Chapter 15: The Visit of the Eldest Sun Wuji

The village is peaceful, in fact, at present, except for a small part of the entire Datang has been turbulent, many places are very peaceful, the situation is gradually stabilizing, and where the Datang Iron Cavalry passes, all rebellions are nothing.

Liu Fan is feeding the pigs, the piglets are growing faster and faster, and they are getting fatter and fatter, and recently bought two pigs, these two pigs are very moist in the pen, everyone is a pig, and they are mixed in a circle, there is nothing to bully, they are free and easy, so you pee in front of me, I will also in front of you, and then there is a bigger pig in the special place to and pee, reminding these little piglets to take care of hygiene.

Throwing the wild vegetables in, I saw the little pig chirping and chewing.

"If only I could be a pig, eat and sleep, sleep well, and eat well!"

"Why do you think like this at such a young age?"

A voice sounded beside him, and Liu Fan, who was frightened, looked at the visitor with some anger and said, "Who are you, what does it matter to you that I feed the pigs?" ”

The man was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "It's just that seeing that my young talent in the Tang Dynasty is so negative, I can't help but feel a little unhappy!" ”

"Everyone has their own life, you have yours, I have mine, what I hate in my life is that others impose ideas on others, this kind of behavior is very selfish!" Liu Fan frowned and said.

The visitor smiled and pointed to the pavilion built by Liu Fan not far away, "Let's talk?" ”

"Not available!" Liu Fan rolled his eyes, no matter who he was, he was in a good daze and was disturbed and choked with fire.

"It's about consulting your salt!" The person who came said lightly.

Liu Fan re-examined him, and saw that he was dressed ordinarily, but the materials were elegant, his appearance was decent, his face was not angry and arrogant, and he hugged his fists and said: "You have found the wrong person about salt, I don't know anything!" ”

"......" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Liu Fan with some astonishment, and then smiled dumbly.

"This official is Sun Wuji, the chief scholar of the Ministry of Officials!" Eldest Sun Wuji raised his head slightly and said.

Liu Fan said in a long series: "See the eldest grandson Shangshu!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't see the usual panic, he was a little disappointed, waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty ordered me to supervise the salt production, and now there are some episodes, and I hope that Xiao Langjun will solve my doubts!" ”

"Before the kid answers you, please prove your identity!" Liu Fan said cautiously, now this salt is a national event, if the manufacturing method is leaked from himself, he can't be held accountable, he can die, but he can't die of being brainless, and there is no bad thing about being cautious!

"Huh! Xiao Langjun has a lot of thoughts, who would dare to use the name of my eldest grandson Wuji, na! Here's my token! After speaking, he threw over a black iron token, with the word eldest grandson written on it, with such an iron lump, it is not too heavy, at least two catties.

"Xiao Langjun, do you have anything else to prove?" The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

Liu Fan suddenly changed his smiling face, this middle-aged man estimated that he was still alive when he died, and he ranked first among the ministers, so he couldn't be easily offended, so he immediately gave a salute again and said: "Please also have a large number of Lord Changsun Shangshu, and the grass people have to guard against it!" ”

"It's nice to have this heart! Can you sit down now? And it would be better to call Uncle! The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

Liu Fan hurriedly ran over first, wiped the chair with his clothes and said with a smile: "Please sit down, I'll make you a pot of tea!" ”

"No need, I just want to ask you how to increase the production of salt, there is too little now!" The eldest grandson Wuji sighed, sat on the chair and picked up the teacup to look at it carefully.

Liu Fan sat down, frowned and said: "The method I handed over to the court at the beginning was the fastest method, I really can't think of anything that needs to be improved, if it is said that improvement can only increase manpower and material resources!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't have thought of this method, but there was always an expectation in his heart that there was a better way to solve it, and he was a little disappointed when he heard what Liu Fan said, but his mentality adjusted in an instant, such a young man, it was not easy to get this thing, what was there to look forward to!

"In this way, there is really no way!"

"Dare to ask my lord, how much salt is produced per day now?"

"Less than a hundred stones?"

"Huh? How many people are messing around? Liu Fan said with some surprise, logically speaking, this should not be, no matter how little, it will not be so little.

"Nearly a thousand!"

"Huh?" Liu Fan's eyes were really surprised, nearly a thousand people produced so little in a day, there must be some problems in some links.

He immediately said, "Can you take me to see it?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned, this kind of privacy is not easy for outsiders to watch, but thinking that Liu Fan is the creator, he nodded and said, "Come with me!" ”

The two came to the salt field in a carriage, and Liu Fan looked at the scene in front of him and shattered three views, "This is your salt training field?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with some pride: "Yes, this is the achievement of this half month, what do you think?" ”

I saw that there were layers of soldiers arranged in a huge fence like a military camp, and hundreds of thatched huts were built in it, which was not the point, the point was that the thousands of people were divided into hundreds of small groups, and each group had five or six people looking at a simple filter device, which was exactly the same as the filter device built by Liu Fan in terms of size and setting.

"Alas! Convinced! Liu Fan let out a long sigh.

The eldest grandson Wuji was puzzled: "What clothes? ”

"It's okay, just sigh, I already know the problem!"

"Oh? I want to hear about it! The eldest grandson Wuji looked right.

Liu Fan said: "First, and the biggest mistake, why do you have to make your filter device so small? You could have built a bigger one, so why stick to being exactly like me? I'm just a model for your reference! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's old face flushed, everyone didn't think of such a simple question, in fact, it was not that no one thought of it, but this matter was extremely important, if there was a mistake, no one would dare to bear it, and this was the embarrassing situation today.

Liu Fan continued: "Second, why do four or five people go around one thing? This consumes a lot of manpower, it is completely possible to send salt by one person, filter by one person, dry by one person, ship by one, and do things separately, so that people are comfortable, things are simple, and it is not easy to make mistakes, otherwise these five people have their own standards, how to get salt out! ”

"I've heard of this method!" Eldest Sun Wuji frowned and pondered.

Liu Fan said with a smile: "This method has existed since ancient times, and the Qin Dynasty had an assembly line back then, but now it is less well-known to the world!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly realized that he didn't know how many books he had read about a top-level gate valve like him, and this method had indeed been seen before, but he didn't think about it as a key point.

Liu Fan Shili said: "If these two points are changed, I believe that the yield of salt will be higher a little bit!" ”

Seeing that the matter was solved, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately laughed and said: "Sure enough, the bell must be tied to the bell, today you will solve my doubts, but it can be regarded as the center of the old man's heart, very good, the old man lives in Chang'an, and he has time to walk around!" ”

Liu Fan said with a smile: "That's nature, the grass people can solve problems for the eldest grandson, that's the honor of the younger generation!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji laughed, and had to pull Liu Fan to eat, and the two ate a light meal and left.

Liu Fan looked at the back of the eldest grandson Wuji, and secretly said that it was really an old fox, and there was no substantial reward for helping him, but it could be regarded as a favor owed to himself, and he hoped that he could help himself when he was in trouble in the future, shook his head, and walked home.
