Poor family mother and son

Chu Qing really wanted to keep these captives.

Without electricity and machines, one can imagine how slow the progress of the ore crushing work is.

It would be a great thing if the captives were kept to smash stones every day without paying wages.

It's a pity, the task of chasing and killing Vos' remnants has been handed over to Xue Zhenghao, and it's not easy for Chu Qing to keep the prisoners.

"Don't worry, Marquis Linyang, the lower officials will escort the prisoners to General Xue!" Xu Guangze said seriously, and then suddenly said: "Hey, that guy probably cries eight times a day recently!"

Chu Qing: "Why?"

Xu Guangze: "The only mountain road that is easy to pass was bombed by you. Xue Zhenghao had no choice but to take the captives back to the camp. He couldn't afford to feed them!"

Chu Qing: "Isn't it over if you kill it?"

Xu Guangze: "Didn't my brother-in-law report to the emperor that he would keep King Zuo Xian in exchange for money? The emperor told him to keep all the captives. The more people there are, the better."

Is it because he is afraid that King Voss will not change if there are fewer people?
It seemed that from this day on, Chu Qing began to treat being assassinated as a routine.

"Mother, something's wrong!" Xiaobao frowned and said, "It's been two months, no matter how many remnants of Voss soldiers should be wiped out, they can't all be Voss people!"

At the end of July, it will be the beginning of autumn in a few days, but the "autumn tiger" is so rampant that Xiaobao's nose and forehead are soaked in fine beads of sweat, and his neck is already wet.

Looking at the martyr's monument in the distance, Chu Qing said faintly: "But we haven't caught anyone once, have we? Those who come out now are all masters."

Xiaobao: "Mother, do you think it will be..."

"No." Knowing that his son was referring to the emperor, Chu Qing shook his head: "The peace talks are not over yet, if the talks collapse, they still have to count on us to help defend against the enemy;

I actually think that countless "Meng family" should stand up;
Look, if you miss a hit, you turn around and run away. This style is going to entangle us for a long time. "

When Chu Qing said this, Xiao Bao also wanted to understand.

Niangqin resigned from office and became a marquis, so that those who opposed Niangqin could no longer impeach her; but they still couldn't get Niangqin's wealth.

Just now that the Vos bandits have not been completely wiped out, the news of Chu Qing's assassination came out again. Simply, they also sent someone to attack, no matter whether they succeeded or not, they could finally push it to the Voss.

Chu Qing was a little annoyed.

It can be guessed that it is the family related to those people in the officialdom, but it is not sure whose family it is, because no assassin has been caught.

"Mother, let's sprinkle salt, if we don't use range magic at this time, how long will we be passive!" Xiaobao said.

"Oh, let's do it!" Chu Qing said.

Therefore, in the following days, a saying began to spread around Daxuan: Coarse salt should not be eaten frequently, and many diseases are caused by coarse salt.

Despite the fact that there are not many information channels for the common people, as long as there is news, it will spread very quickly, especially when it comes to dietary health.

In Daxuan at this time, only the nobles could afford fine salt, and the common people could only afford coarse salt.

Those coarse salt particles are tidal when bought, and there are many, many black spots in them, and it is troublesome to eat, so they should be smashed with a rolling pin in advance.

Some salt particles are so large that they have to be crushed into small pieces before being rolled with a rolling pin. The taste is also bitter and astringent.

When people learn that the coarse salt they eat may cause big neck disease, premature birth, body edema, dizziness and other diseases, they start to worry about health problems.

Some people may have one or two of them, and some people may be healthy and have no symptoms, but as soon as these news come out, they all actively check their seats.

Although this is not alarmist, long-term consumption of coarse salt does have many disadvantages, and those diseases are indeed common among the common people; however, this kind of news spread suddenly, which did cause panic and complaints among the common people.

Panic, because these are common diseases and difficult to eradicate, because they can afford medicine more than salt.

The complaint is because, since they know that there are so many disadvantages of eating coarse salt, they can't afford fine salt.

But soon, in food courts and many shops all over the place, you can buy refined salt with the same price as coarse salt, which is whiter than fine salt and has a more pure taste.

It is not easy to be affected by moisture, half a catty is half a catty, and it will not be found that half a tael is missing after a few days.

It's just that it's more troublesome when buying. You need to bring your household registration certificate, and each person can only buy half a catty each time.

And it's not available every day. You have to wait more than half a month to buy it once, because people say that you can't sell it until the next batch of goods arrives.

But this is also very good, if a family counts five people, half a catty is enough for them to eat for a month.

The common people are reluctant to eat salt, their meals are extremely bland, and many people can eat half a catty of salt for nearly two months.

During the autumn harvest, the price of salt in the five or six state capitals radiating westward from Linyang County dropped again and again.

The biggest losers are salt merchants and salt officials.

They are the most powerful business gang in the southern state of Daxuan. Relying on the imperial court's franchise and the protection of the local government, they are almost "making money while lying down."

Not only are they wealthy, they are supporters of the imperial court's finances and manipulators of the regional economy, and they have a wide range of influence. They are a local interest group whose wealth and power cannot be underestimated.

Farming, water conservancy, disaster relief, education and other undertakings in prefectures and counties are inseparable from their funding.

Salt merchants are part-time jobs of most merchants. They buy and sell salt, or monopolize local salt farms, which account for a considerable proportion of their investment.

Refined salt rushes into the Daxuan market. Because it is sold in limited quantities, it seems to be a trickle, but it has the effect of a tsunami.

Because all places that sell fine salt guarantee a regular supply in the future.

However, the requirement of showing household registration for registration prevents merchants from purchasing refined salt from these people.

I can only buy half a catty in more than half a month, which is barely enough for my family to eat. How can I sell the extra to you?Besides, even if it is sold to you, at what price will you buy it?
Compared with the disease caused by rough salt, the price you give is enough to cure us?

These people who were hurt by the "smashing" of refined salt knew with their heels that Chu Qing did it, but they couldn't do anything—Chu Qing's salt field was not the salt field designated by the salt guide they held.

When the autumn harvest was coming to an end, Chu Qing's mansion was completed.

Why so fast?
Speaking of this incident, most of Chu Qing's anger at being assassinated was reduced—Xu Guangze bought the No. [-] brick from Baolu Group to build Chu Qing's house.

Buy the Chu family's goods with the public money, build the Chu family's house, um, I'm satisfied.

Xu Guangze, a clever little ghost, even raised [-]% of the quotation he gave to the public. Chu Qing took half of it as a kickback for him, and the other half was used to run an orphanage.

There are many orphans in Daxuan, and Linyang County is the same.

Some children escaped after being abducted, some were abandoned because of illness and the family had no money to treat them;

War hinders population development, and so does poverty.
