Through Time Chapter 131

When the men had dragged the body away, Zhao Lang ordered that

“Go to hell and arrange for these new slaves to be released from slavery if they learn salt making well.”

“If they behave well, you can also choose someone from them to be a deputy.”

“Yes, House Master.”

These new slaves were all teenagers who had gone to their deaths to be chosen, and Zhao Lang still had use for them.

Moreover, with this, it was impossible for these new slaves and old slaves to unite together.

Just look at the jealous gazes in the eyes of those old slaves at this moment.

Pulling together, dividing, simple means, but extremely effective.

The saltworks, no longer will there be any problems.

Soon, night falls and peace returns to the salt flats once again.

Zhao Lang sat in his room, ready to put together the process that would make fine salt.

The entire salt farm was now, so to speak, completely in his hands.

It was possible to start refining refined salt, and when the process was mature, he would send the method to his cheap old dad.

After all, he only had one salt farm here, and it was Poppa’s place that was the big one.

Of course, there were still two hidden dangers, the Zhao family and the female flying thief.

Only, the Zhao family was a local gentry and, looking at that day, normally well guarded.

And the female flying thief came and went without a trace.

Zhao Long was unable to do anything about it for a while.

“We must find a chance to get rid of these two obstacles.”

Zhao Lang thought silently.

“It would be nice if there was a big event that could make the other side of the dragon and fish mix.”

Zhao Lang shook his head, how could such an opportunity just be said to be there.

Over the next few days, the salt farm quickly got into the swing of things.

Crude salt, began to be produced in a steady stream.

And Zhao Lang had already started planning to set aside an area to make salt by the sun-salt method.

There will be another big increase in production.

When the time comes, Zhao Lang will have his own income stream of sorts.

Although the money was not much at the beginning, it was better than asking his cheap old dad for money every time.

On this day, Zhao Lang took Go Die and the others back to the farm, the salt farm no longer needed his constant attention.

Only when he reached the entrance of the manor did he see Wang Cai preparing to go out with a group of servants.

“My lord! You’re back!”

Seeing Zhao Lang, Wang Cai shouted excitedly.

“Wangcai! Where are you going?”

Zhao Lang couldn’t help but ask.

Wangcai immediately came forward and complained that

“My lord, you should quickly persuade Elder Qin, I really can’t carry it anymore.”

“These days Qin Lao is always watching the people in the manor and wants to try out what he has learned from you.”

“The servants reported that someone nearby had bought some Hu slaves, so I wanted to go and see.”

Zhao Lang could only give a bitter laugh after hearing this, he didn’t know what to say about Qin Lao either.

In order to study the art of medicine, one could say that he was possessed.

But without this kind of vigour, it was estimated that the other party’s medical skills would not be so high.

But since Elder Qin was so persistent, it could only be to buy Hu slaves.

“It’s just that, I’ll go with you.”

After saying that, Zhao Lang turned his horse around and let Wang Cai lead the way, going to his death they also followed in droves.

As they walked along the road, they looked at the busy figures in the fields on both sides.

Zhao Lang casually asked.

“Mr. Huang, they have already started ploughing?”

Wang Cai returned that

“Well, Mr. Huang started making arrangements as soon as he arrived at the farm, he said that Liaodong is on the cold side, and now there is still a chance to grab a season to plant.”

Zhao Lang turned his head to Go Die and said.

“After that pick out some stragglers and slaves with good bases and families and you can start training them.”

“Use whatever method to motivate them, you figure it out yourself.”

Go to hell nodded seriously and returned, and

“Yes, Master of the House.”

Looking at the vast land and walking and talking along the way, Zhao Lang’s mood opened up a lot.

Soon, he arrived at the place Wang Cai had mentioned.

A modest manor house with a few people guarding the entrance, their faces quite impatient, as if there was some urgent matter.

When they saw Zhao Lang and the others, the other party immediately looked over with some nervousness.

Wangcai went straight up to them and said that

“A few people, is your master here, we are here to buy Hu people slaves.”

One of the opponents froze slightly and

“Hu-man slaves, we don’t have any slaves here.”

Wangcai said, frowning.

“That’s not right, the servants on my farm clearly saw you bring in men in carts.”

“I asked you casually, you said it yourselves, it was the Hu people slaves that were transported.”

The other party was at a loss as to what to say, when an old man in the shape of a merchant came out and said, smilingly

“Gentlemen, I’m really sorry,”

“The new fellow is not sure, we do have Hu slaves, it’s just that they have all been booked.”

Wang Cai said with regret at once, the

“They’re all booked, so we’ll have to go to the city to buy them.”

Hearing this, the old merchant smiled and said that

“I don’t know which of the few of you are from the bank? I will go and speak to you then if I have a slave.”

Wang Cai pointed in the direction of the stately home and said that

“It’s the Zhao family’s estate.”

Hearing the name, the old man jolted, although he immediately hid the

“Then next time a slave is available, we will be sure to inform you.”

Wangcai nodded and turned to Zhao Lang, saying

“My lord, it looks like we’ll just have to go to the county town to have a look.”

Zhao Lang looked at the old man thoughtfully, nodded his head and led the men away.

When Zhao Lang and the others had left, the old man’s face changed and he whispered to

“I’ve actually been approached by a fat sheep!”

Looking up at the door, the old man frowned and asked that

“Has the runaway huckster been found?”

A few of the men at the door shook their heads with ugly faces, and one of them said that

“Boss, the Hu people are savage by nature and difficult to tame, this time the Duke rested him…”

“Shut up! The decision of Gong Zi Xie is also for you to discuss?”

The shopkeeper shouted and rebuked.

“Send more men, we must find that Hu! Don’t wait for him to cause any trouble!”

Several men returned at once and

“Yes!”

Then they hurriedly left.

On the road, Zhao Lang was thinking back to the old man’s strange appearance and asked

“Wangcai, how is the situation around the area, how is the investigation going?”

Wangcai returned and

“Your Excellency, the surrounding area of the manor has been generally clarified, they are all official gentry’s manors.”

“There’s nothing wrong.”

Zhao Lang nodded his head and

“How’s it going in the city?”

Wangcai smiled as he spoke to

“My lord, I have also sent people inside the city, so I can now know some news about the market.”

“Oh yes, the biggest news in the county right now is that the famous gentry in the city, who is also a member of the Zhao family, is getting married in a few days!”

“I heard that there will be a big banquet, and all the famous officials and gentry around, will be there!”

“When the time comes, it will definitely be very lively.”

Zhao Lang’s eyes lit up at once and he said that

“Tell me more about it.”

Wang Cai was about to say, when suddenly, a cry for help came from not far away, and

“Help!”

Zhao Lang raised his eyes and looked over, and found a woman running through the fields, while a large man with a full beard followed behind her.
