Ji Yao frolicked with the gray wind in the courtyard below.

Ling Yun looked at this from the windowsill on the second floor, Ji Yao sat on the swing under the locust tree in the courtyard, swaying gently, the little wolf gray wind had grown into a big wolf at this time, the gray fur was shiny, and the limbs were strong, exceeding the weight of fifty catties. No matter which way the swing goes, Gray Wind always runs tirelessly to chase it, Ji Yao watched Gray Wind stick out his tongue and chase tirelessly and gallop, happily let out a silver bell-like laughter, and then teased the little wolf more and more with his toes from time to time. Gray Wind was very happy, and Ji Yao was also full of ease. Ling Yun suddenly came to Salt Lake City, which surprised Ji Yao. Her whole person seemed to be glowing, her face was full of laughter, and her eyes were also full of brilliance. Now she sits on the swing, wearing a blue gauze skirt, like a butterfly wearing flowers, shuttling among the flowers.

All this woman needs is a little tenderness from him, even if she stays in this small courtyard all day long, but Ling Yun can come to see her, even if it is just a happy night, a short reunion, it can make her full of joy.

I don't care about how long it lasts, I only care about what I once had. For her, it is no longer extravagant to be with her from now on, never to leave, but to be able to occupy a place in his heart, which is enough.

"Alliance leader, is this salt really taken from the salt lake?" In the small building, Tuoba Xiaodao asked with surprise, "This kind of salt is the best salt I have ever seen, even if it is green salt and anti-salt, it is inferior by three points." Is this really the salt produced in our salt lake? How much of this good salt can be harvested in a year? If we can reach 10,000 stone a year, we will make a fortune. Such salt. Even if you sell a bucket of hundreds of dollars, there are also a lot of people who buy it. If we can sell it to those wealthy families in the Central Plains, it is estimated that the price will be doubled. They will buy it too. ”

Salt is a thing, and a person only eats about ten catties of salt a year. For large families, the money for eating salt is really not worth mentioning, even if the price is more expensive, but as long as there is really this kind of high-quality snowflake salt that Ling Yun took out, not to mention a bucket of 100 yuan, it is 500 yuan a bucket. He believed he could sell it. However, Tuoba Xiaodao still has some worries in his heart, if this kind of salt zuò is too troublesome and the yield is too low. So even if you really sell a thousand dollars, there is no big profit. After all, although salt is a necessity of life, it is not consumed much. No one can eat salt as a meal, and a large amount is the key to making money.

Ling Yun stood in front of the window and watched Ji Yao downstairs. His eyes were full of tenderness.

The weather was cool. The wind was clear and the clouds were light. In June, the Central Plains is already hot, but the grassland on this dam is still as cool as spring, which is really a summer resort. Ling Yun now feels that life is very comfortable, and he was still worried about food and the army before. Worry about money, but now. Everything is gradually improving, especially he has personally tested his new salt-making method in the past few days, and it has been proved that the salt produced by this new method is very beautiful, pure white as snow, and delicate as powder, not only the appearance is excellent, the key is that the taste is also very pure, without the slightest bitterness. This kind of salt is like a work of art, and people are reluctant to eat it. Of course, Ling Yun became more and more happy after comparing the pure primitive salt mining method that relied on the sky to eat. The new salt method not only produces good quality salt, but also does not need to worry too much about the influence of the weather, and the new salt yield is extremely high. The output is high, the quality is good, and it is not affected by the weather, it is foreseeable that as long as the sales channel can be opened, then there will be a large amount of income into the account, and the future financial resources will roll in. How could Ling Yun be unhappy.

"This salt is called snowflake salt, and I just picked it from the salt lake in the past few days."

"What about the output, can the annual output reach 10,000 stones?" Tuoba Hengdao asked excitedly, the current output of the salt lake is 30,000 stone per year, if this snowflake salt can obtain one-third of the current output, it will be enough. Even if the output is only one-third of the original, then the new method of salt production must be used immediately. This snowflake salt is completely thrown out of other salt streets on the market today. Tuoba Hengdao is even thinking that they can position this snowflake salt as high-grade salt, and supply them to those aristocratic and wealthy families, taking the high-quality route, so that the price of salt will rise sharply, and at the same time, the cost of transportation can also drop sharply, even if the snowflake salt is only three times higher than the original salt, they can earn more than the original. And such a high-quality snowflake salt, bucket salt thirty wen, that is too cheap. The luxury of the aristocracy is only sold for three cents a pound, and you are embarrassed to speak? Not to mention 300 wen a catty, 30 wen a catty is not too much. Tuoba Hengdao's heart was full of copper coins at this time, and he had already counted with his fingers in his sleeve, one catty of thirty wen, that bucket was three hundred wen, one stone was three thousand wen, if ten thousand stone was produced in a year, wouldn't it be thirty million yuan, a full thirty thousand? This is a tenfold increase compared to the original 30,000 stone of salt mined a year, which was only sold for 3,000 yuan.

"Ten thousand stones?" Ling Yun shook his head. It's a pity that Tuoba knives can't be exposed to 10,000 stones, then it's difficult to make a lot of money.

However, Ling Yun continued: "10,000 stone is too little, do you know how much salt a salt worker can produce in a year if you make salt according to my new method of salt and salt field reclamation and watering?" ”

"How much?" Tuoba Knife's heart beat violently again.

