I want to make salt.
The first step is to extract raw materials, mining.
Li Xiao arranged for twenty miners, accounting for the majority.
Li Xiao found out when he came.
The miners heard the order and started mining with their pickaxes.
While some people at other steps were idle.
The assembly line only stays at the front, while the people behind are taking advantage of it!
Can people be left idle after paying wages?
"Xiao Zhi, come here."
Li Xiao waved and ordered: "Although those people behind have fixed positions, they can be deployed temporarily."
"Now let others help with mining, and everyone will return to work at about the same time."
"You are the person in charge here. The situation on site should be flexible and not too rigid."
This was the first time for Li Xiongzhi to engage in such management work, so Li Xiao didn't mind cultivating him.
"Brother Xiao said yes, I will do it now."
Li Xiongzhi responded and immediately gave the order.
Next,
Li Xiao took Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui to the brine room.
"Gao Xu, didn't you ask me last night why I wasn't worried about others learning this salt-making method?"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Actually, the most critical step in this salt-making method is to prepare this special brine formula to separate the plasma. Even if you learn other steps, you won't be able to make salt."
Upon hearing this.
Zhu Gaoxu understood.
"I see, the most critical step of the formula is still in our hands, so I feel relieved."
Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "My brother-in-law is still taller!"
Hearing such a secret, Zhu Gaosui felt as if he had entered the inner circle.
He stared at the brine and sneered: "Who knows this secret except the three of us..."
As he spoke, he scratched his neck with his hand.
It means killing people and silencing them.
Li Xiao: "..."
Why do you feel like this guy is so insidious?
...
Half an hour later.
The three of them prepared the brine, enough for the first batch of salt.
After Li Xiao and Li Xiongzhi gave instructions, they headed back home.
According to the time, it will probably take three or four days to make the first batch of salt.
Everything is straightened out here, and there is no need to keep wasting it.
I need to go back to Prince Yan's Mansion and be intimate with my princess wife, so I can get a lot of points.
That's it.
The three of them rode horses and left the mine.
Mercedes-Benz on the way home.
...
...
Dadongzhuang, Zhang Family Courtyard.
Zhang Maojin, who sold it to Li Xiao in the mine, naturally heard about the recent commotion they made.
"Master, I heard that the mine has started construction, and many villagers in the village have gone to work there."
A young man in black reported that he was Zhang Maojin’s youngest son.
Zhang Maojin smoothed his white goatee and said with a disdainful smile: "It's just a bunch of dandy boys messing around, why should you pay attention to them?"
The young man in black asked worriedly: "Do you think that salt mine...will really produce salt? Then won't we suffer a big loss?"
"Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?"
Zhang Maojin kicked a few times with his crutch and cursed: "That piece of land was left by the previous dynasty. If we can get salt, will the court leave it to us? You can't talk without using your brain."
The young man in black smiled awkwardly and said, "Dad, aren't I worried? If you say this, my son will feel relieved."
"That broken land is of no use at all. There is not even a single piece of wood, and we can't grow food."
Zhang Maojin smiled proudly: "If it weren't for your father's cleverness, he wouldn't be able to sell it for fifty taels of silver. How can such a good thing come from fifty taels of silver that I picked up for nothing?"
The young man in black responded with a smile: "Yes, those fools in the mine lost fifty taels. I heard that they even hired fifty villagers to work. It was so bad that they didn't even have to wear their pants."
Zhang Maojin said earnestly: "So, Lao Liu, you have to use your brain in everything. If we don't participate in things we don't understand, we won't lose money. Without this kind of thinking, how can we keep the family business passed down from our ancestors."
"Yes, yes, dad taught me a lesson."
The young man in black nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, another middle-aged man walked into the room, the second eldest son of the Zhang family.
"Second brother, you seem to have something on your mind?" Lao Liu asked.
"There is indeed something strange today." The second child said.
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Maojin and said, "Dad, do you think this is strange..."
Zhang Maojin said: "What's weird? Don't be coy, just say it."
The second child nodded and said, "Today I went to the county government office to do some work, and I found a notice posted on the notice board in front of the county government office."
"It says that Beiping Prefecture is now open to recruiting salt households. As long as salt can be produced, a salt household license will be issued directly."
"Moreover, the price of salt is now 30% higher than before."
The words fell.
Zhang Maojin and his youngest son both frowned.
The second son of the Zhang family continued: "The blame lies here. As soon as our salt mountain was sold, the notice from the court came down, and then the salt field over there also started construction. This is a very good connection... you say The boy who bought the salt mine...doesn't he have any connections?"
Zhang Maojin frowned and said: "What way can I find? It's just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. If the salt mine can produce salt, my life will be in vain."
At the same time, he also had a murmur in his heart.
After all, he is an old fox who has lived for sixty years, so he is still a little strange.
He waved his hand: "Lao Liu, you are like this... secretly asking the villagers who work in the salt field..."
The sixth child of the Zhang family nodded: "Dad, don't worry, my son knows..."
....
....
Li Xiao returned to Prince Yan's Mansion again.
It's already afternoon.
There are some changes in the house, it's quite festive, with lights and red lanterns hanging everywhere.
After asking around, I found out that tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival.
"It's already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
"There are only nine days left before we get engaged on the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month."
"If we speed up the progress, we should be able to complete the salt mine before the engagement and give it to my father-in-law as a betrothal gift."
After returning to his residence, Li Xiao felt a little tired and lay on the bed to think about it.
"By the way, I'm in a hurry today, so I haven't looked at the points mall yet."
Li Xiao suddenly thought of this.
[Items refreshed in the system mall today:]
[1. A box of hardcover Ferrero Rocher chocolates. 1500 points are consumed. 】
[2. A small bottle of human albumin infusion can greatly improve the body’s resistance and prolong life. Spend 5,000 points. 】
[3. A 54-inch Warwick smart TV (containing tens of millions of movie sources). Consume 80,000 points. 】
[Current points: 23250 points]
"I'll go, I'm so lucky today, even the TV set was turned on!"
Seeing the items in the point shopping mall, Li Xiao sighed happily: "It's a pity that I can't afford it!"
To be honest, Li Xiao really wanted this TV.
There were really few entertainment activities in ancient times.
There is a TV.
Wouldn't it be great to watch movies, TV series, and anime while drinking Coke?
But I don’t have enough points... I have to wait for the next opportunity.
It seems that the points are still too few!
"Buy chocolate and human albumin."
Li Xiao hesitated for a while, but bought the other two items.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
At this time there was a knock on the door.
A servant came to report: "Mr. Xiao, Zhang Cuicui outside the door said she wanted to see you."
Hearing this, Li Xiao quickly jumped out of bed.
It seemed that after not seeing Ningyun for a few days, the other party missed him a little.
Although it is not intentional to indulge in lust, it is obvious that this move...
The effect is quite obvious...
