The weather finally cleared, the dam and the reservoir were saved, Ming Qian was also tired and lost weight, Pearl looked distressed, although the matter of the Li family has not been resolved, but she and Ming Qian still have feelings, naturally distressed, and should be distressed. Made many supplements for him to eat.

At the end of the project, the wages were paid, and those who came to serve the conscription did not see a few thinner, but were able to eat enough, and there was meat to eat, and the overseers were not so fierce and vicious with whips, and now they were paid, and the most one person, because he worked well and quickly, got two taels of silver!

The autumn harvest is the beginning, and the original harvest was wheat and something, but now it is corn and soybeans. Because they were worried that the officials who were doing things were dissatisfied, they were envious of the lack of income and envy, and their financial resources were cut off. All Mingqian listened to his wife's suggestion and opened a woolen mill in the name of poverty alleviation in the county government, and Pearl provided the formula and technology, so that the wool they sold in the county was of good quality and bright color, and the market was very good.

For the people of Taizheng County, I am very grateful to Mingqian for this county order! There are more people who come to their house to send things, pearls are not good to go out, those farmers come to send some eggs and vegetables, pearls let them be collected, and then take the muslin cloth that has just been shipped from Zhuozhou, all cut into rulers, and send a piece when they come, which is a return gift. Sometimes, I will also give some sugar, brown sugar, or snacks and the like.

In addition to embroidery, pearls now process gemstones in space, and now her craft is getting better and better. She processes large gemstones, diamonds, etc., which are rarely used in jewelry, and at most pearls are kept for collection.

Pearl knows that someone wants to be strong. I drew drawings, gave technical guidance, sent people to strictly supervise, and did as much as possible, estimating the timing of half a year, and there were machine tools, and copper and iron materials were not enough, enough for them to make a lot of bullet shells. After that, Liu Xuan was sent to collect some things to make gunpowder for him.

In the previous life, my father-in-law was a military enthusiast, and there were many strong policies in all the families, as long as they were slightly transformed. That's it. Pearls don't just make bullet casings for those people. It is even more important for them to make parts for guns, as long as the important parts are made by Pearl herself.

On Ming Qian's side, they began to be busy collecting taxes, and now they have no arrears in the county order. Grain storage. Taxes and silver are handed over. Today's tax silver is said to be thirty percent more than in the first few years, which shows Mingqian's ability.

Qu Wang finally came, and there were still many guards who came with him. Pearl thought to herself, what this guy brought must be very precious.

When they arrived in the inner room, the subordinates of the two people stood outside the door and guarded, Qu Wang carefully guarded a box in his arms to the table, and took the key from his neck to open the box. Walk to the front, take out one, look carefully, the more you look at it, the more surprised you are, this night pearl generally refers to fluorite, that is, it absorbs sunlight during the day and shines at night. Without waiting for Pearl to ask, Qu Wang said,

"These six pearls of the night, but I took a lot of effort to get them. This is not an ordinary night pearl, which does not need to absorb light sources during the day. ”

"Oh? It turned out to be so. "The pearl is also happy and excited, the diameter of the big pearl is about five centimeters, and the small one is also three centimeters, all exuding green light, very bright, such a beautiful night pearl, so gorgeous, so dazzling, the pearls are shocked, you can see the hair within a hundred steps, how bright this must be! The reason why Qu Wang didn't dare to take it out was probably because he was afraid that he would not get the silver, but it would lead to death. immediately agreed to give all those pearls to Qu Wang.

The four night pearls were placed directly in the space and kept as heirlooms for the children in the future. Qu Wang also brought some dried seafood this time, and heard that there was cement here, so he was very excited, went to see it once, and directly ordered 10,000 bags.

At noon, when we were still eating, everyone could feel the joy of pearls, and several children were also happy. But at noon, Mingqian couldn't come back, one thing is that the county runs a woolen mill and needs to go to supervise and inspect, the second thing, there are a lot of thieves in Dazheng County, very rampant, making people panic, although everyone closes the windows and doors at night, but to no avail, even the Hu merchants outside the gate often lose things. This has a direct impact on the reputation of the imperial court!

There was no way, Ming Qian put on makeup and went out for an unannounced visit with six guards. Pearl was really worried about whether he would be able to eat outside food, and besides, he was so young, could he do it? Of course, Ming Qian has been learning martial arts, learning martial arts from a very powerful martial arts guard. There is no way to see the pearl, but everyone says that it is very good, and it is estimated that the suspicion of holding stinky feet is greater.

After a few days, it really made Ming Qian gain something. Pearl sent the little girl Yingying to listen, and the girl Yingying is the leader of the 38th Realm. After half an hour, he found out, and ran to the pearl.

"I've seen Madame."

