Datang: In order to be a salted fish, I decided to look forward to my father Jackie Chan

Chapter 117
"Okay, that's right, then I'll leave this place to you!"

The old deaf man went back to the room after he finished speaking, and was busy with himself, leaving Li Xiao and the four of them staring at each other.

"This is the end? Won't you tell me?"

"My lord, what are you giving me? I still owe money on the account. The supplies are the dilapidated houses in front of me, and there is a pile of rotten wood in the workshop in the distance!"

"Then you have to give me the account, otherwise how can I pay back the money?"

He Guan stood still, watching Li Xiao without saying a word for a long time, paying back the money?Where did the money come from, and what did you pay for it?
"My lord, you don't really want to pay back the money, do you?"

Li Xiao smiled, "I don't pay back the money, what am I doing here, to appreciate these sagebrush?"

He Guan replied incredulously, "Gaomi Mansion has an account book on file. As for the account book in the shipyard, it has been lost long ago!"

Li Xiao asked He Guan to take him on a tour of the dock. Withered and yellow wormwood was everywhere, all the houses were dilapidated, only some stone pillars remained in several workshops, and even the stones in some places had been pried away!

The pier of the dock also needs to be repaired before it can be used, the whole is a dilapidated scene!

"Ugh!"

Seeing Li Xiao sigh, He Guan said, "My lord, after looking around, do you feel that paying back the money is not worth it? There is no shipbuilding here anymore, it is completely useless!"

"Do you know all the people in the dock before?"

"Of course, there were hundreds of people in the past, and they ate and lived together every day. How could anyone not know each other?"

"At noon tomorrow, gather the people from the former dock, and I'll settle the wages on the spot!"

"You, you are not joking, are you? If I call people here and you don't show up, or if you show up and you have no money like before, I will be stripped alive by them!"

"Of course I'm not joking, who is in the mood to tease you, a gentleman!" Li Xiao replied seriously.

"Do you know how much money the shipyard owes to the villagers? You have no hair on your mouth, so you can't do things well! If you talk up and down, it's useless to give people hope!"

"How much silver do you owe?"

He Guan thought for a while, before someone organized everyone to go to Lizheng in the village to ask for money, but Lizheng returned the county magistrate, and the county magistrate legged the dock, but there was no result. Approximate amount, "I'm not sure how much I owe! But it must not be less than 3000 taels of silver!"

He Guan really doubted whether the words of this black-faced young man were reliable or not.

Li Xiao chuckled, "It's only 3000 taels, what a joke!"

He Guan smiled contemptuously, "3000 taels, just pay it back? The toad yawned so loudly!"

"Do you know how much 3000 taels are? Let me tell you, 3000 taels can crush you to death!"

Lao Gao has always been displeased with this pirate's disrespect to his boss. If Li Xiao hadn't stopped him a few times, he would have already started to attack him.

He Guanben was tied behind his hands and kicked over.

"Boy, keep your mouth clean. If it weren't for our lord's generosity, you would have reported to Lord Hades long ago!" Lao Gao was still angry after scolding, and kicked He Guan in the face again!
He Guan only found out at this time that this young man is not only an official, but also looks like a high-ranking official, but why did he bring so few people?
Isn't this beating for nothing?
You said that if you go out with gongs and drums, the bastards will greet you, and I will hide from a distance. As for lying on the ground and being beaten like now?

Li Xiao said softly, "Lao Gao, untie him!"

This is not a big crime at all, being a pirate is going to Goguryeo to rob, forget it, let him go! "At noon tomorrow, tell them to wait here!"

"Money, I have a lot of money!"

"At most, you're just going for nothing. What if I really make it happen?"

"So, if you don't suffer, it depends on whether you come or not."

"Don't come, after passing this village, there will be no such shop, and next time I won't be so easy to talk to!"

In the afternoon of that day, Li Xiao sent someone to Gaomi with his seal and imperial edict to handle the handover and get back the ledger!
At Li Xiao's request, Cheng Yaojin began to make tools, hoes, rakes and various utensils for making salt fields.

The next day, He Guan still brought all the people on time. Li Xiao was right. There were hundreds of people like him, and at most it was a waste of time, but what if he really got the money?

Although the new year has just passed, the cold wind is still blowing from time to time. It is also good to add some clothes to the children and the elderly at home!

"Xiao Guanzi, is the official you mentioned really planning to give money?"

"Don't fool us! Could it be that what we did in Goguryeo was discovered, and the government wants to catch us all?"

"Damn it, don't talk nonsense! I'm so scared, I didn't kill and set fire in Goguryeo!"

"Brother, when no one settled our wages before, everyone was devastated all day long. Now that someone comes to pay us, why do you doubt it?"

He Guan said harshly, but immediately left a way out for himself, "The big deal is to be cheated again, anyway, staying at home in winter can't do anything!"

The people in this circle are their fake pirate team!

"I said Aunt Hua, are you here alone today?"

"It's not bad, Wazi and his father went fishing again, life must go downhill, right? What's going on today?"

The person chatting immediately interrupted, "Aunt Hua, if you really want to send money, your man is not here, are you worthy of paying the bill?"

"Hey, the shipyard owes my family nine pennies, that's how much, can I resist going back? Your family has quite a lot, twelve pennies, right? What's the matter, is your wife up late, or is she lazy? This matter requires you to be a big man, besides, this is not an uncertain thing, why didn't you go to sea, life is just too much."

"That's right, Aunt Hua, He Guan said something well yesterday, why don't I come and see the situation?"

Aunt Hua immediately took the lead, "I see that many old men in the village have come. If our village is taken over by those big-headed soldiers from Banqiao Town, what will happen? If I want to talk non-stop, it is Li When Xiao and Cheng Yaojin went to the fishing village of Yanchang, they met that aunt, and there were about a hundred households in that village in the circle they were in.

There are men and women, old and young!
The rest of the hundred or so households were all chatting in whispers, some looked expectant, some cursed and dismissed it!At noon, Li Xiao was riding a horse with a group of soldiers carrying heavy boxes.

Li Xiao found a big rock and stood on it.

"Everyone, let's not talk much, let's solve what you are most concerned about first, and send money!"

"Really hair?"

"Should I send it all, or part of it!"

"It's really true, it seems that today's visit was not in vain!"
