Poor family mother and son

The first thing Xiaobao did when he arrived in New Lunzhou was to set prices quickly. All kinds of non-jade stones are still rough processed at present, because most of them are picked up on the river beach, and they are already round, so this batch is sold at the current low price.

The stones brought in later require fine processing, and all bracelets, ring faces, hairpin heads, etc. that can be exposed, are all priced according to the price of jade in the Daxuan market.

And the finely processed seed jade fished from the river beach has all increased to more than ten times the market price. At the same time, a batch of ornaments intercepted from the jade processed by Meng Chun have also been listed on the market, with a hundred times the price.

"Can this still be sold?" Chu Yuan and Xiao Sining were anxious: "Your mother bought so much, you don't lower the price, but increase it? If it were me, I wouldn't buy it if I killed you!"

Gan Lai was still gnawing on lettuce, root and melon, it was so sweet, his mouth was full but it didn't affect his speech at all: "I'll kill you both!"

Xiaobao patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, not only is it easy to sell, believe it or not, even if our family is a piece of mud, I will make him a rich man to play with!"

*********************
Chu Qing, who was in Youzhou, had just finished negotiating with Xue Hou, the magistrate, to jointly complete this year's work summary. Xue Hou wrote the pen, Chu Qing read it, and signed it together.

For this kind of thing, instead of talking about the achievements, it is better to just say what you did, how you did it, where the difficulties are, and how much you can't overcome that needs the help of the court, just write it clearly.

Don't brag about rainbow farts to each other. The emperor thinks you are the one with merit. If you brag on your own, it will only arouse resentment.

Don't exaggerate the difficulty, it's not difficult and you need to be an official?Who can't give that position?
Over the years, Chu Qing has figured it out, the emperor is a very pragmatic person, this kind of person can only cause resentment if he plays tricks with him.

It's better to be honest in the memorial, and to impress the emperor with his demeanor and tone when dictating to the saint, and let him know that it is difficult, which is more useful.

They could even hold each other's feet when facing the saints. For example, Song Tingshan did this once before. He praised Chu Qing in front of the emperor. It is a new type of means of running errands, and it cooperates well.

Xue Hou can also see now that Chu Qing is not a good person. He even thinks that it is fortunate that Chu Qing has no backer, no family background, and no help. of.

If Kao Gongsi doctor comprehensively evaluates performance, it is estimated that most of the officialdom will have to compare with her, and all of them will be rated as inferior.

Not to mention anything else, people dare and have the ability to transport chickens, ducks and geese from Jizhou to Jishun Mansion for emergency, so that there are not many locust gnats left there; they also have the ability to transport chickens and ducks from Chongyu Mansion along the waterway Going to Youzhou Prefecture solved the urgent need of Youzhou Prefecture.

And all the related expenses are paid in advance, and the accounts are settled after the autumn. No, all the accounts have just been settled, and the government has not only lost money, but also increased the income due to the breeding of chickens and ducks.

The person who is an official, has done his errands, and earned a lot of money. This kind of person... Oh, you can't be an enemy!
But Chu Qing couldn't wait any longer, so that he could go to Beijing to report on his duties with Xue Hou, because the director's office sent a letter: Huang Zhong led the team back to the country, escorted by the legation's guards.

The legation in the country of Vos sent guards to escort Huang Zhong and the others?My boys are not young or old, why did they use the guards?What's wrong?The letter didn't say anything.

Chu Qing rode directly to Xinlunzhou, and before leaving, he entrusted the council to send a letter to the Secret Investigation Department: It may be late to enter Beijing, please ask the commander to help the emperor.

The time limit for coming to Beijing to report on work is limited to the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, which means that you must arrive in Kyoto before the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.

But Huang Zhong and the others are still on the road now, and with the escort of the guards, it is estimated that the journey will not be fast, so Chu Qing rushes to meet them, and then runs to the capital, I am afraid that they will not be able to arrive within the time limit.

When Chu Qing arrived at the northern border checkpoint in Xinlunzhou, Xiaobao had already been waiting there for a whole day yesterday, and Xiaobao said, "I can arrive today, but I don't know when."

Chu Qing looked at the people brought by Xiaobao, there were quite a few, and there were garrisons, so it should be very thorough.

When Huang Zhong and the others passed the test, Chu Qing was stunned.

Fifty sergeants in Daxuan armor closely guarded the same eight-headed Vosmara carriage, and veteran cadre Huang Zhong sat high on the carriage.

Why do you say sitting tall, because Huang Zhong is sitting on an unknown object covered by canvas.

His face was black and red, very dry, his beard was disheveled by the wind, his sideburns were flamboyant, and his lips were covered with white skin. Seeing the dumbfounded Chu Qing in the crowd, Huang Zhong was delighted, and he stood up, He was about to jump off the car, scaring Master Lu and the boys.

In the end, the guards came down with support and support, as if flying.

"Girl Qing, the old man brought your things back for you, and they haven't been bumped at all!" Huang Zhong said with a smile.

my things?Chu Qing was puzzled, but Master Lu was afraid that Chu Qing might say the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said, "The jade you found last time, couldn't be transported back then. If it wasn't for the frozen mountain, we wouldn't be able to get it back!"

The jade I was looking for?Chu Qing was even more confused, and the eyelids of Old Huang Zhong and Master Lu tensed up, and their eyeballs almost popped out.

Chu Qing didn't know why, but he absolutely had to cooperate well, so he showed a surprised look: "You got it back?" Then he looked at the covered canvas: "It's so big, how did you transport it?"

Why the two old men are like this, it seems that we have to ask later.

The truck went out of the checkpoint all the way to Baoqingsheng Warehouse. Chu Qing signed the "receipt" (receipt form) with the sergeants of the legation, expressed his gratitude, and gave each person a hundred taels of silver notes as remuneration. The sergeants looked at the silver notes , with reluctance in his eyes but a resolute rejection in his tone: "Master Chu, we are acting on orders, not private employment, so we cannot accept it!"

With this attitude, Chu Qing somewhat understands why old Huang Zhong asked them to escort the car on the road: fearing that the Voss hijacked the car is a fake, and the jade is likely to be handed over to the emperor by Huang Zhong, so it must be escorted in the name of the Daxuan court. It is considered a personal act, so it is not appropriate to give a reward.

If it’s not appropriate to give in person, then give it in private.

Since the embassy came forward, it means that Huang Zhong has reported the cargo. These sergeants are office errands, but personal rewards are necessary, so we have to take it slowly in the future, right?
With a look from Chu Qing, Zhuo Yao personally led people to prepare the dry food for them to go back. Each of them had a cowhide rucksack with various dry food in it. In the small interlayer of the backpack, there was a bank note.

5000 taels for shipping, it's too cheap to transport such a big piece of jade!

At night, when only his own people were left, Huang Zhong asked to open the canvas—oh my god!

A piece of white jade six feet long, four feet wide, and four feet high!

Chu Qing touched it with trembling hands, and her voice also trembled: "Old Huang, Old Lu, you... you have worked hard!"

For such a large piece of jade, Master Lu said it weighed ten thousand catties, so it must be 5 tons! A 5-ton stone was brought down from such a high mountain... I'm afraid it will cost you your life?
