Because of the fact that Tan Ji translated "Daze Geographical Chronicles" in the vernacular, Sheng Jiaojiao's anxious mood eased, and said to Qi Huan:

"Since Tan Ji values you so much, you will go to the East and West Second Camp a few more times in the future, and we will sell them more side dishes and medicinal herbs."

"Okay."

Qi Huan was full of energy, his face was full of unconcealed happiness, and he pulled Sheng Jiaojiao to sit on the side of the kang, and said:

"Third sister, count quickly, how many copper coins are here?"

Sheng Jiaojiao saw his expectant expression, shook his head, poured out the bag of copper coins on the small table, and counted them one by one.

While counting, he calculated:

"Now that you have a mule, you don't have to go to the trailer by yourself, you can tie the cart to the back of the mule, go to Dongying and then Xiying first, and you can deliver the goods from the east and west camps in one trip."

Qi Huan nodded, with a pair of bright eyes on his little face, and asked:

"Okay, sister, I've been away for so long, my aunt isn't angry today, right?"

"No, there are guests at home, and I didn't notice that you were missing."

Sheng Jiaojiao said, and pondered:

"In the future, you have to go out once a day, we have to find something to do for the second uncle, don't let her keep her eyes on you all day long."

"What's the matter with my aunt?"

Qi Huande didn't think as much as Sheng Jiaojiao, only with a pair of big eyes, looking at Sheng Jiaojiao, looking like she had an idea.

Sheng Jiaojiao thought for a while, supported her forehead with one hand, and fiddled with the copper coins on the small table with the other hand, and said:

"The third aunt has a lot of strength, in addition to planting crops, she can also take care of the vegetables in the backyard, and the land behind her is still less."

As she was talking, outside the house, there was the sound of the nest coming and leaving, and Qi Sanniang shouted:

"Four, have you gone to carry the water today?"

Now that Tan Ji and Qi Zhang have won the battle, and the village of Jumping Horse Lake has been unsealed, the militia will naturally no longer have the work of delivering water.

Although Qi Hua was forbidden to go to the market, the daily task of the Qi family to carry a jar of water to the house every day was still indispensable.

Since the morning, the Qi family has not seen Qi Hua, and finally, he has shown his whereabouts at night, of course, the first thing is to be nagged to carry the water.

Qi Huan sat opposite Sheng Jiaojiao, lying his head on the small table, and when he heard his aunt tell him to carry the water, he jumped up and responded:

"I haven't gone yet, I'll go now."

Before the words fell, Qi Zhang came in from outside the house with a smile and asked:

"Where did the mules come from in the yard?"

Qi Huan stood by the kang and replied honestly,

"Brother Halberd sent it."

After saying that, Qi Hua went out to fetch water.

Outside, there was also the voice of Qi Sanniang's interrogation,

"Where did you fool around again today?"

"How dare you, A-Niang"

In the room, Qi Zhang walked over with a smile,

"This time, Ah Ji has a few good autumn blows."

In the room, Qi Zhang sat in the position where Qi Ju was sitting, and put a bulging and heavy bag on Sheng Jiaojiao's small table.

"I heard Jian Tuo say that Erlang wrote back to ask you to do business, this is the money collected during the encirclement and suppression of the blacksmith shop, I didn't hand it over, I took a large part of it and distributed it to the brothers in the barracks, so that they can take it home to honor their parents, take care of their wives and children, and give the rest to grandma's family, and the other part is all for you to make capital."

In fact, it is true that Qi Erlang often writes back, but he has never said anything to Sheng Jiaojiao about asking her to do business.

Because many people in the family are illiterate, even Qi Zhang has entered the military camp in the past few years, and with the help of Sheng Jiaojiao, he began to read and write.

Therefore, the letters at home are all read by Sheng Jiaojiao to the family, and Sheng Jiaojiao replies to the letter.

Therefore, Qi Erlang wrote in the letter whether he wrote or not to let Sheng Jiaojiao do business, the Qi family didn't know at all.

Sheng Jiaojiao borrowed the name of Qi Erlang and just messed around.

When Qi Erlang came back, she went to Qi Erlang again.

In this regard, Sheng Jiaojiao, who has been acting on the scene and has been around for a lifetime, is not panicked at all.

Following Qi Zhang's words, Sheng Jiaojiao looked at the pocket he put on the small table, but it was much larger than the money bag that Qi Huan took home.

It seems that Qi Zhang, like Tan Ji, listened to what Sheng Jiaojiao said last time, and the spoils collected from the war were not handed over.

She hurriedly took it and looked at it, and it was full of pieces of silver.

