Chapter 220 Dong Su’s gift to Prince Ling
At the same time, Shen Dongsu also discovered his own differences.
If she had discovered poisonous salt in the past, she would have thought, "I am rich!" Get rich!
But now, what she is thinking about is that the Youzhou Army has nothing to worry about! The soldiers no longer need to eat that unpleasant vinegar cloth!
She did not immediately say that she would turn the poisonous salt into refined salt. She would tell Ling Mo Xiao the good news after the experiment was successful.
However, she was certain that whether it was using physical or medical methods, there would be no problem in removing impurities.
She first asked Jia Si: "Where did you get this poisonous salt block?"
Jia Si responded positively: "There is a poisonous salt mine not far from the camp. How much does the princess need? I will take someone to get it!"
The other guards only felt that Commander A was quick to respond. The princess just asked, and he realized that the princess was interested in poisonous salt.
Little did he know that this was what Jia Si had learned through the past two years of training. He had seen it too many times, and useless things turned into treasures as soon as they got into the hands of the princess.
Shen Dongsu smiled and said: "Just take three baskets like this. Don't make them so big. Grind them into fine pieces and send them to your house."
She was already excited and just wanted to do the experiment quickly, but the wounded barracks still needed her.
He hurriedly asked Ling Moxiao: "Your Majesty, can I borrow the study room?"
The study room of the military commander, also known as the commander's camp, is a secret place that ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
If not invited by the coach, whoever breaks in will be caught as a spy.
She only thought of this after asking, and quickly changed her words: "If it's inconvenient, just lend me some pen and ink."
Ling Moxiao didn't hesitate at all and whispered: "If you want to use it, it's naturally convenient."
He also made a gesture of invitation, and Shen Dongsu was not polite to him and immediately followed him to the coach's tent.
She really only needs pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and she also needs a quiet place to draw.
The items used for filtration are very simple, including funnels, large buckets, water tanks with compartments, cotton and linen cloth, charcoal...
She drew and wrote one by one. Just when she was about to hand it over to Jia Si, she realized that he had gone to get poisonous salt. Ling Mo Xiao personally took him to the Ministry of Military Industry.
Then I saw Lu Yunzhou. He was much thinner than when he was in Yangzhou, looking haggard from working overtime.
Logically speaking, ordinary spies should be happy when they see the real owner, so they are more likely to complete their mission.
But when Lu Yunzhou saw Ling Moxiao, his appearance remained unchanged, but when he saw Shen Dong Sushi following closely behind him.
His expression changed obviously. He didn't become happy, but became nervous, entangled, and embarrassed.
It seems that he really doesn't want Shen Dongsu to appear here, and hopes that he will never see her face to face in his whole life.
If it weren't for Mr. Pang's explanation, Shen Dongsu would definitely not understand why he was so unhappy to see her.
Now she understands that typical migrant workers don’t want to see Party A!
If she had not appeared, Lu Yunzhou could have been fishing under Ling Moxiao, dreaming of gaining King Ling's trust and leading the children of Momen to the forefront.
But seeing Shen Dongsu, he had to think that he had another identity and another mission.
What should he do if the Queen's new order comes down?
Shen Dongsu suppressed a laugh, it was quite embarrassing for the spy to do this!
Originally, she thought that since Lu Yunzhou was afraid of her, she would not let him help.
As soon as he saw the drawing she took out, Lu Yunzhou's eyes lit up. After reading it carefully, he asked:
"Is this a tool for making medicinal materials?"
Shen Dongsu shook his head: "Being a foodie."
Lu Yunzhou glanced at Ling Moxiao and said that King Ling doted on his wife. It was indeed true!
Princess Ling actually went to the Ministry of Military Industry to make food utensils.
But what kind of food is this? So complicated?
Seeing that Lu Yunzhou was interested, Shen Dongsu gave him some advice: "I've marked the models. How many days will it take to make these things?"
Lu Yunzhou stretched his neck, it was related to his job, and the pride of the Momen disciples was immediately revealed:
"It's just a few carpentry jobs, why take a few days! It can be done before evening."
"Okay, once it's done, send it to your house. I will be rewarded heavily."
After Ling Moxiao and Shen Dongsu left, Lu Yunzhou felt aggrieved again. At the Queen's he made Kit Kat toys.
At Princess Ling's place, he makes food ingredients and tools. I am a descendant of the Mohist clan!
After leaving the Ministry of Military Industry, Ling Moxiao asked softly: "Dong Su has a way to turn poisonous salt into edible salt?"
Shen Dongsu's eyes widened: "Does the prince understand those tools? Does the prince know how to filter and purify?"
Ling Moxiao shook his head: "I don't understand this, but I understand you. From your reaction after seeing the poisonous salt, I knew that you must have thought of a good way."
Shen Dongsu rubbed his face, am I unable to hide anything? Everything is written on his face.
