Xu Yukun had a good impression of Bai Dong, otherwise he would not have done anything to make 100,000 stones of grain. What is this concept? One hundred kilograms of stone, one hundred thousand stones means 10 million kilograms of grain. The disaster-stricken citizens of Lao Qin were about 400,000. Based on the consumption of 400,000 kilograms of grain per day, it can last for a month! If used in the military, it can support an army of 100,000 people to fight a war. This is truly a wealthy country, and it can be called a huge businessman with one person's strength!

However, with Xu Yukun's experience, no matter how much he likes Bai Dong's poems, he cannot give out half of the grain to help foreign countries. He still intends to make salt. However, he is very smart and does not propose it as a condition, and just waits for Bai Dong to mention it himself.

The people from Jingjian have long found a survey result. Qi's salt industry is now very embarrassing. On the one hand, it is unwilling to be pinched by the Wei people to be others' "suppliers", and on the other hand, it is worried that Pang Juan will launch a large-scale advance; now it has accumulated a large amount of salt, and it is not right to sell it, nor is it not right to sell it. It is definitely welcome to sell it at a low price, but it will be plundered by the Wei people who mastered the fine salt method. Raising prices will anger the Wei people and will also lead to a sharp reduction in sales. Official salt is naturally not afraid of being backed by the state, and it will make these salt merchants suffer, and even Xu Yukun is helpless.

This is not the most difficult thing to accept. What makes the Qi salt community most indignant is that since the appearance of Wei's fine salt, even the nobles of Qi have gradually become unable to live without this fine salt. After eating good things, they will eat bad things. This kind of pain is worse than death.

Xu Yukun has many masters who cook salt, but they are also limited by historical limitations and inertial thinking. They will also see water vapor evaporate, but they will not think that this is a manifestation of liquid vaporization. They will see river water freezing in winter. But they will only think that this is a natural thing. They will not think that this is a manifestation of liquid solidification. With such a way of thinking, how can it suddenly open up and think of chemically extracting refined salt?

In fact, Xu Yukun has been paying attention to Bai Dong for a long time. The young master was only thinking that Xu Gong despises Lao Qin and it is difficult to see him easily. In fact, if Bai Dong comes to visit, Xu Yuan promises to open his door as soon as possible. Winning Cuju and writing new poems is just the icing on the cake.

"I know what Mr. Yukun is thinking, but I'm afraid you will disappoint. Lao Qin and Wei jointly attacked Yiqiu on the same day, and used the fine salt method to exchange for military resources. The two countries had a long agreement that if Lao Qin leaked the fine salt method, Wei would spread all the troops to attack Qin. At that time, the army was famous, and no other country could support him. If Dong leaked today, it would have harmed Lao Qin. It also harmed Baijiazhuang and my family..."

Bai Dong shook his head with a smile. If he was just to reveal the method of making salt, he would not have to come to see Xu Gong. Today's China is not the unified China in later generations. Twenty countries in the world, gold is not a real hard currency. The copper coins used by each country are even different in shape. Although grain is important, it can grow everywhere and cannot grow rice and wheat. Then I will plant chestnut rice, which will not starve to death. Only salt is something that affects the world. The salt of Qi is half the world. What an advantage? However, the people of Qi have only mastered such a great advantage, but they have only been powerful in history for decades and were soon Chaoyue by Qin Zhao in the late Warring States Period. This is really stupider than a pig!

Xu Yukun smiled and nodded, waved his hand gently, and the beautiful men and women in the pavilion retreated one after another, leaving only one Li Niang not leaving. Bai Dong glanced at Li Niang, but turned around and said to the young master Yin Qi: "Although the matter I discussed with Yukun Gong will not harm Qi, it cannot be known to outsiders. The young master is afraid of many inconveniences after hearing this..."

"I understand, I'll go."

The young master nodded and turned around and left. He was famous for not doing his job in Qi, but was chosen by Tian Wu as the crown prince. He was attracted by him because he was determined in the face of affairs and was able to do good deeds. The facts also proved that Tian Wu was not wrong.

