Even if the dog gave up his face and begged Su Fatzi to reduce the price, the price of a briquette was still as high as 20 yuan in the end, which was still unacceptable to ordinary people who only had an income of 70 or 80 yuan a day.

In order to promote the business of briquettes, the dog mobilized more than 50 people, occupied the most lively dozen street entrances in Longzhou City, built a stove on the spot, stuffed briquettes, and demonstrated the iron pot on the shelf for everyone to see, in order to attract business, and even invited many hawkers to help publicize, on this kind of careful promotion, the business of briquettes is still not improving.

The dog also knows the root of the problem, but there is no way, twenty wen, is the bottom line to ensure that the briquettes do not break the cost, after all, it costs a lot of money to buy charcoal powder, plus manpower and material resources, you can't lose money and make money!

The sale was publicized for three days, and some unexpected good effects were also received, such as the iron stove, which is very convenient for burning briquettes, burning charcoal, and burning mud cakes, so those who come to buy things with money bags will mostly choose an iron stove, and the iron chimney that drains the poisonous smoke is even more sought-after.

But this briquette, no matter how hard the dog advertises it, only a few people come to buy it.

The huge man who was riding on the horse, carrying a heavy blanket behind him, turned his head with a smile and asked the dog riding a mule next to him: "Dog, are we going back to the workshop or to the pavilion?" ”

"Go back to the inn, go to the workshop!"

The business was not doing well, and the dog was not in the mood to go back to sleep, so he went to the briquette workshop on the east side of Daying, Longzhou.

This place was originally a shack area, where a group of old and young homeless people lived, Su Tong moved this group of people to Xicheng when he judged the venue, and transferred a military man, and built a large workshop in just two days.

This workshop is only five or six hundred meters away from the barracks, so there is no need to worry about safety, and there are also more than a dozen strong men patrolling and guarding the workshop, and those scoundrels who are thieves and thieves do not dare to come in and make trouble.

This briquette workshop is naturally under the jurisdiction of the newly established "Black Ball Division" of the Longzhou General Judgment Hall, and the person in charge is the dog.

But the dog was only twelve years old, and although the cheeky craftsmen were in awe of the dog on their faces, they could still be lazy in private, and they were paid fifty a day, and these people were not motivated.

So along the way, the dog wondered whether to change the wages and calculate the wages by the quantity, thinking that those workers would definitely work hard in order to earn more money.

There is also the errand of the workshop, big and small to find themselves, the briquette business can not be sold, the heart is annoying, and you have to bother to deal with these trivial things, it is a headache, so the dog decided to let the third son of the master craftsman Tie Lao Hammer Tie Saburo Tie Xin, responsible for dealing with these messy things, he happened to have read books and know how to read, although his family got rid of the "craftsman" and became a free body, but he has been learning to strike iron all these years and has no mind to take the imperial examination.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the dog can help him say good things about Su Tongju, promote him to be a steward, and mix up an official body of all sizes is also a way out.

It's still early and there's no need to be in a hurry, so the dog rode a mule and swayed slowly, but it happened that he met Zhao Tizhi who was about to go out at the gate of the Longzhou camp, this guy has been on the thief ship of Su Tong's judgment since he got on the thief ship, well, the relationship, the status and the money bag in his pocket are going up.

I spent a lot of money to buy a good horse, and I put on a brocade robe, with a good hunting bow on my back, and a feathered falcon on my shoulder, leading a group of soldiers to prepare to go out of the camp to hunt.

I saw the figure of the dog in the distance, shouted to drive, and a group of people ran over.

"Brother Zhao, how about going hunting with my brother?"

The dog arched his hand and said with a smile: "Brother who can't succeed, there are still some things that the younger brother has not finished here, and I have to go to the judgment again in a while!" ”

"Hey, Brother Zhao, you're really busy, since the last time we finished eating, we haven't met you again! You're going anyway this time! Let's shoot a wild deer and cook it at night! ”

As he spoke, Zhao Tihe came over to take the reins of the dog.

The dog dodged and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, it's really not good today, wait for the younger brother to finish this matter in two days, and put a wine to make amends to your brothers!" ”

"What kind of reparation is not reparation" Zhao Tizhi saw that the dog was really in trouble, so he had to speak: "Then Brother Zhao is going to be busy, and my brother will find you to play another day!" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say"

The dog gave up Zhao Tishi and this group of soldiers, and then turned around and took Da Dalang back to the workshop.

"Zhao Guanren, aren't the briquettes selling well today?"

The iron hammer, who was urging several craftsmen to press the iron sheet, turned around and saw the dog coming dejectedly, so he asked.

The dog shook his head, stretched out his hand to take the account book handed over by Da Da Lang and said, "Iron master, this iron stove will make fifty more pieces, and the iron chimney will also be needed!" It needs to be sent tomorrow, and a few people will be expedited and made out as soon as possible. ”

Iron Old Hammer took the deed sheet handed over by the dog and said yes, then turned around and handed it to his son, who was keeping accounts on the table, and muttered: "I don't buy briquettes for the iron stove, and I don't know what they bought them for!" Even if you use mud cakes, the stove won't work! ”

"By the way, dog, do you need to continue making this briquette?"

