I engaged in modernization in ancient times
Chapter 33 Cooking Sea for Salt
Seeing someone waving to him, Douzi hurried over, and carefully opened the white and beautiful buns placed on the numbness in the small box one by one.
"Do you want to buy steamed stuffed buns? Steamed stuffed buns that just came out of the cage."
The man didn't answer, but said, "Little beggar, what are you doing?"
Douzi replied, "We are selling steamed buns to the prince."
Speaking of this, the whole face couldn't help laughing, "We only need to carry the box around the street a few times a day, and then we can eat buns at the son's bun shop."
"The prince gave us a place to live. He is making beds for us now. The prince said that he will give us new clothes every day."
"We are not little beggars now, we are little peddlers of Shizi's family."
It still seemed a little immature voice, no matter how you listened, you could hear the joy in the voice.
Say goodbye to the eaves of the ruined temple, no need to smile and beg, no need to flatter, they have clean clothes to wear, clean places to live, and food to eat.
The worries and fears I used to have every day seem to have become expectations.
The three words "little shopkeeper" are their new identities, and they seem to have given them new hope.
Seeing the person in front of him stunned, Douzi scratched his head and left reluctantly.
In the past, they would have to say something nice, maybe someone was kind, and would give them something to eat when they were pitiful. This is what they had to learn when they were beggars.
But Shizi said that they don't need to do this, they just need to yell and pass by the crowd, even if no one buys, just leave.
In fact, although he is young, he understands that if he forcibly drags people to buy things, he will be hated by others, just like they used to beg around people, and he would even be pushed to the ground and beaten and scolded...
It's just that no one bought his steamed stuffed buns, so he was somewhat disappointed. The world is so kind, and steamed stuffed buns are so delicious, why don't these people buy them?
When he went out just now, he went to pick up two big buns to eat. This was definitely the sweetest and most delicious food he had ever eaten.
Thinking of this, Xiaozui couldn't help licking his lips, because Shi Zi said that they can still go to get buns to eat at noon, and they are not allowed to secretly hide the buns for the next meal, saying that it is not clean and hygienic.
They were very happy at that time, and a group of little beggars started to talk about cleanliness and hygiene.
But it's true, if they don't like cleanliness, others will definitely not buy their buns, so before going out just now, they washed themselves as if they were different people, and their little hands were like a new pair.
They are not much different from the children of ordinary people in Liangjing.
I'm very happy just thinking about it.
And the people of Liangjing, looking at these small shopkeepers hanging from a small wooden box and yelling, finally reacted.
There was an uproar, and some people even gasped.
"Mo Shaoheng actually took in a little beggar from Liangjing."
"Do you know how many little beggars there are in Liangjing?"
From what the little beggar said just now, it seemed that he was still accepting the little beggars who came.
Feeding so many people for nothing is simply unimaginable.
"What the hell is Mo Shaoheng doing?"
"Even if the Zhenbei Prince's family has a big business, it's not enough to toss about."
They are used to seeing the little beggars in Liangjing. Well-meaning people may occasionally give a little bit of charity, and more people... have become numb to seeing them.
Mo Shaoheng is too prodigal.
But... There are also some people who are silent.
If... If this person is not Mo Shaoheng, they will definitely buy some of the goods sold by these small peddlers.
At this time, Mo Shaoheng was in the warehouse, watching the craftsman Uncle Yu make bunk beds.
He had to watch and make the first bed, but he didn't have to worry about the rest.
The bed has three floors. In fact, with Master Yu's craftsmanship, it is not difficult. Mo Shaoheng reminded him to make a small ladder to climb up and down. After all, they are all young children.
There are three layers of beds, only two layers can sleep people, and the bottom layer is made into a simple cabinet, which can be used to store things, or lie on top of the cabinet...to do homework.
In fact, it is a bit like the bunk bed in the student dormitory of a modern school.
Uncle Yu led a lot of people to make according to Mo Shaoheng's request. Naturally, they didn't dare to delay Mo Shaoheng too much time and tried their best to complete the samples.
The shelf for the first bunk bed has been built, and Mo Shaoheng is checking the firmness.
The bed looked quite nice.
Uncle Yu opened his mouth, and finally said, "That's why the son is kind."
In fact, it is for some little beggars to live in, so there is no need to make it so delicate.
Even if the manpower is their own, it doesn't need to be included in the cost, but buying wood is still an expense.
In addition, the prince is still taking in little beggars, a warehouse is definitely not enough, and the wood for the bed still has to be purchased.
It's also fortunate that the warehouse belongs to their Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, otherwise...
Just as he was thinking, Mo Shaoheng said at this time, "I have to make some chairs and put them in front of the cabinets of the bunk beds, otherwise there won't even be a place to sit."
Uncle Yu: "..."
This went straight into the afternoon.
The general appearance of the first bunk bed was also placed in front of him, and a dozen skillful hands put together a bed, and the timing was considered appropriate.
The three-story bed is not too short, and a log chair is placed in front of the high and low beds.
The unique original color of wood, the style never seen before.
Uncle Yu was a little surprised. Although the design is simple, it seems to be designed for multi-person living.
It's quite...beautiful.
If Mo Shaoheng knew what Uncle Yu was thinking, he would definitely say that it was originally designed for the collective dormitory, which naturally fits the use of the space best, and also contains some aesthetics.
Mo Shaoheng said, "We will follow this standard in the future, and pay special attention to the issue of firmness."
Uncle Yu nodded.
At this time, Dou Zi and a few small shopkeepers just came back.
The prince said that they only need to go to the street at a fixed time to sip, and they don’t have to stay there all the time, because others are not willing to buy, no matter how they pass by them, they still won’t buy, so they are all arranged, a group of small shopkeepers are separated by a certain distance go once.
Although they don't think they're tired at all, they have energy running around all day.
They're coming home now, yes, coming home, they have a home, a home that's sheltered from the elements, sheltered from being driven away.
Seeing a few little heads looking into the warehouse, Mo Shaoheng beckoned and let them in, just to let them feel it for themselves.
Put the beans on the second bed, "How?"
Bean blinked his eyes, and carefully touched the wooden board below.
It was thick and clean, not at all dirty and damp like where they used to lie.
It also looks very good-looking.
Is this their future bed?
In fact, they felt that even if they let them sleep on the floor, they would be very happy.
Now...they actually have a bed.
Mo Shaoheng asked Douzi to try to lie on the bed.
Douzi lay neatly, motionless, so comfortable that he could imagine how comfortable it would be to sleep on it at night.
That's great, I touched the bed board lightly with my hand, I really couldn't bear it to the extreme.
Mo Shaoheng nodded. Uncle Yu's craftsmanship is indeed good, completely in line with his expectations.
Then he let Bean climb down the ladder and sat on the chair in front of the cabinet to try it out.
The ladder is quite easy to use. The ancient mortise and tenon structure is simply a legendary art. It can be fixed without iron nails, and it is very firm.
The chair was a little high, and Doudou had to rub his feet to climb it.
But it's okay, kids like this grow up pretty fast.
Mo Shaoheng explained a few words, nodded Douzi's forehead, and then left.
Before leaving, he asked, "Douzi, how are our steamed buns and ice cream doing?"
After getting the answer, Mo Shaoheng: "..."
Well, if you can't sell it, you can give it to these small shopkeepers to eat, so you don't have to cook it at night.
I ordered again to ask Uncle Yu to make some stone mills for Baozipu. They are now selling buns. It is impossible to use stone nests every time they grind flour.
The children were like in a dream, unable to wake up no matter what, looking at Mo Shaoheng who was leaving with his guqin in his arms, their son must be a fairy, with good looks and a good heart.
The body is like emitting light.
