"You..." Cao Qing let out a long sigh: "I'll go with you! Although the price this guy wants is a bit outrageous, you can get some back more or less."
Cao Qing thought that Xu Que was asking for a lot of money, but the truth he didn't know was that Xu Que had underestimated a lot. If he really wanted to be careful with his calculations, he would have to double the amount...
"You don't need to say anything when you go, I will handle this matter alone." After Zu Shanhe finished speaking, he stood up and headed directly towards the Qiu Shui Sect.
Cao Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head. He also took one step forward and followed Zu Shanhe...
Watching the two seniors leave, Xu Maocai glanced at Xu Que and said, "You kid..."
In fact, he really wanted to say something to Xu Que, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.
"Dad, everyone is riding on you, shouldn't we fight back?" Xu Que said, "If we get the money back, there may be a way to keep the uncle and eldest brother alive!"
"real?"
Xu Maocai was a little surprised, because they all knew that Hu Shichang was a poor man, so how could they bribe him?
"The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. As long as we have this money, I don't believe we can't pry the Beimang cavalry away!" Xu Que showed an unknown smile.
For Xu Que, since Hu Shichang is the seamless egg, he might as well go to Beimang to get the seamless egg!
Xu Maocai and Uncle Liu were surprised and had no idea what Xu Que meant by what he said. But Xu Que's next sentence made them understand what this boy was going to do!
"Brother, write a letter to your uncle and say, find a way to contact someone in Beimang who you can talk to, preferably someone who is greedy for money and capable of doing things. They don't need to give up the attack on Dayan, as long as they can delay it for more than a month. .”
"Okay, I'm going to write a letter to my uncle now." After Xu Fan finished speaking, he went straight to his study.
"Que'er, is your method feasible?" Xu Maocai asked.
"As long as the money is in place, I'm not afraid that someone in Beimang won't be tempted. Since Dayan is determined to get us, let's buy the opportunity on the opposite side!"
Xu Que no longer explained the reason. He had to call people now, and he had to call a lot of people.
After telling Uncle Liu the number of people and materials needed next, Xu Que hurried back to the small courtyard. He just wanted to know if Huang Qianying could make what he needed.
Half an hour later, after Xu Que and Huang Qianying finalized all the materials, he hurriedly went to find Uncle Liu, because he only gave Uncle Liu general information, and this time he got detailed information.
Before Xu Que arrived at the main hall, Uncle Liu looked for Xu Que first.
"Young Master, we have almost recruited the people you want, but we have no place to place them," said Uncle Liu.
"Replacement?" Xu Que was a little confused, but he realized it in a moment: "I didn't ask you to take these people into the city. I need them to stay on the river beach."
This time Liu Bo was confused. He didn't understand what Xu Que was going to do at this moment.
Xu Que continued: "Thirty miles west of the river beach, there are several large mountains. The stone there is limestone. And I heard from Xu Si that there is more or less iron ore there, but it's just not worth mining, so I want to buy it. Go down those big mountains."
"Young Master, are you mistaken? Do you want to buy those broken mountains?"
Uncle Liu was shocked when he heard this. He thought Xu Que must be crazy. How could anyone buy those broken mountains?
"They may be broken mountains to others, but to me, those big mountains are like treasure mountains." Xu Que said with a smile: "Here are these things for you, hurry up and buy them for me. There are good things here that can crack mountains and crack rocks." !”
Uncle Liu took the list with hesitation, and with a quick glance, he almost died of fright, because there were so many things that Xu Que wanted to buy, and even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver couldn't stop him...
Uncle Liu advised: "Young Master, why don't you wait for the two seniors to come back? There is not so much money in the house..."
"It's okay. You go and order it first. I believe Zu Daru can get some of it back." Xu Que smiled and then returned to the small courtyard.
He has no intention of talking about this now. He has to design various things now, and he has to hire many craftsmen...
