The dish is not sumptuous, a stewed tarpon, a plate of boiled beans mixed with shredded radish, a plate of fried beans coupled, a plate of fried small fish and shrimp, a plate of fried eggs, and a plate of stewed tofu.

A few people are not so particular, a large round table, a few benches, all on the table. Tian Fan found himself very lucky, most of the people he met were people who regarded etiquette as nothing. Siyu and Xing'er were also familiar with Tian Fan's style, and they went to the table disapprehantly. The two mothers-in-law didn't dare, so they obediently went to eat elsewhere.

Siyu saw that Tian Fan was still absent-minded when he was eating, she knocked on his bowl with the bamboo chopsticks in her hand and said, "Hurry up and eat, don't think about it!" Be careful what it gets in your nose! ”

Hui'er also looked at him worriedly, and said softly: "You can't think of a way like this, why don't I accompany you to Hailing tomorrow to have a look, maybe you can come up with a way there?" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Okay, it's time to take a look, I can't think of a good way to do it behind closed doors!" The words came out, but Tian Fan was still a little absent-minded.

Siyu said angrily: "Boguang, you are so absent-minded, can you taste the taste of food?" If you do this again, I won't cook for you again! ”

Tian Fan hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, hehe, it's delicious!" With that, he shoved a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth. Hui'er and Siyu couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw the sweetness of his food, and competed to add vegetables to his bowl.

Tian Fan put down his worries, ate with the three girls talking and laughing, and told a joke from time to time, making them so funny that they almost couldn't even eat.

Siyu's face was red with a smile, and he said coquettishly: "Boguang, don't say it, hahaha, I'm laughing to death!" Tian Fan listened, and stopped telling jokes. After a while, he asked, "Siyu, what are your plans for the future?" ”

Siyu asked suspiciously, "What are your plans?" Tian Fan said: "I mean, you won't be in Guangling in the future, right?" Let's go to Xiapi and have a look! ”

Siyu thought for a while and said, "It's okay, well, I haven't seen your parents for many years, so it's okay to go and see!" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Simply, you moved the pharmacy to Xiapi, I have some medical matters, I want to discuss with you!" ”

Si Yu was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he nodded and said, "It's okay!" To be honest, since I saw your sterilization, bandaging and other methods, I have a little ...... of your medical skills I'm curious about the medicine stuff you said! It's okay to move to Xiapi, but I live in Guangling for some days every year, and some patients still can't do without me! ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Whatever you want!" Hehe, as long as you promise to go to Xiapi, the rest is up to you! Siyu smiled and stopped talking.

Hui'er is very unhappy, yes, Tian Fan, a pervert, came to Guangling and earned back a woman! After she and Tian Fan left Siyu's house, this girl twisted Tian Fan's waist and eyes without being unfamiliar, and Tian Fan, who was caught off guard, screamed in pain! In fact, Tian Fan really didn't think about it, he just thought that he had a lot of knowledge about medicine and wanted to talk to Siyu, which was not something that could be done in a day or two, so he persuaded Siyu to go down. It's not that he knows a lot about medicine, but what he knows, Siyu may not be able to understand, so he must make long-term plans!

Along the way, Hui'er ignored Tian Fan's questioning, Tian Fan had no way to deal with her young lady's temper! But you can't be angry, the experience I have learned from later generations is that when a woman is angry, she must not be reasonable, and being reasonable can only make things worse! The most correct measure is to apologize first, and when the other party is angry, the two will analyze who is right and who is wrong, and he has been abiding by this truth. It's just that he never remembered that this is not modern, this is ancient times with men as the sky! Even if Hui'er finally marries him, she is just a concubine, and the men of that era will not be wrong, and it will always be the wife who is wrong! As for concubines, what is a concubine? ………,

The next day, Tian Fan took Hui'er and Tian Hu, who had recovered their mood, and a group of 12 people left Guangling and rushed to Hailing. The most convenient way to get from Guangling to Hailing is to take a boat, as mentioned above, in order to transport salt, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, dug a canal between the two places. In addition to transporting salt, another function of the exhibition is to transport grain.

Guangling is surrounded by hilly areas and produces relatively little grain, while the Hailing area is a large plain. Hailing is a large county, and its overall topography is high in the south and low in the north, with plains in the south and dense rivers in the north. This place is very suitable for planting, and the yield of plants such as rice and millet is good. Tian Fan was a little puzzled, why did Erdan say that his family boiled salt for his business? After asking the locals, he learned that Hailing was close to the sea, and many people lived by the sea, and the land by the sea was very salty due to seawater infiltration, so it could not be cultivated at all.

After further understanding, Tian Fan had a deeper understanding of the branch of the common people in Guangling who were engaged in boiling salt. Generally speaking, the people by the sea are boiling salt for their business! Starting from the eastern part of Hailing and ending in Sheyang on the northern coast, there are people boiling salt. Sheyang County, in particular, is on the seaside, and the people can only fish for a living, except for boiling salt, and there are about 200,000 people in this area.

Tian Fan couldn't help but scratch his head a little, the seaside is not suitable for growing crops, and then the salt boiling industry that the people rely on for a living will be wasted, so what should they do? It is located in the south of the Huai River, the air humidity is relatively large, and the rainfall is large, so it is very difficult to dry salt. Catch fish? There are really not many people who can afford to fish, mainly because there are not so many boats! Hey, I'm worried!

