Qiankun Chamber of Commerce, Tang Qingshan and Tang Yanran pay attention to every move of Fang Chen and others every day.
Several days have passed and I don't know what the other party is doing.
Lu Yang went to other cities for several days. Fang Chen stayed in the general's mansion and seemed to be inactive. Ye Fan was discussing something with the local government.
In short, the people of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce don't know Fang Chen's plan. No matter how closely they keep an eye on Fang Chen, it's useless.
Because there are too many merchant ships sailing on the sea every day, the port is fully managed by Lu Yang's men, and the people of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce have no right to interfere.
On this day, Tang Yanran was waiting for news at the Chamber of Commerce, and suddenly a homing pigeon flew to the window.
Tang Yanran walked over and found the note from under the carrier pigeon's wings. After taking the note off, she opened it and saw a very strange look on her face!
Fang Chen is planning to use seawater to make salt!
Tang Yanran immediately called her father, and the two began to discuss.
After Tang Qingshan heard the news, he felt incredible and had a look of ridicule.
"Can salt be made from seawater? How is this possible? Since ancient times, how many talented people and strangers have wanted to use seawater to make salt. Unfortunately, there is no way to completely filter the salt made from seawater. If you eat too much, you will die."
Tang Yanran also felt that Fang Chen was seeking death by doing this.
However, based on the information obtained by the carrier pigeon, Fang Chen's people set out to a nearby island to prepare salt there.
After spending so much manpower and material resources, things are certainly not that simple!
"Father, is it possible that Fang Chen really has a way to make salt from sea water?"
"Otherwise, how could he bring so many people to the island to make salt with such fanfare?"
Zhou Qingshan thought for a while and said: "If you go to the island, you may not necessarily use seawater to make salt. You must have found salt wells or mines there."
"But if you do this, water far away cannot save the fire nearby. Using sea water to make salt is simply a delusion!"
The Daqian Dynasty’s research on salt production was the most advanced in the world!
Salt was one of the main economies of the Daqian Dynasty. They had a large number of people dedicated to making salt all year round and improving the quality of salt to make the salt finer and finer.
It is well known that seawater contains salt, but all major countries have spent a lot of manpower and financial resources trying to extract the salt from seawater, but they have all failed in the end!
After decades of research, the Daqian Dynasty exhausted all methods and finally gave up.
Therefore, this is impossible to succeed!
Tang Yanran always had some doubts.
"But Fang Chen is a disciple of Gui Guzi. Fang Chen has created several miracles before, such as the medicine to treat the plague. This alone can shock the whole world!"
"I'm really worried that Fang Chen can extract salt from sea water."
Tang Qingshan shook his head and denied.
"Yanran, don't think too highly of Fang Chen. It's true that Fang Chen is a disciple of Gui Guzi, but have you read some of Gui Guzi's works?"
"Decades ago, Gui Guzi wrote a book. He also studied salt. The book once recorded that salt from seawater cannot be used. If you use it, you will suffer from abdominal pain. Over time, you will be sick, with a sallow complexion and thin skin. In two or three years, you will be as thin as a stick.
If there is more than enough, he will become seriously ill and die suddenly!"
"Even Gui Guzi himself said that there is no way to use seawater salt, and Fang Chen is Gui Guzi's disciple, how can he possibly create it?"
Tang Yanran had not read this book, so Tang Qingshan quickly took out a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Tang Yanran.
Many of Guiguzi's works have been circulated in the world, and he also has in-depth research and understanding of table salt.
After Tang Yanran saw it, she finally felt at ease. Since the master couldn't do it, how could this apprentice do it?
No matter what Fang Chen does there, even if there are salt mines on that island, salt wells everywhere, and a lot of salt, it is impossible to feed everyone in the entire Great Yan Dynasty!
Tang Qingshan added: "It has been several days, and Bai Yongliang's plan is probably about to be implemented."
"We don't have to do anything, just wait for the good news."
…
Bai family.
The entire hall was set up as a mourning hall.
In the center of the hall, there were two young men in white and filial piety, kneeling on the ground, burning paper and crying bitterly.
"Second uncle, why did my father die? Why? Our Bai family worked hard for the entire court and the entire country and died, but now my father died at the hands of the monster Fang Chen! Second uncle, is this the case?
Forget it?"
"My eldest brother and I were guarding our family and country at the border, and we only returned home once every few years. I never thought that my father would die tragically!"
These two people are Bai Chuan's two sons, Bai Changkong and Bai Wu.
When they learned that their father had died, they hurried back. After they returned, the Bai family began to prepare for the funeral.
Bai Yongliang told everything that happened. Of course, as for Bai Chuan's death, he said that he was forced to death by Fang Chen. In order to calm the situation, Bai Yongliang had to cut off Bai Chuan's head.
Bai Changkong and Bai Wu hated him so much that they wished they could arrest Fang Chen right now and cut his body into pieces!
Bai Yongliang comforted his two nephews.
"You two young masters, please rest assured that our Bai family members will not die in vain. The Ghost Pavilion has already arranged the following matters. We will definitely eradicate Fang Chen and destroy everything around him!"
"When the time comes, we will get back everything we have lost!"
The glory, status, and endless money will all belong to the Bai family when the time comes.
Bai Changkong's face was full of resentment, "My father is dead. Even if he regains honor and everything, what's the use? Can he resurrect the dead?"
Bai Wu also said: "Since His Majesty is unkind and unjust, and wants to kill us heroes and deprive us of the Bai family's titles, why should we serve such a country! Serve such a court!"
Bai Changkong and Bai Wu were extremely sad. When Bai Yongliang heard Bai Wu's words, he hurriedly said: "You can say these words in front of me, but don't say them outside."
"Please remember our identities and just make the arrangements above."
"The arrangement from above? Haha!" Bai Wu laughed twice at himself, feeling extremely dissatisfied.
"We have been working for the Ghost Pavilion, but in the end, they failed to protect our Bai family! The Ghost Pavilion promised us before that our Bai family would prosper and have everything. They also promised that they would protect us, but now my father is dead.
Got it!"
"What is the promise of Ghost Pavilion?"
"When something happened to our Bai family, where was the Ghost Pavilion?"
Bai Changkong also thought of many things, and his face was filled with tears.
"The second brother is right. First something happened to the Zhang family, Zhang Yu, and then his two sons. If the Ghost Pavilion had come forward at that time, it would not have caused such a tragic situation!"
"Later, Tian Xuzi also died, and things got out of control, but the people in the Ghost Pavilion still didn't do anything!"
"After my father died, the Ghost Pavilion was still not planning to take action. It was you, the second uncle, who knelt in front of the people of the Ghost Pavilion and begged them, and they agreed to come forward!"
"The Ghost Pavilion is our master, but this master doesn't care about our life or death at all!!"
