There are manpower, technology, vision, and motivation, and the so-called time and place are favorable, and once the people are united, what else can not be done?

Niu Laosan jumped on the stone mill and said loudly: "Folks, tell you a good news!" The prince sent a little gentleman who controls the art of immortals, let's not build thatched houses, all of them will be changed into brick houses. Come on, come on, stop the work in your hands, don't demolish the house first, let's go to the back mountain to dig earth and build a kiln, we want to build the first red brick kiln in Lantian County in Niujia Town......"

The people were stunned for a moment, and many looked at each other and whispered, "Did I hear it wrong?" The third said that he would build a brick house, and he would also build a brick kiln to burn bricks? ”

Brick burning was a high-level industry in the Tang Dynasty, and only the big families could control this technology, and it was green bricks that were burned, which was very expensive.

Niu Laosan laughed, and began to organize the manpower with fourteen comrades, although the people hesitated, but still stopped the work of demolishing the house, and the labor of the whole village soon arrived in the back mountain.

Tian Xiu'er was confident, she didn't look at the drawings and classics at all, walked at the foot of the mountain for a long time, and finally chose a place, and said confidently: "This place is ventilated and sunny, which is the most suitable for building a brick kiln,"

"Grandma's, dig ......" Niu Laosan waited for her words, and rushed forward with the men. Although he is the mayor of the town, he is a farmer from Niujia Village, and he is more powerful than ordinary men.

In the blink of an eye, the scene was in full swing.

Tian Xiu'er rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward, and suddenly jumped a few old men next to her. The fourth grandfather opened his hand to stop the little girl, and shouted in his mouth: "Little gentleman, don't come here, there is no shortage of labor in our cattle village, you can just point on the side, don't dare to let you do it!" ”

As he spoke, he pushed Tian Xiu'er hard, and said solemnly: "If you are tired, our whole village will be distressed." ”

Tian Xiu'er had no choice but to find a big stone to sit down on, staring closely at the villagers working on the mountainside......

……

At this moment, I suddenly heard a common person exclaim, shouting: "I am an old lady, today is really amazing, I usually can't dig jade everywhere, and today I dug a big ...... as soon as I got my head."

"What? Did you dig up jade? Everyone was stunned, and they gathered around to look.

Tian Xiu'er was also very curious, she raised her feet and ran over to check, but found that someone had dug a small pit in the ground, and a little delicate white color was exposed underneath.

The people who dug for jade continued to excavate, and as the scope of the small pit became larger and larger, the exposed jade became larger and larger.

First of all, it was the size of a child's fist!

And then it's the size of half a winter melon!

It slowly became the size of half a millstone......

Even so, the edge of the jade is still not visible, and it is obvious that there are still a lot of parts buried underneath.

At the beginning of the digging, everyone just laughed and scolded the people, saying that he had taken shit luck today, but as the small pit not only got bigger, but the jade below also got bigger and bigger, and everyone's faces finally changed color.

"Oh my God, this is a treasure!" The eldest grandfather separated everyone on crutches, and looked at the white jade in the pit in a daze.

This is a piece of white and flawless white jade, as big as a grinding plate, the whole body is round, and it looks like a natural giant egg.

The villagers digging jade were full of ecstasy, and said loudly: "I can make a fortune now, I used to dig a fist-sized jade, and I sold it to the Sun family for two yuan, this jade is so big, I estimate that it can be sold at least ...... Can sell 200 ......"

He stood in the dirt pit and moved hard, but it was difficult to move even a little with his strength to eat, this piece of jade was too big, and the weight was probably not less than five hundred catties.

The surrounding people were envious, but everyone was not jealous, only heard a few strong men shouting, shouting: "Niu Laoqi, don't worry, let's help you move it together, after this piece of jade is sold to the Sun family, you are a rich man." ”

Niu Laoqi, who was digging jade, laughed, spat with both hands, and mustered up the strength to move jade with a few men.

