Chu Qing is also thinking about this problem. He has spent too much money this year. When will he make it back?

Just to imitate Fan Zhongyan, he used the victims to build restaurants and pave brick roads to give them a chance to get food and money. With a wave of his hand, the money flowed out!

Oh my God! Chu Qing slapped her forehead and regretted it endlessly.

But there is also an advantage. The color of the road is very consistent with the color of the Blue House. Whether you look at it from a distance or up close, it blends into one. Walking from one end of the road, you naturally want to go to the Blue House and sit down.

Another advantage is that it is convenient for your caravan to enter the city.

But, where is the money!

Chu Qing counted on her fingers and found that a batch of chickens from the Wuhan family had been sold. Other people did not have as many chickens as theirs, and they did not raise them as early as theirs. It would probably take a month to collect them and make money.

But you still need to spend money to buy chickens and ducks! It’s such an angina-inducing way to spend money!

Chu Qing did not have the mind of a businessman, but he was "infected" with the thinking mode of a businessman: if the money spent is not doubled, it is a waste.

As soon as Zheng Xiaorou entered the room, she saw Chu Qing slapping her forehead so hard that she quickly came over to ask what was wrong.

Chu Qing pointed to his forehead for a while: "Headache!" and pointed to his heart for a while: "Heartache!"

Zhuo Yao also followed and translated Chu Qing's body language: "It's money to spend!"

"Ah!" Zheng Xiaorou exclaimed: "That's it! Sister, please feel the pain again. Once the pain is numb, you won't feel the pain anymore."

"What's wrong?" Chu Qing asked. Usually when Zheng Xiaorou didn't comfort her, something bad would happen.

Zheng Xiaorou went to the back room and took out a box and handed it to Chu Qing. When she opened it, she found several... house deeds and land deeds.

Chu Qing took it and looked at it: "What is this? Did you buy it?"

Zheng Xiaorou nodded: "At that time, you said that if you want to build a road, you must first go to the Gaozhifu to sign it. I thought that if you want to build a road, the houses and land on both sides of the road will be valuable in the future;

If you wait until the shop is finished and then look for it, it will be expensive, and people may not be willing to sell it if you find it. You have to do it when no one knows about it.

I went out to look for it, and I found it!

This year has been a bad year. Many shops have been unable to survive and have been transferred. Some farmers have sold their land in exchange for grain, so I have harvested them along the way. This is a rare opportunity, and I would be sorry if I don't accept it."

Zheng Xiaorou even folded her hands together to hold her heart as she spoke, expressing her conscience.

Conscience? Wolf heart!

Looking at a pile of bills, although each one didn't cost much, the total cost was almost ten thousand taels!

Chu Qing was also heartbroken - her heart ached so much that it almost stopped beating.

"Sister, look at these two lands," Zheng Xiaorou took the land deeds and compared them with the map on Chu Qing's desk: "See, they are connected! It would be great to be a village! It's so close to the road we paved!

If you look at these houses, they can be used for living or as warehouses, and they are also on the roadside!

And there’s more…”

"It's been so long, why are you telling me now?" Chu Qing asked.

"I forgot! There are so many things to do every day. After I finish the paperwork, I put it in the box and forget about it when I turn around..." Zheng Xiaorou said, looking at Chu Qing mischievously: "But it's not good to tell you too early.

…”

Chu Qing: "Why?"

Zheng Xiaorou: "If I had told you earlier, I would have felt sorry for Qian!"

Chu Qing: "..."

Okay, Xiaorou is right, I really don’t feel bad now, I feel numb.

Chu Qing took out a stack of banknotes and slapped them on the table: "Doesn't it feel good to spend money? Keep spending! Take the places you bought and see what they are suitable for. Let's open them now and set aside a few small shops to make roast duck.

shop!"

The money for road construction is earned on the road.

Yibin Prefecture is among the prefectures in the south, and is considered to be a lower-middle-class region economically.

When the Dong Lun Kingdom existed, this was a border area, unable to retain wealthy people, and the land was not good, with many hills, which was not conducive to farming.

In fact, there are certain geographical advantages here. For example, there are ferries to several state capitals, and it is also the water and land intersection leading to the "Special Economic Zone" of Xinlunzhou.

It's just that the road is not good and the area is poor, so passers-by are unwilling to stop here. It's like many small train stations. There is nothing else but the station, so they always "pass by" without stopping.

