Xu Yukun has a good impression of Bai Dong, otherwise he would not have made a move with 100,000 stone grain. What is this concept? One stone and 100 catties, 100,000 stones is 10 million catties, and there are about 400,000 affected citizens in Lao Qin, which can support a month according to the daily consumption of 400,000 catties of grain! If it is used for military service, it is enough to support an army of 100,000 people to fight a war. This is a real rich country, with the power of one person to support the national fortune, can be called a giant businessman!

However, with Xu Yukun's experience, no matter how much he likes Bai Dong's poems, it is impossible to use half of the grain reserves to help foreign countries, and he is more or less interested in refining salt methods, but he is very smart and did not put it forward as a condition, just waiting for Bai Dong to mention it himself.

Jing Jian's people have already found out that the Qi State Salt Industry is now very embarrassed, on the one hand, they don't want to be choked by the throat of Wei people to do someone else's On the one hand, we have to worry about Pang Juan's large-scale march into the army; now we have hoarded a large amount of salt, and it is not true that it is not sold, and it is not sold if it is not sold, and the Wei people who sell it at a low price will definitely be welcomed, but they will be plundered by the Wei people who have mastered the method of refining salt; raising the price will anger the Wei people, and it will also lead to a big reduction in sales.

This is not the most difficult to accept, the most indignant thing in the Qi salt world is that since the appearance of refined salt in the Wei State, even the nobles of the Qi State have gradually become inseparable from this refined salt. After eating good things and then eating bad things, this kind of pain is better than death.

There is no shortage of masters of boiling salt under Xu Yukun, but they are also limited by historical limitations and inertial thinking, and they will also see water vapor steaming, but they will not think that this is a manifestation of liquid vaporization. They will see the river freeze in winter. But they will only think that this is a matter of course. I wouldn't think that this is a manifestation of liquid solidification, and with such a way of thinking, how could it be possible to suddenly open my mind and come up with a chemical method to refine refined salts?

In fact, Xu Yukun has been paying attention to Bai Dong for a long time, Gongzi Yin Qi and Meng Fuzi only thought that Xu Gong despised Lao Qin, and it was difficult to see it easily, in fact, if Bai Dong came to visit, Xu Yuan promised to open the door as soon as possible. Winning the bow and giving new poems are just icing on the cake.

"I know what Gong Dao Yukun is thinking, but I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Lao Qin and Wei on the same day to cut down the Yiqu, in exchange for military funds in the refined salt system, the two countries have already agreed, if the old Qin has leaked the refined salt method, Wei will raise the country's troops to attack Qin, at that time the division was famous, the world can not help. If Dong leaks today, it will harm Lao Qin. It's also harming Baijiazhuang and my family."

Bai Dong shook his head with a smile. If it was just to reveal the refined salt preparation method, he wouldn't have to come to see Xu Gong in a bad way. Today's China is not the unified China of later generations. Twenty countries under heaven, gold is not a real hard currency, the copper coins used in various countries are not even the same shape, although grain is important, it can be grown everywhere, and rice and wheat cannot be grown, then I will grow chestnut rice, and no one will die of hunger; Only salt is the thing that affects the world, and the salt of Qi is half the world, how much advantage is this? But the people of Qi have mastered such great benefits, but they have only been strong in history for a few decades, and they were soon surpassed by Qin Zhao in the late Warring States period, which is really stupider than a pig!

Xu Yukun smiled and nodded, waved his hand gently, and the beautiful men and women in the pavilion retreated one after another, leaving only one beautiful girl who did not leave. Bai Dong glanced at Li Niang, turned around and said to Gongzi Yinqi: "The matter I discussed with Yukun Gong, although it will not harm the Qi country, but it must not be known to outsiders, and Gongzi is afraid that there will be a lot of inconvenience when he hears it."

"Understood, I'll go."

Childe Yinqi nodded, turned around and left. He was notoriously unsuccessful in the Qi State, but he was elected as the prince by Tian Wu, because he took a fancy to him for being decisive and able to be good, and the facts also proved that Tian Wu was not wrong.

