Chapter 118 This task seems a little easy
Seeing the two lose consciousness, Wei Yi smiled and said,
“My son Xie, in accordance with the covenant between us, you must provide artisans for our lord.”
“You are already a powerful person here, this matter is up to you.”
Hearing this, Zhao Xie’s face changed slightly, and she looked away from Princess Yu Shu’s face.
Wei Yi asked,
“What else does the son ask for? But it doesn’t matter.”
Zhao Xie forced a smile and said,
“No, it’s just that I have already sent nearly a hundred craftsmen to me? Why do the masters still want craftsmen?”
“The son doesn’t know anything about it.”
Wei Yi said suddenly,
“In the land of Goguryeo, the natives are stupid and difficult to educate, and it is extremely difficult to train local craftsmen.”
“Although Tyrant Qin hasn’t moved lately, you and I know that with the tyrant’s character, how could you let me wait?”
“Therefore, the lord has been using to reinforce the city defense, and to build the defense, a lot of craftsmen are needed.”
Zhao Xie nodded in sympathy.
“The tyrant is insatiable, and the land of Baiyue is still unwilling to let go, so how can Goguryeo depend on it?”
“I am afraid that after Zhao Tuo calms down Baiyue, they will attack Goguryeo.”
Wei Yi said,
“exactly.”
“Moreover, the craftsmen who moved here can also slow the construction of the Great Wall by the Qin Dynasty. With the Huns on the side, the Qin Dynasty did not dare to force me to wait too much.”
Although Zhao Xie was a little surprised that Wei Yi had such an opinion, he nodded.
“In this way, I will step up to gather the artisans here, and then give it to the lord of the country.”
Wei Yi was overjoyed at once,
“Great good!”
Several people talked and laughed, and when the banquet was over, Wei Yi took Princess Yushu and left.
Zhao Xie glanced at Zhao Jie next to him, and said coldly,
“The man has gone.”
Zhao Jie came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Xie and said,
“Dage, give me this princess Yushu!”
A chill flashed in Zhao Xie’s eyes and said,
“This is the marriage of Zhao and Yan, do you think it is a trifling matter!”
“If you don’t know the severity this time, it’s as bad as last time! I’ll ask for family law!”
Mentioned the last time, Zhao Jie’s face flushed, and he said,
“Dage, don’t you already know it? I was drugged last time!”
Zhao Xie said coldly,
“If I didn’t know that you were drugged, would I still let you here?”
“From now on, if you look at your sister-in-law in this way, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Zhao Jie returned with a look of dissatisfaction,
“I see.”
Zhao Xie frowned and said,
“The two brothers of Scar were killed, and all the slaves were rescued by female snitches. What shall we explain to each other?”
“Did you find out who it was?”
Zhao Jie curled his lips and said,
“I have been with you, how would I know.”
Zhao Xie frowned and said,
“Did you offend someone again?”
Zhao Jie lowered his head and said nothing, but his face showed a bit of cruelty.
Zhao Xie also wanted to reprimand the other person, at this time a guard walked in and reported,
“The son rests. Yesterday, his subordinates have looked for other teams who arrested slaves yesterday and asked them clearly.”
“Say it!”
“The man called himself Zhao Lang, Xianyang.”
“Xianyang Zhao Lang?”
Zhao Xie was stunned.
He certainly remembered Zhao Lang, the owner of the wealthy farm, who was also accepted as a beginner disciple by the first Confucianist.
But how could he appear here?”Have you found the identity and location of the other party? What about the female snitch?”
Zhao Xie frowned and said,
“Zhao Lang’s information was not found. After the other party finished killing, he left very simply.”
The guard returned,
“The news of the female snitch has already gotten some eyebrows. It should be a farmer. Recently, among the farmers, there is a lot of news about the White Lotus Flower Holy Maiden.”
“farmhouse?”
Zhao Xie was taken aback for a moment.
Zhao Jie on the side gritted his teeth and said,
“Don’t you just take their ten thousand taels of gold? Sooner or later I will kill that stinky lady!”
“To shut up!”
Zhao Xie shouted directly,
“Do you want to make death feuds with the farmer? Get out of here!”
Zhao Jie left angrily, Zhao Xie covered his forehead with anger, and then said to the guard,
“Let’s find other slave traders to cooperate. We will find a few more this time. We need to catch more craftsmen.”
“I also went to find a way to communicate with the female snitch, and said that I wanted to talk with the other party face to face, and everything was easy to talk about.”
The guard immediately took the order
When everyone was gone, Zhao Xie sighed tiredly.
The entire Zhao family is almost supported by him now, which is really too difficult.
“Zhao Yan’s marriage can’t make mistakes, and the transaction with Hu Ren can’t stop. I don’t know what happened in the salt field.”
At this moment, a servant came to report,
“My son, the officials from the salt field beg to see you.”
Zhao Xie was shocked and said,
“please come in!”
Soon, the little official who handed over with Zhao Lang during the day appeared in front of Zhao Xie.
“My son, a young merchant has been sent over. I have already told him.”
“If you can’t hand over a thousand catties of coarse salt this month, this salt farm will be handed over to others.”
The little official said with a smile.
“Thank you very much, after the matter is done, I will certainly not treat you badly.”
Zhao Xie laughed, one thousand catties of coarse salt is not much, but he naturally will not let the other party produce it.
“Uncle Shou, take the officer to rest.”
Hearing this name, the little official nodded in satisfaction, handed a document to Zhao Xie, and said,
“This is the merchant’s paper, take a look, and return it to me tomorrow.”
Then he followed the Shou Uncle outside the door and left.
Watching the little official leave, Zhao Xie’s eyes flashed cold. These corrupt officials who cooperated with him must be dealt with in the end.
Opening the document and looking at the name on it, Zhao Xie was stunned.
“Zhao Lang?”
Today is the second time I have heard this name.
Zhao Xie narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Whether you are him or not, there is only one dead end in front of me!”
In fact, deep down in his heart, he even hoped that the other party was Zhao Lang.
“If you die, that old stubborn person, I might have another chance.”
Having made up his mind, Zhao Xie shouted,
“Come on!”
A guard appeared at the door.
“Early tomorrow morning, I will be anxious to tell the people at the beach that if the salt farm starts to make salt, let them do it!”
The guard left.
Early the next morning.
In the saltworks, there are busy figures of slaves, who are clearing the ground and preparing to start work.
Zhao Lang watched from a high ground. He had already decided to wait for the site to be cleared, and then start salt production by means of division of labor and assembly lines.
This is efficient without revealing the own salt-making method.
The task of a thousand catties of coarse salt will soon be completed.
Once this is done, he can go back to Zhuangzi, bury his head in planting potatoes, assemble the manpower, and accumulate strength for the rest of the matter!
“This task seems a little easy.”
Zhao Lang thought silently.
He didn’t notice that the two stewards of the salt farm had silently hid in the dilapidated house.
The slaves on the construction site kept looking towards the seaside, as if someone would appear there at any time.
