Upon hearing this, Chino took the money and left.
The Great Chu Kingdom has very strict control over iron; even buying a kitchen knife requires registering your name, address, and intended use.
Now that his father has asked him to handle these things, it seems he'll have to travel to quite a few places.
Seeing his elder brother leave, Chi Deng hurriedly followed: "Brother, are you going to get your travel permit?"
"Okay, I'll go next door to ask Amu for help. If you need it, come over!"

With the Chi family gone, Qin Mu's house became empty.
When Ikeno came over, he had just finished cleaning.
Seeing this, Ikeno felt somewhat embarrassed.
He had forgotten that his good friend was very particular about cleanliness, and it was already quite an achievement that he lent his house to his clansmen.
It was originally agreed that after the clansmen left, their family would help clean and wash these change of clothes.
He thought he would come back to clean up later, but who would have thought that Amu would be so diligent.
Qin Mu hung the last bed sheet on the hemp rope under the eaves, looked at Chi Ye with an embarrassed expression, raised an eyebrow, and asked:
"Didn't you say you were going back?"
Chino felt a little uncomfortable, but still cleared his throat and said, "There are some things that might require me to stay a few days later."
By the way, Amu, I remember you seemed to have a pretty good relationship with the government.
I need to get a road permit to go to a few neighboring counties. Can you help me with that?
"It's possible, but what are you going to do there, and how many counties?"
"It's nothing, my dad just asked us to buy some grain and make some household items."
Things like rakes, hoes, and machetes.
Qin Mu was a smart and perceptive man. He didn't think that Chi Dahu would let his son buy these things out of the blue.
Although the Chi family were hunters and did not make a living by farming, they had everything a farmer's family should have.
Even if Chi Yu brings her child home, there's no need to prepare these things separately.
So, what is his purpose?
Chi Ye didn't know that just a simple sentence had stirred up Qin Mu's interest.
Seeing that Qin Mu had paused slightly after he finished speaking, he replied:
"If you just want some simple tools made, I have connections and can do it for you."
However, the price is slightly higher than what the blacksmith sells to the public.
As for grain, it's already cold now, so a few days ago I ordered people to buy grain from various places and transport it back.
I originally wanted to make more money during the twelfth lunar month.
Do you need a certain amount? Are you in a hurry?
If you don't need much and aren't in a hurry, wait another month or so until my grain returns, then I'll give it to you at cost price.
Ikeno had always known he was a capable man, and upon hearing this, he hesitated for a moment before saying:
"I don't know if we need the grain urgently; my father didn't tell me."
However, if you have any extra, you can leave some for my family.
I should still buy it the way I normally would.
As for ironware, it would be best if you had connections here. I'm willing to pay a little more, as it would save me a lot of trouble.
My father is asking for a hoe, a rake, a machete, a sickle, a shovel, and iron arrowheads.
Upon hearing that there were no broadswords, longswords, hammers, or spears, Qin Mu felt much more at ease.
He then asked, "How many do you need, one of each, or..."
Since his father hadn't specified the number, Chi Ye didn't understand why, so he replied, "One of each except for the arrowhead."
After saying that, he handed over the thirty taels of silver his father had given him.
"Ten taels is to return to you. The remaining twenty taels will be used to purchase what we just discussed, and to make as many arrowheads as possible."
Qin Mu took the silver and casually gave a time: "Come back and collect it in ten days!"
