Late Qing Dynasty Executioner

Chapter 55 Jiangjin will have a marshal in the future
Chen Qi and the other two yamen runners were stunned at the same time after listening to Chen Gu's nonsense, and then they all burst into laughter with their hands on their stomachs.

“Hahahaha~!”

The laughter of the three people was very exaggerated, which aroused dissatisfaction among the people around them, especially the white snake on the stage, which glared at this side several times with its eyes bulging.

"Haha!" Chen Qi laughed for a long time before stopping, but he still couldn't help himself. He pointed at Chen Gu and laughed, "You have studied with my old man for so long, but you can actually learn to speak like this. It's really rare."

"This doesn't seem like a big deal, does it?" Chen Gu thought for a moment and said seriously, "I'm just telling the truth!"

"Hey, that's not bad, but your serious nonsense is really funny. Well, let's go. Since you don't like watching plays, let's go to the blacksmith shop!"

Chen Qi stood up and walked out, and the other two yamen runners also stood up and followed him. Chen Gu was stunned. After picking up the teacup and taking a sip, he looked at the counter, considering whether to go over to pay the bill.

"Let's go, no need to look, we all pay monthly for tea here!"

Chen Qi's voice came from the door. Chen Qi quickened his pace and followed him. After he left the door, he said with a smile, "I'm sorry for letting you spend money. After this, I'll treat you and the two brothers to a drink!"

"It's not a big expense. All the shops in South City, big or small, no matter what business they do, have to pay us monthly wages. Drinking a cup of tea from him means we respect him, and saying we're on credit is just to give him face and tell others, but it doesn't mean we have to spend any money!" Chen Qi said with a smile.

In fact, Chen Ke also understood that every era has its own unique order. Chen Ke does not have the ability to destroy the original order, let alone establish a new order.

Build a strong camp, fight a stupid battle, and face all kinds of challenges with an upright army.

Chen Gu's life is boring and he rarely communicates with the outside world. He really doesn't know about these things, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care because it's not his turn to care.

There was a knocking sound. Chen Gu was thinking about something and unknowingly followed Chen Qi to the blacksmith shop.

For example, developing the hard power of the village, increasing land and manpower.

Fortunately, opium was also strictly prohibited by Jiaqing, so the Bai family compromised. Otherwise, Chen Gu would definitely be in big trouble. He didn't realize that the things he thought were secret were actually leaked everywhere.

“Ding ding dong dong~!”

A large clan that has been able to exist for hundreds of years has very thorough control over its own territory. The fights between these people are actually rarely based on any conspiracy, but more of a contest of strength, and everything they do can be said to be an open conspiracy.

A conversation with Bai Wencheng made Chen Gu think of many things. Although there were still many things he couldn't figure out, or there was no solution, Chen Gu still made some changes.

If Chen Gu did not hate opium, he would not have taken action against the Bai family, and naturally he would not have taken action against Addis who came to Jiangjin to ask for opium.

"This blacksmith Nie is the best blacksmith in the entire Jiangjin County. Just tell him what you need!" Chen Qi said, pointing to the blacksmith shop in front of him.

"The surname Nie?" Chen Gu looked at the blacksmith shop in front of him in surprise. There was indeed someone with the surname Nie in Jiangjin, and he was quite famous, the Marshal!

Chen Qi was in the army and was the marshal of his own county, so he was naturally more sensitive to this surname. "What's wrong with the surname Nie?" Chen Qi asked in surprise.

"No, I'm just a little surprised!"

"There are many people with the last name Nie, right?" Chen Qi shook his head and entered the blacksmith shop first. "Old Nie, I brought you business. How do you thank me?"

"Thank you so much, I never give kickbacks, and the products are not cheap. If you are willing to do it, do it. If not, get out!"

A man in his thirties or forties, bare-chested, was waving a small hammer and continuously hitting a piece of iron, speaking without raising his head.

A boy of about fourteen or fifteen was pulling the bellows with all his might. Several red-hot iron sheets were placed on top of the coal that was emitting a green flame.

This blacksmith shop is not big and there are only two people working there, but it is kept quite clean. The iron blocks on the ground and the ironware on the walls and chopping boards are all neatly stacked.

"Your temper is still so bad. No wonder you can't make any money no matter how good your skills are!" Chen Qi said with a sneer.

"Although I don't make much money, I feel at ease!" Old Nie continued to hammer the iron sheet until it was formed and then put into water for annealing, then he stopped.

After taking a look at Chen Gu and the others, Old Nie picked up the clay pot beside him and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water. He then asked Chen Gu, "What do you want to hit?"

"It's like this. I want to reclaim the cobblestone land, but using a hoe will cause too much damage, and using a pickaxe won't dig up the soil. So I thought of trying a two-tooth hoe. This way I can reduce the damage and ensure that the soil can be dug up." Chen Gu explained.

Hearing this, Old Nie couldn't help but look at Chen Gu seriously for a while, nodded and said, "Although I don't know if you will succeed, your idea is quite good. Do you have any specific size or style requirements?"

"Yes!" Chen Gu nodded and explained, "The entire two-tooth hoe needs to be eight inches long and four inches wide at the top. The tip of the hoe needs to be shrunk a bit, about three and a half inches.

The tip of the hoe is slightly curved inward by five points, and the teeth are as thick as the big toe and shrink to the tip of the hoe as thick as the thumb. This is generally the case. Of course, you are actually an expert in this area, and you can make some adjustments if you think it is not right. "

Old Nie thought for a moment and said, "Your idea is good, there's nothing wrong with it. If there's anything wrong, we can only find it out by typing it out and trying it out.

According to your requirements, it will cost 150 coins to make a two-tooth hoe like this. Even if there are some adjustments, it will be about this price. When the product is ready and the final shape is finalized, if you want more, it will cost at least 130 coins per piece."

This price was within Chen Gu's expectations, and it was a relatively low price, so Chen Gu agreed without hesitation and nodded, "Okay, I'll follow your price. Master Nie is a fair man!"

"Haha, there are still wise people in this world!" Old Nie said as he glanced at Chen Qi, then took a four or five jin iron block and threw it into the furnace, and said to Chen Gu, "Come back in half an hour to get it."

"Okay, let's come back in half an hour!" Chen Gu nodded, then left the blacksmith shop with Chen Qi and the others.

The temperature inside the blacksmith shop was quite high. After being inside for a while, Chen Gu was sweating. When he walked outside, he immediately felt much cooler. "Brother, if you have nothing to do, I will buy you a drink!"
