"Ah Lang, but things are not going well in Yantian?" Qiao'er also saw the embarrassment on Ah Lang's face.

Ah Lang said with some annoyance, "That's right, that land is originally a sandy and muddy field. The lower layer is full of sediment, and when you stir it gently, the sand and mud will be raised, and even if the salt is sunburned, the salt will definitely be mixed with the yellow sand. ”

Even if the salt is used, it is also refined with white fine, and mixed with loess sediment.

This is obviously a tricky question.

But Awen's face was very calm, Ziyu smiled, and distributed the steamed buns into everyone's bowls, "The problem has arisen, it's useless to worry, we have to find a way to solve it." ”

Ah Lang was stunned, Ziyu smiled very calmly, and Ah Wen did not show it on his face, and he couldn't see a trace of anxiety.

Gloomy bowed her head, Qiao'er hurriedly picked up vegetables for Ah Lang, and said, "The solution is what everyone thinks of, Sister Xiaoyu, let's go and see it in the afternoon." ”

"Okay."

Ziyu nodded.

After everyone finished eating, they went to the salt field to see, and there were several onlookers from the village.

A good piece of land was divided into ten pieces by Ah Wen and Ah Lang, and the mud wall in the middle occupied a lot of land, and Jimo Village had never seen anyone divide a good acre of land into this, although this was a saline-alkali land by the sea, but it would not be so blind.

"Ah Wen, Ah Lang, you guys, can you really make salt?" Someone reached out and stirred it in the water, and the sand rose and became filthy.

Arwen frowned, and the man said again, "Don't spoil it properly, and you can't make anything of it." ”

After a while, I walked a few times, and I felt bored, so I left.

Arwen pointed to the tree on the side, "Let's go over there, dry here." ”

The sea was windy, and Ziyu followed behind Awen, "Have you thought of a way?" ”

Arwen thought for a moment, "At first, I wanted to use cut stone to lay on the ground, but it would be too expensive. "Although the cut stone here is not expensive, it is not cheap to pave this acre of land.

Ziyu looked at it carefully, "In fact, you can use mud to dig out the sand in the ground, if it's all yellow mud, it doesn't matter." ”

"Sister Xiaoyu, it will also mix together with mud." Ah Lang was puzzled.

Ziyu walked to his feet and broke a piece of dried yellow mud.

"Ah Lang, you've only seen it when there is water, and when you stir it, the mud becomes muddy, but when there is no water, salt is different from mud, and mud will dry up. Aren't you going to dry salt? Dry for a few days, I am afraid that the mud will also dry out, and the salt will not, the more the refined salt dries out, the more scattered, do not use a hard broom, just use chicken feathers to make a broom to sweep the salt floor. ”

Ah Lang frowned, "This...... Will this work? ”

"Try it." Arwen looked up, "It's a big day today, and this sea water will dry out in a while." ”

Then the four of them waited under the tree with their heads tilted together, and they happened to go and get some people over.

The sun and the wind are not deep, and Ah Lang did not use a flat pole to go to the pole, the water evaporated quickly, and after about an hour, a layer of white mist appeared on the yellow earth, interlaced in the yellow mud, like snow. The four of them hurriedly went over to take a look, because the geographical land was rough, and there was not much seawater that Ah Lang put in, so the salt crystal and mud were stuck together.

"It's salt!" Qiao'er was overjoyed, ran over directly, grabbed the white mist on the ground, put it in her mouth, turned her head and smiled at them, "It's really salt!" It's the same salt as we fry it! ”

Ah Wen grabbed a handful, "Salt crystal, I have to separate it again and continue to dry it." This salt land is not good enough, so we have to find special workers to come and press the yellow mud. ”

"Brother Awen, the two of us can do this to the ground." Ah Lang said, "Please pay the workers for silver." ”

Ah Wen looked at Ah Lang, "There is not enough time, if we can produce salt, we have to try it earlier, and then we will have to transport it to other counties to sell, and we have to come in person for the time spent on the journey." Your father will return in September, and I will be discussing your marriage with him at that time. ”

Ah Wen opened his mouth unprepared, and Ah Lang and Qiao'er both turned red.

"Brother Aven, why did you mention this all of a sudden." Qiao'er is embarrassed.

Ziyu smiled, no matter what, if he can settle Qiao'er properly and make a fortune with Jimo Village, the heaviness and guilt in his heart can only be happy.

"What are the prices for workers here?" Ziyu asked.

"Actually, we can find people in the village, and the people in the village will only receive 100 yuan a day when they are busy, and it is enough to invite two more people and give 150 yuan a day."

"If that's the case, I can go and ask Ah Zhao and Ah Fang about them, and we can start construction tomorrow." Aaron said.

After a few people discussed, Ziyu took the cup, and together with Qiao'er, picked and selected the salt crystals that were dried on the ground and put them in the cup.

Qiao'er looked at the cup full of salt, "So much? ”

If they fry it themselves, it will take more than half a day, and it will only be half a cup of salt.

