Xu He didn't refute Chen Hua's face too much, and personally helped him untie the ropes that bound him.

After Chen Hua's restraints were untied, he first moved his body, and then turned his head to look at Xu He: "The Xu family sent you?" What about the others? ”

Yes, people still don't look down on themselves as a hairy boy.

Xu He said with a smile: "The eldest uncle is seriously ill, the second uncle knows that he is guilty, and now the eldest aunt is in charge, she thinks that the student's brain is still clear, so she sent me over!" ”

Chen Hua glanced at Xu He again, and didn't know what he was muttering.

Xu He turned to Lao Zheng Tou and said, "Uncle Zheng, this is our Hailing County Commander Chen Huachen who has just taken office!" ”

Speaking of this, he said loudly to everyone around him: "Maybe you don't know, this Chen County Ling was also born in the stove, and he is a Fujian salt division!" ”

When everyone heard Xu He's words, their faces showed incredulity.

The son of a stove can also study and become an official, and he can also become a county parent?

No matter how stupid Chen Hua was, he knew that Xu He was helping him pull in the relationship with Zao Ding.

He is not a self-conscious person, and he is not shy about his family's past.

I saw Chen Hua in front of everyone, flirting with the hem of his official uniform and taking off his official boots, revealing his ankles full of green tendons and slightly deformed bones.

"If you don't believe me, look!" Chen Hua showed his ankles to everyone.

Here are all people who grew up in the salt farm, and when they saw this ankle, they immediately knew that Xu He was not lying just now.

Because the stove has to soak his feet in the brine pool for a long time regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, what rheumatism is almost every old stove Ding will get [occupational disease].

And why are so many women in the saltworks blind?

Because men need to dry the physical skills of carrying water, drying salt, and boiling salt, most of the men who burn the stove are women.

This stove is not just a fire when every household eats, but almost all day and night to add fire and firewood next to the stove, the earthen stove room is dim, the fire is dazzling, the intensity of this light ratio will make the eyes deteriorate quickly.

Over time, these women became blind.

The cooks in the tea field didn't expect that this newly appointed county lord would be born in bitter haha like them.

Their gazes at Chen Hua finally softened.

Lao Zheng Tou wept and said: "Lord County, you are also from a bitter background, please always uphold justice for us, if it weren't for those field chiefs and stove heads who bullied us too much, we really couldn't get by, and who would go against the court?" ”

Chen Hua originally advocated appeasement in dealing with this matter, but nodded when he heard the words: "Uncle, what has happened these days, you can tell me well!" ”

He stepped forward and took Lao Zhengtou's hand and patted it gently.

Just when everyone thought that this county lord was easy to speak, who knew that Chen Hua turned his head to look at everyone: "But in any case, this official does not approve of your previous actions, the court has its own laws, yes, you have grievances and problems, but this is not a reason for you to kill!" ”

This sentence was said in a strict and righteous manner, and everyone in the audience was terrified for a while.

But then he said softly: "But things have happened, and those are useless, now we can only make up for the dead, and we can't make mistakes again and again, otherwise the soldiers of the court will press the border, and everything will turn into powder!" ”

Good guy, Xu He called [good guy], not to mention anything else, this Chen Hua is really not afraid of death.

In this kind of crisis, he still dares to provoke the nerves of these stoves, and if he is not careful, it will be a catastrophe.

Fortunately, Chen Hua has his own bUFF bonus, and he also has the majesty of officialdom when he speaks, which makes the cooks who are accustomed to obeying the words of the officials naturally have a sense of obedience.

At this time, Chen Hua supported Lao Zheng Tou and said: "Uncle, there are many people, let's sit down and talk slowly, you can transfer a few representatives who have a good idea in your heart, and let's talk about how to solve today's matter." ”

Lao Zheng Tou has been a stove boy all his life, and no one who has ever been an official has been so kind to him, he looked at Chen Hua's hands on his arm, and said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, yes, Lord Chen is our own official of the stove, we all believe you in this matter!" ”

After speaking, he turned to Ding Erxiao and the young man and said, "Erxiao, Wang Zhu'er, you find a few representatives, and we will listen to Master Chen's teachings together!" ”

Xu He looked at the two of them, only to see Ding Erxiao nodding his head, and the young man named Wang Zhu'er had a particularly angry look on his face.

In this way, everyone hugged Chen Hua and Lao Zheng Tou and went to the main hall of the Dou family compound.

Xu He is embarrassed now, he rescued Chen Hua, and the people directly grabbed the master, robbed him of the dominance, and communicated directly with Party A.

Xu Yong leaned in and frowned: "Brother He'er, this situation is not right, in case that Chen Hua sells our Xu family ...... then."

Before he finished speaking, Xu He interrupted him and whispered to him, "You guys wait outside, I'll squeeze in." ”

After Xu He [squeezed] in, he saw that more than 20 people had already stood up to the full capacity of the Dou family's hall, and there was no place for him.

When Chen Hua saw him coming, a smile of innocence poured out of his face.

"Why, you don't want to think about who rescued you just now! Now that you are proud, you have blended into the ranks of the people, and you have turned me away, the representative of the official gentry and landlords? Xu He secretly slandered in his heart!

Fortunately, Ding Erxiao is a grateful person, and when he saw Xu He standing outside, he hurriedly came out and pulled him in.

Xu He is also quite thick-skinned, aren't you Chen Hua wooing Party A's father? Then I will stand directly next to the representative of Party A.

Xu He didn't let Wang Zhu'er go and stood beside Lao Zhengtou.

Seeing this, Chen Hua smiled slightly and did not reveal it, and said to Lao Zhengtou: "Uncle, before this incident, how did the salt industry develop?" This official is not in the salt division system, and I am careless about this, and I hope to inform you. ”

There is a reason why Lao Zheng Tou is highly respected in Zhangcha, he is too familiar with Zhangcha, and he replied without thinking about it: "There are 170 pavilions in Zhangcha, 600 stove rooms, and 170 brine ponds!" ”

Chen Hua nodded: "What about Pantie?" Why didn't you use a pan iron? ”

Pantie is a kind of pan-iron tool that resembles the gear-like shape of later generations.

The specific use method is to burn the pan iron to a high temperature first, and then pour the saturated salt tax on the pan iron from the brine pool, and after the brine evaporates, the pan iron will leave crystalline salt.

A plate of iron can boil about five plates of salt every day and night, and each plate is about three or four hundred catties of salt, that is to say, about 1500~2000 catties of salt can be fried in one day and night.

Compared with reed salt and iron stove salt, pan iron decoction salt is undoubtedly more efficient.

The Lianghuai Salt Division is the place that produces the most salt in the world, and there is no reason why there is no pan iron in the salt field.

That's why Chen Hua asked.

Lao Zheng Tou sighed and said: "Those pan irons are controlled by the Dou family and the stove together, if we want to fry salt, we must borrow their pan iron first!" ”

Xu He knew in his heart that this was the same reason that the tenants who farmed the fields had to borrow cattle, farm tools, and seeds from the owner, and it was nothing more than exploiting these people through controlled production tools.

Hearing that all the pan iron was controlled by the field manager and the stove, Chen Hua frowned, this is the entire salt farm, how low should the output of ordinary salt farmers be if they only rely on drying salt and boiling salt in a large pot?

Lao Zheng Tou's words were not finished: "Not only that, but 162 of the 170 brine pools are the property of those people in the Dou family. ”

Hearing this, Xu He couldn't help but scold in his heart, this Nima is really a vampire, don't leave a little way for these stoves to live.
