Chapter 537 Passing the pillow when dozing off
Chu Qing did return to Jizhou.
Because Xiaobao's letter said that a batch of jade was shipped to Xinlunzhou, she had to go back to Baolu Group first, pick two carving craftsmen who knew how to train them, and bring them with them.
By the way, bring them the custom toolbox.
Chu Qing made a toolbox for himself, which had many types of tools, and some of them still needed assembly.
Xiaobao's letter mentioned the smokescreen. Chu Qing thought that he could make it himself, so the toolbox was very important. Try to get this thing out quickly.
Because he left in a hurry and was back suddenly, Mr. Xie felt that he was not very relieved, so he took Wu Dalang to see Chu Qing to see if there was anything he could help.
Chu Qing didn't want to tell them that he almost couldn't come back, but only said that there were some urgent matters in Kyoto and that it had been done, and the emperor gave him a reward.
He donated the 1,000 taels of silver awarded by the emperor to the school.
Mr. Xie’s family is truly a person with noble personality.
Over the years, no matter what Chu Qing brought back, whether it was money or goods, he used it in school, including the New Year's Day ceremony.
After Xiaobao passed the exam for the scholar, he talked about the inspiration for learning in the village where Mr. Xie was here, which caused many surrounding villages to send their children to school.
Later, Qiu Sheng passed the exam for scholars, and two scholars came out of each village, and suddenly he became famous in the village school.
So much so that some wealthy families came to their house to hire Mr. Xie to serve as a banquet.
A wealthy man came to talk to the village chiefs of the three villages about investment in village education.
They wanted to buy the village school, which would add a good reputation to their families, and to use the "outstanding people and powerful places" here to set up a college.
I heard that there is a "Qinggang Academy" in Jiangnan that is very famous. Why can't the north produce a high-end academy that takes full-time, closed-door management, and integrates food, accommodation and education from enlightenment to imperial examinations?
Mr. Xie did not agree with all this, but stayed here to teach the children in the village. Under the leadership of Wu Dalang, the three villages were not moved by the money and went to expand the village school wantonly.
Schools are places for teaching and educating people, not places for profit or reputation. Even if they are just villages, the three villages will maintain them seriously and do not accept anyone's investment because they are afraid of losing their voice.
If the rich really want to take the initiative, will the children in the village still go to school? They will recruit more "money prospects".
Chu Qing donates a sum of money to the village school every year to repair the school building and purchase school aids and books. This year, half of it has passed, and Chu Qing gives the money again, but Mr. Xie did not agree.
"After all, there are many children now, which is different from before," Chu Qing said: "In recent years, there have been many children in various villages, and there will be more and more children."
If this time travel is regarded as a game, then Wukeshu Village is the "birthplace" and "novice village" of the two game ids Chu Qing and Xiaobao.
Although it is a little unpleasant here, it is more from the shelter and care of the villagers.
Especially in terms of Xiaobao's enlightenment education, Mr. Xie tried his best.
Chu Qing has always been grateful to them, so if you can do more, you can do more.
In addition, Chu Qing also has a vague selfishness: If one day he "falls out", Chu Qing hopes that Xiaobao can still get care from the "novice village".
This trip to Kyoto made Chu Qing feel even more urgent. Not only did she want to develop the "novice village" into a place where Xiaobao lives in seclusion and hides the world. In addition to this, she will continue to choose some simple and secluded mountain villages for
Xiaobao.
If you want to make money, Xiaobao's life will be long and you have to give him a relatively abundant material life; you have to choose a place to settle down. If you have to have a cunning rabbit, you must let him live his life safely.
After arranging the matter here, Chu Qing went to Chu's house in Jizhou.
First, pack up what you want to bring, and second, go to the board office to find out the whistle.
As a result, Deputy Qianhu Jiang told her that yesterday Qi Zhizhou sent someone to send some large ice cubes to her house, and almost empty the ice cellar of the state yamen, and bought a lot from several families with ice cellars.
In the end, it was not enough for two months. Today, the state yamen brought back a lot of saltpeter from other places. I guess he wanted Chu Qing to use it to recharge.
"I heard," Deputy Qianhu Shen Jiang said mysteriously: "Mr. Qi replied to the eunuch Lan who was sending the order, saying that he would give you enough ice for two months, but the official cellar of the state yamen was gone.
I went to buy it in the Minjiao again, and I was very anxious, afraid I didn’t want to see you;
Unfortunately, ice is not that easy to find, and no one has many;
Later, when he saw the small vendors using saltpeter as ice drinks, he had the idea and asked them to buy it at Shaanxi Hui Mansion. There was a saltpeter mine there, which was cheaper;
You've had a good time this year, I've heard that although saltpeter can't make big ice, it can make small pieces of ice. You have to fold me in half."
Unexpectedly, Deputy Jiang Qianhu was quite economically savvy.
Saltpeter! It was given by the magistrate, and it passed the Ming Road!
Someone gives you a pillow when you are sleepy!
Chu Qing thought that saltpeter, which could make gunpowder, should be controlled by the government very strictly, but he didn't expect that he would give it to him casually.
In fact, this is something Chu Qing is worried about.
Daxuan has many saltpeter ores, and the manufacturing and application of gunpowder are still in a relatively backward state, so saltpeter ores are not as valued as iron ore.
This further added to Chu Qing's thought: explosives must be done.
What is a smokescreen?
Basically, Chu Qing can easily get all the raw materials.
For example, when looking for water sources for Mada and his military camp, I found several sulfur-type hot springs. At that time, I was simple and didn’t think much about it. Now I think about it, it’s very simple to get sulfur.
Now I know that there is a natural saltpeter mine in Shaanxi Huifu; if it is farther away, there is even a sulfur ditch in the country of Vos. If it really doesn't work, do some pyrite to refine it yourself.
During this trip to Kyoto, Chu Qing felt that she was going to be "black": she couldn't be low-key, she would dare to bully her if she was a person.
What kind of society should I adapt to! Does society allow me to adapt to it? I can’t adapt to it anymore, so let the society adapt to me.
Thinking about Xiaobao's letter in his arms, the circle with a small hook, Chu Qing was depressed again - forget it, as long as there are children, you can't challenge.
It would be better to do something secretly, and I will give Xiaobao all his life-saving assets.
"Old Jiang," Chu Qing said to Deputy Qianhu Jiang: "Can I buy saltpeter too? I tell you, I can make saltpeter ice. You mentioned ice drinks just now, I want to sell some ice appraisals.
, Let’s have half the profit, how about it?”
Ice-jian was a container used to store ice in ancient times and put food in it. It can be said to be an ancient refrigerator. Chu Qing had only seen this thing in pictures in the past and was very bulky.
This thing is improved lightly, and wealthy people will definitely like it.
This is not important. What is important is that Chu Qing wants a purchasing channel that the Secret Investigation Department will not pursue.
Because if you send someone to boil nitroso, it will waste time and manpower, and the other is that it will still easily attract attention. It is better to directly and clearly acquire it.
