Xu Zengshouji galloped all the way and soon arrived at the foot of the Western Mountain.
What comes into view is a bustling market.
A large number of caravans were coming in and out, buying anthracite coal and snowflake salt.
Seeing this, Xu Zengshou drove the horse away and walked into the market alone.
He wanted to see how the demon Su Yang did it, so that everyone in Northern Xinjiang believed in him!
Entering Xishanfang City, the surprise and suspicion in Xu Zengshou's eyes became more intense.
Because this city is extremely prosperous and lively, even comparable to the imperial capital of Jinling.
But this is exactly the problem!
You know, Northern Xinjiang is now in a wartime stage of food shortage!
According to common sense, the people should be without food and clothing, hiding in their homes for fear of encountering any stray soldiers or bandits.
But luckily for them, they came to the market one by one, which was very puzzling!
has a problem!
And there’s a big problem!
Xu Zengshou watched quietly.
A little girl jumped and ran past him, but accidentally fell down. Xu Zengshou hurriedly helped the little girl up.
"Nanny, are you okay, Nanny?"
The little girl’s grandfather rushed over with a candied haws, and held his granddaughter in his arms with great distress.
The little girl was also arrogant. Even if she fell, she didn't cry. Instead, she laughed heartlessly.
"Ah, Tanghulu, thank you grandpa, grandpa is so kind!"
Seeing this scene, Xu Zengshou was dumbfounded.
The old man thanked him profusely and was very honest and friendly.
Seeing this, Xu Zengshou couldn't help but ask: "My father-in-law, how can you afford to buy candied haws in this cold winter?"
The white-haired old man was stunned when he heard this, and then he didn't think much about it. He patiently explained: "Nannan's parents both worked in the Xishan workshop, so they saved a lot of money. Nannan is a greedy girl. Fortunately, she only has three cents on candied haws. One was not too expensive, so I bought it for her.”
Are they all working in the Xishan workshop?
Xu Zengshou's eyes lit up and he captured the key information.
I see!
This monster Su Yang is really good at it!
Convince people to work for him so that he can make money!
This is really unreasonable!
But what happened to their wages?
Could it be that Su Yang, the monster, really gives money to these common people to pay their wages?
"My father-in-law, how much wages can I get from working in Xishan in a month? Is there still a surplus?"
"Yes, it's all thanks to Mr. Su Yang!" The white-haired old man sighed. "Mr. Su is kind-hearted and knows that it's hard for ordinary people in the cold weather, so he raised the wages of the workers by two. If successful, it will be counted as a bonus and distributed to everyone. I just hope everyone can have a warm winter."
"And the wages can also be directly exchanged for food, which solves the problem of ordinary people like us who have no food to eat. In addition, Mr. Su Yang sells anthracite coal at a low price. People in Xishan can even buy it at a low price, only costing a penny each. "
"In this way, the two major problems of fuel and food for the winter have been solved, and ordinary people like us can naturally survive. This is all thanks to Mr. Su Yang!"
Xu Zengshou frowned when he heard this, with a look of confusion on his face.
Something is wrong!
He raises wages and sells anthracite coal at low prices. What does the demon Su Yang earn?
"Old man, what do you mean by this? Is Young Master Su Yang really a good person?"
"Isn't that right!" The old man glanced at Xu Zengshou, and then said with a smile: "Isn't the young master a local?"
Okay, the interrogation is on again!
These Xishan people are really more vigilant than the others.
"Ahem, my father-in-law is very discerning. I am from Baoding Prefecture, and I came to Xishan specifically to buy anthracite coal for business."
Hearing this, the white-haired old man looked at him deeply, then leaned down and whispered a few words to the little girl.
After hearing this, the little girl looked at Xu Zengshou subconsciously, and then jumped away.
"This young master, Mr. Su Yang has done so many good things."
"Let's talk about anthracite first. If Mr. Su Yang hadn't developed it and sold it to the people in northern Xinjiang at a fair price, I don't know how many people would have froze to death in this ice and snow."
"Besides, this snowflake salt is indeed worth a lot of money when sold to the outside world, but our people in Xishan and Beiping can buy it at an equal price. The price is the same as ordinary table salt. Do you think Mr. Su Yang is a good person?"
After hearing this, Xu Zengshou became even more puzzled.
What is this monster Su Yang doing?
Could it be that he is... trying to win people's hearts?
Yes, that’s right, just to win people’s hearts!
He used some small favors to make the people of Xishan and Peking feel grateful to Su Yang, and then used the mouths of these people to spread the word about anthracite and snowflake salt, attracting more people to come and buy and sell, thus achieving his goal of making huge profits!
Su Yang, this monster, is really good at it!
Duan De is a cunning and insidious person who is not a son of man!
"Old man, where does the food in Xishan come from?"
"As far as I know, everyone is short of food now. How come there is still food left in Xishan?"
Hearing Xu Zengshou's words, the white-haired old man's expression changed even more, and he became more and more sure of his guess.
"Don't you know, your Majesty, that our Xishan potatoes can yield thirty shi per mu?"
"Master Su Yang has planted potatoes all over Xishan a long time ago, and they are grown in greenhouses, so they are not affected by the weather and can be harvested at any time throughout the year, thus ensuring a constant supply of food in Xishan."
The yield of potatoes is 30 shi per acre?
Can the Laoshizi greenhouse be isolated from the weather?
Can food be harvested at any time of the year?
Haha, it’s so ridiculous, so ridiculous!
Xu Zengshou wanted to laugh when he heard this. This is simply impossible!
As a result, before he could laugh, the Xishan Guards had already killed him.
The little girl walked forward with the Xishan Guards in hand, and then pointed at Xu Zengshou.
"Grandpa said this man is a bad guy, a craftsman from the south!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
The entire city fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked at Xu Zengshou, with those vicious eyes that seemed to eat him alive.
The white-haired old man also hurriedly pushed to the side of the Xishan Guards and explained in a low voice.
"This young man has been asking me questions since he came here. He doesn't know anything about Xishan, and he is also secretly trying to find out about Mr. Su Yang. He must be a spy from the south!"
As soon as Jian Xingfa heard this, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Someone, get him for me!"
Regardless of whether he is a spy or not, he must be taken down and interrogated.
All information about Mr. Su Yang is top secret of the Yan Army and cannot be leaked to the south.
Xu Zengshou was almost angry when he saw this. He never imagined that his father-in-law would plot against him like this.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
"Everyone, listen to me, I am Xu Zengshou, the brother-in-law of His Highness King Yan!"
"Yes, yes! It's him!" A young man suddenly spoke, stepped forward and whispered to Jian Xingfa.
Xu Zengshou was completely speechless, and they all chased him into Fangshi.
"My fellow villagers, you have all been deceived by that demon Su Yang!"
"This Su Yang is just a deceptive monster, just wearing a hypocritical face..."
In an instant, the entire city was silent, and everyone looked at Xu Zengshou.
After a brief silence, there was endless anger.
"kill him!"
"This bastard still dares to insult Young Master Su Yang!"
"Kill this damn Xizuo, be sure to kill him!"
Xu Zengshou: "Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ"