Several women surrounded Niu Lao Qi's daughter-in-law and kept congratulating him, and someone quipped: "You of the old seven family complained about the hard days all day long, and now it is finally good, your man dug up a big jade, and this jade can be sold to the Sun family for at least two hundred yuan!" ”

Niu Laoqi's daughter-in-law was full of joy, and her whole body was trembling with excitement, she suddenly screamed, raised her feet and ran away: "I will go to the county seat to inform Mr. Yu of the Sun family, and ask him to bring money and bring someone over to get the jade!" ”

A few women in the back hurriedly caught up and said loudly: "Seventh sister-in-law, go slowly, let's go with you, and everyone will help you bargain at that time, so as not to be pressed too hard by the Sun family!" ”

Another woman nodded again and again: "We have to bargain together, last time my family doll got a piece of white jade the size of a head, but the Sun family only gave five guan, and was also collected by the county clerk for the usual tax." ”

Tian Xiu'er frowned slightly, she suddenly pulled the fourth grandfather Niu next to her, and asked in a low voice, "What is the origin of this Sun family?" ”

The fourth grandfather looked at a few women and sighed lightly: "The Sun family is the largest family in Lantian County, they have been operating the jade industry for generations, once we Lantian people dig up jade, most of them will be bought cheaply by his family." ”

Tian Xiu'er frowned even more, and hesitated: "Since you know that it is cheap, why do you want to sell it?" ”

The fourth grandfather was stunned for a moment, and his old face was a little gloomy.

The grandfather next to him coughed, sighed while wheezing, and said helplessly: "No way, poor!" He pointed to the big pit, and said reluctantly: "Let's just say that the jade dug by Lao Qi is so big, I have never seen the old man in my life, this is a giant treasure, but what is the use of a giant treasure?" ”

He looked up to the sky and sighed, and muttered: "The people in the village are too poor, and it is useless to keep the jade, so it can only be sold......"

"If you want to sell it, then sell it to me!"

Tian Xiu'er spoke suddenly.

"Sold to you?" The grandfather was stunned, and several other old men were also stunned.

Tian Xiu'er didn't explain, she suddenly took out the official seal from her arms, and shouted to Niu Laosan in the distance: "Mayor Niu, this official is the economic instructor of Niujia Town, I have the right to call the town's construction funds, and the 7,500 yuan will be mine, and I will trouble you to bring someone to bring the money over." ”

Niu Laosan was stunned and subconsciously said, "What do you want to do?" ”

He walked to Tian Xiu'er in a few steps, and said with a solemn face: "Those money are construction funds issued by the imperial court, and no one can move around, the prince once said, whoever is greedy for funds, he will cut off his head." ”

"He can't cut me!"

Tian Xiu'er bit her lip, she suddenly jumped to the side of the dirt pit, and said loudly to the villager Niu Laoqi: "I want this piece of jade, you don't have to sell it to the Sun family, the Sun family only gives you two or three hundred guan, and I will give you seven thousand five hundred guan......"

Wow –

There was an uproar in the audience, Niu Laoqi trembled all over, and sat directly at the bottom of the pit.

Tian Xiu'er shouted to the stunned veteran: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and carry the money! This jade is as natural as a giant egg, I want to buy it and send it to Chang'an......"

The veterans were stunned, and Niu Laosan suddenly slapped his thigh and grinned: "Why didn't I expect it?" This thing is obviously a treasure, and it should be dedicated to the prince. ”

He laughed and said to Tian Xiu'er: "You don't have to call the construction fund, you don't need to buy this piece of jade, we will give it away for free in Niujia Village." ”

"Given away for nothing?" Tian Xiu'er was stunned.

Niu Laosan hesitated, turned his head Niu Laoqi and said: "Laoqi, tell Mr. Xiao, did you sell this piece of jade to make a fortune, or did it belong to the public property of the clan?" ”

The man in the pit touched his head and grinned: "You still need to ask about this, we have ancestral rules in Lantian County, no matter which village the people dig up the jade, after selling it, ninety percent will go to the clan, and only one percent will go to themselves." ”

"And that kind of thing?" Tian Xiu'er was dumbfounded.

