A long sigh slowly came out of Zhang Daren's mouth along with historical events.

The Eastern Turks, that is, the Turkic tribes led by Jieli Khan, although they signed the Weishui Alliance with Li Er last year, but the wolf blood flowing in their bodies is not something that can be bound by a paper covenant at all.

Last year, Li Er poured all the treasury and let Jieli retreat, but after the winter last year, when there was a shortage of food, they immediately thought of the Tang people's city, and the soldiers pressed the border, and the Tang people were once again looted by the Turks, last winter, the Turks were not frozen to death, but the Tang people on the Tang border were frozen to death in large numbers.

Facts have proved that the covenant signed by Li Er only gave him a moment of respite, if he can't uproot the Turks, a cancer that grows around the Tang Dynasty, the Turks will eventually become the scourge of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that Jia Yi thought of the locust plague that was about to occur next year, and suddenly felt that even if they could produce 100,000 catties of salt by the end of this year, what could they do, if there was no food next year, they would not be able to send troops to the grassland.

Jia Yi and Zhang Daren are both members of Qin Qiong's Heavenly Protectorate, and it stands to reason that he should say such important information, but when he thinks of Li Er's violent temper, Jia Yi feels that his head is more important.

Since the above allows the production of 10,000 catties of salt per month, the system is enough, as long as there are people, 100,000 catties per month is not a big problem.

"That's okay, you send me another forty people, and I need two sets of equipment, don't come with that kind of goods last time, you dare to rob the official, if you are above the battle array, you must be a traitor."

"Okay, this time I will send you some honest soldiers, I will definitely satisfy you."

After Zhang Daren finished speaking, he arched his hand towards Jia Yi and turned to leave.

Soon Zhang Daren promised to send the manpower over, unlike the previous batch of soldiers, these forty people are all good soldiers who are forbidden by order, Jia Yi didn't bother much, on the first day they let them build their own houses and dormitories, let Jia Er send beds and bedding, dinner was naturally increased, after feeling the rich food here, the forty new soldiers suddenly had a deep attachment to this beautiful life.

The speed of salt production was tripled the next day, and it used to produce 100 catties per day, but now it can produce more than 300 catties and less than 400 catties per day, and the output of 10,000 catties a month will basically no longer be a problem.

Everything is back on track, Jia Yi is idle again, with the last idle egg hurt **, after almost throwing away his life, Jia Yi will find something to do for himself even if he is idle, check the peanuts, the growth is gratifying, the lush occupation covers the entire ground, just some extra weeds, so that Jia Yi worked for two days to clean up, and gave the two gangsters who watched the land five hundred dollars, so that the two beautiful almost couldn't find the north.

Although there was no locust plague this year, the locusts that were jumping all over the ground still came as promised, and Jia Yi did not dare to let people go into the field to catch locusts, maybe the locusts did not catch a few, and the peanuts killed a lot.

It would be nice if there were pesticides at this time, and now that there is no resistance, any pesticides of dichlorvos can make the locusts die thoroughly.

It's a pity that the configuration of pesticides requires a lot of chemical reactions and equipment, and Jia Yi's knowledge reserve can't get this kind of thing, since poison and insecticide can't be implemented, then another way, everyone can have infectious diseases, there is no reason why locusts can't get thiaz.

Thinking of this, Jia Yi immediately lay on the ground and began to look for the sick and dead locusts, no one knew what Jia Yi was doing, and they all thought that he was full of food and had nothing to do, catching crickets and playing.

After several days of searching, Jia Yi finally found a locust corpse with various fungi growing all over his body, clamped the locust with a pair of chopsticks, and put it in the jar he carried with him.

As soon as I entered the house, I found that the yard was full of people carrying various packages, most of these people were elderly, and some were children of a few years old, but they were all dressed in the same way, that is, tattered.

Jia Yi walked out of the door and looked at the huge plaque hanging on the gatehouse, that's right, it's Lin Mansion, since he didn't make a mistake, then it must be these people who made a mistake.

"You ......"

As soon as Jia Yi wanted to ask who these people were, Lin Ruyu's figure walked out of the crowd, walked up to Jia Yi with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to take the small jar hanging on Jia Yi's body, and said to Jia Yi: "This is the relatives of those domestic slaves in our family, before Jia Changjun told me about his family, I think we are also short of manpower, so let them all come over, no, everyone's relatives have come." ”

Jia Yi glanced at it in unison, okay, there are thirty or fifty people, although the Lin family is not short of these few mouthfuls of food money now, but Nima has nothing to do to support so many people, isn't it.

