Zhen Qian and Wang Qun casually walked around the valley, and said as they walked: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, we brought so many people this time, didn't the Qin family not ask?" ”

"I'm always not at ease", although Wang Qun knew that there was no Qin family around, he still lowered his voice and said: "Are you really not worried about the Qin family's affairs at all?" ”

"What are you worried about?" Zhen Qian teased: "We are unlucky, what good is it for the Qin family?" ”

Wang Qun was unwilling to say: "You can't have the heart to harm people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, I really didn't know that the Qin family still did these things, it's better to keep an eye on it when dealing with the Qin family in the future?" ”

Zhen Qian didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic, looked at Wang Qun and said with some apprehension: "This may really be our first pot of gold, now the Qin family has let us deal with all the goods, and the Qin family doesn't want any gold and silver, we sell the goods outside to the Qin family, and we can make a profit of three or four percent as soon as we come and go, I'm afraid there will be at least four or five thousand yuan in a year, if the Qin family really does those things, it will definitely not be just us, and the Qin family will not put all the chips on us, the Qin family should have other ways?" ”

"I hope so!"

Saying that, the two walked to the edge of Tuoshui, Zhen Qian beckoned to Carpenter Lu and said, "Lu Bo, I'm going to build two waterwheels here, what do you think?" ”

Carpenter Lu followed all the way to the remote Qin family, full of doubts, I don't understand what Zhen Qian is doing in this place where ghosts don't lay eggs? Seeing Zhen Qian asking himself, he said: "The water here is turbulent, and it is most suitable to set up a waterwheel here, but I don't know what Zhen Lang is going to do with the waterwheel, so I am so prepared?" ”

There are many functions of the waterwheel, and the results of the waterwheel are different for different uses.

Zhen Qian is not omnipotent, if he draws the schematic diagram of the waterwheel, it is okay, but it is not possible to make a waterwheel.

"It's the kind of waterwheel that can mash the grain, it doesn't need to be too broken, as long as it can be mashed, and a large amount of grain will be processed here every day in the future, so the reliability and efficiency must be high, is it difficult?"

Carpenter Lu said without the slightest expression on his face: "How long does it take me to finish?" ”

"The sooner the better! In the past, the grains were all mashed by hand, and a person could only process two or three stones a day, which was far from enough! ”

"Aren't there a lot of people here?"

Zhen Qian didn't expect Carpenter Lu to ask him this question, and said with some displeasure in his heart: "Although there are a lot of people here, they have other things, there are only two people in charge of pounding grains, are there any other problems?" ”

Seeing that Zhen Qian's tone was a little unkind, Carpenter Lu closed his mouth with interest.

Zhen Qian also frowned when he looked at Carpenter Lu's back, and he could feel a craftsman's arrogance in Carpenter Lu, but he didn't know if Carpenter Lu had the capital to be arrogant.

Seeing Zhen Qian's strange expression, Wang Qun reminded: "This Lu carpenter's craftsmanship is good, it is said that he can make twenty-four locks, this is an important means to measure the skill of a carpenter?" ”

"Really?" Zhen Qian said with interest: "Have time to communicate with Carpenter Lu?" ”

Wang Qun naturally took this sentence as a joke, seeing that it was not early, the two came to Qin's village and found Qin Hao who was preparing dinner, Zhen Qian said: "Uncle Qin, we will stay here for one night tonight, and leave early tomorrow morning, maybe it will be half a month later next time?" ”

Qin Hao said pretendedly: "Zhen Lang won't stay for a few more days?" ”

Zhen Qian wanted to shirk the matter at home and rush back, but when he saw Qin Hao, he spoke again: "I have already sent someone to find the weaver and carpenter that Zhen Lang said last time, I wonder if Zhen Lang can stay for one more day tomorrow, so that he can stay and communicate with them face-to-face?" ”

Zhen Qian and Wang Qun's eyes quietly glanced at each other, and they both chuckled in their hearts, first, they didn't expect the Qin family to find the people they needed so quickly, and secondly, the identities of these people were questionable, both of them nodded tacitly, "In that case, why not stay for one more day?" ”

"Thank you very much!"

Qin Hao poured a glass of wine for the two of them and said: "The Qin family is not a person who is ignorant of current affairs, all the changes in the outside world are in the eyes, although the Qin family has fallen over the years, but the roots are still there, as long as there is a chance, it will definitely rise again, and I hope that Zhen Lang will support it a lot?" ”

Regarding Qin Hao's vague and specious words, Zhen Qian also smiled uncertainly: "Uncle Qin is polite, I heard Uncle Wang say that the business contacts between the Zhen family and the Qin family have been more than ten years, although the relationship between each other was not deep before, but now that Uncle Qin believes in me and hands over the Qin family's external business to me, I naturally have to do my best to do this well!" ”

"That's good!" Qin Hao's smile hung all over his face, and it was all the kindness and kindness of the elders looking at the younger generations, "In the future, the family will not talk to the two families, if Zhen Lang has any difficulties outside, please feel free to speak, although the Qin family can't say anything in the government, but in this big mountain, many things that you usually want to do but can't do can be done, Zhen Lang is also a smart person, this should be understood!" ”

Zhen Qian's heart was cold, the power of the Qin family was really not small, fortunately, he didn't have any thoughts about the Qin family, otherwise he would have erected a strong enemy for himself for no reason now.

