Chapter 6 10,000 catties of salt per day

Cheng Chumo, who was excited, decided to set this place as a salt mining field after consulting Tao Ran's opinion.

Immediately sent two personal soldiers to quickly inform General Zuo Wuwei of the news of the success of salt making, and at the same time brought away the refined salt that Tao Ran had just boiled, of course, it was indispensable to explain the matter of asking for credit for Tao Ran.

Since the salt quarry was to be set up here, large-scale repairs were indispensable.

Except for Tao Ran who was resting on the carriage and lying next to a rhubarb, everyone else joined in the great cause of building a salt quarry.

Because of the refined salt for lunch, even Zhang He became generous, and dug a spoonful of salt and put it into the big iron pot for stir-frying, which meant to turn over and be the master from now on.

"His grandmother's, you are so wasteful with a little salt at the beginning, see if Lao Tzu doesn't beat your ass." Cheng Chumo scolded at Zhang He with a smile.

In fact, his heart was also happy, and the days without salt in the past few years were finally over.

I thought of my father's constant walking around the barracks in the middle of the night, mixed with sighs and sighs.

Cheng Chumo's heart was very uncomfortable, he knew that his father was a distressed soldier, and over the years, his old man and the soldiers had not eaten refined salt for a long time. The former mighty and majestic, red-faced general has now begun to lose weight day by day.

Looking at the busy scene of everyone in front of him, Cheng Chumo was very happy, such a pleasant scene had not appeared in him, a boy who was only sixteen years old, for a long time.

I had just eaten a salty lunch with everyone when I heard a familiar voice in the distance.

"Cheng Tieniu, you are eating the best refined salt here, and your mouth is full of oil, have you forgotten me, an old guy?"

Cheng Chumo trembled and almost dropped the bowl in his hand to the ground.

He could never have imagined that his majestic old father would come in person.

Cheng Chumo pulled the hand of Tao Ran, who was still immersed in eating, and hurriedly greeted his father.

"Lanzhou Captain Cheng Chumo, I met with General Zuo Wuwei, I didn't know that the general was coming, and the last general could not greet him in person, please forgive the general." Cheng Chu silently and respectfully knelt down on one knee and saluted. Tao Ran also hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Get out of the way for Lao Tzu, don't put gold on your face, Lao Tzu will come to meet you in person?" After speaking, he walked quickly to Tao Ran, took Tao Ran's hand and said, "Hard work, little boy, the old man has been in an urgent hurry for eight hundred miles to ask His Majesty the Emperor for your credit, you have solved a big problem for the old man." ”

"Haha, haha, haha, haha, the old man hasn't been so happy for a long time, today I saw the salt brought by the soldiers, the old man is happier than when he had an iron bull, and he is happy to be a father, little boy, you have merit to my Tang Dynasty, to my Longyou army, to my Longyou people, no matter how the emperor rewards you, you should be."

Cheng Chu was so embarrassed that he almost couldn't raise his head, and now he seriously doubted whether he was born to Lao Cheng.

"Uncle, you are serious, the kid just did what a Tang people should do, not as sacred as you said. The general is the real hero of the Tang Dynasty, the hero of the famous family, as long as the general is in the army for a day, my Datang land will be able to keep peace forever. ”

Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. Tao Ran's words opened up the joy of Cheng Yanjin's words.

patted Tao Ran's shoulder affectionately, "Good posterity, the future is terrifying." ”

The big palm of the fan almost slapped Tao Ran down.

"Tie Niu, learn more from Brother Tao Gongzi in the future, don't embarrass me all day long."

Cheng Chumo's heart is bitter, who am I provoking someone, and I was shot while lying down.

"Little boy, I brought you a thousand men and horses, and you can see how much refined salt these people can produce per day."

"Uncle Cheng, don't say a little boy, a little boy, I sound awkward, I and Brother Chu Mo say to each other, you can just call me a nephew."

"Good, good, good," the treacherous and cunning Cheng Biting Jin called three good words in a row. His stupid son, he didn't expect to do a great deed, and it was a great blessing for his stupid boy to be able to become a brother with the young man in front of him.

"Uncle, this river beach is a natural high-quality salt farm, conservatively estimated that each person produces ten catties of refined salt per day, and the 1,000 soldiers brought by my uncle can produce 10,000 catties of salt every day." Tao Ran said calmly.

"A good daily output of 10,000 catties of salt, Lanzhou Lieutenant Cheng silently obeyed the order."

Cheng Chumo, who originally thought that he had nothing to do, suddenly heard his name and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Captain Lanzhou, this general orders you to be responsible for delivering 10,000 catties of salt to the Lanzhou Army every day from tomorrow, and there must be no mistake in transporting 100,000 catties of refined salt to the Lanzhou military camp within ten days, otherwise the military law will wait."

"The last general will be ordered to ensure the completion of the task." Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said.

Since he saw Tao Ran refining salt with his own eyes, he has been convinced of Tao Ran's words, and now don't say that Tao Ran said that he can produce 10,000 catties per day, that is, 100,000 catties per day, he also believes it.

Next, according to Tao Ran's instructions, Cheng Chumo divided the 1,000 soldiers into 50 groups, with 20 people for each group, and a certain distance was opened between the groups, which was convenient for the boiling and mining of salt.

"Virtuous nephew, I heard that you came out of the grassland, and then met our grain and grass officer on the official road."

"Uncle Mingcha, my nephew did come from the grassland, fortunately I met Brother Zhang He, Brother Zhang He was kind to me, I was willing to sacrifice the method of salt making, so I was able to meet Brother Chu Mo, and there is a scene of building a salt field today." Tao Ranla gave Zhang He a homely gesture, after all, Zhang He was the first person he saw in this world, and it can be regarded as a kind of fate.

Helping others is helping yourself, and in the future, in this era of outstanding people, you must manage your own snobbery early.

"Where is Zhang He, come and see the old man quickly."

Cheng Biting Jin is a human spirit who has lived for most of his life, and as soon as Tao Ran opened his mouth, he immediately heard one, two, three, four, five.

"Humble Zhang He, see the general."

Facing a general with a particularly powerful aura for the first time, Zhang He was obviously short of breath, and his legs trembling slightly when he knelt on the ground.

"Get up and speak." Cheng Yanjin saw the unbearability in Tao Ran's eyes, and said to Zhang He gently.

"The general tells you to get up and speak, so you can get up." Tao Ran pulled up Zhang He, who was still in a state of confusion, with both hands.

"Zhang He, you are now a team leader, but your contribution this time is huge, the old man decided to promote you to three levels in a row, and go to Lanzhou Lieutenant to be a thousand-commander."

Zhang He couldn't believe his ears, he pinched his face hard, and there was pain.

"Why are you still standing stupidly, why don't you thank the general quickly." Tao Ran quietly pulled the corner of Zhang He's clothes, who was already scared, and said.

"Thank you for the promotion of the general, my subordinates must swear to follow the general to the death, and have repaid the general's kindness."

In fact, Zhang He is like a mirror in his heart, he can have today, it is completely the blessing brought by Tao Ran's little son, and now he can only hide everything in his heart, and when he has the opportunity in the future, he will repay the kindness of his son.
