The murderous aura in the apricot forest, even Guan Zhihe felt strange to him, pursed his thin lips and didn't dare to speak.

"Hehe, the old man is joking with you, the so-called winning people's money and eliminating disasters for others is human nature, although I can't kill them for you, but ......"

"My patience is limited!"

The old man saw that He Xiu clenched the long sword and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he blurted out: "I only heard them laugh and say, it doesn't take any effort to get it, this sentence." The old man only heard this sentence, and he didn't know anything else, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense. ”

"Very good, let me continue to monitor them, the benefits in the future will be indispensable to you, if you let me know that you eat both ends, hum, be careful of the head of the neck!"

He Xiu left the apricot forest with Guan Zhihe in one hand and left the apricot forest with a heavy sentence, the old man trembled and wiped the cold sweat that was frightened on his forehead, and after visiting left and right, he also left alone.

When walking to the corridor of the north gate, a group of hundreds of light riders came quickly, He Xiu held Guan Zhihe in his arms, quickly dodged to the side, and revealed a luxurious horse boxcar behind the light horse.

Looking at the speed at which the horses were running, He Xiu guessed that there was only one person sitting inside, but sure enough, when the carriage passed by the two of them, the curtain of the shed was blown up by the wind, and a side face with sword eyebrows and cold handsomeness happened to be exposed.

"Guo Zhenxing?"

Immediately, the carriage was gone, Guan Zhihe was embarrassed at this time, and she didn't know what to say, but she was pulled back to the bedroom by He Xiu.

"Guo Zhenxing hasn't shown up for a long time, why did he go out of the city with a lot of people today?"

He Xiu sat on the bench, handed a cup of tea to his lips and muttered, Guan Zhihe was more concerned about what happened just now: "Brother He Xiu, when did you put him in your hands?"

"Oh, this matter is a long story, and I will explain it to you in detail when I know the exact news of Guo Zhenxing. He Xiu took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"You guys are hiding everything from He'er, do you treat me as a friend?" Guan Zhihe complained as she put the teacup on the table.

He Xiu smiled: "He'er, I don't tell you about this because I'm afraid that you will be in greater danger, so please forgive me." ”

"Hmph, Daddy said this to me, Steward Qiao also said to me, even you use this sentence to perfunctory me like them, hmph, He'er has had enough. Guan Zhihe turned her head and raised her neck high enough, sulking.

"Okay, okay, Brother He Xiu promised you that he would be the first to share this matter with you in the future," He Xiu saw that she was still not angry, and Gu continued: "Hey, I don't know if those peach blossoms have withered, I have to go there again when I have time." ”

Guan Zhihe turned around: "Even if you wither, those peach blossoms won't wither......" laughed out after half a sound: "Hmph, it will make He'er happy." ”

The laughter of the two lasted until late at night, Guan Zhihe was still sleeping in bed, and He Xiu was still close to her outside, and he didn't dare to sleep at ease.

Time was accompanied by a drizzle, and after half a month, Qiao Shenming came to the visitor hall of Guanfu with a paper umbrella.

"Brother He, we have to open an iron mine, I believe that we will be able to mine iron soon, and in another half a month, it will be able to become a tool, and this month's transition time is just right to catch the iron tools needed for farm tools, haha, I can finally take a breath." ”

In the past few days of interacting with He Xiu, He Xiu has regarded him as a confidant, and asked him not to obey the etiquette of the master and servant in the future, and to speak freely.

Qiao Shenming had the same rigorous style as before, and he actually accepted the request of this confidant in his heart, so when he came in just now, he didn't bow his waist, sat down casually, took a sip of strong tea and said.

"It's really hard Brother Qiao, when Uncle Guan comes back, I will definitely show him this, and let Uncle Guan reward Brother Qiao heavily. ”

He Xiu handed him another cup of tea with both hands, and couldn't stop praising again and again in his mouth, Qiao Shenming took the teacup with both hands: "Brother He, what are you talking about, I can serve the Guan family, that is the blessing that I Qiao Shenming cultivated in my previous life, I can't wait to run around every day, haha." ”

"Yes, yes," He Xiu handed over the full fruit plate: "Brother Qiao, come, these fruits were specially brought back by Uncle Guan from Chang Youzhou, and he didn't even eat He'er." ”

Qiao Shenming put a peach-sized strawberry into his mouth and said uneasily: "Brother He, you don't want to ask me to do something, do you? ”

"Look, look, I'm treating you Brother Qiao, but I see me as that kind of person, hehe, Brother Qiao, don't hide it, I really admire your ability to do things, just this one reason, nothing else!"

He corrected his words to the confession, his expression was rigorous, and Qiao Shenming believed: "Haha, I just said, as the chief housekeeper of the Guan family, you should share the worries of the Guan family, by the way, do you have a frown in your heart about the disappearance of the girl?"

