Chapter 413 Solution

I help you cook and wash clothes every day, but you are getting engaged and separated from me. You have no conscience!

Zhou Ronger sat in front of the stove in a daze. Unknowingly, two tears fell from her eyes.

In the reflection of the stove fire, Zhou Ronger, who was as beautiful as jade, was sitting. Zhou Xing was already crazy when he saw it. When he saw a teardrop rolling out of the corner of his eye, Zhou Xing felt in his heart Feeling the pain, she said softly: "Sister Ronger, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Ronger was startled, Zeng stood up, wiped her face quickly, then turned around and said angrily: " You're so scary. You don't even say hello when you come in?"

Zhou Xing saw Zhou Ronger was slightly annoyed and said quickly: "Sister Ronger, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

p>

Zhou Ronger rolled her eyes at Zhou Xing and said, "I'm not that timid, don't be sorry. The food is ready, let's eat quickly."

Zhou Xing hummed and washed his hands. After washing her face, Zhou Ronger quickly brought the food bowl to Zhou Xing and placed it in the room. Zhou Xing sat at the table, smelling the aroma of the food floating up, and his stomach couldn't help but growl. Zhou Xing felt very embarrassed and said with a smile: " It smells so good. I'm really hungry."

Zhou Ronger sat aside, looked at Zhou Xing, and said quietly: "Brother Zhou, will the food cooked by the new sister-in-law be more delicious?"< /p>

Zhou Xing chuckled and said: "New sister-in-law? The new sister-in-law?"

Zhou Ronger whispered: "New sister-in-law, naturally you just got engaged, mine New sister-in-law?"

Zhou Xing was surprised: "Who is engaged? When did I get engaged?"

Zhou Ronger said hurriedly: "Aren't you engaged?"

Zhou Xing was also anxious, pointing to the sky and the earth, and said: "Sister Ronger, don't you dare to talk nonsense, our villa is so big, nothing can be hidden Come on, I’m either teaching or practicing every day. Who said I was engaged? Sister Ronger, tell me, I’ll ask her about this!”

Zhou Ronger! I heard it clearly for the first time, and I was very happy. All the worries I had just left had already been thrown to the Java side. I lowered my head and murmured to myself: "Sister Ronger, sister Ronger! I'm not engaged yet"

Zhou Xing saw Zhou Ronger whispering to herself, but could not hear clearly what she said, so he asked: "Sister Ronger, what did you say? Who said I was engaged?"

Zhou Ronger's face Yihong whispered: "No one said, you can eat, I'm leaving, Brother Zhou." After saying that, he turned around and ran out briskly without looking back.

Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Ronger's jumping back and was very confused. He shook his head and said, "What kind of tricks is this girl doing? Who said I was engaged?"

When Zhou Ronger returned home, it was completely dark. Uncle Zhou had already finished his meal and went to find Uncle Zhou. Seeing Mrs. Cui sitting at the table and the neatly white food on the table, Zhou Ronger felt very embarrassed and said: " Mom, you haven’t eaten yet.”

Ms. Cui looked at her excited daughter and said angrily, “You’re so old, why don’t you run away.Coming and running. If you don't come back, my mother will just wait for you. ”

Zhou Ronger stuck out her tongue, made a face for Mrs. Cui, sat at the table, and started eating. Maybe she was hungry, maybe she was happy, it was still the same meal, but Zhou Ronger felt that her mother had cooked it today. The rice is really delicious.

Mrs. Cui felt relieved when she looked at her happy daughter. She married into the Zhou family and gave birth to such a girl. , both myself and the child's father love her very much. Although the villa is remote, the couple's care makes the child never suffer any injustice. Seeing her daughter getting older day by day, she feels more and more young. Mrs. Cui is very proud of herself. Regardless of appearance or demeanor, including all the girls in the villa, who can be half as good as Rong'er?

Rong'er is about to be ten. Seven, it's time to talk about marriage.

In the past two years, whether it is the Zhou family, the Wang family, or the Chen family, they have secretly revealed their intention to get married, and it's okay to say it to others. , that Wang Tong, not to mention his character and appearance, he is also a good boy who can count, so Uncle Zhou likes him very much. But Mrs. Cui has always been hesitant. For some reason, she always feels that. , My Rong'er is not the life of a village woman digging in the dirt. My Rong'er should not have to live in this remote valley and die in obscurity. It is this hesitation that makes Uncle Zhou and his wife treat no one. All the marriage proposals, whether explicit or implicit, were declined.