Niu Laosan smiled proudly and explained: "This is the ancestral rule of Lantian County, no matter which people dig up jade, they must give ninety percent to the clan to relieve the old, weak, lonely and widows in the village." Because jade is a treasure given by God to the poor to live, no one is allowed to swallow it privately......"

Tian Xiu'er suddenly realized, and then nodded and said: "Since this is the case, the little sister is not hypocritical, Mayor Niu hurriedly beckoned someone to carry the jade out, and we will send it to Chang'an immediately." ”

She glanced at everyone and said solemnly: "Where the big jade is produced, there must be mineral veins breeding, I sent this jade not to please the dean, but to use it to persuade the dean to invest!" ”

Niu Laosan's eyes lit up, and he said in a trembling voice: "Let the prince invest?" ”

Tian Xiu'er nodded, and said: "You are all from the dean's own soldiers, you should know how good the dean's ability is to engage in industry, if you can persuade him to come to Niujia Town to start an industry, I am afraid that the entire Lantian people will make a fortune......

"So what are you waiting for, it's done!" Niu Laosan laughed, he and the fourteen veterans jumped down the pit in person, everyone shouted hard, gritted their teeth and carried the giant white jade out.

After this jade came out of the pit, he found that it was bigger than the pit, and all the veterans were full of redness, and Niu Laosan snorted with difficulty, and gasped: "His grandmother's, this thing is afraid to have a thousand catties."

"Is there an ox cart in the village?" Tian Xiu'er circled around the white jade twice, and found that this jade was round all over, and if it couldn't be loaded and transported away, I was afraid that it would not be able to be carried to Chang'an.

The grandfather sighed and said ashamedly: "The car has it, but the cow doesn't." The village is so poor that the land is ploughed by hand, and cattle have never been used. ”

Tian Xiu'er was stunned, turned her face to look at the dilapidated village in the distance, and vaguely remembered that Tianjiazhuang, where she was born, seemed to be so poor at the beginning.

Niu Lao San shouted: "If there is no cow, I will use people to pull it, as long as I can invite the prince to run the industry, why should I be a cow pulling a cart?" ”

"Not bad!" The fourteen veterans next to him spoke out at the same time, and shouted in unison: "As long as the prince can come, Niujia Town will definitely make a fortune, brothers, we will make this cart of cattle today." ”

Everyone laughed, and walked slowly towards the village with great difficulty, and a man in front of him had already run back to the village, and then pulled the only cart in the clan.

The veterans shouted and struggled to load the jade onto the car, Niu Laosan spat viciously in the palm of his hand, and personally pulled up the cart and walked in the direction of Chang'an.

At this moment, I heard the sound of hooves outside the village, and about a hundred and ten knights galloped towards them, and the horses under their crotches stirred up dust.

This group of people saw the jade on the car from a distance, and the leader immediately shouted: "Dare to steal my Sun Jiabaoyu, there is no forgiveness for killing ......"

Before the words fell, the knight behind him had already opened his bow and set up arrows, only to hear a swishing gust of wind, Niu Laosan pulled the ox cart and couldn't dodge, poof, and was hit by an arrow in the abdomen.

"Escape quickly and go to see the prince!" Niu Laosan's eyes were about to split, he covered his abdomen with one hand, and directly pulled out the big knife on his waist with the other hand.

The Sun family dispatched hundreds of knights, shooting arrows and killing people as soon as they met, which is probably a decision to destroy the village, so as to ensure that the news of the giant jade is not exposed.

The villagers only thought that this piece of jade could be sold for 200 yuan, but the family knew that it was a priceless treasure.

For the sake of this peerless treasure jade, what about slaughtering a small village?

It's just a few hundred mud legs, and the family hasn't killed them. As long as the action is clean, it can be pushed to the green forest bandits afterwards.
