The wheels grunted and spun rapidly, and a carriage approached the city gate in the evening, surrounded by guards in steady steps, dressed in green clothes and with a long knife pinned to their waists.

The city gate official glanced at the leading man, and the two sides just said hello tacitly and let them go.

"It's my fault, heh, to put this kind of person around. Leaning on the car board, Tang Xiaoyu held her forehead to self-examine, because it was related to the salt mine, she had to go out of the city overnight to the salt field to check the accounts, and Wan Ling went with her.

ended up in a dead end, she was really, stupid.

"When no one has seen away, we sent people to stare at Yun Chenlou, which is also a matter of the past four years. Wan Ling comforted Tang Xiaoyu as an elder and a person who came over, and she was relieved: "Shi Kite's case, more than ten years ago, involved the royal family and nobles, at that time, the county order was not Lord Sun, how can we hear the emperor's footing." ”

"Don't think about it, people are locked up in thousands of homes, and she can't make any waves. Wanling handed a piece of dried meat to the person with his head against his knees: "Eat something good, you will be in a good mood." ”

Tang Xiaoyu had a fire in her heart, she didn't feel annoyed that she had been let down, her anger was not that Shi Kite betrayed, but that she had ignored this line.

She took the dried meat, tore off a piece of it fiercely, chewed it a few times, and it was a little soft: "There has been too much rain this year, and the butcher shop is not dry enough." ”

"Who says it's not, three years of drought, one year of rain, life is sad, we Cao Gang used to rely on water to eat is also sad, now no matter whether it is drought or waterlogging, we don't have to worry about food and clothing. Wan Ling remembered that in the past, the rudder of the Cao Gang could only eat the ship, which led to the Fuhu Hall and the Weiwu Hall to become bigger, and the other halls were so poor that they were so poor, and then the drought for three years, the shipping was not popular, Tang Xiaoyu said that he wanted to open a salt well, Wan Ling had never sold salt, and he only knew that the brothers of the Salt Gang were fragrant and spicy.

If you want to snatch meat from the mouth of the salt gang, Fuhutang and Weiwutang don't do it, only Xinyi Tang and Zhizheng Tang are willing to give it a go.

Wanling felt that Tang Xiaoyu was right, relying only on shipping is relying on the sky to eat, and she also wanted to fight, so she used the assets of Wanjia, but she didn't want Tang Xiaoyu to really have the ability to dig gold mines, and the first salt well was brine.

Now, her days as a rudder are more beautiful than the rudder.

The brothers of Xintheran are even more nostrils.

The salt field is making money every day, Wan Ling has raised a fat chicken that lays golden eggs, and he is always afraid of people's worries; now Yun Zhenlou actually hides a person in the salt field, and Baili E has a great relationship with the county lord, Wan Ling was so frightened that he went up the mountain with Tang Xiaoyu overnight, just to know if Shi Kite had any internal and external cooperation and betrayed the Cao Gang.

"However, there is one thing I don't understand, why did King Liang, an old brute, leave Shi Yuan'er and her sister in the mansion for ten years, is it for the sake of Yun Chenlou?" Wan Ling changed his words, and said that he went back to Yun Chenlou, in the end, with the support of King Liang, she didn't ask clearly, she was uneasy: "Do you remember, my brother-in-law went to buy noodles five years ago, and was kidnapped halfway, Liao Shifei chased the brother of Xinyitang all the way before chasing people back." ”

"Remember, Xiaobai also smoothed a waist card of the bandits, and Sun Xianling, who was just a lifter, recognized that the waist card came from Liang Wangfu. "In broad daylight, there is nothing to fear, because of this old incident, Tang Xiaoyu knew that King Liang wanted Shi Kite, not only Shi Kite, but also other people who were taken away inexplicably: "Sun Juren rubbed the lines of the waist card to find Wu County Order, this Wu County Order received evidence, and he didn't dare to let go of the fart." ”

The villagers went to the county government to petition, but the Wu County Order simply closed the door and disappeared, Sun Ju was popular with the Wu County Order to be an official and not do anything for the people, and in a fit of anger, he took the villagers' papers and evidence, and quietly ran to the capital to find his classmates who were officials to help sue the royal court, so he also completely offended King Liang and broke his career.

Everyone said that good people are not rewarded, Tang Xiaoyu thought: the sky does not report her, and I don't know if Xiaobai has the blessing of the halo of the son of the system, and she is also smooth sailing, after Sun Juren sued the imperial court failed, there was a locust plague in the suburbs of Beijing, and rumors spread for a while, pointing out that the king of Liang was unkind and angry with the world, and the locusts could not be extinguished for a long time; for a while, the people's resentment was boiling, and the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty issued an edict against himself, and punished the king of Liang for guarding the temple without an edict, and the situation was calmed down.

