Mr. Wang came in to report: "After counting the loss of several books, ordinary people are basically fine, but a few shops on the street were robbed, and the young and strong who followed the battle died 11 people and injured more than 50 people. Our own guards suffered more than 300 casualties people.” Mainly, the escort team at the beginning suffered heavy casualties, but those who arrived later were better.The training during this period has achieved initial results. Zhu Rui broke up more than 300 people who passed the first training and organized them into small teams to focus on training. Combat played a major role in this urban battle.Well, when Liu Changlu and the others come back victorious, write a note and hand it over. If the Han army can fight like this, it will be the luck of the Han Dynasty.

Sighing, Zhu Rui said: "The casualties will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver for each casualty according to the previous practice, doubly comforting the family members, and posting a list to commend those who desperately protect their homes. As for those merchants, full compensation is impossible, and each family has their own discretion." Let's do it." He didn't have much rice, so he had to see the bottom of it now, these damn robbers were all caught and beheaded.

Master Wang said again: "The confession of those captured robbers is that Yanshan County has taken too much action recently. Everyone knows that Yanshan County is now very rich and greedy, so they can't care about anything. Quan Cao Sent out to attack Yanshan County." I thought Yanshan County was unprepared and left after grabbing a ticket, but who knew that they met Zhu Rui, a tough guy, and the whole army was wiped out.

With a hum, Zhu Rui said: "Is the Yanshan County under my jurisdiction like a piece of fat? It's really unreasonable." Master Wang smiled bitterly: "I almost got pecked by geese all day long. Who would want to live in a small valley?" A bandit hiding thousands of holes?"

On the third day, Liu Changlu came back with someone.Unexpectedly, in addition to the more than 300 prisoners captured, dozens of large boxes were also brought back.

Looking at the dozens of large boxes that filled the living room, everyone was dumbfounded.Antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, and boxes of gold and silver dazzled everyone's eyes.Zhu Rui pointed at things: "Is this all copied from that robber's den?" No wonder Zhu Rui was surprised, although he always advocated fighting to support war, and only copied the robber's den.But those places are very rich. In this poor place, it is so strange that a huge amount of property is copied out of nowhere.

Liu Changlu said: "My lord doesn't know, this group of people is extremely cunning. Although they occupy a barren hill, they never rob nearby. Every time they go out for hundreds or thousands of miles, they leave immediately after robbing. They never procrastinate. Therefore, no one found out They." He said with a grin: "Who knew that this time, the properties of Yanshan County, which were coveted, met us, and they were completely ruined." Pointing to these properties: "My subordinates registered it, and there are about 10,000+ taels of silver. These robbers deserve to be unlucky, with this money, the big guys divide it up, what's wrong with doing it? They still have to continue to rob houses."

Lin Zimo played with a box of Da Nanzhu in his hand, and said calmly: "The robbers have become a habit of robbing, and it is difficult for ordinary people to live." If they can rein in the precipice, there will be no original sin of greed.

Zhu Rui opened a small box, took out a jade bowl and looked at it: "Yes, I will give you a big credit this time. I will tell you that the pension for the casualties will be doubled, and all the soldiers who participated in the battle will be rewarded." Putting down the jade bowl , patted Liu Changlu on the shoulder: "Your bounty is the highest, so let's give it 500 taels." You can't let the horse run without feeding the horse. The rewards and punishments are clearly defined. When there is a war, the soldiers have no worries.

Liu Changlu hurriedly bowed his head to express his thanks, and then excitedly went out to announce the good news. After a while, cheers came from outside.Zhu Rui was in a good mood, picked up a duan inkstone, and handed it to Master Wang: "Only the master can appreciate this kind of good thing, come, take it and use it." Master Wang liked it very much, so he took it and thanked him.

Although many people were sacrificed, the result this time was not satisfactory.Lin Zimo was really awkward for a few days, and killed a person himself, so that he would not have nightmares at night, but he came from a society ruled by law and was used to a peaceful and equal life, so he felt a little psychologically uncomfortable.

Life slowly got on the right track, with a change of environment, coupled with deliberate forgetting, Lin Zimo gradually returned to normal.The farm has been successfully built, including hunting and buying. There are already flocks of sheep and rabbits, and even a few deer.Lin Zimo felt a sense of satisfaction every time he made an inspection tour. It was also an achievement to watch the hungry people gradually become more energetic.

Lin Zimo noticed that Mrs. Li has changed a lot, with a slightly plump figure, a round face, and a smile all over her face, she is very happy and rich.Seeing Lin Zimo looking at him, he bowed a blessing: "Thank you, son." Lin Zimo immediately understood that Liu's flat wife was unlucky, and this regular wife raised her eyebrows.Quietly asked her: "Have you been sent away?" Li Shi whispered: "How can it be so easy? After all, she is a relative of her mother-in-law and gave birth to a child. However, she is no longer a common wife, just a concubine, mother-in-law, The husband is no longer partial to her." After a pause, he continued: "The little woman has the backing of the young master, so she can rest assured that she can earn money to support herself and her children. The little woman is not afraid of what will happen in the future."

