The road connecting the abandoned mine cave took only one day to tidy up, and it was barely passable for cars and horses. Because the original foundation of the road is still there, it is much less difficult to repair.

With the entry of materials such as vats and bricks and tiles purchased by Zhang Wu, the construction of the salt plant began to proceed smoothly.

Chen Hao placed the large vat on the south side of the entrance of the cave and placed three rows along the cave wall, which did not occupy the most important space of the cave at all.

One hundred vats, each of which can hold 300 catties of water. Even if Wang Meng sent 12,000 catties of salt vegetables five times a month each time according to the later agreement, Chen Hao could process all of them into vegetable pulp at one time and put them in forty large vats for later use, so that he didn't need to deal with salt vegetables every day.

The remaining half of the vat, Chen Hao also has other plans.

When he started refining the salt, he would mix the ash water of the plants and trees that had been dissolved for the second time in advance and put it in the remaining vats.

By controlling the pulping and solution formula of salt vegetables, the leakage of salt production methods can be prevented to the greatest extent. If this is the case, others can also find the same method, then Chen Hao has nothing to say.

However, this is extremely unlikely. Because the population base of the entire Overwatch City is so small that no one has ever found such a method before.

If there are tens of millions, hundreds of millions of people in Overwatch City, then the probability of figuring out a way to refine salt should be able to reach the highest level. But it is only close to 60,000 people, even on the earth of Chen Hao's previous life, a small town with a population of 50,000 or 60,000 has received a basic modern education, and it may not be able to produce a talent who knows how to experiment and summarize, not to mention such a closed watch city!

No one has figured out a method before, and the possibility of finding a method in the future is really slim.

Outside the mine, on the edge of the cliff near the entrance of the cave, a large open space was set up for the erection of twenty stoves.

Further out, a hundred feet from the entrance of the cave, are the future houses and warehouses. The first batch of houses is now being built, and fifteen brick houses are almost topped out.

The people Shi San found also reached seventeen or eighteen.

Among these people, there was only a family of three, and the whole family arrived. A middle-aged couple with a teenage girl.

The others were all singles. This is because Chen Hao's last request is to let the people who come live in the salt farm, and those who drag their families will inevitably hesitate.

Only these singles do not need to think about housing, environment and so on. For them, they can sleep wherever they lie anyway, as long as they don't freeze, and if they stutter, they don't need to think about anything else.

For the sake of this family of three, Chen Hao specially asked Zhang Wu to buy a tent and come back, so that their family could live temporarily. When the conditions are better in the future, if we hire more people, more families should come.

The other barebones put some dead grass on the wood they had cut down in the cave, and fell asleep first.

These seventeen or eighteen people were divided into three batches by Chen Hao.

A group of trees were cut down in the mountains, and except for the main trunk that could be used for construction, the rest were ready-made firewood.

The wife of the couple, Chen Hao asked her to take her daughter to cook for these people.

The rest of the people are digging a canal on the hillside.

There is no river near the mine, but there is no shortage of water. There was seepage water in the mine, but it was not easy to use, so Chen Hao chose a spring on a nearby mountain.

He was going to dig a canal to bring down the water from the mountain springs two miles away, and dig a pool outside the mine to store the water in it. Not only do we need water for construction and living now, but we will also be inseparable from water when we start refining salt in the future.

Now, there are less than ten days left before Wang Meng's first batch of salted vegetables arrives.

On Chen Hao's side, everything is going smoothly step by step, and if nothing happens, there will be no delay in starting salt refining.

As soon as he thought of the accident, the accident came.

After lunch that day, everyone was still resting, and before they began to work, two people came from the rough and well-groomed avenue.

These two people were wearing cyan short clothes and small hats, and they looked a bit like the family members in Han Sui's mansion, but there were some differences. The people who work in the salt works recognize that these are two tolerances, and they usually collect taxes and collect salt, and they are people who dress like this.

The two stopped in front of the brick house that had just been erected with wooden beams and had not yet had time to build tiles, and while looking at the thriving construction site in front of them, they shouted, "Who built this house?

Zhang Wu stood up and said: "Isn't this the cow master Bo and the horse tax collector? What kind of wind blew you two poor masters here? Such a place where birds don't lay eggs, the two poor masters can also find it, it's really rare!"

"Less nonsense, Zhang Wu, are you in charge?" said the cow master Bo with a condescending demeanor.

The same can be said. Second master, what's the matter?" Zhang Wu said with a smile.

"Who told you to build a house here? Do you have a title deed? Do you have our permission? Hurry up and rip this house, and I will not hold you accountable for encroaching on the commons. The tax collector said impatiently.

Zhang Wuyi was stunned, this is a bit fast.

Originally, seeing these two people coming, Zhang Wu was a little mentally prepared, eighty percent of them came to fight the autumn breeze to rub some oil, and they were ready to spend two taels of salt to send these two people away. Who knew that as soon as this person opened his mouth, he was going to pick up the house violently!

"Tax collector Ma, what's wrong with today? Who offended you or what?" Zhang Wudao: "How many houses are we building here, who is in the way? You said that there is no land deed and it is not in accordance with the rules, and I admit it." Anyway, no one wants this land, and I'm willing to pay some money to buy it. But which one are you singing? How can you make things worse when you open your mouth, can this still be discussed?"

"Zhang Wu, don't be flamboyant. Today is not as good as in the past, your house, you have to pick it up if you don't pick it up! The matter of the title deed, that is another matter. When you get the title deed, when you will come back to build a house, I will never ask again. "The cow owner said thinly.

Chen Hao had already seen that these two people were deliberately looking for trouble!

At this time, Zhang Wu looked at Chen Hao, and saw that Boss Chen had a calm face, and his face was full of unhappiness, and he suddenly came to his senses.

He turned his head to the two dukes and scolded: "Lao Tzu gives you face, you really think Lao Tzu is easy to bully? I'm happy that I call you a cow master, and if you're unhappy, you're just a dog, what kind of image are you pretending to be here? This place has no fucking owner for more than a hundred years, Lao Tzu wants to use it, whoever doesn't close the crotch will leak out the two of you? Fuck off!"

He was originally a scoundrel, and he didn't deal with these tolerances on weekdays. The tricks of these people are much clearer than ordinary people.

At this time, seeing that Chen Hao didn't want to see these two people, he immediately gave full play to his strengths and earned a performance in front of the boss first!

As for whether scolding these two people will cause trouble...... As a scoundrel, how could he be afraid of trouble? Not to mention that the boss standing behind him now was one of the only six "great masters" in the watch city, and the sky could not fall on his head.