Even so, Sun Juren's career is hopeless, Tang Xiaoyu simply donated a county order to Sun Juren, which will involve a line that she accidentally set up, which is all a later story.

Wan Ling smiled bitterly: "The people don't fight with the officials, how many people have died in King Liang's quest for the elixir, and the Shi Kite sisters can stay in the palace for ten years, isn't it that King Liang is very fond of Yun Zhenlou, and even the beauties sent by Baili E have to be lifted one or two." ”

Tang Xiaoyu knew what Wanling was worried about, but King Liang really didn't look down on Baili'e, and the county lord of Anping might not have a little sincerity for this male pet, the two were more like each other: "If you really lift Baili'e, you won't always treat him as a dog, and you won't even give him a false position, as for King Liang, we are both ordinary people, how can we understand what a madman thinks." "King Liang is stingy with Baili'e, to the point where he doesn't even want to give a certificate; as for lifting Shi Jing'er, he can't say anything, the old thing is addicted to alchemy, the more evil he becomes, Shi Jing'er is good at poison, maybe it has something to do with this.

Later, Shi Yuan'er and Wang Xiangfan eloped, which ruined the good things of the county lord, so Shi Jing'er pretended to assassinate the county lord and dragged the guards, otherwise how could they outrun the guards of the palace with their fists and legs.

The sister who protects her sister until she dies is a good person who is not rewarded.

Now it's not King Liang who is really worth worrying about, but Baili Jiyun's fiancée, but Tang Xiaoyu can't say it.

"But after all, he and the county lord are not clean, and I still don't feel at ease. Wanling couldn't hide his worries.

"He and the county lord are not clean, you are still the prince of Jieyi Township, they hugged the thigh of King Liang in Yunyunlou, and what we gave the prince was real money. ”

"It's also what I said~~~" Wan Ling was about to continue, and when she realized the meaning of Tang Xiaoyu's words, she screamed in surprise, and her eyes widened: "You said that the imperial court wanted to make me the king of the righteous township." "That's what this girl said, that's right!

Wan Ling's mind couldn't turn for a while, and he was afraid that he would hear something wrong, so he held back for a long time before he cautiously asked: "Sister, you didn't lie to me." ”

"As Sun County Commander told me, there is still a month to go, and the superintendent of the imperial history will come to Shuitian Town with the canonized edict and edict, sister, what's wrong with you. Tang Xiaoyu asked.

Wan Ling suppressed the urge to scream again, and covered her mouth tightly, her grandfather, her father couldn't look forward to it, she was waiting for it, she was a person with a title, and they were going to turn over!

"Sister, what's wrong with you, I don't want to. ”

No!

What to say!

Wan Ling hurriedly covered Tang Xiaoyu's mouth, the Son of Heaven gave it, the prince Baoju, what nonsense did he say, others couldn't look forward to it: "Who said no, I'm just crazy with joy, our family is about to be reborn." ”

"If you want to worship your ancestors, you want to set up a flowing water seat, let's invite the opera troupe to sing for three days and three nights. Wan Ling let go of the person, waved her big hand, her eyes were full of yearning, she had already thought of herself wearing a command uniform, raising her eyebrows in front of the ancestors and ancestors.

Guangzong Yaozu, she Wanling did it, Dad, your daughter did it!

Seeing Wanling's mouth upturned to the sky, although Tang Xiaoyu couldn't bear it, she still wanted to interrupt, she lowered her voice and said in Wanling's ear: "Sister, calm down, before you are crowned as a townsman, you have to quickly conceive the child, and after you are sealed, you can't do it." As soon as she found a candidate on the front foot, Sun County ordered the back foot to come to the door to say hello, the title is still what bullshit righteousness, a big hat is buttoned down, and how to borrow seeds to have children.

In fact, Ming Jian came at the right time, before the supervision of the imperial history, and this matter still has to be detoured.

"Kid, I'm afraid this kid is going to be terrible. Wan Ling pulled Tang Xiaoyu and purred, and the person also wilted: "It's that I think it's simple." ”

"Whether the child is born or not, we have to wait for us to arrange a meeting between Shi Kite and Ming Jian before making a decision. ”

"Can you still give birth?" Wan Ling frowned, the title and the child, naturally focus on the title, Wanjia already has a tiger; if there is no title, of course she will give birth, now there is a title, it's different: "No, sister, I won't give birth anymore, the title of Jieyi Xiangjun, Wanjia can't wait for another hundred years." "You can't be too greedy, God will punish you.

"Okay, that's all for this, and when the two people from Yunchen Lou meet, we'll plan again. Tang Xiaoyu said.

