Xiaobao didn't expect Zhuo Buqun to come.

Because his original intention was to help Zhuo Yao pick it up for his father and place it in order to give his father a chance to spend his old age in peace.

But Zhuo Buqun always wants to do something, otherwise he will feel uneasy.

The meeting between Chu Qing and Zhuo Buqun ended in a short while, because Zhuo Buqun was so reserved to face her, she looked tired.

However, Xiaobao, Zhuo Buqun and Zhuo Yao, talked behind closed doors for a long time.

Since Zhuo Buqun wants to do something, Xiaobao really needs him: "Uncle, does your knees always hurt?"

"I'm going back to the prince, I won't get sick anymore." Zhuo Buqun replied.

Xiaobao couldn't believe that he was so restrained at such an old age. This was the right father, so he said, "Uncle Zhuo, just call me Xiaobao. Our family doesn't have so many rules. I like it, right, oh Zhuo Yao..."

Zhuo Buqun has calmed down - their family is just talking like that!

Xiaobao: "I like the way I get along with you with such a comfortable way. Uncle, you are here this time, right?"

Zhuo Buqun: "Back... that's it. I saw your food street in Chongyu Mansion and stayed in your academy for a lot of days, but I couldn't find what I could do."

Zhuo Yao stared at his father's bulging cheeks and thought: You must have just watched the food street.

Zhuo Buqun: "Linyang Hou doesn't seem to be very peaceful here. I thought, maybe I can help train some guards?"

Compared to Zhuo Yao, Zhuo Buqun is naturally more suitable for training the guard team, and he is the leader of the Royal Secret Guard Camp.

but……

"Dad, are you going to steal my job?!" Zhuo Yaoxian shouted.

Zhuo Buqun: "Uh..."

Xiaobao's eyes rolled: "Uncle, have you seen the sea? I'll take you around?"

Xiaobao took the father and son to the southernmost salt farm in Linyang County, but only stayed with them for one day, leaving all the time for them to enjoy family happiness.

Zhuo Buqun, who first met Dahai, was very excited and even felt that he was rejuvenated.

He gets up early every day, goes out to sea with fishermen, and goes to the salt farm to dry salt, eats the freshest fish, basks the earliest sun, and the earliest moon.

Half a month later, Zhuo Buqun became dark and lost weight.

I used to eat snacks from the food street as a regular meal, but it was not very healthy. Now I eat more fish and vegetables, and I consume a lot of energy every day. Finally, I can see that some of them are the father and son.

"This is not very safe." Zhuo Buqun was a little worried.

He deliberately changed his appearance because he was afraid of causing trouble for his son, but now that he lost weight, his facial contours became obvious and the flesh on his eyelids became thinner, and he was afraid that someone would recognize him.

Zhuo Yao: "There is no big problem here. There are people from the Chu family on the beach. However, I think Xiaobao may want you to go to the island."

Regarding the fact that there is another small island overseas, Zhuo Yao told his father that although he had never been there, Xiaobao arranged for Zhuo Buqun to visit the beach, which should be the meaning of this.

Zhuo Buqun's knees rarely get sick now and is used to it at the beach.

Although the seaside humidity is high, Zhuo Buqun does not need to stay on the beam every day, nor does he need to kneel down from time to time. The food is good, the nutrition is good, and the leg disease does not occur much.

In fact, Zhuo Buqun has been very miserable over the years. He doesn’t have many times when he is down-to-earth. He either hangs it on the wall or squats on the beams of the house. If he really stands on the ground, he has to adapt for a while.

Moreover, he would delay his meal time from time to time when he was on duty, and he would be hungry and full. It would be fine if he was in his twenties. Now he is in his fifties, which has caused great harm to his body.

No body can stand the incorrect posture and insufficient nutritional intake for a long time.

"That's the best," Zhuo Buqun said: "That's how you and I are safe, but we're going to separate again."

Zhuo Buqun was also a little reluctant. Although he left the palace, he didn't have to worry about being buried with him, but he couldn't stay by his son's side every day.

The warehouses of the salt farm have been continuously expanded over the years, and they are almost unable to keep up with the production speed. The accumulated fine salt is really huge.

A lot of manpower and material resources are put into place every year to prevent moisture and pollution, which has become a burden.

Now, I'm rushing into the market at the price of coarse salt, and the pressure on the warehouse has been greatly reduced.

Xiaobao was very satisfied with this: "Hmph, some people are not going to sit still."

really.

Chu Qing sprinkled out the fine salt, and the first thing he couldn't sit still was the emperor: "How can he sell it so cheaply? How can he make money?"

In the emperor's impression, fine salt is so good that it should be sold at a higher price than fine salt. The emperor thought it was a waste of resources for selling it at such a low price.

You should know that although the sea is large, the production of sea salt in Daxuan is not high.

The reason is that there are inconvenient transportation and few salt households.

In other words, there is no one in the place where there is salt.

The main sources of salt are inland saltwater lakes, seawater and salt-rich mines, which are barren places and sparsely populated.

Just walk to the beach and you will know that if there are villages on the beach and no more than three generations, there will definitely be prisoners who are assigned to this place.

Except for those who were exiled, who would live in a place with such difficult living conditions?

The salt-making technology at this time was simple, and coarse salt could only be extracted from seawater by evaporation and dryness. Therefore, the yield of sea salt is not only low, but also poor in quality.

Although the emperor knew that the fine salt produced by Chu Qing was of good quality and high yield, he did not expect that the stock was so large - it has been a few months since? The fine salt of the Chu family was still being sold everywhere.

With such a large stock and fine salt, how can it be sold so cheaply?

The emperor immediately wrote to Chu Qing to ask about this matter.

Chu Qing’s answer is very... very "Chu Qing"—

"Emperor, this year, not only did I raise food and grass for myself, but also handed over the jade ore, almost fighting against the people of Woth;

Your Majesty, do you think, from last year to this year, have you had the time to do serious work? Do you have the opportunity to go out and make money?

Seeing that the situation of more than half a year has passed again, I am thinking that even if I starve me to death, I will not let you lose anything, so I think of making money with salt;

But this thing cannot be sold too expensively. If it is expensive, ordinary people cannot afford it, so they will not buy it at all, right?

You know, people have to eat salt, but most people who eat salt do not serve as customers and only sell salt to those rich people. How much can they eat?

Don't you suffocate them?

You know that in addition to people eating salt, animals also have to eat salt. Adult cattle and horses need half a liang to one liang of salt every day to grow well, and even sheep have to eat one to two qian;

This is another large number. Rich people are not as good as beasts, so I have to sell them for this price!

Moreover, I did not dare to sell too much, but it was limited to limited supply, so as not to be taken over by those who are interested.

It is good to let the emperor, you cannot make money;

Although I am poor, I only need one child to raise, but I don’t need much money, but you have a bunch of wives and children waiting to be fed;

Of course, I am currently selling salt just to get a few inputs. The general direction must be determined by the emperor. How to set the price? I will adjust it immediately after you give it to me.”
