Chapter 934 Accident
"We are all common people. Brother Lin, I didn't want to say this originally. Master Jiang, you taught us these good secrets and methods out of kindness, so that we can make money and live a peaceful life. What is Master Jiang trying to do?
But you, not only did you take the villagers to work alone, but you also didn't care about anything. Even when you were in trouble, Master Jiang was so kind and righteous that he didn't care about the gains and losses at the beginning and came to help you.
We have never even considered what we can get from you. Master Jiang said that we are all poor people, and life is not easy. There is no need to make things difficult for ourselves. We should work together to live a good life. "
Li Tieniu had to say this because he had been holding it in his heart for a long time. Lin Dawang did not listen to Master Jiang and suffered a great loss this time, but they must remember Master Jiang's kindness.
Lin Dawang was so ashamed that he said, "Master Jiang, I was wrong. I, Lin Dawang, swear to heaven today that if I do that again, Master Jiang, I will be so sorry. For what I have done to everyone, I, Lin Dawang, will be struck by lightning, and I will be punished by heaven and earth, and my son will have no butthole."
This is already the most serious oath.
"Mr. Jiang, I hope you can forgive me and allow us to work together with Lijia Village. We will listen to whatever you say in the future. Since our two villages are neighbors, we must help each other. Otherwise, the people of Linjia Village will really have no way out."
Lin Dawang really shed sad tears. He was afraid that Master Jiang would really not want to accept him anymore. They had suffered heavy casualties and were seriously injured. They had no people and no money. Soon, the government would have to collect taxes and levies on them if they continued like this.
They cannot avoid this difficulty this time. If more able-bodied men are taken away from the village, they will really be doomed.
Li Tieniu looked at the elders who were begging earnestly, and he really felt sympathy in his heart. After all, they were his fellow villagers, and none of them were bad people.
Although Lin Dawang had some evil thoughts, he was also forced to do so by the hard times.
"We are going to smuggle salt again this time. If you want to go, just organize some capable people to follow us. We have to get through this hurdle first."
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew from the look on Li Tieniu's face that this guy had become soft-hearted, but she was not a hard-hearted person.
Besides, although Lin Dawang had some ideas, those poor people could not be said to be bad people. They could only be said to have narrow vision, low aspirations, and were illiterate. Naturally, they just wanted to get the immediate benefits as soon as possible.
They suffered a great loss this time and will probably remember the lesson well.
Lin Dawang and his friends were overjoyed and hurried back to the village to make arrangements.
Early the next morning.
Twenty able-bodied men from Linjia Village set off in a horse-drawn carriage.
Lin Dawang was not fully recovered yet, so he sent a brother to take all the able-bodied men to follow the people from Lijia Village on the journey.
And the instructions were very clear: when they arrived, they had to listen to Mr. Jiang's arrangements and do whatever he told them to do.
Don't talk too much nonsense.
So as not to annoy others.
This time the village collected 200 taels of silver, which was all the silver that the village had hidden in its bottom.
And this time they had a carriage, so they were confident they could go and come back quickly.
Seeing more than a dozen new graves in the village, people in their village felt uncomfortable.
Especially this time, Lin Erniu, the younger brother of Lin Dawang who followed the team leader, saw that there were actually 100 able-bodied men going out of Lijia Village.
There is a huge difference between this mighty team and the sparse 20 people in their current team. The once powerful team has now become so powerful that it is not even as powerful as Saturn.
No matter what, they now have to look at the faces of Li Tieniu and Mr. Jiang.
Fortunately, Li Tieniu and Jiang Gongzi were not narrow-minded people. Instead, they took good care of them along the way. Since they were few in number, they put them in the middle of the team, which meant that the people of Lijia Village were protecting them.
Lin Erniu and the others felt really bitter. They did such a shameful thing, but in the end they were treated so kindly by others.
What is this called? This is called winning people over with virtue. This kind of virtue makes them admire you so much that they bow down to you.
This kind of person is fit to be a leader.
They went straight to the salt field and took the private salt they needed. Anyway, both families paid a lot of money. In addition, Lijia Village was generous this time, so they directly took 2,000 taels of silver worth of private salt.
Ten horse-drawn carts were carrying so much salt, and the rest were all men pushing tricycles. These people were not afraid of hard work, and now that their lives were getting more and more promising, of course they were willing to work for the village.
Especially since they heard that there was a capable person in the village, Young Master Jiang, and the village chief learned how to make snowflake salt from Young Master Jiang. After they settled down in the village, they naturally became people of Lijia Village.
If you contribute more to the village, you will naturally benefit more in the future.
They have traveled thousands of miles with their children. Those who can escape here as a family are naturally people who are not afraid of hardship.
The village allowed them to come out with the able-bodied men in the village to do such an important job this time because they valued them. Although everyone knew that smuggling salt would result in death, they were not afraid.
Now, being beheaded means death, and having no food to eat means starvation as well. Being able to eat and drink enough is worth dying for.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Li Tieniu sat in the front carriage. The journey was smooth and they didn't see any bandits coming out.
Of course, it was also because there were so many of them and they were so powerful. How could the bandits dare to show up easily? There were more than a hundred of them.
Seeing that they were only two miles away from the village, everyone felt relieved and began to chat and laugh with each other while sitting in the car or walking on the road.
After all, nothing happened in the village. As long as they didn't encounter bandits, they were familiar with the route and returned home without any damage.
Naturally, everyone is happy.
Even the newbies were a little scared when they followed Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others out. They felt that smuggling salt was a capital offense. What would they do if they really ran into government soldiers?
Unexpectedly, we returned to the village smoothly, so everyone was in a good mood.
Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped the carriage. Li Tieniu, who was far away, had already seen smoke coming out from the other side of the village. This was not right. It looked like a house was on fire.
Everyone was nervous. Jiang Xiaoxiao and Li Tieniu asked all the villagers to drive the carriages to Linjia Village first.
When I passed by Linjia Village just now, it seemed calm and there was no problem.
The people from Linjia Village have already gone back.
Their biggest worry is that the bandits are now heading towards Lijia Village.