Mo Shaoheng was going to find Zhao Di at this time, because his little shopkeeper mainly went to Zhao Di's two streets to sell things in front of other people's shops. If he didn't say hello, he was afraid he would be chased away.
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, the popularity here was gathered by his three-street battle, it wouldn't be too much to ask his family's peddler to sell something on Zhao Di's street.
At this time, Guozijian, Zhao Jingcheng and other fifteen bullies were still waiting anxiously for Mo Shaoheng to take them to skip class.
It's a pity that I didn't come when the flowers were all withered.
When Mo Shaoheng found Zhao Di, Zhao Di was drinking tea in his private room on the two streets.
Mo Shaoheng explained his purpose.
Zhao Di and Zhinan Zhibei behind him had strange expressions.
What is Shizi thinking?
There are many good people in Beiliang, but no one dares to take in so many little beggars. These little beggars are too small to do work at all. This is a long-term thing, and even a big family business can be dragged down.
Seeing the expressions of the three people, Mo Shaoheng probably knew what they were thinking, and said, "This deal is not a loss, I am especially good at doing business."
You only need to cover food and housing. If you are in modern times, where such a good thing comes from, you have to sue him directly.
As for the issue of child labor, different eras should have different ways of thinking. It is not in line with the status quo if measured by modern concepts, because at least for now, if Mo Shaoheng does not help these little beggars, everyone will still will maintain the status quo.
Of course, Mo Shaoheng's original intention was not to let them work as child laborers, so naturally he would not arrange for them to do things beyond their age.
In ancient times, children were sensible early on. It is good to be a small shopkeeper and learn to be self-reliant instead of getting used to being rescued.
Zhao Di: "..."
Especially good at doing business?
He couldn't help but glanced at the street next door, where there were only some small shopkeepers.
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
Was he slapped in the face?
He had to figure out a way to do it, and now he clearly felt the financial pressure.
Unexpectedly, the dignified son, the top nobleman, would also worry about money sometimes.
At this time, Zhao Di started to talk about business, "The sage has decided to build water conservancy."
It seems that the officials of the imperial court have already discussed a result.
Zhao Di looked at Mo Shaoheng: "Prince Zhao Lan is in charge of this matter."
Zhinan and Zhibei looked at Mo Shaoheng strangely when they heard the words, because their master actually gave up such a significant matter, which is completely unimaginable, logically, no matter what, they have to intervene .
It is estimated that Zhao Lan is full of doubts in his heart now. The "fight" he had prepared was as effortless as hitting the water, and he didn't know if he was not at ease. .
As far as they knew, it was because of what the prince said to their master that their master completely gave up this opportunity.
They were anxious when they thought about it. If Zhao Lan really built a canal for Beiliang under the leadership of Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan's crown prince would be so stable that no one could shake it.
They really couldn't figure out what the prince had said to their master to have the current result.
Mo Shaoheng nodded.
It's funny to say, how much difficulty Zhao Lan will encounter depends on how much resentment the people of Xunzhou have towards Mo Shaoheng.
Mo Shaoheng thought for a while, "Your Highness, how about traveling outside the city tomorrow?"
"It's a great time to be out and about."
Knowing the South and the North: "..."
Take a look at the hot weather outside, is it a good time to play?
The key is where did their master come from.
As a result, Zhao Di nodded directly.
Zhinan Zhibei looked at each other: "..."
what's the situation?
Mo Shaoheng was about to bid farewell to Zhao Di, when Zhao Di suddenly took out a big bag and handed it to Mo Shaoheng.
Mo Shaoheng was taken aback, what is this?Quite heavy.
When I opened it, it was full of pieces of broken silver.
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
Could it be that Zhao Di saw that his business was too poor and was going to help him?
But these pieces of silver are not enough.
Zhao Di said, "You gave it to me before."
Mo Shaoheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that he used to cheat Zhao Di's trust with broken money every time.
All... so much?It's really beyond imagination.
But... what is Zhao Di trying to express now?Mo Shaoheng was somewhat guilty.
After saying goodbye, the bag of money was still not given to Mo Shaoheng, as if it was just for him to have a look?
Mo Shaoheng was thinking as he walked, could it be that Zhao Di was warning him not to do anything wrong to him again?
Wouldn't it be so?
But he didn't directly return the broken silver to him, contradicting himself.
Zhinan and Zhibei: "..."
Their master is becoming more and more incomprehensible now.
Mo Shaoheng returned to Zhenbei Palace.
The Guozijian actually sent someone over.
"My lord, I will let you continue to teach at the Imperial College tomorrow."
Mo Shaoheng was careful, didn't he say that Jijiu went to the saint to sue him?
Why did he suddenly resume his position as a teaching assistant for the four departments?
He won't be punished for leading students to skip class?What a strange thing.
but……
"Please tell Ji Jiu that I have to take a leave of absence for a while, the time is uncertain."
Visitor: "..."
On the first day of taking office, as a teaching assistant, I led the students in the whole dormitory to skip classes, and now... I have to take a leave of absence on the first day of taking office, and the time is still uncertain?
He opened his mouth.
But this kind of thing is not something he can question, his duty is to tell Jijiu.
Afterwards, Mo Shaoheng took Nan Yi to visit his grandmother, who was still taking the medicine he boiled every day, and had never stopped acupuncture and moxibustion.
It is worth mentioning that the bees in those two wooden barrels are considered to support their families, and they can see bee colonies coming in and out every day.
Nan Yi volunteered to catch bees, and he is particularly interested in controlling bees and administering needles recently.
Mo Shaoheng felt his grandmother's pulse, "How does grandma feel recently?"
Speaking of this, the old lady became amazed, "Something strange happened today."
Because Mo Shaoheng escaped from the catastrophe, her mood improved a lot. Sitting in a wheelchair all day long, it is convenient for her to walk around, and she can often be seen everywhere in the mansion.
"Today, I thought about how long the old pianos in the Qin Pavilion hadn't been wiped. I was afraid that they would be covered with dust, so I went to the Qin Pavilion."
"One of the pianos was placed a little higher. I never thought that I would stand up directly from the wheelchair."
Many people were surprised at the time.
Now that I think about it, I am amazed. She never thought that she would be able to stand up again one day. It is better to be able to walk freely than to sit.
Mo Shaoheng said while giving acupuncture to his grandmother, "This is a good thing."
"It is estimated that in another ten and a half days, I will be able to try to move around."
Grandma just burst into laughter, "You child, how can you learn and do what you want?"
She has seen many doctors with this problem, but unfortunately, none of them have seen the tree, so she thought it was just like that.
Nan Yi stuck out his head, "This is our young master's profession. The young master said that poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all just leisurely fun."
Made everyone in the room laugh.
The number one talented scholar in Beiliang, poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are just fun?
Mo Shaoheng also smiled, why did no one believe it.
……
On the second day, Mo Shaoheng prepared to find Zhao Di early, and they made an appointment to go out of the city together today.
After getting into the carriage, Nan Yi was sitting neatly inside, holding a piano in his hand, and there was a buzzing sound coming from a small box next to it, which should be bees caught.
Mo Shaoheng couldn't help asking, "What are you?"
"This is the guqin that the old lady gave me yesterday. I don't want to learn how to use the guqin to control bees to give people acupuncture."
After speaking, he scratched the strings with his hands.
The young master holds the qin every day, and his students are not allowed to learn from each other, otherwise how will others know that they are masters and apprentices.
Mo Shaoheng laughed, the boy probably ran to his grandmother to behave himself, so he begged for a piano.
Grandma's piano collection is also very good. Mo Shaoheng glanced at it, "This Guqin is a famous piano from the previous dynasty. , how can plum blossoms be so fragrant."
"Grandma is here to let you study hard and be fearless of hardships, so that you will always be there."
