"My brother is not working in the mine now, but he has a place to stay, if he has no landing, it is better to go to my house and live for two days before making sense." Sha Santie is a person with a heart, and he is still worried about Jiao Ting's whereabouts.

"I don't have to, I want to go to Yuncheng County, I heard that there is an ancient family village there, there is an ancient small official in it, he is very righteous, known as the jade face Meng taste, and I tried my luck in the past, and I can't say that I can ask for an errand."

Jiao Ting is also a native of Hebei, and entered Shandong with the displaced people a few years ago, but he did not go to Yuncheng, but went to Zizhou, and finally temporarily settled in Wujia Mine in Jinling Town. But after all, he is a person on the rivers and lakes, and he has some friends on the road, and gradually he heard the name of the jade-faced Meng Wei, and happened to meet a vicious steward like Ding Baiyan, how could he be willing to spend his whole life in the mine, so he saved some money and prepared to leave.

"Isn't Yuncheng County in Jeju Mansion, this guest official is also from Jeju Mansion, what kind of ancient petty official must know, brother might as well find out before it's too late to go." Sha Santie suddenly remembered that these guests were from Jeju, and he must know a thing or two.

Jiao Ting was about to ask, but when he saw Tang Long and the others laughing, he couldn't help but wonder.

"We only laugh at Brother Jiao who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and the one in front of us is the jade-faced Meng Wei of Yuncheng County, but you have to rush to Yuncheng County." Tang Long pointed at Gu Haotian and said to Jiao Ting with a smile.

"It's really a jade-faced Meng taster who is a small official." That Jiao Ting thought that there was a coincidence in the world, and he looked at Gu Haotian as if he didn't believe it.

"Gu Haotian from Yuncheng Gujiazhuang in Xiaxia, I wanted to buy some pig iron this time, but because I had never seen the mine, I asked the Santie brothers to bring it to see, and I didn't want to be lucky enough to meet the Jiao Ting brothers." Gu Haotian arched his hand and said.

"Brother Jiao, this little official must be the one you said about the jade-faced Meng Wei, and yesterday he took thirty taels of silver to treat my brother's injuries, who still has such righteousness." Sha Santie suddenly thought of yesterday's incident at this time, so he interjected on the side.

Jiao Ting saw that Gu Haotian recognized himself, and Sha Santie also said his righteous deeds, so he believed it in his heart, only to see him kneeling in front of Gu Haotian, confessing his guilt in his mouth, and scolding himself for having no eyes. Gu Haotian hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and introduced the people around him, and everyone withdrew from the shantytown and returned to the town in a carriage.

At noon, Gu Haotian set a table of banquets for Jiao Ting, Jiao Ting's submission made him more deeply aware of the importance of fame in this era, if you count Shi Qian and Duan Jingzhu, Jiao Ting is already the third person to bow down, he thinks that this time he must go back to read a good book, Qiu Yu must obtain the identity of that person no matter what, then he will be a righteous little official with both civil and military affairs, so what does Song Jiang compare with him.

Let's say that Sha Santie sat in the banquet, facing a table of good dishes, but the food was not as satisfying as breakfast. He didn't think that the young guest officer surnamed Gu had a great reputation, and even his brother Jiao Ting, who he admired very much, immediately fell to the ground when he saw him, but he didn't have the ability of Jiao Ting's brother, and he didn't know if he was willing to take him in.

"Why don't the three iron brothers eat it, it's not as good as the steamed corn in the morning." Gu Haotian joked with him.

"Little official, if I come to your village to do things, I am willing to take them in."

Since he knew the identity of the guest officer, Sha Santie was thinking about this matter all the way, and he asked worriedly.

"Why don't you take it in, it's not just you, as long as the miners are not traitors, I will take them in if you want to go, let me tell you like this, as long as you recruit a young man, I will have 500 Wen with you, and how much you can recruit depends on your ability."

"But seriously."

Sha Santie was stunned for a while before he reflected, in his opinion, this little official was giving him silver.

"Naturally, there is no fake, or I will take fifty taels of silver with you as a deposit."

"It doesn't have to be." As soon as Sha Santie finished speaking, he didn't eat the dishes and got up and ran out. However, as soon as he came out of the door, he turned back and asked:

"If you have a family member, there are craftsmen who will not take it in."

"Take them all in, and if it's a craftsman, hire one person to give you one or two." Gu Haotian is short of craftsmen, don't say one or two, even ten taels, he will not hesitate.

Sha Santie heard the right thing, and he seemed to have run away, the craftsman was one or two, there were several in his family, and the people who came out with his father...... He was now anxious to go back and counsel with his father.

"Are there any shortage of manpower for petty officials?"

Jiao Ting also looked at it from the side, in his opinion, the most important thing in this world is the poor who have no food, so there is a reason to spend money to hire people to find it.

"It's really a lack of people, I have a big manor there, and there are not enough people."

"There are also many fellow villagers from Hebei who have come to this mine, and I am not greedy for the money of 500 yuan per person, but I feel that they are living too hard here, and I want to find a way out for them.

A few years ago, there were many displaced people in Hebei who settled in this area, and they were signed by those black-hearted mine owners who took advantage of the danger of people to sign a deed of sale.

"How many people are there, all in those mines?"

