As I said before, the income of the people of Yizhou is extremely unstable.

If the weather is good, the harvest will be much better.

However, if it is windy and rainy all day, the harvest will be much worse, and it is possible that there will be no harvest of grains.

So what to do?

The family always has to eat, and if you can't catch fish, will you starve to death?

Quite simply, the only way out is logging!

Cut down the mahogany near the sea, transport it out, and sell it to the rich and noble.

That's a good way to make a lot of money!

However, mahogany has a maturity period.

If it is cut down before it is ripe, only the outer layer of the wood will be red, but the inside will still be white.

This kind of wood is called fake wood in the market!

If you take it out and sell it, after being discovered, you will have to chop your hands and stomp your feet!

Mahogany grows twice a year, and one of the ripening periods seems to be the most recent period.

It stands to reason that the people of Yizhou at this time are scrambling to cut down mature mahogany.

This is often the only time of the year when their income exceeds that of mainland people.

If the harvest is good, in just one or two months, you can contribute to most of their expenses for half a year!

It is conceivable how important it is for the people of Yizhou to mature the mahogany.

But now, there is a Yizhou man who ran to Qiandu during the maturity of mahogany!

And looking at him like this, it seems that he is still non-stop, wandering around, living like... It's like fleeing!

This... Li Changkong's doubts in his heart were even worse, so he spoke: "You call people to the quiet room, I have something to ask." ”

When Zhang Quan heard this, he nodded immediately.

Since the incident of the Hanging Pot House, he has almost obeyed the words of this prince.

Oh people, that's how weird it is.

If a rich man is a straw bag, but he has a good father, people will compliment him in their mouths, but they still despise him in private.

But if this rich man is capable, not only capable, but also able to make money with you, people will probably admire him wholeheartedly.

Zhang Quan's attitude towards Li Changkong is probably like this.

In the quiet room, Zhang Laosan was a little nervous.

In his opinion, Zhang Quan, who called him in, was already a well-dressed and decent person.

But Zhang Quan, the decent person in his heart, told him that the one who would talk to him later was the real big man.

You must know everything, and you must say everything.

Don't say anything wrong, otherwise once you commit a taboo, even if the king of heaven comes, he can't save him.

After saying this, can Zhang Laosan not be nervous?

He even couldn't wait for the nobles to come in, and kowtow to others first.

It's always right to be respectful.

However, after waiting for people to come in, looking at Li Changkong's excessively young face, Zhang Laosan was stunned, and even forgot to kowtow for a while.

Seeing this, Li Changkong didn't say too much greetings, but went straight to the point and said, "Are you from Yizhou?" ”

When Zhang Laosan heard this, he finally came back to his senses, so he nodded busily: "The villain is yes." ”

"If I remember correctly, this is the time when the mahogany is harvested, and if you don't harvest the mahogany at home, what will you do when you come to dry?"

When Zhang Laosan heard this, his eyes turned red instantly, and his tone was a little choked, and he said, "My lord, it's gone!" It's all gone! ”

When Li Changkong heard this, his heart suddenly chuckled, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Mahogany! The mahogany is gone! ”

"Just a dozen days ago, a strong wind blew on the sea."

"I've never seen such a strong wind since I was born."

"The old man in the village said that this is the goblin in the sea who is angry and blowing."

"This is a sacrifice of virgins and boys to appease the wrath of the elves."

"But no one believes his words, after all, it is not easy for anyone's children to grow up, how can they be sent to the sea to feed the fish because of your words."

When Li Changkong heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.

It was common for the sea city to be windy, and he had spent a good time in the magic capital before crossing over.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a small wind in three days and a big wind in five days.

As Zhang San said, it should be a typhoon, but it is bigger and less common.

It would be foolish to sacrifice boys and girls because of this typhoon.

"And then?"

"Then, a few days later, the demonic wind passed through, and I waited to go out to check, and found that the existing houses were destroyed and some fishing boats were overturned."

"What's even more terrifying is that the rosewoods, which are growing just right and ready to be harvested, have either been uprooted or destroyed to the point that they can't be seen."

"If you take this kind of mahogany out to buy it, you are buying fake wood, and you will be chopped and stamped!"

"In addition, after the demon wind, it will rain heavily for several days."

"The villain felt that if he stayed in Yizhou like this, he was afraid that he would not live long, so he was ruthless and tried to make a living."

"Who would have thought that he would get sick on the way here, but this treatment cost most of the villain's savings."

Speaking of this, Zhang Laosan's eyes were red and swollen, and he actually shed tears.

Li Changkong saw that he was sincere and sincere, and it should not seem to be a lie.

But the stakes are high, so it's better to confirm: "Are you sure?" Is it true that all the mahogany in Yizhou has been destroyed? If you say half a lie, you know the consequences. ”

When Zhang Laosan heard this, he immediately recalled what Zhang Quan had told him before, and couldn't help but be frightened.

While bowing his head, he said hoarsely: "What the villain said is true!" ”

"I hope your Excellency will see it!"

When Li Changkong heard this, he nodded secretly, and then said, "Have you ever told others about this?" ”

When Zhang Laosan heard this, his head suddenly shook like a rattle: "The little one who only arrived in Qiandu this morning has never spoken to anyone except Gongzi about this. ”

Hearing this, Li Changkong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He stood up, threw out a piece of silver, and said, "It's yours." ”

"In addition, tell Zhang Quan that your medical expenses are waived, so I said it."

Zhang Laosan looked at the silver ingots on the ground, and for a while he couldn't tell whether this was an illusion or reality, and slapped himself hard, and only after feeling the pain did he suddenly wake up.

It's true!

This noble son in front of him is really a good person!

I'm afraid that the bodhisattvas in heaven are not so kind-hearted!

Hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and kept saying, "Thank you to Engong, thank you to Engong." ”

"Well, remember what you said, if there is half a lie, you will know the consequences."

"In addition, the destruction of the mahogany by the demon wind must not be said to anyone again, otherwise, be careful of inviting death. Have you ever understood? ”

"The little one understands, the little one understands!"

……

After coming out of Jishitang, Li Changkong's face was full of excitement.

I'm rich!