At this time, I remembered to salute, and Pearl put down the embroidery needle, raised her head, and said, "Say! How's the front? ”

Yingying began to learn vividly, "Our adults have gone out for private visits these days, and we have inquired from the mouths of which landlords and Li Zheng, which thieves have leaders, and which leaders have a comfortable life, relying on these ill-gotten gains, building high-rise buildings, buying concubines, and eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, which are better than the food of our county grandfather's family!" They were all dressed in fine silk. When they arrived in the lobby, their legs were shaking, and some people were peeing their pants! Haha......"

Pearl's face sank and she said, "Get down to business!" ”

Yingying immediately stopped her voice and continued, "All of them are said, and they want to call out all the stolen money. But the adults didn't agree. ”

"Why?" Mingyue's girl is a bit realistic, with a round figure, she is very happy, and she is usually a stupid big sister, but for Pearl's orders, she is completely obedient. It's a bit reckless to speak, but Pearl just likes her honest nature.

Yingying then continued, "Our family adults said, 'You are so assisting the government to arrest the thieves and make meritorious atonements, not only are you not guilty of the past, but you can also become a small official of the yamen. ”

When Pearl heard this, the corners of her mouth curled, this Ming Qian, there is really a way, Yingying continued, "Those people are all happy, and they kowtow to adults, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and they are lucky in trouble." But those people are afraid of reprisals, and when those people are released from prison, they will be unlucky. Our adults said a few words and explained some things beside them, and those people left happily.

When Mingqian came back in the evening, Pearl asked him what he had said to those people, and it turned out that Mingqian had let these people feast all the thieves, and when they were drunk, the leaders were stained with red clay on these thieves. It's up to tomorrow.

Pearl smiled and hugged Mingqian and kissed him on the face, making Mingqian blush. Pearl thinks that his husband is really smart!

The next day, Ming Qian was so busy that he caught a bunch of thieves, and he couldn't even turn the prison cells in the county. I heard that more than 230 people were arrested. Pearl was shocked when she heard this.

With so many people, the cells were very crowded, and they had to be fed, and Pearl thought of a way for her husband to let these people be re-educated through labor. The roads were dirty, people were sent to clean the streets, and the garbage from the city was transported to the incineration plant. The rest of the people dig the drainage facilities in the city. It really doesn't work, those who are thieves, some of them have crafts, let them do carpentry work in the workshop, make gold and silverware, and the woollen mill also needs people to wash wool. In short, it is very useful. Ming Qian was very happy, and felt that this proposal was very good, and besides, many places now have to use people, so let these people go to tile factories, cement factories, etc., and the food and accommodation are good, which is more than robbing in prison.

Pearl also went to ask about the situation of the women's prison, there are twenty-one people there, and they are generally good at embroidery and weaving, just right, create value for everyone! Pearl also said that you can have delicious food if you work. Of course, these people are very happy. As for the embroidery patterns, it is more interesting, they are all the best silk provided by pearls, and the embroidered ones are dowry paintings, which are lifelike and sell very well. When the time comes, the money will be sold, and it will be directly distributed to those who manage the women's prison. Everyone was happy.

There are three kinds of wool, coarse, medium, and fine, all of which are all wool, and people weave a lot of clothes and shawls according to Pearl's teachings and sell them in ready-to-wear stores. Pearl herself wore it to the banquet, of course, it attracted a lot of attention, and led the trend, and now the ladies and ladies in the city are fond of it, and knitting sweaters is also easy to innovate, and it has swept the entire Zhangzhou for a while.

"Lady's talent! Our son is really worrying! This kid has so many questions to ask that I can't even answer. ”

Pearl smiled and said nothing, her son was somewhat influenced by herself, so it was naturally like this. Pearl let the girls in the family knit sweaters, and she still concentrated on embroidery. Now that most of it has been completed, it's almost a little bit, and when this flying embroidery is finished, the pearl plans to embroider some small interstitial screens, which is more cost-effective! There is also sincerity and face in gift-giving.

Counting the time, Zhao Qingyu is coming. This time Pearl told her that the weapons and firearms she had prepared for him, as well as bullets, and the bullet casings on Zhuozhou Zhuangzi had been prepared, because of Pearl's order, they would definitely not discount. Because you have done well and overdone, you have to give a huge bonus. And all the gun parts made by Zhuozhou Zhuangzi were also transported to Pearl's house.

The brass used to make bullets was all sent by Qu Wang and Shopkeeper Liu, and some were bought on the black market, all of which were enough. With 50,000 rounds of bullets and 500 gun parts, plus the key parts that Pearl made in the space herself, it was absolutely no problem to make do with 500 pieces. I also made ten Browning on Zhuozhou Zhuangzi. Two rounds of bullets. When the materials arrived, Pearl began assembling guns and adding ammunition in the space. (To be continued......)