Sheng Jiaojiao took out a piece in surprise and weighed it, a piece of silver weighed ten taels.

That is, to ask:

"Big brother, you haven't handed over all this silver?"

This time, he and Tan Ji both made meritorious contributions, but Qi Zhang and Tan Ji went in different directions this time, Qi Zhang went all the way to investigate and encircle all the blacksmith shops in Jumping Horse Lake, and Tan Ji and the subject country fought a few small battles head-on.

If you really want to compare, Tan Ji's oil and water may be richer than Qi Zhang's, but because Qi Zhang's encirclement and suppression is a blacksmith shop, he gets more cash.

Qi Zhang nodded, took out another apple, and took a bite, making a crisp sound.

"My affairs in the barracks are too trivial, although the subject country has been suppressed for the time being, but looking at their actions, it seems that they are going to make big moves, and you have to worry more about the affairs of the family in the future, the whole family has studied and is doing business, so as the eldest brother, I want to support you."

Again:

"You bought this apple well, what kind of merchant still sells this? Next time, you buy more. ”

His aunt Zhou took a bunch of apples and distributed them to the family, and everyone said that they were delicious, sweet and sour, crisp and delicious, and juicy to quench their thirst.

It seems that Sheng Jiaojiao does have a business vision, looking at the apples she bought, she took them out and sold them in the village, and some people wanted them.

Sheng Jiaojiao saw Qi Zhang nibbling on apples happily, so she suddenly said:

"Big brother, I want to use this money to make a few pieces of land."

Qi Zhang gnawed the apple and left only one apple core, and when he heard this, he looked at Sheng Jiaojiao strangely and asked:

"Why do you have arable land, why do you need to fix it?"

There is no shortage of land in Zhishou County, if you want, the kind of barren mountains and Gobi that no one is encircled casually, anyway, it is useless to circle it, and you can't plant anything.

Because of the lack of water.

Sheng Jiaojiao was silent for a moment, and then said:

"This time I accompanied the four guys to nourish their injuries in the east, I saw with my own eyes that it is not easy in your military camp, the imperial capital is thousands of miles away from our small border county, and this has not yet started a formal provocation, and there is a shortage of food and grass in your military camp."

After a pause, Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Qi Zhang, and said:

"So this time, I took some medicinal herb seeds from Dr. Quan, and found some planting methods in the book, so I thought, our family has a few pieces of land, first plant some medicinal herbs, if the planting is not good, forget it, if it is planted well, we can let the whole village, and even all the families in Jumping Horse Lake, plant medicinal herbs in case of unforeseen needs in the army."

Otherwise, it's good to read more of this book, in the eyes of others, Sheng Jiaojiao, who has been in private school to the present, is more knowledgeable than them.

In this yellow earth, people who have dealt with the wind and sand all their lives may not know, Sheng Jiaojiao can learn the solution in the book.

Qi Zhang had no doubt about what Sheng Jiaojiao said, because the problem she said was also the concern of all the military camps in Zhishou County today.

I saw Qi Zhang thinking with a serious face:

"What did Jiro say in his letter? The pharmacist he is looking for may have a stable and large supply of medicinal materials? ”

"Well, now that this business hasn't started yet, we can't put our eggs in one basket."

Sheng Jiaojiao's lips had a slight smile on the corner, and under the candlelight, her eyes were full of calculations, fiddling with the fingertips of the silver coin, and gently tapping the silver.

Seeing Qi Zhangshen nodding thoughtfully, she said softly again:

"The matter of the supply of medicinal materials by the pharmacist, I naturally want to seek stability and a large amount, but we have to support ourselves, or what I said with Dr. Quan, if there is a war in the future, we will all plant a piece of medicinal materials in our home, and we will not lose our lives for no reason because we have no money to buy medicine."

"You can have such considerations, Brother is really relieved."

Qi Zhang, who was on the other end of the small number, nodded to Sheng Jiaojiao, he was shocked by Sheng Jiaojiao's delicate thoughts, and he didn't expect that Jiaojiao'er, who was regarded as the pearl in the palm of his hand at home, would have such a delicate calculation.

But Sheng Jiaojiao's intentions are far more than that, she smiled:

"Brother said this, then he agreed, let me take the silver first, and the whole matter of a few acres of land."

and busy:

"Let the third aunt go to tidy up, after she finishes planting the crops, she will tidy up the land, let's tidy up the medicine field earlier, and there will be a harvest sooner."

When Qi Zhang heard this, he lit the candle and asked:

"Now the kid in the family is restless, running out all day long, you let the third uncle go to the medicine field, who can control the four guys?"