Li Niang smiled and said, "The prince can't listen, and Li Niang is afraid she won't be able to stay. Yukun, I'll go and see what the peach blossom wine brewed last month. After you finish your words, warm up and bring it to Bai Zi to taste it." After that, he also went there, and only Xu Yukun and Bai Dong were left in the pavilion. The most handsome man in Qi squeezed his eyes at Bai Dong and lowered his voice and said, "Bai Zi can say it? Ruoshi knows that you must have a good idea. Can you harm the Wei Kingdom and help my Xu Family Trading Company?"

"My method will take at least half a year, and there will be a lot of investment in the early stage. Maybe you and I will have to pay some money first... In the end, it will ruin the Wei Kingdom, but it will also lead to a battle between Qi and Wei, but in the end it will benefit the world, especially you and I will benefit. Will the Yukun Guild mind, dare to take risks?"

"Bai Ziguo is a master. Ruoshi always sighed that Qi is rich but not strong. If he wants to dominate the world, he will inevitably fight with Wei. Have you even guessed my intentions?"

"I didn't rely on guessing."

"Hehe, of course, if you rely on guessing, it will be called Baizi in vain. Such a grand event will naturally include Ruoshi. How should my Xu Family Trading Company cooperate with you and how to make arrangements? Baizi can now say it?"

"How much salt you have in your hands, how many salt fields in Qi State have you controlled..."

......

Except for Bai Dong and Xu Yukun, no one knew what the specific content was in this secret conversation. Even Li Niang, who was closest to Xu Yukun, didn't know. She didn't ask her cousin when she saw her cousin. She was very clever and didn't ask her. The young master asked Bai Dong once, but was taken to the piano by Bai Dong and said that she didn't understand the rhythm. She was really sorry, so she would ask him more questions if she had time.

Young Master Yinqi agreed happily, but when he looked back, he felt very strange. How did Brother Bai get around his problem and get on the piano? This is really strange.

Only by returning with a full load describe Bai Dong's entry into the entire family this time.

After entering the palace and bid farewell to Ying Shu, the team of sending off the brides began to travel. Master Meng and several scholars wrote poems at Shili Pavilion. In just a few days, the new poetry style invented by Bai Dong had become popular in most of Qi and was spreading rapidly. After all, it was a great man. Meng Ke's poems at this moment were no less than those of the new poetry masters in later generations. Although he could not write a good sentence like "Please give me a glass of wine and go to Yangguan without a friend in the west", it was already considered to be strict. Bai Dong thanked again and again, but he was still filled with a few wines before he could get on the road. The autumn wind blew on his face. He felt that the wine was rising. Looking at Lao Qin, he really moved the wanderer's mind to return home.

Several gray-backed falcons were released the day before yesterday. They went to Qin Palace, Baijiazhuang, and Lantian. Among them were notified of their family's return, and some books asking about Mo Shin's specialty. The biggest good news was the letter from Lihua Palace. One hundred thousand stones of food was enough to make Lao Ying return. Bai Dong was even worried that he would be excited to pass by. With this food, Lao Qin could finally survive this natural disaster.

Qiu Feng proudly urged the horse's hooves, and the man left. The moment the bride-sending carriage left Linzi, Ying Shu climbed up to the highest pavilion of the Gongzi Mansion, and watched the familiar carriage slowly move west from afar. The crazy little princess had never passed by like today. She waved her hand and said goodbye to the man seriously, shed tears seriously, and sang a Qin song... Qin song has a lot of collections, this song is the most lingering tune, and it will only be sung when bidding farewell to her lover.

"Bastard! Will you come to Linzi to see me? Without this princess by your side, what should you do if you are itchy? No one is willing to tie you up and whip you. It's so pitiful..."

In her opinion, this is the most tragic thing in the world.

***

Early in the morning, Lantian County became boiling. Men, women, young and old carried bamboo baskets or pockets and came to the Baijia loose grain to collect the food for the month. When they returned home happily, wisps of smoke from cooking will rise in Lantian County, and the county magistrate will climb up the city wall and point at the smoke from cooking. I am so happy that I can't stop talking about it all day.

