Jin An Conspiracy Chapter 17 The Dangerous Goldfinger
Zhang Jian really didn't play any tricks in Shewei Port, he came to Shewei Port and found that this place is indeed not a good salt farm, at least not from the current point of view, there is a shortage of materials here, if the cost of boiling salt is huge. But these problems are not difficult for Zhang Jian, because Zhang Jian's grandfather is an old salt worker, although this craft has been broken by Zhang Jian's father's generation, but Zhang Jian has been around his grandfather since he was a child, and he can't be said to be proficient or know everything.
The process of drying salt and boiling salt is different, but these old salt workers who have lived by the sea for generations have rich experience, especially the perception of the weather, which is exactly what Zhang Jian needs. During this time, Zhang Jian built a salt pond in Shewei Port and repeatedly experimented, in order to keep it secret, he asked Wei Ze to strictly defend Shewei Port in the name of suppressing pirates, and Zhang Jian kindly named this plan "End Bowl and Smash Pot".
On the salt field of Shewei Port, Zhang Jian wore a hat and watched intently on the salt field, "Uncle Wang, do you think there will be rain in the next few days?" ”
Uncle Wang in Zhang Jian's mouth is the oldest and most experienced old salt worker in this salt farm, and he is very relied on by Zhang Jian. After listening to Zhang Jian's inquiry, Uncle Wang looked up at the sky and hesitated: "I can't guarantee that I will be old for a few days, but tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will definitely be sunny." ”
"Two days, that's enough."
Uncle Wang cast an admiring look at Zhang Jian: "Gongzi is really a god, he has been boiling salt all his life and it is the first time he has seen such salt making. ”
Zhang Jianqi said: "Yizhou actually has this salt drying method? ”
Uncle Wang smiled and said: "Gongzi misunderstood, although its name is salt, but it is completely different from Gongzi, you need to introduce seawater into the wooden trough and then dry the salt in the sun. ”
I see, Zhang Jian nodded reassuringly, after more than half a month of trial and error, it is basically done. Thinking about Wu Tong's questioning face and later shock when he and Wu Yue first arrived at Shewei Port, and finally said that he would cut off the head of the chicken with himself, it was not funny. Once this method is successful, it will definitely be an epoch-making change for the current salt industry. Mo said that it was Wu Tong, even if he was not very interested in business, Wu Yue couldn't help but be surprised, as the son of the Wu family, he was taught from all sides since he was a child, how could he not know the weight of this method, and now Wu Yue had to let go of his inner contempt and began to re-examine this world's son.
Afterwards, Wu Yue asked Zhang Jian in private: "This method is the law of huge profits, and Dao Zhen gave it so lightly, I really don't understand." ”
Zhang Jian didn't know about Wu Yue's question, but this golden finger was not opened just as he said it, and a mistake was a disaster. So in the end, Zhang Jian just smiled indifferently and replied: "Ziyuan is right, this salt drying method is a method of huge profits, but if it is not appropriate, it is a knife on the neck, and it is just right at this moment." ”
Zhang Jian was exchanging experiences with Uncle Wang on the edge of Yantian, and Wu Tong ran over while shouting not far away, "Dao Zhen, how is it?" Is it done this time? As he spoke, he stared down at the salt pan.
Zhang Jian said with a smile: "As long as the weather has not changed in the past two days, there will be no accidents to catch salt." ”
Wu Tong now looks at Zhang Jian is really closer than seeing his own father, although he is a member of the Wu family, he is a sideline, otherwise he would not be arranged to do this place where birds don't, I thought that this life would be like this, which Cheng wanted to be revitalized by this young man in his twenties. At first, he still sneered at this young man, but when the salt of the white flowers in the salt pan piled up, he froze, although the first few times he failed by a millimeter, but Wu informed that this young man could really do it.
"Daozhen!"
Zhang Jian looked at Wu Tong's expression and felt a little scared, as if he was going to come up and swallow himself. "Fourth Brother Wu, don't get excited. Although I am sure this time, as the saying goes, the good basket weaving is important in the mouth, and in the remaining days, you must inform the nearby villagers to cheer up and not a single bird can be put in. ”
Wu Tong nodded fiercely, patted his chest and promised: "Daozhen, don't worry, I will definitely strengthen my guard in the next few days, not to mention a bird, even a fly, don't think about coming in." ”
Zhang Jian is still relieved about Wu Tong's ability to do things, and now that there is something in the bowl, it is time to study how to smash the pot.
Fengxian is quiet and weird, but Weiji in Linchuan is a head or two big at this time. After the Fuzhou Rebellion, Fuzhou Taishou He Ju was held accountable for the crime of negligence and danger of falling into the city, and Wei Ji remembered that his political achievements over the years were okay, so he interceded for him and only dismissed him.
In view of the complicated situation in Fuzhou, Wei Ji asked Lu Qingyuan to take charge of Fuzhou affairs on behalf of the army as a consultant to preside over disaster relief matters, after Lu Qingyuan took office, there were thousands of stone grain and rice collected by the Qi government and the relief grain transported from various counties and counties, and the disaster situation has been basically controlled, and the grain and rice that Jiangling Wang Weijie promised to support were also reluctantly transported.
