Chapter 97 How many emotions are hidden (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. To drink water, you have to get it from the river. When a well is dug in the village, it is called Kujing Well.

It was even poorer than Xiaqiu Village. This time I couldn't bear it anymore, so I took the risk to buy a salt guide, took the salt, and took my own salt to sell outside.

On the way back, Zhao Li and others did not dare to stop. They drank from the river when they were thirsty.

When you are hungry, eat the dry biscuits and pickles provided by Xiaqiu Village. They are very delicious and better than the normal meals in your own village.

After rushing all the way, everyone was dumbfounded when they returned to the village. People from the court came to find someone to dig a well, and the original well was pumped and stewed.

When he passed through Dangtu County on his way back, Zhao Li asked an official, and the official told him that after the city was closed at night, the convoy from Xiaqiu Village could enter the city.

Zhao Li was anxious. It turned out that Xiaqiu Village had a connection with the imperial court and asked him to sell it again. Hurry!

Unexpectedly, I still can't beat the imperial court. What's the last time I agreed?

"Zhao Li?" An official led someone to him.

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

"Well! The local area has been requisitioned by the imperial court. You are allowed to sell bitter salt once every half month and three times. If you dare to sell it after three times, it will be treated as private salt."

Sun Zhizhou didn't want to say more. According to his own wishes, he wouldn't give him a chance. It's a pity that someone from the palace was standing nearby!

The person who came did not reveal his identity. In fact, he was the eunuch beside Queen Ma.

Empress Ma is careful and is afraid that local officials will make mistakes. If other things are fine, if this village does not send bitter salt to Xiaqiu Village, how can it rebuild the trust between the two parties?

In fact, it is not to protect the village, but to protect Sun Zhizhou and other officials. You are disobedient and make decisions without authorization. I can only use your heads.

The eunuch beside Queen Ma knew very well what he should do. He brought four men himself and recruited 200 people in Ruzhou on the pretext of the imperial court's labor force recruitment.

The two hundred people agreed to serve this year's hard labor and at the same time, each person would be given twenty cents per day.

The money comes from Kujing Village, and 200 people help pump and cook the stew, allowing the village to make more money.

The people who were drafted were so happy that they could get such a good thing? They were given money for serving, so much?

After Zhao Li inquired, the matter was explained clearly. His clothes were wet with sweat, and it would be very cold tomorrow.

Once again, he deeply understood how powerful Xiaqiu Village was, and he really didn't care about 50,000 yuan.

The seemingly amiable chief was actually able to mobilize the court officials and palace eunuchs.

At the same time, he didn't understand that you could ask officials from Ningguo Prefecture to come to your village for meals and accommodation, and ask officials from Taiping Prefecture to open the city gate for you.

You still have connections with the imperial court and people in the palace, why do you just act as the chief?

I'm also the head of the district, so why can't I? I saw that I didn't know any of the prefects in my state, so I could only guess.

After thinking about it, he gave up searching for the final answer, took out the money and showed it to his villagers, and made more than 50,000 yuan!

"Quickly, go cook the brine three times, for half a month at a time. You don't need to buy any salt. You can just send it over and get the money.

Listen to me, everyone should not cook for themselves. The people who are elected to cook should cook for everyone every day.

Get people out to work, don't worry about things at home, the place where we sell bitter salt, every family in the village builds a two-story building! There are more than 600 big animals, light the glazed lanterns..."

Zhao Li became excited and shouted to tell his people.

He was stimulated and anxious. Without comparison, there would be no harm.

The villagers in Kujing Village were also short of breath, but there were still some who were holding back.

"How do you know it will work? When we first talked about renting a boat, I thought... Hey, if you hit me, you all hit me. You forget yourself... don't fight..."

He had a prickly head, and he was used to being domineering in the village. As a result, he was beaten by fifty-nine people who grew up in the village.

Originally they were unwilling to provoke this person, but now they have seen the prosperity outside and the wealth of Xiaqiu Village.

They will fight anyone who dares to stop them from making money. What about the seven brothers in your family? Beat them all to death.

When Sun Zhizhou saw that he was being slapped in the face, he took a step forward and was stopped by the eunuch: "Sun Zhizhou! It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. The village's own affairs are not reported to the official. If you say that the queen is beating the prince, I dare to stop it.

?"

"Is Your Highness the Crown Prince okay?" Sun Zhizhou turned his head, concerned.

"Slap your back and butt twice, don't tell anyone else!" the eunuch lowered his voice.

"Who should I tell you to go? Others don't believe it! Let's go over there and see the place where the brine well is dug."

Sun Zhizhou turned around and left. He was just looking for an excuse. He didn't think the queen would spank the prince at all. The prince was probably spanked when he was a child.

Crying, it's very funny. It's like when I was beaten when I was a child, and then I beat my own child.

Thornhead and his six brothers were beaten up, and the village leader took out a knife and threatened to kill them. They finally understood the consequences of preventing other people in the village from living a good life.

One by one, express their willingness to join and work hard. Don't kill them.

…

Sixteen days later, Zhao Li arrived at Xiaqiu Village with a thousand stones of relatively pure bitter salt. This time more villagers came.

The eunuch hired people to help cook the stew, so everyone should take a look, including the seven thorn-headed brothers from before.

One stone is one hundred liters. According to the specific gravity of salt and the capacity of one liter in the current dynasty, it is almost four hundred kilograms.

One thousand shi is equivalent to 400,000 jins, and two jins is equivalent to one penny, so these are 200,000 jins.

The houses in Xiaqiu Village happened to be completed, and the houses of the four families in Xihe Village were all built. The village chief also gave some good coal to the eleven families who were burned by firewood, and told them how to prevent charcoal poisoning.

Except for those who have been here before, everyone in Kujing Village still doubts that any village can produce 200,000 yuan?

They came right on time, around ten o'clock.

The people in Xiaqiu Village are busy cooking to celebrate. Don't leave those who are working. Let's eat together and look for them when we have other work in the future.

The prefect of Ningguo Prefecture is here. Today, Xiaqiu Village is moving to a new house to burn stoves. I mean, no one will eat there.

The officials from Taiping Prefecture did not come, but they sent congratulatory gifts, mainly written calligraphy and paintings, which were not framed. This person from Xiaqiu Village went to Xuancheng to find someone to frame them.

Zhu Wentian knows how to frame it, but he won't waste that time. People say that Chengcheng is a cultural city and has everything.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone have been popular here in Anhui for more than a thousand years. Zhu Wentian does not think that he is better than professionals in this aspect.

Today we mainly do pig offal, purchased from Xuancheng and Dangtu. Notices were posted the day before yesterday. Pig offal from other counties in the two prefectures are purchased at high prices.

Naturally, those from Ningguo Mansion should be taken with them when leaving. Taiping Mansion will arrange for people to deliver them, and they will all be well prepared.

As soon as the people from Kujing Village arrived and docked at the dock, they all felt guilty.

Today is a festive day. People in Xiaqiu Village have changed into silk and satin clothes, and they have stopped wearing silk clothes. Silk is also a kind of silk, but it is not as good-looking as satin.

The silk has a pattern, and the texture of the silk is simple, just like the silk. The silk is a white scarf. The silk is not cotton or linen, but also silk.

"Aren't they afraid of going beyond the rules?" One of the seven people who was beaten wished he could change into that outfit.
