Chapter 924 Something strange
Lin Dawang has already arranged manpower to quickly arrange for the salt to be sold one day earlier and people will get the money one day earlier.
This time they brought back four thousand kilograms of salt, enough to make a fortune.
The villagers of Linjia Village are happy, no one has to worry this time.
On the day Lin Dawang came back, he summoned several elders from his own clan in the village and everyone discussed a plan.
They want to send people out early and release their people before Lijiazhuang and Lijiacun.
Otherwise there are only a few neighboring villages, and if you buy Lijia Village, you won’t buy their Linjia Village.
They either have to go farther away, or they have to exchange money with the herdsmen on the grassland. No one wants to go too far. The road is long, and if something happens, it is difficult to prevent it.
Fortunately, they have a lot of people and enough people. There are only a dozen strong men in Lijiacun now, so what's the use?
Even if they were all scattered, there wouldn’t be as many people as they did.
As soon as the people in Linjia Village heard this plan, everyone nodded and hurriedly sent people to carry their salt and set off.
Lin Dawang worked hard for a month and finally sold out the salt.
"Brother Dawang, why do I feel something is not right recently? No one in Lijia Village has seen them carrying salt and selling it outside. Logically speaking, even if all our people are spread out, there must be a few of them who are familiar with each other. There are frequent visits to the village, so they will definitely send it there.
But who would have thought that we haven’t met anyone from Linjia Village in the past month. "
Several people under Lin Dawang came over to report, mainly because they felt strange in their hearts. Everyone originally thought that if they encountered each other, they would have to pass the blame to each other to show that the responsibility was not theirs.
No matter what, everyone has fought together. After the **** battle, this feeling is still there. I am always embarrassed to steal other people's business without even saying hello.
Whoever wants to prepare a lot of words will not use them.
The problem is that Lijiacun also has to pay taxes, and it looks like tax collectors from the government will come to visit them in a few days.
If Yan Yinzi is not prepared now, it is possible that the people in Lijia Village are really planning to let other villagers be captured. This is unlikely, so everyone feels strange.
What makes me even more uneasy is that I am afraid that Lijiacun is causing trouble behind my back.
Lin Dawang was shocked.
It’s not Lijiacun. What’s behind it?
That Mr. Jiang is a smart man at first glance, and he is very methodical and strategic in doing things.
Such a young master arrived at Lijia Village first. I heard that he saved the people of Lijia Village, so the villagers of Lijia Village kept Mr. Jiang in their village in order to repay their kindness. In fact, he was very upset in his heart as to why they didn't meet Mr. Jiang first.
If they meet Young Master Jiang first. They need people and money in the village, and with Mr. Jiang's help, maybe they can really make great achievements.
A good man has his ambitions in all directions, not to mention that these are troubled times.
Of course men like them know that in troubled times, if they want to live a stable life, it depends not on one person, but on a village.
Lin Dawang naturally hopes to make their village more prosperous and prosperous. If the village has a prosperous population and is not afraid of bandits and officers and soldiers causing trouble, everyone's life will naturally be easier.
Be able to live well in this chaotic world.
Protect your family and protect yourself.
Lin Dawang was quite envious of those big salt merchants, who had the most salt merchants and even raised tens of thousands of horses.
That is the strength of the army and the prosperity of natural life.
Even the imperial court will look at him with admiration, and officials will protect him, so why worry about not being able to protect his people.
He also hopes that these private gangs can become bigger and stronger, and at least they will not be bullied by others. Those bandits, officers and soldiers dare to go to their villages to cause trouble, just because they are easy to bully.
I didn’t see Zhaojiapu in the distance. Why didn’t the officers and soldiers go there to collect heavy taxes?
You can't afford to offend people with strong soldiers and horses, and bandits never dare to come to your door.
This is strength.
In this day and age, whoever has the bigger fist naturally has the final say.
Lin Dawang led people to Lijiacun.
However, I saw that Lijia Village was peaceful, with villagers chatting leisurely in the village, and children playing happily in the fields.
There is no sorrow at all.
Lin Dawang was even more vigilant.
He met Li Tieniu and his men driving a carriage back head-on.
The two of them met each other.
Li Tieniu jumped out of the car in a hurry.
Throwing the whip in his hand to another young man in the car, "Dahu, drive the car back and go find Mr. Jiang to do an errand. I'll be back in a moment."
He smiled and said, "Brother Lin, what brought you here? Come on, come on, come and sit in my room."
He took Lin Dawang and left with a warm and kind attitude.
Lin Dawang felt a little relieved. Li Tieniu was a pretty good person. He was not a cunning person. He was just and generous.
Otherwise, he would not have thought of merging Lijia Village into his Linjia Village. Generally, those cunning people would not want to win over, lest they win over and cause trouble for themselves.
"Dad Li, brother Tieniu, I'm so ashamed. I don't have the face to see you. How did I know that the people below actually robbed the business of the villages where you often go to deliver salt. I'm not here to talk to you. Apologize."
Lin Dawang was bowing and clasping his fists, and what he did in the scene was indeed unreasonable.
Li Tieniu said with a smile, "Brother Lin, we have already robbed, so what little business is there? Anyway, we smugglers of salt are not bright in the east but bright in the west, and our village did not sell salt to them this year.
We will definitely not be able to take care of it in the short term. If we don’t sell salt to them, they will have to buy high-priced salt. It's not just right if you sell it to them. Anyway, our two villages are considered brothers, and it doesn’t matter who hands the business.
The good news does not fall into outsiders' fields, brother, I don't care at all. "
Lin Dawang looked at Li Tieniu. There was really no sign of anger on his face. It seemed that he was actually telling the truth.
“Tieniu, we are brothers, right?”
This question was asked without any clue. Li Tieniu looked at Lin Dawang.
“Of course we are brothers. No matter what we do, we are going through life and death. We villagers in Linjia Village and Lijia Village are all brothers.”
Lin Dawang smiled and said, "Oh, after hearing what you said, I also feel that our friendship was not in vain. Since we are brothers and you have a good deal, why don't you take care of your elder brother? This is not right. There is a good deal that makes money. , we should still cooperate sincerely. It is not unity that Mr. Jiang said is strength.
Brother, you have a good business, and you leave your eldest brother to earn a lot of money. This is a bit sorry for your eldest brother, and makes your eldest brother still anxious here, thinking that he has robbed your business. "
Li Tieniu shook his head suddenly, "Brother Lin, you are kidding. How can we have any good business? We are not all doing the same business of licking blood. You sell private salt, and I also sell private salt. We transport the salt back together." , It’s not like you haven’t seen any good deals I can make?”
He will never admit that the business they are doing now is a very profitable business.
