Chapter 29 Salt Making
When Guan Hai returned to Qingzhou with the imperial decree, Mu Yi was in Sparta.

He also began to wonder if he was really the Son of Destiny, just like the great magister Guangwu Liuxiu.

Originally, he just tried it with the mentality of being able to do something. Anyway, the gold and silver on hand could not be cashed out, so he simply used them to bribe people to see if he could get an official position.

However, a pole actually hit the jujube, and it was still a jujube against the sky.

Although things are very simple, there is only an imperial decree, a seal, and no salary, but after having this thing, Mu Yi has transformed from a traitor to an official.

He jumped directly from a bandit to Kong Rong's immediate boss.

But Mu Yi also knew that this thing could only be used as a facade, if he really used this thing to mess with Kong Rong, he might be beaten to death by Kong Rong.

The troops he has now cannot beat Kong Rong at all.

According to Mu Yi's understanding, Kong Rong in this world is not a powerless rookie, but a great Confucian with the same combat power as a fairy.

As the direct successor of the sage Kong, Kong Rong has a group of Confucian monks under his command, and even a Confucian corps with explosive combat power.

The realm of Confucianism is divided into the realm of self-cultivation, the realm of family harmony, the realm of governing the country, and the realm of great Confucianism.

Corresponding to the four realms of Taoism: practicing essence to transform qi, practicing qi to transform spirit, practicing spirit to return emptiness, and free and unfettered immortals.

Corresponding to the four realms of the warrior's side, the inner qi entering the body, the inner qi condensing, the inner qi forming a gang, and the inner qi leaving the body.

As for the counselors, there are only those with spiritual talent and those without spiritual talent.

In addition, there are a series of different systems such as the Mohist School, the Yin-Yang School, the Physician School, etc., but they all lead to the same goal in the end.

Inner qi detachment, free and unfettered immortals, great Confucianism, and counselors with spiritual talents, these existences belong to the same level.

However, their respective focuses are different, just like Ru Nei Qi Lian body focuses on war and killing, spiritual counselors focus on layout and planning, immortals focus on longevity, and great scholars focus on enlightenment.

Because of the emphasis on enlightenment, Kong Rong's Beihai city is almost full of Confucian scholars, and the strength of their unity cannot be ignored.

But Mu Yi is not in the mood to take care of Kong Rong's affairs now. His goal from the beginning was the three-acre land in Donglai County.

Although the official position of Qingzhou Mu was a bit unexpected, the effect that Mu Yi expected actually appeared.

The poor families and scholars who were originally shy away from Mu Yi swarmed towards Mu Yi like a swarm of bees after Mu Yi gave up the name of Qingzhou Mu and took out the seal ribbon and imperial decree.

The management problem that Mu Yi had had a headache was solved in an instant. The abilities of these scholars are not so outstanding, but they have built a complete framework for handling government affairs.

Now Mu Yi doesn't need to ask about the specific details, he just needs to come up with a general framework based on the downstream experience in history, and these scholars will naturally implement the specific details.

Because of this, Mu Yi finally broke away from the vortex of government affairs.

It's just that Mu Yi, who had escaped from the vortex, stepped into another vortex again.

The salt industry, which has been shelved for a long time, is finally about to start developing.

"General, according to your request, the soldiers have already dug a set of salt ponds!" Guan Cheng, who was in charge of leading the digging, said to Mu Yi Yili.

"Show me!" Mu Yi led the people to the beach, and looked at the independent pools dug about one mile away from the coast, with increasing depths.

Mu Yi checked one side and nodded with satisfaction.

The seaside salt production in this period basically used the salty soil on the seashore, and then absorbed and collected it with plant ash to make brine, and then boiled it.

The first few parts of the salt-making method that Mu Yi knew were no different from the ordinary seaside salt-making method, except that the last step was different. After all, boiling took a lot of manpower and time, and the salt produced was hard to describe.

His method is to mix the prepared brine with seawater to reach the maximum saturation of the salt, and then wash through layer after layer of salt pools. When the last salt pool is reached, the concentration of salt is increased to the maximum, and the salt can be obtained directly after drying. , and also avoided the problems of Haiyan itself, which can be called invincible.

For the sake of concealment and safety, Mu Yi dispatched all the trustworthy yellow scarves, and then sealed off the surrounding area to prevent anyone from prying eyes.

Even in order to delay the possibility of spreading this method as much as possible, Mu Yi separated these people according to the steps and achieved multiple levels of secrecy. Even if it is accidentally revealed, it will not hurt at all.

He didn't expect this thing to be kept secret for a lifetime, but at least in the early days, he kept it secret and used it to make money.

When a thick layer of salt crystals really appeared in the salt pond, Mu Yi couldn't help but get excited.

He can only say that reading more novels will really have a miraculous effect, and he can always know some useful knowledge.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. When salt crystals appeared in the first salt pond, Mu Yi immediately deployed manpower to expand production.

Then Mu Yi immediately found the person in charge of the Zhen family who stayed in Buqi County, that is, Zhen Si who had been cooperating all along.

The Zhen family has always focused on food, salt, and animal husbandry, and they also do other things, but these three are the most important.

So when Mu Yi appeared in front of Zhen Si with a large pile of refined salt, Zhen Si knew that their Zhen family was about to send out.

Although I don't know where Mu Yi got so much refined salt, but Mu Yi is willing to sell it to them at half the price, and even let them sell it on their behalf. This is simply a great joy.

He didn't want to ask Mu Yi where the salt came from, and he didn't dare to ask.

The current Mu Yi is not the bandit before, Qingzhou Mu, even if there are many problems, it is confusing.

But that is not something their Zhen family can touch porcelain at all, even if they are the four big businessmen, it is useless.

Businessmen are after profits, they just need to know that for the Zhen family, the benefits are beyond imagination, even enough to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

After Mu Yi sent away the happy Zhen Si, he sighed helplessly. He really didn't want to take advantage of the Zhen family. Sooner or later, the other party would follow Yuan Shao. Now the more the Zhen family earns, the more Yuan Shao will eat in the future , This kind of behavior is almost catching up with the enemy.

But Mu Yi couldn't help it. He didn't even have complete control over Donglai County. It was completely impossible to form his own caravan.

However, Mu Yi still organized a group of people to sell refined salt in several counties under his command, half selling and half giving it to all the people at a very low price.

It has to be said that in this era when ordinary people might still use salty stones, Mu Yi's low-priced refined salt really benefited the society.

After a wave of welfare, the people under his command finally contributed enough spiritual power, so that Mu Yi's talent finally accumulated enough capital to start.