Nan nodded, "Master Shao is a world-renowned luthier, so where can the students go?"
Mo Shaoheng tapped Nan Yi's forehead, "You're bragging now, but if you can't close it in the future, it depends on what you do."
As the carriage moved forward, Mo Shaoheng just took advantage of the time when Nan was particularly interested in Guqin and explained the basics to him.
It's just that beginners learn to pluck the strings, even if they pluck them lightly in the carriage, the sound always makes people's brain hurt.
Fortunately, we arrived at the gate of the city in a short time.
According to the agreement, Zhao Di was already waiting there.
Li Yuan, the prince of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, was also there.
Li Yuan was still wondering, Zhao Di looked like he was waiting for someone, but who was he waiting for?
Mo Shaoheng stepped forward, "Your Highnesses have been waiting for a long time, I was delayed on the road for a while, and I am late."
Knowing the South and the North: "..."
What's the meaning?The prince also made an appointment with Li Yuan, the prince of the Eastern Tang Dynasty?
Li Yuan was also surprised for a moment. Now the anecdote between the three of them is spreading in the streets of Liangjing. There are, and he has to say it after hearing it, it's just like the real thing.
Mo Shaoheng actually asked the three of him to swim together at this time, it might be a bit more exciting.
But Zhao Di didn't look surprised.
Mo Shaoheng said, "This trip will require some time outside, are you two ready?"
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything. As for the new technology of salt making, as long as Mo Shaoheng gave it to him on the last day of the Gentleman's Covenant, that's all.
The mighty crowd walked out of the city.
Because he was going to go out for several days, Mo Shaoheng brought a lot of Eagle Guards, Zhao Di and Li Yuan also brought a lot of people, Qinglian Sword Lord was among them.
As soon as Beiliang Yingwei left the city, he naturally received a lot of attention.
The carriage that can use the eagle flag, of course everyone knows who is on the carriage.
Nan Yi opened the window and took a look, then quickly lowered the curtains, "Master, those refugees' eyes are not very friendly."
"He obviously lowered his head, but..."
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, these refugees are still in dire straits, but the culprit is going out in a big way, even if no other emotions are shown on his face, he may feel uncomfortable in his heart.
At this moment, Sword Lord Qinglian came over, "Your Highness asked me to ask, where are we going?"
He is still wondering that he actually travels in such a hot weather, isn't it too hot?Really weird hobby.
But they couldn't refuse Mo Shaoheng's invitation due to some reasons.
Mo Shaoheng replied, "I don't have any destination. I just returned to Beiliang and happened to look around. You just follow my carriage for now."
Sword Lord Qinglian: "..."
Mo Shaoheng's carriage always went to places with a lot of refugees.
Li Yuan also felt that Mo Shaoheng's hobbies were really special, didn't he see the expressions of those refugees?
Although he didn't dare to open his mouth, he could still feel some things. Isn't Mo Shaoheng playing around in front of these refugees just to incite hatred?
Not to mention, Li Yuan really hit the spot.
Mo Shaoheng only went to places where there were many refugees, one of the purposes was to sow hatred.
Of course, the second purpose is to observe the lives of refugees.
A lot of suffering is in front of your eyes. If you want to do something, you must know what the other party needs most.
His power alone is limited, no matter what kind of porridge relief he does, it will not help the huge number of refugees, and others may not even care about his relief.
He needs to observe, serve as a fulcrum, and then use a lever to pull this disaster.
But in the eyes of others, Mo Shaoheng's current behavior is simply beyond words.
The news spread in Liangjing, and the people of Liangjing were heartbroken for the refugees in Xundi.
"How could Mo Shaoheng... how could he act like he was enjoying himself in front of them."
"That's right, I heard that there are several carriages, followed by a large number of eagle guards, and the accompanying rough envoys and wives have all gone all the way. It looks like they are planning to go sightseeing."
The enjoyment of the nobles, regardless of whether the people live or die, is nothing more than this.
It's just that I heard that King Yan is actually on this list, isn't King Yan always strict with himself?
Naturally, many wind direction officials have made records and are ready to speak at the Golden Palace.
Mo Shaoheng did prepare a lot of things for this trip, because he didn't play casually as others thought, but had to play for several days.
After visiting half of the refugee site, the carriage entered the main road and headed north to Beiliang.
Mo Shaoheng thought for a while, got out of the carriage and went to Zhao Di's carriage.
Because Nan Yi is now practicing the piano as if he has been beaten with chicken blood. While practicing the piano, he mutters to the bees in his box, why don't you listen to him.
Diligence is naturally good, but... also avoid some people to practice.
Mo Shaoheng said to Zhao Di, "This time I will be scolded again."
Although he did it to cheat Zhao Lan and express his anger for himself, it was Zhao Di who got the benefit in the end, and he had to come to claim credit.
Zhao Di: "So?"
Mo Shaoheng straightened his body, "So, Your Highness King Yan, when I put money into your palm in the future, can you not refuse?"
Zhao Di's eyes narrowed. Is this telling him that there will be countless more crimes in the future?
Zhao Di didn't speak.
Mo Shaoheng felt a little embarrassed, and went back to the carriage in despair.
The weather is hot, and the carriage is heading north.
Li Yuan was puzzled, Mo Shaoheng didn't tell him the destination, he only said that he was traveling in mountains and rivers.
But he didn't look like he was going on a trip, he didn't stop all the way, no one would stay in the car all the time, it seemed like he was going straight to some destination.
On the first day I was on the road, on the second day I was still on the road, and on the third day I was still on the road.
Li Yuan couldn't hold back, and ran to Nan Yi who was tinkling and practicing piano, knocking sideways.
"Why does your young master stay in the carriage all the time? The scenery along the way is also quite good."
Nan Yi was frowning, these bees didn't listen to him at all, let alone manipulated these bees to give people acupuncture.
Without raising his head, he said, "Our young master is afraid of the sun, think about it, what will happen if we get our young master tanned?"
After I finished speaking, I trembled a bit, it was terrible.
Li Yuan: "..."
Afraid of the sun, then invite him to come out to play this season?
The fourth day, the fifth day, and the sixth day are still the same.
Fortunately, they brought enough supplies, because there was no time to replenish on the road.
At the beginning, the official road was still taken, and there were post stations for rest, but later it turned into a small road.
Even later, the carriage was impassable, and a mighty group of people began to walk.
Until the seventh day, they came to a small fishing village.
Li Yuan didn't get entangled anymore, because today is the last day of the gentleman's covenant, compared to this, even if Mo Shaoheng is unreasonable, it doesn't matter to him.
To the north of Beiliang is the desert. Next to the desert is a bay called Beihai Bay.
The places close to the desert and the Beihai Bay cannot grow any crops, and the area of influence is quite wide, which is one of the reasons why Beiliang is barren.
People in Beiliang often lament that their land is either dry, or for some unknown reason, it is impossible to plant at all.
Mo Shaoheng probably can tell a general reason, the desertification of the land and the pH value of the soil.
Of course, planting in deserts and seawater is a big problem even in modern times. Although there are some breakthroughs, there is still no technology that can be popularized on a large scale. Of course, Mo Shaoheng cannot solve it.
It is relatively remote here, except for a small fishing village that makes a living by fishing.
The team camped next to the small fishing village.
Li Yuan asked, "Is this your destination?"
It is bare and there is no one in the field. It doesn't look like a good place to play.
Mo Shaoheng said, "Don't you think the wind here is particularly comfortable? Liangjing is closer to the north, but there is little wind."
Here is a bay sea, blocking the wind that might blow into Liangjing.
Li Yuan: "..."
Well, those who have never seen Sea Breeze may be a bit surprised by this. The Eastern Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, and there is also an area near the sea. He has seen it before.
