Xia Nan cleared his throat and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, Master Hu is dead, although no one went to report the news, but he didn't go back, his family will find out sooner or later, maybe they will report to the official, or the Hu family will directly bring the family to slaughter the entire village...... and then stop to see the reaction of the villagers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The villagers were blinded by the fear of the news leak and long-term hatred just now, and now they were reminded like this, and suddenly woke up, yes, although Master Hu is dead, the Hu family is a big family, and there are a lot of ruffians and hooligans who have been raised, and the news of Master Hu's death will not be hidden for long, and revenge will definitely follow. The villagers forgot the pleasure of beating each other just now, and they were afraid, whispering about the possible consequences, thinking that they might be retaliated by the Hu family, and the timid ones had already cried.

The elder who pleaded with Master Hu just now said to Xia Nan: "Two strong men, the old man is Tan Shan, the head of the village, I heard Tan Er say that the two are businessmen from Nanyang, they must be well-informed, and now the big mistake has been made, how to save the lives of the whole village, the two strong men have a plan?" ”

Xia Nan said firmly: "Village Chief Tan, Master Hu must die, and Ma Yuan Village will have a way to live. ”

Village Chief Tan has a single name and a mountain character, he read a private school for a few years when he was young, he knows a few words, and he also lived in Fucheng, and he has seen the world in Ma Yuan Village, and stands out from the crowd when the whole village is basically illiterate.

However, this village chief is also a bitter character, although Ma Yuan Village only needs to pay the salt tax, do not pay other grain taxes, but in ancient times, drying salt was a chore, and after paying the salt class all year round, there were not a few left, and when Master Hu took control of the salt class, the whole village was like falling into hell, and it was about to be unable to live.

At present, there are two people who claim to be Nanyang merchants, who inexplicably killed Master Hu, and the villagers also beat two minions, although Tan Shan secretly said that he was happy in his heart, but the Hu family has been a big family for several generations, and they have been raising their family for many years, and they have a deep relationship with the county government, whether it is private revenge or using the power of the government, the consequences are unbearable for Ma Yuan Village. The two of them could have patted their butts and walked away, and the villagers of Mayuan Village have lived here for generations, making a living from the salt works, and they can go there.

Tan Shan decided that he had to find a way to leave the two of them, and it was good to think of a countermeasure, but if he couldn't think of it, he would face the revenge of the Hu family with the villagers - things always started because of the two - but he didn't want the young man in front of him to say that there was a countermeasure. Tan Shan didn't believe that the two merchants had the ability to fight against the Hu family, and besides, these two people were dressed strangely, so he had to say whether they were businessmen, so he should say "I want to hear it in detail", but the expression on his face was disapproving.

Xia Nan saw Tan Shan's thoughts and didn't care: "Village Chief Tan, let me ask one thing first. Does Master Hu take charge of the salt class, does the government approve the documents? ”。

Tan Shan shook his head: "What Master Hu relies on is nothing more than friendship with the county government secretary office, and there are no official documents. ”

Xia Nan asked again: "The salt farm can be under the jurisdiction of a special person, why can the county government also manage it?" ”

Tan Shan was often responsible for the payment of the salt class before Master Hu took over the salt class, and he was very familiar with the process, saying: "The salt field originally belonged to the Haibei Lifting Division, and there was an ambassador for the salt section, after the 45th year of the Wanli earthquake, the salt farm produced less salt, and after the expiration of the term of the ambassador of the salt section, no one was willing to take over, and the post of ambassador was vacant. This year's salt production is too little, Lingao County has very little income, and he doesn't care about the escrow, Master Hu is taking advantage of the loophole, willing to take charge of the salt class, Lingao County can't ask for it, as long as he gets the folded color, the rest doesn't care, as long as the lifting division folds the color and hands it over, it is even more ignorant of the salt farm. ”

After understanding the operation process, Xia Nan was determined, and it was similar to what he guessed, so he said: "What Master Hu can drill, we can also drill." Then he said to the surrounding villagers, "Fellow villagers, I have a way to save Ma Yuan Village from this disaster, and the whole village can live a good life." ”

When the villagers heard this, most of them did not believe it and turned their heads to each other.

Tan Shan hesitated and asked, "Why is the strong man so determined?" ”

In the summer, Nanqi calmed down, "I can't say a word, can I ask the village chief to borrow a step to speak." ”

Seeing his confident appearance, Tan Shan had the mentality of listening to him, asked the body to be temporarily stored in the corner of the village, sent someone to guard it, and sent the rest of the villagers home to take the two back to their homes.

After sitting down, Xia Lin and the others briefly introduced their names and perfected their temporary identity as merchants, Tan Shan couldn't wait to ask, "What is the best plan to resolve the disaster?" ”

Xia Nan's strategy is actually not complicated, that is, to use the power vacuum of salt farm management, replace Master Hu, take charge of the salt class, and then increase the commission for the discount of the county government of Lingao, in exchange for the support of the county government.

