People of later generations like to use dirty Tang and stinky men to describe the two great eras of the Han and Tang dynasties.

But for this kind of person, Chen Zhengtai can only hehe.

It seems that as long as the women do not wrap their little feet and do not start from the beginning, it will become a dirty and smelly thing.

At least...... It's good now, Chen Zhengtai led Princess Sui'an to Erpigou.

It's still a barren place, only because of salt refining, so a grass house has been built next to this large salt pond.

For mass production, craftsmen erected a chimney.

Most of the backbones here are the Chen family, and the Chen family is too large, there are rich and poor, and the poor are organized.

Chen Zhengtai asked people to divide salt refining into several processes, and everyone only needs to bury their heads in their own processes, and try their best not to spread the secret recipe of salt refining.

Of course...... It may be a matter of time before the rumor is spread, but as long as the time drags on long enough, then the Chen family can use the advantage of being the first mover to make it impossible for those who come after to catch up.

The fourth uncle, Chen Jiyong, came with an honest face: "Zhengtai, the new workshop has been set up in Dongtou, and the newly recruited people are also here, the price is very low, and they are willing to come to work if they give a few steamed cakes." ”

So cheap...... Chen Zhengtai looked surprised.

"I'll take a look."

In an empty shed, hundreds of ragged people crouched, each huddled in a corner.

When Princess Sui'an saw them, she couldn't help frowning, obviously ...... There is something strange about the taste here.

Chen Zhengtai: "......"

Dare to love this is a group of 'beggars'.

Chen Zhengtai lowered his head and looked at a 'little beggar' at his feet.

"What's your name?"

The unkempt little beggar wiped his nose, his nose brushing against his torn trousers, but his eyes were blank and he did not respond.

That's what you're all about?

Chen Zhengtai had a straight face: "What about you, what's your name?" ”

After a short silence, the little beggar said in a strange accent: "The surname is Deng." ”

Chen Zhengtai: "......"

"My son asks for your name."

The little beggar was envious and confused in his eyes, as if with his IQ, it was difficult to understand how to deal with it, so he said: "The surname is Deng." ”

Chen Zhengtai gritted his teeth and made a gesture to beat him Liwei: "Name." ”

"Oh, oh, I see." The little beggar hurriedly held his head, squatted on the ground, and shouted, "My name is Deng Jian." ”

Communicate...... It's a lot of work.

Chen Zhengtai couldn't understand what it would be like for a person to be mentally retarded.

"Where do you live?"

Deng Jian thought for a long time before stammering: "Walk east from here for a while, cross the stream, and then go all the way to the right, and you can see my house." ”

Chen Zhengtai: "......"

He sighed, only to realize that in this world, the difference between people and people has reached the point where it is like two species.

Chen Zhengtai's mind was very complicated, looking at the 'beggars' everywhere, squatting one by one, hanging his head, holding his feet, and only having a muddy nightmare in his eyes.

He came out of the shed, and his face was gloomy and silent.

Princess Sui'an said, "Why are they so stupid? ”

"These are the people." Chen Zhengtai said with emotion: "That is, the 'people' that the teacher always talks about in his mouth." ”

Princess Sui'an frowned: "Min? ”

"It's like the words that the teacher often puts on his lips, called: The monarch, the boat also; The common people, the water also; Water can carry a boat, or it can capsize a boat. And they ...... It's the water of my Datang. ”

Chen Zhengtai felt heavy in his heart, it was difficult to see such a scene in Chang'an City, but when he came out of Chang'an, it was a different scene.

Princess Sui'an was surprised and said, "Ah, did my father say such a thing?" ”

Chen Zhengtai suddenly woke up, touched his nose, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, I actually forgot, now I said this." ”

"It turned out that the senior brother said it." Princess Sui'an pondered this sentence in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh: "Senior brother is really powerful. ”

Chen Zhengtai looked left and right with a little weakness, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about these words, keep a low profile." ”

When Princess Sui'an heard this, she couldn't help but be speechless, shaking her head and looking left and right, to make sure that there was no one, she let out a sigh of relief, and said very seriously: "I understand!" ”

……

At noon, Chen Zhengtai and Princess Sui'an, under the arrangement of the fourth uncle Chen Jiyong, reluctantly ate a not very rich lunch, and inevitably explained some more things to the fourth uncle about expanding production.

