To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

The two men discussed and decided to find a fleet directly to transport the salt from the lake. Half a month later, when the factory was completed, they would transport the first batch of crude salt. Jiusu couldn't help but feel excited.

Other businesses are all about making money.

Fine salt is different here, it concerns the country.

"Then it's settled. I just happen to know a friend who can drive a boat."

"Goodbye, young lady." Yu Da looked at the booklet in his hand, his eyes suddenly blurred with tears. He ran into the ancestral hall and knelt down on the mat.

He unfolded the contract and the booklet.

"Dad, Mom, and my two brothers, if you see me doing this, you will definitely be happy, right? I know this road is difficult, but Master Jiu is not afraid of a girl. We are almost 30 years old, so what else should we be afraid of? At worst, I can die to accompany you."

"..."

Chenjiacun.

Jiusu looked at the factory, gave it a thumbs up and said, "After it's completed, I'll give everyone red envelopes!"

Everyone raised their hands and cheered.

They were sweating, their faces were filled with smiles. This reward for hard work really gave them strength to work. Aunt Wang asked, "I heard that you have become a salt transport envoy?"

"Yes." Jiusu nodded.

Aunt Wang sighed, "Oh my god, I've never heard of a woman being an official. Jiusu, you really bring honor to our village, but what does this salt transport envoy do?"

Jiusu explained: "Coarse salt is expensive and has impurities. I can extract fine salt. Maybe in a few years, everyone will be able to eat fine salt."

Qian Junjie said: "Look how hard they work. One word from you is more effective than ten words from me."

Jiusu chuckled: "This is called an appropriate reward."

Suddenly, she understood what it felt like when a boss promised big things to his employees.

He raised a smile, said goodbye to his fellow villagers, and went to look for someone.

By this time, the crayfish should be almost gone.

Even if there were a lot of them originally, they were probably taken away cleanly. After all, when a business opportunity to make money is discovered, it is impossible for everyone to ignore it and everyone will go to get a piece of the pie.

"Sister Ayun, are you home?"

"They are in the west," a neighbor reminded.

West? Jiusu walked west along the lake. When she got further, she saw the paddy fields. She took a deep breath and said, "I will be very happy living here when I am old."

Zitan said: "Even though I am old, I will still serve the young lady."

Enjoy this beautiful scenery for a long time.

She saw the two of them and said, "When you are old, someone will take care of you."

Ah Yun took a break to drink some water and looked around. She waved in surprise and ran over, but didn't dare to get close. She was covered in mud. "Girl! Why are you here?"

Jiusu's gaze fell on the fields.

“Are you raising crayfish?”

"Yes, we have learned how to raise crayfish, which is a good source of income." Ayun called her family members to come over and meet Jiusu. They all nodded politely and were honest and would not say anything nice.

But a sincere smile makes people feel at ease.

Jiusu said: "Brother Chen, can you form a fleet?"

"What are you doing? Going out to sea?" When it comes to this, Ayun can't help feeling a little nervous. He lives by the sea, but he is afraid of death if he has to go to such a far place.

Jiusu poked the soil on the ground and smelled a fishy smell.

"There is a salt factory across the lake. I want to make fine salt, so I cooperated with him. The factory happened to be here, and it was too difficult to transport it by carriage. I wanted to use a boat directly."

Ah Yun said happily: "Sure, I heard that you became an official..."

As she spoke, she stood up and knelt on the ground.

"I should salute you."

"Don't..." Jiusu quickly held her hand to stop her from doing this, "If you do this again, I won't come again."

Chen Nianhai brought tea and looked across the lake. He could only see a little bit. He said, "Is that the Yu family salt field? I heard that there were five people in the Yu family, and only the eldest son is left."

Jiusu was stunned, she didn't know what was going on.

Ayun's father sighed, "It happened twenty years ago. At that time, there were clear regulations for salt production, and the regulations on salt were very strict. The Yu family had no one in the officialdom, and was severely suppressed by the Zhang and Feng families. As a result, the conflict escalated. During a trip, the master, mistress, and two sons of the Yu family all died. Yu Da, who was only ten years old, took on the responsibility."

No one dares to recall that tragedy anymore.

The government officials didn't dare to investigate, for fear that they would find out about their hometown.

Jiusu asked: "What happens next?"

Ayun's father's eyes lit up, as if he had waited for the clouds to clear and see the moon.

"After that, Yu Da won over the Yu family for five years and started making salt again, breaking the monopoly of Zhang and Feng families on salt. Of course, they wanted to use the same trick again, but they couldn't find any evidence. At the age of 18, Yu Da became a well-known salt producer."

Those who are not in the know secretly sigh at how difficult it is.

Jiusu frowned. No wonder Yu Da said that bloodshed was inevitable, because the blood of the Yu family had already flowed like a river. So he understood and he was not afraid.

Then she has nothing to be afraid of.

"I didn't expect there to be so much fighting in Yanli. I guess it's really too dangerous for you to transport it."

Ayun lowered his head.

Chen Nianhai scratched his head. "A man has great ambitions. How can he be scared and fall down before he even starts working? You are a girl and you dare to do these things. How can I back down? I will organize the fleet."

Ayun raised her head, glanced at her man, and then looked at her father and mother.

He pursed his lips, then smiled and said, "He is good at swimming, nothing will happen to him."

Ayun's father: "As a man, you must not be afraid of hardship, fatigue or death, so that you can make money and protect your woman. Nianhai, don't worry, follow Master Jiu and start a career. We all support you."

Chen Nianhai was very touched.

"I will definitely not let Master Jiu and you down."

Before leaving, Ayun said to her: "By the way, Yu Zhong is a relative of the Yu family salt field."

To the public?

Oh, yes, I saw him a few days ago. He was beaten up by Jiang Jing and I don’t know where he went. If he is Yu Da’s relative, I can ask him tentatively next time.

When we returned to the county town, it was dark.

Jiusu didn't have classes, but she still had to go to Huating Academy. She left three pills for me, "If I can't make it in time, take them."

Jiang Jing looked at the small pill with deep eyes, and held her slender white fingers as he took the pill.

"In half a month, the academy will have winter vacation, and I'm almost done with my homework. I'll finish making fine salt with you by then. Remember, don't get into trouble, or I'll commit suicide."

Of course I have to take revenge first, he added in his mind.

Jiusu glared at him, still threatening him like this?

Looking at his serious face, she exhaled and said, "Why does the academy have so many holidays? Is it serious?"

Jiang Jing smiled, "It's pretty serious at the moment."

Outside the mansion, just like last night, there were people waiting at the gate. Zitan went to see, and saw that there were also people waiting at the back door. Jiusu had to get off the carriage to deal with them.

Zhang Zhiyi asked aggrievedly, "Master Jiu doesn't like me?"

Jiusu was silent. In front of the parents, was he really trying to lose face by talking about whether he was happy or not? Just treat her as a turtle in the wishing well, isn't it okay to fulfill his wish?

She smiled distantly: "Mr. Zhang and I are not of the same kind."
