Chapter Ninety-Six: A Few Thoughts and Feelings (Fourth Update)

A few days later, Zhao Li returned to the village with three boats and fifty-nine villagers.

Their village is called Kujing Village, and they have to go to the river to get water for drinking, and when the village drills a well, it is a bitter brine well.

It was poorer than Xiaqiu Village, and this time I couldn't help it, so I took the risk of buying a salt guide, took the salt, and brought my own salt to sell outside.

On the way back, Zhao Li and the others didn't dare to stop at all, and drank river water when they were thirsty.

The dry cakes and pickles delivered by Xiaqiu Village when I am hungry are particularly delicious, and they are better than the normal meals in my own village.

Hurried all the way, after returning to the village, everyone was dumbfounded, the people from the imperial court came, looking for someone to dig a well there, and the original well was boiled.

When he went back, he passed by Dangtu County, and Zhao Li asked the officials, and the officials said that after the city was closed at night, the convoy from Xiaqiu Village could enter the city.

Zhao Li was in a hurry, it turned out that Xiaqiu Village had a connection with the imperial court, so let him sell it again, hurry!

I didn't expect it to be as fast as the imperial court, what about the last time I said it?

"Zhao Li?" An official brought someone close to him.

"Sun Zhizhou?" Zhao Li looked at the other party's official uniform, looked at the official uniform of the person next to him, thought about the information he knew, and guessed and asked.

"Hmmm! The local area was requisitioned by the imperial court, and you were allowed to sell bitter salt once every half a month, sell it three times, and then dare to sell it after three times, so as private salt. ”

Sun Zhizhou didn't want to say more, according to his own intentions, he didn't give a chance, but unfortunately someone from the palace was standing next to him!

The person who came didn't say his identity, but in fact he was a eunuch next to Queen Ma.

Queen Ma is careful, she is afraid that the local officials will fool around, other things are good, if this village does not send bitter salt to Xiaqiu Village, how to rebuild the trust between the two sides?

In fact, it is not to protect the village, but to protect Sun Zhizhou and other officials, you are disobedient and make decisions without permission, so you can only borrow your heads.

The eunuchs beside Empress Ma knew very well what they should do, and he himself brought four men and recruited 200 people in Ruzhou under the pretext of imperial labor.

The 200 men said yes, and they would pay 20 cents a day for each of them.

The money came out from Kujing Village, and 200 people helped to smoke and cook the brine, so that the village could make more money.

The conscripts are crazy with joy, and there are such good things? Give money for service, give so much?

After Zhao Li inquired, the matter was clear, his sweat wet his clothes, and it would be very cold tomorrow.

Once again, he deeply understood the strength of Xiaqiu Village, and he really didn't care about 50,000 yuan.

The lieutenant chief, who looked very kind, was able to mobilize the court officials and the eunuchs in the palace.

At the same time, he didn't understand that you could ask the officials of Ning Guofu to eat and stay in your village, and ask the officials of Taiping Mansion to open the city gate for you.

You still have contact with the court and the people in the palace, why are you just a lieutenant?

I'm also the lieutenant, why can't I? I don't know the governor of a single state, so I can only guess.

After thinking about it, he gave up pursuing the final answer, took out the money to show his villagers, and earned, more than 50,000 yuan!

"Quick, go to smoke and boil the marinade, just three times, once for half a month, you don't need to buy salt, and you will get the money when you send it over.

Listen to me, everyone should not cook by themselves, and those who are selected to cook should cook for everyone every day.

Draw people out to work, don't worry about the things in your own family, where we sell bitter salt, people in the village build two-story buildings! More than 600 large animals, light glass lanterns......"

Zhao Li's whole body was excited, shouting and telling his own people.

He is stimulated, anxious, and there is no harm without contrast.

The villagers of Kujing Village are also short of breath, but some people are still holding back.

"How do you know it's okay? When I first said chartering, I thought...... Hey, you hit me, you all beat me, you forget me...... Don't fight......"

There was a thorn in the head, and he used to be domineering in the village, but as a result, fifty-nine people who went out with the captain came up and beat him.

Originally, they didn't want to provoke this person, but now they are different, they have seen the prosperity outside and the wealth of Xiaqiu Village.

Whoever dares to stop them from making money, they will fight with whomever they want, and what about your seven brothers? All killed.

Sun Zhizhou saw that he was hit in front of him, stepped forward, and was stopped by the eunuch: "Sun Zhizhou! It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and the affairs of other people's villages are their own, and they have not reported to the officials, you say that the queen beats the prince, do I dare to stop it? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine, right?" Sun Zhizhou turned his head and was concerned.

"Slap twice on the back or something, don't tell others!" The eunuch lowered his voice.

"Who am I telling to go? No one else believes it! Let's go over there and see where the brine well is drilled. ”

Sun Zhizhou turned around and left, he was just looking for a reason, he didn't think that the queen would spank the prince's butt at all, the prince was probably beaten when he was a child.

Wow wow cry, it's fun. It's like when I was beaten when I was a kid and hit my own children.

Thorn and his six brothers are beaten, and the lieutenant draws a knife and threatens to kill them, and they finally understand the consequences of preventing the rest of the village from living a good life.

One by one, they expressed their willingness to join, work hard, and don't kill them.

……

Sixteen days later, Zhao Li arrived in Xiaqiu Village with a thousand stones of relatively pure bitter salt, and this time there were many villagers.

The people hired by the eunuch helped to smoke and cook the stew, so everyone had to take a look, including the seven prickly brothers before.

One stone is 100 liters, according to the specific gravity of salt, and the capacity of one liter in the current dynasty, it is almost 400 catties.

One thousand stones is 400,000 catties, and two catties are counted as one penny, these 200,000 wen.

The houses in Xiaqiu Village were all completed, the houses of the four families in Xihe Village were all built, and the chief also gave some good coal to the 11 families who had been burned with firewood, telling them how to prevent charcoal poisoning.

In addition to the people who have come before, the others are still suspicious, there is a village that can come up with 200,000 Wen?

They were coming, about ten o'clock.

The people of Xiaqiu Village were busy cooking and celebrating, and the people who worked did not leave, ate together, and looked for them when there were other tasks in the future.

The prefect of Ningguo Mansion is here, and the people in Xiaqiu Village belong to moving to a new house today to burn the stove, which means that no one will eat there.

The officials of the Taiping Mansion did not come, but they sent congratulatory gifts, mainly written words and painted paintings, which were not framed.

Zhu Wentian knows how to frame, but he won't waste that time, Xuancheng is a city of culture, and there is everything.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone have been prevalent here in Anhui for more than 1,000 years, and Zhu Wentian does not think that he is better than a professional in this regard.

Today, the main pig sewerage, purchased from Xuancheng and Dangtu, the day before yesterday posted a notice, and the pigs in other counties of the two prefectures were purchased at a high price.

Ning Guofu naturally took it with him when he left, and Taiping Mansion arranged for someone to send it, and it was all done.

As soon as the people from Kujing Village came, after docking at the dock, they were all empty-hearted.

Today is a festive day, Xiaqiu Village has changed into silk clothes, silk is not worn, silk is also a kind of silk, but not as good as silk.

Silk ribbon pattern, silk texture is simple, and silk, silk is the same as silk, silk is white scarf, silk is not cotton and linen, but also silk.

"He, aren't they afraid of overstepping?" One of the seven people who was beaten was so desperate that he could not change into that outfit himself.
