Today's Yunmeng County is no longer a personnel company.

The Ning family used great efforts to replace the county order of Yunmeng County with the Ning family's old seven Ning Zhongquan, and the garrison of the flood land was replaced by the Ning family's fourth elder Ning Zhongyi, and the landlords and heroes of the entire Yunmeng County were exclaiming: What medicine did this Ning family take wrong? I don't want to run Hanyang Mansion, but I come to Yunmeng County, where birds don't, to join in the fun.

At this time, the courtyard of the Ning family in Yunmeng County was harmonious, this courtyard was placed before Ning Zhongquan took office, it is said that the previous owner was still a Zhishi Jing official, and the family needed money and emergency affairs, so the annex here was transferred to the Ning family.

Ning Zhongquan was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he originally wanted to continue to take the imperial examination and become a well-known non-commissioned officer, but after all, his talent was limited, and his mentor Xu Yao also said that he would not be able to participate in the Qionglin banquet, so there was no need to force it.

Now that the Ning family has donated a county order to him, Ning Zhongquan is also quite happy in his heart, so he honestly brought this Yunmeng County from Gucheng County to be his Qipin County master.

At this time, Ning Yu also went to the Ning family's courtyard to visit the seventh uncle Ning Zhongquan, and at the same time, the sixth uncle Ning Zhonghai was also on the side.

Now that the two of them know what Ning Yu has done, they don't underestimate this talented nephew, and their words are quite warm, after all, no matter from which point of view, this Ning Yu will also be the well-known patriarch of the Ning clan in the future.

Ning Zhongquan looked at the beautiful maid in this mansion, and couldn't help but say proudly: "But the way is 'Rich families don't need to buy good land, there are thousands of bells in the book.'" There is no need to erect tall buildings to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book. Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book. 'This thousand bells and this golden house, I am not very rare, but this Yan Ruyu, but I can't give it up, this reading is really good, wonderful. ”

Ning Yu was a little tired when he heard this, and it was not easy to refute it directly, so he reminded: "Seventh Uncle, whether it is this Yan Ruyu or this Golden House, it is not something you can get just by reading. ”

Ning Zhongquan was greatly unconvinced, and pouted: "Where did my nephew's words come from?" Why didn't my Yan Ruyu come from the book? ”

Ning Yu was also not polite, and said: "Seventh Uncle can know that this ordinary person is just a small Jiaoyu, I am afraid that I will not be able to take a step forward if I break my backbone, where does Yan Ruyu come from?" But even if you get the Jinshi, if you choose to go down in the Hanlin Academy, after ten years of hard work, I am afraid that it will be difficult for even the family to support, where will the golden house come from? ”

Ning Zhongquan couldn't save face, so he relied on his identity as an elder and said: "Nephew, it is said that you also had a child before, but now you are so ignorant of what is going on?" ”

"I don't know what happens to you!" Before Ning Yu could speak, a rough voice came from outside the door, and then walked through the moon gate.

Seeing this person, everyone in the courtyard stood up and saluted, but it was Ning Zhongyi, the fourth elder of the Ning family, who arrived.

Ning Zhongquan was a little stupid, and said with a feigned smile: "Fourth brother, why are you free to come over today?"

Ning Zhongyi was stout and dressed in cotton armor, but he looked burly and powerful, he glanced at Ning Zhongquan, and then looked at Ning Yu again, but there was obvious appreciation in his eyes.

"Lao Qi, you don't know that you are a rotten Confucian, the reason why this Ning family has today is because of reading? What can you get from those broken books? I see you're really blinded by reading. ”

These words were extremely serious, making Ning Zhongquan's white face appear red, like a red cloth.

Ning Zhongyi sighed and said: "Since my father left, the eldest brother left early, if it wasn't for the second brother who took the military position and made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, how could this Ning family have such a boom today?" ”

The history of the Ning family can be described as indescribable, in the early years, the Taizu of the Ning family was the Huguang Ming Army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and later descended to the Qing Dynasty with Shangguan, because the follow-up combat was not very effective, so he did not make great contributions, and he was only a general until he died.

Later, after the ancestor of the Ning family went, Ning Zhongde, the son of the Ning family, was in poor health since he was a child, and died early after a few years.

Among the brothers of the Ning family, the fourth Ning Zhongyi admired the second brother the most, so he also joined the army early, and he had been in the green camp for many years, and he also got a garrison officer.

Ning Zhongyi looked at everyone and said, "The eldest nephew has done a good job, since I have come to Yunmeng County, I am escorting the eldest nephew, and my Ning family has a foundation, but don't lose it in the hands of our brothers!" ”

Ning Zhonghai hugged his fists and said: "Fourth brother, what you are saying is that the mineral salt of Yunmeng County will be the foundation of my Ning family's prosperity in the future, even if I Ning Zhonghai die, I will not embarrass our Ning family!" ”

Seeing everyone's statement like this, Ning Zhongquan also sneered and said: "Fourth brother, sixth brother, didn't I forget my form once and for a while, this Yunmeng official matter will be my seventh brother's territory in the future, so it is naturally foolproof!" ”

Ning Yu Zhengse said: "A few uncles, their own family members don't talk to each other, and now how to carry out this mineral salt, we still need to discuss a countermeasure together." ”

Ning Zhonghai has been promoting the progress of this matter, and he knows the situation best, so he took the lead in speaking: "Now there are more than 300 young people who collect mineral salt, all of whom are the old foundation of my Ning family for many years, and they are reliable and reliable to use, but these people are dragging their families, and the old and young add up to more than 1,000 people, and I am worried about the livelihood of these people." ”

Ning Zhongquan said tentatively: "If the young and strong are left behind, how about sending the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled back to the old house in Xiaogan?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present frowned slightly, but Ning Zhonghai and Ning Zhongyi didn't understand civil affairs, and they couldn't think of some good solutions in this regard, so they were silent and looked at Ning Yu at the same time.

Ning Yu smiled bitterly: "It's easy to send this person back, but it's not appropriate, it is easy to affect the fighting spirit of the people who stay." After all, they are loyal to my Ning family, and now let them abandon their family and business, but it chills everyone's hearts. ”

Ning Zhongquan thought about it carefully, so he had no choice but to ask, "Then the eldest nephew, do you have a good plan?" ”

Ning Yu thought for a moment and said, "Among these people, if they are children between the ages of eight and thirteen, they can be sent to my young eagle camp, and if they are old people, women and children, they can be organized into a logistics camp, responsible for washing and cooking for the workers every day, so it is the best of both worlds." ”

As soon as they heard that this method was indeed good, they decided to act according to the plan.

Seeing that this matter was over, Ning Zhonghai said again: "With these more than 300 people, plus some masters in some salt mines I have collected, you can start mining brine and burning salt, don't worry about this, you can lay six salt wells in the first month, and you can burn 100 stones of salt in the second month, and then put them on the market, and then you can make dozens of times the profit!" ”

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes became more and more hot, and this opportunity to make a fortune is really rare.
