Master Wang came in and reported: "After counting the losses, the ordinary people basically have nothing to do, but a few shops on the street were robbed, and the young men who fought with them died eleven and injured more than 50 people." Our own escort suffered more than 300 casualties. "The main casualties of the escort team at the beginning were strict, and the ones who came later were better. During this period of training, the initial results, Zhu Rui scattered more than 300 people who passed the first training and organized them into squads to focus on training, and it seems that the results are not small, especially the single soldier battle, and the two-person cover operation, which played a major role in this city battle. Well, when Liu Changlu and them come back victoriously, write an excerpt and hand it over, if the Han army is so able to fight, it will be the luck of the Han Dynasty.

Sighing, Zhu Rui said: "The casualties of the soldiers According to the previous practice, the casualties of the people will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver each, doubling the comfort of their families, and commending these people who are desperate to protect their homes." As for those merchants, it is impossible to compensate in full, so let's consider each one. "He doesn't have much rice, so now he has to see the bottom, these damn robbers, catch them all and behead them.

Master Wang said again: "The confession of those robbers who were caught is that Yanshan County's recent actions are too big, everyone knows that Yanshan County is now very rich, and under greed, they can't take care of anything, so Quan Cao dispatched to attack Yanshan County." "I thought that Yanshan County was defenseless, grab a vote and leave, but who knew that I met Zhu Rui, a hard bone, and the whole army was wiped out.

"Snorted", Zhu Rui said: "Is Yanshan County under my jurisdiction like a piece of fat?" It really doesn't make sense. Master Wang smiled bitterly: "Hunting geese all day long, almost let the geese peck their eyes, who would have thought that there were thousands of bandits hiding in the small ravine?" ”

On the third day, Liu Changlu came back with people. Unexpectedly, in addition to the more than 300 captives captured, dozens of large boxes were also brought back.

Looking at the dozens of large boxes that filled a living room and shimmered, everyone was dumbfounded. Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, boxes of gold and silver, dazzled everyone's eyes. Zhu Rui pointed to something: "This is all copied from that robber's den?" "Don't blame Zhu Rui for being strange, although he has always advocated fighting to feed war and raid robbers' dens. But those places are very rich, and it is strange that in this poor enough place, a huge amount of property is copied out coldly.

Liu Changlu said: "Lord Wang doesn't know, this group of people is extremely cunning, although they occupy a barren mountain, they never rob nearby, every time they go out hundreds or thousands of miles, they leave after robbing, and they never drag mud and water, so no one finds them." Saying that, he grinned: "Who knew that this time I coveted the property of Yanshan County, and when I met us, I was completely planted." Pointing to these belongings: "The subordinates have registered, there are about 100,000 taels of silver, these robbers deserve to be unlucky, with these silver, the big guys are divided, what is not good?" I have to continue to rob the house. ”

Lin Zimo played with the box of Da Nanzhu in his hand, and said lightly: "This gang of robbers has become a habit, and it is difficult to live an ordinary life. "If we can all pull back from the precipice, there will be no original sin of greed.

Zhu Rui opened a small box and took out a jade bowl to look at: "Yes, this time I will give you a great credit, and I will order you to go down, and the pension of the wounded and wounded sergeants will be doubled, and all the sergeants who participated in the battle will be rewarded." Put down the jade bowl and patted Liu Changlu on the shoulder: "Your bounty is the highest, just give five hundred taels." "You can't want the horses to run, but you can't give the horses grazing, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the sergeants have no worries when there is a war.

Liu Changlu hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him, and then went out to report the good news in a hurry, and after a while, cheers came from outside. Zhu Rui was in a good mood, picked up an inkstone, and handed it to Master Wang: "Only Master can appreciate this kind of good thing, come, take it and use it." Master Wang liked it very much, and took it to thank him.

Although many people were sacrificed, the result this time was not satisfactory. Lin Zimo was really awkward for a few days, killing a person with his own hands, so that he would not have nightmares at night, but he came from a society ruled by law and was accustomed to a peaceful and equal life, and he was a little psychologically unbearable.

Life is slowly on the right track, with a change of environment, coupled with deliberate forgetfulness, Lin Zimo has gradually returned to normal. The farm was successfully built, and even hunting and buying, there were already sheep and rabbits, and even a few fawns. Every time he inspected, Lin Zimo felt a sense of satisfaction, and it was also an achievement to watch the hungry people gradually get refreshed.