He chuckled and said, "Whether it will succeed or not will only be known after testing. If it succeeds, it will be treated as Dongsu's gift to the prince."
Ling Moxiao's breathing was a little heavier, but he did not show his excitement at all. Instead, he comforted Shen Dongsu softly:
"Whether it succeeds or not, it's still an attempt. Dong Su doesn't have to be so impatient."
In the afternoon, one of them was handling military affairs, and the other was checking the health of soldiers in the wounded camp.
In the evening, Yue Jian came to report that the Ministry of Military Industry had delivered the things the princess wanted to the house.
Shen Dongsu rode on his little red horse, and Ling Moxiao rode on his big white horse. Neither of them said anything, but they were both eager to return home quickly.
When I came, I didn't feel that it was a long way. I talked and chatted all the way and looked at the scenery in April.
Why does this return trip feel so far away! She couldn't ride fast, so it took her half an hour to get back to her house.
Now I feel like the commute to work is too long!
Jia Si was leading a few people to hammer the mineral salt. I don’t know whether it was to show her strength or because she didn’t explain clearly.
They actually took big hammers and smashed a hole in the ground like a stone.
Shen Dongsu looked at the mineral salt that was as finely divided as sand. No matter what, the job was done very well!
He first praised it, and then said: "Next time, just smash it into small pieces and use a stone mortar to pound it. It will save energy."
Person A said: "It doesn't matter, our palace guards are very powerful!"
Shen Dongsu looked at those things again and saw that Lu Yunzhou's skills were indeed amazing!
No matter the size or style, it is exactly the same as what she drew, and even the handle of the filter box that she missed was thoughtfully added.
Ling Moxiao knew that Dong Su would be nervous if he asked. So he stayed with me and watched the whole process, but didn't ask any questions.
Shen Dongsu likes the big boss thing, and is most annoyed by bosses who don't understand anything and can give blind orders.
Dinner time had already arrived, and neither of them was in the mood to eat. They simply cooked two bowls of noodles, ate them in a hurry, and then started making salt.
First, ask someone to pour the salt powder into a big bucket, add clean water and stir, just stir. After stirring, pour out the brown and black dirty water, add clean water and continue stirring.
Until the water is clear, pour the water and salt into the filter box. The filter box is arranged in several layers: one layer of linen, one layer of charcoal and one layer of sand.
The mouth becomes smaller as you go down, and the bottom is funnel-shaped. The water dripping out is cyan. Just collect enough water for a basin, bring it to the kitchen, and boil it over high heat.
Until now, except for Ling Mo Xiao, no one else knew what the princess was doing, but no one dared to ask.
When the small pot of water dried up, a layer of bluish-white substance was left at the bottom of the pot. Shen Dongsu shoveled it up to taste, but Ling Moxiao grabbed his wrist:
"Let the animals try it first."
Shen Dongsu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, look, this is green salt."
Jia Si and others could not contain their excitement. The princess actually turned the poisonous salt into green salt! And just using such a simple tool!
There are many poisonous salt mines outside Youzhou City. In this way, the Youzhou Army will no longer be short of salt!
Although Shen Dongsu was adamant that the salt was non-toxic, Ling Moxiao still refused to allow her to try it. Jia Si volunteered to try it but was rejected.
In the end, only one sheep could be brought in, and A4 would take care of it. Will the sheep be poisoned if it licks the salt?
It was already late at night, and I didn’t have a good dinner, so my eldest brother gave me a late-night snack made by myself, grilled mutton skewers, baked pancakes, and a bowl of glutinous rice balls made with rice wine.
This was more effective than the best hypnotic drug in the world. Shen Linzhong was unwilling to eat with them and only sat opposite Ling Mo Xiao. After eating, she began to doze off.
Don't forget to tell Yue Jian: "Tell Jia Si to keep an eye on the sheep and don't run away."
It is said that Jiasi slept with the sheep that night, and in order to test the toxicity of salt, he fed the sheep a little every now and then.
This poor sheep was lucky that he was not killed by salt.
At dawn, Jia Sihe's eyes were red, and the sheep's eyes were also very red.
Jiasi said that he was afraid that drinking water would affect the test results, so he fed it a lot of salt but did not drink a sip of water.
Not only did Shen Dongsu examine the sheep himself, Ling Moxiao also called a veterinarian from the army who specializes in treating horses to check.
The result of the examination was that the sheep was healthy, but a little irritable. Sheep in general are very docile.
Nonsense, you were chained and fed with salt all night without being allowed to drink water or sleep. How could you not be irritable!
After checking the sheep, they went to check the salt. Both the military doctor and the cook were convinced that this was green salt!
It is of excellent quality, and is the green salt used by nobles to clean teeth.
