Chapter 926: Door-to-door

Jiang Xiaoxiao went to Fucheng in recent days and bought a lot of books, including historical books about this dynasty and various books.

Of course, I also heard a lot of various news in the teahouse and study room. To sum up, it is really not easy to live a stable life here. The people here are living in dire straits.

She now wants to go directly to Fucheng No. 1 from here, but her road guide doesn't work.

In the past few days, after listening to the news for a long time, I found out that in the letter left by the original owner, it was really difficult for her to impersonate the identity of this young lady, because this young lady’s family had been confiscated and her family had been exterminated.

To put it bluntly, since she is a traitor, if Jiang Xiaoxiao shows up in place of Miss Jiang Xuemei, I am afraid that she will be immediately arrested as a criminal and used as an official slave.

 In this day and age, it is difficult for you to move without a guide.

 Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little discouraged.

No. 10 is hidden so deep that it’s not easy for her to find it.

It's really not that easy to find No. 10 quietly, and now it's even harder to leave this small place.

Since we can’t leave, we have to put down roots here and live here first.

But as an ordinary person, it is not easy now. I have never heard that the villagers in this village are not only suffering from the scourge of taxes from officers and soldiers, but also the scourge of bandits, plus various robberies and scourges of foreign tribes. She wants to live here. , I really need to think of something.

 Become bigger and stronger and become the overlord of one party. Maybe it will be easier to find out the news about No. 10.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was worried. She really didn’t want to be the overlord and dominate the world.

 We are a modern young woman with ideals and pursuits.

  What is this?

 The banknote is divided into three parts.

 One copy was given to Li Tieniu.

Li Tieniu looked at it, his eyes full of doubts, but he didn't ask.

 What kind of trust is this?

Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed. She had the complete trust of others, but unfortunately she was still doing it for the mission.

“Originally, it was agreed that our family would share half of the silver, but I thought that once the autumn harvest begins, foreigners will definitely try their best to come over to grab the grain, and the bandits will also start coveting it.

Compared with the surrounding villages, our village is the weakest, and the persimmons are weak. In this case, the silver was divided into three. The villagers get a share to improve the lives of their families and repair their houses, and I get another share.

Our two families will combine the remaining money and use it to build some walls around the village as fortifications. In this way, we can resist on the spot once there are invasions and harassments by bandits and foreigners.

 It’s better to avoid being plundered by these bandits and foreigners every year. "

 “But we don’t have enough manpower!”

Li Tieniu actually knew that once the city wall was built, their place would be like a garrison for the officers and soldiers.

 It is much safer and easier to defend. It is better than now when the village is open and people can rush in and rob it at will.

 You can advance, attack, retreat or defend.

 But there are many young and old in the village, and not many young and middle-aged people really want to do this kind of physical work.

 Without young adults to step up, you can’t do it.

"I thought about it. I saw a lot of displaced people in the market of Yanmenguan Fucheng. Our village has a small population. We should bring those people to our village. On the one hand, we can provide them with food and accommodation, and on the other hand, we can They did the work for us, first helping us build the city wall.

It not only solves their food and clothing problem, but also allows them to help us solve the problem of repairing the city wall. This is not two birds with one stone. "

 Li Tieniu was overjoyed.

"good idea!"

Zhaojiabao built a city wall to protect their village, but in their minds, those walls cost a lot of money, and they couldn't build them casually.

 But now that Jiang Xiaoxiao said it, Li Tieniu suddenly felt that their village had suddenly become taller.

 As soon as he said it, Li Tieniu was ready to find someone.

There are many people homeless in Yanmen Pass due to the war.

 Nearly all of them sold their sons and daughters.

The government doesn't care, these people's survival really depends on luck.

Now I don’t know how many people are willing to take care of a meal.

"Don't worry, the autumn harvest is coming these days, and the price of food has also come down. We need to stock up on more food, and we will save money to buy food when the time comes."

Jiang Xiaoxiao considered that her food could be used in disguised form.

 Subsidize these refugees.

Looking at the refugees in Yanmen Pass who were dressed in rags and scrawny, dragging their families with them, putting straw tags on them, waiting to be sold.

Jiang Xiaoxiao could not remain indifferent.

 The government is corrupt, the country is in decline, and the people here are living a life worse than death.

 It may become a luxury to have enough to live on.

Jiang Xiaoxiao really couldn't stand by and watch.

  Can't leave now anyway.

Then just do what you can.

 Change the fate of some people.

Li Tieniu touched his head and smiled honestly.

"Young Master Jiang is still great. Now is indeed the best time to hoard food. Instead of taking advantage of those food dealers and squeezing us, we should keep it to eat."

 At this moment, Lin Dawang came in with someone.

Lin Dawang found out early in the morning that Li Tieniu and Mr. Jiang were discussing something.

There was no one to report the news. In fact, Lin Dawang was quick on his feet and barged in directly.

 “Li Tieniu, Mr. Jiang!”

“Brother Lin, what are you doing? If you have anything to do, let’s go out and talk. Don’t disturb Mr. Jiang’s rest.”

Li Tieniu was a little unhappy.

They have always respected Jiang Xiaoxiao here, and the villagers in the village respect Jiang Xiaoxiao.

 Normally no one bothers Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Lin Dawang glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Master Jiang, Li Tieniu, you have such a good business and you are going behind my back, Lin Dawang. After all, we are brothers who have lived together through life and death. Isn't it a bit unfair to do this?"

Lin Dawang found a chair and sat down on his own. It was obvious that he would not leave.

 Li Tieniu was anxious.

Jiang Xiaoxiao waved his hand, Lin Dawang was different from Li Tieniu. This person probably knew about Li Tieniu selling snowflake salt.

 Money and silk move people's hearts.

 This is urgent.

"Brother Lin, what do you mean? You can make it more clear."

Jiang Xiaoxiao patted Li Tieniu on the shoulder and sat down as well.

Li Tieniu felt those few blows on his shoulder and suddenly felt at ease.

 What can Lin Dawang do?

 With Li Tieniu here, how can he still bully Young Master Jiang?

　　also sat down steadily.

"Yes, Brother Lin, please explain clearly? Why are we not being honest?"

Lin Dawang glanced at Li Tieniu in surprise. Li Tieniu was so frightened by what he had been saying just now that he was like a guilty-minded thief. Mr. Jiang stabilized Li Tieniu in just one move.

 It seems that Mr. Jiang is more powerful than he thought.

"Li Tieniu, what happened to the snowflake salt? Don't deny it. My people saw you delivering salt to the Wu family in Yanmenguanfu City, and what you delivered was snowflake salt. How can you be the only one in such a good business? If there is money, we should all make it together!”

Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed.

“Brother Lin, don’t you blush when you say this?”

Lin Dawang’s face was really burning.

　　Why is it not red?

  with each company selling salt separately. Each company has different capital, so how can they do it together?

Wouldn’t that mean losing money?
