Chapter 14 Returning

Today, Liangpi is going to send the wild cow to the camp outside the city, and the long-lost family martial arts are about to be learned! followed by the green pine, the stone, and the pillar Xiaogang took the Shigang village coachman and the newly arrived retired lone soldier to drive the wagon and ox cart on the street with 200 ingots of gold. There are only more than 100 ingots of gold left in Qingsong's room www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, and the money is like flowing water! Qingshi and his uncle took the men from the village to look after the house.

The stone led the carriage, and Xiao Gang and Qing Song sat in the carriage. The pillar followed the first carriage, the coachmen each led their own oxen and carriages, and the leather armor soldiers silently followed the convoy, their eyes were confused and sluggish! Qingsong always felt that this was wrong, but he had nothing to do, so he quietly asked Xiao Gang what to do, Xiao Gang pulled Qing Song's clothes and stood up, as if he was naughty to ask his grandfather to carry it, put his little mouth to Qing Song's ear and said: "These veterans are sick in their hearts, we have to find something to do for them! If something is done, they will soon be fine! Simply put, it is a sense of existence!" Qing Song doesn't understand what existence is at all, thinking about what Xiao Gang says!

Along the way, Xiao Gang asked for this, and the green pine nodded in agreement, but as a result, the pillar was smashed down with a gold ingot, and people couldn't find it, so they didn't buy anything! The veterans couldn't stand it and scraped together some money to buy something for Xiao Gang, and Xiao Gang shouted thank you with a grin! One by one, the veterans seemed to have their body temperature back and gradually became angry! Qing Song also thanked him vigorously and said: "Alas! People are old and don't think about it well! I didn't think of bringing some change at all! Thank you!" I never mentioned anything about repaying the money, anyway, I just said thank you!

Finally, when they arrived at a large two-story store selling clothes and cloth, Qing Song shouted for stones, stopped the convoy, hugged Xiao Gang, left the pillar, and the coachman went in with the stones and all the veterans. Looking at the ragged veterans, the shopkeeper wanted to invite them out, but looking at Qingsong and the three of them, they knew that this was a big customer. The shopkeeper came up to greet him warmly, but Qingsong only cared about himself and played with Xiaogang and ignored it. Or the stone said to the shopkeeper: "Don't bother our boss to play with his grandson, Sun Gongzi is happy to buy out your shop!" Suddenly Xiao Gang shouted: "Grandpa, let's go! I want to drink water!" The shopkeeper said in his heart, "No, this little ancestor is not happy!" Hurriedly greeted the guy: "Go and serve tea to the little master! Use the best flower tea! You go and move the stool for the old man to sit on! You go to the kitchen to find some snacks for the little master to enjoy, hurry up!" Qing Song finally glanced at the store and nodded, the store was flattered!

The stone struck while the iron was hot and whispered: "How about it! The little master is happy and can say anything!" The shopkeeper also whispered to the stone: "Thank you!" and then turned around and shouted: "Serve some tea to these masters, these uncles see that they are the caretakers who the old man invited back! Xiao Gang took the pastry and put it in his mouth vigorously, saying that it was a pastry, but in fact, it was some dried fruit cakes and the like, or salted cakes. When Xiao Gang felt that he had eaten and drunk enough again, he pointed to a veteran: "Grandpa, this uncle just bought me a worm that can fly in circles, and grandpa wants to reward him!" and pointed to one and said, "This uncle bought me a fan made of feathers!" Qingsong nodded and said to the stone: "Make two sets of clothes for each of you, bright and bright!"

Shi turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Big business has come to the door, I, these guys, you can find two sets of clothes for each of you, from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom! It's the New Year, you have enough things in this store! Wait for the boss to buy, you don't have enough to sell! You know the price! We don't care, but I care, if you sell it at a high price, how will I mess up my life in the future?" The shopkeeper nodded: "That's! Who are you? Can I be confused by you? Yesterday you emptied such a big vegetable market! The villain understands!" The hippie smiling face also winks at the stone!

Shi pretended to be very surprised and looked at him: "Yo! You even know about this!" "Hehe! Yesterday, a guest came to the house selling baked cakes across the street and wanted to buy some vegetables and vegetables, but as soon as he arrived at the vegetable market, it was empty! Not to mention the vegetables, he couldn't even see anyone, so he ran to an old friend to find out that a noble man came to the city and sent the vegetables and meat he bought like a mountain to the camp outside the city! The villain often chatted with him when he had no business, and he told me early this morning! Ten carts, two carriages, eight ox carts, a fairy-like old man like a fairychild, and a shrewd and capable butler to drive the cart himself! I guess you are!" After speaking, he handed over a money bag that seemed to have some weight, and wanted to bribe the stone, but the stone glared at him: "Hurry up and put it away! I can follow the old man of my family to be satisfied, don't use these things to spoil the old man's way!"

