Why money? Raise an army!

Previously, Liu Mo only paid for a year's military expenses, and after that, it cost more than 200,000 taels every year, so he had to take precautions!

But Liu Mo's remarks stunned Gonggong Cai, and he laughed after a while, "Haha, Lord Liu is really refreshing!" 500,000 taels of silver, how? ”

, it's really big!

However, this is only two years of military spending, not enough, not enough!

How could Gonggong Cai not see Liu Mo's expression, so he said: "Lord Liu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like to bargain!" 500,000 taels is enough for Lord Liu, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. ”

Tsk, this kind of thing is so domineering!

"Xia Guan understands!" Liu Mo nodded and said.

"Hahaha, then Master Lao Liu wrote down the method of making salt."

Damn, it's pressing every step of the way!

Liu Mo was silent, instructed his subordinates to take pen and ink, and began to write down the "method of making salt"!

Do you really want to sell the salt-making technology? yes, why not sell it?

Crazy? Or succumb to the authority of the prince?

No, no, no!

Forgot? Liu Mo is a modern man.

Modern salt-making technology is not limited to drying salt.

At this moment, Liu Mo wrote down a flow chart of the modern salt making process.

【Desalination of seawater concentrate - > filtration - > electrodialysis - > concentrated brine - evaporation of > refined salt - > concentrated evaporation solution - > potassium chloride cooling - > potassium chloride separation and drying - centrifugal mother liquor - > evaporation of low sodium salt...】

As expected, when Gonggong Cai saw this salt making process flow chart, his whole face turned green.

"Lord Liu, what are you writing here..."

"The way to make salt!" Liu Mo patiently explained, "Father-in-law Cai, look, Xiaguan also drew a flow chart of all the steps. ”

Gonggong Cai frowned, "Lord Liu, what is this seawater concentrate?" And what potassium chloride! Centrifugal mother liquor! Low sodium salt! "What are these?" he asked. We're really unheard of. ”

"Must-have to make new salt!" Liu Mo replied with a serious face, "Gonggong Cai, you haven't heard of it, this is normal, the reason why Xiaguan's new salt is so fine and delicious depends on these rare things." ”

Gonggong Cai's face turned pale, "Then where did this seawater concentrate come from?" ”

"It's easy!" Liu Mo laughed evilly, "Through the steps of filtration concentration, open heating concentration, separation, heating concentration and cooling static treatment and freezing concentration.

15-200 m below sea level, salinity 3.0-3.5‰, hardness 6000-7000mg/l..."

This explanation directly made Cai's father-in-law cry and laugh.

Striking while the iron is hot, Liu Mo continued to add: "There is also the potassium chloride you asked, which is an inorganic compound with an extremely salty taste, odorless and non-toxic. Soluble in water, ether, glycerol and alkali, slightly soluble in ethanol

The production step is..."

Then Liu Mo chattered and explained, and the confused Father-in-law Cai finally couldn't stand it. "Haha, sure enough, the interlaced lines are like mountains!" He said bitterly, "Lord Liu, are there these rare things you just mentioned... Process diagram? ”

"It's nature!" Liu Mo smiled, "If you need Gonggong Cai, I'll write it down now!" ”

You can understand it, count me as losing!

When the modern production process drawings were handed over to Gonggong Cai, Liu Mo almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Because that's the legendary bitter gourd face!

Holding back a smile, he continued to ask, "Dare to be Gonggong Cai, this method of making salt has been written down by the officials, I don't know this silver tael..."

Gonggong Cai was shocked, I have seen people who are greedy for money, but I have never seen you so bold.

"If this process diagram is true, it will naturally not treat you badly!"

Oh, that's not it! Fortunately, I am witty, even if I teach you the process of drying salt, maybe this is the answer!

Then, Gonggong Cai carefully put those craft drawings into the brocade box, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord Liu, we still have important things to do, so we won't bother!" ”

Liu Mo got up, and the etiquette that should be paid attention to was still in place.

"Farewell, don't send it far!" Gonggong Cai excused himself.

"Farewell!"

After sending away Cai's father-in-law, Liu Mo also had to start busy with his work!

The original Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division was set up in Jianglin Mansion, but after Liu Mo's "tossing", the core of the salt transportation has been transferred to Rongcheng.

For this reason, Huang Shouren played the Great Xia Imperial Court, and simply moved the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division to Rongcheng.

As an official office, an office building is indispensable.

It is obviously not advisable to build a new one, not to mention the cost, and the time does not allow.

Liu Mo had an idea, and thought of an excellent location, the house left by Chen Zhiyuan!

When he was in office, he frantically scraped the people's fat and ointment and bought three mansions.

One was bought and lived in by Liu Mo at the price of 1,000 taels of cabbage, isn't there another two!

No one dares to buy a house, waste utilization, reasonable.

As soon as this suggestion was put forward, it was immediately approved by He Ruda. As a result, the remaining house near the Rongcheng County Yamen was renovated and used as the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division.

In the other building, Liu Mo wanted to go black together, but he didn't expect He Ruda to disagree.

At present, the effect is not great, too lazy to ripped off!

In about half a month, the lobby of the Salt Transportation Division was renovated, and the other miscellaneous rooms did not need to be in a hurry, and they could be done.

So Liu Mo happily moved into the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division and began his career life in the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, what he never expected was that this was the beginning of all suffering!

It turned out that after Su Zhongle was dismantled, the post of Yanyun Yushi has been vacant so far.

There is a huge backlog of business to deal with during this time.

For Liu Mo, who has never been an official, these are tiring troubles.

There are also those endless ordinary people, who will make trouble for Liu Mo at the slightest trivial.

Shouldn't the small disputes of the people in the market be handled by the county magistrate? Speaking of this, Liu Mo really had the urge to strangle He Ruda to death.

The laws of the Great Xia court, if they are related to salt, are all handled by the Salt Transportation Division.

Then damn He Ruda grabbed this one, what kind of salt is missing two catties and two pounds of salt, there are impurities and other trivial things. They all threw themselves at Liu Mo.

Not to mention the profiteers in Rongcheng, after the new salt went on the market, countless salt merchants followed suit, wanting to take advantage of the troubled waters to make a profit.

The more people there are, the more things there are.

Unscrupulous profiteers secretly resell second-hand new salt, which is shoddy, and mix other inferior salt with new salt. These despicable methods are something that only you can't think of, and you can't do without them.

All this is salt, right? He Ruda is still polite to you?

So much so that Liu Mo sat in the hall of the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division all day long, listening to their complaints, his brain was numb and his buttocks were sore.

As soon as everyone opens their mouths, it is salt, silver, salt, silver!

It's all nonsense, but Liu Mo doesn't have any helpers at the moment!

Why? Su Zhongle "rebelled"!

Most of the people in the Salt Transportation Division were all affected by Su Zhongle and were liquidated!

The rest of the people are all old fritters and sycophants like He Ruda.

They are either confused or deliberately lying.

Liu Mo felt that this salt transportation division had been dry for half a year, and it would definitely drive him crazy!

"I need helpers, I need men!"