Li Niang smiled and said: "The son of the world can't listen, Li Niang is afraid that it will be even more inappropriate." Yukun, I'll go and see how the peach blossom wine brewed last month is, and when you're done, warm up and send it to taste with Baizi. After speaking, he also left, and only Xu Yukun and Bai Dong were left in the pavilion. The most beautiful man in Qi squeezed his eyes at Bai Dong, lowered his voice and said, "Bai Zi can say it?" If Shi Zhilu said, you must have a good way, which can not only harm the Wei State, but also help my Xu family trading company? ”

"I have to lay out this method for a long time, it will take at least half a year, and there will be a lot of investment in the early stage, maybe you and I will have to lose some money first, and it will be miserable for Wei after the most Lu, but it will also lead to a battle of Qi Wei, but the most Lu will benefit the world, especially you and I will benefit. Will the Yukun Guild mind, dare to take risks? ”

"Bai Ziguo is a master, if Shi often sighs that the Qi country is rich but not strong, if he wants to dominate the world, it is inevitable to fight with the Wei country, you even guessed my mind?"

"I'm not guessing."

"Hehe, naturally, if you rely on guessing, it will be in vain. Such a grand event, naturally it is necessary to count Ruoshi's share, how do you want my Xu family trading company to cooperate with you, and how should it be arranged, Bai Zi can say it now? ”

"How much salt do you have in your hands, and how many salt farms do you control?"

Except for Bai Dong and Xu Yukun, no one knew what the specific content of this secret conversation was, even Liniang, who was closest to Xu Yukun, didn't know, and when she saw her cousin, she was very smart not to ask; Gongzi Yinqi asked Bai Dong once, but he was taken to the piano by Bai Dong in a roundabout, saying that he didn't understand the rhythm, which was a pity, and he would definitely ask him for more advice if he had time.

Gongzi Yinqi agreed very happily, but when he thought about it, he felt very weird, how did Big Brother Bai bypass his own problem and get involved in the piano? It's just weird.

Only by returning with a full load can be used to describe Bai Dong's entry into Qi this time.

After bidding farewell to Ying Shu in the palace, the team of relatives set off, and several scholars such as Meng Fuzi wrote poems in Shili Pavilion; In just a few days, the new poetry style invented by Bai Dong has swept most of the Qi country, and it is still spreading rapidly, after all, it is everyone, Meng Ke's poems at this moment are no less than those new poems in later generations, although they can't write a good sentence like 'persuade the gentleman to have a glass of wine, and there is no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west', but it has been regarded as a strict rule. Bai Dong thanked him again and again, but he was still poured a few wines before he had to go on the road. The autumn wind blows on the face. I only felt the spirit of alcohol floating. Looking at Lao Qin in the west, he really moved the wanderer's mind to return to his hometown.

Several gray-backed falcons were released the day before yesterday, one went to Qin Palace, one went to Baijiazhuang, and one went to Lantian, among which there was the news of their return to inform their families, and there were also special books asking about ink lines, and the biggest good news was the letter that flew to Lihua Palace. One hundred thousand stones of grain is enough for Lao Ying to return to the light, and Bai Dong is even a little worried about whether he will be excited to pout over with these grains. Lao Qin can finally survive this natural disaster.

The autumn wind triumphantly stirred the horse's hooves, and the man was gone. At the moment when the convoy left Linzi, Ying Shu boarded the highest pavilion in the Gongzi's Mansion, and watched the familiar carriage slowly go west from a distance, this crazy little princess had never passed by like today, and waved her hand to say goodbye to this man seriously, shed tears seriously, and sang Qin Ge seriously.

"Bastard! Will you come to see me again? There is no princess Ben around. What should you do if your skin is itchy? It's so pitiful that no one will tie you up or whip you."

In her opinion. This is the saddest thing in the world.

