Chapter 37: The Prisoners

"But old man, from drawing to finishing, this axe doesn't take three hours, three hours, it costs two thousand taels, isn't it a bit excessive?"

Gu Hong was entangled, he saw who drew the picture, when they returned to the county seat, they met those peasant officials, followed those few people for a long time, let Cai Guan make peace, and then talk about letting Cai Guan teach Xin Kun, Cai Guan chased after Guo Peng and cut the sword......

After coming and going, he thought that he would have to come to Xinjia Village again tomorrow. As a result, Guo Peng would rather be beaten by his cousin, but also drag Cai Guan to Xinjia Village to see the genius Xin Kun, as if even if it was so late one night, it would be a waste of genius.

Gu Hong almost wrote a letter and sent it back to the capital to Lord Ren, this prince is really angry.

No matter how angry they were, they had to follow, but as soon as they returned, their axes were ready. What is this, for more than two hours, they dared to ask them for two thousand taels.

"Then come back in seven days, and after seven days I will sharpen the axe and make a holster." Xin Kun is not angry, this mentality is too normal, it takes so much money, the result is that people don't need to play it out in three hours, if it is himself, I am afraid that I will feel distressed.

"Do you want to add money?" Gu Hong felt that this person who got into the money eye no longer had any expectations.

"Don't, I originally wanted the master to do the rest of the work, but it was also his filial piety to the master." She smirked at Gu Hong. The money for the axe was given by the old man, and he said that it was a birthday gift, so he couldn't give nothing.

The most time-consuming thing about striking iron is the trimming and supporting in the back, and it is not much time for striking iron. What's more, she is working with her grandfather and master craftsmen.

"Gu Hong!" Cai Guan smiled and arched his hand at Xin Kun, "Little brother, thank you for your hard work, I left Brother Peng here, please instruct him on how to polish." Next month will be my uncle's 40th birthday, so I don't dare to delay. ”

"That's fine." Xin Kun smiled, already thinking about whether to print the word 'Shou' on the leather case. Forty years old, forty years old is worth living?

"I heard Brother Peng say that you want to take the entrance examination. You're welcome, I'll send some books back, and I'll personally guide you to the county government every seven days in the future. Cai Guan saw that Xin Kun was about to refuse, and pressed it with a smile, "It's rare that you have such a self-motivated heart, and I can't bear to lose the pillars of the country." ”

"Your Excellency!" Xin Ye's face stiffened, and he immediately stepped forward.

"The old man is not polite, and he is very happy that he can educate talents." Cai Guan laughed as he spoke.

"My lord, hurry, the household department expedites the paperwork." After the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, a small official rushed in, still holding a letter in his hand.

"Go back to the county office." As soon as Cai Guan bowed his hand to everyone, he left in a hurry.

As soon as Guo Peng finished waving his hand to his cousin, he saw Xin Kun glaring at him.

"My cousin will definitely send someone to deliver the money." Guo Peng said immediately.

"It has nothing to do with money, reading and taking the test are two different things, I like to read, and I also like to strike iron. But I never intended to test for fame. Xin Kun glared at Guo Peng with anger on his face.

"You should go to the fame test, you are so smart, it would be a pity not to take the fame test, I can't let you not take the fame test." Guo Peng thought about it, and he said it quite reasonably, and he said it loudly.

Xin Kun opened his mouth and wanted to roar, but after opening it for a long time, he finally got deflated. She is really not uncommon with such people, she just thinks that she is for the good of others, and then points fingers at other people's lives, but the problem is that there is really no shortage of these people in any generation, and there is no way to manage any generation.

"Go sharpen the axe." Xin Kun could only roar in the end.

Guo Peng shrugged his shoulders while holding the axe, and ran to the well to sharpen the axe.

"You go and teach him, don't wear it out." Xin Kun casually recruited a small worker, pointed to the well, turned around and smiled at his grandfather, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Xin Ye also frowned and patted her lightly, "You go back, I'll have someone bring you food back when you go back." ”

Xin Kun was no longer polite to him, and went home with his head down.

"Old man, Brother Kun is really a good seedling, it's a pity not to study and not test for fame. Composed...... Master Cai personally taught, and it will become a great weapon in time. ”

Gu Hong didn't know why, these two saw Cai Guan both express their attitudes and wanted to teach them in person. With the little prince's guarantee and the relationship of the Cai family, as long as there is no problem with IQ, the road ahead is smooth and wide.

This is the luck that no number of people can ask for, and now these two have expressions of death.

"I have a grandson, and I want to keep him around. You have also seen that he inherited the mantle of our family, why should he be the official of the Narausch? The old man looked at Gu Hong indignantly.

"People are hollowing out their minds to get promoted and make a fortune, you are really ......" Gu Hong was speechless.

"My grandson earns two thousand five hundred taels a day." The old man looked at Gu Hong coldly.

Gu Hong opened his mouth, as if what he said was quite reasonable, but he was really speechless. With Xin Kun's money-making brain, what kind of official is it, it's okay to take people and play some beautiful things, you can really collect money while sitting. Life is still comfortable, and there are no worries in the officialdom at all.

Now he also wonders if he really did the right thing. Forcing a child who doesn't want fame to be motivated seems to be a bit of a thing.

In the evening, Guo Peng entered Xin Kun's room with two large bowls, and Xin Kun was reading a pile of books in front of him.

"Why are there so many books?" Guo Peng had entered this room before, and there were not so many books.

"Your cousin sent it, but I didn't send it to the workshop, I sent it home directly." Xin Kun didn't mind reading, but she minded that Guo Peng would make the decision for her. It is a pity that there is no book on the history of this dynasty here, perhaps in Cai Guan's opinion, this is known to everyone, and there is no need to send it.

"Eat first, your family will eat wheat rice again today, and ask me, why don't your family grind wheat into flour and eat it, but cook it into rice?" Guo Peng looked at Xin Kun.

Where did Xin Kun know why, she forgot to ask, anyway, her idea was, don't underestimate the wisdom of the working people, grandpa They ate like this, there must be a reason for eating like this.

"Why is it such a big bowl, I can't eat it." She knew that food was scarce here, and she didn't dare to waste it.

"I know, you eat half of it, and I'll keep the rest. I deliberately asked them to serve a little more, I couldn't fill a bowl. "Guo Peng doesn't look like an aristocratic child at all, he doesn't have the bad problems that nobles should have.

However, this aristocratic child doesn't mind, she does. How can you give people what you have eaten, this is irresponsible to others.

She got up and went to the kitchen of the house to get a small bowl back, divided one bowl, and pushed the rest to Guo Peng's side, and ate it casually.

"You make so much money, why don't you eat better?" Guo Peng spoke again.

"In this year of famine, who knows what will happen next year, dig deep holes and accumulate grain!" She glanced at Guo Peng, of course, she didn't dare to say 'not to hegemon'. Is she, a small person, dominating the blacksmith world? If you have an internet connection at this time, you may want to try it.

'Dig deep into oil, accumulate grain, and not seek hegemony' is what Taizu said when he founded the country in the 21 st century. And this sentence comes from when Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was in Huizhou, and asked the scholar Zhu Sheng for his opinions on his future strategic policy, and Zhu Sheng said: "Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king." ’
