Chapter 383: Departure

"Princess. Read М"

"Let's do the same as before."

"Yes, Master."

Su Qing'an looked at Wei Fuchang and Xiang Shang, and the dozen people they brought with them.

"You've worked hard all the way."

"Not hard, now Yue is under the governance of the King of Yue, the country is peaceful, and the roads are much easier to walk."

"Is there anything wrong at home?"

Wei Fuchang shook his head: "Everything is fine at home. The mountains are preparing for the harvest of winter wheat, otherwise my father-in-law would have wanted to come. Dabao and Xiaobao also wanted to come with us, but Master Ma stopped them."

Su Qing'an shook her head and laughed. She had been out for two months, and she missed her children too.

"You're out, are there any problems with my sister and Ningning?"

"No problem. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are at home, and there are people from the village who can help. Besides, I'll go back soon after I've settled things here."

Su Qing'an nodded, told them about the fields and shops, and asked them to take people to deal with them.

Xiang Shang and Wei Fuchang knew that she would open many shops this year, so they helped train many people in the mountains, not only from Xingeng Village, but also from other villages.

Many mountain people have lived in the mountains all their lives and have not had many opportunities to come out. Now they have the opportunity to come out to exercise and learn, walk around and see more, and people who sign up for learning are very enthusiastic.

Su Qingmei hopes that among these people, some outstanding clerks and shopkeepers can be trained.

Tiantai Yongjia and other places are going to open various shops, tea shops, medicine shops, and sauce shops, and many people are needed.

Fortunately, Su Qingmei is not short of people now.

Su Qingmei explained the matter to Wei Fuchang and Xiang Shang. Soon, the two of them took people to the shop to work.

Su Qingmei also brought a letter to Li Guanshi of Yongfeng before, and this time Li Guanshi also asked Wei Fuchang to bring a letter.

Yongfeng decided to follow up.

It will also come to Zhendong and these states to open branches. It does not conflict with Su Qing'an's business. The source purchase of these states is handled by Xingeng Village, and Yongfenghao has other businesses. Medicinal materials and tea will be purchased from Xingeng Village and then transported to other places for sale.

Production and purchase are still handed over to Xingeng Village, and the distribution is done by Yongfenghao.

The two parties each take one end, which is quite harmonious.

As for the mountains in these states, Su Qing'an does not want to manage them in the same way as the 45 villages in Jiangdong.

In addition to taking the mountain deed of the mountain where the silver mine was discovered, she plans to send people to plant Dendrobium officinale and Linderae medica, and plant tea trees, but she does not plan to build a village.

She set up shops in the cities of these states to purchase various materials. The people in these states can naturally see the business opportunities. If there is money to be made, they will naturally follow up with picking and subsequent planting.

Slowly, the county with strong medicinal materials and the state with strong tea will naturally be able to make a scale.

Maybe in the future, the price of the mountains in these states will be more expensive than good farmland.

There was no need for her to send people to settle in, build a village, and bring in mountain people for development.

Her business only needed to purchase various materials in several states. If someone bought them, someone would naturally send them to sell. After selling the goods, there would naturally be money in her pocket.

Slowly, the gap between the east and south of the town would gradually narrow. The lives of the people would gradually get better and better.

After arranging things, Su Qingmei planned to return to the village.

She had been out for more than two months and missed home.

Before leaving, Su Qingmei gathered hundreds of family members in the mountains together and planned to explain to everyone.

When she saw them again this time, they were different from when she was first caught in the mountains.

Their mental outlook was very different.

At that time, they occupied the mountains as bandits, and they were defensive to others. They were always on their guard, didn't speak easily, and didn't talk to people casually.

They were alert and vigilant to everyone they met.

But now it's good. The men are not bandits anymore. They are now military wives, and their status is respected. They don't have to worry about being discovered or being raided in their sleep. And now they have food and clothing, and they can see the future.

The women all look happy and friendly, with smiles on their faces.

And the children are also lively and naughty at their age. They are often seen laughing, chasing and fighting in the mountains.

It's completely different from the dead silence before.

"Madam."

"Princess."

They call them all kinds of names.

Su Qing'an didn't correct them.

She smiled at them: "We are moving, have you packed up?"

"Packed up!"

"We can't wait to go."

Su Qing'an looked at them with a smile. She believed that what they said was sincere.

Now their status is different, their lives are guaranteed, and everyone is happy.

Before, Lu Bocheng took the lead and gave thirty taels of silver to the family for resettlement. With the money they had before, every household had some silver in their hands.

Moreover, when they get to the mountains, Su Qing'an will also give them some land.

With money, land and houses, they naturally feel confident and look forward to their future life.

The children are even more excited. They are very happy to hear that they can go out.

In the past, the adults kept them in check, fearing that their running and jumping would attract bad people. They kept them in the mountains and would not let them go out.

Now the adults don't keep them in check. They run around in the mountains every day, and have been to nearby towns and Tiantai County many times.

The children are still looking forward to changing their environment.

As long as they are with their family, they can wear warm clothes, eat well, and sleep peacefully, they are happy.

The last silver stone was dug out, and the captured miners were paid a large sum of silver to appease them and then dismissed.

The silver stone was also extracted and sealed, ready to be transported away, and then 200 soldiers would transport it to Lü Bocheng's army in the north.

These days, Ling Fenggu also took people to select land in the mountains and planted some Dendrobium officinale and Linderae rutaecarpa. Seeing that he was about to return to Renzhou, he also took the time to tell the people who took over to expand the scale and continue to plant more of these two medicinal herbs in the land he had fenced off.

And Su Qingmei also took people to repair the tea trees, and handed over the affairs in the mountains to Xiang Shang, asking him to arrange people to guard the mountain and make follow-up arrangements before going back.

In the future, this mountain will be the base of their Xin Gengzhai in Tiantai and Yongjia.

There are so many medicinal herbs planted in the mountain, including tea trees and various products, and outsiders are not allowed to destroy and pick them. People must be sent to guard the mountain.

Fortunately, the houses built by Gu Changqing and others in the mountain are large enough for people to live in.

Even if Xiang Shang bought more servants in the local area, he would have enough to live in the mountains.

On the day of departure, the mountains were bustling with activity early in the morning.

There were hundreds of families, young and old, plus two hundred soldiers, a huge crowd.

In addition, there were hundreds of carts carrying various things, as well as horse-drawn carts, donkey carts, and ox carts with people, so it was so huge that you couldn't see the beginning or the end.

After more than an hour of tossing and turning, the team finally set out from the mountains.

There were too many things along the way, so they walked very slowly.

This team of thousands of people shocked the people along the way. They also saw some bandits and scoundrels along the way.

But because there were two hundred armed soldiers escorting them, no one dared to take action.
