Before the invention of the salt drying method, salt production relied on the method of boiling and frying, that is, boiling seawater in a pot or frying seawater with a shallow dish to obtain salt, which was time-consuming and laborious and required to consume a lot of wood, but also required a lot of manpower, and the cost remained high.

It is a good thing to have a money printing machine, but the productivity of the two places is limited after all, once so much salt is all flooded into their own market, the result is that the inflation of Gongsun Ming's territory is amazing, and eventually leads to economic collapse, really at that time, what to dominate the world has become a big joke, in this way, how to dump the almost negligible production cost of sea salt into all forces as soon as possible has become the key to the revitalization of the economy of Youbo and Bo, in this sense, the Zheng family's allegiance to Gongsun Ming is undoubtedly a timely rain.

There is no negotiation at all, no matter what Gongsun Ming says, Zheng Cheng, who is bent on holding thick legs, has no objection, of course, Gongsun Ming will not do the stupid thing of wanting the horse to run and the horse not to eat grass, not only did he appease Zheng Cheng with kind words, but the conditions he gave him earlier will not change, and he further promised that the children of the Zheng family will be of great use in the officialdom, but Zheng Cheng will be moved.

Everything went smoothly, Gongsun Ming's mood was very good, even if the salt farm facilities were poor, he didn't take it to heart, he wanted to stay here for a few more days, but unexpectedly Shen Fei, who stayed in Jixian County, suddenly came to an urgent letter, saying that Liu Bei's subordinates were engaged in Jian Yong's arrival, and said that he had to meet Gongsun Ming in a big matter, in this regard, although Gongsun Ming was very disappreciative in his heart, he just thought that Jixian County was not in charge of the overall situation, and finally decided to rush back as soon as possible, but before leaving, he first talked to Gongsun Fan Haochang, and left two thousand troops, reorganized into the Salt Army, which was subordinate to the Military Intelligence Bureau, under the jurisdiction of Gongsun Leng, strictly controlled the surrounding area of the salt farm, and prohibited idle people from approaching, led the personal guards to rush back to Jixian overnight.

Although Liu Da'er has been a wolf for many years, he still has achieved nothing, but after all, he is recognized as the emperor's uncle today, and he has a deep old friendship with Gongsun Zhan, and his envoy came.

"Uncle Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Xuzhou Mu, and General Zuo are engaged in Langzhong Jian Yong to meet General Gongsun. ”

Jian Yongqi is about forty years old, of medium stature, with a lot of wrinkles on his official robe, it is obvious that he has not changed his clothes for several days, and he looks forward to his self-pride, and as soon as he sees the courtesy, he will move out many of Liu Bei's titles, which obviously reveals a sense of pride.

"Mr. Jian is polite, is Xuande Gong okay?"

Seeing Jian Yong's appearance, he was obviously underestimating Gongsun Ming, and all the people who were serving on the side were all disgusted, but Gongsun Ming himself didn't care at all, and returned the salute with a smile, and said a pleasant greeting.

"Xuande Gong ......"

Gongsun Ming just asked casually, but he never thought that Jian Yong's eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked up, and he actually burst into tears, as if he had suffered a shocking humiliation.

"Mr. Jane, you are ......"

Although he has long known that Jian Yong is a lobbyist-type character, but seeing that his face has changed so quickly, Gongsun Ming can't help but secretly admire that this guy is worthy of being the master of eating such a bowl of rice as a lobbyist, and his superb acting skills are really not covered, of course, he is admired in his heart, with Gongsun Ming's excellent acting skills, he will not show any flaws, I saw that Gongsun Ming's face quickly floated a layer of surprise, and he asked half of his words with worry.

"It's hard to put into words, alas......"

As soon as Gongsun Ming asked such a question, Jian Yong immediately wiped his face with his wide sleeves, took the opportunity to look left and right, and sighed, but there was no follow-up.

"You all stand down. ”

Jian Yong's hints are so obvious that Gongsun Ming will not fail to see it, and in a flash of thought, he really wants to see which play Jian Yong wants to sing, and as soon as he thought of this, he waved his hand and retreated.

"Mr. Jane, there are no outsiders here, if you have something to say, you should listen to it. ”

The attendants and others have all retreated, but Jian Yong didn't speak anymore, just wiped his tears there, as soon as this situation came out, Gongsun Ming was really unhappy in his heart, no side, Jian Yong began to play tricks as soon as he entered the door, first put on a posture of arrogance, in order to test whether Gongsun Ming had the capacity to accommodate people, and then pretended to hint that Liu Bei might have a big trouble, to test whether Gongsun Ming has friendship with Liu Bei, right now, he actually played a fishing trick again, there are too many tricks, and now under the shoulder of the military and government, how can Gongsun Ming have so much time to accompany this thing to act。

"Uncle Huang used to be with Ling Zun's classmates for several years, and then worked together for a year, and was shocked to hear that Ling Zun was killed, his heart was really painful, but he was thousands of miles away, and he couldn't do his best in front of Ling Zun's spirit. ”

Urged by Gongsun Ming like this, Jian Yong opened his mouth, but what he pulled out was all nonsense.

"Xuande Gong has a heart, and the kid is grateful. ”

Although what Jian Yong said was nonsense, but it was reasonable, Gongsun Ming couldn't help but express his gratitude, after all, the person he replaced was Gongsun Zhan's son-in-law, no matter what, he had to fulfill the filial piety of the son of man, right?

"Alas, speaking of which, Uncle Huang and Jian are also from Youzhou, and when they were the king of Bingqin in the early years, they were also in Youzhou, and now more than ten years have passed, and they have traveled all over the world, and things are wrong, I really don't know when I will be able to return to Youzhou. ”

Seeing that Gongsun Ming was always gentle and elegant, and did not show the slightest impatience, Jian Yongdang even had the intention of further temptation, and pretended to be emotional.

"The big husband should dominate the world, not thinking about the family, this one, the kid is really not as good as Xuande Gong, if there is a chance in the future, the kid should also take Xuande Gong as an example. ”

As soon as Jian Yong's words came out, the killing intent in Gongsun Ming's heart couldn't help but burst out, but the city was deep, and he didn't bring it to his face, but he just pretended not to know the subtext of Jian Yong's words, and pushed Liu Da'er with emotion on his face.

"The general is a young hero, his prestige shocks the world, and it is a great blessing that the Han family can have a general, alas, it is pitiful today...... Alas......"

Liu Da'er has now lost Xuzhou, can only live in Xudu, all the time thinking about being able to occupy another piece of territory, his hometown Youzhou is undoubtedly the most ideal place for his comeback, Jian Yong was ordered to come this time, and he was tasked with persuading Gongsun Ming to welcome Liu Bei into Youzhou, but this Gongsun Ming didn't mean that at all, and it was inevitable to be disappointed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say this matter directly, so he could only change the topic again......
