Chapter 16 Be confident
By the time Yang Bo arrived, the group had already ended with the intervention of Han Yan'er, who arrived first, and it could be seen that Han Yan'er still had some prestige among the military households.
"What's going on?" Yang Bo held back his anger and asked a few guys with blue noses and swollen faces, no wonder the imperial court refused to use Xu Guangqi's salt thinning, these military households just started to fight and make trouble just after they relaxed, I heard Bi Fangji say that the scale of the Lianghuai Salt Farm is very large, and the military households under its jurisdiction are only afraid of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people, so if there is trouble, it will be terrible, only let them be tired every day like dead dogs can be harmonious.
"You come ......" Yang Bo saw that everyone didn't speak, so he pointed to the nose of a military man in the front and said, this person's eyes were red, his hands were black, and he knew at a glance that he had been working by the stove for a long time and was smoked.
"Go back, big, the words of the adults......" The military man saw that it was Yang Bo, and his tongue rolled a little and said: "It's Huang Erman of Yishan Stove Household, Li Dali, they picked the matter first, saying that we are lazy in boiling the sea, they say that they are hard to cut wood, but the share of salt is the same, they feel that they have suffered a loss, and they will talk about it, we are not angry for a while, so we argued a few words, and later, later, ......"
The soldier muttered that he couldn't go on, and just looked at the group of soldiers
"Huang Erman, Li Dali, get out and speak," Yang Bo said sharply
Two people really rolled out of the military household, and it turned out that when they heard Yang Bo's voice, Huang Erman was scared for a while, tripped over the bumps of the beach, and rolled in front of Yang Bo with Li Dali.
Yang Bo looked at it, these two people were in their twenties, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and they really didn't know where they came from to fight, but because they had been logging in the mountains for a long time, their bodies were broad, and their two arms seemed to have some strength.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Yang Bo looked at the two embarrassed looks, and he couldn't get angry for a while
Yang Bo was surrounded by Han Biter and them, listened to Huang Erman talk about the cause of the incident with a calm face, listened to it for a long time, and finally understood the reason, it was all trivial things, it was nothing more than that the military households in Maojiatun were divided into two classes, and the loggers felt that they had made a lot of efforts, and the share of salt should be less on their heads, and the boiled sea thought that their work was not easy.
Seeing that Yang Bo had a gloomy face and didn't speak, the military households present were beating drums in their hearts, after all, the notoriety of trying hundreds of households spread all over Maojiatun, who knows how he is going to punish himself?
"From today onwards, Maojiatun will not use the method of boiling the sea to produce salt, so there is no difference between the mountains and the sea" Yang Bo said slowly, "There is nothing to do in the past two days, if I were you, I would definitely go to catch some fish and shrimp to improve my life."
"As for today's fight, as long as there are people who participate......" Yang Bo's sharp eyes swept over those guys with blue noses and swollen faces one by one: "As for you people, I have been on duty on the edge of the salt pond for the past two days, saving me nothing to do, just forget it, if anyone dares to stir up trouble, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, just scold a sentence and a fine of one tael, and five taels of hands...... That's it, everything that has nothing to do is gone."
Hearing Yang Bo's words, the few fighting military households felt a chill in their hearts, this trial hundred households are really too black-hearted, even if they are all packaged and sold with their wives and children, it is not worth five taels......
Seeing the hundred households waving, those who did not participate in the military households immediately dispersed, today is their most idle time, some people began to think in their hearts, whether to listen to the words of the hundred households to go to the beach to catch some fish and shrimp, or take care of the abandoned fields, even if it is to grow some side dishes.
"We have to find something for them to do......" Yang Bo looked at those dejected guys and thought to himself
At this moment, Bi Fangji, who was originally checking the salt drying field on the side, suddenly ran over with a panicked face, and when he saw Yang Bo, he didn't care about panting, and took Yang Bo's hand and walked to the side, "Idle, something is wrong!" ”
"What's wrong? Father, don't worry, say something slowly" Yang Bo comforted with his surname, he has not been worried since he took office, he has to make up his mind about big and small things, and he is numb to some episodes from time to time.
"Alas, it's all because I didn't think it through before," Bi Francis said in a heavy tone: "For convenience, I set up the salt pond by the sea, so that it is convenient to divert seawater, but I forgot one thing......"
When Yang Bo heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he blurted out: "The tide is rising!" ”
"Yes, high tide! That's right, I forgot about the high tide on the beach, and if the tide flooded the salt pond, it would be in vain," Bi Francis blamed himself.
Yang Bo patted Bi Fangji's shoulder and said: "It's okay, I can't blame you, it's me who didn't think it through, it's too late to regret it now, it's better to think about how to remedy it."
Yang Bo walked around a few laps with his hands behind his back, and he had an idea in his heart
"In this way, first use loess sand and gravel to build a wall on the edge of the salt pond, anyway, the tide can't rise much, just block the sea water from pouring in, besides, the tide always has to retreat."
Bi Fangji thought for a while, still full of worries, "Although this method is good, it is only temporarily blocking the tide, the wall is easy to collapse after soaking for a long time, this is not the best of both worlds after all, in my opinion, it is better to set the salt pond in a high place, but if you take water like that, it is time-consuming and laborious......"
Yang Bo smiled dumbly and said, "Priest, do you think that these salt pools are enough?" ”
Bi Fangji was a little surprised, in the morning, the military households of Quantun started together, these nearly thirty large pools According to his rough estimate, each salt pond can produce at least 100 catties of coarse salt, listening to the meaning of Yang Bo's words, he is not enough?
"These are just early tests of the water, if the method of drying salt really works, then all the places here can be used," Yang Bo waved his hand, drawing a circle from the beach to the wasteland behind.
"But......" Bi Fangji was frightened by Yang Bo's ambition, "but, but that piece of land is too high, and it is so far away, how can it lead water over and let the military households carry it over?" ”
"That's very simple, isn't it enough to make two waterwheels?" Yang Bo smiled
"Water wheels? Why didn't I think about it, well, it's a good idea, set up a waterwheel by the sea, and use hollowed-out trees as a diversion canal, so I know that I have already made up my mind," Bi Fangji stroked his beard and nodded with a smile
"Father, do you want to call one of these waterwheels the Francis waterwheel?" Yang Bo rolled his eyes
"Huh?" Bi Fangji didn't react for a while, and after waiting for a while, he suddenly became excited: "Zhixian, can you really use my name?" I must say, it's my pleasure......"
After speaking, Bi Fangji bowed his hand to Yang Bo deeply: "Zhixian took great pains to let me integrate into the life of the local military family, how can Bi Fangji not thank me?" ”
Yang Bo laughed: "You will pay half of the silver for building the waterwheel?" ”
"Huh? I suddenly felt that it would be more appropriate to name the watermill after Zhixian......"
