Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 90 Introducing the Daughter-in-law
Next, the two had to worry about increasing the production of salt, and many ways they thought of were rejected.Xiao Shunzi said: "Boss, recently some salt farms are learning our method of drying salt, which is to pour the boiled brine that is about to crystallize into the crystallization pool, and let the brine crystallize naturally. It is said that it has already had an effect. What is it actually? We don't know the situation yet..."

Liu Tao said "Hi": "This is a good method, and it can be used as a reference. They let the high-concentration brine crystallize directly. Can we use the boiled salt to restore it?"

He and Liu Tao did some calculations, and now the boiled salt costs one tael or four taels of silver and ten catties, and the price of his own salt sold to sea merchants in Liangshan Port is two taels and ten catties of silver, which is almost doubled. .Is it possible to buy boiled salt, reduce it to high-concentration brine, put it into the crystallization tank and recrystallize it, so that the finished product is crystallized salt.

But they don't know how many impurities are in the boiled salt. It is estimated that Jin Yang is less than one-tenth, and even if it is equal to one-tenth, it can still make a lot of money.Then build a salt field in the upper reaches of the small river. In order to strengthen the wording of secrecy, let Xiao Shunzi choose a group of honest people to do this kind of work, and then build a tall wall around the salt field.

Now that it was agreed upon, it was discussed in the small circle of Xiao Shunzi and Mr. Malan's accountant. Everyone thought it was worth a try. Isn't it just to build more crystallization pools and buy some big pots? They estimated You can definitely make a lot of money at once.

This time, Jin Yang designed it himself, designed the crystallization pool at a slightly lower position, and designed the ceramic pipe leading directly to the pressurized well. After all, the crystallization pool also needs part of the seawater.He also designed a shed for boiling salt, so that the high-concentration salt bittern would not need to be dumped in the crystallization tank, but a dark water channel could be designed to lead directly to the crystallization tank, and then it would be drawn out from the cauldron by using ceramic pipes and siphon principle. Directly to the crystallization pool.

Since the wharf can berth sea ships, on the same principle, sea ships can also berth at the seaside near the salt fields where salt is boiled, buy boiled salt directly in the salt fields, and then use small boats to barge to sea ships, and then directly dock at salt fields when they are full pier.

Jin Yang thought of it again. You can buy salt in many seaside salt farms in Xiaoyan Country. Due to the distance, the price is much lower than the price of salt in the capital of Daqian Country. You can buy it from the seaside for long distance purchases. , Purchased from Qinglang Country and Xiaoyan Country, they were directly unloaded at Yantian Wharf. It is estimated that the tax department has no reason to control them.After discussing the matter, we can start working hard only after the pier is completed.

When they arrived at the warehouse in Liangshan Port, Lu Run told Jin Yang: "Cousin, your quicksand painting with dynamic scenery has been handed over to Captain Jinxing to take it away. To tell you the truth, I will play with it on the day the messenger brings it back. It's been half a day and midnight, what a sweet baby!"

"Haha, what did Captain Venus say?"

"He said, 'it depends on who sells it to. If it is sold to foreign royals and princes and ministers, a few hundred taels of silver is a trivial matter'"

"When will he come back?"

"He sent a message with a carrier pigeon this morning, saying that if the weather doesn't change, he will arrive in the afternoon."

"Did you entrust him to bring back those little pieces of glass?"

"No, it's another captain named Kobe. He is also a trustworthy person. The glass arrived the day before yesterday. The total price is 100 yuan, which is eight taels of silver."

"Hey, cousin, Captain Venus didn't like our new ship when he saw it. He said that the Raksha Kingdom now uses two-masted or three-masted sailing ships, and that kind of sailing ships rarely use oars when sailing. Yes, unless it is facing the wind. That kind of sailboat is from the Black Water Country, and he is planning to replace the cargo ship with a sailboat. He said that the new sailboat will not need to care about the monsoon, and also said that our new sailboat The ship is too bulky, and it will only be suitable for offshore transportation in the future..."

"Oh, is that right, I won't leave today, I'll wait for him here."

"Cousin, do you still have a treasure like yours? It can be placed in the display cabinet in the warehouse. Besides, Captain Venus will also need it."

"There are only two left at home, this time I brought them all..."

Since there were more than 20 well-trained carrier pigeons, Lu Run listened to Jin Yan's words and took one or two carrier pigeons with the ship for the captain who had business with his family. Fortunately, no ships encountered pirates during this time.But the carrier pigeons gave Lu Run a new job, and each ship took away not one. The job of the extra carrier pigeons was that when they came back to Liangshan Port, they could write a letter in advance to release the carrier pigeons and bring them back. After Lu Run got their news, the warehouse can prepare berths for them in advance, and Lu Run can also prepare a reception banquet for them in advance in his own warehouse, and even what he wants to eat, and what kind of cargo he can prepare when he returns. Informed in advance.

