I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 74 He's Not an Actor!
Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, aren't they talking about blocking the river?
Why are you talking about salt all of a sudden?
What do you want my salt for?

The man he asked about hesitated and did not move, but turned his head to look at his own villager, waiting for his meaning.

But the village magistrate Chen Guangde didn't understand what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd?

Seeing that he didn't move, Guo Yi didn't urge him, just smiled brightly, and continued firmly: "If I'm not wrong, the salt in your house is sifted from the wasteland on the east bank of the river, right? "

Hearing his words, these men in Liuhe Village were shocked immediately.

They all stared at him with wide eyes.

One of the men couldn't help blurting out: "How do you know?"

This is equivalent to admitting it himself.

"Hehe!" Guo Yi leaned casually under the tree, and continued with a smile: "I can spray white salt from it, which is a hundred times better than the kind of bitter salt with soil you eat at home!"

"What? Can you get the salt out of that soil?"

At this moment, a group of men from Liuhe Village surrounded him unconsciously, all staring at him with bright eyes.

And their actions startled Zhu Zhu, he quickly opened his arms, and used his strong bear-like body to block his second young master behind him.

Guo Yi was quite touched and amused, pushed him aside, looked at the crowd of men who came up, and continued to say indifferently: "According to the regulations of our Great Zhou Dynasty, it is illegal to make and sell salt privately." !"

Everyone was stunned, yes, it is illegal to make and sell salt privately!

If caught by the government, the light one will be fined with copper, the middle one will be imprisoned, and the severe one will be beheaded...

Guo Yi is very satisfied with their reaction, which proves that they still have fear, and they are not big treacherous people.

So, pointing to the Taoist, he smiled and said, "The Taoist behind me is a member of the government. He was ordered to set up a salt factory here to boil and dry salt.

Therefore, if you want to recruit workers from Liuhe Village, you need 120 Wen per person per day.One knot per month. "

"What? The government wants to set up a salt farm?"

"A salary of 120 Wen a day?"

The men in these villages responded with disbelief.

How can there be such a high salary in this world?

How can it be?

Wouldn't it be possible to make a consistent amount of money in seven days?

When the Taoist saw what Guo Yi said, he immediately understood what he meant. He reached out and took out a waist card from his pocket, held it up to him, and said following Guo Yi's words: "He is the clerk of the Jiangling government office. Everything you say counts! 120 Wen per person per day can be used as evidence!"

The monk followed suit with a serious nod and said, "A certain person is also a witness."

This time, the men in Liuhe Village finally believed it.Everyone looked at me and I looked at you with joy on their faces.

In addition to farming and running a boat, there is actually extra income!

But one of the men frowned and shouted loudly: "The wasteland in the east of the river was originally the field of our Liuhe village."

Hearing his yelling, the others also came to their senses from the joy, and yelled along with him: "Yes! The third brother is right, the wasteland on the east bank of the river originally belonged to our Liuhe Village!"

"That piece of wasteland can't grow food at all, but the government insists on taxing us!"

Guo Yi only heard the general idea of ​​these messy voices.But this is enough, as for the content, you can even guess it with your feet.

With this in mind, Guo Yi stretched out his hand to signal them to be quiet, and then asked the village official Chen Guangde: "How many fields in your Liuhe Village are counted in that wasteland?"

Chen Guangde reported a number without hesitation: "57 mu!"

Well, not too much.

Guo Yi nodded and added: "Well, let's not talk too much, I will give you 57 years of taxes on this 57 acres of land. And, from now on, the taxes on these [-] acres of land will be included in the salt tax." .feasible?"

"En! En! En! It's doable!" Chen Guangde nodded without hesitation.

Not only him, but the other onlookers were also extremely excited.

Is there such a good thing?

I saw money back...

I have lived for nearly 60 years, and this is the first time I have encountered it!
This handsome young man in front of him, he must have just become an official, right?
Standing behind Chen Guangde was a frail young man wearing a dark blue cross-collared robe, with a brand new black soft-footed headband, dressed as a literati student, who had been standing quietly just now, without speaking.

At this time, seeing that Guo Yi offered such a generous offer, he couldn't help but interjected: "Dare to ask this brother Wen, what you say is true, do you dare to make a written statement?"

When the Taoist took out the waist card just now, these mountain people must not have known him, but as a scholar, he still has some knowledge.Know that's true.

However, the waist card belongs to the waist card, and the writings belong to the writings.

"Hehe!" The scholar was rather interesting.

Guo Yi smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

Seeing his affirmative answer, the frail young man went into the room to get his pen and ink.

Chen Guangde took the opportunity to introduce: "This is the eldest grandson of the old man, Chen Wenjing. He is not as weak as the crown, and has not yet taken the title."

Soon, Chen Wenjing took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the house, and began to draw up written documents on the stone table in the yard.

After finishing writing, handed it to him.Guo Yi didn't even look at it, and passed it directly to the Taoist.

Who would have thought that Daoist Xianyun, the head of the Jiangling Mansion, is not an actor at all!

I saw him read the written documents, and after confirming that they were correct, he reached out his hand and took out his Jiangling Mansion Shogunate (Official Affairs of the Judgment Office) seal from his pocket, and fastened it squarely on the written documents.

The official affairs of the magistrate's office are set up in the prefectures of Zhuzhou, and they are appointed as officials above the capital, and they are in charge of the post of magistrate and assistant to the county government.

Abbreviation, signing.

The written documents are in triplicate, one for each party, and the other is handed over to the government for archiving.

Chen Guangde carefully put away his share, folded it and put it in his sleeve.But suddenly he felt that the sleeve was not safe, so he took it out and put it in his arms.

At this time, a stout man couldn't wait to ask: "The papers have also been signed, so when will the saltworks be opened?"

Guo Yi scanned the crowd and responded without hesitation: "Blocking the Hankou first, and blocking the river mouth to store water is the first priority. We also need to make a gantry and put it on the gate for the passage of ships."

"Okay! Then we will block the river mouth tomorrow!"

"Yes! We will start blocking tomorrow!"

"Block it tomorrow!"

The men around were very excited, waving their hands and shouting indiscriminately.

Guo Yi frowned slightly, ignored him, turned his head to look at Feng Lao Si who came with him, cupped his hands and said, "Fourth Uncle Feng, I want to write a letter and send it back to Jiangling City by Zhuzi tomorrow. Please take him back by water.

After you get the reply letter and things, you send them back to him.

I'll give you double the fare! "

When Feng Laosi heard such a good thing, he hurriedly bowed his hands to return the gift, smiled and nodded in agreement: "Success! Xiao Langjun, don't worry!"

Guo Yi nodded, then looked back at the Taoist, and asked, "Does the Taoist priest have a letter, let Zhuzi take it back with him?"

"Okay!" The Taoist nodded in response.
