When the three counties of Pingzhou were in full swing to build the city gates, Lu Songli asked her father to order and secretly summon the Qin brothers back.

In fact, the Qin family brothers are also making pre-war preparations, and they are very busy, and they haven't been home for a long time.

Lu Desheng gave a secret order and casually asked his daughter the reason.

Lu Songli said as if inadvertently, "I need them to come back and focus on the deployment and defense of Dragon City, especially around the Dragon City Pharmaceutical Workshop." "Not surprisingly, this should be the perfect place to hit Xianbei.

Dragon City control? Why Dragon City? Or near Longcheng Pharmaceutical Workshop?

At this time, Lu Desheng also felt wrong, "Girl, what is there in this Longcheng Pharmaceutical Workshop?" ”

It should be said that his daughter's insistence on the Xie family's land as compensation seems to have any special reasons? But after they arrived in Liaodong County, they didn't see how his daughter cared about the hundred hectares of land, and they only built a pharmaceutical workshop there, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

"It's nothing, it's just that there's a salt lake in there." Lu Songli said lightly.

Salt lake? Lu Desheng seems to understand whether he understands or not.

Lu Songli explained, "The bottom of the salt lake is salt brine, which is different from well salt, which needs to be fished out, and the salt brine of the salt lake will precipitate salt crystals by itself. ”

"What are salt crystals?" Lu Desheng asked, he knew that one of the ways in which the imperial court produced salt.

"After these salt crystals are brought back, we only need to go through the process of filtration to turn them into clean salt." Lu Songli explained simply.

Lu Desheng's eyes lit up, "It's so simple? Isn't that better than well salt? ”

"Yes, well salt will run dry. But the salt lake doesn't, it's like it's alive, it produces a certain amount of salt crystals every year, and then it stops. ”

"Next spring, it will start producing again. Day after day, year after year, as long as the salt lake is there and is not polluted, there is no depletion. ”

Lu Desheng stood up suddenly, "This is good! "It sounds like this salt lake is a great place to produce salt.

Lu Songli smiled and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.

This salt lake is indeed a good thing, and it usually exists in barren land.

Lu Songli guessed that the reason why this place was never discovered was because the salt lake had a branch of a dark river passing by.

In the spring, as soon as the salt crystals from the salt lake are precipitated and the snow from the snow-capped mountains gradually melts, the water from the branches of the dark river flows into the salt lake, and when the lake rises, the precipitated salt crystals are reincorporated into the lake.

She felt that this was the truth, and it was not uncommon for her to have seen similar sights in later generations.

When they came to Liaodong County last year, spring had already passed, and at that time, their Qin family had just come to Xiangping Juntun, and they didn't dare to make any big moves, so she didn't go to investigate the matter.

This year, she asked Xiao Kun, the person in charge of Longcheng Pharmaceutical Workshop, to keep an eye on the situation in Salt Lake, and it was just as she thought.

This matter is very important, and Lu Songli asked Xiao Kun to keep it a secret.

Xiao Kun also understands the seriousness of this matter and has been tight-lipped all the time.

Lu Desheng was stunned, and he said, last autumn, where did the salt come from for a large number of salted fish that his daughter made under his daughter's initiative? Originally, all the salt used came from here.

He also thought it was the private salt that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce got back outside. is not deaf, dumb, and not a family, so he turns a blind eye to this.

In fact, he still thought badly, the salt used to dry salted fish was borrowed by Lu Songli through Ji Wuyin's relationship with a salt merchant he was familiar with, and he made an appointment to return it in the summer of the next year, giving Yicheng a profit.

Lu Desheng, who was about to sit down, didn't know what to think, straightened his waist again, crossed his hands on his waist, and began to laugh, "Girl, do we count ourselves as pit Xie Zhan ruthlessly?" ”

At this time, Lu Desheng had only one thought, that is, Xie Zhan had lost a lot.

"Dad, I think Xie Zhan has already come back to his senses." At the beginning of this year, there were people who kept trying to get in and spy on the news.

"If you look back, you will taste it, anyway, the hundred hectares of land are also in our hands." The earth is theirs, and the salt lake is theirs, hum. It was just right to look back and make him regret dying.

"I guess he leaked this news to Xianbei's side."

Lu Desheng: ......

Xie Zhan, this despicable, shameless, and obscene slut!

"No wonder you want to let Qin Shizi and them come back." Lu Desheng said, the salt lake is very important, and Dragon City is so close to the Xianbei grassland.

"At the moment, Xianbei thinks that we don't know that they have learned about the existence of the Dragon City Salt Lake. Let's take advantage of this. ”

Xianbei went south, what is it for, isn't it just supplies? Among them, food, salt, and tea are the things they crave the most. This time, they can take advantage of the information gap to secretly control Dragon City.

Lu Desheng waved his hand, "Yes, that's it!" Let's give him a place to work, wait for the rabbit, and catch the turtle in the urn. "Whatever, that's what it means, anyway.

"Let them come and go one by one."

Lu Songli smiled, "Well, when Ah Sheng and the others come back, your father-in-law can make a request for him." ”

"Mention, must mention!"

……

When the large tracts of rice in Pingzhou were about to be harvested, Prince Gong came.

The visitor was a guest, and Prince Gong used to be a good man, and he had a good relationship with Lu Desheng, so Lu Desheng went to pick up people in person.

Lu Desheng received people in Wuli Pavilion outside the city, and in the last short distance, he couldn't sit in the carriage, so he came down to rest.

When Lu Desheng received someone, Prince Gong was reluctant to take the car, saying that he wanted to take a walk, and after sitting in the carriage for too long, he almost didn't break up his old bones.

Going to take a walk, huh? Yes! Lu Desheng walked back with him. Anyway, he's been running a lot outside lately, and he's been working out great.

Prince Gong looked at the endless fields and the green and yellow rice waves, and said with a smile, "Your harvest in Pingzhou this year is good." ”

Lu Desheng smiled, "It's okay." ”

After walking for four or five miles, Prince Gong's legs hurt again and he couldn't walk, "I'm old." ”

Lu Desheng stepped forward to hug him, and said in disgust, "You said that you are so old and frail, and the emperor can bear to send you so far to Pingzhou?" ”

Lu Desheng asked him, "Do you sit in the carriage?" "Let's go if we don't sit down.

At this time, Prince Gong did not dislike the carriage bumping.

After returning, Lu Desheng asked people to arrange a collapse place for their group.

The next day, when Lu Desheng saw Prince Gong again, his spirit had recovered.

He couldn't help asking, "I don't know what is the important matter for Prince Gong to come this time?" ”

Prince Gong drank tea for a moment, then glanced at him, cleared his throat and said, "That's the case...... In and out of the words, you Pingzhou has a good harvest this year, pay more taxes.

These words immediately stimulated Lu Desheng's sensitive nerves, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