Li Yuan asked about the Gentleman's Covenant in a sideways manner.
Mo Shaoheng avoided answering, instead went to fetch water from the sea, saying it was for cooking.
Li Yuan followed, "At least he is the number one talented person in Beiliang, don't you know that sea water is inedible?"
Others also followed to dissuade.
Perhaps it is normal for the son to live in Nanli for many years without knowing the bitterness of the sea water.
Why there is only one small fishing village here in such a large sea is not because there is too little edible water.
Mo Shaoheng's face was "surprised", but he became interested, "I'm just playing around, you just leave me alone."
Everyone: "..."
Well, even if you want to drink seawater into your stomach, it's unbearable.
What made people shake their heads was that Mo Shaoheng was actually holding a pot to boil seawater there.
Naturally, the servants can't say anything, just treat it as a game, although this hobby is really incomprehensible.
Li Yuan also watched for a while, only to see that Mo Shaoheng boiled the seawater several times and filtered the fine sand over and over again.
The corners of the mouth twitched, thinking, no matter how many times you cook it, it is still inedible.
But Zhao Di, ever since he came here, his eyes never left what Mo Shaoheng was doing.
He even simply sat next to Mo Shaoheng.
Mo Shaoheng glanced at Zhao Di, and the two of them knew each other.
Mo Shaoheng boiled for a long time, more than half of the water in the pot evaporated before stopping.
It seemed that he finally felt bored, and poured the water in the pot onto a flat stone with a little groove, and then came over to prepare for dinner.
Nan Yi: "Is boiling water that fun?"
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
I thought he wanted to.
Li Yuan looked at the scorching sun: "It's too hot here, where should we go in the afternoon?"
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
It was Zhao Di who suddenly said, "It's not bad here."
Li Yuan: "..."
A bunch of weirdos.
Then he started to wink at Mo Shaoheng again, the time for a gentleman's appointment has come.
Zhibei and Zhinan in the back were almost dumbfounded. What is this Eastern Tang prince... doing?
How shameless, flirting with a person who is engaged to a marriage in public.
The king of Yan is still here, and they all say that the Eastern Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, so why don't they think that etiquette has gone wrong.
Zhao Di looked at Mo Shaoheng.
Mo Shaoheng cared about his eyes and nose, he was blind, he couldn't see anything.
In fact, the wind blowing by the sea is quite comfortable, but Mo Shaoheng also knows how much damage the reflection of the sea under the sun can do.
He simply hid in the carriage, opened all the curtains, let the sea breeze blow, and taught Nan Yi the most basic fingering skills.
These days, I have also told Nan Yi about the basics, and it is time to start practicing fingering.
Nan Yi, "Master, when can I make these bees obey?"
Mo Shaoheng said, "When you can express your own emotions with the sound of the piano, it will be almost the same."
This is actually a matter of innate talent. Even if some people play the piano well, there are only skills left, but there is no soul in the sound of the piano.
Some people's piano sounds seem ugly, but they can already express the emotions of the piano player.
Of course, there are shortcuts that can be taken. After returning home, he borrowed a cow and asked Nan to play against the cow every day. The progress should be good.
Li Yuan looked at Mo Shaoheng teaching Nan Yi how to play the piano in such an environment, and sighed that he was a weird person.
The summer is so hot that I just fell asleep, so I just went back to the carriage to take a nap.
I don't know how long this sleep has passed.
Until, suddenly there were exclamations and exclamations from around.
Li Yuan got off the carriage with some doubts, and then walked towards a group of people surrounding him.
"what happened?"
What's going on with Mo Shaoheng, with a surprised expression on his face?
I saw Mo Shaoheng pointing to the stone next to him, "Salt!"
"I actually boiled salt out of sea water!"
In fact, Mo Shaoheng also understood that such rough boiled salt was not edible at all, and he just let people know about this "accident".
Li Yuan looked sideways suddenly, a layer of white crystals had appeared on the stone, whiter than the most commonly used rock salt.
He hurried forward, dipped a little bit with his hand, and put it in his mouth.
The entire pair of eyes shrank. Although there was still some bitter taste, it was definitely salt.
Very smooth, clean salt, even stronger than ordinary salt.
How could this be?
Then my heart was shocked, today is the last day of the gentleman's covenant.
Looking back at Mo Shaoheng.
Mo Shaoheng was still "shocked" that he had boiled salt, and...a huge amount of salt was produced.
The surrounding soldiers looked at Li Yuan with unkind eyes, and Sword Lord Qinglian also put his hand on the sword.
If the prince of an ordinary small country sees such a scene "accidentally" in another country, it may be difficult to return to the country.
However, Li Yuan was not afraid. He was called the Shang Kingdom in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, so he naturally had confidence and reasons.
Li Yuan looked at Mo Shaoheng for a while, and Zhao Di for a while.
Combined with the rush along the way, "..."
Mo Shaoheng "accidentally" discovered a large number of salt-making crafts, and he happened to see it. Beiliang didn't dare to take him seriously, so he returned to Dongtang with the salt-making crafts he "accidentally" saw , it became a matter of course.
Who dares to say that Mo Shaoheng is an enemy of Dongtang?Obviously the imperial court wanted to release Li Yuan back to Eastern Tang.
Even Mo Shaoheng's discovery of the new technique of salt is due to Beiliang.
That is to say, it did not harm the interests of Beiliang, nor was it suspected of being an enemy, but there was an extra Eastern Tang prince who accidentally learned about the new salt-making process.
And Zhao Di is a witness with sufficient weight in this incident.
Zhao Di is already arranging for people to seal off the scene.
Such a big matter naturally has to be verified first, and then reported to the higher authorities.
Of course, the people from Dongtang cannot be allowed to leave.
Li Yuan: "..."
It stands to reason that even if he leaves, Mo Shaoheng will give him the craftsmanship.
But as a person who "accidentally" discovered such a big secret, even if he was driven away, he would not leave. It was normal for him to stay and figure out the situation.
Mo Shaoheng was still there to remind, "Don't keep stuffing salt into your mouth, it's not filtered thoroughly, it's poisonous."
Li Yuan: "..."
You just discovered the salt making process, you know it is poisonous?Can you pretend to be a little bit like that.
Zhao Di was arranging for people to follow Mo Shaoheng's steps of cooking salt at the beginning, and Mo Shaoheng was still pointing out, "I seem to be like this at the beginning..."
Salt, this kind of thing is too important. If Mo Shaoheng had something to make salt and sell it by himself, he would probably be tired of his work. Taking Beiliang as an example, even selling salt privately is a felony, let alone selling salt on a large scale. salt.
He can only take it out in a suitable way and at the right time, one is to benefit the people, and by the way, he can also exchange some credit for him, the capital to gain a foothold.
On the second day, a fast horse galloped towards Liangjing.
The person on the horse is holding a blood-red eagle flag.
This is the [-]-mile urgent flag of the Northern Liangying Division. Even the Liangjing Guards can't stop it, and those who stop it will die!
The eagle division seems to have disappeared 20 years ago, but it didn't. The saint promised that the Zhenbei Palace retained the number of the eagle division. Naturally, the blood-red eagle flag is still valid.
Of course, such an eagle flag cannot be used in any situation.
The post stations on the official road are always ready with horses, so that they can change horses in case of emergency.
……
Beiliang, Liangjing, is as hot as ever.
At this time, a wisp of smoke and dust came from the official road in the distance.
The general guarding the gate frowned, and was about to speak when he heard the hurried sound from the galloping horse.
"Falconer Blood Flag, give way quickly."
what?
Before everyone could react, the general had stood up unbelievably. It's been too long. It's been a long time since I heard this voice.
Hands are shaking, but why?Eagle Master is no longer there, but why did Eagle Master's blood flag appear in front of the city gate again.
