The village is peaceful. In fact, except for a few parts of the entire Tang Dynasty that are already in turmoil, many places are very peaceful. The situation is gradually stabilizing. Wherever the Tang cavalry passes, all rebellions are in vain.

Liu Fan is feeding the pigs. The piglets are growing faster and faster, and they are getting fatter and fatter. Recently, he bought two more pigs. These two pigs live very well in the pen. Everyone is a pig, and they are mixed together.

There is nothing to bully in the pen, everyone is free and easy, so if you pee in front of me, I will also poop in front of you, and then there will be a bigger pig pooping and peeing in a special place for feces to remind you.

These little piggies need to take good care of their hygiene.

Throwing the wild vegetables in, you can see the piglets chewing them.

"It would be great if I could be a pig. Eat and sleep when I'm full, and eating when I'm full of sleep is not bad either!"

"Why do you have such thoughts at such a young age?"

There was a voice beside him, which made Liu Fan tremble in fright. He looked at the person with some anger and said, "Who are you? What does it have to do with you if I feed pigs?"

The man was not annoyed and said with a smile: "It's just that seeing me, a talented young man from the Tang Dynasty, so passive makes me feel a little unhappy!"

"Everyone has his own life. You have yours, and I have mine. What I hate in my life is others imposing their ideas on others. This kind of behavior is very selfish!" Liu Fan said with a frown.

The visitor smiled and pointed to Liu Fan's newly built pavilion not far away, "Let's talk?"

"No time!" Liu Fan rolled his eyes, no matter who the visitor was, he felt angry at being disturbed while he was in a daze.

"I'm asking you about salt!" the visitor said calmly.

Only then did Liu Fan look at him again, and saw that he was wearing ordinary clothes, but the materials were exquisite, his appearance was decent, and his face was not angry or intimidating. He clasped his fists and said: "You have found the wrong person about the salt. I don't know anything about it."

Know!"

"..." Changsun Wuji looked at Liu Fan in astonishment, and then burst into laughter.

"I am Changsun Wuji, the Minister of Civil Affairs of the current dynasty!" Changsun Wuji raised his head slightly and said.

Liu Fan wrote a long poem and said: "See Changsun Shangshu!"

Changsun Wuji did not see the usual fear, and was a little disappointed. He waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty ordered me to supervise the salt production. Now there are some episodes. I hope Xiao Langjun can help me clear up my doubts!"

"Before I answer you, please prove your identity!" Liu Fan said cautiously. Nowadays, this salt is a national matter. If the manufacturing method is leaked from him, he may not be held accountable, but he can die. But

You can’t die out of mind, there’s nothing wrong with being cautious!

"Haha! The young man has been thinking a lot. Who dares to use the name of my grandson Wuji? This is my token!" After saying that, he threw over a black iron token with the words

With the word "eldest grandson" and such an iron lump, it is not too heavy. It weighs at least two kilograms.

"Little Langjun, do you have anything else to prove?" Changsun Wuji said with a half-smile.

Liu Fan immediately put on a smile. This middle-aged man was probably still alive even after his death, and he was ranked first among ministers. He could not be offended easily. He immediately saluted again and said: "I would also like to ask the eldest grandson, Lord Shangshu, to have a large number of ordinary people."

Have to guard against it!"

"It's great to have such a heart! Can you sit down for a while now? And it would be better to call me uncle!" Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

Liu Fan quickly ran over, wiped the chair with his clothes and said with a smile: "Please sit down, I will make you a pot of tea!"

"No need, I just wanted to ask you how to increase the production of salt. There is really too little now!" Changsun Wuji sighed, sat on the chair, picked up the tea cup and looked at it carefully.

Liu Fan sat down, frowned and said: "The method I gave to the court was the fastest method. I really can't think of anything that needs improvement. If we say improvement, we can only increase manpower and material resources!"

Changsun Wuji never thought of this method, but he always had expectations in his heart and hoped that there would be a better way to solve it. Hearing what Liu Fan said, he felt a little disappointed, but his mentality adjusted in an instant. Such a young man could come up with this thing.

It’s not easy, so what’s there to look forward to!

"In this case, there is really no other way!"

"May I ask, sir, how much salt is produced every day?"

"Less than a hundred stones?"

"Huh? How many people are doing it?" Liu Fan said with some surprise. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be done. No matter how small it is, it won't be this small.

"Nearly a thousand people!"

"Huh?" Liu Fan was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out of his head. Nearly a thousand people produced so little in one day. There must be some problem in some link.

Immediately he said: "Can you take me to see it?"

Changsun Wuji frowned. This kind of privacy is not easy for outsiders to see, but thinking that Liu Fan was the creator, he nodded and said: "Come with me!"

The two of them arrived at the salt field in a carriage. Liu Fan was shocked to see the scene in front of him, "This is your salt training field?"

Changsun Wuji said with some pride: "Yes, this is the achievement of this half month, what do you think?"

I saw a huge fence with layers of soldiers arranged like a military camp, and hundreds of thatched huts built inside. This is not the point. The point is that these thousands of people are divided into hundreds of small groups, each group has five or six people.

Looking at a simple filtering device, this filtering device is exactly the same as the filtering device built by Liu Fan, both in size and settings.

"Oh! I'm done with it!" Liu Fan let out a long sigh.

Changsun Wuji asked in confusion: "What kind of clothes?"

"It's okay, I'm just sighing, I already know the problem!"

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!" Changsun Wuji looked serious.

Liu Fandao: "The first and biggest mistake is, why do you make your filter device so small? You can obviously build a larger one, so why do you insist on being exactly the same as mine? I am just a model for your reference.

Used!"

Changsun Wuji blushed. No one had thought of such a simple problem. In fact, it was not that no one had thought of it, but the matter was extremely important. If something went wrong, no one would dare to take responsibility for it. This led to today's embarrassing situation.

Liu Fan continued: "Second, why do we need four or five people to circle around one thing? This consumes a lot of manpower. You can just send the salt by one person, filter by one, dry by one, and ship by one, and do the things separately.

Well, it makes people comfortable this way, makes things simple, and is not easy to make mistakes. Otherwise, if these five people each have their own standards, how will the salt be produced!"

"I've heard of this method before!" Changsun Wuji frowned and thought in thought.

Liu Fan smiled and said: "This method has been around since ancient times. The Qin Dynasty had an assembly line back then, but now it is less well-known by the world!"

Changsun Wuji suddenly realized that a top-notch person like him had read countless books. He had indeed seen this method before, but he had not thought about it as a key point.

Liu Fan saluted and said: "If these two points are changed, I believe that the production of salt will reach a higher level!"

Seeing that the matter was solved, Changsun Wuji burst out laughing and said: "Sure enough, the person who tied the bell needs to be tied to untie the bell. You solved my doubts today, which can be regarded as clearing up my heart. It's very good. I live in Chang'an, so I can come here more often when I have time."

Move around!”

Liu Fan said with a smile: "That's natural. It's an honor for the younger generation to be able to solve the problems for our eldest grandson!"

Changsun Wuji laughed and insisted on taking Liu Fan to eat. The two of them had a light meal and then left.

Liu Fan looked at Changsun Wuji's back and secretly thought that he was indeed an old fox. There was no substantial reward for helping him, but he owed himself a favor. He hoped that he could help him when he had difficulties in the future.