As he spoke, the veterans' clothes were all matched, and the stones asked them to try on them one by one, and the wrong size was immediately changed. The shopkeeper stuck to the stone like kraft candy, repeating every request of the stone! Xiao Gang was still looking here and there, his dirty little hands touching and touching that. Suddenly, he said, "Grandpa, what they do is not as good as the previous one!" The shopkeeper almost stumbled and almost fell, and Xiao Gang said, "But they invited Xiao Gang to eat pastries! Grandpa will buy some of their things!" Qing Song smiled and said, "Okay! Count them as if they have some eyesight!" and pointed to the store and said, "Come, I'll ask you!"

The shopkeeper flashed in front of Qing Song at a galloping speed: "Boss, please speak! Sun Gongzi is so cute!" Qing Song was very happy: "Although the workmanship is poor, the fabric is okay, how many fabrics do you have in this store?"

The shopkeeper was dizzy for a while and couldn't figure it out, so the stone patted him: "My boss said that he wanted them all, that is, he wanted them all, you hurry up and settle the accounts, pay attention to your quotation is high, and we will leave directly!" The shopkeeper pressed the price very low, and finally removed the odds, and twenty gold emptied all the fabric in the store! He only quoted the price of one gold for thirty sets of veteran's clothes, and Qingsong said that he was honest and bought one set for each of the coachmen, and the result was only two taels of gold for nine sets.

After the transaction was completed, the group walked down again, and the veterans were also a lot more energetic when they put on their clothes, and the purchase was really exciting, and the mood was better. After one morning, they pulled the ready-made cloth of the whole county town into the courtyard, and after lunch, everyone began to sweep the grain on the market in a hurry, sweeping and sweeping, sweeping and sweeping all the sorghum in the warehouse, but fortunately they did not sweep the buds and rice. No one has ever done this, and everyone doesn't know what Jingrong is, and even Xiaogang doesn't understand Jingrong. After they finished sweeping, the prices of cloth and grain in the market went up one by one, and finally it was the county guard who used the power of the government to bring the prices down again. If they sell things at a high price, they can make a lot of money. However, the city guard, who is arrogant and dedicated to the people, will definitely crack down on this practice! The people bought it back for their own use, not to make money, so the city keeper put up with it! He silently wiped their butts.

Qingsong and the others didn't know that the county guard had saved him a big trouble! After loading the goods and starting to transport them to Jinsha City, Liangpi personally escorted the carts back and forth with all the twenty-five carriages he brought, and the checkpoints on the road did not dare to stop him. Every day is a back and forth, the post station in Jinsha City has become a warehouse, the post station is full and stuffed into the Soldiers and Horses, fortunately, there are many soldiers stationed in the Soldiers and Horses Division in Jinsha City before, and now there are fewer soldiers and many empty houses. Jinsha County has gained some benefits, pretending not to see anything, and tossing with them. Seeing that the ten-day lease period was approaching, Qingsong asked the stone to give the landlord a gold ingot, and there were too many things to move!

The last troublesome thing, Xiao Gang also felt the changes in the market, salt is expensive, and he didn't dare to sweep it, and it was not easy to sweep it! After thinking about it, he still went to the soldiers and horses envoy of the county town, and the soldiers and horses took the lead in negotiating the conditions with the city guard, and the city guard personally contacted the Yanzhen Division and asked them to quickly go to the salt-producing area to allocate 2,000 stone of salt, and at the same time asked Qingsong to pay 50 gold to directly pull 1,500 quintals of salt from the Yanzhen Division. What everyone didn't know was that the general promised the city guard to send 30,000 leather armor soldiers to help Fengxian County comb the river and dig a reservoir in this winter, but fortunately, the city guard also promised to take care of the food, but he didn't pay the wages! In doing so, everyone bypassed the decree a little, but the effect was very good, and the harvest in Fengxian County next year will definitely be better! The county guard used only 500 stone of salt in the treasury to support the entire county town and the surrounding villages, and the salt used by the county town was also walking on thin ice!

The soldiers and horses of the county town gave Liangpi an assistance in transporting grain, and Liangpi dared to come and go like this for more than ten days. It was early winter when all the grain, cloth, and salt were finally transported to Sands City. On the last trip, Liangpi's twenty-five carriages and ten oxen and carriages brought by Shi went to the county iron ingot warehouse and took away the 10,000 catties of iron ingots deposited. This thing belongs to Daqin's strict supervision of strategic materials, but fortunately, it is because there is an edict for the construction of the city.