It's because she doesn't want Qi Sanniang's eyes to stare at the four guys all the time, Sheng Jiaojiao has to open Qi Sanniang's eyes.

In the candle flame, the feather eyelashes on Sheng Jiaojiao's face trembled slightly, covering her shining eyes.

"The matter of the four guys, I have also thought about it, it is good for the kid to be stubborn, but the third uncle's medicine field is organized, in addition to practicing literature and martial arts every day, the four guys can also help the third uncle to make the medicine field, besides, he also found a lot of excellent quality wild elm today, and he is not completely stubborn."

Hearing her say this, Qi Zhang also agreed.

As early as the afternoon, Jian Tuo told him that Qi Hua had found a basket of wild elms.

It's just that Sheng Jiaojiao first talked to Dongying's power shed about the supply of medicinal materials, so the basket of elms that Qi Hua found was sent to Dongying.

Qi Zhang hadn't seen the basket of elms, but Jian Tuo said that it was in excellent condition.

"Then let the third uncle go to the medicine field, I thought, let's let the wild elm grow here, we must have spent a lot of effort to plant it, and it should also be able to grow."

He asked with great curiosity:

"Your second brother said that there is a pharmacist who supplies medicinal materials, but you have to send someone to consign? Was he delivered directly to the village, or to the barracks? ”

Sheng Jiaojiao has long been prepared for this, she is used to lying, every time she lies, she must make this panic and the layout beautiful.

She laughed:

"This is only where to go, we came back from Dongying, and there are only a few days in the world, the pharmacist wants to supply medicinal materials to the barracks, so naturally he can't help but prepare first, the medicinal materials sent by the four guys to Dongying today are half wild, and half are some samples sent by the pharmacist when they went to the market before, and there are many procurement matters in it, Brother doesn't have to worry about these things, I will do it properly."

Qi Zhang was right to think about it, since the pharmacist supplies medicinal materials, as long as the quality is good and the supply is stable, he will definitely meet this pharmacist in the future.

But now that everything is incomplete and there is no explanation, I am busy seeing this pharmacist, and I will not do business with his family in the future, but waste my energy with this pharmacist.

It also makes people feel that it is profitable, and gives birth to many delusions.

"By the way, big brother, I still want to buy some trees and plant trees."

Sheng Jiaojiao saw that she had already obtained Qi Zhang's consent to plant medicinal herbs on the land, and began to think about the next matter.

She really wanted to buy a tree.

Because the apple tree in the col is too strong, if she buys the tree and comes back and plants a small forest in the backyard of the Qi family, and the apple tree is found in the future, she can say that it was bought.

Qi Zhang looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with some concern,

"You are planting medicinal herbs and trees on the land, and you have a lot of ideas."

He couldn't figure out what Sheng Jiaojiao was going to do here, where to go.

Only way:

"I have no objection to buying trees, but how many trees can we plant in this place?"

"Let's buy a few trees to look at first, and tidy up the land, if the planting is alive, grandma will be able to cool off under the tree in the future, and build a grape trellis next to it."

Sheng Jiaojiao gestured, the expression on her face was full of yearning, as if she had seen such a scene.

This longing appearance made Qi Zhang blurt out, and if he wanted to hit her, he couldn't bear to say it.

The Qi family originally loved Sheng Jiaojiao, as long as she didn't ask for the stars and moon in the sky, generally no one would refuse her request.

Isn't it just about planting a few trees? That's it.

So Qi Zhang asked again:

"Do you have a way to buy saplings? I've heard that it has to be shipped from another county. ”

"Yes, yes, there are people selling on the set."

Sheng Jiaojiao really has a way to buy saplings.

She remembered clearly that in her previous life, she was assigned to the Vaulting Horse Lake because of the waste prince, because she kept complaining that there was loess everywhere and there was not even a tree.

So the management of the set deliberately wrote an excerpt on this matter and handed it over.

In order to abolish the prince, Jumping Horse Lake scraped together a sum of money, bought a batch of saplings and transported them to the set, and made a special trip to plant them around the waste prince's mansion.

If you do something like this to please the emperor's son, it's impossible not to report to your superiors and ask for a reward.

So Jumping Horse Lake rewrote a new excerpt, emphasizing that the waste prince was in low spirits because he ate too much yellow sand, so Jumping Horse Lake thought about the body of the nobleman, and planted various precious trees around the nobleman's mansion.

He continued to hand the fold upwards.

When the county king of Zhishou County saw it, he allocated another sum of money to buy a batch of larger saplings and plant them around the abandoned prince's mansion.