But it was too late to think about it, and shouted, "Let it go, let it go
"Do you want to buy steamed stuffed buns? Steamed stuffed buns that just came out of the cage."
The man didn't answer, but said, "Little beggar, what are you doing?"
Douzi replied, "We are selling steamed buns to the prince."
Speaking of this, the whole face couldn't help laughing, "We only need to carry the box around the street a few times a day, and then we can eat buns at the son's bun shop."
"The prince gave us a place to live. He is making beds for us now. The prince said that he will give us new clothes every day."
"We are not little beggars now, we are little peddlers of Shizi's family."
It still seemed a little immature voice, no matter how you listened, you could hear the joy in the voice.
Say goodbye to the eaves of the ruined temple, no need to smile and beg, no need to flatter, they have clean clothes to wear, clean places to live, and food to eat.
The worries and fears I used to have every day seem to have become expectations.
The three words "little shopkeeper" are their new identities, and they seem to have given them new hope.
Seeing the person in front of him stunned, Douzi scratched his head and left reluctantly.
In the past, they would have to say something nice, maybe someone was kind, and would give them something to eat when they were pitiful. This is what they had to learn when they were beggars.
But Shizi said that they don't need to do this, they just need to yell and pass by the crowd, even if no one buys, just leave.
In fact, although he is young, he understands that if he forcibly drags people to buy things, he will be hated by others, just like they used to beg around people, and he would even be pushed to the ground and beaten and scolded...
It's just that no one bought his steamed stuffed buns, so he was somewhat disappointed. The world is so kind, and steamed stuffed buns are so delicious, why don't these people buy them?
When he went out just now, he went to pick up two big buns to eat. This was definitely the sweetest and most delicious food he had ever eaten.
Thinking of this, Xiaozui couldn't help licking his lips, because Shi Zi said that they can still go to get buns to eat at noon, and they are not allowed to secretly hide the buns for the next meal, saying that it is not clean and hygienic.
They were very happy at that time, and a group of little beggars started to talk about cleanliness and hygiene.
But it's true, if they don't like cleanliness, others will definitely not buy their buns, so before going out just now, they washed themselves as if they were different people, and their little hands were like a new pair.
They are not much different from the children of ordinary people in Liangjing.
I'm very happy just thinking about it.
And the people of Liangjing, looking at these small shopkeepers hanging from a small wooden box and yelling, finally reacted.
There was an uproar, and some people even gasped.
"Mo Shaoheng actually took in a little beggar from Liangjing."
"Do you know how many little beggars there are in Liangjing?"
From what the little beggar said just now, it seemed that he was still accepting the little beggars who came.
Feeding so many people for nothing is simply unimaginable.
"What the hell is Mo Shaoheng doing?"
"Even if the Zhenbei Prince's family has a big business, it's not enough to toss about."
They are used to seeing the little beggars in Liangjing. Well-meaning people may occasionally give a little bit of charity, and more people... have become numb to seeing them.
Mo Shaoheng is too prodigal.
But... There are also some people who are silent.
If... If this person is not Mo Shaoheng, they will definitely buy some of the goods sold by these small peddlers.
At this time, Mo Shaoheng was in the warehouse, watching the craftsman Uncle Yu make bunk beds.
He had to watch and make the first bed, but he didn't have to worry about the rest.
The bed has three floors. In fact, with Master Yu's craftsmanship, it is not difficult. Mo Shaoheng reminded him to make a small ladder to climb up and down. After all, they are all young children.
There are three layers of beds, only two layers can sleep people, and the bottom layer is made into a simple cabinet, which can be used to store things, or lie on top of the cabinet...to do homework.
In fact, it is a bit like the bunk bed in the student dormitory of a modern school.
Uncle Yu led a lot of people to make according to Mo Shaoheng's request. Naturally, they didn't dare to delay Mo Shaoheng too much time and tried their best to complete the samples.
The shelf for the first bunk bed has been built, and Mo Shaoheng is checking the firmness.
The bed looked quite nice.
Uncle Yu opened his mouth, and finally said, "That's why the son is kind."
In fact, it is for some little beggars to live in, so there is no need to make it so delicate.
Even if the manpower is their own, it doesn't need to be included in the cost, but buying wood is still an expense.
In addition, the prince is still taking in little beggars, a warehouse is definitely not enough, and the wood for the bed still has to be purchased.
It's also fortunate that the warehouse belongs to their Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, otherwise...
Just as he was thinking, Mo Shaoheng said at this time, "I have to make some chairs and put them in front of the cabinets of the bunk beds, otherwise there won't even be a place to sit."
Uncle Yu: "..."
This went straight into the afternoon.
The general appearance of the first bunk bed was also placed in front of him, and a dozen skillful hands put together a bed, and the timing was considered appropriate.
The three-story bed is not too short, and a log chair is placed in front of the high and low beds.
The unique original color of wood, the style never seen before.
Uncle Yu was a little surprised. Although the design is simple, it seems to be designed for multi-person living.
It's quite...beautiful.
If Mo Shaoheng knew what Uncle Yu was thinking, he would definitely say that it was originally designed for the collective dormitory, which naturally fits the use of the space best, and also contains some aesthetics.
Mo Shaoheng said, "We will follow this standard in the future, and pay special attention to the issue of firmness."
Uncle Yu nodded.
At this time, Dou Zi and a few small shopkeepers just came back.
The prince said that they only need to go to the street at a fixed time to sip, and they don’t have to stay there all the time, because others are not willing to buy, no matter how they pass by them, they still won’t buy, so they are all arranged, a group of small shopkeepers are separated by a certain distance go once.
Although they don't think they're tired at all, they have energy running around all day.
They're coming home now, yes, coming home, they have a home, a home that's sheltered from the elements, sheltered from being driven away.
Seeing a few little heads looking into the warehouse, Mo Shaoheng beckoned and let them in, just to let them feel it for themselves.
Put the beans on the second bed, "How?"
Bean blinked his eyes, and carefully touched the wooden board below.
It was thick and clean, not at all dirty and damp like where they used to lie.
It also looks very good-looking.
Is this their future bed?
In fact, they felt that even if they let them sleep on the floor, they would be very happy.
Now...they actually have a bed.
Mo Shaoheng asked Douzi to try to lie on the bed.
Douzi lay neatly, motionless, so comfortable that he could imagine how comfortable it would be to sleep on it at night.
That's great, I touched the bed board lightly with my hand, I really couldn't bear it to the extreme.
Mo Shaoheng nodded. Uncle Yu's craftsmanship is indeed good, completely in line with his expectations.
Then he let Bean climb down the ladder and sat on the chair in front of the cabinet to try it out.
The ladder is quite easy to use. The ancient mortise and tenon structure is simply a legendary art. It can be fixed without iron nails, and it is very firm.
The chair was a little high, and Doudou had to rub his feet to climb it.
But it's okay, kids like this grow up pretty fast.
Mo Shaoheng explained a few words, nodded Douzi's forehead, and then left.
Before leaving, he asked, "Douzi, how are our steamed buns and ice cream doing?"
After getting the answer, Mo Shaoheng: "..."
Well, if you can't sell it, you can give it to these small shopkeepers to eat, so you don't have to cook it at night.
I ordered again to ask Uncle Yu to make some stone mills for Baozipu. They are now selling buns. It is impossible to use stone nests every time they grind flour.
The children were like in a dream, unable to wake up no matter what, looking at Mo Shaoheng who was leaving with his guqin in his arms, their son must be a fairy, with good looks and a good heart.
The body is like emitting light.
Mo Shaoheng was going to find Zhao Di at this time, because his little shopkeeper mainly went to Zhao Di's two streets to sell things in front of other people's shops. If he didn't say hello, he was afraid he would be chased away.
