Uncle Jiu's face froze, and he looked at Xia Qingxue with some complexity, his expression was similar to when Qi Tian first saw Xia Qingxue, it was really a peerless wonder...

He froze down, arched his hand, and said, "Forgive the old man, I didn't see that it was the third lady of the Xia family, the old man is polite." ”

Xia Qingxue's expression finally eased a little, and turned to a "magnanimous" expression, and said: "Forget it, Miss Ben knows that a master like me, some people are rare to see in their lifetime, and it is normal for you to not see the old man." ”

Uncle Nine looked at Xia Qingxue and glanced at Qi Tian again, not knowing what to say.

Ah Niu continued to ask at this time: "What does the fire in the Xia family's warehouse have to do with those goods?"

Uncle Nine looked at Ah Niu with an idiot look, and said, "The fire in the Xia family's warehouse is not so simple..."

Seeing that Uncle Nine didn't continue, Ah Niu hurriedly asked, "Uncle Nine, you should continue." ”

Uncle Nine glanced at Qi Tian, then turned to look at Ah Niu again, shook his head and said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and the mystery will be solved soon." ”

Qi Tian chuckled, and said in his heart, this ninth uncle is really a roundworm in his stomach, and he knows that he is unwilling to explain a lot of things now.

He looked at the busy crowd at the bottom of the mountain and asked, "We have so many people now, is there enough money?"

Uncle Nine nodded and said, "It's enough, these are the children of poor families, who sell their labor on weekdays to earn those few copper coins, and they can't even eat." Now we not only take care of their food and housing, but also send them ten copper coins every month to supplement their families, as soon as Ah Niu told them, they all came, if I stopped them in time from time to time, saying that as long as they are in the prime of life, the number of people will be much more. ”

Qi Tian nodded slightly, he didn't expect that the coolies at the bottom would be so cheap, and the brothers of hundreds of people only add up to a few gold coins a month, and he asked again: "How can we solve the problem of their food? ”

Uncle Nine was helpless and said: "At present, the conditions are simple, and we can only rely on manpower to carry it up the mountain." ”

He turned to look at the slightly flatter mountain to the north, and said with some excitement on his face: "But it won't be long before we can become self-sufficient." The old man of that mountain has taken a closer look, the soil is soft, the strata are moist, and they are all fertile soil, which is very suitable for growing some vegetables and fruits, and I have arranged for someone to buy seeds!"

He reached into his arms again, took out a booklet with a blue cover, and said, "Boss, this is the account book, and the most expensive thing during this time is to buy tools for repairing mountains and paving roads, and I remember it very clearly." ”

Qi Tian gave Uncle Nine an appreciative look and said, "Good job, keep working hard!"

Uncle Jiu's face flushed, "hehe" smiled, and said, "Thank you, boss, for the compliment." Then he looked up at the sky and said, "Thank you, boss." ”

Qi Tian raised his eyebrows, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Thank me for what?"

Uncle Nine sighed with emotion, "Without a boss, I may be in a broken temple, lonely with a group of old beggars, and then silently disappear from this world, my ambitions, my grudges, will die with my unwillingness." ”

He turned his head and glanced at Qi Tian gratefully, "Now that I think about it, it's really a little sad, the old man I have been reading poetry and books since I was a child, and after I volunteered as an adult, I studied the art of war, hoping to create a prestige, and then I joined the army, although I was promoted quickly, but I met someone who was unladylike, followed the wrong person, and finally was framed by a traitor, and almost ended up depressed, thanks to the boss who saved me." ”

After that, he was going to stand up and kneel down for Qi Tian, in his heart, it was Qi Tian who gave him a second life.

Qi Tian hurriedly grabbed Uncle Nine with his hand and comforted him to sit down again, "You and I are also fated to see each other, we will be comrades-in-arms in the future, and we will move forward together, you know, this world is very big, there are many gold, silver and jewelry, and there are many beauties..."

Uncle Nine's originally emotional and lyrical expression immediately became stunned...

Qi Tian hurriedly coughed embarrassedly and said, "Good wine, good wine..."

Uncle Nine smiled "haha" and said: "Erotic temperament, if the old man is dozens of years younger, he will have the same hobbies as the boss..."

Qi Tian was almost rested, he stood up and looked down the mountain, a feeling of being high up and controlling everything came to his mind.

It had been a long time since he remembered the last time he felt this way...

"Boss, there's something I want to ask you about. Uncle Nine said.

"Hmm, what?" Qi Tian asked, turning his head.

"I want to open a store in the city, in addition to the small items that customers store on a daily basis, it is also a sign for the security bureau and warehousing goods. Uncle Nine said.

Qi Tian nodded, "No problem, since you want to open it, you have to open it in the best location." ”

Uncle Nine nodded with a smile, and then said with some worry: "In the more prosperous places of Yunhai City, the rent is relatively expensive, and we are in the early stage, maybe the boss will have to pay some money." ”

Qi Tian thought about it for a while, after all, he only had ten gold coins a month, and he had already given half of it to Uncle Nine before, so he had to at least keep some money for drinking flower wine.

Next, which financier should I find to exploit it?

Soon, his narrow phoenix eyes suddenly lit up, and then he turned to look at Xia Qingxue behind him, "Little sister, come here." ”

Xia Qingxue was originally wandering around, and when she heard Qi Tian calling herself, she hurriedly turned around and responded, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter?"

"We're going to do a lot of fun and exciting things next, how do you feel about inviting girls to participate?" Qi Tian smiled demagogically.

Xia Qingxue was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: "Great, great! I like fun and exciting things!"

Qi Tian looked around and said, "Since you have joined us, you have to contribute, but this kind of rough work is obviously suitable for the little sister to do, and the little sister is the top master of the martial arts." ”

Xia Qingxue nodded vigorously and said, "How can a peerless master like me do the rough work of repairing bridges and paving roads!"
