Because they know that this money was posted by Su Qi'an. How have they, craftsmen, ever seen such a kind person like Su Qi'an.
Not only are they given wages that are several times higher than those in the outside world, plus additional rewards, what they earn from working in the back mountains for a month is enough to support their family for half a year.
None of them would want to leave here if possible.
As for the things they made in their hands, as experienced craftsmen, most of their suspicions were confirmed when they saw the final product.
This thing is absolutely contraband. If it were other wealthy nobles, they would definitely hide as far away as they could.
But it's different when it comes to Su Qi'an. As a person from Dongshan Village, I know Su Qi'an very well.
Dongshan Village is now the size of a town, and villagers no longer have to travel around to beg for food.
The security in the village is also quite good, unlike before where everyone was worried.
Su Qi'an built this kind of thing for the ultimate purpose of protecting Dongshan Village.
This is closely related to their own safety. No one would be stupid enough to expose this matter while enjoying a happy life.
Su Qi'an greeted the master craftsmen, and under the leadership of Tong Zhan, walked aside and saw the finished explosives.
A piece of something roughly cylindrical, wrapped in yellow paper, with a lead at one end.
It's not very big and can be held in one hand, making it very convenient to carry.
Tong Zhan, who was beside him, stepped forward and explained, "This is the first batch of finished products, about thirty pieces. According to the current progress, this mine is enough for us to produce for a year."
Su Qi'an nodded. This was similar to what he had thought before. The amount of raw ore for explosives was not large, and he could make several hundred sticks. Su Qi'an was very satisfied.
If the quantity is really large, it will not be a good thing for Su Qi'an. After all, Su Qi'an cannot always stay in Dongshan Village.
If the mineral resources discovered in the back mountain are not developed in time, even if they are strictly guarded, there is no airtight wall in this world.
Once this matter is leaked, with Su Qi'an's strength, not only will this mine be unable to be saved, but it will definitely lead to death.
Su Qi'an looked at the finished product in his hand and said, "Well, if possible, we will see if we can expand the scale later. It is best to mine the mineral resources as quickly as possible."
"My subordinate understands that I will keep a close eye on this matter."
"Let's go and try the power of this thing."
Su Qi'an said hello, and Tong Zhan and Su Yong followed, stopping in front of an open space deep in the back mountain.
Tong Zhan stepped forward, took the explosive from Su Qi'an's hand, tied it to the arrow, and lit the fuse.
Tong Zhan drew the bow to full capacity, and there was a whoosh!
The arrow flew out and quickly disappeared into a dense forest ahead. After about a few seconds, a huge explosion sounded in front.
Immediately afterwards, several thick trees fell to the ground, and the birds on the book were frightened and fled in all directions.
Fortunately, this place is deep in the back mountain, and the villagers cannot hear the noise caused by the explosion.
But the force of the explosion of this explosive tube was enough to knock over a dozen heavy armored soldiers.
After the explosion, this scene surprised Su Yong, who had always been taciturn, but he quickly recovered without saying a word.
Seeing the power of the explosion in front of him, Su Qian's face was filled with excitement.
The explosives created this time were several levels higher than the explosives Su Qi'an had temporarily placed in arrows and ignited before.
"As expected, professionals do professional things."
Su Qi'an lamented that if he produced the drawings and then had a dozen experienced craftsmen make the finished product, the quality of the finished product would be much better than what Su Qi'an could have done alone.
The explosives were taken out, and Su Qi'an felt more confident.
"This trip to Kawadu County, let me see what kind of monsters are hidden there."
…
That day, Su Qi'an went down the back mountain before dark.
He was in a good mood, with a bright smile on his face. Tong Zhan and Su Yong were doing things, and Su Qi'an was relieved.
Su Qi'an, who took his thoughts back from the back mountain and returned to the room, said hello to Qin Ziyin, entered his room, and started planning for the next step.
This stay lasted three days.
When Su Qian came out of the room, Qin Ziyin was the only one in front of him.
As for Qin Yueshan and Qin Wu, they reunited with Qin Ziyin in Dongshan Village for two days and returned to Lingbei County early on the third day.
Now that Qin Wu has been rescued, and Su Qian's greetings to Fang Jingzhi in advance, the Qin family, which has been suppressed and unable to survive, is recovering quickly.
This is when manpower is needed. If Su Qi'an can come out early, I'm afraid Qin Yueshan will be in a hurry to go back the next day.
They didn't dare to disturb Su Qi'an too much, and waited for two full days. They were really in a hurry. Seeing that Su Qi'an still didn't show up, they left a few words of apology and left first.
Su Qi'an can understand Qin Yueshan's anxiety. Now that the relationship between the two families has long been settled, Su Qi'an will naturally not care about it.
It’s better for the Qin Yueshan family to go back first. Su Qi’an still has something to do later. He needs to use the strength of the Qin family to clear the way in Sichuandu County.
