Of course, Ning Qingxi would not tell Fu Linjun that they wanted to build a city, but they did not have enough manpower, and they wanted to pull some people in from outside, so they had to buy food.

"Aunt Fu, you have also been to our place, we haven't grown our own food yet, we all rely on the mountains to find it, or it will be cold in a few months, and it will be more difficult to find something to eat in the mountains at that time, so we want to buy some grain and go back to grow it ourselves."

"When we went to ask the shopkeeper of the grain store, they said that they could not buy in large quantities, and if they wanted to buy in large quantities, they needed a certificate from the General's Mansion. Originally, I wanted to come to Aunt Fu for your help, but I didn't expect you to meet us first. ”

Fu Linjun hadn't gone out much, and during that time in the mountains, she lived in her room most of the time, and what she heard and heard was described by Chang Wencheng.

That is, on the day of departure, I took a quick look.

Fu Linjun pondered for a moment, "Xixi, I know that you are a smart girl, and you must also know what your aunt's current identity means. Food is very important to us, and the reason why your Uncle Chang gave this order is also to ensure the survival of the city and the army. ”

"In this way, you tell your aunt how much you need, and I'll see if I can find a way to move some out."

Ning Qingxi didn't know how much Ning Changrong needed, "Aunt Fu, my father knows how much he needs, don't worry, we won't take your food for nothing." ”

If it were other forces, Ning Qingxi and they might not be able to change the glass, but the other party was Chang Yuan, and Aunt Fu was so good to her, no matter how she said it, she also knew each other, and if she wanted to pit others, she should also pit others.

……

After getting drunk, several people were arranged to rest in the guest room.

Originally, it was one person in one room, and the subordinates in the house couldn't stand it and wanted to be in one house, so after getting Chang Yuan's permission, they all arranged one for them.

When they were at the banquet with Ning Changrong, Ning Daniu and Ning Husheng didn't say a word, so they drank with their heads bored.

Later, with the help of wine, they said a few words, but as soon as they heard that they were going to live separately from Ning Changrong, they were unwilling to live or die.

Ning Changrong is their backbone, if they live separately, who would dare to stay in the General's Mansion?

Ning Husheng said while burping: "General Chang is really hospitable, there is no big man at all. But the momentum of that body is really bluffing, just sitting there and not saying anything, I am scared enough. ”

Ning Daniu pouted, "That's because we saved his wife, and I see that he seems to have taken a fancy to our evergreen ability, do you want to change someone else?" ”

Ning Changrong's slightly cloudy eyes instantly returned to clarity, carefully reviewing the details of today's banquet in his mind.

Ning Daniu talked to Ning Husheng for a long time, and found that Ning Changrong didn't react, so he couldn't help but look curiously.

"Evergreen, what's wrong with you?" Why are you motionless?

Ning Changrong came back to his senses, "It's okay, aren't you drunk?" Don't go to a break? ”

Ning Husheng waved his hand, "I was quite dizzy just now, but I feel much better after drinking this decanting soup." ”

Ning Da Niu touched his head, "This thing works quite well." ”

"Evergreen, what can we do about food?" Ning Da Niu hadn't forgotten the purpose of their trip.

Ning Changrong stood up, "You guys rest first, I'll go out for a while, I'll be back in a while, you don't have to worry about food, if it goes well, we can go back tomorrow." ”

Ning Husheng and the others glanced at each other, feeling that these words were a little inexplicable, forget it, if you don't understand, you don't understand.

Ning Daniu looked at Ning Husheng's departing back and thought thoughtfully.

Ning Changrong walked all the way to Ning Qingxi's room, which was the guest room that Fu Linjun asked her to arrange.

Ning Qingxi heard a knock on the door and asked, "Who?" ”

Ning Changrong whispered, "Your father, open the door." ”

Ning Qingxi got up from the bed, put on his shoes and walked to the door of the room to open the door.

"Dad, come in."

Ning Changrong walked into the room.

"How? Did Mrs. Fu ask you today? ”

Ning Qingxi nodded, "I asked, I told her what you told me." ”

Ning Changrong nodded, "Okay, I think it won't be long before they come to us to discuss." ”

"Dad, what do we exchange for them? Do you still use glass? It feels a little unkind. ”

Ning Changrong rolled his eyes, is this a question of being kind or not?

"Everyone knows where our nest is, as long as you search carefully for a month or two, you can't find it? If someone finds out that we cheated on them, wouldn't that be a problem for ourselves? ”

And according to Ning Changrong's observation, Chang Yuan should be a pragmatic person, and he would not put a lot of food on it for an ornamental glass.

If the other party is really such a superficial person, I am afraid that he will not be able to come to this point, and in just two years, he has created such a big foundation.

The heart is very human.

Ning Qingxi sat down, "What should I do then?" Originally, it was good to use glass for some food, but now you can't use glass, so you can't prostitute for nothing, right? ”

Ning Qingxi paused in his tone, and then said tentatively: "Anyway, we don't change much, why don't we change one or two beads?" ”

The glass is not easy to carry, and they only carry a few round glass beads on their backs.

Ning Changrong shook his head, "If this grain is traded with other people, it is estimated that it will work, but at present, the bulk grain transactions in this city are all in the hands of General Chang, presumably those grains are his." He certainly wouldn't agree to trade such flashy things for other food. ”

Ning Qingxi sighed, and after a while, his eyes were dripping, "Dad! Or do we trade with them with a crossbow? Today, you don't know how persistent Chang Wencheng is, he just came back, sweating profusely, and the smell of sweat smells in the wind, and he has to be in a hurry to communicate with me about the crossbow. ”

"I heard him mean that he wanted to buy me a crossbow or a blueprint for a crossbow. Do you think we're going to trade this for them? ”

Ning Changrong pondered for a moment after listening, the money and silver on their bodies at present, if they were used to buy food, it was estimated that it would not be enough, after all, since they went up the mountain, the money on their bodies was only in and out.

I wanted to make some money by selling glass, but who would have thought that this would be the case?

Seeing that Ning Changrong was still thinking, Ning Qingxi said again: "Dad, we don't sell their double-shot crossbows, we just sell single-shot ones." ”

Ning Qingxi immediately stood up and walked out of the door to look around, confirming that there was no one before walking back to the room.

She lowered her voice, "Aren't we not only single-shot crossbows, but also repeating crossbows and gunpowder firearms?" As long as we have the strongest things in our own hands, let's sell them a little single-shot crossbow, and it's nothing to survive the moment, right? ”

Ning Changrong shook his head, "No, we can't mass-produce hand crossbows under that condition." ”
