The Only Favourite Ugly Husband Chapter 128: Something went wrong in the salt field
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the ugly husband!
There was a lot of fish soup from the cafeteria. Those Jiang Zhen who came back from the outside got a big bowl alone.
In the winter, I feel really good with a bowl of hot fish soup. Unfortunately, there is no chili at this time. Otherwise, I can eat boiled fish and have a hot pot.
Jiang Zhen is not an unpleasant person, but he still likes to eat all kinds of spicy dishes. After a long time, he missed it even more.
When eating fish, Jiang Zhen picked up the meat on the belly of the fish, and Jiang Zhen gave Zhao Mingzhu a small taste.
Zhao Mingzhu has been nine months old and was able to eat supplementary food early, but Jiang Zhen didn't dare to give her more than rice cereal, for fear that it would ruin her stomach.
Zhao Mingzhu was very fond of fish meat. After tasting a little bit, he opened his mouth and continued to ask for it. Then Jiang Zhen didn't give her fish any more, only gave her a small piece of steamed bread. She gnaws.
Zhao Mingzhu took the steamed buns and was a little dissatisfied, but seeing that Jiang Zhen didn't intend to continue to feed her, he could only eat the steamed buns aggrievedly.
The New Year is the most important holiday for the common people. A few days before the New Year, the Jin Zhen Escort will not accept business. Jiang Zhen gave all the people under his hand a holiday, and he planned to take a break. day.
When the Zhao family rested, thinking about what to eat every day, something happened in other places in Daqi.
After Zheng Yi distilled the high-quality wine, he immediately sent it to the capital with a whip and whip. Therefore, before the Chinese New Year, the wine was offered to the palace.
Although the Zheng family has given this wine an ancient name, it cannot be denied that this is a new kind of wine that has not been made for a long time and has no reputation at all.
The queen mother herself does not like to drink.
So, the wine was sent to the imperial dining room at will, without the Queen Mother's attention at all.
As a result, I don’t know if the Zheng family was lucky, but in the end, by mistake, the wine became famous.
A year ago, the Rong people in the north sent envoys to Daqi.
Daqi and the Rong people in the north have always been in constant friction. There are often battles, and usually they are lost. Every battle takes a lot of things and spends a lot of food and grass. Fill in many lives.
For this reason, the method of stitching up wounds provided by Jiang Zhen before has attracted the attention of military commanders.
And this year, Daqi and the Rong people fought again, not to mention, there was also a bit of civil unrest over the Rong people...
The original sweat of the Rong people was a little overwhelmed by the internal disturbances. Suddenly, they remembered that Daqi had come, and they found a messenger to come to Daqi, and asked to marry the princess of Daqi to make peace.
It was originally nothing, but the scholars of Daqi looked down on the people of Rong, and the people of Rong looked down on the people of Daqi. In the end, there was a conflict between the two sides.
Those Rong people, when the Queen Mother hosted a banquet to entertain them, they said that Da Qi’s drinks were as "soft" as Da Qi’s people, and they were boring. They also said that women over there didn’t drink it. thing.
This can be regarded as a slap in the face of Daqi by the reason of drinking, and the queen mother was angry on the spot. At this time, he suddenly remembered the spirits that Master Zheng Er gave her.
The queen mother immediately asked someone to bring the wine.
Actually, at this time, Daqi already had some methods to purify the wine, but even if it was purified, the degree was not high. Zheng Yi got the method provided by Jiang Zhen and kept distilling, but it was a high degree. The wine comes.
One end of the wine came up, and the strong aroma of the wine made the people of Rong speechless, one by one, after they drank it...
Before that, the Rong people who said that they were not drunk were so drunk that they couldn't get up, and he was very ugly.
That's all, the next day, the Rong people actually wanted to ask for this wine.
Master Zheng Er is one of the queen dowager’s confidantes. He always deals with the empress dowager’s confidantes. The Queen Mother always valued him very much. This time Zheng Erye made another contribution. He immediately rewarded Master Zheng. This Qingfeng wine has become a tribute.
In the future, the value of this Qingfeng wine will undoubtedly rise again.
Of course, the news has not yet reached Hecheng County. At this moment, the officials and businessmen of Hexing Mansion were all caught by another incident.
Before Zhou Maohe went to the Zheng family to find Jiang Zhen's troubles. In fact, most of the people in Hexing Mansion didn't take it seriously. After all, they had nothing to do with them. It was just a small matter, but this time it was different.
Zhou Maohe got into trouble this time!
He was sent to the south because the queen dowager felt it was too annoying. He actually challenged the private salt problem that the imperial servants sent to rectify the salt affairs before dared not challenge!
What's even more shocking is that he really dared to think and do too much, and he led people to copy the Hongjiang Salt Field with a thunderous force.
