Warmth: "What are you doing in Zhuangzi?" ”

"You'll find out in a moment." To put it simply.

Warmth: "......."

God mysterious!

"I'm busy, busy earning money! Delay me to earn money, you will compensate me? ”

Nalan Jinnian smiled: "Well, I'll take you to see the silver!" All for you! ”

Warmth listened and became more curious.

Just didn't say anything more.

Nalan Jinnian told Wen Jiarui and Wang Xiao about their envoy to Tanglin.

Wen Wen didn't care too much: "What reward is there when you win the city and come back?!" ”

Nalan Jinnian: "How about letting the imperial brother hand over to you the palm print of the Yanyun Division of Yancheng that he asked for?" ”

Wen Wen was surprised at this time, and she nodded without hesitation: "Okay!" ”

Such a great good thing, how can warmth refuse?

You must know that "the world's endowment, salt is half of it, and the palace is served, the military salary, and the hundred officials are all dependent on Yan." ”

"The most extensive benefits of the country's assets are like salt."

Salt is the lifeblood of a country's economy.

Salt is a very sensitive thing in this dynasty, so she has never taken the initiative to fight in this regard.

However, if the emperor takes the initiative to give it, in this way, she can produce salt in large quantities.

It just so happens that Nanyang Mansion is not its own fiefdom?

Nanyang Province is near the sea, and she can build all the salt fields.

In that way, this "general of the eater" will not need to be "looked up to by everyone"!

A few pennies can buy half a catty, and the people can eat it for a month.

And those salt officials and salt merchants are so rich that they leak oil!

Warmth is like seeing a tsunami-like wave of silver, rushing towards her.

As he spoke, the carriage stopped.

Nuan put his hand on Nalan Jinnian's hand and jumped out of the carriage.

There is a large pond with small wooden blocks floating on it.

There are more than a dozen small boats operating on the pond.

Warm and reckoned with the small floating wooden blocks beneath the pearl mussels raised in fishing nets or bamboo cages.

"Pearl farm?"

Lin Feng glanced at the warmth in surprise: What is there that the county lord of Hui'an doesn't understand?

You can see that this is a pearl farm?

This farm was run by Yuan Li, and the first time he came to think it was fish farming!

Nalan Jinnian gave Wen Wen an appreciative look: "Hmm." ”

can be seen at a glance that it is a pearl farm, not a fish pond, and this is the only girl.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the freshly mined pearls."

This pearl farm, which he ordered to be built for six years, only succeeded in raising pearls this year.

Nalan Jinnian took a warm hand and walked forward.

Because it is on the edge of the pond, the ground is a little slippery.

The two did not walk fast.

Not far away, a man hurried over.

"The little one is the master, the lord of Hui'an!" Steward Yuan came to the two of them and saluted respectfully.

Warm looked at Steward Yuan, whose skin had darkened by more than one level, and she was a little surprised, she bowed slightly: "Steward Yuan, long time no see!" So you came here to raise pearls! ”

"Back to Lord Hui'an, it's been almost two years since the little one came here."

The tone was respectful, and he leaned forward, not daring to make a mistake at all.

Soon after returning to Beijing, he was sent by his master to take care of this pearl farm!

Exposed to the wind and rain, God knows where he has suffered such hardships when he is pampered in the palace!

Nalan Jinnian ignored Steward Yuan, he pulled his warm hand: "Go ahead, see if the pearl mussels caught by those fishermen are big." ”

"Good!" Warm thought that she didn't have to spend time and effort carving those jade pendants and jade pendants.

Take some pearls back here, raise them with purple gas, have a healthy pearl bracelet, and have a pearl necklace!

Well, customers who book 100,000 taels still have to send jade pendants, jade is priceless.

But there are not many people who are willing to recharge 100,000 taels at a time, so she is much easier.

Steward Yuan immediately said: "Master, Lord Hui'an, please be careful of slippery roads." ”

The two stared at the path under their feet and walked cautiously forward.

Soon the two came to an open space in front of a wooden house.

There are already fishermen picking pearls here.

There was a big pile of pearl mussels on the ground

There were several women sitting here and opening pearls.

Some people have small children with them.

A pearl mussel that is only bigger than an adult's palm, after breaking it open, reveals the small pearls inside that are pink and white.

Fishing boats are still rowing on the vast ponds, collecting mussels and transporting them back to shore.

Steward Yuan said to the people who opened the pearls: "The owner is here, everyone will give a gift to the seventeenth master and Miss Wen!" ”

Everyone hurriedly put down the tools and pearl mussels in their hands, and pulled up the children beside them to prepare for the salute.

They glanced at Nalan Jinnian and Lord Hui'an, and only felt that the two of them were more dazzling than the sun in the sky, so they didn't dare to take a closer look after a glance, so they quickly lowered their heads and saluted.

But a few, the little ones opened their innocent eyes and were stunned!

This brother and sister are so beautiful!

Nalan Jinnian raised his hand: "No need to be polite, you guys are busy!" ”

Everyone still made a simple salute: "I have seen the seventeenth master, and I have seen the county lord of Hui'an." ”

Wen Wen looked at the children, then looked at the nearby pond, and reminded: "Children are playful, so it's better not to bring them to this water's edge." ”

It's such a big pond here, and the adults are so busy with their work that sometimes they are so focused that they forget about the children, and they fall into the water and something happens, and that's not good.

The women who had brought the children immediately became helpless and hurriedly promised, "Yes, we won't bring it next time, we won't bring it!" Don't chase me away, girl! ”

The wages here are high, and you don't get tired of sitting here to open pearls, although your hands are sometimes broken, but there are a hundred wen a day, and there is nowhere to find such a job with a lantern!

"yes, we won't be bringing kids next time! Don't drive us away, the boy is very obedient, he won't run around, he won't steal pearls. ”

.......

Wen Wen knew that they had misunderstood, and smiled and reassured: "I'm just worried that something will happen to the child, so I won't drive you away." ”

There was a little girl who was scared, but she still endured her fear and said timidly: "Beautiful sister, I won't run around." I will open pearls and help my mother earn copper plates! Don't drive me away, okay! The younger brother in the family was sick and asked for money to buy medicine and see a doctor. ”

The child's mother was so frightened that her face changed, and she immediately said, "Miss, don't misunderstand, the child doesn't receive salary!" I thought 100 wen a day was too much, so I asked the child to help, and she didn't have to pay for it! It's true! Steward Yuan, right?! I said that the children are only here to help, and they don't need to be paid! ”

She can't live without this job!

After working for more than ten days, my son's medicine money will be available!

The little girl didn't know, but she only knew that her mother said that she would bring her to open pearls together and earn money together to treat her brother's illness, so she came happily!

The other women also rushed to ensure that the child was not paid.
