After having a meal at Liu Bei's house, Liu Yi went back to the government affairs hall, although he could not go back, but that was not good, Xi Zhicai and they were still working hard to deal with government affairs, Liu Yi didn't want to be a maverick, especially when everyone was working hard, you went out to wave by yourself, it was too hateful, so Liu Yi returned to the government affairs hall, and sat in his position under the gaze of Xi Zhicai and Jian Yong.

"Don't look at me, hurry up and deal with government affairs, so many things haven't been done", Liu Yi smiled awkwardly, watching the drama Zhicai and the two of them kept staring at themselves, a little embarrassed.

"Ziang, we want to eat meat tomorrow", Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

Liu Yi always felt that the laughter of the two of them was fake, a dangerous atmosphere, Liu Yi decided to take a look and meet their wishes, even if there was not much meat at home, it was his month's grain storage, the official position had just been sealed, and there was actually not much money, Liu Yi is now using the property left by his father to maintain his life, it seems that the matter of making salt must be prepared, maybe he can get some oil and water, otherwise he will really have to eat soil.

"Hehe, okay, eat meat tomorrow, I told Uncle Zhou to prepare wine and food, and eat it in the evening", Liu Yi knew that the meat at home would not be saved, so he decisively agreed to Xi Zhicai's proposal.

Xi Zhicai's eyes revealed that you kid is on the road, I will forgive you this time, bowed his head and began to deal with government affairs, Jian Yong also nodded with satisfaction, and looked forward to eating Liu Yi again tomorrow, maybe it was a sense of revenge satisfaction at work.

Liu Yi had a bitter face, lying on the table in despair, today is just the beginning of the month, is the small jerky at home about to be robbed, then this month, he is holding steamed buns in both hands, looking at the boiled boiled vegetables without a little meat on the table, gnawing on the steamed buns and shedding tears of remorse, it is difficult to swallow Liu Yi shook his head vigorously, no, that kind of situation is absolutely not allowed to happen, the big deal is to go to Liu Bei's to eat when the time comes.

Liu Bei's daily life is actually not rich, the grain and grass in exchange are public, and they do not belong to Liu Yi and them, so Liu Bei can usually take some, after all, he is the boss, Liu Yi and others did not have an official position last month, basically living on their own income, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei They are fine, and they can use the supply of the army, so Liu Bei's people are very poor, thrifty, mainly because there is no stable source of income, and there is no place to scavenge in Qingzhou, and the people are poor and eat soil. So generally speaking, you can eat meat a few times a month, Xi Zhicai and Jian Yong are ready to destroy the meat that Liu Yi's family bought at the beginning of the month this time, Liu Yi knows that this is actually nothing, and when the time comes, he just can't eat meat in a big gulp, and if he really wants to eat it, he can also rub the rice, it is a miserable scene of fantasy.

"Zhicai, we are a bit miserable, we have to become a prince of one party, how can we have fish and meat every day", after Liu Yi recovered, he got up and began to deal with government affairs, so he chatted with them if it was really boring.

"Can Qingzhou be compared with other princes, there is no family and no wealthy family, where to make money, and big fish and meat, dream about it", Xi Zhicai glanced up at Liu Yi and continued to do his own thing, Qingzhou has a good side and a bad side, there is no family in Qingzhou, which means that Qingzhou is the master of Liu Bei's family, highly centralized, there will be no conflict of rights, poor soldiers and martial arts are very suitable for the development of the army, but the bad thing is that there is no family to do things, there is no conflict of interest, and money is naturally impossible to create out of nothing, They can only live with their buckles, after all, they have not yet achieved self-sufficiency.

"Who said I can't, I have a method of making salt, after this period of investigation, I think I can cooperate with Zizhong to do things, when the time comes, I will take one point, Zizhong will take four points, and the rest will be used for development, it would be better if Zizhong could take refuge in us, his money is our money, and there is no need to give him that part", Liu Yi said and said a little floating, wanting to get the family property of the Mi family, but this was the case during the Three Kingdoms period, merchants belonged to a very low class, and they generally looked for princes all the way to take refuge, give money and food, Mix a rich and noble, as long as the person who takes refuge is not too wolf-hearted, basically he can have a good result, Mi Zhu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms took refuge in Liu Bei early, and the family property was used for Liu Bei's development, and in the end he was made a marquis, even if his younger brother betrayed Liu Bei and took refuge in Jiangdong, Liu Bei did not punish him.

"Ziang, what did you just say", Xi Zhicai and Jian Yong both put down the things in their hands, looked at Liu Yi and said, a little unbelievable what they heard.

"I said that I want to cooperate with Zizhong to make salt and sell it, now the family is almost unable to open the pot, a bunch of people want to raise, Zizhong is a good person, and the Mi family also has channels to sell, and it is estimated that it can make a lot of money", Liu Yi deliberately pretended to be casual when he said that he couldn't open the pot at home.

