When Ruther arrived with the salt merchant, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. The salt merchant's name was Alan Gale, who came from the seaside city of Binsu, and was born stout and sturdy, more like a butcher than a salt merchant.

Alan came by train with Ruther. Of all the merchants in the West Cape of Good Hope, the one who was lucky enough to take the train at Orson Manor was the first one. When Ruther disembarked from the train with him, the man, who was clearly still in shock at the train, his face flushed and trembling with excitement, and all he said was about the big roaring iron monster.

It's shocking enough to just see the train, but what you see when you get off the train is even more shocking.

In the distance, there is a big tree that will remove the girl and run around, and he also probes his brain to observe himself, except that his body is not like a human, and his every move is completely the same as a human being. There are four-legged little tigers, little leopards, little wolves, a wide variety of small beasts all over the place, and when they thought they were small animals, there was a little tiger with a circle of golden retrievers on the tip of the tail when they saw Lu Thor, and ran straight over, and said in a mouth: "Uncle Lu Ther, Brother Xu Zheng is waiting for you in the conference hall." Bruce and Hawke are also there. The voice was crisp and good, with a very special chickage, Alan liked it on the spot, and couldn't help but want to hug him.

"Thanks, Balil. ”

Xiaohu happily ran away, and after asking Ruther, Alan knew that it was actually a little orc!

Next, the handsome and delicate elves, the equally handsome but evil demons, the body of a child, and the dwarf with the appearance of an adult. Dwarf winter melon like a dwarf, looking at Alan intently, if Xu Zheng to describe it. It will inevitably be said that he is Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden!

Alan definitely didn't know who Grandma Liu was, and he didn't know what the Grand View Garden was, but he knew that he was an eye-opener for Aosen Manor and his party. And there's definitely a lot to show off to other merchants. For example, if you have been on a train, you have seen many strange races.

Entering the hall, there were three people sitting inside. One teenager, two youths. The young man was born with black eyes, his appearance is very handsome and peculiar, his face is full of smiles, he is very amiable, and he makes people feel good at first glance. Two other youths. All of them exude a kind of luxury that has been in a high position for many years, one person looks steady and bold, and the other person looks sharp and unruly, all of them are good looks.

Looking more sedate, the older man got up and said, "I'm Bruce Samuel." Pointing to the sharp-eyed young man, he added, "He's Hawke Virgil." Finally, he pointed to the black-eyed one and said, "This is Xu Zheng." ”

Alan has been in business for many years, firstly, he is not stupid, and secondly, he is a well-informed businessman. After listening to these three sentences. Suddenly he was speechless. The origin of these three is really a bit scary, one is the eldest prince of the Seves royal family. One was the second prince of Virgil, although he had defected from Virgil. But the prince is still the prince, and this can't be changed. As for the last introduction, it is also the second prince of the Samuel family, or Xu Zheng, the star of the Aris continent with a halo of genius.

Alan suddenly stuttered, and his scalp was numb: "Princes...... Good. ”

Princes...... This title is really a bit nondescript, Xu Zheng sneered and laughed, and said, "Hello, businessmen from afar." Come, sit down and drink some water, don't be nervous, here are some ordinary friends, there is no difference between princes and commoners. ”

Alan was nervous, but he saw the eldest prince's gentle smile, the one from the Virgil family pulled his face and showed a kind smile, and Xu Zheng has always been very friendly when he laughs, which makes Alan really less nervous.

"What do you want to tell me about?"

Bruce laughed, "All the way, okay?"

Not to mention it, Alan suddenly became excited, and said: "It's really an eye-opener! Orson Manor is really as magical as the legend goes! Alas, the train is so good, fast and smooth!"

Bruce said, "Magic is magic, it's just too poor." ”

After Alan drank some water and calmed down his excitement, Bruce said again: "Please come over, do you want to ask something about salt making and selling salt, I don't know if it's convenient?"

Allen's heart was sudden, and he secretly planned in his heart which trade secrets could be told and which trade secrets could not be told. Xu Zheng laughed again, and repeated the salt boiling method he had just told the three of them. Alan looked at Xu Zheng in shock, this is the legendary magical boy? Sure enough, he seems to know everything.

After a moment's hesitation, Alan said, "It's not all like you said, the process is much more complicated than this." It's not just a matter of taking the raw materials and boiling them. ”

Xu Zheng smiled and groaned: "Is it to mine salt mud first, and water it with seawater or salt water?" Then spread it out and dry it, wait until the salt is absorbed by the salt mud, and after enough time in the sun and wind, the water vapor is steamed, the salt is attracted and precipitated, and all the salt mud is white as frost, and then it is piled up. After this series of steps, then make a utensil with filtration function, put the salt mud into it, pour it with seawater, and finally get the raw materials that can be used for boiling after filtering and penetrating? This is more than boiling with seawater or salt water, in fact, only a series of raw material processing functions are added, and the efficiency of salt production can be improved, and more salt can be produced. ”

Alan glared at Xu Zheng with a stammer: "You...... Who told you the details of salt making?"

