Chapter 339: Salt out

Zhanou himself enclosing the land to build an enemy city, this news came out, Li Xuan aroused knowledge. Save great attention from above and below. Everyone knows that this is actually the action of Governor Lorraine.
You increase the price, you control the supply, okay, it’s okay, myself
No one knows the rules of the deserted beach for the time being, but the fact that Leo's men recruited salt workers near Nidal, everyone was watching.
Some people applauded the Governor of Lorraine, thinking that this was a way of drawing salaries from the bottom of the pan. Most of the big salt merchants sneered. Seeing that Lorraine hadn't moved them, these scoundrels had a lot of courage. They even dared to laugh quietly in teahouses, restaurants, and public places where it is strictly forbidden to talk about state affairs. From Lorraine, this is a tricky behavior.
These salt merchants have a very good reason: you can cook the salt yourself, and really think that how much salt can be produced by scraping the beach?
Hold a big pot, fill it with sea water, and boil it for a day and a night to be stunned by the salt at the bottom of the pot. Even a salt worker can look after three cauldrons. Leo’s saltworks only recruited a thousand workers. According to this scale, the output of this saltworks is very limited.
Of course there are those who oppose and support them. I am optimistic that this is just the beginning. Leo's small hand has taken away 5,000 mu of beach land. More than 1,000 workers can't even occupy 500 acres. This shows that this is just the preliminary preparations of the Governor of Lorraine. In the end, this salt farm may have 10,000 workers.
Someone has already flattered in front of Lorraine and said that the governor is wise, stimulates the economy, promotes employment, and has the best of both worlds.
But no matter what everyone said, Lorraine and the relevant personnel of the Governor's Mansion did not comment on this. It seems extremely unpredictable.
The salt field is under construction here, and Lorraine himself is not idle.
Because the empire is to avoid separatism by warlords. All the high-ranking officials demanded that they only take office. In this way, there is no own team. There is no way to rebel.
And Lorraine is no exception. After all, he can't run to Emperor Rulunde shamelessly and tell the boss: I am your niece’s concubine, adulterer, and bed partner. Your old man will save face. Master, let me take three to five thousand cronies to the Throne of God Seal?
It is estimated that if you really dare to say this. The next day he had to enter the palace to engage in the promising career of eunuchs.
Therefore, he came this time, although he brought a lot of entourage guards and royal guards. But basically it is considered empty. If you really want to manage government affairs and handle the military, you still have to rely on these local officials.
During his contact with the officials, he has been quietly observing them, that. You really mixed up with yourself, that one is for soy sauce, that one is twenty-five sons?
Through observations over this period of time, Lorraine also knew what he knew. After all, for such a long time, even the old fox should have exposed his tail.
Lorraine stared at those positions and sneered in his heart: If you are in the first year of junior high school, don't blame the governor for doing the fifteenth, and go home obediently and hold your baby.
Lorraine's eyes were now on the middle-level officials, and he began to consider those who were loyal to him. Can be promoted.
Like all bosses, Lord Lorraine's selection criteria is to rely on loyalty and unconditionally listen to his own words. Ability only comes second. If he is not very capable, just give him two capable deputies.
It's like a good employee can never be a leader, and my brother-in-law has always been a department manager.
In the words of the boss, of course those who are able to put it in the key position.
Having said that, you are an imperial official. You can do what your boss tells you and just do your job honestly.
So capable, so capable, what do you want to do? Ambitious, is it to covet the position of Shangguan, or want to rebel and play the management buyout of the empire?
Like this kind of guy who doesn't know the height of the sky. If you don't step on you, who should step on?
At the same time, Lorraine and Leo also kept extremely strict secrecy regarding the use of the sun-dried salt method in the saltworks. A large number of legions were stationed around them, and no one outside the saltworks knew about it.
How big is 5,000 mu of land? Simply put. It takes at least half a day to run a lap on a fast horse.
Although this salt field is owned by Feiying Company, Leiou specially established Nian'an Salt Industry Technology Development Co., Ltd. under Feiying Company for business reasons.
