Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 769
In fact, he only asked this question after a long period of investigation.

"The Marquis is right, King Jiangdu's farm properties have indeed been recovered. Moreover, these farms are temporarily returned to the inner treasury. Only after the next lord garrisoned in Yangzhou is born, will those farms be sealed off! " Jiawu said.

After Jiawu finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

The whole person became alert. He looked around first and saw that there were only two of them in the house and the doors and windows were closed, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he gradually moved closer to Zhu Xiuyuan.

There was a mysterious look on his face, with a hint of temptation and a sinister smile of "you know".

Zhu Xiuyuan sat on the chair, and when he saw Jiawu behaving like this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He subconsciously shrank back, his back pressed against the back of the chair.

From Zhu Xiuyuan's perspective, Jiawu's face was backlit and looked darker.The dim light and his evil smile made Zhu Xiuyuan feel uncomfortable.

It's like you are walking on the street in a glamorous way, and suddenly a beggar appears. The stench is overwhelming, and there are bugs crawling on your clothes...

If such a beggar suddenly approaches you, most people will probably step back subconsciously.

Now, Zhu Xiuyuan is in such a situation.

The Jiawu at this moment appears insidious and treacherous, philistine and ugly.

Just getting so close was like a beggar covered in bugs!

Zhu Xiuyuan was very unhappy.

However, at that moment, Zhu Xiuyuan roughly understood that this was probably the true face of Jiawu.

His true nature has been exposed!

After all, the position of "eunuch of the inner treasury" is very rich in oil and water, and it is also a big dyeing vat.

In this Jiawu period, since he was more than ten years old, he has been a eunuch in the inner treasury, and he is afraid that he will be seriously "ill".

"The Marquis has a unique vision. Those farms are all the best choices. If the Marquis likes them, let us know. Our family is [-]% sure that all the best-selected farms will be rewarded. Give it to the Marquis!"

When Zhu Xiuyuan was thinking wildly, Jiawu spoke.

The voice was very soft, very quiet.

In addition, he had a mysterious, probing, and evil smile on his face.

This kind of scene always makes Zhu Xiuyuan feel like he is "participating in a conspiracy".

"Eunuch A, you are so polite. The reason why I asked about this matter is not because I want those farms. I appreciate Eunuch A's kindness. Haha, please sit down, Eunuch."

Zhu Xiuyuan chuckled lightly and kept the Sino-Japanese War's conspiracy at bay.

To be honest, no matter how good the farm is, Zhu Xiuyuan still looks down on it.

How much output can be produced in a year?
I'm afraid it's less than a fraction of Dong Yulou's daily income.

"Oh...hehe...but our family is too abrupt, hehehe..."

Jiawu was a little embarrassing.

However, he immediately covered up his embarrassment and sat down next to Zhu Xiuyuan as if nothing happened. There was a small coffee table between them.

"Eunuch A, I have secretly sent people to investigate. If you want to boil large quantities of refined salt, the best place is along the coast of Huaiyang!"

Zhu Xiuyuan got to the point directly.

"Oh, there is such a thing!" Jiawu exclaimed.

"Among them, [-]% of the best coastal areas coincide with King Jiangdu's Zhuangzi!" Zhu Xiuyuan added.

"That's it, haha, please don't worry, Lord Marquis! The land deeds of those farms are in my inner treasure house. When we turn around, our family will find an opportunity to report this matter to the imperial concubine, and those farms will not be touched again. Come down here for the Marquis to boil salt!"

Jiawu smiled.

"Thank you very much, father-in-law!" Zhu Xiuyuan handed over his hand. "Oh, Lord Hou is polite, you are polite! This is just a trivial matter, a little effort, a little effort!" Jiawu hurriedly returned the salute, extremely courteous.

"By the way, Lord Hou said just now that [-]% of the best land coincides with King Jiangdu's Zhuangzi, what about the other [-]%? Can you tell me in detail, after our family sends someone to buy the [-]% of the land? Come down." Jiawu said.

At this moment, the two of them got the map.

Zhu Xiuyuan's fingers drew dots on the map, pointing out in detail the specific areas where the remaining [-]% ​​of the lot was.

If you want to produce refined salt in large quantities, the first stage, the step of extracting coarse salt from seawater, naturally cannot use the boiling method.

This is too slow, time-consuming and laborious.

Zhu Xiuyuan plans to find out the salt field method.

Directly use salt fields to dry the seawater into coarse salt.

The salt field method is suitable for mass production!
And as far as Zhu Xiuyuan knows, today, all coarse salt obtained from sea water is boiled.

The salt field method never appeared!
Looking at the four sea salt production areas in ancient times, they are the "Changlu Salt Area", "Liaodong Bay Salt Area", "Laizhou Bay Salt Area" and "Huai Salt Area", which are the most famous.

The Huai salt production area starts from Donghai County, Haizhou, Henan Province, Yan State, and ends at Huduzhou, Hai'an County, Yangzhou, Chen State, which is the mouth of the Yangtze River.

There are many places in this long coastal area that are suitable for developing salt fields.

Coincidentally, those areas suitable for developing salt fields almost all overlap with King Jiangdu's farm...

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. Our family will send someone to handle this matter immediately. The results will be available within a day or two at the earliest. Once the matter is completed, our family will send someone to notify Lord Marquis!"

In the Jiawu period, I pledged my bosom and promised everything.

"Okay, thank you so much, Eunuch A!" Zhu Xiuyuan stood up and cupped his hands.

Now that the matter was settled, Zhu Xiuyuan stood up and left.

In the Shenleihou Mansion, Dong Cheng and the others were still waiting for him to go back and hold the "exorcism" ceremony.

"Master Hou, go slowly..."

Jiawu was very polite and sent him out of Chengtianmen personally.

After Zhu Xiuyuan's carriage had gone far away, Jiawu turned back. He thought for a while, walked straight through the Meridian Gate, went straight into the palace, found the eunuch beside Concubine You, and asked for permission.

Soon, Jiawu met Concubine You.

After the ceremony, Jiawu told Zhu Xiuyuan everything he had just discussed.

That is to say, "the king's farm in Jiangdu was intercepted for the purpose of drying salt".

Of course, he automatically ignored the matter of bribing Zhu Xiuyuan and sending it to the farm.

"Well, this matter is not difficult. When I turn around, I will just tell His Majesty. It's just a farm of a few hundred acres..." Concubine You nodded and took the initiative to take over the matter.

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine!" Jiawu bowed down.

It would be best if Concubine You went to tell Emperor Chen personally about this matter.

"Okay, you go down and finish what Zhu Aiqing mentioned as soon as possible. Don't slack off!" Concubine You waved her hand.

"Old slave obeys, old slave leaves!" Jia Wu bowed and retreated.

"Wait a minute!" Concubine You's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Your Majesty, my old slave is here." Jiawu turned back immediately.

"I have to remind you that Zhu Aiqing is not an ordinary person. Since he entered the court, all the heads that fell to the ground are related to him!"
