It is said that Song Liyun has courage and ambition, and if properly nurtured, she will surely have a bright future.
Just how successful is he?
Zhao Tingduo couldn't help but think of what Song Liyun had said: if rows of windmills were installed on the grassland, wells could be dug, and fertile land could be cultivated to build cities like those of the Wu Dynasty...
His smile deepened; although it was a whimsical idea, it suited his mind perfectly.
For thousands of years, the Di tribes have lived a nomadic life on the grasslands, following the water and grass, and their living conditions were harsh.
If I could settle down...
Song Liyun walked into the town alone. Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly slipped into the base of a ruined wall.
She rubbed her face vigorously, trying to calm her racing heart.
Zhao Ashi's action of trying to help her onto the horse just now was so cool.
Song Liyun felt it necessary to mention to Luo Baihu that someone with Zhao Ashi's appearance was not suitable to be a "night owl".
The most taboo thing for special reconnaissance soldiers is to have an outstanding appearance. Even if Zhao Ashi's face is tanned, he is still "handsome in the dark", and people will never forget him once they see him.
It would be great if he stayed to be her protector!
Song Liyun covered her mouth and chuckled: Actually, I'm fine with being a protector of flowers myself!
After spending a few days together, she felt that Zhao Ashi was actually quite nice.
Although she asks a lot of questions like a curious child, she has a strong ability to accept new things and is easy to communicate with.
They don't have the same sense of superiority that Xue Zhuang and the others have, which makes them very suitable for training!
Thinking of this, Song Liyun slapped herself twice on the face, cursing inwardly: What am I thinking! Don't even think about an old cow eating young grass.
She asked, and Abu was sixteen, while Zhao Ashi was only nineteen, still quite young.
After hiding away and letting her mind wander for a while, Song Liyun has regained her good mood!
The pond by the river has been almost completely built with bricks; it just needs to be dried before soaking in the slurry.
She came to town to find out the current production volume of vermicelli.
We also need to explain the Tianxianglou contract to Xue Zhuang. If the newly arrived magistrate of Qili County suddenly starts a trial, we need to be prepared.
Now that there's the Broken Gold Guild Hall, Song Liyun doesn't need to visit it to discuss matters. She can simply sit down and wait at the guild hall, and someone will bring a message to summon her.
Xue Zhuang and Hu Qing arrived quickly.
Song Liyun then told the two about the magistrate of Qili County, and finally said, "If anything happens, the garrison will handle it. What we need to do is make more money."
When the topic of money came up, Hu Qing immediately perked up. He smiled and said to Song Liyun, "Miss Song, last month's accounts have been settled. The rough amount is twenty-eight taels."
Song Liyun laughed and said, "Not bad. This is just the beginning. In the future, all the villages will collect acorns. Once there are more raw materials, we can make 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, and it was quite good to have earned more than twenty taels of silver.
Moreover, the acorns we used to buy were collected by farmers before winter for future use.
Farmers are now starting to intentionally go up the mountain to pick fruit.
Although after a winter, the amount of usable food is limited, excluding those that have been eaten by animals and then sprouted and rotted.
This is a normal reaction of shifting from passive to active, and it takes time. It will definitely get better next month.
Hu Qing was interested in making snacks from acorns, and hurriedly asked, "We've been harvesting more and more acorns lately. Miss Song, if you have any good ideas, please share them. Everyone wants to make money, hehe, so we can get married."
Although we only earned 28 taels this month, the cost of acorns is low and the profit is substantial. After deducting everyone's wages, we will definitely have a large sum of money by the end of the year.
Upon hearing Hu Qing mention getting married, Xue Zhuangcai remembered something: "The day before yesterday, some villagers from the mountains asked if they could come to Suijin Town to go to the market. I think we still need to discuss these things with everyone."
The tragedy that occurred in Broken Gold Town five years ago has frightened the surrounding people so much that they dare not approach it.
However, in the past few months, the garrison has killed the Di people, and the town has killed bandits twice. The name of Suijin Town has spread to the surrounding villages and towns again.
In addition, Hu Qing and his group went to the village to buy acorns and promote the idea that the area was safe.
Some daring individuals came to the market, partly to see what the real situation was like.
"It's a good thing that villagers are coming to the market!" Song Liyun said excitedly.
For Broken Gold Town to develop, popularity is the most important factor.
Otherwise, the town only has two or three hundred people, plus the garrison, which has a hundred people, and it's deserted and lacks any sense of life.
Xue Zhuang shook his head with a wry smile: "Bandits have been breaking into Suijin Town one after another, and we're cracking down hard on outsiders. Now, villagers are coming to the market, so it's hard to manage them."
He was in charge of security in the town. Having customers would naturally bring him more money, but it would also cause him trouble.
Hu Qing certainly hoped for as many people as possible, but he also knew that the people from Tianxianglou hadn't given up and would definitely seek revenge when the opportunity arose.
Just as they were in a dilemma, Song Liyun said, "It's best to discuss this with Grandpa Zhang and the others; perhaps they'll have a better solution."
Opportunities and challenges coexist. In the past, everyone would avoid them at all costs, but now villagers are taking the initiative to ask, so we can no longer refuse.
Xue Zhuang had no choice but to agree, and he would discuss what to do with Grandpa Zhang when he arrived.
Inside Baolin Residence, Abu stared wide-eyed at the black gold clinging to the wall, his face filled with disbelief.
"Young Master, tell me, what is that thing?"
That day, when the rioters from the garrison came to search all the courtyards and rooms after the disturbance at Tianxiang Tower, Hei Jin ran away!
It ran away from home!
Dozens of men from the garrison, armed with knives, stormed into the Song family's residence, startling Hei Jin, who had just injured a bandit.
It initially hid in the woods, but by the time everyone finished their work and started looking for it again, it was nowhere to be found.
Although it appeared in front of people that day, everyone was in a panic, and not many people actually noticed it.
Song Liyun and Song Zhenping were sweating profusely with anxiety as they couldn't find the black gold.
Finally, Xiao An said that Hei Jin pulled him towards the river and pointed frantically to the mountains on the other side of the river, which was the place they had gone to for acorn hunting in the winter.
It was going to take Xiao An to the mountains.
The next day, Song Liyun took some time to go up the mountain to look for it. She saw Black Gold, which was staying on the mountain and refusing to go home.
The mountains are now covered with tender leaves and snow-white locust blossoms, all of which are favorite foods for monkeys, ensuring they won't go hungry, and the weather is also warm.
Song Liyun put some acorns and peanuts in it, and put Black Gold Freedom in it, so it could come home whenever it wanted.
After a few days of going crazy outside, Black Gold is finally home.
Looking at the black and gold creature that was lurking on the wall with its shifty, sneaky eyes.
Zhao Tingduo looked serious.
He vaguely remembered seeing something in a book that described an animal resembling a human, called a "xiao," which was fierce in nature.
Strangers below were pointing and whispering at him. Black Gold opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs.
"Oh no, it's a ferocious beast! Quick, get a knife!" Zhao Tingduo and Abu were terrified, one grabbing a knife and the other picking up a stick.
"Black Gold, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Come down and have dinner with Auntie!"
Upon hearing the shouts of a ferocious beast, Yunniang rushed over like a gust of wind, knocking Abu, who was about to go forward to fight the monster, off balance.
Black Gold jumped to Yunniang's side, snuggled in her arms, and grinned, looking aggrieved.