The famous Hongjiang Salt Field was copied by Zhou Maohe!
He could do this, and Zheng Yi was shocked.
"I asked someone to remind him a few words about this matter. I haven't had time to do anything..." After Zheng Yi got the news, he came to Hexi Village to find Jiang Zhen. When he spoke, his expression was strange. Up.
He prepared some evidence of the Hongjiang Salt Field, but before it was sent to Zhou Maohe, Zhou Maohe did something he hadn't expected.
"What the **** is going on?" Jiang Zhen couldn't help asking.
Didn't Zhou's imperial commissioner have been under Zheng Yi's monitoring? He suddenly copied the Hongjiang Salt Field. Does Zheng Yi know nothing?
"I really didn't expect that he could be so...decisive." Zheng Yi sighed, then said again: "It's just him, it's normal to do this."
Zhou Maohe copied the Hongjiang Salt Factory, but it was not because he had found out about the private salt.
After he had trouble in Hecheng County, many people were staring at him. It was very inconvenient for him to check what happened. Although he found the salt service messy and wanted to check it carefully, In fact, there is no time to check anything.
He would copy the Hongjiang Salt Field, but there are other reasons... And this, I have to talk about it from the Hongjiang Salt Field, covering the sky by the sea.
In the beginning, Jiang Zhen followed people to buy sea goods, and the people at Hongjiang Saltworks had to charge a lot of money, and they were even more rude to people living by the sea.
They sell illegal salt by themselves, but they don't allow others to touch this. The people in the seaside village, if someone cooks salt and sells salt privately, they often don't even give a chance to justify and kill the person directly.
Sometimes it is even possible to kill people in the entire village.
Hongjiang Salt Farm raises a lot of people, specifically to help them catch people who sell illegal salt through them, and also help them control a large area of the seaside, and these people, under their deliberate indulgence, are actually fighting with bandits and pirates. No difference.
Not only will they kill the people who sell illegal salt, but afterwards, the ordinary people in the village will have to do harm.
Of course, they are not going to kill people for no reason, but playing with the girls in the village or something.
Zhou Maohe learned that private salt was rampant, and when repeated prohibitions continued, he did not suspect that the Shanghongjiang Salt Works—who would have thought that the salt works built by the imperial court would sell private salt?
But he decided to visit the beach.
After Zhou Maohe went there, she fished out a woman who drowned herself in the river.
The woman was about to get married, but she was attracted by the people raised by the Hongjiang Salt Farm, and she was taken back captive and locked up for fun.
And she would fall into the water, but it was because she finally found a chance to escape and was chased by someone. She was desperate, so angry and anxious, she simply jumped into the river.
After Zhou Maohe learned of this, he was furious. Just then, he encountered a group of people who had escaped from the Hongjiang Salt Field.
These people are salt households in Hongjiang Salt Field.
Salt households, as the name suggests, are people who specialize in salt-related work.
In Daqi, artisans are craftsmen, and those who specialize in boiling salt are salt farmers.
The Hongjiang Salt Plant needs a lot of salt, and the salt is cooked by the salt farmers in the salt plant. However, the life of these salt households is more difficult than those of the people living by the sea.
Those people are free and can go fishing to feed themselves. If you live in An'an, you won't necessarily be caught and killed, and food and clothing can be guaranteed. These salt households are different.
These salt households are registered in the Hongjiang Salt Farm. They can only live on the salt farm. People who are close to the Hongjiang Salt Farm treat them like slaves. They will not only beat and scold them at will, but will not give them food. Pretty women, basically can't keep them.
This group of salt households who escaped is really unable to make ends meet, and they want to go outside and fight for it.
Those who dared to escape were young and strong. When Zhou Maohe met them, he learned that Hongjiang Salt Farm was doing such a nonsense and wanton killing, so he took them to the place where Hongjiang Salt Factory was. In the end, due to some mistakes, he didn't know how to take them to copy the Hongjiang Salt Field.
Accordingly, a group of people who have never fought with people in the salt field plus a literati can not enter the Hongjiang Salt Field anyway, but... Zhou Maohe's luck is also good.
He can participate in this and that all day, and in the end he is fine, knowing that his luck is definitely not bad, and this time, his luck is still very good.
When he took a group of angry people to the Hongjiang Salt Farm, it happened to be the New Year's Eve. Many people from the Hongjiang Salt Farm went home to reunite with their families, and the rest were still drinking and having fun, unconscious.
Because of the New Year, the woman who jumped into the river could find a chance to escape. It was also because of the New Year that the salt households could flee collectively while their defenses were lax. Finally, because of the New Year, they even copied the Hongjiang Salt Farm.
After copying this, Zhou Maohe discovered that the Hongjiang Saltworks had done so many appalling things, and they had made the private salt!
