It will take some time for the dog days to pass, and Cheng Chu silently calculates that if the days continue like this, he can sell ice for three months just by selling it.

7,000 a day......

Cheng Chumo stared at Li Zheng and said, "Li Zheng, you are going to send it." ”

Li Zheng whispered: "Low-key, low-key, in fact, I'm not that rich, and I don't hide it from you, but my life is not easy." ”

Li Tai looked at Li Zheng sideways, his eyes full of disdain.

With a long sigh, Li Zheng said: "You two don't know, in fact, my life is not easy." ”

Cheng Chumo asked, "Why is it so sad?" ”

Li Zheng cleared his throat and said: "Listen to me in detail, my village is going to build a house, and now I have more than 10,000 people building houses, and I have to pay the wages of more than 10,000 people, and there is also His Royal Highness the King of Wei in my house to eat and drink for nothing." ”

Li Tai: "......"

"Chu Mo, don't you know, the amount of food for His Royal Highness King Wei is really shocking."

After Li Zheng finished speaking, he sobbed and couldn't squeeze out a single tear, "Chu Mo, don't look at my current scenery, if you want to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you may need a lot of money." ”

……

"My father is just one of my sons, and he also pointed to me to pass on the lineage, my family is surrounded by four walls, leaking rain on rainy days, and leaking wind at night."

……

Cheng Chumo comforted Li Zheng and said, "It seems that you are not easy. ”

Li Tai stood up from the pool and made a wave with a bang.

This is the whole world, and Cheng Chumo, this melon instigation, will believe Li Zheng's nonsense.

"If you Li Zheng are still poor, then the whole world will be called Huazi."

Cheng Chumo said: "Li Zheng is indeed quite pitiful, and he is not easy. ”

Okay, Cheng Chumo was still stunned.

Li Yifu rushed to say: "County Marquis, someone wants to buy the secret recipe for making ice, saying that it is to buy it with 100,000 pieces of silver. ”

"Not for sale." Li Zheng immediately vetoed.

Li Yifu nodded, "Let's go and talk back." ”

Li Tai looked curious, "Who?" is so wealthy, and as soon as you make a move, you have to buy a secret recipe for 100,000 yuan. ”

Cheng Chu pondered and said: "It is estimated that it is a powerful person, and it is impossible for anyone to come up with 100,000 yuan in the entire Chang'an. ”

Li Tai also nodded and said to Li Zheng: "You have to be careful, maybe someone with the fifth surname wants to buy the secret recipe, and these people are everywhere." ”

In addition to the powerful people in Chang'an, only the people with the five surnames have such a family background.

The so-called family wealth is 10,000, and it is not great for a family to have 10,000.

What kind of family is 100,000? 、

It must be a big clan, and it has a lot of power.

Li Tai also knew that even his father would not be able to get 100,000 guan now.

It is said that there is no one else with this strength except for the five surnames.

When the villagers learned about this, they immediately guarded the village tightly.

Don't let the strangers disturb the village in case they steal the recipe.

"Zheng'er is earning money with us, and we can't let the secret recipe be taken away by others."

"Yes, no outsiders should be allowed in."

"Take care of the village."

"Remember to tie the dog!"

……

The villagers moved very quickly.

The entrances to the entire village were tightly barred.

Selling ice has indeed made a lot of money for many villagers.

There are more than ten dollars in the account for a sale.

If you have money, you can marry a daughter-in-law for your children.

You can buy books for your children.

"Zheng'er took us and finally made ourselves feel better."

"Don't let those outsiders make trouble."

The old village chief, who was full of authority, instructed the villagers, "No one is allowed to tell the secret recipe for making ice." ”

"That's right! Can't say it! ”

The villagers responded.

There is no need for Li Zheng to speak at all.

In the face of the interests of the whole village, it is easy for everyone to twist into a rope.

Even the refugees who had been taken in earlier were united in their hatred of the outside world.

Life in the village was not easy before.

Even if it is a meal, I am hungry and let my children eat a full meal.

You can't starve your child no matter what.

When you don't have anything to eat, you go to work.

Now Li Zheng has returned from studying in Chang'an.

Life in the village is much better.

Refugees are the ones who feel it the most.

They don't even have shelter from the wind and rain all the time.

Many villages are reluctant to take them in.

There were even people who chased them.

Now it's hard to be contained.

Finally, I don't have to go hungry anymore.

And a home.

Such a day must not be ruined.

Everyone comes from a time when it's not easy.

Whoever gives everyone a good life will live with whomever he wants.

All I want is a place where I can live in peace.

Some outsiders with ulterior motives came to the village and were coaxed out.

Li Zheng stood up lazily from the pool, changed into clean clothes, and soaked like this, and the skin would be wrinkled.

The old village chief came on crutches and said to Li Zheng: "Zheng'er, the whole village has said that the secret recipe will never be leaked out." ”

The secret recipe is actually very simple, put saltpeter in the water and put it in the shade for an hour to condense ice chips.

Sooner or later, such a secret recipe will be known.

But since the whole village has done it.

Li Zheng had no choice but to nod, "Thank you, village chief grandpa." ”

The old village chief smiled and said: "Where did you come from, thank you, Zheng'er is living a good life with the big guy, you must not see outside." ”

Li Zheng came to the construction site to see that the big cow in the distance was organizing manpower, and asked Li Yifu, "How many of us are there now?" ”

Li Yifu fanned himself and said: "County marquis, counting the newcomers, there are a total of 26,000 people, and many villagers have been assigned to take care of things. ”

"It should be a lot faster now."

Li Yifu nodded slightly and said, "There are still a thousand houses left, and more than 20,000 people can build them within a month with their hard work." ”

Sure enough, it still needs crowd tactics.

Sitting on the stone with his chin in his hand, he was worried that the project given by the system was getting bigger and bigger, and he was afraid that it would not be a big project in the direction of hectares in the future.

"Are we going to keep hiring?"

Li Zheng replied decisively: "Zhao, we have plenty of funds, how many we want." ”

Although Li Zheng is rich now, he can earn a lot just by selling ice.

"Xiaguan thinks something is wrong, there are not enough people in the various workshops in Chang'an, I'm afraid that some people will be unconvinced, what should we do if they sue us in court when the time comes?"

Li Zheng sneered: "What are you afraid of, they all came voluntarily, and we didn't force it, they also paid so much money to come to me to dig people." ”

Nowadays, the gap between the rich and the poor in Datang is very large, coupled with the fact that there are too few employed people, resulting in wealth in the hands of most people.

For the powerful, maybe a few times a lot of money is not a lot of money at all.

But for the civilians, the money is always enough to cover their food rations for half a year.

This situation also makes Datang's taxation very uneven.
