At present, the expenses of the cottage are not small, and if you want to solve the economic problem, it is nothing more than two ways: open source and throttling.

Moreover, at the moment, it is difficult to throttle the cost of buying horses, buying ordnance, and the daily expenses of cottages, otherwise it will be wasted. Therefore, there is only the way of open source.

As for the current cottages, if it is a small fight or a one-shot deal, it is difficult to solve the actual problem. However, Chao Gai also has a headache, no matter what society it is, where there is money to be made.

Even, for this matter, Chao Gai has been insomnia for more than ten days in a row. In the eyes of others, he, the owner of Liangshan, who has infinite scenery, is facing tremendous pressure at this time.

In fact, this problem began to be considered after Chao covered Liangshan, but he has been struggling to find a suitable solution.

At the moment, this large amount of money is not painful, but I have to spend it.

Chao Gai asked himself: Could it be that he was tossed like this and then it was unfinished? I came from that world, and I lived again, could it be that I made a farce like this, trying to make people laugh?

Chao Gai was not reconciled, and pondered for a long time, and finally, he thought of a way to definitely go and try it.

"A way to make money?"

When San Ruan heard this, he was stunned, Chao Gai meant this, could it be that he wanted them to go fishing?

The three of them were originally fishermen, and they knew how to fish, so they really didn't have any ability to make money. But even if it is fishing, the income will not be too good, otherwise the craftsmanship of a few of them would not have been so hard in Shijie Village before.

Besides, now that they have gone to Liangshan, if they really lead a group of minions to fish, I'm afraid they will be laughed off by others, right?

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to take people to fish!"

Seeing the unnaturalness on Sanruan's face, Chao Gai immediately knew that they had misunderstood.

Even, even Chao Gai was a little crying and laughing, if he really wanted them to do this, he, the owner of Liangshan, would not be scolded by a group of Liangshan soldiers poking his backbone.

"What do you mean, brother?"

When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile. He knew that he was afraid that according to the current meaning, Chao Gaiba had an idea.

"I'm going to go to the beach around Liangshan," Chao Gai said.

"By the sea?"

Ruan Xiaoer looked surprised: "The surroundings of Liangshan are not far away, separated from Laizhou, but there is a sea area, but it is not too open, and few people go." But what is my brother going to do at the beach? ”

"Yes", Ruan Xiaowu looked at Chao Gai and couldn't help but say: "I grew up by the water since I was a child, but I only saw some fishermen begging for a living on the water, even fishermen who went to the sea, and it was very rare. The sea is unpredictable, and if you are not careful, you will destroy the ship and kill people. It's better for my brother to be cautious."

"I just went to the beach for a walk, but not to the sea, and a few brothers went with me with peace of mind," Chao Gai said with a smile, a little noncommittal.

"That ......", at this time, Lin Chong couldn't help but speak. Before, he heard Chao Gai say that he was going out for a while, and asked him to take care of the cottage. He also thought that Chao Gai was going to go far away, but he didn't want Chao Gai to go shopping in the prefectures and counties near Liangshan.

At this time, Chao Gai said that he wanted to find a way to make money. Lin Chong was also extremely puzzled, the current expenses of Liangshan were by no means a few small sums of money that could solve the problem. So what way did Chao Gai think of to make money?

Chao Gai saw that the dead man in front of him hesitated, and he didn't say much, but explained: "Chao Gai will explore the way first, and whether it will succeed or not will be a later story." I just need two brothers to accompany Chao Gai through this experience! ”

"My brother has orders, and I should obey them!" When Ruan Xiaoer heard this, he didn't ask more, but just clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

"That being the case, then Xiao Qi will stay in the cottage with the head of the Lin sect, and I will go to the beach with the second brother and the fifth brother", Chao Gai nodded and ordered: "A few days at least, more than ten days, I will return to the mountain later."

When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, he was a little anxious. But thinking that he had gone to Tokyo with Chao Gai before, and it was not easy to compete with the two brothers now, he nodded immediately: "In this case, Xiao Qi and Brother Lin Jiaotou will guard the cottage and look forward to the return of the elder brother."

"Where is my brother going first?"

Lin Chong groaned, looked at Chao Gai and said. It suddenly occurred to him that he was afraid that in the near future, his brother, who had been out before, might have to return to the mountain. When the time comes, it is inevitable that there will be something important to Chao Gai to decide.

Chao Gai heard this, and even knew what Lin Chong meant: "It shouldn't be too long, and I will go around Laizhou, Qingzhou, and Yizhou near Liangshan." Let Qin Le's kid follow, if there is anything, let him return the docking."

"That's fine", Lin Chong heard this, and then said again with some unease: "How many people are my brother going to take with me?" ”

In Lin Chong's mind, Chao Gai's identity is special at the moment, and if there are many people, I am afraid it will be easy to be exposed. However, if the number of people is small, I am afraid it will be difficult to ensure the safety of Chao Gai.

"It's better for the elder brother to let the fifth brother take a few people with him, and let the second brother lead a man to respond around. In this way, it is good to teach Lin Chong to rest assured."

"Yes, brother", Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu couldn't help but nod when they heard this: "Brother Lin Chong's plan is very good, no matter what, your safety must be the most important!" ”

"Okay, just do what Sect Leader Lin said", Chao Gai saw this, and had to nod.

