"How can a person not make mistakes in his life? If he makes a mistake, he must correct it. That is the best!" Bao Ding comforted him.

"I've roughly understood your situation."

"Zhu Junzi Business recently plans to open a semicolon in Sangmu County. Join the Zhu Junzi Semi-colon. As a laborer, although you can't make a lot of money, there is no problem in supporting your family."

"I suggest you give it a try."

The middle-aged man suddenly burst into tears and left with the deed of the house and thanked him.

Then, Baoding read out the names of several families and returned the contracts they mortgaged in the Heilong Club to the original owner one by one.

Baoding is just an opening ceremony, and then County Magistrate Sun will arrange for the clerk to take over this kind of work.

Bao Ding looked around and said aloud: "Most of these contracts were just deceived by the Black Dragon Club and were addicted to playing games for a while."

"Then I owe a huge sum of money from the Black Dragon Society, and contributed most of the income from hard work all year round to the Black Dragon Society."

"Now, although the case of the Sangmu Branch of the Heilonghui has been closed, except for Shi Jin, who fled, all the criminals have been arrested and convicted!"

"Although the case is over, life still has to continue. I hope all the villagers will remember what happened today!"

"This half-destroyed ward is here, and no changes will be made! Warn for later generations!"

Thunderous applause came from the scene. Even the cousin reached out and pressed it several times before the applause gradually became smaller.

Bao Ding continued: "Shi Shi, the owner of Zhu Junzi Business, learned about the situation in Sangmu County, specially implemented new recruitment standards in various local semicolons."

"Sections in various places, those who are poor at home will be given priority in recruitment. All workers under the Zhujunzi Business Company can apply for interest-free loans from the Chamber of Commerce to overcome the difficulties!"

"The money borrowed will be deducted from the subsequent wages of the laborers in each quarter until they are paid off."

After Bao Ding said this, the scene fell into a strange silence.

Everyone looked at each other, all with incredible expressions.

The landlords would lend extra ploughing tools, grain planting and even oxen from tenants and hired farmers, and the interest they received was paid for by grain after the autumn harvest.

The money house needs collateral to lend money and charges quite high interest.

Even some people who borrow money from mutual aid among fellow villagers usually do not have completely interest-free!

Bao Ding looked around, smiled slightly, and continued.

"Of course, Shi Dashanren also mentioned to this photographer that the single loan amount of labor workers in the Chamber of Commerce is less than twenty taels of silver, and there are only about three to five opportunities to lend emergency funds in a month."

"After all, he is just a small business. If he lends too much interest-free money, he can't stand it."

The entourage of the Shetisi only received two stakes of copper coins per month, that is, two taels of silver.

Twenty taels of silver are equivalent to the income of an ordinary family for more than half a year!

County Magistrate Sun praised this kind of good deeds. Wang Ma and Bai Tuanzheng shouted loudly, and the leading figures in Sangmu County also nodded repeatedly, and were amazed.

The thunderous cheers and applause sounded again at the scene, which lasted for a long time.

At this time, the lords had already climbed down the wooden ladder and were protected by the militia. They separated the enthusiastic people and returned to the guard headquarters first.

.........

Three days later, the prisoner rushed out all morning and was about to not alarm the villagers and quietly returned to the county department.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I saw hundreds or thousands of people coming from nearby villages and towns, most of whom were carrying a basket of eggs or cooked cakes, or small jars of rice wine made from home, waiting quietly by the roadside, looking forward to it.

The head of the militia held the irritation of the wind and said to Bao Ding with some apology: "Mr. Bao, I don't know who leaked the news. I have persuaded you just now, but the villagers just refused to go back."

Bao Ding smiled and patted Bo Chang's shoulder, indicating that it would be fine, then he walked to a little boy with a horn with his head, touched two hot cakes from the bamboo basket he was carrying.

"Dear fellow villagers, I have accepted your wishes! But I can't bring any of them!"

Bao Ding had no airs and patted the little boy's head intimately, then looked sad, causing a burst of kind laughter.

"Don't make a noise, many people in the city thought I left for the county after noon. It's not good to disturb people's dreams!"

Bao Ding smiled and made a gesture of silence, bowed in all directions, then stepped on the stirrup and left with a cool look.

Along the way, there were already people in groups of three or three carrying gifts representing their wishes and spontaneously heading towards the guard headquarters. However, not many people discovered the Lord Bao, who was returning to Junshi by the night before dawn.

.........

In the 1314th year of Qianyue's calendar, just after the beginning of autumn.

The weather is extremely hot and there is no heat yet. As the saying goes, "The heat is in the three days and the autumn is in the middle of the year."

Zhangjiagang in Peijun is a small fishing port.

From Zhangjiagang to sea, it will go east. It takes about four or five days and nights to enter the Thousand Islands of the East China Sea.

Qiandao, one of the four major ghost realms in Qianyue Continent.

Peijun has a coastline of hundreds of miles, and the coastal villages are basically all fishing villages of large and small.

