Then there is no more

In the general environment where everyone is concerned about the fraud case, the reinstatement of Shen Deyuan and Shen Siguan seems a bit low-key.After Liu Jiahui got the news, she thought about it in private again.In her dream, Shen Deyuan and Shen Si were exiled to the northwest.In the dream, they were also rehabilitated, and they also captured a spy who had been hiding in a certain mine in the northwest for many years, broke the barbarian's conspiracy, and made great contributions.However, the work in the mine was very hard, and some bad things happened in the process of discovering and approaching the spy, and one leg of meditation became disabled.

An accident occurred in the northwest mine, and Lord Zhen Guo was also guilty of negligence.In Liu Jiahui's dream, the reason why the Zhen Guogong's mansion would fall apart was one of the true and false charges.After waking up from the dream, she used the name of the old ancestor Tuomeng to tell the old man to pay attention to the mine, and even mentioned the name of the spy, which eliminated the hidden danger in advance.However, also because of her reminder, the old Duke ordered the current Lord Zhen to investigate the matter in the mine and took a series of measures, which made Shen Deyuan and Shen Si all the prisoners who were supposed to be exiled to the Northwest instead of exiled to the South. .

This is the so-called butterfly effect.

Shen Deyuan and Shen Si went to Nanlu and got acquainted with County Magistrate Yao, the father of Bian Jingyu's friend Yao Hefeng. Under the leadership of County Magistrate Yao, the father and son worked hard to build Nanlu.Yao county magistrate has cooperated with Bian Jingyu's ancestral Wanjin firm.The Wanjin Commercial Company transported food, cloth, salt and other supplies to the people under the Yao county magistrate, and purchased medicinal materials, medicinal powders, ointments, etc. from the local area. It actually made a lot of money back and forth!

And when Shen Yi went to visit his father and brother in Nanlu, he actually bought corn seeds!

As a result, the development of things was different from Liu Jiahui's dream.Compared with her dream, Shen Deyuan and Shen Si didn't suffer much. Shen Si has always been healthy and healthy, and there was no disability at all.Because there were people in the capital taking care of it, Shen Deyuan and Shen Si's charges were also quickly cleared.For the sake of corn, the emperor directly let the father and son return to their posts, instead of recalling them to the capital first and then making other arrangements.

Among them, the most critical variable is corn.

Because of the corn, the recovery and rise of the Shen family is much faster than Liu Jiahui's dream.Moreover, not only the Shen family is getting better and better, but the Bian family is also in the process of rising.Bian Jingyu's ancestral Zulu family, and even the Yao family where his friend lives, have all been affected for the better.

Liu Jiahui didn't know the specific situation inside, but felt that the dream was really different, but the Shen family was always getting better and better.

If we want to go back to the source, such a change is all because of Bian Jingyu's OOC!

Hearing that Bian Jingyu was going to go to the south with Shen Yi to pick up Shen Deyuan and Shen Si, Liu Jiahui hugged her stomach that was not yet pregnant and said: "The results of Qiu Wei last time will definitely be invalidated, I'm afraid there will be a re-examination this year... Why is my brother going away at this time?" In her dream, she passed the exam again.

"If he really wants to retake the exam, he must be told to stay at home and study at ease. But there has been no news of retaking the exam..." Bian Jiayu said.Bian Jiayu also felt that Qiuwei would definitely have to retake the exam, but the specific situation was not very clear when the re-examination time was set.

"I guess...after another ten or eight days, there should be news." Liu Jiahui said.

Bian Jiayu showed a troubled expression on his face: "My brother will go out the next day... For the Shen family, the most important thing now is to bring back Uncle Shen and the eldest brother of the Shen family. The caravan is going out together, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait so long."

Liu Jiahui thought for a while, and said: "It's okay to let my younger brother travel with Shen Er. Anyway, my younger brother is not very old, so I can take the exam again in three years."

"That's true." Bian Jiayu said.

Liu Jiahui firmly believes that Shen Yi is the man of destiny, so she feels that Bian Jingyu is not bad for going out with him.If everything is the same as in her dream, and Shen Yi is very hostile, Liu Jiahui probably doesn't want her family to befriend him.I don't want to take advantage of him, and don't let my family follow him.But in real life, Liu Jiahui gradually felt that Shen Yi was a humble, courteous, and grateful person, and her fears were much less after waking up from the dream.

Bian Jingyu bid farewell to her family, and boarded the big southbound ship with Shen Yi.

Because of the corn matter, Emperor Xianwu paid much attention to the Shen family and the Bian family.He often invites Mr. Wen Ge to talk.Because Bian Jingyu paid a special visit to Wen's house before leaving, Wen Ge pretended to be unintentional and said to the emperor: "Benchang is so lucky, that boy from his family went to the south to meet him in person."

