In the morning, Lin Bei woke up, pushed open the door of the house, and saw the half-dead thing on the ground, I don't know if it was a pheasant or a domestic chicken, Lin Bei frowned.

This is already the second time, the first time is a little boar, also half-dead.

"Once it can be said to be a coincidence, this is the second time, whose prank is it?" Lin Bei was a little speechless, did he want to scare him?

Rolling up the pheasant, Lin Bei went to the backyard and patted the pond water gently, the red Jiao came out of the water, and Lin Bei threw the pheasant to it.

"You've gained a lot of weight."

The length of Chijiao is actually about the same as before, that is, the body has become round, when he was not Lin Bei's younger brother, Chijiao was obviously full and hungry, but now it is a fixed-point meal, and it does not need to hunt for food, and it does not move as soon as it is eaten, and it is strange that it is not fat.

Seeing Chijiao swallowing the pheasant, Lin Bei's heart moved, and he scolded with a smile: "Rub, it shouldn't have been you, right?" ”

Chijiao had contributed food to Lin Bei before, but Lin Bei didn't eat raw food, so he finally fell into Chijiao's mouth, maybe Chijiao had another convulsion during this time, no matter what, Lin Bei couldn't benefit anyway.

Under the lotus leaves of the pond, the little green snake lies comfortably and sleeps, its size is also a little bigger, almost two feet long, it has grown poisonous fangs, it is a poisonous snake undoubtedly, according to age, the little green snake has become an adult, so it will not always lie on Lin Bei's side, this pond and the surrounding trees are the activities of the little green snake, there are some fish in the pond, the little green snake can catch fish to eat, at first Lin Bei was also worried that the red snake would eat the little green snake, after several observations, it was found that the red snake ignored the little green snake at all, and the little green snake naturally would not pick this behemoth, The two are also at peace,

Climb to the front yard. Bian Ji is already waiting, and today Lin Bei is going to do one thing, that is, to send a book.

The so-called sending books is to give books to those common people, during this period because of the vigorous use of papermaking and movable type printing, books also began to transition from wooden tablets to paper, this first time to send books is a thousand books. Each book is a thick stack of poems, and all of Bian Ji's collection will be printed in the future, and finally everyone in the city will have one.

And Bian Ji out of the city lord's mansion, soon came to the paper workshop, at this time outside the paper workshop has been surrounded by several circles of people, all of them are waiting, yesterday An Zhong directly informed everyone, today will be sent by the adult. In addition, it was also said that the conditions for the distribution of books were that families with children or men under the age of 20 would be given priority to receive books, on a first-come, first-served basis, and those who arrived later would have to wait for a few more days.

Many of the people of Wanghai are illiterate, but they also know what a book is, which is something that can only be read by scholars, and after reading, they can be learned and become a great official. Although they live a peaceful life now, if they can become big officials. Wouldn't that be more glorious than the lintel of the sect? In addition, it doesn't cost money to get the book, so it is natural to come enthusiastically.

As soon as Lin Bei arrived, these people knelt down with brushes and brushes, visited and bowed down. Lin Bei could already ignore it, nodding slightly at these people, so that these ordinary people could feel his gaze, and finally, he motioned to Bian Ji to let them all get up.

After all got up. Bian Ji first saluted Lin Bei, and then said loudly: "This time to send a thousand copies of the book, it is the meaning of the adult, the adult hopes to open the wisdom of the people, you wait for the book to go back, work hard to read, it is best to read in the morning and evening, a year later, you will be tested, check your literacy process, if you can make the adult satisfied, the adult has its own reward, you can understand?" ”

"Understood, Lord Xie." Everyone said in unison.

But then someone shouted, "My lord, Master, the villain has a word." ”

"Say."

"There are only 1,000 copies of the book this time, so what about those who don't receive it? Can I also participate in the test after one year? ”

"The workshop will do its best to print out the books, and then you can have a copy for each person, in addition, the test is not the goal, the adults hope that you can understand the reason, I Wanghai City is now thriving, and I need everyone to work together, in addition, the adults are ready to open up the waterway around it, trade in the Central Plains and other countries, when the time comes, you will have the opportunity to go out of Wanghai City, and exchange and trade with those people, now the people of those countries are mostly barbarians, how can we wait for the Han people to fall into the prestige."

"No" everyone roared.

It turns out that the adults are still so ambitious, and they are ready to trade with various countries, and when they are ready to trade, these people think that when the time comes, they can drag a few mouthfuls, and it is not quite high-minded? Don't you bluff those barbarians into a flurry of barbarians?

Taking advantage of the warm atmosphere, Bian Ji began to send books, a thick stack, a book of poetry weighs almost five catties, this is really knowledge is weight

Every common man took the book, Bian Ji would say that he was good at reading, and then the common people came to Lin Bei and kowtowed to Lin Bei, and finally happily took the books home, for a period of time, these books will be regarded as treasures by them, when the whole city is sounding loud reading, the future development of Wanghai City can be expected.

A sergeant came to Bian Ji's side and whispered a few words, Bian Ji nodded, walked to Lin Bei's side again, and said softly: "My lord, then Zhen 13 also wants to get a copy." ”

Lin Bei nodded, indicating to him, and said, "Wait for Zhen Shisan to come and visit, I want to see him." ”

After the book is delivered, Lin Bei will not have to worry about it, the illiterate will definitely ask those who are literate to teach them, and then they will teach others, when the whole city is both a teacher and a student, the knowledge will be digested quickly.

