Chapter 227: Rushing to watch Huo Yaoxing's show
The housekeeper's men were so frightened that they stepped back.
"It's not that serious. How can it get to the point of killing people?" Wen Yan waved her hands. "After all, this is Meng Xiyan's territory. If we kill people here, it will have a bad influence on him."
"Are we going to let these people go?" Uncle Shitou was so angry. If it weren't for the young lady's wit, he didn't know how badly he would have been bullied.
"Send them to the government office and let Meng Xiyan deal with it himself. Just say that these people are following the orders of their master and disobeying the government office." Wen Yan said loudly, and then whispered to explain to the two of them, "They claim that all the charcoal in Jinyang Prefecture is their family property. They are such a big fat sheep, and if I don't make a lot of money, I will be sorry for all my hard work."
Uncle Shitou couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. So this was what she was planning.
Sure enough, if you mess with the young lady, you will be skinned alive if not killed.
Why did the Zhu family have to mess with her?
The housekeeper always finds the name "Meng Xiyan" familiar.
After a while, he remembered that it was the name of the new prefect.
His eyes widened in shock.
Do they have a close relationship with the prefect?
Then I would have hit a wall.
He was shocked and angry, and quickly signaled his men to run away.
The men immediately fled in all directions.
Uncle Shitou and Uncle Tian can press two buttons at a time, and Xiao Hei also goes up to help.
In a short while, five or six people were knocked down.
The rest fled.
When Uncle Shitou strung them together, he smiled and reminded the housekeeper, "Do you know that we are here on orders from the government to teach you how to make charcoal?
The charcoal produced is not sold locally but shipped south.”
"What!" The butler's eyes widened in shock. His struggling body instantly went limp. He finally came to his senses. His master had been used by someone!
Perhaps the noise here was too loud and alarmed the people nearby.
I learned that you can teach people how to make charcoal for free here.
From time to time, people come to hang around.
Wen Yan simply asked the village chief to call those who wanted to learn in the village and opened a second kiln.
**
After Situ Ming returned to Jinyang City, he never came out again.
According to the news from the city.
Once the young leader Yuan started the trouble, the Xu family's account books could not withstand the inspection.
The source of the large amount of grain is unclear.
In the end, Situ Ming was successfully implicated and his actions were successfully controlled.
Two days later, the second batch of food arrived.
It's time for the first batch of charcoal to come out of the kiln.
After knocking off the mud seal on the top, inside were black, shiny charcoal sticks.
Wen Yan pulled out two.
Teach apprentices how to identify the quality of charcoal by: texture, color, weight, hardness, and sound when knocked.
Wen Yan took out two pieces of charcoal and tapped them gently in his hands.
The charcoal made a crisp metallic sound.
Wen Yan said, "Well, charcoal that makes metallic sounds is good charcoal.
The kind that breaks easily when squeezed is of very poor quality and can only be kept for personal use and cannot be sold.
After the charcoal is produced, do not collect it all together at once.
Instead, pack carefully according to quality.
Good quality, high price."
After collecting the charcoal, Wen Yan asked the apprentices to open a kiln of their own.
Wen Yan transported the first batch of charcoal to the rented granary.
Let’s renovate the granary first.
Remove the door sill and level the ground.
Then crush the charcoal and spread it on the bottom of the warehouse to provide the most basic moisture-proofing.
She had just finished preparing when the last batch of food arrived.
Large carts of grain were pulled into the yard, and Xu Zhuangtou sent the guards to the village to find some farmers to carry the grain.
Uncle Tian took the opportunity to blend into the team and successfully entered the house.
Wen Yan's dinner was changed from chewy dry biscuits to soup noodles with three eggs and a bowl of minced meat.
The apprentices enjoyed the meal very much.
However, after eating it, he fainted not long after.
Wen Yan and Uncle Shitou sat in the valley waiting.
It was completely dark.
Two torches suddenly lit up on the roof of the Xu family's house.
Torches signaled.
Uncle Shitou smiled and said, "It's done. Everyone in the village has been defeated."
Uncle Shitou blew a whistle and a pigeon landed on his shoulder.
Wen Yan tied the note to the pigeon's leg and let it fly away.
Not long after, in the thick darkness, several carriages carrying several groups of people entered the house.
Uncle Shitou also stood up: "Miss, I'm going to help. You are alone here, so be careful."
"Don't worry, I'll go to the granary and open the door."
The two acted separately.
Wen Yan arrived at the granary and had just finished getting ready when food was delivered in truckloads.
Wen Yan was surprised when she saw the person leading the group: "Master Wu Yunzi, why are you here too?"
Wu Yunzi pouted, looking aggrieved: "It's Pei'er! She insisted that I come and drive the carriage!"
"Miss!"
As soon as Wu Yunzi finished speaking, Pei'er emerged from a carriage behind, waving at Wen Yan with a smile.
"Pearl! You're here too!"
Pei'er jumped off the carriage and ran over: "Such an urgent matter, of course I have to come and help."
Although Uncle Lin borrowed eighty people from the young leader Yuan.
To prevent the news from leaking out, those people were only responsible for moving the grain from the Xu family's house to the freight carriage.
They were even transported into the Xu family's house in a coma.
Then, the task of transporting grain outside falls on the shoulders of Wen Yan's own people.
The three uncles are definitely too busy to handle it.
Pei'er volunteered and captured Wu Yunzi as a soldier.
As they were talking, they had already carried the grain to the room where the granary was located.
The granaries here are all cellar-style, so it doesn't take much effort to unload the grain.
Just pile it into the pit, it doesn’t matter if the sacks are broken.
After unloading the grain bags, they rushed back without stopping to continue carrying them.
About ninety people worked for three or four hours before the work was nearly finished.
Looking at the two granaries that were almost full, Wen Yan felt extremely happy.
She could already foresee how Huo Yaoxing would jump up and down and become hysterical when he found out that there was not a single grain of food left.
After harvesting the grain, she quickly dealt with Situ Ming.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to catch up and watch Huo Yaoxing’s good show.
Wen Yan asked Uncle Lin and the others to finish up, while she and Pei'er went to prepare breakfast.
Pancakes with lean meat porridge.
Pei'er is very skillful and Wen Yan helps her.
I managed to make breakfast before finishing work.
Uncle Lin brought breakfast to the Xu family's house.
Finally, before dawn, we sent away the people who came to help.
Uncle Lin is responsible for sending the helpers back to the city.
Uncle Tian and Uncle Shitou cleared the path to the granary next door.
Erase all traces of the carriage passing by.
They also created traces of a convoy heading north and leaving the customs.
After arranging all this, they returned to the charcoal kiln.
The apprentices gradually regained consciousness, rubbing their heads. "Why is it already dawn? My head hurts!"
Wen Yan also woke up.
She hit her head and said, "We seem to be bewitched by you!"
Wen Yan immediately looked at the apprentices with sharp eyes: "Who of you gave them the drug? What do you want to do?"
Xiao Hei also woke up.
Seeing that Master Chouniang was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and ran towards the charcoal kiln.
He walked around the charcoal kiln twice and found nothing wrong, so he reported to Wen Yan: "Master, the charcoal kiln is fine."
Because there was no loss at the scene, Wen Yan did not pursue the matter any further.
Three days later, the second batch of charcoal came out of the kiln.