"You know how to make salt, Zi Ang Mo is joking, this is not a trivial matter", Xi Zhi saw the cunning in Liu Yi's eyes, and completely ignored Liu Yi's hint to protest that they would go to eat meat tomorrow.

"Forget it, I won't tease you, the method of making salt is indeed in my hands, and there is no problem if there is no accident", Liu Yi also lost the interest in playing, shrugged his shoulders and said, it is indeed not an accident, it will definitely be made, seawater salt is very common in later generations, but Liu Yi has not tried it, the principle is still clear, and he does not dare to say it very much.

The reason why seawater can dry out salt is because seawater contains sodium chloride components, evaporation crystals, saturated solution will precipitate sodium chloride crystals, that is, the so-called salt, at least it is also a university degree, these simple knowledge has not been returned to the teacher.

"You can really make salt, why didn't you say it earlier, it's a pity that those books are short", Xi Zhicai said distressedly, salt is still very rare, there is a way to make salt, you can use salt to exchange for grain and grass, that's ten books, maybe there is some important art of war in it.

"Zhicai is greedy, making salt is not something that can come out in a day or two, and we don't have the conditions at that time, if it weren't for Zizhong's reliability, I wouldn't take it out now, you won't understand the truth that the husband is not guilty of his guilt, and we have the strength to take Qingzhou, so that these things can be guarded", Liu Yi has always been very careful, since he Lu Zhi was imprisoned because of his carelessness, Liu Yi has corrected his attitude, even if he is familiar with history, a slight deviation may make them doomed, Liu Yi can't be careless.

"What Ziang said is, I attach too much importance to Shujian, since there is a method of making salt, let's go to Zizhong, the reputation of the Mi family is still good, and we also want to see how to make salt", Xi Zhicai is now in no mood to continue to work, if he really masters the technology of making salt, let alone a Qingzhou, plus Xuzhou can also be raised, he is very clear about how expensive the salt he sells in these years, basically it is to grab money, others are willing to buy it, because very little salt can flow out, when the people eat, I also put rock salt to make the dish a little salty, rock salt is the kind of stone with a salty taste, even this is difficult.

"Okay, then I'll go find Zizhong now", Liu Yi agreed without hesitation, Jian Yong also followed silently, as for the government affairs on the table, they handled it in the end anyway, and it was not bad that on this day, Liu Yi and the three of them came out of the government affairs hall with a rare piece.

"Zizhong should be at home, now the displaced people are... It's all appeased, and he doesn't... There's nothing to do", Jian Yong said, feeling a little cold when he left the government affairs hall, and he shivered from the cold. , it's not easy to speak.

"It's very likely to be at home, let's go to his house to find it, it's too cold outside", Liu Yi also clearly felt the arrival of winter after leaving the government affairs hall, and there would be heating or something in the future, so now he can only burn the fire to keep warm.

Walking to Mi Zhu's door, he really stayed at home, and asked his subordinates to report, and Liu Yi and the others were taken into the house.

"Ziang, why are you here on such a cold day, drink hot tea and warm up", Mi Zhu saw Liu Yi and the three of them coming at the same time, knowing that something must be wrong, so he didn't rush to ask, let Liu Yi and them sit down and drink some tea and warm up, thinking about what was going on.

After a while, the chill was dispelled, and Liu Yi felt much warmer and ready to get down to business.

"Zizhong, I came to you this time to discuss something with you, I have a method of making salt in my hands, and I want to cooperate with you to make salt and sell it, how to share the profits, I don't know if you are interested", Liu Yi put down the teacup and said with a smile, he believes that the Mi family, as a wealthy businessman, will not let go of the opportunity to strengthen himself.

"Ziang, what you said is that you can make salt", Mi Zhu was convinced again, the Mi family has always wanted to develop the salt industry, but without that technology, they really can't grab others.

"That's right, it's salt making, and it's refined salt, which is several times better than these shoddy salts on the market", Liu Yi said confidently, since he decided to cooperate with Mi Zhu, he showed his strength, Liu Yi also inquired about the current salt making, which is simply boiling seawater, making coarse salt, and the technology of drying salt in seawater has not yet been developed.

"Really give the technology to the Mi family, does Ziang trust me so much", Mi Zhu is a little confused, if he learns the salt-making technology and runs away, where will Liu Yi find him, and dare to hand over the salt-making technology to him after getting along for a month, should it be said that it is worthy of Liu Ziang?

"I believe in Zizhong's personality, and I also believe that Zizhong can see the potential of Xuande Gong, Qingzhou is a good place, sooner or later we will compete with the people of the world, I don't believe that Zizhong will give up glory and wealth because of the profit of salt production", Liu Yi said with a smile, reaching the level of the Mi family, basically don't pay much attention to money, what is valued is another thing.
