I'm busy overseeing the work.

In the east and west of the city, all the shops contracted are idle, and they want to start work early and make money as soon as possible.

Especially those who receive the salary of the county government, they are particularly embarrassed to take money for nothing.

The land has not been thawed, and it is very difficult to construct, so Yan Junqi will go over to see it when he has time recently.

In comparison, Lu Xu is much more idle.

The new small businessmen who have purchased raw materials are all trying to find ways to carry out secondary processing at home.

Previously, Lu Xu was worried that they would be timid, would not dare to do it, and would retreat, but in fact, if it was before, they would indeed be like this.

They are all from poor families, and they were reluctant to buy anything in the past, and suddenly let them do business to sell goods, and they don't know what to buy or sell.

But it's different now.

They already have the experience of selling goods for Lu Xu in the bazaar, but they really can't do it, what they helped Lu Xu sell before, they will continue to sell!

Moreover, there were a few female workers who made money selling buttons in the last bazaar, which also gave them a lot of encouragement.

Moreover, there is also Lu Xu said that the start of ten taels, and the end of the year is still five taels, no matter how stupid they are, they will not be busy working and losing five taels a year, right?

Judging from their experience of rushing to the market twice, trading with the barbarians is not as complicated as they imagined, even if they only rush to the market, it should be about the same to keep the capital. As long as you keep your book, you will earn five taels for nothing!

, it's a big deal to go to Xicheng as an apprentice next year and go to the grass to pick mushrooms.

With the experience of the bazaar, many people already have business goals.

Women, in particular, almost always plan to do something handmade first.

After observing the bazaar, they already knew some of the aesthetics of the barbarians—good-looking, gorgeous, and the barbarian girls liked it very much.

Tiny buttons, shoes, headdresses, jewelry, they all like it.

Daqi talks about subtlety, people are very straightforward, if you like it, you like it, you have to wear it out and show it.

As a result, the new female bosses began to work at home.

Those who are skillful in their hands make velvet flowers and silk flowers, and those who are not so skillful in their hands make shoes and make beautiful and bright shoes.

There are also those who make belts and embroider handkerchiefs......

All this is a low-cost experiment for them, they just need to buy some beautiful fabrics, buy some needlework, and they can get started.

Lu Xu has a lot of fabrics that are too expensive for them, but the color and luster of those cloths are very good-looking, and they get together to buy half of them, and come back to share a point, you do this, I do that, maybe they can make a whole set to wear out.

They can take the risk, and they want to try it.

What if it works?

They cherish Lu Xu's equal treatment, and their determination to do a good job is firmer than that of men.

As a result, many male businessmen have not yet decided what to do, and they have naturally formed an alliance and started to roll.

In order to save firewood, they all get together at night to do needlework together, inadvertently avoiding each other to do repetitive things, and can also exchange patterns and different stitching skills with each other, the aesthetics of the north, south, east and west counties of Oki began to collide in a small room, and the direction of the collision turned out to be to sell things to another people.

If they can't make up their minds, they will go to the county office the next day to ask Avi their opinion.

So, when the snow gradually melted away by the combined force of the land and the sun, the barbarian youths who were too tired to get on their horses and all went home for the New Year.

Before leaving, they also took away the goods packed on credit from Lu Xu, as well as small goods purchased from the city's businesswoman.

When they come, they all travel lightly with one person and one horse, and when they leave, they are all big bags and small bags.

Lu Xu was very worried about whether they would be able to escape if they encountered wolves on the road like this, and told them unsafely that in case of danger, remember to throw away the burden and run away.

None of the eight young men wanted to listen to him crow-mouthed chatter, said goodbye to Lu Zhou, and swooped away.

Lu Xu shook his head: "I don't know what to do, little rabbit cubs!" When I'm willing to take care of them! ”

He remembered something, and hurriedly shouted to the back of the person who was gradually running away: "The market will start again next month!" Notice!! ”

Several people waved their hands from afar.

Does this still need him to say?

Lu Zhou had already instructed him last night.

They ran away, and it was time for Lu Xu to go out.

The pills and ointments had already been prepared, and Lu Xu took the doctor, the medicine, and half of the official errands, and set off towards the various towns under their rule.

This time, there was no tiger army to escort them, and they couldn't ride all of them with a doctor, and everyone was prepared in case they encountered wolves.

This time, Lu Xu also brought a knife.

But the weapon he used to be more at his disposal was the dagger he always carried.

Lu Zhou was very uneasy and wanted to go with Lu Xu, he even had the arrows ready.

Lu Xu patted him and made him relax: "We are walking the same road as before, and there are no wild beasts. It's you, I took so many people away at once, there are not enough people in the city, you should pay more attention to yourself, and remind Jun Qi to eat on time. ”

It saves him from remembering to eat breakfast and lunch when he is busy.

