"I plan to build a large ceramic workshop twenty miles outside Hulu Valley to produce ceramics and other utensils."
Su Baozhu was confused. What did this have to do with transporting treasure?
"Yinyin, weren't we talking about how to transport the treasure? Why are we talking about opening a ceramic workshop?"
Seeing that his aunt and mother didn't understand, or didn't think deeply about it, Su Xinguang explained to them, "After the ceramic workshop is opened, all kinds of porcelain will be shipped out, and the porcelain will be distributed to various places. If we mix something in the porcelain, who will know? Others will only think that you are shipping porcelain, right? This is called deceiving others."
Su's mother and Su Baozhu kept nodding.
Su's mother asked, "Why do you want to make porcelain? Why not something else?"
"Porcelain is precious and cannot be easily knocked. It needs to be cushioned with straw or something like that. Porcelain is heavy, which makes it easier to confuse people. Secondly, firing porcelain requires high temperatures, so a furnace must be used. But this furnace can not only be used to fire ceramics, but can also be used for other purposes. For example: forging weapons."
On the surface, the furnace is used to burn ceramics, but secretly it is used to make weapons.
Of course, Su Yin didn't plan to make weapons for the time being, and would do it when the time was right. It would be too conspicuous to do it now, and their most important thing now was to get the treasure out, exchange the money for food and cotton clothes, and send them to the Northwest Army.
Fortunately, the Qilian Mountains are not far from where the Northwest Army is located. This is probably the only good news.
Time waits for no one, so we started to split into three groups.
Grandmother, Su's mother, and Su Baozhu were looking for a house to live in, as it was not a good idea to live in the city forever.
They thought about it and decided to look for a manor on the outskirts of Tangquan City to facilitate future actions. Some wealthy families would offer their manors and they planned to buy the entire manor.
Su Xiaozhong and Su Xinguang were responsible for recruiting workers, purchasing stone materials, etc.
As for Su Yin and Su Wuming, they went to find the county government office in Tangquan City and purchased the area around Hulu Valley.
The group divided into three groups.
As soon as the three men arrived at the government office, the bailiffs at the door stopped them. After they explained their purpose, the bailiffs let them pass.
The two found a land official who was specifically responsible for managing land purchases.
When Tian Li saw someone coming, he raised his eyelids slightly and looked up and down at Su Yin and Su Wuming. Su Yin was wearing a veil, so her appearance could not be seen clearly, but from the brocade she was wearing and the people following her, it was obvious that they were guards.
Nowadays, those who can bring bodyguards with them must have some family background.
Although he was no longer a peasant, the farmer had a smile on his face.
"What can I do for you, young lady?" asked Tian Li with a smile.
“Purchase land.”
Hearing that it was a land purchase, Tian Li nodded slightly and glanced back, "Has the seller not arrived yet?"
"I'm not buying someone else's land, I'm buying a few hills."
When Tian Li heard that he was going to buy a mountain, his eyes lit up. This was a good thing, a very good thing.
"Miss, please sit down first. Please sit down first." Tian Li greeted her warmly.
After Su Yin sat down, Tian Li asked with a smile: "Miss, is there a place you like?"
"No."
Tian Li raised his eyebrows, "What kind of hill does the young lady want to buy?"
Su Yin thought about it, as if she had forgotten what her family had told her. She turned to look at Su Wuming, "What did my father say?"
"The master likes quietness." General Su Wuming said the lines he had prepared long ago.
When Tian Li heard this description, he knew that the other party was planning to enclose an area to build a farm.
It would be great to build a manor, but that would require a large area, and that would cost a lot of money.
The owner's requirement is good, quiet, and far away from the village, which means that any remote hilltop can be sold.
Rich families usually like to buy hills that are close to the city and have some fertile land. Nowadays, these types of hills and land have long been divided up by the powerful, and what they have now are wastelands that no one wants.
It seems that there is a chance to fool people out of these places.
Looking at this young lady in front of him, it was obvious that she knew nothing, so she could be fooled. The only obstacle was probably the accompanying guards. But it didn't matter. As long as he could deal with this young lady who was ignorant of the world, the guards would not be a problem.
Tian Li's eyes rolled around, "You know what, our government office really has such a good place."
"Really?" Su Yin was very happy and said innocently, "I was thinking that if you don't have what my father wants, I'll go to the next county to find one. Anyway, it's not far from here, so it's convenient to come here to take a bath."
When Tian Li heard this, his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that this family was planning to build a farm so that they could come here in the winter to soak in the hot springs.
Su Yin added, "It's best to bring hot springs."
"This is not easy to find!" Tian Li looked embarrassed.
"Isn't it hard to find?"
"It's really hard to find one with hot springs."
"Forget it, I won't bring any hot springs, but it has to be quiet. My dad likes quiet ones."
"This one definitely exists. Wait a moment, I'll find it for you."
Tian Li moved quickly and began to search in the area under his jurisdiction near Tangquan City. He found quite a few and brought them to her happily. "Miss, look at these places. They are all very good. This place is called Fushan. There is a stream below. The dry land next to it is just right for building houses. Fushan is only a dozen miles away from our Tangquan City, so it is not very far. This location is very good."
The only drawback is that the people there are tough and not easy to mess with.
Tian Li naturally forgot about this point.
Su Yin looked innocent, "Great! Let's choose this place."
Tian Li was very happy to see that she made a decision so quickly.
At this time, Su Wuming said, "Miss, this is not possible. I heard that the people here are not easy to mess with. The people in that village are relatives of a certain lord in Shangjing City."
"Okay." Su Yin sighed and turned to look at Tian Li, "Anything else?"
When Tian Li heard what Su Wuming said, he knew that something bad had happened, and indeed it did not work out.
Tian Li continued to introduce with a smile, "This place, this place is good."
He introduced them one by one, and Su Yin shook her head one by one. Some said that they were too small, while others said that the surrounding villages were too noisy. In short, she had various reasons to refuse.
Tian Li was also confused. Su Yin said, "Do you have a map of Tangquan County? I can choose it myself."
Tian Li found the map of Tangquan County from the shelf and spread it directly in front of her.
Su Yin picked and chose along the way. Of course, the places she picked were all near Tangquan County, but many places were occupied by others.
"Forget it, since there is nothing suitable, let's go."
When the farm official saw that the God of Wealth was about to leave, how could he sit still?