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, the popularity here was gathered by his three-street battle, it wouldn't be too much to ask his family's peddler to sell something on Zhao Di's street.
At this time, Guozijian, Zhao Jingcheng and other fifteen bullies were still waiting anxiously for Mo Shaoheng to take them to skip class.
It's a pity that I didn't come when the flowers were all withered.
When Mo Shaoheng found Zhao Di, Zhao Di was drinking tea in his private room on the two streets.
Mo Shaoheng explained his purpose.
Zhao Di and Zhinan Zhibei behind him had strange expressions.
What is Shizi thinking?
There are many good people in Beiliang, but no one dares to take in so many little beggars. These little beggars are too small to do work at all. This is a long-term thing, and even a big family business can be dragged down.
Seeing the expressions of the three people, Mo Shaoheng probably knew what they were thinking, and said, "This deal is not a loss, I am especially good at doing business."
You only need to cover food and housing. If you are in modern times, where such a good thing comes from, you have to sue him directly.
As for the issue of child labor, different eras should have different ways of thinking. It is not in line with the status quo if measured by modern concepts, because at least for now, if Mo Shaoheng does not help these little beggars, everyone will still will maintain the status quo.
Of course, Mo Shaoheng's original intention was not to let them work as child laborers, so naturally he would not arrange for them to do things beyond their age.
In ancient times, children were sensible early on. It is good to be a small shopkeeper and learn to be self-reliant instead of getting used to being rescued.
Zhao Di: "..."
Especially good at doing business?
He couldn't help but glanced at the street next door, where there were only some small shopkeepers.
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
Was he slapped in the face?
He had to figure out a way to do it, and now he clearly felt the financial pressure.
Unexpectedly, the dignified son, the top nobleman, would also worry about money sometimes.
At this time, Zhao Di started to talk about business, "The sage has decided to build water conservancy."
It seems that the officials of the imperial court have already discussed a result.
Zhao Di looked at Mo Shaoheng: "Prince Zhao Lan is in charge of this matter."
Zhinan and Zhibei looked at Mo Shaoheng strangely when they heard the words, because their master actually gave up such a significant matter, which is completely unimaginable, logically, no matter what, they have to intervene .
It is estimated that Zhao Lan is full of doubts in his heart now. The "fight" he had prepared was as effortless as hitting the water, and he didn't know if he was not at ease. .
As far as they knew, it was because of what the prince said to their master that their master completely gave up this opportunity.
They were anxious when they thought about it. If Zhao Lan really built a canal for Beiliang under the leadership of Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan's crown prince would be so stable that no one could shake it.
They really couldn't figure out what the prince had said to their master to have the current result.
Mo Shaoheng nodded.
It's funny to say, how much difficulty Zhao Lan will encounter depends on how much resentment the people of Xunzhou have towards Mo Shaoheng.
Mo Shaoheng thought for a while, "Your Highness, how about traveling outside the city tomorrow?"
"It's a great time to be out and about."
Knowing the South and the North: "..."
Take a look at the hot weather outside, is it a good time to play?
The key is where did their master come from.
As a result, Zhao Di nodded directly.
Zhinan Zhibei looked at each other: "..."
what's the situation?
Mo Shaoheng was about to bid farewell to Zhao Di, when Zhao Di suddenly took out a big bag and handed it to Mo Shaoheng.
Mo Shaoheng was taken aback, what is this?Quite heavy.
When I opened it, it was full of pieces of broken silver.
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
Could it be that Zhao Di saw that his business was too poor and was going to help him?
But these pieces of silver are not enough.
Zhao Di said, "You gave it to me before."
Mo Shaoheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that he used to cheat Zhao Di's trust with broken money every time.
All... so much?It's really beyond imagination.
But... what is Zhao Di trying to express now?Mo Shaoheng was somewhat guilty.
After saying goodbye, the bag of money was still not given to Mo Shaoheng, as if it was just for him to have a look?
Mo Shaoheng was thinking as he walked, could it be that Zhao Di was warning him not to do anything wrong to him again?
Wouldn't it be so?
But he didn't directly return the broken silver to him, contradicting himself.
Zhinan and Zhibei: "..."
Their master is becoming more and more incomprehensible now.
Mo Shaoheng returned to Zhenbei Palace.
The Guozijian actually sent someone over.
"My lord, I will let you continue to teach at the Imperial College tomorrow."
Mo Shaoheng was careful, didn't he say that Jijiu went to the saint to sue him?
Why did he suddenly resume his position as a teaching assistant for the four departments?
He won't be punished for leading students to skip class?What a strange thing.
but……
"Please tell Ji Jiu that I have to take a leave of absence for a while, the time is uncertain."
Visitor: "..."
On the first day of taking office, as a teaching assistant, I led the students in the whole dormitory to skip classes, and now... I have to take a leave of absence on the first day of taking office, and the time is still uncertain?
He opened his mouth.
But this kind of thing is not something he can question, his duty is to tell Jijiu.
Afterwards, Mo Shaoheng took Nan Yi to visit his grandmother, who was still taking the medicine he boiled every day, and had never stopped acupuncture and moxibustion.
It is worth mentioning that the bees in those two wooden barrels are considered to support their families, and they can see bee colonies coming in and out every day.
Nan Yi volunteered to catch bees, and he is particularly interested in controlling bees and administering needles recently.
Mo Shaoheng felt his grandmother's pulse, "How does grandma feel recently?"
Speaking of this, the old lady became amazed, "Something strange happened today."
Because Mo Shaoheng escaped from the catastrophe, her mood improved a lot. Sitting in a wheelchair all day long, it is convenient for her to walk around, and she can often be seen everywhere in the mansion.
"Today, I thought about how long the old pianos in the Qin Pavilion hadn't been wiped. I was afraid that they would be covered with dust, so I went to the Qin Pavilion."
"One of the pianos was placed a little higher. I never thought that I would stand up directly from the wheelchair."
Many people were surprised at the time.
Now that I think about it, I am amazed. She never thought that she would be able to stand up again one day. It is better to be able to walk freely than to sit.
Mo Shaoheng said while giving acupuncture to his grandmother, "This is a good thing."
"It is estimated that in another ten and a half days, I will be able to try to move around."
Grandma just burst into laughter, "You child, how can you learn and do what you want?"
She has seen many doctors with this problem, but unfortunately, none of them have seen the tree, so she thought it was just like that.
Nan Yi stuck out his head, "This is our young master's profession. The young master said that poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all just leisurely fun."
Made everyone in the room laugh.
The number one talented scholar in Beiliang, poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are just fun?
Mo Shaoheng also smiled, why did no one believe it.
……
On the second day, Mo Shaoheng prepared to find Zhao Di early, and they made an appointment to go out of the city together today.
After getting into the carriage, Nan Yi was sitting neatly inside, holding a piano in his hand, and there was a buzzing sound coming from a small box next to it, which should be bees caught.
Mo Shaoheng couldn't help asking, "What are you?"
"This is the guqin that the old lady gave me yesterday. I don't want to learn how to use the guqin to control bees to give people acupuncture."
After speaking, he scratched the strings with his hands.
The young master holds the qin every day, and his students are not allowed to learn from each other, otherwise how will others know that they are masters and apprentices.
Mo Shaoheng laughed, the boy probably ran to his grandmother to behave himself, so he begged for a piano.
Grandma's piano collection is also very good. Mo Shaoheng glanced at it, "This Guqin is a famous piano from the previous dynasty. , how can plum blossoms be so fragrant."
"Grandma is here to let you study hard and be fearless of hardships, so that you will always be there."
Nan nodded, "Master Shao is a world-renowned luthier, so where can the students go?"
