Chapter 120: Means of Making Money

Spring overnight, a few days later.

Early in the morning, Gao Liang rushed over, and before he entered the door, he heard him shouting excitedly:

"My lord, someone is here again, it's Jiang Da from Liangzhai, and Liu Si is also back."

"Jiang Da and Liu Si?"

Why did they come so late, Wang Zheng smiled slightly, Wuwenhe is now handed over to Fork and Liu Si, and Jinshuihe is handed over to Jiang Da, which is indeed a reassuring thing.

The current Lianghe Water Village is no longer the murderous place that the people avoided in the past, and it is even helping to collect the displaced people, and some of the things in this are only known to Wang Zheng and his cronies.

This year, more than Jiangda has worked hard in the two rivers, walking on thin ice.

When he learned the news of Wang Zheng's marriage, he couldn't wait to come, but he was stopped by Liu Si, and the two discussed with each other that it was inappropriate.

Speaking of which, after all, they are still water thieves, and they are different from salt dealers, as long as Wang Zheng does not break it, salt dealers can appear in the lobby like dogs as merchants.

But if these people go to congratulate them with such a swagger, it will be fine to meet Yanding and Wendengbing, but if they meet the generals and soldiers from all over the country, once there is any misunderstanding and cause a bad impact, they may become the enemy's handle in the future.

Only then did I patiently drag on for a few days, and I thought about the others a little less and then came back quietly, but I still didn't see less of the guests, but there was a bit of a trend of more and more.

There was no way, so the two of them had to pretend to be rough farmers, for fear of causing trouble to Wang Zheng, and the rest of the people were gone.

In the past few days, Wang Zheng has not been idle, and he has come to congratulate the people not only on the day of marriage, but also in an endless stream for several days, and even the relatives who can't beat the eight poles on weekdays have also come a lot, anyway, the people inside and outside are surnamed Wang.

Some of these people dragged the child and said that it was their nephew, and some of them were not ashamed to say that they had a friendship with Wang Zheng's father back then, and the soldiers who were guarding the door were also confused, and they didn't know whether to stop or let them go.

Wang Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, even Wang Liu didn't remember these things, some of them were real relatives, and most of the rest couldn't tell whether they were here to eat and live, and there was no way to verify it.

The people Wang Liu knew stayed in the state mansion, so he could accompany the old man to talk and relieve his boredom, and the rest were arranged by Niu Pingliang to take care of things in a manor in Jinshanzuo, anyway, there were not many people, and they couldn't eat or drink.

In addition, there are even more generals and officials in various places, but don't forget, Wang Zhengke also carries the title of a Wendeng battalion officer, nominally in charge of Jinghaiwei, Chengshanwei, Weihaiwei, Ninghaiwei and the army, grain and equipment of the four thousand households.

The civil and military officials in these places also came to the door one after another, and the commanders and commanders of the various guards also kept visiting, some gave gifts to pull relations, and some wanted to take advantage of the king's good mood, stammered, and took a step forward in their positions, and there were also those who stared at the vacancies and wanted to enter the position, most of them wanted to keep their existing official positions, anyway, these days have not been broken.

Wang Zheng nodded and said: "Jiang Da hasn't seen him for a long time, they are all old brothers, call him and Liu Si in." ”

Gao Liang answered, and hurriedly went out to pick up the two of them.

Jiang Da was still so swarthy, with a fine red upper body, wearing the common clothes of farmers in the fields, he walked in, and at a glance, Jiang Da and Liu Si were really like that with two hoes on their shoulders.

After entering the door, he put the hoe aside, and knelt down directly to the king.

"The little one is the garrison, how are the adults?"

Wang Zheng took a few steps forward and pulled up Jiang Da and patted him on the shoulder:

"Yes, very! It is not easy for you and Liu Si to be in Wuwenhe for more than a year, and these officials all know that since they are back today, our old brothers will have a good chat. ”

As he spoke, Wang Zheng waved his hand and said:

"Xiaocui, go out to give orders, I don't see any guests today."

