That night, countless people toasted Li Shouhan, of course, not all of them could go to Shouhan's side. Now, the Mo Jin Mo Yu brothers beside Shou Han have eyes similar to those of Baozi, that is, they want to protect their generals.

They have already seen a living example, Zuo Tianpeng and Xu Huanshan, who are already in fine clothes, from the two poor boys who had no shoes in the seaside fishing village back then, to become the battalion officer of the first battalion, and they are about to take office and become the soon-to-be-established Xuanwu battalion, oh, that is, the battalion officer of the sailor battalion,

Rao is so, Shouhan is still drunk.

In his sleep, Shouhan barely opened his eyes, "I don't know if I am a guest in my dream, where will I wake up tonight?" Verses like this pop up in my head.

"Mei'er, Mei'er!" Shouhan is thirsty to death, (brothers who have been drunk have this experience, right?!) He wanted Yanmeier to pour him a cup of hot water.

"Young Master, are you awake?!" From the stepping board in front of the bed, Yan Mei'er got up in her clothes, "But it scares me to death!" There was a hint of concern at the corners of his eyebrows.

"Mei'er, I want water!"

"There's warm tea in the pot, I'll pour it."

With two cups of tea, the feeling of fire burning in Shouhan's throat was much better. By the light of the candle, he suddenly discovered that Mei'er was a very beautiful girl. At least, it is in line with him, Li Shouhan's aesthetic standards.

"Okay, young master, the night breeze is up, you better go to bed! After drinking that much wine, don't let the wind blow it, and it will not be good to sit down and get sick. Putting the teacup on a small bamboo table at the head of the bed, Yan Mei'er helped Shouhan to the bed, waited for him to lie down, and was just about to turn around to put the tent, but his right hand was grasped by Shouhan.

"Young Master?!" Yan Mei'er is already a big girl, and the love affair between men and women has long been beating drums in her heart. But she didn't want to hold her hand today, the young master who was admired by countless people inside and outside the mansion held her hand.

"The night wind is up, you better go to bed! I've been tired for a long time, don't be blown by the wind, it's not good to sit down. "It's almost exactly the same as Salt Plum. The white face of the said salt plum was flushed. She took a soft sip and turned to set the tent away.

Needless to say, it's not to mention.

It's just that Yan Mei'er has been climbing for the first time, and it is inevitably bittersweet and uneven.

When Li Shouhan woke up satisfied, it was already a red sun.

"Say hello to the young master!" Several mothers-in-law who were in charge of sprinkling and cleaning the inner house walked in with washbasins, square towels and soap horns, and their faces were full of smiles. Come to think of it, they already know what happened last night.

After the cleansing and grooming of the noodles was completed, Li Shouhan still didn't see Yan Mei'er, "Where did Mei'er go?" He was a little angry.

"Young master, Miss Mei'er went to find Granny Ruan to open her face."

Oh, I see! "Alright, you guys go! Go outside and say that there is a happy event in the house today, go and get a red envelope! Also, in the future, the things inside and outside the house will listen to Fubo, and the things in the inner house, you will go to Mei'er! ”

A few mothers-in-law smacked their tongues secretly, this Yan Mei'er didn't know what kind of foxy kung fu she used on the young master, and she flew up the branches and turned into a phoenix overnight?! Don't say that a stable aunt can't run, and now she has become the housekeeper of the inner house?! Gee!

"The left line gives birth to a noble son, the right line gives birth to a delicate man, and the third line on one side plays steadily, and the girl gives birth to a unicorn. The eyebrows are pulled like a crescent, and the champion looks at the flowers. Congratulations to you today, congratulations on being a bride. ”

In a corner of the General's Mansion, Granny Ruan is making an open face for Yan Mei'er, according to Han customs, when a girl gets married, she must open her face and change her hairstyle, marking that she has a mother-in-law from now on.

After combing his hair, he took a bronze mirror, "Girl, oh, my aunt is getting more and more peugeot." ”

"Of course, can my woman not be pretty?!" Li Shouhan spoke behind him.

"Say hello to the young master!" Granny Ruan hurriedly knelt down to salute.

"Okay, mother-in-law, you can also go to the account office to get a red envelope, and then sue them, saying that I said, this month, your silver and rice will receive double copies."

