Wang Sanyi lifted the hem of his robe, squatted on the side of the mound dug into a hill, and observed the situation at the construction site with Li Guoding and others at will, chatting while watching.

Everyone's attitude was relaxed with some vigilance and uneasiness, and many people glanced in the direction of the barracks and the 100 official halls from time to time.

Since the police message was returned, the flag army has assembled and is not allowed to go out, and is on standby at any time.

Of course, the people outside the barracks were also uneasy, and even the migrant workers' camp was alarmed several times last night.

Early in the morning, a few timid banner soldiers gave up the food and salary they had accumulated earlier, preferring to leave with nothing.

Of course, this decision was heart-wrenching, and these people were quite resentful when they left.

There are also people under Wang Sanyi's hundred households, who complained loudly to the officials of the hundred households, and there was no lack of resentment towards Min Yuanqi, Wang Sanyi could only appease them, and promised to intercede with Min Yuanqi to see if he could reduce some punishment and make up some food for them.

Wang Sanyi was also faintly dissatisfied in his heart, he and Li Guoding were the first to cooperate with Min Yuanqi, and Min Yuanqi also gave him half of the bonus distribution, which is a lot of income, which has far exceeded Wang Sanyi's imagination.

Prior to this, Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding also tried their best to help, the two of them in the flag army of 100 households, the strong and bold went to the barracks for training, and the strong and brave and ordinary flag soldiers, plus Yu Ding and others, all went to the salt pond and the construction site to help.

Then Min Yuanqi handed over the technology to the craftsmen, and Wang Sanyi and others could only manage their own hundreds of households, and later they unified the distribution and supply of food and wages, and the power was seized by all the people.

This Zhuwen is a hereditary official in the city where the guard is located, a family of officials who have been inherited for more than a hundred years, and is proficient in all kinds of power battles and ways of being officials.

After this person grasped power, he recruited many officials here, and there were very few official affairs in the city, and the status of the officials was low, and they could not receive four buckets of money every month, and they were all poor and miserable.

When they heard the move, almost all the officials in the city, except for a few, arrived at the 300th household.

At this time, everyone is in charge, some people are responsible for distributing chips, some people are in charge of the treasury, some people are distributing grain, and some people are making statistics. If these officials refuse to do things, all kinds of delays and perfunctory ways of dealing with their superiors are passed down from the ancestors, and if they are willing to do things, they are quite shrewd and capable. After all, the family of officials has to learn laws, arithmetic, literacy and many other affairs since childhood. In the Han Dynasty, there were law officials, military officials, sword and pen officials, all kinds of 2,000 stone mostly from the officials to start, whether it was to assist the county officials in the local government to govern the strong, sort out the distribution of interests, manage the people, or go on the horse for the army, too shou for the generals, the officials for the auxiliary, get off the horse to manage the people, get on the horse to shoot the captives, this is the Han officials, but also the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty's governance!

The families of Zhuwen and others have been officials for generations, and it can be said that they have been poor for generations, and they can receive food and salary every day when they get to the construction site, and everyone is extremely grateful and cherishes this opportunity. Everyone is very serious about doing things, in just more than ten days, no matter which hundred households come to the flag army Yu Ding, or the women who help on the construction site, all affairs are taken over by these officials, all affairs are managed in an orderly manner, the craftsmen are responsible for technology, the officials manage the daily operation, the flag army and the rest of the Ding work hard, and the women are doing miscellaneous assistance, so that many things are carried out in a very orderly manner, more than ten days down, not only the salt pond management of salt is quite stable, New salt ponds were also rapidly excavated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In front of Li Guoding and Wang Sanyi, more than a dozen large salt ponds with a radius of three or four miles have begun to take shape, and these large salt ponds are either east or west, or close to the sea, or slightly farther away from the tidal flats.

The dam is built in the offshore place, and there is a diversion hole when the water is stored, and the wall of the salt pond has a certain inclination, which is easy to be blown by the sun and wind, and the bottom is made of tiles, which is the same structure as the kanchi. After the reservoir is filled with seawater, the accumulated seawater gradually dissolves into salt, and then it is introduced into the pond, and after the sun and wind are constantly stirring, the brine can be turned into salt crystals in one day and one night.

These large cisterns in front of you, as well as the acres of acres of ponds distributed around them, are a symbol of wealth in the eyes of everyone.

Even if Wang Sanyi and others are dissatisfied and uneasy in their hearts, they are also full of hope.

The guards are poor, the army is poor, and everything in front of them is their hope to get rid of the poor life of the past.

As long as there is money, there will be plenty of food and clothing, and as long as there is money, you can hire poorer professional sailors and slender men to go north for them. In the guards along the canal in the south of the Yangtze River, part of the transport army has turned into a professional Cao Gang, more people farm, plant mulberry and raise silkworms and weave cloth, Jiangnan is rich, and most of the transport troops are hired to replace professional sailors and slender men, Dahewei here has long wanted to do so, but everyone is poor and miserable, and there is no chance.

The salt pond in front of them is an opportunity for a prosperous and happy life in the future, and Wang Sanyi and others must firmly grasp it, even if their authority is encroached upon, they must continue to stick to it.

"The pencil is now proud." Wang Mingyuan has been responsible for managing registration and other things, he doesn't care about things, and obviously takes care of the people of his own hundred households, there are a lot of injustices on the construction site, although the poor military households are full of gratitude to Min Yuanqi when they first arrive, and they are willing to make more efforts to do things, but after a long time, once there is injustice in people's hearts, even if they know that Yanchi is related to their future livelihood, but as long as there is one person who is lazy and slippery, there will be ten hundred.