***

Early in the morning, Lantian County is boiling, men, women and children carry bamboo baskets or pockets, come to the Bai family's bulk grain office to receive this month's rations, and when they return home, Lantian County will rise wisps of cooking smoke, and the county magistrate will climb the city wall and point to these cooking smoke happily all day long.

The people live on food! This is an unbreakable truth in any era, and with food, the people will be stable and will not rebel! The country will not be in turmoil, and he, the head of a county, can happily roll the quilt with his wife in his arms.

The trumpet sounded again on the dry plateau? These subordinates sent by Bai Zuo are really incomprehensible, just divide the grain, how can they come up with a way to exchange 'white soil' for food, Lantian has this thing, I knew that the Bai family liked it, I will get you 108,000 stones, what else is Lantian worried about?

The more the county magistrate thought about it, the more curious he became, and subconsciously walked down the city, got on the carriage and rode straight to the dry plateau. It is said that there was a madman named Moxian, who would stand in front of the kiln all day long and go crazy, and was about to be roasted to dry up, which made his daughter-in-law cry every day and refused to stop for a day.

No one will use clay to burn pottery, this thing is actually the 'kaolin' of later generations, and it is also the 'Guanyin soil' that can support hunger in the catastrophic year, if you don't grasp the temperature in the kiln well, it is easy to fail to fire, even if you find the right temperature by mistake, there is no excellent kiln mouth and the formula for firing porcelain in later generations, it will also fail. This kind of native grain is difficult to yield and is almost useless, but now it has become a treasure in the eyes of the Bai family, and it is strange that the county magistrate is not curious.

The 'porcelain kiln' that has been demolished and built three times has finally passed the certification of the ink line, and now a porcelain production workshop has been formed near the kiln mouth, which has all kinds of strange-shaped tools, and all kinds of common bottles and cans can be quickly formed by turning on the wooden spindle, and then being put aside to dry and shape.

The raw material is from kaolin and leucite, the kaolin from the Lantian people will be sent to the stepped filter on the hillside, after stirring evenly, it will be washed to the next pool by the mountain spring water, after the natural settlement of several pools, the impurities in the kaolin will be flowed at the bottom of the pool, only the most delicate soil will enter the most luan after a pool, after a special person fishes and removes the water, and adds the white stone that is crushed into powder in proportion, it is the best porcelain.

The ink line has been thinner than when he first came to Lantian, black like a monkey that has just jumped out of the gossip furnace, and a pair of eyes are red, which is the sequelae of the long-term fire refining in front of the kiln. However, Mu Zhuobei's eyes were redder than his, half a month ago, she was crying and persuading her husband, let's stop doing it, Bai Zuo is a good person, but the matter he explained was to roast the dead alive! As a result, in exchange for the angry eyes of the ink line, he was already crazy, because this was his only chance, he wanted to become the best 'Wanghuo Master' in the Bai family, and he wanted to make the master of the public loser look at him differently! Isn't it necessary for people to live for this breath?

"Thirty, thirty beans, thirty hundreds, thirty high-footed, thirty Fangzun, thirty ear cups, thirty new-style standing bottles, a total of two hundred and ten embryos, have been placed in the most suitable position in accordance with the requirements of Motouer, there are piles of firewood, there are scattered firewood, the firewood road is unblocked, the fire port inspection is completed, the tuyere cleaning has been completed, please Motouer raise the fire!"

Several Bai craftsmen quickly checked and reported the results one by one, and at the same time sent the burning torch to the ink thread.

The facial muscles of the ink line twitched slightly, and the dozen or so embryos that were burned yesterday were close to success, although they did not meet Mr. Bai's requirements, Du Zhi saw it and said that it had surpassed the Chudi crystal pottery, which could be worth a lot of money, he didn't say a word at the time, picked up the dozen or so 'semi-porcelain' and fell directly, and the distressed Du Zhi jumped to his feet.

There is a difference between loose firing and such a whole kiln firing, there have been countless trial firing before, none of which have been successful, and he must pass this level in order to become a qualified fire master.

"Will it work this time?" The ink line gritted his teeth. (To be continued......)