This move has brought great convenience to maritime merchants. Even when they enter the port in the middle of the night, there are people waiting at the berth with lanterns to welcome them. Delicious hot meals can be eaten when they land on the shore, and the goods that require preparation are also good. The cheap ones were done in advance, which saved them a lot of time in assembling the goods.Even in some overseas ports, if they see what goods sell quickly and make a lot of money, they will immediately let the carrier pigeon bring a letter to inform Lu Run.Their captains can get on with each other, and they pass it on to each other. Many captains who don't have a fixed business in Liangshan Port have come to contact them for business.

As a result, the number of cargo ships contacted in the past two months has continued to increase, and the business volume has also increased significantly in a short period of time.They didn't expect Lu Run to have such a clever method. The increase in the business volume of the warehouse meant that their family's money was also increasing. I am ashamed to boast.

Now, due to the increase in business volume, Lu Run is gradually tired of coping, so he promotes Fang Hongjian, who has followed him for the longest time, as his deputy. Jin Yang sees that his management staff is still not enough, so he recommends Su green.

Su Qing is now only resident in Jinfu. Although no one assigns him work, he can't stay idle. He either cleans the yard or goes to the vineyard to work with the hired workers.He is literate and has worked in the management of Xiaoyan Country Salt Farm for more than ten years. If he came to assist Lu Run in managing the warehouse, he would be a good candidate.

Jin Hao planned to let Su Xiaoge and Huang Ying go back to Qinglang Country to visit relatives, and let his father-in-law lead Tian Zhuang and Liu Maoxiaosi to temporarily manage the stores in the city.There is no way, what is lacking now is manpower.

The warehouse has a lot of business. Lu Run runs back and forth between the warehouse docks every day, and sometimes he has to go to other warehouses to assemble goods. He doesn't know how to ride a horse, so he sits in a carriage at a distance, and relies on two legs nearby. .Jin Yan told him to let Captain Venus smuggle a one-horse driver as soon as possible, and allow him to come in a four-person foreign carriage for his use.You can drive anywhere by yourself, and you can also load a small amount of goods. When Lu Run heard that, he was very happy from ear to ear.

Later, during dinner, Lu Run said that his younger brother came to his hometown a few days ago, and his parents wanted him to go back. The family saw that he was eighteen or nineteen years old, and they were anxious about his marriage, and wanted him to go back to arrange marriage.He called his younger brother Lu Wo, who is only 16 years old, has a baby face, and is a little shy when meeting people.

Lu Run told Jin Yan: "My younger brother Lu Wo is the youngest in the family. He was good at martial arts since he was a child, but he didn't have a good master to teach him, he was good at medicine, and he didn't have a good doctor as his teacher. I want to be an apprentice in our warehouse..."

Liu Tao said: "Being an apprentice is not very interesting. Why don't you learn some foreign languages ​​or let Fan Tong take you with you, so that you can learn some martial arts with those newly recruited crew members."

Liu Tao finished talking about Lu Wo, and then asked: "Cousin, do you have a girl in your hometown who you like?"

He said a little shyly: "Cousin, to tell you the truth, there used to be a girl who treated me very well at home, but his parents liked the poor and loved the rich, so they married her to my neighbor last year. The little landlord of the family, hey, she is already a wife."

"There are plenty of good girls in the world. Cousin, why did you hang yourself on a tree with a crooked neck? Don't say you are now the big shopkeeper of Liangshan Port Wharf in Jinfu? Do you have many young girls when you leave our wharf? Want to get close to you?"

Lu Run asked in surprise, "Little cousin, do you even know these things?"

Liu Tao gave a disdainful "hehe" twice, is this matter obvious?Young, rich and handsome, he is still in charge of the Jinfu Wharf in Liangshan Port. If the owner, Jin Yan, does not come, he will have the final say on everything at the wharf.Don't say that he is a caring person who is following others' power. It's strange that the big girl and daughter-in-law who don't want his money but only want him like him don't like him?
Thinking of this, Liu Tao didn't want other women to win over Lu Run, which would be detrimental to her family's long-term development plan, so she said, "Cousin, there are four girls who are about the same age as you in my house. No, including Malhua, the number is five, and adding Wu'er is six, but Wu'er is a little younger, if you have time, you can come to my house, if you can talk to that, Just tell me, or directly woo each other..."

"Cousin, do you think Tao'er is joking with you? You don't know how beautiful they are. I dare say that you have never seen so many top-notch beauties in your life. They are all top-notch... …”

Jin Hao was not joking with Lu Run, what he said was true, Lu Run saw the sincerity of what he said, so he agreed, and only waited for Su Qing to get acquainted with him for a while before going on a blind date in the Jin Mansion.

In the afternoon, due to the strong east wind, Captain Jin Xing’s boat docked in the evening. His boat was no longer the boat that Jin Yang saw for the first time. It was a three-masted galleon with side sails. The wing sails, the front deck and the stern are built very high, and the load must be two to three hundred tons.

Jin Yang doesn't know much about sailing boats, only that sailing boats rely on wind power to sail in the sea. If there is no headwind, they don't need oars. Not to mention their fast speed, they also have a surprisingly large load capacity.

The captain and the crew went ashore and happily hugged Jin Yang. Hearing that Liu Tao is Jin Yang's girlfriend, they wanted to hug Liu Tao, so scared that Liu Tao quickly hid away.The captain smiled "haha", he was just scaring Liu Tao.