Mo Shaoheng tapped Nan Yi's forehead, "You're bragging now, but if you can't close it in the future, it depends on what you do."
As the carriage moved forward, Mo Shaoheng just took advantage of the time when Nan was particularly interested in Guqin and explained the basics to him.
It's just that beginners learn to pluck the strings, even if they pluck them lightly in the carriage, the sound always makes people's brain hurt.
Fortunately, we arrived at the gate of the city in a short time.
According to the agreement, Zhao Di was already waiting there.
Li Yuan, the prince of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, was also there.
Li Yuan was still wondering, Zhao Di looked like he was waiting for someone, but who was he waiting for?
Mo Shaoheng stepped forward, "Your Highnesses have been waiting for a long time, I was delayed on the road for a while, and I am late."
Knowing the South and the North: "..."
What's the meaning?The prince also made an appointment with Li Yuan, the prince of the Eastern Tang Dynasty?
Li Yuan was also surprised for a moment. Now the anecdote between the three of them is spreading in the streets of Liangjing. There are, and he has to say it after hearing it, it's just like the real thing.
Mo Shaoheng actually asked the three of him to swim together at this time, it might be a bit more exciting.
But Zhao Di didn't look surprised.
Mo Shaoheng said, "This trip will require some time outside, are you two ready?"
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything. As for the new technology of salt making, as long as Mo Shaoheng gave it to him on the last day of the Gentleman's Covenant, that's all.
The mighty crowd walked out of the city.
Because he was going to go out for several days, Mo Shaoheng brought a lot of Eagle Guards, Zhao Di and Li Yuan also brought a lot of people, Qinglian Sword Lord was among them.
As soon as Beiliang Yingwei left the city, he naturally received a lot of attention.
The carriage that can use the eagle flag, of course everyone knows who is on the carriage.
Nan Yi opened the window and took a look, then quickly lowered the curtains, "Master, those refugees' eyes are not very friendly."
"He obviously lowered his head, but..."
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, these refugees are still in dire straits, but the culprit is going out in a big way, even if no other emotions are shown on his face, he may feel uncomfortable in his heart.
At this moment, Sword Lord Qinglian came over, "Your Highness asked me to ask, where are we going?"
He is still wondering that he actually travels in such a hot weather, isn't it too hot?Really weird hobby.
But they couldn't refuse Mo Shaoheng's invitation due to some reasons.
Mo Shaoheng replied, "I don't have any destination. I just returned to Beiliang and happened to look around. You just follow my carriage for now."
Sword Lord Qinglian: "..."
Mo Shaoheng's carriage always went to places with a lot of refugees.
Li Yuan also felt that Mo Shaoheng's hobbies were really special, didn't he see the expressions of those refugees?
Although he didn't dare to open his mouth, he could still feel some things. Isn't Mo Shaoheng playing around in front of these refugees just to incite hatred?
Not to mention, Li Yuan really hit the spot.
Mo Shaoheng only went to places where there were many refugees, one of the purposes was to sow hatred.
Of course, the second purpose is to observe the lives of refugees.
A lot of suffering is in front of your eyes. If you want to do something, you must know what the other party needs most.
His power alone is limited, no matter what kind of porridge relief he does, it will not help the huge number of refugees, and others may not even care about his relief.
He needs to observe, serve as a fulcrum, and then use a lever to pull this disaster.
But in the eyes of others, Mo Shaoheng's current behavior is simply beyond words.
The news spread in Liangjing, and the people of Liangjing were heartbroken for the refugees in Xundi.
"How could Mo Shaoheng... how could he act like he was enjoying himself in front of them."
"That's right, I heard that there are several carriages, followed by a large number of eagle guards, and the accompanying rough envoys and wives have all gone all the way. It looks like they are planning to go sightseeing."
The enjoyment of the nobles, regardless of whether the people live or die, is nothing more than this.
It's just that I heard that King Yan is actually on this list, isn't King Yan always strict with himself?
Naturally, many wind direction officials have made records and are ready to speak at the Golden Palace.
Mo Shaoheng did prepare a lot of things for this trip, because he didn't play casually as others thought, but had to play for several days.
After visiting half of the refugee site, the carriage entered the main road and headed north to Beiliang.
Mo Shaoheng thought for a while, got out of the carriage and went to Zhao Di's carriage.
Because Nan Yi is now practicing the piano as if he has been beaten with chicken blood. While practicing the piano, he mutters to the bees in his box, why don't you listen to him.
Diligence is naturally good, but... also avoid some people to practice.
Mo Shaoheng said to Zhao Di, "This time I will be scolded again."
Although he did it to cheat Zhao Lan and express his anger for himself, it was Zhao Di who got the benefit in the end, and he had to come to claim credit.
Zhao Di: "So?"
Mo Shaoheng straightened his body, "So, Your Highness King Yan, when I put money into your palm in the future, can you not refuse?"
Zhao Di's eyes narrowed. Is this telling him that there will be countless more crimes in the future?
Zhao Di didn't speak.
Mo Shaoheng felt a little embarrassed, and went back to the carriage in despair.
The weather is hot, and the carriage is heading north.
Li Yuan was puzzled, Mo Shaoheng didn't tell him the destination, he only said that he was traveling in mountains and rivers.
But he didn't look like he was going on a trip, he didn't stop all the way, no one would stay in the car all the time, it seemed like he was going straight to some destination.
On the first day I was on the road, on the second day I was still on the road, and on the third day I was still on the road.
Li Yuan couldn't hold back, and ran to Nan Yi who was tinkling and practicing piano, knocking sideways.
"Why does your young master stay in the carriage all the time? The scenery along the way is also quite good."
Nan Yi was frowning, these bees didn't listen to him at all, let alone manipulated these bees to give people acupuncture.
Without raising his head, he said, "Our young master is afraid of the sun, think about it, what will happen if we get our young master tanned?"
After I finished speaking, I trembled a bit, it was terrible.
Li Yuan: "..."
Afraid of the sun, then invite him to come out to play this season?
The fourth day, the fifth day, and the sixth day are still the same.
Fortunately, they brought enough supplies, because there was no time to replenish on the road.
At the beginning, the official road was still taken, and there were post stations for rest, but later it turned into a small road.
Even later, the carriage was impassable, and a mighty group of people began to walk.
Until the seventh day, they came to a small fishing village.
Li Yuan didn't get entangled anymore, because today is the last day of the gentleman's covenant, compared to this, even if Mo Shaoheng is unreasonable, it doesn't matter to him.
To the north of Beiliang is the desert. Next to the desert is a bay called Beihai Bay.
The places close to the desert and the Beihai Bay cannot grow any crops, and the area of influence is quite wide, which is one of the reasons why Beiliang is barren.
People in Beiliang often lament that their land is either dry, or for some unknown reason, it is impossible to plant at all.
Mo Shaoheng probably can tell a general reason, the desertification of the land and the pH value of the soil.
Of course, planting in deserts and seawater is a big problem even in modern times. Although there are some breakthroughs, there is still no technology that can be popularized on a large scale. Of course, Mo Shaoheng cannot solve it.
It is relatively remote here, except for a small fishing village that makes a living by fishing.
The team camped next to the small fishing village.
Li Yuan asked, "Is this your destination?"
It is bare and there is no one in the field. It doesn't look like a good place to play.
Mo Shaoheng said, "Don't you think the wind here is particularly comfortable? Liangjing is closer to the north, but there is little wind."
Here is a bay sea, blocking the wind that might blow into Liangjing.
Li Yuan: "..."
Well, those who have never seen Sea Breeze may be a bit surprised by this. The Eastern Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, and there is also an area near the sea. He has seen it before.
Li Yuan asked about the Gentleman's Covenant in a sideways manner.
Mo Shaoheng avoided answering, instead went to fetch water from the sea, saying it was for cooking.
