Following.

After Chen Mo got up early, he came to Huilong Bay in the autumn cold.

Although he subleased 50 acres of land to Mrs. Wang in front of Wang Fuxing before, the latter also asked Xu Lidong to tell him that he would clear up the relationship with the outside world in the future.

But as the actual owner of the charcoal kiln, Chen Mo will not really be the shopkeeper, on the contrary, he has to make further detailed planning.

Fifty acres of land, it is most suitable to build twenty charcoal kilns, and the charcoal burned by the dry distillation method is fast and good, and it is a waste to build more.

Fifteen of them are used to burn charcoal to keep out the cold, and five are used to produce hollow charcoal blocks, which can fully meet the needs of the city.

After the brand and reputation are out, the production capacity will be expanded according to the actual situation, and if the 50 acres of land are fully utilized, there is no problem in supplying 20 Baihe counties.

This kind of thing can't be done overnight, so Chen Mo is not in a hurry.

The most important thing at the moment is to build the fence, the warehouse, and the workshop as soon as possible.

Because the charcoal kiln laborers are all hired through the dental shop, at least the problem of food and housing must be solved, and we can't delay all the time on the road.

The neighbors are close, but the problem is that in Chen Mo's planning, those people have other uses.

After inspecting the charcoal kiln, Chen Mo went to the river in the south of the village again.

The abundant water source is ideal for building a sake brewery.

Next, it is halfway up the hill to the northwest.

If the local materials are used, the brick kiln and the ash kiln can be started as soon as possible, and the biggest problem is the capital and land.

Relatively speaking, the former is easy to solve, you can borrow it from Huameishu and Wang Pozi first, but you can't wait for the Tanxing Restaurant to make a profit.

The land is much trickier.

It's not that I'm worried that Wang Fuxing will get in the way, but this kind of resources are all controlled by the three elders of the town, but if anyone disagrees, it is impossible to get their wish.

This is the reason why Chen Mo instructed Mrs. Wang in advance to dredge up the relationship as soon as possible.

It's a pity that it backfired, as soon as Chen Mo returned home, he saw Xu Lidong guarding the carriage.

"Sir, you are back, and the princess is waiting at home."

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo had a sense of foreboding.

"I can't tell you the specifics, so I'd better ask Mrs. Wang." Xu Lidong urged.

"Okay, you tie up the horse and go home and drink some hot tea to warm up."

After instructing Xu Lidong, Chen Mo walked into the courtyard and saw that Mrs. Wang was pulling Qin Xianglian to talk.

"Xianglian, it stands to reason that the old woman should have come to apologize a long time ago, but she has been entangled in everything recently, so it has been delayed until today, you must accept this bracelet."

"Lady Wang, this thing is too valuable, and the slave family doesn't dare to accept it." Qin Xianglian was terrified, "And the slave family really doesn't understand, how can I apologize?" ”

"I almost asked you to sign a deed of sale that day, and the old woman has been blaming herself very much these days, and after thinking about it, I still have to come to the door to make amends." Mrs. Wang explained.

"Mrs. Wang, this is wrong." Qin Xianglian shook her head and said, "It was the slave family who took the initiative to come to the door that day, and the princess did not have any harsh reprimands. ”

"Xianglian, no matter what, you must accept this bracelet, otherwise the old woman will have a bad conscience." Mrs. Wang insisted.

"Wang Po, slave ......"

"Xianglian, since Mrs. Wang has such kindness, you can accept it." Chen Mo came closer.

"Brother Mo is back." Mrs. Wang greeted with a smile.

Mo Ge'er?

Qin Xianglian was suspicious, her eyes glanced back and forth between Chen Mo and Mrs. Wang, and she couldn't figure out the relationship between the two.

Mrs. Wang was so shrewd, and explained with a smile: "Xianglian doesn't know, the old woman made a deal with Brother Mo before, and the relationship is close. ”

Buying and selling?

Qin Xianglian was even more confused.

When I saw the two of them nodding at each other, I suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.

Official, did you sell yourself?

The bracelet is to add color to herself, and later the princess will take herself away and sell herself as a slave and concubine?

Thinking of this, Qin Xianglian looked at Chen Mo in horror, her voice full of tremors.

"Official, the fifty taels of silver yesterday were the income from trading with the princess?"

"Yes."

Chen Mo nodded, secretly praising Qin Xianglian's clarity of thoughts.

"Why do officials do this?" Qin Xianglian suddenly burst into tears, "Since the official has this thought, why did he refuse the slave family's deed of sale before the county test?" ”

"Xianglian, what are you talking about?" Chen Mo was stunned when he heard it.

Seeing that there was a misunderstanding, Mrs. Wang hurriedly explained: "Xianglian, you are wrong to blame Brother Mo, how could he sell you to the old woman?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Mo completely understood what Qin Xianglian was thinking.

I feel both funny and distressed.

The former doesn't need to be said, the latter is because the greater Qin Xianglian's reaction, the more it shows that she cares about herself.

If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!

So Chen Mo didn't do any blame, but just stepped forward to help Qin Xianglian wipe away her tears.

"Silly girl, I can't protect you, how can I push you out?"

"Official, yes, is it the slave family who thinks wrong?" Qin Xianglian's face turned pale.

"It's just a mistake, it's a big mistake." Chen Mo said softly, "I'm still waiting for you to have children, and I'm waiting for you to accompany me to grow old, how can I be willing to be separated from you." ”

"Officials, slaves, slaves don't dare to think nonsense anymore."

Qin Xianglian burst into tears and smiled, blushing and lowering her head.

"Come, put the bracelet on." Chen Mo picked up the bracelet and put it directly on Qin Xianglian's wrist, "My deal with Wang Po is fifty acres of land in Huilong Bay. ”

"Didn't Wang Papi lease it to us for free, I knew I couldn't handle him, so I made the first move, so I got the fifty taels of silver."

"That's right." Mrs. Wang answered, "Xianglian, you don't know, Brother Mo'er has done the old woman a great favor by this move, you see those charcoal kilns in Huilongwan, and all of them are chickens laying golden eggs." In the past few days, those who have gone to the charcoal store to order goods are about to break the threshold. ”

"Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess." Qin Xianglian hurriedly congratulated.

"Rejoice and rejoice." Mrs. Wang smiled.

"Xianglian, go get two bowls of medicinal tea, you can't let the guests be thirsty." Chen Mo said.

"The slave family will go here, and the official will chat with the princess slowly."

Seeing Qin Xianglian go out, Chen Mo asked with a straight face: "Mrs. Wang, coming to the door so early, there must be something urgent, is it a charcoal line or a ......?"

"The Baoshan thing." Mrs. Wang hurriedly answered, "If you want to wrap up the mountain, you must pass the pass of the three elders of Qingyang Town." Li Yanhao said that the old woman can say a few words. Huang Zheng opened his mouth for five hundred taels of silver, which is simply eating people without spitting out bones. The most hateful thing is the royal power, which is simply not in the oil and salt. ”

"Huang Zheng can talk about it again, and the price is all negotiated." Chen Mo groaned and said, "On the contrary, it is royal power, and it is indeed not a thing. ”

"Brother Mo, in fact, the real problem is not in the royal power." Mrs. Wang reminded.

"Who's that?" Chen Mo asked.

"The chief of this village, Wang Fuxing." As she spoke, Mrs. Wang lowered her voice, "On the surface, the two are uncles and nephews, but they are actually biological father and son. ”
