[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]

After Su Qingyu made a series of reforms to the salt fields in Chuzhou, all parties were watching nervously.

Who wouldn’t want to use a method that saves manpower and cost? But also afraid of failure.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long, only the next month, there was good news.

Using the sun salt method, the yield doubled!

This is just a small experiment, and the main focus in the early stage is to build salt fields. It takes too much time to train salt workers, and only a few days of salt production are used.

There is such an output. Not only Chuzhou, but also the entire Zhenhai was boiling.

Lu Bocheng happily ordered that the price of salt be directly cut by half for the people in Zhenhaijie Town. However, in order to prevent reselling, there is a monthly limit.

But for ordinary people, it is completely enough. Even if they pickle salted fish and pickles every day, there is plenty.

Now the people in Zhenhai no longer have to dig for salt to eat salt. Not only do they not have to dig for salt every month, they also save a lot of money.

The common people are so happy.

So he spontaneously invented various salt-based foods.

The beggar's chicken doesn't need to be wrapped in yellow mud, it's just wrapped in salt. Use it vigorously and there will be plenty left.

And the new food is also sold on the street. It seems like overnight, all kinds of salt-based food appeared on the street. The fragrance spreads ten miles away.

Many people were pushing a large iron pot, which was filled with a mountain of rising salt, filled with various chickens, ducks and other poultry, various meats, and various eggs.

When someone buys it, the stall owner will break a corner of the salt block and dig in. Coated with the heat of salt, the food is still warm when you take it out.

Business is very good.

Guo, Tian and others couldn't help but go to the street and buy new food for Su Qingyu to eat. Since she was pregnant, her taste has become quite intriguing and she always wants to eat something new.

Everyone in the house, from Lu Bocheng to all the maids and chef Ding, were thinking about making fresh food for her.

When Guo and others brought back the new food and described it vividly to her, Su Qing was delighted.

Isn't this salt-baked chicken and salt-baked eggs?

Sure enough, ordinary people are naturally wise about eating.

Nowadays, the price of salt is cheap, and everyone can afford large iron pots. The salt baking business is very good. I heard that there are many ordinary people on the street pushing large iron pots to do this kind of business.

I don’t have to worry about people buying it, business is very good.

Su Qingyao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After taking a few bites, it tasted very good. Lu Bocheng knew that she loved to eat. Since then, every now and then, when he came back from the military camp in the evening, he would go to the street to buy her various salt-baked foods and bring them back to her to eat.

Sometimes Qingyang also buys them for her.

But Su Qingnao didn't dare to eat more. Afraid of being bad for the child.

Often she would only get a taste, and Lu Bo would take care of the rest.

Seeing Lu Bocheng's face becoming more and more horizontal, Su Qingyu was very moved. It seemed that this was the reason why his wife was pregnant and his husband gained weight.

While Lu Bocheng was tearing apart the chicken legs and eating them deliciously, he turned around and saw his wife staring at him.

The hand stopped: "Madam, why do you view your husband like this?"

He looked at the big chicken drumstick in his hand and thought that the lady wanted to eat it, so he handed it over: "Madam, you eat it."

Su Qingyu tilted her head to one side: "I won't eat, you can eat."

The smell of salt-baked chicken hit her nose directly, and she swallowed: "Why don't you go out to eat? I'll be greedy again after watching you eat."

"Eat it if you're hungry, there's a lot more. I eat chicken every day, and I don't even know if I'm pregnant or you are pregnant."

"I won't eat it. It's too salty and it's not good for the child."

"Ah, isn't it bad for the children? How about I stop buying it in the future?"

Su Qingyu licked her lips: "Isn't there a place that only sells wings or chicken feet? If you have to sell a whole one, I can't eat it."

"I'll eat if I can't. Otherwise, we can't afford to buy a chicken as a reward for the people below. We have to cut it up and sell it. We have money now. Let alone buy you one chicken a day, we will buy ten. Hundreds of them, I don’t even feel sorry for my husband.”

Tsk tsk. This face of sudden wealth.

"Yes, now that you have money, you can work hard. How many times have you paid out money from last year to now? The army has also given out money, and the government has also given out money. You are not afraid of attracting others to attack you one day. Ah. Can’t you be more low-key?”

"I keep a low profile. Except for my own people, the rest of the people in our house have signed the contract. After receiving the money, they will not publicize it outside. And the military does not need my instructions, they themselves Know how to keep your mouth shut.”

"You don't know how tight-lipped they are. Just like when they get trophies in a war, no one talks about it. Money and other things are hidden secretly."

"And I've only paid twice. The main reason is that they have been suffering from poverty with me. I sometimes pay and sometimes don't pay military salary, and they don't complain at all. Now that I have money, I want to compensate them. And If they are treated well in the military, they will only work harder in the future.”

After Lu Bocheng finished speaking, seeing that his wife really didn't want to eat, he stuffed the chicken drumsticks into his mouth again and increased his speed.

He couldn't let his wife endure too much pain, and he also had to study for his daughter.

"As long as you are sensible. Our situation has improved a bit now, but we have to think about the long term and not just focus on the present. And the military training cannot be left behind. Don't lose your combat effectiveness just because you have money."

"That won't happen. Don't worry, ma'am. We're keeping a tight grip on the actual situation."

"Hold on tight?"

"Yes." Lu Bocheng nodded at her.

Su Qingyu glanced at his face and belly with disgust, "Look at your face and your belly. There is already flesh. How dare you say that you have been practicing hard?"

Tsk tsk.

Lu Bocheng paused, looked down at his belly, and squeezed it with his hands. Sure enough, he could squeeze out a layer of flesh.

Startled.

when did it happen?

"Madam, have I really gained weight?"

"Didn't you see it yourself?"

The meat in Lu Bocheng's hand suddenly lost its aroma and he immediately threw the meat into the plate.

But you can't gain weight. Once you gain weight, you won't be able to run. If you can't run, you will be chased and killed, and maybe you won't be able to swing a spear.

If something happens to him, what will happen to his wife and children?

"Come here, put the things away." Lu Bocheng immediately called his servants to come in and collect them.

He licked his lips again, savoring the taste, but didn't dare to look at Rourou again.

The couple also restrained their appetites from then on.

And Chuzhou got a new salt-making method, and its economy became more and more prosperous. But there is no shortage of salt workers, but there is a shortage of people who can keep accounts and keep accounts.

Nowadays, various political powers are divided, the imperial examinations are at a standstill, many martial arts schools are opened, but more and more private schools are closed. Reading is useless and a waste of money. No one is willing to spend money to send their children to study, just like in the past ten years of poverty.

As a result, Chuzhou is now in dire need of people who can keep accounts and keep accounts.

Not only the salt works, but also the mines are extremely short of people who can keep accounts.

Su Qingyu discussed it with Lu Bocheng and Pei Shi, and Lu Bocheng made a decision.
