Salt has always been an important scarce resource.
At this time, Xu Yunyan's salt field actually produced a thin layer of salt in seven days, which surprised everyone in Zhaojiacun.
The people of Zhaojiacun watched Xu Yunyan take the lead in piling up the salt in the salt field and not transporting it out. They were a little confused as to why they were letting the sea water wash away at the beach.
But no one said anything, and they didn't dare to ask anything. They just kept saying that Xu Yunyan, the owner of the family, had the care of God, and he actually turned salt out of the sea water.
Xu Yunyan didn't say anything about the salt, and other people wouldn't make any gestures to these geese here? But seeing the snow-white salt being washed away by the sea water, Zhao Han cautiously took a step forward.
"Master! Does this salt really have nothing to do here?"
"It's okay. I'll ask the Niu brothers to go to the county town to find some soldiers to take a look around here in the next few days. I don't dare to let anything happen here."
However, before Xu Yunyan could arrange for the two Niu brothers to go to the county seat, some cavalrymen on horseback had already arrived, and the arrival of these people shocked the Zhaojia Village.
When they first came, they told Xu Yunyan's identity and asked Xu Yunyan to lead the army. Now here they are again, what do they do?
As always, when these people saw Xu Yunyan, they immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and saluted. This suddenly made the people of Zhaojiacun gossip again.
"Is there another war somewhere? Why is there another war not long after we settled down? How will we, ordinary people, live?"
While some people were talking here, Xu Yunyan waved his hand, "Don't worry, this is not something dangerous."
Sure enough, as Xu Yunzhao said, after he had just appeased the people of Zhaojia Village, the officers who were kneeling on one knee to salute Xu Yunyan stood up at Xu Yunyan's signal and gathered around happily.
"Captain, I didn't expect you to be here. It was so hard for us to find you!"
Xu Yunyan stared at them, "Why are you people here? But you are here because I have a task for you here."
As soon as they heard that there was a mission, the commanders and marshals of the Zhechong Mansion didn't care whether they wanted to listen to Xu Yunyan or not. Instead, they just patted their chests and made promises.
"If the Governor has something to do, just give him his orders. We will go up to the mountains of swords and the seas of fire without hesitation."
"I don't need you to go to the mountain of knives, and I don't need you to go to the sea of fire. What's more, I'm just asking for your help now, and I can't command you. Military and government orders are here, and we can't commit crimes against the wind."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, these Lu Shuai team members were all very talented and knew not to cause trouble, so they nodded here.
"Yes, we are here to help, not to obey the governor's orders. How great would it be if the forehead could still lead us?"
Just as they were sighing from the bottom of their hearts, Xu Yunyan pointed at the snow-white salt in the distance and said.
"I have to ask you brothers to arrange for someone to keep an eye on these things for me. I will wait until His Majesty's birthday to take them to the capital to present gifts to His Majesty."
"Don't worry, Commander. This is not only prepared for His Majesty, but also the Commander's wish. Even if we don't sleep, we still have to look after it."
Looking at these simple men, who were so loyal to him because they followed him in the Yunzhou battle and survived, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but shed a little tears.
"I still owe you too much, and I still fell in love with too many brothers in Yunzhou."
What Xu Yunyan said was a bit sad, which also made the men present a bit sad.
"We follow you with a clear conscience. The brothers who died in Yunzhou probably won't be dissatisfied. They know that no one will dare to bully us like this again after the governor avenged them. They will definitely be proud."
"Yes, isn't the reason why we are doing this so that no one will look down upon us again in the future? Then brothers, we have agreed that we must live in the future. No matter when, we will witness the Tang Dynasty become the most glorious dynasty together."
Xu Yunyan did not expect that this meeting would turn into such a loyal speech, but after speaking, Xu Yunyan changed his words: "After we have agreed on these things, we still have to ask the brothers. This is something that can make us live a better life." ah."
This time, these people knew the priority of this matter.
After witnessing Xu Yunyan's miraculous seven days with five acres of land, he was able to produce an amount of salt that Zhaojiacun could not afford even if he lost all his money. Xu Yunyan's salt field soon expanded to a hundred acres.
While they were drying out sea salt step by step in the salt field in Xu Yunyan's style, nothing happened to Xu Yunyan and Mei Jingjing.
During this period of time, Mei Jingjing might have been engaged to Xu Yunyan. Even though she lived in the same courtyard, she always avoided Xu Yunyan, which made Xu Yunyan feel itchy every day.
But what's the matter? What's wrong with me? I think my wife is not good enough?
Father Gao and Father Sun kept trying to persuade Xu Yunyan, "Master, you have to look away. You will get married soon. When you are together again, no one will say anything. Now let Jingjing Following the previous rules, it’s best that you two don’t meet each other.”
There were two old men who were going to preside over the marriage between himself and Mei Jingjing. They were here to persuade her. Xu Yunyan had no choice but to obey what they said and sigh here.
However, not long after this sigh, the day came when it was time to set off for the capital, and the sea salt was exposed to a lot of it in the Hundred Acres.
But looking at this mountain-like pile of sea salt, Xu Yunyan felt a little embarrassed, "What should we do? Are we going to forcefully send this sea salt to Beijing? How much manpower and material resources will it cost?"
Although it is a good thing that sea salt drying is successful, isn't it always said that good things come in pairs? Where is my other half? "
Xu Yunyan stood in front of the salt mountain outside, looking at the salt and meditating. Next to him, Xu Yunyan's old subordinates from Zhechong Mansion were complimenting him non-stop.
"The governor is the governor. He can do what ordinary people can't. He actually obtained such a large amount of salt easily. He will definitely be able to go to the capital to give a heavy gift to His Majesty."
Just when they were feeling this way, after they learned through rumors that there was such a huge amount of salt in Zhaojia Village, even the governor of Chuzhou was alarmed.
But before Xu Yunyan was guarding Yanshan, he suddenly heard the guard coming to report.
"Sir, Master Liu, the governor of Chuzhou, is here. What do you think we should do?"
Xu Yunyan, who was still here waiting for good things to come in pairs, instantly brightened up when he heard Liu Jian coming.
"The governor is here? Okay! That's great. I'll invite you soon."
