Chapter 199 Beijing People (kneeling for collection)
"What? Are you going to follow my teacher?"
In the room, Lin Mo Niang was very surprised. Looking at the sudden Hua Gu, she couldn't help but think of the fact that she stabbed Xu Shaoyang a few days ago, and she became more and more alert.
Aware of Lin Mo's vigilance, Xu Shaoyang smiled, shook his head at her, and then looked at Aunt Hua and said, "Since the girl has the intention of meditation, Xu Shaoyang should try his best to help her."
With that, he took out a blue scripture from his arms, "This is the South China True Sutra. If you have nothing to do, you can read it. If you have any questions, come and ask me."
"Thank you, sir."
Aunt Hua gave a salute, took the scripture from Lin Mo Niang, who was a little reluctant on her face. Later, she said goodbye and walked back frivolously.
After she left, Lin Mo Niang asked puzzledly, "Master, that Nanhua Zhenjing is your favorite thing. How can you give it to others so casually?"
He smiled and washed his hands in the copper basin, played with the xylophone that Yang Yanzhao found for him, and popped up a few tunes. Xu Shaoyang answered, "Mo Niang, human nature is good. Now that Hua Gu's heart knot has been solved. If we are sincere, why should we reject people out? For my Taoist family, if the people have the desire to seek Taoism, they can ask.
On the axis of the tune, Xu Shaoyang's fingers turned gently, and a few wisps of notes turned out. Later, he lowered his fingertips. "I think the flower girl is thin and frivolous. I think she hasn't eaten in the past few days. Mo Niang, you can make some light food and send it over."
Since Xu Shaoyang spoke, Lin Mo Niang had to respond, "Mo Niang knows, I'll go now."
At this point, Hua Gu understood the "South China True Sutra" in the house. She didn't walk around, but Xu Shaoyang often went there. After a long time, the two could talk about it.
Zhu Rong got the forgiveness that Aunt Hua said that day, and his heart was much more at ease, and after that, Aunt Hua's attitude towards him was also more gentle. Although he didn't say that he was intimate, it also made Zhu Rong feel much more comfortable.
And Yang Yanzhao didn't care about these things. At this moment, he was very busy. He worked hard to buy the money he saved, and consumed a small half of it because he bought food.
But even this small half of the silver is worth hundreds of thousands of taels. Fortunately, Liangjiang Road is rich in rice grain. Most households have surplus grain in their hands, so they are not afraid that they have money to buy rice.
The carriages were transported one by one to Xinghua and Fuzhou, and the escorts were fully armed soldiers, eliminating the peeping of the little bandits.
And Yang Yanzhao entrusted all these things to Lin Yuan and Zhang Quan for responsibility. He stayed in the sea salt refining workshop, together with Shan Hu, thinking about the extraction of sea salt.
"Your Excellency, you see, the color of this salt is much better than before."
In the room, Shan Hu said thoughtfully that the salt in his hand is much better than the usual output in terms of size and color. If it is put outside, he can guarantee that it is definitely the best in salt, but adults do not seem to be satisfied.
Yang Yanzhao is indeed a little dissatisfied. He frowned and has been trying for days. The filtration is indeed effective for the first time, but there is a lack of drug addition, and many of the invisible impurities still cannot be removed.
In the room, the old Yanhu was picking up things with their hands and feet, for fear of disturbing Yang Yanzhao, so he didn't even dare to say anything, but just drew it with his hands.
"Wait a minute!"
Although the sudden sound was made, although the salt households couldn't understand it, they stopped immediately and looked timidly at Shan Hu on the side, trying to understand what Yang Yanzhao was talking about from him.
Obviously, Shan Hu also didn't know why. He was about to ask, but Yang Yanzhao got up and stepped forward, pointed to the black paint held in the hands of a young salt household, and asked, "What is this?"
"Your Excellency, this is grass and wood ash, which is used to extract brine, and some debris can be removed. Our experiments are directly used brine, so adults have never seen it."
