Chao Gai said: "No problem, we will meet in the afternoon to discuss in detail."

Chai Jin and Chao Gai said goodbye again, Chao Gai took Jiao Ting Luo Yun and the personal guards to continue to go inside, at this time, a fast horse galloped and knew that the person on the horse was holding a spear, and he was very happy to see Chao Gai coming, and said from afar: "Why is my brother here?" ”

Chao Gai saw that it was Shi Jin, and said: "Brother Shi Jin, the long-term workers who have been recruited in the past two days are going to leave for New Jeju, I will come and see, how are you doing, everything is fine." ”

Shi Jin said: "Everything is fine, the salt farm is producing well, just in time for the salt harvest, the workers are busy, the salt is piled up like a hill, I have never seen so much salt since I was a child." ”

Chao Gai nodded and said, "Okay, you take Luo Yun to arrange a place for the cavalry to stay, and I'll go find Mr. Zhu." ”

Shi Jin immediately instructed Luo Yun to settle Chao Gai's personal guards, Chao Gai and Jiao Ting went to the Changgong resettlement site, where was Zhu Wu busy, there were more than a dozen cauldrons outside, ginger soup was boiling, and a few pots were boiling medicine, and the smell of herbs was permeating. Workers with lime powder are cleaning latrines, sewage ditches, and other places where dirt and dirt can easily be hidden.

It turned out that when Zhu Wu came, it was already cold on the side of the salt field, the soldiers and workers were well dressed and warm, and the nutrition was naturally very few people were sick, but the long-term workers recruited from Zhending were not so lucky, he lived in a shack, and the warmth was naturally not as good as the house, and the nutrition of the long-term workers was not as good as the normal workers, and the third was that some people were not adaptable. So some people have diarrhea and the like, and some people have colds and headaches, and the most serious is that more than 20 people have a fever, and the fever is a serious illness in these years, and there are four doctors in the salt field who are treating these people.

Zhu Wu looked up: "Why is my brother here?" ”

Chao Gai said: "In the past two days, the fleet has come to pick up people, and I came over to see the big guy, how is it, has the situation stabilized?" ”

Zhu Wudao: "It's not a big problem, it's just a regular wind chill, the doctor said it won't be contagious, but in order to prevent it, I asked the doctor to prepare medicine and ginger soup to prevent wind chill, and toilets, sewage ditches and other places are being thoroughly disinfected, and no one is allowed to drink raw water." ”

"Yes, it does."

Chao Gai said and turned into a low shack, with Chao Gai's height, he could only keep his head down inside, the air inside was dirty, there were five patients living in five simple beds, and white towels were placed on top of each head.

"Have you taken the medicine today?" Chao Gai asked a long-term worker, and the long-term worker said: "After eating, it's actually nothing, I can still work, but I'm just a little unused to it." ”

"I'm still working when I have a fever, and I'm dying. Have a good rest, rest assured, and pay for your illness and rest. Chao Gai comforted the workers.

Chao Gai turned a few more shacks, the situation is similar to here, most of the patients are okay, but the humid air in the shacks near the sea here is obviously not conducive to recovery.

Chao Gai said to Zhu Wu: "The fleet will arrive in the next few days, and it is very risky to get sick on board, and seasickness is likely to cause casualties." ”

Zhu Wudao: "There are a total of twenty-five people with a fever, I plan to send them to the Yanshan Inn, and divide five isolation rooms from the inn, where the accommodation conditions are good and the recovery is fast." ”

"Well, well, you can arrange for someone to be transferred immediately, remember, you must use a sealed carriage. In addition, the food of the long-term workers should be strengthened, and more pigs, sheep, fish and shrimp should be purchased in the room to improve their lives. Chao Gai arranged.

Zhu Wu hugged his fists and said, "Brother, don't worry, I'll arrange it immediately." ”

Zhu Wu immediately arranged for Yang Chun to lead the coachman of the salt field to arrange for the patient to be transferred to the Tianya Inn in Yanshan Village to live and recuperate.

Convenient food here by the sea is mainly based on fish and shrimp, or it may be that these long-term workers are not suitable for the real ding, the room went to order pigs and sheep on the same day, Cangzhou is relatively sparsely populated, so there are more sheep, and now it is the late autumn weather sheep soup is still very good.

After arranging the patients, Chao Gai, Zhu Wu and others washed their faces, Zhu Wu took Chao Gai to look around, pointed to the endless beach and said: "The construction over there is also a salt field, and it will be expanded to 50,000 mu next year, and this will be a salt world in the future." In the northwest, far from the sea, three new villages of salt workers will be built, each of which will be able to accommodate at least 500 households. Our factory is at least 30% higher than the salary of the same kind, and there are more rest days and various benefits, so the enthusiasm of the workers is very good. ”

Chao Gai nodded and said, "Mr. Zhu has worked hard, this salt farm can have such a scale thanks to you and Kong Yang." The living facilities of the workers must be improved, the nursery hall and the school must be built, and there must be a minimum sports field, and the big guys can play football or something when they are not working. ”

Zhu Wudao: "Okay, I'll arrange it together for the next few days." The deserted village where we store salt is called Salt Mountain because of the large salt warehouse we built, which is about ten miles away from here, and there are several restaurants, bathhouses, and clothing stores, mainly when the workers of the salt works are resting. ”

"Well, this is not bad, at least it is more convenient for the workers to rest, I arranged for Liu Liang and them to come to Yanshan to open a few shops recently, so that the workers can buy things. Also, how is the production of salt bricks? Chao Gai asked.