The main reason for this is to allow reasonable tax evasion through fraudulent accounting.
As the head office, Feiying Company is its main business. It is still a high-tech manufacturing industry.
The blue waves are endless, the sea and the sky are the same color, and on an invisible sandy beach, there are square salt fields surrounded by Tian Gong, one after another. Arranged neatly, the salt pan has been filled with seawater. Under the scorching sun and strong sea breeze in midsummer, natural steaming is performed.
Behind the salt field, there are rows of temporary sheds made of logs and branches, as well as warehouses still under construction.
There is a wooden pier on the left and right on the beach, and two medium-sized transport ships are tied to the pier.
There are still several boats on the sea shuttle, some are patrolling, and some are small transport ships that bring back daily necessities from Nydal.
On the beach and between the salt pans, there will be a tall wind pump at every interval. Metal pipes extend from the sea, connected to the pumps, and then spread into the salt pans.
The huge fan blades of the pump were blown by the sea breeze. Slowly rotating, the upper part is the wind mechanism, and the lower part can also use animal power.
The water pump pumps seawater into the salt pan for steaming through tin pipes covered with gauze filters. After a few days of exposure to the steaming pool, the pumping machine passes through another pipe to sink the water into the crystallization pool, where the salt will instantly emerge from the sea: after a simple process of removing impurities, it is produced The white crystals can be used as table salt and sold on the market.
The wind and water conservancy equipment produced by Flying Eagle has now reached the third generation. In Leo’s words, it already has the advantages of modularity, intelligence, and humanity. The most important thing is that ordinary people cannot repair it. If it is broken, you can only find the after-sales service department of Flying Eagle.
Under the guidance of Lorraine, the after-sales service department of Feiying Company has fully learned modern and advanced business management experience.
If you can fix it today, you must wait until tomorrow. It can be repaired once, and it must be divided into three or five times. During the warranty period, we will never replace parts for you.
Out of the warranty period, if a bolt is dropped, the entire drive shaft has to be replaced. If you don’t replace it, we are not an insurance company.
Under the guidance of advanced experience, and under Leo's strong cost control, the benefits of the after-sales department once passed the sales department, leading the whole group and spread as a good story.
After the successful application of the patent for the sun salt method. Feiying Company declared 15 major patents and more than 200 minor patents in one go. For this reason, Leo simply put a lot of red envelopes and invited the entire patent office into the Flying Eagle Company to work on site.
Everyone at the Patent Office burst into tears.
These rascals who had been messed up in the past came to understand: our Patent Office was like an imperial dining room. It was an institution dedicated to the royal family. It had a constitution, a steel rice bowl.
This time I will talk to my colleagues who were unwilling to come in at the time, and will not make their eyes yellow?
Who are Lorraine and Leo? The curse-forbidden mage in the deceptive industry.
In eight months, Lorraine successfully evolved from scraping the land to being a friend of Pluto, and then Pluto’s neighbor, now the brother of Pluto. He will become Pluto himself in a few months, and he will be upgraded to Pluto’s elder a year later. Dad's posture.
Leo originally only wanted to apply for patents for wind mills, water mills, and hydraulic equipment, but under the guidance of Lord Lorraine, he applied for patents for all of them, including wind blades, water wheels, and transmission systems. Down to the bolts and nuts, connecting rods, pulley blocks. There is also metallurgy and casting. Grinding, molding and other processing techniques have become the patents of Flying Eagle Company.
Leo followed the design drawing and came up with all the parts. It is estimated that in the future, the Ruman people will have to pay the patent license fee to the Flying Eagle Company if they want to make a Maza.
In Leo's words, I was stealing money. It's just a hooligan, what do you do to us!
After the initial establishment of the saltworks, what Lorraine and Leo paid attention to was the secrecy of the saltworks. Not only is there no people in the vicinity of the saltworks for dozens of miles. There is no shadow in the dormitory, but the entire salt field has been tightly surrounded by barbed wire and watchtowers.
The Feiying Company's own security team guarded this place closely, and even the patrol team was already ten miles away from the salt field.