Shan Hu hurried forward and explained that Yang Yanzhao stared at the grass and wood ash and stopped talking. His straight eyes made the salt household like sitting on pins and needles, holding a bag full of grass and wood ash in his hand and did not dare to move at all.
At this moment, Yang Yanzhao meditates in his heart on why grass and wood ash can remove impurities in seawater. There is no doubt that it is because of the effect of adsorption. When it comes to adsorption, something suddenly flashes in his mind.
"Stanhu, hurry up and find some charcoal blocks after burning wood."
With an order, although the single tiger did not know what Yang Yanzhao was referring to, he still rushed out. This salt-making workshop usually uses firewood to cook salt, so the charcoal blocks are also easy to find.
Sew it into a bag with gauze and put charcoal in it. Yang Yanzhao is looking forward to slowly filtering the brine on it. Although this is not activated carbon, the effect is at least much better than grass and wood ash.
Two hours later, the brine has been filtered dozens of times. As the concentration of brine increases, the white crystals under the wooden basin are becoming more and more obvious.
"Put this water into the pot and boil it."
Hearing the words, Shan Hu immediately called the salt household who was guarding one side to do it. Soon, the sea water boiled up, and the white salt also appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this new salt, those salt households all showed an incredible color. The single tiger took the white salt flowers in the porcelain bowl, which was also unbelievable. He stretched out his fingers and took some and put them in the mouth. For a moment, he was actually extremely happy.
"Your Excellency, it worked. This salt particle is small and crystal clear. It is really a fine product in salt.
Although there is still a gap between this and the salt of later generations, at present, the quality has indeed improved a lot. Yang Yanzhao is naturally quite happy, sighing that the hard work these days has not been in vain.
Nowadays, the texture of salt has improved, but in terms of quantity, it still needs to be improved. Thinking about it, Yang Yanzhao remembered the saying of drying salt again.
After careful calculation, this method is indeed feasible. Several pits of different depths are dug at the seaside, so that the sea water flows from high to low. Each pool is equipped with several filter bags containing carbon blocks, which can reduce the hard work of salt households and increase production.
Even if it is cloudy and rainy, you only need to cover the pit pool with oil-paper wooden boards, and you can protect the brine in the pool, and it won't cause much loss.
When he said the plan in his heart, Shan Hu was overjoyed to hear the words. He has been in contact with these salt households since he was a child, so he is well aware of the hard work. At present, there is a way to solve it now, even if he leads people to prepare.
The matter of Haiyan has been effective, and Yang Yanzhao's mood has also been much happier. Seeing that the sun was about to sink in the dense forest of the western mountains, he hurriedly took the horse with Guo Huai and went back to the prefecture.
Halfwayed, I saw Zhu Li running towards me. After Hua Gu's matter was solved, Zhu Yan returned to the cottage. Zhu Li stayed. First, he learned martial arts and helped Yang Yanzhao, and second, he took care of Zhu Rong.
"Master, uncle, the people sent by the court have arrived in the house."
Hearing this, Yang Yanzhao was very surprised. Since he wrote to the court and sent people, it has only been a month. I'm afraid it's rare in history.
It seems that the officials have been angry about the matter of southern Fujian. In this way, it is very good to use the hands of the imperial court to clean up southern Fujian.
After the secret joy, Yang Yanzhao pulled Zhu Li on the horse, threw out a few whips in his hand, and rushed to the house.
He jumped off the horse and threw the reins and whip to Zhu Li. Yang Yanzhao strode to the living room, while Guo Huai went to Xu Shaoyang's room. He only cared about the court, but before he approached the government office, he could feel more than a dozen powerful breaths.
Therefore, Guo Huai restrained his breath and wanted to have some discussions with Brother Shaoyang. Otherwise, it would be a good thing to leak the bottom and expose the identity of the younger brother.
