I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs

  Chapter 167 Salt collection to Quanjufang

  Shen Liqing expressed his opinion.

   "At this time, the salt in the city must be centrally controlled, and each household should be distributed regularly and quantitatively. Generally speaking, rich households in the city should have surplus salt at home, and restaurants and restaurants should have more salt, which can be collected for emergency."

   This can be regarded as a solution, Ying Zhexun is only worried that those rich families are often connected with officials, "Then what if those people don't want to?"

  Shen Liqing smiled calmly, and Feng Nu's talent was even more obvious, "My lord, are the state soldiers and government soldiers in your hands just for display? If there is any resistance, kill! No pardon!"

   In just a few words, he expressed the spirit of killing. Ying Zhexun looked at Shen Liqing, and felt even more that the legend might be true, and such a woman might only be worthy of a real emperor. The third child, it seems that he is not qualified!

   "Just follow Li Qing's plan. It's just that when the salt in the city is used up, the salt relief from the court has not yet arrived, so what should I do?"

  Shen Liqing got up, saluted with crossed hands, and solemnly said: "Borrow the prince, and allow me to temporarily dispatch the right. After three days, the salt has not arrived yet, so I will go to the surrounding Gancheng to borrow salt."

   Strategizing, Ying Zhexun felt that Shen Liqing deserved these four words. "Okay, you can take it." Ying Zhexun took off the jade pendant from his waist. With the power of the prince, the jade pendant is engraved with the red bird, which is second only to the emperor's mysterious bird.

  Shen Liqing was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something, "There is a genius in the academy named Zhe Yu, the prince has a heavy responsibility to entrust him to do, and he will definitely live up to the prince's entrustment."

   "Okay, okay, recommended by Li Qing, naturally..." Ying Zhexun's pupils contracted sharply, isn't Zhe Yu the one who claimed to purify the poisonous salt in front of the square of the Office of Salt Management?

   Is it him?

  **

  After Shen Liqing left, notices were posted everywhere in Wanzhou City, asking the government to collect salt from the people for urgent use. Once the crisis is over, the people who contributed salt will be double compensated.

  Whoever has salt in their house mourns endlessly; but whoever has no salt in their house thinks they will see the light of day. Most shopkeepers of restaurants and restaurants dare not speak out. But there were also conflicts with the government state soldiers.

   While collecting private salt from the people, at the same time setting up salt points to distribute. Some people went to get the salt, but they only got a small pinch, and they were afraid that it would be gone after two meals, which was another resentment.

  **

  The golf course of the red yeast rice is still being fertilized.

  On the outskirts of the venue, a chef set up a large pot to cook thick porridge. The chef raised his arms and sprinkled the "homemade magic salt" brought by red yeast rice into it. Soon, there was an aroma.

   When it’s meal time, red yeast rice is used as a stove to serve porridge, and the laborers line up to get the porridge in order. Everyone laughed and called her "the porridge beauty."

  One of the part-time workers came to line up again after sharing a big bowl, like this three times. Not only that, he also jumped in line, which made the teammates around him very dissatisfied.

   Zhen first floor found that he did not eat, but hid the porridge in a small jar.

   "Each person only has one share, you take more and take more, don't follow the rules, just leave after paying your wages today." The first floor really went crazy.

   All the short-term workers who have been here for many days know that this guy named Zhenyi looks like he doesn't care about things, but he is actually a type of person who doesn't talk too much. Anyone who had fantasies about red music before was beaten into a pig's head by him, and they couldn't find Bei.

  He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, knocking his head on the ground with a bang. "Forgive me, the real manager and the real young man. I have children in my family. They all said that the porridge provided by the stadium is delicious. They haven't eaten salt for several days!"

   After all, it is all caused by salt.

  Hongqu walked over, Yu couldn't bear it. "How about this, you bring your family over tomorrow, if you want to eat salt, you have to show your skills, let me see the use, I don't support idlers here."

   "Thank you, porridge beauty, thank you, porridge beauty?!"

   Hearing what she said, more laborers gathered around, knelt in a circle and surrounded Hongqu. "Sweet porridge beauty, please show mercy, my family has young and old, can I come to work on the court?"

   Hongqu goes to help people. Although she is kind, she still knows that her manpower is exhausted. The final decision on these salts is still in the hands of Baicaoshi. "All my remaining salt is almost used up, so get up quickly."

  Finally, Hongqu decided to go back and discuss with Baicaoshi.

  **

  Kunming Academy is closed.

  The reason is that there is no more salt in the cafeteria. In order to save everyone’s consumption of salt, reduce everyone’s activity accordingly.

   Some students returned home during the holidays, and some sent letters, using family relationships to try to seek benefits in this salt shortage.

  Of course, some people found that Quanjufang is still open, and a new menu has been launched, and the food tastes better than before. So these students are about to live in Quanjufang.

  **

  Zhe Yu and Baicaoshi were not idle either, they were flipping through ancient books.

  Zhe Yu found a way with the help of Baicaoshi, which required a material, limestone.

  According to the ancient method, dissolve salt in water, then take limestone and heat it with charcoal fire to form quicklime. Quicklime is added to water to form milk of lime. Add saturated lime milk to the water in which the poisonous salt is dissolved, the impurities will be precipitated, and then filtered.

  The filtered salt is also inedible and needs to be dried. Impurities appear again, then dried, and finally distilled. The process is extremely cumbersome.

   "I'll ask the academy if the master who teaches Mohism has any limestone." Zhe Yu said.

   Mohism is an extremely small subject in the academy. There is only one master, and there are almost no candidates for the courses.

  However, Master once conducted an experiment of small hole imaging, which caused a sensation in the academy at that time, so Dean Ji Xuan retained this subject.

  Baicaoshi understands, this is probably equivalent to a combination of physics and chemistry. "Let me go with you, I want to meet such a strange person too."

  Zhe Yu stared at Baicaoshi's red eyes from staying up late, subconsciously raised his hand, and scratched her nose. "You rest for a while, I will invite the master to show you."

  Baicaoshi touched her nose, how could she feel that Zhe Yu was making more and more small movements. She used to flick her brain and collapsed, but now she scratches her nose, and there is a mouth under the nose. She imagined Zhe Yu tilting her head, approaching her, and getting closer. She was shocked, and her face was already hot.

  What about the sky, it’s blue and daylight, what is she thinking?

"what's on your mind?"

   It was really a tacit understanding, what he asked was what she thought.

   "It's nothing. I'm happy, maybe we will succeed in purifying the salt. Let's go and ask the master."

  Zhe Yu: "..."

   What she just said was in vain, she didn't listen at all.

   The two of them walked towards the back office of the academy, first asking where the master lived. At this time, I saw the concierge elder brother running over. "Miss Bai, Mr. Bai, there is a girl named Sanqi looking for you outside."

  At this time, Sanqi is not in Quanjufang, what’s the rush here?

   "I'll go and have a look." Baicaoshi said to Zhe Yu.

   "I'll be with you."

   Together, the two arrived at the gate of the academy.

   "Sister Shishi, the government has come to collect salt, and they have brought several soldiers to search for our salt. My brother is stopping them."
