Chapter 278 No one disturbs me, so I get married~
Although Huang Shisan ran away, the seven robbers were caught.
According to their confessions, they were paid three hundred taels of silver and were instructed by their employer Jin Zhu to ambush Lu Yao and others.
According to Feng Dynasty law, the murderer and the one who hired someone to kill were equally guilty.
Jinzhu's father was still waiting for good news in Baihua Tower, but he didn't expect that what he got was a yamen runner.
"I am innocent!" Jinzhu's father cried out.
"You are not innocent." Lu Yao personally helped to arrest Jin Zhu in Baihua Tower. "Even if you didn't hire someone to kill me, the crimes you have committed are enough for you to die a hundred times!"
The crimes committed in Baihualou, those men and women who were tortured to death, have no victims to file a complaint, and even if they did, they would not be able to bring the case down. For many years, the brothel owner Jinzhu has been at large.
Based on her daily observations and Jiang Yulang's past experiences, Lu Yao had long wanted to eradicate evil places like Baihua Tower.
This is a good opportunity to take over Baihua Tower in one fell swoop!
Because it was Lu Yao who filed the complaint, the county magistrate attached great importance to this case.
Not only did they carefully examine the case of Jin Zhu hiring a killer to murder Lu Yao and others, but based on Lu Yao's revelation, they also examined past cases in which Jin Zhu had forced and tortured the brothers and sisters in the building.
Each of these crimes is punishable by death, and with the accumulation of multiple crimes, Jin Zhu will be executed in the autumn.
Those backers hiding behind Jinzhu saw that Jinzhu was doomed and that the victim Lu Yao seemed to have an extraordinary background.
No one would come forward at this time, so everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb and distanced themselves from Baihua Tower.
Baihua Tower collapsed just like that.
According to court law, Baihua Tower and its assets were confiscated, and the indentures of the men and women inside were all invalidated.
After receiving a resettlement fee, they were free.
But it seems like there is no freedom.
Most of them were of low status, and even if they went abroad, it would be difficult for them to survive.
Although some guys and girls left Baihua Tower, they turned around and joined other brothels and continued their old business.
Jiang Yulang had been following the developments of Baihua Tower, and was very disappointed to see this ending:
"Did we waste our efforts? We tried to rescue them, but they just moved to another place."
Lu Yao comforted him, "This kind of thing is a product of the times, and we can't change the times now.
However, we did our best and at least gave them a chance to choose. "
As for how they choose, Lu Yao has no influence on it.
"Although some still choose to be brothers and sisters, there are also some who go far away and start over, right!"
After all, some people were saved.
What made Lu Yao most satisfied was that after solving the problem of Baihua Tower, Jiang Yulang was completely freed.
With Ping'an County as the center, within a radius of 100 miles, Jin Zhu, the only unruly person who wanted to harm Lu Yao, was doomed.
From then on, Lu Yao entered a peaceful period.
No one disturbed her, no one dared to harm her, and Zhou Chengxi's various supports also arrived one after another.
Lu Yao said: No one is disturbing me, so I'm going to get married~~
How long will it take to prepare?
Haha, it definitely won’t work this year.
Lu Yao didn't want to let any of her husbands down, so she had made up her mind to prepare everything before the husbands came in!
This has been a busy and fulfilling experience.
After Lu Yao's workshop was built, it immediately went into production.
The first things chosen to be manufactured were soap, cement, and glass.
These three items are worthy of being the must-have three-piece set for time travelers.
Once it was launched on the market, it was extremely popular among people.
Soap is a cleaning product. With it, daily laundry, hand washing, face washing and bathing become much more convenient, bringing great convenience and improvement to people's lives and health.
Cement is a building material and its advent is quite popular.
Because of Fengchao's special marriage system, every household had too many people and housing conditions were tight.
Once we have cement, we have cement concrete.
With the addition of steel bars and combined with traditional building materials such as wood and cement, more and more three- and four-story buildings appeared in Ping'an County.
The buildings are like townhouses, which greatly alleviates the housing shortage problem of the people.
There were those who had plenty of money and bought professional architectural blueprints from a company called “Golden Finger Point Company” and were able to build that small building to the height of a six-story building!
Moreover, the large carved windows were no longer covered with thin oil paper, but the latest material: glass.
Light-transmitting, sound-proof, wind-proof and cold-proof.
The window paper of the past can't be compared at all!
As for the price, it doesn't seem unacceptable.
Those who are wealthy can customize glass windows for the entire house, while those with less money can start by replacing the windows in the bedroom with glass ones.
With glass windows, the house will not be so cold in winter, people will suffer less, and charcoal can be saved. It is money well spent.
In fact, not only glass, but also soap, cement and so on, although they are all new things, they were not too expensive at the beginning.
This is all thanks to the encyclopedia.
Because it can directly provide the best technology and solutions, eliminating the stage where the technology is immature, it not only saves various resources, but also greatly improves the success rate and production efficiency.
All new things produced, whether it is soap, cement, glass, or even many new things in the future, as long as the raw materials are not expensive, the products will not be too expensive.
The price is affordable, so it will become popular very quickly.
In less than a year, new things such as soap and glass spread rapidly in all directions with Ping'an County as the center.
If you want products, there’s Jiang Yulang.
If you want sales, there is Lu Yao.
If you need channels, there are Song Yanyi and the Song family.
If you need support, we have Zhou Chengxi.
The lives of the people in Feng Dynasty were changing quietly, and Lu Yao's savings were also expanding rapidly.
In the first year of opening the workshop to produce encyclopedias, Zhou Chengxi recovered all of his investment of 20,000 taels of silver.
At the end of the second year, Zhou Chengxi received a profit of 180,000 taels.
Year 3
Ahem, that’s all in the future. It’s only the third year now.
It is still unknown how much money Zhou Chengxi will get this year, but Lu Yao knows that she is going to get married this year.
Today, because she owns the strongest workshop in Feng Dynasty, her wealth and status are much higher than before.
Giving a dowry to her husband was just a drizzle for her.
As for the wedding house, the previous small building will be used as the headquarters of Kenji.
The original Gold Finger office on the first floor and the dormitory where the sisters lived were also converted into restaurants open to the public.
The rooms upstairs became offices and dormitories for some of the employees.
Lu Yao took all the furniture and furnishings that Song Yanyi and the Song family had given her and moved them to a newly built three-story luxurious mansion above the workshop, which covered a total area of more than 1,000 square meters.
With such a big house as a wedding house, it should be okay to marry three husbands, right?
The material conditions are sufficient!
As for the issue of family background?
Xie Jingran and the other three were willing to marry Lu Yao when she was still a commoner, so naturally they didn't care about her identity.
But with Lu Yao's planning and strong support, after the annual examination last year, Lu Liuya and Lu Hua both passed the exam and became scholars.
The Lu family's door lintel was successfully replaced.
At this point, everything is ready, except for the marriage.
