Datang: In order to be a salted fish, I decided to look forward to my father Jackie Chan

Chapter 127
"Brother Feng, my old Zhu won't do things that hurt the nature and betray the ancestors. Don't worry, I'm looking for some food at the seaside of Goguryeo."

Zhu Ziming patted his chest and promised.

Now Feng Yue felt a little relieved, if he really wanted to do some spies, Feng Yue might kill his relatives right away, how many people of Feng Yue's age had no enmity with Goguryeo?

How many children died on the Liaodong battlefield?Enmity is not counted on Yang Guang and Goguryeo?
What Zhu Ziming said about looking for food was nothing more than being a pirate, making a living by the sea, these activities are too common!

"That's fine, Lao Zhu, you must stick to your duty as a human being, and you must not do things that violate your conscience!"

"Don't worry, Brother Feng, don't you know what I am like, Lao Zhu?" Zhu Ziming pulled Feng Yue and went to the next work shed to invite. In the past few days, a few work sheds have been cleared out.

The stove was burning brightly and warmly, "Brother Feng, why are you here this time?"

"Hehe, Lao Zhu, Xiao Guan, we will work together again in the future!"

"That's great!"

"Brother Feng is leading us to do it, it's better than a cow."

"Shut up!" Zhu Ziming snorted coldly. Although Jue Li was concerned about the specific matters of the dock, everyone was a little dissatisfied, thinking that it was an outsider commanding an insider.

But Lord Li is really good. He made up his wages, paid monthly money in advance, and built a house.

"Haha, everyone!" Looking at the hundreds of people in front of him, Feng Yue smiled softly, "It's the dock where Sir Li invited my master, the old man, and I came with him. , I really don’t understand!”

"You know, my master has just been apprenticed to Lord Li, and now Lord Li is my ancestor!"

Hua Ziwen, who arrived later, was puzzled when he heard that Feng Yue's master worshiped Lord Li as his teacher, it was incredible.

Mr. Yu Wenhai was already the king of the shipbuilding industry more than ten years ago. How could Mr. Li be qualified to be Yu Wenhai's master?

My father, Steward Lao Hua, told me privately when he took Feng Yue with him that Feng Yue was very capable and good at managing the dock. Steward Lao Hua was very optimistic about Feng Yue, and now he has become Li Jue Grandpa's grandson.

Hua Ziwen asked his doubts.

"Brother Hua, you just saw the surface. Do you really think that Lord Li is young and doesn't know anything about shipbuilding?"

Feng Yue talked about Kaikai, "In fact, Lord Li has real materials, especially the one called watertight cabin, and the schooner and soft sail, which are a stroke of genius!"

Feng Yue's words made hundreds of people in the room confused. Each word could be understood individually, but when put together, Zhu Ziming and the others couldn't understand it!
Feng Yue did not show any other abnormalities. After all, everyone has a different division of labor. This may be the reason why Jue Li didn't tell them any good ideas, because it is hard to find a bosom friend, and no one can understand what he said!

Maybe only his own master can become a confidant with Lord Li, after all, Feng Yue still can't figure out how to use Ruanfan in his own mind!

"My master, an old man, is studying in Banqiao Town with master's drawings. From now on, I will be in charge of all matters in the dock. For other things, just follow master's command!"

Afterwards, Hua Ziwen and Zhu Ziming reported the construction progress of the current dock and the timber they had.

In the past few days, Cheng Yaojin has brought in a lot of wood from Shandong Road one after another. As long as the dock is built and we work together, the first boat should be built soon!
After reporting the progress in the dock, it was time to catch up with old friends.

Li Xiao, who had just written the letter, had not had time to rest when Xiaocui came in to report that Duke Lu sent his own bodyguards to invite Li Xiao, asking him to go to Yantian!
Li Xiao thought something was wrong again.

salt fields.

The construction speed is very fast, and there is no shortage of manpower. If it weren't for Cheng Yaojin who attached great importance to confidentiality work, he would arrange open posts and secret posts at every intersection.

The number of people building salt pans can be doubled!
Li Xiao accompanied Cheng Yaojin and walked towards the crystal pool.

"Master Zan, your method is very good. The water level in the sedimentation tank is not high, and the evaporation is fast. The area of ​​the secondary sedimentation tank is large, and the water level is not high. When I was inspecting today, I saw white salt particles in the crystallization tank!"

Cheng Yaojin said excitedly, "My God, this is the first time I have seen such white salt, oh no, except for the snowflake salt from Xinyi Trading Company!"

"It's really amazing, the wind and the sun can produce salt!"

Riding a horse, it didn't take long to walk, and the crystallization pool was in front of us.

The soldiers are busy pushing the solution, the purpose is to speed up the crystallization and spread the salt particles, otherwise the crystallized salt block will be very large, which is inconvenient to use and transport!
Cheng Yaojin stepped forward, picked up a little grain of salt with his index finger and scorpion finger, put it in his mouth, and tasted it indulgently, "It's so delicious! It's so delicious!"

The corners of Li Xiao's mouth twitched as he watched, "Uncle Cheng, are you coming out?"

"What happened?" Cheng Yaojin gave Li Xiao a white look, "You haven't had a hard time!"

Then he took out a letter from his pocket!
Li Xiao quickly read it, and it turned out that it was Li Shimin who was urging again to ask Haiyantian to transport a batch of salt to Chang'an as soon as possible for emergency treatment!
It seems that Fang Xuanling is almost unstoppable in Chang'an City!

"Uncle Cheng, the salt has just been produced, and the output is just a drop in the bucket!"

Cheng Yaojin talked, the emperor was in a hurry, what can he do?You can only work overtime!
So far, the construction of new salt fields is still not over, and more than half of the people are still working on new salt fields, just to increase the production!

Cheng Yaojin paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Actually, there is a way to solve the emergency of burning coal, and I have already replied the solution to His Majesty. Whether it is used or not depends on His Majesty's decision!"

Li Xiao asked curiously, "What way?"

"Adding sand to the salt will increase the amount, which can effectively slow down Zheng's invasion of the market in Chang'an!"

Wocao, such a bad idea?
"Uncle Cheng, are you harming others and yourself? Once the court's signboard is smashed, it will be very difficult to erect it again!"

"There is no way around this. If Mrs. Zheng takes over all the salt markets in Chang'an and Luoyang, our salt will no longer be able to enter, and Your Majesty will lose face!"

Li Xiao firmly disagreed, "How much is face worth? If Chang'an loses, we can't win it back elsewhere? Besides, winning or losing is decided now, it's too early!"

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Li Xiao, "How much is face worth? Tell Your Majesty this!"

"One mu of salt field, properly controlled, can produce [-] catties, and the cycle of salt production depends on God's face!"

"The first batch of tens of thousands of catties of salt will be shipped out within two months of His Majesty's request. The difficulty is not ordinary. There are only half a month left!"
