The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 48 I'm afraid it's not a liar
The first thing Su Tang did when he returned to Yanyang City was not to find a shop, but to buy a boat.

The potato harvest is imminent, which makes Su Tang feel very worried. At that time, the potatoes with an yield of [-] shi per mu will definitely make Yanyang City a major focus. If nothing else, the bandits from the Lingyun Mountains will come again, so Su Tang decides to transport a batch of gunpowder Come here just in case.

There is no road to the north of Fufengzhai. If you want to transport the contents out, you have to climb the mountain or row a boat. It is better to buy a boat directly.

The Yanyun River leads directly to Fufengzhai to the side of Yanyang City, and it will be convenient to transport goods to Yanyang City in the future.

"The weapons of Fufeng Village appear in Yanyang City, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of other villages." Wu Chong looked at the pedestrians around him and said in a low voice.

"Located in the Lingyun Mountains, it is considered to be the Fufeng Village of bandits. It is incomprehensible to be able to do business in Yanyang City. After all, Yanyang City has suffered from bandits. If gunpowder also appears in Yanyang City, on the contrary, is easier to explain."

"Why?" Wu Chong was puzzled.

"At that time, you will declare to the outside world that it is our Fufeng Village who obtained the qualification to do business in Yanyang City with a secret weapon. This will explain everything." Su Tang said.

"Will the other villages think that we are surrendering to Yanyang City, and attack us instead?" Wu Chong asked worriedly.

"Let's just say that we just want to do business to support the stockade, and the weapons provided to Yanyang City are only enough for them to protect themselves, not enough to pose a threat to the Lingyun Mountains. Those bandits who want to come to Yanyang City to plunder carefully weigh it carefully."

"Master is wise." Wu Chong flattered him with great admiration.

The boat seller was a businessman, and he had a shop with a good location in Yanyang City. He bought a cargo boat at the beginning to facilitate the transportation of goods from the inland for sale.

As a result, because Yanyang City has been infested by bandits all year round, the rich people leave and die, and the rest of the common people have little spending power, making business more and more difficult.

Recently, I finally couldn't hold on, and decided to sell the shops and cargo ships and move the whole family.

Su Tang was also very helpless about this kind of thing. In fact, half of the shops in Yanyang City were empty, and no one leased them for business. It was very common for some businessmen who were not doing well to sell their houses and leave here.

Su Tang decided to take a look at his shop by the way, and if the location was good, he would buy it together.

"Go away, go away, I told you that our store doesn't need you, so don't come here again." An extremely impatient voice sounded not far away.

Immediately, a figure staggered and nearly bumped into Su Tang, but fortunately Wu Chong had quick eyesight and hands to support that person.

It was only after he recovered that he could see clearly that the man who staggered and bumped into him was a man with only one leg. He was very thick and strong. Unfortunately, his right leg was empty under the trousers. When the wind blew, the trousers were baggy Fluttering, Su Tang saw clearly that his entire right leg was gone.

In this day and age, it is lucky to survive such a serious injury.

Seeing that he almost bumped into someone, the big man quickly apologized to Su Tang twice, jumped up to the man who was swearing at him just now, and said in a panic, "I can't use a hammer to forge iron, but I really know how to make a lot of ironware. You just leave me behind." Well, it’s okay to pay less.”

Su Tang didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but after taking two steps, she stopped abruptly when she heard what the big man said, causing Yingyue who was following behind to almost bump into her.

"Master, what's the matter?" Seeing Su Tang staring at the one-legged man, Yingyue wondered what she was thinking.

"It's not that we don't want to keep you. As you can see, we are also a small business. We don't need so many blacksmiths, so we don't recruit people." The man standing at the door of the iron shop said with difficulty.

"But you guys were still recruiting blacksmiths yesterday." The one-legged man persisted, "I can ask for less wages."

The man saw that it was useless to say what he said, and the big man wanted to stay, so he simply pushed him to the ground, went in and closed the door of the shop, trying to make him retreat.

The heavy closing sound shocked the big man, and then he shook his head in a lonely way, leaning on a stick and trying to get up with his left leg.

He still has a wife and children to support. Since his leg was disabled, the family has spent all their savings in order to heal his leg and save his life. Now he relies on his wife to sew and mend for others. His body and bones are getting worse and worse due to fatigue, so he has to find a job quickly to earn money to support his family.

But now he only has one leg, so he can't do many jobs, and now he can only rely on his blacksmithing skills, but no blacksmith shop is willing to accept him as a cripple.

At this moment, a pair of bare hands supported him, and when he raised his head, it turned out to be the girl he almost bumped into just now, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, his throat was sore, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, girl."

"Look, can you make this thing out of iron?" Su Tang took out the grenade parts that Li Sheng had asked him to carve out of wood.

Originally, she planned to find a better blacksmith to build it, but she changed her mind when she saw this big man.

Even if these parts are divided into several parts and handed over to different blacksmiths for making, it is inevitable that they will be collected by interested people in the future. If you can find a good blacksmith and bring them back to Fufengzhai, you don't have to worry about leaking them.

"Yes, I can do it. I used to be a very good blacksmith." The big man more or less guessed that Su Tang wanted him to forge iron, and quickly promised, but soon, he looked at his empty right leg and said in frustration, "I can't now. I can't hammer the iron with my legs, but as long as someone helps to smelt the iron, I can make these small parts."

"Okay, I can hire you to forge iron at my place." Su Tang was also happy, "But I am from Lingyun Mountain Range, so you need to follow me to Lingyun Mountain Range."

"Earth, bandits." The big man was startled, and he felt that he seemed to have said the wrong thing and shut up quickly, but isn't there bandits in Lingyun Mountain Range besides bandits?
On the one hand, he wants to make money, and on the other hand, he wants to go to the bandit's den to make money, which makes him very embarrassed.

"If you work here, how much money can you make a month?" Su Tang saw his doubts and pointed to the blacksmith's shop with the closed door behind him.

"Less than one tael." The big man answered truthfully. If he was healthy before, he would be able to earn two taels of silver a month, but now he is content to support his family.

"I can pay you ten taels of silver a month for your labor, and our village never robs houses."

It wasn't that Su Tang gave Gao deliberately when he saw him being pitiful, but that an excellent blacksmith went to Fufeng Village to make parts, which could solve her many worries, and the price was worth it.

After all, it was hard to find a good blacksmith, and he had his own livelihood, so if he found one, he might not be willing to become a bandit in the Lingyun Mountains.

Twelve!

The big man was taken aback. He was so virtuous, and he was willing to spend ten taels to hire him. When he was healthy, he didn't earn ten taels a month. I'm afraid he is not a liar.
