Seeing Mei Jingjing standing in front of him with a strange expression, Xu Yunyan scratched his head in embarrassment and stepped forward.
"That...this..."
Before Xu Yunyan could say anything, Mei Jingjing blushed again.
"This time I heard that uncles from the Zhao family and Gao family came to act as guarantees. The Nu family is willing."
After Mei Jingjing left these words, Xu Yunyan instantly became happy, "Really? Then let's go to your house tomorrow and ask your parents, okay?"
Mei Jingjing blushed and nodded, "Okay, everything is up to Guan Guan."
At this moment, Xu Yunyan felt as if he was about to boil a kettle of water, and his whole body was steaming. But before Xu Yunyan could get too hot, Mei Jingjing said something else beside her.
"I heard that Guanren is going to build a salt field. Have you ever dried salt before? I have only heard some old people talk about this salt field before. Sometimes I pick up some salt on the beach. Is this really possible? They have always said that this is a reward from the Dragon King, not something that can be made by human power."
After Mei Jingjing said this, she looked at Xu Yunyan anxiously. The meaning was obvious. This was all hearsay. We couldn't take it seriously. If it really couldn't be done, it would be time-consuming and thankless, and that would be embarrassing.
So Mei Jingjing, is this what you mean?
After Xu Yunyan knew what Mei Jingjing meant, he stepped forward and touched her head, "Don't worry, you have to believe me. I'm an official. Can what I say still be false? Do what I say." Salt field, if you make the arrangements I mentioned, you will definitely be able to produce salt. Maybe we will be able to produce the first batch of salt after we return from your home."
However, Mei Jingjing reminded him that his design was very good, and it was the salt field style known to later generations, but these people had not seen it before, so they should not do anything wrong.
Xu Yunyan thought this way, and after dinner, he started walking around the Zhaojia Village, and soon came to the courtyard where Zhao Bo was.
"Uncle Zhao, have you rested?" Xu Yunyan asked after a lifetime of consciously pushing open the door and walking in. If an ordinary person pushed open the door and entered at this time, wouldn't he be beaten? But the person who pushed the door open unexpectedly was Xu Yunyan, and now no one dared to criticize him.
"Sir, don't you know what you are here for?"
Zhao Bo looked at Xu Yunyan who came in, and hurriedly led him to the main seat, and then asked here, while Xu Yunyan scratched his head, "There are not many things, isn't it because there is a little idle labor force in the village now, I think Let them do some salt fields together? It will just make some money to support the family."
When Xu Yunyan said this, Zhao Bo also became entangled here. Seeing Zhao Bo's entanglement, Xu Yunyan was curious, "Is there something wrong with Zhao Bo?"
"this……"
Zhao Bo finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth: "Sir, you have to listen to me, is this salt field really effective? Can't you just waste money on hearsay. I know that your family is rich, but you can't do this in order to improve us. He arranged such a simple job for us because of our daily life."
Hearing what Zhao Bo said, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but look at him with a half-smile, but her heart blossomed with joy. "It turns out that you are the ones here thinking that my money will bring you a lot of benefits. It's me." Deliberately arranged?"
Xu Yunyan laughed when he saw Zhao Bo staying here, almost saying that he was a prodigal.
"Uncle Zhao can definitely succeed. Don't you still believe what we, the officials, say? We will continue to use these to bring our life in Zhaojia Village to a higher level in the future."
Xu Yunyan's hard talk finally stopped Zhao Bo's constant dissuasion. In the end, Zhao Bo could only sigh.
"Since the master has requested this, then we will arrange for people to work on the salt fields for the master tomorrow as he said. But, master, don't you think about doing it a little bit earlier? What if all the salt fields are built in one go? Is it really appropriate to make it all and not get any salt out of it?"
After Zhao Bo persuaded him like this, Xu Yunyan was too embarrassed to stand here and say anything, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
"How about this? How about we divide the salt field in two and make half of it tomorrow. We will use this half as an experimental field. If it is really successful, we can then show off our talents. How about that?"
Xu Yunyan had already relaxed his bottom line, and Zhao Bo could only say, "Master, these fifty acres are still a bit much, how about five acres first? We can definitely make it tomorrow."
It seems that Zhao Bo just doesn't believe in himself to prevent himself from spending too much. Although he knows that this is a good intention, no one believes it.
Xu Yunyan could only say, "Okay, let's do this."
After negotiating with Zhao Bo again and asking him to arrange all the precautions, Xu Yunyan happily returned to his Xu Mansion.
It's not that Xu Yunyan doesn't want to personally lead them to build this salt field. Now that the number has been reduced to five acres, it's more important to do his own thing.
What's up?
Go to Zhenhai Township.
In the early morning of the next day, some idle laborers in Zhaojiacun, led by the Niu brothers and Zhao Bo, headed for the seaside. Xu Yunyan now apologized to Wang Ergou.
"Ergou, I'm sorry. I have to go out for a trip and I can't teach. I'm disappointed. But you must teach when I come back. Don't blame me. Go talk to your friends."
Xu Yunyan said this, but Gao Yuanyuan's father stood up, "Is this adult going to set up a private school nearby? If the adult can trust the little old man, the little old man can teach them here first, although the little old man doesn't know much. , but it’s still possible to get them to know a hundred and eighty characters.”
"This is good……"
Unexpectedly, there would be such an unexpected gain. Gao Yuanyuan's father actually had the ability to teach, which Xu Yunyan did not expect.
But now that someone has replaced him, it will be easier. Xu Yunyan raised his fist at Father Gao, "Then there will be Mr. Lao Gao again."
"What did you say, sir? I'm just doing what I can. I can't just eat and drink for free here."
"Mr. Gao, please."
Xu Yunyan even changed his title this time. It seemed that he valued teaching and educating people very much.
After everything in the Xu Mansion in Zhaojia Village was arranged, Xu Yunyan looked at Zhao who had already pulled out the carriage and nodded.
"Then everyone is busy with the affairs of Zhaojiacun. I will go out for a while and return in a few days. I will thank you properly at that time."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he drove the carriage with Mei Jingjing in the carriage and headed towards Zhenhai Township in the direction Mei Jingjing pointed.
But as soon as Xu Yunyan left, the cavalry came to Zhaojiacun again.
