After the county magistrate left, Ji Ping'an also returned from the county magistrate.
While walking on the road, he kept thinking about what happened with the county guard these past few days.
He could clearly feel that the county guard gave him a sense of threat, but it was not oppression.
Instead, he is like a spectator who understands everything.
From this, he guessed that the county guard most likely had nothing to do with the force behind him that really wanted his life.
If that were the case, he wouldn't be given a token at the last moment.
The more Ji Ping'an thought about it, the more he felt that the county guard might be able to become a part of his strength.
Being able to protect one's own sex at critical moments is also a certain thing.
Ji Ping'an's face showed an increasingly serious look as he walked slowly on the road.
Thoughts are still echoing.
What he was sure of was that the county governor must know some inside information, so he would say something like that.
However, there is no way to fully control the power of obedience, and he cannot reveal his trump card in front of the county governor.
One thing that is certain is that if we are really desperate or just in case, it is not certain that the county guard can be moved out.
The reason why he had this idea was because of the token that the county guard gave him at the last moment.
That token could obviously save his life at the most critical moment. If the county guard really wanted to kill him, there was no way he would have given the token to him at the last moment.
Ji Ping'an touched the token on his chest. He actually knew what the governor wanted.
After all, being an official just wants to climb up, as long as it can satisfy some of his career goals.
Then he will become more and more important to him, and this situation will indeed be much worse than imagined.
Seeing all this in his eyes, Ji Ping'an couldn't help but reveal a solemn look on his face.
He knew very well that now he must help the county governor as soon as possible to gain more advantages in his official career.
As long as he does this, he will be more appreciated by the county guard, which will also be of great significance to his own future.
After Ji Ping'an returned home, he calmed down and no longer thought about obedience.
Now his family's situation has completely improved, and it is no longer as bare as before.
At this moment, he is already considered to be a wealthy person. The income from the casino and the dyeing shop is enough to support the Ji family for a lifetime.
Ji Ping'an no longer has financial pressure, so what he will do next is to study the ores they recently found from the mountains.
He must pick out the ores separately as soon as possible to see which ones can be used by him. This is another trump card of his.
Ji Ping'an studied those cold-looking stones day and night every day.
When Li Cuiyun saw Ji Pingan working so hard every day, she felt very sorry for her husband.
Every time Ji Ping An rested until late at night, she would stay with Ji Ping An and help Ji Ping An do whatever she could.
At night, Ji Ping'an was busy in the room, studying the ore.
Li Cuiyun looked at the ores, and there was no big difference between each piece of ore to him.
She didn't understand why Ji Ping'an insisted on studying the ore.
With a faint smile on her face, she walked directly in front of Ji Pingan and expressed some of her thoughts.
"Husband, what's so interesting about these cold stones? Why do I think you care so much about these stones and keep looking at them every day?"
"Are you hoping to find something in this?"
Li Cuiyun directly expressed her thoughts.
After Ji Ping'an heard what he said, a faint smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"You know what, these things are not ordinary ores. If I can find the things I want, they will be of extraordinary significance to us."
"He can help us solve some unsolvable problems, and more importantly, he can also use it to create some rouge gouache."
When Ji Ping'an spoke, he slowly raised his hand and lightly drew on Li Cuiyun's face.
Then he continued: "After I make those rouge and gouache, I will definitely make them more supple and shiny than now."
Li Cuiyun felt a little embarrassed after Ji Pingan's words fell, and gently patted Ji Pingan's shoulder.
"Husband, you are so annoying!"
Li Cuiyun turned her head to one side and stopped talking.
However, Li Cuiyun was also curious about what Ji Pingan said. After a long time, she calmed down and asked curiously.
"Husband, these look like ordinary stones. They can really make our women more beautiful."
Ji Ping'an nodded affirmatively and said, "Nature can definitely make you beautiful, but these ores are ores to you."
"Because you don't know how to process them."
"But it's completely different for me. They are all tools to make money. As long as I make that top-quality rouge gouache, I will sell it for a hundred and ten taels of silver at least."
When Li Cuiyun heard Ji Ping'an say such words, she was so surprised that she was speechless.
"Is this true? Can it really be sold at such a high price? If so, husband, you have to work hard!"
Li Cuiyun now loves money very much. He is afraid of poverty and has always been very cautious in controlling money.
Ji Ping'an looked at her appearance at this moment and just smiled knowingly.
He also knew what Li Cuiyun was thinking now, so he didn't say any more.
Instead, he continued to study the ores in his hands.
To outsiders, he was studying those ores, but to Ji Ping'an himself.
That wasn't really about developing a rouge gouache.
These ores can produce rouge gouache, which is only a small part of his plan.
What he really has to do is use these ores, and if he can find enough materials, he can make explosives that can be used.
You know, explosives are very important to them, especially in this relatively backward era.
If he could possess explosives, there wouldn't be any threat, not to mention the things behind his back.
Even if there are thousands of troops, he can easily block them completely.
But now Ji Pingan has no way to tell anyone, not even Li Cuiyun, who has always loved him very much.
Ji Ping'an is still studying those ores every day, which is also a very boring and boring thing for him.
No matter what, he won't give up.
