Chapter 174 Opportunities and Challenges
It is said that Song Liyun is courageous and bold, and will surely have a bright future if she is well trained.
How promising is it?
Zhao Tingduo couldn't help but think of what Song Liyun said: if rows of windmills were installed on the grassland, wells could be dug, and fertile soil could be cultivated on the grassland, a city like the one in the Wu Dynasty could be built...
The smile on his lips grew wider. Although this was a wild idea, it was exactly what he was thinking.
For thousands of years, the Dilu tribe has lived on the grasslands, following the water and grass, and their living conditions are difficult.
If I could settle down...
Song Liyun walked into the town alone. Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly hid at the base of a ruined wall.
She rubbed her face hard, trying to calm her pounding heart.
Zhao A Shi’s action of trying to help her get on the horse just now was so cool.
Song Liyun felt it necessary to mention to Captain Luo that someone with Zhao A Shi's appearance was not suitable to be a "Never-Sleeping Person".
The most taboo thing for special reconnaissance soldiers is outstanding appearance. Even if Zhao A Shi's face is tanned, it is still "dark and pretty" and people will never forget it once they see it.
It would be nice if you could stay and be the flower protector!
Song Liyun covered her mouth and laughed: Actually, I can also be the flower protector!
In fact, after spending a few days together, she felt that Zhao A Shi was really good.
Although he asks questions like a curious baby, he has a strong ability to accept new things and is easy to communicate with.
He doesn't have the sense of superiority that Xue Zhuang and others have, that comes with "men know a lot", so he is very suitable for training!
When he thought of this, Song Liyun slapped himself on the face twice and cursed inwardly: What are you thinking! Don't think that an old cow can eat young grass.
She asked, Abu was sixteen years old, and Zhao A Shi was only nineteen years old, still a big boy.
After hiding away and thinking about random things for a while, Song Liyun has regained her good mood!
The pool by the river has been almost built with bricks and just needs to be dried before it can be soaked in slurry.
She came into the town to find out the current production volume of vermicelli.
I also need to explain the Tianxianglou contract to Xue Zhuang. If the new Qili County magistrate suddenly comes to try a case, he needs to have a clear idea of what is going on.
Now that there is the Suijin Guild Hall, Song Liyun doesn't have to go there to discuss things. She just needs to sit down in the guild hall and wait, and someone will bring a letter to call her over.
Xue Zhuang and Hu Qing came over quickly.
Song Liyun told them about the Qili County Magistrate, and then said at the end: "If there is any problem, the guards will handle it. What we need to do is to earn more money."
Speaking of silver, Hu Qing suddenly perked up. He smiled and said to Song Liyun, "Miss Song, last month's bill has been settled. The gross bill is 28 taels."
Song Liyun also laughed: "Not bad, this is just the beginning. In the future, every village will collect acorns. Once there are enough raw materials, we can think of some acorn snacks to sell. This way, we can make money all year round."
The Acorn Food Factory had only been established for a month, so it was quite good to have more than twenty taels of silver.
Moreover, the acorns we bought in the past were all picked up by farmers before winter and kept as a reserve.
Now farmers have begun to go up the mountain to pick fruits intentionally.
Although after a winter, except for those eaten by animals and then sprouted and rotted, the amount that can be used is limited.
Now is a normal reaction from being passive to being active. It takes a process, and things will definitely get better next month.
Hu Qing was interested in making snacks from acorns and asked hurriedly, "We've been collecting more and more acorns lately. Miss Song, if you have any good ideas, please share them. Everyone wants to make money, so they can get married."
Although I only earned twenty-eight taels this month, the cost of acorns is not high and the profit is huge. After deducting everyone's wages, I will definitely have a lot of money saved by the end of the year.
Hearing Hu Qing talking about getting married, Xue Zhuang remembered something: "The day before yesterday, some villagers from the mountains asked if they could come to the market in Suijin Town. I think these things should be discussed with everyone."
The tragedy that happened in Suijin Town five years ago scared people around so much that they dared not get close.
However, in the past few months, the garrison killed the Di Lu people, and the town killed bandits twice, and the name of Suijin Town spread throughout the surrounding area.
In addition, Hu Qing and his team went to the village to buy acorns and spread the word that safety here is guaranteed.
Some brave people want to come to the market and take a look at the real situation.
"It's a good thing that villagers come to the market!" Song Liyun said excitedly.
If Suijin Town wants to develop, popularity is the most important thing.
Otherwise, there are only two or three hundred people in the town, plus the garrison with a total of one hundred people. It is cold and deserted without any sense of life.
Xue Zhuang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Suijin Town has been plagued by bandits invading the town one after another, and we are strictly checking outsiders. Now there are villagers coming to the market, so it's difficult to control them."
He is in charge of the town's security work. If someone comes, he can naturally earn more money, but it will be troublesome for his business.
Hu Qing certainly hopes that the more people there are, the better, but he also knows that the people in Tianxianglou have not given up and will definitely take the opportunity to retaliate.
Just when they were in a dilemma, Song Liyun said, "It's best to discuss this matter with Mr. Zhang and the others. Maybe there is a good solution."
Opportunities and challenges coexist. In the past, everyone was afraid to avoid them, but now that villagers are actively asking about them, we can no longer push them away.
Xue Zhuang had no choice but to agree and wait for Mr. Zhang to come over and discuss with him what to do.
In Baolinjuli, at this time Abu stared at Heijin who was climbing on the wall with disbelief on his face.
"Master, what do you think that is?"
When there was a commotion at Tianxiang Tower that day and the guards came to search all the rooms in the courtyard, Heijin ran away!
It ran away from home!
Dozens of people from the garrison entered the Song family with knives in their hands, frightening Heijin who had just injured the bandits.
It was hiding in the woods at first, but when everyone was done looking for it, it was gone.
Although it appeared in front of people that day, everyone was in a panic and not many people really noticed it.
Song Liyun and Song Zhenping couldn't find the black gold and were sweating profusely.
Finally, Xiao An said that Heijin pulled him to the river and kept pointing to the mountain across the river. That was the place where they went to pick acorns and hunt in winter.
It is going to take Xiao An to the mountains.
The next day, Song Liyun took time to go to the mountain to look for it. When she saw Hei Jin, it stayed on the mountain and didn't go home.
Now the mountains are covered with tender leaves and snow-white locust flowers, which are the favorite foods of monkeys. They will not be hungry and the weather is warm.
Song Liyun gave it some acorns and peanuts, and let Heijin go free, allowing it to go home anytime.
After a few crazy days outside, Hei Jin is finally back home.
Looking at Hei Jin, who was sneaking around on the wall with shifty eyes.
Zhao Tingduo looked serious.
He vaguely remembered reading in a book that there was an animal similar to a human, called "Xiao", which had a ferocious temperament.
There were strangers pointing at him below, and Heijin opened his mouth, revealing his fangs.
"Oh no, it's a ferocious beast, bring a knife quickly." Zhao Tingduo and Abu were horrified, one picked up a knife and the other picked up a stick.
"Heijin, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Come down obediently and have dinner with your auntie!"
When Yunniang heard the shout of a ferocious beast, she ran over like a gust of wind and knocked Abu, who was about to go forward to fight the monster, off balance.
Heijin jumped to Yunniang's side, snuggled in her arms, grinned and looked aggrieved.
