The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

At the table of the Eight Immortals, only Jiang Zhen was feasting.

Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui were already in a daze. They looked outside from time to time. They were disturbed by the number of 10 taels, so how could they even think about eating?

As for Brother Zhao Jin...

Zhao Mingzhu is about to be one year old, and he has started to eat something, and he is feeding Zhao Mingzhu.

And...he was scared too.

Jiang Zhen had told him before that he got a lot of money, but he really didn't expect that there was so much money.

Brother Zhao Jin felt unreal, he caught a piece of meat from the belly of the fish, but he didn't feed it into Zhao Mingzhu's mouth.

Zhao Mingzhu opened her mouth wide and wanted to grab the piece of meat not far in front of her, but because her body was held by Brother Zhao Jin and her neck was too short, she couldn't grab it, so she felt aggrieved: "Wow!"

The sound of Zhao Mingzhu woke up Zhao Jinge and Zhao Liu's couple. Zhao Jinge quickly fed her the fish, and then found that half of the braised pork and chicken on the table had been killed by Jiang Zhen.

"Don't eat too much, what if you have diarrhea?" Zhao Jinge said worriedly.

"Even if I have diarrhea, I'm willing." Jiang Zhen smiled, but he didn't eat meat anymore.

In ancient times, there was no medicine for the three highs. In terms of food, he should pay attention to it.

After Jiang Zhen finished eating, Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui, who hadn't eaten much, put down their chopsticks.

They almost couldn't wait to come outside, and then saw Jiang Zhen's subordinates eating boxes one by one as a table, and the tops of many boxes were greasy from vegetable soup.

This... it's filled with silver!This is not good, is it? !

Zhao Liushi and Zhao Fugui rubbed their hands uneasily, always feeling that something was wrong.

Jiang Zhen ate very fast, and his subordinates ate even faster.

The food Jiang Zhen asked the restaurant to deliver was enough for a hundred people, but in the end it was eaten by fifty people.

There are many boxes piled up in the Zhao family's garden, and the cups and plates on the boxes are messy, and many people sit directly on the boxes while touching their round bellies.

When the people from the Hu family ticket office came over, they saw such a messy scene.

"Which one is Mr. Jiang? Where is the silver?" The shopkeeper of the Hu family bank asked loudly.

His boss asked him to bring dozens of people here to move money... In this small house, is it really necessary for him to come in person and bring so many people to move money?

"Close the door." Jiang Zhen said. After his men closed the door, he pointed to the box in the yard and said, "The silver is in it. Let's weigh it together." As for the banks of later generations, of course, the business of bank notes is far less than that of banks, and it is still local in nature, and the bank notes given can only be circulated within a certain range.

Jiang Zhen himself didn't know exactly how much money he got back this time. After all, he didn't even have a scale for weighing at the Hongjiang Salt Field.

It was precisely because of this that he didn't directly carry the money to the bank - he always had to know how much money he had, right?

Jiang Ming and He Xiasheng quickly cleared away the bowls and chopsticks on a box, then opened the box, and said to the shopkeeper of the Hu family bank: "Come, let's weigh together!"

After the box was opened, neatly stacked silver bricks were revealed. These silver bricks were of good color and shone brightly in the sunlight.

The shopkeeper looked at the pile of plates next to him, and then at the box, feeling like he didn't know what to say.

Wait... The shopkeeper suddenly discovered that there are many, many boxes in this yard.

Could it be that the contents of these boxes are all silver?

The shopkeeper suddenly became a little dizzy.

He should bring more people!

In Daqi, the value of silver depends not only on its weight, but also on its fineness.

The better the quality of the silver, the higher the value, and the lower the value of the bad-quality silver, and even some merchants do not accept the bad-quality silver.

The shopkeeper's first thing to look at is the fineness. After seeing it, he couldn't help sighing: "The fineness of these silvers is very good."

"Yeah." Jiang Zhen nodded. After the Hongjiang Salt Works got the silver, it must have been calcined again, and the quality would certainly not be bad.

Jiang Zhen was very, very calm. The shopkeeper took a look at Jiang Zhen and felt that this person was not simple.

Of course, the first thing he has to do now is to weigh the silver.

Jiang Zhen asked his subordinates to weigh the silver and write down the weight, and then asked the person brought by the shopkeeper to weigh it. After confirming that it was correct, he recorded it in the account book.

Their hands and feet are quite fast, but there is too much money, so it takes more work... Jiang Zhen looked at it for a while, then stopped staring, and went to accompany Zhao Mingzhu instead.

Seeing this, Zhao Liushi patted his chest, which was beating very fast, and stopped staring.