Zhen 13 was taken to the City Lord's Mansion by the sergeant, and Zhen 13 saluted.

Lin Bei went straight to the topic: "Zhen Thirteen, are you Zhen interested in buying this papermaking and movable type printing?" ”

Zhen Shisan was shocked when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "My lord, although I am interested, I really dare not do it." ”

Lin Bei smiled, and didn't dare to do anything, which confirmed Lin Bei's previous guess, sure enough, it was the family that controlled the papermaking technology, so the Zhen family didn't dare to do it, because the Zhen family's base was in the Central Plains, and there were many families in the Central Plains, and the Zhen family didn't dare to offend those families.

Thinking of this, Lin Bei's heart was secretly refreshed, what about the world's number one grain merchant family? It's not that he needs to scruple about this and that, but he can do whatever he wants, and in comparison, this kind of life is really good.

"Since the Zhen family doesn't dare to do it, forget about this matter, let's talk about the salt matter next, you have been in charge of the salt field for dozens of days, you must have understood the salt field, and now I look at the output of the salt field in Hai City?"

Zhen Shisan said respectfully: "Lord Qiyu, with the output of the salt field today, it can produce about 10,000 catties of coarse salt every half a month, but this kind of coarse salt is of inferior quality, and the nobles will not eat it, only those poor people will eat it, if it is just this kind of salt, I am afraid that the shopkeeper will not come here to buy salt." ”

Although the output of this salt is very high, the price is several times worse than that of refined salt, and now the country's money is mostly controlled by the family, and if it is sold to ordinary people, the Zhen family has no profit at all, and the risk is too great, so Zhen Shisan has this word.

Lin Bei nodded, and asked An Zhongzhi again: "Did the salt sifter I told you that day make up?" ”

An Zhong nodded straightly: "My lord, hundreds have been made." ”

The salt sieve is a fine sieve, which is specially designed for sifting salt, and there is a lot of sand and mud in these coarse salts, so it needs to be sifted several times, and after sifting a few times, this salt is turned into brine and boiled in a pot to thicken, so that it is a better salt, although it is not as good as modern refined salt, but it can also be called high-grade salt in this era.

"Then you can send someone to sift the salt, and then the cauldron will boil again, so that Zhen Shisan can see our salt." Then Zhen 13 said: "This kind of salt is also considered to be a good grade, even if it is an official salt, I am afraid that there will not be a lot, and your Zhen family will definitely not be able to lose." ”

Before seeing the sample, Zhen 13 was still very cautious: "In this way, after the villain has seen the salt, he will send a letter to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper and the adult have an appointment in advance, presumably the shopkeeper will agree to this matter." ”

"Okay, then you go quickly."

When Zhen Thirteen turned around, Lin Bei asked him to wait, and said: "Zhen Thirteen, you already know about the salt farm, in order to prevent the matter of salt from being known by your Zhen family, your letters have to be checked by Zhongzhi these days, and I am afraid you will not be able to return to Zhen's in a short time." ”

Zhen 13 turned around and smiled bitterly: "My lord, I already know, but thank you for telling the villain frankly." ”

"Work hard, this time will not be very long, at most three years and five years, as long as you want, you can return to the Central Plains."

"Thank you, sir."

After Zhen 13 left, Bian Ji next to him asked, "My lord, why did you tell Zhen 13 about this?" Adults aren't afraid that Zhen Thirteen will have a different heart? ”

Lin Bei said with a smile: "Zhen Shisan is a smart person, rather than let him find out about this, it is better to tell him directly, which also saves a lot of trouble and feet, I confess to tell you frankly, he will consider our relationship with the Zhen family, and he will be cautious in everything, for fear of angering me." ”

"Adults have insight into people's hearts, but students are not as good as them."

The yield rate of refined salt is not high, 10,000 catties of refined salt can finally produce about 3,000 catties of refined salt, the color of this refined salt is pale white, Lin Bei tasted a little, and felt that it is not much different from the salt of later generations, Zhen 13 watched the whole process, and immediately wrote a letter to Zhen Ping, and then handed it over to An Zhongzhi generously, An Zhongzhi asked the sergeant to carefully inspect it, and then transcribed it again, so that Zhen 13 engraved Zhen's unique mark, and then sent the sergeant to send the letter away.

In the letter, Zhen Shisan only said the output of refined salt in the salt field, and the method naturally did not say, 3,000 catties of refined salt in half a month, this kind of output is not low, it is already quite high, in addition, Lin Bei is also ready to expand the scope of the salt field again, and strive to achieve the output of 5,000 catties of refined salt in half a month and 10,000 catties of refined salt in a month.

If 10,000 catties of refined salt are sold, it is enough to make a family a wealthy family, because refined salt is much more expensive than grain, Lin Bei thinks that after Zhen Ping gets the news, he will definitely come at the same time.

Subsequently, Lin Bei also asked people to build ships, these years the big ships are not easy to build, but the small boats are quite easy, the blacksmith's fire in the city has not been extinguished for a day, the iron looted from the two counties of Rinan and Jiuzhen some time ago has been melted down, and made into iron sheets, so as to facilitate shipbuilding.

Seeing that Yiqiē was developing in a good direction, An Zhongzhi came to report, saying that the iron was not enough, and the craftsmen needed to go out to find iron ore. (To be continued......)