Lin Zimo noticed that the Li family had changed a lot, with a slightly plump figure, a round face, and a smile on his face, he was very happy and rich. Seeing Lin Zimo looking at him, he bowed a blessing: "Thank you, son." Lin Zimo immediately understood that Liu's wife was unlucky, and this wife raised her eyebrows. Quietly asked her, "Did you send it away?" Li whispered: "How can it be so easy? After all, she is a relative of her mother-in-law and has a child. However, she is no longer a flat wife, just a concubine, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law are not biased towards her. After a pause, he said: "The little woman has the backing of her son, and she can rest assured that she can earn money to support herself and her children, and the little woman is not afraid of what will happen in the future." ”

Lin Zimo couldn't help but look at it with admiration, not at all like what an ignorant person said: "Sister-in-law Zheng has read before? Li's face flushed: "The little woman's grandfather is a down-and-out talent, and he learned a few words when he was a child. "No wonder I can read so quickly, and I can speak at a certain level. endured it, but in the end she couldn't suppress the will in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "I don't understand that Sister-in-law Zheng is in such an adversity, why do you still swallow her anger?" If you don't get along, find another husband?

Li's face turned pale and lowered his head: "What the son said, why didn't the little woman think about it?" This tone is not so bearable. It is good to say that the little woman withdraws and leaves, the world is so big, there must be a place for her. But the two children's in-laws will definitely not let the little girl take it away, and it falls into the hands of the Liu family, can An Neng have his life? Two tears quietly fell to the ground: "The little woman can't let the two children die for her own well-being, just complain that the little girl's family was blind!" ”

Lin Zimo is silent, divorce is the most harmful to children at any time, even in modern times, there are also many problem children, children who have run away from home. What's more, although it was stipulated in ancient times that women could be separated, they could only take away their dowry, and the children would definitely go to their in-laws' family.

Holding back the discomfort in his heart, Lin Zimo blessed: "I hope Sister-in-law Zheng will be happy for a lifetime." "This strong woman, who pulls her two children in the face of adversity, never complains, and deserves to be treated well.

A few days later, another county official came to nearby Surabaya County, in his twenties, full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm for just entering the officialdom. After greeting him, he said directly: "Han heard Brother Guan of Yishui County say that his subordinates have received the favor of Brother Nian, and now more than half of the people can eat enough. Han was ashamed that he was incapable of benefiting the people, so he specially came to ask Brother Nian for advice, and he would help us in Surabaya County no matter what. ”

After all, Zhu Rui is not an ordinary official, and he has to really think about the country left by his father. had no choice but to invite Master Wang and Lin Zimo. Lin Zimo admires the character of this young county official, he is young, has been in officialdom for a short time, and has the momentum to do things for the people, who knows if he can still maintain it in a few years? Or do you want to become an official oilman?

Master Wang came out and asked about the topography of Surabaya County and the things produced, and Lin Zimo had a number in his heart. Surabaya County, like Yanshan County, has less land and more mountains, and the mountains are rich in sugarcane, but only a few people have the method of turning sugar beets into brown sugar, and sugar cane has not been boiled into brown sugar, which is a big market.

With a plan in his heart, he whispered a few words to Zhu Rui. Zhu Rui nodded, and said to the Han Wen County official: "Brother Han, please go back first, and in two days, Zhu will send someone over to set up a large workshop in Surabaya County to make brown sugar from sugar cane." Han Wen Daxi: "Can sugarcane be boiled into brown sugar?" "I've only heard of beets. Lin Zimo said: "Please rest assured, my family Dong Weng has this recipe in his hand." After receiving the confirmatory news, Han Wen thanked him again and again.

Master Wang was really convinced, and he looked at Lin Zimo with starry eyes: "Wang Jun is a god and a man, and he is a national scholar, which makes my generation of scholars ashamed." While flattering Lin Zimo, he didn't forget to give Zhu Rui a roll of his eyes and silently accuse this bad guy who poisoned talents. Zhu Rui touched his nose helplessly, and said to Lin Zimo: "How sure are you of boiling brown sugar?" Although I have always believed in Lin Zimo's ability, I haven't seen the real thing, and I still don't know the bottom of my heart.

Lin Zimo said: "Sugarcane boiling brown sugar is very simple, you can learn it, and the large output of sugarcane will greatly reduce the price of brown sugar." "As long as it is squeezed into juice, clarified with a simple lime method and then boiled. The price of brown sugar has been high, and many poor families can't even afford it during confinement.

It's a pity that Lin Zimo doesn't know how to separate molasses, and he can't make white sugar, which is embarrassing.

This workshop is indispensable to the shopkeeper of Wuda, so the shopkeeper who has just left is quickly transferred again. The shopkeeper Wu didn't complain, and saw the brown sugar boiled in a small pot under the command of Lin Zimo and laughed: "I have been dominated by those families who boil brown sugar, how much anger have you suffered for that share?" Now Wang Jun has come up with this method and given his subordinates a breath of air! ”

The Wu shopkeeper controls all the business of the south and the north, and all aspects are indispensable to deal with, although he has the signboard of the Jingwang Mansion, but when he encounters this kind of monopoly business, he still has to be careful.

Yiqiē was handed over to the Wu shopkeeper, these businesses are long-term transactions, and they can make money for the emperor and Zhu Rui, even Lin Zimo's small treasury, and now, Lin Zimo can't figure out how much money he has.