The security guards of the Flying Eagle Company, dressed in standard black overalls in chain mail, hold a strong bow and a hard crossbow. With spears wicked, he led the hounds on patrol in the salt field camp.
If you don’t know it, at first glance, you will think this is Auschwitz, even if it is better, it is a concave version of the Gulag camp.
It never occurred to me that this is the production workshop of the Salt Company.
A badge is printed on the uniform of the Feiying Company. The eagle and Rumanyingqi are like brothers.
This team was originally set up to defend the laboratory, with the growth of Flying Eagle Company. It quickly grew up and the scale continued to expand. The membership has been expanded again and again, and now the security teams in all regions add up to the size of a corps. Leo is even considering whether it is necessary to establish a training base.
Most of the members of the security team are also veterans who have retired under the command of Grand Duke Julian.
A few years later, the size of the security team has been expanding. After the Flying Eagle Company was reborn and upgraded from a commercial organization to a business organization, the security team became independent of the military and political system. Relying on the Flying Eagle Company, the paramilitary forces directly under the Royal Family, guarding the security teams of the Flying Eagle Company from all sides, became the vanguard of consolidating the imperial power and deterring local forces.
For this reason, Lorraine reorganized the security team several times, and finally became the security army. Lorraine divided the security army into different corps-level departments such as the Black Water Department and the Deyang Branch.
There are even legends that there are always mysterious forces in the security army, which are responsible for collecting local intelligence for the royal family and eliminating dissidents who are dissatisfied with the royal family.
Local personnel talked about the security team. Lorraine once praised them, this is a brocade guard wearing a black uniform.
(From the emperor’s point of view, Jin Yiwei is very important to consolidate the imperial power, and Jin Yiwei is also responsible for overseas operations to maintain national security. Emperor Chongzhen is estimated to have a shadow on Jin Yiwei. He is the king of Jin Yiwei who is the key monitoring object of Jin Yiwei. After taking office, he was abandoned. Jin Yiwei, it turned out to be a tragedy. In the end, the Beijing official didn't hang him, and tried another emperor. He was killed early.
What's more, with the development of Feiying's overseas business, the security team has gone abroad to pretend to be overseas, and has the task of protecting the nationals and subverting hostile regimes.
In view of the strong strength of the security forces, the League of Nations officially met to threaten Lorraine and Leo. To jointly sanction the security forces, the Ruman people guarantee that we will never use "urban management" first in external conflicts. Er, no, the security teams.
The workers in the salt field know very well about Nian's recent safety and health, and they all know this. The salt field was opened by Governor Lorraine.
However, after seeing Lorraine’s method of drying salt, these old salt workers who have dealt with the smoke, dust and sea all their lives were unceremoniously haha, and they all boiled for thousands of years. Zhou Xunyi came here for nothing, our governor is really whimsical.
However, the people who came to teach the method of drying salt were all vowed, and the steps of drying salt were written so clearly that the salt workers were all skeptical about discharging water and drying salt according to Lorraine's method. Down the pool.
It was estimated that the days were about to come, Lorraine took a day off and took the family to the salt field happily.
Leo and Vera would go to the salt field basically every day, and Leo went black after a few days. Vera's complexion is also extremely healthy.
Catherine, Adele, and Melina were holding umbrellas, and they were very ladies under the protection of many guards. Leo and Vera ran out of joy as soon as they entered the salt field.
Lorraine looked at this huge saltworks. Calculate how much money was spent on this place. How much money do I have to throw inside, and there is output. For things like selling prices, the manager of the saltworks followed Lorraine with a group of management staff.
At this time, Lorraine and the others heard someone shouting in front of them: "Salt is coming out, salt is really coming out".
The salt worker near Lorraine and the guard ran to the shouting place together. The manager behind Lorraine was anxious, and did not dare to drop Lorraine. They ran over to the Throne of God Seal, they could only crane their necks to look ahead. .
The Lorraine family also walked towards the salt pond, and when they came to the front row, the crowd of onlookers saw Leo and Vera standing on the edge of the salt pond.