The dog looked at the yard in the distance, and saw more than a dozen craftsmen who were busy knocking briquettes with briquettes: "Keep doing it, this thing can be kept for many years, and one day it will be sold!" ”

"If you do it, this charcoal powder will not be enough, and you have to let Su Tong sentence you to buy charcoal!"

The dog nodded and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Not yet! Oh yes! You let me remember the ledger, Saburo has already done it, do you want it now? I'll get it! ”

The dog thought that he would go to Su Tong to judge after a while, and he would inevitably be asked about the account book, so he said: "Okay, you go and get it, I am just going to find the general judge, let him see it!" ”

Iron Old Hammer nodded, said well, and shouted loudly to his son to bring the account book.

Tie Xin listened to the shout, and the echo was good, so he picked up the ledger on the table, which was emitting a strong smell of ink, and walked out of the accounting room to the dog.

This ledger records all the expenses since the workshop began, and all the materials that have been made by the craftsmen so far.

The dog took it and looked at it casually, and saw that the font and number on the account book were clear and clear, and then checked one, yes, he knew that Tie Xin used his heart to make this account book, and he said to him when he was satisfied: "Tie Saburo, do you have any ideas to manage the whole workshop?" ”

Tie Xin's face was overjoyed, and he arched his hand and said, "The villain is naturally willing!" ”

The dog smiled and said, "Then you wait for the good news, and I'll ask you before the general judgment!" ”

Tie Lao Hammer, who was standing on the side, saw that his son was reused by the petty official in front of him, and he was naturally happy in his heart, so he led his son with an excited face, bowed deeply to the dog and said, "Thank you little official!" If things can be done, the old man will naturally repay you with his heart! Hey, why are you still stunned, don't you kowtow to the dog! ”

Tie Xin, who was slapped in the face, hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed to the dog.

"It's okay, it's okay, please get up! Your Saburo is serious and meticulous, so I will naturally rely on him! Alright, you're busy, I'm going to find a verdict! ”

"I'm bothering the little officials!"

The dog waved his hand, handed the account book to Da Da Lang to hold, and the two turned around and got on their horses and walked towards the general judgment hall, well, the Su Mansion next to it.

At the same time that the dog was reporting to Su Tong, the Youchuan County Ya and Sun Zhubo also held an account book and chattered at the Li County Order in front of him.

"County Zun, this is the current situation! At that time, in order to collect and help the villagers of Liujia Village and other three villages, the county decided to sell some ownerless public land, so there was only so much public land left in this vicinity! ”

Although Li County's order does not care about political affairs, it does not mean that it is easy to be fooled, and the errand of resettlement of the villagers of Tangjia Village is a government order issued by the pacification envoy and the transfer envoy of Lizhou West Road at the same time, and even the Longzhou Prefecture government does not dare to stop it.

"No, Master Sun, isn't there still more than 2,000 acres of public land in this account book, how can you say that it is gone?"

"Cough, tell the county that the remaining land is mostly barren dry land and sloping land, and what we want to replace for the people of Tangjia Village is more than 500 acres of paddy fields! So ......"

"That's why it's a chill to let this group of righteous men who serve the country feel aggrieved!"

Li Xianling slammed, slapped his palm on the public case and said: "Tell me about you, you can't do this little thing, how can you be the official of this government for the tens of thousands of people in Youchuan?" ”

is half a level less than the official Sun Zhubo, but compared to the official, he is the chief official of a county, and he is only a deputy position, and he can only bear it by being taught a lesson by this old man.

"Back to the county, the lower officials didn't expect such a thing to happen at that time, so they were all sold! Besides, when you sold the land at that time, you also approved it! Master Sun clenched his fists and said aggrievedly.

Hearing him pull himself out, Li Xianling was immediately unhappy, "I approve, I, I'm not trying to raise money as soon as possible, to take care of the funeral for those mud legs, cough, and the suffering villagers, and besides, you also have a share in the money from selling the fields!" ”

What does this old fool say!

Master Sun Bo suddenly jumped out of this sentence when he heard him, but he was startled, and quickly interrupted him with a cough: "The county respects carefully, we have built the yamen and the county school with that money, as well as the hole to subsidize the army's money, but we didn't put it in our own pockets!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes" Li Xian Ling glanced at the errand officer waiting at the door, and quickly stretched out his hand and patted his head and said: "Look at my foolish head, I always forget!" ”

Sun Zhubo didn't want to talk to him about these messy things anymore, so he returned to the topic and said: "County Zun, what should I do about this matter of replacing the field?" ”

"What to do! Alas, the official doesn't know! ”

The worried Li Xianling picked up the tea bowl and was not in the mood to drink it, sighed and put it back on the table and said, "You go and inquire, can those who bought the paddy fields come back?" ”

A group of mud legs, who would have thought that they would have climbed the high branches of Wu Dashuai after a trip before going to the army.

"Back to the county, the lower officials have asked the outsiders who bought the land a few days ago, and they said that the field can be returned, but according to the current market, three times the compensation!"

"Triple compensation!"

Li Xianling slapped the table again, shaking the tea bowl and jumping wildly.

"It's really unreasonable, the land they bought is still barren, I didn't cure them for the crime of barren land, nor did I fine them with taxes, and now they still want to bite me back, it's really unreasonable."

"The county is angry, after all, they didn't expect this, if you want me to say, we can come like this!"
