Chapter 71

Lin Wanwan pretended not to care about the tunnel and said, "People living by the sea, guarding such a large sea, isn't it normal to get some sea salt? Why should my cousin be surprised?"

Xiao Chong stood up and was silent for a while before he said, "Listen to what my cousin said, you extracted these sea salts? Why are you exposed to the sun here?"

Lin Wanwan said, "Yes, I did it. This is the method of making salt by drying it on a plate, which is much easier than burning the sea to boil the salt. Besides the method of making salt by drying it on the beach, there is also a more convenient method of making salt by drying it on the beach."

Xiao Chong stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Cousin, do you know that my dynasty has inherited the salt system of the former Sui Dynasty and implemented a tax-free system? You can extract such refined salt from seawater, and the benefits are huge. Could it be that this method is also a good idea? Master taught?"

"Yes, we live in seclusion in the mountains, so naturally we have to be self-sufficient in everything. My master has known everything for 500 years and 500 years. He knows everything about astronomy and geography. It's just a method of drying salt, which is nothing."

When Lin Wanwan wanted to present a treasure, she naturally wanted to make her bullshit bigger and make the so-called "first teacher" an omniscient sage, which would be beneficial to her future development.

Not only to touch the salt, she also checked the information about the salt politics in the early Tang Dynasty.

In the early Tang Dynasty, in order to recuperate and restore people's livelihood, not only the land-equalization system, but also the salt law was very loose.No special tax is levied. There is no official monopoly. It was not until the Anshi Rebellion that the Tang Dynasty began to impose salt tax, and gradually formed a national salt monopoly system.

Now if you have enough strength to intervene in selling salt, you can definitely make a lot of money.

Lin Wanwan wasn't sure what the situation of the Yanxian Gang was, but what she could be sure of was that there must be a big family behind the Yanxian Gang.And the Xiao family is in the south of the Yangtze River. Although they are not natives, they have established a firm foothold and are one of the most famous families.

Xiao Chong smiled, walked out of the glass conservatory, and said slowly, "Which mountain did my cousin live in? It's a pity that a person like Ling Shizun didn't even have a name. Let Master build a shrine for him in the place where he once lived in seclusion."

Lin Wanwan became vigilant, and the actress showed a sad look on her upper body, and said sadly: "The nameless mountain, a heavy rain, a landslide, buried everything. The so-called 'long in the cage, back to nature' , my teacher is tired of the harassment of the mundane world, so I went to the mountains to escape from the world, why should I disturb the quietness behind his old man?

Xiao Chong said modestly, "Sorry."

Lin Wanwan smiled weakly, but secretly said in her heart: "This rhythm is wrong, with such a big golden mountain in front of you, why didn't you come and ask me how to move it away? Instead, I changed the subject and what did I say to build a shrine? Forget it, no matter what he did. In response, I still go at my own pace.”

"Cousin, after my observation in the past few months, the price of salt in Fangshi, Yanxian County is not cheap. If we live by the sea, it makes no sense that ordinary people can't afford salt. Look, I purify salt from seawater. How about dedicating it to the government?" Lin Wanwan tried her best to make herself look holy.

Xiao Chong stopped, turned his head to look at her, and said indifferently: "If my cousin is willing to give up this benefit and do this kind deed, she will definitely be rewarded by the court. It's just that my cousin needs to know that the salt drying method you mentioned contains too many benefits. , perhaps, far from being comparable to the court's reward, don't you regret it?"

The Xiao family is definitely a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, but even Xiao Chong, who is a direct descendant of the Xiao family, has never seen the kind of white fine salt in Lin Wanwan's glass greenhouse.There is a lot of green salt, and it is very expensive, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

Lin Wanwan had already considered the pros and cons of this for a long time, but she didn't care at the moment: "Cousin, I don't really care if I don't dedicate it to the court. This recipe is my return gift to my cousin for giving the violin, and Cai Yong made it personally. Jiao Weiqin is a priceless treasure. Besides, this recipe, for me, is both a good thing and a bad thing, so I should leave it to my cousin to be safe.”

A strange look flashed in Xiao Chong's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Cousin is a person who understands the piano, but this time, I can't bear the gift. Since my cousin is so open-minded, then I will thank you for the people of this world."

The two smiled at each other.

Lin Wanwan quickly returned to her study, took out the scroll that recorded the sea salt drying method and handed it to Xiao Chong: "Cousin, my method of drying sea salt is mainly the salt field method. It needs to be done at the seaside where the temperature is high and the light is sufficient and the terrain is flat. Tidal flats build salt pans.

The first few steps are not much different from the existing method of boiling salt in Datang.First, make brine, extract low-level seawater into fresh brine, and then pour the fresh brine into the salt plate, and rely on the sun to make salt, which saves a lot of manpower, material and financial resources than boiling salt.

The specific recipes are clearly recorded in this scroll. Cousin, you can try it yourself. "

Xiao Chong took the scroll and swept it quickly, sighing: "It turns out that it can still be like this. Master is really a talented person. It's a great regret in life that we can't meet each other."

Lin Wanwan smiled and said nothing.

After Xiao Chong returned to the county government office, he immediately began to prepare for the preparation of sea salt according to the recipe. If this method of drying on the beach is feasible, plus the high-yield auspiciousness previously reported - hybrid rice seeds and sweet potatoes, Lin Wanwan's reward should not be light.

Of course, it is also possible that she will be targeted by high gates, but since ancient times, the risk is worth taking.

This time, Xiao Chong intends to send the message through the internal channels of the family. First, it can speed up the process, secondly, it can prevent someone from picking peaches among them, and thirdly, it can be regarded as a little protection for Lin Wanwan.

This means that there are people in the DPRK who are good officials.

If an ordinary county magistrate wanted to give the emperor a performance, it would be impossible, and only the third-rank and above civil officials could give the emperor a performance.

Ordinary county magistrates can only send their messages up through the state officials, and "peaches" naturally also need to profit from each level. It is conceivable how much is left on the heads of the common people - it may even be killed directly. The man who grows peaches.

And Xiao Chong is the direct descendant of the Xiao family Qi Liangfang, and it is not a big problem to occasionally break the rules of officialdom.Although it certainly had an impact on him, the boss couldn't do anything to him either.

Thinking of Lin Wanwan's sunny smiling face, Xiao Chong couldn't help but want to protect her more.

The previously high-yielding grains, Xiao Chong had already handed over through the state officials, was considered a gesture of kindness to his superiors and expressed his goodwill.Now, for salt recipes, he chooses to go through the family channel, and others can't say much even if they are thinking.

His ancestors have a deep heritage and many disciples, and now he is still highly valued by Li Shimin, and he is not afraid of others.Moreover, the Xiao family is not only the Xiao family. They are all related by marriage to the Dugu family, Tang Li, and Jiangnan Gu family. Their interests are related, and they are a co-prosperity circle.