After most of the day, everyone returned to Sands City, and it was inevitable to meet the county magistrate. As soon as he returned to Sands City, Liangpi was bold, settling the veterans and retired military horses in the post station, and pulling down the iron ingots as if they were his own home. The coachmen were given enough wages, but they were not allowed to disband, they were required to carry them to Shigang Village, and the veteran ruffians were asked to escort the carts with ten leather-armored soldiers. Fortunately, there was little rain at this time, and the drivers happily and tiredly pulled the goods and hit the road again. There was only one carriage left for the stone, and he took a few pieces of cloth Qingsong and Xiao Gang to visit the county order.

Liangpi rode his military horse and followed Qingsong to point the way to the county commander's mansion, and it was getting dark. The prefectural order also returned home after a day's work, not a very large house but also a three-in-depth yard. Liangpi stepped forward to call the door, two servants opened the door to greet Qing Song and others, and the county commander also walked out of the gate in civilian clothes to greet everyone, who looked thin in his early forties and was more than four feet tall, Qing Song got out of the car and came to the stone to offer cloth and silk cloth, and the county commander smiled and took a few people into the hall. After some conversation, I learned that the county order's name was Wanjuan, and he was born in cloth and was fifty-three years old, and he was recommended by the county guard Li Siran to enter the official career. The maintenance is excellent, and the future nobles are also very polite and polite. Jinsha City has now become a very unimportant small county, so it is his turn to do this county order, not to seek merit, but to seek no fault, for the Qingsong family to build a city, as long as it is not very excessive, he will agree. Everyone had dinner at the county commander's house, and Xiao Gang saw that the county commander's family was bitter and quietly asked Qingsong to send a gold ingot when he left. The county order happily accepted it, he was a dead pig, he was not afraid of boiling water, he had money to make money, and he dared to do anything with a conscience.

That night, he then visited Liangpi's house, looking at the situation of Liangpi's family, Qingsong felt cold for a while, and suddenly thought that this time he would take Liangpi's family back for the New Year, and Xiaogang also agreed. So Qingsong said to Liangpi's parents: "Brother and sister, Brother Kaishui and my third brother Qingshi are like siblings, and now we are gradually improving, Liangpi is busy with military affairs. Would you like to go back with us, so that someone can take care of you!" Liangpi's mother said: "How dare you bother the uncle's family! Although the old man is old, he can take care of the children here, sewing and mending, pulping and laundry, and so on!" Qingsong persuaded again: "If the younger brother and sister are willing to go, it is not very cold in this early winter season, and it only takes two days to arrive, and the children will naturally go together." I have a lot of open space there, so I can build a garden for my younger siblings so that the children have a place to play, and we are really uneasy about my siblings here. Liangpi is also worried about the family's repeated mistakes, do you know?" "Oh! really?" Qingsong nodded and talked about what he encountered when he came to Sands City, and at this time, Liangpi seemed to be talking to someone in the courtyard. Liangpi's mother shouted, "Who is the child talking to?

As a result, two people came in, one of them turned out to be Liangpi's brother-in-law! The two stood without speaking, and Liangpi's mother knew that it was true, so she said to Qingsong: "Thank you, uncle! Tomorrow, the old man will follow you with the children! In the future, he will bother Uncle to take care of you!" and looked at Liangpi and his brother-in-law and said, "You two must not do those things in the future! Wallet, what is the matter with you coming to your brother-in-law so late?"

Liangpi's brother-in-law's name is still good, called wallet. Xiao Gang almost didn't laugh out loud! The wallet looked at Liangpi hesitantly, and Liangpi replied to him: "His business there is not good! Seeing that Uncle Qingsong has bought so much fabric, he wants to ask his uncle to do some work!" Qingsong still looked at what the two of them were doing and said, "I can give you some work to do! Are you willing to work honestly?" Wallet nodded and hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes! Although my craftsmanship can't catch up with the Lifu shop opposite, but the things I make are also very solid! This Sands City is getting worse day by day, and I really have no choice but to join hands with my brother-in-law to run into other people!

Qingsong asked Liangpi: "Is it really serious?" Liangpi nodded: "Yes! His craftsmanship can't catch up with the Lifu store, things are cheaper than them, and there were more people in the past and you could buy some out, but now there are fewer people It's getting more and more difficult!" Qingsong thought for a while and said, "Do you take over the business of shoes?" The wallet replied: "Of course you do! How much do you want to do?" Qingsong said: "You can make me 3,000 pairs of men's shoes! It's about the same size as Liangpi! I won't give you the fabric, you go and prepare the fabric yourself." How much does it cost?"