The survival status of these fishing villages can actually be summarized in just four words: there are more monks and less porridge.

The boat journey of a small fishing boat going out to sea for two or three days and nights is still near the sea.

Hundreds of fishing villages and two or three thousand fishing boats formed an invisible huge screen, almost netting all the big and small fish in the coastal area of ​​Peijun.

Behind a fishing boat, large or small, is usually a hungry family.

Even though the county governor repeatedly ordered a fishing ban, who could listen?

After fishing out the offshore areas, the fishing boats will naturally take risks closer to the Thousand Islands, as if drinking poison to quench thirst.

On this day, in the afterglow of the sunset, the three fishing boats that went out to sea to fish from Zhangjiagang returned to the fishing port two or three days earlier than before.

What is quite strange is that there are not many fishing catches on the three fishing boats, but the draw is extremely deep, as if they are dragging something heavy.

The lighthouse on the high ground on one side of the port has already conveyed the information about the return of the fishing boat back to the fishing village.

The men, women, young and old in the fishing village went together and came to the port near the port, waiting to help deal with the catch.

The weather is hot, and the catch needs to be made into dried salted fish as early as possible to keep as much as possible.

However, the villagers found that the three fishing boats did not enter the port, but turned straight to the dock.

"What's going on? The boat got into the water?"

"It shouldn't be a water inflow. The banners on the three ships are normal."

"However, I see that the fishing boats of the three Niu brothers have mostly dragged something back."

"Ah! I also saw that there were cables behind the fishing boats, and the other end of the cable was under the sea."

"It seems that the size of the underwater thing should not be large..."

"Shipwreck! Half of the shipwreck is dragged behind!" The lookout on the lighthouse walked out, his hands folded into a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly at the people in the direction of the port.

The small fishing port may seem very convenient in this regard.

People with a louder voice only need to shout a few times and the entire fishing village will know everything, so there is no need to post any notice.

When the villagers present heard that it was a shipwreck, they rushed towards the dock.

When the Thousand Islands were not entirely ghost domains, the fleet of Han Kingdom often used ocean currents and monsoons to navigate the sea.

Go south and travel to and from Wu Kingdom, located south of Guigu and north of Jianzhong Mountain.

Or head north to reach the former co-lord of the countries in Ganyue continent: Ji Kingdom.

The powerful fleet of Han Kingdom escorted the fleet covered with sails and exchanged a wide range of goods for a large number of silver blooms.

With the continuous expansion of the Thousand Islands Ghost Domain, the sea routes of Han Kingdom were greatly threatened, and beasts that were a little larger than warships often took the initiative to attack the fleet.

Therefore, there are actually many shipwrecks on various foreign routes of Hanguo on the seabed near the Qiandao Ghost Domain.

There have been several precedents of fishing in small fishing villages along Peijun that salvaged the wreckage of silver ships during fishing.

Some of them directly pull the large iron boxes transporting silver onto the boat and take them back to the fishing village. This situation is naturally the most convenient.

Some people who cannot remove large iron boxes or silver ingots will directly drag the wreck back to the fishing village, disassemble the wreckage in the dock, and remove the silver ingots.

The elder in the village, holding a cane, followed slowly behind everyone, frowned, and looked at the expression as if he had remembered something unpleasant.

When the elder slowly walked into the dock, the wreckage of the wreck had been forcibly removed, and the villagers were talking, as if they did not feel much ecstasy.

Many storm lamps and torches have been lit around the dock, and the light is as bright as daytime.

"Niu Da, have you three brothers sneaked into the Qiandao Sea to fish again?" The old man looked at the dense barnacles, moss and seaweed at the bottom of the three fishing boats, and asked with a calm face.

The elder seemed quite prestigious among the villagers. As soon as he spoke, the villagers stopped.

"Uncle, everyone still has a bite now. Isn't it all done like this?" A middle-aged man with tanned skin said in a deep voice: "The same is true in other fishing villages!"

"Uncle, we haven't encountered the huge beasts you mentioned, so we walked in for a long time. Then we caught this big thing." A middle-aged man who looked 70% or 80% like Niu Daxiang took over the conversation and said.

"Yes! If it weren't for this thing, we wouldn't have worked hard to drag the wreck back." The other one is probably the third brother of the Niu family, who is younger.

He then complained, "I went down to tie the cable. This big iron box has no more ears, otherwise we will just pull the box back and count them!"

In the open space next to the dock, the large iron box had been forcibly smashed open, revealing a stone the size of a millstone inside.

There is nothing else other than that.

The old man leaned closer and looked at the large stone carefully. He suddenly felt a dizzy turn. He barely stood firm with his crutches on his hands, staring fiercely at the three Niu brothers.

"I've been killed by you... I've been killed by you!"

The villagers quickly divided the two of them to support the old man, and someone else was behind the old man and was angry for him.

Niu San smiled, scratched his head, and asked in confusion: "Uncle, what is this? Is it a ballast stone? Why is it so heavy!"