"There are always five or six hundred young people, plus nearly a thousand family members, and there are some in every mine."

"You will contact them secretly first, only saying that housing does not cost money, the monthly income of young and strong people is at least three taels, and women, children and elderly people have income as long as they are willing to work, and we will discuss how to get out after the number is set."

Jiao Ting heard that Qingzhuang has an income of three taels a month, and his family can still earn money, so don't they have an income of more than five taels a month, which is a huge amount of money for the current miners, so don't let Gu Haotian and Nasha Santie hurry away at the moment.

And said that Jiao Ting left Gu Haotian and went to a shack in the mining area, where lived a good brother, named Xue Can, who met on the way to flee Shandong years ago, and also had a skill, the two of them cherished each other and formed a friendship of life, and later worked in the mine of the Wu family, because both of them were alert people, so they never signed a death deed. This time he found another way out, and Ben also invited Xue Can to come out together, but he dragged his family to take care of his family's livelihood, and he didn't dare to take risks about this unsure thing. Jiao Ting originally wanted to take his family over after he settled down, but now he happened to meet a petty official and left together.

Let's say that Jiao Ting came to a shack in a hurry, and was about to push the door in, but saw a woman's crying and scolding from inside, he heard it clearly, and he was angry and kicked in. saw Ding Baiyan and a few of his subordinates doing something to a young woman.

"Ding Baiyan, you thief, in broad daylight, you actually do such a shameless thing, how can the master spare you." Jiao Ting stepped forward and punched Ding Baiyan with a punch.

Seeing Jiao Ting coming in, Na Ding Bai was already panicked in his heart, thinking about how this rough man had turned back again, and then he took another punch in his face, and suddenly raised a piece like a steamed bun, and when he saw that he couldn't get any benefits for a while, he fled with his subordinates in a panic.

Jiao Ting was about to chase after him, but he couldn't rest assured when he heard the woman crying behind him, so he had to give up.

"Why is Erniang at home alone, sister-in-law and Xiaoshan?"

This woman's name is Xue Erniang, but she is Xue Can's sister, and she was also close to Jiao Ting in the past, and the two of them also had a lot of meaning in secret.

"Today, my brother went to work in the mine, and my sister-in-law and Xiaoshanzi went to the town, who would have expected Ding Baiyan to come in suddenly, if it weren't for my brother to arrive, I would ......" The second mother said and cried bitterly.

Jiao Ting was an upright man, and he was at a loss for a moment in front of the crying Xue Erniang, just at this time Xue Can's wife came back, and she was also scared when she heard it. It wasn't until the evening that Xue Can returned from work, and his face turned blue with anger after understanding the reason, but he was not an impulsive person, and there was still a family here, even if he took revenge, he had to have a perfect plan.

"Brother, I can't stay in this place anymore, I happened to meet the jade-faced Meng Weigu little official today, his manor is short of people, my brother can earn three or five taels of silver a month to that place, and my sister-in-law and sister-in-law also have income, why bother to suffer that bird here, today I rushed back for this."

"Then what kind of ancient petty official, how did you meet it by chance."

Xue Can was a little puzzled, why did Jiao Ting just go in the morning and find someone in the afternoon.

Jiao Ting had to tell the two sides about the meeting again, and said that the Gu family manor was in urgent need of recruiting people with good salaries.

"If there is really a good place of peace of mind, who doesn't want to go, but this place really can't stay any longer, tonight you and I will find a confidant brother to find out, tomorrow I will go to meet with the ancient little official, and get the idea of getting out. At that time, the white eyes of that ding, hum-" Xue Can snorted coldly and stopped speaking.

"Hehe, that beast doesn't need a brother, I won't let him go." Jiao Ting is also angry.

That night, the two went separately to find acquaintances and friends, and they didn't come back until nearly midnight, and they met sixty or seventy people each, but no one was unwilling to leave, and all they cared about was the problem of the deed of sale.

"Brother, look at what kind of life everyone is living here, the little lady doesn't even have a few feet of coarse cloth to cover her body, I will rush to the town to find a little official, and ask him to think of ideas to take more brothers out." After walking around, Jiao Ting's heart became more anxious.

"It's late at night, it's not too late to deal with it and leave tomorrow morning." Xue Can was a little worried.

"I've been in this place for more than half a year, who can help me, my brother just has to rest assured." Jiao Ting didn't pay attention to it, turned around and went out.

"Brother, take this with you and eat it on the road." At this time, Xue Erniang chased after her and stuffed a bag of things into Jiao Ting's hand.

Before replying, Xue Erniang had already turned around and went back to the house. Jiao Ting picked it up and saw that it was a handkerchief, and there was a pair of Tilian embroidered on it, he recognized that this was Erniang's usual beloved thing, which was wrapped in two mixed buns, and they were still hot. Jiao Ting's heart was hot for a while, and he said to himself that when he arrived at the manor of the little official, he would buy a decent dress for Erniang when he had money.

In this happy vision, I don't know how long I walked, Jiao Ting only felt that he was tripped by something under his feet, and suddenly fell forward, and then pressed down many people on his back, he understood that he had been plotted, and he struggled a few times but found that it was useless, and was carried away by a group of people in black after a while.

The pavement was still dark, but there were two more white flowers, reflecting a faint light on a handkerchief on the side of the road.