"The new salt making method, 12 days can produce a period of salt, and an acre of salt field can produce 4,000 catties of salt at a time, at least 10 phases of salt can be made a year, an acre of salt can make an average of 40,000 catties of salt a year, this new method, one mu of salt field has one salt ding is enough."

"Really?" Tuoba knife now has a feeling of listening to mythological stories, one acre of salt field can produce 40,000 catties of salt a year, is this true? You must know that the salt lake rudder used to produce 30,000 stone of salt a year, which is the annual output of thousands of people. And what Ling Yun said, 30,000 stone salt, that is just the annual output of 75 people.

"I can't lie to you!" Ling Yun said with a smile.

"Then if we have a thousand acres of salt fields and a thousand salt dings, won't we be able to produce 40,000 stone of salt in a year?" Tuoba knife pointed at it, his heart was beating too hard, and he said with trembling lips after a long time.

"Wrong, a thousand salt fields and a thousand salt dings, under normal circumstances, it can produce 400,000 stones of salt a year." Ling Yun corrected.

"400,000 stone salt !!" Tuoba Knife feels like he's going crazy, how much does it cost to get 400,000 stone salt? Even if it is the original Douyan Shiwen, it must be worth 40,000 yuan. And this is snowflake salt, if you sell a bucket of salt, it will be 400,000 yuan, if you sell it more expensively, sell a bucket of salt for 200 yuan, 300 yuan, then there will be 800,000 yuan, or even 1.2 million yuan? Oh my God, get rich, get rich, get rich.

"Alliance leader, is this kind of snowflake salt all produced here?"

"Of course not." Ling Yun replied directly.

This negation poured another basin of cold water on Tuoba Xiaodao's fiery heart, "How much snowflake salt can be produced by that?" ”

Ling Yun said with a smile: "The products have to be diversified, so that they can be better sold and sold to different customers." Now I have two new kinds of salt, one is this powder salt and the other is grain salt. ‘

"Grains of salt?" Tuoba Heng knife is puzzled, how beautiful this snowflake salt is, why do you want to make granulated salt, in the past, the salt of the salt lake was even grain salt, and even most of the salt produced in the place was considered grain salt, these salt particles were of different sizes, black in color, and there were many impurities, bitter and astringent.

"Look at this, this is my new grain salt, and I'm going to name it Ice Salt." Ling Yun placed a small box of salt in front of Tuoba Knife.

When the box was opened, it was indeed a grain of salt, but it was completely different from the grain of salt in the impression of Tuoba Knife. The color of these grains of salt is snow-white and crystalline, and the grains are large, just like the crystalline grains of pomegranate seeds, and the salt can obviously feel very dry when you put it in your hand, and there is no tidal tide like the original salt full of impurities.

"Good salt, ice salt, the name is good, salt grains like ice, as beautiful as gemstones." While speaking, Tuoba Knife also grabbed two directly and threw them into his mouth, although it was full of salty taste, but he was reluctant to spit it out as if he was eating some delicious fruit.

"Snow salt, ice salt! This is the real damn salt! Tuoba Knife sighed, he occupied the salt lake for several years, and picked salt here every year, but he never thought that the salt was so beautiful and delicious, the salt was not salty with bitterness, the salt was just salty. No matter how big the salt lake is, it is very big, if there are people, you can get 10,000 acres of salt pans, and it is estimated that there is no problem. 10,000 acres, with 10,000 salt dings, wouldn't it be possible to mine 4 million stone salt in that year? At this time, he even forgot to think about it, in fact, although the salt pan watering and drying method is advanced, but it is necessary to reclaim the salt pan first, and build supporting facilities such as fresh water canals, although the salt is mined at this time, it will not immediately become money, and it has to be transported for sale, and transportation is even more troublesome and more expensive than salt production.

However, Tuoba Knife has completely ignored these now, he only knows that it used to be sold with such bitter and ugly salt, and he could earn thousands of dollars a year, and now some people have the secret recipe of snow salt and ice salt, shouldn't they make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year?

"Leader, I request that an additional army be sent at once to surround the salt lake, and to select the most loyal and reliable batch of salt to make salt, and if there are family members, all their family members must be sent to the helm. A separate inner fort was arranged in Salt Lake City, and heavy troops were sent to strictly protect them, prohibiting outsiders from contacting, and Yantian had to be guarded by special personnel to prohibit others from approaching. There is also "Tuoba Knife was a little incoherent with excitement, but the central meaning of the words was obvious, this new method of pouring salt in the salt field, as well as the processing and refining method of snow salt and ice salt, must be strictly confidential, and while establishing a salt factory to recruit salt ding, it is necessary to isolate the salt field and the salt ding separately, prohibiting others from touching these secrets, and even it is necessary to send the family members of these salt ding to the general rudder as hostages to prevent the salt ding from leaking secrets.

Ling Yun was still very satisfied with Tuoba Knife's keen awareness, "Knife, I plan to hand over the affairs of drying salt and refining and processing salt in the salt field to you in the future, how about it, are you confident?" ”

"Yes!" Tuoba Knife is simply flattered, such an important matter, Ling Yun did not give it to Liu Ying and He Lanhong, but handed it over to himself, what a lot of trust this must be. Suddenly, in his heart, there was even a feeling that the son of a soldier was dying for his son. "Alliance leader, how many acres of salt fields should we build?"

"Let's get a thousand acres first, and you can choose from the young people of Salt Lake Fort." Ling Yun said after a moment of silence. (To be continued......)
