The four hundred and fortieth chapters salt pond has become(1/2)

Chang Mao and Zhu Muying, not far away, stared at each other with big eyes and squeezing each other for a long time, but there was no result.

According to the military habits, if you dare to attack Zhu Zhen in this way, regardless of who it is, the first thing you have to do is to save Zhu Zhen, and the second is to capture and kill the murderer.

But the scene is quite awkward at the moment. The little girl is staring at everyone, making everyone dare not take action. The little girl's combat power is really too high.

Although Gao is so arrogant, he thinks he is not his opponent.

What is particularly important is that the little girl in front of her is also a guest of honor for her uncle. She is the aunt Zhu Zhen coaxes every day. How can I face this?

But if he had no reaction at all, he seemed a little sorry for Zhu Zhen.

The two of them were struggling. Zhu Zhen had already climbed up the embankment from the water. His robe was dripping with water, like a chicken, and he was in a mess.

As soon as he climbed up, Zhu Zhen's face turned red and said furiously: "Little girl, are you crazy?"

Hu Jingxue did not show any weakness and glared at all, saying, "Who told you to speak without any restraint?"

It's time to fight!"

Zhu Zhen said angrily: "You have to chase me and ask, are you blamed me now?

And have I said anything too much?"

Hu Jingxue raised her pink fist, wrinkled her pretty nose, and threatened: "It's clear that you are dirty and dirty, not a good person! If you dare to spit on the girl's mouth, I will beat your mother to not know you!"

Chang Mao and Zhu Muying looked weird, and the other soldiers and generals also looked weird, and they worked so hard to hold back their laughter... This girl is so fierce! Even Zhu Zhen can't subdue her, so everyone should not think about it.

Zhu Zhen was so angry that his nose was smoking, and he said furiously: "If you weren't a female person, I would definitely make you regret saying such arrogant words today!"

"Swish..." Hu Jingxue's small nostrils spurted, her round jaw slightly raised, and her face was disdainful: "You can only comfort yourself. Just like you, I will beat ten of them at one!"

Zhu Zhen was killed by the head and had a heart on the spot... Is there anything more shameful than being so ridiculed, contemptuous and disdainful by a delicate little girl?

If so, it must be that he is really no match for the little girl... Zhu Zhen doesn't know what to do.

Go up and fight to the death?

It must be impossible to fight. From the moment I met Old Man Hu, Zhu Zhen knew that families like the Hu family, who fled south from the Song Dynasty and have been going on to this day, are much stronger than others in terms of force.

If a man, even if he is the God of War, and Xiang Yu is reborn, even if he knows that he will die, Zhu Zhen will rush forward without hesitation and fight to the death! A man's pride will never allow such unscrupulous provocation. Even if he splatters blood for five steps and dies on the spot, he will have to use his own blood to wash away this shame! But the little girl he is facing now... but is he despised by a little girl?

Or in front of your subordinates?

Zhu Zhen almost vomited three liters of blood! Although Hu Jingxue was annoyed by Zhu Zhen, he saw that his face was extremely ugly, and the veins on his forehead burst out, and his eyes were staring at him as if he was about to get angry. He felt guilty... Although this guy hated him, he was still good to him. He always made food for himself in different ways, and he always followed his own will.

Isn’t it a bit too much to do this yourself now?

The little girl pursed her lips, her eyes wandering and she didn't dare to look at Zhu Zhen.

At this time, Old Man Hu couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Rareless! A woman actually attacked the uncle. Do you want the rules of the Hu family?

Go back quickly and think about it for a month!”

Old Man Hu felt that his granddaughter was too willful and too much.

But I really can't bear to give up the punishment too much. As long as I let him go back and think about his mistakes and drive away the matter... "Oh..." Hu Jingxue responded obediently, lowered Zhen's head, and did not dare to look at Zhu Zhen anymore. His steps were light and he ran away without a trace... Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth, and his veins roared. He looked at the little girl's slender and slender back with a hatred. He felt nervous: Damn girl, wait for my brother, sooner or later, let your back to me and kneel down to beg for mercy! Old man Hu was also embarrassed. His granddaughter was indeed too much. Zhu Zhen was not only the earl of the empire, but also the Pingzhang of the province. He had more than ten thousand soldiers and countless warships! How could he have face when he was bullied like this by a little woman?

Hu Detao had already smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not bad at sacrificing my sister, and I'm not worried about my young age. I hope my uncle will forgive me if I offend you."

Zhu Zhen took a deep breath. Now that things have come to this, what can he do?

But it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Ten years later, he will knock it down with one stick... Dead girl, cherish it! ******************************

The sun shines and the waves surging.

In the gentle areas along the coast of Qu County, square ponds have been built long ago.