"Dear lords, Yang Jing happened to have something to do and couldn't welcome him from afar. I hope you don't be surprised!"
Accompanying No, Yang Yanzhao strode into the living room. At this time, there were more than a dozen people in the living room. On one side, there were eight people wearing bright moon robes, and most of them were white-headed and drooping. They were closing their eyes. Even if they heard his voice, they did not open their eyes.
Even if Yang Yanzhao hides his breath, he can still feel that these eight people are all top masters.
On the right hand side, there are three people sitting inlaid with golden black printed robes. The hands have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and short whiskers under the jaw, giving people a resolute and decisive atmosphere.
The other two are slightly gentle. One is that they have a round and fat face and a smile. If it weren't for the black brocade clothes on their bodies, they would be no different from the shopkeepers of ordinary restaurants and teahouses, while the remaining one was much younger, with white faces and red lips, and was very handsome. He was looking back and forth at Yang Yanzhao.
"Lord Yang, there are many things to do. How can we have any complaints? The subordinate is the captain of Shuiheng sealed by the official family. Zhou Liang, specially came to help Lord Yang understand the witches in Fujian."
The man in black robe sitting in his hand got up and said something. The other two people beside him also stood up and saluted with their fists. They smiled slightly fat and said, "Sir Ma Lei, captain."
"Jiguan Zhao Fei said, riding captain."
Seeing the other party's introduction, Yang Yanzhao replied with a smile, "Ha ha, the three adults are serious. Yang Jing is just a transshipment envoy, and his appointment is just Hanlin's servant. How can he afford the word "adult?"
Zhou Liang shook his head and took out a yellow brocade from his arms, "Lord Yang, the official oracle."
With long live, Yang Yanzhao hurriedly knelt down to receive the order. Ma Lei and Zhao Feidao also knelt down together, while the eight people in white robes on the other side were still doing it.
Zhou Liang also ignored it and read the imperial edict directly. The meaning was to kill the members of the court in southern Fujian Province, and he was extremely angry with one of the things. Therefore, he sent 3,000 armored guards and eight worshippers to destroy the cult.
In the imperial edict, Yang Yanzhao was ordered to temporarily appoint an appeasement envoy on behalf of Fujian Road, and exempted Fujian Road from two years of imperial tribute grain and three cents of tax.
These are all in line with his secret expectations, and I have to say that they are all good news.
"Lord Yang, take the order."
Hearing the words, Yang Yanzhao kowtowed again. After saying thank you for the official's grace, he stretched out his head with his hands and took the imperial edict.
After receiving the imperial edict, Yang Yanzhao was about to say a few polite words, but Zhou Liang turned around and asked, "Lord Yang, in the troubled times of the southern Fujian cult, the adult should be shocked. Fortunately, the emperor's kindness is vast, and the adult is safe. It's just that when the subordinate came, the official told the subordinate to do something and wanted to ask the adults about it.
Although he didn't understand what he meant, Yang Yanzhao answered immediately, "Although General Zhou said it bluntly, I should know everything and say everything."
"Then there will be your lord. A few days ago, there were masters of Buddhism and Taoism in Fujian?"
As soon as he said this, Yang Yanzhao felt a chill in his heart and did not look back, but he could still feel that the eight worshippers opened their eyes and stared at him with light.
Is it possible that the court has found that he is a Taoist?
This is absolutely impossible. Although he has had a deal with the Huajian School and King Kong Zen before, how can the breath spread thousands of miles away?
Maybe it be Brother Shaoyang and Brother Hede?
It's the same. Just as Yang Yanzhao was thinking about the words to explain, a Buddha's name came to his ear, "Amitabha, Lord Yang, thank you for your hospitality in the past few days. If someone has come to the court today, it's time for you to leave."
"The old man also left together."
These two sentences are exactly what Shikong and Feng Chenzi said. Hearing this, the eight court worshipers were all shocked, and Zhou Liang and the three of them bent down to hold the salute, "Congratulations to the two masters."
