Forced to farm for the princess

Hu Qi came in carrying a large box of bamboo slips, Wei Ruojin was a little dumbfounded, he thought it was a small box, but he didn't expect it to be such a big box.

"All of these?"

"Yes son, according to that boy, it's all." After a pause, Hu Qi asked again: "My son, what about the antidote?"

Wei Ruojin chuckled, "That's not really poison, what antidote do you want?"

Hu Qi never thought that his master would lie, so he bowed and was about to leave without knowing what to say, when he suddenly remembered something, and continued: "My lord, that boy wants to beg you to let him go, saying that he is not Lu Hui's." This servant belongs to Lu Chang."

Wei Ruojin casually flipped through a roll of bamboo slips, on which Lu Hui recorded when and from whom, and what he sold privately, which was extremely clear.

"How can I know if he is Lu Chang's servant? I caught him from Lu's home, so let him be handed over to Lu Hui." Wei Ruojin didn't like the boy's demeanor.

This young man sells his master so quickly, he may really be Lu Chang's servant, after all, in this era, there is no good end for a seller.

This box seems to be of no use value at present, Lu Hui is still wearing that old clothes, if he really wants to be rich, he won't be dressed so shabby, it's better than ordinary civilians.

After Hu Qi withdrew, Wei Ruojin continued to check his prescriptions, but unfortunately there were too few medicines in hand, it seemed that he had to find time to go to the mountains, and after returning to finish the sweet potatoes, he took the children out of the house let's go.

After packing up her things, Wei Ruojin just took off her coat and lay down on the bed; fortunately, although the things in this inn are not very new, they don't have any other smell.

He was sleeping in a daze, when he heard a noise, Wei Ruojin sat up quickly, just when he thought he had heard wrong, there were indeed indistinct voices and the sound of moving heavy objects from downstairs.Subconsciously glanced at the corner, there was still a box sent by Hu Qi.

He put on his coat, and as soon as he reached the railing, he met Lin Heng's eyes, and forgot to look away for a moment.

"Woke you up?" Lin Heng went upstairs to him, and gathered his coat for him.

"Didn't sleep well." Wei Ruojin looked at the bound people downstairs, the owner of the inn had already hid in a corner, "What do you plan to do with them tomorrow?"

"Prefect Yin is due to come tomorrow, and I'll leave it to him here; it's too late, and I'll take you back to your room to rest." Lin Heng held Wei Ruojin's shoulder with one hand and led him into the room.

It wasn't until she was lying on the bed that Wei Ruojin realized what was going on with Lin Heng's tone of coaxing the child to sleep just now?

"Wait." Wei Ruojin grabbed Lin Heng who was about to turn around and leave, "Where are you going?"

Lin Heng's eyes inexplicably became a little dark: "You want me to sleep here?"

Wei Ruojin felt her palms burning, and quickly let go, "Didn't I think you still have to look at the people below? Go to sleep, I'm sleepy." After finishing speaking, she turned her back to Lin Heng, pretending to be motionless. Fell asleep.

But he could feel Lin Heng's eyes firmly glued to his back; it wasn't until the sound of the door closing that he heaved a long sigh of relief, turned around slowly, looked in the direction of the door, and held his palms together. It's full of sweat.

Then he closed his eyes fiercely, and he said, "Why did Lin Heng become so strange? He dared to retaliate against his previous behavior. He really thought he was afraid?"If he is cowardly tomorrow, he will write the word Wei upside down!

When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright daylight. I was thinking about it in a mess last night, and I don't know when I fell asleep.

When he went downstairs, Lin Heng was already sitting in the lobby of the inn, and Governor Yin had also arrived.

"I got up late." Wei Ruojin walked over, the others saluted, and he raised his hand. "Prefect Yin doesn't need to be too polite."

"Are you hungry? Let's go on our way after breakfast. I've told Governor Yin that the people he recommends will come over in two days." Lin Heng pulled Wei Ruojin to sit down.

"Then these people..." Wei Ruojin pointed to the people who were arrested yesterday, and said, "I still have evidence of their crimes in my room, so I will trouble Prefect Yin to send someone to move them down."

"Yes, my concubine." Prefect Yin lowered his posture, not only because he saved the villagers of Wujing Village, but also because he was appointed after Lu Feng's death. It was the two in front of him who had the final say, as long as he followed them, he would definitely not suffer.

The sunny weather was just right for the journey, and when the sun moved westward, we finally arrived at the salt field. Wei Ruojin got out of the car, and the sympathy in his heart began to flare up again. These people looked sadder than tenant farmers working in the fields, and their clothes were worn out. superb.

Not to mention their bodies, all of them are very thin, and they have been exposed to wind and rain all year round, and the salt is corrosive to a certain extent. I am afraid that ordinary refugees will live better than them.

When the salt workers saw someone coming, they didn't know what happened, but everyone knelt on the spot very politely, with their heads firmly pressed against the ground.

Wei Ruojin didn't speak rashly again, and walked closer to the place where the salt was dried. In fact, there were very few places where the salt was dried, and most of them were still chopping firewood to cook salt, so it's no wonder they were slow.

