The reason why the Blackwater Wharf is called Blackwater Wharf is that in winter, there will be a touch of heat and dark brown impurities on the lake.
But except for the Blackwater Wharf, there is no such phenomenon in other places, so when ordinary people wash their clothes in winter, they just need to walk far away to avoid it.
After all, if those black impurities are stained on the clothes, they can't be washed off. Their poor family has two clothes like this all year round, and they can't bear to get dirty.
While a group of wives and wives were doing laundry and a young man was fishing, a man stood on the blackwater pier and shouted!
"Young master from a rich family is going to hire someone to work! As long as you have the strength and the tools to do farm work, both men and women can be hired for half taels of silver a day, come quickly!"
His shouts echoed on the lake and spread far and wide. Everyone couldn't help but look up. Although they felt that the other party might be lying, after all, they were just doing some work, so how could it be worth half a tael? But there are still many people who are idle and have nothing to do running over to join in the fun, and after a while, a large number of people gathered at the pier!
Xie Linlang was sitting on the black steed. At this time, she had already taken off her cloak, revealing the moon-white robe inside.
In the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, everyone was wearing thick and swollen clothes, but she, who seemed not to be afraid of the cold at all, was wearing a long gown.
The robe embroidered with brocade patterns blew in the wind, making her even more handsome and unparalleled. She was holding a whip and pointing at everyone.
"Everyone stand up! Divide into three groups and listen to my arrangement!"
Her voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by everyone present. At first, everyone thought it was a lie, but seeing her so dazzling and publicity, they were instantly convinced, and they all bowed their heads to do it.
Seeing that the people gathered were very obedient, Xie Linlang nodded with satisfaction, and then took the reins and walked to the first group of people.
"You group of people are out! From where I stand to the pier, dig down in a row! As long as you work for an hour, you will have half a grain of silver!"
The group of people didn't know why, so they held the tools and didn't move, but Xie Linlang had already walked to the next location and was humane to the second group.
"You line up from here, and you dig to the pier. The requirements are the same, and so is the bounty."
Immediately afterwards, she walked to the last spot and said to the third group of people, "You dig this line, start right away, everyone, whoever digs out the black spring water first, I will reward you with 10 taels of gold! And you..."
She looked at the person who shouted for her before and said, "And you are responsible for supervising! Once the black spring is dug up, it will be introduced into the river immediately. If you can make the black spring spread all over this black river, then everyone, I will Twelve taels of silver will be rewarded!"
After she finished speaking, she threw a money bag directly into the man's hand.
The middle-aged man was frightened by Xie Linlang's words. After he received the purse, he opened it tremblingly. For a while, the real money inside caught everyone's eyes!
All of a sudden, all kinds of puffing sounds came out frequently, Xie Linlang saw everyone staring at the money bag in a daze, the whip in his hand raised, and it hit the boulder on the side with a "pop"!
The boulder was smashed to pieces! The sound of the explosion made everyone come back to their senses, and when they saw the fate of the boulder, their eyes instantly became terrified when they looked at Xie Linlang!
"Hurry up and dig it up! This young master has a lot of words! But if someone is dishonest, it's like this stone!"
Her voice made everyone jump! They quickly picked up the guy in their hands and started digging honestly.
The person holding the money bag over there only felt that his feet were going to soften. He trembled as he walked to Xie Linlang's side and asked in a trembling voice.
"Sir, what if you can't dig out the black spring water..."
Xie Linlang heard the words, looked at the black water wharf that overflows with black water every year, and said in a deep voice.
"There will be. In the future, this place will definitely become the treasure land of our Xiangcheng!"

On the other side, Lian Ke's boat was about to arrive at Chang'an Wharf. On the Wangjiang Building next to Chang'an Wharf, the imperial envoy was holding a teacup, frowning at the river water outside the window, and asked suddenly.
"Whose ships are those ships? Are there so many cargo ships in Xiangcheng?"
The county magistrate Tao, who was careful to accompany him, said quickly, "That's... that's the ship of the Zongjiang Commercial Bank. Their owner is the Imperial Merchant. This time, they're here to transport tin."
Xiangcheng had a tin workshop, and the imperial envoy didn't care. After all, he had seen so many mining workshops, and naturally he didn't like the appearance of this surnamed Tao who used a tin workshop as a cash cow.
He had no intention of interfering in this matter, anyway, it would be Xie Linlang's responsibility to take care of this Xiangcheng.
Thinking about it, he asked again, "Didn't you say that Xie Linlang and the others would arrive by water? Why are they still missing?"
Tao county magistrate felt his chubby belly and thought, that Xie might be dead, but he said with a smile on his face.
"He should be here soon, right? Soon..."

The cargo ship was moving very slowly, and after Qin Jue suddenly broke the strings, he stopped playing.
Lian Ke originally enjoyed listening to it, but a broken string is not a good sign. He frowned, reached out to his subordinates, and asked in a deep voice.
"Where are you going?"
The subordinate replied, "Sir, you are about to arrive at Chang'an Pier. After Chang'an and an hour ahead, you will be able to arrive at Hongsha Valley."
Lian Ke made a sound of "um". He knew very well that as long as he got into the water, even if there were chasing soldiers, he wouldn't be able to help him, but why was he a little uneasy
correct! He knows what's wrong! They openly assassinated the imperial palace and kidnapped another person. Even if Xie Linlang didn't see who he kidnapped, he shouldn't just let it go!
It's so quiet, there's not a single chasing soldier now, what the hell is she doing
Lian Ke thought about sitting up, but soon, he stared at Qin Jue and sneered.
"... It seems that Xie Linlang doesn't know you at all. You have been invited by me for so long, and she hasn't found out that the people around her are wrong. She hasn't seen you for so many years. Her sensitivity is really far worse than before!"
Qin Jue didn't care at first, but after listening to the other party's meaning, she actually knew the former Xie Linlang
"Have you seen her before?"
Listening to Qin Jue's question, Lian Ke suddenly burst out laughing!
"Yes, of course! She almost killed me back then! It's a pity... She didn't kill me back then. If there is a chance in the future, I will make her regret it!"
His words carried a strong murderous aura, which made Qin Jue's eyes suddenly turn cold.
But soon he laughed. After the Red Sand Valley, this person will not have another chance.
Lian Ke didn't notice Qin Jue's eyes. After drinking a lot of wine, he seemed to be completely immersed in his memories.
Back then, the scene of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood made him terrified, but now, just thinking about it makes him tremble and excited!
I saw him staring at the ground, his pupils flickering, and he said frantically.
"Xie Linlang... Xie Linlang really looks better as she grows... Do you know? My brother fell in love with her back then, so he was dug up and died... Haha, hahaha! If I have the chance, I must fulfill my brother's last wish! Xie Linlang! Her taste must be amazing!"
Hearing a "bang", Qin Jue suddenly stood up, and the guqin in front of him was knocked over!
Lian Ke suddenly looked at him with his eyes like electricity, and before he could speak, there was an urgent report from his subordinates outside.
"Report! My lord! Someone intercepted the road on the lake!!"