Food is the most important thing for the people! This is an irrefutable truth in any era. With food, the people will be stable and will not rebel! The country will not be in turmoil, and the head of a county can happily hug his wife and get out of bed.

The sound of yelling sounds on the dry plateau? The subordinates sent by Bai Zuogeng are really hard to understand. Just divide the grain, so why did you come up with the method of using "white soil" to exchange for grain? Lantian has this thing. If I had known that the Bai family would like it, I would have got you 108,000 stones. Why are Lantian worried about it?

The county magistrate became more and more curious as he thought about it. He subconsciously walked down the city and got into a carriage and headed straight for the dry plateau. The people from the Bai family built two large fire kilns here, which were very different from the common pottery kilns. They didn't know what to do. It is said that there was a madman named Mo Shing who would stand in front of the fire kilns all day and go crazy. He was almost roasted to become a man and made his wife cry every day and refuse to stop for a day.

No one can use white soil to burn pottery. This thing is actually the "kaolin" of later generations, and it is also the "Guanyin soil" that can hold you hungry in the year of great disasters. If you cannot master the temperature in the kiln well, it is easy to fail in firing. Even if you accidentally find the right temperature, there is no strong kiln and the recipe for making porcelain in later generations. This kind of soil-growing grain is difficult to produce high yields and is almost useless. Now it has become a treasure in the eyes of the Bai family. It would be strange if the county magistrate is not curious.

The "Porcelain Kiln" that has been demolished and built three times has finally passed the certification of ink lines. Now a porcelain production workshop has been formed near the kiln, with all kinds of strange-shaped tools. Various common bottles and jars can be quickly formed after turning on the wooden rotor, and then placed aside to dry and set.

The raw materials are from kaolin and white ying stone. The kaolin produced by the Lantian people will be sent to the step-shaped filter pool on the hillside. After mixing evenly, it will be washed to the next pool by mountain spring water. After the natural settlement of several pools, the impurities in the kaolin will flow to the bottom of the pool. Only the most delicate soil will enter the last pool. After being fished out by a special person, the water will be removed, and the powdered white ying stone will be added in proportion to the ratio, which is the best porcelain material.

Mo Shi had already lost a whole circle when he first came to Lantian. He was as black as a snail that had just popped out of the Bagua furnace. His eyes were red, which was a sequelae of the long-term fire refining in front of the kiln. However, Mu Zhuobei's eyes were redder than him. Half a month ago, she was crying and advised her husband that we should stop doing it. Bai Zuo was even a good person, but what he told him was to burn people alive! As a result, Mo Shi's eyes were so angry that he was already crazy because this was his only chance. He wanted to become the best "huo Master" in the Bai family and to let the head of the Gongshu family look at him differently! Isn't people just to fight for this tone when they are alive?

"The gui is thirty, the beans are thirty, the thirty guillotine is thirty, the thirty guillotine is thirty, the square guillotine is thirty, the ear cup is thirty, the new type of large vertical bottle is thirty, and the total number of 210 embryos is 210. It has been placed in the most suitable position according to the requirements of Motouer. There are piles of firewood and loose firewood. The fire road is connected smoothly. The fire outlet has been inspected and the air outlet has been cleaned. Please raise the fire!"

Several Bai family craftsmen quickly checked and reported the results one by one, and at the same time sent the burning torch to Mo Shin's hand.

Mo Shi's facial muscles twitched slightly. The dozen or so scattered pellets that were burned yesterday were almost successful. Although they had not met Mr. Bai's requirements, Du Zhi looked at it and said that it had exceeded Chu Di Jingcao and was worth a lot of money. He didn't say anything at that time, and picked up the dozen or so "half-chip" and fell directly. Du Zhi was so distressed that he jumped straight away.

There is a difference between scattered firing and this whole kiln firing. I have tried it countless times before, but I have not succeeded once. To become a qualified master of Huo, he must pass this level.

"Will this time succeed?" Mo Shi gritted his teeth. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
