Chapter 923 Snowflake Salt
The two villages drove the cavalry directly back to the threshing floor at the entrance of Lijia Village.
Jiang Xiaoxiao understood that Lin Dawang followed him, probably out of embarrassment, but he opened his mouth to ask for credit. After all, this was a horse and carriage. Who wouldn't be greedy? Even after getting off the carriage, he didn't let Lin Dawang and the others unload the goods. Originally, everyone's goods were There is no need to balance the money purchased by each family.
"Village Chief Lin, this time we all cooperated sincerely, and the results are very good. Since it is everyone's credit, then we will share one share of these horses and these carts. There are ten horses and 12 carts in total, so one village will give you half What do you think?"
Lin Dawang was a little unhappy. This time, there was person number 38 in their village.
Lijiacun only produced 18 people, which was almost half less than them. It seemed a bit unfair that they could still share half of the credit. Without themselves, would it be possible for these people to defeat two hundred bandits just by relying on the people from Lijiacun?
"Mr. Jiang, your allocation is not appropriate!"
Li Tieniu glared, "Lin Dawang, why is it inappropriate? Without Mr. Jiang's efforts, do you think you could defeat these two hundred bandits? Mr. Jiang's efforts in training everyone allowed us to survive with only one life.
Although half of the horses and carts were given to our village, our village only got half of the half, and the other half belonged to Mr. Jiang. They have contributed their efforts and money, so why can't they get these benefits?
Besides, the reason why your village can successfully transport salt back this time is also thanks to Mr. Jiang. Before we left, we made it clear that 10% of the profits from this salt trip would be given to Mr. Jiang. "
Li Tieniu was truly grateful to Jiang Xiaoxiao.
People can help them a lot.
No one dies is strength.
When Lin Dawang heard this, he realized that this damn reason was strong enough.
If he really said that, he still felt a little guilty.
Every time their village went to sell salt, even if they relied on the strength of their numbers, people would still die.
This time, the number of strong laborers in the village was only 1/3 of that in the village, not even half of what it was in the past. To be able to get such a generous income without anyone dying, we should really thank Mr. Jiang.
He didn't even mention the credit, and when he divided the horses and carts, he only mentioned their two villages. This made him seem a bit narrow-minded.
He laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Jiang, please don't look outside. I am just a rough person with a single brain. This matter has indeed ignored you. Let's divide these horses and carts into three parts, and Mr. Jiang will have one." , one for our Linjiacun and one for Lijiacun.
In any case, Mr. Jiang is responsible for this matter. We people in Linjia Village are not the kind of ungrateful people. "
This was said quite generously.
Jiang Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile. Although she didn't mention what she wanted in this matter, if she didn't ask for anything or ask for nothing, she would be too fake.
At first, she sincerely wanted to help Li Tieniu.
The Li Tieniu brother and sister are indeed good people, and now Lin Dawang is also considered a good person. Since they are interested, she will naturally not refuse.
Obviously, 200 taels of silver is not the capital that Jiang Xiaoxiao can stand on in this troubled world.
When did money or silver become a necessity for survival?
Of course she wasn't worried about not surviving.
I just feel that there is still a long way to go and we can’t just look at the present.
Everyone divided the things, and Lin Dawang took the people of Linjia Village to express their gratitude and then drove the carriage back to the village.
Of course, Li Tieniu was also very kind and sent the young and middle-aged people in the village to help them transport the salt back with their own carriages. Otherwise, Lin Dawang had a lot of salt, and their few vehicles alone would not be enough.
When the people in the village saw so much salt, they all smiled instantly.
The salt is sold in exchange for nothing but silver. With the silver paid in taxes, the people in the village can survive.
At least you don't have to worry about the young and old in the family catching the young.
Jiang Xiaoxiao took Li Tieniu and sat down in the courtyard.
"How are you going to sell this salt?"
Li Tieniu rubbed his head and said, "Over the years, we will pack them separately and sell them all the way through the village."
They did the same thing in previous years. Dozens of surrounding villages dispersed, but they still couldn't sell enough at this point.
Especially if they take the salt directly down the road, there is even more salt shortage in Fucheng over there, of course, if they are braver.
Let’s talk about the herdsmen on the grasslands. They are even more lacking in salt. People and horses have to eat salt. Once the salt reaches the other side, the price will rise again.
But the rest of the things are easy to handle, and they are nothing compared to the way back.
"Isn't there any risk in going through this journey?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao definitely didn't believe it.
"There are definitely risks. The government investigates strictly and will be beheaded if caught. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers are greedy for money. As long as they have some money, they can bribe them, otherwise they will have to die. Compared with bandits, officers and soldiers are not easy to deal with."
Li Tieniu sighed, "We are not as good as those big salt merchants, so naturally we have to work harder."
"What will happen if these salts are sold to the rich households in Yanmen Pass? Or if they are sold to the mainland, they should be sold at a good price!"
Li Tieniu smiled bitterly, "Mr. Jiang, rich households are unwilling to ask for our salt, and we have no way to get snowflake salt. This is good enough, and we are satisfied."
Jiang Xiaoxiao shook his head, "We'll talk about it when you come tomorrow morning."
Called Li Tiehua over.
The little girl is very willing to do things with Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Li Tieniu touched his head and left in confusion.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Li Tieniu came on time.
He saw his sister Li Tiehua yawning and carrying out a box.
Jiang Xiaoxiao followed him out, "Tieniu, take a look."
Li Tieniu took a look at the box, then paused, rubbed his eyes hurriedly, and approached in disbelief.
"This is... This is snowflake salt!?"
It is as white as snow, delicate and white, and it looks like white snowflake silver.
"Yes! I have taught Tiehua how to purify snowflake salt. As long as you work harder, process it in advance, and transport it to the city, you should be able to get a good price!"
Ten taels of silver per catty, how could you not make this money.
Li Tieniu knelt down, pulled his sister, and Li Tiehua also knelt down.
"Mr. Jiang, 70% of the profits belong to you. Thank you for giving us a way to make money."
Yesterday, he went back to discuss with the elders. This time they only have 50 taels. Even if they can earn 50 taels from the sale, that's luck. But there are more than 120 people in the village. The tax will probably be more than 100 taels of silver.
It's still not enough.
The family assets have been emptied.
Now if it is sold as snowflake salt, the price will increase tenfold.
Fifty taels become 500 taels in a second.
This is all Mr. Jiang's ability.
"Tie Niu, Tie Hua, hurry up. I will give half of the profits, and the rest will go to the villagers of Lijia Village. But remember, when you go out to sell salt, you must not reveal your details and Lijia Village, otherwise you will get into trouble."
She didn't want to do something bad with good intentions.
Bring the villagers to death.
Li Tie Niu nodded hurriedly. The elders were right. They would definitely live a good life after following Jiang Xiaoxiao.
The important thing is that their friendship is different from that of others.
The important thing now is not to chill Mr. Jiang's heart.
They will do whatever Mr. Jiang says.
Just be obedient and work hard.
