At this time, there were only Lin Mo and Zhao Heng in the room, and Zhao Heng no longer hid it, and said: "Although this time the matter is hidden, I am afraid that it will not be able to hide from Lord Fu Yin, you have to think about how to deal with it." ”

Lin Mo smiled: "I don't plan to hide it from them, I will explain this matter clearly, by the way, you can prepare some official salt for me." ”

He Ren asked with a surprised face, "What do you want salt for?" Lin Mo said: "Naturally, I went to explain to Lord Fu Yin what was going on, lest Lord Fu Yin really think that I was trafficking in illicit salt." ”

When it came to private salt, He Ren seemed to think of something and said: "There is a problem with the private salt on this ship. Then he lowered his voice and said: "That salt doesn't seem to be perfect, he should not have known about it, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately written that letter to lead people to the docks, and Wanquan may have wanted to lead Fu Yin to other ships, and he could be put on a position and shoot himself in the foot." ”

Lin Mo looked at Wanquan, and then said seriously: "You can't tell anyone what He Ren said, otherwise it will lead to a fire, since this matter is already the result, let's follow this result, as for what private salt is not private salt, we don't know." ”

When He Ren heard this, he felt that Lin Mo should know something secret, but Lin Mo was reluctant to reveal it, He Ren knew that it was for his own good, so he didn't ask more. He Ren then took out a letter written by Liu Xin'er, Liu Xin'er returned to Lin Mo's grandfather, and then wrote a letter to Lin Mo about her grandfather's situation, saying that her grandfather just accidentally slipped into a bone while walking, and there was something wrong with it, and he only needed to recuperate for a period of time, which was no big deal, so that Lin Mo was relieved, and asked Lin Mo about his situation, and asked Lin Mo to quickly reply a letter to her, so that she could rest assured.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter, and his heart also settled down, but he was still very concerned about his grandfather and wanted to go back to see him as soon as possible, but Lin Mo knew that he couldn't go back now, after all, he still had a lot of things to deal with on his side, especially to prepare for the upcoming government exam.

Grandpa has always hoped that he will be famous and glorious in the exam, and he must participate in this government examination, so he can't let grandpa and Wu Wenyan down. Lin Mo then wrote a reply letter and asked He Ren to send someone to Liu Xin'er to inform her about this incident, so that she didn't have to worry, and she would go back to see her and her grandfather after taking the government exam.

The two chatted for a while, Lin Mo went to Du Shaofu with a small bag of salt, and He Ren went back to the study to pick up a pen and write on the paper. Soon after, two letters were sent from Yunzhou, one by water to He's house, and the other went straight to Qiannan.

Lin Mo came to Du Shaofu's house with a small bag of salt, and as soon as the porter heard that it was Lin Mo, he hurriedly led Lin Mo to meet him, this Du Shaofu already knew that Lin Mo would come, so he ordered the porter to bring Lin Mo directly in advance.

Lin Mo followed the porter to the hall, at this time Du Shaofu was chatting with Meng Wenzhao, and when he saw Lin Mo, he smiled and said: "Haha, you really came, just now the official talked about you with Lord Meng, and Lord Meng still doesn't believe it." ”

Meng Wenzhao smiled and said, "Lin Mo, what are you doing here this time?" Why do you still bring things? Come and thank Lord Xie for betraying you? Lin Mo said respectfully: "Lord Xie Fu Yin is fair and strict, and he also returns the innocence of the students. Du Shaofu waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about these vain, you say I'm fair and strict?" In fact, this time this official is indeed unfair, your sin is not so easy to wash away. ”

Lin Mo nodded, he knew that Du Shaofu was right, his plan was actually full of loopholes, and the most fatal point was why Lin Mo expected that there was private salt on the ship

, Although Lin Mo didn't say it explicitly, Du Shaofu was not stupid, he was led by Lin Mo's nose and naturally knew it, and he understood this matter as soon as he scrutinized it, but Du Shaofu didn't dig deeper, this is actually covering himself, Du Shaofu is an upright official, such a punishment obviously makes him go against his heart, he must make it clear, otherwise he will definitely have a gap with himself.

At this moment, a hurried voice came from outside the hall: "Lord Du, this is still suspicious of Lin Mo." ”

The three of them saw that it was Wu Wenyan, Lin Mo hurriedly stepped forward to greet Wu Wenyan, Wu Wenyan looked at Lin Mo, his eyes were full of blame, he should blame Lin Mo for why he didn't say hello and came over directly, he woke up and heard that Lin Mo went to Du Mansion Yin was very anxious, for fear that Lin Mo would say the wrong thing.

Lin Mo led Du Shaofu's nose this time, Du Shaofu must be a little unhappy in his heart, if Lin Mo made some mistakes in his words, Du Shaofu's impression of Lin Mo would inevitably deteriorate, which is likely to affect Lin Mo's future, after all, in this Yunzhou, Du Shaofu still can't be easily offended, even if Du Shaofu doesn't care about Lin Mo, but it's better to be cautious about things in this officialdom.

