"I was quite tired just now, but being massaged by you like this made me feel refreshed instantly."

Mu Shaoyou replied with a sigh.

"Then the little girl will press it a little longer."

Huang Ximeng instantly spoke in a more serious tone, "Childe, this mountain digging tool is hard to find, you must let Pangjiazhuang keep it secret, it is best to let them sign the contract, if you really dig out the salt mine, in addition to the taxes handed over to the government, everything else will be sold to us, sometimes, human favor is not as good as a piece of paper, we still have to prepare." ”

Mu Shaoyou thought for a while and nodded lightly, "Well, you're right, but don't mention the contract now, let's see how deep we can dig, and in two days, if we can't smash out a deeper passage, we will go back to Lanzhou." ”

Huang Ximeng nodded softly, and her delicate little hands continued to rub Mu Shaoyou's shoulders, so gentle that they were cute.

Mu Shaoyou also lay on his side to rest.

Soon, a shout of "dug through" came out, and the entire Pangjiazhuang instantly boiled.

"I've dug through the rocks!"

Qian Chongba jumped off the carriage, looked at the salt cave, and couldn't help sighing, "Uncle You is really amazing, no wonder Uncle asked me to hug his thigh!" ”

Hum.

Mu Tong snorted lightly and raised his head high, as if he had known that he would dig through.

"Dig through!"

Huang Ximeng's beautiful contacts kept flashing, and he pushed Mu Shaoyou down, "Childe, dig through." ”

"Hmm."

Mu Shaoyou responded simply, then stretched his neck, "Continue to press your neck, a little harder." ”

"Uh..."

Huang Ximeng was stunned in place, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

Mu Shaoyou was unmoved.

"The salt mountain is dug through, the salt mountain is dug through, and Pangjiazhuang can stand up again."

"We can dry salt again, and we don't have to go to other villages to beg for food and drink."

"Daddy, have you seen it, our salt mountain is open again."

The people of Pangjiazhuang were excited and wept, and rushed out of the house with Pang Tong.

When many miners heard the news, they also had tears in their eyes and felt hope again.

Party A's salt mountain has been dug through, he is a good person, and everyone's good days are coming again.

Pang Tong took Ma Chaohua Xiong and them to Mu Shaoyou, and knelt down directly without saying a word, "Childe, the salt mountain has been dug through, your righteous rescue, Pangjiazhuang does not dare to forget, all the salt that Pangjiazhuang will dry in the future will be sold to you for two pieces of silver." ”

"Two pieces of silver?"

Mu Shaoyou shook his head lightly, "Absolutely not." ”

"Huh?"

Pang Tong gritted his teeth lightly, "That son, I'll sell it to you for three pieces of silver." ”

If there is really no shortage of money, there is no problem with giving it to the son for nothing.

But the miners dry salt, only five or six pieces of silver per catty, and they also have to buy all kinds of tools for drying salt.

The salt that is dried out has to be handed over to the government fifty percent, and two percent of the tax has to be paid.

The remaining thirty percent is already very good to be able to solve the problem of food and clothing, even if it drops two pieces of silver, it is already a situation where it is just one meal a day.

If you lower the three pieces of silver, I am afraid that the family will only be able to eat one meal in two days.

But if there is no son, not only will the son not be saved, but this salt mountain will not be able to be opened, and this kindness must be repaid.

Mu Shaoyou shook his head lightly, "Pang Tong, you think too much, I don't dislike expensive, but I dislike it too cheap, according to five pounds of silver on the market, you can just eat enough, so I decided to collect ten pounds of silver and collect one million catties of salt from Pangjiazhuang every year." ”

The miners in Pangjiazhuang were instantly restless, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing.

When the salt merchants came to collect salt, they were desperately trying to lower their prices and only let them have enough to eat.

No salt merchant has ever taken the initiative to raise the price to make them more money.

Even if the Wang family gave those Party A, it was limited to six pieces of silver per catty, and it did not reach ten pieces of silver at all.

Childe gave ten pieces of silver, and this merit can go to heaven.

"Ten pieces of silver."

Pang Tong was stunned, and shook his head frantically in the next second, "Childe, this won't work, you will lose money, you will spend a lot of money to bring salt to Lancheng from here, give us three pieces of silver, we will be very satisfied, we don't ask for anything, just ask for food and clothing." ”

"Yes, Childe, just collect the salt with three pieces of silver, I can't let you post the money."

"To be a salt merchant, you have to deal with everything in all directions, and it is not easy for you."

"And there are bandits on the way back, you have to hire someone to protect them, otherwise you will be robbed."

The miners opened their mouths to dissuade them, and they also wanted to earn ten cents of silver, and they also wanted to earn more.

But I'm afraid that one pound and ten pieces of silver, Mu Shaoyou will lose money after taking it back, and he won't be able to do it anymore.

Compared with the price given by the Wang family, they were more willing to sell to Mu Shaoyou.

"That's it, absolutely."

Mu Shaoyou waved his hand gently, "But I want you to add a process when drying salt, which will increase the working hours, and the quality of the dried salt will be better, and the price will be better." ”

There are a lot of impurities in the salt farm, and he plans to build a filter screen, so that the quality of the salt will be better.

Pang Tong and many miners nodded one after another, "It's all up to Gongzi's arrangement." ”

If there is an extra five pieces of silver, even if there is one more process, what if there is one more process, I am just worried that Gongzi will pay so much money to get salt, and when the time comes, how to make money.

Alas, Childe is really too kind, seeing that they are living a very hard life, he will give us more money to make our lives better.

Huang Ximeng spoke at this time, "Since it has been decided, let's make a contract, and both parties can have a good guarantee." ”

"No problem, write the contract."

Pang Tong didn't even think about agreeing directly.

Once this contract is made, even if the Wang family comes to make it difficult, there is no way to change it.

If they don't make a contract, once the Wang family comes over to put pressure on them, they may be able to hold on for a while, but the other miners don't dare.

Mu Tong quickly took out the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and Huang Ximeng quickly wrote a contract.

Just as they were about to draw and sign, suddenly a group of people swaggered in.

The two people in the front, one wearing splendid clothes, the other wearing the official uniform of the prosecutor, and a large group of officers and soldiers in the back.

"Wang Dan management?"

"Inspector Xu?"

Looking at the two, many miners silently bowed their heads, not daring to look directly, and some even trembled for a while.

Even Pang Tong, Party A, couldn't help but change his expression, and his whole body became extremely uncalm.

Mu Shaoyou frowned and asked, "They are?" ”

"Wang Dan is a member of the Wang family, a person who contacts Party A in the salt factory, and buys salt for the Wang family."

Pang Tong explained in a low voice, "And that Inspector General Xu is in charge of the security of the salt farm, and the right to check the salt mountain and this salt mountain was also bought by the Wang family." ”

Mu Shaoyou frowned lightly and remained silent, quietly watching all this.
