When he earns 120 yuan, he will take out the manufacturing method of grilled fish fillets and the secret recipe of the sauce, and hand them all over to the village and let Cao Erbo take care of them. ”

Cao Lizheng's brows stretched out, and said, "How can this be done, the secret recipe is Da Lang's, how can we ask for it?" All you need to do is take the villagers to do it. ”

Ye Ren smiled, this is willing to build a workshop, he said sincerely: "Second Uncle Cao, you know, our four brothers are really inconvenient to come out to do things, and a recipe for grilling fish fillets is nothing."

We are also very happy to let the people in the village have something to do during the slack time, to make a little money, and to make life better. ”

"Cheng, then bring the people in the village to do it, and if you make money in the future, you will share forty percent."

Cao Lizheng understood in his heart that there are many fish in the south and sheep in the north, but they are basically not worth a few dollars.

The grilled fish fillet that Ye Ren took was different, the taste was so good, it was almost addictive, if it was not meaningful in front of Ye Xipo, Cao Li really wanted to eat another slice.

Cao Li is convinced that this grilled fish fillet will be loved by the rich and even the nobles, and it will definitely be sold at a good price and make money.

"It's said that it's for the people in the village to make a little money, how can we divide it into 40%?" Ye Ren smiled and shook his head again, after Xindao Saburo was ignited by the old ancestor, he could really pinch it, and even counted it.

"A certain imagination is that after the money is really earned, in addition to the wages of the people who do the work, half of the remaining money will be left in the village account, which is shared by all and used to expand consumption; buy things for the elderly and children in the village during the New Year's holidays; Or for building walls and roads.

The other half is evenly distributed to each household according to the number of people, and those with more people will be divided more, and those with fewer people will be given less. Our four brothers are the same as the rest of the villagers. ”

At noon the next day, Ye Wei returned, and with him was Feng Yuanying, the third son of Feng Ziyou, the assassin of Gaozhou, that is, the third uncle of Erlang Ye Zuo.

When Ye Xipo arrived in Gaozhou, Feng Ziyou was worried about the increase in taxes to be paid by the imperial court this year, and his hair was half white.

Feng and Xian are both indigenous powers in Lingnan, Feng is a Han Chinese, and the ancestor is a member of the Northern Yan royal family during the Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms period, who took refuge in Lingnan; The Xian clan is a local slang clan, leading 100,000 households and tens of thousands of slang soldiers in Lingnan, a real powerful faction.

Since the beginning of the marriage between the two families when Mrs. Xian was married, to Feng An's time, with the assistance of the Xian family, the power of the Feng family simply spread all over Lingnan, and at its peak, Feng An's eleven sons were hereditary assassins in Lingnan states.

These eleven states are all in the nature of a feudal state, with complete and autonomous administrative powers, financial powers, personnel rights, and military powers, and extremely low taxes.

After the Tang Dynasty developed Lingnan, the power of the Tang Dynasty government entered Lingnan from time to time, and the power of the Feng and Xian clans was squeezed from time to time and moved west to the south.

The eleven fetters were cut again and again by the Tang Dynasty, and now there are only five left, namely Gaozhou, Panzhou, Yazhou, Danzhou, and Zhenzhou.

Ya, Dan, and Zhen are all far away on Hainan Island, so Gaozhou and Panzhou are the next two purposes of the imperial court.

However, the other states were relocated, and many local slang people migrated to the remaining five states, with a population of about 18,000 households in Gaozhou, and 15,000 slang people; There are 19,000 households in Panzhou and 16,000 slang households.

The two states together have more than 10,000 standing slang soldiers, and can mobilize 50,000 or 60,000 troops, so the imperial court did not dare to directly change the land of Gaozhou and Panzhou for the time being, but asked the two states to pay eighty percent of the taxes according to the household registration, which gradually weakened the strength of the two states.

Eighty percent of the tax sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is very difficult for Gaozhou and Panzhou to pay fifty percent of the tax.

Gaozhou and Panzhou are too poor, and the main population of the two states is still mostly a tribal system, and the scientific, technological, cultural, and consumption power is not comparable with that of the Han people in the Central Plains.

Half of them live in the mountains, and they live by fishing and hunting; Half of them farm under the mountain, and the farming technology is also very rough, and they don't know how to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, reel silk and weave cloth, and they have a lot less income than the Han people.

Although the two states only pay 50% of the tax, the army must be supported by themselves, and the officials must also pay their own salaries; In other states and counties that pay full taxes, these fees are paid by the imperial court.

Therefore, Gaozhou and Panzhou used to do their best to pay 50% of the tax, and they basically couldn't do it!

The imperial court was obviously determined to make it difficult to make problems, Feng Ziyou had the heart to fight, but he felt that his strength was not enough, so he couldn't make this decision.

Then Ye Wei came, and brought such exciting news.

With just a very simple method, you can use one pound of sea salt to consume refined salt that is better than the high-grade green salt.

Can this be believed?

"Can you really make twenty pounds of refined salt?"

Feng Yuanying grabbed Ye Xipo's arm tightly and asked in a trembling voice.

"Of course it's true, uncle, can you let go of my arm first."

Ye Xipo looked at Feng Yuanying's blood-red eyes, his eyes were full of hope and fear, as long as he dared to say a word, maybe he would be beaten to death, so he hurriedly said.

Feng Yuanying let go of Ye Xipo's arm meaninglessly, Ye Xipo rubbed his somewhat red and swollen arm, speechless in his heart, just making salt, as for being so impulsive? When I come up with the sugar method again, you still have to go crazy?

Ye Ren pulled him to the kitchen, pointed to a large jar of refined salt and said, "Naturally, it's true, we saw it with our own eyes, this is the refined salt we made yesterday." ”

Feng Yuanying hurriedly picked some with her fingernails and put them in her mouth, although her face twitched, her face turned into a flower with a smile.

"If there is really no peculiar smell, it is better than green salt, how is this made?"

"It's very simple, I'll show you, uncle, this is an ordinary sea salt bought in Zailai Town yesterday......"

Under Feng Yuanying's wide-eyed gaze, Ye Xipo poured these sea salts into the kettle, added water to dissolve them, and then added charcoal minced into it the size of soybeans, and stirred it with a wooden stick.

When the water began to steam, Ye Xipo dipped his fingers in some salt water to taste, there was no peculiar smell, stopped stirring, and asked people to filter the solution in the kettle with four layers of fine linen and funnels, and the linen cloth was full of black charcoal particles.

If it is twice, wash the iron kettle clean, pour in the filtered clear brine solution and continue to heat, Ye Xipo took a spoon and scooped it for Feng Yuanying to taste, and then said: "That's it, continue to boil, you can boil out the crystal white, without a little miscellaneous taste of refined salt." ”

Feng Yuanying tasted it, and it was really pure salty, without a little bitter miscellaneous taste, and there was no fishy smell of seawater.

Although he saw it with his own eyes, he was still a little incredulous, and asked with a face full of incredulity, "It's that simple?" ”