Granny Ruan left with great gratitude, leaving Li Shouhan and Yan Mei'er to sit alone.

"When you open your face, do you want to bow and worship in front of your ancestors? You will be a member of my Li family from now on!"

"Young Master! Do you really want to worship in front of your ancestors? Sue sù ancestors?! Yan Mei'er was a little surprised, but there was more to the joy.

"Of course, I have already told them that in the future, the affairs of the inner house will be up to you. Fubo is old, and he is in charge of the outside affairs, and the inner house is in charge of you. ”

"That's good." Yan Mei'er is also a strange woman of this era, and she deserves to be the best.

"By the way, why did you pull my shirt last night? Don't let me talk?! ”

"Good my eldest young master! You don't want to be extravagant, okay?! You have already said yesterday that you want to pay for other people's food and silver, and you want to give people mulberry saplings, and then you want to give people silkworm seeds, not to mention, there are many places in the house where money and grain are used now, just say a word, Shengmi Endou Mi Qiu, you haven't heard of it? ”

Damn it! Li Shouhan punched himself and forgot! This era has the characteristics of this era!

"Okay, as soon as people say a few words, you beat yourself, how can this make people dare to talk to you in the future?" Yan Mei'er sneered.

"Alright, Mei'er, let's go to eat, and after eating, go to worship in front of our ancestors. Sue the ancestors what their grandchildren have done now, and what kind of woman they have. Then, you also go back and tell your parents. Li Shouhan's voice was low, he knew that Yan Mei'er's parents had passed away, and he was now her only relative in the world.

"That's right. You changed this outfit! Shouhan pointed to the maid's outfit on Yan Mei'er, "Change into a red dress!" ”

"Don't! Young master, red dress, I'm afraid! I'm afraid, I've lost my lifespan! ”

Red dress, only the lady of the main room who is married by Ming Media has the right to wear it, and others, even if you are favored, here, you have to suffer some grievances.

"First, don't call the young master in the future, call the minister." Li Shouhan scolded in his heart, "That bastard used this word for mahjong!" ”

"Second, this is my world, and naturally the rules are set by me. Are you afraid he's a thief?! ”

Two mountains that slope into the sea form a small bay with a gentle coastline kissing the silvery white sand. In the distance, under the sunset, a few small fishing boats put away their nets and headed in the direction of home. A few jubilant urchins jumped on the beach, chasing the waves, waving their little hands at the fishing boats. They are the children of the sea.

Shioto Village, located on the seashore, is inhabited by stove households who rely on frying salt for a living. This is the birthplace of Yan Mei'er, according to his own words, her mother was still frying salt before she gave birth to her, and she was next to the salt frying stove when she was born, so she was named Salt Girl. Later, because he owed the salt tax to the garrison, there was no way, so his father sent the salt girl to the garrison. (Oh!) Li Shouhan wiped his sweat, it turns out that I am also Huang Shiren! ）

The parents boiled their hair white in front of the salt stove, boiled their eyes, and bent over and hunched over. Nor did they enjoy the day when they had abundant food and clothing. In order to fulfill the wish of a daughter, Yan Mei'er placed three animal sacrifices in front of her parents' graves, burned countless dead papers, and told her parents, "You must bless me, bless your son-in-law, it is a son-in-law, you have a spirit in the sky, just look at the red dress on my body." ”

Li Shouhan gave a big gift to Yanmei'er's parents in a proper manner, got up and watched the stove households in Yanhu Village carry seawater in large barrels and go home to fry salt.

From the garrison mansion to Yanhu Village, in addition to sweeping the graves of Yan Mei'er's parents, Li Shouhan came out to relax.

On the day when she and Yan Meier achieved good things, Yan Meier and Fu Bo completed the division of labor and handover of work. The daily administrative work and expenditure of money and food in the garrison are all under the responsibility of Fuber; And the daily affairs of the inner house are housed by Yan Meier. The rest of the characters also have their own duties.

However, Fu Bo and Yan Mei'er taught Li Shouhan a lesson very strictly.

