"Share the profits equally? Just dream!" For an official of Yuan Tiangang's level, Yang Jishan didn't bother to look at him. He stretched out two fingers, waved them in front of Yuan Tiangang, and said, "This is already the case.
Young Master’s greatest gift!”
Yuan Tiangang is a smart man, and the Yang family is very powerful. It is impossible for him to sit on the side of the villagers. But Liu Ziqiu's face was a bit unclear to him, which made him afraid, so he readily agreed to help the villagers. But Yang Jishan only
The willingness to transfer 20% of the benefits was far from Liu Ziqiu's request. Yuan Tiangang had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Master Yang, don't forget, there are experts in the village!"
Yang Jishan jumped up from the seat, turned around and saw Yang Heihu, suddenly sat back down, and said in a deep voice: "Ask them to send someone over to talk!"
Yang Heihu didn't hide anything about what happened on the dock yesterday. As a lucky one among the generals of the Yang family, Yang Heihu didn't have the courage to fight with him. Although this made Yang Jishan quite angry, it was more about that person.
fear.
Yang Heihu hurriedly reminded: "The eldest master has ordered that here..."
Because this place has been empty, not many people in the court remember that this is the property of the Yang family. Before Yang Jishan left, Yang Xuangan told him that outsiders were not allowed to enter the manor at will. For Yuan Tiangang, a shrewd local official, which senior officials were there
Naturally, we know all about the industries in this county, so we can find them ourselves. But attracting the villagers from Changshan Village is another matter.
In the village, Yang Jishan didn't even dare to go. This morning, he sent out more than a hundred people, and when they came back, they were still in a state of embarrassment. Some people's feet were pierced and they couldn't walk; some people were covered in scars.
, bloody and bloody; others had bumps all over their heads, swollen like pig heads. There were many agencies outside the village, and Yang Jishan thought he was a gentleman, and he did not want to put himself in danger.
But he saw Yuan Tiangang cupping his hands and saying, "If Mr. Yang is in trouble, and my subordinate is willing to be the middle man, please ask him to move to the county government office. I wonder what your wishes are?"
If this matter can be facilitated, it will be a big trouble for Yanguan County.
"Let me think about it again and give you a reply within three days." At this time, Yang Jishan had calmed down. The matter was a big one and he could not make the decision.
The whole day, the villagers were on high alert and no one went out to sea to fish. Vanilla was still a little weak, but she was able to walk around and rushed to help Gao Xiuer with housework. The two sisters were both hard-working people.
At dusk, some villagers spontaneously ran outside the village and set up the destroyed traps again. Although Liu Ziqiu felt that it was unnecessary, he did not dare to arbitrarily guarantee that this was related to the lives and wealth of the villagers. However, Liu Ziqiu still
It is suggested that the villagers take turns to keep vigil, there is no need to make everyone exhausted. He has not slept all day and night, and Liu Ziqiu himself wants to have a good rest.
But here comes the problem, Daniel's house only has one bed.
Gao Xiuer took the initiative and said: "Brother, you can go and sleep inside. Vanilla and I can talk outside and I don't feel sleepy."
Liu Ziqiu still had to talk about his style. He patted his solid chest and said, "Okay, there's nothing to argue about. With my body, I can just sleep on the floor!"
The night was getting darker, and neither Vanilla nor Gao Xiuer could sleep. Vanilla lay there for too long, but Gao Xiuer was full of thoughts.
Vanilla secretly glanced outside and whispered: "Sister, although Brother Daniu is a bit earthy, he is handsome, so it's better to..."
Gao Xiuer said angrily: "You little girl, you are so excited! Go to sleep!"
Vanilla pouted, not daring to speak. She turned her head and found a pair of scissors on Gao Xiuer's pillow. She was surprised and said, "Sister, what are you doing with this?"
"It's hard to know a person's face but to know his heart!" Thinking of Liu Ziqiu touching her chest while learning boxing today, Gao Xiuer felt a little hot in her ears and her heart beat, "Do you know who he is?"
Vanilla wondered: "Isn't he your husband, Brother Daniu?"
Gao Xiuer stuffed the scissors under the pillow and said, "No! He is not a big cow. If a big cow had his skills, how could he be hit by an arrow and fall into the sea?"
Until the evening of the third day, there was no movement from the Yang family. Suddenly, Yuan Tiangang sent someone to invite people from Changshan Village to go to the county tomorrow to discuss cooperation with the Yang family, and named Daniel.
The villagers gathered to discuss, and Liu Ziqiu stood up and said: "If the Yang family is willing to come forward for an interview, the matter will be half successful. The salt farm will make a lot of money every day, and everyone's future life will be guaranteed. We will leave early tomorrow morning, and we must talk about it.
Satisfactory results come.”
"Changshan Village cannot live without you." The second uncle suddenly stood up and said, "This is the Hongmen Banquet, you can't go!"
In the past few days, Liu Ziqiu has learned about the general situation of Changshan Village through insinuations. There are only two surnames in Changshan Village: Xiao Niu. The second uncle is called Xiao Xin. He is the oldest and the most knowledgeable during the Liang, Chen and Sui dynasties. The villagers are all
Listen to him.
Xiao Xin was already over sixty years old, which was considered an advanced age in this era. Liu Ziqiu couldn't bear to let him run around and work hard, so he advised: "Second uncle, if it is the Hongmen Banquet, I should go. At least I am young and can run away when in danger.
