The little ÷ said ◎ Net], the ♂ little ÷ said ◎ Net],

Aunt Guo insisted on letting Qiao'er go with me, just hoping that Qiao'er could live a better life. But after Qiao'er leaves with me, even if I can find a rich family for her, Qiao'er will still be lonely after marrying, no more than in Jimo Village, if I bully Qiao'er, you will find justice for Qiao'er together. Arwen spoke, and everyone was silent.

Because Arwen is telling the truth.

Even though Ah Wen's status is not low, but for a short time, for the sake of saving his life, Ah Wen can take care of Qiao'er, but if Qiao'er marries another family, how can Ah Wen do everything?

"What about your second method?" The village chief asked.

Ah Wen's thoughts were thought about for a long time before he said, "Jimo Village will transform with me, make salt, and we will sell salt." ”

"Selling salt?" Aunt Guo frowned, "Salt can make a few bucks." ”

Ah Wen said in a deep voice, "A large area south of Jimo Village is the land of Jimo Village, and salt is not worth much by the sea, but it is not easy to obtain it in the north and south. ”

"But we are tired of cooking, and we can't produce a few salts, just enough for our own use, you say selling salt, the salt of people on the seaside is very cheap, and it takes a lot of effort." Aunt Guo said, noncommittal to this method.

The village chief frowned, "Awen, you have another way to make salt. ”

"Yes, there is a piece of land in Jimo Village to the north, but the terrain by the sea cannot be planted on a trial basis, so a large area is vacant. Why don't we reclaim it, make salt pans, and dry salt. Arwen said in a deep voice.

"Salt?" Several people had different faces.

I've heard of digging salt wells and digging brine, I've heard of frying and boiling salt, but I've never heard of drying salt.

"Jimo Village is near the sea, there is occasional rain, and most of the time it is a sunny day." Aven paused, "A few days ago, I scooped a bowl of seawater in a bowl and put it to dry under the sun, and when the sun was big, it was dried in about two days, leaving some salt. ”

"But Awen, you just tried it with a bowl, how do you know if the salt from the field is the same as the salt we use." The village chief frowned.

"The taste is the same." Ah Wen opened his mouth and looked at a few people, "I originally thought that everyone would pool money to build a big boat and catch seafood, but the cost of this big ship is not expensive, and the period is extremely long. ”

"But Awen, the salt field you are talking about must not be simple, the salt itself is not easy to transport, it is heavy and heavy, and no one knows that this salt field will come out, who can guarantee how much salt can be produced in one acre?" The village chief was also worried, "It's really inappropriate for you to rashly let the people in the village follow you in the transformation." ”

Ah Wen sank his eyes, "I don't want everyone to do it with me, village chief, I want to borrow a few acres of land to the north." I became a tenant, and then hired people from the village to help me cultivate the land and dry salt, and during this period I paid the land, whose land was inherited, and if it was lost, I made it up myself, and if it was earned, I shared the profit with the borrower. There is no one to transport the salt, I will do it myself. ”

"You mean, you want to find someone to borrow land? Do you want to try it first? The village chief confirmed it repeatedly.

Just now, Arwen also had his own thoughts.

If it is borrowed, then the profit can be divided, if it is rented, there is no profit to share, and the rent must be paid in advance, and there is not much silver, so you can't stop at the beginning, and no one knows how much silver will be used later. It's just that the words are in the front, maybe the profit after that is much higher than the rent, he said that it is borrowing, but it is just to let the people of Jimo Village see the profits and let them change their livelihood.

"Borrow...... I'm just afraid ......," the village chief frowned.

Good land, although it can't be planted, but it's all seaside land, and it's okay to put a net and build a small wharf to collect boat rent.

No one will lend it out for nothing.

And what Arwen said is too whimsical, how can salt be dried in this field?

If it is simple to make salt, then this salt will not be rare, although there is no shortage of salt in the coastal people, but there is not much.

A cup of salt should be fried for a long time.

How much work is wasted in the wasted time.

Ziyu suddenly thought that she only vaguely felt that the villagers of Jimo Village had not found a way to make money, but Awen had really thought of this method for the villagers of Jimo Village, and whether it worked or not, she always had to try to know.

"I can only ask you if anyone is willing to lend the ......land," said the village chief, "but what does this have to do with Qiao'er?" ”

"If I can help Jimo Village change the status quo of Jimo Village, this kindness can be regarded as repaid, although I have no memory, but my wife has found it, then I will have to go home sooner or later. I will find a suitable candidate for Qiao'er, stay until Qiao'er gets married, and prepare a dowry for her, I just think that Qiao'er can get the greatest care if she stays in Jimo Village. Arwen glanced at Qiao'er.

Qiao'er pursed her lips.

Aunt Guo frowned.

In the past, she married in a neighboring village, because her parents had an accident at sea, and after the news was learned, her husband's family no longer liked her and wrote a letter of resignation. She reluctantly returned to Jimo Village, and also understood that if there was no support from her mother's family, it would not be easy for a woman to gain a foothold in her husband's family, she only wanted to keep Qiao'er from suffering, but she also forgot that if Qiao'er was sent away, Qiao'er would not be under her eyes and would be more likely to be bullied.

