On the second day, Liu Fan got up to boil porridge, the meat at home was basically gone, only some wild vegetables, some better than nothing, after making the wild vegetable porridge, Liu An excitedly told Liu Fan that she had memorized all 1-10 clearly.

Liu Fan smiled and tested Liu An, and found that he was sure to be able to do it, so he gave a thumbs up and said, "Very good, let's teach you the multiplication formula, you follow me to memorize it!" ”

The formula was very long, Liu An recited it a few times without a few clicks, looked at Liu Fan in distress and said, "Brother, why is this so difficult to memorize!" ”

"Actually, it's not difficult, there are rules, it's easy to memorize if you find a pattern, just practice a few more times."

Liu An's face seemed to be wearing a mask of pain, Liu Fan laughed, patted her head and said, "Little girl, work hard!" ”

"Come on?"

"Well, it's... There are so many questions, which means to encourage you to keep trying! Liu Fan frowned and said.

Liu An nodded with a smile, and a pair of eyes turned into a small moon.

After eating the porridge, Liu An was reciting the multiplication formula, Liu Fan was staring at the salt being dried by the sun, and after it was dried, Liu Fan found a small wooden stick and hammered it a few times, and waited until the salt was broken into particles, and then wrapped it carefully with a cloth.

"I'll go into the city for a while, you can see Daddy at home, I'll go back when I go!"

Liu An nodded.

Liu Fan smiled: "Come back and bring you something delicious!" ”

Liu An said with a smile: "Then, brother, come back early!" ”

Liu Fan took the salt in his arms and strode out.

Walking in the village, I happened to meet Lin Hao, at this time Lin Hao was wearing coarse cloth clothes, leading the cow, and saw Liu Fan and smiled: "Go out?" ”

"Well, go out, go into the city to see your uncle, oh yes, Brother Lin, are you free tonight, let's talk?" Liu Fan said.

"Huh? Yes, I'll wait for you at night! Lin Hao was stunned, but agreed after a while.

When Liu Fan walked away, Lin Hao frowned and looked at Liu Fan's back and said slowly: "This kid seems to be a little different, mysterious and secretive, and I don't know what the hell is going on!" ”

......

When he came to the city, Liu Fan found He Luofeng who was cleaning.

He Luofeng was also a little surprised when he saw Liu Fan coming over, but he didn't think much about it, but said with a smile: "Here, come in and sit, have you eaten, do you want to eat some cooking cakes!" ”

"No, uncle, I came here today to discuss something!"

He Luofeng put the broom aside, clapped his hands and sat on the side, and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Liu Fan took out the salt wrapped in cloth from his arms, slowly spread it out in front of He Luofeng and said, "Uncle, how much do you think this thing is worth?" ”

He Luofeng's eyes opened, he immediately stood up, stretched out his hand to touch it, but felt that it was inappropriate, wiped his hand vigorously on his clothes, dipped his hand in his mouth and tasted it, and suddenly his salty hair was salty, and his voice became a little weird, "This is salt?" ”

"Yes, it's salt!" Liu Fan said with a smile.

"Where did you get that?"

"Uncle gave it yesterday!"

"What I'm giving you is clearly the... Oh yes, you made it, out of the salt cubes I gave you yesterday! After speaking, as if he thought of something, he immediately wrapped Liu Fan's salt again, and took Liu Fan to the backyard, which was relieved.

"How did you do it!" He Luofeng asked anxiously.

Liu Fan looked at He Luofeng with a smile and didn't answer.

He Luofeng waited for a while and didn't see Liu Fan speak, and suddenly smiled dumbly: "Okay, it's my uncle who is a little anxious!" If you don't say it, don't say it, it's a good thing! ”

"Uncle, do you think you can sell it? If you can sell as much as you want! ”

He Luofeng stood up, wandered left and right for a while, and said: "This kind of good thing is naturally sold, but my uncle doesn't dare to sell it!" ”

"Why? It's so good! He Luofeng said with a wry smile.

"Then why can't you sell it?" Liu Fan asked rhetorically.

He Luofeng stood up, a little greedy and a little helpless and said: "Salt can be sold, but the people can't sell it privately, there is a court on it, now on the market, a stone of salt is twenty Wen, the price set by the government, if the price rises privately, you and I are afraid that there will be a fatal disaster!" ”

Liu Fan's brows also furrowed, he didn't expect that the control of salt would be so serious now.

In fact, what Liu Fan didn't know was that the control of salt in the early Tang Dynasty was quite lax, and after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty's control over salt was the strictest, and the salt at that time was the most profitable.

Most of the rebel army in the last years of the Tang Dynasty were smugglers of salt, and the famous peasant rebel leaders Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi all accumulated strength by selling illicit salt, and Huang Chao even led the rebel army into Chang'an for a time.

The founders of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were mostly salt sellers, such as Wang Jian, the former founding monarch of Shu, Qian Miao, the king of Wuyue, etc., and the leaders of the peasant uprising such as Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, who rose up at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, were also born as salt lords.

After all, in ancient times, there were basically no substitutes for salt, and whoever mastered salt was, in a sense, the lifeblood of the country.

He Luofeng stomped his feet heavily and said: "I'll take this salt, you wait for my news, I'll go back!" ”

Liu Fan nodded.

He Luofeng put the salt in his arms and hurriedly walked out.

Liu Fan sat in the courtyard and waited slowly, things have come to this point, and now he doesn't think about what will happen, he is already at the bottom of his life, and all changes are rebounding upward.

Almost an hour, when Liu Fan was waiting impatiently, a team of officers and soldiers walked in, asked who Liu Fan was, and grabbed it and left.

Liu Fan's heart flew by 10,000 grass and mud horses, this rebound is a little too powerful!

Pedestrians on the road pointed and pointed, and after walking for a long time, they came to a quaint mansion with the words "Changsun Mansion" written on it.

Entering the house, someone naturally took over, and then a middle-aged man took Liu Fan into the inner house, the inner house environment is good, unlike others who dare not go to see it, but Liu Fan understands that both the building and the garden are very good, and there are quite a lot of people.

When he came to a door, the middle-aged man said, "Please! ”

Liu Fan nodded and walked in.

When I entered the door, I saw He Luofeng kneeling on the ground trembling, and there was a middle-aged man above who was holding a book in his hand and didn't look at Liu Fan, and there was Liu Fan's refined salt on the table next to the person.

After waiting for a long time, the middle-aged man sitting at the top put down the book and said slowly: "Liu Fan, heh, he used to be a rebel, followed Luo Yi to rebel, and then killed Luo Yi and made meritorious contributions, and he got free because of his merits. ”

Liu Fan looked at him and sat on the side like a tiger descending the mountain, knowing that he was not a mortal, so he said to him: "Seek wealth, too poor!" ”

The middle-aged man laughed, stood up, took the salt and said, "This is your way of seeking wealth?" ”

"Yes, there is no meat to eat at home, so I thought of this method!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Give me the recipe, and the old man won't take advantage of you!" ”

Clapping his hands, someone brought in a lot of money and cloth.

"How about 100 pieces of land, plus four acres of land, and ten horses of fine fabric?"

"Yes!" Liu Fan made another series, "The kid won't be slaughtered when he goes out, and my uncle!" ”

"Hahahaha!" The middle-aged man didn't answer, and walked out with salt.

Liu Fan stepped forward to help He Luofeng up, and found that He Luofeng's legs were a little unstable.

"Go home!" Liu Fan said indifferently.

"Oops! Home, home! He Luofeng weakly followed Liu Fan back.