"Without the slightest eyebrows," He Xiu shook his head in reply, and said in a half-loud voice, "The only way to do this is to place our people in two teams and secretly investigate suspicious people." ”

"I've put people in place, but the answer is the same, they haven't found any anomalous people. ”

"It's still Brother Qiao's thoughtfulness, you can get everything done with trivial things, I He Xiu knows that I can't do it. ”

He Xiu shook his head, sat down gently, stuffed a strawberry into his mouth, admired and sighed.

"Hey, Brother He, you're wrong, without your arrangement, I just want to be busy, but I can't be busy, can't I?" Qiao Shenming said as he chewed a blue Bodhi in his mouth again.

"One yard to one yard, Brother Joe, I mean really. ”

"Brother He, I'm also serious!"

Then the two looked at each other and laughed.

"Brother Qiao, I saw on the notice at the North City Gate that our little emperor personally announced to the world that everyone in Nanyang Kingdom would worship martial arts, in case the Northern Liang invaded again, and there were no soldiers available, I think this is also a good opportunity to make money. ”

He Xiu means that the iron ore has been formed, not only to create iron tools for agricultural tools, but also to fully bloom, especially in response to the call of the court, to open a shop specializing in making weapons, Nanyang is on the verge of war, the horn of war may be sounded at any time, and weapons are necessary for war, in this way, the iron ore business will become bigger and bigger.

Qiao Shenming was full of praise after listening carefully, and said after analyzing it left and right: "The idea is very desirable, but there are already a lot of shops in Qiman Town that build weapons, and their marketing channels have been formed, we haven't done this business, I don't have confidence in my heart."

He Xiu first began to analyze the weapons used by those soldiers at the north gate that day, and he believed that the quality of those weapons was not good enough, and the edges of some weapons had rusted, obviously in a hurry when they were built, or the heat could not be grasped.

Then there are those problems that are caused by the merchants, for the sake of their own interests, must have mixed other substances in it.

The third point is that Guan Kaihui and Xiankang have a deep relationship, and with the introduction of this first-class official in the DPRK and China, presumably the sales of weapons will definitely be wider.

There is also a fourth point, which can stimulate the competition of peers, so that the quality of weapons will reach better, and it is undoubtedly the most worthy of affirmation from the standpoint of the country.

Fifth, more people can get more labor opportunities, especially those who survived the disaster year, compared with planting crops and relying on heaven to eat, this labor income will definitely be much more stable.

After listening to He Xiu's analysis, Qiao Shenming was sure in his heart that the Guan family's iron mining business would definitely be as he said, the future would be prosperous, maybe they could really sell weapons to the barracks, if this was the case, then the Guan family could be said to have ascended to the sky in one step and directly connected with the royal family.

Thinking of this, he felt more and more that He Xiu was a terrible character, and if anyone was to be his enemy in the future, he would only be tied up and played, and the other party would not have the slightest chance to bite back.

The two then discussed a lot of details in detail according to the five points just now, Qiao Shenming recorded these details one by one in order to prevent omissions, and recorded the current problems in black ink, the more difficult places to solve in blue ink, and the most difficult places to solve in red ink.

He Xiu continued to add opinions to these details, and then Qiao Shenming decided whether to adopt it or not, and the sky darkened with the palm-thick book on Qiao Shenming's desk.

Guan Zhihe actually came to their side as early as when Qiao Shenming recorded the relevant matters, how could he watch the two talking about business and couldn't bear to disturb, until He Xiu stood up and stretched his muscles, he was startled: "He'er, when did you come?"

"Hmph, just when you said that you wanted to use my father, He'er came in, what you said, I wrote it all down, and when my father came back, I told him the old man word for word, hum, see how you end. ”

Guan Zhihe stared at the empty tray, and after saying it angrily, the remaining two looked at each other and covered their mouths and snickered, and Qiao Shenming even held this book in his arms and slipped away.

"That...... He'er, things are not what you heard, you know, business is to use each other to generate unexpected benefits, I believe Uncle Guan will not care about me, hehe. ”

He Xiu stuffed the Bodhi he had forgotten to eat just now into the center of her palm and said emptily.

"Hmph, Brother He Xiu, do you want to use this Bodhi to block He'er's mouth? ”

After all, Guan Zhihe still chewed the Bodhi in her mouth and said with a wicked smile.

"He'er, then you say, what do you want?"

When He Xiu was dealing with other things, he could always come up with many strange solutions in his head, but when he came to her, he had no choice but to torture himself, so he said.

"Very good, I'm going to give this iron mine a name!"

He Xiu thought that she was going to make some unpleasant request, but he didn't expect it to be so simple, and said casually, "Okay, meet you, even if it's ugly, I will accept it!"

"Brother He Xiu, you ......"

"Haha, okay, I won't tease you, I guess He'er has already thought about it!"

"Hmph, it's pretty much the same, just call it, Taoyuan Ore Vein!"

"Taoyuan Ore Vein? He'er, this name is both nice and freehand, okay, just use it!"

"Hee-hee-hee......"
