He jumped off the carriage and looked at the group of disheveled and disheveled prisoners. Their images gradually overlapped with the memories in his mind.

When he was running a copper and iron shop in Dai County, these mountain people cooperated with him to mine ore deposits in the deep mountains and smelt them into copper and iron under his guidance.

I didn't expect to meet you here today!

"You guys actually know me?"

The corner of Chen Qing's mouth twitched into a playful smile, pretending that he didn't know each other.

"I know it! I know it!"

"Chen Dongjia, you also taught me how to make a bellows."

"Since you were arrested by the government, I fled in all directions. But no one provided daily necessities, so I had to go down the mountain to buy, and then one after another..."

Hundreds of prisoners gathered around and looked at Chen Qing in a daze.

Wasn't he arrested by the government?

I heard that the crime of treason was still charged.

How……

Become a high official of the court!

Chapter 144 Accidentally Entered the Great Qin Hundred Rich List

"It turned out to be you savages."

Chen Qing said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, I met you and others in Xianyang. It can be regarded as meeting an old friend in a foreign land."

"Come on, untie them."

The guarded soldier hesitated and said: "Young Master Chen, these are all prisoners newly sent by the local government. If they are missing, it is not easy to explain to the superior."

Chen Qing said bluntly: "I will go and explain to Zhang Han, you just need to untie it."

"promise."

The soldiers did not dare to disobey his order, and quickly stepped forward to untie the tied hemp rope.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

"Chen Dong's family has great kindness and great virtue, and a villain will never repay it."

"Thank you sir for saving my life."

A large group of people knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Qing.

"I still have something important to do, so let's go away."

Chen Qing impatiently climbed on the shaft of the car, ready to board the car.

"Chen Dong's family will wait a moment."

Everyone panicked when they saw it, and quickly knelt around the chariot.

The horse snorted uneasily, pawing the ground with its front hooves from time to time.

"Chen Dongjia, saving me like this is no different from killing me."

"Yes, please save people to the end."

"I am a person in the mountains, and I am not in the registration book. Even if you let us go, we will be arrested again if we can't go ten miles or eight miles away."

"The little one implores the adults to take it in, and I will repay it by doing a good job."

The savages begged one after another.

Things change and stars move, time changes and the world changes.

At the beginning, Chen Qing was just an unscrupulous businessman in Dai County, colluding with them to smuggle copper and iron.

Now they have become high officials of the imperial court, but they have become prisoners of their ranks.

Seeing such thick thighs, if you don't know how to hug them, you're really out of your mind.

"Are you kidding me?"

Chen Qing turned around and said disdainfully: "Across the mountains and fields without restraint, wouldn't it be better than being a cow or a horse under my official's hands?"

The two sides have dealt with each other for several years before, and he is very familiar with the virtues of wildlings.

The household registration control of the Qin Dynasty was strict, and it seemed that a small number of savages like them who were not registered were people who had fled to the mountains during the Warring States Period.

Such people can be regarded as good people, and they rarely commit crimes.

Most of them couldn't pay the taxes or evaded the corvee, so they fled spontaneously and became the people of the mountains.

Because the sitting system is prevalent, most of those who dare to run have no parents, no siblings, and are not afraid of hurting their relatives.

If there are rich products in the mountains, it is good to be able to cultivate and eat.

If they were hungry, the savages would immediately turn into bandits and thieves.

Compared with the peaceful and honest common people, Chen Qing has a strong guard against them.

"My lord, it's better to be an ox or a horse under your command than to be a savage."

"Just accept us."

"Chen Dong's family, for the sake of old love, please accept us."

The savages bowed again and again, begging earnestly.

"This……"

"I have a lot of talents under my command, it seems that you are so useless, and it is not easy to arrange a place to go."

"If you really want to take refuge, I will arrange a slavery for you first. How about staying here?"

As soon as Chen Qing finished speaking, the savages were all stunned.

slavery?

They flattered Chen Qing desperately, thinking that they could cling to the powerful in exchange for a promotion.

Never expected that the other party would arrange for them to be slaves!

"It seems that you are unwilling."

"Alright, save me the trouble."

Chen Qing clapped his hands, ready to get in the car and leave.

"Adults wait a moment, the little ones are willing to be slaves."

cried a younger wildling.

"The little ones are willing to be slaves."

"My lord, I am willing."

"Don't go, my little one is willing."

cried the Wildlings eagerly.

Chen Qing smiled with satisfaction.

Just be willing to be a slave.

When I ran a copper and iron shop back then, I was often troubled by these savages.

Today the mine caved in and killed and injured people, so I asked him for compensation.

Tomorrow, on the pretext of exchanging salt with insufficient quality, they clamored for a price increase.

Anyway, something can always come up.

Obviously, it was Chen Qing who contributed money, effort and technology, and paid the most.

However, in order to maintain the trade relationship between the two sides, many times they had to let it go, and suffered a lot of injustice.

You volunteered to be my slaves today, don't blame me for being small-minded!

"Come with me."

Chen Qing went to Zhang Han's camp and asked the kitchen to make meals for the wild people.

Just in time for the meal, a large bowl of corn porridge and barley rice was brought out.

There was no need for any side dishes, and the savages gathered in groups in front of the clay pots, grabbing the hot rice with their hands and devouring it hungrily.

There is no need for a bowl for a pot of corn porridge, and the pot is poured into the mouth in turn.

Chen Qing shook his head with emotion.

The savages are used to being free and undisciplined, and it is not something that can be done overnight to make them obedient and obedient.

But right now there is one thing that happens to be of use to them.

To survive in the harsh conditions of deep mountains and wild forests, identifying herbs and minerals are indispensable skills.

In addition, Chen Qing imparted some knowledge to later generations, and many of them have extremely good ore prospecting skills.

Lei Huosi's location is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so there may be some minerals hidden there.

It was perfectly fitting to send them to look for it.

After a full meal, the savages rubbed their stomachs contentedly, and found a place to lie down and bask in the sun.

After thousands of miles from Daijun to Xianyang, many people were exhausted.

Some were inappropriate, so they simply took off the straw apron, sat cross-legged and picked up the lice around the birds.

In broad daylight, there are countless topless people.

Chen Qing was very disdainful, and ordered the soldiers to take care of them, and went straight to Zhang Han's camp.

"Young Master Zhang, please stay safe."

As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and saluted.

"Young Master Chen."

"Your Majesty ordered you to be in charge of the Lei Huo Division, but you are overstepping the law by releasing the prisoner who will be the Shaofu privately."

Zhang Han was sitting upright, with a bad expression on his face and asked.

"Of course I won't embarrass you."

"There are more than a hundred people in the district, and I will replenish you in a few days."

"Today, I have a big deal to discuss with you."

"I don't know if Zhang Shaofu is interested?"

Chen Qing went straight to the point and explained his intention.

Zhang Han shook his head resolutely: "You don't need to say too much. My jurisdiction belongs to the imperial court. How can I give it to you privately? As for me personally, I have nothing to talk to you about."

"Ah!"

"Zhang Han, I think your scar is healed and you forget the pain."

"The secret agents of the Black Ice Terrace are right outside the door, as long as I speak louder, those good things you did..."

Chen Qing stepped on the desk and threatened viciously.

"Young Master Chen, you have something to say."

"The official didn't say no."

Zhang Han originally planned to show his strength in front of Chen Qing, reminding him that he was not at his mercy.

But after hearing this, his tone softened immediately.

"Can we talk?"

"We can talk, please sit down."

Zhang Han stood up with a flattering smile.

Chen Qing snorted coldly, and sat down across from him carelessly.

"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do."