"Hasn't this saltworks been around for many years?" Wei Ruojin looked around, there was only green in the far distance, and I'm afraid that all the nearby ones that can be chopped for firewood have been cut down.

"It's been more than ten years. Because it's too far away from Ranjue, they haven't taken it away." Lin Heng looked at him and said.

"Then get ready to start work, I tell you to do it." Wei Ruojin sighed.

Let the salt worker in charge find an open space that will not be flooded by high tide, and start digging the salt field.There is no way to produce more salt at one time with the ordinary salt boiling method, and it will also damage the environment. I am afraid that the desertification of this area will be serious, so we need to find a chance to restore it.

The seawater that has been dried in the lower places is transported to the salt fields in the higher places. When it is dried in the sun, the salt obtained is several times that of the salt boiled before.

In other words, the higher the concentration of salt in seawater, the more salt will be exposed to the sun.What's more, the sun on the beach is so hot that salt frost should appear in a day or so.

The only disadvantage of this method is that it cannot encounter rain, but according to the weather in the northwest, the second half of the year is the time for mass production of salt.

"Are you drying salt? But last time you told me to keep burning it..." Lin Heng asked Wei Ruojin after all the people he led helped dig the salt field.

"Didn't you say that the salt can't be wasted? It can only be boiled there. It's at the seaside, so boiling the salt will definitely not work. First, it's too damaging to the environment, and second, it's too slow." Wei Ruojin paused, " The sun is poisonous and the wind is strong here by the sea, which is just right for making salt. However, for fine salt, we have to find another place to make it.”

"Fine salt?"

Wei Ruojin nodded, "You don't want me to help you increase the production of salt with great difficulty, and let someone with a heart get rid of the fine salt method. I'm not the only one to lose."

"You are right, I will take care of this matter." Lin Heng had no doubts at all.

Wei Ruojin stared at him, then suddenly laughed again, making Lin Heng confused.

"why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing, let's stay here for two more days and see how the method of drying the salt works." Wei Ruojin wanted Lin Heng to see the effect. After all, Lin Heng believed in him so much, and even if he didn't see anything, he still let him go. , If there is nothing useful, he himself will feel guilty.

"It's salty, it's salty!"

The salt workers did not expect that after two days in the sun, the top salt field would produce salt as soon as it came out. Not only was the speed faster than boiling salt, but the amount of salt was also large. They were so excited that they shouted loudly. Lin Heng heard the sound and ran quickly past.

Wei Ruojin threw down a bamboo slip in his hand in an instant, and accidentally bumped his head when trying to stand up. Fortunately, everyone's attention was attracted by the salt workers. He rubbed his head and walked over calmly.

Seeing the large flakes of coarse salt, Wei Ruojin smiled. Fortunately, God has given me some face these two days, and it has been sunny for two days.

"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the princess!"

Not only the salt workers knelt down, but even the soldiers who came with them shouted; Lin Heng finally smiled when he saw the coarse salt with a light yellow color.

It's not the kind of face that smiles a little distorted because it hasn't smiled all year round; it's the kind of face that you know you're very happy just by looking at it.

"Ruojin, you are really my lucky star!" Lin Heng turned around and hugged Wei Ruojin in his arms.

Wei Ruojin forgot to speak for a while, Lin Heng noticed his slight stiffness, but he didn't want to let go, anyway, he hugged him, and simply pretended not to feel it, but fortunately, his body softened in the next moment, and there were more hands around his waist .

Lin Heng's eyes turned red, and he almost couldn't hold back.

"It's good to know."

Lin Heng nodded, the shouting in his ear was still there, he endured and endured, and then he slowly let go of Wei Ruojin.

"It's too far away from the palace, so it's inconvenient. It would be great if we could find another place nearby to make fine salt, but there are still too few people who can use it." Wei Ruojin sighed again, but as long as the salt comes out It's easy to say, "Let's discuss it later, we have to go back quickly."

Lin Heng also wanted to go back happily, he felt that Wei Ruojin must have liked him too, as he was wrapping his arms around his waist, so he just found a chance to show it alone.

Even...even if Wei Ruojin didn't like him, he wouldn't let anyone run away. He still remembered how Wei Ruojin was staring at his body that day in the tent.After getting along for a long time, he still doesn't believe that Wei Ruojin doesn't like him.

It's just that on the way back, Lin Heng couldn't find a chance to chat with Wei Ruojin alone, let alone express his heart.

Back at the palace, Lin Heng changed into his favorite clothes and went to look for Wei Ruojin in the yard, but found him squatting in the flower pond by the door with scissors to cut seedlings.

"Riding so far, why didn't you take a good rest in your room and come here?" Wei Ruojin realized that he had come when there was a shadow in front of his eyes.

"I'm just... to see if you feel any pain. What are you cutting?"

"Sweet potato seedlings, look here." Wei Ruojin pointed to a section of the sweet potato vine and said, "Put this in, and it will continue to grow. It took us nearly a month to go back and forth, but thanks to the housekeeper Shang managed it well. So How many seedlings can be separated."

"Is this also food?" A gleam of joy flashed in Lin Heng's eyes. From the beginning to now, he basically did what Wei Ruojin said.
