Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 321 Disappointment So It Was This Feeling

In Xiao Ma's narration, Lin Xiao and others knew the twists and turns.

A few days ago, a group of people known as the Nine Princes held the imperial decree and directly took over the brother workshop. Except for a few salt-making veterans, everyone else was kicked out of the brother workshop, and the salt could not be sold by anyone. To sell, you must have a salt sales certificate issued by the imperial court before you can sell it.

The people of Linjia Village were not reconciled, so they secretly made salt at home. This can be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest. Those who secretly made salt were arrested and killed, and all their property was confiscated. The entire Linjia Village is now depopulated Withering, a scene of depression!

After listening to Xiao Ma's description, Lin Xiao regretted and was annoyed.

She regretted that she told Li Yuyan and others about the benefits of the imperial court's salt control, and annoyed why she was so ambitious that she had to lead Linjiacun to sell salt to get rich, and now the entire Linjiacun has been affected!

However, has Linjiacun really become a desolate ghost village as Xiao Ma said?
"Xiao Ma, is what you said true?"

Lin Xiao looked at Xiao Ma nervously, with anticipation in his eyes.

How she wished that Xiao Ma had lied to her.

She didn't want to believe that Li Yuyan and Li Yuxuan would be such heartless people.

Xiao Ma nodded and said: "Brother Lin Xiao, my father won't let me tell, but I have a good relationship with Xiao Huzi in private, and you are the person Xiao Huzi respects the most, so I don't think I can hide it from you."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao's heart sank, she nodded dully, and continued walking towards the camp.

Every step she took, her heart seemed to fall to the bottom of the valley, her heart was chilly, and the cold made it difficult for her to breathe.

It turned out that it was so painful to be chilled by a person, as if the whole world had collapsed.

"Little Linzi!"

Seeing Lin Xiao walking ahead in a daze, Yu Xilin hurriedly grabbed her arm and called her softly, hoping to call back Lin Xiao's thoughts.

Lin Xiao regained her composure. She suppressed the pain in her heart, forced a smile, and said, "I'm fine."

Then he said to Xiyue who looked at him with the same worry:

"Please don't worry, the princess. I have a solution to the problem of people's difficulty in eating salt. Please ask the princess to send someone to buy coarse salt for livestock."

"Coarse salt? Those will eat the dead!"

Xiyue looked at Lin Xiao in surprise. She really didn't understand what this guy was planning. He actually tried to use this method to help others solve the problem of eating salt.

You must know that those coarse salts are poisonous, and people can't eat them at all!

Lin Xiao ignored Xiyue's surprise, but looked at her firmly, and continued:

"Please believe me, princess, I have my own way to turn those coarse salt into edible fine salt."

"Xiao Linzi, let's find a way to solve the salt problem together, and we must not be reckless."

Yu Xilin also dissuaded from the side.

Although he has seen Lin Xiao purify coarse salt into fine salt, the coarse salt of the Great Xia Dynasty is completely different from the coarse salt fed to livestock, even though they are both called "coarse salt" and can be fed to livestock There are not only many impurities in coarse salt, but also many harmful things to the human body.

If ordinary people eat a few mouthfuls, their lives will be in danger. At that time, Lin Xiao will naturally be involved!

"I will never make fun of people's lives!"

Lin Xiao looked at the two of them firmly, with an irresistible determination in his eyes.

"Since that's the case, I'll send someone to buy coarse salt!"

In the end, Xiyue was defeated by Lin Xiao's insistence.

Looking at the passionate Lin Xiao, Yu Xilin showed an imperceptible smirk.

In the dead of night, a black shadow leaped into the Spring Breeze Building, and he landed on the roof of an attic with a single tap of his toes.

In the attic, dim candles flickered faintly, illuminating the shadows in the house, making it impossible for people to see the faces of the people in the house.

"Are you here?"

Seeing the black shadow entering the attic, the people in the house greeted him respectfully, it was Ma San!

And that black shadow was none other than Yu Xilin!

Yu Xilin sat swaggeringly in front of the table, drank a cup of tea casually, then raised her eyes leisurely, looked at Ma San standing in front of her, and asked in a light tone:
"Are the plans ready?"

Ma San nodded and said: "Everything has been executed according to the plan!"

"very good!"

Yu Xilin nodded in satisfaction, and said: "The price of salt continues to rise during this period, and I guess it can only be sold for a short period of time. At that time, you can move to the Western Regions to try your luck!"

"Thank you, Young Master, for your appreciation!"

"Hehe. It's you who know the current affairs, unlike that old man in Lin Family Village who spends his life in vain without earning money, tsk tsk tsk"

While speaking, Yu Xilin's eyes sparkled, as if he was thinking about something pleasant.

"My subordinate understands!"

Ma San nodded respectfully, and then said, "Can that damn child Lin Xiao take the bait?"

"Hmph, whether you can take the bait or not is up to her!"

The expression on Yu Xilin's face instantly became gloomy, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

His love for Lin Xiao is true, his loathing is true, his distress is true, and his hatred is true
All kinds of complex emotions are intertwined, making him sinister and terrifying!
"Subordinates retire."

Seeing that Yu Xilin's face had changed, the old fried dough stick Ma San immediately saluted and left the attic.

After Ma San left, Yu Xilin took a strand of black hair tied with a red thread from her arms. This was the hair that Yu Xilin secretly cut off when Lin Xiao was asleep when they were in trouble on the island.

He thought that he had designed his death, and that the two of them would never see each other again in this life.

Never expected that Lin Xiao would come to the frontier alone. Not only did he save Li Yuyan, but he also tried to get the Turks to retreat, completely disrupting Yu Xilin's overall plan!

This woman really exceeded his expectations time and time again!

The corner of Yu Xilin's mouth outlined a wicked smile, which looked extremely dangerous and daunting.

At the same time, the study room in the Kyushu other courtyard was brightly lit.

Li Yuyan and Bai Zhancheng frowned tightly, paced back and forth in front of the table, looking restless, apparently encountered a difficult problem.

After a long time, Li Yuyan sighed and said, "Old Bai, Wang Tuo is hard to deal with!"

"Heh, who would have thought that in order to win the trust of the new emperor, he confiscated all the family property coefficients. He really is a vicious old fox!"

Bai Zhancheng's face was livid, he slapped the table with his palm, and said through gritted teeth.

"Yes!" Li Yuyan's face was also full of anger, "Brother Emperor, too, how could he do such a thing like crossing a river and tearing down bridges?"

"Didn't you get teased by that old fox Wang Tuo!"

Bai Zhancheng cursed bitterly.

Recently, the new emperor Li Yuxuan promulgated a new law at the suggestion of the prime minister Wang Tuo:
In the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, all the people were not allowed to make salt and sell salt or sugar without permission. All salt and sugar were produced and sold by the imperial court. Those who violated the order would be severely punished once they were verified!
