Seeing the eldest brother's happy look, Su Ming became worried.

"Big brother, this time Lord Qianhu spit out so many things, I'm afraid he will hate us even more." Su Ming shook his head and said.

"This shouldn't be... This time, Senno-sama treated me very well, and I think he may have seen that our Erweibao has the strength to kill the Japanese and wanted to really win us over.

Now that the pressure on the Japanese is increasing, he can give us so many things this time, and he also wants to strengthen the strength of the entire salt factory, after all, it is also good for him if we hold the area of Weizhuang. Su Ren replied with some uncertainty.

"If this matter is not known to the commander and the entire town, how could his surname Yao come up with so many things?

We all know that there is going to be an earthquake in the officialdom of Songjiang Prefecture, so can the commander not know it? Could Yao Zonghan not notice it? At this time, no one in charge dared to mess around in the open, especially to capture the hearts of the people and military households, if his surname Yao did not deal with this matter well, the commander would inevitably pick his skin. Su Ming looked at the eldest brother and analyzed.

"What are we going to do, so you say?" Su Ren asked in surprise.

"What was before is still what is now, don't agree to any request from the surname Yao, those officials are not comparable to ordinary people, the closer you rush, the faster you will die, and they may not even look at you after you die."

By the way, has the reward for killing the pirates come down? This time, the town shouldn't be withholding our Kill Rewards. Su Ming asked.

"Yes, the commander gave it directly, and the thirteen corpses he let people verify were indeed the Japanese Kou's, so he directly gave me 390 taels of silver, and the reward for killing the Japanese Kou has been increased again, and the reward for killing a Japanese Kou has become 30 taels." Su Ren couldn't help but be excited in his heart.

"Killing a widow will reward 15 taels of silver, this is what the surname Yao told us two years ago, when did it rise to 30 taels, if it wasn't for the eldest brother you made such a big move, I don't know until now.

This time, in order to protect himself from making trouble, the surnamed Yao also made a cost. It's good that we don't want to get involved in the power grabs in Jinshanwei Town, and it's good to get so many things.

After lunch, I plan to go to the salt factory, the new salt pan can be put into use, I have to go over and watch, and I plan to complete the construction and transformation of the second new salt pan in half a month, so that our salt production can be increased rapidly next month. Su Ming said.

"Well, I asked Lord Cao Qi to go with you, I thought about it for a long time when I came back, you will have to worry more about Yantian in the future, we need to train more, and try to improve our combat effectiveness so that we can kill more Japanese robbers.

In the future, we will always arrange for two small flags to patrol the beach in turn, and if we encounter pirates, everyone in the salt works will return to Erweibao as quickly as yesterday, and we will choose to fight or defend according to the number of pirates. "Su Ren has tasted the sweetness of killing the Japanese Invaders, and now he can't wait to improve the combat power of his troops, and he is now very confident.

It was Su Ren's duty to improve the combat effectiveness of Wei Zhuang's military households, and now Erwei Fort has enough food, and the armor can already equip all the banner owners and small banners, which is much stronger than before, and he needs to convert these into combat effectiveness as soon as possible!

And Su Ming is his younger brother, let him be in charge of the most important salt factory in Weizhuang, and Su Ren's own influence in Weizhuang will become higher and higher.

Su Ming's ability can also increase the production of the salt farm, and if he has a pistol, he only needs to prepare a military horse for Su Ming, even if the Japanese invade the landing, it is impossible to keep him.

"Okay, then follow what the eldest brother said. In the past few days, I plan to rebuild the manor of the salt factory, and after the family has built it, the green salt will be purified in the salt factory, and the green salt produced in the future will be purified directly, and there will be no trouble as before. Su Ming felt that this was fine.

"Hmmm! If you need anything, just ask, our Erweibao is not short of money now, and I plan to pay the military salary owed by the soldiers this afternoon, this is yours..."Su Ren said and took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Su Ming.

Su Ming took it and opened it and saw that there was a lot of silver inside, and weighed it a little, about a hundred taels.

"Why did you give me so much silver?" Su Ming asked puzzled.

"Our Erweibao is also rewarded for meritorious service, and punishment must be imposed for mistakes. Yesterday's Japanese robbers had 7 people killed by you, and the other two were shot and wounded by you, and the direct killing of 7 Japanese robbers was rewarded with 15 taels of silver each, and two of them were rewarded with 5 taels of silver each, a total of 115 taels, which you deserved. Su Ren said.

If Su Ren followed Yao Qianhu to kill the enemy, then half of the 30 taels of silver that Su Ming received from killing the Japanese would belong to himself, and half would be redistributed by Yao Qianhu, Su Ren could only get his own reward for killing the enemy, as well as the silver taels redistributed by Lord Yao.

After taking the money, Su Ming asked Tie Zhu to take some of the workers who boiled salt to the salt factory first, although the Japanese invaded their village yesterday, they did not destroy the pot where they boiled salt.

