282 Three odes to his name
Wei Zhong nodded, "The old slave also thinks that it is not a problem to guarantee fifty percent." ”
What he said was by no means false, and there was a basis for it.
The output of the experimental salt pan is placed there, according to the size and output of the salt pan, combined with the suitable place for drying salt jointly found by Hei Jiawei and Lu Zhi, these things are linked together, and it is not difficult to estimate the number.
It's just that the estimated output based on this is a little scary, Wei Zhong knows it in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say more.
If this can't produce so much in the end, won't it make Wang Shangkong happy.
In the same way, it can produce three times as much salt, and Lu Zhi doesn't dare to report so much to King Yue, don't take good credit at that time, and then mess up because King Yue's psychological expectations are too high.
said that there are 30% more, but in fact there are 50% more, which is a great merit; It is said that it is 50% more, but in fact it is only 30% more, that is, if you do not complete the task, you will be punished.
"Your Majesty, there is a big court meeting tomorrow, so go to bed early."
"I can't sleep." King Yue turned around on the spot and walked towards the dormitory, "Old dog, give Gu a press, tomorrow's great court meeting is very important, and you can't do it without spirit." ”
"Yes." Wei Zhong has a massage technique that stimulates acupuncture points with internal force, which can help Yue Wang fall asleep as soon as possible, which is very useful.
…………
The next day, Hanyuan Palace.
Although it was Lu Zhi who offered salt, Lu Jian could not help but come forward on this occasion.
Lu Langzhong got a big red dress and pushed a small cart, and he was beautiful along the way, like a groom official.
There was a clay jar on the cart, which contained coarse salt from the experimental salt pan, and it was covered with a lid, and there were iron pots, gauze and other miscellaneous small objects on the side.
Lu Zhi followed behind with his hands behind his back, but he was also happy to be idle.
Lu Jianwei was a humble child, and he thought that he still needed to wait outside the hall for summons, but he didn't expect that a little eunuch would have been waiting for a long time, and he and Lu Zhi came directly to the door of the main hall all the way unimpeded.
There is no limit to the grade of the Hanyuan Palace, and Lu Jian has participated in it many times, so he said that when he was the first of this year, he also joined in the fun.
But this time is different from the past, it used to be a bystander, but now it is as an important supporting role, with lines, and even being able to show his face in front of civil and military officials, the feeling is very different, and it has a lot of face!
What a blessing from our ancestors! …… Lu Jian was excited, feeling dizzy, and his hands and feet were a little swollen.
"Let's go inside." Lu Zhi's reminder finally made Lu Jian sober up, yes, the little ancestor is still there!
The civil and military officials were waiting eagerly, and had been whispering, King Yue sat on the throne in full costume, and from time to time took out his clairvoyance to look at the door of the main hall, with a look of anticipation.
"It's coming!" Wei Zhong reminded and bowed down to stand.
When King Yue heard the reminder, he hurriedly picked up his clairvoyance to check it again, and it came, and it really came!
The hall was quiet for a moment, and the civil and military officials were silent, staring at Lu Jian intently one by one, looking at his slow cart.
It's not that Lu Jian has never seen the world, but in the face of so many high-ranking officials at once, King Yue stared at him with clairvoyance, and he was inevitably a little nervous.
He pushed the cart into the hall and stopped carefully to make sure that it would not turn over, and then he shivered and bowed back a step.
Quickly wiping the sweat from his forehead, Lu Jian barely kept his speech clear, "Lu Jian, Langzhong of the Ministry of Ministers, meet the king!" ”
"Minister Lu Zhi, meet the king!" Lu Zhi followed closely, his voice calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
He asked Lu Li, and the people of Dayue were not happy to call themselves "grass people", and even ordinary people could call themselves "ministers" when they saw the king of Yue.
"Haha, good, good to come!" King Yue couldn't help laughing twice, stretched out his right hand and beckoned, "Come, get closer, it's too far away, you can't see clearly." ”
Lu Jian was stunned for a moment and was about to step forward, but Lu Zhi hurriedly grabbed him.
How can a person in his forties not understand human speech? The king of Yue wants to see the salt, not you.
Lu Jian reacted at this time, and hurriedly pushed the cart again, he was so excited that he couldn't find the north, he really didn't know anything, and he only saw King Yue waving at him.
Lu Zhi shook his head and pulled Lu Jian behind him, "I'll do it anyway." ”
As he spoke, he opened the lid of the clay jar and filled it with a bowl full of coarse salt.
King Yue slapped his thigh, and then he figured it out, yes, how can he see it clearly if he doesn't see it in front of him?
"Quick, get that salt, and show it to Lonely."
The great eunuch Wei Zhong arched his hand, flicked his sleeves, and walked in front of Lu Zhi steadily, he stretched out his hands and shouted loudly, "Xuanwu City Lu family, Lu Zhi, the son of Lu Jian of Langzhong of the Dayue Ministry of Industry, offer salt!" ”
Lu Zhi bowed down to offer the big bowl, Wei Zhong also bowed, but did not take the bowl for the first time, but bowed three times, and then took it, and then he held the big bowl high, "Xuanwu City Lu family, Lu Zhi, the son of Lu Jian of the Dayue Ministry of Industry, offer salt!" ”
King Yue nodded with satisfaction, and secretly sighed that the old dog was still doing things safely, and he was so excited that he almost forgot to make a name for the Lu family.
Wei Zhong held the big bowl of salt in both hands, turned around and bowed to King Yue, and shouted again, "Xuanwu City Lu family, Lu Zhi, the son of Lu Jian of Langzhong of the Great Yue Ministry of Industry, offer salt!" ”
"Okay, this is a great achievement for the benefit of the country and the people!" King Yue stood up and beckoned, "Present it." ”
"Yes." Wei Zhong quickly ran back to King Yue with small steps.
Lu Jian trembled, his eyes were red, and he muttered in a low voice, "Guangzong Yaozu, really Guangzong Yaozu!" ”
Lu Zhi also felt that he had a lot of face, and he could get the treatment of "three odes to his name" at the court meeting, which was really something that could be blown for a lifetime.
…………
King Yue had already obtained the coarse salt from other sources, and had even eaten food made from it, but at this time, he still held the coarse salt presented by Lu Zhi in his hand and observed it carefully.
While observing and nodding, this observation was observed for almost half an hour, "Haha, don't even stand!" Good things can't be enjoyed alone, all of you Aiqing, come forward and take a look. ”
Xie Yan couldn't wait for a long time, so he rushed forward with an arrow step and grabbed a handful of coarse salt, "Well, the color of this salt view is pure, the salt particles are not large, and there is not much sediment in it......
After some observation and evaluation, Scholar Xie directly threw a handful of salt particles into his mouth and sucked, "Hmm, huh? Well? Phew, so salty, so salty! ”
Xie Yan searched everywhere and found that there was clean water on the cart, so he quickly filled it with a water scoop.
Lu Zhi: "??? ”
Isn't it stupid? That's salt, and a whole handful of food? Are you not afraid of death?
"It's really a first-class salt!" Xie Yan poured water, and at the same time, he could still find time to speak, which showed that he was still light.
Lu Zhi shook his head, "Scholar Xie, you take the water in your mouth, don't swallow it, or even if you drink all the bucket of water, I'm afraid it won't work." ”
Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at the water scoop in his hand, he couldn't drink it anymore.
