Chapter 369 Are you going to rebel?
"How about it, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Yu Zhi looked at Wen Jiuxiao with a very shy expression, almost wagging her tail. She was so cute that Wen Jiuxiao wanted to kiss her.
"This, is this salt?" Zhuo Zhengyang looked at the pool in disbelief. Although the seawater had not completely evaporated, a lot of white salt frost had precipitated on the edge of the pool. He dipped his finger in a little and put it in his mouth to taste, "It's salty.
!Really...really salt?! Sir!"
He stood up all of a sudden, "This is a great achievement!" He looked at Wen Jiuxiao, excited and admiring him. You are indeed an adult, you can make achievements even in a poor place like Shanyun County.
Look, less than a month after taking office, your Excellency has come up with seawater sun salt. You don’t need to use firewood to cook it, you can directly dry it in the sun. How much will you save?
If more salt fields were opened on the beach, how much salt would be collected? Zhuo Zhengyang could even think of the salt mountains. Are those salt mountains? Those are mountains of gold and silver!
Sure enough, following the adults was the most correct choice for him.
"Of course this is salt. Zhengyang, I am going to take back all the salt in Shanyun County. From now on, the salt county government will sell it by itself, lowering the price of salt so that the people of Shanyun County can eat salt." As for Shan Yun County.
For places outside Yun County, the price will naturally be whatever the price is, and the county government must also have income, right?
"Sir, you are so righteous! The people of Shanyun County are blessed to have parents like you." Zhuo Zhengyang's heart was churning, and he was so sincerely convinced of Wen Jiuxiao!
When he and Qingfeng went to see the sea water and discuss how to dig the salt fields, Yu Zhi tugged on Wen Jiuxiao's sleeve and said, "This matter needs to be reported to the court, right?"
Wen Jiuxiao nodded, "Indeed. But don't worry, let's do it in a year and a half." By that time, he had already accumulated a lot of salt.
"You are so brave!" Yu Zhi's eyes widened, "Are you going to rebel?" This is salt, Tunyan, and private salt dealers in this dynasty will be beheaded.
Even though Wen Jiuxiao was an official, he discovered the method of drying salt and not only did not report it to the court, he also sold it privately for profit. If the emperor found out, he would not be able to kill him even if he died.
"Are you afraid?" Wen Jiuxiao had no expression on his face and looked at Yu Zhi with his dark eyes.
Yu Zhi blinked, "Are you really going to seek death?" She had known for a long time that this man had rules in every move he made, but in fact he was the most unscrupulous and unruly in his heart. He had no rules and no fear in his heart.
"I'm just kidding you, do you really believe it?" Wen Jiuxiao chuckled and touched her bright eyes, "Don't worry, your man has a wife and children, is living a good life, and is reluctant to die."
If it were before... what's the point of living like a pool of stagnant water? Whether it's life or death, is there any difference? It's interesting to play something exciting and different in life!
Death? Doesn’t everyone have to die? It doesn’t make much difference whether it’s earlier or later.
But after having Yu Xiaozhi, he no longer thought like this. The world still disappointed him, but for Yu Xiaozhi, he could still endure it.
"From accidentally discovering the method of drying seawater salt, to successfully producing refined salt through repeated experiments, and then reporting it to the court, it took a year and a half, right? Shanyun County is high in the mountains and the emperor is far away, so it is not a problem to hide it for a year and a half.
."
Yu Zhi gave him a big roll of his eyes. In the first half, this guy was quite decent. But in the back, he said, "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away." Huh, it shows that he doesn't have much respect for His Majesty the Emperor.
Well, actually she doesn't have much awe either.
Yu Zhi opened his hand and said, "You just have to know it yourself. Anyway, if something happens, I will take my father and Zhouzhou overseas." Even if she doesn't go to sea, I believe no one can find her.
Wen Jiuxiao came up and said, "Goodbye, I'll bring you one more husband. I'll leave all the hard work to my husband."
Yu Zhi squinted at him and said, "No, I have a big boy and I don't need you."
"How can a son be useful to a husband? Is that right, Yu Xiaozhi?" Wen Jiuxiao said the humblest words in a serious tone, "Madam, please take me with you as well."
Glancing at the other people not far away, Yu Zhi took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "You should have some face!"
"Yu Xiaozhi, you are going to abandon your husband and run away. Why do you want to show your face to your husband?" Wen Jiuxiao said plausibly, but his life was gone, so he still wanted to show his face?
Yu Zhi was speechless by him. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "If, I was just making an analogy, wouldn't it have happened yet?"
"I don't believe it when I use an analogy. Yu Xiaozhi, you shouldn't have such thoughts at all! Isn't your husband good enough? Not hard-working enough? Last night you said you would..."
"Shut up!" Yu Zhi covered his mouth and was furious. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. His eyes were filled with fire, "What nonsense are you talking about? What are you doing? Can you still live a good life?"
You say it! You say it!”
Wen Jiuxiao whined twice, his eyes aggrieved that he couldn't say anything.
"I'll take your hand away and you can't talk nonsense. If you... believe me or not, I'll beat you up!" Yu Zhi stared at him closely, not daring to let go.
Wen Jiuxiao nodded quickly, and Yu Zhi let go of his hand. As soon as Wen Jiuxiao got free, he said: "As long as you don't want to leave me and run away alone, you can say anything." He was uncompromising in this regard.
Yu Zhi gritted his teeth, "Okay, I got it, I won't leave you." That's weird! She rolled her eyes at him and said, "The wind is strong and it makes me have a headache. I'm getting on the carriage. You, go to work!"
Really, how did this man become so shameless and shameless? Where is the cold, arrogant and proud young master from before?
Wen Jiuxiao looked at Yu Zhi's angrily back, with a warm color in his eyes. But when he turned around, the expression on his face was completely gone.
How important is salt drying? Wen Jiuxiao selected all trustworthy people. The manpower is still sufficient now. When there are more salt fields in the future, the manpower may not be enough. But it doesn't matter. By then, the salt drying method will have been reported to the court.
, you can recruit people from the local area.
Infrastructure construction in the county has been carried out in an orderly manner. More than a hundred people were used to build the house alone, including those who transported stones and wood, those who built courtyard walls, those who built houses, and those who bought vegetables and cooked... building houses
They also divide the area into areas. Instead of building one area and then building the second area, they do it at the same time. Anyway, there are many people. How fast can the progress be?
The rest of the people have gone to build the city wall. The city wall in Shanyun County... is a shame. It is useless. It can't even stop a dog. How can you expect it to stop people?
As for road construction, haha, isn't that the Zhang family? I got the idea from the county magistrate, and his family also started construction on the sixth day of the sixth grade. There were not enough servants, so they also borrowed people from the Yamen, but these people borrowed from the Zhang family
, the wages will naturally be paid by the Zhang family.
Stones are needed to build houses, stones are also needed to build city walls, and stones are also needed to build roads. Although small stones and gravel will suffice, they are still stones!