She was afraid that if she was too excited, she would not be able to bear it...

The yard was full of silver, she took a deep breath, and felt that she could not stay here any longer, so she opened the corner door of the yard and walked out, to the outside.

As soon as Zhao Liushi went out, he was surrounded by many people.

"Zhao Liushi, is it your son-in-law who came back earlier?"

"Your son-in-law is really a big businessman?"

"I didn't expect what you said was the truth..."

……

Zhao Liu's headache was caused by everyone talking to each other.

She was still thinking about the money at home, and she was impatient to deal with these people: "That's my son-in-law, he is amazing, he made a lot of money this trip."

After she finished speaking, she saw that everyone wanted to ask again, so she immediately said: "There is no lie in what I said before, and you didn't believe it yourself. Now, stop chattering and disturbing me."

Zhao Liushi directly reprimanded people, but none of these people were dissatisfied, and instead smiled apologetically at Zhao Liushi.

They have been holding Zhao Liushi together and saying a lot of good things, but it made Zhao Liushi temporarily forget about the few 10 taels of silver, and he was willing to talk to them: "My Jiang Zhen is very powerful. Made a lot of money."

"In this world, there are really few people who are as promising as him."

"The main reason is that he is kind to Brother Jin, and to our old couple..."

Zhao Liushi raised her head and said proudly, while those people in front of her nodded in agreement.

As Zhao Liushi was talking, she suddenly calmed down.

So what if Jiang Zhen made a few 10 taels?Isn't it still Jiang Zhen?They lived their days as usual.

After calming down, Zhao Liushi didn't bother to talk to these people anymore, so she went home.

There were a lot of people in the yard, so Zhao Liushi simply went back to the house, and as soon as she entered, she saw Zhao Fugui sitting there.

There are a lot of things that you can’t say to outsiders, but Zhao Fugui is different... As soon as he saw Zhao Fugui, Zhao Liu said: "My son, father, why do you think Jiang Zhen went out and brought back so many things?" silver?"

In the past, when Jiang Zhen came back from the capital, he brought back a lot of money, but at that time neither the Zhao Liu family nor Zhao Fugui knew the exact amount.

This time it was different. They saw the white money with their own eyes, and the shock they received was even greater.

"I don't know." Zhao Fugui said.

Zhao Liushi poked Zhao Fugui with his finger, and asked again: "You said, he wouldn't do anything bad, would he?"

"I don't know."

Zhao Liushi poked again: "With so much money, will others be jealous?"

"should be."

……

"Jiang Zhen, is it all right for you to get back so much money?" Mrs. Zhao and Liu were not the only ones who were worried about this. Brother Zhao Jin was equally uneasy.

"It's okay, don't look at the money I got back, it's just a small amount." Jiang Zhen said.

The interest group formed by the Hongjiang Saltworks is very large, including many people, but the Hongjiang Saltworks itself is only a place for salt production.

Although people here can earn a lot of money by selling salt, they are definitely not as much as those big salt merchants who took salt from Hongjiang Saltworks and sold it elsewhere.

After that Yang Qin envoy took control of the military power, he confiscated many salt merchants' homes, and some of the salt merchants' homes confiscated millions of taels of silver!

Compared with these, the few 10 taels he got was nothing. The imperial envoy would definitely not be jealous. As for the court and the queen mother...they would never know about it.

It took two days to weigh all the silver in Jiang Zhen's yard.

This time, the ticket number for the Zhao family to get the silver was Zheng Yi's wife's natal family, and the Hu family opened it, and there was a member of the Zheng family in it. Jiang Zhen was very relieved of them, and finally exchanged all the silver for silver notes. , a total of 45 taels.

I became rich overnight...

After Jiang Zhen took the money, he immediately contacted Zheng Yi, and then bought a big house in Fucheng. As for the house bought by Brother Zhao Jin, he planned to use it as the dormitory for the bodyguards of Jin Zhen Bodyguard Agency.

However, although Jiang Zhen bought a house, he was not in a hurry to move, because he had to go to sea to deliver things to Zhu Erlin and others.

The island lacked a lot of things, but the main ones were all kinds of food and medicinal materials. When Jiang Zhen went to visit them this time, he hired a sea boat, and then filled the boat half with grain and half with livestock.

On this day, on the wharf of Fucheng, many people stood beside a sea ship, and then watched the sea ship whispering, and in their encirclement, the sound of pigs could be heard from time to time.

Someone was curious about the movement here, squeezed over, and then saw some strong men moving live pigs with their feet tied up to a boat.

