The next morning, Liu Mo dressed alone in the dawn while listening to the soft breathing of his sleeping wife.

She was dreaming, he thought to himself, Lin Shiqi was muttering in her dream - she was calling me!

Liu Mo couldn't help but kiss her forehead lightly, and then Lin Shiqi turned over.

I have a lot of worries waiting for me today!

He put on his shoes and got out of bed.

The maids who took care of the couple's daily life had been guarding the door for a long time, and when they heard the movement, they immediately pushed the door in, and one of them carried a basin of water.

"Uncle, let the slave maid wait for you to wash." The maid said.

"No, I'll do it myself!"

"Okay, uncle!" The maid said, "By the way, uncle, Uncle Lin sent someone to look for you early in the morning." ”

"Which Uncle Lin? Mo is not Lin Yu? ”

"Yes, in addition to Uncle Lin, there is also Third Master Lin, who also sent someone!"

So early! Liu Mo frowned.

While washing his face, he began to think about how to reject the two of them.

The title of "red-capped businessman", plus the official business, is comparable to the huge project of tens of billions of cross-sea bridges built by governments on the earth.

These two people will definitely not give up easily, and they may put pressure on Mrs. Zhou.

I, Liu Mo, am a son-in-law, no matter how capable I am, I am an outsider after all, and they are my own flesh and blood.

There is no mother in the world who does not love her son.

When Mrs. Zhou speaks, do I agree or not?

Rather than this, it is better to go to the old lady first to explain this matter and probe her tone, anyway, she planned to come to discuss with her from the beginning.

Just do it.

"I'm going to find the old lady, the others, not for the time being!"

~~~

I found the old lady, who was taking a walk in the garden. Unexpectedly, there was one more person by her side at this moment.

His own father-in-law, Lin Yuan!

Meet Liu Mo. Old Mrs. Zhou immediately said: "Mo'er, did you come to my old woman to discuss how to complete the task of the 'Red-Top Merchant'?" ”

Liu Mo glanced at Lin Yuan and was speechless for a while.

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, "You kid, it's me Lin Yuan who is in charge of this house, and Shiqi has not separated from me." What, is there anything else I can't let me know? ”

Good guy, you have a point, but the point is, can you?

If you don't have the ability, it's easy to say it, I don't trust you very much!

"Mo'er, I'm right." Mrs. Zhou was unusual, supporting Lin Yuan's statement, "For such an important matter, I should also discuss it with my son." ”

This...

Could it be because Lao Taijun's other two sons are by his side, if he forcibly bypasses Lin Yuan and discusses the matter with him alone.

As the head of the house, I don't discuss major matters with him, an old woman, a son-in-law, and two "outsiders" who are not surnamed Lin are in charge!

Then Lin Yuan's old face was really lost...

Okay, it's a face-saving face!

Liu Mo cleared his throat and told the story one by one.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou was half surprised and half worried. "Mo'er, your business skills, my old woman believes. However, the matter of salt making is an extremely elaborate job! ”

"Old Taijun put a hundred hearts, I, Liu Mo, never do anything that I am not sure of!" Liu Mo replied, his eyes full of confidence.

"And what do you need my old woman to do?"

Liu Mo smiled, and then laid out his plans one by one.

According to the classification of sources, salt can be divided into four types: sea salt, lake salt, well salt, and rock salt.

What Liu Mo plans to do is to dry sea salt.

China's sea salt production technology has a long history, originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, developed in the Han and Tang Dynasties, revitalized in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

There are four ways to prepare sea salt, boiling seawater directly into salt, first making brine and then decoction to make salt, first making brine and then drying to make salt, and directly drying seawater into salt.

Before the Tang and Song dynasties, the production of sea salt was very primitive, scraping the salty soil by the sea, and then using plant ash to absorb seawater as a raw material for salt production.

When making salt, the raw materials are rinsed with water to form brine, and then placed in an open container, and the fire is burned below to evaporate the water, this method is called drenching brine frying salt.

One of the biggest problems with this salt production method is that it requires a lot of labor and a lot of firewood, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, the quality is not good.

After the Song Dynasty, there was a salt drying method, used to dry the water in the sun, during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, China began to abolish a part of the pot stove and build salt fields.

At present, the most used way of making salt in the Great Xia Dynasty is to boil the sea to make salt, which is a relatively primitive method before the Tang and Song dynasties.

The reason why Liu Mo dared to go to Haikou was precisely because he learned about the backwardness of the salt-making process of the Great Xia Dynasty.

And what he wants to experiment with now is the more advanced salt.

When Liu Mo told all the plans, Mrs. Zhou frowned.

The Lin family has a big business, but salt production is a field that has never been involved.

"Boy, you have such ambitions, and it is not in vain that my mother loves you." Lin Yuan said, "However, the risk of salt production is too great. ”

Liu Mo was very relieved, Lin Yuan's tone at this time was much soothed compared to before.

Obviously, since last night, in his heart, he has gradually accepted his son-in-law.

"As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger. There is no business, there is no sure way to make a profit. Liu Mo said, "Besides, in my plan, I only need to manufacture a small number of 'samples' in the early stage, and it doesn't cost too much." ”

"Tell me, what do you need my old woman to do?"

Liu Mo bowed down again and said the needs one by one.

First of all: he needed a "test salt field" near the sea.

Second: manpower. It is impossible for Liu Mo to do every step of the process himself, and at the same time, he cannot tell others about such an important technology as salt drying (to prevent leakage).

Therefore, he needs trustworthy people, and according to the management method of the Earth Factory, each 'production workshop' has only one corresponding technology, and each has its own role.

In this way, unless all the 'workshop leaders' unite to betray, there will be no leaks.

Third: start-up capital. In the early experiment, the silver in Liu Mo's hand was enough. It's just that the experiment is completed and large-scale production is put into production in the later stage, and the funds are definitely far from enough.

Again, even if it is enough, such a big project does not allow Lin Yuan to become a shareholder, and it makes no sense to do it alone.

The old lady was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then looked up at Lin Yuan: "My son, what do you think?" ”

Lin Yuan twisted and pinched, and said after holding back for a long time: "It's all up to your mother." ”

"Either refuse or agree, just like you, no wonder the old lady is so disappointed." Liu Mo thought to himself.

The old lady was not surprised, "From now on, you will listen to Mo'er when it comes to making salt." She said, "Do whatever he tells you to do, and don't slack off." ”

Lin Yuan's expression became so complicated, but in the end, he said extremely reluctantly, "Yes..."

Liu Mo also has a headache, this is the legend, the real "father"!