Fuzhou was established, but the matter after the disaster was heating up, and some people in the court impeached Linchuan Wang Weiji for opening an official warehouse privately without waiting for his will, but this matter did not set off any waves, and how could he be embarrassed for his son and grandson with the temperament of Emperor Taiqing's defense. But this time, the Nanling mountain bandits took advantage of the disaster and almost captured a county office, and Wei Ji, as the assassin of Yuezhou, was inevitably reprimanded, but fortunately, this chaos was not implicated too wide and was strangled, which was a blessing in misfortune.
Although the affairs of the court have come to an end, but the most troublesome thing for Wei Ji is the problem of post-disaster reconstruction and resettlement, repairing the river with money to settle the people with money and scattering money have to spend money, with the current financial situation in Yuezhou, this is to Wei Ji's old life, Taiqing Emperor Wei Yuan is a big stroke of the 'money self-raised', Wei Ji is to complain and dare not only think of his own way. It is precisely because of these anxious worries that Wei Ji has no time to take care of anything else.
Shewei Port, Feng County
"Haha!" Uncle Wang looked at the salt piled up like a hill and plunged into it all at once, and his hands were full of hands and rubbed it on his face, and his joy was indescribable.
Wu Tong also knelt beside the salt pile and grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, his expression was bared and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, Zhang Jian thought he was salty.
"It's done, it's done!" Looking at the people with different expressions but all ecstatic, Zhang Jian also muttered with relief, 'It's done'.
"This time I'm going to make the five of them kneel in front of me and beg for mercy, hahaha."
Zhang Jian saw that Wu Tong was a little overjoyed, and hurriedly persuaded: "Fourth Brother Wu, the salt drying method is still in the preliminary stage, and confidentiality is very important, remember not to make a noise." We have to wait until we have accumulated enough strength before we can attack the enemy. ”
Wu Tong smiled: "I understand, I understand." I've had enough of their birdie gas over the years, and I'm not happy to get over it first. ”
Zhang Jian nodded and said: "That's good, I have explained this salt making method to Uncle Wang and several salt workers before and after, and then I will find a suitable place to develop the salt field and increase production." ”
Wu Tong promised: "If you are really honest, you will put one hundred and twenty hearts, and I, Wu Tong, will never miss your big thing." ”
After explaining in Shewei Port, Zhang Jian and Wu Yue returned to the county summer, and on the way, they did not forget to go to the military camp and Wu Jian repeatedly told the guards.
"Daozhen, cousin, you're finally back. Hey! Dao Zhen, why did you become so dark? The two of them have been gone for more than half a month, and Wei Ze was very happy when he saw the two of them coming back, and he couldn't help but laugh and joke when he saw that Zhang Jian was tanned.
Zhang Jian rolled her eyes: "I can also be regarded as tanning on duty, and when the time comes, I will have to compensate me a little." ”
Wu Yuewei laughed.
After the three of them entered the inner hall and retreated, Wei Ze hurriedly asked how the salt was doing. Zhang Jian and Wu Yue looked at each other and smiled: "It's done!" ”
Wei Ze was just about to cheer, but when he thought about the occasion, he still pressed it down, and said excitedly: "Brother Zhang can dedicate such a good law, after the matter is completed, I will definitely show you merit in front of my father." ”
Zhang Jian smiled faintly: "I just hope that this matter can go smoothly and nothing goes wrong." ”
Wei Ze asked, "What else is there to worry about?" ”
Zhang Jian sighed and said in a long voice: "The most important thing now is to keep it secret, of course, it is still very safe to have Fourth Brother Wu and Zili here." The second is the issue of safety, Cheng Hong's gang is not a good type, and it is difficult to say whether they will jump over the wall in a hurry. The last is how to let Cheng Hong into the set, if it is just a hard hit, it will inevitably not kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, so we have to take advantage of this time of salt making to plan how to make the layout perfect. ”
Wu Yue pursed his lips and nodded: "Secrecy is not a problem, Shewei Port is my Wu family's industry, usually there is a lot of kindness, and Zili leads the county soldiers to deploy defense, and safety is not a problem." And the outside world doesn't pay much attention to us, and Daozhen's hand is afraid that they can't think of it if they want to break their heads. As for whether they will jump over the wall in a hurry in the end, Dao is really worried about the recurrence of the case. You can rest assured that since the last case of the library, I have transferred a lot of good hands, and they can use it to trick my Wu family, how can it be a soft persimmon. ”
Wei Zedao: "My cousin is right, we just need to plan how to make Cheng Hong doom again." ”
Wu Yue said: "When the salt pans of Shewei Port are ready, we will call Fourth Brother Wu here, and everyone will discuss it." ”
At this time, someone outside the door said: "Several adults, there is a person outside the county who claims to be a friend of Lord Zhang and wants to ask to see Lord Zhang." ”
