Chapter 937 Wu Xiumin
Li Tieniu came to Jiang Xiaoxiao and said, "Mr. Jiang, thank you for what you did today."
This time, Master Jiang saved the lives of all the villagers, which was even greater than the last time he saved their lives.
What's more, this saved the lives of their entire family. This time, the disaster was caused by him and his sister.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and helped Li Tieniu up.
"Don't say such polite words. Anyone who encounters such a thing must take action. Besides, I live in this village and regard it as my place of residence. It is equivalent to my home. If anyone bullies my family, I will naturally find a way to protect them."
Li Tieniu's eyes were red with tears after hearing these words. Young Master Jiang could treat this place as his home.
That is to treat them as one's own people. These words are spoken from the heart.
Although Lin Dawang and his friends didn't know what happened in Lijia Village, they heard about it later.
The villagers just envied the good luck of the people in Lijia Village. Look, when they encountered bandits, there was an official to help them. The official happened to be in Lijia Village. He killed the bandits and helped the people of Lijia Village defend against the bandits' attacks.
But after hearing this, Lin Dawang felt a little worried.
How could the bandits break into such a solid fortress like Lijia Village?
How could a legal advisor or a yamen runner die?
It's easy to imagine what's fishy going on here, but no matter what it is, it has nothing to do with him.
He has now made up his mind that after this incident, he must hold on to his powerful figure. Young Master Jiang was able to make Lijia Village so powerful.
Naturally, their Linjia Village can do it too.
When he came back this time, he had no selfish motives and sent all the salt to Lijia Village.
Young Master Jiang made arrangements to continue making snowflake salt, and after their able-bodied men recovered, they were all taken to Lijia Village, and the two families started training together in the threshing ground.
For them, these trainings have long become the skills that enable them to make a living.
Jiang Xiaoxiao led a team of 50 people and set off with the snowflake salt.
Lin Dawang and Li Tieniu also set out at the same time as her. These two village chiefs were familiar with the area and had also figured out a way to get a pass for the way out.
Jiang Xiaoxiao has now settled in Lijia Village under the name Jiang Xiaoxiao, but of course the household registration states that he is a male.
Li Tieniu knew that Miss Jiang didn't want anyone to know her identity as a woman.
Along the way, Li Tiehua followed Jiang Xiaoxiao as a maid to prevent any accidents.
This time they transported 4,000 kilograms of snowflake salt to Jiangnan, first by land, then by water, all the way to Jiangnan.
It is said that the land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile and the water is beautiful. It is simply a paradise on earth and is crowded with merchants.
Even the lives of ordinary people are better than those of the people living in the border areas.
They announced to the outside world that they were sending food.
The weight of the food is also heavy, so it is comparable.
However, before they could set off, people from the Wu family had already shown up.
This time, the people sent by the Wu family's carriage included, in addition to their family's biggest steward, the head of the Wu family.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was so depressed. Why was it so difficult to go out?
She originally wanted to see the outside world and, of course, find out some things along the way, but who would have thought that she couldn't get out of this circle at all.
What can Lu Xiaoxiao say?
The head of the Wu family came in person, so how could a kid from a poor village like her be so arrogant as to not meet him?
When the head of the Wu family came in, Jiang Xiaoxiao was shocked to see that the person in front of her was clearly a young woman, certainly older than her, and looked to be only about 28 or 29 years old.
Theoretically, in ancient society, which was a patriarchal society, women rarely went out to do business in public.
Of course, women’s status is not recognized by men either.
For example, in her current situation, if she wasn't dressed as a man, I'm afraid Lin Dawang would be the first one who couldn't control her.
Li Tieniu was naturally conquered by her ability because she saved his life, but the status of women and men in this era is not so different. The Wu family is actually dominated by women.
You can imagine how shocking this thing is.
"Mr. Jiang, I have heard of your great name for a long time, but I never thought I would meet you today. I didn't expect that you are such a handsome young man. You are truly respectable and admirable."
The head of the Wu family’s real name is Wu Xiumin.
To be able to sit on the position of the head of the Wu family, one must have gone through a bloody battle.
Since she was dressed as a young woman, it was naturally because she was the first daughter of the Wu family to marry a son-in-law and stayed in the Wu family. Wu Xiumin was the only bloodline of Wu Jiadi.
There were no male descendants in the Wu family, and she was the only daughter left in her generation.
In order to preserve the bloodline of the Wu family and prevent the side branches of the Wu family from coveting the main branch of the Wu family, Wu Xiumin boldly decided to recruit a son-in-law to stay in the Wu family.
This is how the Wu family came to be in its current state.
Of course, Wu Xiumin is not a good person either. He must have a unique vision to have reached his current position.
As soon as I saw the young man in front of me, I realized that he was probably not a boy, but a girl.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled. Since the other party was a girl, it would be easier for the two of them to talk so they sat down together.
"I feel like I've known Sister Wu for a long time when I met her today. In that case, I wonder what advice Sister Wu has for you?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao could already tell from the other party's meaningful look that they had seen through her identity, but seeing through and exposing her was a consensus that everyone knew.
"Young Master Jiang calls me sister, and I really deserve it. This time I came here because I heard that Young Master Jiang is going to lead a caravan to Jiangnan?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao understood it instantly. She had already started organizing manpower recently. She had selected some smooth, smart and perceptive young men from each village and directly sent them to Yanmen Pass.
Even if you are doing small business or something else, as long as you want to disguise your identity, you just need to stay in the city.
Jiang Xiaoxiao even spent money to buy a few small courtyards to make it convenient for them to settle down in the city.
They even set up two shops to make it easier for them to pass on messages.
The only purpose of staying in the city is to gather information. They are not required to earn much money. Jiang Xiaoxiao even gives them money just to have their own information network.
I have already found out that the head of the Wu family is very powerful.
The Wu family was very prosperous. In Yanmen Pass, the Wu family was considered the largest imperial merchant. The Wu family's business spread all over the country, and its network of relationships was intricately intertwined with officials from various governments in the court.
It is said that the Wu family has a certain minister in the court standing behind them. Just for the sake of this minister's face, no one else dares to make things difficult for the Wu family.
It is also the link that enables the Wu family to expand and strengthen their business.
It is said that the only son of the Wu family is just 13 years old this year and has already become the top scholar in the court.
The purpose of Wu Xiumin coming to see a young man from a small village like her was obviously self-evident: she wanted the snowflake salt in her hand.
