Chapter 009 Refined Salt

Wei Xuan properly showed his knowledge of military affairs, and then seemed to be involved in business and some inventions. And Wei Su called everyone here today, maybe he was trying to build momentum for Wei Xuan again?

Sure enough, after Wei Zheng also experienced a Taishi chair, Wei Su sat back on the Taishi chair and smiled at everyone: "A few days ago, everyone knew that Zhongdao mentioned to me a plan to increase the number of security guards in the house. At that time, it was too expensive.

The scale was reduced a bit, and he and Ji Ping ended up building a furniture factory. I called you here today because I want to talk to you about refined salt. Zhongdao, tell us about it and how you planned it.

How long does it take and how many manpower are needed..."

The three of them were stunned again. The Wei family could become a powerful family because of the protection of their ancestors, but they could still stand firm, especially with the current status of the Wei family and the fact that the Wei family controls a large town thirty miles south of Xinnan, Anyi County.

The salt ponds are inseparable! Mining and selling salt are huge profits. What does Wei Xuan think?

In the expectation of several people, Wei Xuan briefly talked about the process and estimated cost of refined salt. After a brief talk, the eyes of several people present lit up. If it is as simple as Wei Xuan said, then the Wei family must

Create it as soon as possible and keep it strictly confidential.

Wei Zheng glanced at his father, then stood up from the kneeling mat and cupped his hands towards Wei Su, then looked at his father and then said to Wei Xuan: "From father, father, Zhongdao, uncle Dashang."

It will take some time to return. Ji Ping is working on furniture now, so let me do the refined salt?"

Although Wei Zheng was asking for the opinions of the three people, he kept looking at Wei Xuan. He knew that the two old people only needed to make refined salt, and the person in charge only needed to be a core member of the Wei family. In fact, even other branches of the Wei family

There is no problem if the younger generation takes charge.

People in this era have strict hierarchies and clear priorities. Of course, Wei Zheng wanted to make more contributions to the Wei family so that his next generation would not gradually be sidelined.

Wei Xuan did not expect this to happen. After the coarse salt is refined, the transportation cost will drop a lot, and the taste will definitely be much better. There will definitely be no worries about sales. In fact, the most suitable candidate is naturally Wei He. He is a eldest son but a concubine.

The special status is really suitable. There is no need to worry about the clan members saying that the eldest brother suppressed the second brother and deliberately let the second brother run a lowly business.

However, his father did not let Wei He come today, and Wei Xuan could not selfishly only fight for the interests of his younger brother, so he looked at his smiling father, then at his smiling uncle, and then at Wei Ning, who served in the prefect's mansion.

Wei Xuan felt that if the Wei family wanted to protect themselves in the coming great turmoil, in addition to those who were already serving as officials, such as Wei Zhi and Wei Ning, they needed to continue to provide space for the Wei family, and they also needed Wei Tong so that they could fight now and fight in the future.

people.

It's just that Wei Tong seems to be a little missing. In Wei Xuan's memory, although his younger brother is not as studious as his two elder brothers in the family, he is extremely smart. He understands people's hearts better than Wei He and is good at guessing and analyzing. If he works harder,

With the guidance of an expert, he can become a talent in charge of the future strategy of the Wei family. It is really unfair to ask him to make refined salt!

But Wei Xuan didn't know Wei Zheng's inner sense of crisis. Wen had two brothers plus Wei Xuan, Wu had Wei Tong, and Shang had Wei He. If he didn't make achievements in agriculture, industry and commerce, he would be dispensable in the Wei family.

The existence of refined salt is different from new furniture. New furniture mainly focuses on marketing. Wei Zheng believes that the future of refined salt will mainly focus on manufacturing technology and cost control. As long as the refined salt produced is more delicious than now, it will not worry about sales.

The three people who were supposed to express their opinions all looked at Wei Xuan with smiles, while Wei Zheng looked expectantly, like a child looking at an adult holding a lollipop in his hand.

Wei Xuan sighed: "Brother, if you are interested, I will come down and write down a simple process for you. Then we will find an opportunity to go to the salt pond together. We will come back when we have made satisfactory refined salt! From now on, you only need to

Just go to the salt pond once in a while and have a look. For the specific matters, let’s find someone else to do it.”

Uncle Wei Le was a little pleased at first, then waved his hand and said, "Zhongdao, your wedding is a major event for the Wei family, how can you live in Yanchi forever? No, no."

Wei Zheng looked nervously at Wei Xuan and then at his father, fearing that something unexpected might happen to this accomplished mission, then he heard Wei Xuan say: "Uncle, you overestimate the complexity of the refined salt, and underestimate your brother. Don't worry.

When the time is decided, we will definitely find a way to produce refined salt as soon as possible. I also want to wait to use it on the wedding."

The three people who had the same worries, Wei Xuan, were so confident that they didn't say anything more. The matter was settled like this. Wei Xuan was responsible for technical guidance, and Wei Zheng was responsible for the subsequent refined salt.

This was originally an ordinary meeting between the core members of the Wei family, but soon Wei He got the news, and ran out of breath to Wei Xuan's yard and asked with a flushed face, "Second brother, aren't you in many places?"

Did you praise me for being good at business, why did you leave the refined salt matter to Wei Zheng in the blink of an eye?"

