On the second day after Su Ji Trading Company opened, Su Qi'an took Su Yong back to Dongshan Village.
Su Qi'an is not worried about the future operation of Suji Trading Company without the presence of the Zhou and Wei families.
After the comprehensive expropriation of the two industries, Suji Trading Company became a powerful new force that cannot be ignored in the county.
Currently, Suji Trading Company still has Lu Xiaowan at the helm, with Shouhou and Ye Zhong as assistants.
Behind the scenes are the Qin family and the Ye family, with a steady supply of raw materials, plus Su Qi'an's village guard team of about 200 people left in the county.
It is simply impossible to get the idea of Su Kee Trading Company.
There may be some powerful people who are envious of the development of Suji Trading Company. After all, Suji Trading Company, in its spare time, has begun to expand in an all-round way, not to mention involving all walks of life, but as long as it is a profitable industry, it will have its back.
In this case, jealousy and suppression are normal, but this suppression is only superficial, because behind Su Ji Trading Company, except Su Qian, the largest boss.
County Governor Meng Tianxiang will be Su Qi'an's greatest help after he leaves in the future.
There are powerful people in these places, and they may have some resentment towards Su Qi'an in their hearts, but in front of Meng Tianxiang and the powerful people, they have to be obedient.
After serving as the governor of Sichuan County for many years, Meng Tianxiang has many powerful methods to deal with.
Under the protection of Meng Tianxiang, the newly opened Suji Trading Company has a steady stream of money.
With that kind of momentum, as long as time is given, it will be possible to replace the three major spring courtyards.
This is also the reason why Su Qi returned to Dongshan Village with peace of mind.
Su Qi'an, who returned to the village, naturally had something to do. The first thing was to summon Li Hu, Zhao Da, Tieniu, Shui Sheng, and Li Xiaomei to prepare to expand the size of the village protection team again.
From five hundred people, it expanded to one thousand.
Previously, Su Qi'an had limited the number of village protection teams in order to hide his identity as an earl.
Now, the entire Sichuandu County probably knows his identity as the uncle of Dongshan County.
Now that it has been exposed, let's just follow the trend. The first thing to do is to expand the number of village protection team members.
With Su Qi'an's current status as earl, if he recruits private soldiers, it will definitely not work, and he will lose his temper.
But the purpose of expanding the village protection team is only to protect Dongshan Village. If this is said, there will be no doubts.
Even if there is, with Su Qian's current strength, no one can make irresponsible remarks.
A few days ago, another county magistrate was appointed in Lingbei County, originally according to Meng Tianxiang's wishes.
He wanted Su Qi'an to concurrently serve as the Lingbei County Magistrate. In this way, many things could be done openly. Having this identity on his body was also a kind of protection.
Su Qi'an refused Meng Tianxiang's kindness. Su Qi'an had never been interested in official positions.
He even took the exam just to live up to Qin Ziyin. If Su Qi'an was willing, he would be a Jinshi by now.
And now, his title has been promoted again, and his status as a Dongshan County Bodhisattva is enough for him to travel in the state capital.
If he really serves as the magistrate of Lingbei County, he will probably face more troubles, and he may not be able to leave for a while.
Lingbei County cannot live without a county magistrate for a day. After Meng Tianxiang communicated with the people above, the prefecture city sent a new county magistrate a few days ago.
His surname is He. This man is very old, almost as old as Meng Tianxiang.
It seems that retirement is not far away, and this Magistrate He is quite knowledgeable.
On the second day after taking office, he came to visit Su Qi'an, and the two talked for an hour.
Magistrate He left with satisfaction. Through understanding, Su Qi'an also understood Magistrate He's intention.
He has served as county magistrate for many years, and Lingbei County Magistrate should be his last term. He does not have much ambition and only hopes that nothing will happen to the county during his tenure.
It was all about allowing him to retire smoothly. Why didn't Su Qi'an understand?
He immediately promised that if Magistrate He needed help, just say hello.
Magistrate He wanted to land safely, and Su Qi'an hoped that the magistrate would not disturb Dongshan Village.
.
Each had their own demands, and after understanding them, both parties hit it off.
Meng Tianxiang was most likely responsible for this matter, and Su Qi'an kept this kindness in mind.
After bidding farewell to Magistrate He, Dongshan Village ushered in a large-scale expansion of enrollment.
In terms of personnel, Su Qi'an is not worried. These Li Hu and others are all veterans, and they are all well-trained. It will depend on the results of their training.
After doing this, Su Qi'an went to Back Mountain again. The explosives factory in Back Mountain had very stable daily shipments.
According to Su Qian's estimation, it is estimated that the mining will be completed in half a year.
During the half year of mining, Tong Zhan discovered an unexpected surprise.
About a hundred meters away from the explosive mine source, a mine source for making armor and weapons was found.
Although it is not big, mass production of thousands of pieces is not a problem.
Su Qi'an was still determined to mine this matter after being silent for a long time.
However, the confidentiality level of this matter is also top secret. After the production is completed, it will be transported to Dongzi Mountain for storage. During this period, a series of strict requirements are formulated.
Making armor and weapons is a capital offense in Great Liang.
After all, in the era of cold weapons, whoever controls the mineral resources will have the ability to produce on a large scale. When the personnel recruited in conjunction with them are trained, they will form a combat force that is no less than a soldier.
