Chapter 926: Visit

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

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

She wants to go directly to the city from here, but her pass is not available.

In recent days, after listening to the news for a long time, she found out that it was not easy for her to impersonate the identity of this lady in the letter left by the original owner, because the lady's family had been confiscated and exterminated.

To put it bluntly, she is the descendant of a traitor. If Jiang Xiaoxiao replaces Miss Jiang Xuemei and appears, she will probably be arrested as a descendant of a criminal and made a slave.

In this era, you can't move without a pass.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little discouraged.

No. 10 is hidden deep, and it is not easy for her to find it.

It is not so easy to find No. 10 without making a sound. It is difficult to leave this small place now.

Since you can't leave, you have to take root here and live there first.

But as an ordinary person, it is not easy now. I heard that the villagers in this village are not only suffering from the taxes of the soldiers, but also from the bandits, plus the various robberies of foreigners. If she wants to survive here, she really needs to think of some way.

Become a hegemon, maybe it will be easy to find out the news of No. 10.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was worried. She really didn't want to be a hegemon and dominate the world.

I am just a modern young woman with ideals and pursuits.

What is this!

The silver note was divided into three parts.

One part was given to Li Tieniu.

Li Tieniu looked at it with doubts, but he didn't ask.

What kind of trust is this?

Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed. She got the full trust of others, but it was a pity that she was still doing it for the mission.

"Originally, we agreed to split the silver equally, but I considered that once the autumn harvest begins, the foreign tribes will definitely come to steal the food, and the bandits will also covet it.

Compared with the surrounding villages, our village is the weakest, and the weakest ones will be picked. In this case, the silver will be divided into three parts. The villagers will take one part to improve their lives and repair their houses, and I will take another part.

The remaining silver will be combined with our two families to build some walls around the village as defensive fortifications. In this way, if there are invasions and harassment from bandits and foreign tribes, we can resist on the spot.

It is better than being robbed by these bandits and foreign tribes 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 the military fortress of the officers and soldiers.

It would be much safer and easier to defend, better than the village being open now, where people can just come in and rob.

You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.

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

Without young and strong people, it can't be done.

"I thought about it. I saw a lot of displaced people in the streets of Yanmenguan City. Our village has a small population. We can lead those people to our village. On the one hand, we can provide them with food and shelter, and on the other hand, let them work instead of helping us build the city wall.

It not only solves their food and clothing problems, but also allows them to help us solve the problem of repairing the city wall. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone."

Li Tieniu was overjoyed.

"Good idea!"

Zhaojiabao built a city wall to protect their village, but in their minds, it was very expensive and not easy to build.

But now that Jiang Xiaoxiao said it, Li Tieniu suddenly felt that their village was instantly tall and noble.

Li Tieniu immediately prepared to find people.

There are many homeless people in Yanmenguan because of the war.

Almost all of them sell their children.

The government doesn't care, and these people really rely on luck to survive.

Now I don't know how many people are willing to do it if I provide a meal.

"Don't worry, the autumn harvest is coming soon, and the grain price has also dropped. We should store more grain to avoid spending money to buy grain later."

Jiang Xiaoxiao thought that her grain could be taken out in disguise.

Subsidize these refugees.

Looking at the refugees in Yanmen Pass who were dressed in rags and skinny, dragging their families, and holding straw tags waiting to be sold.

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't remain indifferent.

The government was corrupt, the country was declining, and the people here lived a life worse than death.

It may be a luxury to be able to eat enough to survive.

Jiang Xiaoxiao really couldn't stand by and watch.

Anyway, I can't leave now.

So just do something within my ability.

Change the fate of some people.

Li Tieniu touched his head and smiled honestly.

"Mr. Jiang is still powerful. Now is indeed the best time to stockpile grain. Instead of giving those grain dealers a bargain and squeezing us, we might as well keep it for ourselves."

At this time, Lin Dawang brought people in.

Lin Dawang heard that Li Tieniu and Mr. Jiang were talking about something.

He didn't let anyone report it. In fact, Lin Dawang was very fast and rushed in directly.

"Li Tieniu, Mr. Jiang!"

"Brother Lin, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, 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 very much.

Generally, no one comes to disturb Jiang Xiaoxiao.

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

Lin Dawang found a chair and sat down. It was obvious that he was not going to leave.

Li Tieniu was anxious.

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

Money can move people's hearts.

This is getting anxious.

"Brother Lin, what do you mean? Can you explain it more clearly?"

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

Li Tieniu felt the slaps on his shoulder and suddenly felt at ease.

What can Lin Dawang do?

With Li Tieniu here, can he still watch and bully Mr. Jiang?

He sat down steadily.

"Yes, Brother Lin, can you explain it clearly? Why are we not being righteous?"

Lin Dawang looked at Li Tieniu in surprise. Li Tieniu was so noisy just now, and was frightened by him like a guilty thief. Master Jiang calmed Li Tieniu down in just one move.

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

"Li Tieniu, what's the matter with snowflake salt? Don't deny it. My people saw you delivering salt to the Wu family in Yanmenguan City. It was snowflake salt. Such a good business, how can you be the only one in it? If there is money, everyone should make money together!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed out loud.

"Brother Lin, don't you feel embarrassed when you say this?"

Lin Dawang's face was really hot.

How could he not feel red?

Smuggling salt has always been done by each family. Each family has different capital. How can they do it together?

Wouldn't that mean they would lose money?
