"At present, the salt frying method in Fengshi Village is too labor-intensive and dry firewood, so I suggest that it be improved to the salt drying method." Xu Wenshan talked eloquently and explained to Wei Laosi what the salt drying method is.

In fact, these two methods are easy to understand. The salt is in the brine, either fried or dried. Compared with the salt drying method, of course, the salt frying method is more labor-intensive, but the reason why Fengshi Village has been using it is mainly because the salt drying method has many technical problems to be solved.

To put it bluntly, how to put the brine on the ground to dry, how to keep the brine from entering the ground, how to scrape the salt from the salt pond, and how to separate the salt soil, this is the technical problem of the salt drying method.

In fact, the solution is also very simple, only need to mix some fresh water in the brine, pour the brine into the salt pond dug out manually, and after drying for a period of time, the surface layer of the salt pond will naturally form a layer of miscanthus nitrate, which will separate the brine from the ground, and all the problems of the salt drying method will be solved.

After listening to Xu Wenshan's explanation, Wei Laosi said with a look of disbelief: "It's not that I haven't tried this method before, why haven't I heard what you said?" ”

Xu Wenshan was a little impatient, how could other protagonists who crossed over as long as the tiger's body was shocked, and what they said would be believed, why did some people not believe what they said?

Wei Laosi said: "Our workers have long been accustomed to the method of decoction, the salt produced is delicate and good, and the most important thing is that our method produces salt quickly." ”

Xu Wenshan pursed his lips, what he said was not unreasonable, decoction is naturally faster than drying salt, and the quality of the salt is also better.

That's why no one listens to what they say. There is not an unbridgeable gap between the new and the old, but each has its own advantages, such as bows and arrows and arquebuses. The early arquebuses really did not have an overwhelming advantage over compound bows, and it actually took many years for firearms to widen the gap between bows and arrows.

Although the salt frying method advocated by Wei Laosi had various advantages, he still had to abandon this method because he needed manpower too much.

He also had no way to convince Wei Laosi, because he had already said before that the purpose of his coming was to "return Fengshi Village to the ordinary civilians of Fengshi Village", and if he tore his face with the natives here now, it would not be good for his reputation.

Fortunately, Wei Taigong came over to play a round: "Fourth, don't be tough, Gongzi Xu is the great benefactor of our whole village, and he got rid of the big tumor of the White Dragon Gang for us, and we should still listen to what he said." ”

Wei Laosi said unwillingly: "Daddy......"

Wei Taigong stopped him and said, "Okay, there is no need to say more, just do what Xu Gongzi said, and you will be responsible for this matter." ”

Before leaving, Wei Laosi also glanced at Xu Wenshan, Xu Wenshan knew that this matter was estimated to have a fork.

After Wei Laosi left, Wei Taigong came over to ask Xu Wenshan what "big project" he was going to do. Xu Wenshan smiled mysteriously, took Taigong Wei to the White Dragon Hall, and spread out a map on the table.

"This is ......"

"This is a map of our area." Xu Wenshan said, "The most important thing is this location on the map. ”

Wei Taigong looked at the map for a while, brushing his beard with one hand, and after a while, his hand suddenly clenched his goatee.

"If you're not mistaken, this is a heavenly lake?"

Heavenly Lake is the lake in the sky. The lake is on the top of the mountain, and the nature is like in the sky.

Xu Wenshan nodded.

Wei Taigong pulled his other sons and said happily: "Tianhu! Unexpectedly, in his lifetime, he found another heavenly lake! ”

I heard what Wei Taigong meant by the fact that he had seen the crater lake before. Wei Taigong explained that he had seen the lake on the top of the mountain when he was young. But when the lake was discovered, it was already shrinking, and after a few years, it was gradually disappearing.

Xu Wenshan nodded, the crater lake may also disappear for various reasons. I don't see any signs of shrinking in this mouth.

Xu Wenshan said: "I plan to build a diversion canal from this lake to Luhegou. ”

Wei Taigong shook his head, sighed, and said, "This is a big project. ”

Xu Wenshan saw that he didn't mean to completely veto, and asked, "Can Taigong do it?" ”

Wei Taigong smiled: "I also did water conservancy when I was young, but I don't know how much work is left now." ”

Xu Wenshan was very excited, pulled Wei Taigong, and wanted to discuss the feasibility of the project with him. Wei Taigong was also very interested in this kind of project for the benefit of the people, so he sent his son away, leaving only the girl in the house.

Mrs. Wei patted the girl on the head and said, "This is my granddaughter, she is very smart and very attentive to this aspect, can you keep her here to observe?" Xu Gongzi doesn't have to care about her, just listen to her own. ”

Xu Wenshan looked at the girl. Miss Wei looked thirteen or fourteen years old, with yellow hair hanging down and a thin body, no different from an ordinary village girl. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. ”

Then, Xu Wenshan told Wei Taigong about his map. The map he drew was a contour map, and at first he was a little worried that Wei Taigong would not be able to understand the contour line, but he didn't expect that as soon as he said it, he understood, and praised this idea as quite wonderful.

Xu Wenshan continued, and after finishing the scale and some legends on the map, Wei Taigong actually stroked his beard and admired, looking like he completely understood, and then looked at the Wei girl on the side, who also bowed slightly, and when she asked, she was able to retell Xu Wenshan's words like a stream, and it seemed that she completely understood.

This made Xu Wenshan quite discouraged, in them, he, a traverser, could not find a trace of superiority.

However, he looked back at the spider spirit standing behind him, and saw her blank expression, and his heart immediately calmed down.

Xu Wenshan came to Fengshi Village this time, and only brought one spider spirit, and Lu Ze and Saya stayed behind to take care of the house.

Just when Xu Wenshan was able to speak, Wu Yi, who was in charge of guarding, suddenly came in in a hurry and whispered: "There are robbers." ”

Xu Wenshan frowned: "How many?" ”

"I saw one or twenty, but it seems to be increasing. They also have horses. ”

Xu Wenshan's brows furrowed even tighter, he confessed his guilt to Mrs. Wei, and rushed to the gate of the village with Wu Yi.

Outside the village, there were more than a dozen riders looking at their village from a distance, still pointing with their horsewhips, followed by some robbers with mixed equipment and different clothes, who seemed to want to set up camp in the distance.

"They look like they want to camp at the door?" Wu Yi was puzzled, "Do these robbers still have such fat guts? ”

Xu Wenshan said gloomily: "They still have people. ”

It's really too easy to win, and Fengshi Village is not such an easy meat to eat.

Defeated the meat-watching tiger, and there is a group of jackals around who covet the smell of meat.

Sure enough, as Xu Wenshan expected, another group of men and horses arrived, this time it was all riders, there were thirty or forty riders, led by a banner with a winged horse painted on it.

"It's Pegasus Village!" Next to him, Zhang Aniu recognized the flag.

Xu Wenshan's eyes stared straight at the horses, and he couldn't move them.