Ziyu handed the salt cup to Arwen, "Oh, the future tycoon, you have found a huge business opportunity. "The corners of the eyes are crooked.

Don't forget, this acre of land is only five or five minutes, only an hour, if you wait for this salt land to mature, as long as someone watches and keeps drying every day, the yield of this salt crystal will definitely rise soon. The huge profits during this period, no need to look at it, she has already calculated it, if she moves quickly, and waits for some silver to save some silver and buy all the saline-alkali land along the nearby coast, the profits will be good at considerable profits.

Ah Wen pinched a handful of salt crystals, as long as his eyes were dried a little more and rubbed lightly, they would turn into refined salt, but this was already excellent.

pinched a handful of fish's cheeks, "Your hairpin will be back soon." His gaze swept to her hair, and there was only a simple wooden hairpin.

"By the way, ask the workers to ask for silver, each family has negotiated the price, and work for a few days, you don't have much silver there, and I still have a few dozen taels here, but I'm afraid that I will have to go to the money village in the town to exchange for dozens of copper coins."

"Tomorrow, I'm going to the carpenter to get the planks and the tub." Arwen still remembers.

"Okay, I'm going to buy a few more books. By the way, when I went to town last time, I looked at the price of horses, and tomorrow we will ask the price of the cart, if we want to transport salt, it must be a carriage, and we have to push the cart to pull the goods. Ziyu frowned, "At the beginning, we were lucky ourselves, and even if these things are sold, we have to find people, fix the seller, and the price, all of which we have to negotiate ourselves." ”

She has lived for three lifetimes.

Ah Wen listened quietly, and when she finished speaking, he said, "It's all up to you." ”

In the evening, Ah Wen went to ask people, and directly found Ah Niu, Ah Zhao, and Ah Tie. The price is 180 wen a day, which is already extremely high for Jimo Village. Everyone in the village knows that Awen is making salt fields, but now the news that salt has come out of the fields has not yet been revealed.

The three of them couldn't believe it, after all, three people, two hundred wen a day, is close to two taels of silver.

They really spent so much money to make this piece of salt? All three of them asked a lot.

Ah Lang kept silent under Ah Wen's signal, and did not leak the news that the salt had been released.

In Awen's words, salt is only the first step, the important thing is how to transport it, the first time is to transport it yourself, and if you make money, you have to get your own shipping channels. Only when salt is actually sold can it be proved that it can be turned into silver. Selling refined salt nearby will only make it cheaper and cheaper, so Arwen is not going to sell it nearby.

The next day, Ah Lang summoned three people to press the ground, ordinary land is responsible for loosening the soil, but the salt field is different, it is necessary to make the mud and the ground as tight as possible. When Ah Lang summoned the three of them, he deliberately put some seawater into the land.

Arwen and Ziyu borrowed a cart and went to town.

On the way, Ziyu said, "Wait for you to go through this experience first, if you really make money, don't continue for the time being, wait for a while." ”

"Huh?" Arwen Dao.

"Yesterday Qiao'er told me that she wants to be literate, I will buy a few books to teach her, this salt field is out of salt, you can't be busy alone, and your purpose is to bring Jimo Village to get rich together, then we have to think about it, since we want to sell salt, then there must be someone with you, I see that Ah Lang is willing to work with you, and also take Ah Lang, and one day, you leave Jimo Village, everything here, hand over to Qiao'er and Ah Lang." Ziyu said, "It turns out that you still have some manpower under your name, and when the guards find it, I will also ask them to come over to help you, since it has started, then it must be done, you also saw it yesterday, the profits are huge, the people of Jimo Village have become rich, and soon the people of other villages will also drum up, it will be sooner or later, we just took this step first." ”

"After saving some silver taels and repairing the wharf, get a big ship and transport salt by water." Arwen Dao.

"Okay." The fish should be down.

The two pushed the cart into the town, went to the carpenter to get a large bath bucket, took a wooden board, bought two hoes and put them on the cart, Ziyu went to the bookstore and picked up two books, one "Three Character Classic" and one "Hundred Family Names".

After the pick, Arwen asked, "But I'm going back." ”

The two of them pushing a large bath tub are quite conspicuous.

"Wait, let's go to the White Jade Tower." She remembered that two days ago, she asked Scarlet Jade to inquire about the news of the three guards, and she didn't know if there was any result, if Scarlet Jade was smart enough, then there should be news.

In the Baiyu Building, an old man teased the baby in swaddling clothes, with a kind face, "Yuanbao, come and laugh at grandpa." ”

The white and chubby baby grinned and was cute.

As soon as Ziyu and Ah Wen stepped into the white jade building, they saw the old man, the old man subconsciously raised his head, and immediately smiled, "Hey, what a coincidence!" ”

"The old man is so ......," Ziyu pulled Ah Wen to greet the old man first before asking the shopkeeper, "Where is your boss?" ”

"The proprietress is staring at the fish soup in the kitchen, I'm going to call ......," the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted someone.

The old man beckoned to Ziyu, "Come here, come here......"
