Chapter 31 - Nine Hundred Wen

 "Official, you still remember us."

  "Is there anything I can help you with?" asked Liu Tie respectfully.

  Qin Feng also remembered that on the day he sent the tiger over, it seemed to be this bailiff who took over.

  "It really is you guys."

  The bailiff looked very happy.

  Afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, Qin Feng did not bring a crossbow with him to the county office.

  The bailiff almost didn't recognize them just now, so he only asked tentatively.

  The last time he went to the inn with the Qing family's noble, he was a step late. The archer who killed the tiger had already checked out and left.

  During this period of time, the benefactor had sent people to ask twice. It was obvious that he was very concerned about this tiger hero.

  Although the noble was down and out, he was still a thigh worth clinging to as a bailiff.

  If he could help the noble find the person, he could at least get a sum of money.

  If the noble was happy and promoted his official position, that would be even better.

  The bailiffs had planned to go to the various villages to look for them, but unfortunately, there were too many refugees recently and they really could not find the time.

  He did not expect to meet her here.

  This time, the matter entrusted by the noble person had been settled.

  "Did you kill the tiger?"

  The bailiff looked at Liu Tie and asked.

  "I don't have that ability. It was Feng Zi who shot him."

  Liu Tie pointed at Qin Feng.

  "Him?"

  "Don't lie to me!" The bailiff looked at Qin Feng in surprise.

  In his opinion, the person who killed the tiger would definitely be a burly man. Qin Feng was thin and weak. No matter how he looked at it, he did not look like someone who could kill a tiger.

  "Sir, why would I lie to you?"

  "When Feng Zi shot the tiger, dozens of people in the village were watching," said Liu Tie.

  "You really can't judge a book by its cover!"

  The bailiff cupped his hands towards Qin Feng and praised.

  "You flatter me."

  Qin Feng bowed slightly and gave a scholar's salute. However, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, Is there something wrong with my appearance?

  He could tell that the bailiff's original intention was to praise him, but he just didn't know how to use words.

  Hero, are you a scholar?"

  When the bailiffs saw Qin Feng's scholar bow, they were even happier.

  His tone had also become much friendlier than before.

  There were very few scholars in Great Kang, and there were even fewer scholars who could kill tigers.

  This was the standard of being skilled in both literature and martial arts.

  He heard that the noble was also a person who was skilled in both literature and martial arts. If he knew this news, he would definitely be even happier.

  "I studied for a few years."

   Qin Feng did not deny the fact that he could easily find out about it by asking around in Haijiao Village. He nodded and asked," Sir, I haven't asked. Is there anything you need from us?"

  "The noble of Qingfeng Courtyard bought the tiger you killed. He admires the man who killed the tiger and wants to meet him. However, you left too early last time. By the time we went to the inn, you had already left."

  The bailiff said with a smile.

  "A noble from Qingfeng Courtyard?"

  Qin Feng looked at Liu Tie in puzzlement.

  Liu Tie also had a puzzled expression. It seemed like he didn't know what Qingfeng Courtyard was.

  "Heroes don't know. The noble of Qingfeng Courtyard is a Marquis and a Great General. He likes to befriend capable heroes the most."

  "A hero who is skilled in both martial arts and martial arts. His future will be boundless if he follows Lord Marquis." The bailiff cupped his hands at Qin Feng.

  Regardless of what would happen to Qin Feng in the future, it was always right to say something good first.

  If this scholar became rich in the future, it could be considered a good karma.

  When Qin Feng heard this, he could not help frowning slightly.

  If it was possible, he really didn't want to have any interactions with some bullshit Marquis.

  There were no human rights in the feudal era, and many nobles did not treat the common people as humans.

  The highest-ranking officers of the prefecture cities were called Mu or something, such as Zhao Prefecture Mu and Yong Prefecture Mu, which meant that they were herding the people on behalf of the emperor.

  The herdsmen here didn't refer to the people who grazed, but to the people who were treated like cattle and sheep. The officials were the people who grazed for the emperor.

  In ancient times, for the sake of unity or for the so-called purity of blood, many nobles married close relatives.

  There were also many idiots and perverts born like this.

  At the moment, he was still a worthless poor scholar. It would be fine if the other party was reasonable. What if an unreasonable pervert killed him without a word?

  It was better to hide from such a person.

  "May I ask when Lord Marquis will summon us?" Liu Tie asked excitedly.

  In his understanding, Lord Marquis was like a celestial being.

  Heavens, the legendary figure wanted to see him?

  "Lord Marquis has gone hunting at Mount Wulang. He's only been gone for two days, so he'll probably only be back in half a month."

  "Where do you live?" the bailiff asked. Lord Marquis has returned. I'll immediately inform you."

  "We just came to the county government and haven't had the time to find a place to stay."

  Qin Feng shook his head.

  The bailiff wanted to ask more questions, but a manservant ran out of the county office." Constable Zhang, why haven't you gone in yet? Master and Grand Master are waiting anxiously."

  "Coming, coming."

  "Please wait here for a moment. I'll be right back." The bailiff said to Qin Feng.

  Before he could finish speaking, he was dragged into the yamen by the servant.

  Qin Feng turned around and left after seeing the bailiff and the manservant turn around the corner.

  "Feng Zi, where are you going?"

  "Aren't you waiting for the official?" Liu Tie asked anxiously.

  "What for?"

  "Wait for him to introduce us to Lord Marquis! Feng Zi, this is a good opportunity to reach the heavens in one step!"

  "Not interested."

  Qin Feng walked even faster.

  "You!"

  Liu Tie realized that Qin Feng had already walked far away. He stomped his feet and could only follow.

  When they arrived at the agreed place, Tang Dongdong had already sold all the hemp thread. The shop assistant was loading bundles of hemp skin onto the cart.

  Tang Dongdong carried a heavy bag in his hand, while Chen Laoliu and Zhang Liang carried crossbows and looked around vigilantly.

  "How much did you sell it for?"

  Qin Feng asked Tang Dongdong.

  "2,300 wen."

  Tang Dongdong patted the money bag excitedly." I've calculated it. Other than the cost of buying hemp skin, wages, and food and drinks, we can earn more than 900 wen."

  "Not bad."

  Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction.

  With more than twenty spinning wheels, he could be considered to have completely solved the problem of food and clothing.

  He could earn at least four thousand copper coins a month, which was four taels of silver. He could live a good life in Great Kang.

  "Not bad?"

  Tang Dongdong was very dissatisfied with Qin Feng's reaction." If other workshops wanted to earn 900 wen with 20 spinning wheels, they would need at least a month to do it day and night. But we only used six days to earn it. We earned five times faster than them.

  If the other workshops knew about this, they would definitely go crazy."

  " Trust me, once Xiao Bei and the others get used to the spinning wheel, they'll be even faster."

  Qin Feng said confidently.

  The women had never used a pedal-type spinning wheel before, so they were still not used to it. At present, they were still in the familiarizing period.

  When they were all familiar with it, their spinning speed would definitely increase a little.

  In fact, he could have made a more advanced and faster spinning wheel and made money faster, but Tang Dongdong refused to agree no matter what.

  Qin Feng thought for a moment and gave up on this idea.