We have to hurry up, how can we let you take risks?"
Xiao Xin said without any doubt: "What if this is a trick they used to lure the tiger away from the mountain? Who will protect the village? I am already old, and it would be a shame to die! None of the young people are allowed to go!"
Liu Ziqiu knew he couldn't defeat him, so he nodded and said: "Second uncle, it's okay for you to go, but remember, the profits will be shared equally and you will never give in!"
With nothing to do, Liu Ziqiu also analyzed it carefully. It has been half a year. Although the Yang family has used various methods and injured some lives, they have not yet killed them all. Now, the Yang family is suddenly eager to massacre the village, and it must be in the salt field.
This matter cannot be delayed any longer. By seizing this point, Changshan Village will have an advantage in the negotiations.
The meeting went extremely smoothly, indicating that Xiao Xin's worries were simply unnecessary.
Yang Jishan himself did not show up, but was fully represented by Yang Heihu. Yang Heihu originally planned to explore the true and falsehoods of the "big cow" during the meeting, but a bad old man came, which greatly disappointed him.
The banquet was held in the county government office, with fine wine, delicacies, and kabuki music. Yuan Tiangang took the chair, Xiao Xin and Yang Heihu sat on both sides, and the three of them ate and talked.
The Yang family did a lot of homework in advance. They told Xiao Xin that if a salt farm was opened, how big it could be and how much salt it could produce every day was clearly listed. Xiao Xin calculated on his fingers that he could earn at least a thousand dollars a month.
Two pieces of silver!
Xiao Xin has stayed in Changshan Village all his life and never thought that he and the villagers were just guarding a precious land to beg for food.
However, the Yang family is not worried that Changshan Village will regret it. Yang Heihu made it clear that if Changshan Village wants to open its own salt farm, even if they have the funds, as long as they do not have the support of the Yang family, they will never be able to sell a tael of salt!
This is the bargaining chip that the Yang family relies on.
Moreover, the Yang family has also thoroughly investigated the situation in Changshan Village. There are only 78 households in Changshan Village with a population of more than 300, and only a hundred of them can work in the salt field. With this little capital, they want to make a profit with the Yang family
Even distribution is simply impossible!
Xiao Xin was stunned, but remembering the "Big Bull"'s instructions before leaving, she still insisted: "The profits must be shared equally, otherwise there is no need to talk!"
Yang Heihu laughed and said: "Old man, don't be too greedy! Our young master said that I will give you 35% at most. In one month, it will be 350 taels of silver. You can come and go, and you can earn it all year round.
Is this the number?”
Xiao Xin was speechless and silently pressed his fingerprints on the contract. Yuan Tiangang also signed his name, but Yang Heihu used Yang Jishan's private seal. The contract was made in triplicate, Changshan Village, Yang Family, Yanguan
Each county has its own authority.
Although he did not meet the conditions proposed by Liu Ziqiu, Xiao Xin was still very happy when he thought that the village would have an income of 350 taels per month. More importantly, this time the county magistrate personally sent him to the city gate to let him
He felt extra proud.
Yuan Tiangang has been sending Li Xin to Wuliting in the east of the city, and then he raised his hand and said: "Old man, this county will no longer send you far away. Please tell the old man to tell Daniu Zhuangshi when he goes back and ask him to come to the county government office when he is free. This county
I have to make a fortune for him myself!"
Xiao Xin agreed wholeheartedly.
The contract was written in traditional Chinese characters, but Liu Ziqiu could still distinguish the general content, but it was a bit difficult. However, he could clearly see the small line of text at the end of the contract "In July of the third year of the Sui Dynasty Daye". 35%
It was far from his intended goal, and after careful calculation, the second uncle was deceived by the Yang family. The profit from the salt farm was more than a thousand taels per month! This was a failed negotiation!
"Daniu, you are illiterate, what do you think it will do? Let me read it to everyone!" Xiao Xin saw Liu Ziqiu frowning, grabbed the contract, and read it in front of all the villagers.
When they heard that the village could earn 350 taels a month from now on, the villagers cheered. This was really a huge sum of money for them, and it was much better than fishing.
Liu Ziqiu saw that the simple villagers were very satisfied and stopped talking. After all, this was the villagers' own business, and he had no intention of living in the village for a long time, let alone becoming a salt farm owner. His dream was to one day be able to
Returning to modern times is the direction of his efforts.
However, Liu Ziqiu still planned to fight for the villagers again and said: "Second uncle, we should add one more!"
Xiao Xin was stunned and asked: "What else should I add?"
Liu Ziqiu said: "We should let the Yang family advance this month's dividends first! From now on, everyone will go to work in the salt field, and no one will go out to sea to fish. If we don't advance some money, will we let everyone drink the northwest wind this month?"
Xiao Xin slapped her thigh and said: "Yes, why didn't I think of this level? Daniel, the county magistrate asked you to go to his place. He wants to do a fortune telling for you. Why don't you go there tomorrow? Please
He will mention it to the Yang family again. I think the county magistrate always looks at you differently, so maybe it can work out."
Liu Ziqiu chuckled and said: "Whoever wants him to tell fortunes doesn't need to ask him. Someone from the Yang family will definitely come tomorrow, and I will talk to the Yang family directly!"