Seeing Qin Ziyin's busy figure, Su Qi'an stepped forward and hugged Qin Ziyin. The next step was a world for two...
With Su Qi'an's return, Dongshan Village was obviously a lot more lively. Not only were they looking forward to seeing Su Qi'an, but more importantly, there was an additional group of people in Dongshan Village two days ago.
Dongshan Village now has a population of over 10,000, reaching the size of a small town.
Most of these people are people from the surrounding mountain villages, and they come here one after another because of Su Qi'an's prestige.
For these people, Su Qi'an did not refuse, but accepted them one after another. It was only a matter of time before the scale of Dongshan Village expanded, and Su Qi'an had already been prepared for this.
As for the temperament screening of personnel, Li Xiaomei's women's skills are already very skilled in this kind of thing.
If you want to live in Dongshan Village, you must be united and not make trouble. This is an absolutely insurmountable red line. If you violate the rules, no matter who it is, you will be expelled directly.
This red line is also the reason why Dongshan Village can control no matter how many people come.
As the population grew, the village protection team also expanded in size. After seven days of screening, the village protection team of 100 people was directly expanded to 500 people.
The extra 400 people began training under the leadership of the four captains Li Hu, Zhao Da, Tieniu, and Shuisheng.
The next period of time exhausted them. Although they were tired, with the village protection team of 500 people, they could at least ensure the order of Dongshan Village.
As for the one hundred new troops in Dongzi Mountain, Su Qi'an has no intention of expanding them for the time being.
It's not that they don't trust the members of the village protection team, but that their abilities are currently not up to the standards of the new army.
This new army of one hundred people is not only Su Qi'an's true confidant, but also the strongest combat force.
The new army that survived the Ningzhou battlefield was not comparable to the village protection team.
Moreover, the new army has a special purpose and is a special force that Su Qian wants to cultivate.
In the past two months, the new army has been undergoing secret training. Now, although their strength is not as strong as Tong Zhan individually, four or five people working together can definitely knock Tong Zhan down.
Even if you meet a dead soldier trained by a wealthy family, you won't be afraid.
If Su Qian was leading a new army in Lingdong County, the dead soldiers trained by the Song family would definitely never come back, and their own casualties would not exceed ten.
After being silent for so long, it's time for them to relax.
Lingbei County government office and lobby.
Fang Jingzhi, with a smile on his face, was happily chatting with Su Qi'an.
As a parent official, Fang Jingzhi probably knew about 70% of what Su Qian was doing in Lingdong County.
Looking at Su Qi'an, Fang Jingzhi had deep admiration on his face.
Su Qi'an was able to deal with such a crisis in Lingdong County calmly, and his words were revealed as easily as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
With such calmness, it would be difficult to find the second one.
Fang Jingzhi nodded and asked, "Mr. Su, judging from the way you came today, you probably didn't come here to catch up with Xiaguan. The small Lingbei County can't keep you. If Xianguan is right, you will be here in a few days." , we will depart from Kawato County."
Su Qian smiled, "Master Fang is right. The matter in Lingbei County has almost been solved. I have also made arrangements for Dongshan Village. I have to go to Sichuan County. After all, Wei Yundu said that, It’s better to meet the Wei family.”
Fang Jingzhi understood Su Qi'an's thoughts. The affairs in Lingdong County seemed to be a matter of the Song family, but the Wei family was deeply involved behind the scenes.
Moreover, the contradiction between the two is so great that it cannot be reconciled. To put it bluntly, the other party has put the tip of the knife into Su Qi'an's face. If he does not fight back, it will not be justified at all.
Fang Jingzhi thought for a while and said, "Sir, when you go to the county town this time, why don't you send a team of sergeants to go with you?"
Su Qian shook his head and waved his hand. The next moment, some dark figures quickly appeared in the lobby.
Black figures stood on both sides, wearing night clothes and hoods, so their faces could not be seen clearly.
There were not many people, only twenty people, but these people made Fang Jingzhi's pupils shrink and his expression changed a little.
Although these people looked like logs and were very dull, once they took action, Fang Jingzhi understood that no one in the county government could stop them.
Fang Jingzhi knew their identities. They were the new troops that Su Qi'an brought back from the Ningzhou battlefield to protect him. They were his escorts.
I had heard about the ferocity of the new army, but when I met them, the shock was the biggest shock.
Fang Jingzhi came back to his senses and sighed, "It seems that I have been worrying too much. With such a group of people protecting you, I can rest assured."
After waving his hands, the 20 new soldiers disappeared without a trace again. The tense atmosphere in the lobby eased, allowing Fang Jingzhi to relax.
The oppression brought by these people is really too great.
Su Qi'an turned his head and said to Fang Jingzhi, "I came to see you this time. On the one hand, I want to say goodbye to you and hope that you can take care of Dongshan Village. The other purpose is to give you a gift."
"A gift?" Fang Jingzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Qi'an.
Fang Jingzhi understood and moved closer. Su Qi'an's voice sounded...