Having this qualifies you for rebellion, so these mineral sources have always been controlled by the imperial court.
The reason why Su Qi'an did this was not to rebel, but to protect himself.
Explosives are very powerful, but in a feudal society like Great Liang, the main combat power is cold weapons.
It's impossible for Su Qi'an to have one pack of explosives per person, that's unrealistic.
And with these armors and weapons, at least you can save your life if you encounter any emergencies in the future.
With a mine like this, Su Qi'an believed that if it came from powerful people in those places, or even the Duke of the capital.
She would definitely make the same choice as him and just keep it for herself. This was not the first time Su Qi'an had seen this.
Let's not talk about the distance, let's just talk about the Song family in Lingdong, which means occupying it openly.
Local tycoons like the Zhou and Wei families do not have to raise dead soldiers. Su Qi'an had only one purpose, to expand as much as possible and preserve his strength before the coming of troubled times.
After repeated instructions to Tong Zhan, Su Qi'an returned to the room and saw that it was getting late. It was time to do the last big thing.
As night fell, after eating with Qin Ziyin, Su Qian directly picked up Su Qianqian and walked out the door. Read the book
Qin Ziyin looked at this scene, muttered, and said a little jealously, "Okay, since when did you two, father and daughter, have such a good relationship, you are still whispering behind my back."
"Hehe, don't be angry, mother. Qianqian will go for a walk with daddy first, and will come back to accompany mother later."
"Go, go, don't play too late, go early and come back early." Qin Ziyin warned.
Su Qian nodded, led Su Qianqian out of the room, turned around, and walked towards another room.
This is Su Qi'an's study. There is usually nothing going on, and few people come to disturb it.
Stepping into the room and closing the door, Su Qian put Su Qianqian down, found a seat, sat down, looked at Su Qianqian with a smile and said.
"You should also know about the county's affairs. How about it? Can I still catch your eye now?"
Su Qianqian, who originally looked cold to Su Qian, now had a serious expression, and the next moment, she knelt down respectfully to Su Qian.
That kind of etiquette is to kneel down and worship your parents.
After a while, Su Qianqian raised her head, looked at Su Qian'an and said, "This bow is to thank dad for eradicating the Zhou and Wei families, and it can also be regarded as revenge for Qianqian."
"From now on, my parents will be my father and mother. From now on, I will be a cow and a horse, and Qianqian is also willing to do so."
Su Qianqian's move made Su Qian a little stunned, and he quickly helped her up.
He patted the dirt on Su Qianqian's body and said softly, "This matter is not yours alone, so there is no need to pay such a big courtesy."
"Salute to daddy, that's what you should do." Su Qian
Qian said seriously.
Seeing Su Qianqian's instant sexual transformation, Su Qian felt funny.
But without saying anything more, he said, "Qianqian, since you recognize me as your father, there are some things you can't hide from me."
Su Qianqian nodded. He seemed to know what Su Qian'an wanted to ask. He suddenly turned around and walked towards Su Qian'an's desk.
He squatted down and got under the desk, as if he was looking for something. After searching for a long time, he slowly crawled out from under the desk.
She seemed to be holding a piece of letter paper in her hand, walked up to Su Qi'an and handed it over.
"Hey, daddy, I'll give you what you want."
"This is this?" Su Qian asked doubtfully as he took the yellowed and damaged letter.
"This is an exchange of letters between Marquis Laiyang and a certain big shot. As for who it is, Qianqian doesn't know. As long as Qianqian has memory, this thing has been following me."
Compared with what was written in this letter, Su Qian was more curious about when Su Qianqian quietly hid this important thing under his desk.
Seeing Su Qian's confused look, Su Qianqian had a proud look on her face.
Putting his hands on his hips, he said proudly, "Hey, dad is the biggest figure in Dongshan Village. No one dares to step into dad's study, except for me, of course."
"This thing is so important. It would be bad if it were lost. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Hey, if you hide it here, no one will know."
Seeing Su Qianqian's smart look, Su Qian burst out laughing.
No wonder Qin Ziyin loves her very much. With her cleverness, anyone would like her.
Su Qian lowered her head, opened the yellowed letter in her hand, and glanced at it.
Su Qi'an let out a sigh. There was no word on the envelope. It was a blank letter.
Su Qi'an felt strange. He walked to the desk and swayed it back and forth against the candlelight. Still no writing appeared on it.
Later, Su Qi'an tried water again, but it was also useless. No matter how the letter looked, it was a wordless letter.
Su Qi'an looked helplessly at Su Qianqian.
Su Qianqian's answer made Su Qian'an feel even more helpless, "Don't look at me. I don't know the contents of the envelope. Anyway, what I can guarantee is that this letter is not fake and has not been subcontracted. I have been hunted down for so many years." , they are just for this letter."
Su Qi'an nodded, glanced at the wordless letter in his hand, and didn't say much.
He believed that Su Qianqian did not lie to him. Although Su Qianqian was a little naughty, she had good intentions and there was no need to deceive him for this matter.
It can only be said that the ancients were somewhat wise in keeping this matter secret.
"It seems that this letter will be cracked slowly in the future if there is an opportunity." Su Qian thought this way.
