Chapter 924: Strange
Lin Dawang has arranged for the salt to be quickly sent down. The earlier it is sold, the earlier people can get the money.
This time they brought back 4,000 kilograms of salt, which is enough to make a lot of money.
The villagers of Linjia Village were happy. No one had to worry this time.
On the day Lin Dawang came back, he called several elders of his own clan in the village, and they discussed a plan.
They had to send people out early and send their people out before Lijia Village in Lijiazhuang.
Otherwise, there were only a few neighboring villages below, and if they bought Lijia Village, they would not buy Linjia Village.
They either had to go farther, or they had to exchange money with the herdsmen on the grassland. No one wanted to go too far. The road was long, and once something happened, it was hard to prevent.
Fortunately, they had a lot of manpower and strength. Lijia Village only had a dozen strong men now, so what could they do?
Even if they were all sent out, they would not have as many people as them.
When the people of Linjia Village heard this plan, they all nodded immediately and hurriedly sent people to carry their salt and set off.
After working hard for a month, Lin Dawang finally sold all the salt.
"Brother Dawang, why do I feel something is wrong recently? I haven't seen any people from Lijia Village carrying salt outside to sell. Logically speaking, even if our people are scattered, they must have a few familiar villages that they often visit, and they will definitely send it there.
But who would have thought that we haven't met anyone from Linjia Village in the past month."
Several people under Lin Dawang came to report, mainly because they also felt strange in their hearts. Everyone originally thought that if they met, they would have to blame each other to show that the responsibility was not theirs.
No matter what, everyone fought together, and after the bloody battle, this kind of affection is still there. It's always embarrassing to steal other people's business without saying hello.
Who would have thought that all the words prepared were useless.
The problem is that Lijia Village also has to pay taxes, and the tax collectors from the government will come to the door in a few days.
If Yan Yinzi is not prepared now, could it be that the people of Lijia Village are really going to make his villagers be drafted? This is unlikely, so everyone finds it strange.
What is more uneasy is that they are afraid that Lijia Village is doing something behind the scenes.
Lin Dawang was shocked.
Could it be that Lijia Village has some tricks behind the scenes?
That Mr. Jiang is a smart man, and he is very methodical and strategic.
Such a young man happened to arrive in Lijia Village first. It is said that he saved the people of Lijia Village, so the villagers of Lijia Village kept Mr. Jiang in their village to repay their gratitude. In fact, he was also very upset in his heart, why didn't they meet Mr. Jiang first.
If they met Mr. Jiang first. They have people and money in their village, and with the help of Mr. Jiang, they may really be able to make great plans.
Good men have ambitions in all directions, not to mention that this is a chaotic time.
Of course, these men know that in troubled times, if they want to live a stable life, they don't rely on one person, but on a village.
Lin Dawang naturally hopes to build their village more prosperous, with a prosperous population, and not afraid of those bandits and soldiers, so that everyone can live a good life.
To be able to live well in this troubled time.
Protect your family and yourself.
Lin Dawang envied those big salt merchants, who had the most salt merchants and even raised tens of thousands of horses.
That was a strong army, so they lived a rich life.
Even the court had to look at them with admiration, and officials would protect them, so why worry about not being able to protect their people.
He also hoped that their private salt could become bigger and stronger, at least not be bullied by others. Those bandits and soldiers dared to make trouble in their village, just because they thought they were easy to bully.
Didn't you see Zhaojiabao in the distance? Why didn't the soldiers collect heavy taxes there?
If you can't afford to provoke them, the bandits never dare to come.
This is strength.
In this day and age, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.
Lin Dawang brought his people to Lijia Village.
But he saw that Lijia Village was peaceful, the villagers were chatting leisurely in the village, and the children were playing happily in the fields.
There was no trace of any sadness at all.
Lin Dawang was even more alert.
He ran into Li Tieniu who was driving a carriage back with his people.
The two met face to face.
Li Tieniu jumped out of the car in a hurry.
He threw the whip in his hand to another young man in the car, "Da Hu, drive the car back and go to Mr. Jiang to report. I will be back soon."
He smiled, "Brother Lin, what wind brought you here? Come on, come and sit in my room."
He pulled Lin Dawang away with a warm and friendly attitude.
Lin Dawang felt a little relieved. Li Tieniu was a good person. He was not the kind of cunning person. He was righteous and generous.
Otherwise, he would not have thought of merging Lijia Village into Linjia Village. Generally, he would not want to win over those cunning people, lest they would cause trouble for him.
"Father Li, Brother Tieniu, I am ashamed and I am ashamed to see you. How could I know that the people below have taken away the business of the villages you often deliver salt to. I am here to apologize to you."
Lin Dawang bowed and clasped his fists, and his behavior was indeed unreasonable.
Li Tieniu said with a smile, "Brother Lin, we've all robbed, so what little business is that? Anyway, we smugglers of salt are not bright in the east but bright in the west, and our village has not sold salt to them this year.
We will definitely not be able to take care of it in the short term. If we don’t sell salt to them, they will have to buy high-priced salt. It's not just right if you sell it to them. Anyway, our two villages are considered brothers, and it doesn’t matter who hands the business.
The good news doesn't go to outsiders, brother, I don't care at all. "
Lin Dawang looked at Li Tieniu. There was really no sign of anger on this man's face, and it seemed that he was actually telling the truth.
"Tieniu, are we brothers?"
This question was asked without any clue. Li Tieniu looked at Lin Dawang.
"Of course we are brothers. No matter what we do, we are going through life and death. We villagers in Linjia Village and Lijia Village are all brothers."
Lin Dawang smiled and said, "Oh, after hearing what you said, I also feel that our friendship was not in vain. Since we are brothers and you have a good deal, why don't you take care of your elder brother? This is not right. There is a good deal that makes money. , we should still cooperate sincerely. It is not unity that Mr. Jiang said is strength.
Brother, you have a good business, and you leave your eldest brother to earn money for nothing. This is a bit sorry for your eldest brother, and makes your eldest brother still anxious here, thinking that he has robbed your business. "
Li Tieniu shook his head suddenly, "Brother Lin, you are kidding. How can we have any good business? We are not all doing the same business of licking blood. You sell private salt, and I also sell private salt. We transport the salt back together." , it’s not like you don’t see any good deals I can get?”
He would never admit that the business they were doing now was a hugely profitable business.
