Seeing the two people looking lost, Wei Yi showed a smile and said,

"Master Xie, according to the covenant between us, you must provide craftsmen for our lord."

"You are already a powerful person here, so I have to leave this matter to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xie's expression changed slightly and he looked away from Princess Yushu's face.

Wei Yi asked,

"Master, what else do you want? But it doesn't matter."

Zhao Xie forced out a smile and said,

"No, but haven't we already sent nearly a hundred craftsmen? Why does the king still need craftsmen?"

"Young master, you don't know what to do."

Wei Dun immediately said,

"In the land of Goguryeo, the natives are stupid and difficult to educate, and it is extremely difficult to train local craftsmen."

"Although Tyrant Qin has not taken any action recently, you and I both know that with the character of the tyrant, how could he let me go?"

"So, the king has been strengthening the city's defenses and building defenses, which requires a lot of craftsmen."

Zhao Xie also nodded with deep sympathy,

"The tyrant is greedy and refuses to let go of the land of Baiyue, so how can he let Goguryeo depend on it?"

"I'm afraid that after Zhao Tuo pacifies Baiyue, they will attack Goguryeo."

Wei Yi said,

"exactly."

"Also, by transferring the craftsmen here, Bao Qin can build the Great Wall slower. With the Huns and barbarians on one side, Bao Qin doesn't dare to force me to wait too much."

Although Zhao Xie was a little surprised that Wei Yi had such an opinion, he still nodded.

"In this case, I will gather the craftsmen here and give it to the king."

Wei Dun was overjoyed.

"Great kindness!"

A few people were chatting and laughing, and after the banquet was over, Wei Yi took Princess Yushu away.

Zhao Xie glanced at Zhao Jie next to him and said coldly,

"The person has left."

Only then did Zhao Jie come back to his senses, looked at Zhao Xie and said,

"Brother, give me this Princess Yushu!"

A chill flashed through Zhao Xie's eyes and he said,

"This is a marriage between the Zhao and Yan families. Do you think it's child's play?"

"If you don't know the seriousness this time, you will cause a big mess just like last time! I will call for help!"

When Zhao Jie mentioned what happened last time, his face turned red and he said,

"Brother, don't you already know this? I was drugged last time!"

Zhao Xie said coldly,

"If I hadn't known that you were drugged, would I still have let you here?"

"In the future, if you look at your sister-in-law like this again, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhao Jie returned with a dissatisfied look on his face,

"I see."

Zhao Xie frowned and said,

"The two Scar brothers were killed, and all the slaves were rescued by the female snitch. What should we explain to each other?"

"Have you found out who it is?"

Zhao Jie pouted and said,

"I've been with you all the time, how could I know."

Zhao Xie frowned and said,

"Did you offend someone again?"

Zhao Jie lowered his head and said nothing, but there was a bit of ruthlessness on his face.

Zhao Xie wanted to reprimand the other party, but at this time a guard walked in and reported,

"Young master, rest, my subordinates have gone to the other teams that captured slaves yesterday and asked them about it."

"Say it!"

"The person calling here calls himself Xianyang Zhao Lang."

"Xianyang Zhao Lang?"

Zhao Xie was stunned.

Of course he remembered Zhao Lang, the owner of the wealthy farm, who was accepted as a disciple by the leader of Confucianism.

But why did he appear here?

"Have you found out the identity and location of the other party? And where is the female snitch?"

Zhao Xie frowned and said,

"Zhao Lang's information was not found. After the other party killed the people, he left simply."

The guard returned,

"We already have some clues about the female snitch. She should be from a farmer's family. Recently, there are rumors about the White Lotus Saint among the farmers."

"farmhouse?"

Zhao Xie was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Jie on the side gritted his teeth and said,

"Isn't it just that I took them 10,000 taels of gold? I will kill that stinky bitch sooner or later!"

"Shut up!"

Zhao Xie shouted and scolded directly,

"Do you want to have a deadly feud with the farmer? Get out of here!"

Zhao Jie left angrily. Zhao Xie was so angry that he covered his forehead, and then said to the guard,

"Look for other slave traders to cooperate again. This time we need to find a few more. We need to capture more craftsmen."

"I also need to find a way to communicate with the female snitch. Just say that I want to talk to her in person. Everything will be easy to discuss."

The guard immediately took the order and left.

After everyone left, Zhao Xie sighed tiredly.

The entire Zhao family is now almost supported by him alone, which is really difficult.

"The marriage between Zhao and Yan cannot go wrong, and the transactions with the Hu people cannot be stopped. I don't know what will happen to the salt field."

Just then, a servant came to report,

"Sir, the officials from the salt field want to see you."

Zhao Xie was shocked and said,

"please come in!"

Soon, the clerk who had dealt with Zhao Lang during the day appeared in front of Zhao Xie.

"Sir, a young businessman has been sent over. I have already told him."

"If we can't hand over one thousand kilograms of coarse salt this month, the salt field will be handed over to others."

The clerk said with a smile.

"Thank you very much. I won't treat you badly after everything is done."

Zhao Xie laughed and said that one thousand kilograms of coarse salt is not much, but naturally he would not let the other party produce it.

"Uncle Shou, take the officials to rest."

When the clerk heard this title, he nodded with satisfaction, handed a document to Zhao Xie, and said,

"This is the merchant's document. Please take a look at it and return it to me tomorrow."

Then he followed Shou Bo outside the door and left.

Watching the petty officials leave, Zhao Xie's eyes flashed with coldness. He would definitely deal with these corrupt officials who cooperated with him in the end.

Opening the document and looking at the name on it, Zhao Xie was stunned.

"Zhao Lang?"

This is the second time I heard this name today.

Zhao Xie narrowed his eyes slightly,

"Whether you are him or not, standing in front of me will lead to death!"

In fact, deep down in his heart, he even hoped that the other party was that Zhao Lang.

"If you die, that stubborn old man, I might still have a chance."

Having made up his mind, Zhao Xie shouted,

"Someone is coming!"

A guard appeared at the door.

"Early tomorrow morning, send an urgent message to the people at the beach to let them do it if the salt farm starts producing salt!"

The guards took the order and left.

Early the next morning.

Inside the saltworks, busy figures of slaves appeared. They were cleaning the site and preparing to start work.

Zhao Lang watched from a high ground. He had decided to wait for the site to be cleared and start making salt using a division of labor and assembly line method.

This is efficient and does not reveal your method of making salt.

The task of one thousand kilograms of coarse salt can be completed quickly.

After finishing this, he can go back to Zhuangzi, plant potatoes, recruit people, and save strength for the next thing!

"This task seems a bit easy."

Zhao Lang thought silently.

He didn't notice that the two salt farm stewards had quietly hid in the dilapidated house.
Chapter completed!