Shen Dongsu raised his head slightly and looked at Ling Moxiao, but saw that the big boss was very pretentious in front of outsiders, with a calm and serious face.
Only people who are familiar with him will notice how excited he is at the moment from the corners of his brows and eyes.
He ordered Jia Si to keep the guards who made the salt silent. After the princess made the green salt, she kept it strictly confidential.
When the two were alone, he gently held Shen Dongsu's hand and said:
"My wife is really a lucky star for my husband! Don't worry, madam, I won't give you this salt for nothing. There is a manor in Guangzhou and a villa in Xishan, Chang'an. I asked Butler Liu to add it to my wife's dowry list."
Shen Dongsu didn't shirk at all and said no, let alone say, "We are one husband and wife" or "It's my duty to do something for my husband." '
I am willing to make the salt and give it to the Youzhou Army.
You give me Zhuangzi as compensation, and I will keep it.
Even if the boss's wife works for the boss, she still has to pay dividends!
Even if she is the real Princess Ling, there is no conflict between Prince Ling’s mansion and Princess Ling’s wealth!
Moreover, her relationship with Ling Mo Xiao has not changed since the beginning. I give you good things, you give me real gold...
"So, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Dongsu smiled with almond-shaped eyes, and specifically asked for a village with hot springs. From now on, Xiao Man and Da Lian can go to the hot springs freely.
After all, Zhuangzi belongs to his brother-in-law and to his sister, which are completely different feelings.
As for Qingyan’s need to keep it secret, Shen Dongsu didn’t need Ling Moxiao to explain:
"If this salt-making method reaches the imperial court, it will only become a tool for the princelings to make profits."
"As long as we don't sell salt to the mainland and it's only for Youzhou's military use, I believe that even if the emperor knows about it, he won't pursue it."
"Your Majesty wants to keep it a secret. It's not enough just to keep it secret. If the Youzhou Army doesn't take jealousy, there will be endless salt. Sooner or later, someone will notice."
"I think it can be said that the salt I brought from Guangzhou was my dowry and given to the Youzhou Army for free."
"As for the back, well, Youzhou is close to the sea. We can find a way from Haiyan to block the mouth outside."
Ling Moxiao nodded in agreement. Even if others were indifferent to Youzhou, the princelings were always paying attention to Youzhou and had to guard against it.
Because salt production must be kept secret and the matter is of great importance, Ling Moxiao decided to hand over this important task to Shen Linzhong and put him in charge of making salt in the palace.
King Ling has the power to appoint officials in Youzhou, but of course he is only a low-ranking official. Because Shen Linzhong took charge of military matters, Ling Moxiao named him an eighth-grade captain.
After Brother Dayu became an official, Shen Linzhong was the second among his relatives and friends to have a real official position.
Shen Dongsu was happy for his eldest brother and specially cooked a table of dishes to celebrate. Ling Moxiao knew that he was at the table and everyone felt uncomfortable.
After toasting Shen Linzhong with a glass of wine, he left the table. Dong Su also toasted with a drink and left the table.
Lin Zhong, Mo Xiujin, Mr. Pang and Jia Si and other guards commanders were left to have a good meal.
Ling Moxiao felt confident for the first time since he came to Youzhou. From now on, he will have inexhaustible supply of salt!
It goes without saying how precious salt is in this era. Ordinary people only have two busy farming seasons in a year and are willing to eat some salt. They usually use salt mud or pickles as salt.
As for the border soldiers, they only have salt when marching and fighting, and usually they are jealous.
The court only accounted for half of the salt business, and the other half was firmly controlled by the gentry. Since ancient times, people selling illicit salt have been the easiest industry to make a fortune and lose their heads.
With salt, he can raise a powerful army. At the same time, Ling Moxiao thought that he could not let the court know, so he could not do salt business with the mainland.
But the court in Mobei had nothing to do with it. In addition to the Tatars, there were also many other ethnic groups in Mobei. Like the Han people, they were bullied by the Tatars.
If he could use salt and let these people use it, it would save a lot of effort to fight the Tartars...
A huge plan emerged in Ling Moxiao's mind with a grain of salt.
At night, Ling Moxiao hugged the sleeping Dong Su from behind, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.
I am glad once again that I was right to seduce her as my wife.
The little girl has only been in Youzhou for a day, and she gave him such a big gift!
When he returns to Chang'an again, he will definitely give a golden body to the Buddha statue in the Buddhist temple of Master Huikong.
The next day, Ling Moxiao sent someone to the harbor to check on the situation. He couldn't leave now and couldn't take Dong Su to take a look in person.
We can only send people to investigate the situation at the harbor first, and Dong Su has no objection to this.
She knew very well that whether she was doing business to make money or helping Youzhou become rich and powerful, it was all based on the premise that her body was absolutely safe.
The Tatars could attack at any time, and she couldn't afford to lose a small amount.