Looking at Xu Que's leaving figure, Uncle Liu was still a little worried, but now there is no good way, he can only treat the dead horse as a live doctor...
As the sun sets, Xu Que sits in front of the desk and is busy, and Huang Qianying looks at Xu Que from time to time.
Although she was also busy, it didn't stop her from looking at Xu Que. Huang Qianying had an indescribable feeling about this little man, as if there was something about him that attracted her.
If Xu Que knew what Huang Qianying was thinking at this moment, he would definitely burst into laughter. You know, there are five types of men who are most attractive to women, and Xu Que has three of them at this moment: serious, calm, handsome...
Seeing the design drawings being gradually completed, Xu Que also had a smile on his face. This huge project might have taken more than half a year in the previous life, but in this magical world, the prototype can be completed in a month at most!
"Is this a workshop?" Huang Qianying came over curiously and asked.
"Hmm... almost." Xu Tiao nodded: "But I gave him another name!"
"What?"
"Factory!" Xu Que said with a smile, "This is a cement factory."
"What is cement?" Huang Qianying asked.
"A building material with very wide applicability. You will understand it when this thing comes out." Xu Que replied with a smile.
Huang Qianying nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, after Xu Que left, she could look through the pile of information.
What Huang Qianying didn't know was that Xu Que's pile of information really didn't have anything to do with chemistry. Those of his were just messy design drawings...
Just when Xu Que was holding the crucible design drawing and wanted to make further modifications, suddenly, a servant knocked on the door.
"Young Master, the second master asked you to go to the main hall and said that two seniors are back."
Hearing the servant's words, Xu Que's eyes lit up, and he threw down the black coal and ran towards the main hall, regardless of the design in his hand.
When Xu Que came to the main hall, he was stunned...
Because there was a middle-aged beautiful woman standing next to Old Man Cao. Could this be... Xu Que didn't dare to think about it anymore. If that was the case, he would never agree to this engagement unless he was beaten to death...
"You brat, you came quite quickly." Zu Shanhe looked at Xu Que with a smile, and then took out a wooden box: "This is the rent the Qiu Shui Sect gave you. Although it is not the amount you mentioned, Lao Cao and I feel , these are enough.”
"How much?" Xu Que curiously took the wooden box.
"Five hundred thousand taels!" Zu Shanhe replied with a proud face.
ah?
Everyone was shocked by this number. They thought it would be good to have two or three hundred thousand taels, but they wanted back a full five hundred thousand taels.
Xu Que's expression was a little unhappy. He was not surprised by the people present, but felt that it was too little!
"Okay, this is already a lot." Cao Qing tried to smooth things over: "If it wasn't for the old ghost who refused to leave, I guess they wouldn't have given you a penny."
Xu Que naturally understood how difficult it was to collect the account this time, but since he had given some, there was no need to pursue him. In general, the Xu family was not important enough. If the Xu family stood at the top, Even if Xu Que didn't say anything, the Qiu Shui Sect would rush to give him money.
"You kid." Zu Shanhe could understand what Xu Que was thinking, patted him, and introduced: "This is Taoist Yuan Qing, who is in charge of the affairs of the Qiu Shui Sect. She came to you to discuss cooperation with you. "
Hearing that it was not Cao Mutong, Xu Que finally felt relieved. He was really afraid of an accident...
"Junior has met senior Yuan Qing." Xu Que bowed his hand.
"Well, he is really a talented person." Taoist Yuan Qing smiled: "I heard from the disciple down the mountain that you want to buy purple fragrant seeds. I don't know if you are really buying it? Or do you want to help the refugees?"
Hearing Taoist Yuan Qing's question, Xu Que's eyes showed surprise, because the girl's words obviously had different meanings, or the other party wanted to know why they collected the purple seeds!
"Senior, I forgive this junior for any offence." Xu Que bowed respectfully again: "May I ask, senior, what is the purpose of your visit?"