At the age of Emperor Xianwu, he liked to hear about the filial piety of his children and grandchildren and the joy of the whole family.Emperor Xianwu already had a good impression of Shen Yi, and felt that Shen Benchang's youngest son was a very pragmatic person. Hearing what Wen Ge said, his evaluation of Shen Yi quickly increased.

Elder Wen Ge said: "Benchang's blessing is not only this, even the children of the Bian family have followed him..."

Emperor Xianwu was stunned for a moment.

Elder Wen Ge told about the marriage between the Bian and Shen families.

Emperor Xianwu said with emotion: "It's Shen Benchang's luck to have a family like Uncle Anping!"This is not only because the Bian family has always taken good care of the Shen family, but also because they offered corn beforehand, and Bian Jingyu, who was mainly responsible for this, left Beijing behind.Why didn't he wait for the reward in the capital? !This must be because he has never been greedy for merit and is dedicated to serving the public!

Hey, such a courtier is a loyal and good courtier!

In short, with the addition of corn and the hint of Elder Wen Ge, Emperor Xianwu liked the two young people Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi more and more, and became more satisfied with the Bian family and the Shen family.Wen Ge thought in his heart, if he worked so hard, if he couldn't accept Bian Jingyu as his disciple, it would be a great loss!

It was the first time for Bian Jingyu to go out on a long journey. When she first got on the boat, everything she saw was fresh. After two days on the boat, she started to experience symptoms of seasickness.Seeing that his face was pale from vomiting, Shen Yi was very distressed.Therefore, once the boat docked to rest, Shen Yi would take Bian Jingyu for a walk on the flat ground.

At this time, the traffic is mainly by water, so there are people coming and going at each dock, which is very lively.

Bian Jingyu saw many people and things that she had never seen before.On this day, he witnessed officers and soldiers arresting people.Qiu Guanshi of Wanjin Trading Company quickly pulled Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi aside, avoiding the officers and soldiers, and said in a low voice, "This is to investigate the sale of illegal salt."

Not long after, some officers and soldiers pulled out a timid person from a cabin.

Bian Jingyu looked at the man.The man looked like a coolie.Seeing that he was dressed in rags, had no luggage, and had no place to hide anything on his body, Bian Jingyu asked, "This man... doesn't even have a bag, where is the salt hidden?" that's it.

Qiu Guanshi was well-informed and said, "It's hidden in his clothes."

Bian Jingyu took a closer look, but still felt that the tattered clothes did not seem to be able to hide things.

"This collection is not that collection. Have you seen his clothes? The whole clothes are full of salt." Qiu Guanshi said.It turned out that these illegal salt sellers would melt the salt water and get it all on their clothes.When the destination is reached, the clothes are boiled to recrystallize the salt, so that the salt can be obtained.

In this way, the salt is khaki and tastes very astringent.But this kind of salt is not worrying about people buying.

Bian Jingyu was disgusted by the boat, but she felt sick again when she heard what Qiu Guanshi said, and asked, "Can you eat this kind of salt?" How dirty those clothes were!Not to mention the clothes, but the person wearing the clothes. He didn't know how to take a bath all the way, his face and hands were full of stains, and there might be lice in his hair.

Qiu Guanshi asked back: "If he can't sell the salt and make a profit, why would he take the risk?"

Salt at this time is very valuable.There are two main reasons for this, one is because of the high cost of salt production, and the other is because of the high salt tax.Salt tax is related to court policy, so I won’t mention it here.The cost of salt production is concentrated in two aspects, one is the cost of salt extraction, and the other is its transportation cost.At this time, the salt is mainly boiled.Cooking requires the input of firewood, charcoal, manpower, etc., so the cost remains high.

Cooking salt is not limited to the seaside.If special brine wells can be dug in inland areas, salt can also be boiled.

Officers and soldiers pulled out several illicit salt dealers from a small boat, but they did not evacuate, and continued to inspect the cabins one by one.Qiu Guanshi didn't want to cause trouble, so he told Bian Jingyu that they should not stay outside and go back to their merchant ship first.Wanjin Trading Company is a serious business, and they spend a lot of money every year to manage it all the way, so as long as they board the ship, the officials and gangsters usually don't deliberately come to trouble them.

Bian Jingyu agreed, and when she was about to pull Shen Yi away, she saw Shen Yi frowning.

"Brother Yi!" Bian Jingyu called out.

Shen Yi came back to her senses and said, "Oh, let's go."

"What were you thinking just now? So engrossed?" Bian Jingyu asked.

"I'm thinking about salt..." Shen Yi's expression seemed a little dazed, "The words "salt pan" and "sun salt" suddenly flashed in my mind just now." He seemed to know some new ways to make salt, but he didn't know where the information came from. here.When he wanted to dig deeper, he seemed to be at a loss again.

Don't think about things you don't understand.

Shen Yi looked at Bian Jingyu with concern, and said, "Brother Jingyu, you feel better now, do you still want to vomit?"

Qiu Guanshi silently lowered his head to study the pattern on his shoe.Brother Yi, brother Jingyu, how do you talk about your seniority!
