The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

After listening to his story, County Magistrate Lin carefully read the contract. When he saw that the contract stipulated that half of the profits should be used for local construction, he was very surprised.

Pointing to this content, he asked, "Is this what you agreed upon from the beginning?"

Zhou Dajiang: "Yes, since I'm from Qingshan County, I naturally hope that Qingshan County can develop well. Although half a percent is not much, it would be good if I could do my bit."

County Magistrate Lin slammed his hand on the table and said, "Great, great, great! If all scholars were like you, always remembering their hometown and its people, there would be no need to worry about the development of our hometown!"

Master Yang, who was standing by, also praised him, saying, "Sir, you are righteous, and it is a blessing for you, sir."

County Magistrate Lin closed the contract and said to Zhou Dajiang, "I have read the contents of this contract and know your dedication to the county. On behalf of the people of Qingshan County, I thank you. However, it would be best if you and Datong Trading Company could revise the contents of this contract later."

Since you've decided to participate in the imperial examination, your name cannot appear on the list of people building the factory. Donghua has a rule that merchants cannot participate in the imperial examination. The contract can be amended so that Datong Trading Company will build the factory and hire you as the technical director. The salary will be determined. When you take the imperial examination in the future, the name of the director can be replaced with someone else. This way, there will be no problem.

Zhou Dajiang immediately bowed and thanked him, "Thank you for your guidance, sir. I apologize for not thinking carefully enough. When someone from Datong Trading Company comes to start the business, I will sign a new contract with them."

Then, he paused and continued, "I came here this time to apply for a piece of wasteland in advance for the construction of the processing plant. I hope you will approve it."

County Magistrate Lin: "Master Yang can handle this matter for you. However, this deed cannot be filed today. You can choose an address with Master Yang first. I will give you the official approval document after the deed is submitted next time."

Zhou Dajiang hurriedly thanked the county magistrate and returned to the registration office with Mr. Yang.

Master Yang took out the recorded records of wasteland and asked Zhou Dajiang about the approximate location he wanted. In the end, the two of them chose a piece of wasteland at the junction of Qingshangou and Yangliu Village.

Master Yang gave him a temporary approval note and said, "I will reserve this wasteland for you for a month. Once the contract is registered within a month, you can officially use it."

Zhou Dajiang thanked Master Yang, promised to come back within a month to file a record, and then left the yamen with the temporary approval slip.

Although things went a little differently than expected, he got the temporary approval, which meant he was halfway to success. Zhou Dajiang thought about it as he went to the blacksmith shop, intending to take some of the forged iron sheets back for assembly.

In the blacksmith shop, Zhou Dahe seemed to be in a good mood since his second brother drew a pie for him last time. When Zhou Dajiang went in, he even heard him singing a little song.

Seeing his second brother coming again, Zhou Dahe immediately stopped what he was doing and ran to Zhou Dajiang. "Second brother, I've made another hundred sets. Hurry up! I can make the remaining hundred sets in a day and a half!"

Master Qu also came out of the house, "After you left last time, Dahe told me that you wanted to build a factory in partnership with someone, and asked me if I wanted to go."

Zhou Dajiang quickly said, "Yes, it would be great if you could go. You can help develop products and train apprentices."

Zhou Dahe interrupted and said, "I am also a master. We can teach apprentices together."

Master Qu waved his hand and said, "I won't go. This blacksmith shop still has many regular customers, so we can't close it.

If my apprentice can’t bring it here, please send it to me and I can help carry it. If there are any items that cannot be typed, you can also send them to me.”

Zhou Dajiang: "That's fine too. I'll trouble Master Qu then."

I had originally just come to take a look and planned to take some away, but I didn't expect Zhou Dahe's efficiency to increase, and he had already completed 100 sets. At this rate, in another seven or eight days, the order for 500 sets can be completed ahead of schedule. Congratulations, congratulations!

Zhou Dajiang was carrying the finished parts on his back and walking home humming a little tune. About fifty meters after he passed a liquor store, a man with a pockmarked face emerged from the corner and followed him from a distance, but Zhou Dajiang was completely unaware of it.

After he got home, he took off his backpack, went inside to drink some water, and was about to go to Carpenter Tian's house to get a hundred sets of handles. Suddenly, a small paper ball hit his arms. When he opened it, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

It only said: "Been followed, hiding in the bushes behind the house."

It's here, it's finally here.

Zhou Dajiang was so nervous that he felt his heart almost jumped into his throat, and it took him a long time to calm down.

In order to prevent the spies from discovering the flaw, he did not tell others immediately. He put the paper ball in his arms, called his eldest brother as if nothing had happened, and went with him to Tian the Carpenter's house to get the handle.

On the way, he quickly went over what had happened.

Since the spy had followed us home, unaware of his exposure, he certainly wouldn't just walk away. This meant he was definitely going to come back tonight. As long as the child was hidden, and all the secret guards were mobilized, catching the spy shouldn't be a problem. But to be on the safe side, we should still come up with a strategy.

So, when Zhou Dajiang arrived at Carpenter Tian's house, he lied that he saw mice at home and bought four mousetraps from Carpenter Tian.

Zhou Dahai was still stunned and asked, "Are there any mice in the house? Why don't I see any?"

Zhou Dajiang couldn't tell him the truth, so he said, "It might be a rat coming down from the mountain. I heard a creaking sound last night."

Zhou Dahai: "We need to be more careful and not let that beast eat up all the food."

After dinner that evening, Master Chen began his rocket class as usual. Before his father-in-law could begin, Zhou Dajiang wrote on a piece of paper with a brush: "There are spies behind the house. Everyone, be careful. Classes will continue as usual. After class, Sisi and An Ge'er will hide under the bed."

When everyone saw what he wrote, they didn't dare to ask, but just nodded to show that they understood.

The rented room had a kang (a heated kang) and a bed on the floor, which was more than enough for two children to fit under. Furthermore, there were eight secret guards, so if the spy dared to come in, catching him would be no problem.

After Zhou Dajiang finished his analysis, he placed mousetraps in front of the window, behind the door, and under the window inside the house, hoping to catch the spy in one fell swoop.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, a dark figure came from the back of the house to the front and was about to pry open the window to get in. Suddenly, there was a "bang" and his foot was caught in a mousetrap.

When the black shadow saw that something was wrong, he turned around and was about to run away. In a flash, eight strong men jumped out from the darkness, drew their swords and surrounded him.

The black shadow had a mousetrap on his foot, making it difficult for him to move. Although he struggled a few times with his martial arts skills, he was ultimately outmatched and was eventually captured by Fang Yi and his men.
