Chapter 6 The Village Guardian Team (I)
Although those families all knew what Shi Jin was going to dig these salt mines for, they were also very curious about how Shi Jin made salt.
But those family members also know that there are some things that they can't inquire about.
And most importantly, those who go to mine at night are each rewarded with five taels a month.
With the silver, they all knew they should keep their mouths shut.
For the first time, Shi Jin was needed to personally lead the team to mine, but in the future, he didn't need it.
What Shi Jin needs to do is to wait for the family to come back from mining, make green salt, and then notify those salt merchants to trade every once in a while.
It can make about 300 catties of green salt in a day, and it is 9,000 catties in a month. If you sell it all, you can earn about 1080 taels of silver a month.
Although it is said that the sale of illicit salt is semi-open, it is also necessary to deal with corrupt officials.
After Shi Taigong's guidance, Shi Jin sent 120 taels to the government every month to dredge up and down, and 100 taels to the Huayin County government.
Removing those who dredge the government and reward those families, Shi Jin can earn 800 taels of silver a month, and he also has an income of 9,600 taels in a year.
That's a lot of money!
With this huge income, Shi Jin can not only let go of his stomach to eat, but also start to implement some plans for uprising and rebellion.
For example, to train an armed force, Shi Jin has already thought of the name - the Zhuang Guardian Team.
On this day, when drinking tea after dinner to relieve greasyness, Shi Jin said to Shi Taigong, "Father, the world has not been peaceful recently, and there are often thieves who gather to rob homes and houses. We sell illicit salt on a large scale, and it is difficult to protect people's eyes. The child thinks that we should still invite some bankers to form a team to protect the village, so that we can protect ourselves if there are strong people. ”
When Shi Taigong heard it, he felt that what Shi Jin said made sense. Today's saints are greedy for pleasure, thieves are in charge, and there are many thieves and robbers. Moreover, private salt is very profitable, and it is difficult to ensure that someone is not tempted, and it is the person who should have a guard.
Shi Taigong thought that Shi Jin would take these into account, and said with relief: "Da Lang has grown up, you can do this thing!" ”
Shi Jin heard it and said happily, "Hmm! ”
With Shi Taigong's permission, Shi Jin immediately sent someone to post a notice at the entrance of the village.
The approximate meaning is: the world is not peaceful, there are many bandits and robbers, and our historian recruits Zhuang guests to protect Shijiazhuang. The Shi family will not treat everyone badly, and if they are willing to come, they will be fed and lived, and the monthly money will be five taels of silver. If there are casualties or disabilities, the historian is willing to support their families. ”
After thousands of years of cultivation and soil erosion, the Guanzhong area is no longer the city of abundance it once was.
Now it's not easy to feed a family, let alone having enough to eat.
I heard that there was food and shelter, and there were five taels of silver a month.
Who wouldn't want such a good thing!
Within three days, hundreds of people from nearby villages were vying to become the banker.
Shi Jin selected a hundred young men over 16 years old and under 25 years old from among them, and instructed the family to pick a fat sheep and kill it, and the village had its own good wine.
These selected villagers were invited to sit down in the cottage at home.
As soon as they sat down, the eyes of the bankers straightened when they saw the large plate of meat on the table.
Their eyes were fixed on the meat, and their mouths kept crushing there, "This is meat, this is meat!" ”
There are many people in these villages, all year round, they may be able to eat some meat foam on the day of the New Year, taste the taste of meat, not to mention meat at other times, and they can eat dry rice is enough for people.
Now the historian actually eats meat for himself as a villager, and it is still a large piece of meat.
Looking at the way those bankers stared at the meat and swallowed saliva, Shi Jin smiled slightly.
Sure enough, the large plate of meat and the cage full of yellow buns shocked these bankers at once.
Shi Jin just wants these villagers to know that they have meat to eat with Lao Tzu.
In this way, if you want to rebel or something in the future, most of these hard-trained bankers will follow you.
Shi Jin shouted an order, and suddenly a family member brought up the rice wine brewed in his own village, with a bowl per person.
Picking up the bowl, Shi Jin shouted to the villager, "Everyone should understand that Shi invited you to come to protect the grange." Since you want to protect the village, you naturally have to have some skills. From tomorrow, Shi will train you. Only qualified people can stay. Unqualified person, Shi had no choice but to ask him to leave! Let me tell you in advance, the training will be very hard, if you can't accept it, it's best to leave now, and everyone will not look good at the time! ”
When the bankers heard this, they hurriedly stood up and clenched their fists and said:
"Don't worry, I will definitely finish the training with all my heart!"
"I have a lot of strength, absolutely no problem!"
……
Hearing that they all agreed to stay in training, Shi Jin asked with great joy. "What's your name?"
"Young owner, my name is Chen Ergou!"
"I'm Zhang Mazi!"
"Wang Fugui!"
"My name is Zhang Dashan!"
……
After hearing their names, Shi Jin clenched his fists and said, "Shi Mou is here to thank you." Eat and drink as much as you want, you're welcome! ”
Hearing Shi Jin say that he had eaten, these dealers couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly put down their chopsticks like the wind.
I'm afraid that it won't even take 30 seconds, and there will only be an empty wooden basin on the table.
Each farmer's mouth is full of meat, chopsticks are meat, and the bowl is stacked with meat.
Shi Jin was stunned by the scene in front of him, he never thought that someone would fight so hard to eat meat.
Fortunately, a lot of meat was prepared, and they didn't fight to eat it.
Shi Jin said with a wry smile, "Everyone eat slowly, eat slowly, as long as you train hard, you will have meat to eat every day!" ”
Hearing Shi Jin say that there would be meat to eat in the future, these villagers were even more happy.
After eating, Shi Jin sent Wang Si to take Zhuang Ke to the wing room to clean up his bed.
The room for Zhuang Ke was designed by Shi Jin according to his dormitory in high school.
One room with 5 wooden bunk beds for 10 people.
Each room also has a large wooden cabinet with 10 compartments to store its own belongings.
Take a shower and go to the public bath and toilet.
Let them get used to the environment today and start training tomorrow.
Offering them good food and good use is not for the purpose of fattening them.
Early in the morning, it was just dawn.
Zhang Zifeng stood at the door of the wing, blew the copper whistle, and then shouted loudly, "Get up, get up, it's time to train." Whoever doesn't get to the wheat field doesn't want to have breakfast! ”
Hearing a sharp whistle, the banker woke up. Hearing that the young farmer said that the late people had no breakfast, these villagers immediately rolled off the bed, hurriedly dressed, washed their faces, and hurried to the wheat field.
In a hurry, when these villagers ran to the wheat field, almost all of them were disheveled, their hair was unkempt, and they were all snorting.
Under Shi Jin's order, a hundred villagers barely lined up in 10 rows.
Looking at these Zhuang guests, Shi Jin thought about the appearance of the instructor during the military training in the university.
Shi Jin silently thought in his heart: Shi Jin, you are now an instructor, a very good and strict instructor. These guys are your men. Train them, drill them, train them into a lion.
After hinting at himself a few times in his heart, Shi Jin gathered his abdomen, held his head high, and walked to the front of the Zhuang team with a bamboo whip.