Xiao Cui was looking inside stupidly, and didn't hear Wang Zheng's words clearly for a while, Wang Zheng frowned and said again:

"Xiao Cui, what are you looking at?"

Sticking out her tongue, Xiao Cui glanced at this side again reluctantly, and jumped out of the door with a grin:

"I know Mile Guard!"

Jiang Da didn't expect Wang Zheng to attach so much importance to himself, so he couldn't stop choking up, kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up.

Seeing this, Gao Liang and Liu Si hurriedly stepped forward to pull Jiang Da up, sat on the side, and Gao Liang said loudly:

"Heiyu, you don't know the temper of our guard, just say anything, and you must be unambiguous if you can help!"

Jiang Da's temperament is like this, he is silent on weekdays, and his mouth is straight to the point, he saw Wang Zheng nodding and said:

"Adult, the little one is here to congratulate the adults and sister-in-law, and secondly, there is something that must be said to the adults."

Wang Zheng understood what Jiang Da meant, and gestured with his eyes, and when Gao Liang saw it, he got up and waved away a few maids around him, and several people gathered around.

Jiang Da subconsciously glanced behind him, opened his mouth and said:

"A few days ago, the Zheng family sent me a letter."

In a blink of an eye, the time came to May of Chongzhen's tenth year.

The weather is a little cooler, and many military households have changed into thick clothes, and even the salt ding of the inspection department has to add a few more outfits when walking.

The matter of Wang Zheng's marriage has come to an end, and Yu'er has some strength as a good wife and mother, and she actually began to sew up Xiao Wang Zheng's clothes with a few women.

Seeing this scene, while being relieved, Wang Zheng also suddenly thought of something, and called Guan Qingtian, Huang Yang and a few others to discuss, and some things were put on the agenda at that time.

The last encirclement and suppression of Yangma Island yielded a lot of gains, but the four outposts of the Wendeng camp are no longer enough to defend half of the Dengzhou Mansion, and it is urgent to recruit troops.

When Wu Weizhong was in office, Wendeng had a total of 768 people on the register, and no one knew how many people could really have, only that after days of escape, the combat consumption of Baitiao and others in Langli, Ninghai Prefecture, Wang Zheng laid off a group of old and weak, and now they are incomplete, and there are few people left.

The current Wendeng battalion is supported by the four sentinels trained by Wang Zheng, and the original generals are either overhead or confined in confinement.

Ren Han, Ren Hu and other four newly recruited sentinel subordinates are not enough, on the other hand, half of the territory of Dengzhou Mansion, just the four teams of Yanding have no way to effectively control it, and both sides need to recruit people.

Wang Zheng has a bunch of things in his mind, it is almost winter, and the soldiers' clothes and rags also need to be re-sewn, otherwise many people will freeze to death in winter.

The ochre mines found on Yangma Island are still waiting to be mined, and they are made into fine armor and weapons, and although the income from boiling salt from boiling the sea is a daily income, it is still very stretched, and the proceeds from the seizures will not last long, and if there is no new source of silver, these things cannot develop at the same time.

After everyone arrived in the main hall, Wang Zheng looked at Fan Ruohai and asked:

"If our sea salt is made into refined salt, how much can the price be raised?"

Fan Ruohai is most familiar with these things about salt goods, and he is respectful at the moment:

"If you go back to Lord Garrison, refined salt is a few coins of silver higher than sea salt, but it has little effect, and it can't take effect immediately if you raise the price, after all, it can only be used to clear your teeth, if you can have green salt, tsk."

Saying that, Fan Ruohai said with a pity on his face:

"At present, the provinces are rampant, and the green salt in Jining has been broken, even if it is boiled, it can't be transported, and the green salt is priceless."

Suddenly, Guan Qingtian said in surprise:

"My lord, I almost forgot that we have a sufficient amount of green salt, which is prepared in Jinshui River Village!"
