In fact, Emperor Liu Kai of Liang really thought wrong at the beginning.

Several people from the Mo clan are not Mo Shu who have passed through rebirth, and the grace of heaven is unpredictable, and they have long understood. Therefore, after experiencing the catastrophe of Jing'an for eight years, although there was some resentment in his heart, because of the deep-rooted idea of loyalty and patriotism, even if he suffered during exile or in the teaching department, he did not have the intention of rebelling.

On the contrary, because Emperor Liu Kai of Liang rehabilitated the Mo clan in Lingbei, changed the charges, and released them, the Yang family still remembered their kindness in their hearts.

Even if he stayed in Chang'an, he had no complaints.

However, because of Mo Yun's re-imprisonment; For the sake of her brother, Mo Shu gave Concubine Yang to Wu Ziheng, and she suffered all the ridicule of the world; The side branch snatched the position of patriarch again, and removed Mo Shu from the family tree. After such a case, the Yang family was forced internally and externally, and they were almost desperate.

The rabbit is anxious and bites.

How can the Mo family not rebel?

But the Yang family knew that it was just her and the Bai family's two female streamers, and Mo Yun and Mo Chuan did not have the power in their families, and now they could not fight the Liu family, so they could only save themselves first, but they would never sit idly by.

Especially the Bai family was also born in a family, after the accident of the Mo family in Lingbei, although Fan Yang Bai wrote a letter to intercede, the first emperor still connected the Mo family's descendants, Bai knew that the emperor was determined to cure the Mo family's crimes, she took the initiative to cut off contact with the family in order not to implicate the foreign family.

But in the past few years, the Bai family has also secretly taken care of the Mo family from time to time, especially the Bai family.

The Bai family made up their minds that for the sake of their son, they couldn't really cut off contact with their family.

In the villa, Mo Shu listened to the general course of the matter, and also guessed what the elders of the Mo clan, Mo Zhihai, Emperor Liu Kai of Liang, and the nouveau riche of the family would think. She nodded: "I know, you go back and tell your mother, I'm fine, it's fine." The third brother doesn't have to be the patriarch, and he is not so tired, let the mother and the second aunt want to open some, and it will always get better in the future. ”

Seeing that Bi Luo wanted to speak and stopped, Mo Shu waved her hand and said, "There is no need to say words of comfort, you have been here for a long time, and it is time to go back." ”

Mo Shu was the only one left in the room, and she knelt on the mat, stunned.

The summer cicadas are still tirelessly chirping, busy looking for mates to multiply; The lush green trees shimmer in the sunlight.

When Xiao Jing came in, he saw that Mo Shu was still in a daze, and said in a complicated mood: "Today, the twelve princes came over and kept clamoring to see you, but the guards finally sent him away." ”

Hearing this, Mo Shu turned her head, looked at Xiao Jing and asked, "Aren't there any salt pans or salt wells near Chang'an?" ”

In ancient China, some people knew how to boil salt very early.

How can the price of salt in Daliang be so expensive now, that even the poorer people can hardly afford to buy salt, and some even don't have much salt to eat for several months?

Although some people in ancient Huaxia knew how to boil salt for a long time, the price remained high for a long time, because the government understood that salt was indispensable to the people's lives, so it strictly controlled and controlled the use of salt to control commerce, and even implemented a monopoly on salt and iron, and the salt tax collected was high.

As a result, the officials saw the huge profits of the salt merchants, and they resorted to various means, and the price of salt soared, harming the people.

However, Mo Shu remembered that the salt of Daliang could be trafficked by the people, and only a part of the salt tax was charged, so why was the salt so expensive and less?

Xiao Jing was a little strange why Mo Shu suddenly asked this, but remembering that she used salt relatively quickly, she understood in her heart, shook her head and said: "Without salt fields, there is only a salt pond in Hedong, otherwise salt will be so expensive, and poor families can't afford it." Sister Mo, what is Shiojing? ”

Although Mo Shu had guessed it from the memories in the dream of her previous life, she was still surprised.

It turns out that it is expensive because of the small production?

In his previous life, in order to write, Mo Chaoyuan had carefully studied the ancient method of boiling salt, and when he went to Tianfu to play, he also went to Yanjing for a field investigation.

In the ancient Chinese period of the previous life, it seems that salt wells have been dug far away in the Warring States, but I didn't expect that the girder was not there yet?

Thinking about it this way, I don't know how to dry salt by the sea, so it's no wonder that the yield is low.

The yield is low, but the demand for salt is not great, and everyone needs to eat salt, and in addition to human food, it is necessary to raise livestock, especially war horses. Daliang is prosperous in martial arts, fighting for many years, raising hundreds of thousands of horses every year, if people and horses have no salt to eat, then there is no way to fight.

And so on, raising cattle and sheep also need salt, but they can be fed less. Salt is also used in medicine, and it is a high-quality refined salt.

In addition, there are also sacrifices made with salt.

There are so many places that need to use salt, and there is little salt production in the beams, especially in the inland of Chang'an, there is no sea salt, and no one knows how to dig wells to draw brine to make salt.

Chang'an eats salt by relying on the salt pond in Hedong and the seaside from afar, plus the salt tax, no wonder the price of salt is so expensive!

Nowadays, the people of Daliang are so poor, and there are naturally few people in the inland who can afford to eat good salt.

It is said that even those along the coast will lack salt to eat.

Mo Shu remembered a poem: Those who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders.

However, since the price of salt in Daliang is high, and she can let the merchant cook salt and sell it freely, if she can get the salt, wouldn't she be rich?! Mo Shu suddenly became excited. And then she was sad again, although she knew how to make salt, but there was no salt mine nearby, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, what could she do?

Xiao Jing saw that Mo Shu was in a daze, her expression was still changing, as if she hadn't heard her words, and patiently repeated it next to her, asking, "Sister Mo, what is Yanjing?" Salt-producing wells? ”

Thinking of the well that would flow salt, Xiao Jing looked at Mo Shu with bright eyes.

Seeing this, Mo Shu smiled slightly, nodded affirmatively, and said, "Yes, it is a well that produces salt." Take out the brine from the salt well, and then boil it in a pot to dry, and there will be white flower salt. ”

Xiao Jing listened attentively and yearned: "Is there really such a well?" I've seen white salt in the doctor's medicine box before, and it's so beautiful! In fact, there is also a black spring near our mountain village, but it is bitter and astringent, and people who have a little knowledge in the village used to say that it tastes like the sea water in the east, so they use it to boil, but the water is dry, and the things left in the pot are quite like salt, bitter and salty......"

When Mo Shu heard this, she asked in surprise, "Where is this spring?" Since Zhuangzi has such a natural salt spring, how can he eat salt so frugally? ”

Xiao Jing waved his hand again and again, and said in frustration: "That's poisonous salt, you can't eat it!" In the past, some people in Zhuangzi could not afford to buy salt, so they used the spring water there to boil salt for use, and died after eating it for a few days...... Later, the prince gave some salt to each family, and forbade everyone to eat what was boiled from the spring water. ”

Now Moshu understood.

It is very likely that what Xiaojing said is a salt spring, that is, a natural salt well, but this salt brine is impure, and it is mixed with other impurities, so it is directly boiled and dried and cannot be eaten.

Mo Shu got up and pulled Xiao Jing out and said, "You take me to have a look, I think the black spring water you are talking about should be a salt well, maybe I can remove the poison in the brine and fry the fine and white salt." ”

White salt is equal to silver in white flowers!

If it's really a natural salt spring, it's all money! As long as Mo Shu thought about it, she felt that her heart was beating a little faster.