These ponds are all made of red bricks, with a layer of cement on the surface. After drying, the seawater will not penetrate, and it will be better to isolate the mud and sand.

These pools are not deep, but spacious. At this time, the pool is filled with sea water. From a distance, the square pool is like the paddy fields prepared to plant rice in spring in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River... The workers hired by the salt farm are all civilians nearby. In the past, they either worked for wealthy families or were hired by the aristocratic people, and they were all engaged in the business of boiling salt.

From the planning of the salt field, leveling the beach, building the pool, until now the pool is filled with sea water, they have experienced it from beginning to end.

But now looking at the pool of sea water in front of you, you still looked confused... "Original, what do you think this pool is used for?"

Liu Laoliu's wife looked at the pool filled with sea water in confusion, quietly poked her husband's bite, and asked in a low voice.

His family was the first group of workers recruited and hired by the county government. When he signed a "contract" with the county government, he heard that he would sign and stamp the "contract" and press the fingerprints, and he was almost scared to death.

There is no one in the family who knows how to read. Who knows what is written on the "contract"?

There is no permanent property in the family except for two broken kilns, so they will not be profitable. However, the Liu family has a famous flower bud... Not that the uncle fell in love with our daughter, and he thought of a way to deceive us on the body sale contract, right?

It was not until the county government officials tried to explain it so much that they drew their pens and pressed their fingerprints in panic.

If you don’t have to be punished, he is Ping Zhang. I heard that he is still an earl, his father-in-law is still Yingtian’s Duke. Even if he likes his daughter, will there be some resistance?

It’s impossible to just take all the names of the family for the sake of the girl... But after the first month expired, the wages stipulated in the "contract" were taken into hand, and the members of the Liu family realized that the uncle was not lying. They really just hired them to work, not to worry about their daughter.

But they were even more strange. They were just repairing one pool and one pool. After repairing it, they opened the gate and poured a lot of sea water in the high tide, and then closed the gate... What are you doing?

Liu Laoliu frowned, and Jiangnan's burly figure stood straight and could not answer his wife's questions.

God knows what to do when building so many rice fields-like ponds... I have heard of drying salt before, but I have never heard of it being operated like this.

The task of closing the gate is very easy, and there is no need for adults to do it, and children from all families can do it.

A group of children in the distance closed the gate of the last row of water pools, laughing and chasing, running wildly in the pool where they had just lost their calf.

A daughter who was running in the front rolled up her green silk pants to her knees and ran lightly in the pool, but she was still soaked in the water. She pressed her trousers tightly on her thighs to outline a green and delicate curve. Her two white and tender calves splashed crystal water as the sea water, sprinkling a string of silver bell-like laughter.

It was Liu Yuniang, the daughter of the Liu family... Liu Laoliu and his wife looked at the running daughter and the skinny boy chasing behind their sister. The corners of their mouths couldn't help but crack and showed a happy smile.

A sudden low cry interrupted the beautiful picture under the sun.

"My uncle is here, and there are still many people walking with him!"

Liu Laoliu's heart trembled, his face changed color and waved hard to his daughter: "My grandma, hurry up and take your brother home. The nobles are not allowed to come out without it!"

The beautiful and beautiful Liu Yuniang looked confused, but she, who had always been very obedient and obedient, did not question her father's intention, but responded frivolously, turned around and grabbed her younger brother who had just hit her waist, and hurried back home.

Liu Laoliu was relieved.

It is said that the uncle was not yet old and not only married Zhang Shicheng's daughter, but also accepted many beautiful concubines in the county government. He must be a lustful playboy. If he saw his Yu Niang, he would have become evil.

These playboys looked pretty, but in fact they were full of thieves and prostitutes, and they were not the least...? A group of noble people in gorgeous clothes slowly walked from afar.

?Zhu Zhen was dressed in a blue color, and before he was wearing an official uniform, he walked first. Zhang Xu and Old Man Hu walked by his side with his hands behind his back. A group of gentry and merchants who bought salt farm shares followed behind, surrounded Zhu Zhen in the momentum of stars and moonlight, just like the leaders of the next generation inspected... From this, it can be seen that the praises of the red and the flattery are the same in ancient and modern times.

Zhu Zhen walked along the way, pointing fingers and introducing various facilities of the salt farm, but more of them explaining the uses of various alms to Zhang Xu and old man Hu around him.

As for those gentry and merchants, it is enough to show you what you bought after you paid for it. Could it be that my uncle can explain it personally?

?Along the deserted beach by the sea, countless salt ponds are lined up one after another.

The salt pool is dug down one by one from top to bottom, with a drop of about three inches. There is a pool door between the upper and lower pools to flow downwards.