Wei Xuan's face imitated Wei Su's and he said: "Wei Jiping, the fourth brother is your elder brother, the son of your uncle, your lord's eldest son, not an outsider! What do you want to do by naming me like this?"

Wei Xuan knew that this boy had been very proud of the furniture recently, but he had even forgotten his ranking in the family. Although he was not a biological brother, according to his father's explanation, Wei Zheng ranked fourth among the core children of the Wei family, so he was the fourth in the family.

When other family members are present, they are usually called the fourth brother, and Wei Xuan becomes the eleventh brother. Wei Xuan is worried that this guy will not respect Wei Zheng in front of him. When he comes to his aunt, he is afraid that he will be directly called Wei Zheng.

Xuan or Wei Er.

Wei He was shocked when his brother turned against him. In the Wei family, his status was actually the same as Wei Zheng's, or even inferior to Wei Zheng's. But Wei Xuan told him that there would be many imitators of furniture in the future.

Competition requires constant renovation, and new furniture is different from refined salt. The latter is a necessity. Food, clothing, housing, and transportation come second, or even first for many poor people. This market will naturally become more important.

But he did not dare to go to his father Wei Su, so he could only complain to Wei Xuan.

"You make the furniture first. I have a better project here than refined salt. As long as you show enough ability, I wonder if I will still have to rely on you to do this in the future?"

"Seriously, second brother, tell me what they are?"

"You can just make furniture with peace of mind and wait until the time is right."

Wei He felt better and Xu Duo suddenly raised his face and asked curiously: "Second brother, how did you learn this? Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"

"Well. When I went to Luoyang with Master Zheng for a study tour and passed by Hongnong, I stayed in a Taoist temple. Strangely enough, no one else did anything that night, but I seemed to have caught a cold, and I was in a daze on the road.

I had a fever for a few days, and those days were filled with nightmares. Master Zheng was worried that I wouldn’t be able to reach Luoyang. It was during those few days that someone seemed to tell me some random things in my dreams, and I didn’t care at the time.

Later, I slowly sorted it out and thought of the Grand Master's chair that appeared in my dream."

"Second brother, are you saying that these strange skills of yours were taught to you by Taishang Laojun?" Wei He immediately filled in the details and directly regarded Wei Xuan as Taishang Laojun's disciple.

Wei Xuan shook his head but said nothing. Of course he couldn't admit that he was a disciple of a high family, the son-in-law of the contemporary great scholar Cai Yong, and the disciple of the great great scholar Zheng Xuan. Such a Confucian upstart needs to rely on the Supreme Lord for guidance?

But in order to cover up his identity as a time traveler, he also needs something vague, and let others use their imagination. As for Wei Xuan and Wei He, they said that there will be many projects in the future, and they are not happy. Due to the limitations of the times, many things cannot be accommodated, but many are still

Things that can be explored, such as paper making, soy sauce, distilled liquor...

Why did Wei Xuan come here to use Taishang Laojun to teach him some strange skills? Zuo Ci also tried hard to persuade Tong Yuan to stay in the Wei family. His method led Tong Yuan to watch the stars at night. Although Tong Yuan was better than Zuo Ci,

Ci was much older, but he was also dubious about what the alchemists called celestial phenomena and divination. But this time Zuo Ci pulled him over from Betty, Tong Yuan was touched in his heart.

: "Xiong Fuxiong, look at that is the Ziwei star, which represents the current day. Look at the one in the northeast that is Po Jun, the one in the south that is Greedy Wolf, and the one in the northwest that is closer to Ziwei star is Qisha. Taibai enters

Yue, Greedy Wolf enters the fire, and Seven Kills takes the lead. This is a typical situation of killing and breaking the wolf. The Ziwei Emperor Star is dark and it is unclear whether there are auxiliary stars to break the situation..."

Before Zuo Ci finished speaking, Tong Yuan knew what he was going to say next, which meant that the world was about to be in chaos, the emperor was dead, and the Han Dynasty was hopeless. Tong Yuan glanced at Zuo Ci meaningfully and asked: "

If you are able to see so much at your age, then there must be more people in the world who are more profound and can see it. There must be people around the current emperor who can see it. Since there is a way to break the wolf, there will naturally be a way to break it.

, why don’t you go to Luoyang to report to the emperor directly and then help the emperor break this situation."

Zuo Ci swallowed a breath: "If you want to break the situation, you need to change your fate against the will of heaven. I am not enough in Hangzhou. I think those who are good enough may not be able to go to the emperor. Moreover, the situation of killing the wolf has been formed. If you want to reverse the situation,

It is very difficult for heaven to change destiny. Didn't you see a star similar to Ziwei Star to the north of the Ziwei Star? Although the current brightness is not as bright as Ziwei Star, it is very stable and gradually changes. This is a sign of dynasty change.

Moreover, this star appeared very unexpectedly, and I don’t think anyone from my Taoist sect would have the courage to change the fate of today’s emperor!”

Tong Yuan seemed to understand why Zuo Ci did not go to Luoyang and smiled at him and continued Wen Dan: "There are Xianbei and Wuhuan in the northeast, Qiang people in the northwest, and the Xiongnu. I can understand these people who have cholera. But in the south, is it possible for Shanyue and

Are the barbarians a threat to the big men?"