He counted his fingers with his wallet and said, "Shoes are a laborious task, costing twenty dollars, and the wages are twenty-five dollars." Forty-five dollars a pair, three thousand pairs cost 135,000 yuan, which is equal to one gold, three taels and five thousand gold!" Qing Song said: "Then you can make me four thousand pairs! How long will it take?" "If you go back to the boss, if the whole family does it together, it will take half a year!" "If I give you two gold, you don't have to ask me for change! If you are honest and willing to work, you will take your whole family to make shoes for me in the future, although it is hard, I will not treat you badly!" Let Liangpi take out two ingots of gold and give them to the wallet, and when he was in the county town, Qingsong gave him ten ingots of gold, so that he could use them to reward the soldiers, as well as the future carriages and horses! Liangpi took the wallet and thanked him, and then sent the wallet out, and the wallet went home happily with two ingots of gold.

After dawn, the mother and child with Liangpi drove the carriage by the stone and set foot on the road to Shigang Village, and the veterans helped Qingsong to a retired military horse to lead, and the other military horses also carried some food. Still returning to Shigang Village from the official road, Qingsong told Liangpi's mother and the veterans that we would be home tomorrow after a night's rest here. As soon as Shi returned to the village, he distributed the coins exchanged in the county seat to everyone, and some families carried wooden basins and bamboo baskets to receive the coins. Nine coachmen have already been paid by Liangpi in the county seat, and some more have been made up after the stone has returned. This year, the winter in Shigang Village has been better.

It was still early, and Qing Song took the pillar and Xiao Gang to visit the aunt of the stone on foot, and on the way, Xiao Gang found some sulfur stones. Xiao Gang picked up the stone and asked Qing Song to call the village after he returned, and mobilized the villagers to find something and transport it back to his village. Came to the former village masa's house to give a gift to make up for the last meeting gift, this time Qing Song and the godsister explained the reason and reported their names. It turned out that the old lady's name was Cuihua and she was also a person with no surname, and the old man knew that Qingsong was building a city and was willing to take the whole family over to help. The three of them had dinner at the old lady's house, and after dawn everyone packed up and set out on the way home.

Along the way, they didn't dare to stop too much, and the veterans took retired military horses and took some goods and followed closely. The men who came out of the village carried the sliding poles made at night, sat on the women's dependents and children, changed hands, walked slowly, and finally arrived at the village when it was dark. Liangpi's mother and Cuihua's family were arranged in the front yard, and more than a dozen veterans lived in Xiao Gang's house, and now Xiao Gang's family has moved to the backyard of the big yard, so the house is empty. Spread a thick straw mat on the house and put animal skins on it, so it was used as a temporary residence for the veterans, and it was still warm!

After dawn, Qingshi took the veterans to drive the horses out of the village to build the road with the fired green bricks, Qingsong and his uncle's family made a wheelbarrow in the backyard, Qingshan and Zhu brought some people to steam the grain and prepare to make wine again, Xiao Gang instructed his uncles and uncles to level the foundation in the open space in the village to prepare for the construction of a new house, the children knew that Xiao Gang came back to join in the fun, and the older children also helped carry the green bricks.

The Chinese New Year is two months away, and after the New Year, thousands of retired veterans will come with their families and even relatives, and 900 retired military horses will also arrive together. The invisible pressure is so real for the leaders of the entire village that several old men and Xiao Gang know that this is the price of recklessness. The gold obtained from the brewing made everyone dizzy, and they received too many people and livestock. Fortunately, Aunt Cuihua's family was invited to lunch, and although it was not exquisite, it was a very delicious and appetizing meal that diluted this pressure a lot. After the meal, Qingsong expressed his gratitude to the Cuihua family and the old ladies, and the old ladies were very happy to realize their value in Qingsong's gratitude.

Xiao Gang looked at so many dishes and chopsticks to be cleaned, and it was very laborious to pull Qingsong and Qingshan, who had just eaten lunch, to the backyard, and explained the soil method of alkali and asked the two old men to hurry up. Qingshan said: "I'd better go! Big brother and Xiaogang go to build a new house! You are the only carpenter, and you are needed more! I will take the big cow and the peach and them to do something!" "The soil method of alkali is very simple, the black grass ash is finely crushed with water, stirred many times, and then heated and cooled out, and it does not pollute the environment! Qingshan can take the big children completely.
