Chapter 36 News

When everyone thinks of this, almost everyone is excited. The desire of the farming people for land is incomprehensible to fishing and hunting civilizations or nomadic civilizations, and is even more distant from the science and technology and industrial civilizations of later generations.

In this era, land deeds with land deeds are more attractive than gold, silver and treasures. Land deeds are the good things that can be passed on to future generations, and will protect future generations from generation to generation. The superior can comfort the ancestors and the inferior can be admired and respected by future generations. Even after several generations, when the descendants burn incense, they will point to the portrait sign and say: Our land deeds are all set by this ancestor!

There are really few people who can keep calm when thinking of such a scene.

"You donkeys and horses are shot, dog-sucking bastards..." Han Sen cursed not far away: "Just thinking about good, not bad? With Yang Shida here, how can we take action after salt? Now that the grain is about to be eaten up, we will be robbed of money and food when we go out to buy food, and people will be either beaten or kidnapped. Now the war in Huai'an City is in chaos, and even if the deputy thousand households come forward to the city, no one cares about our lives or death. Just thinking about good things, he will think about how to pass this level before talking about it."

Han Sen has always had a cold face and a stinky mouth, and this chief official is so annoying.

But this time, after hearing Han Sen's words, everyone was silent.

Everyone had a faint uneasiness in their eyes. In the morning, the news that the second girl from the Wang family came to report the news had spread. Min Yuanjin, Liang Shifa and others from the 300th household were arrested and they were inevitably beaten, and they might lose their lives.

Wang Sanyi is at least a hundred households, and it is also a disaster for fish. It is estimated that the matter is not serious and may be released after being locked up for a few days. What the Wang family is dissatisfied with is that Wang Sanyi was insulted, and the other is the loss of food robbery. The Wang family Dalang is a scholar-in-law. Since he is going to Huai'an Prefecture City to take charge, the government will at least have a response?

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

If it is really frozen like Han Sen said, what is the point of spending hundreds of taels of silver to make this salt pond? Isn’t it that someone has strangled his neck, unable to move, and unable to breathe?

Han Sen continued: "I will go to Suocheng now and see Li Qianhu and Deputy Min Qianhu, a salt owl openly arresting the flag army of the military household garrison. The superiors must give an explanation!"

Min Yuanjin and others' families were also there. After hearing Han Sen's words, everyone quickly said, "Everything depends on General Han's flag."

Han Sen nodded and walked calmly to the side of Yantian. He had already prepared and the donkey was ready.

As he was about to go, Han Sen suddenly turned around, clasped his fists at Min Yuanqi, and said, "Master Baihu, is it feasible to do this? Please tell me."

Min Yuanqi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "You don't understand the situation in the city now. It's useless to go to the Wang family. As for our Qianhu, it's not enough to rely on it. Can he offend the Yang brothers for a few small flags and flag soldiers? Even if Qianhu makes a name for himself, Yang Shida will not pay attention to it. The current situation is very different from before. However, it's not a bad thing for you to go there, go."

There was still a clear look of determination between Han Sen's eyebrows. This man is quite stubborn and even the nine-headed cows cannot be pulled back.

The difference this time is that Han Sen stood up and asked Min Yuanqi for instructions. This change is quite obvious. If Han Sen wanted to leave half a month ago, he would leave directly. He is the general banner. Although Min Yuanqi will definitely pick up hundreds of households, he still has the word "test" now and is not very authoritative. Han Sen was already responsible for going north before this. It is simply a de facto hundred households. The difference between the two is just because of the different inheritances of the people. Han Sen was not convinced by Min Yuanqi at all.

Half a month ago, if someone told Han Sen that he would ask Min Yuanqi for instructions in advance, this black-faced man would probably have to raise his head and laugh for a long time, and then curse.

Now, Han Sen doesn’t think there is anything wrong with asking for instructions. After seeing the banner soldiers around him, he doesn’t think there is anything wrong with asking for instructions.

Han Sen left quickly and took away a lot of hope from the flag army. Everyone still hoped that this matter could be solved smoothly on the official side. With the large salt pond in front of him, everyone hoped to restore a peaceful and stable life as soon as possible, and then they would suffer every day, even from morning to night, as long as they could earn more money, any hard work would be no problem.

Many people also looked at Min Yuanqi, but most of them were hesitant and hesitant. What are the constitutions of the Hundred Houses? What are their ideas? How to break the deadlock?

No one wants to know yet, nor do they know what Min Yuanqi thinks and practices they think.

People are temporarily placing their hopes on Wang Mingyuan, the eldest son of Wang Sanyi’s households. This person is not an ordinary person. He not only has a vocational position in a hundred households, but also has the identity of a scholar’s ​​husband. Next year is the year of the provincial examination, and the year after that will be the year of the imperial examination. No one can say whether Xiao Wang’s husband can win in a row.

Even if the military generals are becoming more and more rebellious now, the idea of ​​civil servants being superior to military servants is still deeply rooted. Especially in the areas from the Jianghuai to Jiangnan, the literary style is prosperous, the scholar's husband has great energy and a great voice. This is not the northwest and Shandong of Henan and Shandong, which are war-torn and the fierce folk customs. It is mainly Huai'an and Yangzhou to Jiangnan, and it has not been affected by war at all. Therefore, it still maintains the inheritance and old atmosphere accumulated over the past 200 years of Ming Dynasty... People still believe in the power of the government and give Wang Mingyuan a lot of trust and hope for Wang Mingyuan's identity as a scholar.

