The stove didn't care what Xu Dai's identity was, he was used to being bullying in the field, and he directly blushed and let Xu Dai not come to the stage.

Who is Xu Dai? On weekdays, he is still in the township, and it can be said that in Hailing County, all officials have to visit his Xu family after taking office.

Now, although he has a request for others, but you dare to embarrass him in front of him with a small stove, Xu Dai suddenly pulled his face down.

Seeing this, Dou Changchang reprimanded the stove with a dark face and said, "Lu San, what kind of cheap breed are you, you dare to give face to Minister Changyue?" Don't kneel down and plead guilty! ”

After speaking, he winked at the middle-aged stove just now.

Lu San's size was grown up by Dou Changchang, and the two families even had in-laws, at this time, how could he not know the deep meaning of Dou Changchang's clear reprimand, but in fact, preservation.

But he was unhappy, so he knelt down with a "poof", knocked three times, and knocked his head down, but anyone could see Lu San's reluctance.

Xu Dai knew that it was not appropriate to worry too much at this time, and if he couldn't bear it, he would make a big plan.

He picked up the teacup and said lightly: "That's it! ”

Then he said: "I have already checked, the salt you dry on weekdays, the private salt sellers give to those sitting merchants, and a pound of salt is sold for eight cents of silver, right?" ”

Everyone was silent, and the private salt seemed to be hidden, but in the eyes of local gentry like the Xu family, there were almost no secrets at all.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Xu Dai sneered slightly: "Although you don't make money with six cents of silver, what if I charge you one percent less than the rent of Xujiatan Dangtian every year?" ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and the rent of the beach field was low, which was tantamount to further reducing their costs, which ......

At this time, Lu San said again: "Changyue Gong, even if your Tandang Tian drops by one percent, it still can't make up for our losses!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people around him stopped talking.

Everyone, including Dou Changchang, seemed to have forgotten that Lu San was rude again at this moment.

Xu Dai was unhappy in his heart, and looked at Lu San coldly: "What do you know!" ”

After speaking, he waved his sleeves, as if he disdained to talk to this cheap stove, and turned his head to Dou Chang and said: "Brother Dou, let me ask you, on weekdays, you sell it in a scattered manner, and those sitting merchants are annoyed when they see the price of the sky, I am different, how much salt you have, I will collect it all without saying a word!" How much does this save you? How much did it save you from being exploited? Isn't that the truth? ”

Dou Chang groaned.

Everyone present looked at him with blazing eyes.

After thinking for a while, Dou Changchang said with a sad face: "Chang Yuegong, we are young friends, and I won't hide it from you." Six cents, plus your Xu family's reduction and exemption of the land rent of the beach, we do still have to earn, but ......"

When Xu Dai heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "You go on!" ”

Dou Chang was puzzled: "But the cooks we hired will get less money, so they have to rebel." ”

Xu Dai laughed when he heard this: "You, you, Brother Dou, I said that you are smart and confused for a while!" ”

Dou Changchang was puzzled: "Changyue Gong taught me. ”

Xu Dai said: "Since I will collect as much salt as you have, then you let your subordinates cover their heads and just dry the salt, maybe you and those stoves will earn more at that time!" ”

After speaking, he continued: "The salt produced by our two Huai salt farms is not only used in Nanzhili, but also in Huguang and Jiangxi, but I am here to give you a thorough explanation, as long as you have salt, then don't be afraid that you can't sell it, and the one in the palace will find a way to solve it when the time comes, understand?" ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were immediately sad and happy.

If it is really the same as Xu Dai said, then they can completely expand their production and use all the people in the salt field, the salt pans should be developed, the salt brine should be sunned, the fire should be burned, and even the children can let them break the reeds that have dried the salt grains out of the salt.

At that time, although the profit per catty of salt is less, the quantity has gone up, but it is not just hello, hello, hello, everyone, all of them have made money.

At this time, a cautious chief said: "Chief Douchang, drying salt is a hard job, and those stoves are purely doing a day of monks and hitting the clock for a day, and they don't want to contribute at all, let alone let their families come out to dry salt!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu San, who was still full of resentment just now, jumped to his feet and said: "If they dare, if they are disobedient, I will whip these cheap embryos!" ”

"That's it, those stove smokers are just cattle and horses, how can there be bad animals in this world!"

"Haha, Chang Yue Gong is the friend of our chief of Dou Field, and the good thing is that we are the first to think of us!"

Everyone who was embarrassed just now, at this time, all disappeared and began to praise Xu Dailai.

Xu Dai smiled on his face, and the whole person was still holding and reserved.

After a while, the Dou family said that the wine and food had been arranged, and asked the masters to wash their hands and enter the table.

After a concession, the table was full of big fish and meat, and Xu Dai sat on the main seat and began to toast......

Just when the front yard of the Dou family was lively, in the horse shed of the Dou family, a dying man fell between the horse manure covered with whip marks.

One of the stoves spat at the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands together, and then took the whip and gave it to the man on the ground.

The whip went down to the flesh, but the man on the ground only snorted and didn't scream.

Na Ding scolded: "Ding Erxiao, don't blame Lao Tzu, who told your watery sister to be favored by our Dou Changchang?" If you want me to say, Dou Changchang is kind-hearted, if I were him, I would go directly to your house and rob your sister, what else would you do? ”

As if they had not heard the stove, the man on earth lay dying beside a pair of hot horse dung.

The sound of staggering from the front yard made him a little dazed at the moment, he hadn't eaten for two days, since he fled home and brought a bite of food to the blind old lady and sister at home, his own share was not left, and now he heard the sound of the guests shouting and drinking fists, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, as if there was a fire burning in his belly.

Seeing that Ding Erxiao didn't speak like a dead man, he thought he couldn't do it, so he stepped forward and kicked Ding Erxiao in the ribs with his foot, but when he saw that he still didn't react, he panicked.

"Someone, someone. This Ding Erxiao has not moved! ”

After a while, the stove Ding came over with someone, the man touched Ding Erxiao's snort, and pushed him again, seeing that he didn't move at all, so he scolded: "You don't have a light or heavy hand, this is the person named by the field manager, if you kill it, I see how you explain to the field manager!" ”

The stove Ding said irritably: "Ben Nima said, what now?" ”

"Quick, untie the rope, feed him some food and hot water, don't beat your mother!" As the man spoke, he went to carry Ding Erxiao.

When the stove heard this, he scolded and lifted him up.

The two of them worked together to place him in the open space by the trough, fed him some water from the manger casually, and went to get some cakes and hot water for him to eat.

Seeing that he still didn't move, both of them panicked and hurried in to find the Dou family's steward.

Not long after the two left, Ding Erxiao, who was originally motionless on the ground, suddenly jumped up, agile like a rabbit.

It was only this jump that caused the whip's injury, and he didn't dare to stay long after grinning his teeth, and before the man returned, the cover of the trees slipped away!