Lu Zhou nodded and asked if he wanted to give him the bow and arrow.

Lu Xu: "I don't know how to use it!" ”

He looked around and took away a wooden stick used by officials for exercise, "It's not as good as this, it's an inch long and an inch strong, and it can also knock wolves from a distance." ”

Lu Zhou: "......"

He suddenly felt that it was necessary to teach his brother to practice riding and archery.

Lu Xu can't shoot on horseback, but he's not unprepared.

Anyway, they are mainly to prevent wolves, there are Yan Junqi and Hu Benjun, they don't go north, and there are no barbarians nearby who can't think about what to do with him, Lu Xu has prepared a lot of torches.

If it's a big deal, set fire and run.

The snow is so thick that it is not afraid that it will set the forest grass on fire.

However, Yan Junqi was more ruthless than him, he said that he wanted to bring some torches to prevent wolves, so Yan Junqi asked people to load a cart for him, as well as several cans of oil.

In addition to these, Yan Junqi prepared half a cart of food and tent bedding for them, so that in case they encountered any accidents, they could camp on the spot and not be afraid of hunger.

When it was time to separate, Yan Junqi helped him sort out his clothes and said in a low voice: "If you don't come back on time, I will take Hu Benjun to pick you up." ”

Lu Xu pinched Yan Junqi's palm with the help of his cloak, "Well, I won't run away if I encounter a snowstorm again, dig a snow hut and live until you come to pick me up." ”

Yan Junqi glared at him, "The weather is bad, won't you find a nearby town to live in?" ”

Lu Xu immediately changed his words: "Remember!" I promise not to rush in the snow, find a good place for cats! ”

Yan Junqi stared at his indecent smiling face, his eyes were sour, and he slowly hugged Lu Xu.

He went, and Lu Xu was not at ease.

Lu Xu went, he was not at ease.

They don't go, and their consciences are unsettled.

They all went, and the situation did not allow it.

Only if he stays in the county seat with a military talisman in his hand, the county seat can be regarded as the county seat of the Daqi Imperial Court, even if they only have dozens of officials, no tribe dares to attack the county seat with a bear heart and a leopard.

If he and Lu Xu both leave and disappear for ten days and half a month, the situation in Beiting County will immediately change greatly.

He couldn't leave, so he could only turn the small county town into Lu Xu's backstage and base camp.

He understands this truth, and Lu Xu also understands it.

So Lu Xu didn't hesitate to inspect for him, so Lu Xu is still temporarily acting as a county lieutenant who contributes and loses money.

Lu Xu sighed silently, ignoring a group of people watching, bowed his head and kissed Yan Junqi's side face, and said softly: "The weather is starting to warm up, there will be no snowstorms, I will come back safely." And I told them to go and see it every month. ”

Lu Xu rubbed his back, half-coaxed and half-coquettishly said: "Avi, it's okay for them to go by themselves, I take so many people with me." ”

Yan Junqi was silent, raised his eyes to look at Lu Xu, and saw that Lu Xu was weak for a while.

He knew that the last time the blizzard scared Junqi.

Especially after he came back, he was sick until the end of the year, and there were two days of high fever in the middle, it is said that he was so burned that he was talking nonsense, Jun Qi was so frightened that he couldn't untie his clothes and guarded him, and the day he woke up, Jun Qi's eyes were black and black.

"I promise I'll come back safely." Lu Xu said softly: "Guaranteed." ”

He leaned into Yan Junqi's ear and said in a super whisper: "My horse is good, the fleeing wolf can't catch up, I will run when I encounter danger." ”

Yan Jun Qi was in a hurry, knowing that Lu Xu was coaxing him again.

With his character, he won't run at all until the last person runs away.

"Lu Xu ......"

"Hmm."

"Go early and come back early."

"Hmm." Lu Xu laughed.

He hugged Yan Junqi and Lu Zhou again, "I will come back as scheduled, don't worry." ”

As soon as Lu Xu walked away, Yan Junqi, Lu Zhou and the people who saw him off still did not enter the city, until they were gradually lost in sight, and Yan Junqi slowly closed his gaze.

Oh, yes.

Avi them, alone through the wilderness, he did not feel dangerous.

Lu Xu took dozens of people to the town, and he felt dangerous.

The human heart is always unbalanced.

No matter how strong his mind is, he can't control his depression and anxiety.

"Brother Jun Qi?" The wind was blowing, and Lu Zhou called him back to the city.

Yan Junqi looked into the distance, was distracted for a while, nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

Lu Zhou said "um", and comforted him as he walked: "My brother is smart and alert, he will definitely be safe." ”

"Hmm." Yan Junqi smiled.

But he thought in his heart that sooner or later, one day, he wanted everyone in Beiting County to ride horses freely and travel freely.

Sooner or later, even if he doesn't sit in the city, Beiting County can be peaceful and stable.