"Thank you Uncle Qin, you will inevitably ask for mercy from the Qin family in the future!"

Zhen Qian and Wang Qun were left to have a meal, and now they have their own valley, and they rushed back after eating, along the way Wang Qun was worried: "I really didn't expect that the Qin family would have such a great ability, and it would be better to be careful when dealing with the Qin family in the future!" ”

Of course, this Zhen Qian knew in his heart that if he could live in peace with the Qin family, it would naturally benefit both sides, and if he couldn't do it, he couldn't wait for death.

"Uncle Wang, how did you do the saltpeter thing you talked about last time?"

Wang Qun thought that Zhen Qian remembered the saltpeter matter because of the processing of fur, so he said: "I have already entrusted someone to do it, and there will be news back soon?" ”

"Uncle Wang will help me buy some sulfur, as long as the amount is thirty percent of saltpeter?"

Wang Qun didn't know why Zhen Qian wanted sulfur again, and said in his mouth: "The Qin family seems to have sulfur, why didn't Da Lang ask Qin Hao just now?" ”

Zhen Qian slapped his forehead, he actually forgot about this matter, since the Qin family lives in the mountains, they should be able to find some sulfur, and the sulfur that repels insects in the valley is provided by the Qin family, and the Qin family should know where to find sulfur.

"It's my negligence, when the time comes, I'll send all the eighty percent of the saltpeter to the valley, and the rest of the saltpeter to the Zhen Mansion, I have an urgent use?"

I don't understand and see that Zhen Qian didn't explain, Wang Qun knows very well that if the other party wants to tell him, he will know without asking, the most taboo between master and servant is to ask questions, Wang Qun, who is over half a hundred years old, knows this very well.

The sound of "chirping" in the bamboo building came, and the dozen or so children saw that they were taken to the deep mountains, and they were still a little panicked at first, but after a short while, they found that the utensils in the bamboo building were readily available, and they did not know how much stronger than the previous residence, and they saw a set of brand new clothes to bring and a sumptuous meal, although all this is not as good as the rich Langjun, but for these children, it is already something that they dare not dream of.

A room for four people, no need for everyone to squeeze into a big bed, the room is very clean and tidy, neat bedding, books with ink fragrance, the surrounding environment is quiet, the children who have been to the academy can't help but think that they can really read like ordinary people, and their hearts jump with joy, and they don't notice Zhen Qian and Wang Qun who appeared at the door of the bamboo building at all.

"Da Lang is not going to go in and say something", seeing that Zhen Qian just stood at the door for a while, with a happy expression on his face, he turned around and left, and Wang Qun couldn't help but sigh secretly after him.

"No hurry! They have been suppressed for too long, you don't see them dare to speak along the way today, I don't want a puppet who listens to words, but someone who dares to think and be good at performing! ”

For thousands of years, the waist of the Chinese people has been bent lower and lower, and finally they have been willing to be other people's slaves on the ground, and they have become the echo worms of power one by one, Zhen Qian naturally does not want such a person to appear around him, there must be necessary constraints, and militarized management cannot be missing, but it is definitely not now.

Wang Qun couldn't figure out what was going on in his little master's mind, but he was sure that he was becoming more and more assertive, more and more mysterious, and many things were incredible, and he didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

Early the next morning, Wang Qun got up and saw that Zhen Qian's eyes were slightly red, and last night he saw that the lights in the small bamboo building had not been extinguished all night, and he knew that Zhen Qian had stayed up late last night.

I saw a group of children already standing in line neatly, practicing Tai Chi with Zhen Qian, looking at those unfamiliar movements and immature smiles, I couldn't help but feel inexplicable anticipation in my heart.

"After getting up at two o'clock every day, resting for half an hour at noon, going to bed at the end of the day, I have posted the work and rest time in front of the bamboo building, in addition to reading and reading in the morning and evening, but also to strengthen the body, once a month for a small test, once a half year for the big exam, those who fail to pass the heavy punishment, those with excellent grades will be rewarded, now follow me to read an article ......."

“…… The red sun is rising, and its way is bright; The river flows out of the subterranean flow, and the ocean is poured out; The hidden dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws are flying; The milk tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified; The falcon tries its wings, and the wind and dust are blowing; The first child of strange flowers, the emperor is depressed; The cadres will be hairy, and there will be their mangs; The sky wears its blue, and the earth wears its yellow; Throughout the ages, there are eight wildernesses; The future is like the sea, and the future is long. Beautiful, I am young in China, and I am not old with the sky! Strong, I am a Chinese boy, and the country has no borders! ”

"When the youth is strong, the country is strong!"

Wang Qun stood aside and listened carefully, and gradually frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, could it be that he was too careful?