"What's going on here?" Although those big ships that were going to sea would load grain and some live animals on board before going to sea, and they would kill and eat them after raising them, but carrying so many pigs on board, they would eat them all. ?

"We are also wondering... no one is going to sell the pig to a far away place, right? Could it be that this pig can be sold for a lot of money?"

"Pigs can be raised anywhere, even if they can be sold at a higher price in other places, they won't be much more expensive, right? I don't know what this person thinks."

"Maybe they plan to kill pigs and eat them every day at sea."

Everyone was talking about it, which was very strange.

However, they were surprised for a while, and they didn't care about this matter, but chatted about other things: "The price of salt has finally come down."

"That's right, a catty of salt cost a hundred Wen... It's really too expensive!"

"My natal family didn't save any salt before, and I haven't eaten salt for half a month!"

"I heard that the price of salt will be so high this time because those salt merchants joined forces to not sell salt. What a bunch of bastards!"

"Fortunately, Envoy Yang Qin has arrested all those salt merchants!"

……

Ordinary people in Hexing Mansion didn't know anything about the Hongjiang Salt Fields and the changes in salt prices, and they thought it was the work of some businessmen.

No one will explain the reason to them, and the court is unwilling to explain the reason to them. At this moment, where the former Hongjiang Saltworks is located, a new saltworks is already in preparation.

The salt field was named Changhe Salt Field, and it will be managed by Yang Qin in the future.

The Changhe Salt Farm could not be built for a while, but fortunately, Yang Qin got a lot of salt when he was sent to copy the salt merchant's house, and finally suppressed the salt price.

Jiang Zhen knew all of this, but he couldn't intervene, and he didn't bother to intervene.

He was going to sea again to deliver food to Zhu Erlin and others.

It took them a long time to get all the living things on board, and at last they set off in the evening.

Jiang Zhen is not a sailor, so he doesn't need to do anything on board, so he can sleep at night, but the crowing of pigs and chickens and ducks in the cabin is too loud, Jiang Zhen can't fall asleep no matter what.

So Zhao Mingzhu didn't care at all.No matter how noisy the environment is, she can fall asleep quickly when she is tired, and she can sleep well, even sometimes, she does not wake up when she wets the bed.

Seeing that Zhao Mingzhu was asleep, Jiang Zhen touched Brother Zhao Jin without hesitation: "Brother Jin, come and sit on me!"

Brother Zhao Jin glared at Jiang Zhen, and then obediently "sit" on it.

Jiang Zhen had nighttime entertainment, so he could completely ignore the constant calls of livestock, but it was different for others.

Not long after returning from the capital, Dr. Hu, who was lent to Jiang Zhen by Zheng Yi, was lying on the boat, extremely depressed.

Every time he finally gets a little sleepy, the pig in the cabin will suddenly let out a cry... This is clearly not letting him sleep!

Can't Jiang Zhen kill the pig and make it into bacon?

The big ship sailed slowly into the sea.

Zheng Yi built some houses in advance on that island to accommodate Zhu Erlin and others, but those houses were not enough to live in.

Zhu Erlin arranged for the old and the weak to live in houses, but he himself took the young and strong, and built some houses and dug a few caves in the past few days.

After a few days, they finally each had shelter from the wind and rain.

Early in the morning, they got busy and started cooking.

Zheng Yi left a lot of food, so Zhu Erlin asked someone to cook dry rice to eat. As for the food to eat, it was naturally salted fish.

Salted fish is very popular in places like Hecheng County. Everyone likes it, but none of Zhu Erlin and others likes to eat salted fish.

The big guys were carrying the rice or devouring it or tasting it slowly, but no one picked up the salted fish with their chopsticks.

The rice is so fragrant and delicious, it's better not to cover up its good taste with fish!

After eating, Zhu Erlin took people around the place where they lived.

Many of the people they brought were sick, and some of them seemed to be not well anymore. Besides, the original residents of the island were obviously full of hostility towards them.

"This island is a bit small. In the future, we have to go to other places to find a way to survive." Zhu Erlin said to the people around him, his face was full of worry.

"Yes." The man nodded, and said again: "Didn't Jiang Zhen say that we can join the Jin Zhen Escort? We will join in the future."

Also... Zhu Erlin thought for a while, and suddenly realized that his worries were unnecessary.

They will definitely not live on this island in the future.

That is... When will Jiang Zhen come to pick them up?Also, when will the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep promised to them be delivered?He really craves pork!

Zhu Erlin looked towards the sea expectantly, and then saw a ship slowly approaching from a distance.

He is quite familiar with that boat, after all, he has been on it before, this is... Jiang Zhen's boat is here!

Has his pig come too? !