Vera bit her finger in her mouth and looked at Yanchi nervously.
Leo walked around Tian Gong impatiently. He said loudly: "Hurry up. Hurry up."
A salt worker at the side was holding something like a fence, drawing from the bottom of the salt pond.
Lorraine could see from the side that the precipitated salt particles gathered at the bottom of the salt pond.
The salt worker pulled the crystal Ge Xiao to the edge of the salt pond. He threw down the fence, squatted down and picked up a handful of salt, first licked it with his tongue, and shouted: "It's salt, it's really dried out."
Leo despised him and said: "It can be fake."
The salt worker's excited face fell on the salt merchant in his hand, smearing his face with salt grains of sea water.
All the salt workers nearby cried with excitement.
The manager of the salt field squatted to the edge of the salt pond, grabbed a handful of salt and stuffed it directly into his mouth, so salty that his facial features were squeezed. Ugh, I don't know what I'm talking about.
Leo looked at the salt farm manager, cut, and said, "I'm not afraid to eat too much to change the salt."
The salt farm manager coughed twice, took the salt out of his mouth, and said to Lorraine: "This method of yours has a lot of merit."
"Yes, in the future, everyone can think of radish and radish, and think of cucumber and crisp cucumber."
"Look at your good taste, you will be able to pick vegetables, and I will eat it with salt when I want to bake a flatbread."
Catherine took Lorraine's arm and said with joy: "You have done a great job for the empire. If you want any rewards, I will go to the emperor to give you
Lorraine tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "Can I give a gold medal to avoid death?"
Catherine pinched Lorraine's waist and said, "I mean serious.
Lorraine said: "Seriously? Then play games with me tonight."
Catherine snorted and stomped Lorraine's feet hard.
Leo jumped in front of Lorraine; and said loudly, "Boss, let's do it. I've calculated it. We sell 20 copper plates for a pound. We've reached it all. One time salt is tens of thousands of gold coins."
Lorraine smiled and said, "No hurry. Do you remember the guys who changed hands and dumped your salt? We are going to ruin them this time."
Leo squeezed his fist, waved and said loudly: "Okay, boss, what do you want to do."
Catherine flexed her hands and said: "It's been a long time since we started, this time we will give them a hard blow.
Lorraine turned to the salt farm manager and said: "Step up production, count the output and send it to me. I have some tasks left to you. Also, keep it secret. In the past month, the salt farm is not allowed to enter or leave.
Two days later, a transport ship laden with salt arrived at Nedel's port. In the jealous eyes of others, the owner's net unloaded the whole package of salt and piled it on the dock.
The salt merchant who smelled the smell rushed to the scene the first time, brandishing a pack of gold coins, and shouting: "Eighteen silver coins per pound, I have all the bags."
A worker on the dock glared at the salt merchant in front of him, screaming, and cursed inwardly: "Worthy things."
At this time, another rich middle-aged man jumped out of the carriage nearby ~EbookFREE.me~ and shouted: "I want to collect eighteen silver coins. You are sick. I will give out twenty silver coins a pound. "
Seeing a competitor coming, the owner of the ship chuckled, took a wooden barrel and sat under his hips, and said loudly: "I am a businessman today. It is not easy to pull a boat of salt across the ocean. Who."
The salt merchant cursed secretly: You black-hearted ghost. He raised his voice and shouted: "Twenty-two silver coins, you will lose in the high self
The person next to him laughed and said, "You don’t lose your heart. The net price increased again two days ago. I paid 25 silver coins a pound.
The salt merchant gritted his teeth and said, "Thirty. I don't believe you dare to pay more than thirty."
"Okay, you're cruel, let's take a look." After shaking his hand, he jumped into the carriage and left.
The shipowner came over and took the salt merchant’s hand and smiled: "This boss, let’s just overweight. I’ll say yes. Only cash money will be collected. I will sell it quickly. I will go home and collect another ship of salt.
The people on the dock looked at them and thought with anxiety: The salt price might go up again. (To be continued)