Lin Zimo couldn't help but look at her with admiration, it didn't sound like an ignorant person said: "Sister Zheng has studied before?" Li's face flushed: "The little lady's grandfather is a poor scholar, and he learned a few words with Xiaoxi when he was young. "It's no wonder that I can recognize characters so quickly, and my speech is also a bit standard.I endured it, but I couldn't hold back the desire in my heart. I couldn't help but said: "I have never understood why Mrs. Zheng is in such a predicament, why is she still swallowing her anger? If you don't get along, find another husband?

Li's face turned pale, and she lowered her head: "Young master, why didn't the young girl think about it? This tone is not so easy to bear. It's easy to talk about separation, and the young lady withdraws and leaves. The world is so big, there must be room for her But the two children's in-laws will definitely not let the little girl take them away and fall into Liu's hands, An Neng is alive?" Two tears fell quietly to the ground: "The little girl can't let the two children die for her own good. I only blame the little girl for being blind!"

Lin Zimo is silent, divorce is the most harmful to children at any time, even in modern times, there are many problem children and children who run away from home.What's more, although it was stipulated in ancient times that women can marry and divorce, they can only take their own dowry with them. Children must definitely go to their in-laws' family. How many women live in their in-laws' house with humiliation for the sake of their children!

Resisting the discomfort in his heart, Lin Zimo blessed: "I hope Mrs. Zheng will be happy for the rest of her life." This strong woman has pulled her two children in the face of adversity. She never blames others and deserves to be treated well.

A few days later, another county magistrate from nearby Sishui County came. He was in his 20s, full of enthusiasm, and had the blood of just entering the officialdom.After exchanging greetings, he said directly: "Han heard from Brother Guan in Yishui County that his subordinates have been benefited by Brother Nian, and now more than half of the people can have enough food. Han is ashamed and unable to benefit the people. I came here specially to ask Brother Nian for advice, and I will help us in Sishui County no matter what."

After all, Zhu Rui is not an ordinary official, so he has to really think about the country left by his father.Helpless, he had to invite both Master Wang and Lin Zimo.Lin Zimo really appreciates the character of this young magistrate. He is young, has only been in the officialdom for a short time, and has the drive to do things for the people. Who knows if he can maintain it after a few years?Or become a bureaucrat?

Master Wang asked about the topography and products of Sishui County, and Lin Zimo had a good idea.Sishui County, like Yanshan County, has less land and more mountains, and the mountains are rich in sugar cane, but only a few people have the method of turning sugar beets into brown sugar. Brown sugar has not been boiled from sugar cane, and this is a big market.

Feeling preoccupied, he whispered a few words to Zhu Rui.Zhu Rui nodded, and said to the Han Wen county official: "Brother Han, please go back first. After two days, Zhu will send someone over to set up a large workshop for making brown sugar from sugar cane in Sishui County." Han Wen was overjoyed: " Can sugar cane be boiled into brown sugar?" I've only heard that beets can.Lin Zimo said: "Please don't worry, my Dong Weng has this prescription in his hand." After receiving the definite news, Han Wen thanked him again and again and left.

Master Wang was really convinced, and he stared at Lin Zimo: "The king is a man of gods, a genius of the country, and makes my generation of scholars feel ashamed." While flattering Lin Zimo, he did not forget to give Zhu Rui a supercilious look, silently Sue this villain who abused talent.Zhu Rui rubbed his nose helplessly, and said to Lin Zimo, "How sure are you in making brown sugar?" Although he has always believed in Lin Zimo's ability, he still has no idea without seeing the real thing.

Lin Zimo said: "It is very simple to make brown sugar from sugarcane, and you can learn it once you learn it. Moreover, the yield of sugarcane is large, which will greatly reduce the price of brown sugar." As long as it is squeezed into juice, it can be clarified with simple lime method and then boiled.The price of brown sugar has remained high, and many poor families can’t even afford it during confinement. The lower price is also a good news for women.

It's a pity that Lin Zimo doesn't know how to separate molasses, and he can't make white sugar, which is embarrassing.

The shopkeeper of Wuhan University is indispensable for this workshop, so the big shopkeeper who had just left was quickly transferred here again.Shopkeeper Wu didn't complain, he saw with his own eyes the brown sugar boiled in a small pot under Lin Zimo's command and laughed: "The market has been dominated by those families that cook brown sugar all the time, how much did you suffer for that share? Now Wang Jun came up with this method and gave his subordinates a sigh of relief!"

Shopkeeper Wu is in charge of all the business from south to north, and has to deal with all aspects. Although he bears the signboard of Prince Jing's Mansion, he still has to be careful when encountering this kind of monopoly business.

Everything was handed over to Shopkeeper Wu. These businesses are long-term transactions, which can earn money for the emperor and Zhu Rui, even for Lin Zimo's small treasury. Now, Lin Zimo can't figure out how much money he has.
