Chapter 55
After arriving at the salt well.
Ying Changsheng first looked at the terrain, he found it, and then stretched out his finger, dipped some salt water in the salt well, tasted it, and in an instant, Ying Changsheng slapped his thigh violently, he said with emotion.
"This salt well is pretty good!"
"But how did you get the brine from the salt well?"
Ying Changsheng asked.
Meng Yi on the side is not sure. He has never cared about these trivial matters. These matters are handled by the Meng family's servants and stewards. Why does he, Meng Yi, need to manage them personally?
He recruited the steward at home and asked.
"That's how you extract the brine from the salt well?"
"Back to the nineteenth son, the salt water in these salt wells is all bit by bit, and it is taken out of the well with a bucket..."
The steward at the side replied truthfully.
Suddenly, Ying Changsheng frowned.
This method is too slow.
Moreover, the efficiency is also very low.
Buckets of water are taken out of the water. If it is for domestic use, that's it. How many buckets of water can a family use in a day?
However, here at Ying Changsheng, it is necessary to distill salt water on a large scale to obtain table salt.
Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to adopt such a backward method.
Thinking of this, Ying Changsheng thought for a moment and then slapped his thigh fiercely.
He thought of something that everyone in later generations would see.
This thing is perfect for fetching water.
With this thing, coupled with his refined salt refining technique, it is possible to produce qualified table salt on a large scale in the Tang Dynasty for consumption.
Immediately, Ying Changsheng stood up and said to Meng Yi.
"These salt wells are good. Leave them to my people. Also, who are the original workers here?"
Meng Yi was not sure. After all, the salt well was just an insignificant one among the many properties in his home. The steward on the side quickly introduced it.
"Reporting to Young Master Nineteen, all the workers here were hired with money..."
"Oh!"
Ying Changsheng nodded and looked at the workers again.
There are not many people working here, only a few dozen people. Thinking of this, Ying Changsheng has an easy way.
"How much were their wages before? Tell them that if they are willing to stay, they can continue to stay. If they are not willing to stay, I will not force them to stay. However, after they stay, if they work, they can increase their salary by one-third per month. One’s wages!”
I heard Ying Changsheng talk about salary increase.
A group of workers who were still hesitating and worried about losing their jobs were instantly overjoyed. They quickly fell to their knees and shouted at Ying Changsheng.
"I would like to thank the Nineteenth Young Master!"
"Nineteen young masters are benevolent and virtuous..."
Ying Changsheng was unmoved by the compliments in his ears, and he said to Liu Bang behind him.
"Liu Bang, go to Xianyang on horseback, invite Gongshu Shangzao, and say, I have a sharp weapon that can draw water, and I want to show him!"
"Yes, Young Master Nineteen!"
Liu Bang said quickly, and then, he got on a horse and headed towards Xianyang City.
At the same time, within the city of Xianyang.
Gongshu Shangzao's mansion, at this moment, Gongshu Shangzao, was speaking to his grandfather, the head of the Gongshu family.
"Grandpa, the Nineteenth Young Master is very proficient in the art of our Mohist organization. This Quyuanli, papermaking, and movable type printing are all the Nineteenth Young Master's proud work. If the Nineteenth Young Master had not proposed it, I'm afraid that if we let us think about it, we won't even think that there is such a sharp weapon in this world..."
"Hearing what you said, this nineteenth son really has some connections with my Mo family!"
In the air, Gong Shuli's old voice sounded.
At this time, a young girl protruded from behind Gong Shuli. This girl was not very old, only 23 years old, but it could be seen that she had a good appearance, and she was an extremely beautiful embryo. When she grew up, she would definitely be a great beauty.
"Grandpa, the Nineteenth Young Master you are talking about is the current Supervisor?"
"Exactly!"
Gongshu Shangzao on the side said quickly and looked at his little sister again.
"Little sister, these nineteen young masters are much younger than you, but they know much more about the mechanism skills of our Mo family than you do!"
"Hmph, who knows if you are talking nonsense, big brother? In our generation, no one is my opponent except you, big brother!"
The voice of Gongshu Prajna resounded in the air.
Gongshu Shangzao couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
"What did I lie to you for!"
"There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. Prajna, you are still too arrogant. You should do more research. My family's unique skills of the Mohist family!"
At this time, Gong Shuli said.
Gongshu Prajna on the side opened his mouth when he saw his grandfather, so he couldn't continue to pester him, she said.
"Okay, grandpa, I will definitely study hard!"
At this moment, a servant's voice sounded from the side, outside.
"Master, there is a man named Liu Bang outside. He said that the Nineteenth Young Master is here to invite the young master to come over..."
"Oh?"
Gongshuli raised his eyebrows, but at this moment, Gongshu Shangzao stood up quickly and asked.
"What does the Nineteenth Young Master want to see me for?"
"That Liu Bang said, it seems that the nineteenth son has recently developed a sharp weapon for drawing water!"
the servant replied.
In an instant, Gongshu Shangzao's eyes lit up, and Gongshuli beside him was even more so, he frowned.
"What is this sharp tool for drawing water?"
"Could it be that there is something so powerful in this world?"
"That's right, other than a bucket, what else can you use to fetch water? This nineteenth son is obviously a kid playing house, talking nonsense over there, tricking my elder brother to play with him!"
Gongshu Banruo puffed up his small face, mumbling there with an expression of dissatisfaction.
But Gongshu Shangzao was very steadfast in his promise.
"Young Master Nineteen never speaks falsely. This matter is probably true. I will go there now. I should be able to learn a lot from it..."
Having said that, Gongshu Shangzao will benefit the Gongshu in front of him.
"Grandpa, Shangzao bids farewell!"
As he said that, Gongshu Shangzao was about to leave, but he only took a few steps when Gongshuli's voice came from behind him.
"Wait a minute!"
"Shangzao, bring your sister Prajna with you!"
Gongshu Li said.
"Grandpa, what did I do in the past?"
Gongshu Banruo was obviously puzzled, but Gongshuli said that he could not deny it.
"Let you go there, just go there, follow your elder brother, and learn a little bit. In addition, when you meet the nineteenth son, you should be respectful and don't act like a young lady!"
Gong Shuli instructed, but Gong Shu Shangzao on the side showed a troubled expression.
He didn't want to take his sister there.
