Yuan Tiangang continued to explain to himself: "The imperial court has decreed that the salt and iron industries are all prohibited items under military management!"

Therefore, ordinary people are not allowed to make their own salt and sell salt privately, and violators will be severely punished!

Due to the problem of salt production technology, the output of salt production today is quite low, and it cannot supply the needs of all the people, which leads to the fact that this good salt is the property of the nobles! ”

"In this way, Senior Brother is also a first-class magnate!

Haha, I didn't expect you, an old Taoist, to mix well! Bai Fan laughed.

"Senior brother, don't laugh at it!

It's just a mouthful of mixed rice! Along the way, the hardships are not enough for outsiders either!

The old way is just relying on a little craftsmanship and receiving royal rewards, where is the power!

Observing the face of the younger brother for the younger brother, he will definitely be a rich and noble person in the future, much better than the elder brother! Recalling his family history, Yuan Laodao couldn't help but be a little distracted!

"With the auspicious words of the senior brother, the younger brother also wants to get rid of this bitter life of hunger and fullness as soon as possible!" Bai Fan said with a sad face!

"Hahahaha! The junior brother is really funny!

However, this salt is a great thing, even if you give it to your brother as a gift, your brother will not dare to accept it!

If you really have the skills to make snow salt, then Brother Wei can present it to the court on your behalf, so that you will definitely be able to exchange it for a piece of fame and wealth!

It's just that the junior brother is really confident? ”

"So that the senior brother can know that the younger brother is not the one who talks about the river, and the younger brother's method of making salt is really simple and convenient!

Not only is the yield exceptionally high, but the quality is excellent! It is also suitable for a variety of places, such as being able to make good salt from toxic salt wells and salt mines! You can also get an inexhaustible supply of fine salt from the sea.

With this method, if the court is attentive, within three years, the people of the world will no longer be able to afford to eat salt, and the likes of green salt and vinegar cloth can only exist in the history books! Bai Fan said confidently!

Good!

Yuan Tiangang clapped his hands and shouted!

"If the junior brother can really do this, it will be really immeasurable!

In this way, without further ado, you immediately return to the Taoist temple with me, in order to ensure everything, I will order someone to go to the nearest bitter salt producing area quickly, and get a hundred catties of inedible bitter salt. ”

Pull up Bai Fan and go outside the house!

Bai Fan opened his mouth and said, "Senior brother, don't panic! The younger brother has words first, this is a gift for the senior brother!

If this method of salt making is successful, the credit will go to the senior brother, but the property rewarded by the court will belong to the younger brother, and the senior brother has also seen it, and the younger brother has nothing to eat in these three broken thatched huts, so he urgently needs money and materials! ”

Yuan Laodao didn't expect Bai Fan to stare at this, and said with a smile: "Where did the senior brother think of it, how can the senior brother be a greedy impostor!"

When you get the reward from the imperial court, not to mention all the property, you even have an official hat and title! The best mansions in Chang'an are up to you to choose, where do you need to care about the things here? ”

Bai Fan refused: "Senior brother misunderstood!" The younger brother means that as long as you have property, you don't want officials! The idea of the younger brother is to open a small academy here, and it would be nice to be able to teach a few students.

As for entering the court as an official, the water in the court is too deep, and the younger brother is afraid of drowning!

Please also ask the senior brother to help me keep it secret, as well as the origin of the younger brother, Wenqu Xingzhi, I hope that the senior brother will not mention it again, since ancient times, the heart of the emperor is the most uncertain, and the younger brother does not want to invite disaster! I hope my brother will help me! ”

Bai Fan said that in the end, he bowed down and gave Yuan Tiangang a big gift!

This! I didn't expect it! This junior brother seems to be young, but he is so sophisticated, and he can see it clearly! It's rare and rare, it's really a piece of good talent!

Nodding slowly, Yuan Laodao spoke: "Okay! I promised you for my brother, since I have become a brother, how can I not think about you for my brother?

Now, you can go back to the Taoist temple with me! ”

Bai Fan was overjoyed, and laughed: "That's nature, I still live here, and my little brother is afraid that he will starve to death!" How good it is to follow my brother to eat and drink without worry! ”

Outside Chang'an City, Yuan Tiangang took Bai Fan to get a good horse from Sanyuan, and it took two hours to return here from Baijiagou!

Bai Fan complained a lot along the way, can you imagine the passionate feeling of two big men on the same horseback?

Yuan Tiangang is also complaining, although this junior brother is knowledgeable, he only has one mouth, and he can't even ride a horse, which is really a loss of manly demeanor! You also need Lao Dao to hold him and ride a horse! It's really bitter!

When I entered the Taoist temple, I immediately met the Taoist boy at the door and took over the horses to settle down!

At this time, a young Taoist priest came out from inside, and bowed to Yuan Tiangang and said: "Apprentice to see Master, you can come back, today Lao Junguan came to the nobleman, looking for the master but not there, the apprentice is afraid of neglecting the nobleman, and his heart is quite panicked!" ”

Yuan Laodao snorted and said, "It's okay, the teacher has already rushed back!"

Come, Chunfeng, come and meet your little uncle, as the teacher went out today to pick up your uncle! ”

Teacher? Li Chunfeng thought to himself, where did he come from an uncle?

Looking up at Yuan Tiangang, it turned out to be a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, a scholar's robe that was already worn out, if it wasn't for the master's introduction, I'm afraid I would have been able to treat him as a beggar!

Seeing Li Chunfeng stunned, Bai Fan said, "What? Don't believe I'm your uncle? Isn't it because I'm young and thinking about how to bully me? ”

Yuan Tiangang shouted: "Chunfeng must not be rude! This is the real cousin of the teacher, although he is young, but your uncle is undoubted! ”

Li Chunfeng came back to his senses, listened to his master's words, of course he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately saluted: "Senior nephew Li Chunfeng to meet Uncle Junior!" ”

Bai Fan nodded and said, "Master and nephew are exempt!" Uncle Shi has just arrived, empty-handed, and he didn't bring any greeting gifts, but Uncle Shi and I will be developed another day, and I will definitely make up for it! ”

Li Chunfeng hurriedly said don't dare!

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said: "Haha, junior brother counts when he speaks!" For a brother, but Dai Chunfeng should respond!

Let's go, don't stand outside the door anymore, follow the old way inside! ”

While chatting, a few people entered the Laojun Temple!

Bai Fan walked all the way to see, although it was snowy at this time, but Lao Junguan looked like a Taoist blessed land, and the scenery was naturally quite impressive!

"Senior brother, you're not too small to watch! Why don't you feel popular? With such sparse population and low incense, the harvest will definitely not work! Bai Fan teased.

Yuan Tiangang waved his hand again and again, "Senior brother, don't talk nonsense, monks pay attention to self-cultivation, Taoism is a place to worship the ancestors and immortals, is it for greedy incense?" ”

Li Chunfeng said on the side: "Uncle Xiao doesn't know, there are a lot of people in Laojunguan on weekdays, but there are nobles in the temple today, so ordinary people are afraid of collisions, so they avoid coming to the incense today!" ”

As he was talking, several people walked to the Taiqing Hall of the main hall of Laojunguan!

Bai Fan looked at this posture, there were eight guards in civilian clothes standing outside the door, but there were seven maids in the hall waiting on both sides, just a young woman, although she was dressed plainly, but her temperament was extraordinary, and she was praying sincerely to the statue of Lao Jun!