Bruce and Hawke looked at Xu Zheng with strange eyes, but Ruther was not surprised, in his opinion, Xu Zheng himself could not be judged by common sense.

Xu Zheng smiled and said: "If I think correctly, the pot used for boiling has also been transformed, and in order to make it more convenient, it will definitely be made into a flat-bottomed square, with a depth of about one finger, right?"

Alan was completely speechless, looking at Xu Zheng with a numb scalp, secretly wondering if this person was a monster.

Xu Zheng asked some specific details carefully, and Alan planned not to say it, but listened all the way. It is already known that Xu Zheng is actually quite thorough about the means of salt production. Since the secret is no longer a secret, Alan told it carefully all the way, and Xu Zheng asked while listening. The questions raised were direct and extremely sharp, and Alan couldn't avoid them, and they all dealt with Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng sometimes sucks Allen, sometimes guesses by himself, and his ideas are novel and interesting. At first, Allen was still pouring beans in a bamboo tube, and later began to ask questions, Xu Zheng was not stingy, and he talked about what he knew. It can well be imagined. What Xu Zheng knows is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless people over a long period of time, and the places that make Allen feel that there are problems are the key problems in increasing salt production. Xu Zheng's answer was a simple and convenient solution to these problems, which surprised and delighted Allen, and benefited a lot from the problem of salt production.

As soon as I asked, I asked until eleven o'clock in the evening. At this time, the orc drivers had already rested, and the demon guys were just when they were full of energy, so they took over and continued to drive the train. Hawke invited Alan to dinner, thanked him with ten gold coins, and invited him to take the train back to the Cape of Good Hope in a beautiful manner.

Back in the meeting hall, Xu Zheng and the three of them were still there, Hawke looked at Xu Zheng with admiration, and said, "I know that you are very demonic, and you are more like a salt worker than a salt worker about the salt making land." ”

Xu Zheng smiled silently. The use of salt-containing raw materials to produce brine and remake salt. The ancient method is already there, so I guessed it myself. Find someone to confirm it, and sure enough, that's the case. And strictly speaking. The salt-making process in Aris is still in a relatively rough stage, with low production and high prices.

I found a salt merchant and asked for half the night, and there must be a reason. Bruce's heart moved, his eyebrows raised, and he suddenly asked, "Don't say that you suddenly want to make salt to sell." ”

Hawke's face lit up, Ruther had already sensitively grasped the business opportunity, and looked at Xu Zheng with surprise and joy: "Yes! This is a good way, whether you use it yourself or sell it, it is a good way! Hey, you are better than a real salt worker, this thing will definitely work!"

Hawke sucked his saliva and said with a smile: "The white salt! No, the yellow gold coins!

Xu Zheng said excitedly: "Finding Allen just confirmed my idea." Not only do I make and sell salt, but I also want to develop marine fishing and fish farming!

Ruther was very excited and said, "Good!"

Bruce thought for a moment and said, "Orson Manor is near the sea, and salt production is conveniently sourced from the nearest materials. But I've heard you and Ellen say so much, and I feel like the salt production is not high, and it's hard. You know, Orson Manor has just started, and there is no extra strength. ”

Xu Zheng said confidently: "Allen's method is really not good, the method of mining mud to make brine, and finally boiling it is too old, I use a better method, I can produce higher yields, and the salt I get is better!"

Hawke said, "Really?"

Xu Zheng nodded and said, "The salt making method in my hometown is much more clever. ”

As soon as they heard the sensitive word hometown, Bruce and Hawke had already looked at it with a mocking eye. Xu Zheng was embarrassed, touching the back of his head, pretending not to know.

The two didn't bother to bother with him, and asked, "What can you do?"

Xu Zhengdao replied to the question: "Fishing at sea requires boat ......"

Hawk said, "I have already given you Virgil's shipbuilding method. However, in my opinion, we are not strong enough to build ships in a high-level and far-reaching manner, and in the current situation, it is a bit of a waste of life and money. ”

Xu Zheng pursed his lips and said secretly: Your method is to build a warship, not a fishing boat. And my approach is much better than yours. But I can only think about this myself, and I can't say it to dampen Hawke's enthusiasm. Then he said: "That can be slowed down." I asked Nordin to go to the silk, that is, to weave nets and raise fish in the sea, and then catch them. This is done at the same time as salt production. My salt making method is not to boil salt, but to dry salt! Fish can be raised at the same time. ”

"Salt?"

"That's right!" Xu Zheng said, "I'll find someone to give it a try tomorrow." My method is only theoretically feasible, not actually operated, and needs to be verified. ”

The three of them began to glare at Xu Zheng angrily again, they haven't actually operated it, so why do you understand it so clearly? They don't know, Xu Zheng really only knows a lot in theory, and he has never really done it at all.