Large ditches on two or three sides are dug around the salt pond, called salt ditches to prepare for tide storage and water storage.

A water door is opened on the ditches facing the sea and a gate is set up to open and close.

??When the tide is high, seawater is poured into the salt ditch, and the seawater in the ditch is drawn into the high-balance meter with a slurry or a water wheel, and silt into the high-balance meter, and sediment is precipitated in the pond; the next day, the seawater in the high-balance meter is put into the second-balance meter, and the high-balance meter is drained into the high-balance meter; on the third day, the seawater in the second-balance meter is put into the third-balance meter, and the seawater in the high-balance meter is drained into the second-balance meter, and the high-balance meter is drained into the seawater.

By day, the water is evaporated daily and increased the concentration of brine. The third layer of the halogen platform is the crystallization pond. At this point, the sea water has basically been in a saturated state and continues to evaporate under saturation. It takes less than a few days to crystallize. After a few days, the salt will be returned to the lump.

And? Not all brine will crystallize into salt, and there will always be a part of it left. The remaining liquid is called mother liquor, also known as "bite braised". Zhu Zhen knew that multiple chemical raw materials could be extracted from it, but how to operate it was dark... Come?? In front of a crystal pool, Zhu Zhen stopped and ignored the salt field manager who nodded and bowed. Instead, he waved a burly and strong man not far away and shouted.

Liu Lao Liu was flattered. This was the earl of the empire. The emperor was not a son-in-law, and a god-like figure in the sky. He quickly trotted in front of him and bent down to salute: "That... uncle, I'll give you a gift!"

Zhu Zhen likes such a silly and strong man the most. He can work when thrown into the field and is brought to the battlefield again as a good cannon fodder... He patted Liu Laoliu on the shoulder intimately and asked with a smile: "No need to be polite, don't you know your brother's name?"

Liu Laoliu almost knelt down...? My uncle actually called us "Brother"?

??This guy was so excited that he felt dry and licked his lips. Then he replied tremblingly: "The little one is Liu Laoliu."

?Zhu Zhen's face froze and his mouth twitched: "Haha... this name is good, this name is good..." If Zhang Xiaohua is there, she will definitely make a lot of trouble.

Liu Laoliu thought that the ancestral tomb was filled with smoke?

Such a great man who was so powerful in Jiangnan actually patted his shoulder to call him brothers. This is a great honor! Everyone says that this uncle is a big bastard, murderous like a cruel and violent person, but the young and handsome young man standing in front of him is heroic and kind, so how could he feel any resentment?

It turns out that they are all spreading rumors. If they had known this, they would not have driven their daughter home, or if they were turned around in front of their uncle's eyes and were attracted by him, they would be able to have a wealth of food and food in their entire life, and would not be as bitter as marrying a sea and boiling salt. How could Zhu Zhen know that his image changed rapidly in Liu Laoliu's eyes and had become an existence at the level of "a good son-in-law of the nation"?

He pointed to the crystal pool in front of him and asked, "What is the concentration of brine now?"

When talking about his job, Liu Laoliu quickly gathered his energy and replied respectfully: "When I say that, the concentration of brine is nearly 100%. According to what Mr. Bo said, it won't take long to produce salt."

Zhu Zhenqi said: "So accurate?"

?How can the brine concentration be so accurate if you do not have professional testing equipment, just observe with your eyesight or test with your hands?

? Liu Laoliu smiled and said, "The little girl was naughty. She was playing by the salt pond the day before yesterday. The lotus seed in her hand accidentally fell into the pond, but found that the lotus seeds did not sink to the bottom, but floated flat on the brine. It was so strange that she used lotus seeds to experiment one by one, and found that if the lotus seeds floated obliquely in the brine, it would be 70% to 80% to 80% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 10% to 1

The pool of brine the day before yesterday had already appeared with salt flowers, but it was a heavy rain at night that diluted the concentration of the brine. Fortunately, it was sunny yesterday and exposed to the sun in one day, and it reached 100% more brine again!"

Use lotus seeds to test the concentration of brine?

Zhu Zhen thought about it and said that the higher the concentration of brine, the greater the specific gravity, and the lotus seeds will float on the water. The theory is not biased, no problem... Zhu Zhen was surprised by a simple farmer who was able to create such a simple test method.

However, Zhu Zhen's rules have always been "reward and punished if you have merits", especially in terms of invention and creation. If the craftsmen with their skills do not stick to the rules, but constantly discover and invent new craftsmanship, improve the quality and manufacturing speed of products, there must be a strict reward system.

The so-called reward must be a brave man. When the money reaches a certain amount, you can even give up your life, let alone inventions?

?Zhu Zhen nodded with relief and praised: "Good job! Come on!"
To be continued...
