Lin Congyun glanced at her and said, "I asked you to come over for lunch just now, but you didn't come out. I thought you didn't plan to talk to me anymore."

Fang Deyu stepped forward and took Lin Congyun's arm. "Mom, how could I not talk to you? I just ate a little too much this morning, so I didn't want to eat lunch just now."

"You really don't want to eat?" Lin Congyun tilted his head and looked at her suspiciously.

"Really..." Fang Deyu didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he immediately changed the subject, "Mom, what are you going out for?"

"Just a stroll."

"Then...Mom, please take me with you." Fang Deyu looked at her eagerly.

Lin Congyun reached out and poked her forehead, "You're just too idle."

The two of them were strolling around Wanping County. After strolling for a while, Fang Deyu saw that Lin Congyun didn't buy anything and couldn't help but speak.

"Mom, what do you want to buy?"

"I don't want to buy anything, I just want to go shopping."

After Lin Congyun said this, he happened to see a blacksmith shop in front of him and walked in.

There were all kinds of farm tools in the shop, but there were no mining tools that Lin Congyun wanted.

"Boss, do you have any tools for knocking stones here?" Lin Congyun asked the boss standing beside him.

"Knocking stones?" The boss frowned and looked at Lin Congyun in confusion. Then he wiped his face and looked at her, "Madam, we only have farm tools here. We don't have the one you mentioned. You can go to other stores to have a look."

After hearing what he said, Lin Congyun turned around and left with Fang Deyu.

"Mom, why did you buy that?" Fang Deyu looked at her with some confusion.

"I heard that the land over at Bianyun Pass is full of rocks. If you want to farm, you have to move the rocks away first." Lin Congyun began to make up lies again, "If you encounter large rocks and can't move them away, then don't you need tools?"

"Mom, you think too much..."

Before Fang Deyu finished speaking, Zheng Qianzhi's voice came from behind, "Madam, Miss Lin, are you out shopping too?"

The reason why Zheng Qianzhi called Fang Deyu "Miss Lin" was because Lin Congyun changed the surnames on the travel passes he issued to everyone to avoid people discovering their identities.

Before Lin Congyun could even speak, she heard Fang Deyu tell her everything she wanted to buy when she went shopping.

After Lin Congyun rolled his eyes countless times in his heart, Zheng Qianzhi said, "I can get what the old lady wants."

"Brother Zheng, is it true?"

When Fang Deyu heard Zheng Qianzhi's words, he looked at him with joy.

"Miss Lin, I happen to have a blacksmith shop at home, and I can make it."

"Mom, did you hear that? Brother Zheng can do it."

Lin Congyun rolled her eyes at her. How could she not hear what Zheng Qianzhi said right in front of her?

"Your family also has an iron shop?" Lin Congyun turned his head and looked at Zheng Qianzhi, "I didn't expect that Mr. Zheng's family has such a wide business."

"There, there, they are all small businesses. If the old lady needs it, I will go back and ask them to make it quickly."

"From what Master Zheng said, the iron shop in Wanping County is owned by your family?"

When Zheng Qianzhi heard what Lin Congyun said, he looked somewhat smug, "Madam, that's right."

"Can Mr. Zheng get the other things, too?"

"nature."

Hearing Zheng Qianzhi's affirmative answer, Lin Congyun smiled, "Okay then..."

Then, Lin Congyun talked about the tools he needed.

After hearing this, Zheng Qianzhi suddenly looked confused, "Madam, are these tools you need really for farming?"

"Of course." Lin Congyun nodded, "What else can it be used for?"

"But these tools are for mining, not for farming."

"That's why young people don't understand." Lin Congyun started to deceive again, "You haven't been to Bianyun Pass, so you don't know what it's like over there. If you don't have these tools, you can't grow crops on the land, and people won't have food to eat."

"This……"

Seeing Zheng Qianzhi's embarrassed expression, Lin Congyun pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I feel like I'm causing trouble for Master Zheng, so forget it. There's no need to trouble Master Zheng."

"No trouble, no trouble, I'll go back and ask them to do it."

Hearing Lin Congyun's words, Zheng Qianzhi immediately said,

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Zheng." Lin Congyun smiled. This man seemed to be easy to deceive.

On the next day, Zheng Qianzhi came over and talked about the tools.

"Madam, the tools you need will take about half a month to make."

"Half a month is fine." Lin Congyun disagreed, "I will keep some staff. I wonder how much the deposit is?"

"This..." Zheng Qianzhi cleared his throat, "Old Madam, I want fifty taels of silver."

"Fifty taels?" Lin Congyun was startled, then frowned and asked, "So much?"

"Madam, you get one thing for one cent. The making of this tool is quite troublesome, and..."

Zheng Qianzhi paused, then whispered, "The tools that the old lady needs can only be made privately."

After hearing this, Lin Congyun immediately understood that private individuals were not allowed to make mining tools in this era.

"Is that...safe?"

This is what Lin Congyun was worried about. Theoretically, they should be fugitives. If they were discovered, it would not be a good thing.

"Don't worry, old lady. I have already made arrangements. Let them do it quietly. No one else will find out."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Master Zheng."

Lin Congyun asked Wu Jinjie to pay a deposit of fifty taels first. After sending Zheng Qianzhi away, Wu Jinjie asked with some concern.

"Grandfather, it's a bit expensive to make those tools."

In fact, Wu Jinjie was wondering why these tools had to be built, but he never asked about Lin Congyun's decisions and would just execute them.

"I have great use for those tools, so it doesn't matter if they cost me a little more."

Anyway, it's not her money, so there's no need to worry about it.

Then, Lin Congyun instructed Wu Jinjie to leave behind reliable people and find a way to transport the tools to Bianyun Pass after they were made.

After staying in Wanping County for about three days, Lin Congyun decided to set off.

When Fang Deyu heard the news, she tried to ask, "Mom, aren't we leaving before the tools are ready?"

"I have already arranged the personnel." Lin Congyun looked at Fang Deyu and said, "We can't stay in one place for too long, understand?"

Fang Deyu wanted to say something, but after hearing what his mother said, he had no choice but to obey.

At this time, Zheng Qianzhi also came over. When he heard that they were leaving, he insisted on going with them no matter what.