Min Yuanqi had no plans to say much. He knew much more clearly in his heart than the people in front of him, and it was futile, but it would be better to ask them to touch the wall first.

Min Yuanqi walked to Liu De, Li Zhang family, Shen family and others. A group of craftsmen were originally squatting to rest, but quickly stood up.

"There are no major crafts to do for the time being." Min Yuanqi said: "The craftsmen of the households will be dismissed after the development of their wages. What do you think? If you don't want to stay, go back to Qianhu Suo City. If you think this is good, stay first. If Yang Shida's affairs are solved, they will continue to build salt ponds in the future. Then there will be no need for civilian craftsmen. You will take the lead and take the flag army to work. If you have money and grain, you can pay you another wage in addition to four liters of grain every day. Now during this period, each family will still receive four liters of grain a day, and even if you have nothing to do... I can't promise you too much now. The trouble has not been resolved. It is useless to say too much. Stay or not. You will discuss it yourself and then tell me."

Min Yuanqi naturally hoped that these craftsmen could stay. Whether they were stone, wood, mud, or blacksmiths, they all had special skills, so it was hard to say what they needed to do if they went on.

For the blacksmith, if the level is sufficient and brings a group of disciples, he will create enough weapons and armor, and the strength of the entire hundred households will be able to increase.

It’s not impossible to buy it. Many towns have blacksmiths in households, who can fight from farm tools to weapons. However, military blacksmiths have the heritage of creating weapons and armor. This thing is not made at will, and private blacksmiths may not be able to do it. Moreover, Min Yuanqi knew that the Jianghuai area would soon be in chaos. He had craftsmen in his hands, which was much better than not being able to buy things everywhere with money at that time!

"I'll thank you Lord Baihu..."

Liu De and others were quite surprised and moved.

The project here is over for the time being. Whether or not to do it next has to wait. One is to wait for the salt pond to produce salt, and the other is that Yang Shida’s matter is not solved, and he cannot get food in and salt cannot get out. Even if the salt pond produces silver, it will be useless.

They were originally worried, but the craftsmen of the household were waiting to pay the money and leave, but they were at a loss and didn't know what to do next.

At this moment, the young master of the test household was paying attention to their next plan and gave them quite generous conditions.

Liu De and others agreed immediately, and returned to Qianhusuo City and continued to be bullied and exploited. They only had four dou of food every month, and sometimes four dou were insufficient, and they were mixed with sand and stones, and they had to be withheld and exploited by the military officers in charge of the craftsmen. Whoever wanted to go back would be foolish and crazy.

There will be no one coming to Suocheng to ask for people. After all, the Min family is deeply rooted in Dahewei, and it is not worth taking serious matters. There are at least dozens of craftsmen in Suocheng. Now there are no need to hand over weapons, armor, bows and arrows to the top, and there is no major project to build. What's the use of requiring so many craftsmen? Min Yuanqi wants people here, so no one will be serious.

After four o'clock, the three large ponds were filled with sea water. After sedimentation, the sea water calmed down. The large salt pond in front of us looked like ordinary ponds. The breeze was gently blowing and the blue waves were rippling, but there was no life. Not only did there be no fish or shrimp, but even the mud and water plants were completely gone.

By this time the crowd had almost dispersed. There was only one small flag army following the previous instructions, holding a spear and a waist knife here.

The salt pond was built with a lot of money and time, which is the hope of the entire household. If it is secretly destroyed by outsiders in the middle of the night, it will be impossible to find the grave even if you cry.

Not only was there a small flag guarding the flag army, but there were also gongs, drums and other objects. Once there was a policeman, he would ring quickly, and the men in the entire village would be driven out to rescue him as soon as possible.

This is Min Yuanqi's rule. When he left, thankfully everything was orderly.

People's hearts are a little distracted and uneasy, but they still maintain the order they should be.

This is also Min Yuanqi’s recent gains. Invisibly, his prestige has also increased a lot.

...

Before dark, most of the people, except for the garrison, slowly returned to the village.

The weather gradually became warmer, and there was obvious greenness in the wasteland on the roadside. Some willow trees were planted at the east end of the village near the sea, and it began to sprout at this time.

After today, the big pot rice was gone. In fact, if there were no follow-up projects, the supply of three meals a day for the flag army and their families had completely stopped.

Many people are worried and their eyebrows are not open.

Min Yuanqi, the test-tested household, left early in the afternoon and returned to the official hall of the household.

General Banner Han Sen, Xiaoqi Yang Zhijin Gao Cuncheng and others went to Qianhu Suocheng together. Many people looked in the direction of the General Banner, hoping that General Banner could bring back good news.

On the way back to the village, people welcomed the first bad news.

In fact, the person involved was in the 300th household. Wang Mingyuan got off the boat from the dock and was directly carried by someone at the 300th household. The eldest son of the official, the scholar's husband, was beaten to the point of being bruised and swollen. He looked as if he was straight off the river.

There were two people in Wang Baihu's family who followed the grand grandson to the city. A middle-aged man with axle axle had not yet been wiped clean and the person who was beaten was quite lightly.
