0880 sold salt
Huang Guojun said, "Why can't you take it? This is a reward, not a steal!"
But the old village chief said, "Master Jun, he is not the only one who catches the gangster, if he only takes the silver, he is afraid that it will lead to the dissatisfaction of the other people in the village, but it will cause the villagers to disagree!" So why don't you give a few more bags of salt to the military master!"
Huang Guojun knew that this old man was afraid that the money would cause trouble, so he didn't expose it, nodded and said, "You are smart. It also makes sense! In this case, the official will take back the money, and give you the equivalent of salt! It's just that this young man was the first to find out that he was bringing people, and he always had to get more benefits!"
The old village chief nodded and said, "This is not bothering the military master, the little old man knows it!" The salt that the military master rewarded him with was not shared by others, but only by those who took the villain!"
Huang Guojun nodded and said, "That's very good! Alright, you go to the queue quickly, and when you get here, you will naturally have salt for you."
As soon as this incident ended, everyone knew that there were people in the crowd with hidden evil intentions, so acquaintances all formed a group and looked at the strangers around them vigilantly. Moreover, the people know that these people who sell salt are god-like characters, and they say that they will cut off their heads, so they naturally have to abide by the rules of others. So for a while, the team was much more tidy!
But at this moment, there were several places in the crowd where the sound of noisy fighting came! I heard someone in the crowd shouting, "This man has a knife in his sleeve! He took it out and put it back in just now! Hold him!"
Huang Guojun immediately sent the soldiers to support, and sure enough, four more people were dragged up! They were all found with sharp blades! Two of them wanted to escape but couldn't, and most of the people in this crowd were whole villages, whole streets, or whole families who came to buy salt, and they were caught in the blink of an eye!
Another man drew a sharp knife to intimidate the crowd and try to get out! But in the blink of an eye, the sticks were flattened, and in the blink of an eye, he was directly beaten half to death like the first unlucky egg, and then he was dragged in front of Huang Guojun!
As for the fourth person, he was the unlucky! Although he didn't resist, he was still beaten with old punches, and he was dragged to the front with a blue nose and swollen face! When he saw Huang Guojun, he wailed and said, "Official, the villain is a butcher, and it is common to have a short knife pinned to his waist!" 「
Huang Guojun only learned that when he was queuing, he saw an acquaintance not far away, so he thought about going to say hello. As a result, he was beaten as a thief after seeing the short knife on his waist, and was pulled to the front in exchange for a reward!
At this time, some family members rushed over crying. There are also people who know the butcher who come forward to guarantee him to prove that he is indeed not a villain. Huang Guojun laughed and let him go back and continue to line up! It's just that he suffered this dumb loss, and he could only endure it with his anger!
However, the other three gangsters were not as good as him, and they were directly pressed on the cart and cut off their heads, and they were hung high! So under the shock of the four heads, the team suddenly became orderly! Even those who were ready to shoot with sharp knives were terrified, carefully hiding their sharp knives, and holding a handful of copper coins as if they were buying salt!
After a bit of tossing and turning, the sun has completely shaken off the high rising horizon, and it is finally time to officially sell salt! The people of Niumantun Village followed the team and slowly advanced, and at the same time, everyone who saw Niumantun praised him and a group of little brothers!
And Niu Mantun, these young people, felt that they had earned benefits for their families, and they even stood tall and couldn't help themselves, dragging whistle sticks back and forth to patrol on both sides of the team.
Soon it was the turn of the people of Niumantun Village to buy salt, and the old village chief said, "Mantun has made meritorious service today, and the people of your Niu family will go first."
Father Niu hurriedly led his family to the front of the line, and the soldiers who maintained order shouted, "How many people are in your family?"
Father Niu hurriedly said, "Master Jun, there are a total of ten people in our family!"
After speaking, he looked at the soldier with some trepidation, for fear that the soldier would say that the three children were not Dingkou and would not sell them salt! But the soldier just glanced at it, checked the number of people, put it in his pocket, and said, "One hundred! Throw it in!"
Father Niu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately threw the copper coins he had prepared into his pocket, and then came to the salt cart according to the soldier's instructions
。 As soon as he opened his pocket, a soldier took something like a grain hopper and dug into the salt pocket, then smoothed out the raised table salt with his hands, and poured the salt into the pocket as soon as he received it.
His face fell ten times, and his pockets were already bulging. The soldiers next to him recognized Niu Mantun, directly dragged out two large bags of salt, motioned for the Niu Mangu brothers to put on their backs, and then waved their hands to signal them to leave quickly along the vacated road next to them.
But at this time, the cow mother pulled the cow father's sleeve and whispered, "This is not too much!"
Daddy Niu glared at her and motioned for her to leave. In desperation, the cow's mother hurriedly escorted several daughters-in-law and children away. As soon as she came out of the crowd, the cow mother said, "Why don't you let you speak? How do you know if you are giving enough salt if you don't weigh it?"
Father Niu weighed his pockets and said with a smile, "Don't worry, old woman, the salt given by these officials is definitely enough!" I'm afraid it's ten and a half pounds more!"
In fact, before this, Huang Guojun expected that there would be many people who came to buy salt, if everyone had to weigh it, God knows when it would be over! So he simply modeled a few buckets after the bucket for harvesting grain, to ensure that after loading the salt, it would definitely look like a pound exceeding! It's quick and convenient, and it can also make some benefits for those villagers.
People like Niu Mu naturally have to be careful when buying things, so as not to be deceived! But Daddy Cow, they have it in their hands! When this bag of salt arrived in his hand, he knew how much it was as soon as he weighed it!
At this time, the village chief's family also happily walked out with their pockets. His two sons each carried a big bag of salt! Come to think of this, this is the benefit given by Huang Guojun!
Soon the people in the village gathered on the side of the road, and after the eldest son of the village chief counted the number of people, he saw that there was no shortage, and a group of people rushed to their homes along the official road! Along the way, everyone carried their pockets, and they all said that the amount given by the official was enough, and there was a lot more!
More careful people brought the weighing pan with them, and after picking up the weighing pan and holding it from house to house, sure enough, each family had at least half a catty of extra salt! This made them smile even more, and they went back happily along the way!
When the sun sets, there are still many people rushing to buy salt! Because the whole Yangzhou already knows the news that low-priced salt is sold here, there is a steady stream of people coming from all over the place. But the amount of salt is really not enough, and the people who came after it complained!
