While the three counties in Pingzhou were busy building the city gate and walls, Lu Songli asked her father to order secretly summon the Qin brothers to come back.
In fact, the Qin brothers are also preparing for the pre-war situation. They are very busy and have not been home for a long time.
While giving a secret order, Lu Desheng asked his daughter casually why.
Lu Songli said inadvertently, “I need them to come back to focus on the control and defense around Longcheng, especially Longcheng Pharmaceutical Factory.” If nothing unexpected happens, this place should be an excellent place to hit the Xianbei hard.
Longcheng control? Why Dragon City? Or near Longcheng Pharmaceutical Factory?
At this time, Lu Desheng felt something was wrong, “Daughter, what exactly is there in Longcheng Pharmaceutical Factory?”
It should be said that there seemed to be some special reason why his daughter insisted on asking Xie family for compensation? But after they arrived in Liaodong County, they didn’t see how much his daughter cared about the 100 hectares of land. They just built a pharmaceutical workshop there, so they didn’t pay much attention to it.
“It’s nothing, there’s a salt lake inside.” Lu Songli said lightly.
Salt Lake? Lu Desheng seems to understand but not understand.
Lu Songli explained, “The bottom of the salt lake is salt brep. It is different from well salt. Well salt needs to be removed, and the salt brep in the salt lake will precipitate salt crystals by itself.”
“What is salt crystal?” Lu Desheng asked. He knew that well salt was one of the ways in which the imperial court produced salt.
“After these salt crystals are taken back, we only need to go through the filtration process to turn them into clean salt.” Lu Songli explained simply.
Lu Desheng’s eyes lit up, “That’s so simple? Isn’t that better than well salt?”
“Yes, well salt will dry up. But the salt lake will not. It is like it is alive, producing a certain amount of salt crystals every year, and then it will stop.”
“In the spring of next year, it will start to produce again. Day after day, year after year, as long as the salt lake has always existed and has not been polluted, there will be no depletion.”
Lu Desheng stood up, “This is good!” It sounds like this salt lake is really a good place to produce salt.
Lu Songli smiled and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.
This salt lake is indeed a good thing, it usually exists in barren lands.
Lu Songlichao, the reason why this place was never discovered was because there was a branch of a dark river passing by in the salt lake.
In spring, the salt crystals of the salt lake are just precipitated, and the snow in the snow mountains gradually melts, and the water from the branches of the underground river will flow into the salt lake. Once the lake water rises, the precipitated salt crystals will be re-introduced into the lake.
She felt that this was the truth, and there were similar scenes in later generations.
When they came to Liaodong County last year, spring had passed, and at that time they were QinAs soon as the family arrived at Xiangping Military Gate, she did not dare to do anything big, so she did not investigate the matter.
This year, she asked Xiao Kun, the head of Longcheng Pharmaceutical Factory, to pay attention to the situation in the salt lake, as she thought.
This matter is of great importance, and Lu Songli asked Xiao Kun to keep it secret.
Xiao Kun also understood the seriousness of this matter and kept his mouth shut.
Lu Desheng suddenly realized, and he said, last autumn, a large number of salted fish that his daughter strongly advocated to make, where did the salt come from? It turns out that the salt used is all from here.
He thought it was the private salt brought back by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce outside. He is neither deaf nor dumb nor a family member, so he turned a blind eye to this matter.
In fact, he still thought that the salt used to dry salted fish was borrowed by Lu Songli through Ji Wuyin’s relationship with the salt merchant he was familiar with, and made an appointment to pay it back in the summer next year, giving 10% of the profit.
Lu Desheng, who was about to sit down, didn’t know what he thought of, straightened his waist again, put his hands on his hips, and began to laugh, “Daughter, are we trying to trick Xie Zhan?”