It's all here, and there is absolutely no reason to drive them away, but they just have to find something to do for these people, and being idle will make them have an uncle mentality.

"Do you know how to build a house?"

There are also people in their thirties and forties, although I don't know why they are in the prime of life, why they get mixed to the point of having no food, but Jia Yi is not ready to get to the bottom of it, who doesn't have a secret, as long as it doesn't harm the interests of our family.

All the middle-aged men have stood up, and it seems that building a house is really not a great skill in these years.

"Well, since you are here, I can't let you be idle, in the next period of time, I will buy a piece of land for you to build a house, the house will not be too big, but it will definitely be able to allow your whole family to live, and I will also find a way to help them get rid of your children's slavery, you have the right to live here well."

There are not many houses in the Lin Mansion, and it is impossible to live for thirty or fifty people, but the lounges of the two inns are enough, and it is no problem for them to make do for a while.

As soon as Jia Yi's words fell, thirty or fifty people all knelt on the ground and called Jia Yishan Master, and even those children who were a few years old were pressed to the ground by adults, which made Jia Yi startled, and he suddenly felt a headache and said another order.

"Lin Mansion doesn't have so many rules, don't kneel down and thank you for nothing, no matter how much you say, there is no real action, if you want to thank me, then sell more strength when you work in the future."

After speaking, he pulled Lin Ruyu back to his room.

"What's going on?"

It's not appropriate to ask people outside, and it's not a problem to ask Lin Ruyu, at least it's very necessary to ask why they have the strength and strength to come to their children who have been sold.

"It's not that you don't have land, farm for the master's family, produce more for you to eat, produce less, you can stay at home, these people are poor people who have no land, don't you let me bring it back, I know you have a lot of ideas, you will be able to give them a bowl of rice to eat."

Although the population of the Tang Dynasty is not much, but the land is also not much, the land in Guanzhong has been rewarded for generations, and there is very little left in the hands of farmers, many people are basically planting land for others, and they can barely survive with some grain during the autumn harvest, if the year is not good, the grain will be driven out without a grain during the autumn harvest, and they will be left to fend for themselves.

Not to mention that those landlords are inhumane, if they feed these landless peasants, then they themselves will have to starve.

Jia Yi looked at Lin Ruyu who was looking at him with a look of joy on his face, he cursed fiercely in his heart, stared at Lin Ruyu's bright eyes with his eyes, and said slowly: "Plant a millet in the spring, harvest 10,000 seeds in the autumn, there is no idle field in the four seas, the farmer is still starving to death, or if you take it in, there is a way, but since this is the trouble you invited, then you have to pay a price, don't you?" ”

"That'...... I don't want my monthly quota, can I give them all? ”

"With your little example, is it enough for them to eat for three days?"

"And what are you going to do with me? I can't think of a way to make money. ”

"Hehe, you don't have to think about it, you just need to express it with action."

Jia Yi said, nodding on his face, but after thinking about it, it seemed too light to let Lin Ruyu go like this, and hurriedly put his finger on his lips.

"Dead ghosts." How could Lin Ruyu not know Jia Yi's careful thoughts, she scolded with a red face and a smile, so she quickly kissed Jia Yi on the lips, and then ran out of the room as if she was flying, but she seemed to forget that she was still holding Jia Yi's jar of sick locusts in her hand.

"Hey, my jar."

"Smack"

Before the words fell, the small rope tied to the jar really couldn't withstand Lin Ruyu's swing, and it broke off directly, falling to the ground and turning into several petals.

Jia Yi rushed over one by one, and saw that the locusts on the ground were fine, but they had lost a leg, so he relieved himself and took out his chopsticks to clamp the locusts again.

Slowly raised his head, feeling that the atmosphere was a little wrong, everyone who was still grateful before, looked at Jia Yi with a look of great appreciation, and everyone took a step back in unison, with a look of fear on their faces.

Isn't it just a locust that has been sick and dead, what's all the fuss?

"Ah, Jia Yi, you are going to die, what are you doing when you get this Laoshzi home, don't you hurry up and throw it away."

Lin Ruyu also saw clearly what Jia Yi was holding in the chopsticks, and the blush on his face that had just risen was suddenly replaced by a miserable whiteness, and he looked at the corpse of the sick and dead locust in Jia Yi's hand, as if he was looking at a demon, for fear that this demon would rush up and bite her.

"Haha, isn't it just a little locust, I'm scared of you." Jia Yi found another jar of locusts and put them away, and then he glanced at everyone with contempt and looked for Jia Erlai.