This week in the villa, it would have been impossible to have such a prosperous life without the help and support of the Zhou family. From a desperate and fleeing prince, Zhou Xing gathered the villa around him step by step and became the wife and the biggest person in charge of everyone in the villa. Ms. Cui got one surprise after another. She had already concluded that Zhou Xing The future of the villa will definitely not be limited to this remote valley, and the future of the villa will also be closely linked to Zhou Xing's future.

As a person who has experienced this, Ms. Cui has seen her daughter's emotions and changes these days. , seeing her daughter's concern for Zhou Xing, her care and consideration for Zhou Xing, Ms. Cui understood her daughter's vague little thoughts better than her daughter herself. To promote or kill the weak love, it's just because Ms. Cui can't decide whether it will be a disaster or a blessing for her daughter if she really promises her daughter to Zhou Xing.

Watch. Regarding her daughter's happiness today, Ms. Cui thought to herself: "Perhaps it's time to make a decision. ”

In the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties period, when productivity was relatively low, a self-contained small environment like the villa could basically be self-sufficient in other aspects, such as food, planting, and hunting. Clothing, etc. You can grow hemp, weave cloth, and collect medicine from the mountains, but there is only one thing you need to buy from outside, and that is salt. In addition to seasoning, the most important thing is to live without salt for a long time. , will make people weak and sick. This is mainly because the sodium ions in salt are necessary for the body's electrolyte balance.Quality, without the intake of sodium ions, will cause human agency disorders.

Although this villa was closed in the past, it was not completely isolated after all. People from the villa would occasionally go out of the mountain to the county towns and cities to sell their own leather goods and buy some salt and other items back.

Since the last time many mountain people came to the villa, everyone knew that the nearby area had become a battlefield. When Zhou Bao went to buy paper and ink, he was almost captured by the officers and soldiers. Everyone knows that it is impossible to go outside. Moreover, it is also a matter of settling in new people and practicing team spirit. Even if occasionally that family runs out of salt, firstly, they don’t have time to go out, and secondly, they are not willing to take risks. They were all borrowed from neighbors here and there. After this back and forth, many households soon had the problem of running out of salt.

Now this villa, especially the new mountain residents, have regarded the villa as a backer. The villa is not only a place where they live, but also their organization and support, and the backbone of their family. If you have a problem, who should you contact if you don’t go to the organization? So this matter naturally began to be reported to Uncle Zhou and Uncle Wang.

When Zhou Xing heard about this, he was scratching his head. He never thought that the salt would be a big problem. It's no wonder that in later generations, this salt is very worthless. Although he has never cooked in later generations, he also knows that whether he goes to a supermarket or a small store, he can just buy a few bags for use. When I came to this villa, I was living in the host family and eating in the west family. How could I remember that this person wanted to eat salt?

Now that I mention this, Zhou Xing also vaguely remembers that there seem to be several types of salt. One is sea salt, which is boiled with seawater. The specific method of making it is not clear. The other is pool salt. The salt pool in Yuncheng, Shanxi is the most famous place for pool salt. Of course, I also remember that there is a salt lake in Qinghai, which is said to be used to build roads. It later became a very important chemical industry base. There is also a kind of well salt in Sichuan, which is boiled with brine from the well. This place in Hanzhong is surrounded by dangerous places and far away from the sea. The salt is probably either well salt or pond salt.

Everyone gathered in Zhou Xing’s room and formed a circle. The commanders all had grim faces. Everyone discussed it for a long time, but there was no definite idea. The key is that the situation outside is unknown, and we don’t know what the army is fighting outside. If one side wins, no matter which side it is, as long as the battle line is not in this area, then the county here will be opened, and the road will not be so dangerous. You can still do it if you try to buy some or go shopping and exchange for some salt. I'm afraid it's still the same as before, there's chaos here, and if you go out, the better ones will be captured and used as cannon fodder in the war. If you're unlucky, you might be treated as the opponent's spies and have your head cut off.