Wait, the ship? What if we could get rid of the ship?

With a twist of his head, he came up with an idea! If Liu Bei had come forward and provided boats to the local people to fish, would it have solved the problem? There is no need to worry about the depletion of marine resources, just the 100,000 or 200,000 people on the seashore, fishing for 10,000 years, the number of fish will not decrease.

After thinking about it, he collected his mood and quickly returned to Guangling.

Tian Fan now lives in Zhao Yu's house, and both of them are official people, so it is more appropriate. If he still lives in Xu Fu's house, it will definitely make some people who are also in the salt industry uneasy, he won't give the Xu family a cheaper price, right? Besides, he didn't want to owe the Xu family too much favor, otherwise there would be some things that would be difficult to do in the future.

When the group came to Zhao Yu's house, they saw a car, to be exact, a carriage carrying goods. The wagons were full of jars and jars. The jar is smaller than the wine, but it doesn't look like it's weighing at all.

The steward who commanded the people to transport the jar knew Tian Fan, and when he saw Tian Fan and his party, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and said, "Lord Tian, are you back so soon?" ”

Tian Fan nodded, pointed to the carriage and asked, "Steward Xu, what is transported in the carriage?" ”

The steward replied with a smile: "Oh, if you go back to your lordship, there is salt in the jar!" These are the salts used to eat in the house, and some are used by the owners and wives of the house to clean their mouths! ”

Tian Fan asked curiously: "I don't think this packaging is like locally produced salt, isn't the local salt used by Zhao Taishou's family?" ”

The steward smiled and said: "Hehe, adults don't know, the taste of locally produced salt is bitter, not as good as the well salt produced in the salt wells in the Sichuan and Shu areas, so everyone with status uses well salt!" There is also green salt for purification, which is also produced in Sichuan and Shu, and it is the best of the well salt! ”

Tian Fan was stunned after hearing this! Suddenly, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Hehe, great! He took the steward's hand and said, "Steward Xu, you have helped me solve a big problem!" Hehe, I'll ask Zhao Taishou to give you a promotion and a salary increase in a while! Hehe......" After speaking, he waved his hand at Hui'er and said, "Go!" See Zhao Taishou go! ”…,

Anyway, no matter how Hui'er and the others reacted, he should enter the Zhao Mansion first.

There was still a long way to go from the main hall, so he shouted, "Faith! You have to give Steward Xu a promotion and a raise, hahaha, he can solve a big problem for us! As he spoke, he went into the house, and when he looked around, he saw two strangers sitting in the room.

He nodded at the two of them, rushed to Zhao Yu's side in a few steps, took his hand and said excitedly: "Zhengxin!" I've figured it out! Hehe, you have to give Steward Xu a raise, do you hear! The three people in the room all looked at Tian Fan, who was overly excited, in a daze, and it took a long time before Zhao Yu reacted.

He took Tian Fan's hand and said, "Boguang, let's talk about the salary increase!" You meet the two great sages first, hehe, they are specially here to see you! Tian Fan was a little surprised, turned around and looked at the two strangers carefully, and the two also looked at Tian Fan with a smile.

Both of them are dressed as scribes, the one on the left has a square face, a nose like a Xuandan and a star, a slight beard, a white face, an amiable smile, and a tall figure, Tian Fan is estimated to be about eight feet. The person on the right looked very great, his eyes were bright, and he looked at Tian Fan curiously.

Zhao Yu first introduced the one on the left, and he said: "This is Lu Su Lu Zijing, a native of Dongcheng, who is good at fencing, riding and shooting, is heroic, and has a good reputation!" "Then introduce the one on the right, "This is Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, a man of virtue, who has been known as a talented person since he was a child!" Both of these people came to visit you in the name of Boguang! Hehe, Boguang...... Boguang, what's wrong with you? ”

What else could have happened? Silly! What are these two characters? That's the most strategically capable sage in the Three Kingdoms! I never thought that in this situation, we would meet like this!

Tian Fan was woken up by Zhao Yu, and hurriedly apologized: "Brother Ziyang, Brother Zijing, Tian Fan is out of shape, don't blame the rudeness!" ”

The two hurriedly returned the salute, they didn't dare to hold up in front of the "national soldier" in the mouth of Old Master Zheng Xuan! Lu Su smiled and said: "Boguang don't have to worry too much, don't blame those who don't know, besides, the two of us came to visit you, but we didn't say hello in advance, hehe, it's a little abrupt!" ”

Liu Ye also nodded and said, "Yes, Boguang doesn't have to be like this!" After speaking, he smashed his mouth and asked curiously: "I don't know what Boguang is so happy about, hehe, so that he is a little out of shape?" ”

Tian Fan saw that the two of them did not blame themselves, so he put his mind at ease. Hearing Liu Ye ask, he hurriedly motioned for a few people to sit down, and then slowly spoke: "Since the two of you asked, then Fan will talk about it!" It's just that this matter is confidential, please don't spread it! The two looked at each other and nodded slowly.

Tian Fan said carefully: "The two of you, hehe, Zhengxin probably knows, a few days ago, I offered a plan to the lord, with a simple method, you can get a large amount of salt, the cost of which is less than one-tenth of the salt produced in Guangling, which is also the fundamental reason why the salt merchants in Guangling cooperate with my lord to exterminate Zhenrong. ”
