When Li Wanyi said this, looking at Zhao Feng's helpless eyes, she immediately shrank her neck and couldn't continue talking.

Zhao Feng shook his head, smiled, and said to Li Wanyi.

"You are really a standard young lady!"

"Let me teach you, in this business, the simplest thing is to see how much money you can make, which is the profit of the entire industry!"

"Profit and expenditure are inseparable..."

Zhao Feng talked eloquently and briefly stated the knowledge about business that he had learned in later generations.

Li Wanyi listened to Zhao Feng's eloquent words here, with such a confident and knowledgeable look, that Li Wanyi couldn't help but feel a little crazy for a moment.

Li Wanyi has never seen such a man. Not only does he know so much knowledge, but he also exudes confidence and a light that is different from anyone else. She feels that when she looks at Zhao Feng, there is a deer in her heart. .

This made Li Wanyi blush with embarrassment. Zhao Feng saw that Li Wanyi had been looking at him. He didn't know what he was thinking, as if he was in a daze, and he couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that this student himself wanted to It takes a long time to teach!

Early the next morning, Zhao Feng came to the construction site of Salt Mountain again. Seeing that the workers had excavated a lot of salt mines, Zhao Feng nodded with great satisfaction.

Then he called a few workers who had previously smashed the iron ore and took them to cut down some trees.

There is a river next to the salt mountain, and because of this, the people of the Li family can continuously use the river water to bring out the salt from the ore.

Moreover, the river flows very fast and the water flow is not small, which can be used to build a waterwheel.

In addition to moving water to high places, waterwheels also have another function, which is to provide power.

The waterwheel can be used as a very good source of power by continuously rotating under the action of water flow. You only need to add some gears to use this power to make a hydraulic millstone.

Using a water-powered millstone to grind those stones is much more time- and effort-saving than manual grinding. You can even connect a heavy hammer to place large stones under the heavy hammer to continuously break them!

Zhao Feng had already had experience in making waterwheels, and now he just wanted to replace the buckets in the waterwheels with wood chips.

Soon, Zhao Feng led the workers to chop down a few trees and make a water wheel. Then he selected some trees with denser and harder wood to make two gears.

When the waterwheel was erected in the river, the workers looked at the waterwheel with some confusion, not knowing what this spinning thing was.

Zhao Feng installed the gears and millstone directly, and saw that the millstone continued to rotate driven by the water flow.

The workers suddenly exclaimed and looked at the millstone driven by the waterwheel in disbelief.

Zhao Feng smiled slightly and said to the workers.

"Why are you standing there? Hurry up and put all those ores into the millstone!"

“The more finely these ores are ground, the shorter the time it takes to extract the salt and the better the extraction.”

"Also, we can put a big hammer here."

As Zhao Feng said this, he directly found a hammer and connected it to the water wheel with a hemp rope. As the water wheel continued to rotate, the hammer was lifted high and hit the ground heavily.

This is just a very simple mechanical device, which is nothing more than changing the direction of the force through hemp rope and some gears, and connecting it to some other things to ensure that the power of the waterwheel can be released over and over again.

Zhao Feng asked the workers to throw the large stones under the hammer. Under the constant hammer blows, all the stones were broken into small pieces.

These small pieces of stone were picked up by workers through the hopper below, put into the millstone to grind them into smaller pieces, and finally put into the pool.

Seeing that most of the stones had dissolved, Zhao Feng said to the workers.

"If you want to make better snowflake salt, you have to manually heat it. The pot is still too small now, so I can only get a few more pots to use together."

"I'm going to tell you how to extract these salts. You must remember every step carefully. You must not make any mistakes when operating later. Otherwise, you will not be able to make snowflake salt. Got it!"

Hearing this, the workers responsible for making snowflake salt nodded hurriedly. They were all Zhao Feng, and the foreman here was asked to select people who were smart and very down-to-earth, so there would be no mistakes.

Zhao Feng told these workers how to make snowflake salt and asked them to form a standardized process. In fact, this can already become an assembly line.

The biggest criterion for setting up an assembly line is to allow workers in each place to form their own standardized operations. If there are no standards, it will be easy for one worker to produce better products than the workers next to him. Things are very poor.

Zhao Feng was making these snowflake salts in full swing here, and the Liu family couldn't wait for a long time. Although they still didn't know where Zhao Feng found Li Wanyi, but Li Wanyi didn't show up for such a long time, so they thought He wanted to rename and transfer all the ancestral property of the Li family.

However, after arriving at the government office, the government officials who were responsible for renaming and transferring properties repeatedly declined, either saying that the procedures were incomplete or making other excuses.

Liu Cang wanted to take all the money into his treasury, but was stopped by Yu Ruhai. Instead, Yu Ruhai gave the money to the foremen he selected and asked them to distribute the money to those who came over first. People who work.

The Liu family suddenly encountered obstacles at every turn, which made Liu Er vaguely feel that something was wrong.

"This damn Yu Ruhai and that Zhao Feng, what do they want to do?"

"No, I have to write a letter to the Minister of Justice!"

With Liu Er thinking like this, he planned to use the officials in the capital to suppress Yu Ruhai and ask them to cooperate with the Liu family and put all the money into the Liu family's pockets.

So Liu Er wrote a letter directly and sent someone to the capital to deliver it to the Minister of Justice.

After the Minister of Punishment received the letter from the Liu family, he was about to reply, but the servant of the Ministry of Punishment suddenly came over to report it.

"Sir, His Highness the Fourth Prince invites you over!"

The Minister of Justice was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
