Chapter 923: snowflake salt
Chapter 923 Snow Salt
The two villages drove the horse teams directly back to the threshing floor at the entrance of Lijia Village.
Jiang Xiaoxiao understood that Lin Dawang followed him, probably out of embarrassment, but he opened his mouth to ask for credit. After all, this was a horse and carriage. Who wouldn't be greedy? Even after getting off the carriage, he didn't let Lin Dawang and the others unload the goods. Originally, everyone's goods were There is no need to balance the money purchased by each family.
"Village Chief Lin, this time we all cooperated sincerely, and the results are very good. Since it is everyone's credit, then we will share one share of these horses and these carts. There are ten horses and a total of 12 carts, so you can get half of each village." What do you think?"
Lin Dawang was a little unhappy. This time, their village had the 38th person.
Lijiacun only produced 18 people, almost half less than them. It seems a bit unfair that they can still share half of the credit. Without themselves, would it be possible for these people to defeat two hundred bandits just by relying on the people from Lijiacun?
“Mr. Jiang, your allocation is not appropriate!”
Li Tieniu glared, "Lin Dawang, why is it inappropriate? Without Mr. Jiang's efforts, do you think you could defeat these two hundred bandits? Mr. Jiang's efforts in training everyone allowed us to survive with only one life.
Although half of the horses and carts were given to our village, our village only took half of the half, and the other half belonged to Mr. Jiang. They have contributed their efforts and money, so why can't they get these benefits?
Besides, the reason why your village was able to successfully transport salt back this time was also thanks to Mr. Jiang. Before we left, we made it clear that 10% of the profit from this salt trip would be given to Mr. Jiang. "
Li Tieniu is truly grateful to Jiang Xiaoxiao.
People can help them a lot.
The absence of dead people is strength.
When Lin Dawang heard this, he realized that this **** reason was strong enough.
If he really said that, he still felt a little guilty.
Every time their village went to sell salt, even if they relied on the strength of their numbers, people would still die.
This time the labor force produced in the village was only 1/3 of that in the village, not even half of what it was in the past. To be able to get such a huge income without anyone dying, we should really thank Mr. Jiang.
He didn't even mention the credit, and when he divided the horse and cart, he only mentioned their two villages. This seemed a bit narrow-minded.
He laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Jiang, please don't look outside. I am just a rough person with a single brain. This matter has really ignored you. Let's divide these horses and carts into three parts, and Mr. Jiang will have one." , one for our Linjiacun and one for Lijiacun.
In any case, Mr. Jiang is responsible for this matter. We people in Linjia Village are not the kind of ungrateful people. "
This is a very generous statement.
Jiang Xiaoxiao responded with a smile. Although she didn't mention what she wanted in this matter, it would be too fake if she didn't ask for anything or ask for nothing.
At first she also sincerely wanted to help Li Tieniu.
Li Tieniu brother and sister are indeed good people, and now Lin Dawang is also included, they are also good people. Since they are serious, she will naturally not refuse.
200 taels of silver were obviously not the capital that Jiang Xiaoxiao could use to establish himself in these troubled times.
When is money or silver necessary for survival?
Of course she is not worried about not surviving.
I just feel that there is still a long way to go and we can’t just look at the present.
Everyone divided the things, and Lin Dawang took the people of Linjia Village to express their gratitude and then drove the carriage back to the village.
Of course, Li Tieniu was also very kind and sent the young and middle-aged people in the village to help them transport the salt back with their own carriages. Otherwise, Lin Dawang had a lot of salt, and their few carriages alone would not be enough.
When the people in the village saw so much salt, they all smiled instantly.
These salts are sold in exchange for nothing but silver. With the silver paid in taxes, the people in the village can survive.
At least you don’t have to worry about the young and old in the family catching the young.
Jiang Xiaoxiao took Li Tieniu and sat down in the courtyard.
“How are you going to sell this salt?”
Li Tieniu rubbed his head, "In the past few years, we will pack them separately and sell them all the way through the village."
In previous years, dozens of villages in the surrounding are not enough for them.
Especially if they take the salt directly down the road, there is even more salt shortage in Fucheng over there, of course, if they are bolder.
Let’s exchange with the herdsmen on the grasslands. They are even more short of salt. Both humans and horses need salt. Once the salt reaches the other side, the price will rise again.
But the rest of the things are easy to handle, and they are nothing compared to the way back.
“Isn’t there any risk in going through this process?”
Jiang Xiaoxiao definitely didn’t believe it.
"There is definitely a risk. The government is very strict in investigating and you will be beheaded if you are caught. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers are greedy for money. As long as they have some money, they can bribe them, otherwise they will have to die. Compared with bandits, officers and soldiers are not easy to deal with."
Li Tieniu sighed, "We are not as good as those big salt merchants, so naturally we have to work harder."
“What will happen if these salts are sold to the rich households in Yanmen Pass? Or sold to the mainland, they should be able to fetch a good price!”
Li Tieniu smiled bitterly, "Mr. Jiang, rich households are unwilling to ask for our salt. We have no way to get snowflake salt. This is good enough. We are satisfied."
Jiang Xiaoxiao shook his head, "We'll talk about it when you come tomorrow morning."
Call Li Tiehua over.
The little girl is very willing to do things with Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Li Tieniu rubbed his head and left in confusion.
No words all night.
The next day, Li Tieniu came on time.
I saw my sister Li Tiehua yawning and bringing out a box.
Jiang Xiaoxiao came out and said, "Tieniu, take a look."
Li Tieniu glanced at the box, then paused, hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and came closer in disbelief.
“This is...this is snowflake salt!?”
White as snow, delicate and soft white, it looks like white snowflakes.
"Yes! I have taught Tiehua how to purify snow salt. As long as you work harder, process the rest in advance and transport it to Fucheng, you should be able to buy it at a good price!"
Ten taels of silver per catty, how could you not make this money?
Li Tieniu knelt down and pulled his sister, and Li Tiehua also knelt down.
“Mr. Jiang, 70% of these profits belong to you. Thank you Mr. Jiang for giving us a way to make a fortune.”
Yesterday he went back and discussed with the clan elders that this time they only had fifty taels. Even if they could earn fifty taels from selling, that would be luck. But there are more than 120 people in the village, and the tax would probably cost more than 100 taels. Two silver coins.
Still not enough.
The family fortune has been emptied.
If it were sold as snowflake salt now, the price would have increased tenfold.
Fifty two seconds becomes five hundred taels.
This is all Mr. Jiang’s skill.
"Tieniu, Tiehua, hurry up. I will share half of the profit, and the rest will go to the villagers of Lijiacun. But you must remember that when you go out to sell salt, you must not leak your own details or Lijiacun, otherwise you will get into trouble. "
She doesn’t want to do bad things with good intentions.
Causing death to the villagers.
Li Tieniu nodded hurriedly. The clan elder was right. They would definitely live a good life after following Jiang Xiaoxiao.
The important thing is that their friendship is different from other people's.
The most important thing now is not to chill Mr. Jiang’s heart.
They will do whatever Mr. Jiang says.
Just be obedient and work hard.
