Chapter 1757 Beating
"Xiong San, clean up this place." Feng Jin told him and followed Qin Sanlang.
"Yes." Xiong San responded, instructing the servants who had sold themselves to collect the bodies of the dead and clean up the blood on the ground.
Everyone, including the tenants, were honest and did whatever they were told. They were dealt with thoroughly.
Feng Jin had already caught up with Qin Sanlang, but when he saw Xia Zhang and Danian Hou beside Qin Sanlang, he felt worried. He had already guessed something, but he refused to accept it. Was he not loyal enough?
Forget about the New Year, who does Xia Zhang count? He is just a slave who joined the master halfway, and Xia Zhang’s former master was Lu Chong!
Although he was dissatisfied, Feng Jin did not dare to make trouble. He only followed Qin Sanlang respectfully and worked diligently.
But five days later, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He found an opportunity to see Qin Sanlang, knelt down and asked, "Sir, is there anything I didn't do well? Tell me, I must change."
When he heard about Ye Dakou, he was very enthusiastic. He thought that if Ye Dakou could be recruited into the army, he must be able to do it too.
Unexpectedly...
Qin Sanlang was drawing the plans for the underground fortifications, planning to build them secretly after he was assigned to the guard station. Hearing this, he raised his head, glanced at Feng Jin, and sneered: "Still don't know where your shortcomings are?"
It's not like he didn't remind Feng Jin, but Feng Jin still couldn't suppress his aloofness and contempt for others.
Feng Jin was not a fool. After thinking about it, he remembered what Qin Sanlang once said to him: Those who rely on their talents and are arrogant will often end badly, especially those who serve in the army.
"I'm sorry!" Feng Jin immediately admitted his mistake.
Qin Sanlang didn't buy it: "You are very capable, but I don't lack capable subordinates. Let's stay in Xing'an Mansion first and read these two books thoroughly before talking."
After that, he threw two books to him.
If someone else had thrown something at Feng Jin like this, Feng Jin would have drawn his sword and chopped him down, but it was Qin Sanlang who threw the book, so he didn't dare.
"...Yes." Feng Jin couldn't be reconciled for a moment, and finally agreed, picking up two books, one was a military book, and the other was an enlightenment book read by literati. He saw that Brother Cheng had read it.
Is he not even as good as Brother Cheng? !
"My dear, please excuse me." Feng Jin knelt in the study for a moment, and after seeing that Qin Sanlang had no other instructions, he took the book and left.
But just when he left the study and was about to close the door for Qin Sanlang, Qin Sanlang said: "The fact that you came to see me today will be spread."
Feng Jin's hand paused, and there was embarrassment on his face, but he finally responded: "Yes, I understand... Thank you for your good intentions."
After spending several years with Qin Sanlang, he also understood his temper and knew that Qin Sanlang still wanted to use him, otherwise he would not bother to train and teach him.
He had to endure it, otherwise he would probably be driven away, let alone his future.
And it was impossible for Qin Sanlang to let him leave safely. With how evil-minded Qin Sanlang was, he would definitely send You Ping to assassinate him and would not let him live to serve others.
but……
Feng Jin is satisfied with this master. He thinks that he is very capable and is better than eighty people in the world, so he will only rely on people who are stronger than him and is happy to be driven by people who are stronger than him.
The next day, there was news throughout the Lei Family Courtyard that Feng Jin was dissatisfied with being left to look after the yard and went to beg Qin Sanlang, but was scolded and punished.
There were many women in the other courtyard, so those scolding words were exaggerated. When Gu Jinli heard it, he was shocked and asked Qin Sanlang: "Did you really scold him like that? Can he withstand it? He didn't draw his sword to fight with you." ?”
Qin Sanlang smiled: "No, they spread the curse words randomly, but this rumor can make Feng Jin look good and train him."
Feng Jin's biggest problem is that he is arrogant and arrogant. He thinks that God is first and he is second. Such a person is easy to use, but if he can't suppress him, it will be very troublesome. That's why Qin Sanlang will always crush his sharp bones to make him understand. It’s called heaven and earth.