"Qiao'er, what do you think?" The village chief asked Qiao'er.

"Qiao'er's request has already been mentioned to Brother Awen, Brother Awen looks at the right person, if the other party can come up with ten taels of silver, Qiao'er will marry ......" Qiao'er said.

Aunt Guo frowned, "Ten taels of silver, the big guys have all made it together." Qiao'er, you grew up with your aunt, and your aunt can't let you suffer no matter what. Ah Wen, since you said that you want to see Qiao'er or prepare a dowry for her, your aunt made this request for Qiao'er. One hundred taels of silver, if the other party can get a bride price of fifty taels of silver, you can prepare a dowry of fifty taels of silver for Qiao'er, so that she can go to her husband's house with some confidence, and we will not break your promise. ”

Aunt Guo also has a mind.

Ziyu looks like she is either rich or expensive, if she makes a move for Awen, the dowry of fifty taels of silver is simple. However, there are not many people in the town who can afford a bride price of fifty taels, and there are very few who are willing to pay fifty taels to marry Qiao'er. Whether it is borrowed by the other party, or made up, or owned, he is willing to pay fifty taels to marry Qiao'er, one is to prove that the other party has a heart for Qiao'er, but to prove that the other party has a rich family background.

This requirement is not low for the people of Jimo Village.

Even Qiao'er felt that this requirement was really high, and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Aunt Guo, "Qiao'er, before your father left, not only handed you over to Awen, but also let us help take care of you, this is the minimum requirement for auntie." ”

Qiao'er could only purse her lips and look at Ah Wen worriedly, but found that the expression on his face was not wavering, and it seemed that he also accepted Aunt Guo's request.

By the time I left the village chief's house, the sun was already setting.

Aven thought that he could make some time for the day to make some beds, so he put it aside for the time being. The two of them have not eaten until the morning, and they are hungry.

Qiao'er hesitated behind the two, "Brother Awen, Sister Xiaoyu, I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay...... Ziyu smiled, "It's Awen's responsibility, let you marry better, Awen is also more relieved...... At noon this day, we bought your favorite flower chicken, which is still wrapped in oiled paper, and you should still be hungry, so let's heat it up and eat first. ”

"Hmm." Qiao'er has something in her heart, and she doesn't dare to look up at Arwen now.

Ziyu didn't have any big problems, but when Qiao'er went to heat the meal, he pulled Arwen's sleeve.

"This matter is simple for you, it's just a matter of Yantian, are you sure?"

Arwen frowned, "No, but I can try my best." ”

He is not from Jimo Village, and he has no land in Jimo Village.

Ziyu thought for a moment, "I don't know when the guards will come to me, but if there is a temporary shortage of silver, I can also take another hairpin." ”

"No......" Arwen doesn't like her to take out her own things, since it's hers, it should be on her.

Ziyu blinked, "If no one is willing to borrow land, then you will definitely have to rent it in silver, and I know that renting land is not something that can be rented for a month or two months, once the lease is signed, it will be three years at the least, and at most five years at most." This long-term lease of land is a lot of money......"

Arwen hesitated for a moment because of Ziyu's words.

This is also the reason why Arwen has been saving silver before.

Not only that, he can't do it alone, he must hire people, and he must be paid, which is another expense.

"I just thought, sooner or later, I will have to leave, if I can really make a profit, and if I don't sign a lease, they can ......do it themselves when I leave," Arwen said in a deep voice.

Ziyu blinked and took Arwen's hand, "You can't let them do it themselves." ”

Arwen looked up at Ziyu.

"I believe in your vision, if you can really make a profit, others will be blushing and will follow suit. The villagers of Jimo Village have no background, and when the time comes, maybe these fields will fall into the hands of those dignitaries, and Jimo Village will not be able to protect them. You can rent the land and give the tenants dividends every year, which can be regarded as taking care of the villagers of Jimo Village. Ziyu said seriously, "You are different, although I can't tell you your identity, but I can tell you what you want to do, no one can stop you......"

After all, he was an emperor.

Arwen sank his eyes, and after a while, he said, "Okay." ”

Now that the decision has begun, there is no way to stop.

Qiao'er warmed the rice, served it and came over, looked at the flower chicken on the plate, the tears rolled down, turned his head sideways and prepared to wipe away the tears quietly, but he didn't want to hand over an embroidered handkerchief from under the table, looked up and saw Ziyu's concerned eyes, and said busily, "Sister Xiaoyu, I'm fine......"

"Why are you crying?" Arwen looked up and asked bluntly.

Ziyu rolled his eyes at Arwen, and the people were crying, so they couldn't let people speak slowly.

Qiao'er pursed her lips, and after a while, she said in a dumb voice, "Brother Awen is going to follow Sister Xiaoyu, and Alang is also going to move away, and Qiao'er will be the only one in the family at that time......" said and smiled, "No, Qiao'er will already be married by then...... It's Qiao'er who thinks about it too much......"

Qiao'er pretended to be fine, but no one could see that she was full of thoughts, but no one could guess why she was like this.

Ziyu has always asked directly if he wants to know something, he doesn't want to hide his thoughts, and women understand women.

Once a woman has a mind, she wants to speak and stop, as long as others coax her to ask a few more times, she will definitely say!
