar of the state government. How much, I went to Minjiao to buy it again, I was very anxious, I was afraid I didn't want to see you;
It's a pity that ice is so easy to find, and no one has many;

Later, when he saw those small vendors using saltpeter to make iced drinks, he got an idea and asked people to go to the Shanhui Mansion to buy it. There are saltpeter mines there, and it is cheaper;
You've had a better time this year. I've heard that although saltpeter can't make big ice cubes, it can make small crushed ice. You have to give me a [-]% discount on the ice drinks at Cheong Wa Dae. "

Unexpectedly, Vice President Jiang Qianhu was quite economically savvy.

Nitre!It was given by Zhizhou, after passing Minglu!

When you doze off, someone will give you a pillow!
Chu Qing thought that saltpeter, which can make gunpowder, should be strictly controlled by the government, but he didn't expect that people would give it away casually.

In fact, this point is too much to worry about.

There are many saltpeter mines in Daxuan, but the manufacture and application of gunpowder is still in a relatively backward state, so saltpeter mines are not valued as much as iron ore.

This added to Chu Qing's thoughts: Explosives must be used.

What are smoke bombs?

The basic raw materials are clear and can be easily obtained.

Take sulfur for example. When I was looking for water sources for Da Da and his army, I found several sulfur-type hot springs.

Now I know that there is a natural saltpeter mine in Shanhui Mansion; a little further away, there is even a sulfur ditch in the country of Voss;

During this trip to the capital, Chu Qing felt that she was going to be "blackened": she couldn't keep a low profile, and if she kept a low profile, she would dare to bully her.

What kind of society do you adapt to!Does society allow me to adapt?I can't get used to it anymore, let the society adapt to me.

Thinking about the letter from Xiaobao in her arms, the circle with a small tick, Chu Qing was discouraged again—forget it, as long as there are children, there is no way to challenge her.

It's better to do things in a sneaky way, and forget it all for Xiaobao's life-saving family.

"Old Jiang," Chu Qing said to Deputy Jiang Qianhu: "Can I also buy saltpeter? Let me tell you, I can make ice with saltpeter. You mentioned iced drinks just now. I want to sell some ice cream. , the profit is [-]/[-], how about it?"

Bingjian is an ancient container used to hold ice and put food in it in hot weather. It can be said to be an ancient refrigerator. It is clear that this thing has only been seen in pictures in the past, and it is very bulky.

This thing has been improved to be lighter, and the big family will definitely like it.

None of this is important, the important thing is that Chu Qing wants a purchase channel that the secret investigation department will not pursue.

Because if you send people to boil the nitrate soil, firstly, it will waste time and manpower, and secondly, it is still easy to attract attention, so it is better to buy it directly and clearly.
