61. Sea salt

"Make money?" Xin Ping and Mi Zhu looked at Han Fei with strange expressions. The heart spoke: If we are not as good as you in terms of strategy or something, how can we ask you to teach you to make money!

"Yes, it's just to make money! Lots of money! Han Fei said calmly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Mi Zhu listened to Han Fei's seriousness, so he followed and said, "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Han Fei said with a smile: "I will have a method of drying salt, you can take salt from the sea, its salt is as white as snow, and there are no impurities!" I wonder if this is a big business, can it make a lot of money? ”

"Zicong, is this salt really as you said?" Xin Ping hurriedly asked.

"Yes, it does!"

Xin Ping and Mi Zhu glanced at each other, and Xin Ping said: "If Zicong is really like this, my Xin family is willing to join in a share!" ”

"My Mi family too!"

"Okay, then let's work together! But the profits will be divided into four parts, I want thirty percent, two percent for the two of you, and the remaining thirty percent will be given to the lord. Han Fei looked at the two and said.

"Okay, my Mi family has no objection!"

"So is my Xin family."

"That's the best, after I return to Qingzhou, I'll go to Donglai City to find a location outside the city to build a pond to dry sea salt. When the time comes, I will need the two of you to send someone to help me. ”

"Zicong rest assured, my Mi family also has some business in Qingzhou, and the people of Qingzhou are all sent by you!" Mi Zhu said generously.

Xin Ping also said that the people of the Xin family can also be called at will. In this way, the three of them talked and laughed and agreed on this business. Then Han Fei said that he needed to take the families of the lord and the generals to Changyi City, and Changyi would be the capital of Liu Bei's group in the future.

Xin Ping listened and nodded yes. So with his help, in just three days, Han Fei gathered all these family members, and then under the escort of a thousand soldiers sent by Guan Yu, he drove to Changyi City.

Because of the large number of family members, the journey was very slow, and they walked for seven days to arrive after a three-day journey. At this time, the appearance of Changyi City has changed greatly, and the outer city has been built in a circle, with two residential areas, the east and west market squares and the north and south. In the end, Liu Bei still followed Han Fei's suggestion, and did not build a city wall on the outermost periphery, but only symbolically built a circle of stone walls about one zhang high, and there were no city gates on all sides.

Han Fei and his entourage were all lighting up this strange city, but looking at a group of people who were working hard, people were unconsciously full of vitality, like the newly rising sun in the morning. Yes, this is a vibrant city!

Passing through the outer city, after the city wall, you will come to the inner city, unlike the outer city, most of the buildings in the inner city are all repaired, including Liu Bei's state governor's mansion. Located in the middle of the inner city, the Prefecture Governor's Mansion was formed by the merger of the former Taishou Mansion and the Imperial Palace.

After handing over the rest of the family to Sun Qian, Han Fei escorted Mrs. Gan and Liu Bei's concubine surnamed Xin to the state governor's mansion. Mrs. Gan and the others naturally went to the back house when they entered the mansion, while Han Fei walked quickly to Liu Bei's study to meet Liu Bei.

"Zicong, you can be regarded as back!" As soon as Liu Bei saw Han Fei, he said to him happily.

"Lord, is everything okay in Qingzhou?"

"Yes, with Yuan Hao and Fu Zhu here, Qingzhou is quite stable for the time being." Liu Bei said with a smile, "Zicong, you have worked hard all the way, why don't you go back to rest quickly, do you have something important to come to see me in a hurry?" ”

Han Fei nodded and explained his salt drying plan, and finally said to Liu Bei: "Lord, according to my estimate, the profit of this sea salt is extremely high, and there are hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. ”

"So much?" Liu Bei said in surprise. "In that case, it's better to implement it quickly!"

"Yes, my lord, tomorrow I will take people to Donglai City to find a suitable place to build a salt pond." Han Fei said.

"Otherwise, Zicong, you will rest for two days and then go, pay attention to rest when you go out so often!"

"Thank you for your concern, but my body is fine, so I don't need to rest!" After Han Fei finished speaking, Liu Bei nodded and let him go!

came back like this and only stayed for one day, and the next day, Han Fei rushed to Donglai City with the people of the Mi family and the Xin family! This Donglai city is located in the easternmost part of Qingzhou. Han Fei and his entourage came to the outside of the city in the dust, and it took three days to turn around.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and they really found an excellent place, which was near Yantai in later generations, which was very remote at this time, and there was not even a fishing village. However, there is a huge reef beach by the sea, which is the perfect place for salt drying.

The first step in this salt drying is to build salt pans. The salt pan is generally divided into two parts: the evaporation pond and the crystallization pond. First, the seawater is introduced into the evaporation pool, and when the water is evaporated to a certain extent by the sun, it is poured into the crystallization pool and continued to be exposed to the sun, and the seawater will become a saturated solution of salt, and the salt will gradually precipitate out after drying. The crystals obtained at this point are our common coarse salts. Even this coarse salt is the best salt at this time!

With the principle in his memory, Han Fei and the instructors finally built the first simple salt pan in two days. Then it's time to introduce seawater into the evaporation pond and crystallization pond step by step! Han Fei wanted to stay and wait for the first wave of salt to be produced, but Jia Xu sent someone to deliver a piece of news, so he had to hurry back to Changyi City!

What was the news that made Han Fei rush back in such a hurry, it turned out that Dong Zhuo was dead! It was his godson Lu Bulu Fengxian, whom he relied on so much, who killed him! The news was transmitted by Jian Yong, and he went to the court to write for Liu Bei, but as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, there was such a big change.

At this time, Chang'an City was already under martial law. All personnel can go out and not enter, in order to clear all the remnants of Dong Zhuo's party. Fortunately, a shadow was arranged in Chang'an City at that time, otherwise Jian Yong and his party would really be unable to move an inch. This will Jian Yong and his party have been taken by the shadow people to live in a hidden restaurant, where he can only quietly wait for the end of the turmoil.

Dong Zhuo's death seems to be accidental, but it is actually inevitable. Since returning to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo has begun to enjoy himself and no longer cares about anything else. Even his generals and troops didn't care. Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo was already not ambitious, and sighed in his heart, and gradually reduced the number of times he came to visit.

At this time, Situ Wang Yun, who had been forbearing, made a move. A beauty trick was used, and Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo both hit the trick. Because the beauty made the two turn against each other, in the end, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo at the instigation of Wang Yun.

Dong Zhuo was about to die, and all his generals went their separate ways, and Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew occupied Wancheng. Li Dao, Guo Yan and others retreated to Tianshui City with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but they have been planning a counterattack on Chang'an, killing Lu Bu and Wang Yun to avenge Dong Zhuo!
