This family is a big family.
Although Zhang Maojin is a farmer, he is not an ordinary farmer.
There are hundreds of acres of fertile land, and they belong to small landowners.
Almost all the people in this village have the surname Zhang and belong to the same village.
Generally, villages with the same surname are more united and more domineering, and the surrounding villages dare not mess with them.
Therefore, this Zhang family usually behaves more domineeringly.
"That's right! Why should a stranger earn money from our village?"
"Dad, you donated money to the county government last year to build a canal in the village! This is great. You have made so many contributions, but all the good things have been taken away by others."
"I can't bear it. This is no longer a matter of money. If word spreads, they will laugh at us."
"Yes, it's a matter of face now. What will the people in the village think of you? What will the people in other villages think of you?"
"This salt mine still belongs to our family. We accidentally sold it to the wrong person. Even if we want to sell it, we must share at least half of the profit."
"We want half the profit, we want to take back the salt mine. It belongs to us in the first place! It was that kid who tricked and deceived us!"
"It was cheated! It was cheated by that bitch. In this world, liars really don't deserve to be human! They are worse than animals, cheating on our ancestral property!"
"Such a liar must pay the price. He must not be allowed to escape justice! Let him know that there is justice in the world!"
As Lao Liuyi lit up the fire, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became full of fireworks.
One person's face turned red, he clenched his fists and cursed.
He completely forgot about the fact that the other party could "use the poisonous salt mine to produce white salt."
I wish I could eat Li Xiao alive now who bought the salt mine.
Why is it that such a profitable mine only sells for fifty taels of silver?
In their opinion, they were simply deceived.
Two people named Li let a group of people named Zhang work for them, and they also used their own salt mines to make a lot of money. I couldn't bear it! !
"alright!"
As the head of the family, Zhang Maojin picked up his cane and poked the ground to make a sound.
Suddenly, the room became quiet.
Zhang Maojin looked at Lao Liu and asked, "Lao Liu, are you really sure that this Li Xiao has no background?"
In fact, he was also moved, but he was not the first to stand up and say it.
Although the land title has been sold, a contract has still been signed.
But that's not the case.
If the other party has no background, you can definitely do it.
After all, I have a good relationship with the county magistrate, and I also donate some silver to the county every year.
The sixth child of the Zhang family stammered: "No, no!"
In fact, he didn't do any serious investigation, he just made some side inquiries.
Li Xiao and Li Xiongzhi are from Dashukou Village in Wanping County next door and have been farmers for generations.
Such a person can have a Mao background.
Zhang Maojin frowned and asked sharply: "Have you investigated clearly whether he has friends with anyone?"
"No, dad."
Zhang Laoliu vowed: "They are just two bumpkins."
The old man of the Zhang family said: "Sixth, I heard that on the day of recruitment, a child was very arrogant and pointed two swords at the people in our village."
Zhang Laoliu explained: "That kid is just a playboy who doesn't know the world and has no background. I have investigated everything clearly!"
Such an explanation.
Everyone was very happy.
It would be easier without a background.
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Maojin.
Zhang Maojin said in a deep voice: "Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter. I have my own way. But this Li Xiao can make salt from the salt mine, but we may not be able to do it."
Zhang Maojin is also a sensible person.
He knows why he made a mistake.
Not because of my own problems.
But the other party has a unique skill.
A unique skill that can produce salt from poisonous salt mines.
Without this unique skill, even if he gets the salt mountain back, what's the use?
Zhang Laoliu said with a smile:
"Dad, you don't have to worry about this, the villagers on the salt field will do it!"
"Li Xiao was afraid that others would learn from his method, so he used six workshops to separate the steps of making salt."
"But those village names are all from our village. Just tell us the method."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone felt that it made sense.
The boss of the Zhang family smiled and praised. "Old Liu, you are usually ignorant and incompetent, but you didn't expect that you have a bright mind?"
The second son of the Zhang family also smiled and said: "Hey, what a good idea. Put together the methods for each step, and this salt-making method belongs to us."
"Old Liu, it's okay. You've done a great job!"
"Lao Liu, it seems that at the critical moment, it's up to you."
"My sister-in-law was not good to you in the past. From now on, I will come to my sister-in-law's house more often and she will make chicken soup for you."
Lao Liu was so praised that he said proudly: "After we have this method of making salt, we can still sell it to make money. Even if we don't make money, let's find a similar salt mine and buy it to make salt ourselves."
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone's eyes lit up again.
It’s like seeing countless wealth right in front of you, waiting to be mined!
When Zhang Maojin heard this, he couldn't sit still. He stood up and said, "I'm going to the county government now!"
Lao Liu hehe said: "Dad, after everything is done, this salt field"
Zhang Maojin said angrily: "If you have merit this time, I will give you an extra reward, but this salt field should be divided equally among you brothers."
"Good luck daddy." Lao Liu was ecstatic.
As for the other sons, they were also tempted.
It seems
It’s going to be developed!
That's it.
Zhang Maojin sat in a sedan chair and walked towards the Dong'an County government office.
Along the way, he was thinking about how to get the salt mine back.
He really thought of a way.
Because the land deed belongs to the Yuan Dynasty, the court did not take over this useless land in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the title deed has not been changed and is still the title deed of the Yuan Dynasty.
Since the land deeds from the Yuan Dynasty were bought and sold in the Ming Dynasty, it was illegal!
It should be no problem to use this loophole.
soon.
Zhang Maojin went to the county government office and learned that the magistrate was not there, so he asked the county magistrate about it.
It turned out that he was the son of the county magistrate. He was in trouble and was recovering at home.
The magistrate loves his son dearly and takes care of him at home every day.
Ever since, Zhang Maojin bought some supplements, fruits and other consolation items.
He turned around and went to the magistrate's mansion.
"Zhixian County."
In the name of visiting, he entered the house.
Zhang Maojin went to express condolences with the condolence gifts, and sure enough he saw Mr. Zhang lying on the bed.
He placed the gift on the ground, and then pretended to be sad and said:
"Why is this young man so injured? This, this, this makes me feel uncomfortable."
The son of the magistrate of Dong'an County was none other than Zhang Haoxuan, who was known as Jieyuan that day.
The future was originally bright, but now
Now he was beaten to the point of paralysis and became a disabled person. He even lost his fame and honor.
He is the only son of Zhang Zhixian. Now that he has suffered this disaster, he has no intention of going to the county government anymore.
"My son"
Zhang Zhixian touched his son's head and said with great sorrow: "My son was killed by an adulterer. It's disgusting and hateful!"
Zhang Maojin said angrily: "Which traitor is there to attack the son of Zhang Zhixian? He must be brought to justice!"
