Chapter 927: refugee
Chapter 927 Refugees
"Young Master Jiang, Li Tieniu, people in the know don't tell secrets. It was my Lin Dawang's fault that I, Lin Dawang, had poor discernment in the past, but the villagers of Linjia Village were right. Let's not talk about the past. I only hope that Young Master Jiang and Li Tieniu will be better in the future. You can also do business with us.
Let everyone earn money together. Mr. Jiang, I know you are very capable. We are just ordinary people, so I beg you to give us some guidance. From now on, our two villages will help each other and become true brothers.
Earn money together when there is money, and bear it together when there are difficulties. "
Lin Dawang was simply happy.
Pour it out in a flash.
On the contrary, Li Tieniu was speechless.
Just now, I saw Lin Dawang looking like he was raising an army to accuse him, but immediately he became groveling.
It’s a very powerful method.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Dawang with interest. This Lin Dawang was quite a talent.
Completely different from Li Tieniu.
When such a person uses it well, it is like a knife, and it doesn’t matter who the blade is pointed at.
They are still very weak now, and it is better to do less than to do more.
certainly! Jiang Xiaoxiao was thinking further.
If a large group of bandits or foreigners really plundered, Li Tieniu and the others would not be invincible alone.
Eighteen people are still too thin.
I have never heard of a village being massacred by hundreds of bandits.
Survival does not depend on fighting alone.
It is a good thing that Lin Dawang is willing to tie them up with a rope.
"Brother Lin, you can give me advice. Giving advice means you have to listen to me. I wonder if Brother Lin thinks it's possible? If you don't listen to my instructions, you won't make any money, and you might even be killed. This is not a lie. "
It’s not that Jiang Xiaoxiao can’t help.
I just don’t know if Lin Dawang can listen.
No one can earn all the money at once.
Lin Dawang became more energetic when he heard this. Since Mr. Jiang agreed, it would be easy to handle.
“Young Master Jiang, don’t worry. We in Linjia Village will listen to you. We will do whatever Mr. Jiang says.”
He just thought about the white snowflakes and salt. For the sake of money, it was nothing to make him obedient.
Even if he is asked to call Mr. Jiang his ancestor, there will be no problem.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Brother Lin, you don't want to sell any salt you still have."
Lin Dawang is stupid and won’t sell it! ?
"Mr. Jiang, we still have two thousand kilograms of private salt. You also know that the last time we brought back a lot of private salt, we have sold more than two thousand kilograms in the past few days since we came back. The remaining two thousand kilograms are not for sale. , this thing is like a firecracker.
It's not safe to leave it at home. If one person is not good enough, if someone reports on it, the whole village will lose their heads. Even if they don't report on it, they will have to pay taxes immediately. You really can't put this salt away. "
Lin Dawang was so anxious that he got angry.
Who can rush to put this private salt at home without fear of losing their head?
“Li Tieniu, take two people and teach them how to make snowflake salt, and then send them to the Wu family in exchange for silver to build the city wall like us.”
Li Tieniu happily agreed, not at all upset because of Jiang Xiaoxiao's words.
“Okay, Brother Lin, let’s go.”
Lin Dawang asked innocently, "Can you make snowflake salt?"
Who are you lying to?
If someone in Lijiacun could make snowflake salt, could Lijiacun have declined to the extent it is today?
Li Tieniu pulled him and left, "You follow me and find two smart, patient and meticulous boys. I will teach you how to make snowflake salt. This snowflake salt was the idea of Mr. Jiang."
It is said to be recorded in ancient books. We people can’t read a single Chinese character. It’s strange that we have to know it. People say that scholars are great. Now I know that Mr. Jiang is very good at reading. It’s really easy to make some money casually.
From now on, if you follow Mr. Jiang, you will have a good life for everyone. You are right to listen to Mr. Jiang. "
Lin Dawang felt dizzy, and his mind felt like thunder.
Mr. Jiang is so awesome! ?
One day later, Lin Dawang clapped his thigh excitedly when he saw the white snowflake salt really coming out of his hands, like frost and snow, as white as jade.
“Mr. Jiang, a man of God!”
Jiang Xiaoxiao specifically told Lin Dawang not to reveal his identity when delivering salt.
Lin Dawang agreed wholeheartedly.
Two thousand kilograms of private salt turned into 1,800 kilograms of snowflake salt. This was partly because their people did not believe that they could pour a tank of salt water, otherwise there would be more.
But it’s exciting enough now.
Twelve taels of silver per pound, just counting it makes people crazy.
Lin Dawang and Li Tieniu delivered salt, and Jiang Xiaoxiao followed them to Fucheng and Dongshi.
There is now the base camp for refugees, surrounded by the dilapidated City God Temple, and all the refugees are in ragged clothes.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was accompanied by five boys from his Lijia Village, all of whom were strong young men in their 17s and 18s.
As soon as they said they needed someone to work and take care of the food, they were immediately surrounded by people. They all stretched out their hands and wanted to follow Jiang Xiaoxiao right away.
Jiang Xiaoxiao still picked some people. Among the refugees, there were also some oily people who were not diligent in their limbs and could not distinguish between grains and grains. There were also grown men who wanted to cheat and eat ready-made food. Jiang Xiaoxiao picked those who were dragging their families. The family members who brought the mouth were taken back.
Such people will also work well for their families.
Eighty households were selected at once, with a total of 400 people.
As soon as he said he would follow Jiang Xiaoxiao, no one hesitated.
They are not worried about being cheated. Even if they are cheated, what else can be done to them?
People are starving to death. If they can be tricked into giving them food, they will admit it.
Jiang Xiaoxiao really didn't want to pick people like cattle, but unfortunately others didn't have this idea. They were looking for people to go back to work, not to take them back to be their grandfathers.
The other five people were picking and picking. There were also families selling children and women in their village. They had not learned how to pick people, nor had they seen how to buy people.
It is still possible to imitate cats and imitate tigers.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others took people back. The carriage was pulling salt. Even if someone on the road looked like they were about to faint, Jiang Xiaoxiao still had a hard heart and refused to let them get on the carriage.
Horses and carriages cannot solve the problem.
Back to the village, someone had already driven the carriage back in advance.
Several aunts in the village have already cooked rice porridge, which is neither thin nor thick. Several large pots are set up on the threshing floor. Those who arrive are taken to take a hot bath first.
After a bowl of hot porridge was eaten, everyone immediately held the bowl and cried, wishing to kneel down and kowtow to the whole village.
But to make it clear, one bowl per person and half a bowl for the child.
The aunt who served the porridge made it clear that it was not that they were not allowed to eat, but that they had been hungry for so long and could not eat too much.
In fact, all the aunts feel distressed. This grain is new grain that Li Tieniu collected from other villages.
They didn’t dare to eat like this, so now they feed it to these refugees, but they all look pitiful.
They didn’t say anything. Their family had also experienced such a famine.
Escape is not the same thing.
That night, the refugees settled into unoccupied houses in the village one by one.
There is definitely no bedding. If you have something to bring with you, just make do with it.
It's not yet winter yet, so people won't be freezing.
