She was replaced by a husband, married the future tyrant and farmed to fight back

Chapter 164

After a brief thought, Qin Yiran looked at Blacksmith Feng and said, "Blacksmith Feng, the more I want, the better. Just tell me what tools and manpower you need, and I'll arrange it for you. But I don't want you to tell anyone outside the village about this."

Feng the blacksmith smiled and said, "Lord and Lady Ying are the benefactors of our family. I can't repay them enough. I won't cause any trouble for them."

Feng the blacksmith’s family has inherited the blacksmithing skills from their ancestors. From childhood to adulthood, he has seen all kinds of strange and unusual ironware.

After seeing the samples, he was still surprised.

The small ironware that the Qin family wants to make is not an ordinary item. What does the Qin family want to do?
But thinking that his son's life was in danger, he took the risk.

The Qin family is not afraid, so what is he afraid of?
The most terrible thing would be if my son was gone.

Qin Yiran patted Blacksmith Feng on the shoulder and said, "I believe Blacksmith Feng will help keep it a secret."
-
Liu Yingyue came to the Feng family's residence, arranged for Feng the blacksmith's son to take medicine and do acupuncture, and then returned to her and Qin Yiran's courtyard.

Hongzhu opened the door and said, "Mrs. Ying is back? Mr. Dalang was just asking me to go find you."

"what's up?"

"I don't know." Hongzhu shrugged, "I'll go arrange lunch."

After saying that, she slipped away tactfully.

The couple suddenly became close and suddenly became cold war. Hongzhu couldn't figure out what they were thinking, so she decided to slip away.

Liu Yingyue walked into the main house.

Qin Yiran stood up and walked towards her, "Yingyue is very busy today."

Liu Yingyue knew what he was going to ask. She raised her eyebrows and said in a clever way, "I heard a rumor that there was a war in the north, and someone made a lot of bows and arrows and shipped them to the north to sell. Can our family do this kind of business too? In addition to bows and arrows, we can also make quivers and armor."

Qin Yiran pinched her face, his eyes narrowed, "Yingyue, if you do business like this, you will lose your head if you are found out!"

"The county magistrate is also selling contraband grain to the north. If anyone wants to lose his head, he should be the first to lose it!" Liu Yingyue snorted.

Qin Yiran narrowed his eyes, "How do you know that the county magistrate is reselling private grain?"

"I went to Liujiazhuang early in the morning and overheard Mr. and Mrs. Liu discussing this matter. I guess they heard it from their eldest daughter. Yiran, the county magistrate is not afraid, so what should we be afraid of?" Liu Yingyue made up an excuse.

In fact, she knew the plot, not what she heard from the Liu family.

In the plot, the Qin family also used this incident to drag the county magistrate into the conspiracy, but the county magistrate only wanted to make a small amount of money and did not dare to do anything big. He also wanted to expose the Qin family's affairs.

Of course Qin Yiran couldn't keep the county magistrate, so he filed a complaint and had the county magistrate die in prison.

Afterwards, the Qin family recruited one of their own from the officialdom to serve as the county magistrate.

The new county magistrate supported the Qin family's rebellion behind the scenes.

Later, when the Qin family became successful, they did not forget the new county magistrate's contribution and appointed him as the local prefect. They also promised the new county magistrate's daughter to a prince in the capital.

It can be considered a complete success.

Qin Yiran looked at Liu Yingyue who had an innocent look on her face and said heroic words. For a moment, he could not tell whether she was just a naive girl or had a far-sighted vision and was able to foresee things.

In short, Liu Yingyue was unpredictable to him.

"This matter is very risky. I have to discuss it with my father and grandfather. Don't make any arrangements on your own before we come to a conclusion." Qin Yiran couldn't figure out Liu Yingyue's thoughts, so he had to say this for now.

"Okay, I understand." Liu Yingyue nodded.

She only acts as a matchmaker, and the Qin family will arrange the subsequent developments.
-
Feng the blacksmith settled down in the manor, and Qin Yiran did not immediately arrange for him to forge triangular arrows, but only arranged some odd jobs for him to familiarize himself with the environment. On the other hand, he came to a house in the back mountain to meet Qiu Shuixian.

The house was built differently from those in the village.

There are three ordinary houses in the front yard, but there are many stoves and tall chimneys in the back yard.

Qiu Shuixian was in the backyard, talking to a few people who looked like masters and disciples.

When they saw Qin Yiran coming, they all stood up and greeted him, "Mr. Qin."

"Brother Qin is here? By the way, have you found a skilled blacksmith?" Qiu Shuixian nodded and asked.

"We need quantity and they have to be honest people. I'm afraid it's hard to find them." Shopkeeper Sun, the oldest man among the master and his apprentices, shook his head.

He is also from the market street, but he has been friends with Qin Yiran for many years and is considered one of Qin Yiran's confidants.

"I've found a candidate, but he has some family matters to attend to. I'll bring him to see you in a few days," Qin Yiran said.

"Oh? Who is it?" Shopkeeper Sun asked hurriedly.

There are not many people who can do blacksmithing, only one or two people in each village. Everyone who knows how to do blacksmithing in the surrounding area knows each other.

"Feng De'an from Liujiazhuang is now living in my village. His son has an acute illness and is taking medicine and seeing a doctor. I will bring him to see you when his condition gets a little better." Qin Yiran said.

Qiu Shuixian was surprised. "It turned out to be him? Brother Qin, you are really amazing. You actually hired him! Feng De'an is Mr. Liu's most precious farmhand. He will not be loaned out easily. You actually borrowed him."

Qin Yiran shook his head, "It's not a loan, it's a gift."

This time, both Qiu Shuixian and Shopkeeper Sun were surprised.

"Give it away? Why is Mr. Liu so generous?" Shopkeeper Sun opened his eyes wide.

Qiu Shuixian thought of something and said with a smile, "Isn't it Mr. Liu that Lady Ying is looking for?"

Qin Yiran nodded, "It's her."

A strange emotion flashed in Qiu Shuixian's eyes, but her face was full of admiration. "Madam Ying is really a hidden talent. She looks like an ordinary lady, but I didn't expect her to be so capable. She helped Xiuzhu with her business and bought cotton clothes for Brother Qin. This time, she was even more amazing. She actually asked Mr. Liu to get Feng the blacksmith. She is really amazing."

Shopkeeper Sun also said, "With such a virtuous wife to help him, Mr. Qin will surely accomplish great things."

The two of them took turns praising Liu Yingyue, but Qin Yiran just smiled and said nothing.

Shopkeeper Sun thought he was being modest.

Qiu Shuixian knew Liu Yingyue and understood her temper. Taking a look at Qin Yiran's expression, she thought to herself, doesn't Qin Yiran like others praising his wife?

"By the way, Madam Qiu, are those one thousand sets of cotton coats almost ready?" Qin Yiran changed the subject.

"It can be delivered in two days at the fastest and four days at the slowest," said Qiu Shuixian.

"There are still tens of thousands of cotton clothes to be delivered later, so you need to arrange more people to make them." Qin Yiran said.

Qiu Shuixian looked embarrassed. "I'll try my best to arrange it. A few thousand sets won't be a problem, but tens of thousands sets will take a lot of time."

"You have to arrange the embroiderers, and as for the miscellaneous staff, I can help you find whatever you need." Qin Yiran said.

Qiu Shuixian smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "The people around you have to be busy with other things, so they don't have to get involved with me. Although there are a lot of clothes, I am familiar with the process, so I will arrange it. Brother Qin doesn't have to worry about me."
