Lu Bu's concubine, the Cai family also came, and the people gathered around.

Although Cai is dressed in simple silk clothes, he is still radiant.

"Thank you, Mrs. Cai."

Cai said with a smile: "This is all Wen Hou's thoughts, and the concubine has not done anything." Everyone works hard, and life will definitely get better. ”

"Thank you, Madame, we will be fine."

It's hard to think about it, the salt in the sea is inexhaustible, and these people who live by the sea are used to drying salt and boiling salt. The salt produced by these people is sold to the government at a reasonable price, and the government sells it again, which is official salt.

Salt and iron are all government camps, if there is no permission from the government, it is a great sin to boil salt and dry salt without permission, and you will be beheaded.

Now with the permission of Qingzhou Thorn History, they can produce salt in a bright and bright way, and a better day is coming, isn't it?

Lu Bu pointed to the huge beach and several homeless villages.

"This huge salt farm needs to establish an effective mechanism, appoint you as the captain of the salt patrol, to manage these villages, and organize everyone to dry salt and fish?"

Cai's head was a little short-circuited: "Husband, how can a woman come out to do things?" ”

"It's okay, I didn't care if there was one before, but now I have it, I will promise you two hundred female soldiers, do it well, don't let me down."

Cai's was a little reluctant, he had just eaten a few full meals, and he was going to come out to do things again.

But she understood Lu Bu's thoughts, the eldest lady Yan was from a big family, dignified and elegant. The second wife, Li, is the daughter of Li Ru, who is also a big family, and her mother's family background is deep. The third lady Kong Rui, the daughter of Kong Rong. The little concubine Diao Chan is both talented and beautiful, she was born as an agent, and it is not simple. If the Cai family wants to gain a foothold, if they don't have a foundation, they will definitely be bullied at that time.

"Okay, the concubine body must be done."

Mrs. Cai became a lieutenant of the salt patrol, recruited 200 female soldiers, and issued swords. A group of female soldiers did not even arrange the ranks, and began to coordinate the villages.

The content of the work is also very simple, demarcate the boundaries of the salt pans in each village, the size of the salt pans, strictly prohibit them from expanding without permission, and strictly investigate the illegal salt dealers in the vicinity.

With the help of the local officials in Donglai, the salt pans are divided into many kinds, there are large salt pans, which are harvested once a year, and there are also small salt ponds on the stone chips, or small salt ponds on the stones, and the sea water is picked up by hand, and it will not take long to take the salt, but the yield is low.

Others are more primitive, boiling seawater in an iron pot and boiling salt, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Lu Bu's arrangement of these homeless villages to be salt pans was not a whim, but he had already understood that most of these people were proficient in the method of making salt, and it was relatively easy for officials to control salt, and they only needed to monopolize the purchase channels. The share of illicit salt is not high

Mrs. Cai is famous, Concubine Lu Bu, no matter who you are, you have to give a little face.

Lu Bu looked at the golden bull next to him: "Do you understand why this is arranged?" ”

Taurus can see it thoroughly, this is Lu Bu in order to limit the rights of Donglai Taishou, after all, this is the place where the benefits of Donglai's fish and salt are controlled, if there are tens of thousands of people in the salt field, then it is Donglai County that is rich and powerful, how many of these benefits can be handed over to Qingzhou, but it is not easy to say too bluntly.

"The lord is here to let these homeless fishermen have a place to stay, and rebuilding the village can not only increase income, but also stabilize the salt price in our Qingzhou, and break the monopoly of the family's big salt farm."

"Well, you're doing a good job, I'm satisfied. Salt is a long-term benefit, and there are still many places that need to be invested. Ben will like to mine gold mountains, let's go now, if it is suitable, immediately start mining. Just use the money from the mining of gold mountains to invest in the creation of more salt pans. If Jinshan can be mined, you will be appointed as the master of Jinshan Mining and be fully responsible for Jinshan mining. ”

Taurus is overjoyed, he is a strategist, a master who shakes a fan, and now that Zhang Yun has retired, Taurus has changed his court, and when he comes to Lu Bu, he wants to be reused.

Lu Bu personally commanded hundreds of elite cavalry to rush to the mountainous area in the middle of Donglai, this year the mountainous area was in a primitive state, the ancient wood wolf forest, only walking on the path. Horseback riding is strenuous.

"Taurus, how far is it?"

"Over this mountain, in the valley, it's about five or six miles."

Several cavalrymen with eagles let the eagles fly into the sky, followed by Cheng Lian beckoning more than ten cavalrymen to dismount, scouting in front like monkeys.

Not long after, the front soldiers returned.

Lu Bu turned over and dismounted: "Set up camp in place and rest the road." ”

"Yes."

The golden bull pointed to the small stream next to him: "Lord, there seems to be gold in this stream, I'll try it." ”

"Let's go."

Lu Bu also brought gold miners, who worked very sloppily, digging a dustpan of sand and digging for it.

After a while, more than a dozen catties of sand actually made three or four grams of gold, which is very amazing. According to this ratio, two thousand catties of ore will have half a catty or even more gold.

The smelting technique of gold has been developed very skillfully in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the mineral soil with such a high gold content can really be described as a golden mountain.

The golden bull was very proud, and now he was stable, which was a great credit, and immediately pointed ahead: "In the col ahead, a large amount of dog's head gold was found a few years ago, and the gold content should be even higher if you want to come there." ”

The speed at which the soldiers built the road also refreshed the Taurus's three views, with sharp axes cutting down branches and shrubs blocking the road, heavy pickaxes cutting through rocks, and shovels shoveling the slippery moss on the road.

After eating, the road was opened, and the brigade was outside the mountain.

The gold exploration team was about to move on, and Cheng Lian proposed: "Lord, the mountain road is dangerous, don't go." ”

Lu Bu laughed: "Although the general is a general, it is not impossible to walk the mountain road, and there is no problem in foot combat." ”

Immediately, Lu Bu led more than 100 people over the hill, and inside was a meadow river beach.

The young grass of early spring has already sprouted, and the river beach is full of stones washed by the river.

This kind of thing naturally didn't need Lu Bu to get started, Jin Niu and several of his prospecting craftsmen went to dig for gold in Jinsha, and dozens of soldiers went to look for dog-headed gold.

Dog's head gold is a naturally formed gold mine, which is very rare, but there are really three gold mines here, and three pieces of gold ore have been found.

Lu Bu was too happy: "With the support of the gold mine, you can pay the brothers, and this alone can take the princes down." ”

The brothers were very excited when they heard this, they originally thought that the lord was looking for gold mines to make a fortune for himself, but now it seems that he is wrong, the lord is for the team, for everyone.

Soon, the craftsman in charge of the search came over and reported to Lu Bu.

"Back to Wenhou, the amount of gold in the dog's head here will not be large, it is all the flood that has rushed down from the valley. However, the gold content in the sand is very large, and a thousand catties should be five or six taels, which is a very rich mine and a rare gold mountain. ”