Chao Gai knew the worries of Lin Chong and the others, but now he was a man of the hour, if his visit to the micro-service was reported by the government, even if he could get out smoothly, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

At present, Lin Chong's plan is actually a dark Chen Cang for the Ming Plank Road, which can just hide people's eyes and ears, but it is indeed a good strategy. Although Chao Gai is confident that with his own skills, plus Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu, Mo said that this Jingdong East Road is the world, and it can be done. But as a matter of trouble, Chao Gai still accepted Lin Chong's proposal.

……

The waves on the sea came first, and the front of the building pointed to Gu Xue piled up.

Feel the cool sea breeze on the coast of Laizhou, and the robes are hunting. Above the sea, the waves at the head of the tide come one after another, and the momentum is also somewhat spectacular. Looking at the scene of the water and the sky in front of him, Chao Gai couldn't help but think of Su Shi's song "Five Uniques of the Evening Scene of Wanghailou".

Just thinking of himself now, he actually traveled to the dynasty of Su Shi's life, and Chao Gai couldn't help but have such a picture in his mind: If he brought the poems that Su Shi hadn't created to him, he didn't know what the reaction would be?

Even, Chao Gai suddenly thought that in this world of heavy literature and light martial arts, if he was alone, he could use the classic poems of later generations to eat. Those days are also very tight.

Thinking of this, Chao Gai suddenly couldn't help laughing, it seemed that he had inadvertently found an excellent way for a bachelor to travel to the Song Dynasty to make a living. But for him now, the entire Liangshan is no longer a concept of dragging his family.

"Brother, you ......"

Looking at the smile on the corner of Chao Gai's mouth, and the look of intoxication and enjoyment on his face blowing the sea breeze, Ruan Xiaowu couldn't help but hesitate: Isn't this brother here to see the sea view?

But what's the point of seeing this sea view? All year round, it is a gesture, so tasteless and tasteless, it is better to drink with the brothers holding the wine jar and drinking freely.

"No hurry".

Chao Gai naturally knew what Ruan Xiaowu was thinking, but he didn't explain at this time.

After his initial assumption, he hit the idea of selling salt. Before the Western Han Dynasty, salt was liberalized, and then it was basically controlled by the state, monopolized, and heavily taxed. At the same time, the sale of illicit salt has become a lucrative industry. Of course, because of this, the crackdown on the sale of illicit salt by various generations is also quite large.

And Chao Gai also knew that compared with private salt, the profits of private salt in the imperial court were surprisingly large, and the main reason for this was, of course, that official salt was levied extremely heavy taxes.

However, the method of drying salt from seawater appeared very late in China, probably in the Yuan and Ming dynasties. Therefore, what Chao Gai thought of at this time was the advanced technology of "seawater salting" in the Song River, and then Liangshan began to take advantage of its proximity to the sea to use and mine sea salt on a large scale, and developed it into a pillar industry of Liangshan's economy.

When he thought of this thought, Chao Gai couldn't help but be excited for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't very familiar with water and his identity was sensitive, I'm afraid Chao Gai would have come to inspect a long time ago. After all, whether it can be done or not, you have to carefully investigate it, and even do experiments. He only understands the general process of this "technology" of seawater salting, but he has never done it himself.

At present, the technology is limited, and the traditional and extensive salt pan method can only be used to make salt.

As the words fell, Chao Gai looked at the beach in front of him. The beach in front of you is not particularly open, but it is relatively secluded, hidden on the shore of a promontory, which is very suitable for the development of salt pans, but this scale cannot be expanded too much, but it can be used as a test field.

Thinking of this, Chao Gai beckoned Ruan Xiaowu to come over and asked him to order someone to go to find Ruan Xiaoer and lead people to come.

Fortunately, Ruan Xiaoer was not far away, and there were special personnel in charge of contacting, and after a while, Ruan Xiaoer appeared in front of Chao Gai with a team of sailors and horses that had been turned into pieces.

However, at this time, this navy does look a little funny, each of them is some fisherman or farmer costume, usually holding weapons in their hands, usually holding shovels and other agricultural tools in their hands, as if farmers have blended into the ranks of fishermen woven into the navy.

"Brother, you are ......"

Ruan Xiaoer was naked, wearing only half of the shorts of unknown material, most of his calves were leaking outside, barefoot, and said to Chao Gai with a puzzled face: "Brother, you are ......"

How can an army lose its weapons and replace them with farm tools? But Chao Gai's previous instructions were exactly that. Seeing that Chao Gai had summoned himself to the beach again, Ruan Xiaoer couldn't help asking:

"Dig a pit!"

Chao Gai smiled and said succinctly.

"Dig ...... Digging a pit? ”

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu glanced at each other, looking incredulous. What kind of medicine does this brother sell in the gourd, and he actually brought the navy here to blow the sea breeze and watch the sea view? Now you want to dig a kang on this coast?

Is it necessary to leave a souvenir?

Chao Gai didn't have time to pay attention to the surprise of the two, and as he spoke, he gestured and commanded carefully.

"Half of the perimeter is on guard, and the rest of the people are digging two pools over here......"
