Chapter 5 I Have a Big Baby

"Brother Moqian, in front of you is the peach blossom forest in our county. "www.biquge.info Changgui walked up a hill quickly, pointed ahead and said to Mo Qian, his tone revealing a little excitement.

Mo Qian looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that not far from the hillside, there was a lush peach blossom forest.

Although it is not the flowering period and there are no beautiful peach blossoms, this peach forest is still dancing in the wind, graceful, like a sea of turquoise, but it makes people feel slightly cool in this anxious season.

In the distance was a blue sky, which Mo Qian would hardly have had the opportunity to see in the afterlife.

I am used to taking out my mobile phone to take a photo, and share it with the circle of friends after taking it, Mo Qian used to be like this, no matter where he travels, the first thing is always to take pictures and put them on social networking sites, everyone poses well, all of them are smiling like flowers, after shooting, okay, let's call it a day.

After digging for a long time, I found that there was nothing, and looked at the empty palm.

"Whew, forget I've crossed over." I really miss it, I really regret it, if I could have cared more about some of the people around me at that time, maybe I wouldn't have left so many regrets

Mo Qian asked, "When the peach blossoms bloom, there must be a lot of people coming here, right?" ”

This peach blossom forest is really shocking, endless, as if to pick up the sky, wait until the peach blossoms bloom season, the peach blossoms all over the mountains, think about it is a little intoxicating.

"That's natural, every March, when the peach blossoms bloom, not to mention the people of these ten miles and eight towns, even many dignitaries and nobles in Jian'an City have brought their families here to enjoy the peach blossoms, which is really lively." Changgui was proud when he talked about this.

"Then why is Ningyuan County still so poor?" Mo Qian suddenly thought of this problem, it is said that the nobles generally travel, so they have enough time to arrange, so they will arrange to live in Ningyuan County for a few days, and the food and clothing are enough for the people of Ningyuan County to make a lot of money.

Not to mention the people of other townships, when others come here to enjoy the peach blossoms, then get some peach blossom special products to sell, and then get some surrounding entertainment can greatly promote the economy, but Ning Yuan is still so poor, there must be a problem in this.

Speaking of this, Changgui looked discouraged, "Who said it wasn't?" Those nobles all have a lot of money and spend a lot of money, but they don't live with us. ”

Changgui said, "Our nearby Anyuan County, the county seat is built in style, and the dignitaries are willing to go there to live, our county order said, we just need to be at ease with the agricultural mulberry, don't pay attention to these things, so we want to sell some peach blossom wine and are driven back by the county order." ”

"What a nerd." Mo Qian muttered, an ordinary person knows that selling some peach blossom wine can improve his life, and a county magistrate has read so many books, but he only knows how to persuade farmers and mulberry to bind the people to the land.

Of course, this is indeed the limitation of the times, these days, the use of grain to pay taxes, more people to carry out trading work, in their eyes means that the labor force in the land will be reduced, the labor force will be reduced, the tax is not enough, the unlucky county order.

"Huh? What's that? Mo Qian turned around and found a peak standing between the peach forests, which was not obvious from a distance, but it was very abrupt when viewed closely.

"It's just a peak, but we people here call it the Gem Mountain?"

"Gem Mountain? Could it be that there are gems growing in the mountains inside? Mo Qian smiled.

"Hehe, you'll know when you see it." Changgui sold a pass.

Closer, you can see that this peak is extremely dangerous, the peak is as sharp as an awl, straight into the sky, the ground is scattered in chaos, there is no way to go up, presumably the people are not interested in developing this, in addition, there is no difference from other peaks.

Changgui picked up a stone on the ground and handed it to Mo Qian, and when he took it, it was an ordinary stone, but Changgui motioned him to take a closer look, this one was unbelievable, the edge of the stone was faintly red, shining with brilliance.

"Hiss" Mo Qian took a long breath, "Ruby?!" ”

Looking at the towering mountain again, Mo Qian's gaze was extremely dull, this Nima is a gem mine, okay, others can make a fortune by relying on a garbage dump, you are good, you can live so poor and low-key while guarding a gem mountain, I really have to admire the sentiments of the ancients.

But at this time, Changgui poured a scoop of cold water on Mo Qian at the right time, "Brother Mo Qian, I know what you are thinking, this gem is here, but it is not valuable." ”

Feeling Mo Qian's strange gaze, Changgui continued, "We have found someone in the county to see it, and the color of this gem is not good, even if it is a complete ruby, it can't be sold for a lot of money.

Besides, the origin of this gem is not good, it grows in a hard stone, and it is too difficult to take it out, and if you are not careful, it will make a crack, and it is really not as good as a stone. It's better to plant crops in peace! ”

Mo Qian rolled his eyes, he was truly speechless, it is indeed difficult to take out such a large rock, let alone ancient times, but it is also difficult to cut out the gemstone completely in modern times.

But...... Why do you have to take it out of the rock? Mo Qian was speechless, it was difficult to take it out, so if it was carved into a work of art, it would be worth much better than selling gemstones?

Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Mo Qian didn't say this, just took two stones in his hand, politely declined Changgui's kindness to take him on his walk, bought a few carving knives on the side of the road, and hurried back to the county office.

"My lord, I watched the stars last night and discovered the way to get rich in this county, I have to retreat and study it, and no one will disturb me in the past two days except for the food delivery."

Ignoring the surprised eyes of the county magistrate, and returning to the back hall to close the door, Mo Qian couldn't help laughing.

"Make a fortune this time!"

Although the people in the yamen looked at each other, they didn't say anything, and the absurd things of the previous county commander had gone away, and they had long been strange.

Mo Qian slowly calmed down, as a science student, his hands-on ability is not bad.

In addition, I have systematically studied carving for two years in college, although I can't carve any master-level works, but with the blessing of this stone with its own gem halo, it is still possible to fool people.

As for asking others to help carve, this Mo Qian never thought about it, not to mention how the carving was, there was no way to solve the problem of confidentiality alone.

"Well, let's calm down and do a good job."

One morning two days later, before dawn, a figure quietly slipped out of the county office with a small burden, looking left and right all the way out of the city gate, this figure was naturally Mo Qian.

After two days of busy work, carving the stone decently in front of a fan, you can find a seller, and naturally no one in Ningyuan County is idle to buy this.

Second, out of the need for secrecy, he didn't dare to let the people nearby know, so he could only make his own move and prepare to sell it in the nearby Tong'an City.

It took half a day to rush to Tong'an City, and Mo Qian had to sigh that this was the largest and most prosperous city he had seen since he crossed.

The wall of more than 30 meters high and more than 10 meters wide, the word "Tong'an" of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the book is far from being comparable to Ningyuan County, the street is very spacious, the road of bluestone slab street, four carriages walking side by side is not a problem, the street is lined with two-to-three-story buildings, or teahouses or taverns.

There are also many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open space on both sides, and the sound of selling and shouting is endless.

The endless flow of people, those who are in a hurry, those who drive to deliver goods, the sons and daughters who hold folding fans, and the officials who are as stable as Mount Tai in the sedan chair, of course...... and Mo Qian, an official who is tired of being a dog.

The county magistrate is now squatting on the steps on the side of a restaurant, exhaling heavily, damn, I still overestimated the drawing ability of the ancients, or I still overestimated the ancient people's temperament, Mo Qian found that he was pitted by the ancients, almost a map exchanged for a horse, and the quality was not guaranteed at all.

According to the marking, it was only twenty miles, but Mo Qian walked fifty miles before he saw the gate of Tong'an City.

Set up a bamboo pole, put a piece of cloth with words written on it, this is the signboard, when I first wrote, I didn't know what to write, like how good others wrote, bringing you the pleasure of going in and out of the top and bottom, this advertising word, with a lot of feeling.

Isn't it just an elevator?!

Later, when I thought about the ink in my stomach, I still forgot it.

Okay, if you don't have this strength, don't play this trick, write something intuitive.

The signboard was just like this, Mo Qian didn't take out anything, sat down on the steps, and sure enough, someone came, only to see that the person who came was dressed in a colorful robe, wearing a hat crookedly on his head, in his twenties, holding a birdcage in his hand, standing crookedly in front of Mo Qian's signboard, really some old Beijing uncle walking birds.

I saw him insert the fan into his back, and pushed the hem to the side quite exaggeratedly, wanting to make the image of a fairy returning from the wind, shaking his head and reciting the signboard written by Mo Qian.

"I-have-a-big-treasure-shell"

Mo Qian almost died of shame when he heard this, he originally thought it was nothing, wasn't it just a concrete statement of facts?

You see, the whole advertising sentence has only one adjective "big", isn't that fair and objective?

But when others read it, they feel a little crooked.

A fortune teller next door who was fairy-style and bone-wise listened, turned around, and his beard was almost crooked, "Vulgar and despicable." ”

Look at what people write, it's really different, what "half-immortal fortune telling, not allowed not to collect money".

Hi! It's not like I'm half a pound or two with my master.

He glanced at the fortune teller with disdain, and as soon as he turned around, he was instantly surrounded by people.

I saw a person dressed as a scholar holding a fan and pointing at the flag, while others dressed in short shirts teased each other, "This guy said he has a big baby, but I don't know if it's a sharp weapon that crisscrosses flowers?" The people next to him laughed quietly.

The little girls next to me covered their faces with handkerchiefs and made a shy appearance, Hey, hey, don't think that I can't see like this, where are your eyes looking?

After reading the signboard, some young women actually looked straight towards Mo Qian's crotch, which frightened Mo Qian's underneath.

The scholar "snorted", put away the folding fan, turned around and pushed aside the crowd, walked out, shaking his head and sighing as he walked, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient.

The lonely figure and the worry about the world in that tone made people deeply convinced that this must be a great man who could shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the world.

It's just that Mo Qian saw this majestic man turn into a place called Qunfang Pavilion at the corner of the street, presumably to save the world, and Mo Qian was deeply convinced.