Since Zheng Xiaorou bought a lot of land and shops, let them use them, and the road construction cannot be in vain.

Chu Qing really felt that she was not suitable for business. Her brain was not as good as other people's, and her mental quality was not good enough. She worried about gains and losses. Although she was not short of money now, she was unwilling to hear any sound from the money she spent.

Simply ignoring these things, the warehouse was full of grain. Chu Qing planned to take the grain back to Jizhou and Xinlun Prefecture in person to see the situation.

The boys in the family secretly transported the grain from the Bao Qingsheng Warehouse to perform for themselves. No one except Wang Fuqianhu knew about this, so they had to send the grain back as soon as possible.

The Gaozhi Prefecture has already been offended by him, and Deputy Wang Qianhu is secretly investigating him. Now no one can trip him up in Yibin Prefecture, so he just takes the opportunity to walk away.

It's just that the "Locust God" matter is not solved. After all, it is the "belief" of the people. Chu Qing asked Zhuo Yao to stay and cooperate with Wang Fuqianhu.

The reason why Deputy Wang Qianhu was put in charge of "exchanging locusts for food" in the first place was because doing this in the name of the Secret Investigation Department could suppress the emotions of the people.

But the common people did not dare to smash up the secret investigation department's office. It was hard to say whether it would damage their own property. Baijiaxing had to take care of business, and the force value was not enough, so it was better to keep Zhuo Yao.

Although Zhuo Yao missed Xiao Bao very much, the current situation was such that he had no choice but to stay, but asked Chu Qing to bring Xiao Bao a lot of gadgets he had saved.

The roads are paved with ferries, making it very convenient to transport food.

If you go by water, you can pass by Chongyufu. You want to see Xiaobao and the disaster there, and then go ashore from Chongyufu and go to Jizhou by land.

This route is a bit detoured, but it can make a surprise "inspection" of Xiaobao's life, hehe. Give him a surprise...scare!

*********

Chongyu Mansion, the backyard of Sanshun Escort Agency.

Xiaobao was drinking with Shui Maomao, while Hou Ze beside him was munching fried locusts.

Xiaobao had a pile of small wine glasses in front of him, one by one. He filled them up one by one. He took a glass and pushed it in front of Shui Maomao: "Obviously locusts are so delicious. I mobilized everyone to catch them. Why are they scolding me? Who is the Locust God?

Toy, it won’t come if you don’t eat it?”

"Gua Wa Zi!" Shui Maomao glanced at him and drank the wine in the small wine glass in one gulp: "What a big deal, why are you so angry?"

The broken cup was too small, and it wasn't enough for one sip.

Xiaobao put a fried locust into his bowl: "It's obviously a good thing. Even if you don't eat it, you can catch insects in the fields, right? They can catch vegetable insects and eat vegetable insects, why can't they eat locusts?!"

Shui Maomao stared at the wine jar in Xiaobao's hand and ate the locust unwillingly: "Can you give me the wine jar?"

"No!" Xiaobao refused decisively: "You can drink, but you have to eat three mouthfuls of food after one drink!"

Then he picked up a large piece of green vegetables with chopsticks.

This person is so old, he still has to watch every meal. Don’t you know about healthy eating?

Hou Ze glanced at Shuimaomao secretly, "Oh! It's true that one thing brings down another."

Shui Mao Mao stretched his neck and swallowed the green vegetables, protesting: "Why don't you give me a piece of meat! I can't swallow the green vegetables, it will irritate my throat!"

Then another locust came into the bowl.

"My hair is gone and I'm still eating meat!" Xiaobao said.

"I'll say it again: This is not hair loss, it's shaving, shaving!" Shui Maomao roared.

Xiaobao shrugged nonchalantly: "Okay, shaved! Tell me, why don't they eat locusts? They can 'eat each other' in order to survive. Children eat them, so why don't they eat locusts?"

Shui Maomao lit the green vegetables and said: "Look at me, if there is meat, I won't eat vegetables, because I have a choice. When there is neither meat nor vegetables, as long as I am not hungry, I still won't eat bugs;

But I’m really hungry. You think, locusts can fly, but can humans catch them? Catching them for a long time is not enough to eat two bites, but it makes me even hungrier. Who do you think will eat them?”