Before all the news, several hundred household officials and family children managed, and the Yanchi construction site became more and more smoky, and a large number of flag soldiers ran away when they heard the news, which also had a lot to do with the chaos on the construction site.

At this time, Wang Mingyuan had already taken away all power, and every day he was the same as the officials who issued the chips, registering and issuing the chips, and other than that, everything could not be asked.

The people in a green shirt always came the earliest and left the latest, and at this time they were also discussing the construction site with a group of officials, and Wang Mingyuan had both injustice and jealousy and unwillingness in his eyes.

Wang Ermei also looked at Zhuwen, and hurriedly said: "Brother, if you put more thought into it, you should also think of what you can think of when you read the scriptures and history." Now that people are doing well, you should think about other places and see if you can do better, and you have nothing to do with other people's thorns. ”

Wang Mingyuan was still a little unconvinced in his heart, and sneered after listening to his little sister's words: "What about a little official, and what about Min Yuanqi's bought deputy thousand households?" We are here, but we want to borrow their salt pond income, so that my Wang family can have a better life, and also so that the remnants of the banner army can have food and clothing, this is my father's benevolence. As for me, as long as I continue to study, it is the most important thing for me to be promoted to the middle school, and if I become a person, it is enough to be on an equal footing with the commander, at least not inferior in the slightest. If you are a Jinshi, even if you can't stay in Beijing, you will be a county in the place, and a deputy thousand households, even if you have a private soldier in Yanchi, can you compare with the dignified Baili Hou? Therefore, Song Mingxiang once said that the one who won the Jinshi roll call in Donghua Gate is a good man, and I don't care about these things in front of me at all! ”

Wang Mingyuan is talented and intelligent, and he is a talented man in his early twenties, and he is indeed proud of his capital.

But a showman, when he said these words, he was extremely angry.

It can be seen that his heart is still a competitive and strong young man after all, seeing that Min Yuanqi, who is about the same age as himself, has made the big thing in front of him and created such a foundation, Wang Mingyuan has his own pride as a scholar, but his heart cannot be completely untouched, of course, there are some envy and jealousy in it, after being stimulated by all the news, Wang Mingyuan is a little unwilling, he is not as good as Min Yuanqi, a son of a family who has attacked hundreds of households, even the little officials who have been officials for generations?

Xiaomei's words stimulated Wang Mingyuan a lot, and this is the reason.

Seeing her brother reacting so much and being so excited, Second Sister Wang could only sigh silently.

Wang Sanyi agreed, and after a few heavy strokes, he said: "Since this is the case, you don't want to come over in a few days, anyway, there are not many things at hand, and I don't want you to help here, I and your uncles can do the things in front of us." You stay at home and study well. ”

Wang Ermei couldn't help but say: "Now the situation in Jingshi is unknown, and today's autumn may not be as usual, let alone the spring of this year." ”

Wang Mingyuan glared at his sister, but the expression on his face also turned to frustration...... Everyone present is like this, everyone knows that what the second sister said is the truth.

After the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the seventeenth year is the year of the township test, and the second year and the eighteenth year will be the spring festival, that is, the people will be sent to Beijing to participate in the examination.

Generally speaking, the township examination and the general examination are once every three years, but there are exceptions, such as Tejiaenke and the like, but the imperial examination can only be added, not subtracted, once the imperial examination can not be carried out as usual, most of the time it is the dynasty has a big mess, or even the worry of losing the country.

The people present were already very worried, because the news of Jingshi had been cut off for more than ten days.

The emperor may not be able to save his life, let alone anything else?

"The second sister doesn't say anything frustrating." Wang Sanyi's face was displeased, no matter how much he tossed here, even if he really divided a large amount of silver taels, it would not be as happy as his son's move in the exam.

Wang Mingyuan calmed down and sneered: "Little sister, don't say those vain words, and talk nonsense about things that have no shadow." If you want to talk about the crisis, the 300th household in front of you is in crisis. Those pirates and bandits come to attack, they will not come to the house, if I want to say, my father, my little sister and Uncle Li had better go back to their own hundred households to hide first, if Min Yuanqi can't resist the defeat and retreat, we had better avoid Guannan County, those bandits are bold and dare not attack the county seat, even if they go, there are guest soldiers stationed there, they can't please them. ”

"This ......" Wang Sanyi looked silent, he thought for a while, and said: "You better go back first, if you don't have a chance, you will take your family away, and your little sister will also go with you." I still want to stay here, and it's really reluctant for me to leave when things come to this point. ”

Li Guoding had been listening to the Wang family's own discussions, but at this time he also shook his head and said: "I really can't stand it, I have to find a way to help, after all, the bandits are a rabble, and they won't stay here for long." Let's do this together, and we ran away at the end of the day, which is very different from those flag troops who left without permission, and it is too unusual. ”

The hundreds of households around them, the deputy hundred households all nodded, and everyone glanced in the direction of the salt pond, all with a look of anticipation and reluctance.

Even if the other hundred households do not get as many benefits as Li Guoding and Wang Sanyi, but Yanchi Yicheng, the original stagnant life finally has a chance to change, and it is really impossible for everyone to give up now.

At this moment, the sound of the brass trumpet came from the camp.