Zhou Maohe became angry immediately, and while sending people to report to the capital, he contacted the nearby civilian and military attache.
As a result, not only did those people not help him catch the Hongjiang Salt Works, but they also defined the incident that he took the Yanhu to copy the Hongjiang Salt Works as the Yanhu Rebellion and sent soldiers to suppress it.
"He is also stupid. Those officials are all related to the Hongjiang Saltworks." Zheng Yi sighed: "Now the Hongjiang Saltworks is completely messed up. No salt can be shipped out, and I don't know what happened inside. What's the matter." The people he sent to follow Zhou Maohe were very clever, and when they found that something was not right, they ran out.
Because of this, he has learned a lot of news, but it is impossible to know the subsequent news.
Jiang Zhen felt helpless after hearing the ins and outs of Zheng Yi.
He wanted Zhou Maohe to check the private salt, and then found the head of the Hongjiang Salt Farm, but he did not expect that Zhou Maohe finally found the Hongjiang Salt Farm because he wanted to seek justice for a group of salt farmers.
Because of this, things are progressing very fast, which is unexpected.
"Now the entire Hexing Mansion, even the Wuzhong Mansion in the north, is in chaos. Fortunately, we are fine in Hecheng County... I have already sent a letter to my second uncle, and I don’t know how the court will deal with this. Thing." Zheng Yi said.
The magistrate of Hecheng County followed the Zheng family. At most, he didn't see it and didn't intervene when the boat loaded with private salt came over. Now Hecheng County has not been involved.
But elsewhere... I don’t know what it will turn out to be when this is a big deal, and Zhou Maohe, he is stuck there now, and I don’t know how it is going. Up.
Jiang Zhen didn't speak, but he used a small knife to cut the bamboo, cutting the bamboo into strips.
"What are you doing?" Zheng Yi asked.
"It's going to be the Lantern Festival, I want to make a lantern." Jiang Zhen said, after saying that, he threw all the bamboo and the knife on the ground.
He had nothing to do in the past few days, so he suddenly remembered to make a few lanterns. Now that he has something to do, he naturally has no time to toss about this.
"You do have Yaxing." Zheng Yidao. He used to make lantern paper kites, but he didn't have this skill when he got older.
"It's gone now." Jiang Zhen said.
Zheng Yi looked at Jiang Zhen curiously, but Jiang Zhen suddenly said: "I want to take someone to the Hongjiang Salt Farm to see."
Zheng Yi was surprised and suspected that he had heard it wrong.
But Jiang Zhen was sure.
If in modern times, he already had a wife and a son, it would be impossible for him to go to a very dangerous place where two people were fighting, after all, he accidentally ate a bullet at that time. , He has only a dead end.
But at the moment there are no weapons that are too dangerous.
What's more, he stayed in Hexi Village and didn't go out, and he couldn't guarantee his 100% safety.
Jiang Zhen made a decision, but to leave, he still needs to make some preparations, two days later.
After Zheng Yi left, Jiang Zhen went to find Brother Zhao Jin.
Brother Zhao Jin is talking to a few people in Hexi Village, asking them to follow him to Fucheng and help him take care of the duck farm and chicken farm over there.
They have already talked about it. When they saw Jiang Zhen, Zhao Jin didn't say anything. He asked them to go back first, and then looked at Jiang Zhen: "Zheng Shao went back?"
"Yeah." Jiang Zhen nodded, and suddenly said: "I want to go out in two days?"
"Go to Fucheng? I will go with you."
"It's not going to Fucheng, you can't follow this time." Jiang Zhen said.
"Where are you going?" Seeing Jiang Zhen's serious expression, Zhao Jin faintly felt something was wrong.
Jiang Zhen thought for a while, but decided not to hide from Zhao Jin: "I'm going to the beach."
"What do you do to go to the beach?" Zhao Jin asked puzzledly. Jiang Zhen used to go to the beach to buy goods, but now... they don't like that business anymore.
Brother Zhao Jin suddenly became a little uneasy.
"There was an accident in the Hongjiang Salt Field, I'm going to see it." Jiang Zhen sighed and told Zhao Jin what Zheng Yi had said.
"It's so dangerous, what are you going to do?" Brother Zhao Jin said without thinking.
"Although it is dangerous over there, there are also big opportunities waiting, and there are those escorts under me...These people have never seen blood and need to exercise." Jiang Zhen said.
"I'll go too!" Brother Zhao Jin frowned tightly: "I fight very well, much better than He Chunsheng and the others!"
"Brother Jin, you might be pregnant with a child in your stomach." Jiang Zhen said. Jiang Zhen didn't know if there was a child in Zhao Jin's belly, but he didn't want Zhao Jin to go to dangerous places, that's for sure.
Brother Zhao Jin thought of what happened when he went to the capital, and he was suddenly speechless.