Li Yuan followed, "At least he is the number one talented person in Beiliang, don't you know that sea water is inedible?"
Others also followed to dissuade.
Perhaps it is normal for the son to live in Nanli for many years without knowing the bitterness of the sea water.
Why there is only one small fishing village here in such a large sea is not because there is too little edible water.
Mo Shaoheng's face was "surprised", but he became interested, "I'm just playing around, you just leave me alone."
Everyone: "..."
Well, even if you want to drink seawater into your stomach, it's unbearable.
What made people shake their heads was that Mo Shaoheng was actually holding a pot to boil seawater there.
Naturally, the servants can't say anything, just treat it as a game, although this hobby is really incomprehensible.
Li Yuan also watched for a while, only to see that Mo Shaoheng boiled the seawater several times and filtered the fine sand over and over again.
The corners of the mouth twitched, thinking, no matter how many times you cook it, it is still inedible.
But Zhao Di, ever since he came here, his eyes never left what Mo Shaoheng was doing.
He even simply sat next to Mo Shaoheng.
Mo Shaoheng glanced at Zhao Di, and the two of them knew each other.
Mo Shaoheng boiled for a long time, more than half of the water in the pot evaporated before stopping.
It seemed that he finally felt bored, and poured the water in the pot onto a flat stone with a little groove, and then came over to prepare for dinner.
Nan Yi: "Is boiling water that fun?"
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
I thought he wanted to.
Li Yuan looked at the scorching sun: "It's too hot here, where should we go in the afternoon?"
Mo Shaoheng: "..."
It was Zhao Di who suddenly said, "It's not bad here."
Li Yuan: "..."
A bunch of weirdos.
Then he started to wink at Mo Shaoheng again, the time for a gentleman's appointment has come.
Zhibei and Zhinan in the back were almost dumbfounded. What is this Eastern Tang prince... doing?
How shameless, flirting with a person who is engaged to a marriage in public.
The king of Yan is still here, and they all say that the Eastern Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, so why don't they think that etiquette has gone wrong.
Zhao Di looked at Mo Shaoheng.
Mo Shaoheng cared about his eyes and nose, he was blind, he couldn't see anything.
In fact, the wind blowing by the sea is quite comfortable, but Mo Shaoheng also knows how much damage the reflection of the sea under the sun can do.
He simply hid in the carriage, opened all the curtains, let the sea breeze blow, and taught Nan Yi the most basic fingering skills.
These days, I have also told Nan Yi about the basics, and it is time to start practicing fingering.
Nan Yi, "Master, when can I make these bees obey?"
Mo Shaoheng said, "When you can express your own emotions with the sound of the piano, it will be almost the same."
This is actually a matter of innate talent. Even if some people play the piano well, there are only skills left, but there is no soul in the sound of the piano.
Some people's piano sounds seem ugly, but they can already express the emotions of the piano player.
Of course, there are shortcuts that can be taken. After returning home, he borrowed a cow and asked Nan to play against the cow every day. The progress should be good.
Li Yuan looked at Mo Shaoheng teaching Nan Yi how to play the piano in such an environment, and sighed that he was a weird person.
The summer is so hot that I just fell asleep, so I just went back to the carriage to take a nap.
I don't know how long this sleep has passed.
Until, suddenly there were exclamations and exclamations from around.
Li Yuan got off the carriage with some doubts, and then walked towards a group of people surrounding him.
"what happened?"
What's going on with Mo Shaoheng, with a surprised expression on his face?
I saw Mo Shaoheng pointing to the stone next to him, "Salt!"
"I actually boiled salt out of sea water!"
In fact, Mo Shaoheng also understood that such rough boiled salt was not edible at all, and he just let people know about this "accident".
Li Yuan looked sideways suddenly, a layer of white crystals had appeared on the stone, whiter than the most commonly used rock salt.
He hurried forward, dipped a little bit with his hand, and put it in his mouth.
The entire pair of eyes shrank. Although there was still some bitter taste, it was definitely salt.
Very smooth, clean salt, even stronger than ordinary salt.
How could this be?
Then my heart was shocked, today is the last day of the gentleman's covenant.
Looking back at Mo Shaoheng.
Mo Shaoheng was still "shocked" that he had boiled salt, and...a huge amount of salt was produced.
The surrounding soldiers looked at Li Yuan with unkind eyes, and Sword Lord Qinglian also put his hand on the sword.
If the prince of an ordinary small country sees such a scene "accidentally" in another country, it may be difficult to return to the country.
However, Li Yuan was not afraid. He was called the Shang Kingdom in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, so he naturally had confidence and reasons.
Li Yuan looked at Mo Shaoheng for a while, and Zhao Di for a while.
Combined with the rush along the way, "..."
Mo Shaoheng "accidentally" discovered a large number of salt-making crafts, and he happened to see it. Beiliang didn't dare to take him seriously, so he returned to Dongtang with the salt-making crafts he "accidentally" saw , it became a matter of course.
Who dares to say that Mo Shaoheng is an enemy of Dongtang?Obviously the imperial court wanted to release Li Yuan back to Eastern Tang.
Even Mo Shaoheng's discovery of the new technique of salt is due to Beiliang.
That is to say, it did not harm the interests of Beiliang, nor was it suspected of being an enemy, but there was an extra Eastern Tang prince who accidentally learned about the new salt-making process.
And Zhao Di is a witness with sufficient weight in this incident.
Zhao Di is already arranging for people to seal off the scene.
Such a big matter naturally has to be verified first, and then reported to the higher authorities.
Of course, the people from Dongtang cannot be allowed to leave.
Li Yuan: "..."
It stands to reason that even if he leaves, Mo Shaoheng will give him the craftsmanship.
But as a person who "accidentally" discovered such a big secret, even if he was driven away, he would not leave. It was normal for him to stay and figure out the situation.
Mo Shaoheng was still there to remind, "Don't keep stuffing salt into your mouth, it's not filtered thoroughly, it's poisonous."
Li Yuan: "..."
You just discovered the salt making process, you know it is poisonous?Can you pretend to be a little bit like that.
Zhao Di was arranging for people to follow Mo Shaoheng's steps of cooking salt at the beginning, and Mo Shaoheng was still pointing out, "I seem to be like this at the beginning..."
Salt, this kind of thing is too important. If Mo Shaoheng had something to make salt and sell it by himself, he would probably be tired of his work. Taking Beiliang as an example, even selling salt privately is a felony, let alone selling salt on a large scale. salt.
He can only take it out in a suitable way and at the right time, one is to benefit the people, and by the way, he can also exchange some credit for him, the capital to gain a foothold.
On the second day, a fast horse galloped towards Liangjing.
The person on the horse is holding a blood-red eagle flag.
This is the [-]-mile urgent flag of the Northern Liangying Division. Even the Liangjing Guards can't stop it, and those who stop it will die!
The eagle division seems to have disappeared 20 years ago, but it didn't. The saint promised that the Zhenbei Palace retained the number of the eagle division. Naturally, the blood-red eagle flag is still valid.
Of course, such an eagle flag cannot be used in any situation.
The post stations on the official road are always ready with horses, so that they can change horses in case of emergency.
……
Beiliang, Liangjing, is as hot as ever.
At this time, a wisp of smoke and dust came from the official road in the distance.
The general guarding the gate frowned, and was about to speak when he heard the hurried sound from the galloping horse.
"Falconer Blood Flag, give way quickly."
what?
Before everyone could react, the general had stood up unbelievably. It's been too long. It's been a long time since I heard this voice.
Hands are shaking, but why?Eagle Master is no longer there, but why did Eagle Master's blood flag appear in front of the city gate again.
But it was too late to think about it, and shouted, "Let it go, let it go