Tan Shan listened to this plan, and shook his head again and again: "The Hu family is extremely familiar with the secretaries and officials of the county government, and they are all familiar with the salt class, which is equivalent to having half an official body. ”

Xia Nan knew that the ancient people were afraid of dealing with the government, and regarded the people and things related to the government as very mysterious, and replacing Master Hu seemed to be an impossible task in their eyes. In fact, Master Hu's actions have been seen a lot in later generations, that is, the collusion between officials and businessmen and the means of underworlds, the truth is the same in ancient and modern times.

Xia Nan smiled slightly: "Dare to ask the village chief, how did Master Hu let the government let him do whatever he wanted?" ”

Tan Shan looked disdainful: "It's nothing more than a yellow and white thing." ”

"That's right, since the greed of officials is nothing more than money, then who gives it is not the same, and if we give more, those secretaries and officials of the county government will still care about the life and death of Master Hu?" Summer South analyzed.

Tan Shan was speechless for a while, and then asked: "Even if it is as you said, then what if the Hu family comes to retaliate?" ”

Xia Nan asked rhetorically, "How many young people are there in Ma Yuan Village?" ”

"There are a total of 428 households in the village, and there are about 400 young and strong people."

"How many people does the Hu family support?"

"Master Hu's real name is Hu Gangsheng, and the evil servants of the family estimate that there are fifty or sixty people."

Xia Nan continued to guide: "If the government does not support the Hu family, then fifty or sixty members of his family will come, and the whole village of Ma Yuan Village will be young and strong together, can they win?" ”

Tan Shan has no doubt about this: "Without the government's care, it will naturally be able to fight!" ”

Xia Nanyi clapped his palms: "Buy the government, and then beat the Hu family down, the salt farm is operated by Ma Yuan Village itself, except for the paid discount, the rest of the salt is sold, won't the whole village live a good life?" ”

Tan Shan thought about it carefully and felt that this plan seemed bold, but it was also true. The government only wants benefits, so it doesn't care whether the benefits are given by Zhang San or Li Si, and it may not necessarily support a dead old man Hu, and if the Hu family who has lost the government's support is a toothless tiger, as long as the whole village is united, the Hu family may not be able to please it.

Thinking that in the future, he could completely get rid of the oppression of the Hu family, and the salt from the salt field could bring white flowers and silver to the village, the old village chief was excited, and the poor Ma Yuan Village could make a fortune in his own hands, and he was qualified to enter the ancestral hall and be enshrined after his death.

However, in addition to being excited, Tan Shan still maintained a trace of clarity: "Xia Zhuangshi is a good person to the end, send the Buddha to the west, how to negotiate with the government, in order to ensure the qualification to replace the Hu family to pay the salt tax, and to avoid the responsibility of killing Hu Gangsheng?" ”

In the summer, Tan Shan glanced at the south, and whoever dared to despise the ancients would definitely hit the street. Although the old man was attracted by the blueprint he depicted, he was still able to stay sober, and he also set himself up with peasant cunning: calling himself a strong man, and keeping saying that he would be a good person to the end, in fact, he drew a clear line, and after he came up with an idea to learn from Lei Feng stupidly, they replaced Master Hu to control the salt farm, and the two of them had no use value.

Xia Nancai will not let such a thing happen, he and Lin Weiye crossed over to this last dynasty in a daze, and inexplicably killed a local bully, in the face of the pressure of survival and the chaos in the world, how to stand still, dig the first pot of gold, and then seek a self-preservation power in the troubled times, is the only goal for the current and future period, and now is a good opportunity.

Xia Nan was not in a hurry, leaned back in the chair, found the most comfortable sitting position, and pretended to think about the strategy, but in his heart was the wording of the organization. In a trance, he suddenly found the feeling of business negotiation in the old time and space, both cooperation and mutual interests, and on the surface, he could not hurt his anger.

Lin Weiye couldn't help in this kind of scene, just silently wiped the steel crossbow that had made great achievements.

Xia Nan saw him out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart, looking at the man who was silent, as soon as he made a move, it was two lives, and the science and engineering otaku really couldn't use normal human thinking to speculate. But fortunately, after killing Master Hu, his own inspiration was stimulated, a bold plan could be put into practice, and the two traversers could gain a firm foothold on Hainan Island in the 17th century.

Tan Shan waited for a while, but didn't see Xia Nan answer, and his beautiful vision was suddenly overwhelmed by the worries of reality, and he asked uneasily: "Xia Zhuangshi, could it be that paying the salt tax on behalf of Xia Shan and exempting him from the crime of murder can't be taken into account, or are there difficulties in both?" ”

Xia Nan pretended to be very embarrassed: "There is a way, the two of us are businessmen, if you pay the salt tax, the county government gets the 10% of the silver, buy the surplus salt in our name, and give 10% of the profits we get to the county government, you will definitely be able to replace Hu Gangsheng." After replacing him, your village and his family will only have the original usury relationship, and the murder can be regarded as a dispute over loan collection, which has nothing to do with the imperial grain and national tax. However, it is really not cost-effective for us to get involved in the battle between you and the Hu family......."
