Before going to bed at night, Yuan Ning found all his younger brothers and sisters, along with Aunt Zhang and Aunt Luo.

A few days ago, something happened to Sister-in-law Liu's family, so she simply quit her job. And the maid that Fang Yan is choosing has not yet been finalized.

There are only a few people in the family.

Yuan Ning took out a small box and said with a serious face: "As the family members of the county magistrate of Tianqing County, we are actually very unsafe. ”

"How so?" Shu Yu raised his head, "Eldest sister, aren't there a lot of servants guarding our family?" "The entry and exit are either accompanied by the men in the shop, or protected by the servants.

"You're still young," Yuan Ning shook his head slightly, "You haven't seen the treacherous things in this world yet." I don't need to say anything else, you won't understand it.

"All you have to do is remember what I have to say. From today onwards, each of you should bring something for self-defense, do not leave alone, and do not go out without permission. ”

She distributed the same small hidden weapons for self-defense, in addition to the hairpin and belt, the accessories on her body were also made articles.

Like Zhong Ling and Ji Xiu, the bracelets on their wrists have also been carefully transformed.

After the assignment was completed, she demonstrated the usage one by one, and then asked the youngest Ji Xiu to demonstrate.

If Ji Xiu has mastered the essentials of use, others must be familiar with it.

After teaching this, Yuan Ning's eyes fell on Bo Zhong, "From today on, you and Zhong Ling have their own priorities, you are responsible for taking care of Shu Yu, Zhong Ling is responsible for taking care of Ji Xiu, if something happens to the two of them, I will only ask you!" ”

The two hurriedly made a guarantee.

After a pause, Yuan Ning remembered the flexible teaching method of this Master Hong, and added: "If Master wants to take you out, you must also get my permission, and I will also communicate with Master Hong in advance." ”

Hong Fuzi is the person found by Su Heting, and he should be able to understand this.

Aunt Luo didn't say anything, but she was more attentive when she urged the children to practice. She knew that in such a short period of time, in such an inattentive practice, it was absolutely impossible to train these children to become martial arts masters.

But the purpose of physical fitness can definitely be achieved.

In the same difficult situation, people who are physically strong always have a little more advantage.

If you have prepared for the worst in advance, you can accept it regardless of the outcome.

Affected by this, Aunt Zhang also chased after Aunt Luo, wanting her to teach her some tricks.

Aunt Luo smiled: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I refuse to teach, but ...... With all due respect, your body and bones are already hard now, and if you force yourself to practice, if you don't get it right, you will sprain your muscles and bones, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"So, it's impossible to learn the trick. However, I can teach you some simple and practical moves. ”

Aunt Zhang's face was already obviously disappointed, and she was surprised and delighted when she heard it, "Really? ”

Aunt Luo nodded lightly and gave her a few strokes, a bit similar to Cheng Biting Jin's "three-plate axe", although the moves are simple, but Aunt Zhang has a lot of strength because of her perennial work, so it is very suitable for her, and if there is a guy in her hand, she can bluff people.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, you practice these tricks dozens of times a day," Aunt Luo nodded, "It's good for you." ”

Aunt Zhang was excited and began to practice every day. She came from a poor background, and hard-working is an inherent quality, so although she had a sore back after two days of practice, she still persevered.

Yuan Ning was also very satisfied when he saw that everyone listened to his words and had such a serious attitude.

The result of communicating with Hong Fuzi was also very pleasant, and Hong Fuzi promised her that if there was a plan to go out, he would definitely talk to her in advance.

Spring is coming, and it's a good time to take the children out and release paper kites, but he also needs to be prepared.

After not worrying about these aspects, Yuan Ning continued to study how to improve farm tools.

She is also thinking about whether she can build a semi-automatic harvesting machine. This kind of machine has been eliminated in modern times, even in remote areas, but for this era, it is an artifact-like existence.

For people who are proficient in mechanical manufacturing, there is no difficulty, the difficulty is that the current forging technology, welding technology, and alloy technology are not up to standard, it is likely that their own drawings are drawn, but the real thing can not be made.

In order to make a physical object that can be put into use, it is necessary to meet the current state of the art as much as possible......

So she first drew an ideal drawing, and then scrutinized it little by little, found materials that did not belong to this era, found materials of this era, and then modified.

Drawings are replaced and destroyed, and the original artwork must not be preserved.

In this way, when you get busy, you don't feel that time flies slowly.

Ten days passed quickly, and it was soon mid-February.

Outside is the season when the grass is far away, the green willows are new and yellow, the apricot blossoms are blooming, the spring breeze is blowing, and it is slightly cool and not cold.

But because the north is dry, the sand and dust are also larger.

Returning with the spring breeze is Yu Jingze.

His face was full of weather, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but his eyes were bright.

Yuan Ning was invited to the front hall and sat down behind the screen as usual.

Sitting in front of the screen were Yu Jingze, Nanchuan, and the masters in the house.

Yu Jingze told everything he had surveyed, and Nanchuan immediately said: "Yu Gongzi, please rest assured, after I got your letter, I have already made arrangements, crossed Xiushui County, and directly took our son's post to Yuhua County, for the sake of insurance, Qingzhou Mansion is also ventilated."

"Moreover, although the mine is shared by us and Xiushui County, the mountain wall in Xiushui County is steep, and there is a river, which is too difficult to mine, so the possibility of mining rights falling into our hands is very high.

"The most important thing is that Xiushui County doesn't know about the discovery of iron ore there now. We've got a head start. ”

Everyone's expressions relaxed when they heard this.

"However," Nanchuan said, "Our disadvantage is that Childe is not here. ”

Su Heting's absence means that there is no one in charge, and many things are not easy to decide.

Su Heting is a careful person, and he calculated all the possible things before leaving, but he didn't calculate that he would find such an iron mine.

Yuan Ning pondered for a moment, "Let's go through the process first, as long as the formalities are complete, I believe the possibility of falling into our hands is still very high." And there is one thing that we can't compare with others, our county lord has too much credit. Now it's shining brightly.

"I don't think anyone would dare to confront him at this time. However, to be on the safe side, we should be prepared for both.

"In addition to the normal process, Yu Gongzi, you have found the best blacksmith to purify the iron ore you brought back, and I will guide them to create new farm tools."
