Next, Zhen Yan found those craftsmen to carry out various plans and layouts for the land.

He has to personally control the salt-making factory, and even how to design the factory and where the salt storage warehouse is located needs to be carefully considered.

This is the top priority of their strategy, and nothing can happen.

Yang Zhao doesn't know much about this, just leave it to Zhen Yan to take full responsibility.

After watching from the side for a while, the county magistrate finally understood what Yang Zhao was going to do, which was to use seawater to make salt.

The operation of drying salt in seawater has existed since ancient times, but Yang Zhao's salt-making technology is much better than before.

"Ming Mansion, the Zheng family is nearby, and there are also salt farms for drying salt." The prefectural order said.

"The Zheng family again?"

Yang Zhao suddenly became interested: "Do you want to go and see Brother Zhen?" ”

Zhen Yan had almost planned it, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay! ”

The prefectural commander led the way, and they walked along the coast for a while.

A fenced-off place used for drying salt appeared in front of me, and it seemed that this place was quite lively, and there were many busy people, and people often transported salt outside.

"Who are you?"

Yang Zhaogang approached the salt pan and saw a tall and thin middle-aged man at the gate, walking over very unceremoniously.

Seeing that the county order was among them, and there were officers and soldiers following, his expression changed, and his smile brightened: "It turns out that the county order is coming, what are your orders?" ”

The county magistrate introduced: "This is the Taishou of our Beihai County. ”

"Taishou?"

The middle-aged man, of course, had heard about Yang Zhao, looked at it for a while, bowed and said, "I've seen Yang Taishou." ”

He paused for a moment and asked again, "May I ask why Yang Taishou is here?" ”

Yang Zhao said casually: "I want to inspect the salt works in Beihai, can you go in and have a look?" ”

"Too much to keep inside, please!"

The middle-aged man said politely.

The Zheng family looks down on Yang Zhao, but he is just an insignificant little person under the Zheng family, and he has no strength to wrestle with Yang Zhao, so he must be polite.

The salt works are not a secret place, and their salt-making skills are not secrets, and they can be watched casually.

Walking inside, you can see that there is a large area used for drying salt, and crystals have appeared on the surface.

After looking around, Yang Zhao asked, "Are you responsible here?" ”

"Our third son is in charge."

The middle-aged man said, "The third prince is just here, Yang Taishou you wait." ”

With that, he walked to a luxurious house in the salt works.

Yang Zhao came for a while, and they only thought of it now, and invited the third prince out.

Even a small person under the Zheng family didn't take Yang Zhao seriously.

"It's too much!"

The county commander said angrily: "This person is just a slave, and when he saw that Taishou was coming, he dared not report it immediately." ”

Yang Zhao said: "It's really unpopular, who is the third son?" ”

The county order introduced: "Zheng Jun, the head of the Zheng family, has three sons, and this third son is Zheng Jun's third son, Zheng Si, who often stays in Xiami County and is responsible for the Zheng family's affairs in terms of salt, as well as the grain harvest in Xiami County. ”

The county order had just been introduced, and the middle-aged man trotted back.

"Yang Taishou is embarrassed, our third son is unwell and can't come to see him." He said.

"Then let him recuperate, let's go."

Yang Zhao did not stay any longer.

Of course, they could hear it, not because they were ill, but because they disdained to see Yang Zhao and the others, and this Zheng family really had no one in their eyes.

Even if Yang Zhao was born poor and didn't have any backstage, he was also the Taishou of Beihai, and he would directly send people away if he was sick, which made Xu Chu and them very unhappy.

Walking outside the salt field, Xu Chu said unhappily: "Lord, the third son of the Zheng family has no one in his eyes, so I will lead the troops to kill him and arrest him." ”

Zhou Cang echoed: "To catch a child of a family, why do you need to be a general? I'll just do it! ”

The lord was looked down upon, and as subordinates, they first expressed their dissatisfaction, but in the past, they would really go in directly, and they didn't need to give any affection to the Zheng family.

When the county magistrate heard this, he was frightened.

If the Zheng family is offended to death, the follow-up trouble will be very serious, and he hurriedly said: "Two generals, don't!" ”

Yang Zhao waved his hand and said, "There's no need to arrest him, let's go back to the city!" ”

Seeing that it was not early, and they did not linger outside, Yang Zhao led the team back to the city.

When he arrived in the city, the county magistrate wanted to arrange a grand reception, but Yang Zhao refused, and simply stayed in the inn.

Zhen Yan said: "We want to make and sell salt, and we will become a competitor of the Zheng family." ”

"The Zheng family is our opponent?"

Yang Zhao asked with a smile.

"It can't be!"

After Zhen Yan finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled.

Let's not talk about whether the quality of the Zheng family's salt can be the opponent of refined salt, that is, the Zhen family's huge is far from being something that the Zheng family can shake.

As long as Zhen Yan is willing, the Zheng family may not even dare to make salt, let alone selling salt.

This kind of small family, Zhen Yan still doesn't care about it.

Only the Zhen family does not dare to offend casually with the size of the Yang family and the Yuan family, and other small families are not in sight.

Back at the inn and taking a brief rest, Yang Zhao called them downstairs to prepare to eat together.

"Lord, General Xu went out to buy something just now, and he hasn't come back yet." Zhou Cang said.

Yang Zhao said: "Then don't wait for him, let's eat first." ”

With Xu Chu's strength, there would be no danger outside, and they were not worried.

But when they were about to eat, a loud noise rang out from outside the inn.

Everyone looked up and saw more than 100 people, armed with wooden sticks and other weapons, chasing a strong man, behind the strong man, there was also a middle-aged man and a young woman.

That strong man is Xu Chu.

Seeing that there was a sudden commotion here, the people passing by avoided it one after another, and of course, there were also good people who stopped to watch and wanted to see how the excitement was.

Xu Chu took the middle-aged man and woman and retreated to the inn, and the more than 100 people quickly surrounded and rushed in.

"Zhongkang, what's going on?"

Yang Zhao asked with a frown.

Xu Chu was not the one who took the initiative to cause trouble, but he was surrounded by the group of people outside, so something should have happened outside.

"Lord, I'll explain later."

To protect the two people, Xu Chu's fists and feet couldn't be used, so he first ran back to the inn and pleaded: "Please protect them." ”

Pushing the people into the inn, he shouted angrily, turned and walked over to the group, snatched a wooden stick from the enemy, and swung it vigorously, killing several people in an instant.

Now that he has no scruples, he looks murderous, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and no one can stop him.

Beat the group of people outside, constantly wailing.

"Yuanfu, help a bunch of Zhongkang." Yang Zhao said.

Zhou Cang got the order and strode out.

This group of people seems to be a lot, but their strength is not very good, and they were instantly scared by Xu Chu, and then under the joint efforts of Xu Chu and Zhou Cang, they were all put down.