Du Shaofu and Meng Wenzhao got up and said, "Brother Wu didn't expect you to come too." ”

Wu Wenyan arched his hand and said: "If you don't come, you can't do it, my student has made a disaster, and my husband naturally has to come out to help, if Lin Mo does something wrong and says something wrong, the two adults should not take it to heart." ”

"Where is it, Lin Mo is so steady and intelligent, how could he say the wrong thing, I still want to hear Lin Mo speak, there are still many things I don't understand this time." Du Shaofu said with a smile, and then the three of them immediately looked at each other and smiled, sat down separately, and then looked at Lin Mo, Lin Mo also began to say the words in his heart.

Lin Mo first told him in detail about his entanglement with Wanquan, and the three of them were very surprised when they heard it, they didn't expect Lin Mo and Wanquan to have this kind of relationship, which can be described as a deep grudge, no wonder Wanquan would target Lin Mo, and even kill Lin Mo.

Meng Wenzhao sighed and said, "I can't imagine that this Wanquan seems to be honest and loyal on the surface, but behind the scenes, it is so vicious." "Wan Quan has intersections with various officials, Meng Wenzhao is naturally no exception, Wan Quan often personally sends food to Meng's mansion, on the surface, Wan Quan does not look like a vicious person, but things are very surprising.

Then Lin Mo continued: "If you want to use this private salt to frame me and completely defeat me, I will plan and put private salt in his shop and boat, and use this private salt to let him eat the consequences." Then Du Shaofu frowned and said, "Lin Mo, where did you get this salt?" ”

As soon as Lin Mo heard it, he knew that the biggest doubt in Du Shaofu's heart was this private salt, so he smiled and said: "My lord, this is a serious official salt, not a private salt." ”

Meng Wenzhao and Du Shaofu were a little surprised, Meng Wenzhao said: "But I see that the salt you put into Wanquanpu and on the ship is indeed private salt, and after the official salt is transported to the various state capitals, some other spices or herbs will be added, and it can be identified at once. ”

After hearing this, Lin Mo smiled and opened the bag he brought, the bag was full of salt, and it contained a little other impurities, Lin Mo smiled: "I just use this official salt to turn him into crystal clear private salt through my way, please come with me to the kitchen."

Know. ”

The three of them were very puzzled, but they all followed Lin Mo to the kitchen, Lin Mo poured salt into the bucket, then poured hot water into the bucket, and then wrapped the mouth of the bucket with a cloth, then poured out the water in the bucket, filtered out the impurities with a cloth, and repeated several times until there were no granular impurities, and then poured the poured water into the pot, and finally boiled the water dry with high heat, and finally left a thick layer of crystalline objects at the bottom of the pot, which is the common salt.

Looking at this crystal clear salt, Du Shaofu and the three of them suddenly realized, it turned out that what Lin Mo said was true, this salt was indeed made by Lin Mo with official salt, Du Shaofu's doubts about Lin Mo in his heart were also dispelled, and finally smiled: "Lin Mo, you are really a strange person, where did you get this salt-making method, so magical?" ”

Lin Mo said with a smile: "I found this thing by accident, how can I worry about the small skills of carving insects, and the adults praised it." Du Shaofu then said: "Your method is of great use, it is worth a thousand gold, you don't have to talk about this method to others." Lin Mo nodded, this thing is not very unusual for himself to be a simple filter distillation, but it is of great significance to people like Du Shaofu.

Now the salt is not only divided into official salt and private salt, but also divided into two kinds of white salt and black salt, white salt is white salt, official salt is basically white salt, and most of the official salt is well salt, lake salt, this salt itself is very clean, does not need a complex treatment process to eat, the cleaner the salt, the more expensive, and even according to the origin and the cleanliness of the salt to divide the quality, this commonly used green salt is one of the relatively good ones.

Black salt is dirty salt, such as mineral salt and earth salt, mineral salt is easy to understand, this salt is as large as ore, but it is very difficult to mine and very unclean, but it is still edible. Soil salt is the salt smelted in the saline-alkali land, which is not only dirty but also eats the dead.

The reason why they eat dead people is because the salt they generally eat is sodium chloride, and most of the salt in saline-alkali land is inorganic salt, which is carbonate. Most of the private salt is often sold privately, but there is a considerable extent of these black salts, of course, rich people will naturally buy white salt, black salt can not be eaten for a long time after all, otherwise it is easy to have an accident.

Although black salt is also private salt, but for these black salt, the government is not very active, mainly because after all, there are still a minority, the reason why this kind of salt is not even willing to be smuggled is not contaminated, after all, the price is very low, there are not many people who buy it, and no one is willing to sell it if it is unprofitable.

Du Shaofu looked at Lin Mo's method, and felt that this method could be used on mineral salt to turn stones into gold, so that these black salts could also become white salt, Lin Mo was naturally aware of Du Shaofu's intentions, but it didn't matter, although this method could allow Lin Mo to make huge profits, but Lin Mo knew that if he made too much money, he would definitely be noticed, and then he would inevitably be co-opted and attacked by all forces, and at that time Lin Mo would really be lacking in skills, and this salt was the lifeblood of the dynasty, bringing so many taxes to the court every year, Unless he wants to die quickly, he thinks about digging the corners of the entire court, and if he really does this, he will ask the pit to make lanterns to find death.
