Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 881 Sea Salt
"Salt, sea salt, lots of sea salt!"

Shi Ding was dressed up, holding rough sea salt in both hands, his face was full of excitement, and he laughed loudly: "As expected by Brother Rong, the method of drying sea salt is really simple, and the amount of salt produced is also very impressive! "

Behind it is a salt field stretching for tens of acres.

At this time, most of the salt fields are filled with white flowers with a little bit of different color, rough sea salt, which looks quite pleasing to the eye.

"Master Hou, have you recorded all the salt making process?"

Jia Rong smiled lightly, without showing much excitement, and leisurely reminded: "The experiment was successful, and the details must be handled properly!"

"Brother Rong, don't worry, I won't disappoint you!"

Shi Ding was still in a state of excitement, and said loudly: "The amount of sea salt produced by these experimental salt fields alone is quite astonishing, and they are also constantly producing energy. It is definitely a cornucopia!"

"Master Hou, it's okay to take advantage of the trend to get some cheap money, but don't take advantage of Yantian's idea, neither you nor the historian can afford it!"

Seemingly aware of something, Jia Rong narrowed her eyes slightly, and reminded with a chuckle: "Just take the credit, and don't think too much about the rest!"

"This……"

Shi Ding was rather hesitant, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes.

Tsk, this is the nature of honor.

Regardless of his own situation at all, he wanted to take a bite when he saw the benefits.

It's just that the historians at this time simply don't have the strength to participate in the amazing benefits of Haiyan.

Jia Rong didn't continue to persuade, he and Shi Ding were not familiar with each other, so they could only be regarded as a solid alliance of interests.

If Shi Ding really had other thoughts, he wouldn't have any mood swings.

It's just that if something unexpected happens in the future, don't expect him to help.

It is a blessing or a curse, but people call themselves.

Fortunately, Shi Ding was still rational. After a while, he let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "The benefits are touching, I have experienced it myself!"

"Brother Rong, don't worry, I won't have any wrong thoughts!"

When he said this, Shi Ding had a solemn expression on his face, and everyone who saw it felt that his words were reliable.

Jia Rong naturally didn't take it seriously, and didn't want to guess whether this person's words were true or not. Anyway, the opportunity he gave was already in place, and the rest didn't matter.

"Let the brethren keep a close watch on Yantian, and don't let outsiders see the clues!"

He chuckled lightly: "After I report back to His Majesty, someone will come over to investigate the situation carefully, and the credit will be indispensable at that time!"

An excited look appeared on Shi Ding's face, and he said in a high voice: "Don't worry, if any nearby fishermen accidentally see it, I will temporarily detain them in the military camp!"

Nodding slightly, Jia Rong knew that there was no other way.

Once the news of the experimental salt field created by Shi Ding is leaked, the pressure that may be encountered is enormous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Mount Tai is overwhelming.

What's more, I am afraid that there will be a surprise attack by unknown armed personnel.

At that time, fishing villages with a radius of tens of miles will be unlucky. How can those who do bad things leave hidden dangers for themselves?
Don't think that he is scaremongering. When Yantian comes out, how many people's interests will be affected?
It even includes the royal relatives and the princes and grandchildren. It is estimated that they will not face such a force head-on today.

When that time really came, it was time to test Shi Ding.

Credit is not so easy to get, and the benefits given today are not so easy to get.

Jia Rong didn't explain these situations to Shi Ding in detail, but this person should know it well.

Otherwise, how could this man, who holds the command of 3000 troops and is Jia Rong's elder, be obedient and not discount at all?

Still want to share the risk and stress?

This is also good, so as to avoid additional accidents.

With 3000 troops, if they are commanded properly, it will not be a problem to guard the secrets of dozens of acres of salt fields for a long time.

After leaving, Jia Rong immediately handed the secret package to Jinjin.

Today's response is quite quick, as if it smells like silver.

The next day, Dai Quan came to the door on his own initiative.

"Eunuch came really quickly!"

Jia Rong received the Prime Minister of the Daming Palace in Ning'an Hall.

"You can't hurry up, the emperor is in a hurry!"

Dai Quan waved his hand and said, "Don't take out those vain things, let's leave immediately!"

Seeing his impatient posture, it was obvious that he was very anxious.

Jia Rong had no intention of whetting people's appetites. Since Dai Quan was so eager, he followed suit and immediately took people out of the capital to go to the remote coast of Jinmen.

"This, this is the salt field, and the sea salt produced by the sun?"

Only a few days have passed, and the weather has always been sunny.

Half of the salt pans on the beach are covered by white sea salt.

Of course, most of the sea salt in the salt pan has been reduced. This is the result of a few days of busy work, and it is all stored in a warehouse not far away.

Dai Quan didn't stop, after seeing the salt field, he went to the warehouse where the sea salt was stored, and he didn't mean to be careless at all.

Moreover, the detailed process of sun-drying sea salt was also inquired quite carefully, and any places that might be missed were even recorded directly with a pen and paper.

When Shi Ding saw this, he realized how correct Jia Rong's previous reminder was.

In case of negligence, if the minister of the Daming Palace in front of him notices it, it will be a lot of fun.

Fortunately, everything was well prepared.

After questioning and investigating for almost a day, Dai Quan finally relaxed his nerves, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over his body.

Even if it's a sunny day, I'm not used to the environment where the sea breeze blows. After a day of sea breeze, my body feels very uncomfortable.

"Well done, well done, the two generals are waiting for the emperor's reward!"

When he regained his composure, Dai Quan laughed loudly with excitement on his face: "The emperor is fighting with the ministers of the court over the matter of money!"

Jia Rong and Shi Ding smiled slightly and didn't answer. They had heard about what happened in the court hall, but they didn't intend to join in.

Still the same sentence, even if the one-whip law is really implemented, it has little to do with honorable families like them who are exempt from taxes.

The most important thing right now is to seize the opportunity of sea salt drying, smack face in front of the present, and stand in the core area of ​​power again.

"You two, I don't need to say anything else. You have to make a guarantee about the Yantian matter, and it's not a fraud!"

When the inspection was completely over, Dai Quan showed an inexplicable expression on his face, and said leisurely: "Otherwise, once the emperor orders the expansion, the expenses involved will definitely not be affordable by the two of you!"

He was used to courtiers' coquettish manipulations, so it's not too much to doubt.

After all, the experimental salt field is only tens of acres. Although the amount of sea salt produced is quite a lot, it can still be purchased privately, and the consequences will be serious if it is discovered...