This Zhou Xing vaguely remembers that in the original history, this battle belonged to Wang Jian, the former Shu lord of Sichuan, who sent several of his godsons, headed by Dongchuan Jiedushi Wang Zongbi, to welcome him. The emperor came to seize the territory of Qi Wang Zhou Maozhen in the name of road. At the end of the battle, Wang Zongbi was known to be calm and wise. The Shannan West Road Jiedushi here seemed to have won a few times at first, but in the end he was really no match for him. He was defeated like a mountain and his territory was taken away by Wang Jian. This battle seems to have been fought for a long time.years.

Everyone talked about it, but there was no definite idea. Uncle Zhou said: "No matter what, we have to find a way to get salt. This salt is not something that every household can have." , we can only go to the county town or big town to buy it. Tomorrow, we will send two smart people to the outside of the mountain to find out the news. As long as we can get through to the county town, it will be easier to arrange for people to buy salt and transport it."

After hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded, and couldn't help but said to himself: "If there is a private salt shop somewhere, it would be great if we could get some to sell it."

After hearing this, everyone was stunned. In silence, Huang Hai opened his mouth and was hesitating. Before he could speak, Uncle Zhou said softly: "Master, I dare not say this. How can I sell this private salt? This is a crime of beheading."

Uncle Wang said: “That’s true, but apart from knowing that there must be salt in the big cities in the county and state capitals, I don’t know where the salt is from other places, so it’s not just empty talk.”

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and they didn’t know where to buy salt. Isn’t it in vain?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Huang Hai hesitated for a long time and then said softly: "I know someone who has done some secret work."

Zhou Can jumped immediately He got up and shouted: "You still have this way, tell me quickly, let's go find him!"

"Yes, yes, there is this way, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Everyone in the room said , when Huang Hai said this, he immediately felt that there was hope. Everyone looked at Huang Hai eagerly. Only Uncle Zhou sighed softly, lowered his head and remained speechless.

It turns out that there is a clan brother from far away in the Yellow Sea. He likes to dance with swords and guns since he was a child. He is very aggressive and fights hard. He does not do his job properly. However, he has made a few friends. When he was eighteen years old, after his parents died, he even He was impatient to live in the village, so he left his family's fields to Huang Hai and the others to take care of, and went out to make a living on his own. Within two years, he had become known as "Man Shan Fei" in the Sanquan area. He once worked with Huang Hai I have said that I and a group of brothers established a small business by selling private salt.

Huang Hai and others have been honest farmers for generations. The appearance of such a person is considered a great shame and humiliation in the family, and they never mention it to outsiders, even though they know this person. to take rootHowever, no one would rather go to other places to escape disasters than seek refuge with their brothers in the clan to find a living.

Only today, I saw the villa worrying about salt. The villa is as kind as a mountain to people like me, and I can't just ignore it. Besides, I will soon run out of salt. He didn't care about his face and told the matter.

Zhou Xing came from a later generation, so naturally he would not think that selling smuggled salt was a big deal. From a historical point of view, the salt and iron monopoly has been the supreme method for the government and the court to amass money since the Han Dynasty. To put it bluntly, the government only wants to earn this monopoly profit. Selling and buying private salt is going to the state. Those who poke holes in their finances will naturally be attacked and suppressed by the government. But in essence, compared with killing people, setting fires, and robbing people, what kind of crime is that?

Seeing that everyone except Uncle Zhou was in favor, Zhou Xing immediately decided to let Huang Hai take a few people and go out of the mountain tomorrow to try every means, one was to inquire about outside news, and the other was to find a way out, and his ideas were consistent with his clan's. I contacted my brother to see if we could solve the problem of salt in the villa.

Seeing that there seemed to be hope of resolving the matter, several young people were very enthusiastic and wanted to go with Huang Hai. Zhou Xing immediately appointed four people, Huang Hai, Zhou Bao, Zhou Can and Wang Tong, to go forward. Go, others stay in the villa, where they should train and work. Zhou Dahu and Zhou Zhouhu were very unhappy when they saw that they were not allowed to go. They shouted together, but they were scolded by Uncle Zhou and remained silent.

Zhou Xing and Uncle Zhou gave detailed instructions, and the five of them agreed and dispersed to prepare.

When Uncle Zhou returned home, Mrs. Cui was lighting up the pineapples and making some female celebrities under the bright lights.