The Japanese also know that destroying the cauldron will not do them any good, the salt factory pot will produce less salt, and they will have less salt to grab next time, if the salt factory cannot survive and everyone flees from here, then they will have less harvest next time they go ashore, and without these soldiers with low combat effectiveness, it is likely that they will directly encounter the elite of Jinshanwei.

Su Zhe led people to pull hundreds of catties of cement out of the warehouse behind the fort, this time when they arrived at Yantian, they wanted to speed up the construction of Yantian, and they had to build more houses, and now more than 50 people were crowded into more than ten rooms in the village, which was too crowded.

Seeing that the eldest brother had already led people to start training behind the fort, Su Ming and Su Zhe rode out of Erwei Castle and came to the salt factory, and the iron pillar had already led people to start boiling salt.

Yesterday afternoon, before the arrival of the Japanese Kou, the new salt pan and the old salt pan had been dug up, and now everyone took salt water in other salt pans, yesterday's old salt pan water level has been restored, and the connection with the sea has been broken, and when his salt water is reduced to a certain level, the connection is open to full water, and then the connection is broken.

At least three times, the salt water here can be boiled salt, and each time the sea water enters the sea water 4 to 10 days apart, if it is summer, it may take two days to enter the sea water again, such a salt pan can generally take salt water 1 to 2 times a month.

Looking at the new salt pan, although in less than a day, the water level has dropped significantly. Su Ming tasted the saltiness, it was much saltier than yesterday, and the evaporation rate of this seawater was at least three times that of the old salt pan.

It stands to reason that such a saltiness can barely be used to boil salt, but Su Ming is not in a hurry, he asked Tie Zhu to command the personnel to go to other salt fields to go to the salt water, and wait here for a few more days.

There were more than 20 people who boiled salt, more than 10 people who picked up salt water, and about 20 people in the salt field, and Su Ming sent half of them to dig the field in the No. 2 salt field, and the other half he asked Su Zhe to take him to build a house outside the village.

"Our salt factory will definitely be expanded in the future, and now we need to build a new yard at the same time, we can't stop the salt production work, although it is still early at the end of the month, everyone can't be careless, and everyone knows the result if they can't complete the task.

But how big the new salt pans will be on the ground, we still verify. That's what I think of the new salt plant... It is made up of a ring of houses, all of which have 48 rooms and can accommodate 200 people.

The doors and windows of each house are facing inward, and the exterior is a whole wall with a secret opening, which can be opened to shoot bows and arrows against enemies. The houses were made of cement and stone, three meters high, and some barbed wire and nails were placed on the outer walls to prevent the enemy from climbing the fort walls.

The interior building is basically unchanged, but everything will be redesigned and rebuilt when the new courtyard is completed. A new purification room, a warehouse, will be built in the new castle, so that we will have the ability to protect ourselves even if we are under siege. Su Ming drew drawings on the ground and said to Su Zhe.

"That's a good design, but why don't we go to Erweibao if we have cement? There are Japanese robbers here, so it's a big deal for us to just escape, and it's safer for so many people to return to the fort.

If there are Japanese robbers coming, we don't flee and hide here, and the other party directly lands hundreds of them, and we may not be able to defend the two Weibao, so we will hide here ourselves and not send them to death? Su Zhe asked puzzled.

"Naturally, we can't defend this seaside, and we only rebuild it because it's too dilapidated to expand our production, and the workers don't even have a place to live.

Nowadays, the houses are made of stone and mud, and the roofs are all wood and thatch, so it is not difficult for the Japanese to destroy them, and a fire can easily burn us.

Our Erweibao can now burn more than 600 catties of cement every three days, which is basically enough for our own use, and now that there is money in the fort, the matter of burning cement cannot be stopped! ”

"Now the cement is too short to be placed, the strength can not be used to build the fort wall, rather than this, it is better to return the manor of the salt factory first, and wait for a few months when the cement placement strength is enough, it has almost been built here, and our cement will all be placed in Erweibao!" Su Ming explained to Su Zhe.

"Alright! I'll listen to you anyway, and I'll have someone build the house later, because the number of rooms here is too small to make snowflake salt.

And whether our salt factory has the eyeliner of Zha Yanbao or Yao Qianhu, no one can guarantee, in order to ensure that the production method of snowflake salt is not leaked, we continue to build a new salt factory. Su Zhe also agreed with Su Ming's plan to build a new salt factory.

Although Su Ming did not plan to build too many defensive facilities here to resist the attack of the Japanese pirates, if the Japanese invaded here, the houses here could hold the Japanese pirates for some time, and the people of Wei Zhuang could also buy some time to enter the fort.

Su Ming had basically taken over the salt mill since the beginning of this day, and there was no opposition to the entire salt mill.

If all the banner owners and Xiaoqi knew that 7 of the 13 wouldn't have been killed by Su Ming directly, they wouldn't have any opinions.

In the ordinary village fort, it is still based on strength to speak, Su Ming's prestige is no less than Su Ren, and the two of them are still brothers, and everyone also recognizes the fact that Su Ming will be the master of the salt factory in the future.
