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 such a terrified expression that his tail was almost wagging. 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 hadn't completely evaporated, a lot of white salt frost had precipitated on the edge of the pool. I dipped my fingers a little and put it in my mouth to taste, "It's salty! Really...really salt?! My lord!"

  He stood up suddenly, "This is a great contribution!" He looked at Wen Jiuxiao with excitement and admiration. Your lord is indeed a lord, even in a poor place like Shanyun County, you can still achieve something. Look, less than a month after taking office, the adults have produced sea salt, which can be dried directly in the sun without using firewood. How much is the savings?

  If more salt fields are opened by the sea, how much salt will be collected! Zhuo Zhengyang could already think of those salt mountains. Is that a mountain of salt? That is a mountain of gold and silver!

   Sure enough, it was the most correct choice for him to follow the adults.

"Of course it's salt. Zheng Yang, I'm going to take back all the salt in Shanyun County. In the future, the Yan county government will sell it by itself and lower the price of salt so that the people of Shanyun County can eat salt." As for Shanyun For places other than Yun County, the price can be whatever the price should be, and the county government must also have income, right?

   "Your Excellency is righteous! Shanyun County has a parent official like you, and the people are blessed." Zhuo Zhengyang's heart was churning, and he was so convinced by Wen Jiuxiao!

  While he and Qingfeng went to see the sea water and discussed how to dig the salt fields, Yu Zhi tugged Wen Jiuxiao's sleeve, "This matter has to be reported to the imperial court, right?"

  Wen Jiuxiao nodded, "Indeed. But there is no rush, maybe in a year or so." At that time, he had already accumulated a lot of salt.

   "How courageous!" Yu Zhi's eyes widened, "Are you going to rebel?" This is salt, salt dealers in this dynasty will be beheaded.

  Even if Wen Jiuxiao is an official, but he discovered the method of drying salt not only did not report it to the court, but also sold it privately for profit. If the emperor knew about it, a few lives would not be enough to kill him.

   "Are you afraid?" Wen Jiuxiao was expressionless, looking at Yu Zhi with black eyes.

  Yu Zhi blinked, "Are you really going to die?" She had known for a long time that this man had principles in every action, but in fact he was the most unscrupulous and rebellious in his heart. He had no principles and no fear in his heart.

   "Are you kidding me, do you really believe it?" Wen Jiuxiao chuckled and touched her bright eyes, "Don't worry, your man has a wife and son, and he lives a good life, and he doesn't want to die."

  What is the point of living in a pool of stagnant water? Live or die, does it make a difference? It's interesting to play something exciting and something different in life!

die? Doesn't everyone have to go through this? Early and late make little difference.

   But after having Yu Xiaozhi, he didn't think so anymore. The world still disappoints him, but for Yu Xiaozhi, he can still bear it.

"From accidentally discovering the method of sun-drying salt in sea water, to successfully producing refined salt through repeated experiments, and then reporting it to the court, it will take a year and a half, right? The emperor is far away from Shangao in Shanyun County, and it is not a problem to keep it a secret for a year and a half. .”

  Yu Zhi gave him a big white eye. This man, the first half is quite plausible, but the latter "the mountain is high and the emperor is far away", hmph, it shows that he doesn't have much awe for His Majesty the Emperor.

   Well, in fact, she didn't have much awe.

  Yu Zhi opened his hand, "You just know what to do. Anyway, if something happens, I will take my father and Zhou Zhou overseas." Even if they don't go to sea, I believe no one will be able to find her.

  Wen Jiuxiao entangled him, "Don't, just bring one more husband. Let the husband do all the hard work."

  Yu Zhi squinted at him, "No, I have a big boy, so I don't need you."

   "How can a son be as useful as a husband? Right, Yu Xiaozhi?" Wen Jiuxiao said the most humble words solemnly, "I beg my wife to bring my husband with me."

   Glancing at the other people not far away, Yu Zhi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, "You have to show some face!"

   "Yu Xiaozhi, you are going to leave and run away for your husband, why do you need face for your husband?"

  Yu Zhi was so stunned by him that he couldn't speak, and he gritted his teeth for a long time and said: "If, I'm just making an analogy, hasn't the thing happened yet?"

   "I don't believe in analogies, Yu Xiaozhi, you shouldn't have such thoughts at all! Is your husband not good enough? Isn't it hard enough? Last night you said you would..."

"Shut up!" Yu Zhi covered his mouth, angrily, looked left and right, saw that no one was paying attention to their side, his eyes were burning, "What nonsense are you talking about? What are you doing? Can you still live a good life? Say it! Say it!"

  Wen Jiuxiao groaned twice, with aggrieved eyes expressing that he could not speak.

   "I'll take my hand away, don't talk nonsense. If you believe it or not, I'll beat you up!" Yu Zhi stared at him tightly, not daring to let go.

  Wen Jiuxiao nodded quickly, and Yu Zhi then let go of his hand. As soon as Wen Jiuxiao got his freedom, he said, "As long as you don't want to leave me and run alone, you can talk about anything." He never compromised on this.

  Yu Zhi gritted his teeth, "Okay, I got it, I won't leave you behind." No wonder! He gave him a blank look, "The wind is so strong that it gives me a headache. I'm getting into the carriage. You, go to work!"

   Really, how did this person become the faceless and skinless look he is now? Where did that cold and arrogant noble son go?

  Wen Jiuxiao looked at Yu Zhi's furious back, his eyes glowed with warmth. But when he turned around, the expression on his face was completely restrained.

  How important is drying salt? Wen Jiuxiao selected all trustworthy people, and now there are enough manpower, but when there are more salt fields in the future, there may not be enough manpower. But it doesn't matter, by that time, the method of drying salt has been reported to the imperial court, and people can be recruited from the local area.

The infrastructure in the county has been carried out in an orderly manner. More than a hundred people were used to build the house alone. Some transported stones and wood, built courtyard walls, built houses, and bought vegetables and cooked... to build houses. It is also divided into areas. Instead of building one area and then building the second area, it is done at the same time. Anyway, there are many people, so how fast is the progress?

  The rest of the people are going to build the city wall. The city wall in Shanyun County... It's a shame to mention it. It's useless. Even a dog can't stop it. Do you expect it to block people?

   As for road construction, ha, isn’t there the Zhang family? I asked for advice from the county magistrate, and his family started construction together on the sixth day of the year. The servants were not enough, so they borrowed people from the yamen, but the Zhang family naturally paid for the wages of these people borrowed by the Zhang family.

  Stones are needed to build a house, and stones are needed to build a city wall. Of course, stones are indispensable for road construction. Although small stones and gravel are fine, they are still stones!

  Shanyun County only has this quarry, so naturally the supply cannot be supplied. How can the Zhang family dare to compete with the county government? I had to buy it from other places, not to mention expensive, and it took a lot of effort to ship it.