Gu Jinli nodded and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, he will follow you when he goes to the army."
She ignored it and continued to calculate on the paper. After she calculated the good number, she started laughing as if she had picked up silver.
Qin Sanlang looked at her silly look and couldn't help laughing. He hugged her and asked, "You made a lot?"
Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, Manager Ruan is interested in the snake ointment juice. He said that there will be many people rushing for this kind of stuff in Northeast and Dongqing, and they bought all our stocks."
On the way to the northwest, she sent people to search for medicinal materials along the way and found snake ointment. Using snake ointment juice and a certain proportion of salt water, she made a medicine that can curb the pain and itching of chilblains.
Qin Sanlang knew about snake ointment: "This is a good thing, especially when fighting in winter. It can relieve the pain and itching of frostbite, so that soldiers can hold the sword."
He added: "Both Northeast and Dongqing are places with severe cold. It may snow in September, and the ice and snow will not completely melt until April next year. Xiaoyu has made a good deal and will make a lot of money."
Gu Jinli was happy to hear this, but said, "Wild snake ointment cannot afford to be sold like this, so I left the seeds and asked Jingzi and Feng Jin to plant the snake ointment seeds in the mountains."
The Zhuangzi I bought has mountains, which can be used to interplant medicinal materials.
Qin Sanlang nodded: "Just tell them to do it, Xiaoyu doesn't have to worry too much."
However, what if you don’t bother? These are all silver.
In the next period of time, Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinli were still busy.
At the end of August, General Manager Ruan finally found enough vehicles and left Xing'an Prefecture, heading for the capital, hauling velvet quilts, snake ointment juice and other goods.
Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinli went to see him off and said to him: "Uncle Ruan, money is not very valuable now. You think of a way. If you can get food, it is best to exchange the dividends for food and ship it."
Food is expensive, this year's harvest has been wasted, and there will be a famine next year. From this moment on, they have to save food.
"Okay, the old slave and the young master will think of a way, but the food is in short supply, and I guess they won't be able to exchange much."
Gu Jinli: "Exchange as much as you can."
Manager Ruan nodded, agreed, led the Haohao convoy, and left with the goods.
After sending away Manager Ruan, Gu Jinli took over the quilt workshop and asked his relatives to start packing their things. After the Double Ninth Festival in September, they set off to Daokou Gou.
"Hey." The big guy responded and started to get busy.
Before leaving, Gu Jinli and Qin Sanlang went to have dinner with Gao Lei and asked her: "The Lei family caravan has property in Long'an Prefecture. Will you go to Long'an Prefecture again when you get old?"
Gao Lei nodded: "I will go. After the poor people are settled properly, I will take them to Long'an Mansion. The poor people everywhere also need help."
The poor people in Gao Lei's words are the female slaves in the Rong camp and the women who lost their families due to war disasters.
Gao Lei didn't let her take care of the female slaves, because she was afraid that she would be harmed by the female slaves who were tortured crazy because of her young age. However, Gao Lei couldn't bear it and kept taking risks to help those female slaves.
"Aunt Lei..." Gu Jinli's nose felt a little sour. He wanted to say a few words, but was interrupted by Gao Lei: "Okay, don't say anything sensational. We are about to set off. You should leave happily. I can't bear to see you. Crying and annoying.”
Before Gu Jinli could burst into tears, the sadness was pushed back: "...let's do it, then let's not be sensational and say goodbye happily."
"That's right." Gao Lei nodded with satisfaction.
But before setting off, someone still cried. The one who cried was Ji Zhenniang, who was scolded by Gao Lei for crying.
Ji Zhenniang was very wronged and cried: "Aunt Lei, I have made a lot of progress recently, and I haven't done anything wrong in the past half month. Why do you keep scolding me when I leave?"
Gao Lei glanced at her and said calmly: "I'll scold you before you leave, so that you can remember how ferocious I am, so that you won't get carried away after you leave and drag everyone down again."
Ji Zhenniang: "..."
Woo hoo hoo, she cried even harder, she just wasn't welcome!
