0874 Niu Mantun

Especially those ordinary people even took out the copper coins at home, planning to buy salt with the whole family, so that they could buy enough salt for two or three years at once! Because they think that the government has always been a word of words, what if they can't buy such cheap salt? So this opportunity must be seized!

And after the news spread, it had another effect, that is, those who wanted to make trouble did not dare to start! Because they're not stupid, they can imagine a crowd here tomorrow morning! Sometimes if someone makes trouble and causes an accident, I am afraid that the official hat will not be able to wear it steadily! Therefore, the civil and military officials in Yangzhou strictly ordered the people below not to participate!

However, Mr. Zhang was indeed unwilling to fail, and he found some more people to prepare to make trouble tomorrow when there were many people! As for what Huang Guojun said about strictly preventing trouble, he selectively ignored it!

In his opinion, how could a bunch of weed-like ordinary people compare with the people he had arranged! Those ordinary people who are called and drunk by these people on weekdays are not afraid of no matter how much they gather!

At this time, there were two people mixed in the periphery of the crowd, both of whom were eighteen or nineteen-year-old young men, one was called Niu Mantun and the other was called Li Youtian, both of whom were descendants of the same village, and they worked part-time jobs in the city on weekdays to make a living.

Today, they helped people out of work, took a job to repair the house, and now they are carrying their belongings to the city after finishing the work, but they encountered Huang Guojun's announcement of selling salt, and they were suddenly wrapped in the crowd and couldn't move!

It's not so much that they're caught in the crowd, it's that they want to see the excitement and get into it themselves! As a result, I can't get out now! But after they listened to Huang Guojun's words, the two of them looked at each other and thought of one thing, that is, they hurried back to the village to tell their families about it!

Niu Mantun, for example, Li Youtian is a year older, and he is usually the one who makes the idea. So when he saw Li Youtian's eyes asking for help, he immediately made up his mind! So he gently patted the master who was looking at him with his feet and said, "Master Tian, do you think you can settle today's wages first? We ......."

Master Tian sighed helplessly and said, "Then do you have to beg me to carry my belongings back?"

Niu Mantun said with a smile, "Master Tian, I'm really sorry! I'm ......."

Master Tian waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I know what's going on! Don't say that your heart is itchy, but my heart is itchy, I'm afraid I'll have to come here tomorrow morning to line up!"

After speaking, he groped for a string of copper coins in his waist and counted them, then handed them to Niu Mantun and said, "I want to give you all the money, but the money on my body is not enough, and I still need you two nineteen yuan!" Send me the money first, and tomorrow when you finish buying salt, you will come to me, and I will give it to you."

Niu Mantun naturally didn't worry about him defaulting on his debts, and immediately thanked him for his gifts, and then helped Master Tian clean up everything at home, and then pulled Li Youtian to squeeze out of the crowd, and the two of them ran home desperately.

Although the villages in the south of the Yangtze River are relatively dense, the village where he lives is not far from Yangzhou City, but it is also nearly ten miles away. However, the two of them relied on their youth, and they ran and ran in one breath, and rushed into the village without pause!

One of the two lived in the east of the village and the other in the west of the village, so the only one was separated. However, it was already close to evening when they entered the village, and many people had already returned from their busy fields. When they saw two people running out of breath, they asked them what had happened! The two men quickly told the villagers what they had seen today.

So when they returned to their respective homes, most of the people in the village knew that there was a low-salt sale outside the south gate of Yangzhou City!

When Niu Mantun rushed into his yard, the yard was full of people! The people of his family had just returned from the field, and the woman came out to greet him, and it was the time when the people were at their most complete.

The Niu family is Niu Mantun's father, Niu Laopa, who is sixty-one years old this year, but his body is still very strong! He and his wife Niu Wang have been married for decades, and the husband and wife are quite harmonious. I have four children below. The eldest cow is full of grain, the second cow is full of warehouses, the third cow is full of tun and the younger sister is full of flowers!

Father Niu and the eldest are responsible for cultivating a few acres of land in the family, as well as a few acres of land from tenants, and the income is barely enough to make ends meet. The eldest and the second are both

is already married, the eldest already has two children, the first child is a son, seven years old. The second child is a daughter, four years old.

The second family is a girl, just two years old, and she can't leave her mother's arms. The remaining Niu Niu Mantun has not yet married, and Niu Huahua has not yet married! Their family is harmonious and respectful, and although they live a poor but stable life.

Today, the father and the two brothers have just come home, and the cow mother is leading the eldest daughter-in-law to pour water for them. Today it is my turn to cook with my second daughter-in-law, and she is busy in the stove. Seeing Niu Mantun push the door in, Niu's mother said very happily, "Third child, why did you come back so early today? I'm thinking I'm going to leave you dinner at night!"

Niu Mantun can't take care of eating at this time, he is a teenager, and he already understands how important every copper coin is to the family! So he said eagerly, "Dad, mother, something big has happened in Yangzhou City! The government sent people to sell salt at the South City Gate, ten cents per catty, and each person was limited to one catty!"

As soon as he said this, the whole courtyard looked up at him in surprise! The cow mother hurriedly said, "What are you talking about, is it true?"

At this time, his eldest brother Niu Mangu pulled him over and pressed him on the stool, handed him his own water, and said, "Take a break, drink your saliva!"

Sister-in-law Niu prepared the water for her Zhang Mansion to calculate the time, and Niu Mangu entered the yard just to cool down, so Niu Mantun drank all the water in the bowl in one go, and told everything he heard today!

After listening to him, everyone was moved! There's nowhere to buy salt that's so cheap! In particular, the cow mother pulled the cow father's sleeve and said, "Boss, what do you say?"

Daddy Niu pondered for a moment and said, "How much money do we have?"

Mother Niu quietly glanced at her two daughters-in-law, and then whispered, "Only one or two years old! As for the copper coins, a little more than three hundred!"

Father Niu said decisively: "Bring me all the copper coins tomorrow, old woman, you are watching the children at home, and everyone else will rush with me to Yangzhou City to buy salt." Everyone can sell a lot of salt back by queuing together!"

Niu Mantun said: "The official said that each person is limited to one catty, and it is useless for you to bring so much money!"
