Chapter 881 Sea Salt

"Salt, sea salt, lots of sea salt!"

Shi Ding was dressed in a smart outfit, holding rough sea salt in his hands, with an excited look on his face, and laughed loudly: "As expected by Brother Rong, the method of drying sea salt is indeed simple, and the amount of salt produced is also very impressive!

"

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

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

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

Jia Rong chuckled, but did not show any excitement. He reminded leisurely: "The experiment is successful, but 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: "Just from these experimental salt fields, the amount of sea salt produced is quite astonishing, and it is still being produced continuously. It is definitely a cornucopia!"

"Master Marquis, you can take advantage of the situation to make some small profits, but don't try to take advantage of the salt fields. Neither you nor the Shi family can afford it!"

As if she noticed something, Jia Rong narrowed her eyes slightly and reminded with a chuckle: "Just take full credit and don't think too much about other things!"

"this……"

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

Gee, this is the noble nature.

I don't consider my own situation at all, I just want to take a big bite when I see the benefits.

However, at this time, historians simply did not have the strength to participate in Haiyan's amazing interests.

Jia Rong did not continue to persuade. He and Shi Ding were not familiar with each other and could only be regarded as a strong alliance of interests.

If Shi Ding really had other ideas, he would not have any mood swings.

But if something unexpected happens in the future, don't expect him to help.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's up to oneself to do it.

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

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

When he said this, Shi Ding had a solemn look on his face, and everyone who saw it felt that what he said was reliable.

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

"Let the brothers keep a close eye on the salt fields and don't let outsiders see the clues!"

He chuckled and said: "After I report back to Your Majesty, someone will naturally come over to investigate the situation carefully, and the credit will be indispensable by then!"

An excited look suddenly appeared on Shi Ding's face, and he said loudly: "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 nothing that could be done about it.

Once the news about Shi Ding's experimental salt field leaks out, the pressure that may be encountered will be so great that it can be said that it is overwhelming.

What's more, I'm afraid there will be a surprise attack by unknown armed men.

At that time, fishing villages with a radius of dozens of miles will be in trouble. How can those who do bad things leave hidden dangers for themselves?

Don't think he is being alarmist. How many people's interests will be affected once the salt fields are released?

It even includes relatives of the emperor and the princes and grandsons. It is estimated that even today, they would not come into contact with such a power head-on.

When that time comes, it will be 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 did not explain these situations carefully to Shi Ding, but he should be aware of it.

Otherwise, how could this man, who holds the command of 3,000 men and is an elder of Jia Rong, be honest and obedient without any discounts?

Don’t you want to share the risk and stress?

This is good to avoid additional accidents.

If three thousand men and horses are commanded properly, it will not be a problem to protect the secrets of dozens of acres of salt fields for a long time.

After leaving, Jia Rong immediately handed Jin Jin a secret message.

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

The next day, Dai Quan took the initiative to come to the door.

"My father-in-law came really quickly!"

Jia Rong received the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty in Ning'an Hall.

"It won't work if you don't hurry up. Your Majesty is pressing hard!"

Dai Quan waved his hand and said: "Don't bring out those vain things, let's set off immediately!"

Looking at his impatient attitude, 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 just went with the flow and took the people immediately to leave the capital and go to the remote coast of Jinmen.

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

It has only been a few days, and the weather has been sunny.

Half of the salt fields on the beach are covered with white sea salt.

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

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

Moreover, the detailed process of drying sea salt was also inquired very carefully, and any places that might have been missed were even recorded directly with pen and paper.

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

If there is any negligence and the minister of the Ming Dynasty 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 and felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

Even if it is a sunny day, I am not used to the environment of sea breeze. After a day of sea breeze, my body is very uncomfortable.

"Well done, well done, the two generals will be waiting for your great reward!"

After he regained consciousness, Dai Quan laughed loudly with excitement on his face: "The emperor is fighting with the ministers over the money!"

Jia Rong and Shi Ding smiled slightly and did not answer. Of course they had heard about what happened in the court, but they had no intention of getting involved.

Again, even if a whipping law is really implemented, it will have little to do with noble families like them who are exempt from taxes.

The most important thing right now is to seize the opportunity of sea salt drying, clean up your face in today's world, and re-establish yourself in the core area of ​​power.

"Two of you, there's not much else to say. You have to make a guarantee about the Yantian matter, and you won't be deceitful!"

When the inspection was completely completed, Dai Quan showed an inexplicable look on his face and said leisurely: "Otherwise, once the emperor orders the expansion of the scale, the cost will definitely not be affordable by your family!"

He was used to the courtiers' rude behavior, so it was not an exaggeration to doubt him.

After all, the experimental salt field is only a few dozen acres. Although the amount of sea salt produced is quite large, it can be purchased privately and concealed. Once discovered, the consequences will be serious...
