A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Shen Qingqian talked with Zhou Susu for a while, then went home with the five thousand taels given by Master Zhou.

She called her brothers and sisters and told them about her desire to go to the North.

As expected, my family members disagreed. They said it was a chaotic time and it would be dangerous for a little girl to go there!

Shen Qingqian reasoned with them, appealed to their emotions, and said a lot of reasons, in short, they must go.

Finally, seeing that Shen Qingqian had made up her mind, everyone could not persuade her and could only reluctantly agree. However, Shen Qingfeng offered to go with her.

Shen Qingqian simply refused on the grounds that everyone in the family needed his care.

After obtaining her grandfather's consent, Yingzi decided to follow Shen Qingqian.

Zhiqing and Zhizhu also wanted to go with them, after all, their original mission was to protect Shen Qingqian. Now that Shen Qingqian was going to such a dangerous place, of course they had to follow and protect her safety.

Shen Qingqian knew that she would not be able to keep them this time, but she still agreed.

But she took away the three people who knew martial arts, so Shen Qingfeng was the only skilled person left in the shop.

Shen Qingqian was really worried, so she transferred six young men with good skills from Black Stone Mountain to protect the safety of the people at home.

After thinking for a while, he told Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qingping: "Brother, second brother, if you encounter any serious problems, go to Master Zhou for help."

Shen Qingfeng said: "Qingqian, don't worry about the family matters. My brother and I will take care of it. What you need to worry about now is yourself! When you go out, you must protect yourself."

Shen Qingping also said: "Little sister, be careful on the road. When you get there, remember to report to us that you are safe."

Shen Qingqian agreed to all of them and promised to return safely.

After settling matters at home, Shen Qingqian took Yingzi, the educated youth Zhizhu, and Zhou Susu to the capital.

Zhou Susu still invited Shen Qingqian and the others to live in Yang's house, but Shen Qingqian refused. They still had a lot of things to prepare, and it was really inconvenient to live in Yang's house.

Shen Qingqian and his companions found an inn to stay in and had a good night's rest.

The next morning, Zhou Susu sent someone to deliver a silver note of 12,000 taels and told Shen Qingqian that she had contacted Zhou Qi and that Zhou Qi would be able to leave in about five days.

In five days, Shen Qingqian needed to prepare a lot of things, including food, medicine, cotton-padded clothes and quilts, etc. In addition, she also planned to bring some coal over.

It takes time to prepare these things, and it takes manpower to transport them. So she had to hurry up and make arrangements in the five days.

Zhou Qi can bring more than 20 brothers with him on this trip, and Zhou Susu can also transfer more than 20 people from the mansion. This can barely gather 50 people. But to escort so many things, the manpower is still far from enough.

Therefore, Shen Qingqian had no choice but to go to the pawnbroker to buy people again. However, this time the situation was special, and the people she bought had to be taken to the northern border, which was a dangerous job.

Therefore, Shen Qingqian was not picky about others. As long as anyone was willing to go with her, she would take them all.

The pawnshop in the capital is very big and has many people in it. Unlike the last time in Tai'an Town, she booked all the people in the pawnshop, and there were only more than a hundred people.

Shen Qingqian explained the situation to the manager of the pawnshop. The manager was a straightforward man and said that as long as Shen Qingqian was willing to buy the item, regardless of gender, age or status, the price would be fifteen taels of silver per person.

Shen Qingqian thought it was feasible and nodded in agreement.

The steward called over 300 people, and they stood in the yard in a dense crowd. But everyone lowered their heads, hoping to be chosen by a better master.

Shen Qingqian glanced around and said, "I came here today to buy someone, not to take him back as a slave, but to accompany me to escort a batch of supplies to the northern border."

When Shen Qingqian said this, everyone had different expressions. Some people quickly looked up and looked at Shen Qingqian with an incredible expression;

Some people showed fear, fearing that they would be bought and taken to such a dangerous place;

Some people have a nonchalant expression on their faces, as if they don’t care where they go.

However, no one spoke, and their willingness and unwillingness were written on their faces.

Shen Qingqian felt that this dental clinic was quite good at managing people and had a lot of rules, which was something she liked.

Then Shen Qingqian said, "So, if any of you are willing to be bought by me, please stand up. If you are not willing, I will not buy you."

More than three hundred people stood there quietly, and no one stepped out.

Shen Qingqian frowned. Are these people so afraid of death?

But think about it, how many people in the world are not afraid of death?

Forget it. If they are unwilling, she won't force them and will think of other ways.

Shen Qingqian was just about to say hello to the manager and leave when a boy of about fifteen or sixteen stood up.

He looked at Shen Qingqian firmly and said, "I am willing to go with you, girl."

Shen Qingqian looked at him. The boy was thin and wore a coarse cotton coat. The cuffs were worn out, revealing the cotton wool inside.

Shen Qingqian raised her eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you afraid that it will be dangerous if you follow me?"

The young man shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid! My father is now on the battlefield in the north. I can go there to look for him. I just don't know if he is still alive..."

The boy's voice went from clear at the beginning to a choked voice.

"it is good!"

After hearing the boy's words, Shen Qingqian felt inexplicably sad and didn't know what to say.

War is cruel. How many families are hoping that their loved ones on the battlefield can return safely!

But, how many people have ever returned from wars throughout history?

How many families have lost their loved ones!

At this time, another little girl came out and asked timidly, "Can I get a monthly salary if I go to the North with you?"

Shen Qingqian looked at the little girl, who was younger than her, wearing thin clothes and had a red face from the cold.

"Of course, you can receive one or two taels of silver as monthly salary."

"Then I'll go!"

Almost as soon as Shen Qingqian finished speaking, the little girl couldn't wait to respond.

However, her face soon became worried again, and she asked, "But, didn't you say you want to escort the goods? Do you want women too?"

Shen Qingqian said straightforwardly: "Yes! Whether it's a man or a woman, as long as they are willing to do it, they can play their value."

"Okay, I'll go!"

The little girl said it again.

When other people heard that they could get one or two taels of silver every month, many of them also began to be tempted. Then, some people stood up and expressed their willingness to be bought by Shen Qingqian.

Of course, more people are still unwilling to take risks and think that being a slave is better than going to the North.

Shen Qingqian ended up buying a total of sixty people, fifty-two men and eight women.

After paying the bill and getting the indentures of these people, Shen Qingqian was about to leave when an acquaintance came in from outside. It was Zhang Sheng!
