I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 175 It looks old at first glance!

The mule convoy set off from Jiangling City and walked non-stop for two and a half days before finally arriving at the saline-alkali land to the east of Nanping Town.

It is composed of continuous hills and wasteland.To say that it is a hill is a bit of a high hat, at most it is a series of large slopes more than ten meters high.

The north-south stretch is long and narrow for dozens of miles, with soil slopes in the middle and wasteland on both sides. The wild grass is very sparse.

In such a situation, either there is a problem with the soil, or there is a problem with the soil.Either high salt content, high alkali content, or other toxic substances.

Guo Yi stood on the shaft of the car, leaning on the shoulder of the pillar, stepping on his feet and looking forward.In addition to being desolate, it is still desolate, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

And just in front of the mound to the north, there were already a hundred and ten people densely packed.Not only a row of simple straw huts were built, but also pots and stoves were set up.

Seeing him looking forward, Jiang Yan opened his mouth to explain: "Because I wasn't sure whether there was any brine below, so I decided to dig a few wells with a new Luoyang shovel, so as not to get nothing after laboring and mobilizing many people!"

"Yeah!" Guo Yi nodded and said, "It should be! It's Uncle Jiang who has far-reaching thoughts!"

"Haha! Erlang won the prize! This is something that he has learned through hard work. It will prevent Erlang from rushing here, only to find that there is nothing underneath!

Not only is it hard work, but a certain face can't be held back.

Moreover, His Highness also transferred some old-fashioned methods of the salt field from the Liuzhihe Salt Field.

After the first pot of salt was boiled, His Highness, who had just reported it, asked Erlang to come over. "

Guo Yi couldn't help nodding his head when he heard the words. From this point of view, it is absolutely reasonable for this Jiang Yan to be able to walk in the Chu Palace.

I thought of all aspects of things in advance, and I thought very carefully, which saved a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Not only did they transfer a few old tricks from the Liuzhihe Saltworks, but they also dug wells and boiled out the first pot of salt.

At first glance, it is old Jianghu!

"Go! Go and have a look!" Guo Yi looked at the stretch of sand dunes, feeling a little abnormal.

Generally speaking, this kind of saline-alkali land was the ocean tens of thousands of years ago, and later, with some kind of terrain movement, the ocean was gradually driven to other places.

But here in the saline-alkali land, part of the seawater did not disappear completely, but gradually shrank.

Therefore, the salt in the seawater is also slowly concentrated, and seeps into the ground, soaks into the land, thus forming a saline-alkali land.

In this way, the almost hairless hills in front of him are very problematic.

Perhaps on the bottom of the sea tens of thousands of years ago, it was a piece of submarine hills.

As the mule convoy moved forward slowly, someone on the edge of the hill saw them. A young man about seventeen or eighteen waved his hands excitedly, and Sa Yazi ran over.

"Haha!" Jiang Yan smiled broadly, pointed at the young man and said, "That's my eldest son, Jiang Xu. He didn't like reading since he was a child, so he has been running around with me all the time. He has a wild temper. If there are words If it is inappropriate, I ask Erlang to forgive me a lot!"

Because he knew about Guo Yi and understood his ability and status, he couldn't help lowering his posture.

"Hey!" Guo Yi interrupted with a smile and waved his hand: "Everything that Uncle Jiang said is from his own family, so there is no forgiveness!"

He has a very easy-going temperament, a very open mind, and a somewhat gentle temper. He seldom makes red eyes on others, and even less is angry with others.

"Father!" The boy named Jiang Xu is not tall and thin, but he is very agile.While running, he shouted loudly.When I was young, I came to the front.He ran all the way, but he was not out of breath.

"You brat, it's just past noon, and it's hot! Look at you running profusely, so you'll get hot again!" Jiang Yan laughed and cursed, and lifted his sleeves to wipe his sweat .

Then, pulling his arm, he came to Guo Yi's side: "Come, come, let me introduce you. This handsome young man is Guo Yi, Guo Erlang! Aren't you always arguing to see him?"

Jiang Xu has a baby face, which is a bit cute, but he is tanned, which doesn't match that baby face.Hearing this, he looked at Guo Yi curiously, and sized him up from head to toe.

Then, he frowned and asked, "Are you Guo Yi? The one who built the Liuzhihe Salt Field?"

He couldn't believe it, because the kid in front of him was too young, probably on his side's side.

At such a young age, he actually built that huge Liuzhihe Salt Field?

This is a bit too far-fetched, right?

Guo Yi pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders, and denied it with a smile: "If you are talking about the old saltworks in Liuzhihe, I led people to build it. The new saltworks are not!"

Jiang Xu couldn't help raising his brows, and looked at him blankly: "I just came back from there, and I've seen that construction blueprint. Uncle Sun stretched it on the wall, and everyone praised it!"

Well!The blueprints for the construction of the new saltworks...

He suddenly remembered, nodded and said: "I drew it. However, the blueprint belongs to the blueprint, and the construction is the construction. Drawing is simple, just move the pen, but it is extremely difficult to construct!"

Right!

Seeing that he had no intention of being arrogant about his talents, Jiang Xu couldn't help but feel good about him.

"Okay, okay! Let's stop basking here, let's go over and talk!" Jiang Yan waved his hand to interrupt them, and pulled his eldest son into the carriage, and said to Guo Yi: "Go, Erlang, go to drink first. A cup of tea to relieve fatigue!"

They have already cleared an open space on the edge of the hill, built a row of thatched huts in the north, and set up a pot stove in the south.

And just to the west, away from the dunes, two brick kilns are being built.The bricks and stones were pulled from Nanping Town from afar.

Even these hundred and ten workers were recruited from distant villages and paid fifty Wen a day.

"Ah! Erlang is here! It's been a long time!" As soon as he came over, someone greeted him enthusiastically.

Guo Yi followed the voice and took a closer look. It was Chen Guangde's cousin, Chen Guangde, the village chief of Liuhe Village.

Back then, when the Liuzhihe Salt Field was being built, the loudest brawny man was not only a well-known mason in Shiliba Village, but also quite famous in the village.

Later, Sun Yanming was busy building a new saltworks, so he made him the steward of the old saltworks.Although his temper is a little grumpy, he is very honest.

Otherwise, Sun Yanming wouldn't be in his eyes.

At this moment, seeing his warm greeting, Guo Yi took a few steps closer and responded with a smile: "Uncle Guangming, why did you get transferred here?"

"Hahaha...!" Chen Guangming couldn't help laughing and touching his bald head when he saw how affectionate he was shouting, and said with a little pride: "I'm the manager of the old saltworks! It's because they don't let others come!
Mr. Sun is by name, and he sent me here!It means I'm at home! "

Ok!

You bald, you win.Not at all humble... Really honest!

Guo Yi shook his head helplessly, then ignored him, turned around and walked towards the hills.
