Chapter 44: Iron Ore
He frowned and said in a deep groan: "A lot of land near our Shabaozi Town is deserted, but our soldiers don't have enough food to eat, and the salaries sent by the imperial court are often in arrears, and the amount is not enough.
Instead of letting them be idle, it is better to organize them to reclaim wasteland, and when the time comes, the land will be hung in the name of our thousand households so as not to pay rent, half of the grain will be given to them, and half of the grain will be owned by our thousand households, and the grain and planting tools will be produced by our thousands of households, what do you think? ”
Qin Liu was slightly surprised. After Ma Ang went to Xuanfu and came back, the whole person made a qualitative leap from the inside out. The depth and level of consideration of the problem is very different, and it has a bigger picture.
She said convincingly: "Brother Ma really thinks too far ahead!" ”
Maang smiled embarrassedly, lowered his head and took a sip of the slightly cold tea in the cup. I was so busy talking just now that I forgot to drink.
Qin Liu was talking about the post station, but he heard Zheng Baihu's loud voice coming from outside the door of the swallow building: "Alas, this is a big official, and the score will be set!" I don't even look at my brother when I come back! ”
Ma Ang hurriedly got up and went out to deal with Zheng Baihu. What's more, he is a married man, and although he is a brother and sister with the little widow of the Li family, it is not suitable to be bumped into being alone in a room.
Qin Liu went to the main house at the back and saw that the little mute was walking towards the east wing with Erlang's freshly changed wet pants, followed by the bouncing Dalang and the swaying Erlang's two little tails.
Qin Liu stepped forward to take the wet pants and went directly to the pool in the east wing to scrub. No matter how arrogant she was, she didn't dare to let the son of the Mongolian Khan wash her baby's diapers, she was really afraid that she would not be blessed.
If the little mute has accumulated resentment in his chest because of this, and after a few years of power, he wants to seek revenge on his mother and son, so why not drink a pot?
While washing her pants, she looked at the little mute with a humble look. She's been too busy lately to pay much attention to him. The little mute also behaved very peacefully.
Seeing her looking at him, the little mute asked seriously, "Have you thought about the horse trade?" ”
Qin Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "You also saw that the hut behind here is full of people, and there are only a lot of people over there, all of them are half-grown children and old people. I thought I had to teach them something so that they could be self-reliant. Although I have some net worth, I can't stand it, find a way to make money and accumulate the first pot of gold, so that I can do big business in the future. ”
The little mute's face became serious, and he approached Qin Liu and asked, "What big business do you want to do?" ”
Qin Liu looked at the cold aura around him, and hurriedly explained: "It's nothing, it's just digging coal and selling it for some money." You also know that this firewood occupies an area that is not resistant to burning, but it can't be separated, and it is a waste that so much coal under the ground is not used and piled up there. ”
The cold aura around the little mute suddenly stopped.
He let the two children play by themselves in the east wing, and sat casually on a small chair beside him.
"It's so much better than on our prairie. Only cow dung, horse dung, and sheep dung can be burned on the grassland. There are very few trees. ”
Qin Liu said: "That's because you grassland people won't take advantage of it. Under your vast grassland, there are many coal mines, iron ores, and rare earth mines, and if you make good use of the gold and silver mountains, where can you use the dead air to kill in vain to rob the poor people's pots and hoes? ”
The little mute shook his head and sneered: "If we produce iron there, where do we need to grab a pot?" Your court doesn't sell us ironware......"
As he spoke, he was suddenly stunned, staring at Qin Liu in disbelief with sharp eyes: "You say, we have iron mines on the grassland?" ”
Qin Liu scooped up the water again to rinse and scrub the washed pants, and said casually: "Of course." There is a large iron ore mine near Ordos......"
The little mute suddenly stood up, stepped forward and grabbed Qin Liu's wet wrist tightly, and asked Qin Liu seriously, "How do you know?!" ”
Qin Liu was pinched by him, and after struggling for a while, he said, "I, I listened to the guests in the shop." ”
The little mute said categorically: "Impossible! I've lived there for over a decade and haven't heard of it! How can you Han people know? ”
Qin Liu was stunned, she couldn't say that she had crossed over, that was not regarded as a madman.
She finally said, "What I saw in the book, it's all done, right?" ”
The little mute's brows furrowed even tighter, and his voice suppressed emotion: "Who the hell are you?!" ”
Qin Liu finally couldn't stand it anymore: "You let go, you hurt me!" ”
The little mute let go.
Qin Liu said helplessly: "I don't know who I am, I don't even know who Erlang's father is." Believe it or not. ”
The little mute has lived with them for so long, and he has long known that Qin Liu is not Da Lang's biological mother and Li Laohan's original daughter-in-law.
It's just that he never asked Qin Liu's origin before, just like Qin Liu never asked him.
She sighed and looked at the two of them while playing, and went out of the east wing to dry the washed pants.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
She has been raising a little mute for almost half a year, and this guy is about to regard himself as a member of the family, but when it comes to matters on the grassland, he still inadvertently shows his cold and murderous intent, which shows how much he cares, and it can be seen that he actually wants to go back.
It's really a wolf that can't be raised.
Let him be.
If he wanted to stay, she would continue to raise him. If he wants to leave, let him go.
It's hard to find such a conscientious super big milk mom and a double talent as a children's archery teacher.
After sleeping and lying down at night, Da Lang asked with some trepidation: "Mother, did the little dumb brother quarrel with you?" ”
Qin Liu said: "No, he's the same as you, he asks his mother if he doesn't understand something." ”
Qin Liu quickly fell asleep, had a sweet dream, and even laughed out loud.
……
It was also a sunny spring in the dream, full of flowers and shadows of the trees.
On the stone bench next to the stone table, she and the little fat cousin laughed forward and backwards, and the little boy on the side had two horns of hair in a bun on his head, and the bun was surrounded by flowers, and he cried hysterically at the top of his throat.
After a while, the eldest aunt and an elegant wife went out of the room. The eldest aunt smiled helplessly and reproached: "Ah Jiang, Guangsi, how can you bully Xiao Yongxiu?" Go and apologize, and then come and apologize to Mrs. Huang. ”
She and the little fat cousin smiled and apologized, and then winked at Mrs. Huang and said, "Auntie, your child is so good-looking, and the hairpin is more like a little girl than me, isn't it?" ”
This is her tried and tested trick to sell cuteness, and she has never missed.
Mrs. Huang was also tricked, smiled and pulled the little hairpin boy who was still crying, and said gently: "Ah Shen, my sister gave you hairpins because she thought you were good-looking." This is a compliment to you. ”
The little boy finally stopped crying and sobbed instead, occasionally casting an approving look at her.