Chen Jiyong is an honest man and writes down very carefully.

As soon as the meal was finished, I saw a Chen family member coming in a panic: "Oh no, no, there is a hired worker who is going to escape." ”

Chen Jiyong's face sank: "Bastard, just ran away after eating our Chen family's meal, should this be a dining hall?" Give me chase. ”

Chickens and dogs jumped in the workshop, some people even brought wolf dogs, Chen Zhengtai and Princess Sui'an came out of the workshop, and saw a thin body on the snowflake-like salt pond in the distance, and everyone picked up the guy and pressed him to the ground to beat.

The man was beaten and screamed and wept.

Chen Zhengtai had no choice but to go forward with Princess Sui'an, this unkempt man was covered with blood, his face was up, and he was as frightened and frightened as a frightened bird, Chen Zhengtai fixed his eyes and looked, isn't this that Deng Jian?

This dog thing, rubbing the meal and running away, although the miserable appearance is worthy of sympathy, but the Chen family does not open a dining hall.

Chen Zhengtai gritted his teeth and said, "What are you running?" ”

"I ...... I want to go home. Deng Jian sobbed as he wiped his swollen eyes.

"What do you do when you go home? You are here to work. ”

"But my dad is going to the ground."

Chen Zhengtai: "......"

Deng Jian howled and cried: "My father wants to go to the ground ......"

Again, he emphasized.

There were more and more people gathering, so that Chen Zhengtai faced Deng Jian, and the sympathy in his heart gradually disappeared.

If you are too weak, you will not be able to deter these people.

"What does this have to do with your father?"

"My dad is waiting for my clothes...... He's going to work in the field......"

“……”

Deng Jian continued to sob: "If I don't go back, he will have no clothes to wear, and he won't be able to get off the ground." My father said that he would have to go back when the sun went up, or he would smoke me. ”

Chen Zhengtai could barely understand: "You and your father wear a pair of pants?" ”

looked down, and sure enough, what Deng Jian was wearing was extraordinarily fat breeches......

Deng Jian snorted, and his greasy hand rubbed the fat pants with a familiar way.

Chen Zhengtai: "......"

With a long sigh, he looked at the other people who had caught up, and the newly recruited hired workers didn't seem to be in much better condition than Deng Jian.

Chen Zhengtai looked back at his fourth uncle Chen Jiyong: "Explain it, every employee will make a new dress...... Hurry up and ......"

Chen Jiyong hesitated for a moment, but still swallowed back what he wanted to say and nodded.

Deng Jian listened...... Stunned......

Myself...... I've got new clothes to wear.

As a matter of fact...... He had no idea about new clothes.

That thing...... It seems that it only appears when his mother talks about his marriage.

He froze, not making a sound.

Chen Zhengtai couldn't see this kind of poor person the most, and he couldn't help but want to scold in his heart, this son is here to make money, not to do good deeds.

So he hurriedly led Princess Sui'an and chose the road to go.

Deng Jian was stunned in place, lying on the ground like a dog, and waited for Chen Zhengtai to walk away before he reacted, and suddenly ...... Tears burst out of his red and swollen eyes that were beaten, and then he was busy kowtowing like pounding garlic, and shouted: "Gongzi Xie gives clothes, Gongzi Xie gives clothes, I will be a cow and a horse in this life, and a cow will be a horse." ”

His head slammed against the cold salt stone on the ground, and the red blood stained the crystal salt stone red.

……

Chen Zhengtai vaguely heard Deng Jian's words, his heart twitched, he didn't know what to say, and after a long time, he whispered: "This group of guys who just want to cheat and cheat...... Hey......"

Although it was scolding in his mouth, he unconsciously bred a warm current in his heart.

It's going to fall...

....

The tiger is thin-skinned, and every time he urges readers to support, he feels very embarrassed, and sure enough, as an author, the moral level is inversely proportional to the popularity of the book..

Deserved to be a tiger without readers...
