Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow

Hearing Shen Qing's shout, many villagers in the village came to Shen Qing with their own mountain products.

The scene became chaotic.

Shen Qing patted the cart and shouted: "Quiet, line up, come one by one."

An honest villager squeezed to the front and asked suspiciously: "Qingzi, they all said that you don't want to buy on credit this time, and you want to pay in cash. Is it true?"

"Of course it's true." Shen Qing took out some silver from his arms and the big money he had prepared in advance, and piled them on the cart: "Today, I will pay in cash. As long as you have goods, I will accept them."

Shen Qing's voice was loud and far away, falling into the ears of everyone.

Wow!

Many villagers stretched their necks and looked forward.

Seeing Shen Qing take out so much money at once, they looked at each other in surprise.

They couldn't understand it.

More than a month ago, Shen Qing, who was still worried about his livelihood and was still suffering from the oppression of the Chen family, why did he become so rich in the blink of an eye as if he had been reborn?

In the past month, Shen Qing's skills improved and he started hunting without empty-handed. Then he suddenly became ruthless and overthrew Chen Yuan's family.

Later, he learned to read and write, sold mountain products, and practiced martial arts in the city...

In their eyes, every incident was like reading a book from heaven and listening to stories.

They had lived in Hongshan Village for so long, and they had never heard of such a person.

Shen Qing was considered "prosperous".

Most hunters who lived in the mountains for many years had a hard temper and spoke badly, but they also believed in the truth and would obey whoever was stronger.

They still remembered the ruthlessness of Shen Qing when he killed the Chen family not long ago.

They knew Shen Qing was a ruthless person.

Now no one dared to say anything when he got rich. At most, some people thought he was lucky and secretly envied him.

Shen Qing had already made his gesture. After the villagers confirmed that he really had money and was not just talking nonsense, they all dispelled their last concerns and began to sell the mountain products on hand.

Someone came over with a bunch of mountain mushrooms and some coptis chinensis that had just been collected, and put them in front of Shen Qing.

Shen Qing weighed them and bought them at the previous price.

The man was very happy to get the money, and he left with peace of mind when he saw Zhang Shuyuan carefully keeping the account.

The other hunters' families behind saw that someone got the money, and they also came forward one by one to sell mountain products to Shen Qing.

When they got the money, they all smiled happily.

There is no place to spend money in Hongshan Village, but it does not mean that the villagers have no motivation to make money.

In the coming spring, the government will collect forestry tax, adult tax, and leftover women tax from various villages... When it comes to autumn, it will be land tax, various taxes and levies, and money will be required everywhere.

If you can't pay when the county government comes to collect taxes, you will have to dig rivers and repair walls, and do corvée labor. If you don't die, you will lose a layer of skin.

Besides, even if they don't pay taxes, the villagers here will go to the county town to attend the big market from time to time to buy some daily necessities.

So money is very important.

A village woman exchanged some money and asked Shen Qing: "Qingzi, are you going to the county town with anyone this time? Can I go with you?"

The person who spoke was an aunt from the cousin's family. Shen Qing had some impression of her, but she didn't have much contact with her.

"Of course I will bring someone, but I guess you can't go with me." Shen Qing said truthfully: "I have to practice martial arts in the county town this time. I'm afraid I won't come back without seven or eight days."

The aunt in the hall said with some disappointment: "... So, I was hoping to take a ride and give you some fare."

She emphasized the word "money" and tried to make Shen Qing change his mind.

This naturally couldn't fool Shen Qing's eyes.

After living in the village for a period of time, the women in the village were all scheming, and Shen Qing was no longer surprised.

This time he couldn't take anyone else to the county town.

First, there was no room for people to sit on the cart. The cart was so big. After it was filled with mountain products, he, Shen Xiaohu, and Tian Xiaohu were already full. One more person would be too crowded.

Another thing was the trouble.

He went to the county town not just to trade mountain products, but more importantly, to practice martial arts at Linfeng Hall. If he took one person with him, there would be no place to put them.

However, this aunt gave him some inspiration. It was impossible to bring people with him, but he could make money.

Shen Qing felt that he could buy the mountain products. After the villagers got the money, he would make a list for them to help them purchase other supplies in the county town.

There was money to be made on both the trip and the return trip.

As long as the money was flowing, it would become more valuable.

Vaguely, Shen Qing felt that the business of Hongshan Company was gradually taking shape.

Shen Qing smiled and said, "Aunt, do you want to buy something? If you do, I can bring some for you."

"Really? That's great." Aunt Shen said, "I just want to buy a pair of scissors and needles for my family. If you see them, bring some for me."

"No problem, sir, please remember it for me. I will go to the county town to buy later." Shen Qing said to Zhang Shuyuan.

Aunt Shen was immediately very happy.

Seeing this, the others who felt that they still had some money on hand also asked Shen Qing to help them buy in the county town, and even paid a deposit.

Some of the money that had just gone out immediately returned to Shen Qing's hands.

After being busy for about three or four quarters, all the mountain products in the village had been collected and filled a full car.

Shen Qing took the shopping list from Zhang Shuyuan, and took advantage of the good weather in the morning to rush to Taiping County with Tian Xiaohu.

Because he had to teach Tian Xiaohu and Shen Xiaohu how to drive, it took a little time. It took nearly an hour and a half to get there on a normal day.

Fortunately, they set out early and arrived at the gate of the county before noon.

All was well.

After paying the entrance fee as usual, Shen Qing went straight to Wanfeng Building.

The backyard of Wanfeng Building was still very lively, with hunters, vegetable farmers and porters coming in and out.

Only the steward had a new face.

He looked much more decent than Wang Qiyao, and was also younger.

The abacus flew in his hands, and he looked very capable.

Since it was the first time they had dealt with each other, the steward was fair and impartial with them, neither deliberately suppressing too much nor raising the price by a single cent.

A cart of goods was exchanged for thirteen taels of silver.

The silver he got from the mountain products was about 1,300 wen, plus the money he earned this time, he could get two taels of silver.

Very good.

Shen Qing took out two hundred wen of big money, weighed it and considered it for a few times, then walked to the new steward with a smile, lowered his voice and gestured: "What's your name, steward?"

Steward Cai looked down at the hard object handed over by Shen Qing, wiped it with his hand without leaving a trace, and took it skillfully: "Cai Jiasheng."
