Chapter Ninety-Six: Don't Worry, Old Man......

Yesterday, the food produced by the people in Qingque Village was only about 300 catties, and naturally everyone couldn't help but buy three or five liters like this.

In just a few moments, the salt was sold out.

Only a very small number of people at the front of the queue bought the salt, and the rest all returned empty-handed.

The people who bought such cheap salt naturally hugged the salt jar tightly, and their eyebrows were dancing with joy, and those who did not buy salt became more anxious and uneasy.

Even though the salt has been sold out, they still gather here and refuse to leave.

The salt that the government has taken out to sell is so small that it is not enough to describe the situation at this time.

“…… Why don't you sell more salt! ”

“… The old man's house has been out of salt for two months..."

Everyone's emotions suddenly became excited, and the joy and anticipation after hearing the news before became full of sorrow and even despair in the face of such a small amount of salt.

Some people who believe in the salted fish boy very much also feel that the belief in their hearts has collapsed a little at this time.

"Bang ......"

The officer regained his feet on the ox cart and took out a gong and struck it vigorously.

The sound of the gong silenced the crowd and silenced the crowd.

The official, who was obviously professionally trained, saw that everyone had quieted down, and after all eyes were fixed, he put down the gong in his hand, and then bowed deeply to the crowd.

"You are suffering from the salt famine, how can the county and we not know?

For this matter, Jun Cheng did not sleep peacefully for many days, and it took a lot of hard work to finally get this novel method of making salt...... It's just that there is a shortage of manpower in the salt farm, and canals, factories, etc. can't be built, even if the county wants to produce 100,000 catties of salt a day to solve your urgent suffering, but because of the reality, it can only ......

… Deliberately requisitioned labor, went to dig canals, build factories, and because the summer harvest is approaching, I am afraid that the agricultural time will be delayed, and I am afraid that the people will complain in their hearts......"

This official stood here and told everyone very sincerely, expressing all the efforts made by the Mayi government represented by Li Jing for the salt famine, as well as the difficulties it faced, as well as his concerns, and his love for the people was immediately displayed in front of everyone.

When the people gathered here heard this, they suddenly realized that they had done so much for themselves and others!

My heart was shaken, and the dissatisfaction that had just risen disappeared in an instant, transforming into a deep sense of gratitude and peace of mind.

The people of Zhuxia are probably the loveliest group of people, they endure hardships and stand hard work, and use their wisdom and hands to create countless breathtaking miracles.

They don't ask for much, they know how to be grateful, just like now.

After hearing that the Mayi government headed by Juncheng had actually made so many things for them, there were immediately hot things surging in my heart.

They have done so many things for themselves and others, and now, they have encountered difficulties, and they have encountered difficulties in solving the salt shortage for themselves and others, so how can there be any reason to stand by and watch?

Money and food may not be available, but the strength is inexhaustible.

"Don't worry, the small people are willing to bring tools and dry food to dig the canal!"

“…… It will take at least half a month before the wheat is ripe, and there are still a lot of things to do, and the small people are also willing to go and build a salt farm! ”

"Count me in ......"

After someone took the lead, the scene immediately became hot, and the urgent demand for salt and the recognition of the government's practices were all converted into the motivation for the construction of the salt farm.

In this drive of gratitude, there is also some ingenuity peculiar to the common people - to build the salt works early, to produce a large amount of salt, and they themselves can eat cheap salt sooner.

This time it is not so much about doing things with the government this time, but about doing things with them themselves, of course, full of motivation.

In the attic not far away, Li Jing looked at all this in front of him, listening to the shouts, some flushes actually rose on his face, and his hand tightly squeezed on the window lattice, showing that he was not at peace at this time.

At this moment, he felt that everything he had done before was worth it.

Such a people deserve to be done by him.

After the agitated mood surged for a while, what Han Cheng said to him yesterday suddenly appeared in his heart - Jun Cheng only did things and couldn't do it, and he still needed to let the people know what Jun Cheng had done for them.

The people are most grateful, especially if they can remember the good of the government, if the people know what the county has done for the people, many things can be easily solved, at least the matter of requisitioning labor to build a salt field will be smooth, and it will not cause complaints......

Looking at the scene in front of him, and thinking about what the little friend of the Han family said, Li Jing only felt that it was extremely correct, and at the same time, he felt as if a window was slowly opening in front of him, allowing him to see something he had never seen before......

"Let people escort 500 stone of grain to the salt works of Qingque Village to provide food for the laborers, and warn the people below not to punish these laborers ......"

Li Jing instructed his henchmen.

These people also saw that shocking scene with Li Jing not long ago, and their hearts were stirred.

Since ancient times, the conscription of labor has not always been gloomy.

This is especially true since the great cause.

It was the first time they had encountered such a thing as the current one in which the common people were actively participating in labor.

Longing for the good, and disgusting the bad is the thoughts that everyone will have, even if it is a heinous person, there is some sense of justice in his heart.

These people can become Li Jing's henchmen, and follow Li Jing to work on these things, naturally they are not heinous people, and they have a stronger sense of justice in their hearts.

It didn't take long for someone to ride a horse and send an official document about the large amount of salt that Mayi was going to produce a large amount of salt to the three counties under the jurisdiction of Kaiyang, Shenwu, and Yunnei, which were not directly under the central government, and let the government get the news and immediately notify the matter to calm the people's hearts.

As for Shanyang County, there is no need for the government to publicize it at all, and after these people here go back today, they spontaneously spread this exciting thing, and I don't know how much better the effect of the government's personal propaganda is.

When everyone heard the news, they were all excited, and in such a situation, even before the government could notify them, many people had already spontaneously prepared for hard labor.

Immediately after the government's notice came, many people from different places gathered towards Qingque Village......