Okay, but why did Shi Kite and Ming Jian meet each other: "Is it necessary for them to meet?" Wan Ling didn't understand, there were many things she didn't understand, but she just believed Tang Xiaoyu.

Tang Xiaoyu coldly hooked the corners of her mouth, her eyes were full of calculating people's essence, she took a bite of the butcher's shop, and said darkly: "Shi Kite has received my favor, and it is time to really repay me." ”

"Sister, say something human, your sister can't understand. ”

"In a few days, you'll understand. Tang Xiaoyu sent Wanling away with the old saying, and then, leaning on the cushion of the carriage, he continued to calculate people leisurely.

The horse-drawn carriage carried people on the mountain road for a long time, it took three minutes to arrive at the destination, Tang Xiaoyu's salt field was opened on a flat slope of the mountains, there was a huge triangular wooden frame several zhang high on the wellhead, like a sleeping giant, there were more than 20 large wooden frames like this in the whole salt field, the number was still increasing, there were mill houses under the tripods, stove rooms, etc., boiling salt was completed in these houses, and the wooden houses stretched out around the salt wells, as if they were a village of their own.

Tang Xiaoyu went to the salt well to inspect, mostly during the day, the workshop was full of white mist and steaming, the stove Ding was shirtless around the cauldron to boil salt, each sweating like rain performed its duties, and she had not seen her for a long time after nightfall.

"Helmsman, hall master, why did you two come here in the middle of the night. Zheng Decai, the second head of the main hall, hurriedly came to greet people, he was in charge of patrolling the night today, so he was neatly dressed: "What's wrong." ”

"Let's go inside. Tang Xiaoyu said.

Zheng Decai immediately ordered someone to clean up the Treasure Hall and light the lamp, and as soon as Tang Xiaoyu sat down, he asked him to call all the stewards and accounts of Yanjing, along with the ledgers, to the Treasure Hall.

"Yes. ”

The owner came to check the accounts, and the steward and the account room rushed to the Treasure Hall from the bed, Tang Xiaoyu could still see Halazi from the faces of several of them, and she was afraid that these people were scared when she suddenly came.

All night, the treasure hall was filled with the sound of turning papers, and occasionally a few reprimands came. A group of stewards came out with a sigh of relief, and another group walked in with their heads bowed.

"Is the number right?" Wanling is not as fast as Tang Xiaoyu to read the accounts, she didn't go to make trouble, she sat on the side as a reprimand, and when the last group of account managers left, the cross window lattice had already lit up a corner: "It's going to be dawn, you listen to the sound outside." ”

Tang Xiaoyu pinched her eyebrows, didn't pay attention to the noise outside, she said tiredly: "That's right, it's okay, I'm just losing face." ”

"There is no danger, since it is right, let's go back, and the city gate will be opened after going down the mountain. ”

"Not yet. Tang Xiaoyu smiled helplessly at Wan Ling, who was rubbing his waist, stretched his waist greatly, and drank the cold tea on the table, the mountains were cold, the water was a little colder than the town, the ice water penetrated the intestines, and the people were sober.

She smacked her lips and said, "Since you are here, you will also make the matter of the theft of the drilling tool clear." ”

Wan Ling reluctantly said 'ah', and helplessly wanted to beat Tang Xiaoyu again, gritted his teeth and said: "Are you a thief, don't go empty." ”

"I am. ”

"Tell me, what did you steal. ”

"I think about stealing money from the God of Wealth every day. ”

"Haha, you, you're poor-mouthed. ”

"I didn't say it wasn't. ”

While the two teased, the outside of the house gradually lit up, and the sound of knocking was drowned in the noisy human voices, and the sound of Wan Ling was the sound of chopping bones in the kitchen, Tang Xiaoyu didn't say hello to Zheng Decai, and went directly to the kitchen.

The chef was also taken aback by Tang Xiaoyu.

"Hall Master. ”

"Keep doing your thing. "The long-term workers of Yanjing are hard, so they have to eat meat every other day, Tang Xiaoyu has instructed, not to buckle on the mouth and stomach, today is the day to eat meat, she saw the stitches to take a look.

"Hall Master, I'm going to have beef today. The chef smiled, beef and offal on the board, bones simmering in the pot.

Tang Xiaoyu smelled the broth: "It's very fragrant." ”

The salt farm raised a lot of cattle, which were used to push carts to draw brine, and the animal power was stronger than manpower, but the local cattle breeds were uneven, so every once in a while, there would be cattle who would retire honorably and be reemployed at the table.

Tang Xiaoyu actually had a plan to breed cattle, she wanted to cultivate cattle with strong endurance and weight-bearing capacity, but later she really didn't have this technical support, and she was not an animal husbandry expert, so she had to give up.
