What Qi Kang'an didn't know was that the shopkeeper's younger brother used to make coffins. Not many people wanted carriages in a poor town, but if he got promoted and made a fortune, he could sell them anywhere.
He had no other choice. He had asked around town, and everyone told him that if he wanted to buy a carriage, he had to go to the shopkeeper.
Just in case, Qi Kang'an didn't buy the largest one, but a medium one, with an inner length of two meters and two, an inner width of one meter and seven, and it cost seven taels of silver.
If this price is considered fair to them, the carriage that Old Man Qian dismantled in Sanhe Town cost a full fifteen taels of silver.
When I think about it this way, I feel much more at ease.
Downstairs, Qi Kang'an was preparing for tomorrow's departure. There was no idle time upstairs either, because Mrs. Tian and the others were busy downstairs at night and did not go upstairs to rest. Qi Yue and Qian's mother were busy renovating the house.
The quilts were tied up and put away, leaving only one bed for Qi Bao'er to rest on. After they were put away, they had to go down and grind corn together.
Only the old man Qi Qi and Qi Bao'er were sitting idle in the corner outside chatting with each other.
What are you doing?
Piaozai went for a walk and came back.
Old man Qi asked Qi Bao'er to open his eyes again so that he could see Piao Zai. They had been together for a while, and now he didn't feel any fear at all when he saw Piao Zai. Instead, he felt sorry for him.
He didn't say anything at such a young age. He originally thought that as a soul, he could float around freely, but it turned out that Jian Yezhong was subject to restrictions like human beings on where he could go, and even more restrictions.
For example, Piao Zai is a dead soul in Sanhe Town. He cannot leave Sanhe Town at will, otherwise not only will the more powerful souls outside tear him apart, but even if there is no soul to swallow him, time will
Over time, he will slowly disappear.
Old man Qi asked Qi Bao'er why this was happening, Qi Bao'er said there was no reason, it was the rule.
After the soul moves a certain distance away from the place of death, the soul body will slowly weaken and eventually disappear.
If all the powerful soul energy were concentrated in one place without any restrictions, the world would be in chaos, and it would be a chaos that no one could do anything about.
Therefore, if Piao wants to go wandering in other places for a long time, he must find a place where he can nourish his soul, like Piao Tsai, and have someone who is willing to take him to wander around, so that he does not dare to leave the place where he nourishes his soul for too long.
Otherwise, if there is really no limit to the soul, do you believe that a powerful occultist can rule the world?
After Old Man Qi knew this, he paid special attention to Piao Zai when he left, and also paid special attention when he came back. As expected, Piao Zai's body had become much lighter, and he could see the wall behind him through Piao Zai.
It was less than an hour since I left.
Qi Bao'er stretched out his left hand with a Buddhist bead and motioned Piao Zai to go in and patch it up first. Piao Zai shook his head, he could still hold on.
"No one will stop you from leaving tomorrow. If you don't plan to settle here, the county magistrate and the others are eager for you to leave, lest you deceive other refugees and follow them."
This time, the old man Qi was confused, "What is the county magistrate doing? Is it really just for political achievements?"
"For the purpose of mining, they discovered a large iron mine. It seems that King Xuan hid this fact and did not report it to the government."
Now both Old Man Qi and Qi Baoer understand that mining needs people, and who else is more suitable than refugees who have fled with their families or are even penniless?
Old man Qi began to worry about the villagers who stayed behind. No matter who you are, even if you are the emperor's son, without the emperor, ah, bah, mining without the emperor's approval is a private mine. In all aspects
How can an official mine opened by the imperial court need to be safe?
Piao Zai seemed to notice his worry, "They are not planning to mine iron ore now. It seems they want to wait until the war subsides."
Oh, that's good.
At least everyone will be fine for the time being.
What's more, it's impossible for them to go and tell those people that everyone should come with us, otherwise they will be left to mine.
You are not looking for death.
Those who stay and may start mining in the future will be fine, but those who leave will be in trouble.
Who can say for sure.
Piao Zai added: "Also, Xianjia, you guessed it right. General Liu is still in Canaan City. General Liu still has nearly 30,000 Canaan City people in his hands. The soldiers of the imperial court should be worried about the lives of those people.
I didn’t dare to attack by force.”
Qi Baoer asked: "Did the county magistrate and others say how many soldiers General Liu has?"
Piaozai shook his head, "I didn't say that. I just said that there are soldiers from the imperial court at the passes on the other side of the Acropolis. The soldiers from the Acropolis cannot be mobilized. Canaan City can only be guarded by General Liu."
He also said that Canaan City is very important. If it falls, General Liu will have no choice but to retreat to Hefeng Town. If Hefeng Town is lost again, the entire Yingzhou will be lost."
"Oh, there's more." Piaozai suddenly shouted, startling the unprepared old man Qi.
"The county magistrate also said that King Xuan has a secret weapon in his hand. As long as the weapon reaches Canaan City, it will be impossible for the imperial court to capture it."
Old man Qi: "Secret weapon, what secret weapon?"
Piaozai shook his head again, he didn't think so, the county magistrate and the others didn't say anything, they had already gone to sleep.
After shaking his head, he turned into a burst of white smoke and slipped back into the prayer beads. He showed by his actions that he had found these valuable ones at night.
Qi Baoer thought of the letters she gave to the masked man in the mountains.
Could the Medicine Man be the so-called secret weapon of King Xuan?
However, these are far away from them and are beyond their control and responsibility. It is great if they can ensure their own safety.
After confirming that there would be no problem in leaving town, Old Qi picked up Qi Bao'er and went to rest. Tonight, Mrs. Tian and the others were grinding corn downstairs, and he and Guaiguai had the upper room to themselves.
Early the next morning, before setting off, Qi Baoer asked her father to buy the larger carriage as well.
In the middle of the night last night, Piaozai wandered again, this time to explore the outside of the town.
The shopkeeper didn't lie to them. The road leading to Hefeng Town was much wider than the road leading from Sanhe Town. It was half as big as the official road they took at the beginning, and a large carriage could pass through it.
When the large procession set off, the shopkeeper's family barely bowed to see them off. The shopkeeper's younger brother also grinned like a younger brother because his other carriage, the smallest one, had also been bought by Qi Erniu early in the morning.
Qi Erniu watched his wife's belly getting bigger and bigger, and he was really worried that something would happen to her if she continued like this. Just as it happened, several boys in the village were messing with their horses, so he went to ask questions from house to house.
There were many wealthy people, so having one more horse wouldn't necessarily make things easier. But having one less horse would mean someone else could push him over, so they gave the horse to Qi Er Niu.
For this reason, Qi Erniu borrowed five taels of silver from Qi Kangan.
If you don't look at Qi Bao'er's own private house, now Lao Qi's family is the poorest in the big house.
Ye Sanni felt in her pocket and really looked at Qi Kang'an, who was arranging things in front of her. If my daughter has money, it's not ours. We're borrowing it.
Why don't you feel ashamed that you owe your daughter money?
With those big finger joints, the girl looks exactly like her father in this regard.
A: It’s okay. We will pay back what we owe to my daughter slowly in this life, and we will eventually pay it off.
Take a look at these words, are they the words of a father?
A: Mom, you can use my money. If it’s not enough, I’ll think of something else.
Take a look at these words. How much experience do you have to say such a thing?