"Young master, yes, we won the battle this time. Quite a lot of seizures. But your great reward, even though it is willing to serve you to the death. However, in this way, we do not have enough money and food. Fu Bo took out the account book, "Young master, our source of income is to collect people's silver, land endowments, and land rent. Collect taxes and purchase local products by our merchants. However, you have declared that the poll tax will be waived, and the land will be paid a tithe, and the land rent will be gone. Although there were many seizures this time, will there be such seizures in the future? Hardly. Even if there were, he would kill 3,000 enemies and lose 800 himself. The soldiers who died in the war also have to be compensated, and we don't have this money. ”

"You know why, I didn't let you talk that day, did I?!" Yan Mei'er glanced at Li Shouhan, hehe, the white eyes of the beauty are also blue eyes.

"Also, young master, you encouraged the reclamation, and the Miao people and the displaced people from Fujian and Guangdong provinces have gone to Laos and Guangping. However, farm tools, seeds, initial rations, and buffaloes were all paid for from the government, and there was no return for a few years. "Fu Bo also has a very strict look." The rest such as mining, iron smelting, steel making, army casting, and shipbuilding are everywhere that require a lot of silver, money, and grain, young master, after I put the goods seized this time into the warehouse, and in addition to the rewards you have given to various places, the gold, silver, silk and other things we have left behind are barely enough for us to support the next time we receive public grain, of course, to ensure that there are no natural or man-made disasters in these two months, and there are no wars. Otherwise, we're ugly! ”

At this time, there are no words such as monetary tightening, otherwise, it is estimated that this Fu Bo and the housekeeper Po Yan Mei'er will definitely say it.

Thinking of this, Shouhan couldn't help but have a headache, and originally thought that he could use the time, manpower, material and financial resources he gained after solving the power of He Deputy Qianhu to develop himself, but he didn't want to.

So, Li Shouhan took the excuse of accompanying Yanmei'er back to his hometown to worship his parents, and left Hejing as if he were fleeing and went to Yanhu Village to relax.

"Mer, why do you use a bucket to bring the sea back? Isn't there a few springs around here? Li Shouhan suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong, a little vague, but very excited thoughts were racing in his mind, and he was anxious to catch it.

"Good my eldest young master! You really don't know how hard it is to grow a crop! We stove households, take the seawater back, put it in a big iron pot, and boil it for most of the night, only a handful of salt can be boiled. Don't you see that the village is full of stacks of firewood? Day and night, every household is on fire in the hearth? Do you think it's ironmaking? It's my folks frying salt! ”

"Hahaha!" Li Shouhan picked up Yan Mei'er and kissed her cheeks, "My good Mei'er!" You are truly my lucky star! ”

This is the salt that has been boiled and processed in seawater?! Coarse salt grains, showing the most primitive crystalline state, contain a lot of impurities, the surface of the particles with yellow color, and the particles are very large and uneven. In Li Shouhan's memory, it seems that the large grains of salt used to pickle pickles in winter are not so ugly. It seems that in the past, in the winter, the industrial salt used to be used in the boiler room of the prison for boiler softened water treatment was like this?

"This, can you eat this?!" He was puzzled.

"Of course you can eat it! In this Annam, there are also Laos, Chenla, and Siam as far away, and I don't know how many people want to eat such salt, but they can't eat it! A young man from Shiodo Village was a little unconvinced.

"How much does this salt cost a pound?"

"The salt merchant came to collect fifteen wen a catty, and I heard that he could sell it for fifty wen. If it is shipped to Laos or Siam, it is said to be more expensive! ”

Hearing this, Li Shouhan had a bottom in his heart. Hehe, a big gold mine of mine! A steady stream of cash flow!

He remembered a lecture he had heard, and a wild red scholar said that Lin Daiyu was actually not poor, and even richer than Xue Baochai's family! Aside from the fact that the Lin family is also a marquis, just the official of her father Lin Ruhai, Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History! What does this position mean? It is equivalent to the current intermediate committee, and is the team leader assigned to supervise various enterprises such as PetroChina, Sinopec, China Mobile, and Unicom in East China. Think about it, can the Lin family be poor? I can't afford to be poor!

The wealth of Yangzhou salt merchants, in addition to monopoly operation, does not seem to have anything else special. However, salt is a necessity of human life!

Hum! Yangzhou's salt rats! You're waiting for me! In the future, you will have a good day of skin and water in the morning and water in the evening, and there will be no more!

"Mer! Let's go home! ”
