Coming out of the council chamber, Xiao Yuan followed Mo Ping to an elegant courtyard.
"This is where I live, but I spend most of my time at the North Gate Pass and rarely live here!" After Mo Ping ordered the maid to prepare the wine and dishes, he led Xiao Yuan to sit at the stone table in the small courtyard.
"I didn't know that Mo Gongzi called me over... But something to ask? After sitting down, Xiao Yuan asked directly.
When Mo Ping heard this, he smiled and replied: "Xiao Gongzi is cheerful, I am not the kind of character who can play tricks!" In Xia Moping, he is currently serving in the North Gate Pass, because his identity is somewhat special, so he asked Xiaoqing before to let him hide from Xiao Gongzi, and also asked Xiao Gongzi not to mind!
Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "So it is, if it's just this matter, it doesn't really matter!"
"Then can I ask Xiao Gongzi... Where is it from? Mo Ping stared at Xiao Yuan and asked.
Xiao Yuan sighed and said: "I know that Mo Gongzi may not believe me, but I really hurt my head before, and I forgot a lot of things after waking up, as for where my hometown is, and whether there are family members, I don't know!" But since God has given me the opportunity to do it again, then I am from Shigui Village! When
Mo Ping heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "I heard Xiao Qing say that Xiao Gongzi is unparalleled in culture, but I didn't expect to understand the businessman's set!"
Xiao Yuan shook his head and replied, "Young Master Mo has something to say bluntly, to be honest, I didn't plan to have a deep friendship with your Mo family before today, because I hate trouble!" Your Mo family is the honor of the present dynasty, and the friend of the tiger can only be a tiger, even if the enemy can only be a fierce beast like a lion, and the sheep are just food in your eyes!
Mo Ping was stunned, he didn't expect Xiao Yuan to actually say such a thing, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to agree, what the other party said was very reasonable.
"Well, I'll get blunt!" After thinking about it, Mo Ping took out a cloth bag from his arms, placed it on the stone table, and said, "This is your thing, right?" When the maid was about to sort out your old clothes before, she accidentally fell on the ground, and a lot of things inside came out!
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly.
This cloth bag contained the fine salt he had made himself, and he had originally planned to take it back to the village to use, but after taking a bath, he changed into new clothes and forgot the cloth bag.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be refined salt, right? The loss caused by the maid, my Mo family will be responsible for compensation, it's just... Can Xiao Gongzi tell us why this refined salt is different from the ones on the market? Seeing that Xiao Yuan did not speak, Mo Ping continued to ask.
At present, within the Great Xia Dynasty, salt is a contraband, only the official government sells it, and ordinary people, whether they make or sell it, are violating the law.
Xiao Yuan sighed, arched his hand, and said, "Young Master Mo, I can only say that this thing is indeed mine!" But the stakes are high, and if you want me to speak... Unless let me meet your family Yu Guogong!"
"Do you think my status is too low?" Mo Ping was stunned and asked with a chuckle.
"Don't dare!" Xiao Yuan waved his hand, and just when he wanted to continue saying something, he suddenly raised his head to look at Mo Ping and asked tentatively: "Are you... The fourth young master of the Mo family?
"How did you guess?" Mo Ping asked in surprise.
Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly, the other party admitted it!
I had to arch my hand and said, "Before you said that you have a special status, I have some doubts, what other people with special status in your Mo family?" Later, thinking that you were serving in Beimen Pass, I guessed that there was something special in your position, so I used a pseudonym! But just now, I remembered that your Mo family's fourth young master seems to be serving in the North Gate Pass, and the identity of the fourth young master of the Mo family is indeed special! It's just that I haven't heard of the fourth young master and any younger brother! "
Ahem... Brother Qing and I are distant relatives, but we have grown up together since childhood, and the relationship is like brothers! Mo Ping touched his nose a little embarrassed, and replied, "So can Xiao Gongzi talk to me now?"
"In that case... Then I'll be honest with you! I made these fine salts! Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and replied.
"What?" Mo Ping thought of countless possibilities, but he didn't think about this, looked at Xiao Yuan with a shocked look, and asked, "You made it?" How do you make it? "
At present, there are two main sources of salt in the Great Xia Dynasty, one is to make sea salt, and the other is the boiling salt method in Shu!
Sea salt is good to say, using the salt contained in seawater, through some means to obtain salt, which is also the most important means in Daxia at present.
In addition, salt wells are sometimes found underground in Shuzhong, and salt can be obtained by salvaging the brine inside and boiling it dry.
The salt obtained by boiling salt is generally of higher quality, but the quantity is too small, and most of the refined salt and fine salt on the market are made in the salt well in Shuzhong.
But this is the South River Channel, there is neither seawater nor salt wells, so how did Xiao Yuan make refined salt?
"Does Young Master Mo know about the poisonous salt mine?" Xiao Yuan asked with a smile.
Although Mo Ping has only been here for more than half a year, he has heard a little about the poisoned salt mine, and many people have fought the idea of the poisoned salt mine, but they all ended in failure.
"Can you get rid of toxins from the poisonous salt mine?" Mo Ping's already surprised brain was a little blank at this time, and he looked at Xiao Yuan in front of him blankly, as if he had seen some incredible monster.
"In the next bucai, it is indeed possible!" Xiao Yuan nodded flatly, then pointed to the cloth bag on the stone table and said, "And the truth is in front of you soon?" This
was his thoughtful answer.
Don't look at the huge profits of salt making, but this kind of thing is not at all something that he can grasp as a common people, and he really wants to rely on poisonous salt mines to make a fortune, and taking him out is the best choice.
As for why he told Mo Ping, this was also a temptation for him, and after learning the identity of the other party, he made a decision.
If the other party wants to rob him of his production method, then he will definitely tell the other party with a smile, and then immediately take the people of Shigui Village away.
After his Mo family began to mine the poisonous salt mine, he only needed to spread this matter, and his Mo family would not be able to eat and go.
As a contraband, His Majesty will never allow a noble to have such an ability, and the best result is that they take the formula and hand it over to the emperor, but if they show some greed or unwillingness, then what awaits them is doom.
After getting Xiao Yuan's affirmative answer, Mo Ping didn't know what to do for a while, so he looked at Xiao Yuan stupidly.
"Young Master Ping... The wine is ready, will you bring it now? At this moment, several maids carrying wine and food stood not far away and asked.
