Lu's ancestral hall.

As the most profitable pillar of the family, Lu Tongren is talking to the clan elders with low eyebrows.

Facing the indifferent expressions of the clan elders, he didn't feel that he had been swept away at all.

"Uncles, you should be considerate and considerate of the juniors."

Lu Tongren smiled and said:

"There is only Lu Heng in the younger generation's family, if he does not reconcile with the Zheng family, then his family will definitely not give up."

"At that time, most of them will be exiled to Lingnan, and the few will be imprisoned for ten years or eight years......"

"If he wants to have three longs and two shorts, his nephew really won't be able to live!"

Patriarch Lu Tingxi was silent for a while.

Then, he shook his head and said:

"If you really lose half of the family business, then the Lu family will be greatly damaged, and it may not be able to recover for several years or decades."

"What the Zheng family wants is just an explanation."

"As long as our family is rich, what about being exiled to Lingnan? If you have a good relationship, Heng'er won't have any major incidents over there. ”

"Why bother?"

Lu Tongren's heart suddenly cooled by half.

What about exile in Lingnan? That's a light way to put it!

Throughout the ages, how many prisoners have been exiled to that hellish place, but there are not many of them who are well-off?

Those miasma poisonous insects in Lingnan, the big head soldiers who marched and fought passed by, and they all had to die thirty percent.

What's more, it's Lu Heng, who has been pampered since childhood!

Even if he spends money to make all the relationships better, it is just so that Lu Heng does not have to be bullied on the road, and the official can treat him better.

Wanting to be free from sin is a fool's dream!

Lu Tongren didn't believe these things, and the clan elders didn't count them in their hearts.

But they still passed it with such an understatement.

When the atmosphere is at a stalemate.

Outside the ancestral hall, a servant suddenly came in.

Lu Tongren recognized that this was the family next to his son.

The housekeeper hurried in, saluted him, and hurriedly said:

"Master, the young master and the lady are anxious to ask you to go back, saying that there is something important to discuss."

It just so happened that Lu Tongren and the clan elders hated each other, so they didn't want to stay here longer.

Hearing this, he did not hesitate to respond directly:

"Okay, I'll go back."

Immediately, Lu Tongren turned around and left, without even saying hello.

Looking at his departing back.

Patriarch Lu Tingxi shook his head:

"Lu Heng has such a monstrous disaster, I'm afraid it is all used to by him Lu Tongren."

"The Son is not the Father's fault."

"Now, he will use the property of his clan to make peace for his son."

"It's just too much spoiling!"

On the side, a clan elder hesitated:

"However, eighty or ninety percent of our Lu family's family business was earned by him."

"If he insists on saving Lu Heng, I'm afraid he will be in a hurry, and he will propose to split up ......"

"When the time comes, the trouble will be even greater."

Lu Tingxi sneered:

"Separation?"

"If you have the courage, the old man will respect him for three points."

"Lu Tongren has been a merchant who has not been able to conduct scientific research for three generations, and he also gave birth to such a fool as Lu Heng."

"Our other houses of the Lu family are still farmers, and we hope to enter the scientific examination in the future to provide protection for the family."

"If the family is separated and there is no family to take care of him, he Lu Tongren will not be able to wait for death, and the rest of the family business will be eaten to the scum within ten years!"

"Don't worry."

"In two days, the old man will come to his door again and talk about the pros and cons."

"Thinking about being able to do such a big business, Lu Tongren can still carry it."

………………

on the carriage.

Lu Tongren was angry, and his head was full of how to solve the trouble caused by his son.

So, after half an hour, he realized that the route was not quite right.

"Didn't you say you were going home to discuss things, how do you go this way?"

Lu Tongren lifted the curtain and poked his head out:

"It's not the way home."

The driver driving in front of him turned around and said:

"Master, Madame and Young Master are waiting for you in the suburbs!"

"When they went out, they brought a lot of things with them, saying they wanted to show you something over there."

It's all burning eyebrows, what else to see......

Lu Tongren was puzzled.

However, since his wife also went with her, I think she should not mess around with the evil obstacle.

With a stomach full of incomprehension and curiosity.

After another half an hour, the carriage finally stopped at a river.

Lu Tongren jumped out of the car and took a look, and found that this was a tributary of Weishui, dozens of miles away from home.

He searched everywhere and saw his wife and children on the shore.

"Master, you're here!"

Xiao Shi greeted him and said with a smile:

"Heng'er said that he has a way to make salt, and he can make a meritorious contribution to the sky, and when he enters the imperial court, he estimates that he can offset the credit."

"Why don't you give him an idea?"

Lu Tongren was shocked at the time.

His own son knows it himself.

When did Lu Heng have the ability to make such a contribution.

How come he hadn't heard of it???

"It's all at this juncture, why are you messing around with him!"

Lu Tongren shouted:

"Do you know that I went to the ancestral hall today to beg my grandfather to tell my grandmother, and even the face of my deceased father and mother was raised, but they still refused to let go."

"My hair is almost gray, and he still has the heart to take you here to enjoy the mountains and rivers!"

"Still making salt?"

"The smuggling salt is to be beheaded, you didn't tell him?"

"What a bastard!"

Xiao didn't dare to say more for a while.

In the past, her husband rarely got angry with her, and he held back everything by himself.

Today, I am afraid that I have suffered a lot of grievances in the clan.

Right now.

Lu Heng on the side walked over.

He arched his hand at the cheap daddy and said:

"Dad, you misunderstood, the child doesn't want to make private salt."

"There's just a way to turn the salt on the riverside into edible salt, and it's of better quality and higher yield than today's salt."

"This method is not hidden, but dedicated to the imperial court, and the credit is not small."

Lu Tongren covered his head, feeling that he was about to faint again.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

Then, he pointed to the crystals on the stones on both sides of the river, and said in a deep voice:

"Do you think no one has tried it before?"

"The salt on top of this is poisonous!"

"If they hadn't been forced to do anything, the people wouldn't have been able to eat."

"If you eat less, you will vomit and diarrhea. If you eat too much, you will turn purple and even eat the dead! ”

Lu Heng tilted his head:

"I know."

"So, this is the way to make these toxic salts non-toxic."

"Dad, let's not say if it can be done for the time being."

"If we can refine good salt, with the number of these salt mines in Longyou, at least the people near Chang'an will no longer lack salt to eat."

"Isn't that a blessing?"

Lu Tongren stood on the spot.

It can turn these poisonous salts into normal salts......

In the suburbs of Longyou, there are such poisonous salt mines almost everywhere!

He sneered and said:

"Yes, if it is true as you say, you will not only be able to offset it."

"It's not too much for the court to give you a title!"

"But if you can really make this thing, it's your turn?"
