Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1198 Join if you can't beat it
Jiang Jiuniang fell into deep thought, so the current situation in Guizhou is that she relies entirely on those coal bosses to support her. The coal bosses have a big business and have countless slaves to work with. Ordinary people are not needed. Even those who are useful are directly bought as slaves.

As a result, the people had no chance to make money and no hope of living on, so they naturally began to behave badly, work hard to have children, and then let the children steal things to feed the whole family.

Jiang Jiuniang originally thought that she had quite a lot of experience and had seen all kinds of strange things, but she didn't expect that it would be an eye-opener here.

The government acquiesces. After all, they can complete the KPI without relying on the people. The court will naturally not hold them accountable. Even because there are many rich people here and they can complete the task beyond the standard, it is too late for them to be happy.

Once one's own rights and interests are guaranteed, the life and death of the people will not matter.

It turns out that far away from the capital, you can really do whatever you want.

In the evening, the family of three had dinner at the Miao family. The old couple of the Miao family cooked a lot of Qianzhou specialties for them to eat. Every dish was delicious and every plate was eaten clean.

However, the Miao family was not at peace. Miao Shan's two sons were taught bad things by Mrs. Liu. They called Miao Lanlan to pay for the money. After knowing that Mrs. Liu was divorced, they made a fuss at home all night. In the end, Miao Shan was angry. They were imprisoned directly in the woodshed before they became quiet.

Lu Baichuan saw that the Miao family was full of chicken feathers, so he didn't stay much and left early with his wife and children.

After returning to the inn, Jiang Jiuniang told Lu Baichuan what she learned from Miao Lanlan.

Jiang Jiuniang expressed her opinion: "This situation has been going on for many years. Once it changes, it will affect the cake of many people. We can't change it, but I think it doesn't matter if we can't change it. We can join in."

Speaking of this, Jiang Jiuniang raised her eyebrows with a proud look on her face.

Lu Baichuan, however, didn't understand what she meant, and his face was full of confusion.

Jiang Jiuniang grinned widely and laughed: "Our family's business involves all walks of life, why can't it involve the coal mining industry? There are many coal mines here, and the government outsources them. Our family can just own a few mountains, okay? Find local people to come and work, so that the people have something to do."

Although she cannot take care of all the people, she is not the Holy Mother. She cannot help everyone, and some people are not worthy of her help.

"In addition, I found that the consumption here is quite low, and the consumption for the rich is very small. Can't our Jiayuan Pavilion be moved here? If I go to the rouge shop, I will take care of the faces of the rich women in Qianzhou City. Got it!"

In other words, she hired a few mines to recruit workers for mining, and opened a few high-end shops specifically for the consumption of the rich here, making money from the rich, which can not only help the ordinary people here, but also There is no more cost-effective business than this to make your own wallet full.

Lu Baichuan looked at her in surprise. Sure enough, his wife was a business person. He had never thought of this at all.

He originally wanted to use some of his powers to rectify the situation, but such a large-scale war would definitely be troublesome, and since they were traveling lightly, it would be particularly troublesome to move, and they would make enemies everywhere. The Lu family would not be easy to get along with in the capital in the future.

Now the emperor has begun to be wary of his power. If he offends everyone again, then when the emperor turns against him, the Lu family will be in a dilemma.

It's better to join if you can't beat him, as his wife said, so that you can develop your own power and wealth without offending others, and you can also have a good relationship with local officials, so that the emperor will be wary and won't attack the Lu family easily.

However, the problem we are facing now is that the coal mines are limited, and it is impossible to buy them if you want. They may have been divided up by local wealthy businessmen, and they have a close relationship with Qian Xiao, so it is not easy to deal with them for a while.

Jiang Jiuniang waved her hand and said: "If the prefect is healthy, I really can't do anything, but it seems that he will not live long. He will definitely come to me when he asks for help. Just wait, it won't be long. "

As for the coal mine, she felt that there must be a lot of them, and Qian Xiao must have their handle. It would not be a big deal to find two handles to suppress them and give up a few mines.

Jiang Jiuniang has many ways to deal with such insidious and bullying rich people without any psychological burden.After all, Mr. Lin had the intention to rob her from the beginning. It can be seen from this that he is not a good person, so her dealing with the Lin family can be regarded as punishing evil and promoting good.

Lu Baichuan had nothing to say, his wife's idea was brilliant.

However, Jiang Jiuniang thought of another thing and said: "The Lin family will probably still find trouble with the Miao family. While we are doing business here, we should also pay attention to the Miao family. After all, they are the first friends we met here. Maybe there will be more contacts in the future.”

After a day of contact today, she felt that the Miao family could still get along, especially Miao's mother and Miao Lanlan, both of whom had great wisdom.

"it is good."

Lu Baichuan nodded. After a busy day, he packed up as soon as possible and went to bed.

Later in the night, there was a knock on the door. Lu Baichuan stood up and opened the door. When he saw an unfamiliar face, he subconsciously wanted to close the door, but the man hurriedly stopped him.

"Master, our Lord has invited you! Is it true that your lady can treat my Lord's illness before?"

The man was very anxious, and there was still a trickle of sweat on his forehead in this weather, which showed that he had been running all the way here.

Lu Baichuan instantly understood what his wife meant by "very quickly" before, admired her in his heart, and nodded.

"My lord fell ill after dinner. He can no longer get out of bed and is in a coma. If your lady can really save my lord, we will be very grateful!"

As he said that, the man bowed to Lu Baichuan with a very pious attitude.

"Hold on."

Lu Baichuan responded, closed the door, and went back to call Jiang Jiuniang. Jiang Jiuniang was already prepared and had already sat up.

"I'll leave after I get dressed. Let's take our son with us. I don't worry about him staying here alone."

"it is good."

The family of three followed the man to Qian Xiao's house. The house was already in a mess. When they got to the house, they found that besides her there were a large number of doctors, who were helpless in the house.

Seeing the young man running out suddenly, they thought they were inviting some expert to come. Unexpectedly, a woman was brought in, and all the doctors showed disdain on their faces.

Naturally, Jiang Jiuniang would not miss the disdainful expressions on their faces. They did not respect her, so there was no need for her to take into account their feelings. She said directly: "Only I can cure your adults' illness. Let them all go back."

A group of doctors were furious when they heard this. Some people wanted to stand up and spray her, but Qian Xiao on the bed was still waiting for help. The servants didn't let them say anything at all, and immediately followed Jiang Jiuniang's request and took them all away. Got out.

However, they were unwilling to leave, so they waited outside the yard to see if Jiang Jiuniang was bragging or if she was really capable.