Zhu Wudao: "The salt brick thing is to compress the salt into a block, a hard stone, the production technology is simple, and the production has begun, but the big guy and I are thinking, how to get such a hard salt brick when you eat it?" ”

Chao Gai smiled: "Hehe, it's no wonder I didn't make it clear, the salt bricks are not for human consumption, but for cattle and sheep tian." ”

In the afternoon, Chao Gai and Zhu Wu also brought Jiao Ting, Luo Yun, Shi Jin and a group of five people to ride horses to Yanshan Village for dinner, Yanshan Village is where a warehouse of the salt field is located, more than ten miles away from the salt field, it was originally a deserted village, and then gradually there were many more shops. The roads by the sea are not wide, at most there can only be two carriages in parallel, and the five people are walking forward, and suddenly a group of horses came in front, there were six horsemen, the leader was two cavalrymen, and the four horsemen in the back, all of them were in civilian clothes, and they seemed to be arrogant, probably officials somewhere.

"Spread out, spread out, don't stand in the way of my lord's horse's head." Two horsemen shouted, waving their whips.

Chao Gai didn't take it seriously, which of the soldiers and horses in the Heng Imperial Court in these years was not as horizontal as the bald-tailed dog, and motioned for everyone to hide aside and let them pass. But you are willing to let the family not necessarily want to appreciate it, the two cavalrymen in the lead stared at Chao Gai and the others, and waved their hands: "Slow, what are you five doing, how to carry long weapons." ”

Shi Jin said: "What are you doing, your face is very raw, not like a local official." ”

The man got angry and said, "I asked you, and you still asked about me, right?" Saying that, the wheel whip was about to draw Shi Jin, but Shi Jin snatched the head of the whip with his hand, pulled it hard, and pulled the cavalryman off the horse.

The other cavalryman drew his long knife with a brush, and he was faster than him, and the spear was pressed to his neck.

Shi Jin said: "Let me ask you, what are you doing, what are you doing here?" ”

"My lord is here to take office, how about coming and looking at the salt works by the sea?" The cavalry did not dare to make a mistake and told the truth.

At that moment, the cavalry arrived behind the four horses, and the first one was gorgeously dressed, with a little mustache, and looked very stylish. This man said: "Bold, who dares to attack the officers and soldiers." ”

Zhu Wu took a look, Chao Gai, and the horse came over, asking Shi Jin to put down the spear, Zhu Wu hugged his fists and said: "There may have been a misunderstanding just now, we are the regimental training of the salt field, and we were ordered to guard the salt field." I don't know who the adult is, and where to go to the salt farm? ”

This man said: "This official is cheap, my cousin is the current Taiwei Gao Yu, this official is going to Gaotang Prefecture to take office, I heard that the Huanghua salt field is very huge, so I made a long detour to take a look." ”

Zhu Wu heard that Gao Yu's head was big, and now Taiwei Gao Yu is in the limelight, and he is a very difficult character to offend. Zhu Wudao: "Nowadays, there are craftsmen in Yantian who are infected with typhoid fever, and they have a terrible headache and fever, and the doctor said that the disease is contagious, and it is better not to go for the safety of the tall people, not to mention that the governor of Yantian is not an economic prefecture and agrees that outsiders are not allowed to enter." ”

Gao Lian was not happy when he heard it, and snorted coldly: "Isn't this official okay?" ”

Zhu Wudao: "Since it is a system, it must not be an exception, it is better for Lord Gao to go to Jeju and let Governor Xu open a document, and then the adults can visit the salt field." ”

Gao Lian's face was gloomy, originally in Tokyo, he wanted the wind to be windy, and he wanted to be rainy, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at this bird, he didn't pull a small salt field guard and didn't give face.

The two cavalrymen and three retinues under him were not happy, and they wanted to hit Zhu Wu when they started, but Shi Jin Luoyun went over with a spear to stop him and hit together. Gao Lian's entourage was defeated by Shi Jin and Luo Yun, the two beaten were defeated and retreated, Chao Gai coughed, and Shi Jin and Luo Yun put away their guns and retreated.

Zhu Wudao: "Lord Gao, please go back." The salt farm also has the difficulties of the salt farm, and we are also involuntarily assigned to our superiors, so there is no need to make trouble here. ”

Gao Lian said: "If we go by ourselves, we won't believe that we won't be able to enter a salt farm." ”

Gao Lian took people to ignore Chao Gai and the others and went in the direction of the salt field, Zhu Wu looked at Chao Gai, and said with a stern face: "Brother." The salt pans have little technical content, and the salt drying method will be leaked sooner or later. Gao Lian, as the prefect of the Tang Dynasty, must not be able to reach to the beach, there is a shadow of Gao Yu here, this time we are offending Gao Yu. ”

Chao Gai sighed and said: "It's going to rain, the mother wants to marry and go with him, if you offend, you will be offended, the emperor is far away and afraid that he will not be able to do it, go, drink." ”

A group of five people rushed to Yanshan Village to drink, there is a street in Yanshan Village, there are dozens of shops, and the best restaurant is a two-story small wooden building, which was opened by Chai Jinjia. There is also Tianya Inn next to it, which was opened by Chao Gai's family, and Tianya Inn belongs to the category of big car shops, which belongs to resisting. Chai Jin came from a noble background, and naturally refused to go to the small shop to eat when he talked about face.
