Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 100
...

After planning the salt drying field, Li Yan and Li Jun walked on the salt drying field, and Li Yan said to Li Jun, "This method of obtaining salt was taught to me by the Nine Heavens Fairy. It is called the method of sun drying. The process is generally divided into four major processes: tide collection, brine making, crystallization, and salt collection. The tide collection is to introduce seawater into the salt pan along the tidal ditch at high tide... The salt pan is divided into two parts—the evaporation pool and the crystallization pool, and the seawater is introduced into the evaporation pool. After evaporating water in the sun and turning it into a saturated brine to a certain extent, filter it. This is important because it is related to the quality of the salt. Remember to use the method I taught you. The filtered saturated brine is introduced into the crystallization pool. Continue to expose to the sun, and the salt will gradually precipitate out.”

Looking at the endless salt fields planned by Li Yan, Li Jun seemed to see mountains of gold piled up on them!

Li Jun said sincerely: "Brother is really the one chosen by heaven, to be able to obtain this method!"

Li Yan didn't answer the question, but said: "This method consumes very little cost and is extremely low cost. With it, we can easily monopolize the salt of Ludi. In addition, I plan to contact Fang La, Wang Qing, and Tian Hu to do this business together. From now on, the salt here will be one of the most important sources of income for me in Liangshanpo, and it will also affect my status in the green forest of Liangshanpo. Therefore, if I don’t give it to a fine person I can trust, I will never rest assured. I have thought about it one by one, you are the only one who suits me best, so I have never arranged for you to do other things with Tong Wei and Tong Meng brothers, and I just waited to bring you here."

Hearing Li Yanzhi's words, Li Jun, who has a very high EQ and IQ, immediately thought that Li Yan was asking him to take charge of the production and sales of Liangshan Salt, and let him be Li Yan's representative with Fang La, Wang Qing, and Tian Hu. contact.

This is no longer a high regard, but a flattery, a big flattery!

Li Jun bowed to the tunnel and said: "Li Jun will definitely take care of this matter for brother!"

Li Yan helped Li Jun up, and said: "I have already explained this method to you. After a while, you will follow me back to the boat. I will take the album to you. After we leave, you will build the rest of the saltworks according to the album. Okay, besides Tong Wei and Tong Meng brothers, I will also leave you Tao Zongwang and his engineering camp to help you build the salt field. Remember to keep it secret, so that no outsiders can use this method. I will leave Ma Lin brothers and Ma Lin Brothers leave the infantry to you, and follow your command."

Li Jun said: "Don't worry, brother, I know the severity."

Li Yan said again: "The search for the mythical island is very important for me in Liangshanbo. I can't delay here for too long. You can go to my place in a while. If you don't understand anything, you can ask. When you learn how to build it , I will leave after waiting.”

Li Jun said: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely learn how to build this salt factory as soon as possible."

Li Yan thought for a while, and added: "The Empress Jiutianxuan also taught me a set of methods for making top-quality salt. Unfortunately, I only remember most of them and forgot some key points. Later, I will teach most of the methods for making top-quality salt. As for you, you find some skilled and flexible salt workers to supplement the method of making the best salt, and this way, I, Liangshan Salt, will be even more arrogant."

The method of making the best salt mentioned by Li Yan is actually the method of making refined salt.

Li Yan knew the basic principle of the Jingfa production method, but Li Yan didn't know how to operate it. Li Yan could only tell Li Jun what he knew, and then let them explore slowly.

……

After staying in Chengkou Town for more than half a month, Li Yan led a group of heroes to the sea to find Jeju Island.

At the same time, in Dongxi Village.

After sending Lei Heng away, Wu Yong yanked the door of the study, locked it, and went to Chaojiazhuang with Chao Gai and Liu Tang.

Chao Gai invited Wu Yong and Liu Tang into the back hall.

Then everyone sat down as guests and hosts.

Wu Yong asked, "Baozheng, who is this person?"

Chao Gai said: "A hero in Jianghu, surnamed Liu, surnamed Tang, from Dongluzhou. He has a lot of wealth, so he came to join me..."

Afterwards, Huang Gai drunk Liu Tang in the Lingguan Temple at night, was captured by Lei Heng, and then brought to his estate. Because he recognized Liu Tang as his nephew, Liu Tangfang had to get away and told Wu Yong.

Afterwards, Chao Gai told Wu Yong the news about the birthday outline brought by Liu Tang.

Finally, Chao Gai mentioned that last night he dreamed that the Big Dipper fell on the ridge of his house, and there was another small star on the handle of the dipper that turned into a white light, and told Wu Yong.

After hearing this, Wu Yong said with a smile: "Xiaosheng saw that Brother Liu was in a hurry, so he made a good guess. This matter is good, but it's just one thing. It can't be done with too many people, and it can't be done with too few people. There are many people in the sky above the house. Zhuang Ke, but none of them can be used. Now there are only Baozheng, Brother Liu, and Xiaosheng. Even if Baozheng and Brother Liu are very good, they can't handle it. It takes seven or eight good men to do it, and it's useless if there are too many. "

Chao Gai said: "Could it be that you want to count the stars of your dream?"

Wu Yongdao: "Brother, this dream is no small matter. Could it be that there will be someone who will help you in the north?"

Chao Gai thought for a while, and asked, "Can academics have a good man?"

Wu Yong sighed, and said: "If this matter came a year earlier, I have three familiar heroes here. They are courageous and outstanding in martial arts. They dare to go through fire and water, and die together. If they join, this matter will surely come." Yes, it's a pity..."

Chao Gai asked: "Which three heroes are so pedantic that you admire so much, what's the pity?"

Wu Yong didn't hide anything, and said: "Three people I know well are Ruan Xiaoer, Tai Sui from Shijie Village, Ruan Xiaowu, the short-lived Erlang, and Ruan Xiaoqi, Huo Yanluo."

Chao Gai asked in surprise, "But the three captains of the water army in Liangshan?"

Wu Yongdao: "Then Ruan Xiaoqi is now the leader of Zhizunbao, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu each lead four to five hundred naval troops and hundreds of ships, the three brothers are so beautiful, I am afraid they will disdain such a small business. Do it again.”—Wu Yong unconsciously brought out a trace of sourness and resentment in these words!

Chao Gai said: "They have made a fortune now, so they can't do this anymore. Then...the pedant, do you have any other acquaintances who can entrust you with great things?"

Wu Yong pondered for a while, then frowned, and thoughtfully said, "Yes! I have two good friends who can do such a great thing!"

Chao Gai asked, "What kind of people are these two? Who are their names? Where do they live?"

Wu Yongdao: "One of them is surnamed Jin and his name is Dajian. This man is a master in the Central Plains. He is good at opening stone inscriptions, picking out books, jade stones, and seals; he can also fight with guns and sticks. Because he is good at carving jade stones, people Everyone calls him a jade armsmith. He is now living in Jeju City."

After a pause, Wu Yong said again: "The other one's surname is Xiao, and his name is Rang. Because he can write various scripts, people call him a master scholar; he can also wield a spear and stick, dance a sword and swing a knife. He is also in Jeju. Live in the city."

Chao Gai said: "Since we are friends who are scholars, why not ask someone to invite them to discuss?"

Wu Yong said with a smile: "If someone goes to invite them, how can they be willing to come? Xiaosheng must go there by himself, and tell them to join the gang with a sharp tongue."

Chao Gai said: "This place is the best... But, you, me, Liu Tang plus Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian are only five people, and there are still two people missing. Who should I go to for the Qixing Juyi? And the white light on the Big Dipper... ..."
