He cried with tears and snot running down his face, and began to talk about how powerful his master was.
They were blacksmiths working at the frontier. Although their lives were not as good as those of the wealthy families, they lived quite well among ordinary people.
Later, Marquis Pingyang recruited blacksmiths to make weapons, and the master took him with him. In a place like the border, if it weren't for Marquis Pingyang, they would not be able to live in peace.
So after they went there, even though they were isolated from the world and could serve in the army, the weapons they made could kill the Northern Di enemy, and the master was very happy. But who knew that something would happen later.
Many people died. They wanted to leave at that time, but they couldn't, and they were all transferred away.
Later on, I couldn’t even see my family, and we only had the opportunity to communicate once a year.
Last year, they were transferred from the border to the capital. It has been almost a year now, and they cannot even send a letter to their family.
The young apprentice was terrified: "My master is very powerful, he can do anything, please save him! I will work like a slave to repay you!"
Xie Qing was naturally happy to be able to recruit more people.
Xie Qing asked him to stand up: "Do you remember where you came from?"
The young apprentice nodded vigorously. "I remember. Master later told me to hide my shortcomings. They didn't know I had a good memory. Also, because I was young, they weren't too wary of me. I sneaked out a few times. I remember everything!"
The young apprentice has been talented since he was young, otherwise he would not have been brought up by his master at such a young age.
Although the young apprentice and his companions were blindfolded and took a detour when they were brought here, he still returned along the same route and found their hiding place.
Xie Qing didn't take action first, but asked his apprentice to find a way to send a message in: "It would be best to ask for one or two tokens. If you know roughly where the family lived before, that would be even better."
"Don't worry!"
The young apprentice was very quick and brought the news out in just half a day. Not only his master, but all the craftsmen in the place had passed on the news and wanted to leave.
Xie Qing naturally accepted everyone who came and sent someone to pick him up. He then asked Bai Wanyi in detail about the time he came and how he contacted and communicated with her on a daily basis.
Knowing that Bai Wanyi didn't come here often, especially didn't send messages on a daily basis, he felt relieved to kill all these people at once.
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, all the families were reunited.
Xie Qing specially prepared a place for these craftsmen and their families to settle down. After seeing their families, the craftsmen quickly got down to work.
And their family members did not need Xie Qing to restrain them, as they kept quiet and did not go out on their own initiative.
Of course, they were in the deep mountains and couldn't go anywhere, so they didn't run around. At the same time, they were planning where to reclaim land and grow crops next year.
Hardworking people grow some vegetables in their rooms, which they can eat soon.
They directly ask the guards here to buy daily necessities, and they will not take a single step outside.
Bai Wanyi was restrained by the Fourth Prince, and Xie Qing was busy with his own things, so Qin Wan's life seemed to have suddenly slowed down.
The several greenhouses in Xiaoxue Village grow excellent vegetables and have made a lot of money since the beginning of winter.
As the New Year approaches, fresh fruits and vegetables are even more scarce. People who send holiday gifts from all over the country have to buy several baskets of fruits and vegetables to give to others.
Qin Wan asked someone to prepare some gift boxes, using the freshest and tenderest fruits and vegetables to make the gift boxes. The prices were directly increased several times. Even so, there was still a shortage of supply and she made a lot of money.
In just a few short days, Qin Wan earned nearly ten thousand taels of silver.
In addition to these, Qin Wan also asked people to stock up a lot of ice while the weather was cold.
Not only the Qin family's cellar, but also Qin Wan's Lingjiang Residence, the cellars of her several properties in the city, and the cellars of her sisters' homes, any place with the conditions for storing ice was used by her to store ice.
What was brought from the river was stored in the cellar for daily use.
Then use the boiled water, let it cool down and make some ice for eating.
There was so much ice stored in the cellar that it was actually much colder than outside.
Tao Yao was wrapped in a thick coat, but she was still shivering with cold inside: "Miss, I'm afraid this place can also be used to freeze."
Qin Wan nodded and smiled, "That's my plan. The ice we have stored may not be enough. If we can freeze ice in the cellar, it would be much more convenient."
"Also, in the summer, fruits and other things can be frozen here and then delivered directly to the store. They don't even need to be refrigerated, and they'll be cool when they're ready."
Tao Yao's eyes lit up when she heard this: "That way, we'll have enough ice for the whole summer. No, I need to find a few more places to store ice."
Tao Yao began to plan excitedly. Now that Piaoxiangju and Yuchuan Tea had branches all over the capital, she wanted to find a few places to store ice to ensure that in the summer, the iced fruits would still be cold when they were delivered to the stores.
On New Year's Eve, Marquis Xuanwu would bring the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to the palace to attend a palace banquet, so the Qin family's reunion dinner was held at noon.
In the Qin family's banquet hall, during the New Year, naturally every household had a table.
Qin Wan sat at the same table with her parents, brother, sister-in-law and others. As the crown prince, Qin Sheng naturally had to sit with Xuanwu Marquis Qin Zhan.
The rest of the families sat down around their table.
The Qin family is wealthy and has many children. At this moment, the children are running and making noise in the hall, making it very lively.
Qin Wan looked at the lively scene, feeling a little sad in her heart. She was afraid that she would burst into tears if she continued watching, so she turned around and listened to her father and grandfather talking.
Marquis Pingyang conquered the Northern Di people. Now the border is peaceful and there is no fighting, so the court is also stable.
